102 – Deepening Misunderstandings

Lian trembled her pupils and thought.

“Ugh, what should I do now?”

The cough had stopped, but she couldn’t raise her head, so she continued to cough softly. She rolled her eyes and desperately searched for a way to survive.

“I need to, I need to get out of here quickly. Otherwise, I might embarrassingly cough up blood and die!”

The beautiful woman’s body had enough power to send a man loved by unicorns to the heavenly realm.

The scene of a happy face dripping with coffee, collapsing with the soul escaping from the body, was one of the incidents that often occurred in the world of comedy.

Lian recalled that scene in her mind and felt her nose twitching.

“I might really die…!”

Lian’s body began to tremble uncontrollably with a fear of death that she had never felt before.

If it were the world of comedy, it would be a simple reaction like, “Oh? Why is Lian shaking like that?” But it looked completely different to the people here.

“Oh, oppa!”

“Damn it! Is it a curse?”

Lian’s convulsing body, as if wielding a drill, clearly did not look normal to anyone.

Seeing Lian convulsing as if having a seizure, Lily and Nero tightly held onto Lian.

When sudden convulsions occurred, there were many cases where people unintentionally choked themselves or hurt themselves by not being able to control their strength. That’s why Nero and Lily forcefully pinned down Lian.

Lian, who was just trembling out of restlessness, was easily subdued. The problem was that the ones who subdued her were not only Lily and Nero, but also Noah.

“Lian, are you okay?”

“Gasp..”

As Noah approached and pressed down on her shoulders with force, the trembling stopped. Lian reflexively lifted her head and found herself trapped in Noah’s beautiful emerald eyes.

“Gasp… a, a good smell.”

Whether it was because it hadn’t been long since she showered, or simply because Noah’s scent was pleasant, Lian didn’t know.. But a floral fragrance wafted from Noah as he approached.

Cold sweat started to form on Lian’s face. The atmosphere became even more serious.

“This won’t do! Let’s lay her down first!”

In response to Lily’s firm voice, Nero quickly complied. Lian was instantly laid down on the bed and covered with a blanket. And here, Lian faced a new problem.

“Huh, ah…! No, the scent of Noah is overwhelming!”

Because Lian was lying where Noah’s bed was, it felt like her scent was enveloping Lian. Unknowingly, he found himself sniffing at the lingering scent and biting his lips.

Was it because of his determination to imitate her?

Blood started to trickle from his lips.

“Lily! My brother’s bleeding…!”

“Just wait a moment. I’ll somehow use the new magical tool I acquired…”

Thinking that Lian had started vomiting blood again, the three of them panicked.

“I’ll go get another healer right away!”

“Oh, that new person, Mucan?! Yes, if it’s that person, they might even know the cause!”

Mucan was someone who, during the attack by the Four Kings on the main headquarters, had made efforts to treat as many people as possible without fear of the monsters pouring in. Thanks to her noble efforts, many lives were saved.

Mucan, who had been working like a half-slave in another organization, was a highly experienced healer, so perhaps she would be able to accurately assess Lian’s condition.

Noah hurriedly ran out of the room to bring Mucan, and Lily tried to diagnose Lian with a magical tool she had never seen before. And at that moment…

Snap!

“Huh?”

“Brother?”

Suddenly, Lian abruptly sat up on the bed and before anyone could react, he leaped out of the bed. No, he dashed out of the room.

“Huh?”

“L-Lian, where did he go with that body?!”

Nero, who regained his senses faster, belatedly followed Lian out of the room. But by the time Nero stepped outside, Lian had already disappeared.

“Huh? Huh? Hyung? Where are you, hyung?”

Lian, who disappeared as if teleporting, like a resident of the comedic world who runs away so fast that his legs are not visible during the chase, was nowhere to be found.

Not long after, Noah brought Mukan halfway up, but Lian had already left.

***

The main building had quite a few empty rooms. This was because the number of officers was insufficient compared to the size of the building. Lian entered one of the rooms that people usually didn’t frequent and pressed his forehead against the wall.

Looking at the chairs and tables piled up around him, it seemed to be a storage room. It was a place that was not well-maintained, as a thin layer of dust had accumulated.

Lian, who was severely shocked mentally, didn’t notice the situation around him.

“Ugh…”

Lian let out a small groan and then…

Thud!

He banged his forehead against the wall. The pain was worse than clapping his hands. It wasn’t that painful. However, just by repeating that action, he was able to drive away the demons that were trying to take over his mind.

Thud! Thump! Thud!

He hit his head repeatedly, and his forehead turned bright red. A drop of blood trickled down from his slightly injured skin and flowed down his face.

Just like how getting punched in the face turns one’s eyes black and blue, banging one’s forehead against the wall like this made a drop of blood flow down his face like an art piece.

This was one of the many laws of the comedic world. That’s why Lian didn’t pay much attention to it.

What was important to Lian was the chaotic state of his mind. To put it visually…

“Heart! Heart! Heart!”

Mini Lians in his mind were waving banners and cheering. Occasionally, a voice saying, “Who do you think you are, a high-ranking official!” was heard. The instincts that had been starving for a long time were causing a riot.

From trivial thoughts about “that memory” to imagining a happy life of marrying Noah and having children for generations to come… Lian’s head was filled with various scenes.

“Ugh…”

Not long after, Lian sat down on the floor. Resting her head against the wall seemed to have brought back some of her sanity.

In her mind, the mini versions of Lian who had been protesting were being dragged away to prison.

“Haah…”

Lian was finally able to calm her thoughts. A question that she had set aside resurfaced in her mind.

The scene she had seen right before she fainted and Noah’s appearance when she woke up suddenly came to mind at the same time.

“If… if that scene is real, Noah’s usual appearance doesn’t make sense.”

No matter how tightly wrapped in bandages or clothes he was, he couldn’t hide something that big. As she thought about it, her ears and cheeks grew hot, but she stubbornly continued her train of thought.

“It would make more sense if the scene I saw was a dream.”

But Lian knew very well that it wasn’t a dream. The moment she faced that scene, every detail was engraved in her mind in milliseconds, as if someone had stretched out time like a finger.

“Mmm… It doesn’t make sense to say it’s a disguise, but it also doesn’t seem like a dream.”

The question continued to nag at her. Frustrated, Lian stood up from her seat and said:

“Let’s just ask him directly!”

Was it because she had locked up the mini versions of herself who were blinded by instinct in prison? Lian had developed the belief that she could face Noah and have a conversation with him.

“Alright, then let’s start by leaving the room… Ah.”

Muttering to herself, she quickly turned her body to leave, but then she noticed her appearance. She had been so absentminded that she only now realized her shirt was halfway unbuttoned and her shoes were not properly worn.

It was because Nero had changed her into a comfortable shirt and Lily had taken off her shoes and socks to make sure Lian was comfortable while unconscious. Lian looked down at her blackened feet and glanced around.

She began to search for something she could wear on her feet.

“Hmm, I can’t see anything. Let’s just go back to Noah’s room quickly.”

With that conclusion, she headed towards the door.

Thunk!

“Huh?!”

As I was heading towards the door, my shoulder collided with the corner of a chair that suddenly popped out.

Ouch…

The chair, which was stacked high, shook and soon began to pour down. Lian escaped from the falling chairs with a pale face.

Bang! Crash! Creak!

The sound of the old chair breaking echoed loudly. Lian coughed continuously due to the thick dust. She could feel her eyes getting bloodshot because of the dust.

“Ugh…this is a mess.”

Muttering to herself, Lian stood up from her seat.

Thud!

At that moment, urgent footsteps could be heard from outside. Someone was rushing in response to the commotion. Lian, thinking that she needed to quickly escape from the dusty room, hurriedly ran towards the door.

While blindly moving forward among the tangled furniture, Lian accidentally kicked the corner of a table with her toes.

Thud…?!

In intense pain, Lian trembled in place.

“Ouch…”

Before long, blood gushed out from her mouth. It was a fatal wound. Although it was her toe that was injured, the pain surged through her entire body as if she had been hit all over.

Lian curled her body forward, clutching her waist, and sat down on the floor. Desperately, she covered her mouth with her hand as blood spilled from her lips.

“Ugh, it’s going to be difficult to clean up the blood!”

As Lian thought to herself, “Wouldn’t it be okay if I summoned my dark sword?” she tightly clenched her throbbing toe.

Crash!

The door swung open as if it were about to break.

“Lian!”

Noah, with a pale face, rushed into the warehouse. The moment Lian locked eyes with Noah, he realized that they wouldn’t be able to have a proper conversation today.

Lian’s gaze immediately fell to the ground, and his face turned red. It was because of the natural image that came to mind.

Just as Lian was about to subtly retreat, Noah swiftly approached him and grabbed his shoulder.
