I was passing by Ellen's tent when I suddenly noticed a movement inside.
Is she awake?
My mouth curved into a smile. The Goddess of Luck is smiling today.
I peeked at the tree nearby and smirked. Natsuki was sleeping there or pretending to be, regardless the problem of Church will be solved soon. Why bother with church if you can deal directly with its owner itself.
Natsuki had a strange habit of sleeping on trees.
Today my multiple dilemmas were solved, first the Austin one and another the Church ...and presently I can finally get some peace.
The person inside did not seem to have the intention to sleep soon.
I decided to observe her first. What is she struggling about?
She had a hesitating expression. She would ponder on something for a while until she was about to sit up, but then, she would stop and reconsider the situation, just for the process to repeat again.
To be honest, just looking at her like this was funny. Seeing her constantly-changing expressions had its own charm.
Eventually, though, it seemed as though her courage had vanished, and the girl sighed before turning around to sleep.
But how could I let a fish that already bit the bait escape?
Before Ellen could move to the bed, I walked into the tent and put on a surprised look.
"Not asleep yet?"
"L-Leon".
She lost her composure for a second before regaining it again. " Oh, yes, I was just about to go to bed."
I stared at her briefly before smiling mysteriously.
Ellen got a bit nervous when she saw my smile, but before she could understand its meaning, she was late.
When she finally reacted, the exit had been closed and she was seated on my lap.
Ellen was startled. She only felt a blur and everything had already happened. She was completely unable to resist or object.
"W-What?"
"Sorry about that." I smiled and hugged her waist. "Technically, you should be resting right now as only a few hours are remaining for dawn, unfortunately, you aren't and the fire I had suppressed from days is reignited within me, thanks to you."
Ellen blushed. "Y-You are right...I had to leave tomorrow early, Sorry, I didn't think about that..."
This cute girl… "You don't sound much convincing. So, is there something you want to tell me?"
Ellen was bit startled before lowering her head with a gloomy complexion.
To be honest, she had not thought about how to say it.
"… I just wanted to ask you what are your plans?"
"I don't have any definite plans will probably wander around for a while before moving to Imperial Institute for a visit."
Actually, I am quite excited about the Imperial Institute, this world is much larger than my previous one so it must have an Academy of a completely different scale.
"Mm." She nodded.
"What about you?"
She was silent for a while. "...I will be going to Mithras Empire, to visit a friend and will be staying there for some time."
"Umm...Mithras Empire!? why didn't you say anything earlier when we were discussing about it yesterday."
"No woman likes competition." Ellen smiled slightly.
"Competition, and why do you think so?? I don't even know her."
"Because you are bound to meet her." She smiled playfully. "You will see her soon. She is actually transferring to Imperial Institute."
I raised a brow in surprise. Wasn't she just coming for a visit? But if Ellen says so she must be right. I don't think she will lie to me.
The Mithras Empire's Imperial family members have rarely joined the Imperial Institute for formal Education. They mostly hire private tutors. Princess Liadella completed her education in the same way. They are the descendants of Hero Mithras and hence are known to be born with a powerful innate skill.
Mithras Empire Emperor himself is a Demigod, did she even need to attend the Institute? Whatever.
I shook my head to remove all useless thoughts off my mind. Let's first focus on the food which is on my plate.
"Aren't you worried."
"About what?" Ellen blinked her eyes confused.
I put my hand on her face and caressed it lightly. "Uh-huh, Didn't girls usually tend to get jealous in a situation like this?"
Ellen stared quietly before smiling softly. " Isn't it because of you."
"Me?"
"Yea, You are just too strong. Initially, I thought I should be able to catch up with you in few years, but now after spending some time with you it looks impossible. The distance between us is just toooo much" She spoke amazed and a bit disappointed.
"Power is not everything."
"Eh?"
"Nothing, so what did you mean by 'Some time' earlier?"
It is useless to tell her anything, we always carve for what we don't have.
"... Haven't decided, but perhaps will stay there for a few months."
I nodded. "Oh... Is she a girl?"
"??" Ellen stared at me puzzled.
I pinched her cheeks softly. "I mean, your friend is she a girl?"
"Oh, ...yes, but why?"
"Is she beautiful?"
"Yea"
I smiled wickedly. Ellen looked at me perplexed unable to understand anything.
"!!"
Finally, she reacted realising my motives. "Bastard, stay away from me." She started hammering fists upon me.
This was pretty girly for her.
I was pushed into the bed. We continued rolling around for a while.
"Hahaha...."
"Haha...Okay, okay you can stop now."
"How is your mood now?"
From the moment I arrived, she has gloomy look over her face, basically, I can guess the reason for it.
"Much better, ...hey Leon."
"Hm?"
"...why does it seem like you know so much about me but at the same time, I don't think I know even a little about you...It feels insecure, will we be able to last like this."
I chuckled. "How long have we been together."
It's amusing, how sometimes even an experienced person can act so dumb? More like there is no shortcut to feelings.
"Around a month" She answered back with some doubts.
I smiled. "Exactly you got your answer, how can you expect to know a person in just one month."
"...B-But, what about you."
Yeah, what about me? Well, that's because of my experience, but will it be a good idea to tell her that? Preferably, not.
"Haha... I am an exception"
She rolled her eyes at me, not amused, though she was feeling much better now.
"Hey, we are parting tomorrow right." She suddenly got up and asked me in an excited voice.
"Yea."
"There are still a few hours remaining right?."
"...yes"
"Than...don't you think we should effectively utilise it." She said with a teasing smile on her face.
Huh, this fairy, did she just played me, but I like this way...hehe.
I looked at Ellen's unfocused expression, as I kissed her.
This time, the kiss was deeper and longer. Our tongues entangled with each other and struggled to subdue each other. Seductive slurping sounds filled the tent.
Ellen's expression was completely red. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes shook gently. I tightened my arms around her waist and invaded her mouth fiercely. Our saliva mixed up and I felt the sweet taste of my aunt's saliva mixed with the slightly bitter fragrance of wine.
Ellen's nose breathed heavily. Her body gave up completely to my advances and she did not bother to struggle.
Finally, we both separated while panting heavily. A charming expression appeared on her face while she looked at me.
"Ellen, I love you," I whispered sweetly in her ear. My slightly heavy breath hit her neck, causing her to moan.
Ellen's entire face turned hot. She put her face on my chest and refused to look at me.
Ellen and I got rid of our clothes quickly. We did not care that we were inside a tent not a room, nor that there is no sound barrier placed.
... I later placed it.
In a few minutes, her entire body was naked. I sighed in admiration looking at Ellen's beautiful body.
