Chapter 37: Meeting before the last meeting (2)

The heat of midsummer lingered even as the sun slowly began to set.

I opened the only window in the rented room, but there wasn’t a breath of wind.

Instead, heat haze rising from the asphalt and loudly chirping cicadas greeted me.

I felt like moisture was evaporating just from seeing and hearing them.

“Yeres Unnie, are you very hungry?”

Happy approached as I frowned and closed the window, not being the type to like such things.

Even an omnipotent magical girl couldn’t do anything about the heat.

Or maybe it was one of her sexual fantasies.

She sat next to me, having put away her discarded clothes in the corner and only wearing her apron, so our bare skin touched.

The body heat, which felt even more intense because I also didn’t have any clothes on, was worse than the midsummer heat.

“Do you want to eat that?”

To add insult to injury, the food she had bought, saying she would make it, was spicy chicken ribs that had to be cooked.

I hesitated to answer the question Happy threw at me as she looked at the plastic bag she had dropped at the entrance.

“Were you very tired?”

I wasn’t hesitating because of the heat.

Happy’s subsequent question also wasn’t in a tone blaming the weather, where sweat flowed even if you did nothing.

If it were, she wouldn’t have come to me.

Because it’s a situation where annoyance surged the moment our skin touched.

Instead, she diligently wiped my groin with a wet wipe she didn’t know where she got from.

“No.”

I was the same.

Ah, I don’t mean that I wiped Happy’s groin.

When I mixed bodies with her, I couldn’t utter a word during the ardent yet tender abuse.

I was so crushed by pleasure that I couldn’t even recall the mindset that I would also do that since I had something precious taken away.

“I’m not tired at all.”

Even though.

Even though I was embarrassed by the reality that I had fallen into a state where I couldn’t even put up a timid resistance.

Even while still unable to escape from the pleasure and trembling, I tried to protect my pride.

“Don’t lie, Unnie.”

“Eut…!”

“Why are you trembling so much if you’re not tired?”

But Happy knew me too well.

She stole my gaze by holding a wet wipe full of blood and fluids in front of my eyes, then reached out with her other hand and touched my chest.

It was the area she had relentlessly targeted when we mixed bodies, so I groaned just from her touching it.

“I want to do it one more time. But I’m holding back because I thought it would be hard for Unnie?”

Oh my god.

If I did it one more time in this state, I might faint.

As I moved my Adam’s apple busily and swallowed hard, Happy chuckled and took her hand off my chest.

“So, say you’re tired if you’re tired.”

“…I’m tired.”

“I understand. I’ll hold back.”

I finally told the truth at the persistent surrender invitation.

But I didn’t hate Happy, nor did I think I had been r*ped.

The beginning was because of the punishment given by the ‘Quest Jewel,’ but as a result, I had ended up loving her.

It was fun.

I nodded my head, thinking that should be okay.

Anyway.

Getting back to the point.

I also didn’t care about the heat.

I just didn’t like the feeling of moisture evaporating.

“Here, take it.”

She handed me a 500mL plastic water bottle, even with the lid opened.

I was okay, but.

“Quickly. Your body looks too dry, Unnie.”

…I really was okay, but I didn’t refuse.

“Thank you.”

I poured water on my parched skin.

I smiled slightly at the sensation of replenishing the moisture that had evaporated in the sweltering heat.

“Do you need one more bottle?”

“It’s okay. This is enough.”

“That’s a relief. Then… I’ll just stay like this for a moment.”

Happy, who had finished wiping the blood and fluids from my groin, slipped right into my arms.

The area where our skin touched increased in the sweltering heat, but she didn’t care.

I also didn’t push her away.

Rather, I reached out and hugged her.

There were several reasons why I could do that.

First, Happy and I aren’t ordinary people.

She, a magical girl, and I, who was the Queen of the dark organization Darkmoon, are used to the energy generated when magic and magic interlock and explode.

Especially since I cast magic using water as a source, I was often exposed to magic that spewed out heat, such as fire or light.

So I could withstand this much heat, and that’s why I didn’t cast magic to wash away the heat.

Rather, I enjoyed the heat that filled the rented room.

“So. Are you hungry or not?”

Happy turned around and looked at me.

Unable to overcome the love that I didn’t know was artificial or sincere, I kissed her cheek.

Then she reached out and tapped my chest once again.

“Eut.”

Then, when she grabbed one side tightly, I let out a groan that would raise the heat of the rented room even more.

“Do you like my chest that much?”

“It’s fluffy and soft.”

“Really? I only find it uncomfortable because it’s big.”

“Wow… this is that boast I’ve only heard about.”

“That’s not it…!”

“It’s okay. Now, come here.”

I wanted to protest, but Happy blocked my lips.

For a moment, a vulgar sound echoed in the rented room.

I didn’t dislike it this time either.

“Sit down, I’ll cook for you.”

She, who took her lips off first, got up from her seat and looked at me with a sly expression.

She seemed to like the marks she had left on my body.

I lowered my gaze and checked the state of my body, which was full of obscene marks.

A chest full of teeth marks and wrists swollen red with hand marks.

Scratch marks were drawn all over the place.

But I didn’t feel any pain.

Therefore, without resisting the punishment given by the ‘Quest Jewel,’ I smiled contentedly as I watched Happy, who was holding the bag containing the spicy chicken ribs.

“You can’t eat this as it is, Unnie.”

“Why?”

“It’s much spicier than the fried rice I gave you last time?”

I sighed deeply at her impression after taking the bag of spicy chicken ribs, walking to the sink, inserting her pinky finger, and licking the sauce.

“Then I don’t think I can eat it? Just something else…”

“It’s okay.”

“Huh?”

“I have something I brought, thinking that might happen.”

Happy started rummaging through the refrigerator next to the sink.

The only item I had put in there was a 500mL plastic water bottle.

She probably had ingredients she bought before coming to me.

“Onions, sweet potatoes, and rice cakes and perilla leaves. If you put these in, the spiciness will disappear.”

And even cheese.

As she turned on the induction stove, the internal temperature began to rise to an unknown end.

But even so.

Happy and I didn’t care about the heat.

Our faces were flushed red, but that was because of the lewdness we had experienced a little while ago, not because of the heat.

The reason why I was filling the empty 500mL plastic water bottle with tap water was also the same.

“This will be more effective than that? And you said you would make it less spicy.”

Even after seeing me, who casts magic using water as a source, take out the ingredients, Happy just chuckled and didn’t guard against me.

That was because she easily noticed that I was doing this simply because I didn’t want to be scolded by the spicy chicken ribs.

“Milk?”

“Yes. I bought it just in case.”

Even the amount of milk she handed me was a whopping 1.5L.

I was in a situation where I had fallen to a position where I was being cared for, let alone guarded against.

But, still.

I didn’t dislike it.

“Thank you.”

“You’re going to eat rice too, right?”

“Yeah. I’ll eat everything you give me.”

“That’s good to hear. It’s hot here, so sit down.”

Without complaint, I stepped away from the induction stove and sat down.

With nothing else to do, I was putting on the clothes I had taken off when Happy, who had finished cooking, approached me with the frying pan.

“How is it? Looks delicious, right?”

Ending with heating up the instant rice using light magic since there was no microwave.

Happy sat across from the low desk and looked at me.

“What about you?”

“Huh?”

“Aren’t you eating?”

“Would you like me to eat with you?”

Of course.

Because I was now crushed by the punishment given by the ‘Quest Jewel’.

Without hesitation, I nodded my head.

“Okay. Let’s… act a little more.”

She, who had said that with a bright smile at first.

She, who showed a sad emotion from a moment’s hesitation.

She soon wore a smile that was a mixture of forcedness and naturalness.

The moment I saw that, the illusion broke even though I didn’t even feel pain.

I realized that I had fallen too deeply into the love only allowed in this life, to the point where I couldn’t get out.

But even so, I didn’t create a blade and cut my palm.

I made a complacent judgment, thinking that I only had to share love in this life, so let’s enjoy it a little more.

“Try eating it like this.”

Because she said to act a little more.

Happy brought me the spicy chicken ribs and vegetables one by one on a plate placed in front of me.

“Can I eat it all at once?”

“That’s right.”

It was still spicy for my taste, but it was quite edible.

“This time, try eating it with cheese.”

When I ate it with cheese, I couldn’t feel the spiciness at all.

“Is it delicious?”

“Yeah. It’s super delicious. You eat quickly too.”

“Okay. Then… I’ll enjoy the meal.”

Soon we forgot all about the crack that had occurred a little while ago and burst into laughter.

In an atmosphere where the love Happy wanted,

the ordinary life I wanted,

and the punishment given by the ‘Quest Jewel’

interlocked appropriately,

we completely erased the animosity we had towards each other,

as if nothing had happened.

As if we were close.

We spent time like lovers, forgetting who each other was for a moment.

So

“See you later.”

“…Okay.”

Even when the time came when the sun had completely disappeared and I heard Happy say goodbye, I tried to smile.

I slowly approached her, who was wearing her magical girl outfit and heading out the door, and tried to hug her.

It was an action to love her one last time.

“Yeres Unnie.”

But.

“Now we have to stop acting.”

Happy was thinking differently from me.

Her expression changed in an instant, and she cast light magic by waving her staff.

Kwagwang!

I felt indescribable pain.

It was so powerful that even a scream was too scared to come out.

“Now we have to hate each other again, don’t we?”

Happy, who had finished acting, looked at me with a mineral-like eye as I was pushed back by the light magic and collapsed against the wall.

It was an eye without love, let alone madness.

She walked in, opened the refrigerator, took out several 500mL plastic water bottles, and approached me.

“I don’t want to do that… but Unnie has to, right.”

Then she poured them on me and continued to talk in a voice that contained no emotion at all.

“If you don’t want to see Alpha die, come after me right away.”

At least at the end, it was a tone as if she was somehow holding back the surging anger.

…

…

The front door slammed shut.

While regenerating my body with the water sprinkled on my head,

I began to contemplate whether to make today’s events a memory or a nightmare.

“A memory that’s also a nightmare… is a first.”

Thus our love came to an end.

But today is not over yet.
