Chapter 40 - You can’t eat the candy without doubting my intentions (2/2)

Ricdorian, you can’t just eat the candy without any doubt.

“From now on, you have to be vigilant and careful. You can’t eat what others give you, especially medicine and drugs.”

Yes, I wanted him to eat this treat in order for me to say the spell, but he needs to be aware that there are evil people out there and that he shouldn’t trust too much.

I sighed. It’s just a candy, though.

Frustrated, Ricdorian stammered.

“Ea…Eating that.. I’ll be fine.”

“Of course not. What if I’m a bad person?”

“But…”

Wait. Why are you looking at me like that?

His gaze that seemed to contain the color of the sea caught me. I flinched at his glistening eyes, wherein his tears looked like it were about to fall the moment he blinks.

“…are you going to hurt me?”

Ba-dum. Ba-dum.

My heart throbbed rapidly as if it had its own instinct.

He was already soaked with his sweat, but still, his beautiful face covered that imperfection. The shackles in his hands under that sacred face evoked a stimulating imagination.

I immediately lowered my face, what am I thinking. I am not a pervert!

“You didn’t hit me, you didn’t beat me to pulp. You didn’t break plates…well, you always give me something delicious!”

“But you can’t just trust me. Haven’t you ever heard of the saying ‘Today’s friend is tomorrow’s enemy’?”…He just shook his head.

Oh, maybe there’s no such thing as that in here.

While agonizing, Ricdorian, who just answered me, tilted his head.

“You can… hit me.”…What? What is he talking about?

With a puzzled look, I raised my head and stared at him.

“… who’s gonna hit who?”

“Bu…but last time…”

“You still remember that joke? You’re such a persistent man!”

He always takes jokes seriously.

I shook my head, then this time, stared at him with a ludicrous look. Not long after, I put the candy in his hand, hoping that time would pass. I need to get out soon because the atmosphere’s getting weird.

“Let’s just say I am not dangerous today. Next time, don’t trust me easily. Anyway, eat this. We don’t have time.”

Ricdorian: “…”

“You hear me, right? Do you understand?” He nodded.

I guess he’s not turning into a beast anytime today.

I saw his fingers grabbing me, but I pretended not to know.

I prepared the candy because I didn’t know if the magic created by Jair would hurt Ricdorian. To boot, I brought it because I thought it would be much better for Ricdorian to bite something sweet while I perform the magic.

With his hands up, Ricdorian put the candy in his mouth without hesitation. He put his hand on his cheek as he sucked the candy.

I felt strange at this sight. How could he eat that without even doubting my intentions?
