The room I was given was for one person only…
And yet, my danger instincts were screaming at full volume, like ‘WEE WEE WEE’ in my head, so I had no choice but to try finding an inn in town.
But every single place was completely booked.
I didn’t even need to think hard to realize that Koren-sama and Kuduro-san must’ve had a hand in this.
Seriously though… aren’t they taking this a bit too far?
Still, I’m not an idiot.
It’s a single room, sure, but there’s no rule that says two people ‘can’t’ sleep in it.
So, after some discussion, everyone suggested that Renge stay with me for the night, and I agreed.
That said, my guard was fully up.
No traps on the walls… good.
The door lock, there’s probably a spare key somewhere, so even if I lock it, they could get in.
Maybe I should wedge something heavy against the door instead.
Or better yet, make a new lock through alchemy…?
Then again, the window’s also a possible entry point.
And, of course, there’s always the chance of sleep-inducing drugs, or maybe something close to the ‘Ultimate Knight’s’ strength-enhancing formula, an aphrodisiac-type potion, maybe.
Objectively speaking, Koren-sama’s stronger than me.
If she gets close, I might not be able to stop her from forcing something down my throat.
Gas-based attacks…?
Even with ‘Invisible Jail’, which still lets me breathe, I’m not sure I could block that completely.
And even if I could, maintaining it while asleep is another matter entirely…
Yeah, it might sound paranoid, but after seeing that queen’s ‘that smile’ earlier, I’m convinced it’s totally possible.
Alright, I’d better keep an antidote ready at all times.
「Master, you’ve got a really scary look on your face right nowssu.」
「…You seem awfully cheerful, though.」
Despite everything that happened earlier, and how down she was at the time, Renge now looked completely fine.
Sitting cross-legged, tilting her head with that round, carefree smile…
Well, I guess a cheerful Renge suits her best.
And honestly, seeing her like this does lift my spirits more than when she’s moping.
「Well, I don’t really get it, but everyone insisted on leaving me alone in a room with you, master! How could I ‘not’ be in a great mood when a chance like this just falls into my lapssu!?」
「………Wait, don’t tell me you don’t remember?」
「Remember what? Hmm, now that you mention it, I can’t recall much from halfway through the banquet… oh well! If I forgot it, it must not have been importantssu!」
Renge… your memory…
Tch… but still, I’ll keep my promise tonight and hold you as you sleep…
「Alright, master. You must be tired too, so let’s get to bed already. Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll protect youssu!」
「Yeah. You’re right. Let’s do that…」
「W-wait, what’s this? You mean… you’re really doing it!? Since it’s just the two of us, I thought maybe after everyone’s asleep we’d… huh? You’re just hugging me to sleepssu?」
Yeah. That’s the promise we made.
So, I’ll hold you while we sleep…
「Ufufufu… it’s a little tight, master.」
「Ah, sorry. You okay?」
Maybe I put a bit too much strength into it.
「I’m finessu. Just a little. You can squeeze me tighter if you want. I think I’ll sleep really well being wrapped in your arms like thisssu.」
Then Renge hugged me back on her own.
The bed was made for one person, so it was already narrow, meaning we had no choice but to stay close or risk falling off.
「Hey, master. It’s kinda nice, isn’t it? Sharing a small bed like thisssu.」
「Isn’t it cramped?」
「That’s what makes it nice.」
Renge pressed herself closer, tightening her hold around me and tangling her legs with mine as if trying to increase every point of contact between us.
She buried her face into my chest and rubbed against it.
「Suuu… haaah… I really like your scent, masterssu…」
She took a deep breath through her nose, exhaling softly from her mouth as her body melted into complete relaxation.
Then she hugged me tighter again.
Even though I had taken a bath, being sniffed so directly like that made me feel a bit embarrassed.
「Don’t sniff me too much.」
「Nope. Suuu… haaah… I’m addicted alreadyssu…」
You and your sister both seem to like sniffing people, huh?
Well, you’re wolves, so I guess it makes sense that your noses are sharp.
「Fwaaah… now that I’ve calmed down, I’m getting sleepyssu…」
「Yeah, fwaaah… your yawn’s contagious. Alright then, let’s get some sleep…」
We both yawned and laughed before saying goodnight to each other.
Well, I guess it’s fine. There’s no way Koren-sama would try anything while Renge’s here with me… right?
Actually… knowing her, maybe that ‘is’ possible.
But still, I’m sure Renge will handle it somehow.
Yeah. She joked about the whole sister thing, but I’ll trust that it was only a joke.
Right now… I’m so sleepy…
※
Nn… what’s that… something’s wriggling on my stomach…
「…master…」
「Nn… what’s wrong…」
I turned toward the voice, my eyes half-open. Her face was close, too close.
She was leaning over me, one hand beside my head, looking down at me.
「Master… aren’t we… doing it tonight?」
「Nn…」
Her soft whisper carried a faint blush on her cheeks.
When a woman asks something like that, a man’s pride, or duty, would normally demand a proper answer.
After all, for a woman to take the initiative, even if they’re already lovers, takes courage.
That said,
「Not tonight.」
「Eh!?」
Rejected-desu.
I’m going to sleep-desu.
…Guess I’ve been influenced by that dream I was having earlier, about building some kind of airship with Eliodart.
A dream full of invention and wonder, planning to fly through the sky.
It was actually pretty fun…
「Wha, wait! Why notssu!? It’s just the two of usssu! A real bed for oncessu!」
「Ahh, you’re noisy… ‘fwaaah’… It’s late, so be quiet already.」
I want to get back to that dream.
I was just about to fly when she woke me up…
They say dreams about flying mean frustration, right?
Though honestly, since coming to this world, all three basic desires have been more than satisfied.
「Mumumu… fine then! I’ll just do it myselfssu!」
「Ah, hey. Don’t touch weird places, I’m trying to sleep…」
「It’s your fault, master! You won’t do anythingssu! You always do whatever you want otherwise!」
「’Fwaaah’… I don’t do whatever I want… not with ‘Koren’-sama, at least.」
「…Eh?」
Eh? Yeah, that’s right.
If it were really Renge coming onto me, I wouldn’t refuse.
But if it’s Koren-sama, then obviously I can’t.
「W-what are you talking aboutssu? I’m Rengessu, you know?」
「Ehh… still going to play along?」
There’s nothing duller than a trick that’s already been seen through.
Although, maybe it’s funny watching her act when I already know.
Yeah… seeing Koren-sama bite her lip in frustration is kind of amusing.
「…How did you figure it out? My looks, my voice, even my mannerisms were perfect…」
「No matter how perfect the disguise, there’s no way I’d mistake the woman I love… ‘fwaaah’… got it now? Then let me sleep… ugh, can’t stop yawning… my eyes are watering…」
「…ah…」
Koren-sama, still disguised as Renge, stood frozen with her mouth slightly open.
Really now, did she honestly think she could fool me?
No matter how similar her face and voice are to Renge’s, there’s one fatal difference that gives her away every time.
「Besides… there’s no mistaking an 84 and an 80.」
「What are you talking about?」
「Nothing you need to worry about… So then, what exactly are you trying to do?」
「I thought if I appeared as onee-sama, you’d agree to do it right away… Seems I underestimated you a little.」
Yeah, just a little? Try a lot.
The more I looked, the clearer the differences became.
Even her tail, its gloss and texture, wasn’t quite the same.
It’s a fine tail, don’t get me wrong, but… it’s missing that last bit of perfection.
Never mind mating, I’d be satisfied just getting to groom it once.
「Then I’ll just be direct. Let’s make a child.」
「Sorry to disappoint you, but I have no intention of sleeping with anyone other than the woman I love.」
「Then you can just love me, can’t you?」
「…If Koren-sama were to love me, maybe I’d consider it.」
「That’s impossible. My love belongs entirely to onee-sama. One hundred percent.」
Thought so.
That’s exactly why I said it, to make that point clear.
It’s not wrong for her to love Renge beyond simple sisterly affection, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let myself be used.
「So, where is your onee-sama now?」
「When onee-sama went to the restroom, I made a few small adjustments. She’s probably fighting with Grandpa right about now. So, she won’t be coming here for a while.」
「Adjustments…?」
「Nothing major. I just removed the inner door handle and created another exit using earth magic. Onee-sama is… hmm, rather straightforward, so I figured she’d go for the new route instead of breaking the door.」
Did she almost call her beloved sister simple just now?
…Well, she’s not entirely wrong.
「Now then, she won’t be able to come help you anytime soon. We can do this without anyone knowing, without anyone interrupting.」
「Sorry to embarrass you as a lady, but I’m still not changing my mind.」
「How troublesome… Fine, then drink this.」
「Wh… ngh… ‘gulp’… Figures you’d go for the potion route. Hate to tell you, but poisons don’t work on me.」
I had already prepared an all-purpose antidote, ready to drink the moment something felt off.
「Oh, don’t be silly. Of course it’s not poison. If I did that, onee-sama wouldn’t just hate me, she’d never forgive me again.」
Koren-sama’s face went pale as she hugged herself, as though realizing something terrible.
So then… what on earth did she make me swallow?
「You remember the banquet, yes? The ‘Garam Snake’ we ate? Normally, if you eat the detoxified meat, it just makes your tongue tingle a little. But when combined with a concentrated pill made from ‘Medical Cactus’….」
‘Thump’, my heart jolted violently once.
「….it causes a sudden surge in sexual desire.」
What the hell, my whole body’s heating up, my vision’s blurring.
Damn it, I need to drink the antidote,
「Ah, it’s neither poison nor medicine. I don’t think antidote would work. In fact, it is rather dangerous if another foreign substance get in contact with it….don’t drink that. Just leave your body to your desires….」
「W-wait…」
「Ahh, so this is a man’s… It’s a bit frightening, but if this is what bewitched onee-sama, I can’t help but be curious. How about it? I may not be as beautiful as onee-sama, but I’d say I’m quite presentable. A perfect partner to take out all that pent-up desire on, don’t you think?」
「Ggh… aah…」
No good, my mind’s going foggy.
I can’t think straight. I just… want to give in.
「Uuh… nghh…」
「Don’t hold back… It’s all right to do as you please.」
Koren-sama slowly began to undress, her movements deliberate and seductive.
Damn… this is… unexpectedly hard to resist….
‘BANG!’
A deafening crash. The door flew off its hinges, slammed into the opposite wall, and dropped to the floor with a heavy thud.
Those thighs… Renge? She’s here, huh?
「Haa… haa… haa…」
Renge stood there, breathing heavily, white steam visible despite the warm air.
Red markings, like glowing runes, ran across her body, pulsing with light.
「…And what exactly… do you think you’re doing, Koreeeennnnn?」
Her eyes shone under the moonlight, locked onto her sister. The red glow of her markings flared brighter, and her breath hissed out like steam, pure anger made visible.
「How dare you…」
「H-huh…? O-onee-sama? This isn’t……」
「How dare you kiss me right in front of masterrrrr! Apologies won’t cut it this timesssuuuuu!」
Ah.
That’s what she’s mad about?
‘That’s’ the part? Really?
Well… at least her memory’s back.
That’s… good, I think?
