The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

56 – Unexpected variable (14)

“Good job everyone.”

After my words, the colleagues put down their burdens.

Erina dismantled her armor and Kayla removed her robes.

Colin put down the pouch she was holding.

Fortunately, we were able to reach the neighboring village in one day.

It was the result of Kayla carrying Colin, who was weak in her physical strength, and marching until dawn.

Thanks to that, I was able to get a room at an inn right before the evening was over.

“Thank God. If I had been a little late, the inn would have been locked.”

“I was lucky. Even though I didn’t get to eat.”

It’s getting late, and the cook has already left work.

I went hungry for dinner, but I was content with taking a warm bath.

Above all, the size of the inn was very large. Although the facilities were a bit old, the accommodation cost was affordable.

“I can finally sleep in my bed.”

I got used to sleeping on straw and blankets, but it was nothing compared to a bed.

She took off the leather armor she had been wearing. As she unarmed, she let out a sigh at the lighter sensation.

As soon as I put on my light short sleeves, my eyes suddenly turned to me.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“That, that’s… I think I’m getting better.”

Considering the hardships she had gone through, it was natural.

She climbed the mountain and swung a knife every day, but it was rather strange that her body didn’t get better.

“Can’t I just touch it once…?”

“No.”

She barely dropped Erina, who was clinging tenaciously.

But she didn’t give up on Erina and started complaining about her.

Then, Kayla spoke to me. Colin was by her side.

“Seohyun.”

“Huh?”

“Is it okay if I take a bath with Colin-sama today?”

Looking at Colin next to her, she nodded.

It seems that I kissed them without knowing.

There was no reason to dry it. I don’t even know if there’s a reason to ask permission from me in the first place.

“Then go first. Me and Erina will be waiting for you.”

With my permission, Kayla took her Colin’s hand.

Colin didn’t particularly object.

It hasn’t been long since we got to know each other, but they seemed pretty close.

‘Surprisingly, Kayla is friendly.’

I was worried that after telling the truth about the village, the relationship between Kayla and Colleen would become awkward.

But rather, it served as an opportunity for the two to become closer.

Since she revealed that she is a dragon, Kayla has no reason to avoid her Colin.

Unlike before, I approached her actively and spoke to her.

‘Come to think of it, Kayla was really nice.’

Even when Erina was openly hostile, she smiled and tried to be friendly.

Although her results were not good, I forgave her and became her teammate.

Even now, I couldn’t say that the relationship between the two was good.

But at least there was no friction.

Mostly I knew it was because Kayla bowed her head and went in first.

“Then I’ll be back.”

“I’ll be back too!”

From noble mtl dot com

Colleen and Kayla left the room together.

I was holding her hand even on the way out of the door.

I laughed at the heartwarming sight.

I closed the door and watched them until they disappeared.

As the door closed, I felt a weight behind my back.

“What are you doing?”

Erina clung to my back and rubbed.

She had sweat and dirt on her body from marching all day.

But she didn’t care and stuck her head in my body and didn’t fall.

“Finally alone with you. Tired of hanging out with b*tches like that.”

It was too sharp a tone to be complaining about.

Unlike Kayla, Erina hated Colin.

On the one hand, I also put my mind down.

She didn’t like Colin, even though she hated Kyla, whom she’d been going to for over a month.

“Stop that and be nice to Kayla or Colin.”

“I just need you. I don’t need anyone else.”

I have heard it several times already.

It’s a good thing to always keep an unchanging heart, but at least this could be called stubbornness.

In my heart, I wanted Erina to get along with other people.

Above all, I plan to bring in another colleague as soon as possible.

Even then, it was difficult to threaten or start a fight like Kayla.

“Even if you look at me, treat me warmly. Especially since Colin is in a very difficult situation.”

“I know. That’s why I’m staying still.”

I heard the urge to hit him on the head at the nasty voice.

But there was a time when I did the same thing before, and Erina was embarrassed and scared.

I stroked her hair roughly, feeling sorry for her.

She laughed happily as if she didn’t know what I was thinking.

“Anyway, stop talking about b*tches. She’s with me now.”

Even though her hair was messy, it rather dug into my arms.

I laughed out loud when I saw him smiling broadly as if he was happy.

Before, Erina often clung to me.

Maybe it’s because there are no other people’s eyes now, so I’ve narrowed the distance more blatantly.

She was also taking off her usual armor.

Erina’s body touched her white dress.

She already touched her body often, so it didn’t bother her.

However, the act of not being too conscious of it caught my heart.

‘Won’t you do something strange at night?’

Fortunately, Kyla is there too, so she won’t be reckless.

But considering Erina’s actions so far were getting bolder, it wasn’t completely out of the question.

Even so, she couldn’t do anything strange with Erina.

But people don’t know that it’s a job.

“A little bit off.”

“Yes? Why?”

“No, I think the distance is too close.”

I decided to practice moving a little further from now on.

Until now, sleeping was allowed because it was cold, but it was necessary to reduce the number of times.

“Erina. Let’s sleep separately for a while.”

“Yes…?”

As if not expecting my words at all, Erina grabbed my hand in surprise.

Still, I had no intention of giving up her argument.

“Why, why…? You don’t like sleeping with me…?”

“There are many beds, so there’s no reason to sleep together uncomfortably.”

“Then can’t we put the bed sideways? Then it doesn’t matter!”

“There’s no reason for that. It doesn’t matter if you sleep separately anyway.”

Erina kept her mouth shut as if she couldn’t come up with an excuse.

But she seemed unwilling to give up.

“Please. Could you please allow me to sleep with you…?”

She had a habit of holding her hand whenever she said something important.

Of course, it is still the same now.

“I’ve been having nightmares every time I sleep lately.”

“A nightmare?”

I didn’t know that there was such an inside story because I always saw her sleeping comfortably.

“I’m scared whenever I fall asleep alone. But I can have happy dreams when I sleep with you.”

I didn’t know if it was true or not, but if you said it this far, it was hard for me to deny it.

“It can’t be helped.”

“Are you okay then?”

Her expression brightened again as if it had never happened.

Still, he didn’t come close to hug me, as if he had noticed my intentions.

Still, Erina was acting more cautiously than before.

Things have changed little by little since my bluff in Norton Village.

“Yes, then.”

“Huh?”

“Can we take a bath together…?”

“No.”

But it still seemed like there was a long way to go.

***

“Haaa…”

Kayla let out a sigh as she soaked herself in her bath.

I felt relieved with the warm water.

Tension went down in her body, exhausted from the continuous marching.

She hasn’t bathed properly since she’s been camping so far.

‘It would have been better if I had been with my lord.’

Although it was regrettable, he endured her desire.

In fact, she said that when Erina asked her to take a bath with her, she also joined her.

However, she immediately noticed the master’s reaction and just stayed still.

Instead, there was another person beside her.

“I’ll go in too.”

A small girl slowly entered her bath.

Colin glanced at Kayla from the side of her eye and moved to her side.

Although it’s still awkward, the distance soon became closer.

Kayla smiled, as if she was in a good mood.

“Are you feeling a little better?”

“Yes. I’m fine. Thanks to Kayla-sama’s carrying me, I arrived at the village quickly.”

An answer came out that was different from the intent of the question.

But Kayla didn’t bother to point that out.

Isn’t she the one who forgave herself even though she knew everything that happened in the village?

She wasn’t comparable to her master, but it was a relationship she was grateful for.

“By the way, do you have a reason to bathe together?”

It was Kayla who suggested that she take a bath with her.

Colin predicted that she would have a purpose other than just friendship.

Kayla gave a mysterious smile and nodded her head.

“It’s nothing special. But I have a question I’d like to ask Colin-nim.”

“Any questions?”

“Yes. Please answer honestly.”

Colin thought to herself that she would come in with her questions about her town and her treatment of herself.

But a completely different subject popped up.

“What do you think of Erina-sama?”
