There’s a saying in the world.
‘Bears tear people apart.’
And the woman looking up at me from within my arms was a woman who could tear apart the monsters that tear apart those bears.
In other words, she had the power to tear me to shreds in an instant with just two fingers.
Of course, Ia-nuna wouldn’t do that to me, but she was a person who had turned the ceiling and roof of my house into stars in the sky for the sole reason that I wasn’t treating her like a woman.
I can’t even fathom what she would do when she’s really pissed off.
I was scared. Ia-nuna, who had seemed so cute just now, now looked like a ticking time bomb.
And a ticking time bomb held in my arms at that. The moment it exploded, I would disappear without a trace.
Whether that would be physically or socially, I didn’t know.
In times like these, it was best to escape with Rabbit Burrow, but in my current physical condition, I couldn’t even do that.
Even if I received treatment now, as long as the two manas in my body continued to clash, it was inevitable that I would need treatment again. I desperately needed her help.
Wait a minute, do I really need Ia-nuna’s help that much? It’s not like Ia-nuna is the only healer in the world. Couldn’t I just ask Scarlet, Lapi, or the Doctor to get me treated by a healer who, although not as skilled as Ia-nuna, is still quite renowned?
Scarlet and Lapi had a big part in my body becoming like this, and there was no way those two would let me die. And it was a bit much to rely solely on Ia-nuna.
The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a good idea to change doctors.
Why hadn’t I thought of this in the first place? Why couldn’t I? Because I didn’t know what kind of person Ia-nuna really was.
If I had known she was a dangerous person who would destroy someone’s ceiling because she couldn’t control her emotions, I would have thought of this a little sooner. And due to the nature of my ability, I rarely got hurt like this.
After finishing the self-questioning in my mind, I looked at Ia-nuna’s brown eyes.
Deep within her dead eyes, the eerie anger from before was slowly rising.
But now that I knew I had other places to lean on, her gaze didn’t feel as threatening. And I didn’t have a house to be blown away now. I had nothing to lose.
“Ha…”
As my anxiety disappeared, the corners of my stiff mouth relaxed slightly, and I unconsciously raised one corner of my mouth.
At the same time, a laugh that a ridiculously arrogant chaebol heir would make accidentally slipped out, regardless of my intention.
Oops, should I call it a mistake? Should I say it wasn’t an intentional laugh but a physiological movement? But is this something that even requires such an apology and explanation? It was just the corner of my mouth going up and a hollow laugh slipping out. And Ia-nuna doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood…
“Eung. Eugeuk…”
Her two brown eyes began to well up with tears. At the same time, she bit her lower lip slightly, and a choked sob that she couldn’t hold back escaped through her pearly white teeth.
She’s crying? No, why is she crying?! Was she that offended?
“I’m sorry! It was a mistake! I didn’t mean to do that, it was really just a hollow laugh-like sound that suddenly came out, completely unrelated to my intention! It’s not what you think!”
Startled by Ia-nuna’s sudden tear jerking, I instinctively blurted out an unconditional apology, stopping just short of a full prostration.
If she cries now, I’m really screwed!
I had realized it with Lapi, but I was too weak to tears. The saying “crying first to win” wasn’t a surefire winning strategy, but at least for me, it was a very effective one.
If nuna were to cry and say, ‘Have sex with me’, to me, the probability of me agreeing was high.
So, I can’t let Ia-nuna cry.
I didn’t know why she was suddenly trying to cry when she had just been setting the mood as if she were about to kill me, but for now, comforting her was the priority.
If I lift her up and play peek-a-boo, wouldn’t she laugh? It was the best way to soothe the younger siblings in the orphanage.
Honestly, it seemed like a method that would work on Silk Blonde, as well as Scarlet and Lapi.
But the one in my arms right now was not one of those three, but Ia-nuna. She was older, and because she had matured early, she was the most mature person.
There was no way something like peek-a-boo, as if soothing a child, would work on such a person.
And in the first place, those three would probably be so happy that they would grin from ear to ear even if I gave them a raspberry on their bellies.
Scarlet smiling at a raspberry on her belly. Imagining it made me want to see it for real. I should try it later if I get the chance…
What am I thinking right now! Get a grip, Faster!?
As a difficult situation suddenly arose, I had unconsciously escaped from reality.
But in this situation, with Ia-nuna’s eyes welling up with tears and her barely holding back her sobs, escaping from reality was really the worst move.
First, let’s find out the reason. I need to know why she’s crying to be able to do something.
“U-Um, Ia-nuna. Why are you crying? I understand being angry, but I don’t quite understand why should cry…”
At my question, with my voice trailing off to express my confusion, Ia-nuna wiped her eyes and looked at me with a red and sharp gaze. And then, she answered curtly, as if she were sulking.
“F-Faster, you looked at me with bad eyes.”
Without even having time to be relieved that Ia-nuna’s tone had returned from informal to formal, I had no choice but to ask her back.
“What? My eyes? How did I look at you…..?”
“L-Like you were about to leave! Like you had other people to rely on, so you had no lingering feelings for me! If Faster really decided to disappear, there’s no one in this world who could catch you. So of course I would cry if you looked at me like you were about to leave at any moment! Ugh…”
As she spoke, the emotions that had subsided seemed to well up again, and Ia-nuna closed her mouth tightly, her lips turning downwards as she fought back her tears.
I held the back of her head, pulled her into an embrace, and stroked her hair. At the same time, I opened my mouth halfway so she couldn’t see and was silently shocked.
For heaven’s sake. She knew just by looking at my eyes, even though I had only thought about it?
I got goosebumps at Ia-nuna’s observation skills that transcended common sense.
By the way, she said she would cry if she thought I was going to leave because no one could catch me if I really decided to disappear.
It was definitely true, but hearing it directly like this made my heart feel heavy for no reason.
To think that tears would come just from the thought of me leaving. How strong of an emotion must she have for me to be like this?
Come to think of it, Scarlet, Lapi, Silk Blonde, and even Ia-nuna, who was in my arms right now. They all felt extreme anxiety about me leaving.
Just by acting like I was about to leave, they would immediately cry and beg… no. Scarlet didn’t apologize, so let’s exclude her. The others, excluding Scarlet, would cry and beg, so afraid of me leaving or being hated by me.
When I first realized that fact, I was so surprised that they had such feelings for me that I didn’t think about it more deeply. But now, while comforting Ia-nuna like this, a question that I should have naturally felt suddenly came to mind.
Why do they feel that way about me? What am I to them? What do they like about me?
Come to think of it, I was ridiculously good in bed.
My dick was big, and if I put my mind to it, I could give them a taste of an orgasmic hell where they couldn’t even faint from start to finish.
Even without using Rabbit Burrow’s sparks, recalling the cases of Scarlet and Lapi, it was clear that I was just a sex genius.
I mean, they climaxed almost every time I fucked them.
But that was something you wouldn’t know without trying, and they had liked me even without knowing I was good in bed.
Why do they feel romantic feelings for a guy like me? In the first place, what exactly are romantic feelings?
For me, who had never liked someone romantically because I had been physically tormented by Scarlet for 15 years and socially tormented by all the slanders she had spread, romantic feelings were something from a distant land.
But after hearing Lapi’s confession and seeing Ia-nuna, who was on the verge of tears just at the thought that I might leave, I realized that romance was no longer a distant story.
I see. So, the time to seriously face romance come for me now?
But the romance I knew was something that started when you loved someone. And I wasn’t in love with anyone right now. And there was no one I could love.
My heart had fluttered with an unfamiliar feeling when I heard Lapi’s confession, but I don’t think that was love.
I had heard from the guild master once when we were drinking together that you become happy just by thinking about the person you love. But I didn’t particularly feel happy when I thought of Lapi.
Just something like. She was pretty cute. I guess?
Even I thought I was a novice in love. I had never been in love. Not even the common crush.
If I had lived a normal life like other people, I would have at least experienced a crush, but there was a troublemaker in my life that made it impossible.
And not just any troublemaker, but a really fucking malicious troublemaker.
Thinking about it made my chest fill with a fiery anger again.
Scarlet, you fucking bitch. Just you wait. The next time I see you, I’ll immediately hit you with the hypnosis app and give you 500 raspberries on your belly. And I’ll do it after making her bare her belly herself, without caring about her lower belly, upper belly, or sides, until she begs me to stop.
“Hooo…”
With a sigh, I momentarily stopped my anger towards Scarlet and looked at the person who might teach me about romantic feelings.
“Heut.”
Ia-nuna was still sniffling with her face buried in my chest. It seemed she hadn’t been able to shake off the anxiety that I would leave.
I didn’t want her, my benefactor who had helped me several times and saved my life, to be anxious and in pain because of me.
Even if I was just being obsessed with her and was afraid of what she would do when she was angry, it seemed a hundred times better if she wasn’t in such distress.
“Ia-nuna. I won’t leave you. So don’t be anxious.”
I said that as I stroked her soft brown hair. Then, Ia-nuna finally lifted her face and looked at me.
“Really? You-You won’t suddenly disappear or anything, right?”
It was a desperate question, as if she were begging me to say ‘yes.’
But I couldn’t just grant her wish as it was. I decided to put a leash on the ticking time bomb that was Ia-nuna while I was at it.
I gently stroked her head and put on one safety measure after another.
“As long as you don’t imprison me in your Faster-exclusive display case, or destroy my house when you’re angry, or try to pull a fast one with the repair costs… anyway, as long as you don’t do anything that’s really not right. I will never leave you.”
Since I had listed things that were common sense not to do, it would be easy for Ia-nuna to accept.
In the first place, the act of putting a leash on her by mentioning such obvious things was itself an act that deviated from common sense, but still, I had to say these things to feel at ease.
I met Ia-nuna’s eyes, smiled, and asked.
“Easy, right?”
“Hng…”
But at my question, Ia-nuna averted her gaze and subtly tried to bury her face in my chest again.
No, you don’t, nuna. You’re not getting away with this.
-Zap!
I used Rabbit Burrow to push Ia-nuna from my forearm to my elbow, then used the hand that had been stroking her head to hold her chin and looked straight into her two brown eyes and asked.
“You don’t want to? You can’t accept it?”
“What? Ah, ah, that’s…”
“If you don’t want to, well, I can’t help it. But then, if I suddenly disappear later, don’t feel wronged…”
“No! I’ll do it! I will! I-I won’t put you in a display case! I won’t imprison you! I won’t destroy your house! I’ll pay the repair costs properly! And I’ll cancel my attempt to secretly change the ownership of the penthouse under repair to a joint ownership with me…! Oops.”
“What?”
I think I just heard something I shouldn’t have.
As I looked at Ia-nuna with eyes full of suspicion, she clapped her hands and nodded her head vigorously.
“A-Anyway! I won’t do it! I won’t do anything that Faster would hate! So, Faster you have to promise not to leave me either…?”
Seeing her, who had desperately finished her story and was looking up at me like Puss in Boots, made me laugh.
I raised the corners of my mouth and said the words she most wanted to hear.
“Yes. I won’t leave. And if I do leave, I’ll tell you where I’m going.”
“Yes!”
Ia-nuna, with a smile so bright it seemed to have a sound effect of ‘paaaah’, nodded her head and answered.
And seeing her, who had once again burrowed into my arms and buried her face in my chest, I felt that now was the right time.
Good, now that I’ve put a leash on her. Shall I do what I was originally going to do?
I used the hand that had been stroking her head to touch Ia-nuna’s cheek and, in a voice full of a junior’s charm to make her want to listen to me as much as possible, I said.
“Nuna. Can you grant me one favor?”
“Yes!”
“Is it okay to say yes so quickly? How do you know what I’m going to ask for?”
“Because I know that Faster won’t leave me! So whatever you do is fine!”
I was momentarily flustered by her all too eager consent, but what was good stills good.
It was a request that was a little embarrassing and shy to say out loud, so I slightly averted my gaze, scratched my cheek, and asked Ia-nuna in a voice as small as a crawling ant.
“Um… p-please have sex with me… It would be even better if it’s… lovey dovey sex.”
