The next morning.
While squinting at the light of the rising sun coming in through the
gap between the curtains, I tried to get up with a really refreshing
feeling, but,
"—Good morning, Exa-sama."
"Yeah, g'morning… wait, uooh!? Magmell!?"
Being called by Magmell out of the blue, I was surprised and
shocked.
But it seemed the one who was more shocked was her. She said
with a smile that didn't reach her eyes and a vein on her forehead,
"You had a very enjoyable night, I see."
"Eh, no, this is, you know…" I knew I had to say something, but
anything I said in this situation would only bring me more
unnecessary troubles.
I mean, Arca and I were still naked, and Arca was tightly hugging
me…
In other words, I was caught red-handed, yes.
"I see. So you going out of your way to give up the credits of being
the savior of the city and excusing yourself to return to the inn was
all for this, wasn't it?"
"N-no, you've got it wrong. I-I did that because I really thought you
two were the ones who deserved to be praised; I didn't do it for this
in particular…"
"But you did do it, didn't you? Moreover, you vigorously kept at it until
morning came."
"W-well t-that is... true. I did do it..." I averted my eyes.
Magmell drew her face closer to mine all the while staring at me.
S-so awkward…
And her face was too close…
"Hm~m, is that so. Well, Arcadia-sama is the legal wife who has
earned the most of Exa-sama's trust, and so, she certainly has the
right. Though, I personally don't really want to admit it."
"A-ahaha…" I let out a wry laugh, unable to withstand Magmell's
gaze.
She then looked down at Arca coldly and said, "So, for how long are
you planning to pretend to be asleep? Legal Wife-sama."
"What, so you noticed."
"!" Ah, she really was awake.
"That is a matter of course. For better or worse, we are both
saintesses. There was no way I couldn't sense you noticing me as
soon as I entered the room, wasn't it?"
"Fufu, indeed. But I'm really exhausted right now, you see. It would
be greatly helpful if you could leave us alone for the time being."
"Hmm~, so you made love to her that intense, Exa-sama."
"Ugh!?" I couldn't help but flinch at Magmell's glare.
I-it wasn't that intense…
But look, I basically had inexhaustible stamina and energy, so I being
a little intense in that area was inevitable… right?
"Ahh, it was so amazing. I never thought I would ever recognize the
fact that I was a woman anew." Arca laughed seductively.
Snap, the vein on Magmell's forehead made a snapping sound.
"Ufufu, was that so? But surely, you've had enough. Next is my, the
concubine's, turn. So Arcadia-sama, please sleep there to death."
Pull, Magmell pulled my arm.
"H-hey, Magmell!?"
Magmell tried to forcefully take me out, but needless to say, there
was no way the legal wife would allow that. "Oyaoya, concubines
these days sure are aggressive, aren't they?"
――Pull pull.
"U-umm, m-my arms are!? My arms are going to be torn off!?"
My plea was useless, the girls were getting more heated up. "You
were the one who played dirty first! You tempted Exa-sama while I
was busy working!"
"But it was none other than Exa himself who accepted it! You said it
yourself, didn't you!? That he could be manly at the critical moment!"
"Then why won't you let him be manly for me, too!? You've already
had your fill, haven't you!?"
"Not yet, not the slightest bit! Sure, I enjoyed myself so much that I
couldn't stand up, but that's exactly why I can't hand him over! Exa is
my man!"
"Hey, why are you suddenly acting like a child!? Your persona is
breaking apart, you know!?"
At Magmell's retort, Arca blushed and shyly averted her eyes, "I-it
can't be helped, can it? W-when he embraced me, I ended up falling
even more deeply in love with him…"
Ah, cute…
――Stare.
"Eek!?"
"What made you to be so dazed? Exa-sama."
"W-well, I just thought she was cute is all… ahaha."
"Hu~mph, is that so. Anyway! It's my turn tonight, so I'd be expecting
you to do me harder than you did Arcadia-sama, do you
understand?"
"Y-yes…"
At Magmell asking for confirmation with a strong tone, I broke into a
cold sweat, thinking that the days ahead sure were going to be
difficult.
