Chapter 092 – After the Deed [B]
Ssulal suddenly heard a voice from overhead, causing her body to twitch greatly.
As she slowly looked up, as expected, there was,
“…Have you been awake all this time?”
“Hm… no, I just woke up.”
She felt relieved by his answer. Apparently, her embarrassing behavior earlier wasn’t seen by him. Well, it shouldn’t have felt weird since they had done something much more embarrassing the night before, but it still wasn’t good for her mental health. Not to mention he would definitely tease her over it.
Though not exactly because of that, she asked a random topic.
“…Leonhart, are you weak in the morning?”
“…Well, I wonder about that… When my exhaustion gets built up, there are times when I sleep too much…”
He said it with a somewhat sleepy tone. It felt a little cute.
As she became aware of the edges of her mouth rising, he continued his words,
“I’m tired because you were too fierce…”
“Wha—”
Her words stopped. Even as her cheeks got hot, she tried to find a way to deny it.
“I-it’s not me who was fierce. It was Leonhart…!”
“Stupid,” said Ssulal as she lightly cussed him, but he didn’t seem to be affected by that as one corner of his mouth rose,
“Was it? In my memory, you were quite passionate near the end…”
Ssulal leaked a short groan because she remembered it.
She certainly was passionate near the end. But for the most part, it was Leonhart who was doing many things,
“Uuh…”
She covered half of her face with the blanket out of embarrassment.
Then as if to hide her feelings,
“…Rather, it should be close to noon by now, is it okay for you to not go to work…?”
She tried to change the topic, but right after she said that,
…I don’t want you to go…
She thought so and looked down. She wanted to spend a little more time with him. Or to be blunt, she wanted to flirt with him more.
However, he was the supreme majin and the demon army officer. Many people would have problems without him present. Although it was a role that Ssulal, herself, had given him, she regretted it a little.
I guess I’m just being selfish, but even as she thought that, she waited for his words without saying anything. As she was looking at his profile, he suddenly made a move.
“—No.”
“Ah…”
He drew her body toward him and brought his face toward her. And the words that followed were something that made Ssulal doubt her own ears.
“I… don’t want to go today — so I’ll take a break.”
It’s been a while since I didn’t feel like working, thought Leonhart.
It happened from time to time during his time as a human, but he stopped feeling that way after he was turned into a majin. He understood his duty. Or rather, he was motivated by a sense of mission and responsibility. He was aware he did it because he wanted to, and he found it enjoyable sometimes.
But today, he didn’t feel like going. Leonhart spoke of his reason without hiding it.
“…You’re just so adorable that I’m having a hard time leaving you…”
“Ado—ah, wait…”
Leonhart embraced Ssulal’s body and enjoyed the sensation of her against him.
Her reaction before he opened his eyes, her reaction just now, and her reactions last night made Leonhart have a hard time controlling himself.
…I wonder why this feels so comfortable…?
It felt so sweet and addictive, like a drug. It could obviously be said for his physical part, but his heart was also filled with satisfaction.
“You sure have smooth skin…”
“Hm, i-is it…?”
“Aah,” nodded Leonhart as his hand crawled around her body.
Ssulal’s petite body was even smaller when embraced, but the soft, girlish sensations were properly conveyed through her skin.
Her skin was white and smooth, but it felt squishy when he touched it and it was comfortable.
Leonhart rubbed her back, stroked her hips, kneaded her buttock gently, reconfirming the feeling of her body with his hands. Although he already tasted the sensation over and over from last night all the way to this morning, he didn’t feel tired of it, nor did he think he ever would.
As he pulled her body closer, he drew his face closer.
“Ah, fuah… hmm…”
Every time Leonhart’s lips touched her ears, cheeks, neck, and various other parts of her, Ssulal twisted her body as if feeling ticklish. Perhaps she felt sweet pleasure as she let out a cute moan.
By the end of it, they put their lips together and moved away. Ssulal then looked up toward him, with flushed cheeks and a slightly embarrassed expression,
“G-geez… you sure are being perverted… is it really okay not to go to work today…?”
“Aah… for today, I want to— love you longer.”
“! I-I see…”
“It should be okay for us to enjoy it for the whole day.” When Leonhart said that, Ssulal revealed an embarrassed yet happy smile.
And while confused where to look, she gave an upturned gaze toward Leonhart,
“…I also… want to be loved…”
“…I see.”
Leonhart realized his Orpheil was ready for battle when he heard her words.
Ssulal also noticed that and her face flushed all the way to her ears. Then with a panicked tone,
“Ah… W-wait… you shouldn’t do it yet, okay? My body still feels sluggish… that’s why, it shouldn’t become big, okay?”
Ssulal’s attempt to admonish it by poking the demonic sword with her finger only brought the opposite effect, and his sword swelled even bigger,
“It won’t subside just because you told it to. There’s no choice but for you to help calm it down.”
“W-why are you saying such a perverted thing with a cool voice! Eh, uwah… it really became a superb article.”
“I was just flirting though…” muttered Ssulal as she touched the sword to confirm it.
As Leonhart felt the sensation, he exhaled and said,
“…Well, I don’t mind if you leave it as is though.”
“Eh, is it really okay…?”
“………Why do you sound disappointed there?”
“Y-you’re wrong. I’m just worried that Leonhart might have a hard time if it stays like that!”
“…Well, I don’t mind either way.”
“It’s not that,” said Ssulal only to be ignored by Leonhart who then said,
“…After all, we can do it anytime we want from now on, right?”
“—”
Well not literally anytime, I still have work to do after all.
However,
“I also want to spend my time like this with you many more times, and I also want to date you like yesterday. That’s why, we don’t have to rush things… such is my thought.”
Leonhart didn’t mind even if their relationship didn’t have a physical connection, as long as their hearts were connected.
“That’s why,” said Leonhart as he embraced Ssulal,
“Aah…”
“—I’m satisfied just by doing this.”
His precious person was in his arms. There was nothing that could replace that.
Ssulal felt thrilled by the words she heard.
Her body trembled.
It was the moment she realized her feelings had bore fruit.
“…Leonhart.”
She also said her own feelings.
“I also… feel very satisfied just by doing this.”
“Ssulal…”
Both of them looked at each other’s eyes and laughed lightly with embarrassment.
“I guess we’re the same,” Ssulal said. However,
“…But, I think that won’t be enough for now.”
“! …Why?”
Leonhart’s expression became a little cloudy.
She drew closer to him and said as to reassure him,
“After all… when I heard what you said earlier… Well, I feel like doing it now…”
“You…”
As she said such an embarrassing thing, she reached out to his sword.
Perhaps she was too shameless? While she indeed felt embarrassed, her desire to do something for Leonhart was greater.
But as she spoke her anxiety,
“…Or maybe — you hate the kind of woman who says such things…?”
She said it. Then after being surprised for a moment, he told her.
“…I don’t hate it. I also find that part of you—”
“Leonhart—”
As they conveyed their feelings, they kissed each other.
It was the day after their date. It should be okay for them to spend just one more day with just two of them. Both of them flirted on the bed while wondering how they would explain things to each other after the deed.
Author Note:
That’s the end of the Date Arc. I have a hard time depicting their flirting moment… by the way, the next one will be a small arc.
Also, I won’t say what it was, but I think it will be over around another 10 chapters…
