Chapter 207 – Darling Darling Darling (1)

In March, the new semester at Parenzia Academy began.
This was possible because the leaders of the royal family, the Academy, and Parencia came together immediately after the end of the war to quickly resolve the situation.

While the royal family cleared out the remaining remnants of the Demon World with the help of the Alliance and Roshoar, the Ruhilen family focused on recovering from the damage.
Generous expenses were poured into rebuilding the city that collapsed due to the invasion of demons.
Thanks to those efforts, Parenzia Academy was able to open the semester safely.
Most of the students who had left for various places also returned.

“Here’s a bundle of Litweis test papers!!”
“How much is a Magic Cube?”

From 3rd graders about to graduate, to 2nd graders who have just been promoted, and to new 1st graders.
Students from all walks of life gather in one place.
A small three-story building located in the center of a pentagon reminiscent of the Pentagon.
Parencia Academy’s only canteen was packed during lunch time today as well.

“Please give me three canteen bread.” “Something warm.”
“Me too. Please double wrap it.”

Even the store’s popularity has increased significantly compared to the previous year, so much so that even tourists visiting Parencia stop by.
This was because you could see two of the five archdukes, the best wizards in Penheim, and even had a plaque like this posted there after the war.

“Hey… ?”
“Stay here.”

However, despite the long line of guests and fans flocking to her, Adela’s expression remained gloomy.
The reason was that Lewis, who was said to have completed all work in the Demon World, went missing.

“Senior Liv, if you don’t mind, can I get your book signed?”
“Huh? Okay.”
“Ouch! Thank you!!”

Moreover, Liv next to me had the same resolute attitude as usual.
What has changed is that the hair has become longer than before and has reached the length of the skirt.
I cleaned the store in place of Lewis, who always disappeared while thinking about something, and fed the iron dogs iron brought from the blacksmith shop.
It was a beautiful piece of iron that sparkled in silver.

“…”
“… What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing.”

It has been a few days since the letter arrived informing us that the rice paddy trade in the royal capital had ended.
A letter sent to the store’s mailbox simply stated that, at Lewis’s request, Adela had revised an arcane law that was difficult to understand.
As anxiety was growing, a rumor began to circulate in Parenzia.

The story was that the head of the Ruhilen family had disappeared without a sound.

***

Darling’s patience was at its limit.
She could no longer tolerate Lewis’ careless behavior.
Excluding his former colleagues, among the women currently by Lewis’ side, she was the one who had known him the longest.
They met since they were young and relied on each other, and that relationship did not change even after learning the truth about their parents’ deaths.

Because the mind of Lewis, whom she had been protecting all along, was quite unstable.
He did not have any complaints about developing deep relationships with those who could heal him.
Even though the stamp on the marriage certificate was annulled, the two weasel-like grand dukes took advantage of the war’s end to get the marriage passed by snatching it.
Still, Lewis had declared something with his own mouth, so I patiently waited.
But–

“Have you come to your senses?”
“Viscount… ? What the hell is this place…”

After the war ended and Saint Caroline returned to the Holy Kingdom, he immediately left for the Demon World.
No explanation was given anywhere for having a ceremony with two women.

Where is that?
The day after returning to the royal capital, he held Esther’s hand and ran out of the banquet hall, literally turning the royal family upside down.
The sorcerer of New Moon, who was reading fortunes in Thessalon, said that the princess was in danger of dying from overwork, so he gave her some medicine.

During that time, he did not send a single letter to himself as he was languishing in his room worrying about Louis, who had gone to the demon world.

“Lewis, you owe me a huge debt. Do you admit it?”
“Uh, um…”
“My courageous confession was ignored and the season changed. Also, didn’t you pay for the treatment costs incurred when you were on the brink of death?”
“That…”

I had no intention of receiving it, though.
For Darling, the problem wasn’t just small amounts of money.

A promise to repay your confession once the war is over?
Or a serious story about marriage?
Even if we have already passed that period, it has already gone too far.

“I didn’t pay my debt properly and stuck the IOU in the corner of the drawer. As time goes by, people become more and more mistaken. “If you turn your eyes away from the truth, it becomes like it never happened.”

So Darling decided to use the strongest move without hesitation any longer.

“However, a good merchant does not forget the value of something, even if it is only three pennies.”
“Hmm, I didn’t forget. Someday I will slowly…”
“In what way? “Roshiar is a military group with no magic tower and only a large land area, and you have already received compensation from the royal family in another way?”
“…”

As she established her family as a merchant, she remembered the family motto that was deeply engraved in her heart.

“I don’t need money. Instead… “She gets something else, too.”

There is only one thing Ruhilen wants.
It’s just something she doesn’t have yet.

***

The place where they were secretly escorted by carriage was a structure familiar to Lewis, but unfamiliar to Darling.
Furniture and fixtures modeled after the second floor of the concession stand and a space within the Lighthouse of Horus.
It was a specially designed room that Darling put a lot of effort into.
Some props were made directly at a blacksmith shop, but some were secretly stolen from the production site.
In other words, as long as he is here with the scent of home, he has no need to go outside at all.

“That… “I understand, so can I clear this up and tell you?”
“I don’t like it.”

Lewis’s hands were chained and pinned to the ceiling.
Of course, he knew very well that this kind of restraint meant nothing to him.
The reason he appears somewhat intimidated is simply because he admits that he has been too indifferent up until now.
But if he crosses the line, he too will not wait any longer.

“This is punishment for hurting yourself. “If you break it off on your own, you will hate it for the rest of your life.”
“…”

So Darling decided to appeal to that sympathy.
Especially in front of him, I even took off my gloves.
Surprisingly, the acting that revealed his bitter inner self worked well for the weak-hearted Lewis.

“If you follow my instructions, I will increase your chain little by little. There is no need to repay the debt. “How is it?”
“… “Do whatever you want.”
“Good. “Then the contract is concluded.”

Finally, everything is ready.
All that remained was to get his hands on him.

“Just stay there and watch.”

Knock, knock.

Darling slowly removed the clothes on his body one by one in front of Lewis.
He put away his red brimless hat and took off the cape from his shoulders.
Then he slowly unbuttoned her buttons one by one.
The luxurious coat and shirt that he usually wrapped himself in were neatly folded and placed next to him.
Below the collarbone exposed between the pure white tank top and underwear.
Beautiful curves were drawn that were swollen out of proportion to her height.

“Oh, is it better to leave this as is?”
“…”

Next, Darling, who had his UGG boots neatly lined up, placed his hand on the black stocking and removed it.
Strangely enough, Louis couldn’t resist putting his shoes on the bed.
Even though her socks were uncomfortable, the stockings didn’t seem to matter, so she put on her lighter clothes and stepped out onto her bed.
She then sat cross-legged on Lewis’s body, facing him.

“So our eye level is similar.”
“Iknow, right…”
“But it’s not enough.”
“Yes?”

Darling knew all about Louise’s character, her behavior, her hobbies, her tastes, and even the fact that she boarded the carriage that set off from her city of Edanbury late at night.
She could also guess why she was late in replying, citing the war and a visit to the royal capital as an excuse.

‘I guess I still feel rejection.’

He is too soft-hearted to shake off his sense of debt to his ancestral Ruhillen family.
Also, it is not easy to change the long-term relationship that has been with her since she was young.
Although she was born with beautiful looks even without grooming, Darling had no interest in marriage or dating, and was extremely reluctant to expose herself.
High-end clothing with gloves, hats, stockings, and various temperature control magic built in.
Regardless of the season, the only area where skin was exposed from head to toe was from the top of the neck to below the bangs.

But it was different now.

Pure white armpits, collarbone.
The waist, navel, and upper part of the silence followed of the red skirt were exposed under the thin fabric that was made to float thanks to the breasts.
Even though she was short, the color contrast was enough to show off her charm as a woman.

Also, Darling was the first to notice that Lewis felt peripheral affection for her breasts.
Simply biting a soft piece of flesh is something only the underdogs would do.
She placed a pillow under her hips to make up for her lack of height and leaned her body against him, almost covering him.

“Ugh… !”
“Stay still, stay still.”

He rests her lower breast against his nose and lets himself be bathed in the deepest body odor.
It was a body that had been pampered for ten years with the highest quality perfumes and bath salts.
The scent of the lily of the valley, which was his favorite among the flowers whose seeds ‘accidentally’ flew in and sprouted near the concession stand.
It was also essential to gently stroke the back of the head and earlobes to avoid touching the wounds on the palms.

“Take a deep breath. What do you think? Is she starting to see herself as a bit more of a woman now?”
“… !”

Softly.
But I never let go easily.
Little by little, Darling felt the area between her cleavage where Lewis’ hot breath was touching her become uncomfortable.

“Tsk… !”

And finally, when something began to rise between her legs that could be felt even on her pillow, she slowly released her breast.

“Haha…”
“The expression on your face is worth seeing.”

Squeak!
Her chains trembled violently once.
Anyone who looked at him had a face that looked like he was lusting after him.
An expression that makes you want to get rid of all the remaining clothes right away.
However, there is still a hint of hesitation.

“Look at this.”
“What is that… ?”

At this point, Darling took out an object that would break his last self-control.
What came out of the pocket was a small pink pill.

“No way…”
“Store owner, what do you think of yourself?”

For a moment, Darling’s eyes turned cold.
For her, as a merchant, her time was gold.
Would you turn this valuable time into the possession of irrational beasts by relying solely on stimulants?
Not only was it questionable whether he would be able to get through to Lewis in the first place, but he wouldn’t do such an undignified thing.

“It’s dangerous in a different way than that.”
“Yes… ?”
“It’s poison. “If you put it in your mouth for 30 minutes, the coating will melt and cause you to die in terrible pain.”

Is he really trying to feed himself? A suspicious expression.
But before he could react, Darling swallowed the medicine.
Then he silently turned over the hourglass and set the time.

“Oh no, I ate it.”
“… !!”

Grumble.
The chain on one hand loosens a little and regains a little freedom.

“If I don’t make you vomit, you will die, right?”

Her little mouth opened in front of Lewis. Opening his mouth, Darling laughed like a goblin.
