Chapter 428 – Unknown Sensation

“···?”

Atra was puzzled. Jelly rolling on the bed next to her own.

But something in my arms. She questions it and moves her hand slightly.

Hair coming between her fingers.

It is short and strong to be considered a woman, and its flowing breath is hot and harsh.

– Even in my dreams… I’m so greedy…

– It’s cuter than jelly…?

‘Ah.’

And a happy dream passed through her head.

The nightmare has already volatilized, leaving behind only the name Nightmare, but on the other hand, there is a memory that remains clearly.

The moment I massaged Roman’s face until he relaxed.

‘···.’

Although situations like the present are extremely rare, Atra’s condition itself is common in the world.

As a person lives, whether it is a positive or a negative path, she encounters situations that leave her speechless and her head at a standstill.

She gets caught lying, or she spreads her sophistry and gets refuted with the correct opinion, or she hears news that is so surprising that it takes time to accept the reality.

There are many situations that cannot be listed in full in print alone.

Just like that, Atra has had many experiences that have left her speechless.

But.

It was the first time that her mouth had been so tightly shut that she couldn’t even move.

‘No way, no way, no way, no way.’

Sky blue eyes staring at the ceiling of the room did not have the courage to look down.

Her head stopped thinking. Refusing to face reality.

“Uhm…”

A low voice comes from below as if telling you to check and not avoid.

Although she felt relieved because it was a familiar voice, she was overcome with shame that made her stop breathing.

“Hueum···.”

Her head, pillowed on her own breast, moved slightly with her breathing.

“Hi!”

An unknown sensation as if an electric current were passing through.

Atra was startled by the voice she had spoken without realizing it.

‘W-what?!’

She gritted her teeth and held back something that was about to escape between her lips.

At the same time, heat began to build up in her face.

‘What should I do?’

She slowly rolls her eyes, loosening her grip on the girl she was holding, thinking it was jelly.

At the same time, black hair that proves to be Roman comes into view. It looks really awkward and uncomfortable.

It felt so dangerous that if I moved even a little, I would fall under the bed.

Roman’s large body was sitting in the corner of the large bed, which was large enough for three adults to sleep comfortably.

Roman also seemed to be asleep, with his eyes closed.

Atra flinched as her breath flowed through her fabric, and she wondered how to deal with the situation.

The answer is simple.

If you make a big movement, wouldn’t Roman, who has sensitive senses, open his eyes right away?

Although Atra herself is well aware of the terrible pain of being forcibly awakened from sleep. Although she was aware of the awkward atmosphere that would arise immediately after it happened.

She couldn’t help it now.

She felt like she was going to break down if she continued like this, a sensation she was experiencing for the first time.

‘Do!’

She makes up her mind.

She moved her hand and stroked her jet black hair.

Even though it was an extremely bold move in Atra’s mind, Roman did not wake up.

No matter how many times you do it, it’s the same. As we continue, Roman seems to be sleeping more comfortably.

‘A little bit like a baby?’

What fills my heart is a strange sense of satisfaction or excitement.

The rationalization that he sees as an act of waking Roman up clashes with the feeling of happiness that makes the corners of his mouth rise uncontrollably.

Atra observed while stroking Roman and was smiling without realizing it.

‘Come to think of it···.’

Tracing her thoughts, she found something strange. She sees Roman for the first time, whom she has been keeping an eye on ever since.

Even though I couldn’t believe it, I became more cautious than ever before when I touched her hair.

‘Is this your first time falling asleep?’

Roman didn’t show any signs of taking care of his sleep to the extent that people thought that was the case.

They may have been sleeping when they got their own rooms, but considering Roman was concentrating on his name as an escort, well.

“···.”

At this point, Art is starting to worry.

She wonders if it is right to wake Man Hae-man just because she is embarrassed by her situation.

Go one step further.

She wonders if Roman’s condition will improve if she holds on. Isn’t this also a kind of good deed?

‘It can’t be helped, right? Is that it?!’

She thinks so as an answer to herself and hugs Roman’s head.

“Hi…”

Does Roman’s breath have a special skill that activates when it touches the skin?

A tickling sensation that makes his breathing difficult comes and he rubs his thighs together.

The tips of his toes curl and his hips move slightly.

Roman’s face moves slightly as he exhales.

Atra thumped her bed with her heel, her breath coming out disheveled.

“Huh…!”

A moan that he couldn’t hold back came out and he hugged Roman’s head tightly.

Atra lowered her head with the thought that she had been hugged too much.

“”···.””

Roman, who was trapped in her breasts, raised his head and made eye contact.

··
··

“Atra-sama… I’m sorry.”

“Oh, no! What am I really going to tell you… I thought it was a dream too!”

Atra felt her throat tighten as they exchanged words in an awkward atmosphere.

Atra said that she felt a sense of alienation as she struggled at the borderline where she couldn’t tell whether it was reality or a dream.

She then made an excuse saying that she opened her eyes around the same time.

She wondered if Roman had been awake ever since she started making strange body movements based on her instincts.

A feeling resembling fear hovered in her chest.

“It’s my fault for saying the wrong thing without thinking deeply. It may sound like an excuse, but I waited until my strength was gone and tried to escape somehow, but even after several hours…”

“I am well aware of my sleeping habits, having heard them from Majella… And I also know very well that I had no ill will toward her brother…!”

Atra spoke up, her complexion looking like bubbling lava.

If I said any more, I felt like she would lose her mind and faint from her shame.

Atra avoids her eyes and looks fidgety and helpless.

Roman also kept his mouth shut.

“···.”

“Brother. Can’t we end this here…?”

Since memories cannot be erased, it means that we should stop mentioning them verbally.

It may seem like a one-way street here, but it was hard to erase the feeling that each of us was guilty of something against the other.

“I understand. I will do as Atra says.”

“Thank you. Please do me a favor…”

Nodding his head in apology one last time, Roman scratched his head and changed the subject.

“Would you like to eat first? I will help you with your work.”

No matter how sly Roman was, it would have been more awkward if he had avoided the situation and then ran into him.

For now, I thought I would stay by his side and see if there was an opportunity to lighten the mood.

“Well, I’m not hungry when I wake up… I want to send a letter while I’m going out to eat, but is it okay if I finish my work first?”

“Of course. You can do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

Atra got up from the bed and sat down at the table.

Roman tidied up the bedding, filled a cup with water, and handed it to Atra.

“Thank you···.”

“Is there anything I can do to help you while Atra writes your letter?”

Roman, standing behind Atra, who was gulping down water, spoke.

“As you know, I have bad handwriting, so it’s hard for me to help with paperwork, but I’m pretty good at simple organizing and sorting.”

Atra’s mind flashed back to the time when they were processing the information they had received from Varian.

Roman, who was helping with the cleanup with a more serious expression on his face than anyone else, showed extremely bad handwriting.

Atra, remembering the fact that there was something even Roman couldn’t do, showed a faint smile.

“Just protecting it is enough.”

As the wind blew to drive away her awkwardness, Atra caught the current.

Atra, who burst out laughing at Roman’s words that she would fulfill her responsibilities, grabbed her pen.

‘My head is clear.’

It’s like a blue sky without a single cloud.

I don’t know how long it’s been since my physical condition was this good.

Considering the forced march I had undertaken so far, I would have felt sore for a few days.

It was so different from usual.

As I rotated her shoulder and moved her pen, a crunching sound filled the room.

Atra quickly finished composing her letter to send to Majella.

She took out the next piece of stationery to write something to send to her church a second time.

What was most fortunate was that the silence with Roman wasn’t that awkward.

I didn’t know that laughing at each other while remembering bad handwriting would lead to such a big change.

‘Next.’

I finished the second letter at an incredibly fast pace and the long-awaited final chapter.

Draft of the church’s position statement in case a ceasefire is reached.

It is important to establish a framework for this in advance.

Art Ragaro muttered so that Roman, who was contemplating her first line, could hear.

“The truce… It really feels like a dream. It may be too early to realize it, but it’s hard to believe that it’s even being mentioned.”

“So do i.”

“···.”

Atra chewed her lower lip at her fleeting thoughts.

I hesitated.

I wanted to naturally continue from here. Her own past history that she did not reveal to others.

Rather than wondering how Roman would react, I wanted to vaguely inform him.

She wished she knew herself a little better.

‘Still, my personal life…’

The prevailing thought was that it should not be done because it was a business-related relationship.

Atra’s own mouth was already moving beyond her control.

“Brother.”
