I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

72. Day 3, Silfia Andres (4)

1.

“Wow, I really didn’t know all of this would work.”

“At this point, just give up and die gracefully. Maybe something like that.”

“Don’t say it so easily that it’s someone else’s story… It’s not, it’s your own story in the first place!”

“Maybe it’s a sale that won’t happen today.”

“So, it’s about you, but don’t say it so easily…”

Sylphia let out a sigh of relief, but my theory was to give up quickly if it didn’t work. Even when playing a game, it’s better to see the strategy that the advance team bought and worked hard for, rather than ignorantly heading and clearing it on the first day of the new content update.

Similar.

Of course, this time it wasn’t just a game dungeon or a new boss monster, it was really my life at stake.

So, I was still curious about what the last method was to wrap it up as if enshrining a shrine, but since there was a way, I just thought I’d take out at least one insurance policy.

Anyway, I tried several other methods besides the first method, but all failed.

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much. If it was that easy, there’s no way I would have picked and died before returning. Of course, it’s the early stages before the full-scale progress, so you know there’s some leeway.

“So is everything over now?”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect all of them to fail… Huh.”

Sylpia’s expression darkened, and then she replied in a weak voice.

Well, if you did your best, wouldn’t it be OK?

The reason why I grumbled, “Ehh, I wasted my time-” Is because it is a sign that I saved the drowned thing and even got the bundle.

No matter how ignorant people are, I think that being so ignorant is close to a crime.

Pat Pat.

“……?”

I just quietly patted my head with my hand.

Originally, if it was normal, they would ask if I would pat my back or shoulders, but it happened that my head was in a position where I could reach it with an outstretched arm.

“……What is it?”

“It’s just that you’ve had a hard time. Anyway, Sylphia has worked hard. I’m going to fix it.”

Hmm, the line just now was a bit sweet.

I don’t know what method to leave as a last resort, but anyway, I have insurance. Whatever it is, in the end it was Sylphia who tried to cure the disease that wasn’t mine.

If you can’t even say thank you, is that a beast or a person?

At least, the Confucian Taliban sleeping inside me, from the Eastern Kingdom of Courtesy, could not tolerate that.

As if she didn’t expect my reaction like this, Sylphia stared at me with a blank face.

“…….”

“…….”

A subtle silence.

No, I didn’t expect you to be so moved by this timing…… ! Isn’t it normal to have the same reaction?

Soon.

“……Don’t do that.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t spill it like that.”

“What are you spilling…?”

“Haa…”

A sigh that comes from the depths of the lungs. What is the reason why he sighs even when I pat him for doing well?

I take Moruge.

Sylphia hardened her expression as if she had made up her mind, then grabbed my hand and led me somewhere.

“Huh?”

“Please follow me in silence.”

An intimidating atmosphere and a low voice like never before.

Then they were led somewhere, and soon the door was slammed shut.

It didn’t take long to realize that it was a perfect secret room, as often referred to in cartoons featuring a certain elementary school detective.

“……?”

There’s no way there’s going to be a murder in a closed room like that cartoon, and I just tilted my head at the moment because I couldn’t understand what I had done wrong to bring me here.

Bang.

“……It’s a surprise.”

Sylphia suddenly slammed the wall and flinched momentarily.

…… That, is this the wall banging you’ve only heard about or something you’re doing?

It’s normal for a man to do something to a woman, but since this is a world where men and women are reversed, it’s the norm for a woman to do something to a man. Yes, that’s all good, but I couldn’t figure out why Sylphia was doing this.

Are you angry because you patted your head on your own? … ?

If that’s the case, I honestly think it’s a bit petty.

“Rudric, you need to break that habit.”

“……What?”

But I got the number wrong. The words that came out of Sylphia’s mouth were incomprehensible. I tilted my head again, wondering what it meant.

Correct a habit, a habit…… ?

I don’t know what kind of habit I have to change all of a sudden.

It’s just that until just now, even though I tried this method and that method, it failed, and anyway, it’s true that Sylphia worked hard, so she was depressed, so I patted my head a little to mean that it was okay.

To sum it up as plainly as possible, this was all, but if you suddenly say you need to change your habit, it’s normal that you don’t understand why it suddenly sounds like Hongduke in the middle of the night.

“What did I say earlier?”

“If you ask me what I said…”

“I told you not to do that. Don’t spill it around like that. You just have to leave room for misunderstanding in the first place, right?”

A flushed face and rough breathing.

And even Sylphia’s unique vertically split pupils that don’t show unless she’s really excited or angry.

I didn’t know anything else, but I could definitely realize one thing.

‘This is f*cked…… !’

I don’t know why, but Sylfia’s condition was a little strange. In the first place, as long as they were living beings, everyone had no choice but to cringe the moment they looked into their eyes. Would it be more accurate to say that it is an instinct as a prey in front of a predator?

I have heard that the cry of a beast like a tiger has infrasound, which psychologically shrinks people and induces a sense of fear.

And I don’t know why, but for some reason, standing in front of an agitated dragon had a similar meaning.

Just by looking at it, you can clearly feel that your body is stiff as if you met Medusa from mythology, and that you are shrinking from the feeling of intimidation.

“……Rudrick, you kept tempting me like that.”

“Am I…?”

“Pretend it’s not like that, pretend it’s nothing, pretend it’s harmless. You keep wagging your tail with an innocent face. How could it be that you haven’t changed at all since then?”

“…….”

This was unfair. A little too much?

No, I don’t know why I’m hearing that I’ve been kicking my tail for what I’ve done.

It was a questionable feeling that momentarily surpassed fear. And Sylphia, who was moving her lips as if she wanted to say something, shook her head.

“I can’t do it. Then, I think we’ll have to use shock therapy here, to make sure they’re alert.”

“Ouch.”

Your wrist was literally caught in the middle of ah. What kind of grip was so strong, even if I tried to free it with strength, the tightly gripped hands didn’t know that they would let go.

And.

Sylphia’s face slowly moved closer as she was pushed against the wall and her wrists were held motionless.

Mokwooldae is crossed, and the trembling caused by the minute movements of each other breathing and exhaling is conveyed intact. Thoughts came to my mind momentarily and my mind became complicated, but when I saw Sylphia’s face right in front of me, my miscellaneous thoughts disappeared neatly.

The first thought that came to my mind was that, though it may sound funny, it is pretty.

People’s standards of beauty are generally universal, and they are artificially created through polymorph magic.

Of course it was beautiful.

His red hair and eyes like flames, his face burning with desire as if he couldn’t control himself, even his expression with a blush as red as his hair.

And then, the moment when the pale cherry-colored lips slowly approached.

As if I had been possessed by something, I regained consciousness after being absent-minded.

“……No.”

“…….”

At the words I uttered, like some kind of magic spell, Sylphia’s movement, which had been so close that they could even breathe each other, suddenly stopped.

“Not right now, Sylphia.”

“……Why?”

“You can’t do it this way. You know, Sylphia, too.”

I never dreamed that I would be able to recite lines like a heroine of tragedy with my own lips.

Apart from the fact that my values are different from this world, this is a strange world where men and women are reversed. From that point of view, Sylfia’s behavior right now might be extremely natural. In any case, as long as it is an agreed upon action.

But apart from that.

I haven’t decided who to choose yet. More precisely, I couldn’t afford it.

My life over the past 20 years has changed completely at some point, and I was suddenly being forced to make many choices as I was adapting and living my life.

“……If you just pick and choose at random, there will definitely be advantages in its own way.”

Sylphia shut her mouth at my low muttering. The faces that had been approaching were slowly moving away.

“But the fire hasn’t gone down yet.”

That my actions could be understood with different intentions was something Rasil said, and I could see it from Sylphia’s actions this time.

But I, the person in charge, didn’t mean to do that.

It’s a terribly selfish thought, but I didn’t want to leave any regrets with my current choice in my only once-in-a-lifetime life.

If I don’t choose someone right now, the sky won’t collapse tomorrow.

Certainly.

“Sylphia.”

“……Yes.”

“……I didn’t come back with you either.”

Sylpia flinched as if she realized something about her at the words I had been brainwashing.

I still don’t know what happened in the past before the return.

No matter what happened at that time, it’s a story that I can’t share my memories with.

…… Well, if you add up to your present life, you have lived your life in your own way for years.

Because I didn’t get old in vain.

From noble mtl dot com

My appetite was bitter.

I don’t know why.

If you say this, you feel like a heroine who refuses the male protagonist’s confession.

When I experienced it myself, I felt very bad.
