Book 8: Chapter 4: Wives on the Go (3/9)

Merdie and Luna were teleported by Halt to Vestier, the Kingdom of the Beastkin.

They hurriedly walked towards the Martial Shrine, where the Martial God was enshrined.

“Merdie, is it okay that we don’t greet His Majesty first?”

Luna asked, because it had been a while since Merdie returned to her home country, and yet she didn’t even go to her Father who was the Beastkin King first.

‘We don’t have much time, so the greeting Dad can wait after we’re done with our business here, meow.”

“I-is that so.”

“Yup, meow. In the first place, there’s no way an amazing grimoire is being kept at the palace where Dad is, so it’s meaningless to go there, meow.”

“It’s the King’s Palace, and yet.. Are there any Treasured Books there?”

“None, meow. Beastkin are mostly muscle-brained folks, so most of them don’t even read books in the first place.”

Merdie wasn’t really a studious person when compared to her classmates.

However, even if she was like that, she had already gone through several grimoires in order to prepare for her exams.

She was a diligent person, an existence that was quite rare among the beastkin. It couldn’t be said that Merdie’s was low, either.

Her grades were good enough to land her among the top performers of the same year level. However, because the rest of her class topped the academy’s overall performance rankings — which also included the upperclassmen — her scholastic achievements might seem relatively low compared to them. 

Merdie was a beastkin who happened to have an aptitude for an occupation that would use magic, so the fact that she had read all the books kept inside the Vestier Castle was proof enough that she had desperately struggled in order to become stronger.

“There’s no other place in this country that had the possibility of holding some clue regarding Bunshin Magic except the Martial God’s Shrine, meow. That’s why it would have been better for you to tag along Leaffa instead of me… sorry, meow.”

“It’s fine. It’s been a while since we went out with only the two of us, so I’m happy.”

Luna and Merdie would stay in the same room every time their class would go to another country. They would always sleep together in one bed during those times.

Luna loved sleeping with other people, so she loved Merdie because she invited Luna to sleep with her.

“Are you okay being with me, meow?”

“Yes. I really love Merdie.”

Luna smiled gently, and Merdie thought she was too adorable.

“I-I also really love Luna, meow!”

“Ahahah, it tickles, Merdie.”

Merdie hugged Luna and licked her cheek.

Her slightly coarse tongue was quite comfortable, so Luna kept on laughing.

“Luna, I wanna…consult you about something, meow.”

Merdie let go of Luna, then she said these words with slightly flushed cheeks. 

“What is it about?”

“Right now, we are all moving together so that we can increase the nights we can sleep with Halt, meow. But, there will come a time when…it will not be just plain sleeping…”

“T-that’s”

Luna understood what Merdie wanted to say.

A blush started to creep up her cheeks, too, dyeing her face red.

“I don’t have any experience in that thing, so if it’s possible… that’s… I want to be with Luna when Halt and I are going to do it for the first time, meow.”

“T-together with me!? B-but, I don’t have any experience with that, too.”

“I-I’m scared to do it alone, meow. If…Luna is with me, I think it’ll be okay.”

Merdie pinched the sleeve of Luna’s robe.

Her hand was shaking.

“You don’t want to, Luna meow?”

As expected of a cat beastkin.

She’s too good at asking to be pampered.

She said those words with teary eyes, so there was no way Luna could refuse her.

“… I understand. If Halt agrees, then let’s do it together.”

“Really, meow!?”

“Yes. If I can do it together with Merdie… then… ahm, I’m also happy.”

“I-it’s a promise! Luna and I will be together when we’re going to do it with Halt, meow!”

“W-wait, Merdie. Please do not say that with such a loud voice~”

Even if there was no one around them, broadcasting their night activity was still embarrassing, so Luna’s face turned a deeper shade of scarlet.

“Sorry, meow. But, I feel more courageous now that we decided to do so, meow! We must make that Bunshin Magic first so we can get used to sleeping with Halt, first, meow.”

“Y-yes!”

Merdie gripped Luna’s hand and they started to walk.

Actually, both Luna and Merdie were nervous whenever they slept beside Halt, and there were a lot of times when they couldn’t sleep at all till morning.

It couldn’t be helped, since it hadn’t been long since they were included in the rotation for sleeping together with Halt.

However, if they continued with this situation, they might miss their chance if Halt happened to be in the mood to do that.

Luna and Merdie wanted to create that Bunshin Magic so that they could get used to sleeping together with Halt.

They held hands as they headed towards the Martial God’s Shrine in order to search for a clue related to this matter.
