Chapter 153
While Eki was feeling puzzled, Cassius got up from the now damp bed, caught his leg in the blanket, and toppled sideways. Naturally, Eki, who had been sitting beside him, was swept along and went tumbling off the bed with a bang! thud! crash!
“Ugh, damn it…”
“Ow, ow…”
Her whole body tingled. Eki suddenly wanted to smack her past self for thinking just a moment ago that this might actually be nice.
“Master, are you okay?”
“And you?”
“I’m fine.”
Unlike before, the two of them brushed themselves off and got up in a rather dry manner.
The probability of getting tangled in the blanket and falling together while getting out of bed was extremely low. So, well, it was obvious.
The luck potion’s effect has started.
Eki let out a sigh. Since both of them were naked, Cassius quickly summoned a top and draped it over her. Then he covered his own body and glared at the fairies.
“I’m pretty sure I told you not to pull this kind of prank.”
【 But we wanted to talk to Eki… 】
【 Yeah. We were prepared when we poured it out! This wasn’t a joke! 】
The fairies’ faces were genuinely serious. Eki looked at Tys, who was inching closer to her, and Venta, who had his tiny fists clenched. She felt a headache coming on.
“Then you’ll have to pay a price worthy of that resolve, right?”
【 Huh? 】
【 Um… 】
They had just been clinging to her, but now the two fairies started backing away again. Eki snapped her fingers and cast a spell, catching them. She immediately flicked both of them on the forehead, and Venta and Tys let out cries of pain. Even so, Eki’s anger didn’t subside. Making an ultra-strong luck potion is hard, you know!
“Eki, let’s get to work first.”
“Wah. Okay…”
She had just heard her master’s true feelings yesterday. And now, as soon as she woke up, she couldn’t even whisper words of love and had to go straight to work.
As Eki puffed out her cheeks, her master hesitated, then gently tucked her red hair behind her ear and said,
“You were just discharged, so you can rest.”
“What? Are you going to make it by yourself?”
“Yes.”
“Come on… no. Let’s do it together.”
Her mood, which had hit rock bottom, instantly lifted. Is this what love is? Eki smiled softly and linked arms with Cassius. He flinched, conscious of the fairies’ gazes, but then quietly offered his arm.
“Master, Master. After we finish work today, want to have dinner together?”
“…Sure.”
“Wow, that’s great.”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cassius’s lips.
But Venta and Tys couldn’t smile. The reason they had poured the potion on her was so they could be together.
【 Eki, are you going to hate us? 】
【 You can see me and Venta now, so let’s play togetherrr! 】
At those words, Eki’s heart softened. She had only been frustrated about having to remake the ultra-strong luck potion. She didn’t actually hate Venta and Tys.
As if they heard her thoughts, the fairies’ faces, which had been dangling with tears, brightened. Seeing that, Eki felt she should get a little more angry.
“I’m not talking to you until I calm down.”
【 What?! You can’t do that! 】
【 That’s so mean! 】
Still, there was nothing to be done. They had played a bad prank, so they needed to reflect on it.
And so, Eki ignored the crying Venta and Tys and went down to the laboratory with Cassius.
❖ ❖ ❖
Eki and Cassius started work after first making and taking a suppressant for the luck potion. But being an ultra-strong luck potion, it certainly did not leave them alone.
‘Ah, Master! That’s dangerous!’
The parchment on the shelf spilled down, so Eki threw herself forward to shield Cassius, and her clothes ripped, rip! somehow, how did that even happen?, exposing her bare chest.
‘Eki, that magic circle is wrong.’
‘Huh? Which part?’
She made a mistake she normally wouldn’t, deploying the wrong magic circle and burning all of Cassius’s clothes, it was amazing that only the clothes burned.
It would have been nice if it had ended there, but unfortunately, the lewd desires of lovers who had only just begun to truly know each other were like a fire that had started to burn, and the luck potion cruelly threw on more fuel, urging the flames higher.
‘Huh?! Eki?!’
‘I-I’m sorry!’
Grabbing Cassius’s crotch by accident became routine, and at its worst, even Cassius would fall victim to the potion’s tricks and pounce on Eki.
