Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

It's late night and after hours of discussion with the Lady Carolina, master Maverick, Lord Justin and Lady Charlotte, we were finally back to my estate… not that it matters now.

It will be morning soon and it will be time for departure from this place so, we didn't have even a little time to have any good sleep.

"How I wish I didn't have given her the grape one. There were other options she would have liked as well."

We were on the rooftop, the best place to spend some good time and have a little chat over some warm refreshments on this chilly night.

"You had your reasons to do that. And the bote's under the water already. Nothing we can do about this now."

It was night and the moon was young, so she looked prettier than she does in the morning.

Especially her eyes… after that day with Wali and Albert, her eyes had started looking even prettier at night.

"Haaaa… how I wish you could have this good thing-"

"That Good thing of yours kills me, darling. Just like that shit fertiliser you have, as well as that damned flower you got in your room.

Those things are perhaps the only things in this whole damned world that could kill me by just existing around me."

"Well… I'm sorry."

There were things in this world that she adored like nothing else, weird looking animals, reptiles, and unsightly creatures were some of those things.

'People would wanna run to the other end of the world after coming across these creatures but if she ever came across those things, she would stay and watch them, perhaps try and befriend them if possible.'

She was weird sometimes, and sometimes, she was outrageous.

'But that was her cute side.'

But then there was her miserable side.

"Don't apologise, silly. It's not like you made those things to act as a poison against me like the actual things you made to act as a poison against me and other witches.

It's not your fault they just naturally happen to be a poison to me, to us."

This grape juice somehow didn't fit well with her.

She becomes nauseous, has a strange headache, and just after inhaling the scent of that thing for a longer period, she would have certain signs of fatigue.

It was a strange occurrence that happened only with certain things that did not have any kind of relationship with one another.

'The elements used to make those things also didn't have the same kind of effect with her either.'

Some certain things just didn't fit well with her, and yes we have already made a cure for that kind of thing and have protocols in place in case something out of our hands affects her.

'She didn't know in the past but there were a number of things that produced strange symptoms like these that practically had no effect on others.'

But that was how nature works perhaps.

"Anyway, let's talk about something fun instead of that shit juice of yours."

"Well certainly. What do you wanna talk about, dear pretty lady."

"I wanted to talk but you started this flirting, mister handsome. Don't yell at me now, alright?"

She was holding one of my hands while her other hand was on her chin, but after saying that, an evil smile appeared on her face and she started sliding her hands upward while… caressing my skin with her fingers.

"I wasn't going for this… but sure. Challenge accepted."

My one hand was also holding my hand while the other played on her palm.

"Oho?"

And now that she was playing this game, I had no reason not to play along.

"Oh… oh no, you bastard. Ahh… how the hell do you do this!"

There were techniques for many things. The perfect use of fingers, for an archer, was one of the most basic virtues.

'We had to have dexterous fingers, much like the blacksmiths and artists.'

And unlike the other professions, the archers, as the masters of strings, knew very well just how to apply proper pressure to delicate things like strings or skin that was covering the blood vessels and nerves.

Inducing pleasure with just one hand's fingers was no big deal-

"Ah~."

"Kek. You moaned. Hehehe."

She did that thing again… and I still don't understand why that hell does it it feel so damn weird!

"That doesn't count, alright? You didn't even- mmm~."

"Hehe, why are you holding back~? Let it out, hehe. Lemme hear that sweet, cute, Manly voice of yours~."

She had one trick. One.

'One!'

And it freakin works every damn time!

"Don't be too happy, Miss."

"Hmm? Ohh, no. No no no no! Agh~."

That was a good voice she made.

Not the funniest, not the hottest, not the prettiest, but a good one.

I like it.

And yes, we are still only playing with our fingers.

"You are a bastard, you know? This, that deal with Lakmer, it's all unnecessary.

You just want to do shit for fun even though it might come and bite you right in the ass."

"Not this one."

Yes I accept I do many things for fun, many things that could very well come and bite me back but, I don't do reckless things. Or the things that could affect those around me in any way.

"You do you mean- ahhh~."

"Hear me out, alright?"

Yes I know I do some things just for fun to see just what kind of effect it could produce on that scenario, or on that particular environment.

There are many things that I have just done without much thought with complete faith in my luck or fate, but, those things are never about anyone else but myself.

'I know what I have to do and when I have to do those things and what is for fun or what could end up causing more problems at a cost of some momentary fun.'

I don't go around doing senseless, unnecessary things like blasting mountains like she does— it's a different thing that mountain turned out to be a crystal mine, but it was a complete coincidence- but I know what I do.

And this time as well, I knew what I was doing when I made that deal with Lakmer and Lady Carolina.

"See, being a supplier and revealing all that information to specifically Lakmer does three things."

"Stop playing with my hand."

"Then the play wouldn't mean anything… and shut up. I told you to hear me out first, then I will listen to allllllll that you have to say. We have time."

"You are a fucking… hot bastard, you know?"

"Ouch!"

She could have said without biting my finger, but then it wouldn't have made as much impact… or made her look so adorable.

A little pain was more than bearable… there's hopefully not going to be plays like mom and dad between us, so this much is certainly enjoyable.

"Hehe."

"Shut up."

"Hehehehe."

"Rein."

"Ptfff."

"Do you want to listen or not?"

"No~!"

She was laughing, and she was only laughing so I thought she would just laugh and stop, but she didn't.

She jumped on me and then we fell to the floor.

"Why so suddenly?"

"That 'shut up' was hot. Hehe, it just made me tingle you know?"

Hands locked, bodies pressed against one another… our clothes were thick since we didn't change after coming back from the party, so they were a hindrance that she just got rid of with her Mana.

"Hehe, do you want to do something like your-"

"No."

"Like your mom and dad?"

"No. And no."

"But you were so aggressive just now~!"

How did telling her to shut up and listen to me turn into this? What the hell?

"Let's do the mild thing. I will tie your hands to the bed or wall if you want and then I'll taste your pretty body~. Or… oh! Do that to me instead!"

"…shut up."

For some reason, she was happy tonight. And for some reason, I found something perverse about her behaviour.

And for some other reason, I found this very interesting…

"You want to do those things?"

"It's not like we are going to fuck… we can do that if you want though, I'm ready anytime but, I know that's not possible since you are technically a minor from your own perspective.

So whatever. Let's just-"

"You're talking too much tonight, you know?"

She was on top of me, which changed in a blink of an eye.

"You should shut up now."

-Swish.

Along with our location.

"And don't utter anything other than those sweet voices."

It was night and it would soon be morning, and we aren't going to get good enough sleep tonight anyway, so it's just better to do this.

And become exhausted enough to get straight to bed as soon as we get back home.

There was a lot to talk about right now, a lot of things had already happened during this short trip of ours and we have seen things that were only painful.

The crying people, the curses, the children, the elders, and… the lovers who lost their partners… it was a sight that we were expecting already before coming here, but, it was still painful actually experiencing their loss, being around them.

Thinking about what would have happened if I were in their place.

What would I do if something happens to the ones around me.

'We were both afraid…'

But then things became cooler when the speech ended and everyone went back.

'The talk with the four of them at the end perhaps elevated the mood.'

Perhaps the reason he acted like that was also because of the things that happened in the morning…

"Mmmm~."

But, nothing really matters anymore.

We were going to do what we were supposed to do.

Going back and preparing to leave for school would be the first thing on that list, and then we will have to look for her parents.

The grand conference was also coming so the headmaster and vice headmaster would be teaching me personally after school hours, so we might get less time when we go back.

We both knew that…

"Keep… going, mmmm~."

So, perhaps, this was happening with that particular thought in her mind.

And, I certainly do not mind exploring new things.

'When it's her, I would never really hate even the absurd things.'

It's always fun when it's her.
