Chapter 23 - I am not used to this familiar person (1/2)

“Hey, Welcome.”

I looked up at Erich walking down the wagon and raised my hand as if to say hello.

“You…”

His eyes that looked at me were wide open at the same time. He was in an expression of doubt.

“What did you eat wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Did you start protesting now? Did you even fight with brother?”

“No way.”

“Then is it a late rebel?”

He think of me in my rebellious face, and he was very impressed by my bad attitude. Hah, I did it.

Now I have a hammock chair next to the entrance on the first floor as I lay down and lay like a sloth on it, and now I was craving for work.

Moreover, when I went out with Louise a while ago, the thing I was buying was a black glasses.

Using this will help prevent glare from sunlight.

It was definitely less glaring, but I didn’t buy it by believing in its effectiveness.

I was wearing it, and I was satisfied because it seemed to be pretty cool.

If I use this for some reason, I should say that I looks a little more challenging because they can’t see my expression because their eyes are blinded.

One thing to do.

“I’m free to throw off this bridle of oppression that’s ever been redeeming me! Now, why don’t you become a wild youth in this new world with me?”

Erich hit his tongue at my invitation.

“It must be brother Cabel, I know it.”

He seemed to think that my deviation was due to the second brother.

Oh wait. By the way, am I just like Cabel now?! What, why is it a little humiliating?

“No, look in my eyes! You can be happy and laugh!”

“Oh, my eyes!”

Suddenly Erich, who came to me, reaching to my eyes, and the light that had been blocked so far suddenly came into my eyes, so I had to shudder with glare.

I lost my glasses.

“Oh, why do you suddenly take it away?”

“I came home after a long time, and now you did something strange.”

Erich didn’t peel off my face. He just took my glasses.

I even looked at the him with my eyes frowning and even tried to adjust them myself.

The glasses with black lens like this were mysterious when I first saw them.

Ha, He’s new. When a person plays a prank, it should have a taste that goes well.

Aa, he’s no fun.

“It suits you well. Just take it for you.”

I gave up on bringing Erich to the world of deviance.

Perhaps he noticed that I liked the sun-blocking glasses, so I just decided to give it to Erich.

“What? is this because of the wind?”

Erich almost fell down on the hammock chair and raised his eyebrows, looking at me waving my arms underneath.

Because of the black lens in the glasses, their eyes were blinded so they couldn’t read my exact look, but they thought very strangely about me.

I thought I knew as much as I did.

“I just wanted to open up a new horizon of life from now on.”

Mr. Gardener, who works outside, and the servants who go back and forth through the corridor inside the building, kept looking at me over the window.

I did try not to notice, but neverthless.

Erich seem noticed that I was talking about the noise of the people.

Well, it didn’t matter though.

“Would you like to have a snowball fight?”

Erich’s expressions has a suspicion over his eyes this time on my absurd words.

“Suddenly, why a snowball fight?”

“Aren’t you having a snowball fight with your friends at the Academy?”

“No kid, why do I’m acting so childishly?”

“Are you sure?”

I got off the hammock chair.

Ah, even if the sunbathing was the goal, it was cold, so I had to come down a bit because I wore thick clothes.

“You looks like a fat rabbit or a duck.”

Erich laughed at me.

Hmph.

It’s big, but Hubert and other servants didn’t want to let me out without this thick clothes because I shouldn’t get cold!

I wouldn’t have met my hammock chair until today is gone if I hadn’t worn it tightly.

“Erich.”

I stood down completely. I smiled at him.

“If you don’t want to have a snowball fight, you’re just a loser.”

Erich felt frustrated as if he felt something, but I was faster. I quickly picked up a round snowball hidden under the chair and threw it at Erich.

Pug!

Shhh, take it!

For this moment, just take the snowball made with a sloppy hand with all my heart!

“Hey, you cheated…!”

Puck!

Erich was amazed to know that I had made a snowball in advance.

It seemed embarrassing to realize that, regardless of his opinion, I was in the heart to fight.

Heh, I’m the winner in this area! The winner is already set, so just admit it!

“Isn’t this a scam? Did you intend to do this as soon as I come?”

“Hehe, is it still far?”

“How many of you made this snowballs?!”

At first, it seemed as if the end of the bomb, to Erich, who had just been hit, could not be seen.

Wick!

Soon he attempted a counterattack!

But I avoided his eyes. Heh, since I was young, my nickname was Mellinton’s flying squirrel!

Do you think that snowball like that cotton ball can hit me?

“Ahaha, idiot! I knew I was right…. Ugh!”

Perhaps!

But the first one was a deception. I was forced to stop talking because I was hit by a snowball that flew in a row.

“Hey, wait…”

“Wait a minute.”

Puck, Fuah!

Erich says, “Wait!”

While shouting or saying, I threw my eyes at him.

I also did not rest and teased him with my arms, and suddenly my surroundings were full of white snow that was flying.

“Hyuk. It’s quite good right?”

“Yeah, heo.. You’re pretty good heh?”

And finally, as the fog-covered eyes slowly subsided, we breathed a good breath and smiled at each other.

A thundering lightning struck between Erich and me. It’s almost 10 years since we burn a fight on each other.

This is the first time since years ago.

“Truce?”

“Truce.”

We agreed to take a break.

Oh hoo, it’s sax.

After a long period of vigorous exercise, my limbs are creaking. I sneaked my hand away from Erich’s eyes.

“Hey, will you keep cheating?”

At that time, Erich saw me sneaking my eyes and hit him first.

He turned his head and shouted away from the snow scattered in front of his eyes.

“You’ve decided to truce!”

“What’s the ceasefire?”

The second act of blood-blinking snowball fights rose.

We threw our eyes at each other with all our might, as if we were 8-year-olds and not 18-year-olds.

And this time it stretched faster than before.

“Hyuk, Huk. You’re so strong.”

“That’s normal.”

He said, both of us were no longer able to throw snowballs, but we were making fun with our mouths.

Oh, it was fine until the first game, but after doing this twice in a row, I’m going to die.

“Because of you, my clothes are completely snow covered.”

“It looks good, what I did.”

I giggled at the grumbling Erich.

Contrary to the first thought, it was a very serious fight, but it was fun to have a snowball fight after a long time.

“Do you want to play the third game?”

“Oh, I can’t, I can’t. I had enough.”

“Uh, are you surrendering now? Then am I winning?”

“You do whatever you want.”

Erich’s expression seemed to say,

‘This is a tough thing.’

I looked at his face and burst into laughter.

“Then, let’s go in.”

We moved with a good brush between our eyes when we had a passionate snowball fight.

“Brother Cabel is on guard at night.”

“Why do the 2nd division do that?”

“I don’t know, they’re saying that newcomers should do everything.”

“Is he still new to them?”

“Well, even then, brother Cabel is such a great man right?”

“That’s right.”

Erich and I stepped into the mansion without any worries about Cabel so much that we knew he gonna do well.

Wow, but this is a very valid idea.

“Would you like me to order for a warm tea?”

As soon as we went indoors, Hubert asked.

“Then two glasses of cocoa.”

“Not a cocoa, what a kid.”

I didn’t know this natural law of having not to eat cocoa after the original snowball fight!

I went to the fireplace with Erich and insisting on one cocoa, whether Erich was embarrassed or not.

Hubert smiled at us for a long time. After nodding, he left.

“Well then, where is the escort? I can’t see him?”

It was a mysterious shape because he couldn’t see the Ethan on my side.

“It’s a holiday today.”

“Holiday? Was there anything like that?”

“It is from now on. One day a week.”

“You’re completely negligent? Rather, what you’ve eaten so far? Throw it!”

Oh, in the next country, it’s said that five days a week is common workdays, and Arlanta needs to introduced to this new system, too!

“It’s good because I can’t see him anyway.”

On his face, there was an expression that seemed to be absent-minded. Seeing it, I kicked my tongue.

“Why haven’t you been well with Sir Ethan since long ago?”

“You’re unlucky.”

“No, what?”

“It’s all funny from head to toe.”

Where else is a sincere and polite man like Ethan.

But then, he turned around and looked at me. He creased his face as if he suddenly realized something he had passed without thinking.

It’s been like over a year since Erich replied,

“Wait. But what are you, you’re calling the child by name?”

“It’s been over a year since we’ve been together, it’s also the time for us to be natural.”

I hurriedly replied.

Rather, it could be said that it was too late to come up and start calling on the escort by name, but Erich’s thought was different.

“Is the escort life so hard? Just call it an escort, or a knight. There is a word that can be used in its own way, or Bishop.”

Oh, it’s starting again. I listened to Erich’s words and replied,

‘Yeah, yeah.’

“Do listen!”

“Oh, I got it. Ah, Cocoa is here!”

At that moment, the maid came up with the cocoa and I was finally freed from Erich’s nagging.

“Oops, if you want to come, do not make a noise.”

I knew that Eugene was home late and went to his room.

Today I play with Penny with Erich and I was being insane for a while with them, so I didn’t even know Eugene was home.

Even now, Eugene was just sitting on the sofa and skimming through the unknown papers that appear to be documents.

At the table in front of him, a cup of hot steam was prepared.

I don’t know what the reason is, but Eugene seemed to have a busy day between the inner and outer palaces these days.

“I didn’t call because I thought you might be resting.”

Eugene saw me and lowered the paper he was holding onto his lap. I walked into the room and asked him.

“Aren’t your expression is not bright? Is it not going well?”

“No. It’s not like that. I’m just a little tired.”

Even after the last days, Eugene and I treated each other with the usual attitude.

At first glance, our relationship has never changed. Still, there is the feeling that our psychological distance was probably narrower than before.

“If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me.”

Of course, I didn’t think I could be able to help Eugene do anything directly. But if there was anything else that could help him, I wanted to do anything.

Then Eugene, who looked at my face silently for a while, finally lifted his lips.

“Then come and hug me.”

At the moment, I wondered,

‘Did I hear it wrong?’

He had a face that didn’t change his expression, despite what he had just said, but as Eugene lifted his hands and spread his arms apart, I realized that his words were sincere.

Looking at me doubting my ears, Eugene did tilted his head at an angle.

“Why? You used to be like that sometimes.”

I was embarrassed, but Eugene wearing a very casual look.

Indeed, as he said, several times in the meantime, I hugged him first. Not long ago too, when I met Lavender Cordis…

However, it was very embarrassing when Eugene asked me for it.

But when I saw him staring at me as if he was urging me, I felt like I was a rather strange person who is hesitating now.

I faltered in a chaotic state and approached Eugene.

Why is this situation so strange that a question mark came to my mind in my head.

But I couldn’t stop walking because the person in front me was waiting for me with a perfectly calm face.

“There…”

However, when the distance between Eugene and me narrowed, I felt awkward and hesitated, but without a deep thought, Eugene pulled my wrist in front of him.

“Oh! Come on, wait a minute…!”

The very next moment, a leaked voice burst out of my mouth.

I shuddered and shook my body with a shocked face.

Because now It look like I’m in Eugene’s lap!

Why, why did he become like this?

At best, I thought about hugging Eugene, who still sits, and only hugs him once!

Never this come to my mind!

“It’s okay. Stay still.”

I jumped and struggled to get up again, but Eugene never budged. He whispered to my ear, and I screamed inside.

It’s not okay! It’s not okay!

However, as soon as my body was surrounded by warmth, I felt hard and turned white.

Eugene tightened my waist with a tight arm and pulled my back to him and make our body came into contact more tightly.

I stopped breathing with Eugene’s chest on my face. I could feel his shallow breath passing over my head.

The refreshing scent from Eugene’s usual scent stimulated the sense of smell closer than ever.

A body temperature slightly higher than me has been transmitted from our tightly-fitting body.

This was really weird. Not a little. A lot.

Besides, It seems long and it’s not that I’m not very good at first.

And something, something….

I couldn’t last long and pushed Eugene away from me. Obviously, Eugene must have noticed my condition.

But the next moment, the arm surrounding my body became harder for some reason.

“Oh, brother?”

Even as I called, Eugene even buried his head deeper above my nape.

“Ah, Aa, I, I wish you could stop..”

A stuttering voice leaked out from my mouth. As I think, now I was very embarrassed.

“Nope.”

But Eugene refused my request. I was just more embarrassed than ever before because I didn’t know he would answer like this.

“Why….”

“I think it’s still not enough.”

My ears were tickling because of the voice ringing from my back.

I was about to die.

My heart seemed to be heard by Eugene as It start jumped and started jumping without stopping.

I couldn’t even breathe properly, because I seemed to catch him with my agitation.

But Eugene didn’t know my conditon and still held me tight.

“Don’t do that and let me go…”

“You didn’t let me go when I asked you to.”

Oops, at that moment, I wanted to see if this was a revenge of the old days from him.

Strange. It’s really weird.

If it were the original Eugene, he would have avoided it even if I tried to catch him.

“Hugging once like this is better than I thought.”

Suddenly his hand passed through my back.

“Yes, I didn’t know it before, but it’s not bad.”

The voice that flowed gently as if he knew my troubles seemed to soothe me. The hand touching my head was very friendly.

His face is invisible that his expression is not visible as I thought so.

Uh, for some reason, I felt like I was very pretty held by Eugene, so I felt strange.

So as I being touched and held by him, for some reason my body became languishing, so I began to relax slowly.

I still felt that the current situation was a bit strange, but the thought of, ‘What if I wanted to do it?’ passed my mind.

However, such a comfortable feeling did not last long.

Is it because of the mood?

When It seemed that the touch that touched me from a moment I couldn’t seem know exactly, have changed slightly.

Somehow his movement of skimming the back of my head and my back diligently dug into my senses.

At the same time, the temperature of Eugene and the air surrounding me gradually changed.

I was confused and questioned in a more intense silence than before.

Great.

“Brother, are you here?”

At that moment, the sense that had been flying away came back.

Erich’s voice came from outside.

When I shriek, Eugene comforted me, and he put his back on my ears and gently shouted “Sshh”.

I tried to raise my body, but I couldn’t help it because his arms around my waist weren’t released.

Did I lock the door when I entered the room earlier? It could not have been.

I was so nervous that Erich would open the door and come in right now. He will, think too, our posture is a little….

….no, it’s a little strange, right?

Eugene pretends not to be in the room as it is and not intend to return Erich’s call from the outside. He did not answer the incoming call.

“Brother? You’re not in the room?”

Still, I couldn’t be restless and twisted my body and try to ask him to let me go as Eugene looked at me.

I quickly got up from his knees, stepped back, and hit the table.

When he heard a rattling sound inside, Erich, who was outside, once again said and called Eugene,

“Brother?

Unlike me, who has struggling, Eugene calmly gets up from his seat and approaches the door.

Soon after he opened the door, Immediately, a mysterious voice flew.

“Uh, what is it? You were in the room? But why didn’t you answer?”

“I didn’t hear you because I was focusing on documents that need to deal with urgently. Why?”

“No, I don’t see Hari, so I wonder if she’s with you, and she said she might be in your room?”
