“Don’t mess around, it’s cramped in here — you, you’re being serious?!”
“No, Hailey, stop struggling… I can’t help myself!”
As a Magic Doll linked to the main body, Idledra could absorb Mana from Hailey in various ways to maintain her health at any time or place.
A simple act like holding hands during the day, or Hailey simply being by her side, allowed her to slowly absorb a small amount of Mana to replenish her minor daily consumption.
However, once she engaged in vigorous exercise or actively consumed the Mana maintaining her body, Idledra needed to perform more intimate actions to quickly replenish her supply.
“I feel so tired, Hailey. I have to trouble you again…”
Idledra leaned against her shoulder, weakly forcing a faint, apologetic smile before cautiously burying her face in the other girl’s chest.
Greedily baring her small canine teeth, she left one small mark on Hailey’s arm, gently sipping like a hummingbird collecting nectar.
“Fine… do it gently, I feel dizzy.”
Whatever.
It seemed she was the one who had dragged Idledra out today, so she couldn’t blame her for consuming so much physical strength.
It would just be better if they used a more conventional method next time…
But it shouldn’t have been like this.
The two of them had only spent a little time sightseeing on the streets today.
The only thing that could have drained her strength was Idledra’s stern reprimand of the merchant, Julian.
Even so, that shouldn’t have consumed so much… *Cough, cough.*
Before Hailey had time to think, Idledra pinned her down again, and her body began to gradually grow soft.
Her limp state made Hailey feel quite lazy.
She didn’t even notice that the young girl holding her gently had a pair of glowing pink eyes shimmering beneath her Eye Patch.
‘Let me be selfish just this once, my dear Hailey… If I don’t give those guys their comeuppance, what if my Hailey has nightmares tonight?’
Looking at Hailey, who had fallen into a semi-conscious state due to the loss of Mana, the Saintess touched her own covered eyes.
It seemed the white cloth could not hide those eyes.
Looking at the face that seemed to be on the verge of entering dreamland, she suppressed the desire in her heart.
She only gently, tenderly, and with restraint stroked Hailey’s cheek.
‘Ugh… I felt like I was dreaming of a flock of sheep, constantly rubbing their soft wool against my face. The kind you can’t push away. Sooner or later, I’m going to take your wool and sew it into clothes…’
Her neck also felt itchy.
She remembered a certain someone only taking one bite of her arm… Could it be that she had also become a Vampire?
A Saintess of Light turning into a Vampire would be quite the contrast.
“Hailey, if you keep pretending to be asleep, I’m going to kiss you.”
“I’m awake! I feel great now!”
To avoid being further suppressed by the other girl, Hailey snapped awake with forced composure.
However, she seemed to have had too much Mana drained, as her legs suddenly went numb the moment she stood up.
With a thud, she fell back into Idledra’s embrace.
The two girls, who had originally just been squeezed together, were now leaning against each other in a new posture within the narrow room.
By now, it was too late to escape. The Saintess was full and satisfied, brimming with energy.
A pair of hands wrapped around Hailey’s waist.
“It seems my little Hailey still doesn’t want to leave me, does she?”
Her legs were so weak she could barely stand, yet she had to pretend nothing happened.
Clearly, the large-scale Mana extraction was still too sudden for Hailey.
For some reason, Hailey’s eyes were suddenly covered.
Following that, she could only feel a pair of gentle hands controlling her movements, leading her to sit down slowly.
‘Why does this plot sound so familiar? And this Eye Patch seems to carry a familiar scent…’
Hailey somehow recalled a memory.
Idledra’s Eye Patch seemed to possess magical power, shielding her eyes from unbearable light.
However, when sleeping or resting, she would take it off to let her eyes relax.
Every time she did, she would leave a light kiss on the Eye Patch.
Hailey had been curious, but the response she got was always a meaningful silence and a smile.
“Does Hailey smell that fragrance too? The scent of petals…”
“Wait, so you mean this is — mmph!”
Before Hailey could refuse, the Eye Patch was already covering her eyes.
However, since she wasn’t actually blind, she could still see the outside world through the thin silk.
At this moment, Idledra, her pink eyes shimmering, hummed a song as she gently pushed the wheelchair that she was supposed to be sitting in.
The person being taken care of had now swapped identities.
‘Wait, so she wants her to pretend to be me… No, it seems I am the Body Double Puppet, and she is the real Saintess. That’s fine.’
“Hiss, my legs are so weak I have no strength. I can’t stand at all. It’s all because of a certain someone…”
While being pushed through the Church’s back garden, Hailey would occasionally pout and complain, as if grumbling about a certain someone, yet not daring to truly get angry.
“But if we go back like this, Old Man Ran at the gate will be found out quickly, won’t he? After all, your eyes are pink; anyone can see the difference at a glance.”
“Don’t worry. The elderly are old, and it’s normal for their vision to be a bit blurry, right?”
The Eye Patch obstructed some of her vision, so Hailey didn’t notice they were about to leave the Church.
The kind-looking gatekeeper was currently waiting respectfully to the side.
Idledra’s pink eyes gave a cold sideways glance at the person nearby.
Old Man Ran turned pale with fright, lowering his head and not daring to look her in the eye again as he tremblingly saw the two of them off.
“This Eye Patch is a bit in the way. Can I take it off first? No one will recognize me anyway… I, I’ll just mess up my hair a bit more and cover it with my clothes.”
She could still smell her scent on the Eye Patch, the fragrance of hair and a faint kiss…
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt as if the atmospheric pressure had become a bit heavy when they left the Church just now.
Had something big happened?
It was probably just her imagination.
“But if Hailey is recognized, they might take away my helpless, obedient Hailey and send her away for a Magic Experiment.”
“What if those crazy mages want to take little Hailey apart…”
Idledra whispered into the puppet girl’s ear, pretending to be flustered while tracing her fingers gently along her face.
It was as if she were really going to wash her clean and eat her up.
Her eyes were teasing, flashing repeatedly…
“Then, then you have to push slowly. Don’t send me flying…”
At the thought of actually being taken for a Magic Experiment, Hailey couldn’t help but shudder.
She could only grip the hand of the person beside her more tightly.
Idledra seemed to sense her anxiety and tightened her grip with satisfaction.
Even a frightened Hailey had a special flavor to her…
*Slurp*…
‘I want to eat… but I must endure.’
