VIP Chapter 436: “Now, I’m confident I can make it so you can’t leave me.”
“…Rather than an order.”
After Will finished speaking, he felt the other person’s arm rub against him a lot.
“Of course, I will stay by your side, my dear. Not because I am your maid, but as an independent Fire Dragon Killer named ‘Iaar,’ and an S Rank Shield Saint named ‘Iaar.’ That’s how I see it.”
Her voice sounded a little tipsy.
“As a teammate, as a Shield Saint who can protect you, as a girl who has always loved you, I will always accompany you, whether it’s for revenge, for ideals, or for the future.”
As Will understood her meaning, he felt Iaar’s cool fingers reach up and touch his lips.
“And, you don’t need to say that. I already understand.”
Iaar seemed drunk, and as she said this, she let out a light, soft laugh.
“…Don’t need to say it?”
“Dear~ You can touch it and see.”
“Hmm?”
Will’s hand was pulled by Iaar to his left chest, over his heart.
That heart beat powerfully in Iaar’s chest, but it was not at all chaotic, very stable, and not accelerating.
“From the moment I saw you stand up, I understood. That scene, for me, was also a confession.”
“Wait, why is that again…”
Will didn’t know if this was Iaar speaking nonsense while drunk, or if Iaar, as usual, was offering some novel interpretation.
“After all, perhaps you weren’t aware of it…”
Iaar suddenly leaned in very, very close. She brushed aside Will’s hair and whispered in his ear—
“Actually, the more shattered ‘Young Master’ only faces more terrifying danger in my hands, doesn’t he?”
“If you were truly that afraid of me… you wouldn’t have come back…”
“So, ‘Young Master’ who came back even while pretending to be that way…”
“Must really, really, really like me.”
Will lowered his head. The candlelight illuminated Iaar’s profile, and he could see Iaar’s satisfied smile.
And her slightly hazy eyes.
The red candlelight ignited in Iaar’s gray eyes. For the first time in many years, Will read a trace of “seductiveness” from those gray eyes.
“And, most importantly…”
Iaar’s hands were not still. She seemed to intentionally hold Will’s hand and rub it up and down over her heart… especially her chest.
Allowing Will’s fingertips to feel soft, enveloped textures, even as if lifting the inner layers of her maid outfit, so his fingertips could feel the texture.
“I am at peace now. Because I understand… it’s not that you need me that I will stay by your side.”
“There are so many pasts, and so many futures…”
Iaar leaned close to Will. Will could feel her warm breath, carrying the scent of alcohol.
“So, now, I want to possess a little bit of Will, is that okay?”
Then, she no longer maintained “caution.”
Iaar was very proactive, directly taking advantage of the distance, the distance where a slight tilt of her head would allow her to kiss Will—
She offered her lips.
“Mmm…?!”
Although surprised, in this atmosphere, Will closed his eyes and slowly began to feel…
Especially the softness as Iaar’s tongue, like a dog’s, slid over each of his teeth.
Then, when she intentionally touched him, he discovered something—
“Wait… that… that tooth…?”
Iaar seemed to realize something only after performing this action.
“Mhm… that’s right.” Will lightly bumped his forehead against Iaar’s head. “In any case, after that, I learned some… uh, rather miraculous ways of self-healing.”
“Wh-why didn’t you tell me this from the beginning…”
“Because I thought it was irrelevant. What truly advanced our relationship was you seeing your own confidence, not my ability to heal wounds, wasn’t it?”
Iaar’s eyes widened, seeming to glisten with tears. Then her ears twitched, and finally, she nodded.
“Alright, do whatever you want now. Will belongs to you.”
“Mhm!”
She smiled.
She picked up Will… in a way Will hadn’t expected.
“Mmm… but, where is the bed?”
“Ah… you really are drunk.”
“No! If I were truly drunk, how could I be this conscious and do this?”
Iaar was indeed very “conscious.”
Although she was only conscious of what she had to do next, for example, carrying Will to the bed, or… unbuttoning the front of Will’s shirt.
This made Will wonder if, because she had buttoned his shirt so many times, her technique for unbuttoning it was still so skillful even in this state.
“However, at this point, perhaps… I should use something special…”
A smile appeared on Iaar’s face, rarely accompanied by a mischievous glint.
It was like a child who wasn’t good at pranks, finally gaining the right to play a prank, and coming up with an idea that didn’t sound “bad” at all—
She placed her hand on the buttons of her maid outfit and unfastened the top few.
Revealing clothes, still like a child’s, printed with cute dogs like herself.
“Young Master, please command Iaar to do anything~”
“Eh… you’re calling me that again… that title?”
“After all, when it comes to things in bed, I, I really don’t understand anything… especially… especially compared to that… that Witch.”
In the candlelight, Iaar’s face was exceptionally red as she said these words, her gaze slightly averted.
But Will felt something from her that he had rarely noticed before…
Iaar’s fighting spirit!
A somewhat childish fighting spirit unique to Iaar.
Indeed, she was a girl who truly understood her own heart, and therefore wanted to do her best for the one she loved.
“But, some things, only… Iaar can do—”
Blushing slightly and shyly, she pulled her maid outfit down to reveal her shoulder.
“As a maid who has served Young Master for so many years, now that you are no longer part of the Hysterm Family, only Iaar can play this kind of master-servant game.”
“So, Young Master, Iaar can play this kind of game with you for a lifetime~ Please continue to ‘command’ Iaar?”
Iaar’s ears parted as if controlled by some force, and her fluffy tail even wagged, enticing Will to touch it.
While as a form of address, it was indeed full of romantic flair…
Will was still thinking this, looking at Iaar, when he suddenly thought of something she could indeed “win” at.
“No… er… actually, there’s one thing that only you can do.”
Will thought for a moment, his gaze somewhat evasive as he avoided Iaar’s line of sight. Although it wasn’t the first time, facing such a seemingly innocent Iaar, he felt somewhat shy to speak.
“Th-that is… your tongue.”
“Tongue…?”
Iaar tilted her head. With a sway of her fluffy ears, she obediently stuck out her tongue.
“Simply put, it’s because… due to some canine bloodline, your tongue is actually more, more than a human’s…”
“…”
After hearing Will’s interrupted words, Iaar’s gaze became distant, her brain seeming to overload. Will could feel her calculating frantically.
Then, those gray eyes, once again, held a smile.
“So… so that’s it! Iaar understands…”
“So, if you want to… to command, mmm… Iaar, please bite me, like a dog?”
She didn’t immediately retract her tongue but licked her lips.
“Mhm!”
“Then, now, Iaar is confident that she can make it so Young Master truly cannot leave Iaar~”
