Running the Romance Fantasy with Baby’s Cash, Side Story (4)

Side Story 4

* * *

“Is this the dimensional traveler?”

“Hmm, nothing particularly special about her.”

“My youngest is far more special.”

Ixion, Ares, and Zeon each spoke with furrowed brows.

A woman sat before them with an awkward expression.

Regardless of her discomfort, the three men were not pleased.

‘Damn it, this could have been my chance to be a cool older brother to Cotton Ball!’

‘To have my little sister’s loveliness stolen.’

‘The youngest’s wall slam…….’

They couldn’t help but be displeased with the dimensional traveler Cidrian had discovered first.

Just then,

The door opened with a soft voice.

“Strange. There was definitely an unusual reaction right by the beach.”

“To think she’d appear in a completely unrelated desert. I was sure the dimensional traveler would be right by the beach.”

It was Duke Paeraton and Marquis Tarenka.

‘Wow…….’

The woman, upon seeing Duke Paeraton, momentarily forgot her awkwardness and exclaimed in admiration.

He was a handsome man exuding a different charm from the man she had seen in the desert earlier.

Like a wild beast that could never be tamed…….

‘Blood doesn’t lie, I guess.’

The woman glanced at the three young men before her.

She had felt a considerable shock when she first saw them as well.

‘Are these four…… siblings?’

Jet-black hair and ruby-like eyes.

Appearances that were similar yet possessed different charms.

A victory of superior genes that made one curious about their parents’ faces.

‘And is that their father?’

The woman’s gaze turned to Marquis Tarenka.

Indeed, he looked like a father who would have such outstanding sons.

She swore she had never seen such a handsome grandfather before.

‘Their appearances are almost identical, but slightly different from the sons. But their expressions and atmosphere are the same.’

The five handsome men stared intently at her with serious faces.

It was a little *b 부담스러운* [burdensome/overwhelming], but also brought a strangely fulfilling feeling from somewhere in her chest.

‘……It feels like they were all looking for me? They said I was special earlier, too.’

Come to think of it, the man who had saved her in the desert had said that as well.

“Found you.”

‘Am I such a special person that they would search for me like this? Well, I did travel through dimensions.’

Doki Doki [heart-pounding sound effect].

Her heart fluttered.

The fear from the desert had practically vanished the moment she saw that beautiful man.

‘By the way, where is the benefactor who saved me?’

The woman looked towards the doorway with expectant eyes.

In response, the door opened.

“Dad.”

But the person who entered was completely different from what she had expected.

‘Wow, she’s pretty!’

It was a girl who looked like she had jumped straight out of a manga [Japanese comic book].

‘Is her hair really pink? Amazing.’

While the woman glanced at Ruatisha, Duke Paeraton responded to his daughter’s call.

“Lulu.”

“How is she? Not dangerous at all, right?”

“Certainly. She doesn’t seem to have the ability to cause harm.”

“Then it’s okay for me to take a look?”

“Yes.”

The woman was shocked.

‘I thought he was the eldest, but he’s a dad?!’

Was it okay for a dad to be that sexy?!

She almost experienced cognitive dissonance, but she overcame it.

The soft girl seemed much easier to talk to than the handsome but scary men.

“Um, hello?”

It was the moment she greeted Ruatisha, who had approached.

“Hey, who do you think you are, speaking informally?”

“How dare you speak informally to my sister.”

“Ixion, Ares. Don’t threaten her. You’re scaring her.”

“I was just standing here.”

“Good job, Zeon.”

“Pet me.”

“…….”

Ruatisha sighed softly but ended up stroking Zeon’s head.

Ixion and Ares glared at Zeon with dissatisfied eyes but couldn’t bring themselves to step forward.

They were watching the youngest’s mood.

‘She’s like a princess.’

The woman thought as she watched them.

It was amazing how those beast-like men became *s 순한* [docile] with just one look from the princess.

No, to be exact, it was closer to pretending to be docile to receive affection rather than *깨갱* [yelping/whining like a defeated dog].

“Were you surprised? They’re not bad people. They’re just a little shy.”

Ruatisha said to the woman.

It was as if a *견주* [dog owner] was saying, ‘My dog doesn’t bite~.’

“First of all…… hello.”

“Ah, hello.”

The woman bowed her head at Ruatisha’s greeting.

She thought it was fortunate that they could communicate despite speaking different languages.

“I’m Ruatisha Paeraton.”

“Ah, I’m Chaeria. Please call me Cheri, *히힛!* [heehee! (onomatopoeia for giggling)]”

“Um, this is sudden, but I need to ask for confirmation. Where are you from, by any chance?”

“Pardon?”

“And how did you get here?”

* * *

Chaeria’s story went on for quite a while.

There were all sorts of details, but the core was one thing.

One day, she suddenly fell into a strange world.

‘So she really did travel through dimensions.’

I frowned.

She didn’t seem to be lying, nor did she seem to be hiding anything.

‘But why hasn’t the quest been completed?’

The quest completion condition was to find the dimensional traveler.

But no matter how long I waited, the quest completion notification didn’t appear.

Moreover.

-Ongoing Quest: 〈I Can’t Just Stand By!(1)〉

‘……Ongoing means I haven’t found the dimensional traveler yet.’

I don’t know what the problem is.

“Um, so, what’s going to happen to me?”

I sighed inwardly at Chaeria’s question.

‘That’s what I’m saying. I thought a follow-up quest would appear once I found the dimensional traveler.’

I had expected the ultimate goal would be to help her return to her original world.

But I haven’t even completed the first quest…….

‘I need to get cash quickly and read that 19+ novel [adult novel].’

I need to cover Sid well with that…… no, wait!

I’m just trying to help someone who’s suddenly fallen into a strange world and is feeling *불안해* [anxious/uneasy]!

‘She might even be from the same place as me.’

I don’t know yet what worldview…… no, what dimension’s Earth Chaeria is from.

“First of all, you must be surprised, so don’t worry about anything and get some rest. We’ll provide everything you need.”

“……Okay.”

Anyway, it was a great relief that we found Chaeria.

Otherwise, she would have been attacked by a monster as soon as she traveled through dimensions.

‘Helping people is a good thing.’

……Well, it would be even better if I could read that 19+ novel while I’m at it.

That’s definitely not why I’m being proactive.

Absolutely!

* * *

Cidrian looked at his lovely lover with a slightly sulky expression.

Ruatisha had been very busy these past few days.

Ruatisha originally had a lot of work to do.

But wasn’t her schedule cleared for this trip?

And yet.

‘Why is she spending all her remaining time on that woman?’

That woman whom I rescued from the desert for Ruatisha’s attention and quick return from the trip.

But Ruatisha’s attention was all directed towards that woman.

‘I shouldn’t have saved her if I had known it would be like this.’

As he stared intently, Ruatisha raised her head.

The moment her Paraiba-colored eyes turned to him, Cidrian felt as if a long-standing thirst was being quenched.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because I want to see you.”

“Okay, okay, then look as much as you want.”

Ruatisha said *새침하게* [in a slightly haughty/sulky manner] and turned her head back to the documents.

Unlike her blunt words, her cheeks and ears were faintly red.

He liked that Ruatisha was conscious of him.

But.

‘It’s not enough.’

He wanted to make those blue eyes contain only himself.

Right now, her faintly reddened cheeks should be completely flushed, and her face should be *어쩔 줄 몰라* [at a loss/flustered]—

“Do you understand? Easy men are not popular.”

“Your Highness is too easy with the *공녀* [duchess/princess]!! I’m surprised every time at how a person can become so easy!”

“You can’t be relieved just because you’re engaged. My *애인* [lover]’s cousin also recently broke off her engagement.”

“That’s right! You never know until you enter the wedding hall!”

Cidrian once again recalled Nemis and Baren’s teachings.

The two’s advice had played a big role(?) in seducing Ruatisha, so he couldn’t ignore it.

But how could he stand still in front of Ruatisha?

‘What does she eat to be so pretty?’

Her lowered long eyelashes created deep shadows under her eyes.

Her faintly flushed cheeks.

Her tightly closed lips as she concentrated.

The slender fingertips turning the documents.

‘……Why is she seducing me?’

Cidrian seriously thought about it.

(Of course, Ruatisha was just diligently looking at the data.)

‘I have to endure it.’

He had to endure it.

He had to endure it.

He had to—.

“Si, Sid?”

Ruatisha’s eyes, widened in surprise, captured Cidrian.

Cidrian pushed his face through the documents she was holding.

But Cidrian was not satisfied.

‘A little more.’

He wanted her to contain only himself a little more completely.

More fully, so that nothing else could enter.

“Ah…….”

Their lips met.

With a soft sound, Ruatisha’s cheeks turned bright red as their lips parted.

Cidrian couldn’t resist and kissed her again.

Their breaths intertwined, and the wet heat warmed their skin.

The documents scattered from Ruatisha’s hands.

It was a kiss that seemed to constantly demand.

Ruatisha’s eyelashes fluttered at the desire of her lover that she felt throughout her body.

“Give me a reward.”

Cidrian whispered while their lips were still touching.

A voice that had become dangerously low.

Each time he opened his mouth, his hot breath moistened Ruatisha’s lips.

“Reward?”

“Yeah, shouldn’t the master give a reward when the order is well obeyed?”

“Hmm.”

Ruatisha’s fingers, which had been caressing Cidrian’s cheeks, moved slowly.

They brushed against his firmly closed jawline, down his neck, and stopped for a moment at his collarbone.

Teasingly.

“What kind of reward should I give?”

*슥—* [onomatopoeia for a light brushing sound]

With a whisper, Ruatisha’s fingertips moved down below his collarbone.

Cidrian’s jaw tightened.

He felt a chill.

To think that her neat fingertips, which had been touching documents just a moment ago, were moving so thrillingly.

Cidrian was pushed back as Ruatisha’s fingers directed him.

As if those slender fingers belonged to an absolute being.

As a slave obeys the command of his supreme master.

As if his high status or position was nothing in front of Ruatisha.

Before he knew it, Cidrian was kneeling at Ruatisha’s feet.

Ruatisha looked down at him with a crooked smile.

An expression that could not usually be seen on Ruatisha’s face.

‘Ha.’

Cidrian felt his mouth go dry.

In Ruatisha’s flawlessly clear and *청명한* [clear/bright] eyes, the Paeraton’s desire for conquest and domination flickered.

Cidrian felt an unbearable feeling every time this happened.

A cruel woman who always throws away what she holds in her hand without regret.

He couldn’t bear that such a woman was giving him this look.

“Since His Highness the Crown Prince is begging for a reward, I have no choice.”

Ruatisha, who had murmured as if singing, lowered her head towards Cidrian.

Soft hair brushed against Cidrian’s neck.

Slender fingers lifted Cidrian’s chin.

Every sensation she gave was *황홀* [ecstatic/intoxicating].

It was when Cidrian was waiting for his reward quietly—hiding his *폭력적인 탐욕* [violent greed]—.

*벌컥!* [sound of a door being thrown open]

The door opened without a knock.

“Lulu!”

Chaeria, who had completely adapted to this place in a few days, stood in front of the wide-open door.

“What are you doing?”

Chaeria asked with an utterly innocent face.

* * *

‘Why is she coming in now.’

I looked at Chaeria with a sulky face.

‘Today of all days! Now of all times, I could have achieved the unfinished history(?)!!’

There was no need to receive the teachings of the 19+ female lead *언니* [older sister/mentor], huh?

I would have just become a beast and attacked Sid!!

“What’s wrong?”

I sighed deeply as I looked at Chaeria, who was tilting her head.

‘Sigh, it’s not her fault.’

She suddenly fell into a strange world, and there are only dark men around her, so how uncomfortable must she be.

It was natural for Chaeria to visit me often.

‘……But it seems like she always *끼어드는* [interrupts/interferes] when I’m alone with Sid.’

Well, when I’m not alone with Sid, I’m with my family.

I might be thinking that way because I don’t feel like I’m being *방해* [disturbed/interrupted].

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Just doing something. Sid! Why are you kneeling?”

Chaeria was startled and approached Sid, helping him up.

I, the cause of Sid kneeling, became embarrassed.

Even more so because Sid coldly brushed off Chaeria’s hand.

Chaeria, with an awkward expression, asked me.

“Did you two fight?”

“We didn’t fight but…….”

“Then why is Sid kneeling?”

“That’s…… it just happened?”

“So you did fight.”

I wanted to say no, but I had nothing to say.

‘How can I say I made him kneel because I was going to *덮칠* [pounce on/attack] him!’

No, what was I thinking just now?

Instead of *덮치는* [pouncing on] him normally(?), I made him kneel first.

‘It seems like I’ve developed a strange taste from Sid’s master *소리* [voice/address].’

Let’s be careful.

I’m not a pervert.

‘……But Sid, who was looking up at me while kneeling, was too *고자극* [stimulating/provocative]—no, it’s not!’

I’m not a pervert.

After repeating it strongly once more, I said to Chaeria.

“But Cheri, I told you not to call him Sid.”

“Ah, it just stuck to my mouth. Sorry. But why?”

“Huh?”

“Why can’t I call him Sid?”

“That’s because…….”

Because that’s a name I only want to call him.

It was too childish to answer that way.

Sid was looking at me with a *뿌듯한* [proud/satisfied] face, as if he was very happy.

He must be very pleased that I want to *독점* [monopolize/exclusively own] his name.

It was when I was looking for something to say.

“*아가씨* [Young Lady/My Lady].”

Azl, who had come at some point, called me from beyond the open door.

“Azl, what’s wrong?”

“The sea fairies have discovered something that I thought you might be interested in.”

At those words, I approached Azl.

Azl handed me a bundle.

I paused as I looked inside the bundle.

‘What is it? This is…….’

There was something very, very familiar yet unfamiliar to me.

‘A wallet and a cell phone?’

“It was found in the sea.”

“The sea?”

‘This is…… not Chaeria’s *물건* [belongings].’

I think I know why the quest wasn’t completed.

‘Could there be another dimensional traveler?’

Neither this cell phone nor this wallet were in Chaeria’s belongings when she came here.

More than anything, this wallet is…….

‘It’s for men.’

Even the ID inside.

It belonged to a man.
