Eve’s confession of wanting to get pregnant, despite being a virgin. Parts of the process have already been revealed.

However, that’s Eve’s perspective. Nari found it extremely sudden. It was inevitable. Eve, still not used to honesty, couldn’t control herself.

What that means is, while the seed of that emotion sprouted and grew in her heart, Eve couldn’t be honest. She couldn’t confide even as leaves unfurled and flowers bloomed. But the moment it bore fruit, for some reason, she felt she absolutely had to speak.

In a barren garden, she looked away for a moment, only to find a bunch of fruits hanging heavy. That was Nari’s reaction to Eve’s confession.

She was surprised enough to feel a chill down her spine. That doesn’t mean she disliked it, of course. If a huge gourd rolled into your front yard, vine and all, who would refuse it?

Of course, to open that gourd, she needed to know its origin. Laying hands on someone else’s gourd is embezzlement. No matter that Eve is an adult, it’s only natural to wonder what made her make such a thrilling confession.

Sadly, it was a single thread of thought in Eve’s mind. The following details are Eve’s inner thoughts, which even Narita Floraine Naifrantz, the unparalleled, could not fully grasp.

The Incident. It began the moment she regained her memories.

Eve’s causality was completely severed by Nari, and when she opened her eyes again, the last remaining memory was the edge of that adventure. The moment she was carried on Adam’s back, searching for the village lights.

Regaining consciousness in a soft bed and crisp white sheets was disorienting. Furthermore, there was a lot of expensive furniture, the room was overwhelmingly large, and a noble-looking being was staring intently at her.

While a sense of déjà vu, as if she’d been reborn, lingered, the conversation continued. Meanwhile, for some reason, she felt she had to hold onto this Narita princess who was trying to leave. Something lost was calling to her.

It was Eve’s memory. The moment she grabbed Nari’s hand, the severed memories flooded back like a tsunami. And she recalled the words she had to say.

“Thank you for giving me… the chance to repay this kindness.”

The joy of seeing her again. And boundless gratitude for everything. Memories poured in, overflowing, and her pounding heart churned out words like a factory. She couldn’t stop talking.

An intense happiness she could savor for a lifetime surged in an instant, and Eve felt she should devote her entire remaining life to loving only Nari and serving only Nari.

Meanwhile, in Eve’s heart, where all emotions had burned like a large fire, a small seed remained unburnt.

Development. An unburnable emotion that Eve’s naive heart could never extinguish… In the ashes of love, it sprouted: “lust.”

She had just embraced Nari as if possessed, but now Eve was naked, without a thread on her. Even for an ordinary woman, it wouldn’t be a pleasant situation, let alone for someone she loved to death.

Even after regaining her memories of the regression, that causality still existed within Nari in the form of aether. All that remained for Eve was the memory in her head; the uncomfortable magic that permeated her body was gone.

In short, the memories of the regression had changed into something other than memories, like books on a shelf, easily accessible. Eve’s true yesterday, the yesterday her body felt…

“Are you cold?”

“Yes… but you’re warm…”

It’s the night she huddled with Adam by a campfire in the forest, soaked to the bone in the rain, kissing him.

Not the memories obtained through the “total recall” function, but “real” memories, where sensations revived, intertwined perfectly with the sensations of reality.

A sweat-drenched body, the fragrant scent of skin, and scorching breath and a heart that felt like it would burst. Even without a mirror, Eve knew what color her face was.

When she barely managed to separate from Nari thanks to Yuri’s intervention, she thought she was truly lucky.

But that was a mistake. There was nothing less embarrassing, only more so. Yuri’s “preliminary education,” which began in an instant, exceeded all limits.

She talked about how the hole is lower than you think, how squeezing it tighter when it hurts, makes it hurt more, and that being clumsy yet pretending to be confident and proactive is actually harmful; she should simply leave it all to Nari.

It took quite an effort to stop Yuri from taking off her panties and pulling out a large pink rod from a display case, trying to provide audio-visual materials.

That night, Eve, with Yuri’s intensive lecture swirling in her head, had her first ever masturbation experience.

Time moves forward to the following afternoon. She had no time for other thoughts as she actually went on a date with Nari.

Crisis. It wasn’t particularly dangerous, but the moment that fundamentally changed Eve arrives.

She witnessed a merchant delivering food to the orphanage.

Eve decided to no longer turn her back on this world, to accept it willingly. It was because her greatest need had been fulfilled—something even more important than the survival instinct.

With a warm belly and full back, your attention turns to self-realization. That’s how most thinking humans are. Eve was in that situation.

Turning her gaze beyond her small fence, the first emotion she felt when encountering others was “warmth.”

It’s not necessarily because her magic is mainly ice-based. Eve had treated others coldly until now. But she had no intention of doing so. The world was simply bitterly cold, so she responded in kind.

However, meeting Nari in this life made her recall things she had forgotten: the warmth of her parents, a friend’s kindness, the gentleness of love.

Those things were all absent from Eve’s life. She knew it, but she pretended not to know, using pain as an excuse to forget. She only huddled in the cold, never thinking to share her warmth.

When you lack something that others possess, you naturally come to admire them. Eve, too, felt the world’s warm first impression, and a desire to become like them welled up.

Climax. Eve, who was escorting the merchant’s carriage to the Karmoer Marquisate, initially intended to leave immediately.

“Oh, come on, stay for a meal!”

“I know we’re lacking so much, how could I possibly—”

“It’s all thanks to the sorceress, you know. It’s because of you that these children will sleep with full bellies tonight.”

She willingly joined them for dinner. Even though she was sitting at the outer table with Nari, children came one by one to express their gratitude.

“Thank you!”

“That’s right, eat a lot.”

Children born into an unfortunate era, forced to grow up parentless from such a young age. Eve couldn’t help but feel it was personal.

One child caught her eye more than others: a girl in worn-out clothes, huddled in a corner.

Her heart ached. What had this child done to deserve this? Did she sell her country in a past life?

A beating feels good when you know the reason for it. But what if you don’t know why you’re being hit, where you’re being hit, or what happens when you’re hit, and you’re hit repeatedly against your will?

It’s pure torture. Eve knew this better than anyone else because she had lived that life.

She approached the child and shared her soup. The child, after watching Eve cautiously, slowly began to eat, spoonful by spoonful.

The child’s hands moved faster and faster. She must have been terribly hungry. Because she ate so quickly, Eve patted her back, telling her to eat slowly.

On their way back after the meal, the children and the merchant came out to see them off. It was a heartwarming and touching sight.

Tat-tat-tat-

But a small girl suddenly darted out from the group and hugged Eve’s legs. It was the child she’d shared soup with.

“…Thank you.”

“That’s right, if you’re hungry, you absolutely have to eat. Don’t ever hold back.”

“Can I… become an amazing adult like you, too?”

“…….”

Eve couldn’t answer right away. She doubted herself. An amazing adult? She felt she was far from being such a person.

Wild, cold, indecisive, unable to read other’s feelings, and not even knowing her own feelings well. The child saw only a fragmentary image of her.

Then… what about Eve? Did she feel the merchant’s warmth by seeing all aspects of him? No. She also only saw his actions for the day.

That’s how people are. They tend to mistake a part for the whole. Nothing is eternal, nothing is complete.

Therefore, she couldn’t deny the child’s words. The child simply expressed what she felt, seeing Eve.

“…Yes, of course.”

As Eve smiled, stroking the child’s head, the child’s eyes shone brightly. Even if it was just a small word to Eve, it might have been a tremendous force that turned the child’s life upside down.

Eve felt her heart warm. And something she desperately wanted arose within her.

She wants to give love. But Nari alone isn’t enough. She wants to shower even more love on a child just like her and Nari, to eventually become a “mother to look up to.”

Eve looked at Nari. Nari walked on, oblivious.

And she came to the conclusion to engulf such a Nari

.

.

.

Eve buried her face in Nari’s embrace. Perhaps because of a slight fever, beads of sweat glistened and flowed down the valleys of her skin.

The sound of Nari’s pounding heart. Today, even this bold heartbeat sounds lovely.

She slightly raised her head, peeking out only her eyes. Nari, too, embraced Eve, staring intently at her.

The branches obscuring the sky swayed slightly in the breeze, and through the gaps, the moonlight briefly touched Nari’s face. It was a short moment, but Eve clearly saw her cheeks flushed red.

Nari was trembling. She was excited. She was embarrassed. It wasn’t just her own feeling. That fact made Eve bolder.

Eve grabbed Nari’s shoulders and leaned in. Their chests pressed together, feeling like they were hugging with four soft cushions between them.

Pale blue hair flowed over Nari’s face. Eve swept the two-toned hair aside, meeting Nari’s gaze.

Then, she leaned in to kiss, and whispered in Nari’s ear,

The line Yuri taught her.

“I… want to get pregnant. Fill me up with your seed, mess me up, and make me pregnant…♡”

That was when

Nari grabbed Eve’s collar and rolled to the side. Eve, who had been in a position to pin her down, instantly found herself sprawled on the dirt.

This time, Nari whispered in Eve’s ear.

“I won’t stop until you’re pregnant.”

That single sentence sent shivers through Eve’s body. Her body slowly relaxed, leaving everything to Nari.
