Chapter 10 (2/2)

He wore long Arabian style cream-coloured clothing with a blue fringe and golden ornaments on his arms and ears that shone on his wheat-coloured skin. When a.s.sam drew closer with his laced-up sandals, the anklets made a clear sound.

As I was fascinated, he reached out his hand and touched my forehead.

”There's no fever. Are you still in pain somewhere?”

I shook my head. I wasn't in pain, but my chest was throbbing. It was a bit chaotic.

”Toki Aihara, I wanted to meet you.”

He came near and his hands nervously wrapped around my body, softly pulling me into a gentle embrace, I returned the hug with a little force.

”Name is Toki. So long.”

”Toki, you can just keep calling me a.s.sam. Seeing that you were almost about to die, I brought you here without asking for permission. I saw you everyday for three forests. I didn't want to let you die. Please forgive me for bringing you here without permission.”

a.s.sam asked for forgiveness, I hurriedly shook my head and raised my body.

There's no need for a.s.sam to apologize. I had already wanted to meet him since the first time I saw him. a.s.sam only granted my wish. He saved me from dying.

Even though I had difficulty conveying these words to him, a.s.sam was able to connect that an apology was unnecessary.

”Since Toki can no longer return to the other world. With me, you can live by my side.”

My cheeks dyed from what sounded like a proposal. Toki was unaware of a.s.sam's loving intentions. There were probably no romantic sentiments in those words. Correcting the misunderstanding, my blush withdrew. I didn't care about being unable to return.

However, that I won't be able to live for very long. I have to tell him…
