depends (2)

I led Yuria gently.

According to my will, where my hand led me, Yuria followed like a child.

Looking at his anxiously shaking eyes, it seemed that he was afraid to go out after a long time.

YuRia’s blue eyes shook anxiously like a candle that would go out at any moment.

Seeing her gaze made me want to hug her as much as I did down there.

I held her in my arms and climbed the stairs with her, resisting the thought of rubbing our cheeks.

Standing in front of the dark door, Yuria’s breathing became rough once again.

A little bit of sweat was seeping out of the hands that were holding each other.

I put the back of my hand on her pale cheek.

The soft, cool cheek that touched the back of my hand was trembling slightly.

“scary?”

At my question, Yuria bit her lower lip as if hesitating for a moment.

Is it a little pride, or is there still something to think about.

“yes.”

However, Yuria soon weakly acknowledged her trembling.

“… Leonhard.”

Then, like a small animal looking for its parents, she called me with two small lips.

She trembled pitifully and rubbed the back of my hand against my cheek, which was gently clinging to my hand.

“It’s a big deal.”

I smiled lightly and lightly pressed my cheek down.

“Because you’re so weak.”

At least now, she can’t be alone without me.

No matter what kind of world it is, it will only be trembling slightly for a while.

I reversed the hand I had placed on the back of her hand and stroked her soft cheek.

“I will be by your side. it’s okay.”

I grabbed the hand that was holding it and fixed it.

My white, skinny fingers intertwined with my thick ones.

“Yuria.”

He pressed his soft lips down as if to cover her breath, then playfully removed them just as she let out a small whining sound of pain.

I smiled slightly at YuRia, who looked up at me with a reddened face.

“Well done.”

YuRia put on a relieved expression at my praise.

Do you think it hasn’t been abandoned, or what.

I softly kissed her again, who was making a pitiful expression without power.

She trembled, but gently accepted my kiss.

With her lips crossed, she rubbed the back of her hand, which was covered with thin skin, as if soothing it slowly.

until her tremors subsided.

“Are you okay now?”

At my words, YuRia answered with her moistened lips.

“yes.”

I could see her flushed cheeks and watery eyes peeking out between the thick eyelashes as she answered sadly.

I stood with my back to the door and hugged her and kissed her again.

Then, with one hand turned behind his back, he operated the device.

The door opened and light poured in.

I kept Yuria locked in my arms so she wouldn’t see the light.

I removed my hand from the device and rubbed her protruding neckbone, the shoulder blade where I still had bite marks.

I slowly parted my lips.

When the door opened, white saliva dripped from the light that came in.

“I’m leaving.”

I softly leaned my forehead on Yuria’s breathless forehead and said,

Yuria, who blinked slowly for a moment, shyly nodded.

The anxiety seemed to be gone, but… The tremor still remained.

.

.

.

YuRia fidgeted with Leonhard’s hand.

It’s definitely a familiar place, but I wasn’t used to it. A familiar place felt unfamiliar.

This place was different from the cellar, which was surrounded only by Leonhardt’s.

I already missed the place where everything was stable.

The hallway was strangely quiet. There were still only two people.

It seems like it’s been too long.

Actually, I don’t even know how much time has passed.

YuRia moistened her lips again with her tongue, which had been wet from her kiss with Leonhard earlier.

Her lips, which had dried up from tension, softened again.

“Come here. closer.”

Leonhardt pulled Yuria. Yuria clung to his arm as if she was almost clinging to it.

The closer I got to him, the sweeter a sense of security came. It seemed that nothing would do any harm.

YuRia’s reason made a small appeal as to why she had such a ridiculous illusion.

YuRia vowed to ignore it again.

After leaving the basement, Leonhard led her by saying things that seemed to soothe Yuria from time to time.

I was thinking of asking where I was going, but I wasn’t sure if I could even think about it.

“Leonhard… ”

Having made up her mind, YuRia slowly opened her mouth, moving her tongue stiff from tension.

“Tell me.”

“yes. that is… Uh, where are you going?”

Leonhardt laughed lightly.

“You will find out when you go.”

Oh, it was something I didn’t need to know.

It was like in the room. Leonhardt will tell you what I need to know.

Then there was no need to bother trying to find out.

Seeing Leonhardt’s smile, YuRia tried not to think again.

Just as if I was relying on him, I walked on the street in a daze.

After that, I was kind of sleepy.

Outside, my mind was always as sharp as sharpening a knife.

‘Strange… ‘

Leonhardt raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at YuRia, whose eyes were half closed.

It was a pleasure to see her sleepy face.

Sometimes, even in my arms, she dozed off, and Leonhardt had looked into her face. There was something about her whispering breathing that made people feel strange.

But now it was time to wake up.

for a very short while.

“Open your eyes.”

YuRia slowly opened her eyes at Leonhardt’s words.

Before I knew it, Yuria was standing in front of the auditorium door.

“Here… ”

YuRia looked at Leonhard, puzzled.

Leonhard pulled the corners of his eyes down and smiled a little, then opened the door.

The large auditorium was dark.

For some reason, feeling agitated and anxious, YuRia stayed still in her place, not moving.

It was only after Leonhardt lightly pulled YuRia’s hand that her feet fell off.

Entering the auditorium, Yuria realized that the auditorium was not empty.

There were a lot of people. It was full of blurry figures in the darkness.

Many people gathered in the auditorium were watching Yuria with bated breath as if they were seeing something unfamiliar.

The eyes looking at the strange thing were pierced like sharp blades.

I was suffocating as if someone had choked me. Yuria crouched down.

why is it so hard It used to be a natural look.

‘… Nope. I didn’t take it for granted before.’

It was difficult before.

He just stood there holding on to his leg.

It was difficult to stand upright with trembling legs.

The moment she stumbled and was about to fall, Leonhardt’s hand pulled YuRia.

Then he grabbed her chin with both hands and lifted her up.

“Why do you keep looking elsewhere?”

Leonhard gave affectionate attention to Yuria, who was breathing heavily.

Then, as if telling her to come to her senses, she lightly bit Yuria’s cheek.

YuRia moaned softly at the stinging pain that ran through her skin.

Ironically, Yuria was able to breathe after that.

This has already happened several times.

It was insanely painful, but when I held him in his arms, my strength was relieved.

As if I was in that basement, I felt comfortable only in his arms.

he was deficient I always wanted to receive affection, but I didn’t know how to receive it.

But now he gives me affection without doing anything.

“Don’t think about it.”

A friendly voice rang beside my ear.

Only then did Yuria slowly realize.

There was no difference between outside and inside the basement.

No matter where he was, the only person he could rely on was Leonhardt.

Even wanting to go back to the basement, I just wanted to go to a place where there was someone who would protect me with Leonhardt’s warmth.

Because you don’t have to think about him anyway.

“yes.”

Leonhardt stroked Yuria’s head as if that answer was admirable.

Yuria happily accepted the touch.

It didn’t bother me anymore that someone was watching.

In fact, I didn’t know that Leonhardt was creating illusions and hiding them.

Leonhardt kissed her weakly parted lips and said.

“Can you see it over there?”

Yuria looked in the direction he pointed.

A strange magic circle was drawn.

On top of it, five red jewels were placed in a circle, shining with a strange red sheen that seemed to be made from hardened blood.

“Can you recognize those jewels? It took a long time because of that.”

“… I don’t know.”

YuRia shook her head slightly. It was as if there was a fog in my head.

It’s strange. I need to remember

YuRia’s eyes were fixed only on the person’s shape.

“It’s okay if you don’t know.”

YuRia felt Leonhard’s kind gaze resting on her side of her face.

“It’s okay.”

“… yes.”

You don’t have to know.

“That’s a rare bloodstone I’ve collected from all over the place. I was lucky to know where everyone was. Oh, did you know that ghost species have no form?”

“yes.”

“They are powerful, but they need to continuously suck life in order to stay alive. Among them, the most powerful is bloodstone made from hardened blood of countless lives. What do you think you will do with it?”

“Mo, I don’t know.”

Leonhardt gently rubbed the cheek of Yuria, whom he had bitten earlier.

“Bloodstone can forcibly attract ghost species with its powerful vitality. I will use that as a sacrifice to summon him. one of the disasters. All the people gathered here are our people who cooperate with this.”

Leonhart lightly calmed the shivering woman.

“Do not worry. There will be no harm.”

He grabbed her hair and kissed it lightly.

“If you are by my side.”

Leonhardt whispered affectionately to YuRia, who was visibly relieved.

YuRia nodded slightly. Anyway, I couldn’t fall for Leonhardt.

Still, it did take a little bit of something.

“Now, Chairman YuRia will carry out the strategy carefully prepared from now on.”

Turning his head, Leonhardt’s words resonated throughout the auditorium.

And Leonhardt removed his hand from Yuria’s shoulder.

With nothing to cling to, Yuria inhaled in fright and clung to Leonhardt’s arm.

“Nana… ”

Leonhardt laughed incredulously and lightly freed the arms trapped in her arms.

And instead, he held her hand tightly.

“Don’t worry. For now, all I have to do is stand tall.”

Yuria instinctively knew what he wanted from those words.

When she tried to imitate the same smile as before, Leonhard smiled kindly as well.

After lightly pressing YuRia’s shoulders, he led her to the front of the magic circle.
