IWLUBCD - Chapter 55




'It's cool.'

A cool texture that feels firm yet soft and soothes an angry body.

I instinctively clung to it and dug deeper.

Then as if it had been waiting, it wrapped around my body.

As if he was trying to give me the water of life.

“Umm...”

How much time has passed like that?

My eyes slowly opened as the nightmares and even the stifling heat of the field disappeared.

Then what came into my sight was.

“...Carsis?”

It was Carsis looking down at me with a slightly relaxed face.

A man was looking at me with red eyes that I was completely unfamiliar with, mixed with a reproach that seemed to be asking if I had only just woken up.

I stared at the man for a long time, then slowly opened and closed my eyes repeatedly as if trying to figure out the situation.

And.

'Huh?'

Suddenly, I realized that the man's body touching my chest was completely naked, and I abruptly got up from my seat.

I, who had wrapped myself in a white sheet in an instant, stuttered.

“Ca, Carsis! Why you! No, more than that, why... huff!”

But was it wrong to snatch the sheet?

The man's well-built body stole my gaze. And naturally, my eyes gradually moved downward. Past his chest, to his abs, and to the place visible under the sheet that was draped precariously.

For a moment as if struck by lightning, my eyes began to wander as if I had lost track of where to go.

'Why is he taking off his clothes again!'

I swallowed hard the words I couldn't bring myself to say.

At the same time, I barely managed to raise my gaze as it kept going down.

'Are you crazy? You took off all your clothes!'

I was wearing a chemise, but it was so thin that you could almost tell I wasn't wearing anything.

As soon as my mind reached that point, harsh images suddenly popped into my head and tormented me.

As I was shaking my head as if blaming myself.

Carsis raised his body and placed his hand on my forehead.

“Thank goodness, the fever has gone down.”

"...Fever?"

Only then did I recall my memories, realizing that I had been sick.

'Come to think of it, I was having a nightmare and was suffering from body aches.'

A headache that started in the early evening plagued me all day.

I was about to go to bed early because I wasn't getting better even after taking medicine.

'You were trying to heal me because I was sick.'

“That thought of yours wasn’t wrong,” said Carsis.

“Come here, I will make you better.”

“...Huh? I feel like I’m already better?”

At my reaction, wind escaped from Carsis's mouth.

“That can’t be true. I haven’t even done it yet.”

“Ha, not even...?”

“I can’t do it while you’re asleep.”

Soon I nodded in agreement with his words.

'That's right. Sleeping together without consent is a bit... No, what is that!'

I let out a silent scream and squeezed my eyes shut.

Then he began to explain to Carsis.

“I, I was really sick just a little while ago, you know. I’m fine now. I’m completely fine!”

I tried to somehow avoid this moment by appealing that my body was completely healed.

It was when Carsis smiled broadly at the sight of me that he found me amusing.

I stopped dead in my tracks as if I had seen something I shouldn't have seen.

“Anyway, I’m all better now, so can you go back... Carsis?”

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the air around me become heavier in an instant.

Then, the face of Carsis, with the corners of his mouth tightly shut, came into view.

“What about earrings?”

"What?"

In an instant, he came up to my nose and stroked my earlobe with his finger.

"Earring."

With an expression on his face that I had never seen before.

“Where is it?”

'Earring?'

It was when I who did not understand what Carsis was saying for a moment, just blinked my eyes.

Only after he asked me again did I softly answer, remembering that I had taken my earrings out during the day because of the inflammation.

“It’s over there...”

“Why did you take it off?”

“I just... I, I feel sick...”

Is there any reason why I shouldn't take off my earrings?

I suppressed my desire to retort, “Why are you asking so many questions?” and answered him obediently.

What can I do if my pride is hurt? I have no choice but to keep my mouth shut since I don't remember anything.

"Inflammation..."

At the word inflammation, Carsis turned my head, placing his finger on my chin.

Then his gaze fell on my left earlobe.

I guess it was like that for a while.

Carsis just stared at my earlobe, wondering what on earth I was thinking.

'Oh, really.'

It was burdensome, too burdensome.

What kind of inflammation is it that you're staring at so intently?

My slightly bent neck began to hurt.

At this moment, I was about to pull away Carsis' hand that was holding ny chin, telling him to stop looking.

Something wet, cool, and hot began to tease my ears.

“Yes, wait a minute...!”

Why are you suddenly licking my ear?

My body shrank back at Carsis' unexpected actions.

“Carsis, there..."

I shut my eyes tightly at the unfamiliar sensation.

However, contrary to my intention to avoid it, when my vision was blocked, all my nerves were focused on Carsis's tongue flickering.

As if that was the only sensation I could feel.

At first, he swept me slowly and gently.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ugh...”

As if he had never been so gentle, his movements gradually began to become stronger.

I knew why Carsis was licking my ear.

He intends to use his healing powers to heal me.

'But why...'

It's just an inflammation that's not very noticeable.

‘Why is it like this...’

Are you digging in so persistently?

Whether to cure or torment.

The way Carsis's tongue teased my ears was not ordinary.

A sticky, obscene sound quickly filled the silence between us.

My mind began to turn blank like a sheet of paper at the dizzying sensation I was experiencing for the first time.

‘When on earth will it end...’

I felt a lump in my lower stomach as the act took longer than expected.

Even though I was sitting on the bed, my hands on Carsis' shoulders were as desperate as someone hanging from the edge of a cliff.

As if barely holding back something.

'This is treatment. Carsis is just treating it now!'

As I was constantly repeating this to myself, I was unconsciously suppressing the excitement that was welling up in me.

Carsis, who had suddenly pulled me away from me, gradually moved away.

Then he got out of bed and headed somewhere.

“Carsis...?”

I opened my eyes, startled by the suddenly cold air.

But soon, I turned my head away upon seeing Carsis' naked body.

A little later.

In his hand, which had come close to me before I knew it, was my earring.

"Miss."

Carsis held my chin with one hand and stroked my ear with the other.

When Carsis' hand brushed against my ears, which had been extremely sensitive, my body flinched noticeably.

Carsis, who had been admiring my face, brought his lips to my ear again.

“Don’t take it off again.”

Hot breath tickled my ears.

“I’ll check it every night.”

Whether you are wearing this or not.

He said with a low laugh and a joking tone.

Putting the earring back where it should be.

The strange foreign body penetrating my earlobe felt cold.

“Uh, yeah...”

All I could do was comply.

***

The next morning.

The sun had long since risen to its zenith, but I had no intention of getting out of bed.

"Ha..."
