034. Even if you get caught by a tiger, come to your senses, huh…?! Together
Selene led the way, followed by Endymion.
“…….”
Endymion’s expression was subtle. That’s right, because there was nothing holding him back now.
‘Why… ‘
Not long after hearing Selene’s mad words, Endymion was freed from those cold chains. Rather than him solving it himself, Selene freed it on her own.
That’s why Endymion looked like he couldn’t know more.
‘Why did you let me go?’
I was even told that I couldn’t let go. If so, wouldn’t it be right to tie yourself to it even more?
Of course, it wasn’t that Endymion had such a taste. It’s only when you think rationally.
‘Why… ‘
Doubts deepen inside unless you ask them. He didn’t have the courage to ask Selene. The girl I saw earlier was like a product of refined madness.
Previously, it was a risk factor not knowing what to do, but now it is a risk itself that is not strange no matter what you do.
Freedom is welcome. However, not knowing the intention made Endymion feel uncomfortable.
‘What are you thinking?’
Endymion looked at Selene’s back and was locked in her agony. Then, without realizing it, Selene stopped her steps as if she had reached the place she wanted to come.
“This is…”
Endymion hesitated. The place where Selene led her was because she was familiar to him as well.
‘The first room I stayed in….’
She said she never came back after being imprisoned. So she now had more memories of being somewhere else than there.
Anyway, Endymion had an unbelievable mind. She won’t know why Selene brought her baby here until she opens her door… Maybe-
“It’s been a while since I came back here.”
Kiik—
Selene naturally opens her door and steps her foot inside. Then Endymion hesitated, and then she followed inside.
“How do you feel about coming back?”
“…Can you take that to mean that I can stay here again?”
At Endymion’s question, Selene nodded her head in affirmation.
“Yes, you can stay here now. Until another ‘room’ is provided.”
“Another room…?”
She must have heard Endymion’s question, but Selene laughed and didn’t reply. She acts like she didn’t hear, but that must be smoke.
“Anyway… Stay here for the time being. You can go anywhere you want to go. You want to leave the mansion and go to the garden? You can go as you please. There’s nowhere you can’t go in this space.”
“…….”
At this point, Endymion asked her with her eyes.
‘What is your intention?’
The ability to unsettle people is excellent. Despite his intense gaze, Selene remained silent. Just…
“Why is that?”
… It was only a meaningful smile. She was so natural that she looked like an actor wearing a mask.
‘No… She’s more like a criminal than an actress.’
There’s no way that kind of madness can be seen in an actor. In the end, Endymion had to let her go without being able to resolve her discomfort.
“Then… see you later.”
Selene promised lunch and left leisurely. She finally left, and Endymion, who was alone with her, focused on her door for a long time and was immersed in her thoughts.
Then, a thought came to my mind.
‘Anyway… Does this mean that you can tie me up?’
Thinking about it, there was no way Selene would show such favor for no reason.
‘If it had been before I tried to escape, before I felt betrayed, it might have been a little different.’
But it was after Selene had already had a bad experience. In the yard where the overflowing madness is clearly visible beyond her eyes, it is difficult for her to expect unrequited favor from her.
So Endymion thought otherwise. I thought this might be some kind of provocation.
‘If I can get out… Feel free to go out, is this it?’
I wonder if this idea is too leapfrog, but after Endymion had already thought about this, other possibilities didn’t even come to mind.
Selene held her miasma. Unlike before, when the possibility of escape was overflowing, I wonder if she had some device in place.
‘Once… Let’s check.’
Endymion has nothing to shy away from. She actually found out what she had hidden from Selene, so what should she do to hold back her powers any longer?
Give energy to her eyes. Her blue eyes soon caught the light of a goblin’s fire. Then she looked around and scanned her room.
‘… Doesn’t exist.’
There was no trace of the eyes that followed her before. Endymion moved and looked again to see if there was a corner she had missed, but-
“…….”
In the end, all that came out was dust. Endymion stopped and pondered her thoughts for a moment. Her anguish is evident in her face, as if she is about to make a difficult decision. However, he made a decision soon, and a brilliance was in his eyes.
Peel off another layer of seal near the heart. The energy that flowed out was at the level of doubling the energy that flowed into the eye.
Endymion began to gather the energy that seemed to spread in all directions at any moment.
Saaah——
Then, a waterspout erupted from the floor, and it took only an instant for it to grow large enough to reach the ceiling of the room.
Wheein——
The wind from the tornado blew through the room. Endymion’s hair also fluttered wildly. He kept his eyes closed, ignoring the harsh wind that brushed his skin.
Soon, when the preparations were over, Endymion removed the clasp of energy he had been gathering with difficulty.
Puuuong—!!!!
With the loud sound, I feel the energy spreading widely. It was the first time Endymion had ever tried it here.
It was originally a technique used to grasp the surroundings, but fortunately Selene’s world wasn’t that big, so it seemed like it would be easy to see the entire world.
And, as if to prove that thought.
‘I can feel it.’
Information about this world flooded his mind like a tide, thanks to the feeling that Endymion had spread far and wide.
Endymion realized it only after finally reaping all the energy he had spread and capturing the overflowing energy.
‘I can’t go out.’
There was a reason why Selene was afraid of letting go. Clearly, Endymion, who had crossed the border once, knew. How thick are the boundaries?
‘It’s called a boundary, but… It was a barrier after all.’
For the sake of an independent world cut off from the rest of the world, the curtain that confined this world was opened.
‘But… I was able to go out.’
If you’re overdoing it, but after checking again this time, that thought has completely disappeared.
‘I can’t go out for too long.’
There were well over a hundred borders like before. It was a similar situation to having over a hundred bulletproof glass stacked on top of each other.
Smart-
‘… I must have noticed.’
Since he just didn’t notice, it was only natural that Selene noticed the energy. As expected, Endymion opened the door relatively calmly.
“Did you bring your lunch… here?”
“You look so busy doing something.”
Selene shrugged her shoulders. She had a smile on her face from the moment the door opened.
‘In the past… I guess I just thought I was in a good mood and moved on.’
I couldn’t do that anymore. Now that I have understood at least part of what that smile meant. Now that she has already caught her once….
“…Come in.”
Endymion took her into her room without much resistance from her. Selene came in as if it were her homeroom (which is true) and set her tray down on her table.
“But… You don’t have a spoon?”
When Endymion looked at her tray with several bowls and said, Selene snorted and said proudly.
“What are you talking about? It’s obvious.”
“Yes? Where…”
Selene’s gaze stays in one place. Endymion didn’t even have to follow her gaze. Because all she was looking at was her, and she was herself.
“…Do you want me to hand-feed you?”
“No, no… Food must be eaten with dirty hands.”
Saying that, Selene unexpectedly took out miscellaneous tableware such as spoons and forks from her arms.
‘What happened… ‘
“What must I do to get this?”
“…What does that mean?”
Endymion asked in bewilderment, and Selene grinned and licked her lips with her tongue.
“I forgot to bring my appetizer.”
“…So what?”
You mean bring it? For what?
‘Someone who can obviously bring things while sitting down.’
She seemed to have something Selene wanted. Endymion watched her wet her lips.
“…I’ll get it.”
She had been in this situation before. However, the difference between then and now is whether or not it is tied.
Now is different from the time when I couldn’t even resist. She tried to avoid Selene’s clutches with the excuse of bringing it.
But Selene reached out her hand and effortlessly locked the door.
“How do I get out?”
“…….”
As Endymion turned around, she this time-
Boom!
-The window closes in an instant. Her clasp was also tightly locked.
The two were left in a perfect closed room. Endymion was taken aback when he felt someone standing up behind her.
“Where are you going…”
Selene whispered in a sweet voice and wrapped her arms around his back. She is smaller than Endymion, but her Endymion’s back is naturally bent.
Is this the pressure of a predator?
“Ugh…!”
Endymion spat out something he didn’t know whether it was a face or a groan. And that was after Selene pressed her lips to her throat.
I had a hunch that the meal time would be very long.
