I’m not a Regressor

I am not a returner Episode 386

Sister (10)

“…Haa.”

A heavy sigh that felt like the earth was falling apart.

Isabella touched her forehead as if she had a headache.

“I… was kidnapped?”

He asked with a trembling voice, as if he had difficulty understanding the current situation.

“huh. I do not remember?”

“yes. “I don’t remember anything… Oh, wait a minute.”

Isabella frowned, recalling the events on the plane, and bit her lip.

“I was on a private plane… when suddenly my vision went dark.”

“and?”

“I heard a scream… Ah, a snake. “I saw a snake.”

“It was a white snake, right?” “that’s right.”

Isabella’s shoulders trembled as if memories were slowly coming back to her.

“White snakes covered the inside of the plane… and… ugh.”

Isabella moans as if in pain.

Ojin carefully placed his hand on Isabella’s shoulder.

“There’s no need to think too much about it.”

“…sorry. “I don’t remember anything after that.”

Isabella sighed deeply and shook her head.

Ojin patted her back and narrowed his eyes.

‘Then Isabella was hit so quickly that she can’t even remember properly?’

Considering that Isabella was a powerful awakener who had just reached the 11th level, I couldn’t even guess how powerful Mobius was.

‘Isn’t there no answer to using Gaecheon at this level?’

A thought like that suddenly crossed my mind.

“I… I don’t plan on making excuses for that, but I wasn’t in a normal state at the time.”

Isabella cautiously opened her mouth as if she knew what Ojin was thinking.

“You mean it wasn’t normal?”

“Well… I haven’t drank blood since I went to Italy, so I was much weaker than usual.”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, I had heard that if an awakened person with the leech stigmata does not drink blood regularly, their strength will rapidly weaken.

‘After going to Italy…’ Are you

saying that he went to Japan, had a fierce battle with Anceladus, went into the intensive care unit, recovered from his internal injuries, and didn’t even bleed until he came back to Korea?

‘It definitely deserves to be weakened.’

I heard that not drinking blood for just three days can weaken the strength of the stigmata, but since she had not even touched blood for over two weeks, her physical condition must have been close to the worst.

“But why didn’t you drink the blood until that happened?”

It is said that in order to get rid of the urge to suck blood, one must suck blood directly, but in order to simply maintain the power of the stigmata, there was no need to suck blood.

Why were there so many blood packs stored in Isabella’s room at the Colgrande family mansion?

If he had at least ingested animal blood, he wouldn’t have been kidnapped by Moebius so helplessly.

“That…”

Isabella trailed off with an embarrassed expression.

Isabella, who was licking her lips and stamping her feet, slowly averted her gaze and opened her mouth.

“…Come on.”

“ok?”

“It’s because it tastes bad!”

Isabella cried out with a red face up to her ears.

Oh Jin looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“…You didn’t drink blood because it wasn’t tasty?”

“But… Now I’ve become a body that can’t be satisfied except with Ojin’s blood?”

It sounds like something dirty, but if you think about it, it’s a really scary thing.

“No matter what, what if I don’t drink until my body becomes like that?”

“But… it tastes much better if you hold the tea in before eating it.”

“….”

Is this a bit similar to intentionally starving before going to a buffet?

‘No matter what, I won’t starve for two weeks, girl.’

Ojin touched his forehead as if he had a headache.

It would be better if you didn’t eat for two weeks.

For an awakened person with the leech stigmata, cutting off blood was something that entailed extreme pain along with thirst that withered the soul itself.

“Oh Jin is bad!”

Isabella jumped up from her seat and shouted.

“Oh, Oh Jin, your blood is so delicious that you can’t even eat other blood!”

“Why is it my fault?”

I wasn’t born delicious(?) because I wanted to.

‘What am I?’

I sighed deeply as I remembered the unfortunate animal that was intelligent enough to recognize its owner, possessed both charm and a cute appearance, but was unable to become a pet because it was too tasty.

“anyway! I never thought I would be attacked on the return flight. sorry.”

Still, Isabella seemed to admit that she had made a mistake and sighed and sat down again.

“Well… that can’t be helped.”

Honestly, who could have predicted that we would suddenly be attacked by a constellation on the return flight?

It was true that the situation was too unexpected to accuse me of being complacent.

“By the way…”

Isabella’s eyes turned to Ojin.

To be precise, to a woman who was clinging to Ojin’s side like a leech.

“…Why is your sister like that?”

Isabella glared at Cassia, who was silently rubbing her cheek on Ojin’s shoulder while holding Ojin’s arm throughout the conversation.

“…I don’t know either.”

“I was proudly exposing my ass in front of Mr. Oh Jin just now. Does it make sense that you don’t know?”

“No, I really don’t know.”

Although he could vaguely guess why Cassia was hanging on him, he couldn’t figure out why she didn’t fall away, clinging to him as if she had suddenly suffered some kind of infantile regression.

“Stay away for a moment, sister.”

“….”

“hey? “Can’t you hear me?”

“ha. Oh Jin… it’s so warm.”

“This bitch?”

Sparks flew out of Isabella’s eyes.

Even though I grabbed Cassia’s shoulder and tried to force it away, I couldn’t get it off because it was clinging to Ojin’s arm like a coiled snake, even with Ojin’s arm between her legs.

“No, stay away! “What are you doing to someone else’s lover?!”

“…no.”

“what?”

“It won’t fall.”

Cassia glared at Isabella with venomous eyes.

“Now Ojin is mine… no, my body and mind are Ojin’s.”

“…what?”

Isabella’s eyes widened at the sudden bombshell.

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Cassia slowly raised an eyebrow at her, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

“Hehe. “While you were unconscious… you had a deep physical conversation with Ojin?”

“wait for a sec.”

There’s something strange about saying that we hit and fought.

“I tried to hold on somehow… but in the end, I was unable to overcome Ojin-nim’s strong strength and my body and mind… gave in to Ojin-nim.”

You’re expressing in a very different way what it means to be beaten and lose, aren’t you?

“I realized it and threw it away. “Now I have become a body that cannot live without the warmth of this person.”

Cassia hugs Ojin’s arm with a drugged, hazy look in her eyes.

“…Mr. Ojin?”

Isabella’s eyes lost their shine as she looked at Ojin.

“What is this… situation?”

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

A word of respect that comes out naturally.

“What are you doing wrong?”

“This is… Even if it’s the same word in Korean, the meaning changes a lot depending on how you say it.”

Since I’m Italian, it might be a bit difficult to understand.

“So you’re saying that you had a physical conversation with your sister while I was unconscious?”

“No, that… speaking of physical communication sounds a bit strange. We fought. We fought. I told you earlier. “At first, I thought it was my sister who kidnapped Bella.”

“It’s not some kind of shonen cartoon. This happens because people got into a fight? Be honest. Are you really ‘just fighting’?”

“No, that’s it.”

Ojin avoided Isabella’s gaze with an embarrassed expression.

In fact, he did not tell Isabella that he fought Mobius on behalf of Cassia, who was trying to block Moebius’s path.

‘Because it’s obvious that I’ll get criticized if I tell you.’

There was no need to even imagine what Isabella’s reaction would be if she found out that he had fought the Black Star Constellation to protect Cassia.

‘No, it’s only natural to help your lover’s older sister.’

When thinking about the relationship between Cassia and Isabella, the problem was that even such ‘obvious’ things became no longer natural.

“So, how did this happen…”

“Ojin saved my life.”

Cassia opened her mouth, cutting Ojin off.

Isabella’s expression distorted fiercely.

“…Saving your sister’s life? “What does that mean?”

“To protect me, you fought bravely against Mobius and the constellation of Ophiuchus.”

“That was to protect Isabella…”

“Oh? If you wanted to protect Bella, you should have left me and run away with her, right? “I said I would buy me time, but it was Ojin who threw me back, right?”

“….”

Damn it.

Since you say that, I have nothing to say.

“So… are you so attached to Oh Jin because he saved your sister’s life?”

“oh? “Isn’t it natural to have feelings for someone who saves your life?”

Of course, the reason she became obsessed with Ojin was not simply because he was a ‘lifesaver’.

The loneliness that had been bothering her ever since.

The person named Oh Jin who appeared in her life, which was as cold and lonely as an endless snow field, was not just a lifesaver, but a savior who saved her rotting soul itself.

Even if Oh Jin, the person involved, did not even think of such things and saved her.

“I decided to give my all to Ojin.”

As a result, she was saved.

A brightly shining starlight appeared in my heart, which was sick from cold and loneliness.

“Is that what you would say to your younger sister’s husband?”

“Well… we’re not married yet.”

“Oh Jin, please shut up.”

“yes.”

Isabella continued, glaring sharply at Cassia.

“Because Oh Jin has me, there is no room for you.”

“Oh, Bella, aren’t there two more people besides you?”

“That’s… uh anyway! “My sister says no!”

“Hehe. “Don’t worry about that.”

Kisa shrugged and continued speaking as if nothing had happened.

“Because I don’t really want to be a lover with Ojin.”

“…what?”

Isabella’s eyes widened at Cassia’s calm words.

“You said earlier, Bella, that you have become unable to live without Ojin’s blood, right?”

“…what is that?”

“It’s similar to that.”

It’s okay to not be Oh Jin’s lover.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not loved.

“As long as I can be by Ojin’s side… Even if you consider me a servant, I am a good tool to use… Yes, I am satisfied even if you consider me as a foot wipe to use after washing.”

Isabella touched her forehead as if she had a headache as the dizzying words flowed from Cassia’s mouth.

Why?

The reason why Cassia’s appearance, which even feels like madness, overlaps with her former self.

‘I wonder if someone is my real sister.’

I guess.

Cassia’s condition seemed to be more serious than expected.
