Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. I've been dealing with several real-life issues that have been quite complicated, and now that it's nighttime, with rain and cold weather, I can finally take some time to write.
Before I go, I wanted to ask you something: if I created a Patreon, would you support me?
I'd need to figure out how it all works and sort out many details, which is why I'm asking. Your support would be a huge help, as it would allow me to dedicate more time to writing and almost guarantee that this story reaches its conclusion. It would also help me cover expenses and other things. So, I'm looking forward to your thoughts, and I'll keep you updated on the benefits I'd offer. Thank you!

Previous Chapter
The woman didn't know when Astra had earned a place in her heart, a place she believed wasn't appropriate for her. That's why she hated her jealousy, and often imagined herself and Astra, with her tail, being carried away to heaven.
"Hana, such dirty thoughts," she said, smiling and shaking those thoughts out of her mind. Hana walked to the switch, turned off the light in the hallway, and, with a smile still drawn on her face, headed to her own room.
---------------
As she woke up, with the moonlight gently filtering through the window, Astra felt an uncomfortable weight on her chest.
Still somewhat tired, she blinked, disoriented, while trying to get her bearings in the room. Just then, a soft moan escaped her lips. "Mmm~"
Looking down, Astra was surprised to see Miyako. Somehow, while they both slept, Miyako was now on top of her, her mouth pressed against Astra's bare chest as if she were sucking, lost in a deep sleep.
"Mmm…"
Astra watched her for a moment, a mix of surprise and tenderness on her face. Without thinking much, she brought a hand to Miyako's head, gently stroking her hair and ears, feeling a growing sense of affection.
Unbeknownst to her, her tail began to move towards Miyako's crotch, brushing against the line of her panties, barely touching her skin.
"Mmm~" a moan escaped Miyako's lips, still deeply asleep. Astra felt a spark of desire to explore her body, and for a moment, the hunger of her instincts almost overwhelmed her.
Just as she was about to continue, she suddenly stopped.
"I have to stop," she thought, taking a deep breath. "Even though it's obvious there's a mutual attraction, I'd rather wait until we're both fully aware and sure of what we want..."
As she struggled to calm herself, a wave of fatigue washed over her. "Damn," she suddenly remembered. "I forgot that my ability to turn people into candy consumes a lot of energy... and I had those guys transformed for hours."
Astra looked around, searching for something to help her. Finally, she spotted her pants, tossed near a chair beside the bed after she had changed in the bathroom.
Without further ado, she stretched her hand like it was made of rubber, easily reaching for the garment without having to move from where she was.
With a slight smile, Astra pulled out the two candies she had stashed in her pockets. Seeing them almost ready to be consumed, Astra didn't think twice.
She opened her mouth and tossed the candies inside.
Crack, crack
Her mouth puffed up slightly as she chewed contentedly, feeling the energy slowly return to her body. Her expression of relief was more than evident.
Suddenly, in some strange, completely pink place, two cocoons labeled N2 and N1 appeared, both in a deep sleep. Next to them, a third cocoon was closed and empty.
Back in the room, Astra looked at Miyako, who was still sucking on her chest like a little girl. Astra smiled, gently stroking her head. However, she was surprised when Miyako unexpectedly bit her. "Ahaa~" gasped Astra.
Watching Miyako, Astra realized that she was nibbling on her nipple softly, murmuring in her dreams.
"Astra... Aanghh~" Miyako whispered, clearly caught in an intense dream.
Astra, somewhat amused, decided to let her be as she continued to stroke her head and ears, keeping calm. She raised her other hand in front of her, illuminated only by the moonlight.
Focusing, Astra transformed her hand into a large blade, the edge sharp as a razor.
As it grew larger thanks to the spaciousness of the room, the blade became imposing in the air.
Astra looked at it with curiosity for a moment, then returned it to its original size and rested her hand under her head, gazing at the ceiling.
She closed her eyes, and instantly, the information about the quirks she had absorbed flooded her mind:
----------
N2: [Quirk - Edge]
Allows the user to turn their hands and feet into blades with the hardness of steel.
...
N1: [Quirk - Ignore]
Makes the user forgettable to others, and can make weaker ones forget certain things.
Weaknesses: If someone is harmed, that person automatically remembers the user. Requires energy to activate, and people with strong will can resist its effects.
---------
Reclined with her arm behind her head, Astra stared at the ceiling while continuing to stroke Miyako's hair.
"N2's quirk is almost like Mr. 1's Devil Fruit in One Piece, though a bit more limited, allowing her to transform only arms and legs without the vulnerability to water. N1's quirk, on the other hand, is a mental quirk; useful, yes, but only with people of weak will. Someone with strong determination, like Mirko, could resist it without any problem. Useful depending on the situation, but not infallible."
Suddenly, Astra felt something wet on her leg and immediately understood what it was.
"Oh, damn... I forgot I was in heat. After a wet dream, this was inevitable..." Astra sighed, bringing a hand to her forehead, though soon a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"I can't wait to see her expression when she wakes up, realizes what happened, and tries to fix it."
With that amusing thought in mind, Astra closed her eyes and allowed herself to enjoy the warmth they shared while gently stroking Miyako's head.
Her friend's breathing synced with hers, creating an atmosphere of calm and closeness in the dim light.
Astra's smile widened as she imagined Miyako's confusion upon waking. Soon, Astra also fell asleep, lovingly embracing her friend, who rested her head against Astra's chest.
After a few hours, Miyako began to stir. Her eyes fluttered open, still drowsy from sleep, until she started to notice the warmth on her leg and an inexplicable wetness.
The blush quickly spread across her face as she registered confusing fragments of her dream.
"W-what...?" Miyako murmured, still dazed, feeling the embarrassment in her chest. Nervously, she glanced at Astra, who appeared to be deeply asleep.
Whispering to herself, she tried to calm down. "Just stay asleep... maybe I can clean this up before..."
But just as she was about to get up, Astra began to move, showing signs of waking up. Miyako's face turned an even deeper shade as she tried to think of an excuse.
Astra yawned softly and, with a lazy smile, looked at Miyako tenderly, kissing her forehead. "Good morning, Miyako!" she said, sitting up comfortably in bed, her torso still bare.
Miyako, embarrassed, looked down and found bite marks on Astra's chest.
At that instant, her mind connected the fragmented memories and her cheeks flushed red. "My mouth... was on Astra's chest... My mouth... was on Astra's chest... My mouth was on Astra's chest"
Soon, a faint wisp of steam seemed to rise from her head as the blush covered Miyako's face completely.
Noticing Miyako's state, Astra chuckled softly and gave her a friendly tap on the forehead while tucking her hair behind her ear. "Is something bothering you, Miyako?"
Miyako's eyes widened, stammering as she tried to respond. "N-no... nothing!" She quickly averted her gaze while struggling to regain her composure.
Astra stood up, a playful expression still on her face, and began to get dressed, enjoying every second of the situation.
Astra watched the intense blush on Miyako's face and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh at how she tried to hide her embarrassment.
With calculated calmness, she stretched a bit and, without haste, started picking up her clothes to dress.
"Are you sure there's nothing to worry about?" Astra asked, looking at her with a playful smile and raising an eyebrow as she buttoned her shirt.
Miyako tried to speak, but her words came out stammered. "N-no... yes! I mean... nothing happened!"
She pressed her lips together, not daring to look her in the eye, and felt the blush on her face intensify as she remembered how her own mouth had ended up on Astra's chest. Just thinking about it made her feel like she was on fire.
Astra, enjoying the moment, leaned slightly toward Miyako, shortening the distance between them.
"I'm glad you rested well, Miyako," she whispered in a soft voice, her tone mixing kindness with something more. "You slept so deeply that it seemed like you were dreaming about something... interesting."
Astra's words made Miyako grip the sheets between her fingers as she recalled vague fragments of the dream, images of Astra hugging her and making her enjoy peculiar ways, that warmth so intense.
"N-no, that doesn't mean anything," Miyako murmured, trying to justify herself and avoid the topic, although her voice betrayed her.
Seeing an opportunity, Astra gently stroked Miyako's head and gave her a small squeeze on the hand. "It's okay, Miyako. We all have... peculiar dreams, don't you think?"
Miyako felt her heart racing and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself. She couldn't stop wondering what Astra would think of her if she discovered all the content of that dream, and that idea terrified and excited her at the same time.
She stayed silent for a few seconds as Astra looked at her with tenderness.
Finally, Astra got up from the bed, still wearing her usual mischievous smile. "I'm going to prepare us some breakfast. Maybe that will help clear your mind."
Before leaving the room, she threw a glance over her shoulder. "But let me know if you remember any interesting details from your dream. Who knows, maybe I can help you interpret it," she added with a wink.
As Astra walked away, Miyako fell back onto the bed, hiding her face in the sheets. "What am I going to do?" she murmured, feeling the heat in her chest and the whirlwind of emotions Astra awakened in her.
On one hand, she couldn't deny what she felt for her friend, but at the same time, she feared ruining that special relationship they had built.
In the distance, she heard Astra talking with her mother in the kitchen, and as they talked, Miyako ran her finger along her intimacy and then looked at it, seeing that it was all wet...
"Astra...~"
...
Astra walked out with a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but be surprised to see Hana, Miyako's mother, who was only wearing an apron and underwear. As if sensing her gaze, Hana turned around and greeted her with a kind motherly smile.
"Good morning, Astra," said Hana.
Astra quickly returned the greeting, trying to act normal, as her surprise had only been momentary.
"Hi, Hana."
However, Hana approached with a small pout on her lips. She leaned in a bit and gently ran a finger along the corner of Astra's lips, wiping away a bit of chocolate that had remained there.
With her finger covered in chocolate, Hana brought it to her mouth and tasted it slowly, never taking her eyes off Astra.
"How was your night with my daughter?" Hana asked in a playful tone as she turned around, revealing her fluffy fox tail.
"It was wonderful; we slept very comfortably," Astra replied as she took a seat, watching Hana prepare breakfast for her.
Hana smiled at her before pointing to Astra's chest, where a barely visible bite could be seen.
"It's obvious you both had a good rest," she commented with a mischievous expression.
Astra, a bit embarrassed, quickly clarified, "No, Hana, don't think that… Don't tell Miyako, but when she fell asleep, she curled up on my chest, and, well… that's the mark," she explained, blushing as she spoke with the woman she considered a second mother.
Hana chuckled softly at Astra's explanation, looking at her with a mix of amusement and understanding. "I see, I see… My little Miyako has always been very affectionate, just like her mother…" She leaned in a little closer to Astra, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.
Astra looked down, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks. Hana's closeness and her carefree manner of speaking always made her a bit nervous.
Although she was used to sharing moments with Miyako, her relationship with Hana had a special charm that was both comforting and a bit disconcerting.
Taking a breath, Astra quickly regained her composure as she spoke calmly. "She's… very important to me," Astra replied softly, trying to find the right words.
Hana straightened up and gave her an understanding look. Then, while pouring the tea, she added, "I'm really glad to hear that, Astra. It's good to know that you two get along so well, and I hope it stays that way for a long time…"
Hana paused for a moment and, without warning, leaned closer to Astra and buried her face in her chest, covered by her apron. "You know you're always welcome here, right?"
Astra nodded as she melted into the silent embrace, feeling a warm connection.
After a moment, they separated, and Astra settled in to have breakfast. The aroma of tea and sweets filled the room, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.
Hana served her a plate full of fresh cookies, sweets, and fruits, then offered her a cup of hot tea. Astra couldn't help but smile at the delicious presentation.
"Thank you, Hana. It really feels like home here."
Hana smiled back and, putting aside her earlier playfulness, gently stroked Astra's hair. "That's the point, dear."
At that moment, Miyako came down the stairs, fully dressed, but froze when she saw her mother. She pointed at her and shouted, "You… you… put something on, woman!"
However, when Astra looked at her with a smile, Miyako's face turned red. She quickly sat down next to Astra, trying to hide her embarrassment as she began to eat breakfast.
"How did you sleep?" Astra asked, trying to break the ice and divert attention from the discomfort that had arisen.
Miyako avoided her mother's gaze and smiled weakly. "Can't complain. It was a good night," she replied, chewing a cookie with an air of feigned indifference.
Hana, amused, shot them a knowing glance before adding, "Who said my apron isn't the latest fashion?"
Both girls burst into laughter, and the tension in the room dissipated. Conversation flowed as they shared anecdotes and laughter, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
As breakfast went on, Astra couldn't help but feel grateful for the connection she had formed with Miyako's family. The atmosphere became increasingly familiar, and laughter became a thread connecting their hearts.
After finishing, Hana stood up to collect the plates, while Astra and Miyako stayed chatting animatedly about their plans for the day.
"What do you think about taking a walk after breakfast?" Miyako suggested enthusiastically.
"I'd love to," Astra replied, feeling a wave of excitement, but then her smile turned a bit melancholy. "But I'm sorry, Miyako, I have things to do. Maybe next time."
Miyako's expression dimmed a little, and her ears drooped, reflecting her disappointment. Hana watched the scene with understanding, recognizing the dilemma both faced.
Feeling the weight of the situation, Astra leaned toward Miyako and gently stroked her arm. "Don't worry, really. I promise next time it'll just be the two of us," she said sincerely, trying to lift her spirits.
Miyako nodded, although her smile still seemed a bit sad. "Okay… I just hope we can do it soon," she replied softly, trying to hide her disappointment.
Hana, seeing the interaction, stepped in to change the mood. "Come on, girls! There's always a next time. Besides, I have some ideas for a special lunch when you come back. How does that sound?"
Hana's proposal brought a spark of excitement to Miyako's eyes, and she seemed to perk up a bit. "That sounds great, Mom," she said, regaining some of her enthusiasm.
With one last look at Astra, who smiled back, Astra quickly went up to Miyako's room to grab her things. Soon, she said goodbye with a kiss on Hana's cheek and a close kiss on the lips pulled by Astra with Miyako.
Smiling at the blushing Miyako, Astra said, "We'll see each other again, girls."
As she stepped out of the house, the fresh air enveloped her, and although her responsibilities awaited, she couldn't help but smile at the warmth of the breakfast and the connection she had shared with Miyako and Hana.
With her heart feeling a little lighter, she headed toward whatever the day had in store, ready to face her challenges, but knowing she could always return to that home where hope and joy awaited her.

Note: I wrote a chapter for my DanMachi story and realized I was in the wrong story after finishing transcribing it and exiting by mistake. If I hadn't noticed, I would have just uploaded it, which would have been pretty weird.
