Master, I Swear I Didn’t Mean To! - Chapter 91

【 Hm? You just have to dream a lot. 】

“Is there a way for me to control other people’s dreams?”

【 E-Eki. That is a really scary thing to say. And why would you control someone else’s dream? You have your own. 】

“…My dream?”

Eki tilted her head. Venta raised a tiny index finger and wiggled it.

【 Yes. You can make other fairies be born besides me! 】

So it wasn’t one fairy per person?

“How do I do that? Do I just sleep and wake up?”

【 No. The conditions for a fairy’s birth aren’t that simple. But you might be able to do it quickly… 】

Venta folded her arms, then looked between Eki and Cassius as she continued.

【 As you know, fairies are born from dreams and hopes. More precisely, they sprout from a ‘dream’ that holds hope. 】

She slipped from Eki’s hand and fluttered into the air, scattering sparkling dust.

【 The reason you were able to create me is because your dream was stronger than other people’s. So if you achieve something you desire or gain a new dream, another fairy might be born. 】

“My desire…”

Eki’s mouth dropped open. Cassius, who had been listening quietly, frowned as if displeased.

“If it’s your dream, you only have one, don’t you?”

Eki’s grand aspiration, the ridiculous nickname of ‘Beauty Cult Supremo’.

“It’s obvious. You just want to look at people who fit your taste all you want.”

But there was one thing Cassius didn’t know. As humans do, Eki’s dream had changed while she experienced a chain of events over a short time.

Eki gathered herself at his words and slowly turned toward him. Her eyes were glossy, maybe because she had cried earlier.

“That’s right, Master. I do like beautiful people.”

“…But unfortunately, you can’t leave my side for now. Because of the chain.”

“It’s fine. Why would I need to go far? I’ve got a perfect handsome man right in front of me.”

Cassius, who’d had his arms crossed, blinked wide-eyed. Then, realizing that ‘perfect handsome man’ referred to him, his face flushed crimson.

“How… How could you say such embarrassing things so casually?”

“It’s true, so what’s the problem? And that’s not the important part.”

Eki’s dream. What she desired. Honestly, wasn’t it obvious?

As if she’d never cried, she clasped her hands and bounced toward Cassius.

“Master. I want to use that d***o I bought back then.”

❖ ❖ ❖

‘No way!’

Naturally, Cassius refused.

‘Damn it. Is that really the only thing in her head?’

His face filled with shame, expectation, and shock all at once as he lost his temper and finished his work.

But that level of refusal wasn’t nearly enough to stop Eki. Whenever she had a chance, she approached him, begging in a begging-that’s-not-really-begging way, saying they had to sleep together tonight anyway so couldn’t they try it just once. Cassius jumped in fright every time and rejected her desperately.

If not for the fairy’s prank, he would have pushed Eki away and fled to another room, but since he couldn’t separate from her, his embarrassment only piled up endlessly.

Naturally, Cassius’s mind and body grew quite tired. He had already been irritated thanks to Ikelid’s useless big mouth. That guy had pretended it was unintentional while revealing his secret to Eki, but Cassius was sure it was the bastard’s scheme.

‘He wants to use Eki to produce more fairies.’

Obviously. Most people who’d lived through the Dark Age hung their lives on restoring the dimensional barrier. Ikelid was the last archmage who had survived that period, so it was natural he’d obsess over it.

‘What am I supposed to tell Eki…’

Cassius wished the remaining time would pass slowly. Living trapped in the tower was something he was already used to, so it didn’t matter. Until he departed for the other world, he just wanted to quietly finish his role as Eki’s master.

With tangled thoughts filling his mind, the day passed quickly and night arrived.

Once again, it was time for Eki’s bath. Even though she had boldly tried to seduce Cassius during the day, at this time she was quite embarrassed. As she undressed, she warned him.

“Um, Master. This time you really can’t look.”

“I’m not going to look!”

The heat in Cassius’s g***n, which he had barely calmed, flared again.
