chapter 333
333 – Scene 333# Kiss (Illustration Added)
*
Peter looked very confused.
Actually, if you think about it from his perspective, it’s so confusing that you wonder if this is a dream.
Wendy, who she thought was dead, turns out she’s alive. She’s even getting along with Tristan, whom she considered her enemy.
Is that all she is? When I saw that I, the villain of villains, was hanging out with the noble Bella, it seemed like my brain couldn’t accept the reality before my eyes.
Throughout the meal, Peter was looking at the table I was sitting at with an expression that made him unsure whether the food was going into his mouth or nose his.
He looks like a starving slave who looks unexpectedly at his master’s meal. No one would ever think that Peter was the main character of the original work.
No. So, I tried to treat you like a protagonist, but why did you refuse? .
Still, he is said to be an indomitable protagonist who never gives in, but does he not give in to his pride?
To people who don’t know the situation, he would be seen as a vicious owner who makes his slaves eat on the floor.
In fact, the attention of those around me stings, but I can’t help it.
It was bad for my face to hang on any longer, and more than anything, I felt like I needed to keep my distance from Peter.
Even if I showed a friendly side now, it would almost seem like I was hiding my true feelings or being pretentious to Peter, who had always regarded me as an enemy.
So, I decided to give Peter a place to stay with Wendy.
Wendy would be able to clear up some of the misunderstandings about me, and there would be a lot of things she wanted to say to her siblings who were separated for a long time.
After finishing the meal, I took Wendy and Peter to a nearby cafe and tried to sneak away, but even Bella sneaked in between them.
“Why are you…”
“Why? No matter how touristy it is, it’s okay to leave two people alone.”
Bella whispers to me.
Surely… Since this is a resort for nobles, it would be a bit odd to leave the place alone with just two people.
However, I was glad that Bella voluntarily stayed behind because Peter noticed that I and Helga were nearby.
“Furthermore…”
“?”
“If I’m with you… “I might be able to clear up some misunderstandings about you.”
“…”
I never thought Bella would try to help me that far.
No, now that I think about it, it seemed like she was openly trying to dispel bad rumors about me.
At first glance, it is said that while I was busy with the emperor after the expedition, Bella would go around social circles and she would correct her misunderstandings about me.
It was a rumor I doubted, but it seemed like she was trying really hard to change my reputation.
“… “What is it?”
As I was getting a little emotional, Bella laughed and poked my side with her finger.
“You make all those facial expressions that don’t suit you. Was she touched by any chance?”
“No…”
“Aren’t you quick to praise me if I do something special?”
Uh, um…
Just considering the period of time I was possessed as Tristan, it was a long time. Maybe it’s because of my dirty personality, but no compliments come out of my throat.
“I am…”
“That’s Okay. “Honestly, it feels awkward to receive a compliment from you, right?”
“… I guess so.”
A bitter smile came out.
Honestly, I know. I’ve never said thank you or sorry my whole life, so it felt awkward to suddenly say that.
However, I am not staying still. I am also trying to change little by little. Of course, it’s not easy because this cold and blunt way of speaking is ingrained in me…
I’m just worried. I’m afraid that Bella or the people around me will misunderstand my feelings.
I managed to avoid the death flag and became close to a relationship that was close to bad relations, but I’m afraid that my tone of voice will cause them to grow apart again.
But that was completely unlucky.
“Joy. Count. “I know what you’re thinking.”
“What… ?”
“You’re probably worrying about unnecessary things again.”
I hit the nail on the head. No, Bella reassured me, as if she had completely read my thoughts.
“Don’t worry. Because I won’t judge you based on the way you talk. It’s just that you’re not the type to praise with words.”
Bella gently touched my cheek and kissed.
“I know. At least you are a person who knows how to be grateful. “You always expressed your gratitude through actions rather than words.”
“So, did you go out and tell my story even to social circles where I wasn’t popular?”
“… Did you know?”
“Okay… “I found out by chance.”
I turned my head to hide my embarrassment.
“For you… “I owe you.”
“Hmm…”
That’s all I can say. But I guess it wasn’t enough for Bella.
“It’s nice to admit it clearly. Do you have to be that honest with me from now on? “You understand, right?”
“Okay. I understand.”
“Hehe. “Good.”
After saying that, Bella tried to go to where Peter and Wendy were talking.
Then she suddenly turned her head and spoke to me.
“Well, I guess you can repay the debt you just owed me later when you go to sleep.”
Huh? When to sleep?
“What does that mean…”
“You pretend not to know. “It’s cute.”
No. We should have stayed separately… ? Why are you acting like we’re going to sleep together? .
Bella gave me a mysterious smile and gave me something in her hand her her her her.
“See you later then. Count.”
In her hand she was the key to the room she was staying in.

I was walking aimlessly looking at the night sea.
I stopped by the cafe a little while ago, but it seemed like the conversation was still in full swing.
I looked at Peter from afar, but as expected, he didn’t seem to remember Bella.
In the original work, the main character, Peter, takes the seat next to Bella.
However, the two people were talking without knowing anything about each other.
As a reader of the original, looking at those two people, my feelings were truly strange.
Regardless of whether I should like it or not, seeing the story unfold completely differently from the original made me realize that I had done a lot by coming here.
It was entirely my fault that the story went like this.
It is the result of a change in the future due to an unavoidable choice to save this world.
I made eye contact with Bella who was talking to Peter, and she winked at me as if telling me not to worry.
The sight was somehow ending, so I suppressed the thought of laughing and turning my head.
At the same time, I thought that it would be nice for this daily life to continue.
‘Okay. It’s too early to feel at ease.’
We are ready to stop the invasion of players, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to stop it ‘for sure’.
I know this, having prepared for invasion countless times in previous episodes. Even back then, I always thought I was perfectly prepared, but especially when I see that I always failed.
Even if I could go back this time, I didn’t want to fail anymore.
Among the episodes we’ve done so far, this episode was special.
Wendy, Helga, Bella, Blanche, Arthur, Luna, Lucy… Everyone is alive. Everyone is by my side. Moreover, now the main character, Peter, has appeared in front of me.
In all of the episodes, things have never worked out this well.
That’s why I absolutely want to succeed in this episode.
‘Success…’
I thought about that word quietly.
When I think about it, the success I really wanted to achieve didn’t just mean a future where everyone survives the player invasion.
I want to connect the world I lived in with this world.
I want to tear down the huge wall between the two worlds.
That’s the ending I want.
There was a time when I was frustrated by such a hopeless reality, but fortunately I discovered possibility.
No… To be precise, Sora told me.
I realized this when my younger brother, who was trapped in this world, was able to spill coffee on me in real life.
This world is not a one-way place where real people connect like online games, but a place where people can interact with each other.
Therefore, the word reality is not accurate.
Because this world was also another reality.
I, who was in another world, could have come into this world, but on the other hand, there’s no way a person from this world can’t go to the world I was in.
In order to make that happen, I…
“That guy over there looks like he has a bad personality.”
When I suddenly turned my head at the sound of a voice coming from behind, there was a woman standing there with a humorous smile.
“Helga…”
“Oh my goodness. “I didn’t know because it was dark, but it was the Count?”
It’s literally like reading a Korean language book.
Of course, it’s done on purpose.
In the first place, Helga had no intention of hiding her feelings. She just pretends to hide.
“Do you have any serious concerns?”
You are so quick to notice.
Even on this dark evening, you can catch my dark expression.
But I can’t tell her her my worries her her.
Because this was an assignment given to me.
“No…”
“Hmm… “The Count really can’t lie.”
Now I see that I wasn’t quick to notice. Perhaps because of the amount of time I spent with her, Helga understands my feelings just as well as Bella.
But even though Helga knew I was lying, she didn’t try to pry and didn’t question me.
She just said this.
“Count. “Swim with me.”
“…Swimming?”
“Yes. “I knew this would happen so I wore a swimsuit inside.”
Before I could say anything, Helga started taking off her clothes without any shame.
The surroundings were dark and I was lucky that I was away from people, otherwise I would have been the focus of attention.
“How am I?”
Helga, who was in a swimsuit in an instant, asked me proudly.
To be honest, I thought she would insist that her underwear was a swimsuit, but surprisingly, she was in perfect shape.
No… It wasn’t just a perfect bikini, it was a pretty pretty bikini swimsuit.
And Helga’s body was so beautiful that it was difficult for me to look away. Her body, which reflected the moonlight and glowed bluish, had no flab at all.
Just looking at it, it was hard to imagine that she was the daughter of the Ulf Wert family, which gave her incredible strength.
Because there was just a slender woman standing in front of me.
“Hehe… Do you like it that much? “I’m dressed well because the Count can’t say anything.”
“… Not bad. But I won’t go swimming.”
“Eh. “Why?”
“I can’t swim.”
I had no intention of doing it in the first place.
I came here to rest, not to play in the water. How tiring is playing in the water?
Moreover, the clothes I was wearing right now were a neat suit, far from swimming.
“Tooth… Then, Count, you can at least watch me swim. “I will swim for you.”
Are you saying it’s a vicarious experience?
When I nodded at her as if I was tired, Helga jumped into the sea with her eyes sparkling.
“Ahahaha! It’s refreshing!”
“I see.”
“It would be nice if the Count could come in too!”
“I’m done…”
“Heungchitppung.”
Helga, with her strange movements, soon began swimming under the moonlight.
Because of his outstanding appearance and solid body, it’s a scene worthy of a pictorial … But she only did so until she saw it from afar.
If you look closely, there is no tragedy.
“Count~. Look at this! “I can swim well, right?”
“… Dog swim?”
Helga was flailing her arms and legs with only her back floating in the water. Anyone can see that it looks like a dog swimming.
“Dog swimming!? “This is wolf swimming.”
Dog or wolf… What is the difference?
Helga, grumbling, started her dog swim towards the sea. In the meantime, swimming well is really… No, it looks like a wolf. Isn’t it called Wolfbert for nothing?
That was when I thought that way.
“Kya?!”
Helga screamed desperately.
“I have a cramp in my leg… !”
“?!”
When I went quite far…
Helga began to struggle in the sea, unable to move her legs.
But I had already jumped into the sea.
“Stay right there!”
“Count…” Sir! Ugh… !”
I approached her right away.
I’m not good at swimming, but I learned it well.
More than anything, what made my heart feel urgent was probably because it reminded me of Helga’s death of her, which I saw in the previous episode.
Every minute and every second was urgent.
I swam away, forgetting to get my clothes wet, and succeeded in catching Helga, who was struggling.
“Chokkolok…”
“Just be patient.”
He held her as is and swam to a place where the water submerged her up to her waist.
“Whoa… Fine…”
As I held Helga, I felt something strange. Her her legs her her her
“You… “Didn’t you just say you had a cramp?”
“Ahaha… That is… “It’s a lie.”
What?
Helga stuck out her tongue and spoke with a cute expression.
“With this, the Count can swim with me-“
“Do it in moderation!”
“?!”
I was moved to tears for a moment.
“Even if you play around, it’s oily resin. “Are you trying to play a joke on me with my life?”
“Yes? Uh… Count…”
How worried I was.
I was about to curse, but I held back.
Even though it was only for a short moment, I was embarrassed because I got so angry.
I thought I was used to dealing with emotions because I was trained in ‘patience’…
I took a deep breath. I managed to calm her mind and warn her.
“Never…” . “Don’t play with your life like this again.”
“S-sorry… Really…”
Helga was surprised and apologized, probably because she didn’t expect me to be this angry.
“I just need to know.”
“Excuse me… “Count.”
But Helga, who was being held by me, hesitated and opened her mouth.
“Am I precious to you, Count?”
“Okay. It’s precious.”
What can I say?
She stayed by my side until the very end. She never betrayed me and destroyed me together… To me, it’s irreplaceable…
“The Count is important to me too. “Then why don’t you have me?”
“…”
“Why don’t you make me the Count’s wife?”
A series of heavy questions left her speechless. More than anything, she couldn’t turn away because Helga asked me with her serious face.
“Am I unattractive? Oh, I know. Compared to the princess, I lack womanly qualities…”
“No…”
Helga’s wet hair was somehow bewitching. Water droplets fell from her long eyelashes
Who would look at this and say that it lacks feminine qualities?
“You are a very attractive woman.”
“The Count said so. “I belong to the Count.”
“Okay.”
“Then…Please show me the proof.”
It happened so suddenly.
Helga kissed me with her mouth.
However, it was a kiss that was uncharacteristically lacking in confidence.
You know that I will avoid you at any moment… Such an intimidating kiss.
That’s so pitiful.
It’s so pitiful and vague that it’s not like Helga… I ended up…
She decided to be honest.
“…?!”
I accepted Helga’s kiss
Her strong heart that only looked at me until now.
The faint heart of the woman who died with me.
I accepted everything.
Then Helga gently closed her eyes.
This time I stole her lips
I didn’t want to miss the small moan that came out of her mouth.
So we kissed deeply under the moonlight.
When our mouths fell apart, our eyes met as if we had made a promise.
“… Ha.”
A strange sigh flowed from Helga’s lips
I could tell even through the moonlight.
The blush on her face
“Okay, later… Are you coming to my room? “I won’t lock the door.”
I knew what that meant.
But I… She had heard similar things from others before her.
What should I do? Should I be honest?
While I was thinking that, Helga reacted as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Oh?!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Well, I… What should I do?!”
Helga’s expression is unusual.
Even more so than when I pretended to fall into the water.
I guess it’s not like I really got a cramp now.
No, no matter what, there’s no way you would react like this over something like that…
“What do we do…”
I waited very nervously for her to open her mouth
“I think I just got the idea.”
“…”
Okay. Well then.
“Huh? Ship, Count? Why are you looking so scary? Now, wait a minute! Wow?!”
Plop!
I threw Helga into the sea without hesitation.
