TMTNO - Chapter 26



Magic Tower Master, Yuno.

He was born to a wealthy nobleman and a commoner woman.

His father pretended not to know Yuno, and his mother married a noble woman, and his mother sold Yuno as a newborn.

Yuno lives as a slave until his magical powers are revealed, and he suffered during his slavery...

A sigh escapes me.

“Do you know how much pain it was for my body to become like this?”

I answered in silence.

“Are you avoiding it?”

I covered my face with both hands in surprise, but glanced between my fingers.

Oh my god, what kind of crazy person made that?

Yeah, me.

Yuno's center was not normal, and even when he grabbed me by the collar and shook me, I had nothing to say.

I felt so sorry, but I couldn't take my eyes off him, so I kept looking.

"I was sad that my parents abandoned me and that I was a slave. Why was I born this way?"

The emotions that come with a boyish, innocent voice are anger and sadness.

“If that’s the case, it would have been better if my body were normal, but of all things. Of all things!”

“...”

"They said they'd pay more because my body was like this. They said it was unique. They said it was worth playing with."

Oh my god.

“You should know better. You made it happen.”

I didn't know it was like that there, but anyway, it was my fault, so I had nothing to say even if I had a hundred mouths.

For a moment, his golden eyes became moist, and tears flowed down from under his glasses.

I felt the urge to wipe it, but I held my hand tight.

Yuno bit his plump lips and spoke in a slightly irritated voice.

“Take responsibility.”

"Yes?"

“Because of you, I’m sure I’ll be alone for the rest of my life. So take responsibility!”

An excited Yuno ran towards me.

“Yes, yes, wait a minute! Why don’t you put on some clothes and then talk?”

...His excited ears seemed to be unable to hear anything, so I had no choice but to use force.

Let's use the strength we've built up by lifting heavy loads at the general store!

“Yay!”

I laid the slender Yuno in my arms on the sofa and quickly adjusted his pants.

Luckily, he didn't use magic, and my body was hit several times while I was organizing it, but whatever.

The wizard's body, which barely moved and executed everything with magic, was soft and supple.

In the moment of pause at the deadly musk scent, the positions were reversed.

“I have no one but you.”

“Wait a minute, Yuno. I’m an Author.”

"I know."

The red flag-tinged golden eyes rippled dangerously.

"I won't tell anyone about this. You're the only one who knows my past and my shame."

“That’s true, Yuno.”

“So, you can’t abandon me. Take responsibility for me.”

The strength that came from his slender body was not something to be underestimated.

Rather than pushing forward with brute force, Yuno would grab my hair and pull me away, but tears of sorrow streamed down his face.

Droplets of water dripped off his half-off glasses, soaking me. He soon hugged me tightly.

Then, I comforted Magic Tower Master, who was crying with his face buried in my chest, by patting his back.

"Yuno, there are many bad things in the world. Your bad things are nothing."

“Then you take responsibility for me?”

"Wait a minute. You don't have long to live, do you? Later on, someone may appear who embraces you completely."

There are very few people who would dislike you for your looks, power, fame, and wealth.

And that, too, would appeal to people who like something different. Actually, I kind of like it too.

“So don’t judge too hastily-”

“-I don’t like it! You take responsibility for me!”

If the other person were to act so recklessly, I would be angry, but since they have a face that makes me want to protect them, I feel like I have to nod.

“Come on, calm down and-”

“-Sleep with me.”

Magic Tower Master suddenly raised his head and demanded.

"...Yes?"

"It's all your fault I've become so twisted and timid. So sleep with me."

Oh, I was a little shocked.

But who am I? A Retri Extra with an iron wall!

“Yuno, you have to be connected to sleep together.”

“You know how I feel. Tell me what’s on your mind, and then you can go to sleep!”

Yuno, who had sat down on top of me, cried out. His transparent tears fluttered through the air.

Wow, a person can be pretty like that.

"Ahem, this isn't the time for this," I said solemnly, clearing my throat.

“It is said that only when our hearts communicate with each other without speaking can we truly connect physically.”

“I don’t like it, I ...”

His robe flowed down as he shook his head, revealing his delicate shoulders.

“Yuno!”

When I called his name loudly, he bit his lip and began to cry sadly.

"Do you like me? No, I don't. Right now, I feel a little out of sorts. Yes, take a deep breath."

"I like you."

"...huh?"

“I like you even when your eyes are ridiculously swollen.”

This guy, why did you have to poke at a sore spot?

“I waited for you to talk to me, but you didn’t.”

“...”

“I waited for you to take the elevator when you asked me to, but you didn’t even say you wanted to take it.”

“Then why didn’t you come pick me up at mealtime?”

“You were surprised when you saw me.”

It seemed like the Magic Tower Master had discovered more about me than I had discovered through observation.

The last teardrop rolled down his cheek and fell on me.

Similarly, wet lips touched.

It was salty yet sweet.

Yuno, whose long eyelashes were brimming with tears, seemed to be unable to let go for a while.

"Great."

He spoke haughtily, even though he had fallen while panting.

“Then talk to me and do this too.”

"What?"

"Kiss."

"Yes."

Yuno stood there blankly for a moment, perhaps not expecting me to readily agree. Then, he leaned down again and kissed me.

The unexpected guest wandered around, lost. Left alone, he began poking around on his own. He even paused for a moment.

After a long time, his face fell like a carrot.

The ball looks soft and squishy, ​​so when I poke it, it turns redder. Wow, that's amazing.

“Yes, Yuno.”

"Why?"

“How can you be sure you like me?”

Yuno frowned, as if he didn't understand.

"You've only known me for a few days. Yeah, it's been ten days, and today's the first time we've spoken. So how can you possibly think you like me?"

“I think about who likes it.”

Yuno said as if he didn't even know that.

“I know because my heart speaks.”

"Aha..."

This is also a line that the Magic Tower Master said to the female protagonist.

The story seems to be contradictory, but strangely overlaps.

...If the heroine appears, what will you say?

A chill ran down my spine for a moment, but I shook my head to clear my mind.

“Then how did you know I was an Author? Weren’t you surprised?”

As I stroked his head, Yuno snuggled into me. He buried his nose in my neck, breathing softly, and then spoke obediently.

"Everyone recognizes that there are worlds other than the one we are currently in. Even the places where dragons and fairies live are, if you think about it, different from the places where humans live."

"Yes."

“Dragons live in different dimensions depending on their type, and the same goes for fairies.”

...I see.

I didn't know because I'd never set it up this detailed before, but I nodded as if I knew.

“So, I made the assumption that there could be multiple worlds where humans live.”

"Aha."

“Around that time, I read two books.”

"...book?"

“It was a book written in a language I didn’t know.”

There's a language that Yuno, who has mastered the languages ​​of this world, doesn't know?

"Well, I managed to read it eventually. The book had my name, the Chancellor's, and the Knight Commander's names written on it."

...no way...

“Most of the letters were faded, and the latter part was lost, so I couldn’t make out the overall content.”

Please, please, please.

I hope it's not what I think.

“On the very first page, there was a preface that said, ‘This came from my delusions.’”

Aaaah ...

Why are you coming out of there!

Is this one of those printed copies? Why is it wandering around here?

“I don’t know exactly what cerebral delusion means, but-”

“-Euaaaaaaaaaah!”

Stop talking!

I know too!

Ah, hearing it directly from someone else's mouth, I feel like I can immediately lose my mind. Moreover, I can be certain that the book Yuno discovered is genuine.

When I suddenly shouted, Yuno's eyes widened.

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

“Yes? No. Continue what you were saying.”

Ah, I feel so weak, like I've starved for about three months.

Yuno continued talking to me, snickering.

“That book was used to summon you, and it disappeared as soon as the summoning ritual was completed.”

Phew, thank goodness. It's terrifying to imagine someone seeing the product of those numbers again!

But it's strange.

Tiyongtiyongtiyongtiyong!

The red alarm, which had been silent for a while, began to sound crazy.

Hey, what could possibly get worse?

“Then what about the other one?”

“...”

“What book is it?”

“A book about you.”

"...what?"

“Retri Extra, it was a book that recorded your life story.”
