I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

119. Not the end, but the beginning (1)

1.

“Phew…….”

Eileen Nord.

Her ebony-black, glossy hair, which had just come out of the shower, was still damp. Her hair was long enough to almost reach her waist, and even with a hot air blower, it couldn’t be dried quickly.

Not only the silky hair, but also the skin of the face, with its distinct features and sharp nose, was moist and hydrated.

And, Eileen, who had just washed up, was pondering the biggest dilemma of her life while placing various types of underwear on the bed one by one. The sigh she let out just now was also because the solution to this dilemma did not seem easy to find.

Eileen muttered as she picked up a cute pair of frilly underwear.

“I guess it might be better to do it this way. Anyway, it feels different from usual, so it’s a bit of a surprise charm, something like that…”

Eileen, who had been mumbling, soon imagined herself wearing the underwear she was holding in her hand.

Then, she frowned and put her underwear back down.

“…It’s horrible.”

The cute white underwear with frills was a no-no. She imagined it for a moment, but even she couldn’t bring herself to think about it, because it didn’t match her usual image at all.

Other people might think that since the hangers are nice, whatever they wear will look good, but for Eileen, who was going through the biggest dilemma in her not-so-long life, it was more important than anything else.

And the origin of all these worries is none other than Ludrick.

“It’s so easy for a man to say he’s going to stay out all night….”

Eileen, whose face turned red from embarrassment just thinking about it, felt something warm and hurriedly covered her face with her hand. The liquid that wet her covered hand and the pungent scent of blood lingering at the tip of her nose.

Just thinking about it made Eileen start to bleed, so she hurriedly wiped the blood with a handkerchief to prevent it from getting on her underwear on the bed. Eileen sighed.

“……Is it even possible to lose control of your body just by imagining it?”

So seriously, I doubted whether I could even spend the first night properly. Perhaps just lying in bed with Ludrick in his underwear would be enough to witness the rare sight of the Master Class superhuman losing control of her body and the blood flow starting to flow wildly, mainly to her nose.

Eileen shook her head, saying, “That’s not enough,” and paused to choose underwear before opening the cupboard.

Perhaps history was about to be written tonight.

Of course, the truth was that Eileen had added a spoonful of misunderstanding to the words that Ludrick had said without much thought as usual, and had given them too much meaning. But Eileen, who had already made up her mind, had no reason to hesitate.

Drinking until you get drunk can be problematic because it makes it hard to control your subsequent behavior, but if you drink a glass or two of wine beforehand, like having wine with a meal, it can help you feel more at ease.

Eileen, who had been thinking that far, took out a bottle of wine and drank it without even pouring it into a glass.

“……Phew. I feel a little better now.”

As it was one of Eileen’s collections, it was a so-called expensive and good liquor that had to be enjoyed for both taste and aroma, but now I had drunk almost half of it without even pouring it into a separate glass.

It was something she would never have done under normal circumstances, but Eileen was already extremely nervous, so she had no reason to hesitate.

At first glance, the sight of him wiping the alcohol dripping down his lips with a handkerchief seemed decadent, but the person in question was actually breathing hard, saying that he felt much better as the alcohol began to take effect in his body.

My body, which was starting to feel a little drunk, still gave me some degree of determination.

Eileen, who had been indecisive for a while, unable to choose underwear, soon closed her eyes tightly as if she had made up her mind.

2.

“…Come to my room?”

This was not his first time coming to the Grand Duke’s residence in the North.

It’s not the first time, but this is the first time I’ve been inside Eileen’s bedroom.

Asking someone to come to your bedroom late at night might sound like a strange and unnatural atmosphere, but in reality, it can be a healthy way to coordinate your opinions.

Above all, the opponent was Eileen.

“Well, he’s the kind of person who doesn’t know what to do even if you just hold his hand.”

Considering the intense reaction Eileen would show just by holding hands, it wasn’t unreasonable to think that nothing bad could happen.

That’s understandable, since Eileen’s track record is so impressive.

In fact, I was still not used to the idea of ​​having to worry about being attacked by a man in this world, but if I just changed my perspective and thought about it, I could trust Eileen.

Let’s change the genders simply. If Eileen were a guy and I had a younger sister, and we were dating, I would be able to send her even if they went on a trip for 2 days and 1 night.

I stood in front of Eileen’s bedroom with such pointless thoughts.

Even though he knew that Eileen was a swindler, he was worried that the servants of the Grand Duke’s residence would see him going in and out of the bedroom, so he opened the door and went in while looking around.

A magic stone light that glows softly like a mood light in the dark.

“……You’re late.”

“That’s right. It was late so it took a while to go through the procedures for using the magic circle.”

I responded nonchalantly and closed the door, and only then did I notice what was inside the room.

A large bed that could comfortably fit five people, and Eileen sitting on it.

“……ah.”

If only there was a problem.

“Hey, Eileen. It’s a bit strange to be saying something like that in the bedroom…….”

“hmm?”

“……That, that’s a bit of a free-spirited way of dressing.”

What do you call that? That, see-through look?

Her black underwear was clearly visible under her white negligee.

No, it’s bedtime and I can wear pajamas since it’s my bedroom… …but I don’t know where to put my eyes.

Eileen smiled faintly in the midst of this difficult situation.

“Do you find it strange that you are wearing pajamas in the bedroom?”

“Since it’s a bedroom, you should wear pajamas, right……?”

“Yeah, I guess that’s what it is.”

He gestured for me to sit next to him, so I went and sat down.

The atmosphere was completely different than usual.

Is this the Eileen I know? I didn’t know when she was usually covered in uniform, but when I see her like this, my heart swells.

In this world, the idea of ​​a woman seducing a man was not something that had been ingrained in my mind, but seeing Eileen now naturally made me think of that.

I knew it too.

What the heck? Is he trying to seduce me now? Thinking like this is actually a strange way of thinking in this world.

Just as in a blind country, a normal person who can see well is treated as a strange person, this was a similar logic. In a world where gender was reversed, it was clear that I, who still had the same s*xual ideas from my past life, would be treated as a strange person.

If I were to ask Eileen, “Am I flirting with you right now?”, Eileen would probably widen her eyes as if to say, “What do you mean?”

“……Is this how Hong Gil-dong felt when he couldn’t call his father ‘father’?”

“You’re talking nonsense again. Well, that wasn’t something that happened just one or two days ago.”

“There is something like that. Anyway, it’s a bit inconvenient because there’s no place to put your eyes.”

“Huh huh.”

Eileen chuckled and covered her mouth with a small smile.

“It doesn’t wear out just by looking at it, so it doesn’t matter if you look at it. In the first place, what use would you make of looking at a woman’s naked body?”

“…….”

What seemed like a shocking exposure to me was generally treated as something like a man taking his top off at a swimming pool.

Ah, okay. No matter what I say here, I’m just the weird one.

He let out a small sigh and opened his mouth, remembering the original reason he came here.

“So, Eileen, is there anything you want to do at the wedding?”

“……Ah, I haven’t decided on that yet.”

“yes?”

“I was thinking of thinking about it later after discussing it with you… but since you came here so suddenly, I gave up.”

“Hmm… I didn’t bring that up because I had something else in mind.”

“okay.”

wedding ceremony.

Since it’s a once in a lifetime event, I’d like to reflect everyone’s opinions as much as possible. But the problem is that it’s not me who’s planning it, it’s Elena.

Well, if Elena says, “Okay, let’s go and do this,” she’ll probably correct it.

Since I let go and left everything to Elena, my face isn’t thick enough to meddle in her business.

While I was wondering what to do about this, Eileen said as she lay down on the bed.

“……Then, let’s go to sleep and think about the rest slowly tomorrow morning.”

“Are you going to sleep already?”

“It’s getting pretty late… You talk as if you’re not sleeping.”

“I’m not really thinking about it anymore…….”

“……?”

“……?”

Eileen’s eyes widened as if asking what that meant, and I, likewise, widened my eyes as if asking what that meant.

An awkward silence passed, and after a while Eileen cautiously opened her mouth.

“……I clearly knew you would come at this time and stay here for a day.”

“Well… It’s a time when it wouldn’t be strange to sleep over for a day, but should I sleep with Eileen?”

“……?”

What does that mean?

It wasn’t even ‘speaking with expression’, but Eileen’s flustered expression was clearly visible.

Soon Eileen was mumbling.

“……Wasn’t today your honeymoon? That’s why I purposely chose the prettiest underwear possible.”

“Underwear…?”

No, wait a minute. So you were expecting me to sleep here with you for a night?

It felt like a strong impact, like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

A kind of cultural shock.

I quickly came to my senses and spoke as carefully as I could so as not to hurt Eileen’s feelings.

“…There, there’s Eileen.”

“…….”

“A honeymoon is when newlyweds spend one night together after the wedding. It’s not called a honeymoon before the ceremony.”

“…….”

“This is just called speeding.”

Instead of answering, Eileen pulled the blanket up over her head.

“Use it.”

And I quietly clicked my tongue at that sight.

Should I have said it a little more nicely than that…?
