161 – Collar
The delicious rice balls made me feel good. When I suggested that Luna walk around the island to help digest her food, she held my hand with a happy smile as always.
As I watched without walking, Luna looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Why?”
“… You don’t know how to say no, do you?”
Looking back at her memories, there was no memory of being disappointed when she was rejected by Luna. So she asked, just in case.
Luna tilted her head with a pretty smile at my words.
“Would you like me to say no?”
“No, that’s not it. I want to be with you.”
At my worry-free answer, Luna lightly leaned against me with a happy expression.
“Yes. That’s why I didn’t refuse. I feel the same way as Ross.”
And then he said.
“And Ross never turned down my offer?”
I see. I had never really thought about that. Come to think of it, I also liked being with Luna, so I couldn’t even think of rejecting it.
“… I’m weak to pretty girls Especially with such a cute girl.”
She raised her hand and pressed it firmly against Luna’s soft cheek, and Luna narrowed her eyes.
“I heard that you are weak even to other women?”
I tried to answer, “It can’t be that way,” But I suddenly thought of Navie.
Will Luna be disappointed? She put off explaining, but until now she hasn’t revealed to Luna what happened with Navier.

Now that Arya has ears, she heads to the island beyond her closet.
It felt a bit muggy as the summer heat hadn’t gone away yet, but thanks to the gentle sea breeze, the weather was fine for a walk.
Walking along the beach, I explained in detail what had happened with Navier during the vacation.
She became a disciple of Lycan, and she also told Raelan about the condition that she should go on a date once a month in exchange for learning the intangible of her main family.

Noticing that the hands I was holding were stronger than before, I hurriedly explained.
“Only the name is a date. Just think of it as having dinner with Navie with her crew.”
With that excuse, Luna stopped her steps and turned her head to her. She’s definitely smiling, but I don’t feel like she’s laughing.
“But you might think Nabi is a date.”
It wasn’t his usual soft voice, but rather a cold one. I was scratching my head from needless tension.
“No, even butterflies know. When she was proposed to by Raellan, she turned it down. I have already stated that I love you and want to be with you for the rest of my life.”
“… Really?”
I eagerly nodded to Luna, who looked at me with her slightly suspicious eyes.
“Of course not. The reason why I want to be strong in the first place is because I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I can’t be without you.”
Saying that, I brought her face closer and kissed her lips with a smile as she closed her eyes pretending to win.
“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. Because you are the most important to me.”
“… If you say that, you won’t be able to refuse.”
I scratched my forehead at Luna’s words. If I were in Luna’s shoes, she’d honestly be dumbfounded.
“Sorry. That was not my intention.”
After she apologized sincerely, Luna glared at me and burrowed into my arms.
I heard Luna muttering as she buried her face in my chest.
“Of course I believe what Ross said, but I am still jealous.”
I opened her arms and hugged her Luna tightly.
“I would have been a little sad if I hadn’t.”
Luna, who lightly pinched her side, lifted her buried face.
When she met her gaze, her eyes reddened.
She felt a strange mixture of guilt and joy.
Luna, who was looking at me and pursed her lips, murmured softly.
“… Ross is mine.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at that lovely figure.
“Yes, I am yours forever. I can promise you. I have already sworn.”
After saying that, Luna cutely pouted her lips.
“Because Ross has a lot of charm, she might get the attention of another woman without even intending to.”
“… Do you really love me?”
She made a joke as if to blame herself, but unexpectedly, Luna looked at me with a serious expression. I sincerely think so.
In a feeling of embarrassment, I smiled, tilted my head slightly, then lowered it again, meeting a worried gaze.
“Don’t worry. Because the only person in this world who recognizes my charm is Luna. She doesn’t show it to anyone else.”
Saying that, I secretly placed her mouth on Luna’s pure white nape.
As she slightly stuck out her tongue and licked it, Luna felt her body twitch.
“Liver tickles… !”
Only then did Luna’s worry disappear from her eyes.
“… Ross, smirk.”
“Is that also one of my charms?”
At her shameless question, Luna blushed and avoided her gaze.
I didn’t expect this reaction. I finally burst out laughing.
I walked with Luna again holding her hand, telling her unfinished story.
When she finished her explanation of her lighthouse, Luna had tears in her eyes as if she were about to cry.
After walking silently for a while, Luna spoke in a small voice.
“… I’m glad Ross wasn’t hurt though.”
I inadvertently stopped walking.
I didn’t even think that Luna would be worried about such a thing.
A strange feeling tickled her chest.
“Thank you for saying that. I’ll be careful in the future.”
As if she was happy to say that, Luna nodded her head with her pretty smile.
After the walk, we returned home and sat down on the sofa to rest. When water containing cool barley tea was served, Luna drank it gratefully.
As I was measuring my timing, I took out Shin’s fountain pen from the space storage.
“I have something for you.”
“Huh?”
I placed a fountain pen in Luna’s hand as she tilted her head cutely.
“It’s a god’s fountain pen I got from the temple.”
Luna’s eyes got bigger than usual. Luna, who looked at me and her fountain pen with a puzzled expression, shook her head.
“I-I can’t take this. That’s what Ross needs.”
“Yes, I need it. So i give it to you Because you are the person I need.”
Seeing Luna licking her lips with a puzzled expression, I continued talking.
“I told you before. I will find a way to grow all the members. I prepared this for you from the beginning.”
Because Luna was my lover, it wasn’t a priority. Luna was the only one who could use God’s fountain pen most effectively.
“I’m sorry that you seem to only receive from Ross….”
I wondered if he was serious, so he looked at Luna. Seeing her watery eyes, I hugged Luna with a sigh.
“Without you, I would have collapsed without doing anything.”
A faint sob sounded from within. He stroked the concave back of Luna’s hair and continued her words.
“You support me, you guide me when I am lost and wandering. It makes me feel so happy.”
“Me, me too to Ross… Hang, thank you always….”
At Luna’s watery voice, I gently brushed her back.
“The love I received from you is priceless. So I can’t pay back as much as I received. So you should ask for more. Because it’s not enough, please love me more.”
Hugging my body, Luna lifted her head and met her gaze. Her tears rolled down her cheeks. Her flushed lips were alluring today.
“… I can price it The love I received will always be better than the one Ross received.”
Unable to resist the urge, I pulled Luna’s chin and kissed her on the lips.
Her lips felt warmer and softer than usual.
I was taken aback at first, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I focused on the kiss.
When we got farther apart from each other, I raised my hand and wiped away the tears and spoke with sincerity.
“Did I tell you? I fall for you again every time.”
“… I guess I didn’t say anything. You may not even remember today, so tell me every time.”
Looking at Luna’s cute pampering, I asked with a laugh that made the clown hurt.
“What the hell did you do during vacation to become so lovable?”
At my words, Luna put on a satisfied expression.
“I worked hard. I don’t want to lose Ross to anyone.”
“I was worried for nothing. I am already fascinated by you.”
I raised Luna’s hand, which was holding onto my waist, onto my shoulder. Luna, holding her by the nape of my neck, said with a smile.
“Right, this is Ross’ leash.”
We laughed and sat on the sofa in the same posture. Luna, who climbed onto her lap, stroked her fountain pen as if it were precious.
“I got it from Ross, so I will cherish it.”
“It’s an item whose power changes depending on the user’s effort. If it’s Luna, you’ll be able to use it well.”
With Luna’s diligence, who is the only one in her club room to review her classes after school, it’s only a matter of time before she can freely handle her god’s fountain pen.
“Yes. I’ll try! It will definitely help Ross.”
“It’s enough for now, so don’t feel pressured.”
With that said, Luna burrowed into my arms like a puppy.
“I really like it. Loss.”
Warm warmth penetrated her chest.
