The Story of Gothic Lady Who Met a Grave Keeper in Another World - Chapter 26

?I cried out as he fled.

?Mr Thorden fled with his crotch filled with desire, and at around noon – a knock came at my door, so I opened it. There stood Mr Thorden, who had changed from ‘dirty gravedigger cosplay’ to ‘clean gravedigger cosplay’! I could have screamed, too.

“Oh my gosh! Wow, that’s amazing! He’s wearing a proper gilet ……!?It’s not a dirty cravat that I couldn’t understand what purpose it served any longer, in a tattered shirt…Oh, I want to take a photo of you….!”

?Suddenly, the geekiness of my life in Japan came to a head, and I was touching Mr Thorden’s body (or rather, his clothes), drooling at the feel and stitching of them.

?Ah, Mr Thorden is pulling away.

?That’s right, you would pull back if you were suddenly touched by someone sticky, that’s right.

?I’m sorry I’m a harlot yes, thank you.

“…… Eri?”

Yes, I’m fine!?Yes, it’s fine!?I’ve had enough!?I mean, if you had such a change of clothes, I wish you would have changed earlier!?The only thing that I can think of is that we both could have changed and looked good together

?I patted Mr Thorden’s breastplate and laughed.

?I miss having a charged phone and dress at hand.

?With my phone, the only thing I took a picture of was a group of glowing ghosts, and I didn’t take a single picture of anything else before it ran out of charge and went silent.

?I guess I could at least build up static electricity in this world, but it would be impossible to charge my phone with it.

?I’ve been so busy talking about myself that I’ve neglected to listen in detail to the stories of this world and the people who have come from Germany to this world, until now.

?If I’m going to live in this world, I should at least learn about the history of this world.

?Grave-keepers who can manipulate corpses, people who can speak a mysterious common language, and so on.

?Miracles and magic are aplenty in this world. If I could, I would like to learn the common language that Mr Scuito has mastered.

”Eri. –. —-?”

?Ah!

?I was in my world when Mr Thorden called out to me and I was startled.

?The basket Mr Thorden offered me contained unripe apples and stale bread.

?Food for the day.

?Food, or food, or food, or …. food.

?In the beginning, when I was starving every day, this was still the best and most gratifying food, but as I got used to it. Now, it seems boring and rather bland.

?Unsweet apples and hard bread that almost shreds your gums.

?That’s every day.

?Of course, I can’t afford to be extravagant, and I’m very, very grateful for that, but even if you take that out of it, it’s still a bit exhausting.

No, but I won’t let it cloud my expression.

?Thank you, Mr Thorden!?Thanks to you, I won’t starve today!?The food is great!?I want to go out for barbecued meat!

?I mean, Mr Thorden, how do you build that body on bread and apples?

?Where’s the protein?

?Is this another mysterious power of the gravedigger?

”We have a kitchen, I wish I could cook …… I’ll ask Mr. Scuito for a bit.”

?The moment I said it, Mr Thorden’s expression was drawn.

?”What is it?”?The only word in that sentence that Mr Thorden could understand right now should be ‘Scuito’, but what’s so drawn out about it?

”…Scuito, –, —-?”

”Yeah, no, I don’t understand it at all, Thorden. …… What’s Mr Scute about?”

“. –, —-.”

?The first time he saw a woman, he was a little bit nervous.

?The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your situation is to make sure that it is in the right place at the right time.

?The first thing that comes to mind is our last activities!

?Don’t tell me that because I kissed you last night, you think I am your lover?!

You are a 21-year-old cherry boy with no romantic experience!

?And you’re so possessive that you can’t even stand the thought of me mentioning Mr Scuito’s name!

?Hahaha, you’re in trouble!?A popular woman is sinful, isn’t she?

?…… It’s not that sinful, is it?

He is just so innocent, he thinks some kisses would make me his lover.

And yet?I’m in a situation where my ownership is legally in Mr Thorden’s hands…

?Wouldn’t that be a little too bad?

?Wouldn’t it be a problem if Mr Thorden said he wouldn’t let me go…?

?Fidgeting.

?My heart is kind of tingling.

?What should I do? I don’t want to think like this, but I’m a vile woman.

?Mr Scuito warned me a lot. ‘Don’t make him feel like it.’

?I was only thinking about our physical attractions.

?But I wasn’t thinking about the feelings that might come with that.

?For a moment, I thought about the carnal desires being directed at me.

?But if Mr Thorden ‘liked’ me, I would hurt him badly, since I do not feel the same.

?Mr. Thorden mistakenly thinks that I romantically want him.

?He probably thinks I’m in love with Mr. Thorden because I asked Mr. Scuito how to say “kiss me”.

?But then! Then, it’s Ms Scuito’s fault. What’s with that man, “Don’t make him feel like it”?

?We’re the same age.

?No, but…

?Yesterday, I threw up right after he kissed me.

?If I hadn’t recovered, I think it would have all ended in a definitive fallout.

?It was still me who took Mr Thorden to my room and kissed him again.

?Even if the trigger was Mr Scuito’s mischief, it may have been my action that made it complicated.

?Why did I kiss Mr Thorden?

?A 21-year-old boy, at his wits’ end, devastated, lonely and pitiful.

?I pitied him.

?I wanted to show him that I was accepting, after a life where rejection was the norm.

?But one day, I’m going to walk away from this place.

”…. Ah …”

?I looked down at the apple and bread Mr Thorden had given me and then looked up at the ceiling.

”How irresponsible ……”
