Episode 342 Naked Face (2)
…
Silence.
Silence like eternity flows in the bathroom.
Dolores was looking down at Choco Ani Bikir with a blank expression.
“…Chocolate. Did you just say that?”
She pulled Bikir by the body.
Suk-
Bikir wanted to be sorry, but he shut his mouth and avoided his gaze, but it was already too late.
“Is it chocolate? Is it chocolate? That’s right. The mole on the soles of the feet and the scars on the bridge of the nose… Did the demon transform?
Dolores began examining every inch of Bikir’s body.
From the condition of the gums by pulling the lips to the condition of the eyelids and the eyes, everything is thoroughly examined.
After the fierce battle with the dragon horse, Bikir managed to regain his consciousness.
I had no choice but to open my mouth to avoid suspicion.
“……bruise.”
However, because of the clear and careful pronunciation, the lines that felt more awkward and unnatural rather fueled Dolores’ alertness.
“Who are you! What is your true identity?”
Dolores seemed a little frightened now.
It seemed that the situation would get out of hand if left as it was, so Vikir had no choice but to tell the truth.
“Calm down.”
The moment Bikir spoke, the warm bath water seemed to freeze instantly.
Dolores hardened as if she had become a statue of ice.
“…”
“…”
Infinite stillness began to flow again.
“Um. There must be a misunderstanding…
”
As soon as Bikir, unable to withstand the weight of silence, opened his mouth again, Dolores’ screams rang out.
This is something that can’t be helped.
Bikir decided to transform into a night hound while wearing a mask.
Wouldn’t it be explained somehow if only the face was covered with a mask on the human body?
That would be much quicker and more intuitive than verbal instruction.
…pop!
Eventually, Bikir’s human body is revealed by the effect of the picaresque mask.
Dive – sway!
Vikir’s body draped over Dolores’ half-lying body in the bathtub, causing waves to rise.
A shocked expression clearly visible even through the haze of steam.
With Dolores in front of her, Vikir lowered her voice as much as possible.
“It’s me. The Hound of the Night. Ban…”
But.
“Cut in half!”
What returned was Dolores’ fist.
…Fuck!
Dolores was so embarrassed that she performed the miracle of splitting the bath water in half.
With her fists strengthened by divine power, she repulsed the molester in front of her eyes.
Porridge bread.
The fist that was fired with a tremendous aura reminded me of Dolores in her heyday, who was called the Saint of Steel.
And the moment that fist hit Bikir’s chin.
…tuk!
Of course, Bikir’s consciousness, which was being held thinly, was cut off.
* * *
I slept well for the first time in a while. It was a good night’s sleep without a single nightmare.
“……!”
Bikir jumped up from the bed.
My wounds were almost all better.
However, the face mask and clothes were still all removed.
Bikir got up from the covers and immediately met Dolores’s eyes, who were sitting by her bedside.
“…”
“…”
It was a terrifyingly thick silence.
You can even hear the sound of cells dividing.
After a long silence, Dolores was the first to speak.
“Has this happened? Night hunting… no Van… no Bikir…”
she continued with her head bowed, her face flushed red.
“That… I didn’t want to take off the mask… but it was so full of water that I couldn’t breathe…”
Bikire nodded. What can I do?
“I owe you.”
It was something that sparked a conversation.
However, Dolores’ face turned even more red when she heard those words.
Until now, I wondered if I could become more red here, but I guess I had enough energy left to do so.
Dolores was silent with her head down, so Vikir looked away.
Then, on the other side of the sofa, I saw the baby madam and Dekarabia sitting quietly.
“…I wondered where he was.”
[Sorry human. I tried to hide, but it was discovered right away.]
[Nuclear nuke-]
With her bare face, her unique mask and voice, and even the young madam and Dekaravia, now disguised and acting are meaningless.
Bikir sighed and opened his mouth.
“This is…”
“I know.”
But before Bikir could say anything, Dolores raised her head and spoke.
“I have no doubts that everything was meant to be.”
“…”
“Don’t try too hard by yourself. You’re my teammate.”
Dolores returned exactly what Vikir had said earlier.
‘I don’t have to work too hard alone. Because they’re colleagues.’
How she longed to return these words to the night hound, or Vikir.
‘I can finally tell him this!’
Although the timing was a bit odd, what a big deal!
I found out the identity of the ‘soul mate’, the night hound that I missed and was curious about so much!
Dolores studied Bikir closely.
It was an action to check whether there were any wounds, but soon her face turned bright red again.
“Oh you should put some clothes on…”
Dolores said in a crawling voice as she handed her a bathrobe.
So far, while treating numerous patients, I have seen countless men’s naked bodies.
However, she was surprised to find out why her heart was beating so loudly.
Before long, Dolores could not stand the awkward silence and spoke again.
“By the way, how is the ability to transform into a dog…why…?”
“It’s an ability I got after hunting Dantalian in the past.”
“Aha…”
Dolores asked in a more hushed voice than before.
“Then, the last time we took a bath together…?”
“It was me then.”
at the same time.
…Woe!
Dolores’ face flushed as if it were about to explode.
The first thing I remember is kissing Bikir’s soles and hands.
After that, memories of stroking her hair, pressing her cheeks, touching her chin, rubbing her stomach, and rubbing their noses against each other.
Next…
‘Originally, dogs often kiss.’
‘…’
‘We don’t serve chocolate. sad.’
‘…’
‘Aren’t you a dog by any chance? Do you think this is suspicious?’
Bikir’s tongue licked Dolores’ cheek.
And Dolores, who kissed Bikir’s mouth, nose, and other parts of his face.
Dolores shuts her mouth tightly and swallows the screams that burst out.
Bikir throws a joke of his own to solve such an atmosphere somehow.
“…It’s good that he wasn’t neutered.”
“Ah ah ah ah!”
Of course, that only irritated Dolores even more.
* * *
Two more days passed after that.
Dolores was able to clean up all the simmas she had until then.
“The more painful the reality is, the more deeply you must think about the meaning of life and religion. Only then will it lead you to a better realm of goodness… This is the result of worrying and suffering. It didn’t mean that the process itself had meaning. Thank you, Vikir.”
Her expression, as if she had attained some realization, was more determined than ever before.
Bikir didn’t know much about theology, so he just nodded.
‘Before returning, this floor was where Dolores wasted the most time. But this time it’s a little different.’
In the past, Dolores had simply wasted months on this floor.
Then, the lesser Tudor desperately persuaded her to find Bianca, and eventually left this floor.
But this time around, Dolores was very quick to shake off her mind.
I’m not sure if it’s because of the realization or the shocking incident in the bathroom or both.
“…If we go out of this gate, will we break up again?”
“I guess so.”
Vikir nodded absentmindedly at Dolores’ question, which was filled with regret.
But even if we break up now, we will meet again someday. Because the top is such a space.
Countless people could be saved if Dolores came to her senses earlier and came to the tower.
Stride-
Bikir took a step forward.
After a moment of hesitation, Dolores grabbed the cuff of Vikir’s dress for a moment.
And then.
Stride-
She also takes a big step and stands next to Bikir.
< ※ A small bonus for all of you who must have worked hard to get here! Let's send a message to the person outside the tower who will be waiting for me ! < ※ Originally, the 'letter item', which is equivalent to one golden candy, is provided free of charge to residents of this floor once a month! > “There is no time to wait for a month. Even at this moment, countless people on other
floors You will be suffering.”
< ※ The probability of entering this room is less than 0.0001%. You are the lucky one chosen! < ※ From the next floor, the difficulty level increases by at least 10 times compared to the previous floors! >
“It doesn’t matter what kind of penance awaits me. I’m not afraid.”
< ※ Please take a good rest here, reorganize your body and mind, and challenge the tower again! >
“…Are you ready?”
“Of course.”
Bikir and Dolores stood side by side on the starting line.
“From here on out, it will be a really tough ascetic road.”
“I can take anything with you.”
“Are you really willing to leave this comfort zone?”
“My heart will never change under any circumstances.”
Vikir nodded at Dolores’ bold reply.
yet. The two started walking in the same direction, looking at the same place, with the same stride.
companion.
Their gaze was shining straight, unwavering.
The 11th floor of the abyss of the abyss, as if he is not afraid of the core of darkness that he will soon face.
