I never thought the side effect would suddenly make me fall asleep. Well, it’s much better than not being able to see or hear anything.

It shouldn’t be a problem if I fall asleep inside Su-unni’s body. Oh, I should be careful when taking a bath. It would be a disaster if I suddenly went underwater.

Of course, Eah will always be there to help me.

I tried to wake up again, stretching my body and trying to get up, but my body felt heavy and strange.

Normally, when I wake up, I should be greeted by a warm blanket and a soft bed.

Why is my whole body sticky and damp?

As I opened my eyes and raised my head, I saw two people kneeling and bowing in front of me.

Of course, those two were Lily and Helena.

“Sigh…”

– Sigh.

As I lifted the damp blanket that enveloped my body, my naked body came into view.

Covered in kiss marks and tooth marks, soaked in saliva.

Wow… Right now, my body looks like that of a 10-year-old. Did I really make myself look like this while I was asleep?

At least my lower body was unharmed.

But literally only the lower body was unharmed, and the thighs and chest were already covered in Lily and Helena’s marks.

Do they really want to make this kind of body? How could they do this to a child’s body?

No. They must just like me. They don’t like my body, they like me, so they have desires even for this body. Yeah. I understand.

But that’s one thing, and this is another.

Did they make my body like this without my permission while I was asleep?

“Both of you, no contact for a day. Go out and call Eah for me.”

“”… Okay.””

Knowing their mistake, Lily and Helena left the room without saying anything else.

Lily and Helena have really grown up.

It’s been 8 years already. I confirmed it by touching it with my hands, but seeing it with my eyes feels different.

Can I really feel this?

Not long after Lily and Helena left, Eah came in.

Oh… Eah has really grown up.

“Amelia, my lady…”

As soon as Eah saw me, her eyes welled up with tears and they started to fall.

Seeing that, I got up from the bed and ran over to her.

As soon as I arrived, Eah knelt down and hugged me, and I gently stroked her head.

After some time passed, Eah smiled again and hugged me.

“Eah?”

“I’ll take you to the bath. Your body feels very sticky.”

“Oh, okay. That’s a good idea.”

Eah suddenly started crying and forgot about my body condition.

I lowered my head for a moment and smelled the scent, and the smell of Lily and Helena’s saliva lingered in the air.

But maybe because I’ve smelled it so much, I didn’t particularly dislike the scent of Lily and Helena.

In fact, it made me slightly excited…

When we arrived at the bathroom, the bathtub was already filled with hot water.

Before getting into the tub, Eah started washing my body as usual and spoke to me.

“I’m so glad you woke up, Amelia.”

“Thank you. Thank you for taking care of me for 8 years.”

“No, I… I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t save you, I didn’t treat you, I didn’t make you wake up again. I didn’t do anything.”

Eah’s voice gradually choked up as she spoke.

8 years. It’s long. Very long. It’s half of a lifetime when I think of it as Eah.

I know that it was a very difficult time for Eah, who thinks of me as her mother, during that time.

So now, I have to take care of her.

I turned around and wiped away Eah’s tears while she was crying, and said, ”

“Don’t worry. Eya. I’m awake now. Thank you for taking care of me until now. Now it’s Eya’s turn. Let’s find what Eya wants.”

“No.”

“Huh?”

I was wiping away tears, but I was taken aback by Eya’s sudden response that cut off my emotions.

“I will stay by Lady Amelia’s side for the rest of my life.”

“Oh?”

“I will continue to take care of you, give you massages, feed you, take you for walks, and do everything you want.”

‘If it’s to that extent, am I not human…?’

Eya had grown bolder than I had thought.

Always obediently following my words with a bright smile, Eya now held my hand, lifted it up, and sent me an intense gaze.

“Ah, I understand. Please take care of me.”

“Yes, Lady Amelia. I will take good care of you! I will feed you, bathe you, take you to the bathroom, and walk you!”

“You don’t have to do all that…”

After the conversation with Eya, she picked me up to take me to the bathtub.

“Wait, Eya.”

“What’s the matter, Lady Amelia?”

“Do these marks not come off?”

I looked down at the marks left by Lily and Helena on my body.

There are other holy maidens and people outside, so showing this appearance now?

I feel so embarrassed I could die.

“I wanted to clean them up too.”

“But…?”

“The marks left by Lily and Helena are all enchanted, so they can only be resolved with time.”

“Enchanted?”

“Yes. They are under a light preservation spell.”

“Preservation spell?”

Eya nodded and then entered the bathtub with me.

As the warm water enveloped my body, a refreshing breath naturally escaped my lips.

“Ah…”

“Lily and Helena seem to want to leave lasting marks on you, Lady Amelia. Like a sort of stamp.”

“I don’t really understand…”

I replied in a drowsy voice as my body relaxed.

I don’t want to think about anything now that my body is melting away. Lily and Helena are quite jealous, aren’t they?

They must have cast a preservation spell because of all the thoughts. I just need to be patient.

“Huh!?”

I suddenly sat up.

I was bathing in the tub, but now I was lying in bed.

Did I fall asleep again?

At least the bed was soft.

I miss Lily and Helena.

I told myself not to see them for a day, but I miss them.

I must really love Lily and Helena a lot. With my recovered body, I got up from bed on my own.

Without anyone’s help, without a cane, I stood up on my two legs. After a brief stretch to confirm that my body was fine, I tried to leave the room.

But before that, Eya entered as the door opened.

She was carrying a tray in her hand. On the tray were steaming dishes of food.

Alright, let’s eat and then meet.

As I reached for the spoon to eat the food in front of me.

-Whoosh.

The spoon disappeared.

‘Huh?’

Then the chopsticks.

-Whoosh.

I turned my head to look at Eya. She was holding the spoon and chopsticks that I had tried to grab.

“I will feed you.”

“But I’m perfectly fine now…?”

“No. Your arms and legs have shortened.”

“But that doesn’t mean I can’t hold a spoon or chopsticks, right?”

“No. These spoon and chopsticks are very dangerous, made by the World Tree, so you shouldn’t touch them.”

‘Don’t lie!’

In the end, I had to eat without using a single finger.

Whenever I mentioned what I wanted to eat, she would skillfully scoop it onto the spoon and feed me.

My eyes can see, my ears can hear, and my body moves well, but is this right?

Living like this, even the little muscle I had will disappear.

After finishing my meal, Eah went out to tidy up the dishes. It was only then that I could get up from bed.

As I was about to leave the room to meet Lily and Helena, a large full-length mirror caught my eye.

A small child was staring at me.

With messy golden hair down to her waist and a large one-piece pajama that didn’t fit her body.

Moreover, a perfect harmony of cuteness and beauty that seemed to be the top among child models.

“So cute… Is this really me?”

Unlike the body that I had been looking down at, seeing myself in the full-length mirror made it clear.

Red marks. Kiss and teeth marks left by Lily and Helena.

Turning my body around, there was no spot without marks.

After examining my body, I sighed and headed back towards the door.

Oh. As expected, as I approached, the tree roots moved on their own, creating a path for me.

Peeking my head out and checking, there was no one in the hallway.

“Huh? Where is everyone?”

Slowly coming out, I looked around Su-unni’s body.

No one was visible, and in front of me, I saw tree roots saying, “This is the door leading outside.”

Oh… I remember hearing that Su-unni’s surrounding forest is completely safe. It’s at a level where self-sufficiency is possible with just one forest.

A short walk should be fine, right? I’ve always moved only around Su-unni’s body.

Fresh air. Oh, of course, Su-unni’s air is much fresher, but there’s something about the wind or the feeling you can only experience outside.

Once again, as I approached, the tree roots naturally moved and opened the door for me.

“How long has it been since I went out!”

As soon as the door opened, the gentle breeze tickled my body.

Bright light. Clear sky. Cool breeze. And the refreshing feeling of the cool ground. I ran out feeling all of it.

After tidying up all the dishes and returning to the room, Eah said, “Amelia, it’s time for your massage. Amelia?”
