Chapter 207 – [Hero] Period (Modified)
I am… What should I have done?
I know that what I said to her hurt her.
Actually… I really thought it was my fault.
Even if she made her mistake, she had a chance to correct it anyway, and I didn’t ignore it.
No, Uni from the beginning…
No, no.
Let’s stop blaming anyone now.
It’s meaningless anyway.
Yuni must have been hurt.
But I couldn’t comfort her.
Rather, what comforted her was her… The man.
Am I not qualified to comfort her Uni?
So she came back
Like this… Was it really a good thing to come back like this?
Even after returning to the room, I was alone in my thoughts.
UNI… UNI…
If on one side of her heart she felt like blaming her, on the other side her masochistic mind, asking with what qualifications should I blame her, welled up at the same time.
Yeah, in the end, isn’t it me who is the problem with everything?
Even though I didn’t have that kind of libido.
I have all my problems.
All, I was wrong.
Even though I thought so, on the other hand, I wanted to resent something else.

“That… No, what are you talking about? It seems a bit keuty.”
“Ugh…”
Sarah looked at me with pitiful eyes.
“Why did you keep looking at it? Why didn’t I just say I’ll give it to you and come?”
“That, that much…”
… Oh, isn’t it?
Is that right… ?
Before I knew it, I fell asleep alone and found out what I was worrying about to Sera, who came to me by chance in a dream.
I’m an enemy, but can I tell you… I thought about it, but my mind was not talking beyond that, so I confided everything as she gently coaxed her.
Me too… Pathetic.
“What… Still, it’s not bad if you’re thinking of breaking up at all. The wound was completely dug up.”
“Ugh, I-I thought so…”
I didn’t…
“Whoops, no one would think that.”
“Uh, uh…”
What to do
Disappointment… Did you want to
“Yeah, I guess there’s no hope anymore, right?”
“No, why are you doing this pathetically again? Well, why don’t you just forget about the woman who made excuses for you like that?”
… Maybe the speaker himself should have a little bit of a stabbing corner.
But she was confident.
“Ha…”
“What if I regret it here? If you really don’t like it, why don’t you just get up and get it back?”
But even then, I was a little hesitant.
It’s okay to go back… Is it
In the end, I woke up with a rare experience of being comforted by the enemy in my dream.
But what did Sera come to see me for?
In terms of time, it wasn’t long before we had a conversation in a space that looked like that church.
… I don’t know how far, but it was a strange feeling anyway.
Opening her eyes, I naturally groped for Yuni’s seat, and suddenly felt chills down my spine when I realized she was gone.
Still… Didn’t you come back?
Maybe even this time?
I hurriedly rushed out of the room, but I hesitated for a moment in front of their door.
The door was closed, and no sound could be heard from inside.
… But you can’t be at ease.
I can’t hear it, but I don’t know what’s going on.
Should I open it?
When I open it and run into Uni, I… What should I say?
Sigh.
However, as I pondered for a while, the door opened on its own from the other side.
“… Mr. Eric?”
“Scale…”
No one was reflected in the space behind her.
“Whoops… I guess you came here because you were worried?”
“Yu, Yuni… ?”
“Huh? Aha…”
She laughed without answering.
“Yu, where is Yuni…”
“Didn’t you just leave and go back? Do you still have any regrets after coming back?”
“Wow, what are you talking about? I am… I’m like that…”
“Yuni gave up on you.”
Ugh…
At those words, my body froze.
“I’m sorry I can’t go back.”
“What… Called?”
“Please don’t look for me in the future.”
“UNI…”
Seeing my expression, she giggled for a moment and then tapped my shoulder.
“Just joke. Did you really think that would happen?”
“Eww… Hey, don’t joke like that.”
Okay… No matter how much Uni does, she can’t do that.
“Um… Sorry, the joke was a bit harsh. Yuni is with Ertina. He must be in the middle of training right now.”
Even if she thought she was too harsh, she apologized and told her where she was.
“… Okay.”
“Little… It must be a complicated feeling. To be honest, Uni didn’t do anything well, but… Isn’t that what emotions are supposed to be like?”
I, who answered her silently to her who gave her a bit of advice, perhaps in exchange for her apologetic feelings, went down her hallway… I paused.
Is it really the right choice to visit now?
I am… What face should I look at Yuni?
“I think you both need some time to organize your thoughts. It will come up again around evening anyway, so please cool your head for a while.”
“…”
I felt a bit repulsed to follow Arin’s advice, but it’s true that I was uncomfortable seeing Uni’s face right now, so I eventually returned to my room.
Yuni is with Ertina…
It’s obviously not in perfect condition.
There was no way Ertina would not notice that fact. What is she talking about with Uni?
For a while, she thought about using the spirits.
No, since I haven’t been trained anyway, I can’t even use spirits in a place like this, and even if I can, Uni will expose everything.
Let’s not stimulate her more for nothing.
I first spent her time trying to figure out what to say until she returned.
When you come in… What should I say?
***
After a long time that seemed to have multiplied, she finally returned.
From the moment I heard footsteps in front of the room, I knew Uni was back.
Bubbly.
The footsteps that had been walking right in front of the room were already muting in front of the door.
All that comes back is silence.
Uni and I were both holding our breath with the door between us.
Uni did not open the door right away.
Should I open it?
But… Wouldn’t she be embarrassed if I opened it?
I hesitated in front of the doorknob, but when I mustered up the courage to reach out, the door opened with a bang.
“Ah…”
“Oh.”
We looked down at each other’s hands, then raised our heads and looked at each other.
“Oh…”
“Ugh…”
An even greater awkwardness than usual came over us.
“… I’m here.”
“Oh, come on.”
Since she first brought her up in a normal way, I also answered out of habit.
Yuni hesitantly entered her room, as if she were in someone else’s room rather than her own.
I slipped her away and she sat down next to me.
It was farther away than usual.
“… Eric.”
After a long silence, she opened her mouth.
“Sorry!”
“M-I’m sorry.”
We apologized at the same time.
“… Why is Eric apologizing?”
“Uni doesn’t need to apologize…”
The words overlapped again.
We stared at each other blankly for a while, then burst into laughter.
With the sound of wind escaping, the awkwardness between us slowly flowed out like a pot with a hole in it.
“It’s not Eric’s job to apologize. I… Because I was just using Eric as an excuse.”
“No. I, I knew… Still, I couldn’t stop it.”
“You knew it too.”
I was taken aback by Yuni’s words, but I nodded.
“… Actually I knew Because I got tea…”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
That’s what she showed off to me, that’s why.
I already knew it, but hearing it through her mouth again felt different.
Yuni looked at me.
“Huh. Because then Eric liked it more.”
“…”
Is it also the result of my distorted taste?
One side of the chest is uncomfortable.
What is this complicated feeling…
“Don’t blame yourself, Eric. That… Wasn’t that unavoidable? That’s because I like Eric… It doesn’t have incense.”
I was really puzzled.
Since when did I have this taste?
Since you were born?
Apparently it wasn’t like this at first, but… Maybe I wasn’t aware of it at the time.
“Hey, Eric… So…”
She hesitated and got her words out.
“… What should I do?”
Yuni was looking at me with a troubled face.
It’s late, but should I end my relationship with him now, or should I continue this situation?
She was asking me
I couldn’t answer easily.
Of course, I had to tell him to stop, but I couldn’t get my mouth shut.
Instead of answering right away, Yuni looked at my worried look and slightly lowered her head.
“… Sorry. It is not a matter for others to decide for you.”
Her words sounded a bit unsettling.
Yuni wasn’t wrong when she said that since it was her own business, she had to decide for herself, but…
What is it?
We are… Aren’t you a lover
“Yeah, Eric.”
“Huh…”
“That person… He did well.”
My hand trembled.
“Better than Eric… I felt better when I was with him.”
“…”
Uni’s gaze was not on my face, but on the bottom.
Did you want to check my reaction?
After checking the reaction of her lower body, Uni looked up at me.
It was a slightly sad face.
“Yeah, I think I know.”
“… What?”
“Why do they… Do you serve that man?”
“Oh…”
Yuni looked at me with her calm eyes.
However, the emotions contained in it never calmed down.
“Eric.”
She spoke her sternly, like someone who was prepared for something of her own.
This too…
“We…”
Can I listen to this?
Suddenly, the thought came to me.
How about just doing it here?
I told her not to do it in the future, pretended to forget everything, and grabbed her again…
“Let’s just stop here.”
She raised her hands to my crying face.
“I won’t use Eric as an excuse anymore.”
“UNI…”
She wiped my eyes and pulled my hair to her chest.
“Then forget me. Because it hurts my heart… I’m really sorry.”
UNI…
Her fault… My fault… Something else wrong.
Thoughts were complicated, but there was nothing I could say.
“Eric…”
As she said that, she put her own cheek on top of my head.
“… Thank you for that time.”
That’s how our relationship came to an end.
***
“Uni, you too… Are you trying to be like them?”
“Slave… Are you talking No, I don’t want to.”
Yuni honestly said so.
“It’s just that my relationship with Eric went back to how it was before. I can’t remain your lover in this state.”
“UNI…”
Just quit being in a romantic relationship with me, she said.
Now, the two of us have become simple party members.
Not a lover or anything, just a party member.
But to say that you’re no longer my lover…
She is the man’s lover… It was also said that there was no reason why she or she could not be a slave.
“Then… Starting tomorrow, I will use another room.”
“… Huh.”
Slowly, our journey was approaching its end.
Soon… The end is coming.
