Case 277: Flirting?

Case 277: Flirting?

After satisfyingly erasing a few spots out of existence, I fly back to where my lovers are.

Here, the atmosphere is quite calm since more than half have already been sleeping. I guess the mental fatigue is real, huh. Makes me wonder how those cultivators or whatever can stay awake for years without sleeping.

''Hm... I think I'll take a shower.'' I say as I stretch out. ''Anyone wants to enter with me?''

In the end, three, including Sariel, decide to take a shower with me. It's Tina and Luna. Either way, we rub each other a bit in the bathroom and then go back to the study.

At this point, it's already been an hour since the break started, but I think a few hours of rest will work better for everyone. Since Sariel is already dozing off, leaning against the bed, and Dina is cowering in the corner of the room after witnessing my firepower, the only awake members are Tina, Luna, and Emy.

''Mn... yawn~!''

Oh, Luna-tan is sleepy.

I don't want to disrupt Emy's reading, so of course...

''Heya...!''

I latch onto Tina. She lets out a classy 'oh' as I cling to her waist, sprawling out onto the floor.

''What's wrong?''

''Nothing.''

With an adoring sigh, Tina's slender hand begins to caress my head, giving me a relaxing sensation. Her touch reminds me of a perverted massager trying to ease girls up to eventually fuck them later in one of those doujins.

I've never experienced that, though, so I'm not 100% sure.

So, I lie there on her lap for a while, watching half the ceiling as I feel Tina's abs with my cheek.

Tina smells really nice. No, everybody in my party does, but perhaps because of her origin, Tina's body seems to have been taken care of well.

Looking to the side, I see that Luna has indeed fallen asleep, and now, there are only four people with their eyes opened in this room. This combination... is it a coincidence?

After thinking it through a bit, I gently block Dina's hearing and tug at Tina's sleeve.

''Tina, can I ask you something?''

''Hm?''

''Do you feel guilty?''

Bam.

She flinches.

Although I can't see her face, for the mighty boobs have blocked my vision, I can sense that she is at least stirred up. Even her hand combing through my hair has frozen.

''Be honest, Tina. I'm not trying to corner you or anything, but... this stuff is better discussed sooner than later.''

As I slowly rise, my eyes also meet Emy's. When I wave a bit at her, she obediently comes over as well. Facing both of them, I pose a gentle smile.

''So... can you tell me from the start?''

We're currently staying in a private residence in Azarel, by the way.

''You can sleep a bit more.''

Tina, whose lap I am borrowing, says, her voice resembling a divine whisper.

''Mgm... I'm good.''

So, I quickly get up and stretch out for a while, during which Emy enters the room with a large tray in her hand.

''Dinner.'' She says.

Like moths seeing flame, we scurry over to get our portion of the delicious curry from the goddess of cooking herself. Right when we begin to dig in, a very hot and damp Liana stumbles upon this scene from outside.

''...''

With a tower on top of her barely dried hair, it's evident she has just come out of a bath.

As she takes the only remaining plate and places it on my table, I notice a refreshing scent wafting over. I feel like a plate is pressed against my back—okay, that's disrespectful. Um... Liana hugs me from the back, digging her chin into my shoulder.

Seeing this, I let out a giggle and feed her a spoonful of rice and curry.

''Is it good?''

''Mhm...!''

Without uttering a word, Liana happily nuzzles at my neck with her cheek.

These gals can really be little squirrels sometimes, I swear.

Even as we openly flirt like this, everybody acts like their usual selves. Heck, even if Liana suddenly pins me down and fucks the brain out of me, they'd probably stay the same.

That's the beauty of a harem, I suppose.

''Right, Sylvie.''

''Hm?''

''My mom called me earlier,'' Liana says. ''She said the alliance wants information from that thing.''

''Ah, I see. I forgot we also needed to extract intel from her as well.''

'That thing' is obviously Dina, who's still cowering in the corner of the room. Ever since she saw the plasma beam of mine erasing terrain from the face of [Aria], she has been like that.

Beyond just being a sperm donor for me, her value as a potential hostage is quite substantial. Moreover, she probably holds a lot of juicy information on the demons.

''Hii...!''

As soon as I turn to Dina, the dormant trembling of the succubus princess returns.

I can't help but lick my lips.

Let's see... how should I 'torture' her this time...
