SPMB - Chapter 112

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

"You will be blind while escaping through the black fog. Take hold of the hem of my clothes."

"All right."

They walked into the black fog. Just as Raphael had predicted, Kanna's vision suddenly darkened.

'I can't see anything.'

Kanna walked, relying only on his clothes and their soft feel. Then at some point, her vision became brighter.

"..."

Kanna wasn't the only one surprised. Raphael also stopped for a moment. The black fog that had filled the hallway instantly dispersed like a lie. Then a hellish scene was revealed.

Black monsters, people infected with black fog, and corpses. It was a terrible sight that made me vomit.

"Ma'am, I'll keep going."

Raphael walked back into the chaos. Even though the monster that discovered them was approaching aggressively, he did not slow down even once. He just asked quietly.

"Please just look at my back."

The next moment, a violent sound struck my eardrums. The noise of bones breaking and flesh being torn, the roar of heavyweights falling to the floor, and the moans of non-human things continued continuously.

However, Kanna followed Raphael's advice, holding tightly to the hem of his clothes. Please just look at his back. He said so. He said please, please. So that's what Kanna has to do.

"..."

For a moment, when her gaze averted, Kanna ended up watching it.

Probably, no, scenes that Raphael would definitely not want to see. Raphael stretches out his long arms. He grabbed the monster's head with his large hands and smashed it into pieces. It pierced the entire body of the attacking infected person and escaped. The act seemed so easy that it felt like a piece of paper being torn in his hands.

'Oh my God...'

Kanna's face turned pale. A destructive slaughter that would be hard to believe was done by the hands of a priest, it was not the grip of a human being.

"Duchess!"

At that time, Claude's voice was heard from the other side.

"Duchess, are you okay?!"

Claude rushed forward, cutting down the last remaining monsters. Hearing his voice, Kanna felt relieved as if she could breathe.

Thank God. Claude is alive and not infected. 

"Are you okay? Where are you hurt?"

"I'm OK."

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Please kill me." 

Claude spoke with a face that looked like he was about to burst into tears. 

"I couldn't get out because the black fog was blocking the door. I knew the Duchess was in trouble, but I had no choice..."

After letting go of Raphael's clothes, Kanna turned to face Claude. Blonde hair with a black pigtail. It was a little funny, but it helped Kanna calm down completely. She became calm.

"I'm okay. Fortunately, Raphael came and I was safe."

At those words, Claude bowed as if he was about to kneel.

"Thank you, Priest! No, you're not a Priest anymore, are you? I don't know what to call you, but thank you anyway!”

Claude was just saying whatever came to mind. But Kanna understood his confusion. A black mist appeared on this ship and blocked the room with intent. And then suddenly disappeared.

It was a feature similar to the black fog that appears on Palen Island. Kanna shared a conversation she had with Jerome.

"I think Jerome is dead and gone. He said he succeeded in completely controlling the black fog this time."

... And he said he wanted to talk.

Now that it's safe, Kanna was starting to wonder. 

'What on earth were you trying to say?'

What does the Black Apostle have to say to her?

***

Fortunately, there were only a few victims. Because it was late at night, most people were locked in their rooms. After the commotion completely calmed down, Kanna went to Raphael's room.

"I know you're hurt." 

As soon as he opened the door, Kanna spoke clearly.

"Ma'am?" 

Kanna strode inside. In her hands was a bag containing treatment tools.

"I saw it earlier. There was a cut on your forearm."

"It's okay. Never mind." 

Raphael spoke so clearly that it felt blunt. But she couldn't help but care.

'Because you got hurt while trying to protect me.'

In fact, Kanna was impressed. When someone saves you at the risk of getting hurt. It was something unfamiliar to this world. Kanna sat down on the sofa and patted the spot next to her.

"Take off your top and come here. I will treat you." 

Raphael was stuck in his seat, looking embarrassed. But Kanna knew.

'Why bother if you're going to listen to me anyway?'

It was hard to imagine Raphael rejecting her words to the end. Sure enough, he sat down next to her with his back to her and began to unbutton his shirt.

'As expected, you listen well.' 

Kanna smiled happily. But when Raphael took off his clothes, the smile disappeared from her face.

His back seemed to be made of steel. The clear outlines of muscles on his broad shoulders and slim waist were almost voluptuous. However, what surprised Kanna was not because of the incredibly muscular body of a Priest. A back full of scars. 

'How did those scars come about?'

Suddenly, Claude's words passed by. It's not that the Great Temple didn't kill him, it's that they couldn't.

Kanna pretended not to know. She only looked at the fresh wound on his shoulder.

"It must have hurt."

"..."

"Poor you."

Kanna carefully raised her finger. It felt hot and hard, like freshly smelted iron. As the body temperature reached him, Kanna felt the back of Raphael's neck stiffen.

'I won't bite, I won't bite, don't be nervous.' 

Since Joo-hwa tried to smash his head with a rock, it was natural to be cautious. 

'In the meantime, he probably looked after me because I was legally married to Sylvien.'

Because Kanna is his friend's wife.

A person who is like a human weapon has suffered in silence all this time. If Joo-hwa found out about this, she would be embarrassed.

"Let me begin. It might sting a little."

Kanna opened her bag and took out a treatment tool. After cleaning and disinfecting the blood, she applied anti-inflammatory medication. 

'Doesn't it hurt?'

Kanna glanced at him, but Raphael was still looking straight ahead. 

"How is it? Does it sting?"

There is no answer. However, Kanna continued speaking regardless.

"I applied the medicine, so you will heal quickly. I made this medicine myself and it is very effective. "It's incomparable to anything on the market."

"I know."

He knows? How does he do it?

When Kanna inadvertently raised her head in response to the strange answer, I met him. A slanted gaze. Raphael was staring at her, moving only his eyes.

"..."

Kanna couldn't look away. It's like she's being held by something and she can't move.

'How can people's eyes...'

It could be like this. Kanna was dazed as if she had been sucked into his purple eyes. Are the eyes of a wounded wild animal like this? 

To some extent, he appears depressed and lonely, but at the same time, he is sharp as if he will not allow anyone to approach him. Kanna has felt it since the first time they met, but it's really hard to take her eyes off of them. 

Kanna looked closely at his face with admiration without realizing it. The sharp line from the forehead to the bridge of the nose and chin exuded a masculine scent. Yet, it was surprising that there was a sense of puritanical restraint. The lips that never seemed to smile and the eyes that seemed to know no joy looked stoic yet strangely dangerous, therefore... 

'It feels surprisingly decadent...'

At that moment, his gaze pushed her away. She fell as if torn open. Kanna's sudden ending of eye contact brought her to her senses.

"..."

Embarrassment came later. Before she knew it, Kanna was mesmerized and just looked at his face. Her earlobes became warm. Of course, he's handsome, but he's not the only handsome guy she has seen since she came here, and yet she's acting so stupid all over again. 

'But it was the same for the other person.'

She also enjoyed looking at his face to her heart's content, so it must be okay. Kanna cleared her throat and suppressed her agitated heart.

"It's done."

"Thank you."

He answered in a stiff voice. 

"I know it's rude to say this, but I would appreciate it if you could just leave."

It was an uncharacteristically strong tone. She, too, wanted to get out as quickly as possible, so she got out quickly. It was only after closing the door that Kanna let out a sigh of relief. And she couldn't understand her own reaction. 

'Why did I run away like this?'

She didn't even say good night. Besides, Kanna was planning to properly say thank you for saving her earlier...

'I couldn't do a single thing.' 

Now, she can't knock again and say thank you. 

'There will be another chance.'
