Does she go away the home? (6) – unedited

“Erina, are you okay?”

“Your face is horrible, what the hell did you do within the toilet?”

As I emptied my insides and went exterior, Merson and the Emperor rushed at me. The scent hasn’t gone away but, so keep away.

I lowered my head and walked via them aimlessly ahead.

Em. ba. rass. ing.

However it wasn’t Merson who would simply let me go.

“You didn’t hearken to me, Erina.”

“I’ll hearken to you later, later.”

I couldn’t bear to fulfill Merson’s eyes and prevented it. However Merson continued and grabbed my wrist.

“Even for those who curse or hit me, it’s okay. Simply hearken to me.”

“Effectively, I’ll hearken to you later.”

“Can’t you simply take a look at my face for as soon as?”

Merson is confronting me along with his emotions on the inn, however I’m totally different. I, who was affected by sudden poop, simply wished to get away from this place. In addition to, there’s even the Emperor right here overtly, so why are we speaking right here…….

I forgot my disgrace for some time and spoke straight, realizing that Merson wouldn’t quit simply except I spoke decisively. My eyes had been nonetheless on Merson’s stomach button.

“Merson, return to the inn. Don’t take a step ahead till I come to you. That’s all I can say proper now.”

“… When are you coming?”

“Once I can admit that you’re Kayle.”

These phrases had been the reality. I nonetheless don’t assume he was the Kayle of that day, 3 years in the past. I needed to settle for that, and admit that it was not Merson who had misplaced his reminiscence who had been with me for all three years, however the Demon King Kayle of three years in the past.

Earlier than Merson may say extra, I moved my toes first. Then I went again to my room and closed the door. I sat down on the ground holding onto the doorknob.

“I didn’t need us to fulfill once more this quickly or this fashion.”

I don’t know the way he knew I used to be right here, however he got here instantly. DId he have a GPS implanted in my physique? I searched throughout my physique for no motive, however nothing got here out.

In a room nobody visited, I couldn’t even sit correctly, plagued with disgrace and ideas of Merson and paced across the mattress and couch.

Ultimately, a transparent night time got here, and I used to be unable to endure the cramped feeling, so I fastidiously opened the door and went out. The attendants checked out me, however they didn’t cling to me, maybe the Emperor had advised them of it upfront.

I very naturally headed to the lakeside, which I had been to as soon as earlier than. I really feel a bit of higher when the cool breeze brushes my pores and skin.

“Your Majesty.”

The Emperor was gazing on the floor of the star-studded lake like an previous buddy.

“Is your abdomen okay?”

“I barely forgot, thanks for reminding me.”

“It was the primary time I noticed a face that appeared so painful.”

“How are you going to lie once you’ve been via numerous battlefields.”

“The faces of these going through loss of life had been powerlessness, dejection, worry or bravery.”

“It’s as a result of Your Majesty noticed it flawed. Effectively- for those who look, there will need to have been somebody with a worse face than me.”

“That’s proper. I couldn’t seize all of the deaths of those that gave their lives for the nation with my very own eyes.”

I took a seat subsequent to the Emperor and sat down. Then he checked out me. The scent of the water appeared to permeate the wind.

“What’s your relationship with the Demon King?”

It’s apparent when he simply take a look at it and don’t say something.

“Does the Demon King love you?”

“I suppose that’s what it seems like.”

“Your reply is sloppy.”

“There’s nothing I may be certain of.”

Particularly in terms of emotions associated to Merson, I change into extra cautious. Identical to placing up a barrier to guard me from hurting much less if I get harm by Merson later.

“You mentioned that earlier than. Do you actually not belief others and your self like that?”

After dwelling within the desolate Republic of Korea for over 20 years, you begin to suspect taxi drivers, telecommunications firm staff, insurance coverage planners, and even the aged who ask for assist due to quite a few rumors.

However I couldn’t imagine the person I liked with whom I had been collectively for 3 years. Did the Emperor additionally play a task in my turning into like this?

“Then how certain can Your Majesty be about others and about your self?”

“As soon as I went to the battlefield with somebody who has given me their belief, I wouldn’t care what occurred to them.”

“So that you don’t even know what your emotions are…….”

It’s a uncommon speak. It might be good to move it on, however since I’ve already gone via numerous the unlikely issues, I attempted to maintain my phrases in line.

“What emotions do you imply?”

“Your Majesty, you’re utterly inconsistent along with your phrases. You want me, however you solely play dangerous pranks every single day. Proper?”

A technique to get insulted by exalting myself.

“That’s proper. I such as you.”

“Hey, you don’t must be so harsh … what?”

I didn’t catch that.

The Emperor’s straight eyes stare at me with out mendacity.

“I such as you.”

My ideas got here to an emergency cease.

I couldn’t discover something to say, so I checked out him and touched the underside of my nostril with my finger.

“However am I not the Demon King’s companion?”

“Pfft. Aren’t you guessing approach an excessive amount of? You’re critically mistaken. It’s unusual that the phrases “I such as you” are interpreted solely that approach.”

“… Are you teasing me once more?”

“I used to be taking part in with myself.”

He’s actually beating his personal drum. I couldn’t hit the Emperor, so I picked up a stone and threw it roughly into the lake. Drops of water splash and land on my cheeks.

“However aren’t you stunned that I’m the Demon King’s companion?”

“I used to be very stunned at first.”

“Ah, you heard it.”

“He mentioned it first. It’s like a warning that if I contact you, I can be killed.”

“… You’re getting excited alone.”

“At first I used to be excited, then I used to be offended.”

It was a bit sudden. As I tilt my head, the Emperor frowns his head in sophisticated emotions. As if he couldn’t discover the reply himself.

“Why?”

The Emperor didn’t converse straight away. He misunderstood the sentiments he had already felt. Even when requested why he felt that approach, he appeared unable to give you a transparent motive.

“Hmm—!”

The Emperor let loose a protracted, low breath and hesitated for a second earlier than he parted his lips with a barely awkward motion.

“As a result of the lady I gave my coronary heart to loves the Demon King.”

I used to be not stunned as a result of I already knew. I calmly nodded my head, however belatedly realized that my response was flawed. I ought to have mentioned the road ‘What sort of individual are they to like the Demon King?!’ with the ultimate octave on a ‘do re mi’ line .

Fortuitously, nonetheless, the Emperor paid no consideration to my response. No, possibly it’s as a result of he’s so confused that he doesn’t even discover my response.
