Chapter 137
19. Now, I’m Healthy
When the video ended, I was already crying.
―Laria, how was the novel I wrote? After you died, I really wrote everything.
Neo said, curling on my lap. That meant that everything that happened after my death was Neo’s work.
―I couldn’t completely change everything because I didn’t have enough strength… Though considering your personality and original background, I wrote it like a side story!
I was silent for a while, then spoke frankly.
“Yes, there was no such thing as a real dead end. The content was a total mess.”
I thought too many times that the original work was bad, but it turned out the author was here.
—Thank you for the compliment. Then, do you think the devil should write a children’s book?
That was also true. In the first place, Evan made a contract with the devil, not with an angel. Now, even the shape of the anti-magic doll had disappeared. Seeing that Neo used it once, it must have disappeared and hidden somewhere else.
I asked, bewildered.
“Hmm… but why did you suddenly reveal everything after watching with interest until now?”
―Seeing the hesitating confession, it’s not fun at all. It’s also pitiful, and…
Neo yawned and continued.
―I can only stay in the human world for the lifetime of the contract holder, but I thought he would die soon if he continued like this.
At those words, I turned back to Evan. His rough skin, sunken eyes, and dark complexion made him look really old.
As expected, the devil’s eyes were correct.
―Besides, I have already eaten so much misfortune that I can no longer bear it. That man was really unhappy.
If he was unhappy enough to satisfy even the devil, how much he suffered…
“Then, Princess Elanie and Seymour were originally going well?”
—Yes. The two of them met so often that their relationship was a bit delicate.
I touched my forehead but couldn’t help it. In the end, they were a couple that got ruined because of me. Well, since they were both great people, I wondered if they would find a good match for themselves.
―I actually thought you would like Seymour…
Neo sighed.
―I never thought she would prefer Seymour’s money.
Yes, that was the essence, after all.
―It seemed like the picture I wanted wouldn’t come out, anyway.
Considering the scrawling story that Neo scribbled, it seemed that he was really serious about me and Seymour meeting eye to eye.
“What’s wrong with this crappy moral idea…”
—Thank you for the compliment.
Neo immediately responded to my murmur and gave a huge yawn.
―Then, I will spend some time with the slave. Playing with pets is cute, but in many ways, it’s inconvenient.
I was really at a loss as to what expression to have. Was it fortunate that it was a pet among slaves and pets…?
As Neo arbitrarily opened the door and left, Evan gazed at me and shook his head once again.
“…Laria, am I not crazy now?”
“It’s true that the cat opened the door and left, so don’t be crazy.”
While I answered, Evan gently wrapped his arms around my cheek and wiped away my tears.
“Don’t cry.”
“How can I not cry? I am very, very sorry… and thank you.”
One day, on the trail near the magic tower, Evan told me that he could destroy the world… but he had already destroyed the world for me.
“Don’t say that… There is something I really want to hear.”
He uttered kindly.
“I think I heard it before, but tell me one more time.”
At those words, I managed to answer with more tears pouring out.
“I, I… I’m healthy now, Evan.”
It must have been something I really wanted to say to the old Evan.
“Yes.”
He sighed and wiped away my tears.
“Thank you.”
And there was something I wanted to say to Evan in this life.
“And Evan, I have something I really want to say.”
“…I’m not ready yet.”
“What kind of mental preparation?”
“If you ever give a negative answer…”
“I like you.”
I cut him off and said it all at once.
“Evan Icard, I like you in my past life and in this life, no matter what.”
There were still too many words left between us. From how to conveyed the secret that only the two of us knew to others, to the numerous misunderstandings in the past that need to be resolved, and what to do in the future… .
“Of course, I still don’t know if the me you wanted to save and liked is the real me…….”
“Laria.”
This time, he cut me off.
“Now, I will kiss you.”
“What?”
“If you don’t like it, say no.”
Instead of answering, I closed my eyes and I accepted the gently overlapping body temperature.
Evan was right. Opening our lips and exchanging new breaths, this seemed more important than the many complex conversations we had left. The movement, which was only cautious at first, gradually became more vigorous. I wondered if I, in my previous life, would have had a hard time accepting him like this.
“…Good.”
He whispered softly.
“I love you, Laria.”
I had to cling to him and gasp for breath before I had time to answer. His body temperature started to cling to me, and my heart kept pounding like crazy. As he began to put more and more weight on me, the chair I was sitting in started to move.
“Uuhpp… uhp!”
I eventually got out of breath and pushed him away.
“Should we go to bed?”
There was already a deep desire in his red eyes. It was embarrassing just to face the dark gaze that seemed to pierce through me.
“…Why?”
I asked him as I was trapped under his arms.
“Are you… going to do more?”
At my cautious question, he lifted me up and put me right on the bed. And just like that, he clasped my hands together, pressed them firmly against the bed before climbing on top of me as if he was locking me up.
Evan replied in a deep voice.
“If only you let me…”
It was a really bad atmosphere if I don’t allow it, but I needed to put it on hold for now. If I said something wrong, I might not be able to leave this room at all for a while.
“Let’s do it at, at night. It’s so bright now.”
“Is that important?”
“There is my brother outside. Even if everything else is postponed, I’ll be seeing my brother in a few years.”
In the end, he sighed and nodded slowly.
“Then… just one more question.”
“What?”
“Are you going back to Duke Icard’s residence?”
“Uh… hmm…”
The reason I hesitated for a moment was because I thought that everyone would consider me as ‘the ungrateful child who ran away. Evan, did he love me….?
While I was lost in thought for a moment, Evan’s head landed next to me and I could feel a great weight.
“…Evan?”
Suddenly, I remembered that he had a pale complexion as if he hadn’t slept for days. In the meantime, I would… ugh.
I carefully got out of his arms. Then, after covering him with a blanket, I carefully left the room.
‘Yes, you’d rather go to sleep.’
I needed to talk to other people besides Evan right now.
