Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 624 Night Continues…

?

[OP: ]

-Dhumb. Tuck!

Soun of a heavy thing crashing to the ground reverberated through the personal dorm room of the Lavaethan dormitory in the dark of the night and right after that, followed the sound of a a glass shattering.

-Crrrreeeeek!

"Umhhh. Not here-"

"Too late."

The desk table with the small but attractive painting that looked pretty costly was now destroyed however, the two current owners of this place did not care about it.

"Sorry."

"D-don't be… ughh! Oyy!"

"You said don't be sorry, haha."

"I didn't mean it for the bite."

"Just quiet down."

"N-no… oyyy!"

-Crrrrrrreeeeek!

In the dark of the night in a dimly lit room harmonized in perfect symphony, the two enjoyed themselves, away from the eyes of the world, away from the eyes of the society, away from the eyes of any interference… they enjoyed themselves, enjoyed each other, and bathed in their partner's scents.

"You wanted this."

"Ughhh."

"You wanted us to not sleep tonight, remember?"

"I-I didn't-"

He caressed her neck with his left hand, his fingers sliding down from her perfect neck shining under the moonlight directly gracing them from the window right in front of them.

The moon wasn't envious tonight. He was happy. Thus, the serene moonlight gracing the two of them as they continued enjoying the taste of their partner was cooler than usual, but still full of its usual warmth.

There was a unique scent of love in the air, and some familiar sounds of happiness and pleasure as well. There were some broken pieces of glass scattered around the floor however, that meant nothing to them in this moment.

"You wanted this. You can have-"

"That's enough."

-Dhum!

"That much should be enough of revenge for the thing I did earlier in the garden, right? Now it's my-"

"Yeah, sure."

"W-… mhmm!"

With their eyes shining with a light of affection, their hair wet from the warmth of the moment, their bodies shaking with the pleasure of the touch of their partners, they continued on, taking turns, overtaking the other, leading the other with a force of technique, or, sometimes, with mere words.

"You are beautiful, you know?"

"Of course I know."

"Ahhh, hey. Too up. Go down."

"Here?"

"Y-yes…"

"Hmmmm~."

"Mmmmm~. You are beautiful, a little too much, I love that, deeply even. But, the fact that you are too beautiful attracts too many-"

"You talk too much."

"Oye… ahem! That's bad!"

"Hehe, just enjoy."

The bed was right there in the middle of the room a little at the back but, it didn't seem like they were in the mood to use it tonight. 

They had had a long day, one that was far, far longer than just their usual twenty-four hours. 

He had experienced a strange white species where the concept of time was unknown while she had experienced a presence so great that when standing before it, the concept of anything other than power difference stopped mattering.

It had been a long day. Many things had happened. They had been through a great lot and since they had been with many people in the presence of so many people they couldn't possibly do much even if they wanted to. It had been painful holding back when so much was happening all at once and, to make things even worse, they ended up doing a few things for very belief moments.

They stole some time for themselves even amidst the chaos and all the things that were going on however, that turned out to be even more difficult since their hearts and lips wanted more of the other.

They wanted more, a lot, all of it if they could, however, perhaps it was their own values, or perhaps it was because of the academy rules and regulations that they were bound with, but they couldn't be too immoral when there was such an event going on.

"Ummm~."

It wasn't about their own images or anything like that, however, simply because of the high values that were part of who they were.

Nature and nurture. 

A debate that is eternal and too philosophical to limit to a certain field could be applied here as well to understand the reason behind their self-limitations and obsession with boundaries and controls.

"Hehehehehe~! Yes~!"

Both of them were of unique and noble lineage and from some of the most dominant families in this entire world. 

Their backgrounds were grounds for their superior nurture… or one might at least think of it like that if they knew about them, however, that wasn't the right way to evaluate the nurture side of the two of them.

Yes, it was a fact that both of them were naturally unique beings that could not be put into the same categories as the normal humans or in fact the geniuses that the world recognized. They were special naturally. That much was a clear fact.

However, one was a reincarnation who had not lived a happy life while the other was a miserable one who had lived a happy life at the start before there was nothing for her to be happy about anymore.

He didn't have a family there but he had one here, but that too was taken away from him because of a certain demon.

He lived in a forest where death was everywhere. He survived hell and lived with the fear of death lurking on his head for several years before meeting his master and salvation right after a near-death experience at the hands of yet another demonic creature.

He had been through hell and that experiences of hell made him what he was… as well as all the nurturing his master did to help him get out of that forest and return back to his family.

He was alone at first, then he met someone, but that someone said their goodbyes to him as well, leaving him with a duty, and the last memories of happiness.

That was how he transformed from a young child who only wanted to become a magic archer to the successor of a high pheonix who not only possessed knowledge of diverse fields but was one of the best magic archers this world possessed at the moment.

His noble family and background certainly contributed to all the values he had in him but his experience in that forbidden forest, the life he had lived in his previous life, as well as what he learned from his master in that tower, were the main reasons behind his high moral values.

On the other hand, after losing her everything and leaving the life of luxury behind, she went on to the battlefield and became familiar with death, discard, and darkness from a very young age…

She was an anomaly that perceived time a little too well. And that very thing that she was born with, became the cause of many hardships that followed her later in her life.

"Umhhm~. Kya~! Hehehe!"

"Oy, no, stop this. Uriel!"

"Heheheh. Kyahahah~!"

She lived in darkness, despair, loneliness, feeling what others couldn't even fathom, going through things that were the results of her choices, perhaps, but were too negative to be a fair equivalent of all the positives she had put into the world.

She received countless things that she did not deserve. Ill words, punishments, beatings, curses, hate, neglect, betrayal, and all kinds of negative things had happily befriended her.

What she endured was not something anyone else could… perhaps if it had continued just like that, even she might have crumbled down and gone down a path that she knew she would regret gravely.

But, she found asylum in the house she had left a long time ago. People who understood her, shared her pain and wounds, and helped her heal from the state that was too broken to be fixed. 

And then, by the mistake of her fate, she met the one who helped her like none were able to until now…

"I love you, my pretty darling witch."

"But not more than I do, right? My dear dumb hot husband?"

"Well… that's arguable- ouch! Not again…"

"Kehehehe. Then let's argue over it~!"

"You dummy… umha."

"Hehehe~!"

He healed her completely, made her stronger than she ever was, returned the person she cherished the most back to her, helped her take her patty revenge, and then… if that wasn't enough, he showed her a world she had never known existed. He shared with her things that were unprecedented in this world. He embraced her warmly and took her away from the darkness that was chasing her lustfully.

He became her light that warded off the darkness, and she became the shade that embraced him in the scorching heat.

They weren't made for each other, perhaps, but they made each other what they were right now.

So, even though she wanted more, even though she could ignore her own morals if it was with him, even if she could forget the world and their eyes and whatnot to have even more of him, she waited.

She waited until the time came, and, she will continue to wait until the time to take things further comes. 

She didn't mind waiting for long since what she was already receiving, what he was giving her while maintaining his limitations, was already more than what her whole being actually needed. 

He gave her the world and what even the world could not contain. And, she received it all, and expended her vessel to receive even more, greedily, but he didn't mind.

If he could, he would also cross the line and give her the sky and stars, but, he would betray his own self by doing that. 

And, she would like that.

She would rather wait than push him to that point, he knew that, so, he too, managed with what they could, with these small kisses, with these kisses that lasted comically longer, with these picks on her bare skin that sent shivers down her spine, with his gentle touch all over her body, and with his fingers that roamed the land of her body like a wanderer of several worlds.

She loved it. 

She loved all of it.

And he loved her love. 

"A-alright… haaaa… haaa… let's show, change, and get going. They must be dying of boredom by now."

"Five more minutes… haaa… please?"

"Was also going to ask for seven but… haaaa… let's manage with six more minutes."

On the floor beside their bed, they looked at each other, with a smile of love and excitement.

They had somewhere to go, but, before that, as the last time… she rolled on top of him, he got up, with her wrapped around him, and continued with their lips combined with one another.
