He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 22

When she watched Carlos in another world, reading the novel, she felt that he was the most selfish male protagonist.

Why isn’t it mentioned at the beginning of the novel?

The fifth day of the delegation’s visit because they don’t want to let their beloved Elchevita go.

Carlos had repeatedly reversed the time he spent with her.

The humble love that was once claimed.

It was only after she heard Carlos’ secret in person that she understood everything.

He was definitely not a selfish person.

In her perspective, she wanted to say the opposite.

Who in the world is committed to protecting others and not for themselves?

It really doesn’t make sense, doesn’t make sense…

“No way.”

She suddenly muttered like that and stepped back.

She couldn’t understand the situation in front of her.

An abandoned building that collapsed in combination with the explosion. Team members hurriedly put up a protective shield and rescued the victims.

Finally, Carlos rushed in, hugged her so much that she couldn’t breathe, and created a protected field for them.

Carlos, who had my eyes on him, was the only one who chose to do an unusual act.

He was busy looking down at her seriously pale face.

The pouring tenacity was burdensome, so she tried to get out of it, but to no avail, it was useless.

Her arms, back, and shoulders were already in contact with him.

“… Ms. Lutiens.”

She chopped her dry lips. It was a voice that made her cry.

“I only thought it was wrong.”

“I saw the pillars collapsing but the distance was too far. I was afraid I’d never reach you, I was that afraid I’d be late …”

Her eyes, facing him stiffly, blinked unnaturally at him.

She just stood around as if her mind had turned white at this moment. Was it because of that?

The subject of action between the two was naturally changed because of Carlos.

He gently buried his face over her shoulder.

After a while, the smell of fishy blood hit the tip of her nose.

“Team leader, blood…”

“I’m fine.”

“What?”

Once again, she tried to push him away, but he didn’t budge.

The more strength she put in her hand, the greater the depth of the hug that penetrated into her arms.

Soon he murmured helplessly.

“Now that I’ve confirmed that you’re fine. I’m feeling better too.

‘… Yes?’

She couldn’t figure out what to reply as if all the words had shrunk and she bit her lips.

What she just heard was the best random answer she had ever heard.

What could be better than that?

“No, I don’t think you’re okay at all…”

She left behind the tears in her eyes for a moment and looked at Carlos’s condition.

As she widened the distance as much as she could, her body, which was narrowing the gap between him and her, moved away.

Perhaps that’s why things she didn’t see began to be grasped at a glance.

From some point on, her bangs were split in cold sweat.

Blurry eyes as if to lose consciousness.

Not just dry, but even his white lips cracked.

Her mouth opened without realizing it.

The symptoms seemed more serious than she thought, so she shook her shoulders unconsciously.

Sho, shouldn’t we call a therapist? This isn’t serious, is it?

“This is crazy. How much power did you use?”

He wrote that he was saving me, and the dehydration he showed was severe.

This was a problem that had to be viewed more broadly.

For example, it is like a ‘penalty’ that each competent person has experienced at least once.

Penalty.

Those capable people who have higher grades, would be greatly penalized for using a bigger amount of power, and in simpler words, its criterion was the ‘energy’ inherent in the body.

The party who was limited in ability as much as they used strong power could not avoid the aftereffects corresponding.

The healing system was at least less, but it was a symptom that often occurred for attack system capabilities.

With a small sigh, she held Carlos’ shoulder lightly and said.

“Be honest.”

“….”

“Who else did you save besides me?”

The hug was released and the neck that lost the support was shaken.

Still, Carlos and she were able to look at each other.

He struggled to open his mouth.

The voice was mixed up with the sound of iron, and it was full of pain as if squeezing it out from the inside.

Of course, what she said was more spectacular.

“With Ms. Lutiens…”

“Yes, with me.”

“Our team members, the people here, the buildings…”

“What?”

“…I just put the protective shield on the entire estate… Ugh.”

Oh my god.

She thought she heard it wrong for a moment.

Following the unexpected shock she just heard, her head went blank.

It was also at the same time that the wide opened eyes turned round as if they were going to pop out.

‘Carlos, this idiot saved everyone!’

Of course, everyone here, regardless of age or gender, including her in front of him. Even the useless buildings which do not have lives.

‘This, this… my, my… what a crazy person! No matter how much he reached S grade, it was the first time in his life that he created a wide range of protective shields that covered the whole land!’

She quietly pulled away from Carlos and touched her forehead.

“I dare to guarantee that there will be no one in the world like a pushover like the team leader.”

“Yes… I was trying to save you…”

“Look, I’m already out of my mind. How can you be responsible for your team members if you’re so goofy?”

She clicked her tongue for a short time.

When he put down his hand that held her shoulder, Carlos’ body naturally came into her arms.

The fever felt so high.

Everywhere he touched his skin, his whole body tingled as if on fire.

Even if others feel it, it is this much. Would the person who poured out their enormous abilities, be terrified?

“Anyway, silly.”

“…”

Fool. Dummy. Jerk. Goofy. Stuffy hair.

Even if he felt like a chimney, he swallowed the words behind him that he couldn’t bear to say and murmured to himself.

All she did was to face him and turned her head outside as if she was about to collapse.

In a group of dazzling white lights. The circular space formed in a circle, was surrounded by a hard membrane and blocked from the outside.

She slowly raised her arm and slowly swept his lost mind off his back.

Then she recited it quietly.

“…… Thank you for saving me though.“

Good job. Thank you very much for worrying about me getting hurt.

“Why don’t you take care of yourself?”

A bitter smile was made.

A fact that never changes even if there is a lingering feeling until the end.

She recalled them in her head so that she wouldn’t want to forget them,

That he protected her and that he was actually hurt.

The meaning, pain, and magnitude of the shock of this short conclusion left an indescribable sensation in her.

She wondered why he should be sick and sad for me.

‘Just, why?’

Who am I to you, you keep coming out like this.

It was impossible for her to easily make an answer out of her mouth even though she already knew the answer.

Because she knew everything.

It has been a long time since she realized that the perfect future that will unfold for him has already been appointed.

She had to clear her prickly neck and calm her shaky mind.

Yeah, just like how she couldn’t reply to Elchevita’s letter so far.

It remains to be seen that she will be able to meet Carlos’ expectations.

“… Don’t remember.”

With a light smile, she raised her tiptoe and hugged Carlos’ neck.

Then, on his forehead, which gradually got closer, she pressed and removed her lips lightly.

It was a simple kiss that ended with a moment of moisture.

“I’m doing it because I’m proud of you today.”

With a relieved shrug, she warmly hugged him again.

Golden energy began to fill the field of view, as soon as their contact was over.

A warm halo of light wrapped around him and her.

It was her second secret and gift she showed him.
