“I couldn’t retrieve what’s in the ‘Report,’ but the patent for the magical device created by Master Senistry still remains. Just in case, I manage the income generated from it in a separate account.”
Jin-ha, who had hoped for any clues other than the cabin, lost interest in disappointment. He wasn’t interested in money or anything like that in this world.
“I see. But wouldn’t it be okay to use it in the tower pretending not to know? It seems they have no intention of reclaiming it since they haven’t appeared for so long.”
“That’s not possible. Master Senistry and that child are my saviors…”
Riyekan seemed a bit shy as he wrinkled his nose.
“That child was actually my first love.”
“…Excuse me?”
“First love, I said, first love.”
“Yes, first love… That, Master Senistry’s child?”
“That’s right.”
So, me?
Jin-ha couldn’t bring himself to ask again and just stared blankly at Riyekan.
“When that child found me dying, they stroked my cheek. At that moment, my fading consciousness returned, and I looked up at the child, who seemed like an angel. I thought the child was an angel sent to guide me to death. Their hair was black, you see. Yes, like Hunter Jin-ha.”
As he said that, Riyekan lightly touched the end of Jin-ha’s hair. Jin-ha suppressed his shock and forced a smile.
“I see…”
“Yes. It’s not just Hunter Jin-ha who has a friend from the past.”
I don’t know why he’s being so proud about this. Jin-ha resolved never to reveal that he was that child. In fact, until just a moment ago, he had intended to tell him. But listening to his story, it seemed like it would only lead to troublesome matters. Saying he would help him inherit Master Senistry’s assets was definitely not what Jin-ha desired. Originally, he wasn’t Master Senistry’s biological child, so there was no reason to receive the inheritance. And he didn’t want to create more troubles in this world.
The story of first love was also like that. Even now, Riyekan was abnormally obsessed with him, and knowing that fact, it would be troublesome if he clung even more.
“Hmm, your expression is strange. Are you jealous?”
“Jealous? Me?”
“Yes, Hunter Jin-ha.”
“No, I’m not.”
It’s strange to be jealous of oneself.
Interpreting his dumbfounded and incredulous expression somehow, Riyekan tilted his head as if interested and grinned.
“Don’t worry. Even so, now it’s only Hunter Jin-ha.”
Jin-ha changed the subject, pretending not to hear.
“Actually, I’ve been curious why you respected Master Senistry so much, but it’s because they were your savior.”
Then Riyekan frowned.
“I respect any great magician.”
Riyekan, who immediately grinned, continued.
“The problem is that the only great magician I know is Master Senistry.”
Where did the arrogant Riyekan Ertolic go? Jin-ha shook his head.
“Anyway, it’s annoying, so don’t keep bringing up that kid named Riri or Rira.”
“… “
“If you bring it up every time, I’ll bring up my first love story too. Understand?”
Jin-ha was speechless. He thought the reason he considered that a threat was that he thought Jin-ha would be jealous, but he had never been jealous.
He couldn’t say that and it was awkward to just let it go, so he made a vague expression. Then Riyekan chuckled and came closer, sitting right next to him.
“No, actually, it’s a lie.”
“A lie… you say?”
From where to where? Jin-ha looked at the man in confusion. Interpreting that somehow, Riyekan kissed him on the lips.
“Yes. I didn’t know you would take it so seriously and be jealous.”
“I’m not jealous.”
“Well, I was twelve at the time. That kid was seven. Maybe now, but back then, even a one or two-year age difference was significant, so there’s no way I could have liked a kid five years younger than me.”
Twelve years old…?
Jin-ha was shocked in a different sense. He had thought Riri was a bit older than him. But he didn’t know he was five years older.
Why? Because Riri wasn’t much taller than Jin-ha and was thin and frail. There was only one reason why he was underdeveloped for his age at such a young age. He hadn’t eaten well.
“Come to think of it, Hunter Jin-ha and I are also five years apart?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Thinking about it again, it’s just the right age difference.”
What does it matter if his personality is a bit bad? Growing up under such an abusive father, he was already splendid enough. And he was tall too.
As Jin-ha was thinking such thoughts, Riyekan suddenly frowned deeply.
“…Jin-ha, your eyes look a bit wicked right now?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s similar to the look you had when you were looking at those kids in the dining hall before…”
“No, it’s not.”
Jin-ha quickly put on a serious face. He had to, remembering how Riyekan had made a fuss, emitting pheromones, telling him not to look at him like that.
Afraid that he might continue to misunderstand strangely, Jin-ha licked Riyekan’s lips with his tongue to prove his words.
After checking Riyekan’s expression again, his expression had softened a bit, but he was still suspicious. Jin-ha overlapped their lips and touched their tongues.
After continuing the sticky kiss for a while, Jin-ha provocatively asked.
“Who kisses a kid like this?”
“Okay, I’ll believe you.”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
Riyekan looked at Jin-ha and nodded satisfactorily. He wasn’t a man who didn’t know he was being sarcastic, so this was really twisted.
Jin-ha, who had been touched that the other had grown up well, also forgot that fact and clicked his tongue inside.
“… “
“Why are you like that?”
After a brief silence, Riyekan tilted his head.
“Now that I think about it, that kid called me strangely…”
He called me Riri. But it was troublesome to recall that now. Jin-ha quickly grabbed Riyekan’s shoulders, turned him towards him, and interrogated.
“More importantly, what’s the story about the rut already being over?”
“Ah, that…”
“Why didn’t you tell me when the rut was over?”
“Well, because Hunter Jin-ha seemed like he wouldn’t want to do it anymore if I said the rut was over.”
“Of course.”
“I wanted to do it more. Actually, it’s still a bit insufficient. Shall we do it a little more?”
Riyekan winked and leaned his body closer. Really shameless. After tormenting someone like that, how could he suggest doing it again right away?
Jin-ha pushed Riyekan away firmly.
“Let’s be moderate. Doing it day and night for several days and then again as soon as you wake up, are you a beast?”
“All Alphas are beasts.”
“They only do it during the rut.”
“What nonsense is that?”
Riyekan’s fierce eyes grew as if he had heard such nonsense for the first time. That expression also somewhat resembled Riri.
“While I was in the tower, you never did that once. You only got a bit unstable when pheromones built up… Don’t Alphas only want to do it when there’s a problem with pheromones?”
“Ha, that’s because there was no suitable partner. Why should I do that when I have a ‘serious relationship’ with Jin-ha?”
“But, even so… Alphas and Omegas have rut and heat cycles, right? Doesn’t that mean they don’t have sexual desire otherwise?”
On Earth, animals with mating seasons only mated and had offspring during those periods. Even if the mating season was fixed or varied by individual, that was the case.
So, Jin-ha naturally thought that if Alphas and Omegas only had rut, and if they managed it well usually, they wouldn’t have such intense and deep nights often.
Riyekan frowned and shook his head, then grabbed Jin-ha’s chin.
“I’m sorry, but my sexual desire is intact. I’ve endured the rut with medicine for a long time, so it’s rather overflowing.”
“But… why?”
“Why? Because Jin-ha is lewd.”
This is a flow to do it.
Jin-ha quickly tried to push his body back, but Riyekan grabbing his waist was faster.
“Now that I’m not lonely, my cock stands up.”
A tingling sensation surged from the waist gently stroked by large hands. Jin-ha looked up at Riyekan with trembling eyes. Surprisingly, Jin-ha’s heart also moved.
I’m lewd? That was an absurd evasion of responsibility. The lewd one was Riyekan. Even the smile on the man’s lips, tilted as he looked at him, was lewd. And what about the lips? They looked so delicious that he wanted to bite them right away. His gaze was as intense and fierce as a carnivorous animal, so once caught, it was impossible to escape. In this situation, the only thing to do was to kiss again…
Thinking up to that point, Jin-ha shuddered and pushed Riyekan away with all his might.
“Jin-ha?”
“W-wait. Just a moment.”
Jin-ha hurriedly got off the bed and looked for the clothes he had thrown off a few days ago. His jacket was hanging on the wall hanger. Jin-ha went there, took out the status abnormality removal potion he had put in the inner pocket before, and drank it in one go.
