The Obsessive Male Leads Want to Eat Me Alive

portant ingredients.

Walking on a sunny street, basking in the sunlight, and taking a leisurely bite of sweet ice cream made me feel good.

But there was no conversation.

The ‘Mr.
Kine’ that I interacted with was a man who didn’t talk much.

‘You must be very shy.’

Whenever he occasionally whispered, he would tilt his broad shoulders closer, but when he fell, his cheeks were red for some reason.

We didn’t even make eye contact.

“…….”

‘Hmm, let’s do small talk.’

I looked up at the man who was quietly walking next to me and impulsively asked,

“Mr.
Kine, why are you dressed so nicely today?”

“……!”

For a moment, his eyes flickered.

“Ah, this is what I usually wear.”

Mr.
Kine responded quickly, but I tilted my head.

‘Not at all.
It’s definitely nicer than usual.’

Did he put a lot of effort into his outfit?

It looked like he had been thinking hard all night about what to wear, and finally came to a difficult decision.

I looked at him with a perplexed expression, but realized something and asked with a smile.

“Ah, do you have another appointment after shopping with me?”

Kyle gently licked the chocolate ice cream with his tongue, shaking his head slightly.

“…….”

‘So, was it just a day in which you wanted to dress up?’

I thought quietly and took a bite of the refreshing ice cream.

Anyway, it was fortunate that he was stronger than he looked.

I knew he had a hidden well-built physique, but I still thought of him as a square-rimmed glasses wearing nerd, a totally bashful nerd… 

Contrary to that image, he was carrying a heavy bag with ease.

‘I should ask you more often.’

With a cheerful smile, I thought about how I could reduce labor costs even more.

Meanwhile, Kyle was staring at Annette.

Although he seldom made eye contact with her, his affectionate gaze always followed her when she looked elsewhere.

He often secretly smiled and laughed because she was so lovely.

The girl walking next to him was completely unaware.

“By the way, Mr.
Kine, you must have bad eyes.
Do you always wear glasses?”

“I only use it when I want to see things well.”

Although his eyesight was poor, Kyle did not wear glasses on the battlefield or on a daily basis.
It was an act that originated from a cynical and cold heart that did not want to look closely at the dirty things of the world.

But whenever he went to the bakery, he kept his glasses on.

As he wanted to see a lovely person well.

“…….”

‘Why are you looking at me like that?’

I dodged his gaze for the first time.
I was kind of embarrassed, hence I quickly changed the subject.

“Do you remember what’s left on the shopping list?”

“Salami ham and bacon, dark chocolate for baking, whole wheat flour, and fresh eggs.
We can buy three more batches.”

I opened my mouth wide.
There were quite a few items, yet he remembered them all?

There were easily 15 more things.
Besides, I only mentioned it to him once.

‘Even this bakery owner is using my palm as a cheat sheet!’

“You have a good memory, Mr.
Kine.”

“…….”

The man quietly looked at the lady and smiled meaningfully.

“It’s kind of like that.”

“…….”

“As much as I need to remember.”

Annette was always at the center of that memory.

It had been like that since he was very young.

Annette didn’t know, from the very first meeting of the two—

He was always the same.

When Kyle Winston was 9-years-old, he went to the subjugation battlefield with Circe, and was eaten by the magical beasts.

But it wasn’t anything special.

The Winstons started educating their successors slowly at about the age of six, which meant early education on ‘subjugation of beasts’ and ‘guild management’.

Of course, there were many heirs who died in the meantime.

If the child couldn’t survive the education, then he wouldn’t qualify as a Winston.

And in Bizet’s thoughts, Kyle was extraordinary.

He couldn’t have died.

“Be sure to find him, because he is still alive.
He’s a real Winston.”

It was a wonderful coincidence that Madam Mimosa went out that day and found Kyle.

A 9-year-old boy who had fainted with sticky digestive juices all over his body.

The boy had a dagger in his hand.
He had torn the beast’s belly.

The child’s soul contained a tremendous amount of magical powers.

Madam Mimosa recognized the boy at a glance.

“I found a great child.
He will be a great Tree.”

Kyle became a ‘Tree’ of the ‘Forest’.

Ame: I think I’ve found my ideal type!! A pure, innocent, cute man!! Cuteness wins!! And, WHAT?? Kyle was once a Tree?? 

Tassie: HOLY SHIT PLOT TWIST!!!!! Unlike AME however, TSUNDERES ALL THE WAY MANNN
