146 – Dark History (4)
There is a saying called numerical history. It literally means to die of shame.
This is exactly my current situation. I showed everything I didn’t want to show to anyone.
I wasn’t even at the level of familiarity with him, but I was caught by one of my closest friends. I’m so embarrassed that I can’t even say it.
Knock knock knock-
[Shivar? Can I come in? If it’s okay, open the door.]
As I was lying in bed and covering myself with the blanket, Kara knocked on the door.
I wanted to open the door as if nothing had happened, but I didn’t have the courage to do so.
In the wild, it was okay to do business with your butt exposed. But there was no one watching at that time.
If others see you, it will look like you are gradually becoming accustomed to civilization. The problem is that they are wild on the outside, but civilized on the inside.
‘I never thought you’d come already at that timing…’
I decided that they would be looking for me on the third day at the earliest. I thought I would be busy fighting for at least two days.
But surprisingly, the fight seems to have ended quickly. Kara’s presence may have been bigger than expected.
No matter how much she was an academy student, she would have been an illusion in front of Kara, who was faced with real strategy and tactics.
[I’ll wait in front. When you calm down, open the door.]
When I didn’t open the door until the end, Kara gave up. It would be more like she was holding off rather than giving up.
When she was told to wait out front, she seemed like she was going to stage a sit-in.
I also needed to calm down, so I was thinking of leaving a little later.
[Now! Let’s go! Beyond the sea…]
Anyway, that bead is singing in vain. If you listen to the language, it seems to be from the East.
Originally, I would have ended it because it was noisy, but the song is really good and more than anything, it’s annoying.
I want to lie still and do nothing. I feel like all my will is broken.
[Faith rises!]
No. f*ck. Are you comforting or are you teasing?
A while ago, when I was going crazy with shame, he greatly increased my faith.
Honestly, I don’t know anymore. I don’t know what the standard for raising faith is.
They say all believers in Chaos are clowns, and that fits the bill perfectly. If Chaos had seen it, it would have turned upside down.

‘Can’t we turn back time?’
It was a thought that suddenly occurred to me. If I could turn back time, I would go 10 minutes ago.
Of course, even Chaos can never turn back time. In the first place, not even the gods can defy time.
It may be possible to resist. This is resistance after all, and cannot be resisted.
‘In the Soul World…? ‘I don’t know.’
I sighed deeply. My mind was disturbed and various worries were running through my head.
When I noticed the presence, Kara also seemed to be wandering around outside. I’m sorry to keep leaving it like that.
Sweet-
So, I quietly came out from under the blanket. I left the exciting Oriental music as is and walked towards the window.
I looked out the window and saw Kara looking around at pieces of wood. These are things I cut myself because I was bored.
There were ax sculptures modeled after Ragnarok, as well as figures and all kinds of tools. I am very dexterous and the shape is quite good.
‘That’s Iron Man…’
Among them, the one that I put the most effort into is definitely Iron Man. A piece sculpted from memories that are now almost blurry.
Kara quickly lost interest in her because it was natural that she did not know his identity. She probably thought it was some kind of armor or something.
I think I could give it to Jane later when the exam is over. I hope you get inspired by seeing that.
‘But I believe there were other people besides Kara.’
I looked somewhere other than Kara. She certainly made other noises when she revealed her hobby to Kara.
The sound of laughing at me. It was hard to make out because I was wearing headphones, but it was clearly a woman’s laughter.
There is a high probability that Kara also noticed that. She just stays still because she doesn’t take any action.
Squeak-
I made up my mind and opened the door. When she heard the door opening, Kara stopped what she was doing and looked this way.
Her strange aura almost spilled over again, but fortunately, it was alleviated by her bright smile.
That unique, refreshing smile is always beautiful. It goes so well with my usual image.
“Have you calmed down? Sing well…”
Rattle-
I wish it wasn’t for that mouth.
I quietly closed the door as Kara mentioned her dark history again. Then she urgently apologizes.
After accepting Kara’s apology, I opened the door again and went outside. Her face gets hot and I can’t bear to make eye contact.
“I’m sorry. It was a joke, but I guess it wasn’t you. I guess this can’t be our secret…?”
“··· ···”
She said this as Kara turned her gaze elsewhere. She seemed to know that she saw someone else.
I don’t know how long this secret will continue, but I hope it will be buried quietly.
“But when did you learn another country’s language? It doesn’t seem to be an official language.”
“I just sang along.”
“I sang along and that’s how bad it is? It’s amazing.”
Is that all? Even though it was my first time hearing the language, I was able to understand it all.
I can’t speak properly, but I can listen. Didn’t you understand everything when you first met Luna and Ellie?
‘This is a bit interesting. ‘What kind of half-assed privilege is this?’
Actually, I feel grateful for this too. If I didn’t know anything at all, I would have searched in frustration.
Thanks to this, I knew most of the song lyrics and was able to sing along. It is unavoidable that there will be interruptions in the middle.
When will we be able to completely stop talking? The vocabulary in the common language was slowly reaching its end, but the speech was interrupted until the end.
‘You will find out about this when you visit Byzantine.’
I spent some time talking to Kara about her sculptures. Surprisingly, he didn’t even say anything about contracts.
It looked like they were trying to offer a contract when another team came. Or maybe he really came here to play with me.
“There are so many different songs. It’s amazing how each song from West, East, and Santia has a different personality.”
“What about Tatar?”
“Tatar only has songs related to ancestral rites. Most of them are filled with percussion instruments such as drums.”
Time passed quickly just by talking about the song. In addition, I come into the room I live in and look at various things.
Kara joked that she thought she could stay here for the rest of her life. Actually, welfare is good.
About 30 minutes had passed while we were talking to each other like that.
“You are here, Mr. Sivar.”
“Grace…”
As expected, Grace came to see me. With my attachment doll, Lee Yeon-ju, next to me.
When Kara appeared, she looked like she had remembered it too late. She also came to sign a contract with me.
When a strange war of nerves was going on between us, I suddenly noticed something strange. To be exact, it is Lee Yeon-ju.
“Puhup······!”
“··· ···”
As soon as Lee Yeon-ju saw me, she started suppressing laughter. Her cheeks became puffy and her eyes became bright and bright.
When I saw that reaction, I tilted my head for a moment, but realized it right away. The owner of the laughter earlier was Lee Yeon-ju.
A person who maintains a poker face so well seems to be unable to hold back his laughter. I felt a rush of shame.
‘Look at that. Look at that. ‘He’s even biting his lip.’
He even bit his lip to avoid breaking the mood. Thanks to this, his expression became very strange.
I will have to go to him separately later and ask him to keep it a secret. Otherwise, I think he would smile every time he sees my face.
“What kind of conditions did Kara offer to Sibar? I hope she gets good conditions. Well, they may be less than the conditions I offered.”
“You are confident. Then what conditions do you plan to offer?”
“Huhuhu…”
Grace, who had been fighting for a while, burst into laughter at Kara’s words. I don’t know why, but it felt sinister.
Finally, she took out her paper from her pocket. Maybe that’s a contract.
“But did you know that? You are not allowed to reveal anything about the contract. Tatars are sensitive to money calculations, so you know that, right?”
“Sheesh. I have nothing to say.”
“Then Mr. Shivar? Here is the contract, please read it.”
I received a contract from Grace. As she was handing it over, she noticed her face slowly turning red.
He’s clearly embarrassed. I quickly checked the contents to see if there was anything strange in it.
I felt Kara sneaking a sideways glance behind me, but she did her best to ignore it. This will be fine.
‘Let’s see… The supplies are as expected. You’re going to cook the food yourself?’
This isn’t that bad. Not only do they provide supplies, but they even cook for you.
Everyone knows, but I have to eat more than other people. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you cancel the contract.
Also, the terms of the contract are simple. Once the castle is occupied, the contract is immediately completed and can be renewed as needed.
It appears that a contract renewal clause was included out of concern that he might leave as soon as the conditions were met. If this happens, even Kara can’t do anything.
“······What is this? We are going to give you something sweeter than candy and softer than cake. Also, can Shivar give that to you? Are you kidding me?”
Kara, who was glancing at her contract from behind, seemed to have found this clause.
Originally I would have skipped it, but the question itself was so absurd that it felt like I was questioning it.
This is the same for me, so I gave an expression that I couldn’t understand. I’m saying I’m going to give you food or not.
“Actually, that’s the most important thing. I can’t say it here, but I can guarantee that I will give it to you unconditionally if you sign the contract.”
“Hey, don’t do this. People who mess with the original contract are the worst.”
“Mr. Kara. This is Mr. Shivar’s choice. You are not giving advice…”
“I won’t do it.”
I answered firmly. Even if it wasn’t Kara’s advice, the plan was to hold off on signing the autograph.
Because it is too ambiguous. Even though he was a nobleman, he clearly had the appearance of not knowing much about the world.
“Uh, why? I can guarantee it! I put my honor on the line!”
Grace seemed quite embarrassed by my firm refusal. This is clear when you see that honor is more important than life to nobles.
I responded in my characteristic blunt tone.
“Standard.”
“Standard?”
“Yes. This is your standard. My standard is different. First of all, it’s not food.”
Even if the standards are different, they are very different. This contract is tailored to Grace’s standards.
Considering her life story, it is completely understandable, but it is not possible.
Grace also seemed to regret her mistake, even if it was too late.
“Okay, so this is a piece of toilet paper? Now…”
“Key, kiss!”
“?!”
Kara was about to take her leisurely turn. Grace suddenly dropped a bombshell.
Kara said, of course, even I looked at her in confusion. Grace, full of determination to never be taken away from her, caught her eye.
Her face was already burning red, and her purple eyes were shaking violently. However, she persevered and revealed the identity of the contract.
“I will give you the honor of receiving my kiss! I can tell you that it is sweeter than candy and softer than cake!”
“··· ···”
“You don’t have to worry about rumors! I protected my chastity, but this is enough, right?!”
Grace is a carpet bomber who tells people to let everything happen. The problem is that the bombings all fell on strategic locations.
I was dumbfounded and looked at Grace blankly. Her face was so red that it looked like she was going to collapse.
Even Lee Yeon-ju next to her opens her mouth as if asking if this is true. I’m glad there are only a few people listening.
“······Oh. Really? Kiss?”
It was when I was dazed. Next to me, Kara muttered in a low voice.
Then he grabbed my face with both hands and forcibly turned it around. Thanks to this, I was able to meet her face directly.
It is an expression that stands out with determination in a different way from Grace. What on earth are you trying to do?
It was a time when I was unable to react properly to a completely unexpected situation.
Jjook!
Kara’s face came closer in an instant, and soon I felt the touch of her lips. It feels really sweet and soft.
What this means is that Kara kissed me. Although it was closer to a light bird kiss than a kiss.
But a kiss is a kiss. He acted boldly even though there were people watching.
“······?”
“You mean something like this?”
While I was having a hard time grasping the situation, Kara spoke. Then, he subtly wrapped his arms around my waist.
She took another drink and held me tightly. As if showing off our relationship.
“What should I do with this? I took the kiss first. So the contract is completely null and void?”
Even though she is saying that, her face is turning red as if it will explode at any moment. It’s just that her skin is brown so it’s not noticeable.
Of course, Grace won’t have anything to do with it. Her current condition can be expressed this way.
It’s bright red and dying. Her face is red and her eyes are black and dying.
“I, I…”
Grace then started pointing a point at Kara.
I feel like I might run out of breath at any moment.
“Caught red-handed…Tanning…Hey…”
Luckily, there was a faint ideal.
“Angachiga…!!”
I couldn’t bring myself to say that I was a barbarian and just fell asleep.
