I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

63. Day One, Eileen Nord (4)

1.

Shoot ah.

I heard water pouring through the thin plywood door. It was a bonus that misty steam flowed through the cracks in the doors that were too thin for soundproofing.

And Eileen, who looked at the series of scenes with her blank face, thought.

Where am I? Who am I?

Even while I was immersed in contemplation, time was passing savagely. No matter how much she denies reality, and no matter how much she turns her eyes away from the truth at hand, what is already happening will not go away.

“……Ha.”

That’s right.

She was finishing her date with Rudrick. Even in the same room with only one bed. From now on, the two of them were destined to sleep together on that bed, whether they liked it or not. As an old idiomatic expression, the die has already been thrown, just as a die once thrown cannot be taken back.

If there was a bit of reason left, no matter how much Ludrick expressed his consent to the situation, it would be more appropriate to go outside and say that he would sleep in the cold wind and early morning dew.

But it’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m really good…’ ….’ The words of Rudrick, who had been brainwashed, became the final blow. Enough to let go of the string of reason that I was barely holding on to.

‘Good night.’

The image of the innkeeper whistling and giggling flashed into my mind. Maybe there were more rooms left, and the innkeeper might have guessed the relationship between the two and played a bad joke.

But that wasn’t the case now.

“Do you want to wash Aileen too? I washed everything.”

Rudrick opened the door of the bathroom provided in the room and spoke to him while brushing his wet hair with a towel.

Perhaps it was her consideration for the opposite s*x, she didn’t look roughly covered with a piece of cloth or a towel, but came out of the bathroom calmly dressed in her indoor clothes.

“……I guess I’ll have to wash up soon too.”

“Does the hot water work here?”

“……I see, that’s fortunate.”

Rudrick’s words seemed to be casually tossed around without attaching any special meaning to the current situation, whether or not he knew what she was feeling.

The sight of her sitting on the bed and drying her hair with a towel had a strange magic that would draw attention from any woman.

Eileen, who glanced at Rudrick as if possessed, soon regained her senses and entered her bathroom to wash.

Slowly.

The clothes she was wearing flowed down like skin, revealing her naked body like a white jade.

It is natural for her to be natural, but it is basic for the opposite s*x to appeal to her opposite s*x with her body. A wide spectrum of criteria that could be a voice or overall appearance.

Among them, breasts were one of the means to appeal one’s charm to the opposite s*x.

Just as women are physiologically attracted to a flat man’s chest, men also tended to prefer women with large breasts.

‘…… Still, I think it’s pretty big for me.’

A fact I came to know about by chance listening to obscenities being talked about by my subordinates. Eileen’s gaze, which was pouring hot water, went down her cheeks.

Certainly, she was larger than average in size, as she thought.

When she quietly compared her rivals to other rivals in her head, Aileen herself was the biggest, except for Rasil, who was out of the question.

Sure.

The corner of her mouth went up slightly. As she sprinkled water on her again, feeling a sense of satisfaction she didn’t know why, a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

“Wait a minute…”

Eileen freaked out at her suspicious look on her face.

The current situation, it was a situation where I saw it a lot. I can’t say it because I’m embarrassed to describe it in words, but it was a situation I’ve seen often somewhere.

And what Rudrick said…….

“Accept…?”

At least according to common sense, which she knew, it was close to the meaning of consent.

I belatedly realized that only hot water was pouring over Eileen’s white skin.

2.

“Then I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“……What?”

By the time her hair was roughly dried with a towel, Eileen had also washed and left. To be honest, it was hard to find a place to keep her eyes when she came out with only a thin layer of clothing over her underwear.

Still, I was a bit shy to sleep in the same bed, so I hit the ball first. Eileen, who had just come out of the shower and had a slight blush on her face, raised her eyes.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. I’m going to sleep on the floor.”

“It’s just fair luck, right?”

“Rudrick, I’d like to do what you’re asking, but that request is going to be difficult. A lady who makes a gentleman sleep on the floor will be ridiculed.”

“……Eileen sleeps on the floor, but I feel uncomfortable sleeping on the bed.”

“Simple. You don’t have to feel uncomfortable, do you?”

As expected, Eileen was a strong enemy. A sharp fight of words without concession to each other.

From Shin Se-ji’s point of view, it was a bit like sleeping comfortably in bed alone, so she repeatedly recommended her, but Eileen’s attitude was stubborn.

To be a little more specific…….

“……Do you just give up?”

“……No matter how many times I ask, my answer will be the same. I can’t make you sleep on the floor.”

It was an argument that lasted for nearly five minutes.

At the end of the chatter, repeating the same words like parrots, I couldn’t stand it any longer and came up with a compromise.

“Then we both sleep in the bed. It’s for two anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

“……!”

Eileen put on a shocked expression as soon as I finished my words. And soon, the look of starting to take a look at the notice. As she tilted her head with her puzzled face, Eileen shyly blushed and asked.

“No matter what, sleeping in the same bed is a bit…”

“Then only Eileen slept on the bed?”

“……That’s not possible.”

“Look at that.”

I reached a dramatic conclusion, so I laid down on the bed first and turned off the magic stone light. The room turned dark in an instant because there was no sleep function like it was in my room.

At the end of a hesitant gesture, Eileen followed me to the bed beyond the darkness.

In the first place, it was a two-person bed, so the space was quite wide, so there was no skin contact. Literally, a bed wide enough to avoid inevitable physical contact if you don’t toss and turn while sleeping.

As she tried to sleep with the blanket up to her chest and her eyes closed, a thousand miscellaneous thoughts came to her mind.

From the day I was dragged out of the imperial palace by Rasil’s hand, to the day I spent time with Eileen just before, to the day I am lying down with the lights off and trying to sleep.

And.

I belatedly realized a major problem with my behavior.

This is a world where men and women are reversed.

I have adapted and got used to it after living there for 20 years, but since I spent most of my life in a small estate, I didn’t really feel much of it until I came to the capital.

And in this world, I was a woman in my previous life. Eileen was a male position. Although it meant that it was not the actual gender, but the s*xual role required by society.

Then, the series of words I just casually said to Aileen…….

‘Isn’t it similar to when a woman said she would know when I asked to go on a trip for 2 days and 1 night…… ?’

If you say it a little politely, yes, but if you put it bluntly, there was a strong possibility that it could be seen as meaning that you were allowed to sleep in the same bed.

Still, it’s important that a person has a mood, but most people use metaphors to talk about their previous life or this world. Because i don’t say

‘f*cked up.’

The moment she realized that fact, her downy hair stood on end and goosebumps stood up. Maybe a big snowball might roll because of my thoughtless actions.

Actually, since I’m a man, there’s nothing wrong with spending a night with a beauty like Eileen.

No, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Without difficulty, she pictured a future in her mind, wearing a black men’s suit, with Eileen’s arms crossed, and parading to her wedding.

The full-time housewife ending with nothing to see.

‘…… This sucks when you sleep. If Eileen gets it wrong, she’ll have to scream, “This is her, she really hates it, no, don’t do it.”

With the determination to avoid that future, I opened her eyes wide and tried to chase away the sleep energy that was trying to come.

Flinch.

When I lowered the blanket and opened my eyes, I felt Eileen flinch as well, who was lying next to her.

The distance is so close that each other’s small movements are transmitted as vibrations through the blanket, and even the slightest sigh can be reached by the other person’s breath.

She was determined to hold out until the morning came, and she struggled to overcome her sleep, but Aileen, who was lying next to her, tossed and turned.

Eileen’s gaze turned from lying on her back to lying on her back and turned to me in an instant.

I pretended to close my eyes hastily, but I could feel the stare staring at me through my skin.

‘…… No, I didn’t mean that when I asked to sleep with her.’

I tried to make an explanation that couldn’t be heard later, but the night just started.

The cost of not predicting the repercussions of my meaningless action came back as a deprivation of sleep.
