After gathering all the materials for the ordeal, re return to the town. I haven't seen the town in 3 days but it felt like a long time. Is it because the forest was so dense? I was able to be with Saine constantly, and I also managed to eat authentic ras.

We part ways with Dole and Olphynn upon entering the town. Olphynn said that he will immediately take the ordeal right after. He sure is tough, I thought. He's slender compared to Saine, and although being a Priest is in the opposite position of physical labor, Olphynn is quite bold and courageous. That gap is so interesting, and I really want to set him up with Haruka.

I ate ras again after leaving the forest. It was past noon, so it was nearly evening when we returned to town. The sky is tinged with red.

Saine follows me as I try to buy the ingredients for dinner in a hurry. We just came back from the forest, so I thought that vegetables should be fine for today. Indeed, I am super sleepy. Maybe I feel relieved upon entering the town. Or maybe I'm exhausted. I thought I was okay but perhaps I was quite exhausted.

 

We reached the market while I was rubbing my eyes, and I ate dinner with Saine. I didn't have the strong desire to eat roasted ras anymore. It's incomparable to the authentic ras. We eat stewed pork and thick vegetable leaves called marchy. Marchy's thickness can be as much as 5cm. I wonder what its leaves' original form is. The thick leaves are cut into thin rectangles and cooked together with pork. The broth seeps into the marchy and it's delicious.

Saine has alcohol and I drink the grape juice that I've been drinking ever since I first came to this world. I've always been drinking water to save money but Saine bought me juice today. I don't think it's because of what Olphynn said, but I'm a bit scared of the well water. The curse in the water doesn't seem to have anything to do with Reincarnators, though. Besides, the water in the well is used to cook so it can't be avoided.

 

I became full on top of being sleepy, and I was attacked with full-blown drowsiness on the way home. Saine piggybacked me, who looked like I was about to fall asleep while walking. Being carried on Saine's broad back, I'm engulfed in happiness. This situation feels kind of nostalgic, as if I long for it. Is this the memory from my previous life?

I wonder if Olphynn can give me the opposite version of the memory-wiping Ceremony that he mentioned. I have thought at times that it's fine even if I don't regain my memories, but as expected, I want to remember. I think it's better to know things like how I used to live. No matter what kind of memory it is, it's better to have it than not. But in the end, if there are memories that are so painful that makes me want to forget then I don't want that. I really am such a coward, aren't I?

I wake up to the morning sunlight. I dazedly look around me. It's a familiar sight, but something's a bit different. I looked to my side while wondering what the difference was, and in shock, I fell from the bed.

 

[......Oww]

[What are you doing?]

 

Saine's astonished voice comes from the bed.

 

[Why am I sleeping with you?]

 

When I sat on the floor and looked up, Sign also sat on the bed and looked down at me.

 

[It’s no longer necessary  to sleep separately, isn’t it?]

[Why?]

 

Saine's eyes dims and he squints. My heart palpitated faster.

 

[Didn't I say that I'll hold you?]

[Eh, well, but...... are you doing that now?]

[Naturally.]

 

Saine kneels on the floor and shortens the distance with me at once.

 

[Eh? Eh? Saine...... wait a minute......]

 

His big hand enters my shirt. My back was stroked directly and I subconsciously bent backwards.

 

[It's morning...... We can't.]

 

I vigorously stopped Saine who tried to lick my neck.

 

[It doesn't matter whether it's day or noon, right?]

[No, it does. Isn't this something to do at night?]

[Who the hell made that rule?]

[What do you mean 'who'......]

 

I wonder who? However, isn't s*x a nighttime activity? The moment I thought that, my face flushed hot red. Am I going to have s*x? With Saine? Even though I wanted to do it, I panicked when it was finally happening. 

As I tried to escape, Sain held me down with one hand and took off my pants and underwear all at once.

 

[Uwaah!?]

 

He even took my shirt while ignoring my shock, and I ended up naked in the blink of an eye.

 

[Wait, wait, wait, wait]

 

I'm on the verge of tears as I run towards the corner of the room. I sat down in the corner, and while staring at me as I trembled while covering my cr*tch with both hands, Saine took off his own clothes.

What comes in sight is a thick body covered with muscles. A myriad of scars spread across the sun-burnt dark skin. Saine's phall*s hangs down at the center of his sculpture-like body. It was a thick, long boy with a round head, still covered with skin.(TN: replace the ‘*’ with a ‘u’)

Forgetting my fear, I just looked up at him. Although I don't remember my previous life, I have a feeling that I wasn't gay. I'm not interested in men's bodies, and I don't feel anything in particular here either. But as expected, there's a sense of discomfort. It's as if I'm being shown again that the men here are v*rgins and straight.

Saine's phall*s-kun* hanging down on his incredibly burly body looked so adorable yet pitiful to me, I had the urge to rub and stroke it. (TN: -kun- 'mr.' but for younger people)

 

[......May I, touch it......?]

 

When I gulped and asked him, I was told to do what I want. I stand on my knees and reach out. It was thick, soft, and cute. There, there, I stroked it and gave it a lick. I have absolutely no idea how to do it, and I even quipped at myself for doing this despite being a man but, I couldn't help wanting to lick it.

Saine never stopped me from continuing to lick him and simply left me to do what I want.
