"...That's it, kay." |
About an hour later. While pampering Susukino and hugging Nara, she found the artifact that seems to have been inadvertently dislodged from suppressing the Fertility Curse - |
As soon as she reattached that artifact to Nara, the plants that had overgrown quickly withered and die. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"A lot of fallen leaves and dead branches remained, though... I'm good at sorceries to dispose of that kind of rubbish all together, as I use them a lot inside the prison..." |
Conductor |
That's amazing - The power to collect and dispose of just the rubbish neatly, without touching Nara's personal belongings or anything else at all. I always thought sorcery and magic are too useful. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Yes... It's can also be used for cleaning, cooking and other useful things, it's a waste to only use it for fighting, though..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"In a world like this, with the threat of Phantom Mist swirling around, it's probably a good thing that sorceries and other magic are specialised for combat..." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Nay pros and cons. There was a long period of time at which hour thee had to sharpen thy fangs to square desperately in order to survive." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"But. I desire yond one day children like thee shall be able to live in peace and not in blood. Nay, I shall doth mine own most wondrous for yond." |
Speaking with determination, Chitose laid Nara and the others, still sound asleep, on the bunks. Nara's in the middle, while Susukino and Akihabara hugged her like spoilt children-- |
Three of Them |
".........♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"The body size difference is egregious... Yet these girls must be almost the same age..." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Hora, speak not of other people's physical features. T's malapert, and thee seem to be concerned about the fact yond the Nara wench is taller than thee." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"I don't think I should be so bothered about it... I'm rather envious of her, she's so feminine--" |
Abashiri furrowed her brow thoughtfully as she poked at Nara's chest with her fingertips, her expressions complicated. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"But how can I get these girls to wake up...? I'm trying to use a sorcery that works like an awakening potion to try and get them to wake up--" |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Mnya mnya...♪ Aahhaha, now Akiba's a whale gamer...♪" |
![Story Susukino.png](/images/2/2b/Story_Susukino.png) Susukino |
"More, gimme more... zzyah zzyah♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"What are they dreaming about, these girls...? Hmmm, apparently my sorcery can't wake them up...?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"But thee were able to wake up earlier, Abashiri? What's the difference between those folk and Abashiri then...?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Innocence or...?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Yond's not the point. Those ladies art the same Nishiki beastkin, and from mine own point of view, art all equally adorable children." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Hmmm... When I woke up, my Darling was hugging me, right...?" |
In other words, should I give everyone a hug myself? I thought to myself, and picked up Akihabara, who seemed to be the lightest of the three, for the first attempt. |
![Story Akihabara.png](/images/8/8b/Story_Akihabara.png) Akihabara |
"Zzzyozzzyo...♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"She's sleeping like a baby... If she touches the Conductor, she'll get an Iron Injection - but that's not why she's waking up, is it?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Then wherefore didst Abashiri wake up?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Ummm~... I feel like I've been having happy dreams all my life... It was like I was living happily without any complaints in a world full of all the things I love -" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"But you know what? That's just a dream after all... It's like I instinctively understood that the moment my Darling hugged me--" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"I wanted to feel more of my Darling's body warmth, even if I had to leave everything else that makes me happy... The moment I thought that, I felt like I woke up..." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"I see. I bethink I understand the logic anon." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Perhaps all the sleeping ones art having joyous dreams. Peaceful and joyous dreams yond cannot be did compare to this harsh reality did fill with Mist." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Everyone is did trap in such dreams." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"But if, like Abashiri, one prefers reality to such dreams, one shall be able to shake off the sweet temptation and wake up." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Hmm hmm... Because I put my Darling above all else, I was able to throw away my 'happy dreams' and wake up... Love wins...♪" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Actually, I admire thee there. Thy loveth is real, Abashiriya." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"I've been saying that all along...? Compared to anything in the world, I love my Darling more...♪" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Muh. But t's tricky. T seems yond in order to wake up everyone who is asleep, we need to show those ladies yond this reality is better than their dreams -" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Liketh Conductor bouzu for Abashiri, yond the children is willing to give up everything to receive it - Yond exists in this reality." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"But what is it, though? Wage? Territory, power? Loveth, family...?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"What doth we has to show and giveth these children to make those folk bethink yond 'reality is better'?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"It's like, what should we give them as a present...? It's a very Christmas-like problem, Baa-sama...♪" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Make not excitement of me. Doth thee has any ideas, Abashiriya? Art thee and Nara ojou, not to mention Akihabara ojou, fusty cater-cousins?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"I've already said we're not friends... I'm more likely to know what my sister-in-law Susukino wants, who has been separated from me for a long time..." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Hmm. Then I ask thee, what does Susukino want?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"...... ...... ...... ...... ...... Like, wanting to eat ramen?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Thou art a child who is does not understand a person's heart to yond extent?" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Mnyuuuu, Conductor-saaan......♪" |
Suddenly Nara hugged me while I was listening to Chitose and Abashiri's conversation. What is she dreaming about? She looks quite happy, smiling. |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Cuddle me, cuddle me......♪ I've, always wanted to be Conductor's pampered bou-san...♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"...!? Get away from my Darling, you sow...!" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Halcyon down Abashiri, Nara ojou is a doe, not a soweth!" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"This bitch...! She's always been seducing men as soon as drops her facade down...! Do you know how hard I've had to work to shield her from prisoners in heat or something like that...!?" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Mnyamnya...♪ Conductor-san, you're so big...♪" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"What are you doing with my Darling in your dream, hey! You old hag...!" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Hmm, I guess Nara ojou never had the experience of being did hold by someone else because of her stature." |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"In sooth, the wench is serious and reserved. The wench would never say 'I want to be hath carried', but yond's wherefore the wench spoils Conductor bouzu in her dreams...?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"So you're saying Nara wants to be a tiny child? She has such an enviable, well-endowed physique...!" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Fine...! Then I'll give you what you want! I'll make you shorter, Eih eih! This is what you want, isn't it...!?" |
Abashiri yelled, and grinded Nara's head, teary-eyed. All the while, Nara is holding on to her like a baby-- |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Hmm, Ah...?" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Don't cry, Abashiri-chan...? Huh?" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Am I, sleeping? Huh, huh...?" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Art thee awake, Nara ojou?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"It's okay, you can sleep some more! I'd rather you sleep forever...!" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Ngah, Abashiri-chan, why do you always lose your temper in front of me!? I mean, oow oow oow, don't grind my head~! I'm against violence!" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Hmm. T seems yond Nara ojou is not here to fulfil her own desires, but to -" |
![Story Chitose.png](/images/1/1f/Story_Chitose.png) Chitose |
"Cometh back to reality to holp thy crying friend, Abashiri. Thee has a valorous heart. Thou art a valorous wench, Nara ojou♪" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"Eh...? Eh...?" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"See, there you go again, playing the self-righteous girl act...! You want to tell me that I'm a filthy person who woke up with nothing but desire to be hugged by my Darling, didn't you...!?" |
![Story Nara.png](/images/1/1e/Story_Nara.png) Nara |
"EEEEEH!? For real Abashiri-chan, I don't know what you're talking abouuut!?" |
