Chapter 127 – [Hero] The Streets of Red and Black Flowers
I woke up feeling more refreshed than usual.
One of the causes that had been bothering me for so long had disappeared.
Arin’s Secret!
It’s still shocking, but still, as much as she confided her secret to me, the two of us got closer.
When I went out of the tent with a fresh mind, Arin was poking the extinguished ember with a branch.
“Arin, hello.”
“Ah… ! Ah, ah, hello, hero…”
Arin was startled by her and slammed her butt.
“Oh, sorry… Were you surprised?”
“Oh, no.”
As Arin said that, she looked at me with anxious eyes.
What?
“What’s the matter?”
“… Hero, maybe that… On the arm…”
“Eight?”
I looked at it to see if there was something on it, but the clothes were clean.
“Oh, no…”
I approached her as she looked down at her and gave her sullen expression.
“Scale. You decided not to hide anything now.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
But why are you trying to hide something like this?
I’ve had a lot of anxiety lately, but please don’t make people anxious like this.
“Tell me.”
“That…”
“Hi! Oh, is Eric already awake?”
Yuni popped her head out and shook her hand.
I was a little taken aback by her sudden appearance, but since Yuni was always like that, I shook her hand.
“Yes, bye…”
“I will tell you later, hero.”
Arin got up and avoided her seat, perhaps because her mood was broken.
Oh my gosh, the timing is so twisted.
“Huh? Where?”
“Mmm, my head is a little messed up… I’ll come clean.”
Her hair was already tidy, but she said that and left her seat.
Yuni must have thought similarly to her.
“Uni, is Seria still sleeping?”
“Huh. I had a very hard time sleeping. Shall I wake you up?”
“No, I’ll prepare breakfast and wake you up.”
After all, if you have Uni, preparing a meal is not that difficult.
Fire? You can smoke it with a spirit.
Water? As a spirit, you can find the location of water anywhere.
An all-round job that allows you to eat anytime, anywhere with just the ingredients!
I really don’t know how other people travel without Elementalists…
We chatted and prepared breakfast.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of water left, so I didn’t have to fill it up, and maybe thanks to Yuni’s interesting story, my anxiety went away a little.
They woke up around the time the morning was complete, and Arin, who had returned late, gathered together to have breakfast, and we set off again.
Finally, the elven city was approaching.
***
Ra-den lived up to its nickname of an elven city, and the guards were elves.
I heard that the place where elves who lived only in the forest gathered to interact with humans and other races became a village and even a city.
Because of its unique character, the city had no concept of a lord.
To put it bluntly, the overseer dispatched by the head of the elves took on the same role as the lord.
“What?”
“Uh… I came to find a person called the Sleeping Princess.”
To those of us who asked about the purpose, I directly asked about the sleeping princess.
It was in the hope that if you were an elf, you would know something.
“Who is that?”
However, the guards did not know about this.
Instead, they hinted that the Librarian might know about it.
As the librarian…
The concept of a library is a bit unfamiliar to me, but Arin and Seria seem to know it well.
“Then let’s unpack our things at the dorm and go to the library.”
I nodded at Seria’s words.
Arin also glanced at her, wondering if she would say anything, but remained silent.
“What’s the matter?”
“Uh? Ah… No.”
Seria asked if she had seen my gaze return.
She hurriedly turned her head and denied it was nothing, and Seria giggled.
“Okay, let’s go in quickly. Because I want to rest.”
I felt like she was teasing me for some reason, but it was as she said, so we first got the lodging.
I thought the culture would be different because it was an elven city, but maybe it was because there were a lot of humans living there, so there wasn’t much difference.
“Then shall we go to the library first?”
Following Seria’s words, we all unpacked and went straight to the library.
There were a few people sitting in the library who looked like scholars, but none seemed as far removed from books as we did.
For some reason, I feel slightly intimidated by the academic atmosphere.
It wasn’t easy to meet the Librarian, but luckily he was able to meet him right away after revealing that he was a hero.
“Um… A sleeping princess.”
The elderly elf grandfather adjusted his glasses and began to think.
“I don’t know.”
Does it happen like this too?
It wasn’t too disappointing as I expected it to some extent.
Yeah, well, when has things ever worked out?
Eventually, we’ll have to run and find it ourselves.
Seeing me sighing heavily, he gave me at least some good news.
“It sounds like an old legend, but there are many books in the library dealing with it, so look it up. It might be written somewhere.”
Good news… Will you win?
It’s a pity to go back like this, so we decided to explore the library for a while as he advised.
[Genealogy of Elf royalty]
I fumbled through the title, pulled it out, and checked the contents.
Since she was a princess, she might be royalty.
[… The third son of… Married the second daughter of… ]
After looking at it for a while, I put the book back in its original place.
I’m still not good at reading, but I can’t read hard text like this at all.
I went inside for a slightly easier book.
“Ah, warrior…”
“Scale.”
Arin was right behind him.
I didn’t know it was there even though it was right across from the bookshelf.
She looked at me and slightly turned her head.
Reminded of what happened in the morning, I grabbed Arin’s hand to prevent him from running away and asked again.
“Arin, tell me. Why are you so worried?”
“Yo, warrior… Cow, hand…”
Arin was embarrassed and tried to slip away, but as I held on tight, she eventually started to brush it off.
“… Warrior. Could you show me your arm?”
“Eight?”
Without much thought, I stretched out my arm to Arin and she shook her head.
“On the other side.”
The other side…
“Is it because of the pattern?”
“… Yes.”
After thinking about it for a moment, Arin carefully raised her left arm.
Large flowers, medium flowers, small flowers.
Arin silently rubbed the medium-sized flower.
“This… That’s me.”
“How did you know?”
“It just seemed so.”
Saying that, Arin’s face looked sad.
“Why do you think this has become smaller, Hero?”
“Well…”
I don’t know for sure.
So I didn’t do anything suspicious.
Many of the doubts I had, all of them groundless.
No need to believe
“Did this bother you?”
“…”
Arin didn’t answer.
However, that action is no different from consent after all, I said with a slight smile.
“Are you okay. This… You don’t even know what it is yet. I don’t want to suspect anyone or anything of this uncertainty.”
“Warrior…”
“Then don’t mind this.”
Arin looked at me with a crying face.
I turned around without hearing her answer.
Let’s go to another bookshelf.
Arin will look for it here, so it would definitely be more efficient for me to find the other side.
“Hero!”
Arin caught me again as I was getting farther away.
“I, my body… Would you like to see… ?”
After hearing her words, I misunderstood at first.
I thought it was a request related to the wall of Arin.
I’m sure everyone thought that, but after listening to it a little more, it was my mistake.
She asked for a look at the patterns on her own body.
Sareuk, sareuk.
I keep hearing the sound of clothes brushing behind me.
But do you really need to take off your clothes for this one?
If it was a clergyman’s uniform in the past, I could understand that the shoulders couldn’t be lifted, but the current clothes are cut up to the chest, so I think you can see it if you lower it slightly to the side.
Arin insisted on doing this, so I didn’t have much to say.
What… It must have something to do with her own taste.
Tok.
Something fell, and there was a moment of silence.
“Even if you look back… Can.”
I grabbed my pounding heart and slowly turned around, revealing a pure white naked body through the dark library.
The chest exposed in front of the man and the pussy beneath it were completely exposed, unobstructed by anything.
Arin put her hands behind her back and twisted her body slightly as if embarrassed, she said.
“Now, take a closer look…”
“I-I really… Is it necessary to do this?”
I glanced around.
Although there are bookshelves covering us on both sides, this is not an enclosed space.
There are gaps between the bookshelves, and people can pass through the passage behind me at any time.
In other words, anyone other than us would have the possibility to see Arin.
“Okay, it’s okay. No matter who… Because the hero will protect you…”
I slowly nodded her head as I nailed my gaze to her chest.
No, not her breasts.
Let’s not turn our gaze to the wrong place.
I forcibly took my eyes off her and raised my gaze to her shoulder.
“More… You can come closer.”
I took her two steps towards her.
A red rose was engraved on her shoulder, as usual.
But as she took two steps closer, the rose turned black.
“… Has the color changed?”
“Yes…”
If the last time it had a strong color that caught the eye, the current rose had a muddy feeling like muddy water.
“Since when have you been like this?”
“… It was after I realized I liked this.”
I inadvertently put my hand up and touched her shoulder.
“Huh!”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“Okay, it’s okay. More… You can touch me.”
Hearing her words, I felt a rush of blood to her head.
No, you can touch it…
No, of course I’m talking about the shoulder.
I tapped her rose.
Of course, the texture was not different from normal skin.
But for some reason, the current situation was the situation, and that alone gave me an erection.
“Haha…”
Arin exhaled sharply and looked at me with excited eyes.
“No, just by touching… Can you?”
“Then… ?”
“As much as you want… Do your research.”
Arin’s words seemed to touch something on me.
I got close enough to her, observing her pattern right in front of her nose.
Petals with black tips.
It got dirty
Originally… It was so clean
“Hey!”
Arin was taken aback by the unexpected feeling.
“Yo, hero?”
I didn’t respond to her words and put her mouth on the petals.
As I lightly touched her petals with my tongue, Arin flinched.
“I-I didn’t ask for something like this… Hehe… !”
I could see her hands wandering the air around her, not knowing what to do.
I forcefully sucked her shoulder.
As if sucking out blackened dirt.
“Huh… ! Yo, you’re a warrior…”
Arin seemed surprised by my unexpected behavior, but as she says she likes being hit and shown, her body quickly heated up and she gently hugged my head.
“Hahm… Uh…”
Her arms wrapped around my head, and I licked and sucked her shoulders.
I don’t even know why I’m doing this.
I just wanted to erase the traces.
Traces of dirt.
The narrow space between the bookshelf and the bookshelf.
In the meantime, we stuck to each other as much as the distance between books.
In such a space where time seems to have stopped, something else suddenly intervened.
“Eric, are you there?”
“Sigh… !”
Arin was startled and heard her gasping for breath.
Uni was looking for me right across the bookshelf.
“Huh? What a noise… Are you Eric?”
“Yo. This… Warrior… !”
Arin whispered so softly that she couldn’t hear her.
“Eric?”
“Yo, hero!”
But I didn’t part my lips.
“Eww… Yu, uni! It’s me! I-I have it!”
“What is it, Arin?”
Yuni said in a voice of regret, and as she said that, she walked away.
No, she seemed to walk away, then came back.
“Do you know where Eric is?”
“Ah, that, that… Bar, you’re on the other side… Wouldn’t it?”
Arin was relieved, but she was startled and stuttered her words.
“On the other side… You mean? Okay. Thank you.”
Trudge.
Uni’s footsteps were farther away.
“Whew… Yo, hero, stop now!”
With her bright red face, Arin pushed me away.
She glanced at me as she rubbed her reddened clavicle with her pressure.
“Hmm… Mi-sorry.”
I also came to my senses around that time and felt very ashamed.
My, what have I done?
It seems that Arin’s eyes are slightly moist.
Also… Were you very shy?
“Yu, Uni almost saw it… !”
“M-I’m sorry… I must have gone out of my mind for a second.”
I also didn’t know why I did it, so I had nothing to say.
I just wanted to do it as if I was possessed.
I was ashamed and embarrassed for nothing and scratched my head.
“… Oh, I’ll be careful in the future. I’m really sorry.”
Arin, who was putting on her clothes, paused for a moment at those words, then spoke in a crawling voice.
“Ah, even if you don’t… Can.”
“Huh?”
As Arin put on her clothes, she said the same.
And 5 minutes later, we came out of the bookshelf with bright red faces.
