Episode 29

?????? (13)

Seeing her nervous voice tremble, he thought he shouldn’t make fun of her too much, but somehow it was hard to stop.

“Am I the only one who liked it?”

“Oh, you know, I said.”

“Well, you left me alone and ran away so quickly.”

“No, I mean. It’s….”

“The wound I got hurt at that time still throbs when it rains…….”

“Really…… sorry… I’m sorry…….”

Now Christa was on the verge of tears. It was quite thrilling to watch her, but he thought he should stop now. It would be difficult if she suddenly declared that she had committed a mortal sin and suddenly asked to be executed.

“As for the Holy Sword, wouldn’t it be better to decide where to sell it? No one would buy it as it is. You’ll have to make a proper appointment later.”

Ragnar seemed to think that Christa wanted the Holy Sword just for money.

‘He doesn’t know that I can’t die without that sword.’

Then the red mark on her left hand caught her eye. Last time, the mark, which was just straight lines, was now remarkably clear, so that it looked like a pattern.

What the hell is this?

It was ominous that it was getting bigger day by day. By habit, she rubbed the back of her left hand.

“What’s wrong? Did you get bitten by a bug?”

Then Ragnar took her hand again. It seemed somehow wrong to get caught, so she tried to shake off his hand, but her hand was already caught.

“Are you okay?”

There are such large red traces, but is he unable to see them?

“Can’t you see this?”

“What?”

It seemed that Ragnar could not see the pattern.

“Nothing……Nothing.”

Christa said so, raised her chair again, and sat down quietly.

“Where does it hurt?”

Ragnar asked back, but Christa didn’t say anything as if she was lost in thought.

“Does your wound still hurt?”

That’s what he’s been waiting to hear from her for a long time.

“Huh? Of course…….”

At that moment, Ragnar looked at Christa with a mischievous look.

“If I am sick…”

“As expected… Are you sick?”

Christa’s shoulders drooped.

“I think I’ll be fine if you give me a kiss.”

“What?”

For a moment she doubted her ears. Did she just hear him wrong?

“Christa, I think I’ll be fine if you kiss me.”

Ragnar confirmed and said once more. Christa’s fingertips were trembling. What is this guy saying now? She looked around, but there was only him and her here.

Ragnar came even closer to her face. She flinched and tried to step back, but there was nowhere else to turn.

Her heart began to beat like crazy again. She felt a rush of blood in her face. Her cheeks seemed about to burst.

“Hurry.”

For a moment, Christa thought about knocking Ragnar down and running away. There would be no other chance when he was defenseless like now.

But of course, she couldn’t do that.

If a guide sincerely requests something from an Esper, it is an immutable law that an Esper cannot refuse it. Even more so when such a request is made while guiding.

So now this is more of force majeure. So Christa retorted to herself.

‘I did it last time, too.’

Gulp. She swallowed her saliva with a grave look.

‘You can do it. I can do it.’

She said the same thing over and over again inside. She breathed heavily several times and looked at Ragnar. She’s done it once anyway. Will it be difficult to do it twice?

The goal was one. It was to go straight, looking only at Ragnar’s lips. Bring her lips over there then it’s over.

Christa gritted her teeth tightly and brought her face closer.

“Puhahahah”

However, the person in question burst into laughter.

“Why are you like that?”

“You’re so serious.”

And he hit the table and laughed. What the hell is so funny? Christa, who didn’t know what was going on, had no choice but to watch the scene with a confused expression.

“Oh, hahaha. Sorry for laughing. But I’ve been thinking about this since last time. Have you ever kissed someone before?”

Christa was lost in thought for a moment. Obviously, she had never done such an act with anyone in her previous life or in this life. So it was her first kiss that day.

“……that was the first time.”

“Well…… yes.”

At that moment, she felt that Ragnar’s expression had changed. It was like a predator’s expression in front of prey, for example.

“When you kiss…….”

Ragnar slowly joined their hands. Warm energy flows in again. It was a guide. It was difficult for her to reject this.

Between their hands, Ragnar’s thumb tickled her palm slowly. At that moment something in her heart seemed to be squeezed. She felt nervous.

Her heart started beating so fast that it hurt. It was like a prelude to something. She felt like all her senses were awakened by the surge of energy all over her body.

Before she knew it, his face was frighteningly close. It was so close that she could see the light shining in his eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time at a distance where they could feel each other’s breath.

“Close your eyes, Christa.”

His words felt like a spell. Christa closed her eyes without realizing it. Soon after, she opened her eyes slightly, surprised by the warm touch she felt. Unlike their first one that felt like she would be devoured, it was a soft kiss.

“And now breathe.”

“Hah…”

It was only then that she realized that she was holding her breath. At that moment, his hand touched the back of her neck. It’s as hot as fire everywhere he touches.

This time it was a deeper kiss than before.

She thought that the tongue was only an organ used for speaking and eating. But she couldn’t be any more wrong as his tongue skimmed through her teeth slowly and passed the fragile flesh on the roof of her mouth as if craving something.

Their lips separated for a moment only for them to kiss deeply again. It made her dizzy enough to make her head spin.

“Huh…”

Something hot boiled up deep in her throat. The heat seemed to burn in Christa’s head. This was similar to how she felt when she was about to lose control of her power.

Her emergency switch seemed to have been pressed somewhere. Now her body was like a fortress where an intruder alarm was sounding.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“H, how do I look at you?”

Instead of answering, Ragnar buried his face in the back of her neck. As he breathed, she could feel his fluffy hair around her neck. A shiver ran down her spine.

“I think I’m hungry…….”

“I’m not hungry.”

At that moment, something hot touched the back of my neck. At the same time, my body straightened up. It was a bit different from being surprised.

“Wouldn’t it be better if we have more marital relationships? How about six times a week. I’ll give you a day off.”

“Isn’t that… too much?”

“You don’t know anything. That’s how newlyweds are supposed to be.”

(t/n: Christa is being scammed lol)

That couldn’t be. Christa, who had already been married in her previous life, knew it was a lie. But somehow, she couldn’t think of anything to refute. Rather than that, all her attention was focused on his fingers wrapped behind her back.

“Then four times a month.”

There was no way she would stay sane after going through these exploratory battles every time.

“That’s once a week.”

“Oh, we can’t?”

Christa said, lowering her head gently. Her red eyes were filled with embarrassment.

“If you look at me like that, I think you should listen to everything I say.”

“How do you mean I am looking at you?”

Since earlier, she has been looking at him normally, but this man keeps saying strange things.

“Well, it wouldn’t be fun if I told you that, would it?”

“Why on earth are you looking for fun here?”

“Hey, isn’t it good to enjoy your one and only life?”

Christa looked at Ragnar tiredly. He looked really happy, smiling with his eyes folded up. Somehow she felt wronged. There was no way to hide her sulky expression.

“I’m not very happy.”

“What should I do to entertain my wife?”

“That…”

While Christa hesitated to answer, Ragnar kissed her on the cheek and at the back of her neck again and again.

Eventually, a compromise was reached by mutually agreeing with each other little by little.

“I’ll be busy starting tomorrow.”

“Why?”

Christa, who was still trembling in his arms, asked.

“We have to prepare for the wedding. It’s going to be the most luxurious wedding ever.”

??

Christa woke up early in the morning. At the same time every day, her eyes opened automatically, a remnant of her habit from her long military career.
