BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - In Exchange
"Well, I doubt you still wouldn't kill me so I have one last piece of defense. I've already reported to an agency that once my safety is compromised, they must investigate a certain individual. You should know that, right? The Condigns, protecting the normal people from the Aberrants. Before I got this Spirit, I'm already half a step into the Spirit World, thanks to you, my guide dog. Who do you think is the name I said I have suspicion on? If I die, she's the first 'Aberrant' to be suspected. Can you protect her?"
Teren understood what Lina was saying. The SSDA can't touch him for now before the Spirit War. However, if he protected someone on the 'list' too, he will be under target again..
With the Condigns, along with the other Five Houses, and the Aberrants Teren was going to disturb, he was back again.
Teren was against the whole world again.
The reason why the SSDA was not touching him right now was that, it has been years since he was [Active]
He was off the priority list even though he's still at the top of most dangerous Aberrants. However, if he were to show up his face to protect Iesa, all of his past actions will come to light.
"Hmm? Why the hell are you smiling?"
Lina felt a little bit uncomfortable.
"No... it's just funny that you're threatening me using that. You're such an amateur, Lina."
"What?" Lina's eyes squinted.
"... okay, I will not kill you."
Teren said, making Lina more confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean what I said, I will not kill you."
"Ohh, so you're saying there's somebody else?"
"Don't play my game and just tell me the name."
"The answer from before is the answer now too."
"... Iesa Hun? What can that bitch do to me? I bet she doesn't even know that I know she's a psychic."
"Oh, you're underestimating her too much."
Teren just shook his head.
"Fine then. I'll kill her before she can do anything to me. How about it?"
"Okay, okay, sheesh, I know you'll kill me first whatever the consequences before I get to do anything to her."
"But, what can I do to stop you?"
"Oh...? So even you don't want that?"
"Why would I?"
Teren sighed.
"You shouldn't really be underestimating Iesa. I don't want you provoking her if possible."
"I don't understand... it's as if you're scared of her."
"What if I said yes?"
"Then you would be confusing the hell out of me."
"So what? It is yes? You, scared of her? In what sense?" Lina asked a lot of questions but none of them were answered, instead, Teren answered.
"It's complicated."
"... so you're saying, that my threat is actually working?"
"For me, yes, that's why I won't kill you. However, if you do anything to Iesa, you will regret it."
"This time... you're not the one who's going to make me regret it, is it?"
Teren stayed silent again.
"Hmm... I get it. I get that I won't be able to understand it. However, I just know that as long as I don't do anything to her, you'll do what I want?"
"... sure."
"I'm happy but quite frustrated at the same time. You're doing all of this for her... I don't want her to change you. I want you to stay the same and in that way, once you fall in love with me... it will be the best!"
"Is that what you want me to do?"
"No, I know that you're not in control of that either. Let's take baby steps not to provoke you that much too."
Lina smiled and said.
"Have sex with me at least once a day."
"Easy, right?"
"Wait, don't tell me... you're still a virgin?" Lina stood up in surprise.
"Is that surprising?"
"Seriously!? I thought you're raping women here and there while keeping some in your basement!"
Teren's jaw slightly dropped. He remembered how the others saw him like that too.
"Do I really look like the one who does that?"
"You're a fucking psychopath, who would believe that you don't?!"
"But... hm... this... this is..." Lina began to giggle, "This is great."
"No, I will not give it to you."
"Then, it's war then? You're a man, why would you care something about virginity? Just ripped my hymen once and we're good. I'm the one who's going to feel pain, the fuck are you hesitating?"
"I'm not some trash who would have sex before marriage."
"Huh!? Are you seriously saying that? Are you saying that you're that pure!? You're a fucking murderer!"
"Even so."
Teren was actually in a tight spot. He was keeping his distance from Iesa for a reason. So why would he let Lina fuck it all up while he was restraining himself? If Lina's just going to ruin everything, why doesn't he just kill her and take Iesa away? Afterwards, he would deal with Iesa herself once she remembers everything.
But... that's very idealistic.
To avoid all this, he just has to fuck Lina instead of her fucking the situation. But can he really do it? Lina's right, he's not that pure of a man, he's a murderer. Furthermore, it's not like he and Iesa are actually a couple.
The first option would accelerate everything, leading to the worst-case scenario. The second option, it's like he's going to throw away himself. It would also hurt Iesa too...
'Wait, this has nothing to do with Iesa anymore after she remembers everything... it's just about my personal feeling.'
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"Really!? You won't regret it!"
"But... why are you so keen on this? You said you want to conquer me. Are you thinking of using sex to do that?"
"Hmm, yeah, that's one of the reasons. Teren, you're seriously underestimating sex. Not that I myself have experience but I'm sure that once you've tasted it, you will come back to me. But of course, it's because I just want to bed you... ihh~ just thinking of us getting kinky gets me wet."
"What if, I'll just give you the opportunity? The true baby steps."
"You're such a virgin, Teren. But okay, sure, I'll accept it. Let's start with fellatio."
"Fellatio?"
"Y-you don't know that? This is a weird feeling. I feel like things are just getting better and better. You're innocent face as it plunges into pleasure... ah, giving me the shivers."
"It's a blowjob." Lina finally answered with a smile.
"Blow-?"
"You still don't know it?!"
"What, is this common knowledge?"
"Hmm, want me to show it to you now?"
