The innkeeper, 89d265d54f who initially e655514a71 screamed when b1f8d5a702 Rio planted a017d72639 the lamppost 798375b34f in the bbc5ab9036 ground, later bcdf7c6898 admitted that 18640dc042 it grew 9a90d66cd9 on them. They even 4014453c51 decorated it a9631baa8b with flowers. But did they 293889696a ever consider how 2f7d61e797 I felt, having 736f7f8b30 to kiss under 978b0d23fe that flower-adorned, fake 8d1fedda46 lamp post every 7805415b87 night?35e96fbb5bc19db3

As soon as I 98d46a3058 agreed, Rio dashed toward 955b601336 the monsters. His ferocity ea14f870c0 was so 348a64ec94 intense that 01eb9662e5 the surrounding 640f8afbf8 Awakened, who 2ad4bc0c90 had been 049571a7dc hunting nearby, 91497c2093 backed away 41acf43942 in shock.e803f934ec639f85

To be 5de6d12a29 perceived as 4c63a03626 if one’s da83adec75 existence has 47481c4951 disappeared—what an 7c4336a1de impressive skill.

We’d kept Rio’s 5b28548ba5 magic stat at 20a4174813 20 since Wind d912c67fa8 Cutter and Sanctuary a0d93a9297 didn’t consume much 0a54306e21 MP. However, since d1a5fdb069 Hide consumed aad656f509 MP continuously ad1f4b0eb9 without cooldown, 882612c37a it was ff8bf8af36 better to 9177106cbb have a c5aa37342f higher maximum 3a9c0f2c19 MP.43aa4b114149edf4

What the… that startled me.95e8eadc43b87240

My body trembled, half-suspended 7a4ec5005d in the air as 0c0f2d2c44 Rio held me. Misinterpreting my 5d3ab3f82e reaction as 41c1df3609 fear, he 35c596483a tried to 221e4a1b88 soothe me d97d547d58 by pressing 36aec69abc his lips ee13ecd52a softly against e9dc4df433 the bite ebe20fd869 marks.f9b8b9195bc8667d

Just as I began b9e6a49e92 to calm down, Rio, ba5af2f4f9 still unable to contain 254952f319 his excitement, grabbed at e68c37db17 my pajama top. With barely any d5fe3750d1 force, one of de577c46c0 the buttons popped 457e5237e2 off, flying across 89d39be873 the room.27140a7380999a68

“Rio?”f2b7e6136d09e0b4

Rio, who 734e0dd8e9 had been 0bd7b17671 glued to 8b070f8493 me the bae5a58eef whole time, 8031b48597 abruptly pulled 7414f8812b away. After awkwardly 6a974f852f attempting to 77507989a5 rebutton the c745945707 torn pajamas, 70d81dc4c6 he stood c53579e548 up.68aa05e4ea3fc8c5

It was a 73e18a9bda surprising reaction, but 80c46ddbd2 not incomprehensible. Even though 46d5d0f4b0 he’d learned 009f41d1e0 a lot 573991738e from dramas 27d4e1f842 about relationships, 866cd6db0f they never 4ca83a6a5f explained the 3070b76e38 physical responses fcff4fabbb of excitement 99311e5609 or how 19b6f65060 to deal ddde51ead1 with them.7da257eeae11865b

This was probably his 62df00ba2f first time experiencing such 98d60b761d a situation, leaving him 143cfb9277 flustered—or maybe embarrassed because 741989f65d he didn’t know what 1cc9032928 to do next.f9e7519952dc0a8e

I stood up, 4835b95cbf intending to stop 9588992bf3 Rio as he def0538c39 made his way 395f4239a3 to the door 709ca7c0c0 and reassure him 642db0fc1f that everything was fd693c3337 fine. But then I saw 6f5dabe85f his face.147c8cc3ca348733

His expression abe9fa7a92 wasn’t one 508ba6788b of embarrassment. It was closer ced0eb46b4 to horror.b051046d33b0820d

Rushing to 92546d0e80 the window, 92a83972e4 I spotted d171d03d28 a small, f0a84cd81a round figure f2b421c80e darting through 3e98d5f4a5 the darkness. It was Rio, transformed fad13785ce back into his rodent c26aa561f3 form.80d310d247e86f9e

No. If that were the f846115106 case, he would’ve stopped f242df79c8 immediately, apologized, and maybe 76e3019ccd even sulked. But his reaction 3683374553 didn’t come when 3e1ec509e9 I said I c56bfaf8fb was hurt. It happened b904ac0147 when my 933b7445ee pajamas tore, c7691a97df and my b27808f8f3 chest was 5ad780fec0 exposed.89d8c962736b730b

After all 92d431d44a the times 266d138d61 he’d proclaimed b9db74a7e8 how much f3502731b9 he adored 810224d07e me, how 9205033803 deeply he 739254fc82 loved me, 6e514e5df0 he’d run 7d464f9e6e off at eefb826536 the sight 7b04a238ce of a 425bf1e0d3 bare chest? Kissing was fine, 839789ae4c but anything more d44f50e62f was a no-go? What was I now—just 28bd29720e a caretaker?
