TMTNO - Chapter 27




In a writing class, we were asked to write a one-page essay about ourselves.

It was definitely not a book worth reading,

“Who was the author?”

“Retri Extra.”

There's no way I would have submitted a liberal arts assignment under a pen name!

I don't even know the story, so I don't even want to imagine what it might contain.

“Can I see that book?”

Even though I asked cautiously, Yuno was blatantly wary.

"No. Do you know what would happen if I showed you that? What if it became the 'key' to your escape?"

“Then you can show it from afar.”

“Magic activation doesn’t depend on distance, so it’s not possible.”

“I can’t do magic?”

“You can’t do that because you’re an Author.”

...For an Author, what can I say? I'm very petty and shabby.

"Can't you just tell me what it says? I've never written a book like that."

Yuno, who had been staring at me intently, slowly opened his pink lips.

“It was a short biography written by Retri Extra. It described the things you experienced.”

"Yes?"

I really don't remember writing it.

When I showed interest, Yuno blushed and explained earnestly.

“I found this in the palace library, but the back part was damaged.”

“That, that book from earlier was like that too.”

"That one had been left unattended for a long time and was damaged. This one had a missing back, as if someone had torn it apart. Even with trace tracking magic, I couldn't tell the exact location."

"Aha..."

If anyone has seen that book, could it be the Crown Prince?

A person who has disappeared from this world.

“But, can I really not do it?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“I’m curious about that.”

Oh my, that!

“Still you!”

I touched Yuno's shoulder as he leaned his upper body towards me.

“You are young!”

“I’m an adult this year. I mean, an adult.”

Yuno, who had a sad expression on his face, pushed me again, and I fell down as well.

I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, but I pretended not to notice and tried to push the slender wizard away.

“I was really curious about you.”

“...”

“What do you look like? What color is your hair? How tall are you?”

Within the golden frame, a certain feeling gradually builds.

“And what kind of voice will you use and how will you speak?”

“...”

“How does it feel? Is your blood red?”

"Yes."

I answered quickly, afraid that I might be dissected.

“I wonder about you.”

“Why were you curious?”

I asked in a strange voice.

Dietrich said he called me to deny the fact that this is a virtual world.

If I don't appear when you summon me, you can dismiss the contents of the book as a coincidence.

I mentioned a door on Atla's Hill, but this is not a setting I wrote about.

Maybe Yuno knows why this world has become like this, or perhaps he even has a clue.

Then I just have to let it go and go back to my world!

“You created the world.”

Yes?

"Creating the world is something only gods can do. It's something that only happens in myths."

Why are you saying something different from Dietrich?

"I didn't believe in God, but the fact that you exist forced me to change my assumptions. But that's okay."

"...Why?"

“Because you are the one who made me realize that everything I had was just prejudice!”

His golden eyes sparkled, and I slowly pulled back.

“God? There really is a god in this world.”

We're in big trouble.

The wizard's obsession mode to uncover all the truth of this world has been activated.

“I wonder.”

Yuno's voice became very small.

“Your everything.”

What I saw in those golden eyes was madness.

Red alert is on!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

“Hey, hey, hey, hey!”

At the same time, there was a squeaking sound of clothes being torn.

“Yuno!”

“Let me know.”

Who wouldn't call him a curious experimenter?

A pink tongue licked my exposed collarbone for a long time.

“It tastes sweet.”

How sweet is your body!

“Does it taste the same everywhere?”

“That, that’s not right!”

The wizard who licked my cheek snorted.

“No.”

The red alert makes a sound I've never heard before.

Waaaaaaaaaaah!

“Hoho, hohoho. Really? I guess so.”

“I wonder where it comes from and what it tastes like. Just stay still.”

“No, baby!”

I shouted with all my might at the wizard who was trying to open my clothes.

Yuno paused. As an orphan, he hated being treated like a child, but at the same time, he was so happy about it that he didn't know what to do.

“Honey, this isn’t it.”

I gently took his hand away and comforted him.

“Honey, this will be later. This won’t do.”

As I stroked his arm and soothed him, the young man, who had been standing there for a while, slowly moved away from me. Then he helped me up.

“I want to taste this much.”

He buried his face between the clothes that moved freely and stuck his tongue out again.

“Yuno!”

I grabbed his hair and pulled on it, and it came right back.

“Here, it’s delicious.”

He said, licking my lips wickedly with his tongue.

Gazing into the sparkling golden eyes, I hastily buttoned up my clothes.

That was dangerous just now!

Yuno, unaware of my feelings, leaned his head on my shoulder and hugged me.

“From now on, eat together with me.”

"Yes."

“Let’s read a book together.”

“I don’t read difficult books.”

“There is no difficult book in the world.”

That's your standard.

"I've seen you with your eyes closed a lot, but I haven't seen you with them open very often. So, I want to be with you when you're open, too. A lot."

“...Have you been to my room?”

"Yes."

I wanted to ask why he was so confident, but since there was no one here who was right, I decided to skip it.

“Don’t come here again.”

"Why?"

He frowned sharply.

“Because I don’t like it.”

“Tch.”

It was cute that he clicked his tongue, but he didn't change his answer.

“On the days you decide to be with me, sleep with me.”

“I’ll allow it if you just hold my hand and sleep together.”

“Tch.”

Even though he clicked his tongue, Yuno nuzzled his head into my neck.

By the way, another book I wrote. Since Yuno doesn't seem to have any intention of showing it to me, I guess I'll have to gradually persuade him or sneak a peek.

I guess it'll take more time to uncover the secret.

The position is the female protagonist, but somehow, nothing is easy. I've never set the difficulty of conquering the crazy guys to be difficult.

“Yuno, I’m going to change my clothes, so do you want to go out?”

“Where?”

“I saw a small island over there from my room. I want to go there.”

“So, you’re saying you’re going to leave the tower?”

"Yes."

Yuno's reaction was that he didn't understand at all.

"Why?"

"Because I want to go. What if I can't go? Can't I just teleport there?"

“Who let you out of the tower?”

...huh?

“You can’t get out of here.”

Hmm... huh?

What the heck, a handsome middle-aged man said I could go out!

The conditions weren't very good, but am I really not allowed to go?

"While I'm at it, should I cast a binding spell on you? So you can't go anywhere."

“What are you talking about!”

I hit Yuno's head with a book as he tried to make magic happen.

“It hurts!”

“Oh, sorry. But I’ll have to decline the spell.”

He pursed his lips and seemed to be pondering something for a moment.

“Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it.”

"Why."

“Because I don’t like it.”

“You did something bad to me, too, didn’t you?”

I was speechless.

But if I lose here, my freedom will truly be over.

Voluntary confinement and forced confinement are different!

“You could ask me to take responsibility instead.”

"Uh."

“So, so, do you prefer that place being fine earlier so you can't ask me to take responsibility, or do you prefer asking me to take responsibility?”

The answer to return was clear.

“Tch.”

Yuno, who clicked his tongue, stopped generating magical power.

“Instead, wherever you go, hold my hand and walk with me.”

He's hesitantly watching me. He was so powerful in the unnecessary parts earlier, but now I can't get used to it.

Who described the extreme personality of the Magic Tower Master, who is usually gentle but suddenly changes as if he has been covered in powder?

Yeah, me.

“Yes, good.”

He smiles brightly as permission is granted.

This is a face that really suits the word angel.

After that, Yuno stuck to me.

It was only for two days, though.

***

Honestly, when Yuno lay down next to me at night, I was incredibly nervous. I was afraid he'd push me too hard and start a fuss, insisting we do it again.

But these worries were in vain, as he fell asleep as soon as he lay his head on the pillow.

Instead, I was busy walking around with my hand on his arm during the day and asking him all sorts of questions.

Usually, one question was repeated...

“Can I kiss you?”

"Yes."

A man about a finger joint taller than me tilted his head slightly.

Every time the musk scent filled my lungs, I laughed out loud.

Yuno, panting on his own and opening his lips, blushed deeply and grabbed my finger.

“I did it, so you do it this time.”

"Yes?"

When I asked again because I couldn't hear clearly, his long eyelashes fluttered.

“What, Yuno? I didn’t hear you.”

“Kiss, kiss, kiss me!”
