TMTNO - Chapter 18



“Take this out!”

I shook my chained ankles.

"Hurry!"

I urged Dietrich, who had returned after half a day, but he just chuckled.

“It suits you pretty well. Are you going to keep doing it?”

“You! Then you will be punished?”

"Hmph."

Dietrich's face, which had been smiling as if it were a joke, suddenly twisted. He repeated the same behavior he'd shown me this morning and then slowly untied the chains.

He stood at a distance and looked at me as if I had cast a spell and made his body uncomfortable.

I didn't do anything?

It feels bad to be treated like a criminal, but I'll bear it because he just showed me something good.

A moment later, Dietrich arrived with boxes of all sizes. He brought a table and lined it up.

“Look.”

“What is all this?”

“If you need it, take it all.”

"Yes?"

"Didn't you need money? Then why don't you just take them?"

Dietrich laid out before me a collection of jewels of all kinds. I even saw the relics of a former duchess who had already passed away.

I don't know about the others, but I've read that the blue diamond necklace, earrings, and bracelet set are treasures passed down through generations in the Duke Beluga's family.

By the way, instead of asking for a hundred gold coins, I asked for a jewel.

“Shish won’t give me my money?”

Silence returned.

“You didn’t even ask?”

I poked it just in case, and it flinched, so I guess it's real.

“What, you brought me here on your own and you don’t even listen to simple things?”

The face of the knight commander, who was harsh but never broke his promises, turned red as if he was going to burst.

“Then let me meet Shish in person.”

“I don’t like it.”

"Why?"

Only silence returned.

“Why on earth do you and Shish want to keep me by your side?”

“...Because I was curious about you.”

Right, now we're talking about something within the realm of common sense.

“Now you’ve seen me. Isn’t that the end?”

“...”

“You said you didn’t want to see me. Am I the one who makes you uncomfortable?”

“...”

“I told you I’d disappear on my own?”

The reason I can escape this world and return to my original world is that, although I haven't personally experienced it, there is a theory in this world that relates to it.

The heroine, who came from another world, initially wants to return to the world where she was born and raised.

While describing such a heroine, I described how to return to the original world.

Because the world in which the heroine lives in the novel and this world are of equal dimensions.

A world where you can open and close "doors" to leave. As long as you find the right passage, it's just like the house next door.

As for effectiveness, it's something you don't know until you experience it yourself.

But isn't it likely that there is a world that we thought was simply a world of letters, and that there is a way to get to another world from here?

“Dietrich?”

I have to leave for a place called 'the end of the world.' I need money to get there, so I'm working part-time at a general store...

I've been thinking about it for a while, but I know this world isn't the place for me.

I am not the one who can save these men.

I gave you the pain, but unfortunately, I can't take it away. I don't have the strength or the resolve to do so.

All I can do is leave this story and wait for the male leads to meet the female leads.

"No."

I wait desperately for the other person's answer, but I hear something different from what I expected.

“You can’t go anywhere.”

...Deja vu?

“I won’t send you anywhere.”

Wait a minute, Dietrich?

You're not that kind of person.

“You need to be here. By my side.”

“Yes, yes, wait a minute. If you only look at me, again!”

Dietrich gritted his teeth. He then glared at me and moved his hand.

“You made me like this, so shouldn’t you take responsibility for it?”

Wait a minute, your attitude is changing too quickly.

Originally, you had to beg and beg later...?

“Hey, Dietrich. What year is it in the Imperial Calendar?”

This is not a place where the calendar is common even among commoners.

People live each year according to a regular pattern, but they are not aware of the exact number of years.

When there was a major event or incident at the national level, officials would post notices in the villages, or people like village chiefs would go around providing guidance.

Dietrich's condition was very bad, but he answered.

“It is the 123rd year of the Imperial Calendar.”

I was dizzy from the thoughtless date setting.

The year the female protagonist appears.

The current season here, with its four distinct seasons, is between spring and summer.

“Huh...?”

The female protagonist should have met the male protagonists long ago. But no one knows where she is.

Something is seriously wrong.

“Dietrich!”

I grabbed him by the collar, still trying to calm myself down. Something touched my body.

I was concerned, but I pretended not to notice.

"Haven't you seen it? The woman who catches your eye. The woman you want to hug. The woman who made your body like this!"

Dietrich gritted his teeth.

"You."

"Uh?"

“It’s you!”

He shook my hand away, took off his blue uniform, and carried me to the bed.

He roughly put me down and climbed on top of me, shouting angrily.

“I became like this when I saw you. Actually, I wanted to hug you from the moment I first saw you.”

Dietrich, who was a sword master and shouldn't have been out of breath, gasped for breath.

“I want you.”

...uh?

“At first, I was furious that that unlucky minister had taken you away. So I took you away with the intention of teasing him.”

Sapphire eyes stare at me without moving.

“You know better.”

"What?"

“What kind of body do I have?”

I turned my head to the side, unsure of meeting his cold eyes. But soon a large hand grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

"However,"

There I was, blankly staring at the other person.

"The moment I saw you, my body began to heat up. A surge of urge welled up in me to kill the prime minister who had monopolized you all this time."

“Dietrich.”

“Even if I go to the palace...”

His handsome face was distorted.

“I kept thinking of you.”

“...”

“Every time, my body became like this, so I couldn’t stay like this any longer.”

So that's why you came home early.

“But you say it can’t be fixed? How incompetent.”

I was at a loss for words because it hit me hard.

Dietrich, looking down at me, was still handsome, but now was not the time to be distracted by his face.

People concluded that Dietrich, who had no interest in the opposite sex, would never see the next generation. It must have been so bad that even the former Duke and Duchess held Dietrich and cried.

Is this the end of the Duke Beluga family?

Although he didn't show it, Dietrich was also quite stressed out by this.

The Beluga family is the Emperor's most loyal confidants and is also the family most favored by the Imperial Family.

Even Dietrich, who is captivated by the heroine, puts the Emperor's orders first.

For this reason, even the Emperor would invite Dietrich to a palace party and drug him, promising to introduce him to a woman, and if he was alone, wouldn't he send away a woman?

For this reason, this man began to hate women even more.

"I thought meeting you would make me ordinary like everyone else. But no?"

The red lips twisted.

“Even just looking at you makes me excited. How can something be so ridiculous?”

"Hey, Dietrich. Just give me a little time. Then-"

“-Then, what?”

Dietrich, with his twisted smile, looked quite dangerous.

"Can you solve this problem? How much time do you need?"

I couldn't answer.

"Ha."

He tilted his head as if it wasn't funny and asked aggressively.

“What the hell are you?”

“So, Author?”

"Yes, the Author. The woman who made me like this."

Dietrich's teeth were chattering so fast, it was terrifying. He could break my neck with his fingers!

'Running! Run, run, run!'

I can hear the red alert aircraft moving actively.

“You made me like this, so you have to take responsibility.”

As soon as he finished speaking, something soft touched my cheek. It was touched with a hot breath and slowly moved downward.

Towards the lips.

Strong arms hugged my waist. I pushed his broad shoulders away. But he wasn't pushed at all.

“Dietrich, wait, ah.”

Something hot entered through my parted mouth. It was a clumsy, awkward movement, but it felt strange and unfamiliar, and I paused.

The hand that had been pushing his shoulder lost its strength. Meanwhile, the strong arm that had been holding me in its embrace tightened its grip, and my chest was pressed against the firm chest.

The hot thing that touched the lower part revealed its presence on its own.

My body also became uncomfortable with the feeling of being teased, but I bit my partner's tongue to avoid being fooled by it.

Then my mouth became free.

"Author."

The sound of someone calling me while panting was released.

"Dietrich, it's me. Me! The one who made you like this! Do you want to be with someone like that?"

"Uh."

No, this isn't it.

“I want to do it. I want to do it so badly I’m going crazy.”

I struggled, but every time I did, my body was just rubbing against the opponent's.

“I want you.”

"Get a grip. Calm your mind like you would when you were training—"

“-I’ve done that too. I’ve run hundreds of laps around the training ground and even soaked myself in cold water!”

Blue eyes flashed.

"My head was so full of you, it was useless. It was like you cast a spell on me."

I know what's going to happen next.

I raised my hand in a panic to cover Dietrich's mouth, but my opponent was one step faster.

“I want to hold you.”
