Having arranged the accommodations in the 'Disciplinary Committee Office' so well, Emilia believed the best person to call for renovating the heroine's room would of course be her elder sister.
Samantha frowned when she heard her little sister's request over the phone. "Mhm? A super soft bed?"
She had already been considering changing the one in Emilia's room to something that wouldn't be as prone to giving the girl back problems in the future.
The only reason she hadn't already done so was because sleeping in Emilia's bed was like sleeping together with Emilia, and Sam couldn't bear replacing it with something else until her little sister got back to sleep with her.
"W-Well, are you sure you want a super soft one? A good bed should have some firmness to it, so it can properly support your body while you rest, you know? Big sister is worried you will suffer from back problems in the future—"
Emilia obviously didn't seem to think the same way, however. "Don't worry, Sam, it's impossible for me to get back problems! Ahh…! Don't tell me you're suffering like that because of sleeping in my bed?"
It was only natural for Emilia to think so once Sam pointed it out, given that she already knew where the older girl slept every night.
"U-Uh, no…?"
"Oh… I was thinking I could give you a massage if you did. It's good that you don't—"
"AHHH! My back! It's broken! I think my spine just snapped!"

Emilia giggled after assuring her elder sister that she would be giving her a luxurious massage later, and it didn't take long before the new equipment arrived at Crystal's home.
Mrs. Miller could only follow the installation Crew in confusion, and looking at her daughter's friend covering the girl's ears carefully to make sure the sounds didn't disturb her, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated in her heart.
She shook her head in amusement when the girl gave her a naughty smile, as if daring her to protest against the new furniture that was being brought in.
Having taught her cooking for a while, she was a little familiar with how naughty this little girl was. But she couldn't deny that it was heartwarming how the obviously prideful girl treated her so closely and with respect, just for being Crystal's mother.
She couldn't help but sigh. It hadn't been that long when she thought her poor Crystal would always be without friends. Who knew that she had such talent for wooing young, beautiful girls?
The mature woman shook her head ruefully. 'Don't tell me she just never felt her previous peers were worthy?'
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Both of her daughter's lovers were definitely a cut above what she had seen before, having lived a mostly mundane life herself.
It was likely that if her daughter had too high a standard, she had never felt the need to pursue anything with people she considered unworthy.
Mrs. Miller couldn't help but feel conflicted. 'S-Should I talk to her? This is not the right attitude to have, right? Even if she thinks they're cute, it's not right to rope them all in like this.'
Not to mention Dixie, Emilia was a haughty little princess who had probably been pampered since the moment she was born, and had most of the White Deer Corporation in the palm of her hand.
Even if such a girl indulged her daughter due to being overwhelmed with feelings in her youth, how long could she continue being just one of her many lovers?
The thought of her daughter being hurt, and hurting her closest friends, all due to not being clear in her mind of what she should and shouldn't do, gave Mrs. Miller pause.
It was her duty to educate her daughter, wasn't it?
But since she didn't want to mess everything up, Mrs. Miller decided that she would have to educate herself first before she went about educating her daughter.

Crystal felt like she just had the longest, deepest, most peaceful slumber of her life. Even when she woke up, her mind still felt pleasantly hazy, and it took her a while to start recalling her dream.
Almost immediately, her face flushed red like a tomato, and it only got worse when she realized that it wasn't a dream, but had really happened.
One look at the clock told her that it was only six in the evening, and Crystal wondered if Emilia had left after tucking her in bed.
"Wait a minute… why is the bed so soft?"
Blinking in confusion, the heroine slipped out of the warm blanket, her bare feet landing on a fresh, luxurious carpet that definitely hadn't been there before.
"This… is not my bed?"
Not only was it over twice the size of what she had before, the mattress was also almost three times as thick! No wonder she had felt like she'd been sleeping on clouds!
But this was definitely her own room!
"I-I guess Emilia must have gotten all of it changed?"
It wouldn't be the first time Emilia just whimsically did something that seemed unnecessary or absurd.
The blonde girl scratched her head in confusion. "Where is she anyway? Don't tell me she left already?"
Thinking about how frequently Emilia had been absent recently, Crystal couldn't help but pout.
She knew she was being unreasonable and spoiled, given how much attention Emilia already showered her with, but hadn't their relationship moved up by another level now?
Thinking about how intimate they had been before, Crystal felt her cheeks flush in both joy and embarrassment.
Covering her red face with her hands, the heroine giggled. "I can't believe we did all that!"
The sound of the doorknob being turned startled the blushing girl out of her thoughts, and she turned around in a panic only to see the girl she had been dreaming about enter with a tray full of tea and snacks.
Although she had been giddy in her heart, when she really came face to face with her crush after doing all those embarrassing things, Crystal couldn't bring herself to look her in the eye at all.
In fact, now that she thought about it… didn't she just enjoy their first time being intimate together all by herself?
Faced with the sudden realization, Crystal tried her best to sift through her memories, but it really seemed like that was the case!
Not only did she make Emilia serve and please her like that, she hadn't even done anything in return before going to sleep!
In contrast to the mortified heroine, Emilia's smile was relaxed and gentle as she placed the tray on the bed. "I knew you were gonna wake up soon when you started stirring, and your mom told me you hadn't had lunch, so I made the evening snacks a little heavier, okay?"
The heroine could only nod in embarrassment as she picked up one of the cake slices. 'F-Forget it, next time we do it, I-I'll definitely make her happy! N-No, if she gives me another chance, I have to make her the happiest girl in the world!'
As for how to go about doing that… Crystal had no idea. She realized some research was in order, but thinking about looking up that kind of stuff while Emilia was innocently presenting her with home-baked cake, the heroine only felt like a pervert.
Shaking her head as she took her first bite of the layered chocolate cake, Crystal firmed her resolve in her mind. 'It's better to be a pervert if it helps me keep Emilia happy in bed, anyway… Whoa, she's gotten really good at this, huh?'
Having sampled Emilia's baking almost every day, Crystal was of course familiar with the subtle improvements in the girl's craft. Not only the texture, the flavor had also been improved considerably since the day she started, and Crystal never thought Emilia did poorly on her first try.
Everything from the fragrance to the texture seemed to have been done just right, and Crystal could only lament at her ever-increasing weight. 'Ever since she started feeding me, I've already gained four pounds!'
Having observed her figure closely in the mirror every day, Crystal hadn't found any embarrassing 'improvements' yet, but she didn't believe it would take long before it started showing up.
With Emilia's attitude, she was sure to tease and pinch her endlessly the moment she noticed it.
Crystal shook her head vehemently. 'N-No! From tomorrow, I have to start jogging!'
"What's wrong? Why are you shaking your head?"
Looking at her crush tilting her head innocently, Crystal gulped. Given that it was impossible to tell her such embarrassing things, the heroine could only wave her hands and change the topic. "I-I was just wondering what happened to the bed and carpet?"
Emilia giggled. She had initially wanted to tease the heroine for wetting the bed, but thinking of how embarrassed the girl already was, Emilia decided to spare her for now. "You should have just asked. Actually, I was thinking of getting the bed changed for a while now, and this just seemed like the perfect time. You don't mind, right?"
"O-Of course not!"
Looking at the adorable heroine, Emilia smiled as she leaned over the tray to give her a peck on the lips. "Good girl, so obedient."
Crystal unconsciously followed her as she retreated, only to be pushed back with a giggle. "Let's not ruin our new mattress so quickly, alright?"
The blonde girl's face turned red, her spine straight and stiff as a board, and it took her almost a full minute to realize that Emilia was just talking about spilling the tea on the tray.
In her embarrassment, the heroine could only continue munching on the snacks, completely forgetting about her previous resolution to reduce weight.
