4 . Rihanna, her circumstances (2)
“Come in first.”
I invited Rihanna, who was soaked in the rain and looked like a drowning mouse, to her house.
When Rihanna entered the house she and her children cleaned at lunchtime, the smell of Rihanna’s fishy rain spread quickly.
She bowed her head and naturally sat down on the sofa in the living room.
It was unpleasant to see her sit on the sofa without permission, without even asking if she could take a shower first, and without showing the slightest sincerity to shake off the rainwater from her clothes.
Well, it was wrong to expect courtesy from a bitch who didn’t even have a proper home education.
Entering the room, Rihanna looked around and spoke friendlyly to me with her fang-baring grin.
“Ahin, you live in a pretty nice house, right? Weren’t you really rich? If I had known it would be like this, we would have been closer.”
She seemed to be judging a person’s value in terms of a house or goods, as if she was a beggar begging in a back alley.
I clicked my tongue once and then asked in a screeching tone.
“I have no intention of having a leisurely chat. Why are you here?”
During the time we were traveling together, she had never been so angry with her colleagues, nor had she spoken so coldly. Rihanna gulped down her saliva as if nervous at my chilly demeanor, which had clearly changed from those days.
She opened her mouth quietly, wiggling only her fingers.
“Did you hear the news?”
In the current situation, there was only one news. A story about Leon, who failed to subdue the demon king and suddenly disappeared.
Regardless of my will, I managed to hide the twitching corners of my mouth and showed a more prickly attitude than before.
“I did, but what does that have to do with me? I am no longer your colleague.”
Rihanna’s face as she looked at me, as she maintained her infinitely cool demeanor, began to light up more and more nervously.
I even heard the illusion that the bright green eyes were gradually becoming cloudy.
“That, right?”
Inviting someone to your home as an old friend is slowly reaching its limit.
Looking at Rihanna’s face gave me nausea.
No, it wasn’t just about Rihanna. Cassandra, Helga, and Leon. Even if Maria, whom I loved, was present, she would have reacted the same way.
I frowned and said, holding the space between them with my hand.
“Is that all you have to say? Newspapers can tell enough about that, so unless there’s something special about it….”
Before I could finish my words, Rihanna suddenly dropped to the floor and grabbed me by the crotch of my pants.
“Wait a minute! Then we… No, I was wrong! After sending you away like that….”
This time I cut her off with a single blow.
“Wrong? What are you doing leaving me like that? With that mouth-watering voice… !”
As I was about to raise my voice, I closed my lips and glanced at the children’s room behind me.
It was a difficult situation to describe in words if the waking children did come out to the living room.
Rihanna looked like she wasn’t going to take it easy.
I sighed deeply and looked outside. The night of the chase and rain was still long.
Talking in low voices will keep the kids from waking up, and you’ll find out what Rihanna wants.

Finishing my thoughts, I waved to Rihanna and headed to the second floor where my room was.
“Follow me.”
While climbing the stairs, I had the illusion that the children’s door was slightly open, but I was distracted by Rihanna’s sudden visit, so I passed it without checking it properly.
She entered my room and Rihanna, unlike her earlier, did not sit on the floor or on the bed, but stood still in her place with her hands together like a child receiving her punishment.
I sat down in front of her desk, turned her chair slightly and looked straight into her face.
“What do you want to talk about?”
At my words, which seemed to prompt her to answer, Rihanna then began to talk about her own original purpose, about her struggles as a skirmisher for her party after I disappeared.

“Rihanna, today you stay vigil.”
Rihanna gave a moment of bewilderment at Leon’s determined tone, but soon she smiled like someone who had heard a joke.
“Ah ~ Leon, even joking too much. I stood yesterday too….”
“Then who stands? Me, Cassandra, and Maria are the main members of the party. If you’re tired, will you be able to use your strength properly when you meet the demon lord or executive? If you recruited a f*cking beggar to your party, that’s enough. Is not it? If you understand, don’t talk and go to your seat.”
Unlike usual, Leon scolded Rihanna in a sharp voice.
It wasn’t a level of abusive language that you should hear just because you joked once. Rihanna looked downcast as she panicked but she couldn’t go against Leon and she turned and left.
“Okay….”

Fortunately, I was able to get a good night’s sleep because Helga gave me a short shift, but the fatigue of staying up all night for two days in a row couldn’t go away.
His tired body couldn’t play a proper role as the party’s skirmisher, and whenever he fell into danger due to an undiscovered trap, Leon cursed at Rihanna with bloodshot eyes.
Even when I was living as a beggar, I never felt so sad. Swallowing her tears alone, Rihanna’s longing for her face came to mind as she pondered.
‘I wish I had Ain at a time like this….’
The disappearance of Ain did not end with the inconvenience.
I couldn’t find the dishes he always prepared with his sincerity anymore, and there was no way that the girls, who were unfamiliar with cooking, could prepare a proper meal.
When the prepared emergency rations ran out, they had no choice but to roughly grill the meat of monsters whose rotten I was vibrating, or eat them raw when in a hurry.
Humans’ appetite for food is far greater than they thought.
The longer the attack on the castle, the more limited the food, and the meat of the monsters that I ate every day while enduring nausea eventually led to a decline in morale.
As the convenience experienced through Ain’s existence disappeared, the entire party eventually began to shake from the foundation, and the absence of one person became a shortcut to the party’s downfall.

That was Rihanna’s personal opinion, uttered over an hour or so.
“That’s about it. Am I such a fool to know the value of you only after I let you go?
Rihanna finished her sentence and wiped a drop of her tear with her finger.
I could understand everything else, but I never imagined that Leon would say something critical of a person’s personality.
She seemed aloof to me at times, but I remember she had a pretty gentlemanly personality in order to have a night with girls anyway?
“Yes, that’s the case…. I’ll understand once….”
As soon as she says that I understand, Rihanna’s face brightens in an instant, and she raises her head and looks at me with hopeful eyes.
I opened her mouth before Rihanna, who twitched her lips with sparkling eyes.
It’s a pity, but I have to say something.
“Understanding and forgiveness are completely different. Rihanna, I understand the pain you’ve been through, but I can’t forgive you. In other words, you thought of me because you were having a hard time, right? If things went well and I subdued the demon king, would you really think of me? Do you think that kind of sincere apology will reach my heart? If you’re done talking, please leave my house now. And I hope I never see you again.”
I said it in the best possible way, but I wanted to drive it away by pouring hot water on my face.
You hateful bitch, you haven’t contacted me for a while, and then suddenly come and forgive me? You said it was painful without me?
Nothing is as stupid as comparing human suffering, but I never thought that the pain I felt was less than the pain they felt.
‘Besides, Rihanna, you….’
I clenched my fists.
Me and Rihanna, who came to the party without any special talent like the others, even felt a strange sense of kinship. No, he even thought that he was the closest among the party members.
We stayed up all night together, found our way together, and disarmed traps together. When my co-workers thanked Rihanna instead of me, I could say I was more than happy.
When such a guy said that Leon was abandoning me, he took the lead and showed the appearance of an agitated bat.
Yes, won’t bean paste drip from the side of the strong man? Thinking and f*cking like that is part of your nature, so I could understand it.
Then I will live by the side of the strong until the end, why do you come to me, the weak, and open up my wounds that have barely healed?
I had no intention of accepting an apology that was only for self-satisfaction.
My firmness pushed Rihanna back to her floor.
As if it wasn’t enough for her to fall on the floor, Rihanna got down on her knees and began removing her clothes one by one.
Rihanna, who revealed her naked body in an instant before I had time to stop her, was shaking her body.
There are bruises everywhere, and I inadvertently turn my eyes to her weak body covered with skin and bones. It is said that she came out where she came out and went in where she went in, but she was a slender body whose sympathy took precedence over s*xual desire.
Rihanna put her hands together, bowed her head, and she handed her apology to me again.
“Because I’ll beg you like this… huh? Can’t we go back to the way we used to be… ?”
Rather, it was more suspicious.
Why go so far as to apologize, pretending to give away all the pride that beggars don’t have? It just seemed like there was some ulterior motive.
Her I told her without hesitation what she was feeling right now.
“I don’t know why you are doing this to me now. Did you come simply to ask for forgiveness?”
Rihanna’s body trembles. She had felt it for a long time, but it was a very easy-to-understand response.
Trash bitch, you intend to use me until the end. There’s absolutely nothing left of you innocence, a shred of sympathy just dusted away by that act.
I opened her mouth one last time as she kicked her just-naked, rain-soaked clothes with her foot.
“Get out, this is the final warning.”
Did you see the bloodshot rage in my eyes? Rihanna said nothing, stood up from her seat with a forlorn expression, and put on her juseom outfit.
After making sure she was all dressed up, I went downstairs with Rihanna.
She showed undeserved consideration to the beggar, and after opening the door herself, she gestured with her chin to the outside where it was pouring rain, signaling to turn off immediately.
Somewhere just because I kicked her in the ass and didn’t kick her out.
Rihanna looked as if she had something to say.
I didn’t intend to listen, but she spoke up before I shut the door.
“Ahin, I know this is shameless, but I will not give up. I will live in this town for a while and atone for you for the rest of my life… Talk to me anytime if you change your mind.”
Giving no time for her rebuttal, Rihanna quickly disappeared into the darkness.
