(EP-106.2) #2

106 Backroom #2

Mirna was staring at me on the floor. But since she was calmer than before, I removed my hand from her mouth.

You really have no bad intentions?

Yes.

Why? Wouldnt men naturally lust over a charming woman like me in this enclosed space?

What do you think a man is?

I heard men are creatures only capable of thinking about obscenity! Am I wrong?

Well, Mirnas words were partly true. Young and energetic men did have that tendency.

However, what separated a man from a beast was self-control.

I know! Youre trying to lower my guard and strike when I am defenseless, arent you!?

Trust me, Im not.

Then hurry up and release me at once!

Mirnas 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 wasnt normal.

Breathe, I cant breathe, huh, haaa, save me, help me!

She claimed about not being able to breathe. But wasnt there enough air in the room?

Give up, I give up! Anyone? Help me! Air, breathe, I cant.

Could it be that the spell had other effects I wasnt aware of?

So I immediately 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? Its not yet my turn.

Narmi was confused at the situation she woke up to, so I briefly explained what had just happened.

What, youre trapped!? No wonder my sister was so panicked, shes afraid of small places.

Then what should I do? I think shes angry at me.

Narmi ummed.

Well, she likes to get massaged.

But, how can I massage her? She wont even let me touch her hand.

Youll need to figure it out on your own! Well then, I have something to do, later-.

After saying those words, Narmi laid down again.

Some time later, Mirna came 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.

Ive shown something scandalous. I apologize, Commoner.

Mirna seemed 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 me. Her eyes were swollen like a rabbits, probably from all of the struggling and crying earlier.

I started feeling sorry for some reason and accidentally blurted out, You dont have to tell me 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 couldnt quite believe it. But Mirna didnt look like she was joking.

As shameful as it is, I couldnt even last a minute. Narmi took care of everything for me. 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 Mirnas story still wasnt done.

With neither the talent nor the skill in necromancy, I couldnt compare to Narmi. Most people also like the cheerful Narmi more than me

Perhaps it was because of the situation, but Mirnas heart was quite open. She continued even when I hadnt asked.

Theo Gospel, youd much prefer Narmi to me, wouldnt you?

No, why do you think so?

Everyone does! Didnt 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 seemed 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 time

That is-.

That was because we really did know each other beforehand.

Naturally, I couldnt 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. Meanwhile, a trembling Mirna rubbed her palms together to get some extra heat.

Dont be stupid and come closer, Commoner.

Is that okay?

Im sharing heat, be thankful

Seuk-.

So I got up and went to Mirnas side. By putting our shoulders to each other, I felt better than when I was trembling alone.

Parrrrr.

However, Mirnas shoulders were still shaking relentlessly.

I was certain that it wasnt 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 same posture. Its probably because I got subjected to a strange spell before-.

Mirna tossed and turned around and complained in discomfort. Hearing her mentioned getting hit by my spell, it seemed like she was trying to put some guilt on me.

I then remembered what Narmi had told me.

Didnt she say Mirna liked getting massages?

Can I give you a massage as a token of apology? I think Im decent at it.

I wanted to show off the massage skills that I trained by massaging Elga and Airas shoulders. Moreover, massages could help with calmness.

Though, I wasnt 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.
