167 – How long are you going to endure? (1)
Asti pushed Prach onto the bed and immediately climbed on top of him.
And at that moment, she couldn’t help but be torn by a fierce inner conflict. Whether to just end it by eating his emotions, or to have an affair with him.
It’s not that Asti doesn’t have any desire. She thought that it would be a bit lacking to just kiss him once and stamp him as hers.
But it was also difficult to go against his wishes. He must have had more than enough physical desire, but he never tried to satisfy it.
It was frustrating because he acted as if the world would end if he satisfied his desires.
Even she wasn’t without desire. After all, angels and demons alike want to have a deeper relationship with the one they love.
Aren’t there many stories about angels and demons who fell in love with humans? Asti didn’t know she would become one of them… Well, whatever. It’s what she wanted.
Anyway, Asti now felt like she wanted to take the relationship to the next level. But she couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.
Prach was a man who was surprisingly firm in his convictions. He had a tendency to follow through with what he decided, and he was thorough in restraining his desires.
Even though most men his age were so full of s*xual desire that they couldn’t help but overflow, he had amazing self-control. Even though the woman he loved was in the same room, in the same mansion.
She couldn’t help but respect his amazing mental strength… but was it really okay to keep going like this? It was a problem to think of him as hers after just kissing him once, or rather, several times.
Then again, she should probably just stamp him firmly as hers.
She decided to be a little bolder and check his feelings to see what he thought of her.
If she checked and felt that there was a little room for her… she would just go for it.
Asti buried her face in Prach’s neck as she climbed on top of him.
* * *
Emotions are pouring in. The overflowing anxiety is still there, but even considering that, his emotions feel quite stable. And it seems that his stable emotions are also thanks to Asti.
Even though she pushed him away just now and was a little embarrassed, his affection, which he couldn’t hide, was clearly flowing out of him.
She felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction just from that, but she also wondered if it wasn’t enough. She needed something more, something else.
Asti wanted to know more about Prah, so she went deeper and deeper into his heart. It was probably because Prah had allowed her that much of his territory.
As she entered his mind, she saw it. His mind, filled with all sorts of things.
Worry, anxiety, joy, happiness, sadness… All the emotions that an ordinary person would have.
However, the greatest weight in his heart was Asti’s very existence.
Certainly, Asti was the most trustworthy person for him now, and it was clear that she was also the person he loved the most.
She had expected it to some extent, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she was completely taken aback.
‘…Should I just go for it now?’
Her inner conflict could only grow stronger. Even as a sense of satisfaction welled up within her, she wanted something, something deeper.
She took another step into Prah’s heart. Because she wanted to know his heart completely.
How many steps did she take? In the midst of a whirlpool of swirling emotions, she saw Prah standing there, looking bewildered.
“……Asti? This is strange. I don’t think this has ever happened before.”
He said, looking at her.
“It’s a kind of communion. The deeper you go into my heart, the more you will come to know me.”
“It sounds like something I’ve read somewhere before. Like the saying that if you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”
“It’s similar.”
“That’s strange.”
“What is?”
“My heart. I had a similar experience when I got Salus before, but that wasn’t my inner world. It’s the first time I’ve really checked what kind of emotions I have.”
“So, how are your emotions?”
“It’s true that people don’t really know their own emotions. That’s all I can think about.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. I didn’t know I liked you this much. Well, I was so worried about the future that I was all over the place, so I didn’t have time to think about my feelings.”
“You showed me you liked me quite a bit, though.”
“Did I?”
“Yeah. I was secretly happy about it. Did you think I didn’t notice when other girls were after me?”
“……I guess not.”
Prah looked at Asti as if he had just realized something.
“But still, I want something more certain.”
“Of course. In fact, I did too.”
“But you’ve been holding back until now?”
“Yeah. Like I said before, I have weak self-control.”
“Honestly, that’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever said.”
“What?”
“I’ve never met anyone with as much self-control as you. What kind of person in the world has a crush on someone and doesn’t do anything about it? Even non-humans know better than that. I’ve seen it more than once or twice.”
“Is that so…?”
“Yeah. So when are you going to stop holding back? If you keep going like this, you’ll have to wait until you’re really old.”
“I don’t think it will take that long.”
“And most of all, I want to do it. I’ve endured a lot, a lot of it, you know.”
“……Even a demon has s*xual needs?”
“It’s not a matter of s*xual needs, but a matter of affection. Anyway, these days, other girls are constantly looking for an opportunity to crawl into your bedroom, so I can’t let them get ahead of me, can I?”
“Are they that interested?”
“Not right now, but they’ll launch a physical attack every day? Aristae, you have nothing to hide now.”
“……That’s true.”
“Honestly, I don’t think you’ll be able to control yourself, so that’s why I’m doing this.”
“Is that okay?”
“In the first place, the destruction of the world is not something you can do on your own. That’s why you care about other guys. Right?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, can’t I do something for you? You don’t have to endure it forever? You tend to be too harsh on yourself.”
Prach had no choice but to agree with her. Since he fell into this world, he had never been harsh on himself.
“Come to think of it, it seems like it’s always been like that.”
“So, let’s take a break just for today. A day…… no, a two-day break is something you often take? Just think of it as a break, and I think it’s okay to just let go of what you want for that time.”
Asti said, licking her lips with her tongue. Her appearance was so erotic that Prach was having a hard time controlling himself.
As proof of this, Asti’s weight in his inner world was gradually increasing. Seeing the explosive growth of affection and desire, Asti thought it was enough, and stopped absorbing Prach’s emotions, and slightly raised her head to look at him.
Prach’s eyes were slightly hazy. Maybe the impulse was pretty strong.
However, Asti smiled at the situation.
“What do you think, are you a little more interested now?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
Prach frowned, as if he was having a lot of internal conflict.
“Why are you hesitating so much? The world won’t end if you take a two-day break.”
“If you add up a day or two, I won’t be able to do my job.”
“Worry is the eighth fortune. Then how will the people of the world have children? You’re overreacting and pressuring yourself. Out of the three things that humans absolutely need, two of them are not being met, so aren’t you accumulating a lot of s*xual frustration?”
“…….”
“You said you liked me? Do you like me but don’t plan on touching me?”
“I was planning on touching you someday.”
“I wish it could be a little sooner? I’m pretending not to, but the reason I let the other girls chase after you is because I thought you would hold me first. If this keeps up, I might get in the way of your plan?”
Prach understood her complaints well enough, so he looked up at the ceiling once and said to Asti.
“Don’t regret it.”
“What is there to regret?”
“Did you forget that I drank the blood of a giant?”
“……Ah.”
“The most powerful effect of the blood of a giant is the effect of increasing the stamina of the person who takes it. That’s why Adrian was able to swing that big hammer so easily.”
“B, but I’m a demon?”
“Well, let’s see if a high-ranking demon has better stamina than a human.”
Prach raised his upper body and squeezed Asti’s shoulders hard.
……….
That’s honest of them
