Chapter 109
Fortunately, the magic circle was completed just before my legs gave out, and the completed magic circle seeped into the area around Enoch’s shoulder.
I sat down on the spot, watching the torn and gaping wound gradually heal.
“Margaret!”
Both men caught me at the same time.
“I’m fine. I’m just a bit tired. I’ll be okay if I rest.”
I leaned my back against the wooden post and sat on the floor, letting out a sigh.
After meeting Enoch and Kaiden, as my tension eased, all the fatigue that had been building up layer by layer came rushing at me all at once. Moreover, since I had used mana as well, the aftereffects seemed even more severe.
I sat there with a tired face, then looked down at my completely healed, smooth stomach. The rib area that I had thought was cracked before didn’t even hurt anymore.
“This island seems to have strangely fast recovery.”
Saying that, I covered my mouth and yawned. Somehow, drowsiness seemed to be washing over me.
Enoch looked at me while putting on his tattered shirt, and Kaiden, who had sat down next to me again, nodded.
“Well, hair and beard don’t grow either. Seeing that we can’t use mana, it seems like a completely different dimension.”
It’s true that we’re in a different dimension.
‘I feel a bit dizzy.’
I suddenly felt dizzy and pressed my forehead.
Enoch and Kaiden looked at me simultaneously. As if they had been carefully watching my every move.
“Are you okay?”
Kaiden asked me. Did he ask if I was okay? I looked up at him blankly.
Come to think of it, how long has it been since we came to this island?
It feels like four months have already passed, but when will we be able to escape?
The bag containing the wooden board where I used to mark the dates was carried by Kaiden, but did we lose it?
Sigh.
Somehow, I feel like my body is heating up.
Well, since coming to this island, I’ve endured all kinds of hardships alone, but except for when Diego stole my dress, I haven’t been seriously ill.
‘That was actually the strange thing.’
“Margaret.”
Enoch’s large hand carefully lifted my chin. His golden eyes came into view.
“You don’t look well.”
Enoch examined my complexion, scrutinizing my face thoroughly. Kaiden also placed the back of his hand on my forehead and said,
“You seem to have a fever? Your forehead is like a fireball. It’s quite serious.”
If he says it’s quite serious, then my condition must really be bad. I blinked slowly and leaned languidly against the wooden post.
“I’m fine. I’ll be okay if I sleep a little.”
“Are you sure you’re not injured somewhere else? Like, poisoned or something.”
Kaiden fussed over me while examining my body. I felt weary and slowly blinked my eyes while shaking my head.
“It’s nothing like that. I’m fine.”
I wonder if Enoch thinks it’s because I healed him again and is blaming himself. It just seems like I really have body aches.
My eyelids went down heavily as if weighted down with heavy weights. I couldn’t muster any strength.
“I’m fine… Just… I think it’s body aches…”
“Margaret?!”
With Kaiden’s urgent call as the last thing I heard, I lost consciousness like that.
* * *
I vaguely regained consciousness.
My body felt chillingly cold and the coldness was circulating through me to an unbearable degree. It felt as if I had been thrown naked into a snowfield in the middle of winter.
No matter how severe the daily temperature difference was, I shouldn’t be able to feel this level of coldness in a tropical climate.
“Margaret, are you awake? Are you okay?”
“Damn, her body is still cold. Can’t we use any more mana?”
“If we use mana here too, Margaret might become truly dangerous.”
The urgent conversation between Kaiden and Enoch came and went back and forth. I felt thick arms wrapping around me from front and back at my shoulders and waist.
I struggled to lift my trembling eyelids. In my gradually clearing vision, I could see Enoch’s face.
My lips were trembling from the cold. Because of that, as my body shook together, the arm wrapped around my waist tightened even more.
“Margaret, are you still cold?”
Kaiden’s urgent voice came from behind my back.
“Are you conscious?”
From the front, Enoch asked me in an anxious voice.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
Even though I had opened my eyes, I couldn’t easily grasp the situation.
Right in front of me, Enoch was bare-chested with his arm around my shoulder, and behind me, Kaiden seemed to be hugging my waist. I could feel the touch of bare skin from behind as well.
But my bewilderment lasted only for a moment. My head was too dizzy and I was too cold to bear it.
“Cold…”
Now even my mouth seemed frozen, just trembling without any words coming out.
As I shivered and curled up my body, the two men pressed their bodies even closer to me. Dense skin contact filled every empty space.
The two men had taken off their tops and were hugging me from front and back, maintaining body temperature.
“Eun-ji, we need to make the fire bigger?”
At Kaiden’s voice, I struggled to lift my head. Then I could see Eun-ji diligently breathing fire onto the firewood beside us.
At Kaiden’s words, Eun-ji stopped breathing fire and bounced around in place with an annoyed face, as if asking why he was saying that when she was working so hard.
Then when our eyes met, she restlessly spun around in circles before diligently lighting the firewood again.
“Doesn’t Margaret’s body seem to have gotten colder? At this rate…”
“Don’t say ominous things.”
“Damn it.”
Kaiden finally let out a curse.
I leaned my cheek against Enoch’s warm chest. Kaiden, who was hugging me from behind, buried his face in my shoulder and pressed his moist lips against it.
I could only feel the warmth of his breath touching my shoulder, but couldn’t deeply appreciate the sensation of his bothersome lips.
Fortunately, both men had quite a bit of body heat, and thanks to that, the cold seemed to feel less severe than before.
‘But… such an embarrassing position.’
I felt like hiding in a mouse hole if there was one. But it was definitely effective in raising my body temperature.
It was obvious who had suggested this method without even looking, but it was somewhat surprising that Enoch had agreed to it.
I struggled to pull myself together. I had to say something. I gritted my teeth and forced strength into my trembling lips.
“What is this…, ahem.”
Just as I opened my mouth, a ridiculously hoarse voice came out, so I briefly closed my mouth and cleared my throat. How embarrassing in this atmosphere.
“Margaret? Are you okay?”
“How is your body feeling?”
Kaiden and Enoch simultaneously sat up and took turns examining my face as they asked. As soon as they moved away from me, a chill rushed in instantly.
“Margaret.”
Enoch called my name once more in a gentle voice, and I grabbed his arm while trembling. He looked down at me with a puzzled expression.
‘What should I do? Should I say it even though it’s embarrassing, or not?’
While agonizing dozens of times, I felt a bone-chilling cold from the wind that blew and let out a silent scream.
I hastily threw on Enoch’s jacket and Kaiden’s robe, but this alone wasn’t enough.
“Ah, could you please do what you were doing earlier?”
“What?”
At my words, Enoch and Kaiden looked down at me with puzzled expressions.
I hunched my body and frowned while shivering from the cold. Damn, why can’t they understand?
“Since I’m cold, please hold me.”
I spoke more clearly than before.
With those words, silence flowed for a brief moment.
‘If shame could kill, I would be dead right now.’
Self-loathing began to wash over me with the continuing silence.
‘I shouldn’t have said anything, damn it.’
Then, breaking the silence, Kaiden let out an exclamation and turned my body to lie down.
“Wow, Margaret. Can’t you tell me while looking at me?”
“…It doesn’t seem like I heard wrong.”
Then I heard Enoch’s sigh as well.
They seemed unable to escape from the lingering effects of what I had said, but I wasn’t in the right mind to care about such things. So I eventually swallowed my tears and shouted.
“Oh come on! Just hold me! I’m cold!”
At that shout filled with irritation, both men looked surprised. Then Kaiden burst into loud laughter.
My vision was already a festival of skin tones, so I didn’t know where to look, and they kept hesitating.
I turned my head with a tearful expression. Still, as I spoke, my mind was gradually becoming clearer. Though I was still cold.
We still seemed to be inside the barrier. We were lying on the dirt ground with large tree leaves spread as blankets, and the sleeping area wasn’t very good anyway.
Enoch lay down in front of me again, put his arm around my shoulder, and patted the back of my head. I leaned my cheek against his bare chest and tried to soothe my embarrassed feelings. Somehow I felt heated in a different way.
Then Kaiden embraced me from behind and rubbed his face against my shoulder like a cat while laughing.
“Ah, this is so good. Margaret asked to be held.”
“Don’t fondle her too much in case Margaret feels uncomfortable.”
Enoch immediately stepped in to restrain him. Somehow each sentence carried weight and sounded menacing. It felt like suppressed anger had briefly leaked out.
I could hear Kaiden grumbling from behind that Enoch was keeping him in check.
I suspected they had been bickering like this the entire time I was unconscious. Was this also why both of them were embracing me and sharing body heat?
Enoch paid no attention and gently patted the back of my head.
‘What am I doing getting into a battle of nerves over something like this.’
Anyway, it’s warm so that’s fine. Thanks to that, I survived another day.
