SPMB - Chapter 215

My Body Has Been Possessed By Someone

That night, after taking a bath, Kanna went straight to see Raphael.

"Raphael, can I come in?"

"Please come in."

When she opened the door and went in, Kanna saw Raphael in a bathrobe.

"I feel like we didn't talk properly earlier. Can we talk now?"

"Of course. Please sit down and wait for a moment. I will change my clothes and come back."

But Kanna shook her head.

"It's okay."

"Yes?"

"You don't have to change. Come sit next to me."

Raphael looked at her silently and then nodded.

"All right."

He sat down next to the sofa.

'It's different when you see it like this.'

This is the first time he is seen wearing something other than a priest's uniform. Even a bathrobe.

Kanna didn't know much about the priest's clothes because they were loose clothing that covered the body, but looking at him like this, he was really big.

His shoulders, forearms, thighs, and bone structure were thick, so even though he was sitting politely with his back bent, he felt intimidated.

As Kanna looked at him, she felt like she was just a handful of tiny lumps.

"As I said before, you had a hard time."

"No."

"No, you worked really hard."

Kanna hesitated before confessing. The story goes that time passed until he turned white.

But Raphael didn't even blink. He didn't even seem surprised.

"Aren't you surprised? You heard you turned white and died."

"I don't understand why you are surprised."

"What?"

"Isn't that a worthy death? It's an honor for me. I would have been grateful to you even at the moment of my death."

Those words reminded her of Raphael when he was a seventeen-year-old boy.

'You mean they're the same person?'

She couldn't believe it, so she started laughing. But it truly happened.

And now, it was time to take responsibility for it.

"And I have one more thing to tell you."

"Please speak."

"I turned back time when I saw you with white bones... It went back a long time ago." 

Raphael could not answer those words. He just quietly focused his eyes on the wine glass on the table.

"Was the milk that delicious?"

Raphael closed his eyes. A silent shiver ran through his entire body.

It was her first time seeing such loud emotional turmoil in him.

After a while, Raphael opened his eyes. His gaze was still focused on the glass.

"At that time, I...."

The end of his words became blurred. Kanna reached out to his face. Her fingertips touched the ends of his wet hair, then moved down to stroke his smooth cheek.

"Raphael."

"Yes."

"I'm a bit old to be fooled by the words of a seventeen-year-old boy."

When she glanced down, she saw a fist full of power.

But the moment she blinked, his fists were loose. Kanna felt relaxed again.

"I understand what you're saying."

He said calmly. The tone was so calm that it was boring.

"But I meant it when I said I didn't want compensation."

"Yes?"

"Yes. So don't misunderstand."

"I see."

"I don't want anything."

Raphael answered quietly.

"Nothing."

He meant it.

He didn't want anything from Kanna.

He wasn't sad at all when she abandoned him. There was some regret, but that was all.

Did he wait until he turned white?

It was natural. Isn't that what he wanted?

A worthy death.

A better death than the trash-like death in the back alley that he should have faced in the first place. That was all he wanted.

That's it.

"Is there nothing you wish for?"

"That's right."

"Well, then what......."

Kanna muttered bitterly and took her hand away from his face.

"Then I guess I'll have to go again. I wanted to give you a special reward because you waited until you turned white."

Kanna got up. She turned around.

"Raphael, good night......."

Suddenly, she stopped speaking.

"..."

Kanna slowly lowered her head.

His grip was on her wrist.

Kanna's gaze moved up his arm and finally checked his face.

Raphael was still staring at the wine glass. The expression and eyes were the same.

It was the same nobility as when he declared that he had nothing to wish for.

Only his hands were different.

He grabbed her wrist, held her up, and didn't let her go.

It was an impulse. It was a desire that could not be suppressed and a strong regret. A deep sense of self-reproach comes from that grasp.

But Kanna did not laugh. Because he was too fierce to laugh. She just waited. Even holding his breath, she hopes he reveals his true feelings.

How long has it been like that?

After a death-like struggle, his lips were carefully opened.

Then it stopped again. It was a voice that forcibly suppressed the boiling heat.

"Has this made me a perfect servant?"

"Huh."

"Are you sure?"

"Huh."

"Speak with your own mouth."

He spoke sternly, almost to the point of being stern.

"I am your perfect servant. Please speak."

"Raphael."

"Hurry."

A spark flew at the low voice. Kanna obediently followed his words.

"You are my perfect servant."

"..."

"So, I will compensate you as promised. Raphael, just for today....."

He was speechless for a moment.

"You can do whatever you want."

It was something Kanna had never easily said to anyone. But to Raphael, no words were worth it.

Finally, Raphael turned his head and stared at her. He always had calm, uninterestingly plain eyes....

At this moment, his purple eyes had completely changed their nature.

As if to hide it, Raphael lowers his head.

However, it doesn't last long before slowly lifting again.

Kanna looked. The beast hiding in the dark pit slowly reveals itself.

"The way I want?"

The spell is broken. Piece by piece, shattered. The spell that had deceived even himself finally lost its power and a lava-like elation boiled up.

Kanna smiled.

"Huh."

Raphael's eyes twinkled darkly. He went dark. He goes down. In an infinitely shady underground space, he descended to the abyss beneath the floor.

Even where boxes that should not be opened were buried.

"Don't say such scary things. You will definitely regret it."

"I don't regret it, nothing."

"No. It's not possible."

Unable to bear the excitement, his lips trembled.

"You can't let me do whatever I want."

"No, that's okay."

Kanna spoke softly, as if soothing a child.

"Anyway, you're not going to do anything I don't want you to do."

Raphael nodded. Of course, he wouldn't do something she didn't want to do. Because he wants her....

Does he love her?

Raphael suddenly became curious.

Does he love this woman?

He didn't know what this thirst was. The 17 years of living at the roots of the World Tree have ruined too many things to discuss such affection.

His mind became dull like a worn-out blade and lost its function. There was so little emotional material left that there were days when he couldn't feel anything. In fact, most days were like that.

However, at that moment when he was seventeen, he remember the shock that felt like heaven and earth were changing.

The flash of light that split his body, the trembling feeling.

Raphael admitted. He came all the way here because he couldn't forget that heat, the one thunderstorm that struck his extremely dry life.

A first kiss like a thunderbolt completely changed the trajectory of his life.

From then on, his life was solely about her. It was his life struggling with all his might to reach only her.

He became a white skeleton in a future that never happened? 

He could guess himself at that moment.

It must have been an ecstatic wait. Even until the very end, when his flesh rotted and crumbled, he would only think of her.

A smile like sunshine. Soft skin. A thin waist. Sweet scent.

Yeah, like now.

Just thinking about it makes him feel hot, really....

He swallowed. His mouth was so dry that it hurt. The purple eyes were shining like those of an animal that had been starved to the point of bone. He poured out his sincerity like a hungry breath.

"I want to reach you."

If that's possible, it's okay if his whole body rots and crumbles. He doesn't mind dying as a white bone.

If this is love, it must be love.

If this isn't love, what is love?

"Answer, please. Can I touch you?"

He was so heated that his voice cracked and his sentences came to a halt.

Kanna replied.

Raphael raised his hand as if waiting. He pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

The moment he touched her soft skin, he felt dizzy. He bit by bit, and he endured what he wanted to beat with his teeth. His eagerness was directed to her lips, burning her like a soldering iron.

"You are..."

He drew out the sentence with difficulty. He had to do everything he could because he felt like he would become something other than human the moment he lost his mind.

"You are my master."

"Huh."

"And I am your servant."

"Huh."

"Don't let me forget that."

She stretched out her hand, leaving behind something she couldn't tell whether it was advice or a warning. 

The moment he cupped her cheek, Raphael bit the inside of her mouth. The sensation was so ecstatic that she felt like moaning.

Kanna's face was lifted up.

The head rising obediently, the eyelids slowly closing, the eyelashes fluttering profusely, that permission was such a great stimulus.

The tip of her nose was sore and her head was spinning.

Hot. His heart aches. Everything felt like it was going to explode and explode.

"Please control me."

The last sound left his mouth. A breath as hot rushed in along with something slippery.

Ah...... 

A sigh flowed from his mouth.

Yes. This is it.

Stimulations, sensations, and electric currents that seemed to revive even the dead flashed, hidden in the deep sea, and secretly longed for without anyone knowing.

The shock went through her from head to toe.

At that moment, her mind froze.

Everything, perfectly.
