Chapter 23

Richard also seemed to have become more gentle in accepting favors. But that wasn’t the reason she was looking at him. Even when we had a sumptuous meal or went for a walk together, her gaze never left him.

Eventually, Richard, unable to bear Eileen’s gaze while walking through the rose tunnel, stopped and asked.

“Eileen? Is there something on my lip?”

“No!”

Eileen, who had no idea that she was staring at him so persistently, said in surprise. The fresh scent of roses mixed with the wind that blew at that moment tickled the fairy’s cheeks. Richard, who was looking at her with strange eyes in confusion, removed the hair from her cheek and asked.

“Today, let’s continue what we did before.” You mean the thing we did before? I was so embarrassed that I was slow to understand the situation.

‘Ah, the human experience.’

It was a moment when Eileen belatedly understood the meaning. Richard has already proposed a new step.

“Today, Eileen will observe me. How about this?”

“Me?”

“Yes. To get closer to humans, It would be important to know about it.”

That was plausible. The density of observation Eileen, who had decided how well she knew about the subject, nodded. Then Richard untied the string around his neck. The large robe covered his shoulders. Because I was there. Without any doubt, It fell to the floor.

‘Why clothes… ‘

Even as she thought that, her eyes were already focused on Richard. It was her first time seeing him take off his robe. A thin shirt and gray pants covered his long limbs. Although he was still wearing his clothes, the wide clothes that covered his entire body disappeared, making his body lines stand out clearly. Eileen’s eyes were scanning that line. Richard pulled her hand and placed it on his chest. Eileen, surprised, opened her eyes wide. She unconsciously tried to withdraw her hand, but he was holding her down and she couldn’t move. Instead of being unable to remove her arm, she felt body heat under his palm.

‘It’s solid.’

Eileen was startled. Beneath the cloth, there are muscles thicker than what she can see.

Her knuckles twitched without even realizing it. Richard explained this unexpected situation to Eileen in a calm tone.

“I think visual observation is enough, so I think you need time to feel it through touch.”

“Ah… So… As expected, Richard, it is!”

Eileen nodded as if in agreement. Without knowing that the expression on her face was clearly visible as she tried to pretend not to be embarrassed. But it wasn’t that she didn’t like it. Rather, it is a good thing. However, it was her first time experiencing something like this, so she didn’t know what to do. But what does it mean to have good friends? Richard solved the problem easily.

“Would you like to touch it some more?”

Eileen swallowed dryly at those words.
