Chapter 142

 

At this rate, Mint’s Kia would flow over and seep into Helios’s body. That was all that needed to happen.

 

That was the moment.

 

Mint raised her head at the force pressing down on her shoulders.

 

Helios had shaken off her hands and grabbed both her shoulders, pressing down.

 

Helios’s eyes were wide open, and he was even resisting the Kia.

 

For Mint, this was surprising.

 

Though Helios had grown stronger, his power still hadn’t reached her prime.

 

Kia was no different from water, flowing from places of high density to low density.

 

Using that principle, he was barely enduring the Kia pouring down from above to below.

 

Mint couldn’t take her eyes off the veins bulging on his neck and forehead.

 

“I don’t want it.”

 

It was a firm voice.

 

“Why are you trying to give me this?”

 

It was a voice sharp as a blade.

 

Different from anger, it was a voice mixed with anger but containing something even greater.

 

“Don’t you… trust me?”

 

Helios felt anxiety from Mint’s actions.

 

He didn’t know what it stemmed from.

 

What was certain was that his instincts were screaming. A strange sensation that if he accepted this, Master would suddenly disappear somewhere far away.

 

Where are you going?

 

These were words he couldn’t voice aloud.

 

Of course, rationally he thought it wouldn’t be the case. Now he roughly knew Mint’s identity.

 

Someone who was a prisoner before becoming a guard.

 

And so incredibly strong that even the Top Floor Prisoners held her in awe.

 

A person with overwhelming power.

 

Yet for some reason, while trying to send him to the floor where she had been.

 

…She was someone who became endlessly soft toward him.

 

He now understood well the privilege given to him.

 

Master was weak when it came to him.

 

And he hoped she would continue to be weak.

 

He hoped she would stay by his side, even if it was out of pity and compassion, looking at him as if he were fragile and pitiful.

 

Even knowing that Master couldn’t feel the same compassion or pity as ordinary people.

 

“Are you doing this because you don’t trust me?”

 

He couldn’t understand Master’s intentions.

 

So he desperately refused to accept what she was trying to give him.

 

Now he knew Master.

 

“Answer me.”

 

When someone acts suspiciously, you shouldn’t just let it slide. You had to dig in persistently and find out.

 

What you’re thinking with that tiny head of yours.

 

Helios struggled desperately to resist accepting Mint’s kia.

 

“Master.”

 

His hand gently touched Mint’s cheek. It was a hand extended with great effort.

 

Only then did Mint’s face become clear, as if awakening from a dream.

 

“Wow… you’re really amazing, aren’t you?”

 

That was the first moment she had purely admired him as a person, setting aside their master-disciple relationship.

 

Until now, she had always viewed him within the framework of being her disciple without exception.

 

But now she was amazed by the willpower of the person called ‘Helios.’

 

‘This isn’t something you can just block by trying to block it.’

 

There are truly many surprising things when raising a disciple.

 

He would probably be her first and last disciple. This might also be the last time she’d be surprised.

 

Mint decided to accept what had happened before her eyes.

 

“Even if Master gives her blood and flesh to make you strong easily and comfortably, you’re probably the first one to refuse.”

 

“…First? I should be the last one too.”

 

“Oh my, now you’re getting bold.”

 

Even as Mint said this, she didn’t push away his hand that was cupping her cheek.

 

“Well, it’s nice.”

 

Instead, she slightly offered her cheek and leaned into it. Helios trembled slightly.

 

Because his strength weakened just a little, Mint’s kia seeped into him minutely. But that was all.

 

Helios put in more strength and endured.

 

“…I don’t need your blood or flesh. Just.”

 

All I want is for you to stay by my side.

 

How could he package these words prettily? The moment he said them, they had to be words that would surprise his master and make her hold onto him so she’d never leave again.

 

However, unfortunately, a man who had never been loved in his life couldn’t find the expression.

 

“Hmm, what to do. I’ve decided to give it to you?”

 

A leisurely voice. As always, Master wouldn’t cancel something she had decided.

 

She always had been that way.

 

The moment Helios felt he couldn’t stop her, he changed his approach.

 

Flexible thinking. This was also one of the things he had learned from his master.

 

“I’ll give you mine too, so please accept it.”

 

“What?”

 

It was something he said unconsciously.

 

But after saying it, he liked it. Master was determined to force it on him.

 

Then couldn’t he do the same?

 

“I can give too, can’t I?”

 

He would engrave himself into his master. Helios felt swamp-like emotions he hadn’t even known existed until now.

 

He felt possessiveness and desire.

 

“…”

 

Master looked at Helios with eyes that revealed nothing of her thoughts.

 

“Ah, shall we compromise with an exchange?”

 

For a moment, he saw something fiercely rippling within her pupils.

 

Now he roughly knew the name of that rippling thing.

 

You desire me too, don’t you?

 

Though different from ordinary people, she too had developed feelings for him.

 

You find me endearing.

 

Soon Master let out a soft laugh.

 

“Alright, shall we do that then?”

 

Helios’s eyes widened.

 

“I’m telling you in advance, I don’t know what side effects there might be.”

 

“I don’t care.”

 

He answered hastily before she even finished speaking.

 

Master smiled even more deeply at his polite tone.

 

After an enigmatic smile crossed her face, she leisurely tilted her head.

 

“Let’s see, this is my first time giving Kia, and also my first time exchanging it.”

 

Mint released Helios’s hand. She then reached out and grabbed Helios by the collar.

 

He felt the sensation of being pulled forward for the first time in a while.

 

“Shall we try through mucous membranes?”

 

Before he could comprehend what she meant, his mouth was blocked.

 

Helios, who had been struggling, quickly stopped resisting.

 

Though Mint had initiated it, their positions were soon reversed.

 

“Haah…”

 

“Yes, yes. Too much for you?”

 

Mint obediently yielded her body to the hands digging into her waist.

 

After some time had passed.

 

Helios was devouring her as if he would consume her entirely. In the midst of his frenzy, Helios felt dizzy.

 

It wasn’t just kissing.

 

When he came to his senses, he had his face buried in Mint’s neck. The skin touching his lips was sweet like sugar.

 

‘Ugh, what kind of power…’

 

Could this really be called an exchange?

 

Certainly Helios’s Unique Kia was also flowing to her.

 

But the amount flowing to him was much greater. It was frustrating.

 

When he gritted his teeth, more power tried to flow over, but Master simply smiled with their lips pressed together and reduced the amount flowing to him.

 

When he and she separated again, traces of their long kiss remained on each other.

 

“Well, I didn’t know my disciple was a biter too.”

 

Mint rubbed her neck.

 

There were marks on her neck that hadn’t been there moments before.

 

These were traces where Helios, unable to overcome the excitement from the power flowing into him, had bitten not only her lips but also her neck like a baby sucking on a pacifier.

 

Helios’s face turned bright red.

 

“…If you feel wronged, Master, you can hit me too. I won’t resist.”

 

“Hitting someone who doesn’t resist is violence.”

 

“…Then was everything Master hit me with before violence, all of it?”

 

“You resisted, didn’t you?”

 

What kind of conversation is this. Helios grumbled internally at the rambling dialogue.

 

Even so, he couldn’t take his eyes off the marks remaining on Master’s neck.

 

Honestly, it was satisfying.

 

‘Is this enough?’

 

Just as Mint was thinking this, the Kia between the two of them disappeared.

 

Around Mint’s neck and collarbone, a couple more marks had increased.

 

‘Really like a beast. A dog, or maybe a cat?’

 

The behavior was too dog-like to be a cat. But then again, the way he blushed and looked at her shyly seemed rather cat-like.

 

Mint slowly raised her hand.

 

“Huh.”

 

She clicked her tongue softly.

 

Transferring a Unique Kia was something she was doing for the first time too.

 

When Mama’s Kia had been transferred to her, it had strangely come in the form of some beast.

 

She seemed to recall hearing that long ago, the organization Mama had belonged to outside had this kind of animal in their emblem.

 

It seemed that when transferring Kia to someone, it took on the form most familiar to the person.

 

Just as when Mint transferred Kia to Helios, it went over in bullet form as she had envisioned.

 

In Mint’s hand was tied a blue string.
