Aria wrapped her arms around and buried her face in my shoulder.
"I will do my best to lessen your pain. So, can you live with for as long as you can?" She said with her usual monotonous voice but it was obvious that she was desperate to make live.
She even used her wish that I granted to her. However, this didn't an that I had to comply with her request.
The contract, which I wrote, stated that the wish of Aria needed to be a small one, but her wish was a big one.
She wanted to live as long as I could with her, which was a pretty great wish that didn't suit a small request.
Thus I didn't need to realize this wish of Aria and could able to kill myself.
That is why I pushed Aria from myself and took the knife from her.
She was looking at with tears in her blue droopy eyes that filled with hope but her hope was useless in front of , who has no emotions and desires.
Living like a machine that tries to feel sothing to lessen the boredom it was feeling.
"You are too greedy, Aria." I said and thrust the knife into my heart.
But before the knife sliced my flesh and crushed my heart, I stopped. It's not that so kind of regret ca to montarily and I stopped because of that feeling.
I stopped because of a strong force like being hit by a war hamr to the head.
I fell to the ground as my legs go weak and blood began to pour through my nose and eyes.
'What do you an that Aria's wish can be considered small?' I thought to myself after I got stopped by my intuition again.
I didn't know what to think about this. my intuition stopped from committing suicide. It warned that Aria's wish could be considered as small and if I didn't realize her wish, then this ant that Goddes Esnera would break my soul because of the breach of contract.
And this would be the worst. I didn't know if there were reincarnation, heaven, hell, and sothing similar to these kinds of things.
But I was sure that a broken soul would be the worst-case scenario for . Hence my intuition warned with a strong force comparable to that I got hit by a war hamr to my head.
"It seems I have to live as much as I can with you, huh…" I muttered to Aria, who was kneeling beside while checking my condition.
I grabbed Aria by her wrist and pulled her over . Then I wrapped my hand around her and buried my face in her short black hair.
"Didn't you say that you will lessen my pain? So you can be my pillow as I am sure that the comfort caused by your body will make it easier to endure it." I whispered slowly and closed my eyes, listening to the harsh breathing and feeling the strong heartbeat of Aria.
But this didn't last long as Aria tried to get up and escape from my arms.
It was kind of unexpected that Aria wanted to leave my grasp after she hard herself because of . I thought that she would want to be spoiled more after that situation.
"Master, can you let go of ?" Aria said with a quiet voice.
"I can, but I won't. Don't you rember? I need you to endure this miserable pain that tornts ." I said and squeezed her tightly, pressing her petite body to mine.
Aria's body heated because of my toxic, confession-like statent and I felt her reluctant movents of trying to separate herself from .
Which made understand that there was trouble greater than Aria's desire of hugging .
"What happened?" I asked after releasing Aria.
She looked at and took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiping the blood that flowed from my nose and eyes.
Then she held the bloodied handkerchief in front of my eyes and said:
"Master's mana-rich blood can attract beasts and monsters alike. So it would be better to move from here and find a safe place."
I nodded my head as I forgot this basic thing and Aria rembered it.
Truly, she was my ideal secretary, maid, and friend. Though I couldn't think of her as these things other than my possession, which I didn't understand the reason for.
Was I a possessive person? And losing my emotions made this characteristic of mine more prominent?
I didn't know and didn't care about it. I just continued thought her as one of my best possession.
Anyway, after that, I decided to comply with Aria's idea as I needed to do my best to live to protect my soul from Goddes Esnera's wicked hands.
"Grab my hand and don't stray away from ," I said and extended my hand to Aria.
She grabbed my hand slowly with a shy movent and stood at my side, waiting for my instructions.
The forest was dark, which made it impossible to see 5 ters in front of . And I thought that making light in this darkness would make this situation worse than right now, as it might attract more monsters than my mana-filled blood.
That is why I spread out my aura instead of mana and sensed my surroundings.
I slowly wandered between the bloody-looking trees while leading Aria.
But I abruptly stopped, because I felt a living being near . I didn't know its shape, race, and gender. All I knew was that it wasn't too big or too small and it was physically weaker than .
So I thought that I could hunt it and eat its flesh to secure our ergency food supply that we have in our storage artifact.
I leaned towards Aria and made a very quiet, almost unhearable 'Shhh' voice.
She understood as she held her breath and leave my hand.
