129. Confession (2)

“The possessor… Have you heard?”

The possessor. At that one word, she didn’t miss the small wave in her eyes like a blue lake. Her pupils trembled a little.

Since my magic spread to the world, the more discussions about the origins of my powers came to my ears, the more I thought about them little by little.

Now that I’ve done such a big thing, should I tell Shione about my true identity or ignore it and move on quietly?

In the end, I seemed more inclined to let her know who I was.

‘I wasn’t very happy at first.’

If a slave says that he is a possessed person from another world and that this world is about to perish, he will only be treated as a madman. Because it’s obvious that no one will believe it. When I first showed Sione her bow, she avoided answering her questions.

‘Then….’

The reason is ambiguous.

It was still because my words were dismissed as nonsense and denied, or was it because I lacked faith in Shione… I think it’s because I don’t want to make a variable out of useless words again.

If that’s not the case… It seems that he habitually avoided the answer, thinking that he would let me know when the time came.

Ambiguous. Complex thoughts are put in and then disappear. It seems difficult to define specifically.

‘And now.’

I just thought it was time for me to tell Shione my true identity.

“If you are a possessor….”

Shione muttered the words that came out of her mouth.

Dangling horsetail. It seemed that the words were unfamiliar and difficult to follow.

Only then did I feel like I had to explain the concept of a possessed person, so I opened my mouth.

“The possessed person—”

“Yes, the possessor, the possessor.”

However, Sione seemed to be familiar with the concept of a possessed chair.

The expression on her face she showed was admiration. The innocence of a young kid who sees the main character in a fairy tale was glimpsed.

“Do you know about the possessor?”

“… Okay. There are also some possessed characters who appear as the main characters in fairy tale books.”

Shione pointed to the bookshelf in her room.

“Because even in the novels I read alone in my room every day, the existence of the possessor appeared frequently.”

“Ah.”

Well, Shione said she was confined to her room before I came.

She seems to have read quite a few novels to find little amusements in her life, probably sleeping and snacking to kill time.

Actually, as she was cleaning her room, she read the title of the book on the bookshelf.

Her bookshelves were filled with the language of flowers, several dictionaries on flowers, and novels with flashy titles. Articles written just for amusement rather than information delivery and accumulation of knowledge.

After all, people say that all places where people live are the same. Seeing that she accepts the possessor more easily than I thought. People in this world are also possessed and reincarnated, and it seems that they use it quite usefully.

As I nodded her head softly at her words, Shione faded her little eye smile.

“So you mean.”

Shione’s bright expression is gradually calming down.

She withdrew her bright smile before she knew it, and she was staring at me thoughtfully.

“Aren’t you saying that you are a hero who occupied that body?”

Shione seems to be a bit nervous instead of her gentle tone, and she puts her hard tone in her mouth.

She wanted an answer from me.

“A hero… In a way, you can see it that way.”

Hunters must show their epic side as heroes in order to attack dungeons, the remnants of a ruined world.

Depending on the type of dungeon, sometimes you even have to act like a real hero. Although the word hero may seem childish to him, he thinks that it is not a word that is too far from him.

Shockingly.

Shione trembled slightly when I gave her a small affirmation.

“… Can you guess the timing?”

“You mean the viewpoint?”

“The point at which you took possession of that body. When you started to get entangled with me.”

Shione was worried.

I could see what she was thinking, and she was obvious.

So, without hesitation, she stroked her hair and reached for her hair to answer.

Tup.

Shione’s small hand briefly blocked my hand from advancing closer.

She looked pretty confused.

I gently held Shione’s hand and said.

“What are you so worried about? Shione, have you ever felt the slightest discomfort while staying with me?”

She pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

“… No.”

“Of course. The first time I came into this body was a few days before being sold to Ainel after being imprisoned behind bars.”

“Then—”

“I am the only one who has been with Sione so far, so there is no need to worry.”

I reached out again and started stroking her hair. Shione lifts up her whale with her sneaky look up at me.

“… Really?”

“Really.”

“Really?”

“If you don’t believe me… I don’t think it would be a bad idea to check the authenticity with magic. Would you like to try it?”

Nevertheless, the doubter still harbored a distrust of my words, to my disgrace.

Well, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand her reaction, so I just continued talking slowly.

“I was the man who first warned the fat Sione not to bother her like the rest of her servants, and it was I who taught her archery.”

“… ….”

I was the one who clicked my tongue at the sharp nervousness of that fat, low-ranking noble lady, and I was the one who rehabilitated that piglet with a bow.

“It was me who got on the carriage together while chatting with each other, and it was me, no one else, who protected Shione by sacrificing her left arm at times. Do you know how much her arm hurt at that time….”

“That, that… ….”

It was I who rode in her wagon and rode her all the way, did her camping, simple cooking, and did most of her chores for her.

I was the one who beat down Arachne who attacked us in the past and saved Shione from the danger of her death. The feeling of having her left arm pierced by the jaws of that goddamn spider was amazing. The feeling of having my bones pierced was not very pleasant.

“There are so many more. Ray, who only drank wine at the banquet hall, got drunk, and Shione tried to attack him.”

“Now, wait… !”

“Please look at me,” Said Shione and hugged Ray.

“Ray… !”

Shione suddenly felt ashamed of my words and jumped up from her seat.

She was dyed red up to her ears. Although she may have become stronger on her own, she was not equipped with the spirit to endure my black history.

I smiled proudly.

“You… !”

Just looking at it, he has the momentum to slap me on the back. Because her smashing, which had been hit once before, was more spicy than I could have imagined…. I can’t stand still

I took a step back and said.

“There are rays that Shione likes so much.”

Shione looks at me.

“I am Ray who likes Shione… Can you believe me even if I say this?”

Shione, who had been approaching me while stomping her feet, stopped.

She stared blankly at me for a moment. The little part of her lips indicated that she was quite surprised.

Wait a minute and then it should start working properly. I was just watching quietly.

Shione was frozen as it was and showed no reaction as if she were a stone statue.

“… Sione? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“… It’s your first time.”

“Yes?”

“He told me he liked me first and directly like this.”

After saying that, Shione walked over and hugged me.

I looked down at the top of her head as she quietly cradled me in her arms and I saw the strength of her arms as she hugged me tightly and tightened her grip.

From noble mtl dot com

“Um….”

For a while, she hugged and seemed unwilling to let go.

Then she glanced up at me for a moment.

“Everything I just said must be true… ?”

“… Of course, it doesn’t matter if you use magic to determine the truth.”

“Then—”

“…… ?”

He violently grabbed me by the collar and pulled me down.

Maybe she failed to control her power because she was nervous. My upper body bent helplessly at the force that grabbed me by the collar stronger than I thought and pulled me down.

This stupid Shione just headbutted her lips with me.

In a romantic mood and timing, my master gave me pain in my lips and front teeth.

“Write… ….”

He glared at Shione, touching the corner of her mouth.

“… It hurts.”

Shione looked at me with her trembling eyes and then exclaimed.

“Poem, it’s a mistake… ! Ha, do it one more time!”

… One more mistake and both front teeth will fall out.

I placed her hand on the back of her head and pulled her towards me, faster than Sione’s right hand was about to grab me by the collar again.

“Wow… ….”

“… ….”

The taste I felt from kissing Shione was the taste of thick blood on her lips.

Me and Shione sat face to face again at the table like the first time and we talked for a while.

And finally, Shione’s gibberish feelings calmed down, and they came to a point where they could talk a little.

“So, can you believe me now? All of the Rays that Shione and I have talked about so far are me.”

Shione looked at me intently and only nodded.

“If you do, let’s move on to the next story.”

“Next story?”

“A story about me. So far, I’ve only talked about when I entered the body. Didn’t you hear my story?”

I said with a small smile to Shione, whose eyes were shining brightly.

“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

Shione’s question time has begun.
