I am not a returner Episode 307
Interlude – Deviation of the Goddess (2)
I felt a warm touch.
The feeling of being covered in fluffy cotton candy.
A feeling of happiness as sweet as sugar spread throughout my body.
Is this what a child in his mother’s arms feels like?
Of course, the existence of ‘mother’ was nothing more than a stranger to her, worse than a stranger.
I was able to vaguely guess that this was probably what it felt like to be held in my mother’s arms.
“Hmm.”
I opened my eyes with a drowsy feeling.
I felt like the fatigue weighing down my body had disappeared and my mind had become clearer.
I could see the now familiar ceiling of the tent and silver hair as fine as silk.
“…Vega?”
[Are you awake?]
Vega, who was sitting at the bedside, placed her hand on the forehead of Ojin, who was lying down, and was stroking his forehead as carefully as if he were caressing a treasure.
[How are you feeling?]
“Thanks to you, I’m feeling a lot better.”
[Hmm? The main woman did not specifically use healing magic.]
“Why are you saying that?”
Mom’s hand is said to be weak.
[Hehe. Are you thinking of her as your mother?]
Vega kept stroking the forehead of Ojin, who was lying down with a faint smile.
Although it felt quite nice when Isabella stroked my head.
As expected, I felt the most cozy feeling when Vega did this.
‘Isn’t this really going to lead to infantile regression?’
For some reason, Ha-eun and Isabella are like that these days.
I felt like the frequency of people treating me like a child had increased significantly.
‘Well, it’s not a particularly bad feeling.’
Which one would be closer to the good side?
I’m not the macho type who throws a fit when I’m treated like a child.
“What about your sister and Isabella?”
[It looks like he fell asleep early because he was tired.]
Well.
He probably started moving his body without stopping after fighting a group of demonic beasts looking for himself.
Even after finding her, she must have stayed up all night taking care of her.
“Is it okay if I don’t go back to the sanctuary?”
[It will be okay for a few more hours.]
It was a welcome sound to hear.
Because I slept all day, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore.
I wasn’t in a good physical condition to train, so if Vega wasn’t there, I would have spent a lot of time alone without a companion.
While I was thinking about that and thinking about what to talk about with Vega.
[Keuhum! Ha one thing. There is something I would like to ask of you.]
Vega stuttered as her face turned red.
“What?”
[Well… didn’t she do a lot of things wrong this time?]
“Huh? “What’s wrong?”
Even if I look back on my memories, I have never seen Vega do anything that could be considered wrong.
Of course, it did not provide direct help in the battle against Behemoth.
That was unavoidable due to the restrictions of the law.
[Oh no! [You have made so many mistakes!]
Vega shouted in an urgent voice with a red face.
Oh Jin looked at her blankly as if he couldn’t figure out what was going on.
[So.]
Vega stuttered in a confused voice.
Looking at his golden eyes moving back and forth, he seemed to be desperately thinking about the ‘mistake’ he had mentioned.
[Ah!]
He let out a short exclamation as if a good idea occurred to him.
[At first, weren’t you overly angry when the Cat constellation said it would make you an apostle!]
“Oh, that?”
Although Vega definitely overreacted to Felice’s words.
“But to that extent…”
[If the main woman hadn’t provoked the constellation of Cat, wouldn’t it have been possible to resolve it more amicably through dialogue?]
“Hey, you’ve seen her personality.”
Would Felice, who has an extremely self-indulgent personality as a Cat, change her mind just by talking to her?
[Couldn’t I have at least bought you more time to deal with it?]
“Well… that’s right.”
Certainly, if Vega had not stepped forward and provoked Felice, a different way of dealing with it would have been possible.
[Then isn’t it true that it was her fault?]
“No, with that. And it was resolved well anyway, right?”
There was too much I had received so far to criticize Vega for just this amount.
[no! If you have committed a mistake, you deserve to be punished accordingly!]
Vega leaned in with a strong attitude.
As the face got closer, I saw that it was blowing hot nasal air with an expression full of anticipation.
“…corporal punishment?”
There’s something unsettling about this.
[Why… didn’t something like this happen once before?]
No way.
“…hip?”
A memory I had forgotten, or to be more precise, was trying to forget, slowly appeared in my mind.
[Keuuk hum! That’s right!]
“….”
Ojin looked at Vega, who was coughing repeatedly and blushing, with narrowed eyes.
The waist shakes as if it needs to urinate.
Eyes full of strange anticipation and hot breath.
‘…no way.’
Are you doing this because you want to get spanked?
‘Oh no, I guess that’s a bit much.’
Although Vega looked strangely excited when I spanked her before.
no way.
Vega.
The constellation of the North Star reigns over hundreds of constellations.
“I heard you liked getting your butt spanked….”
[It’s not that I like it!]
The words came out of my mouth in an instant at the fact that it was so shocking.
[It’s a misunderstanding! “Bonnyeo Bo is not that kind of shameless woman!”
Seeing her desperately denying it somehow made me feel even more suspicious.
‘Yes, because there are many tastes in the world.’
Wasn’t he overcome with strange emotions when he saw Ha-eun and Isabella wearing animal ears and tails?
No matter how much Vega is the constellation of the North Star, inside she is just a woman, so you have to understand her unique tastes…
[Didn’t you say no! Don’t look at me with an expression of understanding!]
Vega shouted and slapped Ojin on the back.
[anyway! Since you have committed a crime, if you do not receive corporal punishment, your heart will become unsatisfied!]
“So, do you want me to spank you like last time?”
[That’s right.]
Vega trailed off and gently turned around.
The hip line slightly exposed through the dress made my heart beat.
‘This is going crazy.’
I never expected that Vega would suddenly ask me this kind of request.
‘I can’t not say that.’
Even just now, your cheeks are blushing like you’re about to explode, but if you just reject me right now, it will be an awkward atmosphere, like an ex-lover meeting at a classmate’s wedding.
[Aren’t you going to help me?]
Vega opens her eyes as if she’s anxious.
Oh Jin stood up as if there was nothing he could do.
slap!
Late in the morning, when even the grass bugs are asleep.
Clear sounds and screams rang out quietly in the fog-covered forest.
* * *
“Whoa.”
A low sigh flowed from Riak’s mouth.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and changed his body into the form of a wolf.
“As expected, it is not easy to move one’s body in a place other than a sanctuary.”
Although it is said that the restrictions of the law have been weakened to some extent.
Still, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated because I couldn’t fully exert my own strength.
‘But my movements have gotten much better.’
The ‘wall’ that had been blocking him for a long time.
I felt like I had risen to a higher level by breaking the wall I had created while fighting Horus.
“Okay.”
Even though he broke the wall and reached a new level, it was not something he achieved purely through his effort and will.
Although I didn’t want to admit it.
Without the misdiagnosis, I would not have been able to break down the ‘wall’ and shake off the guilt that had persisted from the past.
“So, I thought you said you came to your senses?”
I heard that he went back to sleep right away because he was tired.
“Hmph, weak guy.”
It’s like you’re lying flat after only dealing with a big cat.
Riak grumbled and grumbled, mumbling things he didn’t really mean.
“I guess I should go take a look at your pathetic appearance.”
I went around the tent and cleared out all the demon beasts.
I couldn’t go back to the sanctuary because I felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Anyway, while grumbling that he was only going through all the trouble because of a little boy, Riak once again approached the tent where Ojin was sleeping.
slap!
“huh?”
As I got closer to the tent, I heard a strange sound.
It sounds like hitting water-soaked leather with the palm of your hand.
Just because the sound wasn’t that loud didn’t seem to mean it had a lot of power.
‘Has a bug come in?’
I tilted my head and looked at the tent entrance covered with a tarp.
Isabella had torn the entrance to the tent, allowing a glimpse inside through the tarpaulin.
What you see there.
[Ugh! Now, you were wrong!]
“Wasn’t it Vega who said that if you did something wrong, you should be punished?”
The sight of Ojin slapping Vega’s butt as she turns around.
“What…!”
Riak’s eyes widened.
Rumbling!
A shock like a thunderbolt striking my head.
My mind burned brightly at the sight I couldn’t believe even after seeing it with my own eyes, or even because I didn’t want to believe it.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Riak held his breath and listened to the conversation between Vega and Ojin.
[Forgive me, my child!]
“No.”
Forgiveness?
What crime is Vega asking for forgiveness from Ojin?
No, even if you say you did something wrong.
Does it make sense for a mere human being to be punished by stabbing the body of a constellation?
‘Why did Vega…?’
What I don’t understand even more is Vega’s behavior.
Vega would know better than anyone else that Ojin’s actions now are beyond rude and deserve punishment.
Why is she so meekly accepting his stabbings without even being able to resist?
‘No way!’
Riak’s eyes opened wide.
Maybe Vega has some kind of weakness towards Ojin?
I have no idea what Vega’s weakness is.
Vega’s current behavior was completely incomprehensible unless his weakness was discovered.
“This is an outrageous act…!”
I even thought of him as a benefactor because I received help during the time of Horus.
I would never have thought that such a despicable thing was being done in an unseen place.
“Krrr.”
Anger rose to the top of my head.
Seeing Vega, who had saved his dying life and made him a holy spirit, screaming pitifully, a hot fire burned in my heart.
Creep, boom, boom!
Riak transformed into a werewolf and tore the tent apart with his sharp claws.
“Yes Inooooom! “What are you doing to Vega now?”
Vega and Ojin’s astonished eyes turned to Riak.
