205 Consequences (1/2)

Consequences.

Every action one took resulted in consequences. It might be something good or something bad but there was always a consequence. However, Linri didn't think that the consequence this time wouldn't be this bad.

He had only wanted to get lucky and the result? Well, his guardian beast almost died and he wasted more than half his prana so he wouldn't be able to participate in the next fight. Fucking great!

I mean was it really such a bad thing to want to have a lucky encounter? Yeah, sure. He didn't deny the fact that wanting to see Silfy get naked was something scummy. After all, he would be taking advantage of her when she was vulnerable. But did it warrant this much of a consequence?

He felt like this was unfair to him. What was wrong with just having fun? Did it have to always turn into a great life and death fight? Was the world really so unfair? Of course, it was! No two souls were born equally.

Some people were born with golden spoons in their mouth and didn't have to so much as a sweat to get anything they wanted. But there were also people who were born into the dumps of society and just getting through that day alive was already a great accomplishment for them.

Then what about him? He was born into a family that wasn't too rich or too poor. He didn't do anything wrong and just lived his life like an average person in every imaginable way. Even though they were fake he had friends. Even though he didn't love her he had a fiancé. Even though he didn't see any future in it he had a diploma and possibly a job.

So why was it that he was thrown into this world? Just because he wanted to escape the reality of his mediocrity and play a dumb make-believe game? Just because he was an edgy teenager who tortured his own character because it made it cooler? Why? This didn't make any sense.

How could just playing a game would result in this consequence? What kind of a twisted mind can even imagine that? He was sure that even in the light novels he read there wasn't such an absurd idea.

”Lil bro!” A blond comet dashed into Linri while he was trying to rationalize his attempt at peeking Silfy's naked body.

Before you ask yes. All that self-pitying was just him trying to justify his actions. Trying to justify that he had earned the right to peek at a naked woman. He was good at manipulating people so obviously he was an expert at manipulating his own thoughts so that he wouldn't feel any guilt.

”You finally got your ears and... tails?” said Chesa while touching his ears.

”Stop that,” said Linri and slapped Chesa's hands. Ugh, his ears were sensitive and he didn't like people touching them. It felt weird and somewhat uncomfortable.

”What? are you too good to let your own big sis pat your head now that you became an adult?”

Linri rolled his eyes before answering.

”When did I ever let you pat my head?” Honestly, there weren't a lot of people he couldn't handle having a conversation with. Unfortunately, Chesa was one of those select few who could throw him off.

”Hm? Are you telling me that you will defy your big sis?” said Chesa while looking directly into his eyes.

”Yes,” said Linri and stared back.

”...”

”...”

”...”

”...”

”...”

”... Stop looking at me like that!” said Linri. He was feeling extremely uncomfortable due to Chesa's stare.

”Like what?” Chesa kept looking at him.

”Stop undressing me with your eyes!” said Linri. If this was how a woman felt whenever someone looked at her with lust, he was really sorry for them. Heck, he might even become a feminist to protect their rights. No one should suffer like this!

”Hm? Did I do anything of the sort?” Chesa played dumb and kept staring at him.

Linri was feeling like ants were walking all over his body. WTF was going on!? She shouldn't have any ability so this was just pure mental pressure. Then why did he feel like that? It was not bragging or anything but he was sure that he had a pretty high mental strength.

If he were to give an example he could only think of one. Actually, this might really sound familiar to you if you have a sibling close to your age. Do you know when your sibling brings their finger so close to your face and then keep it there? Like they were about to poke you but instead, don't and just keep the finger there extremely close to your face? Even though you asked them to stop doing that they would be all like; what? I didn't do anything!

The end result? You would call your parents to make them stop. The problem was Chesa and Linri weren't real siblings and Linri didn't have any parent that he could call! Well, not yet anyway. Arkady should be coming in a couple of days once The False God event was over.

Honestly, Linri was really excited to meet with Arkady's guardian beast. Maybe he could even ask Arkady's opinion about how to better raise Wox?

Linri pulled back into reality when Chesa moved closer. She was still staring at him. FUCK!!!!!!

”What's it gonna take to stop you?” Linri asked in a defeated manner. The only way he could see himself coming out of this was; a- beat the shit out of Chesa which was out of the question, b- run away which was also out of the question since he wasn't sure if he could outrun her or lastly c- just give in for now and live to fight another day...

”Petting your ears!” said Chesa in a victorious manner.

”No way! Absolutely not! Over my dead body!” Linri denied that suggestion vehemently.

”Too bad! That's the only thing I want. Don't worry I know it's your first time so I will be gentle”

You will be what!!? Ugh, since I can't seem to defeat her in a battle of words how about using fire to fight fire with fire?

”Fine but only if you let me pet yours first,” said Linri smugly. He was sure that-

”Okay!”

-Chesa wouldn't agree... Fuck!

”Hold on! Hold on! Are you sure you want me to do what? I mean isn't your ears sensitive and stuff?” Linri tried to think of a way to escape this predicament.

Chesa just shrugged.

”Who knows? No one dared to touch my ears before” said Chesa.

”THEN WHY IN THE UNHOLY NAME OF HELL ARE YOU LETTING ME TOUCH THEM!!????” Linri couldn't hold it in anymore and just shouted at Chesa. She wasn't bothered by this.
