The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

165 – Nervous Mind (2)

“Kayla. “Are you tired?”

I grabbed Kayla’s shoulder as she was dozing off next to her.

She looked like she was about to fall, but she was startled and adjusted her posture.

Inside the carriage returning to the capital, the sun was high.

It was still too early to fall asleep, but Kayla was fighting her drowsiness.

“I’m sorry. “I had a little trouble sleeping…”

“It’s okay. “It’s okay to sleep if you’re tired.”

“No. “You never know what might happen.”

Kayla opened her eyes and held back her drowsiness.

Before long, her head lowered again and her eyes closed.

Until now, I’ve rarely seen Kayla sleepy.

After the battle, the tension from the tedious journey seems to have eased.

He forced her to wrap his arms around her shoulders and rest her head on his shoulder.

“It’s okay to sleep now.”

“Thank you…”

Kayla, unable to overcome her suma, fell asleep.

Kayla fell asleep in a comfortable position even when she was sleeping.

Whenever I saw her, she always had a beautiful appearance.

While I was looking at her intently, I heard a faint moan from next to her.

“…Don’t do that.”

Erina was next to me, tightening her arms and pulling me.

Does she not like the fact that Kayla is leaning on my shoulder?

As soon as she strengthened her arms and held on, she was no longer dragged.

Erina also flinched and trembled, probably from surprise.

“Kayla is sleeping. “Let’s leave it alone.”

“…Yes.”

When I tried to stop her, Erina immediately agreed.

She could no longer be seen grumbling or getting angry.

I thought she might return to her original personality as time passes.

At least so far, there have been no significant signs.

While I was taking care of the two people, the sound of chatter continued across the room.

“I heard that in the capital, there is a place called a magic tool store that sells all kinds of strange things.”

“Then let’s go there too. “If you talk to Colin, he will guide you.”

Celica and Tyria continued their conversation in low voices.

She lowered her voice for fear that Kayla might wake up.

The chatter was still continuing without stopping.

After leaving Tarn Village, the two stayed together.

Celica’s sociability played a role, but Tyria also got along well with her.

As I watched the two people laughing happily, a memory flashed through my mind.

Erina, Celica, Tyria.

A sight of three people sitting together at a bonfire and laughing happily.

If everything is over, will we be able to see something like that?

Will Erina be able to get along with people and live a happy daily life?

Unfortunately, everyone felt like Erina was a burden.

Even Serika, who had a big heart, gave up on her.

But if she had become timid and withdrawn, something about her might have been different.

“Erina. “There will be a festival when we return to the capital.”

“…”

“Is there anything you want to do?”

Erina immediately shook her head.

He will probably stick by my side unless something special happens.

“Celica, Tyria. Where do you plan to go to the festival?”

“Ah. I’m continuing to think about it. “I guess I’ll just keep wandering around the capital.”

Celica’s eyes were shining, as if she was already excited to enjoy the festival.

Did she say she had never been to the capital?

It is not common to see festivals taking place in the kingdom, so I had high expectations.

“I plan to stay in the capital for the next month. After that, you have to get busy again.”

“Yes, I know.”

“So let’s just rest comfortably for now, okay?”

There was a feeling that I had rushed things so far.

Rest was absolutely necessary as I had been running without resting for almost a day for half a year.

Also, as the number of colleagues increased, it was important to build friendships.

Wouldn’t everyone become closer if they enjoyed the festival in the capital?

“Erina. Let’s have fun at the festival. Got it?”

“…”

Again there was no answer.

Then Celica and Tyria smiled awkwardly and maintained the mood.

I quickly changed the topic before the conversation ended.

“Anyway, Kayla looks very tired. “Did something happen yesterday?”

Then Celica’s smile hardened a little.

Tyria also looked at me with embarrassed eyes.

Did I ask a strange question?

Suddenly, both people were looking away with hesitant expressions.

“Oh, that’s… “The three of us had a little chat with Kayla yesterday.”

“Really? “What did we talk about?”

“Ah… “That’s not a big deal…”

Then Tyria started speaking gibberish.

Anyone could see that she was hiding something.

Then she suddenly let out a sigh and took out her backpack and started rummaging through it.

“Actually, I have something to give to Seohyun.”

What came out of her backpack was a small dagger.

It was a dagger mainly used by elves.

However, since everything from the handle to the sheath was embroidered, it was clear that it was not an item made with ordinary care.

“I have always felt grateful to Seohyun.”

Did you prepare a gift in return?

I guess he knew that I had just fought Catherine and all my weapons had been destroyed.

“It’s a dagger for self-defense. The handle was made from branches of the World Tree, and the most precious metal was used.”

According to Tyria’s words, she says that she is a better sword than the dagger she owns.

“Is it okay if I take it?”

To be honest, it was a weapon so precious that it was burdensome.

It was an item that could not be put on a price, as it used nothing but the branches of the World Tree.

Then Tyria carefully handed me the dagger.

“This is a dagger that I can give you only because you are Seohyun.”

She carefully opened her scabbard and looked inside, impressed by the sharply polished blade.

A dagger so beautiful that it is on a completely different level from the weapons used so far.

At this level, it could be considered a craft rather than a weapon.

“Thank you. “I will keep it well.”

All the weapons I have used so far have been lost or broken.

I promised myself that I would never use the dagger that Tyria gave me as a gift.

“Actually, I didn’t know what gift to give to Seohyun yesterday, so I asked the two of you.”

“To Serika and Kayla?”

“Yes. But Kayla suddenly went outside.”

“It was even the middle of the night.”

It is said that Kayla went out and did not return until dawn.

Fortunately, she woke up early in the morning to find her asleep in bed.

She had been in a half-asleep state since morning until now.

‘Maybe it was because the gift bothered me.’

Until now, it has been rare for me to receive a gift from someone.

Although I did receive a sword and shield from Julia, it was more of a support than a gift.

Was that something that bothered Kayla?

‘There’s no need to give me a gift.’

I don’t know about anyone else, but Erina and Kayla have never asked for a gift.

I was grateful just for keeping me by my side.

While I was looking at Tyria’s gift, someone snatched the dagger from me.

“Erina.”

“…”

Erina glares at Tyria while holding the dagger in both her hands.

Then Tyria’s body shrank and her eyes wavered.

“Erina. “Give it back quickly.”

“…I don’t like it.”

“This is a gift from Tyria.”

“…”

Is she out by her standards?

It seemed like he was planning to steal the gift from me, so he hid it behind his back.

Then Tyria mustered up her courage and left a message.

“Please give it back!”

“…”

“This is a precious gift to Seohyun. Please…”

Since Tyria already knew of Erina’s stubbornness, she simply stopped at her request.

Her body was shaking and she was nervous, fearing that Erina might get angry and attack her.

“…”

Erina just closed her mouth and glared.

The dagger was still hidden behind his back.

“Okay. Erina. “Give it back quickly.”

“…I don’t like it.”

Erina stubbornly shook her head.

She couldn’t help but grabbed her face and hugged her.

While she was struggling in my arms, I took advantage of her lack of strength to retrieve her gift.

“Ugh…”

Although I tried to get her to give it back, struggling with her hand.

“Erina. “Stop it now.”

When I urged him harshly, he seemed to have given up and calmly fell into my arms.

Tyria’s face turns red as she sees that.

I also clicked her tongue at her shy heart.

“Thank you, Tyria. “I will definitely cherish your gift.”

“Yes… “

I answered, but the focus was already elsewhere.

Her eyes were fixed on Erina who was hugged by me and she did not let go.

Her face was getting redder as she watched our lovemaking.

Eventually, I no longer felt uncomfortable sharing skinship with Erina.

I was still embarrassed by the stares coming from people around me.

‘Can we reduce skinship little by little?’

In order to relieve Erina of her obsession, she had to distance herself from the street.

But if I tried to keep my distance, she couldn’t act carelessly because she knew how Erina would react.

A dangerous atmosphere continued inside the carriage heading to the capital.
