This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!

Chapter 283 274: Peek





The day spent in the Hall fiefdom passed by quicker than I thought. In the end, the two Hall siblings remained in the place while Sophia temporarily went back home, and even returned within the week to Apollon.

With the rest of the circus members, I reached back to my estate in Apollon.

The same old mansion seemed larger and cleaner than ever. Maybe because the fucking city of Apollon had almost crept up to the territory I had set aside for myself.

I jumped out of the carriage and looked ahead at the city with my arms on my waist. Theatres and other enormous buildings had filled the space as far as one could see, the motif of colored streets never fading even after the large expansion.

People scattered around the city, tourists just as many as artists, ran around doing their own thing, the city crowded and the crowd's din lively.

"This is the famous Apollon…" Muttered Marcin.

The others looked at the far view of the city with admiration too. Especially the two teachers we were here with.

"You guys should take a look at things later," I said and jumped off the carriage. Keith was going to handle the parking bit and everyone else would show the guests to their room.

I took Lethe along and went to the back of the mansion.

"What's here?"

"Some more folks you gotta meet."

"Oh?" Lethe clutched my hands as I took her back to the stables of the mansion. There, the two old horses that had been my loyal friends since the beginning.

"Ay, there you are! Blanc, Black, so good to see you alive!" I stroked both of their faces while laughing. "How long do horses live anyway? You better not outlive me!"

"Neigh!!! Fukyu!!!"

"Dieinadeeeetch! neigh!!"

These fuckers. How lively.

"These are my horses," I told Lethe.

"I… see?"

"NEigh! Loser!"

"Neigh! Kekw!"

"I guess I need to take them for a ride."

The horses suddenly froze up and started licking the back of my head, trying their best to be cute. Little tramps, this was a very thin line these guys were galloping on.

I leaned against the pillars on the side and turned toward Lethe.

"I need to tell you something."

For good measure, I ensured no one was listening in.

"What happened?" Lethe asked, holding my hand. I grabbed her waist and embraced her lightly.

"I think I may have become a demon to some extent."

Lethe slightly pulled away. I could sense her confusion through her veil.

Instead of words, actions were going to be a better explanation. I used my ki and made a small cut on my palm, the black blood flowing down.

"This… is pretty sick."

"Right?"

"It kinda gives you a cool air. But I'd feel edgy telling people my boyfriend is a demon."

A smile spread on my face.

She didn't hesitate a second, neither did she call me someone else. And that was enough reason for me to not think of it either.

I slowly moved away her veil and ran my clean hand over her cheeks.

Lethe leaned in closer and our lips met, slowly.

How long had it been? I didn't want to let go.

Even though I had noticed glasses sneak up on me a while back, and also Noa peering down from the windows, but I didn't stop kissing her.

We only moved away to breathe, and after taking in a mouthful of air, I kissed her yet again. Our tongues sloshed over each other, over and over, spreading the warmth.

After minutes passed like that, we slightly pulled away, the veil falling over her face yet again. I pressed my forehead against hers and muttered.

"You came here to finalize the marriage, huh?"

"There's too many critters around you."

My hands around her waist tightened.

"Jealous?"

"Not at all."

"Heh, lying, are we?"

"Tell me, have you ever told anyone else that you love them?"

I thought back.

And shook my head.

She placed her hand on my cheeks, gently stroking it.

"And me?" She asked.

"I love you," I said right away, words almost leaving me faster than I could think of them. Lethe leaned in once more and sealed my lips with her.

"Say it again."

I gently ran a hand over her hair.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"No, I do."

"No, me."

"What the heck? I do, that's final."

"I'll smash your head in with a chair. I love you more, and that is what's final."

"Ahem."

Unable to hold himself back, glasses finally coughed out loud.

"Lord and Lady Dark Moon, it is my honor to see you again. I am very happy to know you're alive, lord."

"Shut up clown," I said. His hope of seeing me dead clear in his eyes even for me. "Go wait in my office."

He slightly turned his chin up and I shook my head. He had noticed Noa too, and thought he was going to help me. What a nice surprise, maybe I should hit him a little less today.

I held Lethe again when he was gone.

"Where were we?"

***

Noa peeked down the window of the room that Maria had assigned her to.

Down there, around the stables, two people with white hair kissed over and over.

This was…

Barely spicy at all.

Regardless of her actions, she considered herself pure and simple. In that sense, the man down there was pretty much playing with her.

Even though she had not bothered hiding her presence, he didn't stop.

Scum, to put it nicely. He was just irredeemable trash for playing with her like this.

Noa thought to herself.

Did she hold any special feelings for him? Saying no would be wrong, but she couldn't place the label of love on it. She found love slightly too simple.

She thought she shared a bond with him that could only exist between Noa and Eugene.

She was feeling slightly dissatisfied.

Things, lacked spice.
