Chapter 119
▷ To Live in the Same World
After Giyote left, Cassius and Eki were finally able to enjoy their freedom in earnest, but unfortunately, another source of trouble began actively causing problems.
The ultra-strong luck potion.
“Master, the magic circle we’re supposed to produce next quarter is… out?!”
“M-My apologies.”
As Cassius reached out to take the parchment, he accidentally grabbed Eki’s chest.
“Eki, tidy up the cauldron.”
“Okay. Ah, could you pass me the brush over there?”
“This one?”
“Yes. …Hngh?!”
While floating the brush through the air to hand it over, he inexplicably scratched near her n****e.
“Honestly. Master, really! Stop teasing me all the time!”
“I-It wasn’t intentional. You know that!”
“Even so. How many times has this been already? Even if the association work is done, we still have our next assignment. If you keep doing this… ack!”
Unable to endure it any longer, Eki covered her chest with her arms and snapped, but at that moment she stepped on a parchment under her feet by mistake and pitched forward, ending up sharing a deep kiss with Cassius, who had tried to catch her.
“……”
“……”
They stared at each other with wide eyes. Their elbows, backs, and the backs of their heads throbbed from hitting the floor, but right now, all they could feel was the warmth passing between their pressed lips.
Cassius swallowed hard and carefully pushed Eki by the shoulder. Because they’d kissed through such a forceful collision, their lips were red and swollen.
“It wasn’t… intentional.”
Cassius repeated the same words. And that was because it truly hadn’t been intentional.
As he avoided Eki’s piercing gaze and tried to lift his upper body, she leaned in and kissed him again. This time, she wrapped her arms around his neck, warmly enveloped his swollen lips, and even flicked her tongue against them. At the soft, hot stimulation, Cassius’s c**k sprang upright at once. He let out a groan without realizing it and grabbed Eki by the waist.
Smack. Eki pulled her lips away and declared,
“Let’s just go do it.”
“What? No.”
“Why not? This is all because of desire anyway. It’s like the luck potion is telling us to go and relieve ourselves.”
“N-No. I told you, we can’t. There’s still work left.”
“When have you ever cared about that when you were clinging to me? And you said you’d suck me next time.”
Cassius’s cheeks flared bright red. He clenched his teeth until his jawline stood out and pushed himself up. Eki naturally stood up as well.
“Even so… we can’t.”
Eki’s eyes narrowed. It seemed she’d noticed something strange about her master’s condition.
If he stayed like this, she would rush him again and try to get the full story out of him. Right now, Cassius had several troublesome matters piled up that he couldn’t tell Eki about, so once again, he chose avoidance.
“I’ll step out for a bit.”
“Where are you going?”
“…The basement.”
Eki’s shoulders slumped. She knew that the basement was a place he had to inspect alone.
Still, she asked in a worried voice,
“This isn’t the luck potion’s effect too, right? Like suddenly wanting to see a slime or something…”
“It’s not!”
Cassius shouted sharply and left the laboratory.
“Hah…”
Had he ever said that he had no intention of rejecting her? He was retracting that now. Cassius planned to push her away until the effects of the luck potion completely wore off.
The reason was simple.
‘We heard that rumors about Eki and Cassius have spread within the association!’
Because of what the two fairies who had suddenly come to see him said.
‘It’s become a rumor? How did that even happen?’
‘Hm, who was it again. Baba? Bibi?’
‘Babel.’
‘We heard how that human named Babel spread the rumor.’
With anger surging up in an instant, Cassius’s pupils split long and narrow. He drew in a deep breath as if to endure it and rubbed his tired eyes.
He made a mistake.
HE shouldn’t have let that bastard who looked like a poisonous mushroom go so easily. He should’ve broken an arm or a leg so he’d never crawl back to Eki again.
‘What will happen to Eki? If it becomes known that she’s been involved with her master, the association won’t look on it kindly…’
Unaware that his image, built up over hundreds of years, was so poor that no one would believe that rumor anyway, Cassius worried alone about Eki’s reputation.
‘I forgot that people outside would see it strangely. Human society must be important to Eki.’
