Chapter 108
But then Cassius made an awkward expression and started to edge out of the laboratory. Even though he had just come in.
“Master, where are you going?”
“No, I just… to Venta for a moment…”
“Venta doesn’t wake up until around lunchtime.”
“…Then to the flower bed.”
“I already checked the flower bed.”
Cassius opened and closed his mouth. Judging by how red his face was, he seemed to be embarrassed. Honestly, he really was sensitive, just as expected of her master.
When Eki approached him, he flinched his shoulders upward and avoided her gaze here and there.
“You, uh, don’t you have any sense of shame? How can you say something like that so casually…”
“I didn’t say anything that bad.”
“In the first place, how can you write something like that right in the middle of the lab. What if someone sees it.”
“Who’s going to see it? Venta?”
“…Anyone!”
“Geez.”
She could tell what the problem was.
Ever since they had first slept together, Cassius would sometimes torment himself on his own.
‘This isn’t right…’
‘Eki, are you really okay with someone like me?’
‘I’m your master, you know?’
He would reveal his anguish like that.
If he had kept throwing out words that ruined the mood, Eki might have seriously reconsidered their relationship. But after fidgeting for a while, all it took was a single finger brushing against hers and he would immediately get hard.
‘……’
‘……?’
‘…Want to go to bed?’
‘…Okay.’
After that, well. She pushed him until he was the one who said to stop.
But even after making love like that, the moment he turned away, Cassius would get hard again. Shockingly, he got aroused at all hours like an animal in heat. There wasn’t even a luck potion event going on, yet if their arms brushed, he popped up. If their eyes met, he popped up. He would even get hard just from her saying something that hinted at s*x.
‘He was sensitive down there before, but it feels even worse lately.’
All the magic circles and potions for the association had already been completed. Thanks to that, Eki had spent the past few days doing that sort of thing with Cassius several times a day.
Given how things were, even if he agonized over thoughts like ‘Is it really okay for me to be like this?’ she could just let it slide with unfocused eyes.
But this time, a different question arose.
‘He’s not just accepting me because of his body, right?’
Cassius had never once said things like ‘I like you’, ‘I love you’, or ‘I want to stay by your side too’. Hadn’t all the almost-confessions come from her first.
Only then did Eki start to feel uneasy.
“You know, Master.”
Eki grabbed the sleeve of Cassius, who was glancing at the calendar. He flinched the moment she reached out and put on an extremely tense expression.
“What.”
“Once we go outside, is there something you want to do?”
“…Something I want to do?”
“Yes. We’ll still be together then, right?”
She said it as if suggesting a shared future, but Cassius’s eyes drooped weakly. He lowered his long eyelashes and blinked, blinked, staring at the laboratory floor.
“…I don’t know.”
The answer that came after a long wait was far from satisfying.
Still, Eki didn’t back down. From a lonely dragon who had been shut inside this tower for hundreds of years and had grown afraid of the outside world, she hadn’t expected a clear answer anyway.
“Mm, then should we pick places to visit by season?”
“Are there things to do by season?”
“Of course. In summer, we have to go to the Sante region and eat harmony shaved ice, and in autumn, we need to enjoy the foliage festival in the capital.”
“Why is it called harmony?”
“They say everyone starts singing together after one bite.”
“Sounds like some bizarre magic is cast on it.”
“Huh? Ah. No, it doesn’t literally make you sing. Really, Master.”
When Eki giggled, Cassius’s expression loosened for a moment. He looked down at her with a faint smile, then stiffened again. But this time, his face wasn’t dark like before. Cassius’s cheeks gradually flushed a vivid red.
“…Master?”
The moment Eki saw his expression, she sensed something was off. Her gaze dropped straight down. Once again today, beneath the white coat, her master’s crotch was bulging conspicuously.
