If there is a god, he cannot do this to me. It's already a beggarly life, but how much more miserable can I be here?

Etienne bit his lower lip and curled up as best he could. His teeth chattered and his body trembled as if he had a chill.
Contrary to his convulsive body, his insides were bubbling like boiling water.

Please, please, please......

Étienne felt hiz tears welling up and prayed inwardly. Whether it be a god or a demon, he wanted someone to save him from this crisis.
But no one answered his prayers. As always, miracles did not happen this time either.

"Older brother."

An urgent voice was heard along with the sound of rustling and stepping on the grass. Etienne, who was trying to calm himself down somehow, frightened at the sound of a voice piercing his ears, and stiffened his body.

At this moment, it was the voice he didn't want to hear the most.

"Why all of a sudden......"

Richard, who had been chasing after Etienne, stopped talking while catching his breath. He looked at Étienne, who hid hiz face between his knees, and narrowed his eyes.
Something was strange.

"...... Are you crying?"
After hesitating for a moment, Richard asked in a calm voice. Etienne did not answer.
"Older brother."
Richard called Étienne again when he did not answer his question.
"Brother Etienne."

Tenacious child. Just go.

Étienne cursed inwardly at Richard, who was calling him. In his temper, he wanted to yell at him to get off, but he couldn't. It was clear that if he made a sound now, Richard would immediately notice his abnormality.

"Haah"

Richard, who was looking down at Etienne, who kept ignoring him, sighed lightly. Étienne gritted his teeth at the sound of small breathing above the crown of his head. His lower stomach tickled at the mere sound of breathing.

It's still okay. Not yet.

Étienne tried with all his might to cool the heat in his stomach. He had to somehow capture the rampaging pheromones before Richard noticed.
"..... go."
Étienne squeezed his throat so that his voice wouldn't tremble, and barely uttered a single word. He hoped that Richard would not mind him and return. If Richard found out, everything was over.
However, Richard did not act as Etienne wished. Sensitive, he sensed the faint trembling of Etienne's voice, as if submerged in water.
"I cannot go alone."
There was a crunchy, grassy sound behind the hardened voice. Immediately after that, the scent resembling the cold night air, drew closer. Richard on one knee, kneeled in front of Étienne.
"Sigh.....!"
Étienne swallowed in vain at the intense pheromones that tickled the tip of his nose. His stomach felt hot like oil on fire.

Dangerous.

Étienne curled up at the chills running down his spine. His mind wandered, and his eyes burned.

"Older brother?"

Sensing his strange aura, Richard stretched out his hand towards Etienne. He didn't want to do anything he didn't like, but he couldn't help it. Etienne was now in an unstable state.
"Go, don't touch me!"

Slap.

Richard's hand could not reach Étienne. There was a sound of hitting the skin along with a high-pitched voice. Richard frowned slightly at the apparent refusal.
"I don't care."
Étienne hissed like a cat pulling his fur up. But his words didn't come out right. His voice trembled terribly.

"Go away."

As he spit out the words, Richard paused. Étienne, meanwhile, as if he had fallen into the sea, moved his hand like a floundering man. He grabbed the tree behind him and forced himself to stand up.
