“ah. “It’s refreshing.”
Marya woke up and stretched. Before she knew it, the dawning light was gently wrapping around her naked body. Asher, who had been sleeping in her arms, also opened her eyes.
“Marya… are you awake?”
“huh. good morning.”
Marja laughed. The sphere that imprisoned the old man, who seemed to be the Four Heavenly Kings of Pandemonium or something, was still floating on the lake.
Countless huge pits were created around it. It was a sign that Asher had pulled up the ground and trees to create a sphere. Well done in a place like this. Marya, who was giggling, looked back at Asher.
“I heard people should exercise before going to bed. “You think so too, right?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Asher lowered his head in response. Unlike Marya, whose face was shiny and shiny, her appearance was gaunt. Her white body was covered in marks that looked like mosquito bites.
“Hmph. “But there wasn’t much left yesterday.”
Marya smiled. It was a sight that heightened the sense of conquest every time you saw it. When she saw Asher hesitant, she narrowed her eyes.
“But why is the answer not clear? Was it not that good?”
“Oh, no. It was good. But next time, a little bit… that…”
Asher bit his lower lip. He couldn’t even get the words out of his mouth to ask for a little more relief. Even though he had been treated one-sidedly since the first time they made love, he still had some male pride left in him. He glanced up at her Marja and opened his mouth.
“Hey, put your clothes on first. “I’m going to catch a cold.”
“ah. “That’s how it should be.”
Marja nodded. She hummed and began to put on her underwear, which she had carelessly thrown off. Asher suddenly remembered last night and her face blushed. The grass where the two people were lying was a mess.
‘Is this right…?’
Although I was extremely happy, it was too frequent. Somehow, the cycle was getting shorter and shorter. It was also a big problem to not be able to choose the time and place if there were not enough people.
‘When I asked what would happen if someone heard the sound… I said it would be okay if they told me a little bit.’
This thing was no different from an animal. It seemed like a serious conversation was necessary for a happy future. Asher mustered up his courage and was about to say something. Sigh! Suddenly, the lake split open, revealing the head of a huge salamander.
“W-what?!”
“Dangerous!”
It was the salamander that was being controlled by the executives of Bokmajeon. Marja, startled, shrugged her shoulders. Asher, who reflexively jumped out, blocked her path and deployed her defense shield. Sigh! A translucent force field surrounded the two people.
“Aser.”
Marya took a deep breath. Perhaps because of what happened yesterday, Asher’s expression became fiercely serious. Five or six sharp ice thorns were created around Asher as if they were about to be shot at any moment. The salamander tilted its head.
“Nuo?”
“…Aren’t you trying to attack me?”
Asher narrowed his eyes. Contrary to what he expected, the salamander did nothing and just stared at the two people. Her eyes, absurdly small for her face, were blinking slowly.
“Joe, you seem a little cute.”
“Shh. “You never know when they might attack.”
Asher did not let down his guard. A tense confrontation continued for a long time. Wow! The disgusted salamander spit out something.
“That’s…!”
Asher’s eyes widened. A shiny sphere was flying in a parabola. Asher quickly stretched out his arms. Her invisible hand caught the sphere that came out of the salamander’s mouth.
The sphere, larger than the torso of most people, was as opaque as a pearl. Suddenly Asher, who was examining the sphere, shrugged his shoulders. An enormous amount of mana was pulsating inside.
“This, this!”
Marya, who was next to me, covered her mouth in shock. If my memory was not wrong, this was definitely a treasure called Naedan.
A mass of energy contained in a spirit creature that has grown stronger over hundreds to thousands of years. It was one of the items that Marya definitely wanted to obtain in the New World.
“It must be Naedan. “Such luck…”
“Why are you giving this to us?”
It seemed like he had repaid the favor of rescuing him from the Pandemonium. Asher took away the ice thorn. Marja waved her arms loudly to express her gratitude.
“thank you! Healthy!”
The salamander grinned and then went back into the water. As soon as the heavy tail disappeared beneath the water, spray rose high into the sky. Wow… the lake water pouring down like light rain became beaded in the sunlight and a rainbow appeared.
“wow.”
It was a beautiful sight. Birds were playing on the lake where Bokmajeon’s flag had disappeared. The cool morning breeze was still pleasantly ruffling their hair.
The two people looked at the lakeside for a long time even after the water ran out. The rainbow was about to fade. Marya, who was glancing at Asher, opened her mouth.
“Yes. Asher.”
“huh.”
“Are we going to get married too?”
“Good… huh?”
Asher’s eyes widened. It was clear that I heard wrong. He was dumbfounded and stuttered as he asked.
“Uh…what?”
“Let’s get married.” “I will make you happy.”
“Byun, bye, marriage? “So suddenly?”
“huh.”
Marja nodded. Asher was speechless and unable to say anything. She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head.
“why. no?”
“Oh, no! I never hate it! But it was so sudden…”
“What’s the surprise after you’ve been hanging out with me for over a year? Did you really plan to just enjoy it to the fullest and then leave? “I don’t think he has feelings for another woman…”
Suddenly, Marya’s voice became low. Asher, who felt the despair of his life, took a deep breath. A large crack was forming in the rock on which she rested her hand.
“huh? “Do you have feelings for another woman?”
“Oh, no! There’s no way I could do that! “Marya, you are the only one for me!”
“It must be true.”
“I swear to heaven! Yes, you can also put your reputation as a wizard on the line!”
Asher shouted desperately. Only then did life become easier. Marja took her hand off the rock and grinned.
“I’ll trust you. Then marry me.”
“In the end, that way…! “Why did you suddenly think like that?”
“Just seeing the rainbow gave me confidence. I think we can make each other happy. And my intuition has never been wrong.”
Marya stroked her hair. Her wet blonde hair was shining brilliantly. She spoke as she massaged her own breasts.
“And it’s a little hard to say this out of my own mouth, but honestly, I have a pretty face and a good body, right? “Especially because this isn’t something you can easily find anywhere.”
Asher’s face heated up. As she said, that hideous object might be more precious than the inner altar of a spirit being. He avoided eye contact and slowly remembered.
“Well, that’s right…”
“okay. It’s perfect. “What do you not like, so you take it out like that?”
“I took it out, I never took it out. So, actually…”
Asher, who was in tears, trailed off. I was too embarrassed to say her words out loud. He glanced at Marya and mumbled in a voice the size of an ant.
“Pfft, I wanted to propose…”
As Asher said that, he covered his face with both palms. Her sticking out ears were as red as red-hot iron. She had a wonderful proposal planned, but it all went to waste.
“···under.”
Marja laughed. Likewise, she washed her face dry, her face stained red.
Even what was lovely was at the level of a crime at this point. What should we really do with him? She looked around and opened her mouth.
“Take it off.”
“···huh?”
“Take it off. Or should I take it off again this time?”
Asher removed his palm from his face. Marya was already taking off her clothes. He turned completely white and shouted as if he were screaming.
“W-why all of a sudden!”
“Honestly, this is your fault. Saying things like that and hoping nothing happens is greedy. And I should at least put a stamp on it, but I can’t do it because I’m anxious.”
“Dojo?”
Marja nodded. Her eyes looking up and down at herself were several times stickier than usual. Asher soon realized what she meant and raised his eyebrows.
“Oh, let’s have a child?!”
“huh. Is it really that surprising? “My mom also gave birth to me around this time.”
“Well, well, that’s not the problem! “Well, we haven’t even gotten married yet… and you’re even a noble…!”
Asher stuttered. As he said, Marya was no longer an ordinary citizen but a noblewoman. The count who rules Armalen, one of the most fertile territories in the empire.
No doubt, in just a few years, he would become one of the most powerful figures on the continent. Moreover, considering the significance of royal or noble marriages, this was truly absurd. Of course, Marja didn’t care about that.
“What if you are a nobleman? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could become a noble too? Besides, Ronan and Adeshan were also speeding.”
“Well, those two people are a bit unusual…!”
“Sigh… honestly, it would be a waste if you were the next great wizard, you are not in a position to worry about me. Give up now. Asher.”
Marya, with her jeogori undone, came closer. Asher took a step back, but the lake was behind him and he had nowhere to run. She hummed, already making plans for her future.
“If you were half and half like me, it would be perfect. It would be boring if the child was alone, so let’s have three or four children first. “The house is large, but it’s bustling and nice.”
“Oh no, Marya. “It really doesn’t work anymore…”
This was a different problem from marriage. I slowly felt like my life was in danger. But despite Asher’s tearful pleas, Mary shook her head.
“don’t worry. All you have to do is lie down and watch the clouds. “You’ve been like this often so far, right?”
“Well, that’s so inhumane. “It’s hard to walk properly after doing it!”
Asher whimpered as he imagined the future that would soon come. It was an act so cruel that even the expression “squeezing” is not enough. bang! Marya smiled brightly as she kicked away the rock blocking her path.
“I can carry you on my back. “It solves the problem.”
“Si, I hate it!”
Asher’s scream rang out. Marya climbed on top of him as he fell, hitting his butt. She was in the middle of peeling off her wrapping paper when she snapped her fingers.
“Oh, I forgot, but I think we should take a quick trip to the islands on our own after the Pandemonium battle is over.”
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden?”
“They say Schlieffen will challenge Seifa in a few days. I think I already defeated Instructor Nabi Rose in the preliminary round. Maybe a truly new swordsman will be born.”
Marya said. It was truly surprising news, but Asher had no time to admire it. He was about to say something to buy time. Marya’s lips covered his.
