Chapter 68
Afraid that Roarna might notice something strange in his behavior.
Afraid that she would draw the line, saying she couldn’t do this kind of thing with a friend anymore.
‘…It’s not like I could do what even Leocel couldn’t.’
The thought he least wanted to face surfaced in his mind, muddled with lust.
Leocel.
After coming to terms with the fact that Roarna was a woman—after nearly twenty years—the person who looked most different in Celesto’s eyes was him.
Until now, he had never deeply thought about the fact that Roarna had relieved her s****l desires with Leocel.
He just thought it was an extremely rational relationship. That they had a secret relationship because each wanted something from the other.
But thinking about it, it was a bit strange.
Leocel knew Roarna very well. At first, Celesto thought it was because they shared a hobby—that is, they were both interested in academia—but their specific interests were actually slightly different.
Moreover, according to Roarna, Leocel had already been making advances on her since she came of age.
And after that, he used the vow of chastity as an excuse to cling to Roarna.
“…”
Furrows formed on Celesto’s brow.
He knew that all these thoughts might be leaps in logic.
It was more likely that Leocel didn’t have a genuine interest in Roarna, but rather thought it would be a loss not to touch a pretty girl who had no particular attachment to chastity.
But so what? Anyone who had eyes for Roarna was an enemy.
A voice somewhere in his heart whispered, ‘Are you really going to be jealous of Leocel of all people?’ But Celesto ignored it.
That was why, even if Roarna was curious, he had no intention of telling her anything related to Leocel.
‘The problem is that all these resolutions tend to fade once I share pleasure with Roarna.’
It happened every time. When his brain melted with pleasure and he saw Roarna crying out sweetly, he would end up saying every single thing he shouldn’t.
As if all his resistance crumbled away.
‘Maybe I should bite my tongue in advance.’
Celesto seriously considered it.
But the fact that even while thinking that, thoughts like ‘If I bite my tongue, I won’t just be unable to speak, I won’t be able to kiss either’ came to mind—clearly showed how serious his condition was.
*Clunk, clunk.*
Just then, the carriage shook violently.
While he was confused amidst his fingernail-sized remaining reason, his s****l desire, and the newly realized emotional desire, it seemed the carriage had turned onto the main road.
Celesto adjusted his attire once more. The outline of his shaft was prominent against his thigh, hidden beneath his thick hood.
Was it because the wait had been long? His breathing kept growing shorter.
Finally, when the carriage stopped and arrived at the station, a familiar scent pierced Celesto’s nostrils.
A sweet, fruit-like fragrance.
“Haha…”
Celesto let out a dry laugh without meaning to.
How absurd. His mind had been so complicated just moments ago, yet the fact that Roarna had understood his summons and come out to meet him made him this happy.
He gritted his teeth. Before his body, giddy with excitement, could blurt out something strange.
Celesto stepped off the carriage and moved his legs mechanically. Roarna was standing in an alley across from the public carriage station.
As he approached, Roarna’s eyes widened. Her small lips parted in surprise.
“Hey, you… look at the state of your pants…”
Roarna’s gaze was fixed on his lower body, visible beneath the hood.
Only then did he look down between his legs. Perhaps because he was wearing light-colored clothes, a reddish glow was seeping through his pants.
“Roarna.”
Celesto whispered in a low voice.
“I need it right now. Immediately.”
“…Right now? Literally right now?”
“Yeah.”
Roarna lowered her eyes, looking troubled.
Just from Celesto getting straight to the point, she could tell. The curse’s symptoms were clearly flaring up strongly.
As if to prove it, Celesto immediately took Roarna’s hand and pulled her along.
The moment her wrist was grabbed, Roarna’s shoulder flinched noticeably, but Celesto didn’t notice.
Not that he would notice anything with his half-mad mind.
Celesto, holding Roarna’s hand, passed through a few alleys. Then they arrived at a short corridor connecting two old buildings.
