“Wait a minute. Before we eat, I have to figure out exactly how we got back here. Am I dreaming?”
Hailey pushed away Idledra, who was about to make a move on her.
As the saying goes, even if she were to die, she wanted to die knowing the truth.
Since she could not beat this girl anyway, it would be better to just get it over with so she could sleep for a while…
It definitely was not because she no longer resisted, and it definitely was not because she secretly felt a hint of expectation…
‘What on earth am I thinking?! Why did I subconsciously assume she was going to do…?’
“Hailey, as I thought, you are already prepared to be eaten by me. In that case, I will graciously accept. I will be very gentle.”
It was the first time Idledra had seen Hailey so submissive.
Although it had only been a few days since their “first time,” she was overjoyed.
To have Hailey be this close to her, to the point of no longer resisting her transgressions, filled Idledra with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Despite this, Idledra’s restless hands still pinned Hailey down beneath her.
Even if Hailey was being well-behaved, she was not about to let such a good opportunity go to waste.
How could she let go of a delicious treat that had delivered itself to her door?
Idledra suddenly let go, collapsing softly onto Hailey.
Her previously aggressive actions came to a sudden halt.
The story went back to the two of them leaning against each other on the bench during the day…
“Hailey, hehe, you fell into my trap. You won’t be able to escape this time…”
“Ugh, it’s my turn to counterattack, isn’t it? Let’s see if you’ll dare to… I was wrong.”
When Laura, the proprietress of the clothing store, received the news and rushed over, she saw this somewhat heartwarming yet ridiculous sight.
The two were leaning together like children, yet their sleep talk somehow managed to connect perfectly.
Pedestrians occasionally walked by, but out of respect for the Saintess, everyone tacitly chose not to disturb them.
Occasionally, a few short-sighted fools — some even bold and malicious — only received a beating and a chorus of screams.
Before an ill-intentioned hand could even get close to the two, it would be mysteriously forced to its knees by an invisible force of Mana, or even nearly broken.
‘Could there really be some kind of mysterious Magic that allows them to share a dream? Though, for one of them, it might not necessarily be a good thing…’
“Wait, this should be a dream, right? Why am I even in a dream — ung…”
Looking at their deep sleep, Laura felt bad about disturbing them.
She brought a warm blanket from the shop and covered them.
Sensing no malice, Idledra’s Mana naturally allowed Laura’s actions before hiding back around the two of them.
Perhaps because the blanket gradually merged their body temperatures, Hailey’s Mana also began to grow close to Idledra.
If Mana had a physical form, it would feel like fluffy little balls gently rubbing against her cheeks.
‘It would be even better if Hailey could be this affectionate with me…’
Idledra, half-awake and half-asleep, felt that gentle and playful touch, and her mind began to wander.
Unknowingly, this Mana began to nourish Idledra’s body, and gradually, she felt much lighter.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she was greeted by Hailey’s slightly dazed and cute natural sleeping face.
There was no fatigue from insomnia or drinking too much coffee.
There was no reluctance like being forced to sleep after a nightmare.
This was the peaceful sleep of someone who had resolved their troubles and driven away annoying pests — the relaxed sleep of someone who felt a weight had been lifted.
Unburdened and satisfied, Hailey slept quietly with a sweet smile, her eyelashes even fluttering slightly with happiness.
She really looked too tempting to resist taking a bite!
With that thought, Idledra began to lean in toward Hailey’s face…
“Big Sister, what are you doing?”
A curious little head suddenly popped out.
Because there was no malice, even Idledra had not noticed.
Looking at the little girl’s innocent expression as she held her doll, and then looking at Hailey’s delicious sleeping face, Idledra suddenly had a wicked idea.
She mysteriously gestured for the girl to look over.
Though she might be a bad influence, she considered it helping the child adapt to society ahead of time.
Idledra gently cupped Hailey’s face, preparing to take a bite and clean off Hailey’s soft lips…
In the end, under the little girl’s excited, sparkling eyes, she only left a small, sweet mark on Hailey’s cheek.
“Mom, look! That sister and this sister are kissing!”
The girl’s crisp voice summoned her mother.
Idledra, still wanting more, was gently holding Hailey.
“Please thank Miss Laura for me. I’m taking my Little Princess home now.”
The woman who came to pick up the child happened to be a clerk at the clothing store, coming to check on the Saintess.
Idledra handed the blanket to the woman and gave the little girl a quick wink.
The girl waved goodbye happily.
“Goodbye, black-haired Big Sister and sleeping-soundly-after-getting-kissed Big Sister!”
Idledra vividly recounted the scenes from earlier in the day to Hailey, not noticing that someone’s face was getting hotter and hotter.
‘So this girl… she kissed me secretly while I was asleep and even corrupted a child…’
Most importantly — on a public street, did she really bring me back by carrying me like that?
‘Doesn’t that mean everyone saw it except me? The dignified Saintess, being princess-carried by her all the way back…’
‘Ah, my image, my dignity… the embarrassment is enough for me to dig a hole through the floor with my boots…’
Idrilla Senele… this cunning woman.
So bad, she’s too bad…
Before she could think further, Idledra had already snuggled against her chest like a little cat, rubbing affectionately and even touching —
“Stop it! How did you already reach…? You don’t look like you need Mana at all right now!”
‘Wait. Normally, she would have pinned me down fiercely and dominated my body…’
But her current appearance, becoming increasingly well-behaved and even a bit shy… this did not look like the nighttime Idledra at all.
‘She’s clearly acting spoiled with me!!’
“I have enough Mana, but I can’t bear to leave Hailey. Please stay with me a bit longer, Hailey~”
Hailey’s hair smelled so good, her body was so soft and fragrant, and her scent was so sweet and delicious…
Since she had gathered enough Mana, she would now simply enjoy Hailey’s deliciousness.
She would be very gentle.
“Hailey, can I… just one bite? I promise, just one bite.”
“No, don’t push your luck!”
‘I absolutely can’t be fooled by this girl… Why are you making such a pitiful expression?!’
‘Dammit, that expression makes me feel so guilty. What should I do? Calm down, don’t fall for it…’
“Tsk. You… just be a little gentler.”
“Yay!”
