169 – Day and Night #10

Despite being a man, I wasn’t a hound.

However, my job Casanova was loudly shouting into my head. It was the moment to seize the opportunity!

Strangely, I felt that if I went through that small gap in Narmi’s currently weakened guard, I would be able to get what I wanted.

The tanned and blonde alter Theo, aka fųckboy Theo, was screaming hoŗny thoughts in my head.

━Do it! Fųck it! Do it now! Everything’s gonna be fine!

He was like some motivational coach.

━Take her to your room!

He continuously urged me to ‘do’ it, saying that everything would be okay. Perhaps it was the hormones pushing these lewd thoughts to get me to mate.

━Now is the time! Speak your mind!

He wanted to dive head first, no turning back. Did I have a side like this in me? Then, another person gradually materialized in my mind.

It was a strict-looking bespectacled Half-Fairy. It felt as though he was the manifestation of my ‘Trainer’ job. It was assistant instructor Theo.

Then, Instructor Theo shouted from within me.

━There’s no need to rush it. Let it boil overtime and then we strike at the opportune time.

Instructor Theo, on the other hand, was suggesting the complete opposite strategy of capturing Narmi. His philosophy was that I must hold down this desire and embody the virtue of perseverance.

It was a very reasonable course of action. From the perspective of the Level 9 Trainer, it might indeed be better to take a step back here instead of pushing forward with impatience.

Soon, however…

The instructor and fųckboy started arguing with each other. Whoever came out as the victor here would hold today’s decision-making power.

In the end, it was the instructor who won.

“Miss Narmi, then, we should head back for today.”

I think it was better to let things settle.

After all, back then, when I was too hasty to initiate intimacy with Mirna, it didn’t end so well. It was challenging to make amends, and things got pretty tough.

I believe that it was better to have relationships that originated from the heart’s sincerity rather than getting swept away by the atmosphere. It was emotionally and physically better that way.

Seureuk.

As I got up from my seat…

“Okay, it’s getting late. There’s still work tomorrow…!”

Narmi also got up from her seat with a rather cheerful feeling.

“Thank you for the flowers, Theo. I will seriously consider your words.”

“Thank you.”

It seemed like the day was going to end like this. But just as I was thinking that, Narmi suddenly staggered.

Wobble.

“Aaht…!”

She almost fell, but with the delicate reflexes of a Half-Fairy, I managed to grab her arm and provide support.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I must have drank too much.”

“It seems so.”

For a moment, I thought it was an act, but I could tell that Narmi was genuinely drunk.

Mirna would usually drink very low-alcohol, sweet wine. It was no different than grape juice. With her, it was not so much about getting drunk, but rather savoring the taste and smell.

However, she had downed several glasses of beer, which adventurers and laborers drink to get drunk. So, it was only natural that she would get wasted like this.

“Narmi-nim, can you walk?”

“No, I thought I could walk. But I can’t….”

Would I be able to support Narmi and bring her to the carriage? No, that might be too difficult. People were also watching.

Which left me with no choice but this.

“Then, would you like to take a break? This is a tavern inn, so they have rooms for rent.”

Let’s take a rest at the inn. I never thought I would utter such a cliché line.

It sounded blatantly scripted.

I was worried that she might misunderstand it as part of a plot or a cheesy seduction and felt my self-esteem decreasing. So, to better explain myself, I added a few more words.

“Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any other intentions. I really meant just taking a break.”

“Puhuhu, what are you talking about? So Theo also gets flustered.”

Narmi teasingly chuckled, then nodded.

“Okay, let’s take a short break.”

‘That’s good.’

I rented the cleanest room. After receiving the key and diligently climbing the stairs, I opened the door to reveal a room that was neatly organized for an inn.

There was only one bed, so I went back to the lobby but the innkeeper said ━ This was the only room left.

“Let’s take a rest here for now. You can sleep if you want. We can get the carriage back to Ark later-.”

Pulsok.

Narmi slumped down on the bed like dead weight. I supposed her drunken self was fine with anything as long as she could lay down.

The room itself was nice and clean. The bed had freshly laundered sheets and blankets with a pleasant scent. On the desk, there was paper, ink, and even candles ready.

Did nobles and the rich stay here occassionally?

Either way, it was the perfect place for Narmi, a noble, to rest.
