Became the Butler of the Second Heroine of the Harem

65 – A Short Time (2)

…Thinking about it, the urge was justified. She didn’t even have time to smell the scent, probably because she was a few steps away from her because it was awkward to be around the lady throughout the semester.

So the scent of the lady I smelled after a long time was so sweet that it couldn’t be compared to vanilla, and it was similar to a fresh citrus scent like fruit.

Intoxicated with the sweet scent that no one else smells, the girl in her arms ran from the shawl-covered shoulders to the pure white nape of her neck.

Perhaps it was because of the location of the artery where the blood flows, the scent that was thicker than anywhere else made me dizzy.

If only I could taste it just once…

“It’s itchy… Take it in moderation…”

Hearing the girl’s trembling voice, I hurriedly fell beside her. When her hazy consciousness barely returned, her whole body stiffened as if her blood had dried up, and she felt a cold sweat flow.

She almost bit the girl’s neck again. That too, of my own will.

She couldn’t see the face of the young lady, so she lowered her head. When I bit her neck, she remembered the young lady’s face and closed her eyes.

“… I’m sorry… She almost bit her neck again.”

She wrote the word sorry again. Her throat choked and her voice cracked. I felt like an idiot for holding the young lady defenselessly. Still, the lady came up to me and said.

“I thought it was okay because I didn’t say anything for a while, but did you hold back?”

“No… That’s not it… She wasn’t around the lady, so she didn’t mind…”

Strangely, when she wasn’t around the girl, she didn’t think about her blood.

What does it have to do with it? When I smelled the smell from other people, there was no reaction…

“Is it okay if you stay by my side?”

She just nodded at the lady’s question. It was as if she was saying that the lady was the cause. She couldn’t bear to get it out of her mouth.

“That’s right…”

For a moment, I felt a chill. When the young lady looked up, she was holding a folding knife in her hand that she hadn’t known when she had taken it out.

…When the hell did you start carrying that? Even when I went to the north, the young lady naturally took out that knife and cut her palm before I had time to dry it.

As he tried to slit his wrist more dangerously this time, he grabbed the hand holding the knife. He cut his finger from grabbing it a little too fast, but he didn’t care.

“…You’re dangerous. Besides, your wrist…”

“It’s better if you lick it anyway. A lot of blood will come out and it will come back…”

“You don’t have to go that far. Like last time, just the palm of your hand is enough.”

“…Okay. You got hurt from holding it harder than that.”

He held my hand with his free hand and carefully examined the wound. I’ve seen those eyes before… No way.

“You can’t lick it.”

A startled young lady. If it’s obvious, I’d say it’s obvious, I couldn’t believe it with those curious eyes, but it was as expected. Still, the young lady did not make eye contact with me and tried to lick the blood flowing from the wound.

“No!”

I hurriedly tried to remove his hand, but I couldn’t get away from the young lady’s grip. As I said before, I was worried that the lady would be wrong, so I screamed and resisted, but I didn’t care and dragged her with force and eventually licked the flowing blood.

As the scarlet tongue licked the wound, a chilling aura rose from his fingertips up his spinal cord. Unlike when I saw something scary, I felt that my peripheral nerves were stimulated… Literally, the lady’s tongue stimulated my nerves.

The moist saliva on the lady’s lips and on my fingertips made a long thread like a spider’s web, then it broke.

With a nervous heart, I asked you not to swallow it, but as if you hadn’t listened to me, you closed your eyes and savored it, then swallowed it in one gulp.

I remembered the day the young lady cut herself and made her drink blood.

…Yes, it was the day I licked it like a dog. No, now wasn’t the time to think about it.

“Are you okay? Are there any places that are itchy or uncomfortable?”

When I was anxious about whether my blood would change, the expression of the young lady who opened her eyes was not very good.

“It’s just the same blood. Ugh…I ate it for no reason.”

As she stuck out her tongue with a crumpled face, the corner of her mouth went up on its own. When the young lady saw my smile, she glared at me with her hatchet eyes as if telling me not to laugh, and she hurriedly lowered the corner of her mouth.

We ended up slitting our palms and licking the blood, just like last time. The girl’s blood, which he drank after a long time, was still sweet.

I licked slowly and carefully so as not to tickle the lady, holding on to my mind so as not to lick it like a dog.

“Looks like you’re good at licking now. It doesn’t tickle like last time.”

“…”

I was ashamed of all the compliments that weren’t compliments, and my face turned red. I didn’t meet her eyes as I wiped her saliva-soaked palms.

She had to be like this every time, so she was smiling as if she was having fun even though it would be a bother for a young lady.

“Come to think of it, have you ever drank someone else’s blood?”

“Um…Probably not.”

“What do you mean there won’t be?

A superstitious girl who puts her face right in front of her nose with her chubby eyes. She was within reach of her real nose if she moved in front of her a little.

“…Just once. On that summer’s day, when she sent a young lady and bit him on the ankle as he passed me, I bit him so hard that he hurt me… Young lady?”

As soon as he heard that it was a summer day, his expression darkened. And the more I listened to my story, the more I tried to get away from her, I grabbed the girl’s trembling hand.

Are you still reluctant to talk about this? Looking at her with slightly trembling eyes, I put her hand on my chest.

“I’m fine now, so please don’t make that face. You’re fine like this.”

“That’s right…It’s not easy to keep thinking that it’s because of me…”

With a sad smile on his face, he stroked the girl’s cheek with his other hand. I didn’t want to make my chubby breasts fall out yet, so I calmed her down and went on with her words.

“Anyway… That’s when I bit his ankle and I think I drank his blood for the first time.”

“How did it taste… Remember?”

“I think the slightly sweet iron taste was better.”

“What is that? It’s strange that it tastes like sweet iron.”

“…It’s true…”

I was telling the truth, but the lady who had been laughing at me slightly moved away and sat down comfortably. Then she lingered and scratched her cheek, her upper and lower lips slowly dropping.

“…Does my blood taste the same?”

“Hmm…The lady’s blood…No other drink…Can’t compare…”

Even though I was talking, I was embarrassed and almost lost my words. Even though I barely explained it, he came up to me with a face that seemed unsatisfactory.

“Why are the tastes different? What is the taste?”

“It’s sweeter than chocolate…And smells like tangerines today.”

The blood of the girl he drank for the first time when he was unconscious had a slightly sweeter scent than the blood of the guy he ate on a summer day. She tasted slightly iron, but not as bad as the blood she had eaten before.

And the blood I drank next was sweeter and smoother than chocolate, and I couldn’t taste the iron.

For some reason, the blood I drank in the North smelled of red berries.

As the days go by, the taste of iron disappears and sweet tastes and other scents are added, so it was like drinking a new drink every time.

…Leaving aside the idea that the lady’s blood was a drink, he was laughing at the reaction.

“It was mean that I was drinking only delicious food by myself.”

“…I will. Would you like some more of my blood?”

“That’s okay. I won’t eat such tasteless blood.”

After she shook her hand and said that it was done, they laughed at each other, and the laughter became a signal flare and they laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, we looked at each other’s faces.

Unlike the breasts that have lost less weight, the eyes that gradually deepen, the bridge of the nose that shows a beautiful curve, and the lips that are small when closed, but open gracefully when you smile.

And with white blonde hair that looks like it has white eyes that reach her waist, and straight blue eyes that you can always see.

She didn’t want to be conscious of it, but when she saw her transforming from a girl into a full-fledged woman, her heart started beating wildly.

From noble mtl dot com

The sound of a heart beating as if hitting the whole body. I wasn’t even ready to receive the lady’s heart yet, but I was already pounding.

I inadvertently stretched out my hand to the young lady, and as if responding to it, I was embarrassed when she held my hand and interlaced it.

“…Sirius…”

Next, I haven’t called my name in a really long time. The lady who built it hadn’t called recently, so the feeling was new.

“Yes, my lady.”

“…I just tried it once.”

I was afraid that my name that he called with a sweet voice and my heart beating like crazy wouldn’t be found out because of my clenched hands.

The hesitant lady approached and opened her mouth once more.

“Sirius…”

“Yes, lady.”

Even though he hesitated so much, he replied with the same words, rather than being frustrated.

“I can’t talk about it yet…But…I really want to. I don’t know when that time will come, but will you wait until then?”

Perhaps it was because the lady herself was not convinced yet, even though she was in the mood to confess right away, she passed it on to the next one.

“Until we become grandparents?”

“…Seriously, do you want to be so super cool?”

When the grip force was applied to the gripped hand, ‘But I don’t think I can stand it if I don’t do this at least.’ I put out what I was about to say and opened my mouth again.

“I’ll always be by your side, so please tell me when it’s convenient for you. I’ll be waiting for you anytime.”

…If the lady had confessed today…Would I have accepted it? Such anxiety was blown away thanks to the body temperature felt by the pods held together.

The lady who approached me with a heartfelt smile must have been a satisfactory answer.

“Yes, I will try not to be late. Support me.”

“…Do your best?”

“Don’t cheer like that soulless.”

He grabbed both cheeks with one hand and pulled them forward. A lady with a pursed mouth and a big smile at my face, which probably looks like an octopus.

…Why do it yourself and laugh at yourself…

In my bed, we passed the time like that, clinging together as usual. Being with the lady for the first time in a while made my anxious mind calm down.

My heart was relieved like a withered flower bloomed after seeing the sun.

…Was I a flower and not the sun?

The northern winter was a harsh season that made even the monsters fall into hibernation.

The northern soldiers who wielded swords, spears, and axes also fought off the cold by lighting a bonfire on the guard post on the wall where the cold wind blows, and the residents of the territory did not come out of their homes.

There were those who walked through the territory, relying on thick robes draped over them in the midst of the winter wind that was as sharp as a knife.

A small group of about 10 people. Despite the severe winter weather, they steadfastly moved their steps and entered a one-story building that appeared to be an inn.

A large fireplace and several bonfires spread over the sand dug in the center of the inn, warming the inn.

The shortest person in the group approached the host and handed him five salt coins.

“Ten people. How long can you stay?”

A young woman’s voice compared to her hard tone. The host, with a long beard and thick clothes, looked over the party.

He couldn’t see his face because his hair was pulled over, but when the woman’s face in front of him was illuminated by the light, a rare beauty was revealed in detail.

The owner, who is a great welcome if you are beautiful, said while stroking his beard.

“You can stay for about 15 days including meals.”

“So please. Room?”

“Each person can go in one by one near the bonfire and rest. It’s a small room, so it’s hard to use more than two people.”

“Okay.”

As I pointed to the room with my hand gestures, the party entered each room with light steps. The short woman who entered the room closest to the campfire last looked around.

It was a small room with only a table and a chair next to a single-size bed that was just right for an adult man’s height, but she seemed to have enough to escape the cold wind, so she locked the door and took off her robe.

Skin as white as snow, shoulder-length short hair of the same color, golden eyes, and pointy ears.

She, her snow fairy who lives in parts of the North, sat astride her bed and murmured.

“…Strange…Luna-sama said months ago that she was definitely in the North…Did you leave already?”

Seemingly lacking in her sense of time, she prayerfully clutched her crescent moon necklace around her neck with both hands.

“Where are you…The one who will lead us…Luna…Guide us by the moonlight…”

She crouched down on her bed, no different from a sincere believer, earnestly praying her prayers.
