Chapter 335
335 – Reasonable Doubt
ㅡJjook♡ Chu-eup, it’s cold… !
A sticky sound echoes inside the kitchen.
“Ha-eup, puh-haat..& Phew…”
With the sound of breathing that feels hot.
It was hot enough to rival the heat of a kitchen in the middle of summer.
“Sigh… ?!”
The cause of this stickiness was not something else.
‘You’re so active all of a sudden… ‘ … ?’
Because Rayleigh closed desperately.
He was showering me with 50 years worth of kisses.
When the invisible boundary wall collapsed, it welcomed me as if it had never happened before.
Is it similar to a dog that reunites with its owner after a long time and licks her face?
‘What kind of kiss is this intense..? I feel like I’m being hunted…’
It was just like the feeling I felt in real time.
The feeling of being captured and preyed on by a dragon.
Rather than an expression of affection, it felt closer to being eaten.
Perhaps due to the clan’s tendency to like battle, Rayleigh’s kiss was that bold and combative.
“Haeup-♡ Chuuut, eupuut.. Chuuut… ! Whoa… ?!”
A force that seems to engulf your lips and tongue.
Her tongue is busy marking territory.
Not only the lips, but also the nape of the neck, ears, and even the forehead and cheeks.
As he went from place to place, he reaffirmed that I was his and at the same time left a dark mark. With the will to never hand it over to anyone else.
ㅡKkuguguk… !
And perhaps he thought I might run away again, so he grabbed my shoulders tightly with both arms and wouldn’t let me go.
Of course, I could have resisted it if I wanted to… I didn’t necessarily push Rayleigh away. No, exactly, I couldn’t shake it off.
That’s right…
ㅡRurg…
-Snap! Pop… !
Rayleigh’s face looked so sad now. She was shedding tears so violently that one could believe she was actually a water dragon.
Although I didn’t sob loudly,
My eyes were bright red and swollen.
As if I had returned to my childhood, as a little girl.
Of course, tears also leaked from her right eye, which had her eyepatch on her. Clear and transparent tears, just like the ones on the left.
I thought it was completely eroded by the demon dragon,
It didn’t seem like we were there yet.
If the Demon Dragon’s power had been stronger, he wouldn’t have been able to shed such hot tears.
No, I wouldn’t have even been able to shed tears.
‘Maybe this could bring Rayleigh’s eyes back… ‘ …’
ㅡPat, pat… !
I accepted Riley’s kissed her her without any resistance and patted her back her. A hand gesture that a past breeder might have given to little Rayleigh.
“Mister.. He seems like a bad uncle… It was really bad… ! I know how much pain I’ve been through… ?”
After marking the territory (?), Rayleigh lowers her face and mumbles.
Was it because of uncontrollable tears?
Her voice Her is shaking a lot
Who would have thought that Rayleigh, with her strong pride, would show all of her her weak side of her.
Rayleigh reveals to me a voice I’ve never heard before and a face she I’ve never seen before.
“I’m sorry, Rayleigh… But it’s okay. Now I won’t go anywhere, I’ll be by your side…”
All I could give her was words of comfort.
It was such an obvious and cliché comment, but
If this can give her relief…
If only I could stop the endless flowing tears…
I could whisper as much as I wanted.
And above all, the words she spoke just now were not like the lies she had thrown out to reassure her for a moment.
It was a voice that came from the heart.
Was it because of the emotions remaining in this body?
Or were my emotions shaken by Rayleigh’s tears
I guess that was good. If only Riley could stop her tears.
‘Now those things are like this, we have to go together from now on. Because you never know when the monsters will attack again…’
Currently, Rayleigh is eroded by the power of the devil.
She said earlier that during the day she went through a battle and witnessed it,
She was too strong to deal with monsters.
That’s why I planned to be with Rayleigh until she was freed from the shackles of the demon dragon.
And the Demon Dragon is clearly targeting Rayleigh, so we can’t just let him do whatever he wants.
There will be nothing more troublesome than Rayleigh falling into the hands of a demon dragon.
“…”
“Raylee? Have you finally calmed down?”
“Uh, uhm…”
“Now, look at me. “Her face is completely messed up, isn’t it?”
ㅡUgh… !
After the warmest greetings,
I took out a handkerchief from my pocket.
To wipe Rayleigh’s face her her, which was covered with tears, snot, and saliva.
“What is this face? “I’m not even a child.”
“Yeah, but the tears just came naturally…”
“Shh, stay still. I’ll clean it for you. “Your pretty face is all ruined, right?”
“Ugh… ?”
Rayleigh calmly accepts my touch without saying a word.
ㅡSeuugh, Sseuk
Every time my touch wipes away a tear, Riley rubs her body. Her left eye was lost and her eyelid was fluttering. I couldn’t bear to look at myself directly.
In the past, there would have been a huge uproar for arbitrarily touching one’s body…
I feel like a completely different person now.
Where does the fierce personality like a wasp go?
He had become relatively calm, like a cute bumble bee.
“…”
Eventually, she seemed to have calmed down a bit and her bright orange eyes were staring at me.
Even though he only had one eye, he had no problem capturing my every touch.
I don’t know why, but the look in his eyes was a bit curious or puzzled.
“Well, it’s better now.”
Either way, I wiped Rayleigh’s face cleanly.
“Ah, man… ?”
Rayleigh looks up at me while calling me by a title that is a bit awkward for me.
‘It’s pretty, but it’s so pretty… Is this the guy who attacked you like that during the day earlier?’
I wonder if it’s my bare face without any makeup
Moreover, the sharp eyes have softened,
There was even a strange blush on her face.
Does it seem like the impression is somehow milder than before?
“Hmm? “Why are you looking at me like that from earlier?”
“Ah, uh… Well, that means… I’m really a guy… !?”
Rayleigh suddenly stutters in response to my question and lowers his head again.
What’s so awkward and embarrassing all of a sudden?
“Yeah, you just told me, right? “You don’t believe me that much?”
“No, I believe it… But no matter how much I look at it, I can’t get used to it… !”
“Huh?”
“If you’re a real guy, what on earth is that neat face all of a sudden…” ” ” ? You suddenly look so young! And the way you speak… !”
“Face… How do you speak?”
“Y-yes-! Of course, I’m not saying I don’t like it, but… Overall, I feel so young! No matter how I look at it, I can’t get used to it… !”
Ah, was that something like that?
Well, it’s enough to be suspicious.
The breeder that Riley remembers is a middle-aged man.
And he also used the grave tone of someone who has lived for a long time.
That may have caused cognitive dissonance.
It was a complicated problem, but it was one that had to be addressed accurately at some point.
“Your friendly side is the same as before, but it feels like something has changed… If you are a real man, please explain what happened. That doesn’t mean I doubt it.”
“Okay, I guess so. Then Rayleigh?”
“Yes, I’m listening, mister.”
“When you were talking to Schnelia earlier, did you hear her say that my memory is not perfect?”
“Ah, I heard..! He said that the shock of realizing that our clan was the demon dragon’s henchmen may have caused memory problems. And he also said that maybe that’s why he left my side…”
Rayleigh reacts by nodding her head vigorously. Her expression Her Her brightens even more with this one word.
“Yes, Schnelia knows exactly. It’s just like that. My memory is not complete since then. That’s probably why I feel like a different person.”
This was the best I could come up with. There was no need to add any other explanation. Because it could have become more complicated for no reason.
All I can do is hope that you understand it on your own…
“Well, then… ! Why did you leave my side back then?! And without saying anything…”
“The reason I left your side at that time… At first, it was just anger.”
“What… ?”
“I felt so betrayed because I had devoted my attention and affection to you for a long time. Of course it wasn’t your fault… Should I say that the Lightning clan itself has become disgusting?”
“Well, it was for that reason too…” ” …”
“Of course, that feeling doesn’t remain now. And Riley, you’re just a victim, right? “You didn’t do anything wrong because you didn’t know anything.”
“Mister… ?”
“I don’t know if you will believe this… I was going to visit you again when I found a way to purify your eyes. I thought that if I stayed by his side, all I could do was help the demon dragon’s resurrection.”
At first, I traced my past memories,
A plausible explanation was added little by little.
To completely restore my relationship with Rayleigh.
But now there is no need to come up with a plausible explanation.
‘It’s not like I’m really thinking about it, but I’m speaking softly, right? As if I had experienced it myself…’
It felt like something foreign.
A strange feeling that I am not myself.
If I had to compare it, my mouth was moving as I wanted, just like when I was holding a knife with my body.
Perhaps, the breeder’s memories and my original consciousness are becoming more and more assimilated.
“Tch… ! At least I’ll leave a letter… ! Do you know how much I resented you all this time?!”
“I’m sorry, if I had been more rational at the time, this wouldn’t have happened…”
“Hmph, that’s enough..! Because it’s already happened. I’m fine too.”
“Raylee…”
“By the way, uncle? I still have one more question… “Can I ask you again?”
“Huh. Feel free to ask me anything. “I will answer everything.”
“Uh… You know… ?”
“Hmm?”
Rayleigh suddenly moves his lips with a very cautious tone of voice and facial expression.
She continues her words, staring intently at my face.
“… Speaking of your face, what happened all of a sudden? How can you become so young?”
“Ah… ?”
Has it finally come?
This is a difficult part for me to explain…
