Chapter 112
She doesn’t tell him, so there’s no way to know what she was thinking. So, he ends up wanting to chew her up.
He’ll know if he digests her.
“Did you wake up?”
Watching the sunrise, he felt a presence near his thighs and tilted his head.
The black-haired goddess rubbed her eyes. After yawning softly, she looked around in surprise, so he gently pressed her shoulder.
“Lie down some more. Your body will ache.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
“I’ll massage you.”
If he could just find her, he wanted to do this for about a hundred years.
He pressed and rubbed her small, pale feet, loosened her legs, and then licked the soles of her feet, making Siren look horrified.
“That’s dirty!”
“It’s not dirty at all.”
“Still!”
“You sound like Siren when you’re flustered.”
Her startled shoulders trembled pitifully at his casual remark.
But it didn’t last as long as before and soon calmed down.
It was a shame. It was fun to tease her.
“So, are you going to tell me now? Why did you abandon me? Whether you liked leaving. Why you never came to the south once while repeating reincarnation. And why did you cursed me ‘not to cross the desert without a valid reason’.”
“……”
“You knew I’d wait. You stole my sleep and my death. And then you were heartless. Are you ready to pay the price?”
His voice was terrifyingly sweet.
He gently stroked Siren’s cheek and met her gaze.
“Huh? Tell me.”
Her blue eyes wavered. Yasamin, seeing himself reflected in them, realized his face was distorted like a demon.
He thought he was smiling, but wasn’t he?
Or maybe he gradually crumbled while talking.
Siren remained silent for a long time.
Without giving any answer.
Then she said one word.
“I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?”
“You waited a long time.”
Instantly, Yasamin growled.
The runaway growl spread throughout his body, stiffening his spine.
The form he had lost long ago returned.
In an instant, he shed his human form and transformed into a giant beast, pressing Siren’s chest with his thick front paws.
He was clearly angry, but his expression looked like he was crying.
His three tails drooped, and his proud horns were blackened.
His powerful and shining form had disappeared into history, and all that remained was… a pitiful beast.
Siren reached out and hugged Yasamin.
“Come here.”
It didn’t take long for his resisting body to slowly sink down.
He couldn’t disobey his master. He didn’t listen to anyone else, but he was always the subordinate to the master who held his leash.
“Yes, I came too late. I abandoned you and turned away. I couldn’t open my mouth because I thought telling you the reason would make it your fault.”
What could she say?
Your obsession was annoying?
I didn’t like you wanting to monopolize me.
I knew your feelings, but they didn’t match mine. So I abandoned you. I treated you lightly because I knew you’d wait for me anyway.
No matter what she said, it would be hurtful.
“And… I don’t think I did anything wrong. Nor do I think I committed a sin.”
Even the apology is an emotion of “Siren.”
Aquafuran wasn’t very sorry.
“I” is always the priority.
A self-loving being is unable to think of “you” because they are thinking of “me.” And about those who were hurt by loving such a self… she thought it couldn’t be helped.
In fact, wasn’t that what a god was?
“But you’ll need someone to resent. You’ve lived until now with hatred and longing for me. I wanted to meet you again someday. In the same form as then, without changing at all. So I gave you eternal life.”
If he criticized her for doing it for her own sake, she had nothing to say.
But it wasn’t like she had nothing to argue with.
Just because he was obsessed, just because he couldn’t live without her, she didn’t have to accept it all.
Feelings are joyful when they connect, but so sad when they don’t.
It was just sad, and it was hard to say who was at fault.
“The reason I prevented you from crossing the desert was to keep you from chasing me.”
“……”
“Stealing your sleep… must have been a side effect of the curse. I didn’t know such a side effect would occur.”
