chapter 15
15 – Sleeping (1)
*
“Ash, let’s sleep together.”
Sylvia said that as soon as I opened my eyes.
“Eh?”
Since I had just woken up from sleep, I, who was just sitting in a daze, reacted to those words with a very strange sound to call it an answer.
Sylvia-san didn’t care about my screams and continued.
“Let’s sleep together from tonight.”
“…”
I rubbed my eyes and tried to force my dreamy brain to work out what this was talking about.
Did I hear correctly?
I think I heard you sleep together.
Ay no way
I decided to start by assessing the situation.
“…Why haven’t you gone hunting yet?”
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
“…why?”
“I want to ask you to sleep with me.”
Wow, I didn’t hear anything wrong.
She must have been waiting for me to wake up to say this, having not yet gone hunting.
what the heck, that’s scary
I suddenly felt like I was falling asleep.
“uh, ah? hmm? Why?”
Sylvia smiled and slowly approached the bed where I was sitting.
I flinched involuntarily and stepped back.
She stared at me like that and slowly sat down slightly on top of the bed I was sitting on.
Then, he slowly touched the cushion on the bed with his hand.
“It’s too hard. If you keep sleeping in a place like this, your back will break.”
“…yes?”
“But if I give you my bed, where else will I sleep? right? So I thought about it all night, and I thought that sleeping together would solve all my problems.”
“…”
No, why did you stay up all night thinking about that?
“How are you?”
“… yes?”
I could only stupidly ask back, feeling the absurd run away.
In fact, the bed I sleep on now is too hard and uncomfortable to be called a bed.
It was to the point where it felt as if something that was not originally a bed had been forcibly turned into a bed.
However, in the days of commoners, a simple mattress was used by weaving straw and inserting straw into it.
Compared to that time, this bed was a pretty good thing.
“It’s okay because it’s not uncomfortable.”
“Oh my God, even I, who have camped countless times, think my back will break if I continue to sleep here?”
“…”
“If you’re concerned that I might be uncomfortable, it’s okay if you don’t. The bed in my room is quite wide. It should be big enough for the two of us to sleep.”
Why are you talking about how wide the bed is?
Although cleaning every nook and cranny of the cabin is included in my daily routine, I have never been to her room.
It wasn’t that she said no, but there was still a psychological reluctance to burst into a woman’s room.
Manners and common sense that he had learned all his life were like that, so it was inevitable.
So I don’t know how wide her bed is.
However, even if the bed was large enough to fill an entire room, sleeping with her was too much for me.
Even more so, it was just last night that she revealed in a fit of rage the appearance of the world she did not know.
After seeing her in shock as she walked into the room with her head hanging helplessly, I felt so pathetic that I couldn’t express how pathetic I was for myself.
Perhaps because it was the morning after a deep reflection, I was feeling more uncomfortable with her proposal.
“Anyway, sleeping together is a bit…”
“why.”
“…”
Sylvia grabbed my chin and forcibly pulled me to meet her eyes.
The same red eyes were shining at each other.
“Poem, Mr. Sylvia?”
“no?”
what. What. what is it
Embarrassed, I tried to turn my head, but my chin was firmly gripped and forcibly fixed.
She was slowly scanning my eyes, my nose, my lips, and down my neck.
Suddenly, the image of her sniffing my futon with her nose flashed through my mind a few days ago.
‘…Could it be Sylvia-san?’
She raised her gaze again and met my eyes.
Before, they said it was a misunderstanding, so could it be that she has a crush on me?
I looked into her eyes carefully to see what she was thinking.
Her red eyes shining through the rustling platinum hair were too pretty to be a sign of a curse.
A beautiful crystal with a hint of purple in the red color, but reflecting white light like the water surface of a calm lake.
It was like a beautiful ruby.
Above and below the ruby, long yellow eyelashes that looked as soft as peacock feathers were adorned with jewels.
Her eyes were so interesting and beautiful that I couldn’t get tired of looking at them for a long time.
Feeling her face suddenly heat up, I hurriedly lowered my gaze and avoided eye contact with her.
Even with a quick glance, her face hadn’t changed at all.
That’s right, she’s a warrior.
There must have been countless wonderful men who boasted physical masculinity in my colleagues and surroundings, but there was no way they thought of me as a man and made such an offer.
I spoke cautiously in a creeping voice.
“That’s not… it’s not. Sleeping in the same room with two grown men and women is a bit…”
“… Ahh-“
Sylvia sighed briefly as if she had just realized it, then burst into laughter.
He was still holding my face.
I thought she understood and grinned like her.
she nodded and said.
“You idiot, do you think I can’t resist if you attack me?”
“… No, I was afraid that Mr. Sylvia would attack me…”
“…what?”
“no.”
Sylvia-san’s expression hardened in an instant.
I broke out in a cold sweat and made excuses.
“No, that, that’s the same with my futon from last time…”
“hey.”
“Ah, ah, how can I resist if you try to smell me in your sleep?”
“… hey.”
Oh dear.
Sylvia’s expression hardened even more.
I carefully began to open my mouth, choosing a tone that was as polite and trustworthy as possible.
“Oh, since you haven’t interacted with people for a long time, it’s not unusual for you to react sensitively to the warmth or body odor of others… Kuk!”
Her hands gripped my cheeks tightly, forcing me to shut my mouth.
I hurriedly checked her face.
She was blushing up to her ears.
“… this, profit,”
“…uhhh”
I have to tell him to save me, but I can’t open my mouth.
Lila, I think you f*cked up.
“that.”
“…”
“Don’t you remember I said it was just to decide whether or not to wash the duvet?”
“Oooh…”
“If you remember, nod slightly.”
I nodded with all my might.
Of course, my whole body was far weaker than the strength of the fingertips she held lightly.
She spoke in a voice as strong and ferocious as the strength of the grip.
“But why are you mentioning it again? Are you so confident in the smell of your age?”
“Ub…up”
I tried again with all my might to shake my head to the side.
However, her strong hands squeezed my cheeks and forced me to shake them up and down, forcing me to nod.
“…brown?”
“Ho, you’re so confident.”
“Uh… you”
She grinned, her face flushed red, and slowly approached me.
Then he slowly buried his face in the nape of my neck.
“hehehe,”
The tip of Mr. Sylvia’s nose slowly went down to my collarbone as it flicked the nape of my neck.
The hand holding my face slowly loosened up, then grabbed both of my hands like lightning and forcibly pushed me down.
She put her face on my neck, lifted her legs, and sat on top of me.
“Yeah, not bad.”
“Ah, uh, Mr. Sylvia?”
what is this situation
Maybe I’m still dreaming?
Her breath, which she inhaled and then exhaled, touched my skin vividly and shattered.
For some reason, the back of my back was terribly tickled.
I tried to push her body away somehow, but her stone shoulders wouldn’t budge.
Her nose and lips slowly climbed up my neckline.
The tip of her nose cut through my skin like a bush and then slowly dug behind my ear.
“Yes,”
I’ve heard of it sometime.
One of the places where a person’s body odor gathers most strongly is behind the ears.
So no matter how clean you wash your face, if you don’t wash behind your ears, it’s a story that you feel like your body smells bad.
My head swelled up with shame and some unknown shyness, confused between a little haze and urgency, I begged in an excited voice.
“Sylvia… please… stop it…”
Her lips touched my ear lobe.
She slowly brought her lips to my ear and whispered.
The sound of her voice and the sound of hot breath coming from between her lips was so loud that it pierced my brain.
“ash…”
“Ugh,”
“Let’s sleep together.”
let’s sleep together
Does she know what she’s talking about?
Of course, she meant nothing more than kindness to share a good bed with me because my bed looked uncomfortable.
However, is she really unaware that the words in the outside world implicitly, or rather more directly, suggest s*xual activity?
So, is she flirting with me now?
I tried not to let go of reason, forcibly holding on to the view that kept soaring upward.
If I slept with her, wouldn’t this happen every day?
Goosebumps broke out all over my body.
It was scary.
When she tried to kill me, when she sniffed my quilt, we all felt fear, but this time it was a different kind of fear.
The fear that I will go somewhere, that I will never be able to return to who I am now.
I bit my lip and looked down at her.
I don’t see any trace of magical power, but if I was under the magic of a succubus, wouldn’t it be like this.
As I thought about that, I slowly moved my lips.
“…Oh, no.”
She hooked into my ear and blew air into it, then got up and left the bed.
I was looking at her with blank eyes in a cold sweat.
“Okay, what’s your loss?”
She looked away from me and rubbed the tip of her nose with her sleeve.
Her face, which was half covered by her hands and sleeves, was red from the tips of her ears.
Sylvia-san was also embarrassed.
Thinking so, I suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
“Miss Sylvia.”
“…why.”
“You don’t have to do that. I am already in debt to the point where I don’t know how to pay it off.”
“What do you owe…”
“Apart from saving me, it’s thanks to Sylvia that I live in a forest like this without rain or dew.”
“…”
“If the bed is uncomfortable, I’ll find something like a cushioning material on my own. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“…hmm, yes.”
After saying that, Sylvia went into the room and came out with a bow and arrow.
“Are you going hunting?”
“I’ll be back soon. I’m leaving late today, so don’t expect too much.”
“All right. Have a safe trip.”
After saying that, Sylvia-san left the cabin without making eye contact with me.
Just before she closed the door, a small hissing sound was heard.
“…What have I done.”
bang.
“…Iknow, right.”
It seems that people have strange thoughts when they stay up all night.
I slowly got up, hoping that if possible she wouldn’t stay up all night.
Cold sweat broke out on my face, so I lifted my top and wiped my face.
“…ah,”
Sylvia-san’s scent was smeared on the shirt.
I involuntarily sniffed the smell.
