Chapter 84 – / 84

‘What is this ridiculous situation…’
Minwoo was looking at the two people, specifically Luna’s behavior her her, with a puzzled expression.
Just like he had done with Viscount Shelton and Lyne in the past, he had placed a hypnosis on the two people so that they would not be recognized. However, this hypnosis is not perfect, and if you do too much, it will break down. For example, touching two people.
In other words, if you want to remain invisible, you have no choice but to watch.
“…”
Since he didn’t have any intention of doing anything with the two right away, it didn’t really matter… But Minwoo never dreamed that Luna would act like this.
‘Well, for now… Let’s take it easy and enjoy it.’
Luna’s behavior was certainly unexpected, but she didn’t particularly dislike it. Minwoo quietly watched what Luna did, like a teacher checking how well her student had learned.
“Huh..! Lu, Luna..!”
Marie, who was in the victim’s position, would have no complaints. It may not have been the shape I wanted, but it might be able to calm my heated body.
…
“Those two people… They looked a little different than usual, maybe it was their mood.”
Ares tilted his head at such questions as he hurried away from the hot springs. Did Marie make a mistake with Luna? Or maybe she saw that she was trying to push herself when she was sick.
“Well, if I leave it to Luna, there won’t be any problem.”
Luna is not good at expressing her emotions, but knowing that she is a trustworthy friend of hers, Ares decides to put aside his concerns about Marie.
“Anyway… What happens now?”
They told the two that it was okay, but in reality, Ares was not fully relieved of his fatigue. Is it because day and night are not clear inside the labyrinth? I can’t sleep well either. Normally, he would have fallen asleep as if he were dead from exploring the labyrinth… But Ares was feeling awkward as it was his first holiday.
“This is it, Won, it’s not easy to rest.”
While muttering that, Ares started walking blindly down the street. The safety area was quite large, so it was perfect for a walk or a look around.
Soon, Ares arrived at a place as if he was being led.
“Is this… The place where Mr. Minwoo gives massages?”
I don’t know much, but I heard that Sera and Luna are always indebted to me.
“Right now… “I guess there’s no one there.”
I went closer to the tent and listened, but I couldn’t hear any special sounds. I don’t know how much time it takes to get a massage… But since everyone would normally have been deeply asleep, the massage must have already finished.
“Excuse me… Um, I guess there’s no one here.”
Was I feeling a little more excited than usual? Ares did something he normally wouldn’t have done.
Ares could not overcome his curiosity and entered the tent.
“Wow… It’s like this.”
The scenery inside the tent made Ares feel as if he had returned to modern times, just as the other children felt. Some unknown instruments and medicine bottles were provided, and simple chairs and beds were visible. However, I didn’t feel like I was popular.
“Huh..? This curtain…Is there another space inside?”
At a glance, Ares noticed that the curtain was drawn as if there was a separate space on the other side, so he inadvertently lifted it and looked inside.
“Hot..!?”
After looking inside, Ares hastily closed the curtain again.
Sarah was found lying inside.
“I’m sorry…! I thought there was no one there…”
Ares was embarrassed and apologized, but no answer was heard from the other side.
“…”
Soon Ares realized that Sarah was sleeping.
‘Right. After getting a massage, you just sleep here.’
In that case, it is understandable that Se-ra is alone without Uncle Min-woo.
“But… Even though it’s a safety area, wouldn’t it be dangerous for her to sleep alone like this?”
It might seem like he was worrying for nothing, but Ares was thinking about such things and pacing around outside the curtain, unable to do anything. But soon he realized he was doing something stupid.
“What am I doing? Let’s go and get some sleep.”
It was when Ares was about to leave the tent.
“Ares…”
“..!”
Sarah’s voice came from the other side of the curtain. Because it was very faint, Ares momentarily wondered if he had heard wrong, so he listened quietly again.
“Ares…”
He hadn’t misheard. Ares moved closer to the curtain again. However, unlike before, he did not remove it.
“Sera. Did you call me?”
“…”
No answer comes back. Ares carefully pulled back the curtain. It may have been a long time since I only saw a glimpse earlier, but Sarah was covering herself with a blanket, so it wouldn’t have been rude for her to just catch a glimpse.
“Sera..?”
“…”
Sarah was still lying in bed. Her eyes are closed. The area where her breasts were located was seen moving up and down regularly.
“Could it be… Is this just sleep talking…”
It was correct. Sarah was still asleep. She simply called Ares in her sleep.
Ares laughed helplessly and went through the curtain. Sarah was definitely sleeping.
“Anyway, you’re calling my name in your sleep… What kind of dreams are you having?”
Still, the fact that she was appearing in Sera’s dream did not feel bad in itself, and Ares smiled happily and watched Sera for a moment. But soon he thought it was rude for her to just watch her sleep, so he tried to get out of her curtain again.
It was that time.
“Ares… I like you…”
“..!”
Still a faint voice. But I didn’t hear it wrong this time either.
“Ares… Please… Look at me… I too… I will become a woman of your taste… I will become a mature woman…”
“…”
Numerous thoughts began to cross Ares’ mind his.
…
In fact, she was Ares, who was often said to be oblivious to those around her, but that did not mean she was stupid. She also felt that Sarah had some attraction towards her.
However, there is a possibility that it is just her own illusion. And even if it were true, the thought that the relationship so far and the relationship with everyone might be broken. Because of those things, she was just consciously pretending not to know.
Ares had a so-called ‘good person complex’.
People who are born with good looks, great talent, and an all-rounder tend to be arrogant. But even her personality was kind to Ares. When looking at him, even people who do not believe in the theory of sexual goodness will think seriously about it at least once.
However, even the seemingly perfect combination of outstanding talent and good personality actually had a small problem.
No matter how humble they try to be, outstanding people have no choice but to stand out.
Naturally, many people gather around him.
And when people flock together, conflict naturally arises among human relationships.
Even if Ares himself was not directly involved, people hoped that each other would stand on their side through him.
So Ares had to strive to remain neutral.
In order to maintain neutrality, you must completely avoid revealing your desires. It kills me and elevates others. He gives advice and pretends to take sides, but maintains a sense of distance by not going too deep.
Ares, who had lived this kind of life since he was young, realized at some point that he had become the embodiment of desirelessness.
So when Ares first met Sera, he fell in love with her at first sight, but he kept that fact a secret.
Ares was so used to hiding his emotions that he didn’t even realize it.
“…”
But now, that feeling was about to shake for the first time.
…
“Ares… Please… Look at me… I’ll… Try harder…”
“…”
What are you trying to do? There is no need for her to put any effort into it. Even without doing that, Ares already likes Sarah.
A single tear was falling from the corner of Sarah’s eye. Were her feelings for Ares that strong? Ares felt his heart aching.
Is it really right to continue to ignore her and her her own feelings her like this?
In fact, as Ares crossed into this unknown world, he felt something fateful. She feels as if she is the main character in a story. And the fact that Sarah is also in the story.
But most importantly, here she no longer had people forcing her to remain neutral.
There is only one thing the people of this world want from him.
Defeating the devil.
A simple and clear world.
Ares liked it.
“…”
Although Ares himself did not realize it, he was changing little by little as he lived in this world.
A desire buried deep within his own heart. A heart for yourself, not for others. Iggy.
They were trying to come out little by little.
What became the spark was meeting Minwoo, who, strangely enough, was from the same world.
To be precise, it was while looking at Aisha and Chloe, whom he was very attached to.
How great it would be if I could be honest about my feelings like that.
“Sera…”
However, he was unable to deal honestly with not only his own feelings but also the feelings of those around him.
There is a girl in front of me who continues to suffer because of that.
“I…”
Eventually, Ares made a decision.
“…”
Ares kissed Sera’s lips while she was sleeping.
It was the biggest deviant act of all he had done since he was born.
