Chapter 19. Confinement (4)
I’m depressed.
If I had to define my current state of mind, it was like that. What am i doing here now?
I can only speculate that a considerable amount of time has passed. Maybe about 2 weeks? I wasn’t sure because there was no way to accurately leak it.
In modern times, I was happiest when I was comfortably using my cell phone under a blanket.
“Ha. I don’t even remember now.”
At least, if you have a computer or TV, it won’t be this difficult. Although I have no conscience to wish for such a luxury in my current situation. I was feeling the complete disconnection from the world right now.
“What should I do now?”
I muttered as I picked up the pillow. The longer I spend alone, the more I often talk to myself.
I have heard it said that what makes a person most vulnerable is loneliness. I didn’t have a lively personality, but I never thought I’d feel stuffy because I didn’t talk.
The only person I could talk to was Jane. Perhaps because she was busy, the frequency of Jane’s visits was quite irregular.
“Are you busy these days?”
It’s funny. I’m in no position to worry about the woman who imprisoned me. I had to worry about myself.
She asked her to release it several times until now.
“Not yet. Sorry.”
Jane, who didn’t feel sorry at all, asked me to wait. Until when
“Don’t keep provoking me. I’m doing this because I didn’t show my faith from the beginning. Shouldn’t you be grateful for not sending me to work right away?”
A genuinely angry expression. She had to keep her mouth shut when she tried to tell her that she’d rather go to work. Is it really all my fault?
What if I hadn’t run away? It’s already past, but I’ll assume what if.
“If Youth hadn’t helped me….”
Then at least she might not have come this far.
“Sum!!”
Unknowingly, the thought of resenting Youth came to my mind and I vigorously shook her head.
I hate myself for thinking that way even for a moment. I didn’t even know how grateful the helping hand was. Ungratefully.
Since I came to this world, nothing has succeeded. Even his personality has deteriorated. Was I such a useless person?
I should have gone to school as usual. Why do I have to go through this? All in all, why take the subway!
Since I’m still, my thoughts are increasing. I twisted my body and kicked the crumpled blanket with my foot. The white blanket that had fallen to the floor seemed to be mine.
“Yes. Let’s move.”
Good luck. Well done
I leave the bedroom with my shackled legs and head for the kitchen. Pouring water into a cup and inhaling it, I feel that my mind clears up a little bit.
Let’s think positively. Humans are animals of adaptation. I’ve gotten used to this kind of confinement to some extent.
Let’s think about it. Unexpectedly, Jane treated me not badly. They took good care of me by packing delicious food every day as long as my stomach was in moderation.
“Coming to think of it, what is different from Pillar Seobang?”
When Jane wasn’t around, I went to the bathroom to wash up. She ate the food she prepared.
Although she could see Jane looking at me as she slept. She pretended not to know.
If there is one thing that is fortunate, it is that the ankle injury has not been noticed. Was it because Jane yelled every time she tried to touch her ankle? He had a guilty expression on his face.
“Ha ha.”
The problem is that I don’t even touch my body. Actually, that didn’t make much sense.
Well, I’m not talking about how to do it. Wouldn’t you generally think of the reason for doing this as affection or desire?
“Boss, think carefully. If not me, who will take care of you?”
There was a strange pride and obsession in Jane’s smiling face. Even though they were looking at me, I felt uncomfortable with their eyes projecting others.
“I don’t even want to be cute. You just have to be like this. Is it that hard? Surely you can’t do even one of them right?”
Is Jane seeing someone through me?
Since this is the situation, insomnia has developed. She tried, but she never dreamed of her dream of meeting Yoo In-na again.
“I wonder if he is coming.”
But I know. If he could have come, he would have come a long time ago.
Because he acted as if he would definitely come. Who am I to come to this world?
I thought there would be circumstances, but my heart was bitter. Anxiety about not being able to wait just started creeping up.
I had to come up with a more aggressive plan.
⁕⁕⁕
Dreuk-!
The door opened and Jane returned. The corners of her thin, fine-lined beauty’s mouth rose slightly.
“What?”
Jane’s expression, which seemed sensitive, relaxed. Her slightly widened eyes twinkled as she walked over to where I was sitting.
“Does the boy know how to cook?”
The word unexpected came out in his voice. My cooking skills aren’t very good, but if I can let my guard down, this is about it.
“Huh. What do you mean? Could it have been poisoned?”
“There is no such thing.”
I picked up one of the food I cooked with my fork and swallowed it. Only then did Jane with a spoon smile.
“Just kidding. If that’s the Bocchan’s choice, then just die.”
“… What do you say?”
I should have put some real poison in it. I can’t even get it in the first place.
“Huh. What?”
“What?”
“Why do you do such pretty things?”
Jane’s slightly drowsy face was like that of a sleeping cat. Her dress, which exposed her shoulders, kept flowing indiscriminately.
“It’s delicious. Bocchan, can I get married?”
“Just eat.”
Let’s dig a little bit.
“Hey, is something going on?”
Start with the utmost concern.
“Hmm. Why?”
Obviously he looked tired when he came in. Now, he is smiling and swallowing his food. That’s a good response.
“No, you came much later than usual.”
“This is impressive. Honey, did you wait for me?”
Why is he laughing like that?
Reminds me of the children’s books I read as a child. The traveler’s clothes could be taken off by the hot heat rather than the cold wind.
First, we decided to stimulate emotions. I’m not touching my family, but this is the only thing that comes to mind right now.
“Oh right. The clothes I am wearing right now. Did you say it was your father?”
“… Huh. That’s right.”
“What kind of person was that?”
“This is nice. Are you finally interested in me?”
I picked up the cup that was on the table and drank it. Thirst is quenched by lukewarm water.
“If you don’t feel like talking about it, don’t. I was just asking.”
I thought of another topic in my head. But Jane, who put down the spoon, spat out the words casually.
“He was a good person.”
“… Ah.”
“Is the word strange? Raised me and loved me you just suffered That’s it. Isn’t it normal for a man to raise a child alone?”
When she said that, she seemed somewhat relieved. This isn’t it.
“Why are you laughing?”
“With that uncomfortable ankle. It’s funny because I imagine the young master cooking.”
“Not funny at all.”
“Yes. That’s right. Cute.”
Jane speaks with a chin chin. I hate it and want to hit it.
“By the way, how is your ankle? Wait for a sec.”
“Huh?”
Jane got up from her chair and walked over to me and cut her knee. Then he stretches both of his hands towards my legs.
“Don’t touch it!!!!”
“Ah. Okay. Calm down, Bocchan, I won’t touch you.”
After squealing, he goes back to his seat. I’ll start with the main point.
“… Didn’t we build up some trust? I’m a bit squeamish Could you please just solve this?”
“Huh? If you release them, they will run away again.”
“… Where am I going?”
Jane smiles softly. She puts on a look of heinous concern. As if she was genuinely concerned.
“Right. Bocchan has nowhere to go. So you should stay by my side.”
“That is not true. If you really care about me, then you can’t. You broke my ankle too.”
Fast.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. He doesn’t even show his ankles!”
“Is that the attitude of an apologetic person?!”
Boom!!
“With only that proud body!!”
Jane was speechless when she slammed the table. It just felt that further persuasion was too much for a relationship that had gone awry.
⁕⁕⁕
The warrior party arrived at another village before sunset. Compared to the previous small towns, it was composed of a peaceful and lively commercial district.
After each person purchased the necessary items, they decided to gather in front of the fountain. The center of the town, a busy street, passed by various people.
“It’s not expensive, so don’t be burdened. You know I love you so much, right?”
“Of course. Thank you so much for the watch I love you too.”
A man and a woman who appear to be a couple hug each other affectionately. The items that the man received as a gift from the woman were too conspicuous compared to the simple clothes.
A luxury watch that looks expensive at first glance. The man smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the luxurious watch that looked like an aristocrat or a murderer.
“I love it.”
“I’ll make something better next time.”
“Really? Hmm. What would be good?”
After a while, the couple left for somewhere. Ailee’s pointy ears, which were watching them, moved crookedly.
“Look at them going to the inn. I’m sick and tired I’m afraid I’ll take it away.”
“Will you leave me alone? Just looking at it, the woman seems to be a Hogu.”
“Is it okay for a saintess to say that?”
“It’s annoying. Still, isn’t a watch a cheap way to learn life lessons? Besides, as long as we are satisfied with each other, that is enough.”
Layla’s silver hair swayed in the wind. Her sacred-looking saintly clothes fluttered, showing off her beautiful figure.
“You are too. The character is unique.”
“It’s better than a perverted elf full of dirty thoughts.”
“Aren’t ordinary saints? What did the saintess say? Woo-wook.”
“When I return to the temple, I will record that the race of elves is crazy about men.”
Even though they fight bickering now, they were serious friends who guarded each other’s backs during battle. Sienna, who laughed at their conversation, muttered as she watched the couples passing by.
“When the demon lord subjugation is over, I will make a real boyfriend too.”
“How young. I will do it with two people.”
As if she had been waiting, Ailee shouted. When people’s attention is focused on the sound that is too loud, he immediately shuts his mouth.
Sienna approached Yoo In-na, who was quietly looking at them.
“Are you sad that you still can’t go to the capital?”
“Ah. No.”
With a slight smile, Yuin touched the armor she was wearing. It was a strong and solid armor. For one price point, she must be the most expensive she has ever worn.
He grew the fastest, but was the weakest among the party members. Not yet. So she had to become stronger.
“Let’s go back to the inn now.”
After finishing her chores, Elina walked away wearing a robe.
