This time, I couldn’t smile brightly.
“Yeah.”
I casually tore apart the thick threads of the gloves that Anrikki grandfather had torn.
“I wanted to do it too.”
As a long silence followed, I felt awkward for no reason and shrugged my shoulders.
“No, for some reason, I’m not flying well today.”
When I glanced up, Kirian was looking at me with unreadable eyes. But this time, instead of avoiding, I stared straight at him.
“You used to fly well every time we were together.”
I smiled softly.
“So, help me fly well this time too.”
Kirian’s eyes slowly melted, like snow accumulated in a long winter melting in spring.
“Yeah.”
Kirian, who stood up first, reached out to me. Without any suspicion, as soon as I held his hand, the surroundings blurred like wet watercolor.
When the shake of the surrounding scenery settled, we were somewhere else.
“Here, the sky will look even better.”
Opening my eyes, I found myself standing on a rock in the center of a large courtyard. Around me, wildflowers shook their heads, and the sound of crickets occasionally rang clear. The soft light of the full moon, unobscured by clouds, filled the courtyard.
As Kirian said, the night sky, full of stars, extended endlessly above my head. My chest swelled as if embracing the entire universe in one embrace.
“Wow…”
As I let out a small sigh, Kirian smirked.
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah, I really do.”
Kirian, with pretty narrowed eyes, pointed to the rustling sound I made in the grass.
“If you want to fly more, you can easily catch lizards here too.”
Kirian shook Anrikki’s threateningly growling grandfather as if he were still fierce.
“If you want to fly a less aggressive lizard, you can catch one now.”
I quickly nodded my head. I couldn’t give up here, considering all the trouble I had gone through to fly that grandfather.
“For now, Anri… Oops, well, let’s catch that lizard first.”
Kirian nodded his head obediently.
“Yeah.”
While Kirian opened Anrikki’s grandfather’s mouth, I chose the powder. After much contemplation, I finally asked Kirian.
“Do you have a preferred color?”
“Me?”
Kirian asked a little surprised.
“Yeah. You probably haven’t flown one all day.”
I extended the pocket full of powder.
“Since it’s a special favor for this time only, go ahead and pick one quickly.”
Kirian, who had been staring at me quietly, answered without looking down at the pocket.
“Yellow.”
“You decided without even looking.”
I grumbled, and Kirian, who was playfully smiling, said something incomprehensible.
“I decided after looking.”
As I poured yellow powder, Kirian held Anrikki’s grandfather tightly to prevent him from spitting it out.
“Cough. Can I fly that lizard?”
I pointed at Anrikki’s grandfather with fingers covered in thick leather gloves.
“I really want to defeat him.”
Kirian handed me a large lizard to catch easily. The lizard, which had been calm in Kirian’s hands, started wriggling like crazy as soon as it came into my hands.
It looked as if I was trying to grab a giant fish just caught with my bare hands. Rather than pulling its tail, it was best not to let it go.
At that moment, Kirian’s cautious voice reached my ears.
“I want to try too. Can we do it together?”
I was still wrestling with the grandfather, not paying attention.
“How?”
Then warmth touched my back, and Kirian gently wrapped his hands around mine. The wriggling lizard instantly calmed down.
“Like this.”
As Kirian whispered softly, the pleasant voice brushed against my ear.
And in the next moment, golden flames embroidered the night sky. The vivid tail of the flame, clearer than ever in the dark sky, lingered for a long time.
And longer than that, the warmth behind me enveloped me.
I absentmindedly followed the streaks of light brightening the night sky.
“It’s beautiful…”
A sigh-like whisper burst out involuntarily.
“Yeah, it’s beautiful.”
A simple answer came back.
“Right.”
As I smiled, turning around, I met Kirian’s eyes again.
“Beautiful.”
Kirian looked directly into my eyes while repeating those words rhythmically.
Enchanted by the jewel-like red glitter, I remained glued to the spot for a while.
“Shall we fly again?”
After Kirian whispered again, I could finally break free from the enchantment that captivated me. I nodded my head slowly.
“Yeah.”
Before I knew it, a small smile had formed on my lips.
“Let’s fly.”
After flying countless lizards, we finally emerged from the forest.
“That was fun.”
Shaking off the powder covering both hands, I almost bumped into someone while walking.
“Oh, Esmeralda.”
When I came to my senses, Esmeralda was standing in front of us.
“Are you flying lizards on your way?”
She asked with a slight smile, but for some reason, her large violet eyes seemed to tremble anxiously.
I wanted to say no because it bothered me, but traces of powder still remained all over my hands.
“Uh? Uh, yes.”
Unconsciously, I awkwardly laughed, tightly clutching both hands behind my back.
Esmeralda nodded briefly.
“Oh… I also wanted to try flying some, but…”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
