(EP-106.2) #2
106 – Backroom #2
Mirna was staring at on the floor. But since she was calr than before, I removed my hand from her mouth.
“You really have no bad intentions?”
“Yes.”
“Why? Wouldn’t n naturally lust over a charming woman like in this enclosed space?”
“… What do you think a man is?”
“I heard n are creatures only capable of thinking about obscenity! Am I wrong?”
Well, Mirna’s words were partly true. Young and energetic n did have that tendency.
However, what separated a man from a beast was self-control.
“I know! You’re trying to lower my guard and strike when I am defenseless, aren’t you!?”
“Trust , I’m not.”
“Then hurry up and release at once!”
Mirna’s scream was terrifying.
Her red eyes looked like they were going to pop out and veins had even started to wriggle on her forehead. She definitely wasn’t normal.
“Breathe, I can’t breathe, huh, haaa, save , help …!”
She claid about not being able to breathe. But wasn’t there enough air in the room?
“Give up, I give up! Anyone? Help ! Air, breathe, I can’t….”
Could it be that the spell had other effects I wasn’t aware of?
So I imdiately lifted the spell and cleared her status through Belial.
Pajijik-!
Mirna drooped after being struck by lightning. She was drenched in cold sweat.
“… Lady, are you okay?”
“…….”
Mirna looked like she fainted.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes.
“What! Where?”
Unlike before, her tone was cheerful.
Seureuk-.
It was Narmi!
“Theo, where are we? What happened? It’s not yet my turn.”
Narmi was confused at the situation she woke up to, so I briefly explained what had just happened.
“What, you’re trapped!? No wonder my sister was so panicked, she’s afraid of small places.”
“Then what should I do? I think she’s angry at .”
Narmi umd.
“Well, she likes to get massaged.”
“But, how can I massage her? She won’t even let touch her hand.”
“You’ll need to figure it out on your own! Well then, I have sothing to do, later-.”
After saying those words, Narmi laid down again.

So ti later, Mirna ca to her senses. She looked at the magic robe draped over her and frowned.
“How long was I out?”
From the arrogant tone, I could tell that she was Mirna.
“I do not know.”
“I’ve shown sothing scandalous. I apologize, Commoner.”
Mirna seed to have reflected on her actions before she lost consciousness. Although she looked calm, I was curious.
“You kept shouting you give up. Is it related to this situation?”
Seuk-.
Hearing my words, Mirna quietly stared at . Her eyes were swollen like a rabbit’s, probably from all of the struggling and crying earlier.
I started feeling sorry for so reason and accidentally blurted out, “You don’t have to tell if it bothers you.” Then Mirna said with a small sigh.
“As a family of necromancers, the Draco Family had their children undergo a ritual.”
“A ritual?”
“Yes. A special ritual for people who are always close to death. Thus, doing a near-death experience. You put the children in a coffin and bury them. And it stays like that for about ten minutes.”
… What a savage and cruel thing to do.
I couldn’t quite believe it. But Mirna didn’t look like she was joking.
“As shaful as it is, I couldn’t even last a minute. Narmi took care of everything for . So, even now, I panic in tight and stuffy places.”
‘I see.’
I finally understood why Mirna was losing her temper and unable to sit still after being locked up in this secret room.
It was because of her trauma.
But Mirna’s story still wasn’t done.
“With neither the talent nor the skill in necromancy, I couldn’t compare to Narmi. Most people also like the cheerful Narmi more than …”
Perhaps it was because of the situation, but Mirna’s heart was quite open. She continued even when I hadn’t asked.
“… Theo Gospel, you’d much prefer Narmi to , wouldn’t you?”
“No, why do you think so?”
“Everyone does! Didn’t you ask what Narmi was doing!?”
Aha. So this was why she overreacted when I asked her about Narmi. I thought the two were close, but it seed that even they had problems.
Mirna went on to say.
“Narmi can easily get along with anyone. It was like ‘that day’ too, when I introduced you to her. You and Narmi were friendly, as if both had known each other for a long ti…”
“That is-.”
… That was because we really did know each other beforehand.
Naturally, I couldn’t say this.
And that was where our conversation ended.
Sarrreuu-.
A chilly wind blew inside the enclosed space. It was probably because the sun had set and darkness had descended on the world.
I felt very cold since I took off my robe and gave it to Mirna. anwhile, a trembling Mirna rubbed her palms together to get so extra heat.
“Don’t be stupid and co closer, Commoner.”
“Is that okay?”
“I’m sharing heat, be thankful…”
Seuk-.
So I got up and went to Mirna’s side. By putting our shoulders to each other, I felt better than when I was trembling alone.
Parrrrr.
However, Mirna’s shoulders were still shaking relentlessly.
I was certain that it wasn’t because of the cold. Rather, it should be because Mirna was afraid of not being able to escape from here.
“My body is aching, and stuck in the sa posture. It’s probably because I got subjected to a strange spell before-.”
Mirna tossed and turned around and complained in discomfort. Hearing her ntioned getting hit by my spell, it seed like she was trying to put so guilt on .
I then rembered what Narmi had told .
Didn’t she say Mirna liked getting massages?
“Can I give you a massage as a token of apology? I think I’m decent at it.”
I wanted to show off the massage skills that I trained by massaging Elga and Aira’s shoulders. Moreover, massages could help with calmness.
Though, I wasn’t sure if Mirna would allow this, considering her guarded nature.
“… Alright then, try it.”
Yet, Mirna willingly accepted my offer. Well, the fact that she was experiencing a lot of things while being desperate was probably a factor.
