Chapter 1126 The Survivors Wake Up
-----
It was really hot this morning, but that's how deserts are, hot. Though, even with my protection against heat, I still sweat a lot when it's hot. And I was all sweaty while cuddling with Aquarina. And gosh this girl SWEATS. Her whole clothes were completely wet. Touching her would get my hands all wet. She required a quick and refreshing bath, ASAP!
"Alright, time to wake up, Aquarina~ Good morning, baby." I kissed her little nose, slowly waking her up.
"Muh... Ah, Sylphy?" She groaned. "Let me sleep some more, pleaseee..." Aquarina started dragging me down back into the bed, rubbing her face on my chest.
"Nuh-huh, you're waking up right now. It's getting pretty late already." I giggled, snuggling with her and giving her kisses in her long neck. "Mooch, mooch~!"
"Heheh, you're tickling me." She laughed a bit.
We ended snuggling and kissing a bit before actually walking out of bed. But these precious moments were all I treasured every day. I've already grown used to sleep at her side! It's going to be really painful once that's not a thing anymore for a while. And if it already feels painful for me, I can't even imagine Aquarina's side.
While we were taking a cold bath using the Oasis water inside our tents, Aquarina went on and on about how much she'll hate life when we finally go our own ways for a bit. And I couldn't agree more with her.
"Uuugh, do we really need to do this? Just come with me instead!" She said. "We can go see the witch once I'm done with my training, how about it?"
"Honestly I would love that, but my mother won't. And the promise is already made. I don't want to insult the Witch and tell her to delay the meeting. It would be like looking down on her just because I am the daughter of her friend..." I said. "And that would be really impolite. I need a good first impression, she's someone I've been looking to meet for a while."
"T-That's right..." She sighed, covering her face. "Sorry, that was selfish of me to ask... I was dumb. I'll just miss my Sylphy's huggies and kissies."
"I'll miss you a lot too, but we talked about this already I guess. We have to just toughen up and do it." I smiled, holding her hands. "Okay?"
"Okay..." She nodded, kissing my lips again. "Love you lots and lots, up to the sky and the moon, the sun, the stars, everywhere."
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Hahaha, I don't think that's how it is said... But yeah, same. I love you up to... another world!" I said. "And many more."
"Nuh-huh, I love you even more." She gave me a little kiss.
"Looks like they're better, yeah. We've been talking all morning with Sphynxiette about many things." My mom added. "I'm glad they're feeling alright now. Though, they can't speak and seem still quite weak, they really wanted to stand up again."
"They're quite the curious trio. Apparently they're much younger than Sphynxiette." Said my dad. "Anyways, let's go have breakfast, you two. You took a bit too long to wake up as usual."
"A-Ahahah... Y-Yeah, we are such sleepyheads." I giggled innocently. I didn't really want to talk about the lewd stuff we sometimes do. But, well, it just happens.
"Yeaaah." Aquarina licked her lips at that.
We joined everyone else's breakfast. Sphynxiette and her friends also joined our meal by eating Yellow Sunstones to recover faster, and some other assortment of ores mined from my Dungeon. They said they were very tasty, and filled their bellies until they couldn't eat any more.
"Delicious... meals..."
"Haven't eaten... eons..."
"Hahh... Happy."
"I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!" I giggled. I couldn't help but feel blissful as I saw them so fulfilled.
After they went through so much, it was nice to see them smile and feel happy, even if a little bit...
But the surprises for today didn't end in just that!
Ding!
