After finishing his magical swordsmanship class with Edan and attending to student council duties, it was time to head home.

Time had flown by, and even as night fell after evening had passed, my mind was still not properly organized.

‘Victory…Victory…Victory reward….’

I was deeply pondering the extent of the victory reward I should give to Edan.

In truth, what I had allowed him to do so far was already quite significant.

I had let him touch my bare chest, allowed him to kiss me, and even engaged in uniform play.

I couldn’t figure out what more I should do for him.

‘…Isn’t everything that can be done with the chest already done?’

But if I only did what I had done so far, Edan would undoubtedly be disappointed.

Yet, if I were to move on to other areas instead of the chest, perhaps…

‘No, no, that’s not it.’

No matter what, that was off-limits. It was still too early.

Unless the situation arose where the power of the saintess was not needed, I had to maintain my purity until the end, even if just for show.

…In reality, it was quite laughable to mention purity in a situation where a man bit and kissed my chest once or twice a month, but in this world, the sanctity of Release did not disappear unless there was intercourse between a man and a woman.

Anyway, I had to put off going further down and think of another way to reward Edan.

Among the things I hadn’t done with Edan so far, the only thing that could be considered going further was hand stimulation or phyziri…

‘Hand stimulation might be okay, but phyziri is a bit…’

Even though he was Edan, the thought of putting a man’s thing between my breasts and rubbing it was oddly discomforting.

It was essentially massaging a man’s penis with my chest up close. How was that any different from fellatio?

When I was a man, it was definitely a situation that appealed to me, but now that I had to do it, it was a play that was repulsive in many ways. …No, I definitely wouldn’t do it.

…Besides, I realized that I didn’t even know how big Edan’s thing was in the first place.

If I said I would do something like phyziri and it turned out to be smaller than expected, making it difficult to fit between my breasts, the atmosphere would become awkward.

The CG scenes that appeared during gameplay were all pixelated, so I didn’t really see Edan’s size, and I mostly skipped over scenes of Release being raped because they felt uncomfortable.

There was a time when I went into the bathroom with him, saying I would massage his back, but even then, I didn’t pay attention to Edan’s legs.

I didn’t want to seem like a crazy pervert by staring at his legs when I went in to massage his back.

‘Perhaps just using my hands is the safest option.’

…The problem was how to naturally get Edan to take off his pants in front of me.

It was strange to immediately ask him to take off his pants as soon as I said I would give him a victory reward.

But it also didn’t seem natural to undress Edan’s pants and underwear in the middle of a situation where my chest was being touched.

And by that point, it would be difficult for me to focus, let alone undress him, and Edan would be concentrating on my chest, making it hard for him to undress himself…

‘Ah, really. Why am I even thinking about this?’

Come to think of it, the victory reward wasn’t something we had originally agreed to give.

Edan just suddenly demanded something from me, and technically speaking, I didn’t have any obligation to give Edan a reward for winning against me.

After all, the promise I made with Edan was only to allow “chest touching” in the event of a victory in the duel against Harold.

There was never a specific reward set for winning completely or overwhelming the opponent.

It was Edan who changed the rules arbitrarily, not me, so I didn’t really need to follow those rules obediently…

“…Hey, let’s not be too harsh. If we agreed to give, then we should give.”

He may only be halfway a man, but going back on his word was a shameful act regardless of gender.

And if you think of it as a way to repay him for saving his life twice, it was somewhat acceptable.

So, back to the main point, how can I naturally remove Edan’s pants tonight?

Somehow, a natural way…

“Rilis.”

“Yes, Lord Edan.”

“…Would you like to take a bath first? Or should Rilis prepare and bathe first?”

“It’s okay. It won’t take long to prepare, so please go ahead and take a bath first, as usual, Lord Edan.”

“…Alright then.”

With a slightly reddened face, Edan entered the dressing room, probably thinking about what would happen tonight.

I managed to hide the fact that I was contemplating, and pushed Edan into the bathroom first.

As I pondered on the natural way to remove Edan’s pants again, I could hear the sound of Edan washing his body inside the bathroom.

-Splash!

“….”

-Splash, splash!

…Huh?

Wait, do I really need to remove them during the act?

If the act starts with them already removed, Edan might naturally accept it.

For example, pretending to bathe together and then starting to touch him naturally, like touching his hands, could be one way.

Moreover, if the act is resolved in the bathroom, the aftermath would be much simpler than doing it outside.

It would be better to take off the gloves to avoid getting dirty, and since I might touch his chest, it would be better to wear a maid outfit that doesn’t get wet…

“…Maybe it’s better for me to undress too?”

At the same time, in the dormitory bathroom.

While Rilis was contemplating what to give Edan as a “complete victory reward,” her master, Edan, was also thinking about a similar matter.

“Come to think of it, did I say something unnecessary?”

Edan, who was immersed in the joy of winning for the first time against his father, suddenly realized that he had spoken unnecessarily about a “complete victory reward” to Rilis.

Sitting at the dormitory table, he looked at Rilis, who seemed to be thinking about what reward to give him, and felt even more awkward.

“If I knew it would be this awkward, I should have just taken the lead naturally.”

In the first place, Edan didn’t want anything big.

He just wanted to slightly escalate from the usual chest touching to a kiss.

The two kisses they had shared so far were somewhat lacking in the true sense of a kiss.

The first kiss, which was for life-saving purposes, goes without saying.

And the second kiss, where their lips barely touched, was more like a peck on the lips than a kiss.

He hoped to have a more intimate kiss, like a true lover, with their lips touching for a longer time.

When Edan thought about it, it seemed that quietly meeting lips in a natural atmosphere was more palatable than bringing up stories like ‘victory rewards’ to Lilith.

“They say that girls usually prefer guys who lead them.”

Since Lilith was also a girl, it wasn’t much different.

In that sense, Edan’s actions towards Lilith could be seen as the worst, or even as a pathetic act of handing over the lead to Lilith.

“Sigh….”

– Knock knock!

Edan, trying to dispel his troubled feelings by pouring the warm water Lilith’s spirit had heated onto his head.

Through his ears, familiar knocking sounds could be heard from outside the bathroom.

– Knock, knock, knock.

“…Lilith?”

Isabel, quick to catch on, had entered her room first, so the one knocking was undoubtedly Lilith.

And as he expected, the familiar voice he had in mind answered from outside the door.

“Uh, Master Edan….”

“What’s the matter? If it’s clothes to change into, you can leave them in front as usual….”

“Um, I’ve come to deliver the victory reward that Master Edan received from my father.”

“Now?”

“Yes, now.”

“……”

“May I come in, Master Edan?”

“Just a moment…. Just wait.”

He wasn’t sure what Lilith had prepared as a victory reward that made her suddenly come into the bathroom, but facing Lilith in his current completely naked state was quite embarrassing for Edan.

After hastily tying a towel around his waist, he answered.

“You can come in now.”

“Yes. I will come in.”

Perhaps she wanted to push his back like she did during the bath last time.

It wasn’t the reward he had hoped for, but even that much was not so bad.

Anyway, Edan could be satisfied enough just knowing that Lilith was thinking of something for him and doing it for him.

So, at first, Edan, who was waiting for Lilith in maid attire without much thought, was greeted by a much more dangerously dressed woman than he had imagined.

-Creak.

“…Excuse me.”

“…Huh?”

Expecting her to appear in maid attire or academy uniform, Edan was even more flustered when he saw Lilith’s outfit.

The first thing that caught his eye was her white thighs.

And her buttocks and waist, barely covered by a single towel.

Even her chest, which he had seen more than ten times, was only half-heartedly covered by a towel, giving off a more provocative vibe.

With only a head dress above the towel, Lilith’s appearance left Edan speechless, unable to react.

“Please don’t stare so openly, Master Edan.”

“Ah, um…! I’m sorry….”

Edan had no reason to apologize. Perhaps no matter which man he brought, their gaze would have been drawn to her in that situation.

To Edan, who had only seen Lilith’s chest until now, her naked body was a strong stimulus.

Apologizing abruptly, Edan turned his gaze away, and Lilith approached him cautiously from behind and quietly knelt down.

“I-I will start by massaging your back, Master Edan.”

“Uh, okay….”

“If possible…. please don’t turn your gaze back. I’m not quite mentally prepared yet….”

“Ah, okay…. I won’t turn it….”

Suppressing his desire to face her body, Edan somehow managed to keep his gaze fixed forward.

Sitting behind him, Lilith gently massaged his back with a bath towel.

“….”

“….”

In the quiet silence where not a single word was exchanged, only the sound of two people’s breathing could be heard. The scratching sound of the bath towel in Lily’s hand slowly filled the bathroom.
