The D-Rank Guild Master of the No. 1 Guild

Gaiden Episode 10

* * *

I was the first to open my eyes in the morning light.

I didn't sleep long and felt like I was going to die of exhaustion, but when I remembered the time I left the room, I woke up anyway. His limbs ached, but he barely moved.

I removed her arms from top of me, and as I lifted her upper body from the sheets, I pulled my hair off her body.

"Erkata."

Even though I called out quietly, my closed eyelashes immediately trembled.

"Get up and get dressed."

"Mmmm, yes......."

I had turned my back on her as she stood up and dressed, in order to preserve what little dignity I had left.

I can't help but think that the person who woke me up first and told me to get dressed resolutely was actually in a reminiscence that I was embarrassed to put out anywhere.

I took a taxi back to work. I said very little, and neither did Erkata.

Instead, he didn't let go of his grip. I felt that I was sharing the afterglow through my hands.

"Can't we go for a walk and go back?"

Before returning to the game world, Acata stopped in front of the company. There was a beautiful well-landscaped park nearby.@@novelbin@@

Surrounded by trees and uninhabited, the erkata made me sit on a bench. In a cautious, classic posture, the ring was held out to me.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I wanted to make it myself."
