Chapter 1806: Sea Bathing with Anima 3
When I woke up, I found Anima in the futon, who was supposed to be sleeping in another room, and we were hugging each other. Even though I myself don't know what I'm saying here, that really is the case.
How should I say this As tempting as it might be to continue embracing the soft, warm and comfortable body of Anima, and enjoy the bliss of a second round of sleep in the lingering drowsiness, I must prioritize confirming the situation over such indulgence.
Looking at Anima, who had clearly turned pale
[Errr, Anima Good morning. Umm, this situation]
[T- That's not it! This certainly is Master's room, and it may seem from the situation that I slipped into Master's futon, but I have no recollection of doing that whatsoever! Before I knew it, I found myself like this! N- No, even if Master says I unconsciously moved to Master's room and slipped into the futon, it would certainly be difficult for me to deny given the situation, as I certainly did feel a bit lonely last night, so I do have a motive to do such a thing but]
While trying desperately to explain, her voice had gotten a little smaller, as if she herself was unsure about the part where she might have unconsciously slipped into my room while half asleep.
No, but even if she was sleepwalking, the probability of her moving from her room to mine and crawling under my covers seems low, doesn't it? Looking at Anima, she doesn't even seem like she had woken up in the middle of the night.
While I was thinking like this, some sort of glowing letter suddenly appeared in the air in front of me. I think I had seen that somewhere. Oh, it was that magical letter just like that one Kuro had left in my room when I had just come to this world back then.
"I've made the arrangements for you, so please make out to your heart's content as lovers.
-Transcendental Beauty Cupid"
It was that idiot huh. Well, indeed, managing to move Anima, who had the strength on the level of a Count-rank, to a different room without her noticing might be a task only people on Alice's level can do.
Even so, even though she was incredibly shy and would likely run away if something like this happened to her, when it comes to my other lovers, she tends to be meddlesome and do various things like this.
[Ahh, umm Like this, all close to Master?]
[Unnn. Do you not like it?]
[No, umm, I'm rather happy It's just doing this as your servant is]
[Then, until we wake up, you as a servant are resting, and regardless of whether we're servant and master, we'd be sleeping as lovers You okay with that?]
With those words, I embraced Anima's body closer, and I could feel my drowsiness gradually lulling me to sleep. I heard that the warmth of human touch reassures a person, and it indeed feels very pleasant and comfortable.
Being under the same futon, the slightly elevated temperature adds to the overall comfort, making it even more pleasant.
[Yes.]
It seems that Anima accepted my suggestion, as after giving me a bashful smile, she hugged me tightly, affectionately rubbing her face against my neck.
She would usually be reserved, trying to act as my servant, but I guess she also wants to be pampered like this. As I gently caressed the head of the adorable Anima, I sank into a comfortable slumber.
<Afterword>
Makina : [Unnn, unnn. It's nice to be so lovey-dovey Even so, hmmm. She really did turn into a solid one huh.]
? ? ? : [As Makina had said, half of her body really is made of white chocolate Seriously, what kind of being are you, Serious-senpai]
