Chapter 165 – The Ancient Magic of Competing With Mass and Speed

Bella started following me like a chick following a mother hen.

“I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Wa, the bathroom? I’ll follow you to the door. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay, but please cover your ears.”

At first, she chased it for a while, then she got tired of it and thought she would quit. But Bella’s words about my anxiety when I’m away were true. The moment she returned from her absence, she could see that her complexion had turned pale.

“Mr. Bella. What is she afraid of?”
“The fishmen. Just like that shark monster, someone else might come to assassinate me. I’ve been almost kidnapped in my life, but it’s the first time I’ve ever been seriously threatened with death.”

Severe anxiety.
It was a phenomenon that Bella had been experiencing since I joined. After being chased for hours by a vicious shark monster, she learns that someone might be trying for her life. It wouldn’t be easy for a powerless office worker to endure fear.

‘The fishmen are aiming for this woman’s life.’

Bella would startle at her noises, which were not her big deal. It would be difficult for her to rest comfortably in the port city, as she would not know if she had many people to protect her.

Realizing she wasn’t joking, I decided to treat her Bella seriously.

7:00 pm.
Unflooded food was left on the shelves of the food storage in the villa.
Two to three days is enough to eat and live in the villa. I cooked in the kitchen with Hannah and prepared dinner for the group. Of course, even in the kitchen, Bella stayed by my side.

“I have a story to tell everyone. I don’t think I should be away from Bella’s side for the time being. I’m having a hard time mentally right now. I guess he’s experiencing anxiety because of the fishman assassination attempt.”

I revealed her Bella’s insecurities to the lovers gathered at the dinner table. Fortunately, Hanna, as well as the lovers, understood her Bella’s circumstances. Being threatened with death by her mysterious fishmen would be an exciting experience for anyone.

“If it’s Bugilma-sama, it can’t be helped. But why do I have to stay by your side? Can’t the three of us take turns escorting?”
“I’m sorry. My heart races when I can’t see Mr. Luke. I think I’ll have to share a room with Mr. Luke when I sleep tonight.”
“Go, the same room? With him?”

I don’t know what she was imagining, but Rebecca’s cheeks turned red. I was equally taken aback by Bella’s bombshell remark about wanting to sleep with her.
It’s not super lucky to share a bedroom with a bewitching black-haired beauty. With the defenseless Bella by her side, I worry if I will be able to suppress her nature as a dream horse.

I asked Bella in a cold sweat.

“Are you okay? Even if I’m by your side?”
“It’s all right, of course. You can lie down right next to the bed. You know very well that Mr. Luke is not a nightmare to do bad things.”

Bella stuttered her words as she placed her hand on her cheek as her face flushed.
How do you know I’m not a dreamer to do bad things? It’s only been a month since we met in person. Is a month enough time to build trust?

“Rebecca, what should I do?”
“That, that’s right.”

Rebecca and Kate listened to Bella’s remarks and chatted together for a while. I thought we would talk for a long time, but unexpectedly, the conversation ended quickly. Rebecca said to Bella with a quick nod of her head.

“I know very well that Luke is a herbivore who can’t eat even if he gives it to him.
“Have you finished talking now?”
“Me, I’m the same! Luke, I’m an herbivore that you can’t give to even if you push me. Every time I recharge my mana before dating, how long have I held back from wanting to just attack you!”

Right!
It can’t be helped if it’s an herbivore man herbivore woman couple.
I nodded and Rebecca looked at Bella.

“Until the end of the escort quest, you can do as Bugilma-nim wants. It’s Bugilma-nim. It doesn’t matter if we share the same bedroom.”
“Yes…”
“Call-.”
“What is Cole?”
“It means consent in the language of the dreamers! Luke taught me.”

Surprisingly, the permission was given without hesitation. As I looked at Bella with my lovers, I noticed something odd. I remember that they weren’t so peaceful until they parted at the temple fifteen days ago.

‘Didn’t you and Bella fight each other?’

Bella, Rebecca, and Kate.
Between the three women, there was a subtle air current that kept me in check. However, when they met again, their relationship changed peacefully before they knew it. I wondered how Bella had managed to let my lovers off guard.

‘What else happened while I was away?’

I wanted to know what had happened, but now wouldn’t be the time to ask. The important thing is that I’ve been able to focus on Bella for 24 hours.

“Then I’ll take good care of you until I return to Yoensuu, Mr. Luke.”

The deadline for 24-hour close escort is not one day, but several days more.
Until Bella gets back to Yoensuu, she insisted. From the employer’s point of view, it’s okay. It’s just sad that she couldn’t recharge her mana well during that time.

“I really enjoyed the meal.”
“I ate well, Mongma-nim!”

After dinner, we parted ways to each other’s place. As long as you spend the night at the villa, you cannot simply play and eat. Each of my lovers went outside the villa and watched the surroundings.

*

What was it that made the war of nerves between them peaceful? I realized the reason shortly after dinner.

“Mr. Luke. It’s kind of weird to say that all of a sudden, but I have a fiancé.”
“Yes? Are you saying you’re engaged?”

It was when I was drinking tea with Bella on the terrace of the villa.
Bella nodded her head as she made her gesture to reassure me.

“Yes-. They got engaged a long time ago. The engagement ceremony was held secretly, so people in the world don’t know that I am engaged.”
“That’s right. I’ve never heard of a rumor that Bella was engaged while working as an adventurer… Somehow, I thought my lovers were comfortable with Bella, but that’s the case.”

I have a fiance!
Then she wouldn’t have Bella conscious of me as her member of the opposite sex. The fact that she made an appointment for a meal together at the temple must have been purely because she wanted to feed him.
However, hearing Bella’s words left me in doubt for a while.

‘She’s not even wearing an engagement ring on her finger? Where did you buy the ring from?’

It has never been heard that Bella got her engaged. Her fingers were always empty, so I didn’t notice any signs of that.

“Ah, I always leave my engagement ring at my company residence in Yoensuu. It’s so luxurious that it’s uncomfortable when I’m working. I can’t read because the jewelry is so dazzling. Ha, haha.”

At my gaze at her fingers, Bella opened her mouth in her panic.

“Your fiancé must be sad.”
“Me, not at all? My fiancé is kind and understands what I do.”

He was a fiancé who was overflowing with consideration for women.
Are you an adult gentleman who always understands her even when she takes off her ring?
I didn’t know who it was, but I felt respect.

“What’s your name? Bella’s fiancé.”
“…Alewis von Weber.”

Seeing that the character ‘Pon’ is attached to his last name, he must be a nobleman.
I decided to be careful with my manners so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Aside from who exactly her mysterious fiancée was, covering up Bella’s insecurities was quite a challenge. I didn’t do much physical labor, but the mental hardship continued.

“I’m going to wash, so please follow me to the bath.”
“Are you asking me to go into the bath?”
“Well, there’s no need to come in. Just watch me wash through the glass door.”

After tea time, Bella took me to her bath on the first floor of her villa. As befits a luxury aristocratic villa, it was a bath equipped with facilities like a large bath.

‘Holly Shack.’

I want you to watch me wash.
It was a stern request to hear only in words, but the time has not come for me to appreciate the naked body of a noble lady. The bathroom glass door is made of an opaque material, so when you look inside from the outside, only a flesh-colored silhouette can be seen through.

“…Come into the locker room, Mr. Luke.”

After Bella undressed her in her dressing room, she went into the bath. As soon as I heard her calling and entered her dressing room, I couldn’t help but blush at her.

“Came.”
“Can you see me?”
“I can’t see everything, just the flesh-colored outline.”

While answering, I glanced over the dressing room shelf.
I could see Bella’s skirts and underwear neatly arranged. Black panties with lace drew my gaze as if tempting. My dream horse instinct asked me to examine the panties more closely, but I tried to look away.

However, it was a problem even when I turned my attention.

Shoot aaaaa-.

I can see Bella washing up near the glass door. Because of the opaque glass material, it looks blurry as if it were mosaic-processed. It is a mosaic that all Korean men can’t help but hate when watching AV.

“No?”

After watching through the glass door for a long time, I experienced a mysterious phenomenon. My highly focused brain started smashing the mosaic. It’s a dreamer whose intelligence rises vertically when doing dirty work.
As if using the camera’s correction function, Bella’s naked body was clearly visible.

Shoot aaaaa-.

Water drips from the pipe connected to the bathtub.
Bella was cascading over her head as the water poured over her naked body. Like a flower in a greenhouse, water flowed down on her immaculate skin without a single blemish.
The water that ran down her breastbone moistened her raw breasts.

‘I have big breasts…’

As she took off her shirt and breastplate, her large breasts were exposed. Pink nipples and pale colored areolas proportional to breast size. My mouth watered because I thought it would taste sweet if I sucked it in my mouth.

The straight black hair that was wet with water made Bella even more colorful. She usually wore her hair tied up, but with her hair untied, she couldn’t look so glamorous.

“Huh.”

I staggered in the grip of anguish. I feel like I’m going crazy because my lower body keeps getting angry. Rather, I was more excited now than when I had Delia make a nude dogeja at the temple.

“Mr. Luke.”

It was then.
I heard Bella’s voice calling me from inside.

“Sue, could you bring me a towel?”
