Don’t Be Holy! - Chapter 193

She couldn’t understand why “with whom” was the first question that came to mind. Eir stared at him blankly. Then, with an expressionless face, Rubel stared intently into her eyes and said:

“Are you planning to run away with that bastard Chrome?”

It was immediately apparent that he had struck her weak point. As soon as he mentioned that name, Eir’s face filled with surprise, her mouth even falling open.

“What…… No, how……. Do you deal with ghosts? Did you attach something like that to me?”

Rubel felt as if his insides were burning, but he didn’t show it.

He calmly lowered his hands only after finishing applying medicine to both of Eir’s arms.

“So it seems that fellow helped you escape.”

“How did you know that?”

“Didn’t he tell you? I caught the witch named Uldir in order to catch the witch named Chrome. She’s in the underground prison of the Central Temple right now.”

The round green eyes rolled. She remembered promising Chrome that she would help extract Uldir from the Central Temple.

‘This shouldn’t be discovered.’

Eir made this resolution, but she felt as if everything was being exposed under Rubel’s gaze at this moment, and she couldn’t imagine how much she could hide from him.

“I-I see.”

Eir licked her dry lips and muttered that way for no reason. Then she heard a deflating laugh.

“It’s even more disgusting that you didn’t tell me. Who exactly is this person? You said they were a friend, right? Tell me when you became friends.”

In fact, Rubel still wasn’t completely certain that Chrome was a man. He was acting this way simply because of the fact that there was a witch who had stuck to Eir like a leech and helped her several times, and because when he was attacked and caught a glimpse of that face, there was something oddly unsatisfying about considering it a woman’s face.

On the other hand, Eir knew well that Chrome was a man, so she couldn’t help but be conscious of Rubel’s attitude.

“It’s true that Chrome helped me, but I handled most of it alone. The treasure, oh yes, did you hear that I recovered the treasure?”

“Why are you changing the subject? Do you think I’ll criticize you for being friendly with a witch?”

“No…… It’s not like we’re close enough to talk about.”

“Yet they saved you? Saving you would go against the witches’ will, wouldn’t it?”

“Um, what exactly are you curious about?”

“Is Chrome a man?”

“What?”

“Does he have feelings for you?”

Eir’s mind went completely blank at the sudden bombardment. Rubel stared at her intently and thought to himself, ‘Just as I thought.’ A terrible jealousy twisted his insides.

The fact that she referred to him as a ‘friend,’ that the bastard had stepped in and helped Eir several times while Rubel couldn’t do anything, that they had a history together that Rubel didn’t know about—each of these things was so infuriating that he couldn’t rank them in order of which was worst.

Rubel brought his face close to Eir’s and stared intently into her eyes.

“Answer me. Eir. Did you receive a confession?”

“What…….”

Eir’s words abruptly stopped. This was because Rubel, who had asked the question first, pressed his lips against hers as if he didn’t want to hear the answer. His tongue thrust in, sweeping over hers, scattering the words she couldn’t even speak. It was a rough kiss, rubbing and grinding inside her mouth.

Eir urgently grabbed his clothes and tried to pull her head back, but it wasn’t easy to detach a man blinded by jealousy and greed. Rubel persistently showered her with kisses, skillfully giving her time to breathe, but during those moments, he licked her face thoroughly as if marking his territory like an animal.

“Ru-Rubel…… Stop…….”

But the more she resisted, the more persistently his lips sought Eir’s, and soon, as all the acts mingled in a hazy way, Eir too lost her rationality and began to respond to him.

When she came to her senses, Eir was lying sideways on the floor, and Rubel was looking down at her as if about to pounce on her.

“The medicine’s all done. Should I just say you seduced me?”
