After what we did with Shinhō.
Reluctantly, but true to our agreement, we stopped at one additional round and set off for home.
“I’m sorry, Sōsuke… would it be alright if I asked you to rearrange my storage?”
Before we started on the road home.
There seemed to be something she needed to do first.
Looking at Shinhō, her shirt was stuck to her body from the sweat generated during our act, with her underwear and skin clearly visible through the fabric.
It was a rather fine sight to behold, but she mustn’t catch a cold.
I had grown accustomed to this as well; I could now store items while they were still on the wearer’s body.
While I couldn’t snatch anything that was being gripped tightly in someone’s hand, I could store clothing that was merely touching the skin.
Similarly, using the placement function, it was possible to dress someone.
In a speed that was literally no longer than a blink, I performed the storage rearrangement of Shinhō’s clothes.
Including her panties, which had been in quite a state due to being soaked through.
“Mm… Ah, thank you. That’s an amazing technique.”
Shinhō said, blushing.
“Ahaha, I’ve just gotten used to it.”
Just to be safe, I did the same for myself.
Like a glitch in the game, her clothes vanished for a split second before snapping back into place.
“Shall we head home?”
“Yes.”
Kamimune nodded and slid right up next to me, wrapping her arms around my right arm as if hugging it.
I could feel the press of her breasts against my arm.
I felt her body heat and scent radiating from beside me.
”…Is that okay?”
“No, honestly, you becoming so proactive is making my heart race.”
“Oh… I’m glad you feel that way.”
Kamimune, the usually serious and earnest chairwoman, remained true to herself while growing softer and sweeter.
The fact that I was the lover of a girl like that felt like a stroke of luck so great it made my head spin.
Moreover, I had several lovers just as extraordinary.
“Oh! That’s right. I learned a new magic spell.” “Really? Is that so?”
“Yes. They’re called ‘Freeze’ and ‘Thunder Lance,’ both of which are intermediate-tier spells.”
“Huh, impressive. So one freezes the enemy, and the other launches a lance of lightning?”
“Exactly right.”
Freeze seemed like it could take out weaker enemies outright, while also serving to slow down stronger foes.
I suspect “Thunder Lance” adds a sense of penetration to the lightning strike.
“I’ll be counting on you from here on out.”
“Leave it to me.”
Shinhou smiled with visible delight before blushing and starting to fidget nervously.
Wondering what was wrong, I watched her as she looked up at me through her lashes and asked in a high-pitched voice,
“Since I’ve been such a great help, will you give me another reward…?”
How utterly adorable this little creature is.
If this were a manga, there would surely be a visual effect of an arrow piercing straight through my heart.
“Of course. If Shinhou performs well enough that we end up alone together, that’s a reward for me, too.”
To live up to her courage, I nodded with an exaggerated amount of force.
◇
We arrived safely in front of the base.
It is strange that from outside the barrier, it looks like nothing but an open field stretches before you.
We residents can pass through the barrier without any obstruction.
For a brief moment, I felt a peculiar sensation, like sinking into water, and then the base spread out before me.
“Welcome back.”
“I’m home.”
I had become accustomed to Roa’s greeting.
I am curious about how she senses our return, but I feel too intimidated to ask.
“My master, Your Ladyship Yona is waiting in her chambers.”
“Ah, I see. Thank you. I’ll go see her now.”
“Your Majesty Fukaho, Senryu has called for you. Apparently, she wants a report on the specifics of your reward.”
“Oh… so that’s how it is. Understood.”
We passed through the genkan, changed into our indoor slippers, and parted ways on the second floor.
“Then, see you at dinner.”
“Yes, thank you truly for today’s help.”
“You’re welcome.”
With a restrained smile, Fukaho knocked on Senryu’s door. The door opened, and she disappeared inside.
I went to knock on the door of Yona’s room as well.
Before long, the door opened, and her arm shot out toward me.
It was that same slightly forceful way she had pulled me into her barrier in the past.
Without resisting, I stepped inside and stared at her in shock.
No, at them, I should say.
Miyao, the girl from the volleyball club, was also in the room.
And both Serina and Miyao had grown cat ears and tails.
“Huh? Ah, ahhh…! It’s Miyao’s ‘Transformation Ability’!”
Realizing it with a few seconds’ delay, I shouted that out involuntarily.
To a guy like me, Seri placed her hand beside her face, curling her fingers like a cat, and said.
“You’re telling me nya~”
The cat-speak of a goth-loli girl possessed an absolutely devastating power.
“W-W-It seems my ability has grown too… I figured out that if I have the other person’s permission, I can let them ‘transform’ for a short while after touching them… nyaa~”
Miyao crouched in on herself and her voice went high-pitched, but she continued following Serina’s lead.
I learned that the cat-speak of a long-legged beauty blushing from embarrassment was quite potent as well.
While my heart was pierced by the fierce double punch, my chest swelled with anticipation for what might happen next.
“It’s just as Souke imagines. Please shower us with lots of affection. Like how you pamper cats.”
My throat made a swallowing sound.
“Is it okay… even for Miyao?”
Miyao turned bright red but nodded.
“You might have already guessed, but i-i’m also… I like Sōsuke, b-because…”
Caught up in her emotion, I found myself blushing too.
Being met with such straightforward affection is something that always makes my chest flutter, no matter how many times it happens. It’s hard to get used to.
On this island, being allowed to accept all of that… is a wonderful thing. It should be.
I really ought to start actively feeling the same way. “Ah, thank you. That makes me happy.”
“Yeah, you spoke up well for once. But since it’s impossible for you to approach Sōsuke alone, we’re doing this as a set. Isn’t that perfect, meow?”
“Of course not. Yorina and Miyooo… they’re really cute.”
“Sōsuke’s pet cats. Look, I want you to dote on them, nya~?”
Yorina leaned into me eagerly, completely up for the bit.
“I’m coming too!”
Miyooo approached as well, having apparently made up her mind.
Just as Fukuba said, today was going to be a busy one.
I apologize for the late update!
The next regular update will be on the 19th.
The patch might take a while,
but it will definitely be carried out.
Also, I’ve heard that sales for the second volume of the book edition are doing well at this point.
Thank you!!
I look forward to your continued support!
