I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

Epilogue. End of Happiness – 04

“…umm.”

The sound of birds chirping outside the window and the glare of sunlight filtering through the curtains woke me up. Looking at the clock while barely shaking off the heavy weight of my eyelids, it was just past 10:00 am.

10 am. It was closer to lunch than breakfast. The moment I looked at my watch, I realized one thing. Regarding the depressing fact that today must have been beaten up as it was.

“Huh. Are you awake, Cain?”

And at that moment, I heard a cheerful voice next to me. Through the gap in his vision that was still blurry, he saw Kyrie, who was covering the top of her chest with a blanket.

“…Kyrie, were you already up?”

It didn’t look like it had just happened, judging from the twinkling eyes looking at me and the usual laid-back face. In response to my question, Kirie nodded softly with her usual relaxed expression.

“Yeah, what is it? I don’t have to sleep for a long time, so even if I overworked myself a little last night, I don’t have to take a deep rest.”

Kyrie smiled as she said the keyword last night. At the same time, her long ears were flapping like penguin wings, and whenever I saw her ears flapping like that, it was really hard for me to resist the urge to grab her ears.

“…umm.”

But that couldn’t be the case, Kirie didn’t like having someone else touch her ear. No, to be more precise, she didn’t like my act of touching her ears for any purpose other than stroking her ears on the bed.

According to Kyrie, elves’ ears are a much more sensitive part than any other body part. I had been caressing my ear like that all night long, but when I saw it spinning like a pinwheel right in front of my eyes, I couldn’t resist the urge to touch it again. This was enough to make me suspect that it was some kind of withdrawal symptoms.

“…What is it, why are you looking at me like that? It’s a little suspicious.”

“No, I didn’t think anything strange. Why didn’t you wake me up at this hour?

Kirae smiled at me, as if my grumbling seemed cute.

“I do not know. Seeing you soundly asleep next to me made me feel so cute, so I guess I lost my mind and watched it without realizing it.”

“…how much did you appreciate my face?”

“Um, maybe about three hours?”

Since it is now around 10:00 AM, could it be that Kirie woke up around 7:00 AM and was watching me while I was asleep?

“Well, I fully understand that you overslept today. Since you worked so hard last night, it is inevitable that you will feel more tired than usual.”

Her words, which somehow seemed to touch my pride, made me slightly frown.

“…Did I overdo it? What a joke.”

I unknowingly snorted at Kyrie’s absurd accusations. It couldn’t have been really funny. Rather, didn’t Kirie, who was spitting out such a sound right now, end up mercilessly sinking to the top of the bed after being unable to withstand my waves of attacks last night? In other words, what Kyrie was doing now was an obvious distortion of history, and it could be said that it was a kind of malicious process-

“Are you flapping your ears like Pinocchio because you’ve been telling lies since morning?”

At my question, Kirie slightly tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand something.

“If you are Pinocchio, is that fairy tale between humans? I haven’t read that fairy tale, but to think that a wooden doll flapping its own ears is a fairy tale for children to read, it seems that humans have quite eccentric tastes.”

“…is it?”

Come to think of it, it seems that whenever Pinocchio lied, it was his nose, not his ears, that fluttered. Well, what does such a trivial thing matter? What matters to me is not the contents of a fairy tale like that, but how I can touch her ears again.

“It looks very obvious. I’m sorry, but the only chance you can legitimately tamper with my ears is in bed in the middle of the night. Getting tangled up in bed early in the morning for the purpose of mating is very rude.”

After saying that, Kirie stretched her upper body upward as if she was trying to avoid stretching. And the wind threw the blanket she was covering down, completely exposing her upper body.

“…umm.”

I was blown away by the fact that it was so blatant. Obviously, even last night, he had done countless more naked acts than me, but at least seeing Kyrie like that made my heart beat like this.

“…Hmm, seeing you like that makes me feel proud for some reason. You, who took off my clothes last night, are only blushing with something like this. Only in this way is it very similar to that of newlyweds. Well, after all, we must be newlyweds too.”

Kirie, who was giggling, got up from the bed and quietly walked towards the window. Her figure reflected in the sunlight filtering through the cracks in the curtains was so stark that I turned my gaze the other way.

“You’re not trying to pull the curtains aside, are you?”

“Please. Would you expose me like this in front of other people because I’m crazy? You have been the first in the past thousand years to have seen me like this, and you will be the only one for eternity to come.”

Kirie, who was grumbling like that, didn’t just pull the curtains aside, but tightly wrapped the curtains on both sides to prevent even a single ray of sunlight from entering the room. After a while, the bedroom we were lying in was transformed into a dark room with no light except for the lamp installed on one side of the wall.

“…what. why all of a sudden It’s not dignified to get tangled up in bed in the morning.”

Could it be that he also wanted to play the second game following last night, but he turned around and said it out of embarrassment? If that’s the case, her current behavior makes sense. Iris, Ariel, and Bianca all pretended not to, but they secretly enjoyed lying on the bed with me. Above all, how could I miss this opportunity to legally fix that ear that had been fluttering from earlier?

“Well, that’s not a bad choice either, but unfortunately I don’t have much desire to get entangled with you from early morning. Even if it’s not today, there will be plenty of time to spend with me in the future, right? I’m not going to run away anywhere else, and I’ll be by your side until the last moment, so I don’t think there’s any need to be so impatient.”

Kirie, who was lying on the bed with a relaxed answer. To be honest, her appearance was a little uncomfortable, so I sighed and gently put the blanket over her body.

“It is a very relaxed attitude. Is it because you were once immortal that you can maintain such a laid-back attitude unlike other women?”

At my words, Kirie made a nostalgic look on her face, then shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, you can’t deny that it’s not related at all. I am an elf, while the other women around you are human. Because they are of a different species and fundamentally different lifespans, their views of the world are inevitably different. To be honest, as you say, I’m laid-back. Unlike humans, I don’t get old, and my lifespan is in a state of abundance that cannot be compared to them.”

“…How much life do you have left?”

“Well, in terms of years, that would be about 150 years? Compared to the years I’ve lived, it’s only a fleeting moment, but I think it’s a decent time to end the twilight of my life with you.”

“…..”

150 years. I was thinking about 50 years at most. Wouldn’t that amount of time be enough time to put the women next to me as well as the children I will give birth to in the coffin?

“That’s why sometimes it’s funny when I see Iris or Bianca’s flirtation. Because one day, even when those women grow old and die, I will keep the present look you are looking at. So I’m in no hurry. You just have to wait leisurely for those women to die and then monopolize you.”

“Oh, I’m telling you, you don’t have to worry about anything. You, who are connected with me by a ‘string’, can also share a lifespan without aging like me. So, you should also enjoy watching those women who are dying of old age next to me in a leisurely way.”

“…Isn’t that too bad taste?”

It is said that her personality has died a lot since that day, but every time she says something like this, I sometimes realize it again. About the fact that the woman named Kyrie el Denaris is basically an elf with a broken personality to the point that Bianca is easily surpassed.

“What? Even if you say it’s bad taste, I have nothing to say, but basically everything I say is fact-based. I have long been so used to the fact that other people die before me.”

Kyrie, who was rolling around on the bed and saying such things, suddenly stared at my face and smiled.

“But I no longer feel afraid of breaking up with someone else. Because I am no longer immortal. I will live a much longer life than the people I am currently in a relationship with, but even for me, this will come to a definite end someday.”

“Besides that, unlike before, I’m going to have a reliable companion by my side. In the time I will walk forward, there is a person called you who will walk with me, so I am just happy for the end I will face.”

“The time left for us is a long time of 150 years, but if you look back at the end, that time will only be a fleeting moment. So rather than sharing physical pleasure with you, I want to focus more on building small memories like this. Sex is something that can be enjoyed just by the two of you even after all the women are dead, right? isn’t it?”

Kyrie put her hand on my shoulder, then quietly leaned her face against my chest.

“You were late because you overslept today, right? If I go into the office to take care of things now, I’m going to get in trouble with Sarah, so why don’t we just hang out today? If you get scolded this way and that way, wouldn’t it be better to do it hotly?”

Indeed, demonic whispers were tickling my ears. And I was getting more and more enchanted by the devil’s cunning whispers.

“So today, put everything down and play with me. I wanted to spend time with you alone like this from a very long time ago and make memories.”

Saying that, Kirie applied force to her hand that was placed on my shoulder. Maybe he’s thinking of putting me on the bed. With the situation like this, ignoring her touch was also quite ridiculous, so I accepted her hand and slumped down on the top of the bed.

“Well then, where would be a good place to start? Oh yes. Why don’t we take turns talking about old memories about each other? Actually, I was very curious about what the man you were thinking as he looked at me-”

Looking at my face, I look at Kirie’s side profile as if she is slightly excited, talking about many things.

yes, that’s what she said Today’s skipping is nothing more than an insignificant task if you look at it in the long life of the remaining 150 years. So I don’t think it’s too bad to have a day like this.

The story has only just begun. Let’s hope that today’s events will become beautiful memories with Kyrie when we look back in the distant future-
