217 – A Nail Named You #18
“here is… .”
“It’s Luden’s Underground Market. Have you ever been to Viktor-kun? The other day, you knocked down the mean bullies instead.”
Is it when you obtained Tyrbing?
This is the basement of Ludens.
It is like a whirlpool where all kinds of people gather.
For example, people who cannot act proudly on earth.
It is a setting that they went to the shadows and darkness to avoid the scorching sunlight, and the people who gathered like that gathered in the basement of Ludens.
In fact, there were really diverse people in the underground market.
However, it is difficult to tell who is who because most of them are either wearing robes or wearing masks that they don’t know where they got them from.
“Come on, use a Viktor-kun too.”
Enio handed me a mask to cover my nose and eyes.
Its shape is a dog… , No, judging from the long snout, it seems to be on the wolf side.
Enio also picked up a mask from a nearby stall and draped it over his face.
Enio’s mask covered the entire face, and it was a fox mask with impressive whiskers and closed eyes like threads.
“matches well?”
It fit well.
I want to check if there is a tail on my butt.
“How about you wear a mask? Do you feel rather comfortable?”
“… … .”
It was definitely comfortable.
Since my eyes are covered by the mask, my eyes can be directed at will.
This is exactly how people with sunglasses feel.
“Then shall we go? The underground market has a lot to see after the sun goes down. First of all, Victor… Uhm, it’s funny to wear a mask and call your name.”
Enio with his arms crossed.
the guy said
“How are you? Or darling?”
“… … .”
“Not good? I wanted to go with the setting of a couple secretly dating, avoiding people’s eyes. then… what would be good… .”
“No, call me whatever you want.”
“Okay, then you can call me Nyx.”
Nicks.
I am a little amused that the name is mentioned here.
Nyx is one of the nicknames Enio calls in the second round of D&A – the Black Star route.
This has not changed.
“Okay, Nix.”
When I called another name for himself, Enio shook his shoulders a little awkwardly.
“It’s a little awkward to be called that.”
It’s awkward for me to be called ‘you’ too.
Why, Enio’s title that calls me was always Victor-kun.
Enio said.
“Then let’s go. I have a place I want to show you. Do you secretly like bets and games? Then you will definitely like it.”
Shuk.
Enio reaching out to me.
“… … ?”
“Are we going to play lovers? You can hold my hand.”
“to… Nix, aren’t you too defenseless?”
“How are you? You can endure it with great patience. and me. In fact, I think you’re fine. no matter what you do to me.”
“… … .”
“hehehe, actually a joke. It’s a pity that I can’t see what kind of expression he’s making because he’s wearing a mask. Shall we go anyway? I think we’d better go soon… !”
Enio grabs my arm and pulls it.
The underground market with colorful lights on, passing through the gaps of countless people, we arrived at a large underground area… .
“casino?”
Rather than calling it a casino, it would be better to describe it as an underground gambling hall.
Inside, the sounds of shuffling cards and rolling dice, as well as people laughing and screaming, are distorted in various ways.
“for a moment. Stop.”
A large man stopped in front of us.
A student of Ludens? No, it’s hard to recognize because he’s wearing a mask, but he looks like an adult man.
“This is not a place where anyone can enter.”
Indeed, this is the entrance cut.
Then Enio said.
“Are you a newcomer? It’s the first time I see your face Go tell your master that Nyx is here.”
“Nix? What little kids… .”
It was when the masked guard crunched his finger.
Soon the man in the mustache mask who was sweeping the entrance with a broom shuddered.
“You, Nix… ! Hey big! What are you doing! I won’t let you in right now!”
“But mustache, obviously the procedure… .”
“This is the one who is above the process… !”
At the cry of the mustache mask, the hulking reluctantly opened the entrance.
* * *
The inside of the casino was more messy than expected.
It was a place where all desires and amusements, which cannot be expressed under the sunlight, rushed like a torrent and were scattered like crashing waves.
─Pilili.
A strangely soft flute sound.
Girls in school uniform dancing on stage to match.
They were all wearing masks, but they were exposing their bodies to the point of danger.
Like pulling up her skirt and tying her shirt to reveal her stomach.
“As expected, active duty students are different!”
“Hey, student. what grade? name is?”
“Hey, you can do anything in the underground market, but don’t you know that asking for your real name is prohibited?”
The masked men did not hide their desires while clinging to the noses of the students.
They took Renee out of their pockets, and the girls bit it with their lips exposed beneath their masks or received it with their bare toes.
“Have you ever been to a place like this?”
I shook my head at Enio’s question.
“no.”
Someone clings to me like that.
It was a woman in an evening dress with her breastbone exposed, but her face was also covered by a feathered mask.
However, except for the face, it was safe to say that the body was not covered at all.
A dress that seems to be worn on purpose to highlight the body, the thighs exposed at the side that are hollowed out, and the shoulder line with a string that is barely hanging.
“Are you a student of Ludens? I think it’s very tough. It seems to be more feral than I thought. how is it? Could you escort this older sister?”
suddenly?
Enio said when he was perplexed by an unexpected situation.
“Sorry, but he has a prior arrangement. For today, it is mine.”
And then he puts his arms around me
Enio’s chest touches my arm.
It felt like all my nerves and blood were focused on that elastic touch that I could feel even under my collar.
Women in evening dresses have long been erased from my mind.
Soon, the woman said, “It’s a fox mask… . Are you, by any chance, that nick? I didn’t expect to meet a famous person.” He bowed his head and backed off.
Enio said.
“Looking at her attitude, she looks like the wife of an aristocrat. It seems that he came to Ludens for sightseeing because he was tired of his boring life. In this underground part-time job where male students escort aristocratic women is prevalent.”
“is it.”
I looked around behind my mask.
Certainly, there are many sights that cannot be seen from above.
Actions that cannot be done proudly under the sun.
“Wow, this guy ate two chicken legs by himself… ! How far are you going… !”
“Look at that guy, no matter how much he wears a mask, he’s a grown man buying lots of dolls that girls would play with… !”
It was a time when I felt like I was about to lose my mind for a moment in this chaotic situation.
“Wearing a mask. Some people think I’m fooling people and playing a false me. Funny thing is, do you know that people can be more sincere when they wear a mask?”
“Seriously… .”
“It will rather reveal the me that I normally hide. With this little mask. No, rather, ordinary people are wearing masks to hide themselves.”
I thought I knew what Enio was trying to say.
It must be like people who borrow the anonymity of the Internet to reveal their true feelings.
“In that sense, how about being honest with yourself? Others have told you to be patient. If you put up with it too much, it can accumulate inside and become a disease.”
Saying that, Enio led me somewhere with his arms crossed.
It was like a gambling hall where the marbles were supposed to land on a game board where roulette was spinning.
“Which number do you like?”
At Enio’s question, I looked at the roulette wheel.
Is 0 to 12.
“It’s 12.”
“The reason is?”
“It’s just the biggest number.”
I spoke lightly, and Enio put his hand through his hair.
Then, Soo-wook takes out a large package.
It was a magical scene.
It must have been that he took out an object from the shadow of his hair.
“30 million for 12.”
“Four, thirty million… !”
“who is this?”
“What kind of money is that… .”
surprised people.
Soon, the roulette wheel and marbles rolled around… .
“3!”
Enio lost 30 million René in just 30 seconds.
I feel like I’m going to lose my mind.
“Money, lost.”
hehehe- and smiled Enio.
It’s like a high school girl who threw a 500 won note down the drain and was in trouble.
“how? It was fun?”
“you?”
“I had fun! Spending our family’s money!”
Enio’s attitude is oddly bright.
I peered at Enio’s shadow under these lanterns, dazzlingly brighter than the sunlight on the ground.
“… … .”
“what are you doing? Let’s go to the next one!”
* * *
“Ah, it was fun! Is not it?”
“… … .”
“This is the first time I have wasted 200 million René in one day. All the money I brought today is gone.”
The amount I barely paid back with all my youth.
It’s a little shocking that it was an entertainment that someone could use in one day.
… Burn 200 million in one night!?
Yes, in the original world, there must be a difference between the rich and the poor.
“I wish I could rest for a bit… .”
Enio looked around.
Soon the man in the golden mask, who had been watching us the whole time, appeared and rubbed his hands.
“Nix-sama, it’s been a while. You didn’t show up last semester, so I was worried that we might have been abandoned.”
“It’s nothing special, last semester was more fun than I thought.”
“okay. We too must break out. The reason why this underground market has grown so much is thanks to Nyx-sama’s benevolent spending, so everyone is worried… .”
“It’s done. Manager, I want to rest, but is there a quiet place?”
“A quiet place… . Just in time, there is a room used by VIPs… . Nyx-sama is looking for a room… . Surprisingly. Maybe with this male student… .”
I could feel the eyes looking at me under the golden mask.
It is an eye that scans people.
“indeed… . You don’t seem to be an ordinary student. I think I saw it somewhere… .”
“Manager, don’t cross the line. As long as we wear a mask, we are nobody.”
“sorry. It’s the first time I’ve seen Nix-sama with a man. Didn’t you reject all the courtships of any men?”
“Yeah, because they were all fakes who wanted to pretend to be real. More than that, do you have a room yet?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Pair-.
As the manager applauded, women in maid uniforms appeared. Then he guided us somewhere, and Enio followed.
Then, a room appeared that was so gorgeous that it was hard to believe that it was a room made in the basement.
The bed, with a red carpet on the floor and a soft duvet, was slightly larger than two people.
“Huh, it’s hard to play! Is it because it’s been a while?”
Enio flopped down on the bed.
Thanks to that, her skirt rolled up, revealing her white underwear hidden by her stockings, but she didn’t seem to notice whether it was because she was tired or excited.
I was thinking about it in many ways.
I overcame myself and said.
“Enio, the skirt is rolled up.”
“yes? where? I don’t know But, I don’t even have the energy to lift a finger in the first place. Would you mind lowering your skirt instead?”
I want you to take your skirt down
To me, who had seen provocative things in many ways, it was too reckless.
But.
It was more fatal to leave Enio’s black stockings and the white underwear that was reflected in them.
Because even my self-control was slowly going to the bottom. There are no magnets to draw attention.
I slowly approached the bed.
pounding.
pounding, pounding.
heart beating loudly.
Enio’s chest rises and falls.
A mask that somehow seems to peel off.
The white belly and navel are revealed by the black school uniform top.
It smells so damn good.
Looking at it made me feel like I was going crazy.
You’d better get down your skirt and get out of here.
“… … .”
So it was when I closed my eyes and reached for my skirt.
Something grabbed my wrist and pulled it.
“… … !?”
when you come to your senses.
I lay the fox mask in front of my nose on top of Enio’s body on the bed.
Enio and I are only two distances apart.
The gap between him and me was barely 1 cm.
Enio said through the mask.
“—Idiot, I showed it on purpose.”
