An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 102.2
Chapter 102.2
If I were to say that I wasn’t afraid of Duke Alors as he pinned me down with his power, it would be a lie. The memory of being tormented underwater in that place haunted me, though I was able to endure it.
Now, even if I fell into the water, I had the strength to get out, and most importantly.
Because Diello was here.
Because there was someone to save me.
That thought calmed my tremors, so I wished it were the same for him.
Overcoming the memories of your childhood would be harder than you think. Even though the memories of being at your most powerless tend to linger in one’s mind for a long time, I wanted to tell him that things were different now.
‘…You are strong, and you have me.’
Even if it was the humid heat that you can’t control, I can drive it away.
Hiss.
I reached out and swept away the moisture that obscured him and whispered.
“Take a deep breath. It’s okay.”
I comforted him.
“I’ll handle the water. Then all that’s left is the fire.”
We could do it, right?
At the thought, I held him tight.
“You can handle it now.”
‘Unlike when you were young.’
“If you’re still scared, you can close your eyes.”
At my words, Diello slowly turned to look at me.

“Foolish.”
Diello was mocking himself. He knew he was weak in his childhood memories. However, he thought he would be a little numb to fear as he faced the threat of death every day.
But it was a misjudgment. He was still a coward.
The explosion erupted unexpectedly. The hostile humidity, the heat that was trying to kill him. It was trapping him like his childhood. Moreover, this was a heat he couldn’t push away.
“….!”
Just then, someone wrapped their arms around him from behind. The person who approached him with warm warmth instead of menacing heat was Krua.
“Take a deep breath.”
He opened his eyes wide at her words.
“Take a deep breath.”
Childhood memories seemed to overlap. Was it because of the hot steam? Was it because of the uncontrollable heat?
“You can handle it now.”
“It’s okay to fail.”
Krua’s words seemed to overlap with the voice of the child who had been with him before he awakened as a head.
“You can still close your eyes if you’re scared.”
“I won’t say anything to you.”
Diello opened his mouth slightly.
This refreshing energy…
The helpless child who was trapped in the fire…
It was the same energy as the child who whispered encouragement to him.
“….”
He looked back without realizing it.
Of course, it was Krua behind him.
He opened his mouth.
…Why didn’t he know? Why did he only know now?
Why didn’t he know this even though he had been with her countless times… that the child and Krua had the same energy? That they had the same warmth, why didn’t he know?
“…Surely you―”
He wanted to ask if she was the child and to ask again with certainty…
At that moment.
“Ah.”
As the lily below the collarbone screamed in pain as if it were being torn apart, he bent over.
“Stay still if it’s hard.”
Swoosh!
“These things…!”
The Duke, who had escaped from Krua’s magic, attacked again.
Krua, who raised her hand with a stern expression and blocked the water, was shining brightly like the moment he first fell in love with her… No, she was shining even more brightly than then.
Swoosh!
The water, responding to her magic, began to roar even more violently. However, it felt different from the water that had filled the conference room so far. The water was no longer hostile to him. Rather, it seemed to be comforting him.
“It’s okay.”
Just like her in the past and now, who whispered like that.
“…You have successfully awakened.”
Diello barely exhaled.
Krua grinned.
“I’m here to help.”
He couldn’t take his eyes off her as she turned around and said that. From her, who jumped into the uncontrollable heat. From her who jumped into danger.
From her who willingly appeared in front of him at the most dangerous moment.
“…Ah.”
He exhaled briefly.
The person who always caught his eye… The person who never let him go for a moment. And yet, the cruelly lovely person who pushed him away, saying he couldn’t fall in love.
‘It has to be Ferro.’
‘Diello, for your sake.’
Still, Krua’s wall that said so was useless now. He felt a heat like the lily below his collarbone was burning. The moment he realized the truth he didn’t know, the moment he realized that he had already been in the fire with her…
…The lily was reacting to her.
It was the moment the thin wall that separated them disappeared.
