“…A lap pillow?”
Faon frowned as he heard Night Lei speak. He instinctively looked at where she was patting her thigh.
Because of her posture and the fact that she had patted it, her long skirt now revealed the full, rounded lines of her thighs.
It was hard not to imagine the scenery beneath her skirt.
Furthermore, Night Lei herself gave off a feeling of… maturity, charm, and mystery.
At this moment, her gentle aura did not conflict with her original temperament; instead, it became even more attractive.
Faon was actually shaken for a moment.
Night Lei naturally noticed Faon’s hesitation and where he was looking.
‘It seems that starting from last night, she wasn’t the only one who had changed… Faon, whose heart was as firm as a rock before, actually has some slight changes now.’
‘It seems…’
‘She really was right; the marital life between Faon and Evalyn is truly discordant…’
‘And it is an issue on the woman’s side.’
Of course, she did not need to keep using this reason to get close to Faon.
Even if there were some slight changes in her heart, it only meant her behavior might change slightly, but it did not mean she actually wanted to step in and destroy the relationship between the two.
On the contrary, she also hoped that the relationship between Ailin and Faon would last a long time.
Being able to repay him… and being able to call herself his “sister” was already enough.
Therefore, her reason for bringing up such a private topic before lunch… besides wanting to tease Faon, was that she truly wanted to solve the pain points of the two.
Even if it was just chatting with her, relieving some pressure was not a bad thing.
After hearing Evalyn’s plan, Night Lei began to doubt Ailin’s feelings for Faon…
She had originally felt that Evalyn was very distant in her interactions with her husband…
But she had no right to doubt them.
Night Lei also knew that everything Evalyn did was not just for herself.
Even if it was exactly as she thought… as a mere neighbor, she would only do her best to make Faon feel more comfortable.
She would start with a “lap pillow.”
“Yes, a lap pillow. The kind that only a ‘sister’ can provide.”
Night Lei habitually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing an ear that was slightly red from excitement.
“Night Night has tried it too. Although she was very reluctant, I could see she found it very comfortable. However… since the workload at the Church isn’t very high, it has resulted in a bit of extra meat on my thighs.”
“I’ll pass.”
Faon looked away and refused.
Although it could barely be counted as normal behavior between a “brother and sister,” it was still too strange for him.
Night Lei rested her face in one hand and pretended to sigh.
“Actually, I understand. How could Brother Ang acknowledge someone with a strange name like mine as his sister? Even though I just said I wanted Brother Ang to accept my gratitude, the result is now…”
Faon hurriedly interrupted, “Sister Night Lei, stop joking and teasing me. I’ll actually believe you.”
“Hehe… Well, in that case, I won’t joke anymore.”
Night Lei returned to her usual self.
“Actually, I just want Brother Ang to have a good rest. If you’re unwilling, you can just ignore my repayment.”
“…It’s not that I’m unwilling, I just feel it’s too hard on Sister Night Lei’s body. Maintaining this posture isn’t actually good for you.”
Faon spoke somewhat bashfully.
“The last time I had a lap pillow was when Sister Falin and I were both quite young.”
“Then… do you want to relive it?”
Night Lei smiled.
“As for my body… Brother Ang doesn’t need to worry. After all, I am a semi-succubus. Besides, this is just behavior between a brother and sister, isn’t it?”
Faon was somewhat hesitant. If it were his past self, he might have kept refusing until the other party gave up.
But now, he did not know how to answer because such a thing fell right on the line of acceptable behavior.
Unlike a kiss, which could be rejected directly, and unlike a conversation, which could be done without any burden.
Close siblings might truly do such a thing…
“If you lie directly on the grass, it’s easy to catch a cold. There’s still some time before the afternoon break ends. With me here, I can wake you up when it’s time.”
Night Lei continued to speak, not moving her position or changing her posture.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Sister Night Lei.”
“Why be so polite? I’m Brother Ang’s Sister Night Lei and his partner.”
Faon slowly lay down, resting his head between Night Lei’s legs.
His movements were very cautious, for fear of touching somewhere he shouldn’t.
Behavior between siblings required even more care. If it was just behavior between siblings… he hoped Ailin wouldn’t be angry.
He would speak properly and explain everything to her.
“As he lay down…”
Faon’s vision was gradually occupied by the scale of Night Lei’s chest, until he could only see a small portion of the sky.
“Siblings?”
This feeling suddenly made Faon feel a bit nostalgic, as if he had returned to the carefree days when his adventure had just begun.
When he returned from an adventure, he would be forcibly pulled to “enjoy” a lap pillow from someone who wasn’t much older than him.
And he liked to lie on Sister Falin’s thighs, staring at that large half of the sky.
At that time, even though he would complain about Sister Falin forcing him, his heart was very relaxed and he enjoyed it, mixed with a trace of worry that Sister Falin wouldn’t be able to bear his weight.
His parents had passed away very early, leaving him alone in this world, so Faon was actually very dependent on Evalyn.
As his strength grew, the length of time he spent adventuring away from home also increased.
Later, the War began.
Seeing Evalyn’s body gradually weakening, Faon took up the responsibility and went to the Hero Party.
It was not only to end the War, but also to solve the problems with Sister Falin’s body.
Perhaps from that time on, the Faon who was used to relying on Sister Falin no longer relied on her.
He didn’t want to make Sister Falin worry or let her get exhausted like before.
Now that he had become powerful beyond measure, he certainly wouldn’t do so.
For him, love might be just like this: you feel for me, I feel for me, mixed with some desire and indescribable feelings.
Thinking like this, Faon actually felt that the figures of Sister Falin and Night Lei were overlapping.
‘No one can become a substitute for Sister Falin, no one should become a substitute for Sister Falin, and no one is allowed to become a substitute for Sister Falin.’
A good “sister” like this shouldn’t be treated that way either.
“Sister Night Lei, is it uncomfortable for you?”
Faon, having snapped back to reality, spoke up.
“Not at all… Is Brother Ang worried about me?”
Night Lei smiled.
“I think instead of worrying about me, Brother Ang should rest sooner.”
“Yeah.”
Faon gave a soft grunt of affirmation and closed his eyes.
A gentle breeze brushed over his body, bringing with it the faint fragrance from Night Lei.
It made him gradually relax. It was as if he had returned to the days of lying on the grass, closing his eyes to rest while listening to the Priestess in the party softly humming and feeling the gentle spring breeze.
Night Lei did not speak; she just quietly watched Faon as he gradually relaxed on her thighs.
This young man, who was only slightly younger than her, was actually the legendary Paladin and a War Hero.
“He must have gone through a lot… Is that why he became so very, very tired today?”
Faon was more tired than she had imagined.
This feeling was unrelated to lust or anything else. In this quiet environment, he fell asleep.
Night Lei looked at the sleeping Faon and couldn’t help but… gently stroke his face. But that was all.
“Brother Ang… Brother Ang, the afternoon break is about to end.”
Night Lei’s soft call woke Faon up.
Faon opened his eyes and realized that Sister Night Lei had truly let him use her as a pillow for a while.
He hurriedly sat up, his old face turning slightly red.
“Sorry, Sister Night Lei. How long did I sleep?”
“It’s nothing. Brother Ang only slept for less than one hour. I can handle this much time,” Night Lei said with a smile.
“However, I can tell that Brother Ang is still quite exhausted. If Brother Ang doesn’t mind, we can do this every day.”
Faon smiled and nodded, not taking it seriously. Doing it once in a while was fine, even though almost no one came to this patch of grass.
He stood up and then helped Night Lei to her feet. After seeing that she really didn’t have any problems, he spoke with a smile,
“Then let’s head back first, shall we?”
Night Lei’s beautiful eyes remained fixed on Faon as she nodded.
After returning to the Medical Hall, Faon felt that his spirit was much more abundant than in the morning, and the discomfort in his body had completely disappeared.
Just as he entered, he found Eve sitting in his seat, staring blankly.
“Miss Eve?”
“Hmm? What is it, my child?”
Eve said with a beaming smile.
“Nothing, just greeting you.”
“Eh~ So that’s how it is.”
Eve spoke with a smile, “My child, how was your afternoon break?”
“It was quite good,” Faon said with a smile, not saying too much.
“That’s good then.”
Eve nodded with a beaming smile and returned to her office.
Faon didn’t take it to heart. After all, Miss Eve being strange wasn’t a matter of just one or two days.
She was still a good person and very reliable.
