Soda and Kara alternately said with their red eyes,
"She's not coming out of the bed."
"She's just crying," and Dimodia and Kiri shook their heads slightly.
The therapist also only said, "I'm sorry, sir," when asked about the possibility of her eyes being fixed.
No, it may actually be that I didn't have the courage to come see her during the day. I really wanted to see Ran, but I didn't want to hear her curse at him.
So, I came to see you at night.....
'Sneaking.'
Towards himself, Eustaf looked at Ran with self-help.
She was wearing a lace-up pajama. The golden hair had been left out for a long time, so it was flowing down her back.
Her slender calves and white bare feet were visible because of her pajamas that slightly covered her knees.
The focusless emerald eyes shone under the dim light.
Ran, who had been walking carefully one step at a time, stumbled over what was caught, and Eustaf ran out without realizing it and caught her.
Ran opened her eyes wide.
There was silence between the two, caught and held.
Ran began to grope up his arms with her fingertips, holding onto his waist. Her white fingertips touched his shoulder, then his neck and face.
Ran gently and delicately stroked his face and smiled. "What, it was Eus?"
The smile came into Eustaf's heart and loded in it.
Every breath, the ice pieces swallowed seemed to melt away. The pain that was touching the heart disappeared, and everything just melted down.
A smile on her face, a word of no concern.
Ran's fingers gently scattered his eyes and cheeks and pressed his lips.
"Eus, right?"
An uneasy look flashed across her face, and Eustaf barely responded, "Yes."
I felt my voice shaking even though it was a short answer.
"But why didn't you just pretend you didn't know?"
"I'm afraid you'll be surprised."
The words came out more smoothly than before. Eustaf carefully coughed and said.
"Can I go to the couch?"
"Yes"
Ran nodded her head gently. Then she opened her arms.
"I can't walk."
Eustaf smiled and hugged her without realizing it. For a moment, he briefly flinched at the warmth and tenderness of bare skin over her thin silk cloth, then sighed and moved her to the sofa.
Ran stuck her arm around his neck and didn't fall off. I didn't want to be away because I couldn't see it. Eustaf asked, slowly sweeping her back.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"Huh? Yeah, falling dreams."
Eustaf flinched at her words. He hugged her and said.
"I'm here."
Ran smiled lightly and said, "Eus"
"Yes"
"By any chance...."
"Tell me."
"Sina, did you meet her?"
Eustaf almost asked back who it was for a moment, but managed to find out that it was the name of the woman Ran had asked to save.
When he heard the report, he only glanced at it, but he never talked properly.
But now that I know Ran cares, I can't say that, so Eustaf answered cautiously.
"I met."
"·······How·····?"
"She seem like a good person."
I don't know, but anyway.
I don't know why, but in this situation, Ran even knows her name, he cares about her very much, and if so, I didn't want to swear.
"...Is that so..."
Ran muttered like that and buried her face on his shoulder.
"Eus"
"Yes"
"Shall we sleep?"
"Would you like to sleep?"
"No, it's not-"
Ran raised her head and kissed him after she caress his face with her fingertips.
"Shall we sleep?"
The meaning of what she asked again was so clear that Eustaf was silent for a moment.
Ran thought it was fortunate that nothing was seen. In the dark, people could be much more brazen than they thought.
Ran listened to the sound of breathing in silence after saying such a thing without a blush.
Eustaf held her waist strongly. His lips touched her cheek gently and he whispered.
"Is that what you're proposing?"
"...Huh?"
Ran replied a beat later, embarrassed by the unexpected words. Ran couldn't tell whether she was joking or not.
Eustaf's lips brushed her cheek and gently pressed her eyes past the cheekbone.
"Or is there something else I don't know?"
Ran was speechless for a moment.
"Or did I seem shameless to sleep with someone other than you?"
I saw my father do such a thing as much as he could, and I saw how my mother was ruined. It was disgusting because I couldn't hate it.
Ran stammered.
"Marriage?"
"Yes"
After answering, Eustaf took a deep breath for a while and asked.
"Weren't we supposed to be engaged this spring?"
"It has been....., but....."
"Hate it?"
Eustaf's voice was calm, so Ran shut her mouth. Eustaf looked down at Ran's face without saying a word.
After a long breath, Ran decided to speak her mind honestly.
"Eus"
"Yes"
"Do you still like me?"
This is what I wanted to check. At Ran's words, Eustaf held her chin and kissed her roughly. Ran opened her eyes wide.
It was a rough and persistent kiss. His large palm swept from her back to her waist, grabbed her back neck, and came deeper.
Tears welled up by excessive stimulation.
Ran grabbed him by the shoulder and twisted his body, and Eustaf pressed her down on the sofa.
"Oh, Eus-"
A kiss continued again even before the word was finished.
Since I couldn't see, everything became more sensitive, so Ran couldn't breathe.
The weight and heat that he pushed her down on the sofa forced Ran to groan and hug him tightly.
Rather than scary, a strange relief enveloped her. Under him she was perfectly safe.
He finished kissing, swallowed a rough breath, kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear.
"No, it's more than like."
Ran smiled without realizing it. His weight, the heat, was pleasant.
I feel like my heart is full.
"But I'm blind-"
When she said carefully, "I have eyes," replied Eustaf.
"Eus"
"Yes"
Ran's hands came up from his back to his shoulders from his neck to his cheeks and wrapped them around his cheeks.
Trying to focus on the invisible man, Ran thanked it for not being seen.
"If you like someone else, be honest with me then."
"That's not happening."
Eustaf replied with a frown.
"You don't know that."
At Ran's words, Eustaf said firmly.
"Maybe for some people, but not for me."
He grabbed her wrist, turned his head, gently kissing her palms.
"If you want to leave Lazia-"
His voice broke.
"Be honest with me."
"I don't want to leave."
"Then please stay."
Saying as if pleading, Eustaf lived and kissed her forehead.
"Yes"
Ran answered quietly and smiled faintly. I felt like my strength was escaping from my body.
Eustaf met Sinah.
He also said she was a good person.
But he still likes me.
'And now your eyes will be better.'
Oh, I should say this to him.
However, I felt so sleepy that I couldn't bear it, probably because I was relaxed at once.
Ran fell asleep as if she were fainting. Suddenly, Ran drooped and Eustaf caught her in surprise, but soon found out that she was only asleep.
"Replacement...."
He sighed and held her carefully.
Her hand grabbing the hem of his clothes as he moved her down to bed. I think it'll fall out if I sneak it out, but I didn't want to, so Eustaf sat next to her bed.
And he watched Ran fall asleep for a long time until she let go of his clothes, or even after he left, and left her side until dawn.
*******
When Ran came to her senses, her maids also cheered up. After dressing up from head to toe, Ran decided to meet Sina.
At the words, Lumiere explained Sina to Ran with a strange look.
"She claims she's from another world."
"Really?"
"Yes, and-"
Lumiere sighed.
"That's a pretty good idea. I haven't seen anything she's wearing or anything she has."
"I see."
Ran nodded.
It's because she's from another world. In addition, Ran noticed the familiarity in her voice.
'This is how the fish in the fishing grounds enter.'
Ran put her chin on her face, pawed and smirked. But she didn't say that.
"Okay, thanks for the story."
Lumiere stared at Ran at her words.
"Master."
"Huh?"
"Is the box still in the drawer?"
He casually asked, and Ran blinked and replied, "Yes."
"You don't want to use it?"
Ran was embarrassed but asked with a smile.
"Why? Do you want it, Lumie?"
"Lazia is dangerous."
At her words, Ran opened his mouth slightly, "Ah."
It was.
It's dangerous.
But-
"My precious things are all here."
I heard Lumiere sighing at Ran's words.
"All right"
He answered and asked carefully.
"Can I help you move?"
"Of course."
Ran reached out his hand, and Lumiere held her hand and raised her arm on his arm.
With their arms crossed, the two began to walk. Ran tried everything, it was most comfortable to walk holding someone's arm.
When the stairs came out, Eustaf and Lumie took her down the stairs as if it were natural.
I was embarrassed, but I didn't hate it, but Ran used to hug them calmly.
As I entered the room, I heard a bustling sound.
"Hello!"
A cheerful voice, too.
Ran laughed without realizing it.
"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Ran Romia."
"My name is Sina. Ishina. My last name is Lee. You can just call me Sina."
"You can just call me Ran, too."
Lumiere led her to the chair, so Ran sat on the chair carefully.
"Sina, please sit down."
At Ran's words, Sina sat in front of her and stared at Ran.
"Respect..."
Ran shook her shoulders and coughed when Sina murmured without realizing it. Or I would laugh.
"I heard Miss Sina says she's from another world."
At Ran's words, Sina nodded, then hurriedly replied, "Yes."
With blonde hair and unlikely green eyes, the beauty was somehow friendly to her.
Sina swallowed her saliva.
You have to do well here. Or maybe they're driven by witches or something to watch.
Sina started talking to Ran as she explained to Lumiere several times.
Ran listened with a serious face and listened without interrupting her.
"So, I don't know what happened. I heard that there is no wizard in Lazia. I want to go back to the original world. Can you help me?"
When she desperately added her last words, Ran remained silent for a while and nodded.
"All right"
"Really?"
Sina jumped up from her seat and pulled her hand. Ran was surprised, but Sina didn't notice and waved her hand.
"Thank, thank you very much, thank you, heuk, heuk-"
The voice began to mix with crying, so Ran got up from her seat and stuttered cautiously to find Sina's shoulder.
"It's okay. It'll work out."
Come to think of it, how scary would it be?
Ran thought so and patted her on the back, and Sina soon hugged her and began to cry loudly.
Ran opened her eyes wide and smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll help you now," whispered.
Lumiere remembered his past while watching it.
'You'll have another human like me.'
He looked at Sina, who was crying in Ran's arms with such thoughts. And Ran, who smiles while sweeping her back.
His heart ached, so he lowered his gaze. "Tha, thank you."
Sina wiped her face with Ran's handkerchief.
I was ashamed to hear that I was hugged by a stranger and cried out loud. However, the anxiety has been somewhat washed away, and my mind has returned.
