I slowly extended my hand and placed it on his black chest.
His body temperature slowly merged with mine.
I had to stay still like this for over an hour.
Physical contact was the most confirmed way to break the curse, so I decided to start with this.
Of course, it was better than sleeping together, but the problem was that an hour went by much slower than I thought.
Standing still, touching the sturdy chest of the man for an hour.
It sounds good. Idrysh was even exceptionally handsome. But that’s why it’s not easy.
The room was quiet, and the heartbeat was clearly felt in my palm.
Idrysh had always had the strange ability to tense up the person in front of him, and it was even more so now.
Now I couldn’t even tell if the pounding in my hand was mine or Idrysh’s. My mouth was dry, and my palms were clammy. Once, an hour had passed, and when I took my hand off his chest, Idrysh’s chest was tingling with my sweat.
Oh, how embarrassing it was.
The most embarrassing thing was Idrysh’s gaze on me all the time. It was so intense that it made me want to jump out of my skin, and standing in front of it felt like standing naked on a sunblazing beach, my whole body stinging.
The black mark on Idrysh’s chest throbbed violently.
“Um, Idrysh.”
Uh, our eyes met.
I turned my head out the window and stammered.
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Why do you ask that?”
Well, because it’s awkward! Just saying something to divert the attention focused on my hand. And originally, talking about food was the most effective way.
“Um, I want to know more about Idrysh? But I think I know even if you don’t answer. You like meat, right?”
All the food that came to Baekho’s mansion here was meat.
“Yes.”
Idrysh confessed obediently that he was carnivorous. Because he’s a tiger demihuman?
“Do tiger demihumans die if they eat grass?”
“Not at all. I just don’t enjoy it.”
“Um, just a picky eater then. I wondered who Rodrigo took after.”
Idrysh frowned in discomfort.
“I like meat too. But eating greasy meat every day makes me want to eat fresh grass. Or fruit would be good. Ah, when I was in the forest, I picked and ate fruit every day…….”
“There are grapevines in the back garden.”
“Really? Why are you telling me now!”
I placed both hands on Idrysh’s chest. It was a silent gesture to earnestly break the curse.
“Can I pick and eat those grapes?”
“Go ahead.”
“Yay!”
As soon as I left this room, I thought I had to go pick grapes. Do I need a basket and a knife then? I’ll have to prepare a hat because the sun is hot.
I’ll pick those glossy purple ripened grapes one by one and wash them in flowing water…….
“Don’t fiddle with your fingers.”
Idrysh’s words snapped me back to reality. I must have unconsciously moved my hand imagining eating grapes.
Then suddenly, I discovered that the black mark wasn’t moving as much as before.
Has the effect of my hand diminished?
I removed and attached my hand again to see, but still, it didn’t shrink as much as before.
What is it? What are you? Why are you moving fast and then slow? Hmm……. Is it the difference between concentrating and not?
I pondered and placed my hand back in its position. The movement was still slow.
I tried several times to find some regularity by removing and attaching my hand, but to no avail. Eventually, I gave up and decided to pass the time.
“But when did I become sure that I’m a demihuman?”
“The night we had intruders.”
He was talking about the day I first transformed into a human and saved the dying Idrysh.
You caught on fast. You’re such a sharp child…….
“Damn, I was definitely passed out then, when did you see it? Did you find out that I’m a hedgehog from the hair you saw then?”
“I can’t know what kind of demihuman you are just from your hair.”
“No……? Back then, it was definitely only the perfect red hair of a hedgehog…….”
“But there are Beastmen who artificially change their hair color. Sometimes red hair even appears among other Beastmen.”
“What? Then what are you talking about?”
Thinking hard about it, Idrish looked at me with strange eyes.
“But why do you ask such a thing? As if you know nothing about Beastmen.”
Well……. because I don’t know anything.
Since I had suddenly dropped into this world, it was natural that I knew little. From Idrish’s perspective, it must have seemed like a ridiculous question.
“Actually, I don’t know anything. When I woke up, it was a forest. I don’t remember anything before that.”
“You lost your memory?”
“Yes, I woke up just a short time before coming to this mansion. So even when I hid in this mansion, I really thought I was a hedgehog, you know? I didn’t try to hide it at all. It was only just before Idrish realized that I was a Beastman that I knew it myself.”
“A Beastman who doesn’t know that he’s a Beastman……. You’re like a fool, really.”
“No, I’m not!”
I slapped Idrish’s bare chest. Idrish quickly covered his chest where my handprint remained, looking embarrassed.
“Ar, are you crazy?”
