After erging from the portal, Myne's first instinct was to glance at the cetery entrance. He expected to see Mr. Ghost dancing joyfully at June's safe return there, but to his surprise, he didn't even catch a shadow of him. Of course, he was a different matter that ghosts don't have shadows in the first place.
This damn bastard! After causing so much trouble, now that I've finished the job, he doesn't even bother to co out and greet , Myne cursed Mr. Ghost in his heart while walking toward the main door. But as he touched the doorknob, he paused, rembering the horrifying scene from the previous night: June's house, transford into a macabre purgatory, littered with rotting human parts and blood.
The stench of decaying flesh was so overwhelming that it made him want to vomit. If June, already ntally fragile, had witnessed such a ghastly spectacle in her house, she would undoubtedly have had nightmares for a long ti.
"June, honey," he said with a smile, pulling a comfortable chair from his inventory and gently guiding June to sit on it, "It's been a while since you've been missing, and the house is a bit ssy. Why don't you rest for a few minutes while I clean up? I have a cleaning skill, so it won't take much ti or effort." Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
"It doesn't matter. I've seen more disgusting and ssy things recently; a little dust is nothing," June replied. She didn't know the real state of the house and didn't want to give Myne any more trouble, so she tried to stand and walk inside, but her weakened body couldn't support her weight, and she collapsed back onto the chair, embarrassed.
A smile appeared on Myne's face as he saw June struggle to stand. This was a stroke of luck; it saved him a lot of trouble in convincing her. After telling her to wait a minute, he quickly opened the door and disappeared inside before she could say stop him, leaving her to shake her head with a helpless smile.
"Huh? Did Mr. Ghost clean everything after seeing and June? Is that why he didn't co to greet —because he was busy cleaning up his cri scenes? That makes sense. After all, based on the condition of the people he had killed who co to hunt down June, It was clear that he had a close relationship with her before his death.
Maybe out of fear that his appearance might scare her to death, he never revealed himself to her. Even now, he was pretending not to exist, helping her behind the scenes."
"Sigh, what a noble spirit! If only he wasn't miser, I'd have given him a good ghost dal," Myne joked to himself as he wandered around the house. After confirming that Mr. Ghost had done a good job cleaning the house, he walked back outside and brought June in.
"Wow, Myne! In such a short period, you've cleaned my house looks brand new. I didn't expect you to have such a wonderful skill," June exclaid in surprise as she looked around, amazed by how sparkling clean the house was.
"It's only a small matter, no big deal. If you'd given more ti, you might not have even recognized it," Myne didn't hesitate for a second, shalessly taking credit for Mr. Ghost's hard work. He had always been thick-skinned when it ca to such things.
After chatting with June and trying to cheer her up, Myne brought her to her broken bathroom. He took out plenty of water and a body-cleaning soap that Sylphy had bought from her castle and helped June wash herself gently.
"What is this? It slls quite nice," June asked, sniffing the blue bar of soap with a hint of surprise and delight in her eyes. Soap was a rare commodity in the market, affordable only to nobles or wealthy rchants. June, like most people in Lucas Town where Myne live, had no idea about such a wonderful thing.
"This is for cleaning the body. Sylphy brought it from her castle. I have no idea how it's made, but it's good for cleaning body. I have plenty, so I'll leave so for you later," Myne, now a very wealthy man, said generously, and received a grateful kiss on his cheek.
However, June soon rembered sothing bad and lost herself in thought. After which no matter what Myne said or did, she couldn't shake off her sadness. Even when he helped her eat Aisha's super delicious food, she only forced a smile in response to most of his questions.
Finally, when both of them were lying while hugging each other on the new bed Myne had taken out from his inventory—since the previous one had mysteriously gone missing—Myne couldn't contain his frustration any longer and spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Can you please stop pretending to be dead and say sothing to ? You know, you're giving every creepy feeling right now, like you're transform into a demon the next mont and eat alive. For God's sake say sothing!" Myne pushed June out of his embrace, got up, and sat down cross-legged beside her.
"I…" June, seeing Myne's irritated expression and frown, was stunned. She hadn't expected such a sudden change in him. Just monts ago, he had been gently telling her stories. Now, she didn't know what to say.
"Sigh, listen, June, honey. I know you've been through a lot, and your mind is probably a ss right now. I'm not telling you to just forget everything and move on. I understand that's not easy. But if you keep staying silent and don't open up to , those mories will only haunt you more as ti passes."
"There's no sha in asking for help or telling soone what you are feeling. Am I a stranger to you? Even though we agreed to stay just best friends, we both know I care about you, and deep down, I'm already your man. Otherwise, why would I have gone crazy looking for you everywhere when you went missing?"
"Let make one thing clear: I don't give a damn that those bastards raped you. In that situation, there was nothing you could've done, and I understand that completely. You don't need to worry that I'll push you away from because of what happened."
"So bastard may have eat your beautiful body which only belongs to , but they won't be alive for long. Even if I have to fight a crazy goddess, I wouldn't hesitate to blow those monsters to death. No one escapes from after ssing with my girl." The more Myne spoke, the more excited and angry he beca.
By the end, his eyes were bloodshot as he imagined that disgusting fatty beating and raping June.
If things weren't so complicated, he would've already stord that bastard's house and shown him the true aning of ssing with his girl.
As June listened to Myne's words, tears started flowing down her cheeks again. His words had touched the core of her fears and strange behavior. She got up, buried her face in Myne's chest, and began crying loudly, pouring out everything she had experienced. She told him how those beasts had beaten her when she didn't cooperate with them.
Although the drugs had clouded her mory after the first ti the fatty raped her, she still felt haunted by the lingering sense of being raped by multiple n.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Stop crying. I'm here with you, aren't I? I promise, after today, no one will ever harm your single hair again." Myne paused for a mont, then added with a teasing smile, "By the way, from now on, we're no longer best friends..."
As he said that he could feel June's body trembling in his arms, clearly she misunderstanding his words. Without wanting to give her another shock, Myne gently pulled her away from his chest and looked into her panicked, tearful eyes. He chuckled and smiled.
"From now on, you're my sweet little girlfriend. Is that clear? Although Aisha and Sylphy might beat to death for this, it can't be helped. Only after almost losing you did I realize you an just as much to as they do. So… welco to the family."
After seeing her surprised and delighted expression, he nodded in satisfaction before locking his lips with hers. Slowly both of them lay down on the bed, and start helping each other remove their clothes.
If there's any way to cheer soone up, there's no better thod than having so in-depth conversation during a good fight on the bed. Myne had learned that lesson the hard way through his own life experiences.
