18. The Newcomer (2)

“Lily has plenty of water too.”

“Give me some!”

I shouted at Jane’s sudden nonsense remark.

Marie, standing beside me, startled like a rabbit and jumped.

But it seemed the tears welling up in her eyes had already dried.

“Sigh, anyway, Marie working here is confirmed… What about where she’ll stay in the meantime? We can just clean up the spare room, right?”

In other words, she was suggesting we live together.

Naturally, Jane showed signs of rejection.

Her fingertips, which had been fiddling with her earlobe, trailed coldly down her neck.

The path happened to be right over the carotid artery, sending chills down my spine.

“No, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Marie also shook her head vigorously.

“Then where are you planning to stay?”

“I could stay outside and only come in when working…”

“It’s cold at night. Have you lost your mind?”

“Then maybe an inn…”

“Do you have money?”

Marie hadn’t brought any belongings with her.

Gaston? Gaston?

It seemed she came straight from that person’s house to the Fairy’s Playground.

Naturally, she didn’t have a single penny to her name.

-Clap

I clapped my hands to wrap things up.

“You have nowhere to go, right? Let’s live together for now while we look for a place. That sounds good, doesn’t it, Jane?”

When I smiled and looked at Jane, she pouted her lips.

Though it was a childish dislike of outsiders, given her face, it just came off as adorable.

“We can clean up the third-floor room. If Jane just dusts it off, you can sleep there right away.”

Still, my hidden intention was to separate the bedrooms by floor.

I had no plans to show Marie the sticky nighttime activities between Jane and me.

But Jane seemed to dislike this idea too, shaking her head.

“I can’t use any more magic today…”

“Huh…?”

What about the incredibly delicate magic you used to brew tea earlier??

“Then what should we do…?”

As I sank into brief contemplation, Jane corrected me by embracing me.

Her soft, elastic chest once again enveloped my face.

Ah, so fluffy.

Ah, so spacious.

“Ah, then Marie can sleep with me in my room. The bed is big enough.”

“What?”

Jane immediately reacted violently.

Her eyebrows slightly raised, and a faint frown appeared between them.

Moreover, a crimson magic power, blood-like in hue, flickered in her pupils.

You said you couldn’t use magic anymore.

“So now it’s outright adultery?”

“No… I told you it’s not adultery…”

“Do you like the new girl better now? Am I already boring to you?”

“You’re driving me crazy.”

Jane’s one-sided tirade continued.

“If it’s not adultery, then prove it.”

“Prove what?”

“Proof that you like me more than that new girl Lily over there.”

“She’s not a new girl…”

I glanced sideways at Marie.

We were clearly discussing her living arrangements, but the topic had suddenly shifted.

Getting caught up in a conversation just between Jane and me, we’d inadvertently treated Marie like a background prop, which bothered me.

“Huh?”

But Marie’s expression was completely different from what I expected.

Her face was red, and she was covering it with her hands, but through the slight gaps between her fingers, she was peeking at us.

And why is she smiling?

“You’re driving me crazy.”

I don’t know why, but she looks extremely happy.

“If you laugh after crying, you’ll grow hair on your butt?”

“Huh? I already have some. I have a little.”

“Eek!”

Why is there not a single normal person around me?

Meanwhile, Jane was waiting for me to provide proof.

She even added a bit of threat to pressure me.

“Show me proof quickly. Otherwise, I’ll just pull this out.”

“Eeek!”

Jane grabbed the tail dangling from my butt and shook it gently while whispering.

I stiffened instantly from the tickling sensation scraping against my insides.

And the catastrophe that would occur if it were forcibly pulled out automatically replayed in my mind.

“Ah, okay… Hng, so, haah! Just let go of this first!”

Realizing there was no way out, I immediately raised the white flag.

And as Jane released my tail, I quickly wrapped my arms around her neck.

-Peck

Kissing her lips was too embarrassing right now.

Because of Marie watching from behind.

“Hoo…”

Fortunately, my master seemed satisfied, letting out a deep sigh.

“Are we good now?”

Her hand still resting near my waist was unsettling.

But it seemed things had settled down, so I relaxed slightly.

Jane, who had gently stroked the cheek I kissed, turned to Marie and spoke.

“See? Lily likes me more.”

What are you boasting about now, Jane-Jane…

Her triumphant look is really cute.

“Ugh, ugh…”

It’s cute, but I can’t help cringing.

But I had overlooked something.

Her mischievous personality that loves to tease me.

“Ah, I can’t hold back.”

“Huh?”

“I like Lily too.”

“Uh, uh… Thanks?”

Caught off guard by the sudden confession, I awkwardly replied.

I deliberately ignored Marie’s delighted squeals behind me.

But Jane wasn’t finished.

“I should show proof too.”

“Huh?”

Jane’s hand, which had been ominous from the start, began groping my waist.

The way she touched me clearly carried sexual intent.

“Ah! Wh-what are you doing?!”

To my frantic question, Jane calmly replied.

“Providing proof.”

“Huh?”

I hurriedly grabbed her fingers as they slid under my skirt to pull out my tucked-in shirt.

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re seriously doing this here?”

“Are you embarrassed? Is it too bright? Should I turn off the lights?”

“That’s not the problem!”

Unlike me, whose voice was rising, Jane was utterly serene.

With a shameless face, she even retorted.

“Then what is the problem?”

“Everything! Everything is a problem?!”

It was a minefield.

Jane, as if she’d been waiting, glanced at Marie and asked.

“Is it because of her? Should I tell her to leave?”

“Where would she go in the middle of the night…?”

Back to square one.

Seeing an opening, Jane immediately showed her determination to kick Marie out.

If I openly defend Marie now, she’ll definitely go berserk about adultery.

Wanting to wrap things up peacefully, I rubbed my temples and dodged.

“It’s not that, but Marie wouldn’t be comfortable with this situation either.”

But the answer came not from Jane but from Marie.

“No, no. I’m totally fine with it.”

“Huh?”

Her face was flushed red, but Marie’s eyes were brighter than ever.

Since she always seemed so meek, I hadn’t considered it.

But she’d lived a life that couldn’t possibly be innocent.

Though it’s also troubling if she’s enjoying this…

“Uh…”

Cold sweat trickled down my spine.

Jane whispered in my ear.

“The audience says it’s okay?”

“Ah, no, I’m not okay with it…”

My best resistance was easily thwarted as Jane grabbed both my hands with one of hers.

Then, the buttons on my shirt began popping open one by one.

-Pop pop

“You?”

Meanwhile, Marie, who hadn’t touched the cookies earlier, started eating them.

Her eyes still sparkled.

“R-really? Really in front of Marie?”

“Yeah, really.”

Jane simply affirmed my desperate question and licked my earlobe.

“Eek!”

The warm, wet sensation sent shivers down my spine, and my nose twitched.

“Crybaby, you’re such a crybaby.”

“…Shut up.”

While I kept grumbling, Jane’s hands were busy moving.

My shirt fell open, revealing the gray underwear beneath.

She lightly grasped my breasts from below, lifting them slightly.

“Hng…”

“Ah, it’s past time to milk you.”

With each touch of Jane’s fingers, a sharp pain shot through my swollen breasts, fuller than usual.

After the last experiment, I needed to express milk regularly, but I’d forgotten.

I hadn’t noticed before, but now that I was aware, the pain began.

A dull, throbbing ache made me grimace.

“N-no… I don’t want to…”

I struggled and thrashed, but Jane responded with loving coercion.

“Will you raise your arms nicely? Or should I cut them off?”

“Eeek!”

She probably meant cutting my shirt and underwear.

But her gaze was subtly fixed on my arm-specifically, the amputation line tattoo barely visible.

Tears welling up, I moved my arms to make it easier for Jane to undress me.

And my hidden chest was exposed.

“Huh?”

Marie, who had been watching with keen interest, let out a surprised sound.

It was because of what was attached to my nipples-something you wouldn’t see on an ordinary person’s chest.

When milk is produced and accumulates in the mammary glands, the breasts naturally swell.

The problem is that once it exceeds a certain limit, the milk soaks through the underwear.

To prevent this, Jane had attached ring-shaped inhibitors to my nipples.

Marie was startled by those inhibitors.

“Do you know what these are?”

Jane asked Marie.

“Huh? Huh?”

Marie floundered, but Jane, who didn’t seem to expect an answer, leisurely explained.

“They’re inhibitors to stop milk from coming out. Lily produces milk.”

“Huh? But milk only comes when you have a baby…”

Marie’s brown eyes widened.

“Lily, are you pregnant?!”

“No!”

I immediately denied it.

My master also nodded in agreement.

“Right. Lily isn’t pregnant yet.”

“Yet?”

“What do you mean ‘yet’?!”

Does that mean you plan to get me pregnant later?

Since when have you been thinking such terrifying thoughts?

Terrified, I began trembling uncontrollably.

“Ah.”

Instead of denying it, Jane let out a small sigh as if she’d made a mistake.

After a brief pause, she suddenly grabbed my breasts.

A sharp pain shot through my aching chest.

“Eeek?!”

I gritted my teeth as my entire body convulsed.

I wished the milk would just come out, but my inhibited breasts remained dry.

Unfazed, Jane moved her fingers.

“Hmm, squeezing feels nice.”

“I-is this really okay?”

At Marie’s worried voice, tears streamed down my face.

But my master nonchalantly replied.

“It’s fine. Lily likes pain.”

What made me angrier was something else.

“Grrr…”

The subtle pleasure I felt amidst the excruciating pain.

As Jane said, I was enjoying this.
