how did it happen like this
Elric thought while lying upright on Tyria’s bed and looking at the ceiling.
Then I sighed inwardly.
‘How come what… !’
Isn’t this all because the bed legs are broken?
Not to mention.
Elric’s resentment toward the cleaning company began to rise.
“You have to get up early and move diligently, so stop sleeping.”
Tyria said.
I glanced back and saw that she was lying in the same upright position as he was.
Even the sleeping posture is aristocratic!
In a brief moment of admiration, something passed through Elric’s mind.
“… Aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your wife doesn’t take a nap. I thought it would be uncomfortable to fall asleep because of me.”
It was a habit I learned while taking care of her.
Tyria curls up and goes to sleep.
In case she stooped down, even if she worked hard to get her posture right, she couldn’t go 10 minutes and went back to sleep. She wondered if this straight posture would be uncomfortable for her.
Tyria continued to be silent for a while before answering.
“… it’s okay. And the bed is wide, so it doesn’t matter too much.”
“It is true. I was surprised that the bed was so big.”
From noble mtl dot com
“The former head of the household took care of me.”
“… Father?”
“yes.”
Elric’s head jerked.
It was rare for her to talk about her father first.
The feeling of stuffiness I felt after entering this mansion deepened.
Elric asked in a voice mixed with longing.
“Can you tell me more about your father?”
Maybe I can know his intentions that I didn’t know until the end.
It would be a lie if I said I had no expectations.
At first, I thought it was not between her and my father to mix private words with each other, but it’s been 10 years.
There must have been no conversation at all.
Tyria hesitated at that, and answered in a slightly quieter voice.
“… The former head of the family seemed to pass by saying that if the head of the family returned, he would have to use a big bed.”
A flinch, Elric’s fingertips trembled.
“Did you think I would come back? Is that person?”
“I do not know. The former head of the household was a person who prepared for any eventuality, so I think it might be the influence of that temperament.”
The shimmering deepened.
In fact, considering his father’s tendencies during his lifetime, it was a plausible statement, but his heritage made me think differently.
Maybe he was waiting for himself.
If I had already shaken off the lingering feelings, it felt like it was overtaking me once more.
Elric tried to smile as Tyria’s gaze, which had been looking at the ceiling, turned to herself.
“I guess so.”
Elric tried to pretend he was okay.
Tyria did not immediately add words to that.
He kept his mouth shut while looking at each other, and Elric felt a strange sense of stability coming to him.
Sometimes silence is more comforting than a thousand words.
When I think of that word again, I feel embarrassed.
That wasn’t all.
‘… green.’
Even in the dimly lit room, Tyria’s eyes were shining light green.
The hair that covered the nape of her neck was golden.
Even in darkness, the color didn’t change, which made me feel unfamiliar.
Then, his gaze suddenly turned to his bare skin.
Fire! My face turned red.
It was a moment when it was fortunate that the lights went out.
“Hey, I should go to sleep now. Have a good night.”
After saying that, I closed my eyes and soon felt Tyria tossing and turning.
“… yes.”
Behind her whispered voice, her breathing became more and more stable.
Elric was not.
thump, thump. My heart was beating fast, and I felt like the fever would not go away.
I wanted to throw off the blanket.
As long as each one is covered with a blanket, Tyria will notice.
How long has it been since you’ve been stuck in a state where you can’t do this or that?
Bassrock.
There was a sound and I began to feel Tyria tossing and turning more clearly.
Elric narrowed his eyes and looked at Tyria.
It was certain that he was asleep.
Looking at her frowning expression, she seemed to be tossing and turning because her posture was uncomfortable.
As I was looking at it, Tyria stammeringly stretched out her hand.
And found Elric’s arm.
“Sigh… !”
Oops, Elric finally remembered one more habit of hers that he had forgotten.
She had a habit of sleeping while holding something.
Before, it was my hand, and I usually slept with a pillow.
Tyria, who was groping Elric’s arm, eventually began to close the distance.
Elric held his breath and stiffened his body.
“Um… .”
With a murmur, Tyria clung to Elric’s arm.
It was dangerous.
in many ways.
“Boo, madam… .”
“… .”
There was no answer, so I checked with tears in my eyes, and no one had such a good night’s sleep.
Was riding the train that tiring?
I hoped it was a joke and tried to sharpen her senses by raising her mana, but all of her biological activities were saying that she was in a state of sleep.
“If you sleep like this, I… .”
I whispered, but I don’t think to wake up.
It didn’t even end there.
Tyria started to fall asleep.
As I crouched down, there were things I could feel more clearly.
Something like a soft sensation, smell, or breath penetrated her tickling body.
Elric slipped away to the corner of the bed.
Tyria clung to Elric whenever that happened.
It was a self-inflicted disaster.
It would have been nice if he had only given his arm, but now Elric has given her his whole body.
The head is on an arm pillow.
Her arms were wrapped around her waist and her legs wrapped around Elric’s thighs.
He was a very bad sleeper.
Even so, there was nothing to say about how resentful I felt when I was the only person in the world who was comfortably sleeping.
Elric tried to take a deep breath, but it seldom calmed down.
At this moment, even the work of his father, which had disturbed him so much, was moving away.
I feel like a mess.
Do you wear perfume while sleeping?
I have no idea why it smells so sweet.
‘Calm down. Let’s calm down.’
Elric pushed himself and had a bad idea.
‘Yes, how was the defense of Chebor… ?’
He even recalled the defense of Chebor, which he hated to recall.
I wasn’t very good at it.
A sweet fragrance is overlaid on the bloody memory of the defense of Chevor.
Soft flesh is overlaid on top of the bone-crushing hand taste.
That wasn’t the end of it.
A gentle breath pierced his body more intensely than bullets that cut through the wind.
For Elric, it was crazy and jumping.
Let’s get some sleep
Squeezing his eyes shut and struggling to catch his breath, Elric began a relentless effort to fall asleep.
In terms of results, it was a success.
It was uncomfortable, but I managed to blow my mind and fall asleep anyway.
and,
“… .”
Elric on this day did not have nightmares.
No, if it was a nightmare, it could have been a nightmare.
If he had a dream, without a single exception, he wandered in the nightmare of the battlefield, but today instead of the battlefield, he had a dream of struggling in the belly of a slime.
It was such a soft nightmare.
*
Tyria opened her eyes at the same time as her whole body felt refreshed.
And it hardened.
“Ugh… !”
Elric, moaning with a pale complexion, was within nose’s reach.
Her arms were entwined around his solid body, and for some reason Tyria was in the corner of the bed with Elric.
The first thought that came to my mind was ‘Is this a dream?
It’s a very stimulating sight, so you start denying that it can’t be real.
However, the senses are too clear to be a dream.
It took some time to figure out the situation.
Why did you open your eyes in this state?
Tyria eventually came to a conclusion.
‘The head of household has a nasty sleeping habit.’
He must have hugged himself who was sleeping well and fell asleep.
It had to be.
If not, I would be ashamed to the point of wanting to hang myself.
Isn’t Elric’s arm also wrapped around his shoulder?
Tyria’s face turned red like a blush.
Breathing was roaring like waves in the middle of a stormy sea.
Even so, I couldn’t move quickly.
No, do you not want to move?
The composition feels quite déjà vu.
Even in the midst of being so ashamed, Tyria recalled the memories of her childhood.
The day I spent the night with him in the tent under the bridge, this was exactly what I saw when I opened my eyes.
I was happy and excited.
My body was tense for no reason, and my mind melted like wet cotton candy.
It was the moment when I stared blankly at him because I couldn’t help but love him grunting.
“Ugh… !”
Elric, who had been grunting, opened his eyes.
And one, two, three.
“Ugh!”
Knocked up!
Elric, flapping like a live fish, rolled under the bed.
Tyria, barely centered on the bed, felt her heart pounding.
It was just as embarrassing to be caught spying on someone who was sleeping.
Tyria quickly got up, straightened her clothes and calmed her complexion.
I turned my head away from him and made an excuse.
“… I couldn’t get out. It seems that the head of household has a bad sleeping habit.”
I couldn’t say that I was distracted while looking at your face and maintained that posture.
The answer was to shift responsibility.
Meanwhile, Elric’s face was filled with despair and resentment.
“… Do you mean sleeping?”
Of course, Tyria, who turned her head, did not know.
