“Sure.”
"......?"
He slowly raised his head at the strange answer, and Hyeon Gyu-ha was smiling faintly. His eyes were subdued, a stark contrast to his playful response.
"Of course I want to sleep. I wonder how sweet it would be to lick Yoo-shin-ssi's skin, and I want to carve my marks all over her pale skin. I also really want to see what kind of face Yoo-shin-ssi would look at me with when he's all red."
In Yoo-shin, who hadn't even imagined the specifics, felt his face flush with heat. But this time, he didn't interrupt and listened intently.
Hyeon Gyu-ha gently pressed his finger against his earlobe, which was now bright red. That alone made his shoulders flinch and his eyes close tightly. He kissed his lowered eyelashes. The warmth of her trembling, thin eyelids sent a tingling shiver down his heart.
If he continues kissing In Yoo-shin like this and moves his hand deep inside him, In Yoo-shin will obediently put his arm around his shoulder. The rest will probably be quite easy.
But Hyeon Gyu-ha suppressed the desire boiling within him with a shallow kiss. He carefully licked her lower lip, withdrawing his tongue from its lingering strokes. In Yoo-shin's breathing became shallow and ragged. The desire to steal every breath of his and make it his own seemed poised to surge forth at any moment.
Hyeon Gyu-ha took a deep breath and rested his forehead on In Yoo-shin's shoulder. He still couldn't hold him back.
His heart and mine are different in size, color, and desire. If I were to unleash the desires seething within me, he would be helplessly swept away and drown.
At least when I can become someone you can lean on, even if I can't completely hold him, when times get tough. When I can fully share the love you learned from your mother and father with you.
So, Hyeon Gyu-ha tried to moderately cover up this desire and whispered.
"Honestly, I'm going to be away for a while, so I don't feel like I'm being chased for no reason, right? That's why I said the same thing earlier, right?"
“......But if Gyu-ha-ssi leaves, I don't know when I'll see you again."
“I’ll be back.”
"What will I do when I become a grandfather?"
"You can still have sex even when you're a grandfather."
When In Yoo-shin looked at him with a look of resentment at his natural response, Hyeon Gyu-ha narrowed his eyes and played with his hair.
“I don’t even have the supplies I need to prepare right now.”
“Ah……”
“First of all, it’s a Gong Tae-seong’s villa. It’s a bit much to do it here, isn’t it?”
That was certainly the case. In Yoo-shin, in his impatience over Hyeon Gyu-ha's departure, had forgotten that this wasn't a lodging, but a villa rented for a few days, and he felt a little disheartened. Hyeon Gyu-ha tugged at In Yoo-shin's hair, burying his lips in it, and pulled him closer.
"Let's not think about anything else and just focus on having fun during our vacation."
The steady, pounding sound of Hyeon Gyu-ha's heart gently spread across their touching skin. In Yoo-shin leaned her face against Hyeon Gyu-ha's chest, enveloped in that tenderness. She would never forget this warmth.
For the rest of his vacation, he decided to focus solely on having fun, as Hyeon Gyu-ha had suggested. Although it was an unfamiliar environment, 6-se adapted without stress thanks to his owner. He even escaped from his cage once to look out the window.
Happy times always fly by. The sunset, a blazing crimson that seemed to burn the distant horizon, was slowly fading. It was the last day he planned to spend at the villa.
In Yoo-shin turned his head to avoid seeing Gong Tae-seong getting out of the car. As if doing so could extend this time indefinitely.
However, Gong Tae-seong walked towards them in the backyard of the villa, and Somnoros appeared and greeted them warmly.
『Prince! His lover! Hello!』
In Yoo-shin, whose toes had been tapping the dirt, lowered his head slightly. Gong Tae-seong handed Hyeon Gyu-ha a square case the size of his palm.
"Anna's blood sample. Please."
"I can't guarantee it."
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been putting the case away, stroked In Yoo-shin's forehead, who had been silent for a while.
"Are you going to see me off with that expression?"
In Yoo-shin just turned his face away without responding.
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had retrieved the Hidden Boss Crystal Stone he'd received from Gong Tae-seong and Baek Su-eon in the inventory, placed In Yoo-shin's hand on it. In Yoo-shin wiggled his fingers on the crystal stone's surface, which felt as warm as body heat. Once Hyeon Gyu-ha had completed the key, he too would depart.
"If you don't feel like it, should I go see Grandma alone?"
".....no."
Reflexively, he gripped the crystal stone a little tighter. Infusing mana into the crystal stone would cause time to flow differently than in reality. I wanted to spend just a little more time with Hyeon Gyu-ha.
Hyeon Gyu-ha placed his hand on In Yoo-shin's and injected mana into him. In an instant, the surroundings darkened, and seven stars gazed down upon them. It was a sight I'd seen before. It felt like ages ago, but in reality, it was only a few months ago.
『Help me.』
Just like before, the girl's voice was followed by two elders standing under stars shining in the west and south, waiting for Hyeon Gyu-ha from across a vast expanse of time. The shadows showed people bleeding and starving—an unchanging omen of ruin. A saint who could only watch as the world rushed toward its end.
The Saint of Wednesday, Spunta Mierkuri.
The Saint of Sunday, Spunta Duminică.
Hyeon Gyu-ha just stared at the eldery without saying anything, and they bowed respectfully with expressions of extreme weariness and pain.
Even in the Iad I was about to go to, would such a arduous destruction await me? As such thoughts began to occupy his mind, he became even more depressed. After the final farewell, the world returned to the backyard, where the sunset was slowly fading.
Hyeon Gyu-ha gathered the keys, which had been transformed into flesh and bone, into one place. The large and small chunks of flesh writhed as if alive, finally becoming one whole.
[Henri Raymond Charles François VII acquired the 'Heart of Stoya'.]
Even without checking the message, the fist-sized, crimson lump of flesh resting on Hyeon Gyu-ha's palm truly looked like a heart. A heart so vibrant and vibrant it seemed ready to pound and pulsate at any moment.
Gong Tae-seong frowned.
"Could it be that the key was the heart?"
Of course, Hyeon Gyu-ha ignored those words, but when In Yoo-shin asked, "Is that the heart of the person who was buried in the ground?", he kindly explained it.
"That's right. Our Master is so full of talent."
"I just read the message......."
"You can send people messages all day long, but there are so many who can't turn them into useful knowledge. Gong Tae-seong, for example."
"Haa."
Gong Tae-seong, who was guilty of committing a sin, just sighed, which was unusual for a choleric person.
"My aunt is also a king who supports ®ÀÇ just like my father, so she said that she cut her heart into pieces and scattered them so that I could later find the key to ®ÀÇ. It seems that scattering the heart as a whole was too much."
『To distinguish her from prince’s father, she is usually called the dead king!』
"The pendant I saw last time contained my aunt's blood."
"Is she alive without a heart?"
"They say that she became a resident of the underworld after being buried underground. Perhaps her physical body was unnecessary."
I wasted a lot of time asking questions, but I didn't even know what else to ask. Somnoros swam in circles in the air, flapping its fins.
『Prince! Hurry up and make a contract with me and take me with you!』
"It didn't help here, so what good would it do if I went there?"
"It's better than just sleeping here."
『Both of you are too much!』
Somnoros's large eyes were tearful.
"Even if you pretend to be a whale, you're still a fish. What kind of fish sheds tears?"
Contrary to his cold words, Hyeon Gyu-ha signed a contract with Somnoros.
[Henri Raymond Charles François VII made a contract with the 'Divine fish(神魚) Somnoros'.]
......Now everything is really ready.
Hyeon Gyu-ha took In Yoo-shin's hesitant hand and pressed his lips to the back of it. Before him, his lips, always soft, formed a gentle curve.
"Okay, I'll be off."
As if he were just going out for a bit. As if he would see me again soon.
Hyeon Gyu-ha said his final goodbyes. In Yoo-shin, who was aware that he was deliberately using light language to comfort him, took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"......You can come slowly, Gyu-ha-ssi, you have to finish everything you want to do."
"If time flowed differently, I might come back in five minutes. Even if I become a grandfather by then, don't abandon me."
In Yoo-shin silently held Hyungyuha's hand. Then, Hyeon Gyu-ha injected a final dose of mana into Heart of Stoya. A dazzling blaze of blood, like blood spurting from the crimson heart, illuminated the scene.
[Uses the 'Heart of Stoya' owned by Henri Raymond Charles François VII.]
[The passage to Iad has been connected.]
[Time remaining: 05 minutes 00 seconds]
The door leading to Iad glowed with a sinister, blood-red glow. No, no. In Yoo-shin quickly dismissed his thoughts. Ominous? That's not it at all. I'm just feeling down because of the separation with him.
In Yoo-shin painstakingly controlled his expression, determined to leave a smile in his memory. A soft, always-present smile appeared on Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips.
"Yoo-shin-ssi, come find my lawyer later......."
It was then.
“Squeak!”
At some point, 8-se, who had crawled up to the top of In Yoo-shin's head, leaped down, spreading his limbs. Unfurling his wings between his legs, 8-se glided through the air, his sharply pointed tail extending as fast as his falling speed.
Boom! A piercing sound rang out, the tail piercing the heart.
It happened in the blink of an eye. Even two S-rank hunters couldn't keep up.
[The 'Heart of Stoya', owned by Henri Raymond Charles François VII, was damaged.]
[Unable to maintain a passage connected to Iad.]
The swarm of light disappeared.
“……”
“……”
“……”
『…….』 (This one is the whales one. It’s in Japanese dialogue endings.)
A heavy silence descended.
Amidst the three people and one divine fish, no one could find a word to say.
"Kyuuu?"
Only 8-se who landed on the floor tilted his head in a cute pose as if nothing had happened.

HM: I’m surprised at myself for being able to read the kanji lol. I guess my japanese studying is paying off.
