Ch.175Chapter 175

The Professor left, leaving me alone with Ouro.

Sitting on the bed in the main bedroom, I couldn’t speak with Ouro in front of me.

For a long time, I just mumbled and groaned repeatedly. Ouro quietly gazed at me, as if willing to wait.

I wished she would say something, but she just stared at me with bright, attentive eyes.

Finally, unable to resist her innocent gaze, I raised the index fingers of both hands.

“This is a man, and this is a woman. When they love each other like this, a baby is made.”

As I rubbed my index fingers together gently, Ouro nodded.

I wasn’t sure which part she understood, but I was relieved she seemed to get it.

“What kind of love? Isn’t saying ‘I love you’ enough?”

“No. That doesn’t have sincerity in it.”

“Sincere love?”

“Anyway, there needs to be something like that. And then when they hug each other tightly, then… um. That’s how a baby is made.”

I pressed my index fingers firmly together, then separated them like magnets.

Ouro tried to imitate me, but after realizing her fingers didn’t have that function, she just kept tapping her fingers together.

“…I don’t understand. Ourr said she’s never loved a man.”

“Gah! W-well…”

“Then with the Professor? Can you do it with women too?”

Ouro tilted her head.

Startled by her closing distance, I moved back a step. The problem was I couldn’t retreat further without falling off the bed.

At a loss for words, I avoided her gaze before finally nodding with difficulty.

“Ah! This doesn’t work between people. Not with other animals either. It seems only Demon Gods can do it… Actually, even among Demon Gods, it seems only those with special bodies can give birth.”

“Whyyy?”

I pondered how to answer her innocent question.

Not knowing much myself, I couldn’t even make something up, so I was at a loss for words.

“Well… even the Professor doesn’t know much yet, so it’s hard for me to explain…”

“Then tell me what you did with the Professor.”

“Um. Today’s lesson ends here!”

“Heeey!”

“Whyyy!”

She was definitely a devil, always asking about the embarrassing parts.

I could understand why people feared Demon Gods. Though technically, I was the one closer to being a Demon God, while Ouro was becoming more human-like.

“Tell me quickly!”

“This is unfaaair!”

Pulling at my mouth wouldn’t suddenly make words come out, but she was being so unreasonable.

“I give up. I’ll tell you…!”

Since our muscle mass and strength were equal, whoever secured a good position first had the advantage. Unable to overcome Ouro who had claimed the top position, I had no choice but to surrender.

After finally calming down, I glared at Ouro who had returned to student mode.

Though I glared at her, Ouro just looked back at me without any particular thought.

I put my hand to my head and sighed at her innocence.

After sighing deeply, I finally told her what I had been putting off. I whispered softly in her ear, explaining everything in detail.

Ouro listened blankly, then curled her lips as if she’d heard something trivial. It was clearly an expression of mockery.

“You were embarrassed about something like this?”

That seemed to be what her expression was saying. Even though I had anticipated this reaction, hearing it directly felt different.

I could almost feel a vein popping on my forehead.

Gritting my teeth and trying to maintain my position above Ouro, I said smugly:

“You wouldn’t understand, Ouro~ The feeling of doing such things in that kind of atmosphere.”

Ouro’s dismissive attitude triggered my competitive spirit.

I wanted to respond maturely, but having already retreated in embarrassment, I had no choice but to take this attitude.

It was better than suddenly pretending “I don’t care either.”

As I flipped my hair back boastfully, Ouro stared at me and pouted. Evidence that she was annoyed.

“…I could just try it myself. If I try it and still feel nothing, then Ourr was just being dramatic?”

“It’s not being dramatic! It’s being sensitive. And you don’t just do such things carelessly. It’s something you do when you become an adult!”

I wagged my finger to stop Ouro.

But Ouro seemed already too worked up and started taking off her clothes. She didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to me.

“Ouro, wait. Stop.”

I grabbed Ouro seriously. As I caught her trying to remove her last piece of clothing, Ouro, with arms raised, tilted and flopped onto the bed.

Since she was in the middle of undressing, her arms and face got trapped in her clothes. With her long hair sticking out, it looked somewhat funny.

“Will you let go?”

Ouro struggled to break free from me, but since she had already bound her own arms, I could restrain her without much effort.

Sitting on Ouro’s exposed stomach, I pondered what to do, then grabbed her arms and pulled them out slightly.

Ouro, now dressed again, regained freedom of her arms. Though not completely free since I was still pinning her down.

“Get off.”

“…Making babies isn’t something you do with such a casual mindset.”

I raised my finger upward.

My index finger, extended like a warning, was resolute.

Ouro just stared at me silently.

Sometimes when she stares at me silently like this, it makes me nervous, but there was nothing for me, a Demon God, to fear from Ouro who was becoming more human.

“It’s about making babies! And you want to do it just out of curiosity?”

Honestly, people often do baby-making activities out of curiosity.

They try various methods with the thought that it’s fine as long as they don’t actually make babies, but these are physical methods and therefore completely irrelevant to Ouro and me, so it seemed better not to mention it.

Speaking about the advantageous points and withholding the disadvantageous ones, I slowly calmed Ouro down. She seemed to have settled a bit as she started taking deep breaths.

“That’s right, that’s right. Feeling a bit calmer now?”

“…I got angry because Ourr was acting all grown-up.”

“Y-you got angry about that?”

“But I’m still curious. It’s unfair that only I haven’t experienced it.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but just because someone else has done something doesn’t mean you have to do it too. You’ll get your chance someday.”

I shrugged my shoulders to comfort Ouro.

Ouro looked at me as if I was being insufficient.

“Still, I want to try it now. I’ll spend a lot of time here. But people will live shorter lives than me…”

“Even though you say that, you’re gradually becoming similar to them, you know? And there are also elves. Remember? That friend Aria.”

A student with golden hair and long ears. She’s supposed to enter the academy with Sera, so she’ll probably spend more time near the Professor.

Ouro was blank for a moment before nodding.

She seemed to have forgotten who Aria was for a moment. But at least she remembered eventually.

“If I become similar to them, doesn’t that mean I don’t have much time…?”

I tried to persuade Ouro, but mentioning that she was becoming more like humans only made her more anxious.

What kind of time concept did she have?

Considering Ouro’s physical age, even if she started aging now, it would take a lifetime to die of old age. I didn’t expect her to call that short.

Of course, unlike her changing body, it’s natural that her personality, thoughts, and way of thinking would lean toward how she had lived until now.

“Is that how it works?”

I said, sweating profusely, and Ouro hung her head.

Not long after, as if she had made a big decision, she suddenly raised her head and stared at me.

Then she stretched out her arms and grabbed my shoulders.

Startled, I leaned back, and Ouro seized the opportunity to raise her upper body.

My body wobbled. In an instant, my view flipped. This time, I was the one lying on the bed. Ouro fumbled as she pinned me down, then stared down at me from her dominant position.

“…Does it feel different when you see each other naked?”

“Of course it’s different. When you’re both exposed, it’s embarrassing. We usually keep ourselves hidden.”

“Does it feel different when you rub against each other naked?”

“……”

Since she was stating something so obvious, I just kept my mouth shut this time.

But Ouro seemed to understand the answer from the atmosphere and my gaze, as her expression contorted.

I let out a small groan as I watched Ouro walking the fine line between curiosity and fear.

“…Curiosity is good, but it’s better not to do things that are dangerous.”

“Hmph. Ourr always acts so grown-up. You’re just imitating the Professor because you’ve been with her for a long time, right? But you’re still awkward at it.”

Ouro turned her head away sharply.

Seeing this, I smiled bitterly and tried to comfort her.
