29 – Fallen Death (12)

Eva said it herself, but thought it was bullsh*t.

Kiss, skinship that overlaps lips and lips. An act that is often referred to as an act that can only be done between loved ones.

The lips, the place where breath and food pass. It is an act of overlapping passages that swallow things to maintain life. It is an act of conveying each other’s breath to each other. Do you do that?

The act of overlapping the most exposed and most secret place. The place that looks red after hot blood, the act of overlapping the mucous membrane. It’s an act where you can feel each other’s body temperature most definitely, but this?

That, which is expressed as the most romantic act in all art?

I thought Lillia would deny it. She thought there must be a way to share some special magical power that is only shared among highly educated people.

“…If you and I kiss… You can sleep without worry.”

However, Lillia trampled on Eva’s expectations. She went beyond silently affirming my answer, and even mentioned it herself.

The reddened cheeks reminded me of ripe apples in autumn. Her lips were a fresh, pale pink color. If I bite into that, will I fall asleep like Snow White after eating the poisoned apple? Is it possible to finally get a good night’s sleep?

Unlike fairy tales, in reality kisses don’t wake you up, rather they put you to sleep.

To be honest with Eva, of course she could. It seems difficult because of the many customary notions, holding hands, kissing, or something like physical contact after all. What’s so hard about kissing lips?

‘Yes. Right. There’s nothing difficult.’

She justified herself like that. When she thinks about it, it seems that kissing is nothing but simple skinship.

But there was one question. That was none other than Lilia’s favor. The name of that favor. What Lillia said was obviously friendship. But, what Lillia is saying now requires something beyond her friendship.

“Lilia, weren’t we friends?”

“Eh.. Right…? For now…”

“By the way, is it possible to kiss between friends?”

At least not in his common sense. No matter how different this worldview may be from previous lives, they wanted to share chastity and ethics.

“Da, of course! I’m a witch? Da, da, of course, in a crisis, we should share our magic. A kiss is possible between friends!”

What she said was true. Friendships in witch society are allowed up to kisses. Sharing magic was a natural witch’s unique custom. In fact, she has no qualms about kissing a person of the same s*x, and she even acts first with a little selfishness.

However, her friendships so far have been limited to women.

“Is it common sense to kiss friends in witch society?”

I had never given much thought to whether it was even possible to kiss between friends of the opposite s*x. In the first place, she never imagined that Lilia would ever have a chance to touch a man in her life.

So, now she answered him like this, but Lilia was also confused. Her cheeks were about to burst and her throat was parched. Her head was hot, and so was her body. Her lips were dry and she kept licking her tongue. She glistened as if her luscious lips had been sugar-coated.

“Ah.. That’s right. That’s right. It’s going to consume mana often…”

Eva pondered as she rested her chin on her chin, just like Lillia did earlier. As she ponders it, she seems to have read such a setting as well. When he comes to Rome, he must do as the Romans do. Now that she’s befriended a witch, she’ll need to meet her standards.

“Kissing between friends is possible!”

He concluded without hesitation. Sleep deprivation is due to refusal to think deeply. It is much easier to accept than to argue.

“Uh, yes! I mean? Why, me and Innis kissed before…”

Lilia felt regret when she brought up the story of Innis. She remembered the kiss she had with Innis. Her big dog attitude towards Eva. When she thought of her, something in her conscience ached. I didn’t know why.

Come to think of it, how did you kiss Innis back then? How have you been kissing me?

As her thoughts progressed, her head became a blank slate. Her body trembled It’s like you’re nervous. It’s strange, it’s a light thing that I’ve been doing well with women. When I put him in front of me, my body doesn’t listen. Was kissing that embarrassing?

“Uh.. That, so…”

When Lilia was stuttering at her next words, she felt someone’s body temperature. Unlike myself, it feels slightly cold. It was Iba. His right hand touched the ball. Like the pre-kiss stage, the hand on the cheek, the gaze.

“Ah…”

The thumb that was running down her cheek soon stopped on her lips.

The mischievous Iva gently caressed her lips as if powdering them. The tactile feel was good. It felt like touching jelly. Is this the temperature of Lillia’s blood? Her hottest blood seemed to run down her lips now. It was as hot as I thought.

“Mmm… Ah…”

Lilia accepted it without protesting. Like a formula that is too long to write on a blank sheet of paper, she has too many thoughts to paradoxically think.

“Hmm…”

Lilia bit his thumb. It was an instinctive action, like a baby looking at something once it was nearby. I put it in my mouth and rolled it like a candy, biting it with my teeth, getting annoyed at being so embarrassed again. Iva now went beyond the texture of her skin and even measured her teeth.

I gradually get to know her body as well as her mind.

“Lilia, it hurts.”

“Muh.”

Lilia’s pronunciation as she munched Iva’s fingers was a bit muffled. She was hot not only her lips, her outer skin, but also the temperature inside her body. Eva noticed that her Lillia’s body temperature was quite high. I didn’t know if this was just today or if it was always the case.

“Your body temperature is quite high. Do you have a fever?”

Lillia let go of his thumb, which she was biting on. Then Eva also dropped her hand from her face. As if trying to separate them, the saliva connected them like a chain, and the silver thread finally broke, marking the end of their contact.

“…I don’t know.”

If it was a kiss, would that thread be connected to his lips instead of his thumb now? At the thought, Lilia felt her head heat up at the thought of her further kiss. Pink floated and floated on her pale skin.

Kissing shouldn’t be a shameful act based on common sense, but this is all because of Iva. That guy is weirdly condescending when it comes to kissing, so I’m embarrassed for no reason. It’s only natural among witches, but it’s supposed to be…

Lilia was embarrassed, she said, kicking him in the foot.

“Anyway, let’s do it quickly. That’s it.”

“Kiss?”

“Yes, yes kiss! Hurry up and go to bed.”

“Right now…”

“And why?”

Eva pointed out her window.

The view of the blue sky was all over, and before I knew it, the view of the city began to be seen in the lower right half. A densely packed building and the busy footsteps of even more dense people. A scene of people like white sand.

“We’ve arrived.”

I have arrived at Solusio. The wagon stopped at the settlement before I knew it, and the rattling vibration stopped. Eva got up right away, as if she had no regrets. She raised her body like that, and she lowered her head slightly.

Lilia grabbed Iva by the collar before he could get up and pulled him to herself.

“Let’s continue later tonight.”

He whispered with a red face about to explode. Eva smiled shyly, and Lilia also smiled a little.

I hope the sun goes down quickly today. Eva thought so. Tempted to fall into the water as soon as possible, he awoke slightly from his slumber.

“Guys~ Welcome!”

When we got off the carriage and went to the bus stop, Innis was welcoming us with open arms.

Lilia and I also greeted her, waving her hand.

“Innis! I missed you…”

Lilia’s greeting could not be completed and was interrupted by Innis’s fierce welcome. Innis ran over and hugged me and Lilia at the same time.

“It’s too late…! I was worried!”

“Whoops, I sent you a letter.”

“That’s not enough!”

Innis hugged her tighter. I patted her on the head at her suffocating attack of affection, and silently expressed that I also missed her.

“hehehe…”

Isn’t Innis a large dog that became a human? He didn’t know it well when we first met, but when we get to know each other, he shows a lot of aegyo and affection. If this friend wasn’t a lesbian, I’d probably be mistaken for her liking me. Background knowledge is so important.

“That’s right, our Innis. Did you miss us a lot?”

“Yes!”

“Whoops, cute.”

Lilia thought Innis was cute, too, so she patted her head.

“I was lonely because I had no friends except you guys…”

Oh, what can I do? Me and Lilia have to leave again because of her ordeal. At this point, wouldn’t it be time to consider taking Innis along on the trip? She has so many things she’s sorry for her that her heart is weak. I am such a kind person

Ennis held us tightly once more, and untied his arms. That’s how the long and deep welcome came to an end.

“…Friends? Yes, we were friends…!”

Lilia muttered next to her what she suddenly realized. Then we’ll be friends. We’re chewing gum.

“Lilia, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden? She’s a friend or a stranger?”

I scolded her so much but Lilia didn’t listen to her. She picked up a staff and held it to her own temple.

“Yeah, Lilia Why? Uh… Why Chloride? Just talk.”

Then Innis also responded by placing a finger on my temple.

What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly chlorinated? What are you talking about besides me?

“Huh..? Uh huh. Okay. Keep it a secret?”

As I glared at Lilia with her treacherous gaze, she closed her eyes and turned her head away, avoiding my gaze.

I looked at Innis as well, but she bowed with her apologetic expression and then continued to purr with her fingers at her temples.

“Surely that’s… A big deal. It’s going to be tough.”

I realized that bullying is established with only three people. Yes, friends of the same s*x are much better than friends of the opposite s*x. Discriminate against people like that. Bad bastards.

I can understand, since there will be stories that can only be shared among same-s*x friends. It’s been a long time since I haven’t met you, and I’m sure you’re one of the few people Lilia can solve. He’s suffered among witches for a while, so he must want to release his canvas.

But can’t we do it later? Why now am i lonely

“Uh… Uh… Uh??”

Anything Lillia had heard, Ennis looked at me and Lillia with a rather puzzled expression.

“Uh… What???”

Then he looked at me with a more bewildered expression than before.

“…Yes, I will.”

It was a face that was red even to the ears, a face with a deep red like the sun at sunset. As soon as my eyes met hers, she jerked her eyes away from her. Maybe the secret story was about bullying someone. It’s strange. Apparently they seemed pretty friendly.

Lillia put her wand back in, and she turned to me with a smile on her face. It was a mischievous smile.

“Okay, we’re done talking.”

“What did you say?”

“Your story.”

“You’ve been talking behind your back.”

“It’s a b*tch.”

“Bad b*tches.”

As she always jokes around, her awkwardness in the carriage seems to have gone away.

“I-I’ll buy you something delicious. I’m not trying to do anything bad, can you believe me…?”

“I’m kidding. You may have secrets that you must tell in front of me. Well then.”

I spoke with a lot of sarcasm, and moved my feet ahead of my companions and headed for the restaurant. Well, in reality, she must have just said what Lillia thought. He is a child with great execution power, so if he decides on something, he will start acting quickly. That’s why I mentioned the idea of kissing right away to get me to sleep. Her high level of action is usually her strength, but sometimes she acts inconsiderately like this.

“Everything is good for you.”

“Is that so?”

Lilia started walking right next to me, as if she didn’t feel sorry at all. She still has no shame Innis also came to my side at some point and began walking discreetly with her head bowed.

“…What is it?”

A man who walks among popular couplings in the original work. If fans saw it, I would have been sentenced to death.

After imagining things like that, I slowly walked down the street, holding on to my drowsiness.

**

After a hearty dinner with Lillia and Innis, I went back to the inn to rest. The chairman handed over the money as a gift for the trip, and we were able to get a pretty good room.

The high view overlooking the city proved this. The scenery outside the window is a sky where not a single star can be seen, and the lights of the buildings lit up by themselves by taking the starlight instead. The window, which contained the light and darkness, became a mirror, and I could clearly see my face. Thick dark circles. Traces of not being able to sleep.

To be honest, it’s amazing how I’ve been able to keep my spirits up until now. Just by walking, the spirit rises. My vision is all dizzy, and a strange feeling of floating covers my body as if I have fallen into water. The reason I couldn’t handle my work properly last time was because I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep, so I became this mess. I can’t even think like I normally do.

But not today. I won’t prove that I’m awake at night like the lights outside the window now.

“Lilia isn’t coming soon…”

She’ll give her a kiss, she’ll soothe her body while I sleep.

I felt like the night before the outing, so I couldn’t keep my body still. I swayed my legs back and forth, enjoying the time it took for her to come.

– Smart.

There were two knocks at the door. It’s Lilia.

I ran out with a tabi. He slammed her door open and greeted her with her wide smile.

“Lilia! You’re here… Huh?”

By the way, the number of people outside the door was strange. Behind Lillia, a human figure shimmered. The person grabs the hem of his skirt and trembles in front of the door with his head down. Not because it was cold, but because it was too hot.

“…The more mana you have, the surer it is, isn’t it? I’ll sleep for at least half a day, but wouldn’t it be troublesome to wake up in the middle due to lack of mana?”

“So, I really mean it.”

“I thought it would be less embarrassing if it was two people rather than alone.”

I’m so dumbfounded that I couldn’t even say the words properly. Let’s take care of our emotions, and let’s try to object.

The woman behind Lilia, Ennis blocked her from saying that.

“Okay, it’s okay! I’m fine! It’s what I did with Lilia too!”

I feel like I have a headache. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t sleep. I guess so.

“So… If you do… It’s okay.”

Inis still couldn’t make eye contact with me, and patted her lips as she stroked them.

Suddenly, I ended up kissing two women who were originally kissing each other at the same time.

This is all because I couldn’t sleep.
