Novel Full 543 Hostile Interruption
How could I forget that experience? Maria basically forced me on the bed and—!!!
‘Don’t tell me we’re going to do that again?!’
I didn’t want to admit it, but the thought of that got me excited. Still…
‘Not here! If anyone sees us—!!!’
Unfortunately, it was too late. I wasn’t fast enough. My legs were too weak too. It wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t resist.
I just… wanted it over with quickly.
“Then, if you remember… then can you make your decision more in my favor? Just consider it. That’s how you can take responsibility.” Maria’s hand brushed my cheek as she spoke.
My eyes widened as I felt her sincere smile wash over me. It felt… completely different, and my heart began racing at an unbelievable speed.
‘N-no way…!’
She was so close to me.
“Just think of me a little more… that’s all.”
“I un—”
“Shhh…” Her finger was on my lips at this point, and I found myself unable to move.
“Do you understand, Jared? Not Aloe Vida. Not Ana. Not Lemi. Not Ciara. Think about me…”
I understood why she would say that about the others, but why did Maria even mention the last name?
“I’m just being thorough.” As if she read my mind, she answered.
“You’re pretty cute when you’re flustered, you know?”
“A-ah…!”
I didn’t know Maria was so good at flirting. If I was being honest, she was far better than Emilia.
‘So that last time wasn’t a fluke. But, this is too… how did she become so intense?!’
It is said that everyone had dual sides to them. Was this the part of herself that Maria had been hiding from everyone else?
Rather than the prim and proper young lady, this teasing girl was almost a total stranger.
Still…
… I didn’t dislike it.
“Thank you?” I managed to leak my voice out in a squeak.
“You’re welcome!”
With that, Maria backed off a little, giving me a little breathing room.
‘That was… intense!’
>BRRRMMMMMMM<
The Arcana in my grasp suddenly resonated with me, causing me to look at it for a moment.
“What is this…?”
My eyes flashed at it as it kept warbling and beeping incessantly.
“Why is it doing that?” Maria drew closer once again, also curious—most likely.
As we got closer, I felt an intense surge of emotions… and something else.
“H-hold on—!”
But, it was too late at that point.
>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!<
******************
Suddenly, light descended upon both the boy and girl, immersing them with its terrifying might.
As the heated wave cascaded over them, razing the entire area in the process, someone hovered in the air with a satisfied smile plastered on his face.
His pointed ears perked out of the long silver hair he possessed, and the beautiful multicolored wings behind him displayed his splendor.
“Sickening…” He whispered, condescendingly glaring at the crater he had formed thanks to his attack.
This entity was none other than Beruel, The Fairy King.
“They got their guards down, so I could easily strike. Just who are those idiots..?”
Frankly speaking, Beruel had been watching them the blond and silver-haired humans for some time now.
He could have struck at any moment, but he thought they could at least give him some information before ending their lives.
After listening in for some time, he discovered that the human boy was indeed in the possession of a newly discovered Arcana, and that the other members of their company were not preset.
Wasn’t it the best moment to strike?
But, the humans started acting indecently, causing the Fairy King to hesitate.
It had been a while since he witnessed such a sight, so that was probably why he didn’t attack immediately.
However, there was a limit to everything. Soon, Beruel got sick of the humans—perhaps even himself, for watching their obscene display of affection from a distance.
How low the Fairy King had fallen.
“Now that I’ve taken care of the scrubs, I should go down for my prize… though this is secondary…” Beruel murmured, but soon after he said that, he noticed something peculiar.
“Oh? They’re still alive?”
>VWOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHH<
The thick cloud of smoke cleared suddenly, displaying the boy and girl at the center, completely unharmed.
“Oh? Is that the Arcana’s doing? Didn’t I catch them off-guard?”
Beruel had several questions, but they could wait.
Since his initial attempt to eliminate the two didn’t work, he could try his next approach.
“Greetings, humans…”
Beruel’s voice echoed across the vast area as he stared beneath him.
A sizeable portion of the Green Forest had been engulfed in his Light Magic, leaving the couple standing on a barren crater.
“… I certainly hope you enjoyed my warm address.” The Fairy King spoke in his usual grandiose way, referring to the blast of Magic he had sent their way.
“… Uh?!” The male human’s voice burst out, and he seemed quite surprised.
‘Heh. Is this the first time this one is seeing a Fairy? Well, even if he met one, he hasn’t seen one of this size before, I guess. Plus, unlike the others, I am most elegant…’ Beruel flapped his Fairy Wings with pride as he condescendingly gazed upon the human scum.
“Now then, know your place and—”
“Aren’t you Beruel? What the heck?!” The human’s voice burst forth, displaying both confusion and a bit of annoyance.
“Wha—?! He knows my name?” Beruel was genuinely shocked.
“Hey! What the heck, man? You can’t just go around blasting people! What in the world? What if we had gotten hurt?”
Beruel felt strange.
The inferior human was shouting at him in such a manner, yet he spoke in an overly familiar way.
Beruel couldn’t remember the last time anyone conversed with him like that—well, except the members of the Nether Cult.
“Shut up, plebian! You insignificant insect! I can do whatever I like to you since you’re a worm! Now be quiet and tell me how you know my name!”
“How can I be silent and answer your question, genius? You’re a lot dumber than you look!”
That was the last straw.
