chapter 21
21 – Sleeping (7)
*
Sylvia took Ash onto the bed and quickly let go.
Ash’s delicate body was thrown onto the bed without much resistance.
“Oh my!”
Ash was sprawled on the bed, making a sound like a frog being stepped on.
The top was torn apart by the centrifugal force, and the thin collarbone was exposed defenselessly.
Sylvia climbed on top of Ash as if a carnivore was attacking him before he could get up.
As she pushed her arms close to the sides of Ash’s head, Ash’s face remained fixed on Sylvia.
Sylvia looked down at Ash without blinking.
Her red eyes turned to Ash’s red eyes, and Ash’s red eyes to Sylvia’s red eyes.
Sylvia’s platinum blonde hair covered the empty space where each other’s gazes were entangled like a curtain.
Inside the curtain of her hair, their faces were so close that they could barely breathe.
Ash tried to avert his gaze, but Sylvia’s tightly held arms prevented him from doing so.
Ash spoke cautiously to Sylvia in a voice that was half surprised and half resigned.
“excuse me…”
“…”
“…Can you move away?”
“…why?”
Sylvia smiled softly at Ash’s request and asked back.
Her demeanor was so imposing that Ash felt his face heat up with embarrassment.
It is burdensome to look at her eyes.
Even if he wanted to turn his face away, Sylvia’s arms were firmly fixing Ash’s face, so Ash answered while rolling his gaze eagerly.
“Yeah… You’re attacking me right now.”
“Resist if you don’t like it.”
“…how do I beat Sylvia-san?”
Sylvia-san giggled.
The breath that was cut short in time with the sound of laughter touched Ash’s lips.
Sylvia whispered, narrowing her eyes.
“that’s right. You can’t even shake me off.”
“Uh… isn’t it?”
Anxiety flickered in Ash’s eyes.
Ash, who belatedly realized the fear of the forest thanks to having almost been chased by a bear a moment ago, could no longer sleep peacefully listening to the sounds flowing from the forest in the middle of the night.
I felt like I could clearly see myself who would spend the night shaking and with open eyes.
If that happened, it was clear that his day and night would be completely reversed and irreversible.
At that moment, Ash remembered Sylvia’s proposal a few days ago.
More than a bear… No, I would be able to sleep safely next to her, who is probably the strongest single entity in the forest.
With that thought in mind, he knocked on Sylvia’s door.
However, Ash overlooked it.
The fact that he couldn’t get away from the bear, there was little chance of him escaping from her attack.
It was only now, at this moment, that Ash realized that fact.
“therefore…”
“Uh, no way, no?”
“ash.”
“Yes, huh?”
Sylvia’s face gradually lowered.
Ash looked at her face as it got closer.
A face with narrowed eyes, a smile that gives goosebumps somewhere, and at the same time, somewhere very seductive.
It looked like this even when Sylvia put her nose in Ash’s nape and sniffed it.
Her lips brushed Ash’s cheeks and came close to his ears.
“Wow?”
Sylvia whispered in Ash’s ear with a sweet voice full of breathing.
“therefore…”
“Aww”
“Let’s train.”
“…yes?”
Sylvia smiled and stroked Ash’s face.
His flustered face was very cute, but if you tease him any further, he might pass out with a nosebleed.
Seeing his red face as if it were about to burst at any moment, Sylvia thought she should stop teasing him.
She lifted her upper body and slowly ran her fingertips across Ash’s upper body.
“You won’t be able to live in this forest with a body like this.”
“…Uh-uh.”
“I should have expected this to happen, but I didn’t. It gives me goosebumps when I think of how defenselessly you’ve been wandering the forest until now.”
“Ah… er,”
Ash still hovered.
“You are so cute.”
“Wow,”
Sylvia felt that the bundles of patience in her heart were being cut into chunks.
Wait, if I attack Ash like this, won’t he have one more powerful reason to not leave this forest?
Suddenly, Sylvia’s lips dried up.
Sylvia looked at Ash, slowly licking her lips with her moist tongue.
Ash was rolling his eyes frantically like a man with a broken brain, trying somehow to avoid Sylvia’s alluring face.
Sylvia smiled and resigned herself.
That’s something I can’t decide on my own.
In fact, even Sylvia herself didn’t like it right now.
She still had a girlish sensibility of wanting to share her first experience with someone who completely loved each other.
At least seeing as he came to this room on his own, Ash probably didn’t like me, but I wasn’t sure yet.
He was so cute that he was immune to even this much stimulation, and I wanted to play more with him, but I didn’t want to forcibly commit him, abandoning my virginity to keep him from rejecting me.
I’d rather have his ankle cut off.
Sylvia smiled and shook Ash’s shoulder lightly.
“Ash, calm down.”
“Ah, yes”
“Have you ever cast magic on a bear?”
“Uh… no. I couldn’t.”
“Because you’re a wizard.”
“I-I wasn’t in the mood for that…”
“Huh…”
Ash muttered in a crawling voice.
“I’m not good at magic… I need concentration to use magic. They say that such a skill as firing magic while being chased by a bear is impossible.”
“Huh,”
Sylvia sighed at Ash’s excuse.
Ash groaned.
“…Not everyone is as talented as Sylvia.”
“I don’t have any magic talent either.”
“yes?”
Ash looked at her with an expression wondering what this meant.
Is it a case of a genius not grasping all his talents?
Ash thought so and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Sylvia poked the tip of Ash’s nose with her finger and said,
“Do you think I am a lump of talent?”
“…You’re a warrior, aren’t you?”
Sylvia let out a deep sigh.
“I can only use a few basic magics.”
“Eh?”
“Do you also use basic magic?”
“…is that obvious…?”
“I’m terribly untalented in magic, so I couldn’t even do that. I couldn’t use magic until I graduated from the academy, and I gritted my teeth and learned it during the journey to subjugate him.”
Ash looked at her with a surprised expression.
I honestly didn’t expect it.
Certainly, the only magic she’s ever seen so far has been to create fire and ice.
It was certainly a level that even Ash could do.
“Wait a minute, you threw a fireball at the bear, didn’t you?”
Fireball was a popular magic, but it was never a basic magic.
Sylvia said with a smile.
“It made fire in the palm of my hand and then threw it.”
“…yes?”
“That’s a fireball.”
“Magic… no, so you threw fire?”
The magic that flew so fast that it made a popping sound on the bear’s body from a long distance away, was it simply throwing fire?
No, more than that, how do you throw fire?
Ash was confused.
“Uh, I don’t understand.”
“hehehe, right. Even Maria was dumbfounded when she saw that.”
“Maria?”
“Ah, that’s the name of my best colleague. He is a friend and teacher who taught me how to use even basic magic.”
Ash suddenly shut his mouth.
Maria.
Maria Staff.
Undoubtedly, Ash knew the name that came out of Sylvia’s mouth all too well.
Maria’s sister.
It was definitely Ash’s older sister.
Sylvia looked at Ash, who had suddenly become quiet, and spoke to him.
“…ash?”
“Did you…?”
“…huh.”
Ash kept his mouth shut and bit his tongue so Sylvia wouldn’t notice.
Let’s not ask.
maybe she’ll notice
Sylvia’s temptation keeps puzzling Ash.
Ash knew that this was just a joke.
A look she could never have imagined when she was ‘Mr. Millwood’ with her face wrapped tightly.
Perhaps this playful mischief is Sylvia’s original personality.
Her true self has been buried in her memories for the past few years because she has no one to reveal.
So, I shouldn’t have made her notice.
If she knew that she was Maria’s sister, she would feel guilty again.
Ash swallowed the urge to ask about her down his throat along with the blood in his mouth.
“…Ash, what’s wrong?”
Ash partly burst into tears and opened his mouth to reveal his bloody tongue.
“Oh, I bit my tongue.”
“Hey, it’s cute.”
*
Sylvia rose from Ash’s body.
“I’m going to change into my pajamas.”
“Uh… I’ll be out.”
“There you are.”
“…yes?”
“there is.”
“… no, why?”
Sylvia looked at Ash with narrow eyes in silence.
Ash lowered his head and covered his eyes with both hands.
“Okay, I’ll close my eyes.”
“Whoops, yes.”
Ash wondered if she was thinking of him as a pet.
clap, clap,
Sound of loosening scabbard belt
sigh, squeak,
The sound of cloth rubbing against the skin.
Ash wondered why blindfolded listening seemed to make him feel even weirder.
slippery,
There was the sound of the robe that wrapped around her body falling to the wooden floor.
Now, is she naked?
I could vividly feel the heat on my hot face in the hand that was covering my face and eyes.
“Aren’t you watching?”
“no!”
“okay? Even your ears are all red.”
“That’s a cow… sound.”
“…What is the sound?”
“no…”
Sylvia giggled at Ash.
“Ash, listen with your eyes closed.”
“yes.”
“At first glance, your body is not ready to use a sword or bow. So, for now, training to build a body and magic training will be combined.”
“Uh… I understand training, but how are you going to teach me magic training?”
“It’s simple, I’ll chase you, and you use magic while running away.”
“yes?”
“I’ll throw ice at the boat every time I get caught.”
Her strength was such that the massive bear could be knocked out with just a hurling of massless fire.
Then, if you throw ice…?
“Am I dying?”
“If you don’t want to die, learn. I learned that way.”
Ash wondered if his sister had trained Sylvia that way.
Unexpectedly, did she have a strict side?
No, the older sister Ash remembered did a lot of practical jokes, but she wasn’t strict.
Oh, I see.
That much is nothing more than a prank in a warrior’s party.
Ash suddenly felt what a great person his sister was.
As a colleague of Mr. Sylvia, he went to the extent of going to subdue the demon lord, so I thought that he must have been a great magician, but it was a different feeling when I experienced it myself like this.
At least in Ash’s eyes, Sylvia was a strong person on a different level.
“I wore them all. You can open your eyes now.”
“Yes- eh?”
Ash rolled back in surprise and fell onto the bed.
“Ash, are you okay?”
“Sylvia!”
“Why?”
“You’re not wearing clothes!”
Sylvia was naked.
He fell backwards trying to turn his face and gaze as quickly as possible, but in that brief moment Ash’s optic nerves captured Sylvia’s entire body.
The face that bit the lower lip on the cheek that was hot as if it was embarrassing while wearing a mischievous smile expecting the opponent to be surprised.
Firmly widened shoulders and strongly protruding collarbones visible through the rustling hair,
She covered it with one arm as if it was a minimum of shame, but her voluptuous breasts bulged out from the top and bottom of her arm as it was crushed by that arm and slightly crushed.
Beneath it, clearly widened abs and external oblique muscles with large scars.
Fortunately, the pants were worn underneath.
Like a camera, her image remained as a clear afterimage in Ash’s retina.
“Oh, why is that, really?”
“Hmm, didn’t you like this? The subject of trying to spy on me taking a bath naked and living here sitting down.”
“Oh, so that’s…”
In Ash’s mind, the image of Mr. Sylvia he saw by the river that day came to mind.
She looked like a fairy as she bathed in the river under the moonlight.
“…At that time, I didn’t know you were going to take a bath.”
“Hmm, is it real? this pervert.”
“Pervert is Sylvia-san.”
“It’s not? Did I forget to sleep without wearing a top?”
“lie. Last time…”
“Let’s take it off once in two days.”
“No, what the hell is that…”
“Hi-Hi”
Sylvia giggled and put on her pajamas top.
Seeing Ash’s bewilderment, I thought I should stop, but for some reason I couldn’t stop wanting to tease him one more time.
Sylvia turned her back to Ash, who had closed her eyes for some reason.
“Okay, now I’m really all dressed up.”
“…really?”
“Don’t you know when you see it?”
Essie poked her head out from the back of the bed and cautiously opened her eyes as a year old.
Certainly, Sylvia-san was even wearing a pajama top.
Ash was relieved and slowly climbed onto the bed.
“…Huh, because I feel like my heart is going to drop. Stop playing around like that.”
“Okay”
“I don’t know about Sylvia, but I…”
“you also?”
“… no.”
I’m a man too. If I said something like that, I’d be laughed at for some reason, so Ash kept his mouth shut.
How many men can show off their manliness in front of Sylvia, but if I were to rank them at least, I would probably be in the bottom 10%.
Ash looked at Sylvia while thinking about that.
Sylvia slowly turned around.
She had the front of her jacket wide open, with none of the buttons fastened.
“Aww!”
“lol”
