"Kuchu—"
Elizabeth let out a cute sneezing sound as she curls her body on the flowery grassland. The late afternoon wind on the fairies' sacred garden feels somewhat chilly to her that she feels like having a cold. Because of that, after a few turnings of her body, Elizabeth finally got up.
Few hours have passed since Elizabeth unknowingly fell asleep. The only thing she knew was they finally reached the middle of the flower field and she sat closely with Arias. The things happened after that, she doesn't know at all. The next thing she knew; she was already having a very comfortable sleep alone outdoor.
After some stretching and grooming herself, Elizabeth stands up to look for the others.
As her eyes wandered around, on the spot not too far from her, she saw the two figures of the couple who are currently having a blissful sleep while their bodies are intimately close to each other.
"What in the world is this..." Elizabeth revealed a shocked expression when she first saw the two.
Arias and Regis' sleeping posture has a very large difference from their earlier position because this time, the two are lying on their sides. Regis has his hands wrapped around Arias, hugging her closely to his body and Arias' face snuggling closely to his chest.
In addition to that, it looked very natural that Elizabeth instantly guessed that it's not the first time such thing like this happened that cause a huge shock on her. Her face started to go through various warped expressions.
'Close! They are too close to each other. How in the world did this happen?! H-How bold! For Princess Arias to do something like this... But this suspicious Regis... to take princess Arias and wrap her with his arms... feeling that soft and smooth body of Arias...
W-What if every night, the two of them...together...this and that...
T-They might already start to take their relationship to that level?!!~%@&*$!~!!!!
But that can't be happening, right Arias? RIGHT?!'
So many things started to run through her mind. Even things that seem impossible to happen for now also begin to appear in her delusion. Because of that, Elizabeth's face blushed with a deep shade of red.
And while Elizabeth was busy on her wild fantasies, Cecil unknowingly approached her from behind.
"Every night, they are always sleeping together like that you know?" said Cecil nonchalantly as a small smile crept on her face.
"Kya--!"
To that sudden voice coming from her blind spot, Elizabeth almost jumped up in surprise. But as Eliza was surprised in Cecil's sudden appearance, she is more surprised by what she heard just now.
"What?! W-wait a minute! Did I hear it correctly? C-Can you repeat that again?" Elizabeth turned immediately to face Cecil.
'That can't happen, right? Don't tell me I accidentally...guessed it correctly?...'
Her flushed face while displaying a shocked expression looked very amusing to Cecil.
"That's right. And maybe they already kissed... and did something more amazing than that?" Cecil said in a slow but seductive voice. She's doing her best to hide the smirk that wants to appear on her face.
"NO! How can they do something like that?! I am sure the princess will not do something like that so easily, especially to this suspicious guy!" declared Elizabeth as she tries to materialize inside her mind the image of the very pure and impeccable princess of the west kingdom.
"Ufufufu. I'm not so sure about that. They may be hiding it from the others you know. Like a S-E-C-R-E-T." Said Cecil as she reveals a smiling face that seemed to tell her that there's more to know.
Having her question remained unanswered, Elizabeth just clicked her tongue silently as she decided to approach Regis and Arias to wake them up.
"Princess Arias... Princess... Wake up..." said Elizabeth as she mildly taps Arias' shoulder to wake her up. But as her sleep was very comfortable, Arias didn't even budge at first so her best friend shook her shoulders instead.
"Mmmmm... Hnn? Eliza?"
A pair of aqua blue eyes slowly opened and what Arias saw first was her best friend's face. Then she glanced at her surrounding and finally to the thing that she was hugging as a pillow.
"...!!"
Arias was surprised to be woken up by her best friend while she was snuggling closely to Regis. After letting out a scream of embarrassment waking Regis because of the loud voice. Elizabeth soothed her best friend and told her that they have many things to talk about after they go back.
After she recovered from her embarrassment, Arias quickly search for Reena. She hugged the chubby little girl's body and gently strokes her hair. She gave Reena, who finally got tired of playing with the fairies, a lap pillow and let her take a nap.
All of them finished on getting ready, everyone gathered near the central fountain inside the forest. Arias decided to carry Reena and let the little girl snuggle closely to her and rest her cute head on her shoulder. Beside Arias, Elizabeth was taking a good look at the scenery for the last time before they go back while Cecil and Clarabelle were silently sitting near them.
Separating a bit from the group, Regis finally returned after talking something with the fairies.
"Oh... For her to be sleeping... Looks like Reena really enjoyed playing here." said Regis as he gently pats her head. One of the things Regis wanted in life is to see his little sister free from all the sadness he felt a few years ago. A satisfied smile crept in his face as he looks at the figure of Arias holding the sleeping Reena.
"Yeah. She normally won't let other people see her being defenseless like that." Added Arias as she smiles gently while giving a light kiss on the little girl's head. From other people's point of view, the two of them is like a married couple doting in their cute child.
"Everyone, it's time to go." Declared Regis as he started to manipulate his mana.
After waving their goodbye to the fairies, Regis invoked the teleportation magic to return to the academy.
"[Teleport: To Magic Academy of Time Axel]!"
