I Have Become The Heroes’ Rival Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Translator: Kay

The cool breeze constantly brushed my skin and lowered my body temperature, but a blazing fire broke out everywhere he touched.

Perhaps, because the first kiss I had was so intense, I found traces of Felix here, too.

He constantly craved and longed for until I was out of breath and my head beca dizzy.

At that ti, I was terrified by the unknown situation, the stimulation, and his desire.

But now that we were doing sothing like this, I was rely happy to share the mont with him.

Walter’s hand swept over my dress without hesitation. He then paused for a mont and carefully examined the embroidery on my dress.

“…Haa.”

A fleeting vain smile scattered across his lips. It was a reaction that seed both happy and sad.

Before the sadness could leak out, I licked his lips and stealthily devoured them.

At first, I abruptly pressed my lips against his, but from so point on, my tongue clumsily grazed over his lips, probed it, and gently sucked it.

Rather than unskilled, it was a pitiful sight.

It was a similar movent to when I fumbled and stroked Walter’s face with my fingers to engrave it thoroughly into my heart.

You said it was the devil’s desire. You said you would plumt to the bottom where you might kill soday.

Even if I shattered into pieces or worse, I had firmly prepared myself to endure it, but it felt thrilling and a bit sad, causing the rims of my eyes to tingle.

I felt like I was going to cry.

Throughout the kiss, my shoulders trembled, and I tried to swallow the tears. Rather than kissing, perhaps this was an act of comforting each other and ourselves.

The mont his lips fell away, even his voice dropped to a whisper. He pressed his forehead to mine for a while and took a deep breath. The corners of his unsmiling mouth were faintly shaking.

“After all this ti… What on earth are we going to do now…?”

“Fel.”

“Why did you recognize ?”

Seeing him ask such a question, Walter, no, Felix, must have never expected this situation.

Was he too helplessly drawn to so he couldn’t help it? If that was the case, the reason he appeared was because of a misconception.

He must have firmly believed that I wouldn’t recognize him. Was it because he was so different?

You unexpectedly underestimated .

In reality, you probably hoped that I knew.

“If we hadn’t t at all, I wouldn’t have known, but even if we t in passing, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize Fel was there.”

Felix, who had not shed a single tear so far, was suffering in such anguish that it caused the heart of an onlooker to throb.

I tried to spread my arms as wide as possible to hug Felix’s back tightly and pat him. He was crying without tears.

Felix buried his face in my neck and spoke in a thin voice that seed to break at any mont.

“How can I even forget about this…”

There were tis when I wanted to forget everything because it was too exhausting for . As much as it was an empty wish to , it must have been the sa for him.

It was a forlorn hope.

“You don’t have to forget now.”

“It’s too late… I told you.”

I thought Felix’s words were resentful of why I didn’t hold onto him back then. So even though it was late, I opened my mouth to utter the words that I was good at saying.

At that mont, the clock tower chid loudly twelve tis, announcing that it was midnight, and my voice was naturally buried in the sound of the bell.

I briefly shot a resentful glare in the direction where the clock tower sounded.

And when I turned my head back to Felix, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.

“Huh? Where am I…?”

There was a sense of confusion as if he had no idea why he was here.

“…Larry?”

I recalled the na I had casually given the devil back in the old days when I was ignorant.

If it wasn’t Felix, the only thing left would be that devil’s fragnt.

“Irene? Why are you here?”

Larry stuttered and comnted that “It’s been a while.”

‘Are we going to greet each other warmly now?’

The only reason I gave the devil’s fragnt the na ‘Larry’ and treated him relatively kindly was so that he would be in a symbiosis with Felix.

And it was also because that bastard told that devouring a quarter of the soul was insignificant. I trusted the devil’s words.

Nobody wished for the worst-case scenario. Moreover, I hoped that Felix wouldn’t have any problems.

I desperately pushed that damn devil’s face away from .

I swallowed my tears and frustratedly wiped my face with my palm and then asked in a voice filled with irritation, annoyance, and a little fear.

“Th-that’s what I wanted to ask. Where’s Felix? Why did you suddenly appear…”

“Ar-are you crying?”

Unlike when he spoke to in the past, Larry didn’t seem to notice that he had interrupted before I had finished my sentence. He looked very perplexed.

I clenched my teeth, strengthened my eyes, and enunciated my words.

“I’m not crying. Hurry up and tell .”

The power of the devil was flustered and hesitant, but he opened his mouth.

“It’s ti for him to change consciousness with . We’re in a rather assimilated state, so we share our ti every twelve hours.”

He explained that when one fell asleep, the other would wake up, but unlike before, they would not know what the other did during that period. That was why as soon as the devil opened his eyes, he questioned why he was here.

‘Cinderella…’

That’s right.

Was this how the prince felt when he searched for Cinderella after she disappeared at midnight and only found a shoe?

That devil remained the sa even after all those years. Whenever I asked sothing, he would frown and act as if he hated it to death but would eventually say it.

Now that I was not in a position to choose, I decided to take advantage of it. I held onto the hem of the devil’s robe that currently occupied Felix’s body and earnestly asked.

“What happened all this ti?”

I inquired about the complete story.

Larry confessed everything while making a childish expression of being forced to swallow food he didn’t want to eat.

The reason why Felix returned looking like this was similar to what I had expected.

But the first thing I learned was that Felix’s current appearance was the sa as the original form of the devil ‘Leraze’. Perhaps that was why I thought the new appearance was beyond awe and felt strange for a human.

Moreover, I also heard the shocking fact that Felix truly lost his emotions. For the purpose of life, he only had the love for and the hatred for the three useless brothers.

I was dumbfounded.

This damn devil, what the hell did you do to Felix?

“Why should I believe you?”

“Because it’s hard to lie to you.”

As expected, I knew it.

I asked with a cold expression on my face.

“Have you now eaten more than a quarter of Felix’s soul now, Larry?”

“It’s exactly half right now.”

Huuuu… That was why Felix said it was too late.

I buried my face in both hands for a mont to hide my guilty expression and eventually forced myself to strengthen my determination and look up again.

“Is there a way to return Felix back to how he was in the past?”

I thought it wouldn’t matter if Felix were Walter, but if I didn’t care, Felix would only continue to suffer terribly.

Even now, I wanted to watch over him until his wounds healed and let him live as he did so far. But only half of his soul remained. Furthermore, he had to share half of his ti with the devil.

Then Larry, who had been relatively willing to respond so far, clamped his mouth shut. When I looked up with a desperate gaze, he pursed his lips for a mont and lowered his voice.

“You want to say it with my own mouth?”

“Tell , please tell .”

I spoke as if I were pleading.

“Didn’t you say it was hard for you to lie to ?”

“You’re really…”

Larry closed his eyes tightly and spoke as if he was chewing over each word.

“I-I… If I die… If I disappear without a trace, he will return to the angel that you knew before.”

“Completely?”

“Yes, completely.”

“Larry, I want you to die. Can you please die?”

“…”

I asked sincerely, even though I knew it was a ridiculous request.

If it wasn’t for you, Felix wouldn’t have experienced such pain.

Of course, I was aware that the main culprits of all these misfortunes were the three brothers, but there were many things that the devil did wrong too.

If only you hadn’t existed.

I genuinely thought so.

However, the devil blinked with a shocked expression. And tears dripped down like beads from his wide-opened eyes.

The devil was crying. How absurd.

“Why are you crying with Felix’s body?”

The one who wanted to cry the most was Felix, so who entitled you to spill the tears that he had never shed?

I glared at the devil with eyes filled with pure hatred and disgust.

“I don’t know. I’ve never done this before”.

“… ”

“I-I don’t know things like this.”

The devil, who naturally thought he had no emotions, cried. Those without emotion never shed tears except for physiological reasons.

It was said that as ti passed, Larry and Felix would assimilate with one another.

So, since nearly four years have passed, he possibly now shared the sa senses as Felix. And, judging from that reaction, even the emotions.

“Oh, I rember now”.

“Huh?”

“You definitely told not to smile before.”

It suddenly ca to mind. Didn’t he say his heart hurt every ti I smiled? Like a disobedient child, I mustered the prettiest smile I could ever make.

He must have experienced Felix’s feelings when he heard tell him to go die.

‘Ah.’

‘That must have been really, really painful.’

‘How painful it must have been.’

I twisted my lips. A cruel impulse slamd the back of my head and seemingly wreaked havoc in my brain.

Sharp, blade-like words from the person, who had the upper hand in this relationship, rumbled from within and soared up like lava.

“I gave you the na ‘Larry’. Did you like it?”

The devil looked down at with tears trickling from his eyes. As he said, it was difficult to lie to , so he nodded his head very slowly.

He liked it. That was a relief.

“I almost regretted why I did such a thing, but when I thought about it later, even if it’s just a na, it’s a trace of one’s existence in the world.”

“Because you can’t kill soone who doesn’t exist. Right?”

I ended my speech like that and smiled brightly.

“So, please live. Stay alive for so that you can die soon, Larry.”

Apart from criticizing others or swearing at the enemy in colorful language, I had never said such vicious words in my whole life.

It was the first ti I realized that I had a talent for breaking hearts as much as comforting and caring for them.

But I hoped it would hurt more. I wanted it to experience tens of thousands of tis more of the pain that it gave Felix.

“Hey… how can you say that, no matter how hard it is? I want to live, too. too. I also want to live…”

“That’s why I’m asking you to live.”

“Stop. Stop it.”

“It is said that a star shines the brightest and most beautifully just before it disappears. Please sparkle as radiant as that and live. To make it worthy of killing you.”

“I told you to stop!”

The devil shouted loudly to stop my cruel words and then grabbed and trapped in his arms. After that, he beca restless because he didn’t know why he acted in such a manner.

‘Ha, I’m going crazy. It’s Felix’s body, so you can’t tell to get lost or to not appear in front of you again.’

“Fel…”

It was hard to shake off Felix’s arms since I missed him so much. However, I briefly buried my head in his arms and then rcilessly pushed him away.

He would be able to hold out against my strength but I mustered all the power in my arms.

“Just prepare to die.”

I then grabbed the stupid devil – who was dripping with tears as if soone tore his heart out – by the collar and dragged him away.

To the Chamberlain’s mansion, we go.
