Impregnation Reincarnation Adventurer ep036. Half a Month Later
I woke up. I look around.
It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.
「 Oh, this is one of the rooms at the base
It’s one of the houses that the adventurers use to dive at the Mara dungeon.
I drag my languid body up.
I’m lying naked on the bed with a thin blanket over me.
My equipment got all taken off and my body was thoroughly wiped clean with a cloth. The wounds were also tended to. Seeing the bandage knot, I assume that this is Claire’s work. I naturally smile when I think that even though she might be exhausted, she still tries to fulfill her duties, showing that she hasn’t changed.
「 I never thought that we’d make it all back alive. We were lucky 」
This time, there wasn’t a situation that could be handled with just sheer force.
It was a gallery of reckless defiance on the spot. I think that behavior is contrary to my previous style as an adventurer. I’ve done stupid things. That’s so unlike me. It’s illogical. There was no reasoning behind it all. I was too emotional.
「 But, I don’t regret it 」
「 That’s fine, but reflect on yourself a bit 」
I’m surprised by the sudden voice that my hair stood up.
I hurriedly turned my head to the voice.
I look at her face illuminated by the swaying lamp.
It’s Marie. She’s showing her usual poker face.
And yet, she’s there, looking somewhat grumpy.
「 Is there anything on my face? 」
「 …You angry? 」
「 Yeah 」
「 Why 」
「 You know why 」
「 Marie, listen. I… 」
「 I’m not listening 」
「 No, don’t say that 」
「 Didn’t you say that you’ll abandon me? That the priority is to bring back information? And yet, forcing me to activate the magic circle and follow me is just suicidal. You could’ve died from Mana exhaustion. You’re an idiot. If not for Claire, it won’t be a surprise if you would’ve died a slow death! If you encounter a monster, they’ll eat you on the spot and that’ll be the end of you. Even after that, without Alex, you wouldn’t be able to fight golems or monsters, and without Cindy, you won’t have time to search and not enough water or food, any objections? 」
「 Uuu, guu, none… 」
Seems like she heard the whole story of what happened in the dungeon.
「 I thought you made up your mind in front of Alex that you were giving up on me before leaving and yet, once you got out, you were trying to get back in…are you an idiot? 」
A cold insult.
「 You heard it from Alex, don’t you? About my lifespan 」
「 Yeah, I did 」
「 I’m going to die soon. It’s insane to try and dive with wounds all over yourself in a dungeon where so much dungeon has been exposed for someone like that… 」
「 Yeah, you’re right 」
I just keep on affirming. Marie’s eyes chill me.
Her dead eyes show that her emotion is frozen.
「 Now I regret having sex with you that night 」
A devastating declaration constricts my chest.
「 I wanted to have sex at least before I died. I feel my end of life approaching every day. Just in time, we’ve reunited. So, I wanted your embrace to become our last memory. It’s not like I did it because you were attractive or like I had a crush on you or anything, don’t misunderstand 」
「 Okay… 」
I’m both disappointed and convinced by what she says.
I lack confidence in myself. I wonder if there’s anyone who would like such a person. No way. I’m just a man who showed up nearby so I’m not that special. It’s a situation I know too well. In my past life and this life, someone’s always using me.
Although, it would be wrong to hope for more than the good luck that I received from this beautiful woman named Marie. I know that, that’s why my mind is strong. So, her mindless words fall flat on my gut.
「 I regret it now 」
I guess she didn’t like my attitude, she’s giving off an irritated vibe and she’s not even moving her eyebrows, it’s choking me out.
「 Sorry, it’s all my fault 」
「 No. You got it wrong! 」
Marie shouts, squeezing her voice.
She brushes her messy hair, her lips are shaking, and her eyes turn moist as she stares at me.
「 Why…w-why are you so being reasonable!! You’re an idiot! Idiot! Fool! What a bit fool! 」
Tears fall from Marie’s eyes.
「 Tell me that I’m lying! Tell me that I’ve fallen for you! Tell me that I’ve been itching for your embrace right now! Say that you’ll force yourself on me, and have sex until my brain goes crazy. Say that you’ll make me your woman!! 」
「 H-Hey, calm down! 」
Marie’s tossing her clothes wildly.
Her fair skin is already blushing with moisture, and her sloppy love juices are flowing out of her slutty slit.
I’m stunned by her silliness, and once again, she’s holding me down like that day. Her fingers are clasping my arm tightly as cold as ice, but the tears spilling down on my chest are hot. She’s being incoherent right now.
「 I’ve been waiting here! Alone, for three days, waiting for you to come back! I’ve been so anxious, scared…I thought that I’m going to die waiting for you to come back…I thought I wasn’t afraid of death, I thought I had given up, but the thought of never seeing you again scared me so much that it made me cry! I pretended not to notice, but the truth is, I’m too afraid to even talk about it! It’s all..all your fault! I’m such an idiot 」
I continue to listen as she monologues in tears.
I wanted to take in all the emotions she had.
「 Hey, do you know what I thought when I saw you come home from the party? Fufu, I thought that it was unfair. Alex, Claire, and Cindy, they’re all unfair. It’s not what you think of friends who risked their lives to come home, but to see them all by your side and to think that I wasn’t there…that I’m not going to be there for the rest of my life….it was the worst thing I ever thought. But I didn’t know I had these feelings. I never did.. 」
Her grip on my arm is getting stronger.
I endure the creaking sensation in my bones.
「 Zaryuu, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I want to go on adventures with everyone. I want to go to Dungeons with everyone. I want to stay by your side…I don’t…don’t want to be left alone…I’m afraid of dying 」
Marie shouts thinly.
Marie’s showing her emotions.
She’s asking for help. She wants to live.
「 Marie… 」
I inhaled.
I want power. I want the strength to grant her wish.
「 I’m going to make sure to help you 」
And for that reason, I’m going to use any method.
「 After all, you’re my woman. Isn’t that right? 」
I embraced Marie who broke down crying.
Stronger and stronger, I embraced her tighter, not letting go of this warmth.
I have a method to gain strength. I no longer have a reason to hesitate.
I’ll make other women pregnant, all just to save her
