I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me - Chapter 89



89 – Reunion (2)

＊

“Did you miss me?”

“…Ah,”

I missed you.

I missed you so much.

Sincerely, with all my heart, there has never been a single moment that I haven’t missed.

She walked towards me slowly, one step at a time, with her back behind her and her back slightly bent.

Her beautifully combed blonde hair fluttered lightly with each step she took.

The steps were so light that they looked like butterflies or fairies.

She walked slowly next to me and pushed her face into my ear and whispered.

“What is that stupid mask?”

A young voice with a shy smile.

It felt like my ears were melting.

Is it a dream?

Her voice reappeared so suddenly that it was so enchanting that it was hard to believe it was real.

However, the feel of her gold thread-like hair gently touching the hard wooden mask told me that this situation was clearly real.

Because my imagination is not capable of this much detail.

“Ash. “You’re not going to say anything?”

There was so much I wanted to say.

As much as I missed it, as much as I wanted to see it, no, there was so much more than that.

An apology for disappearing without a word.

An explanation of how I am alive.

The question of where were you?

Resentment as to why it was so late.

He complained, asking if he knew how much he missed him.

The shocking truth that the devil was alive.

Determination to help me complete your journey and mission.

And,

I love you, I missed you, and I truly miss you so much.

However, I could not easily say any of them out loud.

There was so much I wanted to say that I felt like it was stuck in my tight throat.

“Ah…”

The words crowded in my thoughts and throat couldn’t decide the turn, so I whined and said, “I’ll go out first.” Maybe it was because I was shouting, but only sound that was somehow blocked kept coming out of my mouth.

“Ash, hehehe.”

She laughed, as if it was funny to see me like that, and then she slowly took off my mask.

The two people’s red eyes glowed softly in the dark background, and their gazes gently intertwined in the air.

Her red eyes looked at me.

I was also looking at her.

Even though I was staring to the point where I couldn’t look any further, I wanted to look more and more.

If I could, I wanted to engrave her image inside my eyeballs.

Looking at her sticky gaze, she must feel the same way.

“…Ash.”

I thought that maybe the reason I couldn’t say anything was because she didn’t ask anything.

You must have wondered why I disappeared, and you must have resented me for disappearing without a word.

During the months I spent in the spirit world, I must have been miserable and sad to be left in that terrible loneliness again.

She didn’t ask about my true situation, and she didn’t blame me for a single word.

He didn’t even look the slightest bit sad or angry.

Now, at this moment, there was only one thing she asked me.

“I missed Ash so much.”

“…Ugh,”

“Ash didn’t miss me?”

I slowly wrapped my trembling hands around her neck.

As if waiting for that touch, she hugged my back like a large animal closing its mouth.

That strong power.

Ah, it’s true.

It was really her.

Really, it was Sylvia.

“… I missed you.”

“…”

“I miss you so, so, so much… I’m so lonely, I miss you so much…”

“So did I.”

“… I’m sorry. Sorry. Mr. Sylvia.”

“mmm,”

She shook her head while hugging me.

“No.”

“…?”

“If you’re really sorry, you shouldn’t be calling me that.”

“Ah… hahahaha,”

“Do you cry and then laugh again?”

“…I missed you. Sister.”

Sylvia, or rather, older sister Sylvia, slowly turned my body around with the hand that had been hugging my back.

Her rough, hard hands full of calluses felt so good.

Her hands were swimming freely over my skin, slowly moving up my arms and shoulders, reaching my collarbone and neck, and eventually touching both my cheeks.

She dropped my mask that she was holding in one hand and slowly cupped my cheeks gently.

“I missed you so much, too.”

I closed my eyes.

It was an instinctive action because I knew what was waiting ahead.

Sylvia never betrayed my instincts or experiences.

Her hot and soft lips touched my lips.

Even though they have been apart for quite some time, their lips fall into place like pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly.

As if filling the gap between each other’s lips, we went into the familiar place where we were supposed to be.

But still, whenever an empty space appeared, each other’s hot breath filled that space.

Finally, her hot and sweet tongue slowly invaded between my lips, cutting through all the gaps.

I opened my mouth for her tongue without the slightest resistance.

No, for a little stimulation and fun, I bit her tongue with my lips, and also met her tongue with my tongue.

Our tongues were intertwined.

Our tongues were like us, hugging, kissing, sharing each other’s body heat.

I hugged her neck so tightly that I felt like I was going to break it.

I knew she wouldn’t break like this, so I hugged her with all my strength.

She clearly liked this level of pressure.

As if she was satisfied with the fact that I remembered that, Sylvia slightly opened her eyes and looked at her. Her eyes were narrowed and she was letting out a happy smile.

It was lovely.

She was so lovely, she couldn’t be more lovely.

At that moment, an unpleasant scent caught the tip of her nose, and I slowly raised my head and withdrew from her lips.

I guess I felt sorry for myself even though I was withdrawing, and my tongue reached out to touch her tongue until the end, barely coming out.

“…Smell.”

“Oh, do I smell? “I was late because I had to take a bath and do some laundry before meeting Ash.”

“There was no need for that… It would have been better for you to come quickly…”

“I want to look pretty for Ash.”

“… Ah, anyway!”

“hehehe,”

I spoke with my face turning bright red at her so honest and confident remarks.

“Sister Sylvia… I can smell blood on her body. “Are you hurt somewhere?”

Her clothes were much tattered than when we parted ways, but they were still fairly clean.

Her hair was flowing softly, and her skin was also shiny.

He must have washed and bathed at the river.

But even so, a faint smell of blood remained on her body.

My nose wasn’t that sensitive, so it was clear that there was a wound somewhere on her body.

Or… That… Day.

“…Ah,”

The smile disappeared from Sister Sylvia’s face.

He had a very cold and scary expression.

She had seen her angry a few times during the time she had been with her, but she had never seen her face like this.

No matter how much I remember, Sylvia slowly looked down at me with an expression that I had never seen before.

In the red eyes that had seemed so lovely until just a moment ago, I could see dark emotions fluctuating with unknown depth.

Those eyes are blacker and darker than those in the forest at night.

I tried to take a step back without realizing it, but she held onto my body tightly.

She said with an odd smile that only the corners of her mouth pulled up unnaturally.

“It’s not my blood.”

＊

We entered the cabin together.

It was her cabin that she built to be with her, so when she showed up one day, she was going to proudly say that she built it for you.

When she came in, I couldn’t say anything.

Shame and embarrassment blocked my speech.

The empty cabin, which had no furniture or decorations, was nothing more than an abandoned building, insignificant compared to her nest that I burned down.

Her shame doubled when she saw her slowly sinking down on the bare floor around her, lighting the firewood in the middle of her room.

I sat down next to her and said.

“The house is a bit… isn’t it?”

“Ash built it?”

“Huh, how did you know?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Is it so sloppy that you can tell as soon as you see it?

When I was living alone, I put furniture on the back burner with the thought that I would just have to endure it, but looking back now, it was a stupid thing to do.

My mind was filled with belated regret that I should have made at least the basic furniture for her in advance so that she would be fine no matter when she came back.

The most urgent thing was sleeping.

Of course, even if I could somehow make a bed frame with my skills, I wouldn’t be able to make a mattress or blanket that requires fabric.

Even the uncomfortable bed in the living room of Sylvia’s cabin where I once slept was now very precious.

I already felt it when I first entered the forest, but I opened my mouth sheepishly, feeling once again how difficult life is in a place untouched by civilization.

“There was nothing I could do alone.”

“…”

“I don’t think I can do anything without Sylvia.”

“You even built a house and then say that?”

“This… Is more like a barn than a house. “There is no furniture.”

“Ash.”

She said, shaking her head.

“I can’t even build a house like this. “The furniture was just taken from what was originally in Millwood Village.”

“…But.”

“And…”

She slowly spread her arms and looked at me.

I crawled into her arms like a person possessed.

Sister Sylvia hugged me and patted my back and said.

“Even if you don’t have a blanket, you’ll be warm like this. Yes?”

“But now, when winter comes,”

“Let’s do this together. “You can do it.”

“…”

We hugged each other for a long time without saying anything.

It seemed like she really didn’t want to ask anything about the time she broke up with me.

At least for now, he seemed to want to enjoy the warmth of a loved one he hadn’t seen in a long time.

I was so thankful and lovely for her.

I carefully placed my head on her shoulder.

Her silky soft breath touched my face.

“Look at this. Ash.”

“…Yes?”

“Even without furniture or anything like that. “I have everything I need here.”

“…?”

“You know… I can’t do anything without you.”

“…Yes?”

“I definitely realized that while you were away. “I am nothing without Ash.”

“Sister Sylvia…”

I slowly turned her head and kissed her cheek.

She also lowered her head and lightly pressed her lips to my cheek.

She laughed, making exaggerated noises that felt childish.

“You don’t know how much I’ve missed this.”

“…Me too.”

“Now, I will never take my eyes off you.”

“I’m sorry…”

I knew very well that even if she didn’t question me, it didn’t mean she wasn’t hurt.

She shook her head and said almost at the same time as my apology.

“Don’t say you’re sorry.”

“… But,”

“Don’t do it.”

She spoke firmly and lightly bit my earlobe.

I trembled at that terrifyingly ecstatic touch.

She touched the teeth marks on my earlobe with the tip of her tongue and whispered in my ear.

“Tell me you love me.”

It was a request that had no choice but to be listened to.

“I love you.”

“I love you.”

As she spoke directly into my ear, the persuasiveness of my voice and her voice felt like they were on a different level.

It felt like her love was engraved into my bones.

Given the magnitude of her love, it was impossible for her to avoid feeling heavy in her heart every time she remembered the loneliness she felt.

Guilt was weighing down my head, so I slowly buried my face in her shoulder.

It was hard for me to endure the time without her, but she must have been even more difficult and suffering than me.

At least while I was healing my demonic energy in the spirit world, she would have been wandering around in this forest, so it was natural.

I asked softly in a calm voice.

“How was it while I was gone?”

“It was a year that felt much longer than the years I spent in the forest before I met you.”

“A year? “We haven’t seen each other for about three to four months, right?”

“For me… It was a year.”

I was speechless.

That’s right.

Sylvia had no concept of time.

Then, one year is correct.

If it felt like a year to her, if it felt like a year to her, then it must have been a year.

“How many days did you spend with me?”

Sylvia said with a smile.

“Well… It’s been less than a month?”

“…”

“I thought I wasn’t the type of person to fall in love that quickly. “Ash was so adorable I couldn’t stand it.”

“… That’s right.”

If she was one month, it would be one month.

If she is one year, she will be one year.

What is important, like time?

“We will continue to be together from now on.”

As soon as I finished speaking, she pressed down on my shoulders and laid me on the floor.

“Yes, it won’t fall anymore…”
