5.5 Interlude: Gold and Silver(1)
Seria’s mind is confused.
It was a completely incomprehensible situation. The brain, which had become a mess like a twisted skein, made it impossible to think properly.
Seria simply kept repeating the question in her mind.
why?
Why are Ian and Delphine together late at night?
The tightly closed door revealed only a tiny gap. Most humans would not even be able to guess the situation inside, but Seria was already a swordsman who had reached full maturity.
A small hint, a dim light, was enough. Seria was already sensing the scenery in the room as if looking into it.
I can feel the overlapping bodies of the two men and women.
Blue eyes flickered wildly. The tremor grew stronger as time passed.
“The first night seems like a lie… At that time, he behaved as if he were a monk.”
“Isn’t the one who attacked the monk the problem?”
It was a light laugh, a sweet expression.
Although her vision is blocked, a virtual scene is engraved on Seria’s retina. A man and a woman lying on top of each other on the bed must be exchanging deep glances.
The clothes were half disheveled. This was not a guess, but a conviction.
Seria trembled and inadvertently brought her finger to her mouth.
why.
They were the ones I loved the most.
There were no roots left for Seria. After her real father, the Marquis Yurdina, was detained, the girl’s only blood relative was her older sister.
Or a senior who is bound by a bond that is stronger than blood.
The two were having a tryst.
Even the beating of his heart seemed to wear out. I really had no idea.
With a pure white mind, he just recited words of disbelief.
won’t be, won’t be
However, the sound of rough breathing tickled Seria’s eardrums.
In the pitch-black silence surrounding the hallway, her senses became extremely sensitive. To the extent that the situation in the room can be felt more and more clearly.
The breathing of the two men and women could be heard as if they could be held in their hands.
It’s the breath of a beast.
The distance between the two men was gradually shrinking.
It was like a guillotine falling, Seria understood from the realm of intuition, not reason.
that’s a guillotine
“… … So, do you like it?”
“no.”
The smirk of the answer overlaps with the new voice.
Lips drop slowly.
The breaths of the two people are mixed, and the two flesh points are about to overlap.
The man who gave up engineering school smiled faintly.
“How could you hate it? I am the West.”
Seria almost vomited black mud in tears.
I didn’t want to see it anymore, so I closed my eyes, but my bizarrely developed senses arbitrarily reproduced the indoor scene.
It was a heart that wanted to run away like this.
But her legs, trembling like a newborn deer, didn’t listen. In addition, I was afraid to show off and have my existence discovered.
The reason was unknown.
But Seria didn’t want to show herself.
No, I knew the truth.
I knew very well what I looked like as I crouched down in front of the door, trembling, biting my fingers.
It was miserable and shabby.
So Seria earnestly recited.
No, please.
However, as the prayer was put to shame, an unfamiliar sound soon penetrated the eardrum.
An obscene sound in which mucous membranes intertwine and saliva is exchanged.
Seria covered her ears. The voices faded, but there was nothing I could do to erase the presence of people in the room.
Skin meets skin.
Seria felt as if she would go mad at the excited moans and the heat created by the mating of the two bodies.
“Huh… … ”
It burns through the teeth and lets out a stale breath.
Even then, Seria was consulting.
How, how could this be?
She was a woman who had been her older sister since birth.
And he was the first man I ever fell in love with.
Seria still remembered.
The back of the senior who went to fight the Witchbeast in place of Seria who sprained his ankle.
His kindness that comforted me silently.
The necklace that still radiates a dim light from my neck.
There was no chin to forget.
Because it was the first warmth I received. It was a precious memory of gifting a human heart to a girl who had been forging herself into a sword after her mother left.
I was in love and respected.
If I was injured, I couldn’t sleep because of nervousness, and whenever a girl like a fox next to me clung to me, it felt like fire was running through my veins.
Then, how should Seria react now?
A moan of pleasure stimulated Seria’s sensitive hearing. The trembling of the skin conveyed each act of the two men without looking at it with the eyes.
The gesture of a woman seeking affection.
The man’s body responding to him.
I feel like going crazy.
“Heh, heh… … .”
Amid the waves of the frenzy, Seria unearthed memories of the distant past.
‘be careful.’
It was a girl with languid eyes.
Golden hair and bloody eyes, the mark of Yurdina that Seria did not have.
It was right after my mother was taken away.
‘Because if you can’t prove your usefulness, it might end up like that.’
To a girl who had just lost her mother, those words left a stake that will never be forgotten.
Even the cynicism of the blonde girl that followed.
‘You always have to win.’
Looking back, it was a mockery that did not suit her age.
I didn’t know at the time who that smile was for.
‘Because it’s Yurdina.’
Seria felt the trajectory as if it were cutting through her chest.
Consciousness rises again from the past to the present.
A clicking sound came from beyond the door. A female body twisting her body and letting out moans soaked in pleasure.
Eww, Seria chewed off her thumb.
Sweet blood wets the tongue.
The sweet smell of blood flowed down my esophagus. It was only then that Seria felt her mind clearing up.
Panting, the girl thought.
Yes, it was.
It was a wound that I thought was erased thanks to my seniors. The nightmare wouldn’t go away, he thought, but he wouldn’t wake up shuddering.
It wasn’t.
My sister’s advice was, as always, correct.
I should have been careful.
should have won
Even so, Seria couldn’t abandon a single question until the end.
Sister, did you really have to do that?
“Ugh, yes… ha! Come on, West! Joe, just a little bit… Hey?!”
It was a voice that melted with constant stimulation.
Delphine’s voice was full of happiness as well as pleasure.
Yes, happiness as a woman.
Seria snapped again and crushed her fingers with her molars.
Blood and flesh dripped down the roof of his mouth. Oddly enough, the pain wasn’t that great.
Rather, it seemed that the piercing pain was clearing the debris left in the blood vessels of the brain.
That tingling yet cool feeling.
Seria’s consciousness groped somewhere in her childhood.
My sister has always been like that.
‘Seria, first, let your sister eat, then pick up the tableware.’
The meals I eat every day are also shared by my sister.
‘Because Delphine is an enemy. Unlike the lady… … .’
Family love, sister’s share.
‘Seria, your sister decided to have this sword.’
Even the sword she wanted so much wasn’t her sister’s share.
But what more do you have left?
have surrendered everything
The only thing they couldn’t yield was the victory of the hunting festival. It was a memory like a bookmark to be left in the life of that past defeat.
A jewel called ‘first love’ that can be cherished only once in a lifetime.
But are you trying to take away even that?
For me, I only have this now.
Didn’t you give up your family and your family’s affection? In addition, they swore unchanging respect and loyalty.
Even so.
If you still want to come out like this.
“Huh, huh?! Let’s go to sleep… Well, well, take care of yourself… All, again! I won’t provoke you again… Ehh?!”
By now, a long time had passed.
Seria held her breath silently, crushing her fingers.
Whoops, whoops, whoops.
The night is deep, and dawn passes, until the couple fall asleep exhausted from the aftereffects of pleasure.
Seria, like a rock standing on a cape, withstood the waves of shouting and whispering.
After confirming that both Ian and Delphine were asleep, the girl got up.
I stumbled once in a while, but it was okay. Seria stammered along the hallway, touching the wall.
Leaving a recitation that no one can hear.
“You have no choice but to kill… … .”
There was only a bleak chill in those blue eyes.
**
Facing the warm sunlight, I let out a languid sigh.
It was already afternoon.
When I woke up in the morning, I had to leave Delphine’s bedroom in a hurry. It would have been a big deal if he had been noticed by the Imperial Intelligence Service, but it was also because there were still plenty of schedules left.
The war is over.
But it wasn’t my fault.
I had a burden to shoulder as the planner of the tactical plan.
That’s why I’m moving my steps today.
Last night was a bit difficult.
Thinking that we won’t see each other for a while now, I ended up having a more intense night than usual even though I was drinking.
The fatigue that hadn’t gone away was the proof.
Even so, I cleared my throat and adjusted my clothes. It was to set an example for the person I was going to meet.
Of course, it wasn’t without obstacles standing in my way.
“master!”
In the distance, I could see the shadows looming and approaching.
I could tell just by looking at that big cone hat. I smiled bitterly and called my trusty colleague by name.
Hoping to correct that burdensome title if possible.
“Elsie-senpai, refrain from that expression from now on… … .”
“Where are you going today? You don’t want to go far, do you? I wonder if some year has seduced me… … .”
As always, it was a hopeless attempt.
Senior Elsie didn’t even pretend to hear me and poured out questions.
It was a question that was full of worries about me.
No, the last one is a little different.
Anyway, I decided to gratefully accept Elsie-senpai’s heart.
“The way I am going to meet someone is correct, but not a woman.”
At my answer, Elsie-senpai tilted her head.
Then, he said, “Hmm,” and stared at me suspiciously for a while.
Elsie asked with her chin resting between her thumb and index finger.
It looked suspicious to anyone.
“… … really?”
“No, then would I lie?”
It was an unfair treatment for me, who hadn’t told a single lie.
Doesn’t it look like a playboy being questioned by a lover?
Regardless of whether or not, Elsie-senpai didn’t look away from her doubts for a while.
Right before I announced my destination to my absurd mind, another interrogation continued from senior Elsie’s small mouth.
“Then Seria, who is that girl?”
“… … Is it Seria?”
Now it was my turn to return the half gate.
Seeing my eyes saying he didn’t know why, Elsie looked at me with a smile.
To prove my innocence, I did not avert his gaze.
Since neither of them backed down an inch, the faces of senior Elsie and I were even close to each other.
In the end, it was Elsie-senpai who declared defeat.
Right after their breaths touched their skin, the girl’s body jumped up and took a couple of steps back.
It was a bonus that his face was burning bright red as if he had figured out the situation belatedly.
“Mu, mu, mu, what! Why, why are you coming so close!”
“I stayed still.”
It was a lie.
But I decided to be shameless for a complete victory.
“In the first place, Seria, what are you talking about? I heard that Seria is organizing things on the front line. I hear you’re coming today… … .”
“I heard you already arrived?”
Perhaps to cool off his reddened face, Elsie sunbae fanned my face and said.
Of course, he couldn’t make eye contact with me.
“So I decided to go see the kid again. I just wanted to hide it from me… … .”
I had to pick and laugh at the hesitant excuses that followed.
Even if I were to meet Seria, why would I hide that fact from senior Elsie?
It’s been a while since my hand pressed down on Elsie’s cone-shaped hat. Naturally, it was like I was stroking Elsie-senpai.
Still, there was no resistance.
Rather, Elsie-senpai just lowered her head with a calmer expression on her face. Although I wiggled my index finger as if I was embarrassed.
“You don’t have to worry too much, senior Elsie. Are there really that many women who are as good as Elsie-senpai in the world?”
“… … Then Delphine, what about that girl?”
My speech was blocked for a moment.
Come to think of it, am I still being suspicious?
Eventually, I cleared my throat and had to add another story.
“As you know, the Yurdina family’s situation is out of the question, and I won’t be able to see Delphine for a while. Also, I have a relationship with the imperial family, right?”
“Then, who the hell are you going to meet… … .”
“Elf.”
At my one word, Elsie-senpai’s tongue froze as she continued to question her.
Then, a sense of despair crossed her eyes.
It was the look of biting my lips, Oops, the face I wanted.
“I’m going to see old Pope.”
Together with the elves of the village.
I smiled bitterly and lowered my head.
Now, as I face my second breakup, one thing I realized.
The more it hurts, the more people try to hide their wounds.
The more I do, the more scars will remain on my chest.
It was a sad and painful feeling.
**
and meanwhile.
“Are you here, Seria?”
At the highest point of Yurdina, in the family home office, the two sisters were having a meeting.
“… … Yes, sister.”
The blonde woman had a relaxed, gentle smile. But even the dregs of pleasure burning in those crimson eyes could not be erased.
It was a trace left by the love of the night before.
On the other hand, a dark shadow was cast over the face of the girl with gray hair. There was even a bleak chill in those dark blue eyes resembling the depths of the sea.
Although they are called “sisters” in the world, their color tone and even their tendencies are completely opposite.
It was truly a meeting of gold and silver.
Saria successfully unlocked “The True Yandere” achievement.
