While Sherryl and Princess Alfin were enjoying their sweet time, likely relaxing in a very luxurious private bath, Roselia and I were greeted by the appearance of two cute animals. But they were far from just being animals, considering they were purely composed of Mana. I saw a cute little silvery-white fox with her six tails spinning around happily while a black cat observed our current position.
From those two, they probably saw the position Roselia and I currently shared was awkward. Considering the fact that Roselia currently has her small hand cusping my chin, even going as far as to squeeze my cheeks. It did make that conversation we had a bit harder than usual, but in my eyes it seemed goofy. Yet for those two to drop in currently seeing us like this, it could become misleading for them.
And wouldn't I know it, I saw Roselia reveal a playful grin the moment she saw Tamamo and Celine return with Celine wondering if they were interrupting us, seeing the deadpan look in her eyes. As to where in Aidios's name those two have been since we've arrived, only the Goddess would know. I'm sure Tamamo would tell me all about what they've done later though.
"How nice of you two to drop by. 'Tis a fine morning, but in fact, you were interrupting something of our happenstance. Here I was looking to teach a rather complex spell, but I think my mana isn't quite up to par to do so. I do not care much for the touch of man, but sometimes we just have to make do with what is presented, no?", Roselia asked, being discrete in what she was trying to explain the situation, which caused Celine to just stare at her.
"Just what are you up to this time, Rose?", Celine tried to ask.
"You aren't referring to what I think you are referring to, are you Rose--!?", I also tried to ask, but I couldn't even finish completing my sentence before I saw a glint of darkness streak across Roselia's body. At the same time I saw Roselia bear her fangs. I could see two large protruding fangs sticking out of her mouth.
I am getting a familiar feeling again...
I started to recall the first time Roselia bared her fangs at me to restore her mana, so I braced myself, expecting Roselia to go for my neck again. On the contrary, I saw Roselia suddenly lean her head in toward the place that I least expected.
Opening her mouth wide, I felt two soft lips press against mine, initiating a kiss. My eyes turned wide as I felt a warm feeling spread throughout my mouth. Celine didn't seem to expect this either so her deadpan look from earlier changed to her eyes opening up while Tamamo just blankly stared at us.
"Oh...", Tamamo uttered softly, seeing Roselia's lips planted against mine.
And yet, it didn't end there. It wasn't a quick kiss by all means. Her mouth was wide open inside mine, and I could feel her tongue start to squirm.
"Mmm...", I tried to utter, but Roselia currently had my lips sealed. So instead, I reached my arms out and wrapped them around her back, initiating a hug. She didn't push me away and the warmth of her body started to spread across me. Her tongue started to wiggle inside my mouth, but unfortunately that was just a facade. While trying to enjoy the pleasure spreading through my body as our tongues began to dance around, it only lasted for a moment before I felt Roselia's tongue pull back. What replaced that were her two protruding fangs.
With a small sound of my lips being punctured, I felt a little sharp pain starting to spread throughout my mouth.
It didn't take long for the sweetness of Roselia's saliva to be replaced by the taste of iron. Her fangs punctured two holes on the inside of my lips. From the outside, Celine started to see Roselia's throat start to move, acting as if she was starting to swallow some type of liquid. In this case thanks to the two puncture holes, blood started to drip out, becoming a small stream that was ripe for the taking. It didn't take long for a little stream of blood to escape from the crevice of my lips, beginning to trickle down the side of my mouth. Roselia seemed to enjoy herself during this moment, but I didn't stay quiet on this matter. While she enjoyed drinking my blood, I went on the attack, and reached my tongue out. It was a bit weird at first, but the two of us started to share a sweet taste of iron, letting our tongues resume their dance.
While this kiss went on, Tamamo just observed us without saying anything, having her eyes wide with great interest. Celine, on the other hand, shook her head seeing this play out before them. Out of us four, it seemed Roselia was enjoying it the most, considering it has been quite a few years since she had last drank my blood. Only this time, I wasn't as ignorant. I went on the counterattack, letting my blood trickle down her throat while my tongue danced with hers. I must say, it was quite a weird taste in my mouth, but it caused a wave of pleasure to spread throughout my body.
I am not sure if Roselia felt any form of pleasure from it, but I could see her eyes showing greed as she continued to gulp my blood down her throat.
I wanted to use one of my hands to feel her butt up a bit during this moment, but I wondered if that was pushing it. She did mention she didn't have much interest in love, but was that really the case here? Or was Roselia just being greedy since she hadn't drank any form of blood in a while?
Either way, this blissful moment soon passed, and her lips parted with mine. With a soft pop, a visible breath of air parted between our mouths. I didn't see any hint of red over Roselia's cheeks. Quite the opposite, her eyes appeared a lot more crimson than they did before.
On top of that, Roselia sported a grin, seeing a thin trickle of red still on the side of her cheek. She also saw the little stream at the corner of my lips. Using her finger, she did a quick motion and wiped it away, together with what remained on hers, and licked it clean.
"You've gotten more daring since last time, boy. But this will suffice for now, I suppose.", Roselia replied with a playful grin, still savoring the taste of iron that was still inside my mouth. I did wonder though, was it still the same taste from her perspective, considering she's a vampire after all. Did she see my blood as a delicacy?
"Haha, we really haven't caught up in a spell, have we, Master?", I said, revealing a grin of my own. Still, Thanks to the amount Roselia drank, I did feel a tiny bit lightheaded.
"It really is a shame for Emma to like a pervert like you.", Celine said, letting her gaze turn deadpan again.
"Oh please. I am only receiving what is long overdue. Naoto has been taking far more than what I have been receiving as of late, so it's only rightful I lay claim to some of his blood. I feel much more recharged now. Perhaps even to last another decade.", Roselia said, smiling as she retorted Celine.
"Uh-uh. Then where would you even begin to explain this to little miss goody toe-shoe princess over here?", Celine retorted again, raising an unexpected question, causing the two of us to become distracted. We saw Celine stretch out one of her arms. Sure enough, toward where the door that led into the bathroom further inside Princess Alfin's room now stood open. A lilac haired girl and a golden-blonde haired girl with their hair dripping water, still appearing wet and covered in white bath towels could now be seen standing in front of the open doorway. To my surprise, Sherryl's hair did seem to have flowed down past her neck now, appearing longer than what I had previously recalled.
"Big brother...", Princess Alfin said, calling out to me with a gentle look in her eyes. As for Sherryl, she found it more of a surprise to see Roselia standing next to me, ignoring all of the colorful balls of light still happily dancing around me since I still had my mana channeling inside my body.
"You two took your sweet time in there, I just decided to have a little fun in your place.", Roselia retorted again, causing Princess Alfin to blink at me. Sherryl only shook her head with a sigh.
"...Just how much did you two see?", I decided to ask, seeing the two now done taking their bath.
"Only the last part. Still, I thought what happened on the island would be the last time I would see something like this, but I guess I was wrong.", Sherryl said, shrugging her shoulders.
"It looked a bit painful too...Was this girl really drinking blood just now?", Princess Alfin frowned as she said that.
"Well, I'll tell you about it sometime, but nonetheless this is the same lady you had a brief encounter with last night inside the castle, Alfin. Rose here is my Master, who has helped me in more ways than I can count on my hands. I'm her apprentice, and we both dabble in magic. You just had your first exposure to it last night.", I said, replying with a smile, introducing Roselia to Princess Alfin. Sherryl had already previously met Roselia thanks to what had happened back on Nemeth Island.
"Umu. It's as Naoto said. I have a few reasons for coming and what you just saw was one of them. All manner of banter aside, I needed a good battery to replenish my mana. I think I've been deserving of some dessert too~", Roselia teased again.
Before any of us could do anything, Roselia released some of her own mana, letting a light blue swirl coat her hand. With a twist of her hand, a hidden burst of energy spread out, aiming directly at me no less. Well, I wouldn't say directly at me, she targeted the various elemental balls still happily floating around me in harmony. All of a sudden, they all did a big whoosh, and swerved toward Roselia's body. To our surprise, as these mana balls shot toward her, Roselia opened her mouth. I finally realized what she was trying to do. Since that mana congealed into a physical form outside of my body, I figured they were pretty special, but I didn't think Roselia would take it that far and actually try to eat them to further replenish her mana.
But to my surprise again, we suddenly heard a cute voice call out to us in disapproval.
"Hey! Those belong to me!", Tamamo's voice angrily yelled out. With a swift step, Tamamo instantly vanished, utilizing her speed. In the next moment, I saw the cute silver-white fox re-appear right over Roselia's figure. Just as Tamamo steadied herself over Roselia's hand that made that gesture, Tamamo's mouth opened wide, trying to eat the several mana balls that were swirling over her hand now. Seeing Tamamo behave like this caused me to chuckle while the rest just watched on with blank looks in their eyes.
Chomp.
Even Roselia found it amusing seeing Tamamo behave like this, but before she could do anything, she already found her hand now being swallowed by Tamamo's mouth with a big chomp, eating up all the mana balls that were once present in the room.
"Seriously?", Roselia's voice escaped, causing me to let out another laugh, only to have her eyes squint a bit, seeing the fox now in her embrace, in a way of sorts. Tamamo's figure began to dangle down from her hand, letting her mouth continue to chew on the mana that my meditation session had previously created.
