Chapter 90: A While Ago, Kiven’s Story (1) * Not long after Soira left Koris Village.

Kiven was feeling something strange.

It feels like her chest is tight.

It feels like something hasn't been resolved...

It wasn't her first time experiencing it.

When she went to exorcise the goblins with Soira, she experienced a similar feeling when hit by a curse.

However, it was just a feeling and I didn't really feel uncomfortable like I did back then, so I had no place to complain.

He even went to the village councillor, but he was only told that he was faking it and was kicked out.

No, I heard one more word.

'I was teased and thought it was lovesick... '

The love triangle between three childhood friends, Runon, Kiven, and Sophie, was famous in the village.

It was a small town where everyone knew each other just across the bridge.

The people involved in the love triangle probably had a vague guess as well.

But in the end, it was Runon and Sophie that connected.

It was a day when Kiven was comforted or made fun of by the village people, knowingly or unknowingly.

It was in that context that the congressman made fun of me, asking if I was feeling stuffy due to lovesickness.

'Really?'

When I heard it, I thought it was just another joke, but when I thought about it calmly, it wasn't nonsense at all.

For some reason, I felt that frustrating feeling getting stronger whenever I saw Sophie.

The frustration in my heart grew.

It's frustrating, and I'm getting a little irritated.

Why only me. I also think so.

If this were to happen, I would rather have Sophie...

"Gasp!"

Kiven took a sharp breath.

Consciously inhale deeply and exhale slowly.

The fog that seemed to be hanging in his mind cleared little by little.

I could tolerate it as long as my chest was tight, but the symptoms seemed to get worse as time passed.

These days, like just now, my thoughts are constantly sinking to the floor, to the point where I'm afraid of myself. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I was afraid that someday it would take action.

It won't work. No.

Although her own love ended with her unrequited love, both Sophie and Runon are precious childhood friends.

Kiven felt ashamed of himself for having such dark feelings even though he couldn't support the two people.

'Today there is one extra lap.'

I feel bad because my body is weak.

As a punishment to himself, Kiven added one more lap around the village to today's training.

When you get tired from training and find it difficult to even stand up, the feeling of frustration has gone away.

Thanks to this, Kiven's training volume has increased significantly these days.

Today, I ran through the village following a pre-determined course.

Now it was a daily routine for Kiven and the villagers.

"Kiven! "Are you running late today?"

I even exchanged greetings with a local guy on his way home from work.

"Shouldn't we practice weapons and such instead of just running? Just grab a shiny sword and hit it! "I mean doing it."

I also received strange advice from the remote residents.

For your information, Kiven was already practicing his own spear skills. Fewer people know about it because it is less noticeable than running across the entire village.

"Oh my. What are you going to use that much stamina for? Ho Ho. "I'm jealous of the other person."

She was teased by an old lady who bordered on sexual harassment.

Of course, this lady was saying this because she knew that Kiven was essentially dumped by her Sophie.

She was truly evil.

"Whoa, whoa..." "

As I slowly catch my breath, a familiar building comes into view.

A seemingly ordinary, one-story house with an attic.

No, it wasn't just the appearance that was ordinary. In fact, if you ask to find a house with the same structure in this town, you will come across five or six more.

However, it was an extremely special house for Kiven.

This house was Sophie's house.

"... "

Kiven increased his speed without saying a word.

When I run in front of this house, my heart feels complicated.

A feeling of happiness, a sad feeling, but a happy feeling, and... Even the dark emotions getting stronger.

I don't know anything else, but the feeling of a pitch black fog rising in my chest was difficult to bear.

So, so that you can pass by quickly, you increase your speed by squeezing in the stamina you don't have.

Recently, I always passed by this house like this.

It was the same today.

That must have been the case.

– Pow!

If it weren't for the sudden explosion sound coming from inside the house.

"What are you talking about?"

My running steps stopped.

Kiven also knew that Sophie was studying alchemy these days.

As an inexperienced Sophie, there are many times when she makes mistakes.

Also, among alchemy ingredients, there are some that are dangerous if handled incorrectly.

But Kiven hesitated. Because she knew that whenever she saw Sophie, her frustration got worse.

The feeling that got worse day by day made me less able to trust myself.

I was worried that something was wrong with Sophie, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself to check for myself.

Couldn't you ask someone else to check?

I look around, but it's only at times like this that I don't see anyone.

"... !"

Kiven, who had been pondering until the end, saw black smoke flowing from the window and ran into Sophie's house.

She might have caught fire.

Maybe Sophie fainted at the sound of the initial explosion and couldn't put out the fire.

Sophie might die.

Kiven, whose thoughts had gone so far, stopped thinking about anything else and grabbed the doorknob of the house.

– Rattling, rattling!

Of course, there was a lock on the house.

– Thump thump thump!

"Sophie! Sophie! Can you hear me?!"

I knocked roughly on the door and called for Sophie, but there was no answer.

Black smoke was still coming out of the window. It was an emergency situation.

If Sophie is inside, her life is in danger, and even if she is not inside, if the house burns down, it will be a difficult experience.

Kiven made a firm decision.

– Boom! Bang!

– Wow...

When I knocked hard, the lock broke and the door opened.

It is a small village with no one to steal from in the first place. The pretentious level of locks could not withstand the strength of Kiven, who was undergoing intense training.

"Sophie! Answer me!"

Fortunately, there was almost no smoke visible inside the house.

This probably means that the situation has not become serious yet.

Kiven was relieved and headed to Sophie's room.

This is a house I visited several times when I was young.

When Sophie's breasts began to appear and Runon and Kiven's voices gradually deepened, the number of visits decreased drastically, but they still remembered the structure.

Sophie's room is visible. Smoke was slowly leaking out through the crack in the door, but the amount was not large.

"Sophie!"

Kiven burst through the door and saw Sophie.

There was a little smoke in the room, but other than that, there was nothing dangerous to see.

Sophie sat still in the chair. I think I was right in thinking that she fainted at the first explosion.

Black smoke was coming out of a glass bottle placed on the desk in front of Sophie.

The glass bottle containing an unknown liquid was half broken, and the liquid it contained had spread to every corner of the desk.

The explosion sound probably came from the liquid contained in this glass bottle. Did alchemy fail?

If so, it was fortunate. Kiven was unfamiliar with alchemy, but he thought that at least he would not teach a beginner to practice alchemy, which could be life-threatening if they make a mistake.

So, let alone smoke, broken glass is dangerous.

Kiven reached up to remove the glass bottle from his desk.

– Chi-ik...

"Wow!"

She immediately took his hand away when she heard the sound of something burning.

The wrist protector I used while exercising was melting.

It seems that while trying to remove the glass, he came into contact with the liquid contained in the glass bottle.

"What on earth did you make?"

A liquid that melts the wrist protector in an instant. I couldn't hear or see.

This time, I carefully removed the glass pieces so that they did not touch the liquid.

The liquid remaining in the unbroken bottle was stored separately.

I wanted to throw it away, but I didn't know what effect it would have if I just threw it away.

Now all we have to do is wake up Sophie, who seems to have fainted.

"Sophie. Sophie. Wake up... "

Kiven said that and looked at Sophie.

"... Ugh?!"

I was so shocked that I wondered if I had ever been this surprised recently.

I thought time had stopped.

I was so shocked.

Because.

This was because Sophie's small breasts were completely exposed.

"This, this. "What?"

Surely you were dressed well earlier?

If you look closely, you can see that other parts are properly dressed.

However, only the chest area was bare, exposing the inner skin.

As a hunter's daughter, her mind spins as she can't take her eyes off her healthy skin and dainty nipples.

When I looked closely at my chest, I realized that my clothes were not taken off.

Looking at the border, it almost looked like there was a hole in the clothes. It's just that the hole was so large and so many of them were joined together that it was hard to recognize it as a hole.

And there was also an idea as to why there might be holes in the clothes.

An unidentifiable liquid lying over there.

I melted the wrist guards, so there's no reason why I couldn't melt my clothes.

Only then did Kiven understand the situation and found the peace of mind to look elsewhere.

She never looked for holes elsewhere.

And I discovered one thing.

Sophie was opening her eyes.

"Cow, Sophie?! No, this is not what I meant to see... !"

I blurted out an excuse without thinking, but something was strange.

Sophie wasn't looking at Kiven. She was out of focus. No, she didn't seem to be looking at anything properly.

On the contrary, she kept muttering something from her mouth.

She was saying something that shouldn't have been added that time or that she would try adding something next time. I'm not sure, but it seemed like something related to alchemy.

"... Sophie?"

Kiven waved her hand in front of Sophie, but Sophie still didn't look at Kiven.

The same thing happened when I grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

– Sloshing.

Even if you hold on to your shoulders and shake them...

– Sloshing. Sloshing.

"... "

Shake.

Sloshing.

Shake.

Sloshing.

"... Oh?!"

Kiven came to his senses.

It wasn't my intention, but I was mesmerized by the way her breasts bounced every time I grabbed her shoulders and shook them. She thought that if Sophie were to be big or small, she would be closer to the small side, but she was kind of morphing.

Still, Sophie still didn't react to Kiven.

"... "

Kiven's gaze stayed on Sophie's chest.

Kiven didn't even notice that he no longer felt the tightness in his chest.

No, maybe she had already swelled to her limit and couldn't feel it anymore.
