There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

31. come to me

Because Yu-Wol has no idea about that other guy.

Ha… I laughed out loud.

I don’t know.

I’ve been through hellish training on the floor of the demon realm after seeing you alone, but you don’t know.

It felt like something was broken inside me.

okay. That’s right.

I did not reject her invitation to come in.

That’s how I entered Seria’s room for the first time.

Seria went into the bathroom telling me to wait.

Seria’s room had the same structure as mine.

Her room was that of a modest young lady no matter who saw it.

The uniforms were neatly hung on hangers, and the fruits that were given to me were placed on the table.

I got up from the sofa and went towards the window.

Then I opened the window and went out onto the terrace.

The night wind tickled my nose.

I leaned against the railing, leaned out, and looked across to the terrace of my room.

Suddenly, I remembered the day she put on her pajamas and put on a performance about to fall.

Seria shouted the name of June in a desperate voice through the window.

She must have had a change of heart, too, I thought.

But if it was to forget Yu-Wol and make a gesture of seduction to another man like Sirius, then I…

I don’t know.

But I could see what emotions were rising up inside me right now.

anger.

Anger at Seria for trying to treat Yu-Wol as someone who never existed.

I was dumbfounded by myself even as I felt the anger boiling inside me.

I was the one who told you to pretend you didn’t know me that you recognized at a glance, but I was also angry at the words that you forgot me.

I was the one who broke the promise first and made love to Luna, but I was also angry that you were cheating on another me called Sirius.

Even if I think about it, I was really… the worst man.

Thinking like that, I regretted entering this room in a fit of anger.

With what qualifications should I be angry at you for trying to meet someone else?

Still… though…

To the extent that your first love was me.

The happiest memory of my life was that of that village.

Can’t I just live with that?

I don’t know when the day I can stand in front of you again as ‘June’ is.

Still, wouldn’t it be too harsh for Yoo-wol to have the name that even I abandoned go to you?

The fact that I was forgotten by her made my heart ache.

And the source of pain in my heart.

Seria came to me after taking a bath, wearing only a robe.

Water was dripping from her still golden hair.

I sat back on the sofa waiting for her and raised my head at the sound of her voice.

“Dog star.”

She approached me with a provocative attitude.

When I could clearly see the curves of Seria’s body, I had no choice but to swallow.

Ha… You grew up really well. Ceria.

“yes.”

“What do you think of me?”

This was a question I asked Yuri all day today, and on the contrary, hearing it made me feel strange.

“I think you are a warrior who will defeat the demon king.”

It was a neutral answer itself, without any subjectivity.

To be honest, it was also true that I wasn’t sure about my feelings right now.

“As a woman?”

“yes?”

“How do you look as a woman?”

She sat down on the seat right next to me on the sofa and looked me straight in the eyes.

Ceria. When I was with you, I don’t think you were such a bold kid at all.

He seemed to have gained a lot of courage after becoming a warrior.

“I think it’s charming.”

I avoided Seria’s gaze and looked out the window.

Because that’s not wrong either.

The gown couldn’t hide her athletic body.

To be honest, even if it wasn’t me, any man my age would deny that Seria was a beauty.

She got up abruptly when I stopped looking at her.

Then he sat on my lap, looking directly at me.

“Since Sirius doesn’t look at me. I moved.”

My gaze was lost and I was only looking at her face.

Her hair, which was still wet, and her cheeks, which were slightly flushed, could be seen illuminated by the moonlight.

“Will you look at me now?”

She put a pod around the back of my neck and pulled my neck forward.

I could feel the sweet apple scent on her skin.

If it was another time, I would have blushed and buried myself in the atmosphere…

“Hero… do you do this to any man…?”

Suddenly, the thoughts I had before she came out flashed through my mind.

Seria felt her eyes tremble as if this was an unexpected question.

“Sirius. What does that mean…?”

As if I had said something I couldn’t say, I answered her one more time as she looked at me.

“What kind of man is the hero so kind to?”

She untied her hands around my neck and stood up and took a step. took two steps back.

“…it’s not like that.”

“Then.”

I answered coldly.

“Is it natural to bring a man you’ve just met to the room like a bewitched one?”

She trembled as if shocked by my words.

When I saw her like that, the anger that had boiled a while ago started to erupt again.

“Or, as long as it’s Mr. Yuwol or a man who looks like him, does anyone care? Maybe you like him just by looking at his face, or was that kind of slutty love?”

Seria shook her head at my words and murmured.

“No… never… it’s not like that… I mean…”

“He said he didn’t know. That kind of person!”

I yelled at her uncharacteristically.

It seemed like there hadn’t been many times in my life when I raised my voice like this, so I was surprised when I shouted.

I came to my senses and looked at Seria’s face, wondering if I had spoken too harshly.

Tears hung in Seria’s blue eyes.

A single tear ran down her cheek.

And her next word.

“You know it’s not like that. Yuwol-ah.”

ah.

The name was truly magical to me.

The moment Seria called my name with that kind of face and that kind of voice.

I couldn’t think of anything.

The resolution to pretend not to know her, and the anxiety I felt because she would fawn over any man.

It melted and flowed as if nothing had happened.

Just as she was when she was a child, she wiped the tears with both hands.

I got up without saying anything and went to her.

“I’m sorry. I spoke too harshly. I.”

I stopped trying to hug her and patted her on the back instead.

okay. this would be our distance

“Can I hug you…?”

Seria asked me with teary eyes.

“I’m sorry for calling you Yuwol. But… can I hug you just once…?”

Seria knew everything…

They understood that I was June and that I wanted to hide it.

I nodded and held her in my arms.

She held me in my arms and spoke to me in a choked voice.

“Actually, that statement… is a lie…”

I felt my chest wet with her tears.

“That it doesn’t matter is all a lie. But, I miss you so much… but I can’t… I guess I keep complaining to Sirius…”

How did she feel when she said this to me?

“I know. Sirius isn’t that person. I know all too well…”

“If Yu-Wol was by my side, he would probably have hugged me with a face like this. With the same face as Sirius’s now.”

In fact, I couldn’t imagine what kind of expression my face was making.

“I. I’ve decided to give up on Yu-Wol.”

Suddenly, my heart sank.

The thing I feared so much came out of her mouth.

And her next words.

“Instead. I want to love you, Sirius.”

yes?

“I can’t be that person’s substitute. Hero.”

I replied by stroking her hair.

“I understand enough that the hero thinks of him when he sees me, but it’s probably going to be this way. He probably doesn’t want that either.”

yes. As a party, I am the extreme opposite.

No matter how much Sirius and Yuwol are the same person, I didn’t want Seria to love me with that mindset.

“Sirius. I already lost someone I loved once. And it’s been a long time since my parents died at the hands of demons.”

That’s not a demon. The word came up to the throat.

However, it was not yet the time to reveal this.

And even if I said it, there was no guarantee that Seria would believe it.

“So. This time I’ll be sure to watch over you. Sirius. You came to me. It’s the second fate.”

She got out of my arms and looked at me.

“At that time, I was so weak, I was so poor that I couldn’t do anything and took everything away, but now it’s different.”

She tipped her toe slightly so that she was at eye level with me.

“Come to me. Sirius.”

Her lips pressed against mine.

It was apple flavored.
