I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

100. What Happened Beyond the Wall (4)

1.

What should I say?

It was more like a decision had been made.

Before I arrived, I just felt lethargic, as if all my strength had been drained from my body. Of course, I didn’t mean it in a good way.

It’s like the feeling of being tired after sweating a lot and washing up and then lying down to rest, and the feeling of having a lot to do but having no energy or strength in your body and not wanting to do anything and just wanting to throw it all away.

I thought that the latter would be a more appropriate comparison.

“Ugh… I, I just….”

“all right.”

It was a strange feeling.

Although it was annoying to see a dragon with shining eyes as if it was watching something amazing, I sighed and gently patted Sylphia on the back.

It was a strange feeling to see a grown man crying in my arms like a child. In fact, the area around my shoulder where Sylphia was burying her face was getting hot and wet.

It would be strange to try to comfort and soothe them and tell them to stop crying, and you can’t yell at someone who is crying to stop crying.

All I could do was just pat her on the back and comfort her.

After a while, Sylphia, whose eyes were slightly swollen from crying, raised her head.

Watery eyes.

This kind of awkward atmosphere is out of the question.

Ugh, I can’t help it.

“……Sylphia.”

“yes…….”

“Close your eyes.”

“yes?”

Since I had somewhat prepared myself mentally and made up my mind, I wasn’t swept away by the atmosphere.

In fact, would you have ever thought that this would happen even thirty minutes ago?

I thought about it inwardly, but I thought, this is not it. Thirty minutes ago, I would have been bowing my head as if I was carrying all the darkness of the world on my shoulders, and I would have been mechanically beating up the monsters that appeared. How could I have predicted that this would happen?

“……!”

The moment their lips touched, Sylphia’s eyes widened.

I’m sure he told me to close my eyes.

I also wanted to decline the first kiss in an awkward situation with my eyes open, but fortunately, Sylphia was considerate of me and I was surprised and quickly closed my eyes again.

‘… … This is a bit awkward.’

It was awkward because it was my first kiss. If you count the kisses that ended with a lip smack, it wasn’t strictly my first kiss, but I never dreamed that I would take the initiative like this.

side.

I felt the soft touch of her lips along with a cute sound. I don’t think she sprayed perfume, but I could sense a sweet scent that reminded me of the scent of roses.

Both Sylphia and I were incredibly clumsy.

Whenever I opened my eyes that I had closed occasionally, as if it were some twist of fate, my eyes would meet with Sylphia’s, who was carefully opening her eyes, and they would both hurriedly close their eyes several times.

“……Ugh, ugh.”

The faint moans that came out from time to time as he was out of breath tickled his ear as if he was whispering something in his ear. He enjoyed the soft sensation of his lips touching his, and the process of sucking his tongue into his lips continued until his breath reached the tip of his chin.

After a long time of tongues intertwining and exchanging saliva, the act ended.

“…….”

Just as a baby bird opens its mouth to receive the food given by its mother, after the first kiss that I had been leading for a long time, Sylphia looked at me silently. Her flushed face and the strange air around her. Before the afterglow could completely fade away in the situation where a strange pink current was flowing.

A thunderous applause was heard.

Both Sylphia and I flinched as we turned around to see that annoying dragon clapping its hands.

“I didn’t know we’d get to see such a nice sight, but why don’t you two finish your acts of affection somewhere else? Especially that… something that’s hard to explain in words. My lair isn’t an inn.”

“I didn’t mean to do that?!”

As soon as Sylphia got angry and shouted, Abel pretended to cover his ears and waved his hand as if he understood.

“I get it, I get it. I was wondering how much you could live without dying, but I understand that Sylphia’s boyfriend is very cute and handsome by human standards. But please consider my position as I have no intention of stealing him, and I certainly have no intention of spying on you two making out.”

“This, this, this!”

Whether it was out of anger or shame, Silphia lost her ability to speak for a moment and let out a strange sound with her face turned pale.

I just found this situation funny and laughed, but it seemed that Sylphia, the person involved, didn’t think so.

Sylphia glared at Abel as if she was going to kill him, as he was now waving his hand and telling her to leave quickly, even though he was always peeking at her as if it was interesting.

Well, I’m not sure if it’s something to be that embarrassed about.

“…Why are the two of them coming out together?”

Eileen muttered with a blank expression.

Clearly, when they left, there was only one Ludrick, but when they returned, there were two, including Sylphia. Even if we leave aside the fact that Sylphia, who should have been in the capital, suddenly appeared in the far north, beyond this barrier, it is second nature.

Sylphia’s blank expression was truly unsightly to look at.

In fact, Sylphia was still reeling from the afterglow of her first kiss just a moment ago. At least, this was the first time she had experienced something like this before and after her return. If she closed her eyes and recalled it, it was a precious memory that made her feel as if electricity was flowing through her whole body, and it was a feeling of ecstasy. It was a memory that she wouldn’t mind recalling over and over again.

However, the problem was that because it was such an ecstatic memory, the emotion naturally showed through his facial expression. That was also the reason why Eileen, who was looking at his blank expression, began to feel inexplicably angry.

Anyway, Ludrick suddenly flew away on his own, saying something seemed to have happened, and when he came back, he was with Sylphia by his side.

And looking at Sylphia’s expression, Eileen intuitively realized that something had happened between them.

A woman’s intuition is sharp, and Eileen narrowed her eyes as she caught on like a ghost that something had actually happened between the two.

“Have you been waiting long? Eileen.”

“……I didn’t wait that long. It’s just that, next to you───”

“lol.”

Sylphia shook her head, holding her blushing cheek with her hand, wondering what she was imagining.

Eileen, her expression crumpled, muttered with a trembling face.

“You’ve been staying home all this time, so why did you come back after eating something bad─── Oops, I spoke a little harshly.”

Eileen, who was about to speak her mind without any restraint, cleared her throat and then, just as she was about to find her voice again and say something, her movements suddenly stopped.

“……huh?”

“Huh? Why is that?”

“There’s hair stuck.”

As if to bid him come closer, Eileen reached out and pulled away a strand of hair stuck to Ludrick’s robe. She looked at the hair closely, then frowned.

“……It’s red.”

It was red hair that stood out. If you think about it, it was just a single strand of hair attached to the robe, but Eileen, who had a keen eye, was able to catch it without missing it.

And there’s only one person around here with such fiery red hair.

Naturally, Eileen’s gaze turned to Sylphia, who was still wandering. The color was so perfectly identical that anyone who saw it would have to admit that it was Sylphia’s.

Sniff sniff.

And then, Eileen, who had been sniffing, naturally approached Ludrick and sniffed him.

“……Ludrick.”

“yes?”

“You smell like a stranger. Coincidentally, I think you’re around.”

Gooo.

If it was a cartoon, I think I would have heard that kind of sound effect. Although Eileen’s expression is usually expressionless, it becomes more expressive when she is with Ludrick. Even the knights of the duchy who have been accompanying Eileen for over ten years showed expressions that they had never seen before, so that goes without saying.

But now, Eileen’s expression had gone beyond her usual expressionless expression and was becoming cold and hard.

“……That’s right. Why does it smell like that? It’s strange.”

“If there’s nothing wrong with my sense of smell, you smell exactly like Baroness Silphia Andres.”

When Eileen said Sylphia’s full name, she emphasized each syllable as if she was chewing on it.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped by several dozen degrees.

It wasn’t a mistake. When Eileen, who was born and raised in the North, decided to unleash her magic, the magic within her body seemed to expand a kind of territory, lowering the temperature around her and even causing ice to form on the ground.

And Ludrick, who had nothing to hide but was still a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly.

‘… What the hell is that? How can you handle that?’

I did think that way though.

For almost ten minutes, I held Sylphia tightly and patted her on the back, trying to comfort her as she started to cry like a little child. And then, after that, because of the mood and my determination, I continued with my first kiss, which I did not know how to do.

Thinking back, it was a haphazard and hasty process with no mood, but we were together for almost twenty minutes, so it was enough time for the smell to dissipate.

However, if he suddenly replied to Eileen here by saying, “Well, I kissed Sylphia, right?”, there was no telling what would happen, so Ludrick tried to cover it up by laughing awkwardly.

Shh.

Sylphia opened her mouth, the corners of her lips strangely going up.

“It can’t be helped.”

“……what?”

“You were kissing Ludrick just a moment ago? Very passionately. You call it a grown-up kiss, right?”

It was a clear provocation.

And for a moment, Eileen froze, doubting her own ears, and then her expression suddenly distorted.

The surrounding area was already in the middle of a mountain range beyond the barrier where a cold, sharp wind was blowing, but I thought for sure the temperature would not drop any further.

The temperature around him was dropping so rapidly that Ludrick absentmindedly pulled the collar of his robe tighter.
