141 – Honeymoon? – One
“I’m sure Master will like it. I prepared it with great care. I used minimal magic and made everything by hand?”
Olivia smiled single-single and clung to my arm and moved on. He felt the soft feel of his breasts on his forearm, but to his surprise there was no emotion.
The hilt of the greatsword wrapped in a half-rotten bandage appeared and disappeared from the corner of my field of vision. It was a familiar look, a familiar shape.
My head still hasn’t fully recovered from the shock of Olivia’s ability to recover. The image of the wound recovering like rewinding time continued to circulate in my head.
An ability that is on a different level from ordinary regeneration ability, literally worthy of the modifier super regeneration, and almost identical to the one I have.
I couldn’t understand why Olivia had such a piece of ability.
“Still, I feel a little bit nervous because I think that Master will evaluate my decorating skills. Hehehe. I shouldn’t be nervous. Master is going to like whatever I do anyway. That’s why I feel like I don’t trust Master. Never, never will. Don’t worry, I’m always on Master’s side.”
Olivia chattered incessantly next to me. all ignored I’ve been through a lot in the past to know what Olivia’s ‘decoration’ means.
thought continued. If Olivia’s super-regeneration ability was indeed something almost identical to mine, then there was a good chance she knew the secret to this damn ability as well.
Everything about what the hell put this damn curse on me, and who the hell did it. The slightest chance of finding out was right around the corner.
It was ironic. Someone has struggled for hundreds of years to somehow die, but someone has struggled to gain the same power as me.
Besides, that person was Olivia whom I killed with my own hands.
“It feels like a dream to think that the day will come when I will invite Master to this room again. Last time, I said goodbye to Master while it was still unfinished. Master is the first to enter our newlyweds’ house that was completed like this. Ah, but this is the second time here. “I’m not saying I’m going to bring in a third person. The only people who can enter this house are me and Master. Because this place is reserved for just the two of us. That’s what we have to do.”
Olivia’s slender fingers gently grabbed the doorknob.
On the surface of the door that separates the hallway from the room, there was a heart-shaped ornament attached exactly to my eye level.
The material that made up the heart-shaped ornament was human eyes. Eyes the same color as Olivia, with black pupils.
The dimly opened pupils pointed at me without any distraction. The direction of the pupils changed back and forth to match my movements.
It was as if they were spying on me.
Olivia opened the door with a wide smile and pushed my back into the room. I gently pushed my back and stepped into the room.
“How is it. Master? Do you like it? We decorated it with special care because it is the place where we will live in the future.”
The awful word forever, was added afterward.
I took a good look at the room, which is not large even with empty words. It was only about ten paces wide from end to end of the wall. The furniture placed was also unmatched.
The scenery of the room was grotesque itself.
The thousands of pupils that adorned the walls and ceiling all fixed their eyes on me. Eyes followed me every time I walked into the center of the room.
The feeling of being watched with thousands of eyes at the same time was not very pleasant.
As I inadvertently applied more force to my foot, I felt a tingling sensation. I lowered my eyes. There was something bright red underfoot.
It was not too difficult to guess the identity of the crimson color that was spread like a carpet throughout the room. Yes, just like the human tongue.
Olivia smiled broadly as she looked at me frozen on top of a collection of things that almost covered the floor.
“Oh, as expected, Master recognizes me! It’s my first time making carpet, so I might be a bit inexperienced. How do you like it? I pulled out my tongue. Yes, you like it too? Is that so? Kya, what should I do!”
Was it a real tongue, not similar to a human tongue? Olivia put her hand to her cheek and squealed, blushing. If you take that apart and look at it, it was a girl of my age with no cleverness.
I couldn’t hide my bitter smile. Compared to the past, Olivia hasn’t changed a single thing. From the old days, right after he opened up to me, he had been that kind of a child.
A child who tries to present something made of ‘Olivia’ to me even while using recovery magic on herself.
It was clear that this behavior was also an extension of that character.
Since he said that the tongue on the floor was his, he must have plucked out his own eyes and glued them to the pupils that filled the walls and ceiling.
The all-white bed and closet must have been made of carved bones, and the blanket spread over the bed must have been a blanket made of her own skin, judging by the fact that it was the same color as Olivia’s skin.
The human intestines hung like a curtain on one wall were also pulled out from their own stomachs and hung in clusters.
Really, every little thing like this was the same as the old Olivia.
“Oops, I have to untie what was tied up. I don’t need these hideous things anymore!”
At Olivia’s beckoning, the chains of black mana tied around my neck and wrists were released at once. As her arms became somewhat free, Olivia came closer.
‘It’s hideous?’
I laughed out loud at Olivia’s words that seemed to deny my common sense.
It’s okay to tear yourself apart to decorate your room, and putting a chain around my neck is a monstrous act. It felt like cognitive dissonance was coming.
“Now Master is mine. No one can touch me, and no one can ever meet me. I am completely and completely mine. But how can I tie Master? It’s just getting in the way of me hugging Master!”
Olivia then hugged me tightly. Her hair was buried between her voluptuous breasts. Olivia’s scent rushed into his nostrils without even having to inhale.
Warm warmth was transmitted from the part that touched my body. It seemed that it was not a half-resurrection that came back to life in the form of a corpse.
The greatsword that pierced my heart was right next to my head. The blade was vaguely stained with blood, and the clothes around it were stained with red blood as well.
It was obvious why Olivia would have the greatsword stuck in her heart. Since I inserted it into my heart myself, it must be a gift from me and kept like that. It was an obvious reason.
“ah.”
Pudeuk.
Olivia wanted to hug my neck a little harder, but I heard the sound of bones breaking in my neck. In an instant, my body felt weak and I almost fell to the floor.
But the two arms holding my head wouldn’t allow it. Sleek legs draped over the body that was about to stretch over the carpet.
The recovery ability was activated immediately, and strength was restored in both legs.
It seemed that I couldn’t control the joy from the physical contact, and after that I heard Olivia breaking a bone somewhere in my body three or four more times before I was finally freed.
“Hehe. Master. It’s so good.”
Even though I had deliberately not shown any reaction until now, Olivia still held on to her delighted smile.
It was a resistance of its own, but it seemed to have no meaning.
“Oops, look at my mind. Master must be hungry, but what are you doing by yourself? Master, are you hungry? Right? Shall we eat first? Yes, that’s a good thing. I’m sure Master wants something to eat too. I’m sure.”
Olivia didn’t wait for my answer and headed to the kitchen counter in the corner of the room. It was not a question, but a de facto notice.
Anyway, Olivia knew at least that I had no appetite at all. If you don’t eat it, you won’t die. Attempts to starve to death have been exhausting.
The reason I eat something is simply to enjoy its taste. If it wasn’t for that purpose, it didn’t matter if I didn’t eat food for hundreds of years.
Of course, Olivia would just ignore that.
Standing in front of the all-white countertop, as if made from her own bones, like the bed and dresser, Olivia gestured to start a fire in an awkward spot.
“Umm, what should I treat my master… I don’t know if there were any left over from taking out the eyes and organs last time.”
With the fire in front of her, Olivia opened the black subspace and rummaged through it. At first glance, it looked like he was really thinking about cooking ingredients.
It’s because the ingredients are the eyeballs and intestines that were taken out the other day.
Olivia, who had been rummaging around in the subspace for a while, pulled out her arm with an expression that she had realized something. Then he closed the subspace and looked at me with an expression that he had made a mistake.
“Me too. It’s the first dish I serve Master as a newlywed couple, and I almost used the one I cut in advance. Master would prefer fresh ingredients too. I’m sorry, Master. It’s my mistake.”
Olivia rolled the sleeve of her left arm up to the elbow with an unexpected apology. The white skin underneath the rolled-up shirt was exposed.
“Wait a little. I’ll make it as delicious as possible.”
Then, he put his left arm into the fire and started to burn it.
