[19] (EP-128.1) The Wise Queen #3
128 – The Wise Queen #3
“Tail?”
Aira’s expression, which had just been sternly reprimanding me, suddenly relaxed.
She brightened up like a child with a Christmas gift waiting for her. Still, the atmosphere felt awkward.
“You have a tail, Theo?”
It seemed that the idea of me having a tail was fascinating to her.
Well, it was not a tail. But metaphorically, it did look like one, just in the front.
So before Aira could misunderstand the situation deeper, I quickly added a few more words.
“Only men have this kind of tail….”
By this point, most people would have already roughly understood what I meant. However, Aira only seemed to get more interested, as if she didn’t understand anything at all.
“I’ve never heard of men having tails… And you’ve never told me that you have a tail, Theo!”
“That….”
I couldn’t help but wonder if she was doing this on purpose to make fun of me. Because others would’ve done the same. But I just couldn’t tell what Aira was thinking.
“Theo, show me your tail.”
Was it a mistake when I said that I had a tail? Now, Aira was even more interested than before.
At this point, I had to admit it.
It was my fault for inflating things too big. Adding more excuses to excuses was no different than pouring oil to fire.
“Aira-nim, I really want you to know that I do not have any malice towards you. You should know that I have no intention of insulting Aira-nim nor belittle you.”
Seureukseureuk.
I undid my pants and pulled them down. I didn’t take off my underwear, but Aira should have realized what my tail actually was.
Honestly, even a kindergartener would understand by this time.
“… Huh?”
Aira opened her slender eyes as she looked at the tent pitched on my underwear. The spacious dressing room fell into silence.
In my mind, a mixture of embarrassment and a strange excitement of exposing my underwear in front of Aira, and the tension of potentially being condemned for indecency all jumbled together.
What was going to happen now?
“Theo.”
Aira’s voice was exceptionally cool, as I felt her icy anger.
“That isn’t a tail, Theo… You lied to me… You know better than anyone else that I hate lies the most!!!”
Goooooo.
My skin tingled as power radiated from Aira. If this continued, Aira’s magic storm might tear me apart. So I hurriedly blurted out the words I had prepared.
“Please, can Aira-nim give me a chance to explain?”
“The sin of lying to me is grave! There’s no reason for me to entertain any excuses! However, Theo, considering how much loyalty you have shown me until now, I will give you a chance.”
Aira crossed her legs and sat in the empty air.
Seureukseureuk.
I wondered if she had placed an invisible platform of magic under her butt, but that wasn’t important right now. I immediately organized my thoughts and spoke my mind.
“I dare not use frivolous words that do not befit the Queen’s presence. Hence, even though I knew it was a lie, I said it was a tail.”
“Frivolous?”
“Um….”
“Go ahead, explain.”
“The word refers to the male gen¡talia. I didn’t want to ruin Aira-nim’s bath with such profanity.”
It was a decent excuse. And that was what actually happened.
The question now was whether Aira accepted it or not. She was just staring at my underwear.
Again, I couldn’t read what was on her mind.
As I anticipated what words she’d say, Aira finally spoke.
“If it means the male gen¡talia, what word are you referring to?”
‘Seriously?’
… You were really making me say it?
Aira’s expression was serious, and it didn’t seem like she was joking. If I hesitated or fumbled here, an angered Aira might just use her telekinetic powers to rip my brain off.
I had to make a decision.
“If it’s male gen¡talia, then….”
“Then?”
“Then something like ‘dicƙ’….”
I felt dizzy as I said it.
To say these words in front of a woman in a non-intimate situation was very embarrassing. But, at the same time, gave a strange sense of excitement.
It felt like I was defiling Aira’s ears with my words. And since it had already come to this, I decided to go all the way.
“In the old-fashioned way, it would be a phąllus or a pen¡s.”
“Hmm….”
Aira’s response was dull. But she didn’t get angry and instead exuded a calmness, like a duck floating on a serene lake.
This was good for me. Just the fact that she didn’t immediately get enraged meant that more than half of my plan had succeeded.
“Theo, I understand your intentions well. However, my ears won’t be tainted just by hearing such things.”
Aira spoke proudly without losing her composure. But her blushing ears, that poked through her dark hair, said otherwise.
I could also feel the effects of the ‘Casanova’ job that reached level 7 not long ago.
