As I walked, pondering Helena’s peculiar behavior, I arrived at the annex.

My shoulders were starting to ache. Unbeknownst to me while thinking about Helena, today the bag felt unusually heavy.

It was supposed to be a lightweight enchanted bag.

I quickly opened the door of the annex to move the materials to the warehouse.

As soon as I opened the door, as always, Lily appeared. Once again, in her usual attire of my nightshirt, she ran towards me with small legs upon seeing me.

Then, she spread her arms wide to embrace me.

To reciprocate Lily’s hug, I placed the bag on the floor and reached out my hands. Lily, who always visited the main house and hugged me, was a bundle of pure joy.

However.

-Stop.

Lily approached me but suddenly halted.

“Lady Lily?”

This has never happened before.

‘Ah.’

I lightly tapped my face. It didn’t feel normal; something was applied.

I remembered putting on makeup to impress Helena today. On top of that, I was tightly dressed.

Lily’s face changed in real-time.

Initially, she froze with eyes wide open, almost as if under a petrification spell.

Then, her eyes gradually widened, mouth agape. Her face reddened, blinked a few times.

Maintaining that expression, Lily approached me.

Judging by Lily’s reaction, it seemed she was also taken aback. Even Helena seemed surprised by my makeup.

“Lady Lily, how do I look? Do you like the makeup?”

“You, you’re too beaut…?”

“Lady Lily?”

Suddenly, as Lily almost reached me while praising, she stopped abruptly.

“…?”

==

“Sigh… Haah…”

Once again, Lily woke up, took a deep breath, and exhaled, leaving Amelia’s nightshirt and necklace behind.

It was a refreshing morning.

Of course, waking up in Amelia’s embrace was the best scenario, but occasionally, to visit the main house, she left behind the nightshirt worn overnight.

Lily got up, stretched, and immediately put on Amelia’s nightshirt. Her whole body was filled with Amelia’s scent.

Feeling quite content, Lily closed her eyes and began to meditate.

The sudden mana awakening she had caused. Despite her exceptional talent, her still immature body was clearly burdened.

It wasn’t a natural awakening but a forced mana awakening. She lost consciousness due to its aftermath, but fortunately, she woke up within a day.

Instead, she was happy that she could eat Amelia’s specially made meatballs sauce.

While calming herself and focusing, due to heightened sensitivity from the mana awakening, she heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Rustling sounds, despite trying to minimize her own footsteps, slightly off-balanced steps.

It was Amelia coming with a bag. Confirming that Amelia had almost reached the annex, Lily opened her eyes and went downstairs.

As soon as she reached the ground floor, Amelia opened the door and entered.

Lily, to replenish Amelia’s momentarily absent energy, spread her arms and ran towards Amelia.

Amelia, too, extended her arms to hug Lily.

Only then could Lily see Amelia’s face.

“!?”

Amelia had makeup on.

Already beautiful, Amelia now looked exceptionally stunning. Her eyes, usually lovely, had become enchanting, and her lips, always tempting for a kiss, now seemed irresistible, seducing Lily.

Furthermore, her assertive bosom saying, “I’m here!” The chest perched on her knees, looking more alluring than usual.

-Gulp.

Lily approached Amelia, swallowing the drool, mesmerized by the sight of Amelia in makeup, a rare occurrence, only comparable to grand events or Lily’s coming-of-age ceremony.

At that time, Amelia had put on makeup out of courtesy. It was lightly done since it was a place where she shouldn’t stand out.

But now, Amelia felt like she had put on makeup intentionally.

Trying to control her racing heart as much as possible and suppressing the desire to kiss Amelia immediately, Lily approached.

In that moment, Amelia placed her hand on Lily’s cheek, smiled with her eyes, and said, “How do I look, Lily? Do you think I’m pretty?”

-Blush.

Lily bit her inner lip with her teeth. If not, she felt she might just topple Amelia over right then and there.

“You, you’re too beautiful…?”

Trying to contain her excitement as much as possible, Lily, about to speak, caught a scent with her heightened sense of smell.

-Sniff. Sniff.

Helena’s scent.

“Lily?”

Only then did Lily recall that Amelia had gone to the main house.

Why did Amelia put on makeup to go to the main house? Was it to show someone? She hadn’t even done this much makeup for her coming-of-age ceremony.

Looking again, Lily confirmed that Amelia wore deliberately provocative attire. This accentuated her chest even more, drawing gazes involuntarily.

Even though she touched and looked at them every day, it was hard to divert one’s gaze from those breasts.

Amelia in such a state. This beautiful and lovely Amelia.

Seen later than Helena.

Amelia, oblivious to Lily’s thoughts, tilted her head and observed Lily’s condition.

She knew Amelia’s actions were also for her benefit. It seemed likely she did it to redirect Helena’s attention due to mana awakening.

But no matter what, seeing Amelia in her current state after Helena made Lily feel very, very uncomfortable.

Moreover, how long had she been by Amelia’s side to exude Helena’s scent so strongly? It needed to be erased immediately. Covered with her own scent.

“You were with Helena?”

“…Yes.”

Since that day, Amelia had told Lily everything without a single lie. So, there was nothing more Lily could say.

First, the scent needed to be dealt with.

“Do you know your scent is filled with Helena’s?”

“Really?”

Despite my words, Amelia sniffed herself but seemed puzzled.

“My senses have become more sensitive since mana awakening.”

“Oh…”

“So let’s go to the bathhouse right away.”

“In the morning?”

“Yes. Because of the smell.”

Quickly grabbing Amelia’s hand, they rushed to the bathhouse.

Once again, without fail, they undressed swiftly, and Lily admired Amelia.

As soon as she untied the corset’s knot, a wave of emotions hit Lily.

-Thump.

Amelia’s ample bosom rose and fell dramatically with each breath.

Having awakened her mana, Lily keenly noticed the sound of flesh hitting when Amelia’s chest descended and rose again.

-Gulp.

Perhaps due to the tightness of her clothes, Amelia wore a corset over her maid outfit. So, she removed the corset and then the maid outfit.

As the buttons came undone and her shoulders were revealed, the maid outfit fell to the floor in one smooth motion, revealing her undergarments naturally.

-Thud… Thud…

“Lily!?”

Amelia urgently approached me. Wiping away something flowing down, I saw it was blood.

‘That’s cheating.’

Anyone would have blushed if they saw Amelia like this. It wasn’t the usual innocent underwear she wore.

Adorned with lace, her slightly translucent lingerie revealed a garter belt connecting her waist and legs.

Unlike her usual style of wearing rings at the end of stockings, Amelia now wore a garter belt.

With her tall stature and perfect figure, the garter belt on Amelia’s long legs added to her allure.

“Are you okay? Bathing isn’t difficult, is it?”

“No, I’m fine. It’s okay.”

I quickly manipulated mana to stop the bleeding. Truly terrifying. After awakening my mana, I thought shedding blood was only for Amelia and our first night together.

Indeed, it’s Amelia. Extremely dangerous.

Under no circumstances should I let Amelia leave this place. With her made-up face, sheer lingerie, and garter belt combination, no one could resist her.

“Uh, but what about that lingerie?”

“Oh. That… Let’s say it’s what you wear when you need confidence.”

Barely regaining composure, I took Amelia to the bathroom and washed her more diligently than ever before.

“I’ll take it from here.”

“…Okay.”

Disappointing. Amelia still didn’t allow me in completely. It hasn’t even been a month since we met, and I haven’t expressed my feelings yet. It’s not too late even if I do it after becoming an adult.

I must integrate as much as possible. She can’t be without me.

In the bathtub, I pressed myself against Amelia as closely as possible while moving.

To get rid of Helena’s scent and cover it with mine.

As I moved meticulously, Amelia suddenly said she remembered something.

“By any chance, Lily, did you take my underwear or stockings?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? I didn’t do that.”

“No, recently my underwear and stockings have been disappearing. I don’t think I lost them while doing laundry…”

Upon hearing this, I quickly began analyzing all the magic within the mansion. I could find traces of the Master in Amelia’s room.

‘This Erodragon…! Something I couldn’t even do…!’
