135 – After an uncomfortable night…
“Oppa? Welcome back…”
When I returned to the inn, the person who greeted me was Yura, who had a blank expression on her face.
“Have you had a hard time? You look very tired…”
With an ambiguous look on his face, half worried and half surprised, he asked me if something had happened…
“Nothing in particular? I’m just tired from going here and there.”
Unable to tell the truth, I answered lies and jumped onto the bed without even changing my clothes.
That’s right… She couldn’t tell her sister that she was exhausted from being squeezed by another woman, so she made up a good excuse and accepted her comfort with her whole body.
“Ugh… Really?”
“Did you see that I was that tired?
When such a question is readily asked, Yura nods her head without any hesitation.
“Yes, it looked a bit difficult… I guess I should say that the vitality I felt as soon as I came in was weak.”
Was it that much? But considering how much she spent to satisfy Elena, it was worth it for her to come this far.
“For a moment, I thought my soul had been stolen? That may be too much, but to be honest… I felt like a ghost from a fantasy movie or something.”
To be honest, I don’t think it’s entirely wrong…
At first, I thought something would happen to me, and my survival instinct sensed a threat to my life.
“Really? Anyway… I’m tired so I need to go to sleep right away…”
She tells Yura that she will now fall into a deep sleep and closes her eyes.
“Sleep well, brother.”

“Huh…?
But I felt the warmth next to her, and when she turned her head, Yura was smiling heartily next to me.
“But… Why are you sleeping next to me? There’s your bed next to me.”
Now, this morning, a room became available, so I moved to a place with two beds… Yura has her own place, and she goes out of her way to lie down next to me.
“Huh? Well, it’s better to sleep while feeling your brother than to relax a little, right?”
She was casually saying something that would be embarrassing for others to hear, and her expression was asking what the problem was.
“No… Then there’s no point in moving rooms…”
When I conveyed her words and pointed to Yura’s bed, she made a silent request, but it was no use.
“But you’re doing it because you want to, right? I like being next to you.”
Then he hugged my arm and maintained a lively smile.
“And… I know that you have so much talent… And I want to be even closer to you…”
Her face blushed shyly and he buried his face in hers.
“…….”
It’s a little uncomfortable… But due to Elena’s anger, her body is on the verge of death from overwork… Right now, she’s tired enough to sleep without worrying about that.
I have no choice but to close my eyes just to sleep tonight.
Until yesterday, she had spent the night in close contact with Yura, and the bed itself was wide, so she did not feel that it was narrow.
“Once I figured it out…”
Today too, the moment she was about to sleep with Yura by her side…
“Huh? There’s someone coming to visit us?”
Someone is knocking on the door of this room.
“I’ll go out first and see.”
Out of consideration for me, who was tired, Yura went out instead…
“I’m here. Husband, I told you earlier during the day, right?”
The person outside the door was none other than Luria…
“?!”
Yura’s mood suddenly changes due to an unexpected guest.
“You definitely saw my brother before…!”
I am more wary than ever, and I am glaring at the ancient god.
“Why, is there any problem?”
Lusria looks genuinely puzzled at Yura’s point out, just like Yura herself did earlier.
“Don’t you know that?! You referred to your brother as your pet!”
“Then what do you call a companion? What do you call a companion? Harold and I are officially betrothed?”
She squares her shoulders proudly without changing her expression at the sound that is so natural to her.
“Ugh…”
It was a truth I couldn’t accept, but it was a truth that couldn’t be denied. I grit my teeth and let out an indignant groan.
“So, will you get out of the way? I was busy so I couldn’t be by her side, but now I’ve come to fulfill my duty as her wife.”
It was in the form of a request, but as if the answer had been decided from the beginning, he pushed Yura aside as if he was removing something and approached me.
“Husband? I’ve finally finished my work, so now I won’t fall out.”
She just snatched Yura’s place and hugged me.
“Oppa?!”
She must have been quite shocked by such a sight, even covering her mouth to express her astonishment.
“Ugh… Then…!”
Then, with her bristling tail, she crossed over to the other side of Lucia, suppressing the freedom of her remaining arm.
“……”
How did it get to this point?
The sleeping condition has become very uncomfortable.
The two girls press their bodies as close as they can, as if they will hug each other more tightly…
“What are you doing? Trying to interfere with a couple’s sleeping together…”
In the end, Luria couldn’t stand it anymore and said something, but Yura also seemed to have no intention of backing down.
“Why don’t you get in the way between me and my brother and go to the bed next to me?”
I, who am caught in the middle of the fierce battle between Luria and Yura, who show no signs of giving up an inch, suffer needless harm.
“Stop it, both of you… I want to get some sleep…”
However, as if my words were not audible to the enemy’s provocation, the pressure wrapped around my arm did not weaken over time.
I couldn’t rest like this… No matter how tired I was, it was impossible to sleep because I was doing everything I could to disturb me.
“Husband, if that’s the case, tell that woman to get away!”
“Oppa, you’re better than that gloomy woman?! Tell her to quickly go to the next bed! It’s too narrow for three people to sleep in!”
If you tell me, what can I do for you?
No matter how much I think about it, my mind goes blank.
“…………”
A truly difficult situation that cannot be helped.
Anyway, tonight… I felt like I was wrong to take it easy…
◆◆◆
The coming morning, as expected, the uncomfortable weather was as vaguely expected.
“Ugh…”
As if I had been buried under a pile of stones, I barely managed to shake off the things that bound me and got up.
“….”
Looking out the window, it’s early morning
Considering the fatigue I felt the previous day, I didn’t get enough sleep.
On the other hand… Yura and Luria are in a very deep sleep, unlike me.
“Ugh….”
Because it wasn’t a proper sleeping suit, my body felt creaky.
It was really in the worst condition.
“First of all… Isn’t it today?”
I carefully get out of bed, still looking out the window.
Fortunately, the atmosphere outside the window seems to be no different from usual.
It was the peace I had always felt.
When will the moment of leisure that Tempus talks about…
I had to be nervous because I couldn’t freeze at the exact time.
Is it only a short period of time, about a day or so… Or is it time to properly prepare everything…
From what I remember, when I think back on what he said at the time, he said it would really take a few days…
When I looked at the advice to prepare sufficiently… It seemed like it was probably right.
“Where is Mir…”
Now, as I worry about what to do and what to prepare for, I think of an ancient dragon that looks like it has been bitten.
If you think about it, she couldn’t tell her this…
I didn’t even know where they were in the first place… I guess I should say we’ll meet when the time comes… It was really subtle.
Still, I decided to tell him if I ever met him… The moment I was about to leave.
“Uh?!
“Ugh…!”
Suddenly, Yura and Luria wake up at the same time with their eyes wide open.
◆◆◆
A space full of nothingness and light where you can’t even guess where it is.
In a place so vast and quiet that even the smallest sound can spread loudly.
“I finally found it.”
The voice of an old woman slowly echoes.
“Is it just one month?”
The God of Time, standing in front of any object… No… Something so strange and abstract that it could even be called an object, slowly raises his sword.
“This amount of time will be enough, the child will definitely be fully prepared.”
And… The moment I uttered the last word and was about to strike…
“Ah…”
Muttering softly as if he was remembering something he had forgotten.
“If you think about it… Was the time flowing here different from reality?”
“I didn’t think about that and just said I was relaxed…”
He chuckles at her uncharacteristic mistake and hesitates for a moment.
“What should I do about this? If it continues like this, I’m going to feel a little sorry for that child…”
With her goal in front of her, she falls into deep thought for a moment and is a little hesitant due to conflict…
She didn’t last very long.
“Well… I guess it doesn’t matter.”
ㅡ ㅡ ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
Something shatters with a refreshing sound at her merciless blow…
“The threat you are originally prepared for is not even a threat… Rather, this will help you realize what you want.”
If you think about it briefly, it is a fatal lie, but if you dig deeper, the woman smiles at the suffering that is crueler than anything else, but meaningful.
“Just wait, it will probably arrive soon.”
“What you truly want… Feel deeply and awaken to your true feelings of doubt and suffering even about yourself.”
She leaves him unreachable advice and her body gradually becomes blurred.
“And…”
It suggests that the final chapter of a long book has arrived.
“Love you forever, just like those poor girls did to you.”
