Chapter 108 – Drunk Talk #5

At first, Rebecca didn’t understand what I meant. He just put on a bewildered expression as if he had heard a joke he didn’t know.
However, as my explanation continued, Rebecca’s face hardened like a plaster cast in an art room.

I did it!
Nothing else came to my mind except that I had done it. As I watched Rebecca’s expression harden moment by moment, my mind turned white like a sheet of paper.
Rebecca looked at me and asked.

“So you’re going to go out with me and at the same time go out with Sister Kate-?”

Rebecca’s pronunciation of “Kate” Was strangely powerful. The voice startled Kate, who was standing next to me, and made her tremble.

“Yes.”

I nodded my head as I swallowed.

“Why?”

Rebecca asked me. Why does it resonate briefly? I didn’t know what answer to bring out. Where the hell am I supposed to start talking? Do I have to get her word out of what Kate confessed to me?

“The relationship between you and Sister Kate didn’t look so good? How the hell did the two of you meet each other? Even though you always made fun of me as a tool.”
“Kuh. A tool year.”

Rebecca didn’t pay much attention to Kate’s teary eyes beside her.
Rebecca was only looking at me.
To convince Rebecca, I had to bring up the story of her orphanage days.

“It turns out. Kate and I were from the same orphanage. She spent her childhood together in the Evergreen Orphanage in Mid-Continent. I didn’t know Kate, but she remembered me.”
“She’s from the same orphanage?”
“Yeah. After talking about our childhood, we got closer and we couldn’t remain friends anymore. Kate had feelings for me too. That’s why I’m telling you honestly. This would be better than keeping the relationship hidden. Like.”

Upon learning of our relationship, Rebecca was silent. She looked pensive in her thoughts with her hand on her forehead.
Kate and I had to stand in the hallway for so long that our legs hurt, but there was no way we could complain.

If you think about it from Rebecca’s point of view, this would be really unbelievable.
I, who had left for the promotion match, suddenly came back with Kate.
However, Kate and I actually come from the same orphanage, and we are close enough to want to date.
It’s not something simple enough to accept right away.

If the answer came back, no, I was going to end her relationship with Kate. Maybe this question will break the relationship between me and Rebecca.
If that happens, I don’t think I’ll ever date a woman again, even if it’s because of her guilt about Rebecca.
I will become a single incubus and spend my old age lonely and die.

“…”

After hearing me
Rebecca opened her mouth after silence.

“Come inside first. It’s a bit like standing in the hallway all the time. People are staring at you.”
“Yes?”

At that, I was startled and looked around. As Rebecca said, in the hallway on the third floor, several residents poked their heads out through the cracks in the door, staring at the three of us.

It was a scene of a dreamer and two women making a fuss from early in the morning. That’s what anyone should be interested in.
Rebecca looked at us and gestured for us to come into the room.

“Sister Kate please come inside too.”
“All right!”

Kate crept into her room, curling up like a mouse in front of her cat.
Of course, I, who had entered before Kate, had the same awkward footwork.

*

“Sit down, both of you. I need to ask you something.”

Rebecca spread soft cushions one by one on the floor. As Kate and I sat down on the cushions, Rebecca sat in front of us facing each other.

Although the cushion was soft, it was actually a thorn cushion. Me and Kate sat in front of Rebecca, embarrassed. Isn’t it several times more tense than a couple who gets permission from their father-in-law?
Rebecca asked me hesitantly.

“Didn’t you say you and Sister Kate became close?”
“Yes.”
“Ho, did you do it? With the nun.”

Did you? What?
After a while I realized what Rebecca was asking me.

She is asking if she did anything dirty.
At that moment, my face lit up. But my embarrassment didn’t mean I was silent about Rebecca’s question.

“I kissed you.”
“Key, kiss?!”
“Yes.”
“Then what else besides kissing?!”
“To the extent of hugging each other or lending a shoulder to lean on.”
“Ugh.”

Rebecca glanced at me with her cheeks flushed.
But before Rebecca could speak her words to me, Kate next to me slammed her forehead into the floor.
Thud! Enough to make a sound.

“I’m sorry Rebecca! It’s all my fault! I seduced the dreamer with my body!”
“The nun seduced Luke?!”
“I want Mongma-nim to be even a little aware of me, so stop! I’m sorry-!”

Rebecca put her hand to her forehead as her hair was messed up. She expected to curse at us, but unexpectedly, Rebecca opened her mouth in a calm voice.

“Anyway, she didn’t have a deep relationship with Sister Kate. Even though she seduced her with her body.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“To be honest, I’m surprised it didn’t go any further than that. I hate to admit it, but Sister Kate is a beauty-. If you’re a lustful dreamer, I guess you could lay her hand on it.”

It was because of Rebecca that I was able to put up with Kate being touched by her.
Because he had released her desires that had built up through her relationship with Rebecca. Besides, there was something that kept popping up in her head.

“It’s not that I wasn’t attracted to you, Rebecca.”
“What?”
“Maybe it’s because of you that I was able to hold back my cravings. I kept thinking of you.”
“Thanks to me? I see.”

Rebecca silently nodded her head. I couldn’t tell from the expression on my face whether he was delighted with my answer or rather angry.
What was certain was that I was glad I didn’t cross the line beyond kissing Kate.
If I hadn’t been able to suppress my desire and attacked Kate, I wouldn’t have been able to lift my head up here.

“Did you ask me? Can I officially date Sister Kate?”
“Yes.”
“I’m glad you asked. Doesn’t that mean I at least have a choice? What to do with that nun who is like a stray cat.”
“Are you a stray cat?”
“It’s a thief cat, right?”
“Yes!”

Bombarded with facts, Kate hung her head in her lethargy.
Rebecca said to the two of us.

“Just give me 10 minutes to think about it.”

Rebecca sat still and crossed her arms.
Then it was Rebecca, who closed her eyes and didn’t even move. The 10 minutes that Rebecca said went by helplessly.
Me and Kate couldn’t help but get nervous watching Rebecca with her eyes closed. I finally realized this, because Rebecca had a curved sword behind her back.
It was just because of the structure of the room that I happened to sit with my back to the curved sword, but my heart trembled.

If 10 minutes have passed!
Couldn’t Rebecca, who had just woken up, perform a sword art with that curved sword?
Maybe we misunderstood the choice as a choice about our lives?
I know Rebecca isn’t that cruel.

Time has finally passed.
Rebecca opened her eyes and looked at me, then she opened her mouth with a determined expression.

“I will allow you.”
“Huh, you’ll let me!?”

I was confused whether I was hearing hallucinations or not. I asked with a glimmer of hope, but I thought I was certain to be rejected. Kate also looked at Rebecca with a surprised expression.

“Are you sure, Rebecca?”
“Yes.”

She answered briefly and Rebecca turned her gaze back to me.

“Luke. You’re a competent adventurer.”

“Women follow a man of ability. If you can take responsibility, it’s better to accept it. Even if the nun who seduced you at will is nasty, it’s better than having a woman you don’t know at all.”

It was the same as when she told the story of her hometown in front of the lake at City Hall. Rebecca’s opinion that a competent man can have women has not changed.

I couldn’t help but admire Rebecca for her consistent appearance.
She thought that humans are creatures that change their minds depending on the situation. She thought that Rebecca might be an exception.

“I’m giving you permission because of your competence! If you were a pathetic man, you wouldn’t even have soup. I would have told you to look at me.”
“That’s right-“

I couldn’t tell if this was a dream or real life.
Rebecca and Kate.
I never thought the day would come when I would date two beauties at the same time. Even with permission that it’s good for both sides. I, who was born as a lowly dreamer in another world, achieved the man’s romance.

Thud! Unexpectedly, Kate slumped over to face Rebecca.
Her forehead opened as she bowed enough to touch the ground.

“Thank you for allowing me, Rebecca-sama! From now on, I’ll take good care of the dreamer!”
“Yes?”
“I’ll let Mongma-nim walk only on flowery paths. I’ll build happy memories with Mongma-nim!”
“Hey, Sister Kate.”

Rebecca opened her mouth with a trembling expression.

“The two of you, huh? I’m also in a relationship. I’m not saying I’m going to give up on Luke at all.”
“Ah.”

Raising her head, Kate gave a startled expression.

“That’s right, I made a mistake! Let’s make happy memories together, not just two!”
“That’s it.”

Rebecca looked at Kate with an awkward smile. Even when the two first met, Kate was the one who was able to afford it, but the relationship was reversed overnight. I couldn’t even imagine how their relationship would develop in the future.

“I was a little relieved to hear that, though. Sister seems to really like Luke.”
“Yes.”
“What part did you like? The thoughtfulness of taking care of the details?”
“Because I’m considerate and I have a good body.”
“Aha. You look good.”
“Mo, it’s not just a good body! Of course!”

Kate glanced at me and started listing the parts I liked one by one. Whether it was the leadership that led the party members, or the kindness that was not like a dreamer. Other than that, my strengths that I didn’t know about were constantly pouring out of Kate’s mouth.

“I like her pride for not yielding easily to me, her nun.”
“Pride! I like that part too.”

To be honest, I was almost ashamed of myself listening to it. It was even more embarrassing that Rebecca awkwardly chimed in in front of me. The two women exchanged conversations about me for 30 minutes.
Watching Kate’s eloquence, Rebecca nodded her head in agreement at last.

“Okay. I fully understand Sister’s feelings. Then, I have a favor to ask of you because of our relationship. Could you please leave for a moment?”
“Yeah? You mean seats?”
“There’s something I want to say to Luke, just the two of us.”
