“Gyaak—!!”

To Ariel, who hated anything with large or bulging eyes, whether it was an animal or a monster, the [Big-Eyed Frog] jumping up onto her shoulder was more terrifying than any other grotesque creature.

As soon as you scream, it’s natural for your body to react instinctively.

And it was natural for the reaction to bounce in the opposite direction from which the threat came.

If someone chases you with a knife, you run in the opposite direction. If a wild beast chases you with its teeth bared, you run in the opposite direction. Just as it is easier to turn your back and walk in the opposite direction than to go against the wind.

A giant frog appeared from behind, causing a shock.

It is natural and an instinctive reaction to bounce forward in the opposite direction of the impact.

and.

“Ouch! Dog, frog!”

Ariel, who was thrown forward, jumped down from my shoulder and pointed to the giant toad that had landed on the rock, and while she was terrified, it was also inevitable that she did not know where she had landed.

“Ah, Ariel. Stop. Stop. ”

“Wow, it’s a giant frog—!!“

Ariel, who had unknowingly sat on Elden’s thigh, began to squirm and stimulate Elden’s place(?) with her butt without knowing it.

Moreover, in a place without even a single thread.

“Okay, wait a minute. Ariel?”

“Ouch! Hey, don’t come this way—!”

Dig, dig.

A frog sitting on a rock cries out as if to tease Ariel.

Ariel, who had been crossing the forest the other day, almost fainted when a frog jumped on her face.

A giant frog twice as big as the one before sat on his bare shoulder, so he couldn’t help but scream and shiver, and Elden understood this completely.

A cute cat may seem like a ferocious beast to someone, comparable to a jaguar, and a shape that is just a collection of ordinary circles may cause someone to experience trypophobia.

The problem is.

The lower body, which was already sensitive, began to gradually get angry(?) as it rubbed against Ariel’s butt.

It was an absolute fire that could not be resisted, could not be suppressed, and could not be opposed, and as if it had been waiting for it to begin, it began to gain tremendous momentum and become stronger.

Two skins rubbing against each other with a thin towel between them.

If things continued this way, an unbearable disaster was expected.

Phagec!

Elden hurriedly drew electric mana into his hand, and the giant toad, which was licking the big eyeball with its tongue as if giving medicine, was turned into an electric grill for not paying attention.

And only then do Ariel’s writhing and screaming stop.

Ariel then looks at the golden(?) roasted frog and clears her throat.

“Wheww… . Go, thank you. Elden. ”

I smiled sheepishly, feeling embarrassed as I belatedly felt the same.

“Ha, haha… I guess I yelled because I remembered the memories from the forest. Sorry.”

Ariel had hated amphibians before, but after the day a frog jumped into her face, she hated them even more.

It was a natural reaction for her to run away in shock.

The problem was that the direction I ran was not good and I didn’t know what I was sitting on.

“… .”

“… Elden?”

An unanswered question.

A vague sense of silence as my startled heart calms down.

A breathing sound is heard from behind.

An awkward sensation in the buttocks.

Situations that are gradually being retraced.

Situations that are only then recognized.

soon.

“Uh… Ariel…? Will you come down now?”

Another look of horror begins to creep onto Ariel’s face.

It was only now that I realized where I had run away to and what I had done up there.

And then, I felt like I knew what that strange sensation from below was.

“—!!”

She is already at a mature age with full marital potential.

No matter how ignorant and indifferent I was about the opposite sex, I knew about the physical characteristics of men and how those characteristics changed depending on stimulation.

And he knew how to use that change.

As a child, I happened to see the instructions for use in my parents’ bedroom while rubbing my eyes to the sound of thunder waking me up in the middle of the night.

That’s why.

Ariel seemed to know why the three solid forks she felt under her buttocks had split into three.

Ariel in particular seemed to know why the central path of the fork in the road was rising like a drawbridge closing.

The startled and frightened struggle from the giant toad inadvertently caused the drawbridge to be closed.

And then, he sat on top of the drawbridge to prevent it from closing.

My whole body froze at the strange sensation I felt for the first time in my life.

My thought process was blocked and I didn’t know what to do.

I was sweating profusely, and a heat stronger than that of a hot spring was rising, making it feel like my stiff body was melting away.

“… … .”

A situation that is so confusing that it almost seems hopeless.

I clearly had mustered up the courage to have a fresh excitement, but at some point, I felt despair as I felt like I had turned into a lecherous sorceress.

He was desperate that Elden would misunderstand his purity.

Ariel, who wanted to explain that she had absolutely no intention of doing so, but didn’t know what to do or if it was the right thing to do, sat on the drawbridge that she was about to close, and as if she didn’t feel anything, she slowly got down from Elden’s thigh.

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I was so surprised that I forgot to mention it… .”

When you can’t make a decision, the best policy is to ignore it.

Do you know?

It could be a huge mistake caused by embarrassment.

Something like a hard club. No, maybe a thick branch that fell from a tree next to the hot spring was stuck between them.

Since we cannot rule out that possibility, we must avoid hasty assumptions and misunderstandings.

Moreover, the hard object felt as if it were held between two sheets of cotton towel.

If it had been Elden’s, it certainly wouldn’t have felt so explicit.

‘Yeah. A club, oh, no. A thick branch must have gotten stuck. It caused quite a ruckus.’

Of course, if it was the buoyancy of the tree, it wouldn’t sink to the bottom of the hot spring, but Ariel’s head was already too dizzy and confused to even think about that.

Ariel, who wanted to deny the feeling engraved on her buttocks and decided to believe that it was a tree that was stuck, muttered while looking up at the sky for no reason.

To shake off the embarrassment, the shame.

Unfortunately.

“Wow. Wow. The moon is so pretty.”

The moment he said that, a cloud appeared from somewhere and covered the moon.

In the end, the annoying cloud that prevented even the Shichimi from leaving after the King’s Eye Toad.

Fondant.

Ariel shut her eyes tightly and buried her head under the water.

Bubble bubble.

The bubbles that rose around the back of Ariel’s head once again created ripples in the water that was trying to become calm.

**

“Oh, oh! Oh, by the way, I should have finished the epilogue, but I forgot. I, I’ll go. Elden.”

“Oh, right.”

Ariel let out something that could be a scream or a sigh underwater, and without even making eye contact, she greeted him and ran out of the backyard.

It’s a mess.

All expectations and plans were turned upside down, and with no immediate means of recovery in sight, there was no choice but to retreat.

The sensation clearly engraved on her buttocks was so hot and embarrassing that it felt less shameful to show her naked body like Rachel.

It’s as if it was burned by a soldering iron.

Thump, thump, thump.

Ariel headed straight to her room.

Then, I saw Rachel closing the door to my room.

“Rachel?”

“Ah.”

“What are you doing?”

“I just checked briefly because there was no sign of activity.”

“Why?”

“Ah… .”

Rachel trails off.

She was quite surprised by Ariel’s return, which was quicker than expected.

I was glad that I was able to quickly look over the information I had organized in case of an emergency, but I was not prepared for the situation I would encounter in the hallway, so I couldn’t think of an answer to the simple question, “Why?”

The only way for her to get over the situation was to naturally change the subject.

“I guess you came back from a hot spring bath? I heard you definitely didn’t plan on doing that.”

“Ah, what, go, I suddenly changed my mind.”

“You must have been with Prince Elden?”

“Yeah. Why?”

Fortunately, Ariel raised another question without much doubt, and it was an easy one to answer.

Because it was just a part of a conflict that had already begun.

“I guess you didn’t really enjoy it? You came out so quickly.”

Far from enjoying it, I just ended up looking embarrassed.

Ariel replied with a hesitant look.

Before I knew it, my hand went towards my butt.

“That’s just because something like that happened.”

“… That would happen… ?”

Rachel’s eyes narrow.

That’s going to happen.

Because Ariel’s face turned red as she said those words and her hand pointed towards her buttocks, suggesting that it was not something to be passed over lightly.

“Oh, well. There is something like that.”

“What… are you talking about?”

When Rachel asks with a wary look in her eyes, Ariel crosses her arms.

The tip of the chin is slightly raised.

It was so shameful and she felt sorry for Elden for making such a fool of herself, but she didn’t want to show it in front of her rival.

Because for some reason, it felt like I was losing.

Because I didn’t want to flounder and fumble around like an idiot.

Moreover, Rachel had said that showing her nudity was ‘intentional’.

In order to deal with a desirable fox, you have to become equally desirable, so that’s why I mustered up my courage. If Elden doesn’t listen, I have to let my rival know that I’m ready for that much, and that I have some skills in captivating men’s hearts.

“Are you curious?”

“I’m a little curious. What happened in this short time?”

“Something happened. Something really bold and unconventional, I guess?”

It was something I never intended or hoped for, but it wasn’t wrong.

Because it was a bold and unconventional thing.

However, it is funny how Ariel reacts easily to Rachel’s one word, just as she thought she had gained momentum.

“… Are you following me?”

“What?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. I was just wondering if something similar had happened.”

Ariel’s eyebrows rose slightly and then lowered.

I followed suit, because the one word my enemy uttered was enough to hurt my pride.

Especially for her, who had never had any intention of following him in the first place, it was a provocation that was so damaging to her pride.

and.

Provocation always breeds backlash.

The reaction of someone who is not good at fighting is bound to be immature.

“No way.”

“Then… ?”

“Hoho.”

Ariel’s head is raised proudly.

Confidence comes from the smile you put on.

Her delicate shoulders shook once with interest.

Of course, I couldn’t believe I was saying it myself, so I was a bit slow and stuttered.

“… I, I was sitting.”

“Yes…? Where… are you talking about?”

“, on Elden’s thigh… !”

“—Yes!!?”

A look of astonishment appeared on Rachel’s lips.

Her unladylike behavior, which was considered to be that of a lady of noble birth.

Ariel’s lips twist in astonishment.

The unladylike words that I, a lady of noble birth, let out.

The childish love story between the two, who had never experienced a man or fought over a man, was getting worse.

One night, the day before departure for the Grand Duke.

“—!?”

It was something that the woman who was trying to deliver dessert to those two overheard a love story that she didn’t even know about all night long.
