「Elt. Ehehehehe」

Serena heard Alicia talking in her sleep, and her shallow, stagnant consciousness came to the surface.

When she opened her eyelids, she saw that starlight was shining in from outside. It was dim, but not so dim that she couldn’t see what was going on in the room.

She looked to her side and saw Alicia asleep with a happy look on her face, hugging Serena.

「…Jeez. You’re sleeping well.」

It was a little hard to breathe as she was being held against her chest as if she was being crushed. Serena realized that it was probably because of this that she had been awakened.

Serena squeezed Alicia’s breasts without hesitation. It was not as big as Marie’s but close to it, and her fingers sank into it.

「Ya, Ah, ah」

The softness was so comfortable that Serena was rubbing Alicia’s breasts in a daze, partly because she was waking up from sleep.

「I wonder what the human race’s food is like. I don’t know what they eat to grow so well….」

The Elven woman’s breasts were not that big. Her’s are not the biggest in the village, but they are proportional enough to be counted from the top.

「Ah, but Alice’s weren’t too big, right? Maybe that girl is the norm.」

When I was harvesting status-enhancing fruits during the day, I checked her style as she was climbing a tree in light clothing, and although she was definitely bigger than me, she was completely outshone by Alicia. (italics)

When she was thinking about that…….

「Don’t Elt~. Everyone is here.」

Alicia’s voice oozes joy as she speaks words of rejection.

She moves her hands and wraps them around Serena’s back, letting out a feverish exhale and opening her eyes briefly.

「…Serena, what are you doing?」

Alicia’s eyes widened as she realized that it wasn’t Elt that she hugged.

「You hear me, Serena? Don’t just casually rub my breasts just because we’re girls.」

Alicia was lecturing Serena on the bed as she blushed and shielded her body.

「I’m sorry. Alicia hugged me while I was sleeping, so I just touched you a little.」

「Uu, I know that’s bad… I can’t sleep well unless I’m hugging something.」

Serena thought Alicia’s shy attitude was cute. At the same time, she wondered if Elt’s preference was for this kind of woman who would want to protect him.

「Well, if it’s for me, it’s totally fine.」

It was painful to feel the pressure on her chest when she was hugged from the front, but there was no way she could carry a stuffed animal around with her on her journey. I’d gladly give myself to Elt if he wouldn’t hold me, Serena thought.

「I’m happy about that. I’m not really into that side of things?」

Alicia gave her a somewhat suspicious look in response.

「I don’t either. I just think your breasts are so big that I wonder what you eat to make them that way.」

「Yeah? But it’s not that good to have them big, though? Men will give you funny looks.」

Alicia said and lifted her breasts to show them. Alicia then lifted her breasts and showed them to Serena, who stared in disgust…….

「Speaking of which, where’s Elt?」

Serena looked around the room and noticed that Elt was not there.

「Huh? Maybe he’s in the bathroom?」

Alicia noticed this and looked around the room.

「It doesn’t look like Alice is here either?」

Serena wondered if the two of them were out together. Alice had always treated Elt well, and there was no doubt that she had a sort of fondness for him.

「I guess Alice and Elt don’t have to worry about anything attacking them.」

Alicia looked relieved. She did not think that Alice was looking at Elt that way.

「Hey, Alicia. Aren’t you too optimistic?」

Alice was not only an attractive woman in Serena’s eyes, but she was also a noble among the human race. If she were to seduce Elt, don’t you think they would lose?

「Well, Alice is royalty, and she said there are conditions for marriage. So don’t you think we’ll be fine?」

They’ve traveled together and they trust each other. Serena weakens because of Alicia’s innocent smile.

「Well, if Alicia says so, fine… But I’m gonna go look–」

Serena thought to at least check what the two of them were doing, and tried to say so.

——Gogogogogogogogogo――

「Kyaa!」

「What!?」

They felt a big shake and hugged each other.

「I, is it over?」

「U, un. It seems to have stopped.」

When they came face to face, they both gulped.

The shaking had been so strong that they could hardly stand, and they had been terrified.

「Do you think this is Elt’s work?」

「Yeah, I think so. Elt does strange things when I’m not looking.」

They both agreed that the shaking was caused by Elt.

「Wh, why don’t we go outside for now?」

Alicia muttered. I don’t know what’s going on here.

First of all, let’s meet up with Elt and ask him what he did. (italics) With that in mind, the two of them got off the bed and walked out of the room.

「It looks like the building itself is undamaged.」

Serena, who had good night vision thanks to living in the forest, checked her surroundings.

「Serena, the entrance door is open.」

Alicia noticed that the entrance they had come in through was open and pointed.

「Let’s go outside for now.」

Serena said, and the two of them went outside…

「What’s going on?」

「Where are we….?」

There is no ground beyond the walls surrounding the castle. The sky is surrounded by clouds, and the stars are strangely close.

The two of them stood stunned with their mouths open at the sight of something they had never seen before.
