Emeraldine has been washing in the lake, and I ended up just staring at her like a retard for way too long, giving away my position easily and letting her detect me in no time as well… she even thought I was a “creep.” Well, I am indeed a creep! I don’t know what makes me special to not count as a creep? But okay?

When I tried to apologize, however…

“Sorry for staring. I was also kind of a creep,” I admitted.

“Oh… No, don’t worry about it… M-Maria… You would never be a creep to me… even more, it makes me happy that you were staring at my body… Y-You can stare all you want,” She said while blushing, as she revealed more of her body to me while moving away the long hair covering her breasts.

“E-Eh?!”

Emeraldine was a shameless girl! She was showing me off her beautiful bosom as if that wouldn’t make me completely… envious! What’s wrong with these damn elves?! They’re way too hot! What the heck?! Agh! I am just a ghost, even adjusting my breast size is hard because of this stupid restriction of “how you see yourself,” even though some admitted I had small breasts compared to her… I have been completely dwarfed!

Suddenly, a strong sense of jealousy began to fill my mind. Just looking at that ideal body made me so… so… frustrated… Ugh, I want my flesh body too, you know? Being a ghost is amazing, but there’s a limit to how amazing it gets before you begin wondering if it could be cool to have flesh again.

“M-Maria, you’re staring so much….” She sighed while blushing some more.

“Erm… Ah! Sorry about that, it just that by just looking at your body, I am suddenly taken over by a strong… feeling,” I sighed.

“Strong feelings? O-Oh my… M-Maria, you mean…? Those types of feelings?!” She asked.

Emeraldine suddenly began to walk towards me while opening her arms to me as if wanting to embrace me.

“Huh? Why are you coming here? Ah, wait! I didn’t mean that…! I….”

However, she wouldn’t listen to my words. Emeraldine got closer and closer to me with every passing second. Her beautiful body danced as she walked around, her hips were bouncy, and her ass cheeks were actually quite plump.

“Maria~ You’ve not… moved away from me yet… A-Are you okay with me? Y-You’re fine with it?” She asked while looking at me lovingly.

“W-Wait, hold on a second Emeraldine-chan… W-What are you talking about?” I asked.

“Maria, were you not looking at me in other ways?” She asked.

“Hm… W-Well, I wouldn’t say I wasn’t….” I sighed.

“Ahh! D-Do you… perhaps find me attractive?” She asked while her eyes shone brightly.

“I wouldn’t say I don’t… Well, I came here to fish for fish, not to look at your nude body… Though I have to admit you’re very beautiful,” I said, as I petted her head and stretched her cheeks… on her face.

On her face!

Though, she was such a cutie.

“T-Then come to wash with me! It’s hot, so the water is not so cold!” Emeraldine grabbed my arm and threw me into the water as she forced me to take a bath.

Thinking about it, I had never truly taken a bath because I am just a ghost. I don’t get nasty or smell. So what’s the point of it?

“Come on, Maria, materialize and take a bath with me! I will make sure to wash you well, fufu~” Laughed Emeraldine.

This elven beauty was off the charts in terms of sexiness, but she was also acting quite frisky with me all of a sudden. Did she really like me this much? To be honest, I don’t even know what this beauty could ever find attractive in me, but taking a bath shouldn’t be bad, and it could even be a new experience in this phantasmal body.

I quickly materialized my body, as I shyly took off my clothes one by one, and they all turned into black smoke and dissipated… revealing my nude body felt rather embarrassing even when this wasn’t a flesh body like the one I used to have!

Emeraldine started at my pale white, almost transparent body with eyes wide open. She even licked her lips.

“M-Maria, you’re such a beautiful treasure….” She said, looking at me with obsessed eyes.

“Treasure? Nobody had ever called me a treasure before… Am I treasure to you, E-Emeraldine?” I asked while blushing, as I felt like I was suddenly being captivated.

Was I really a treasure to her? But we had only met for about half a year! How come I am that important to her? Uwah… this only makes me grow more and more embarrassed…

“Y-Yes! You’re my precious treasure, Maria… You’re… t-the pillar of my life.” She said as she began to touch my body a bit, using the water and a sponge to wash me around.

“Uwaahh… I-It is cold… Wait, the pillar of your life?! Aren’t you exaggerating?” I muttered.

“Exaggerating? I would never exaggerate these feelings…” She said while smiling gently.

“Feelings…?”

“You were the one that picked me up from back then… When my life was already ruined… When I was used countless times… I had lost my life without dying… I had lost myself…” She said.

“I-Is that so?”

“And… well… When you picked me up that day… When you saw that my feet were hurt, and you carried me in your arms… That day… I… I felt something I had never felt before….”

Her hands suddenly caressed my hips, reaching my legs and slightly grasping them.

“It felt as if you were there for me… as if you had come to rescue me from all the hell I was going through… Even after being rescued from being a slave, I would simply rot away somewhere else, but you… you choose to pick me up… and since then I wanted to be at your side… every day since then, I grew fonder of you… Every time I feel troubled over the memories of my past, just remembering your face calms me down.” She sighed as she smiled at me and hugged me from behind.

“Emeraldine…”

“Thank you for being at my side….” She muttered.
