Blink- blink-

I don’t even know when I woke up. When I came to, I was endlessly staring at a familiar-looking chandelier.

It’s the ceiling above my bed. When did I get that… It’s a luxury item I impulse-bought because it looked pretty when I went somewhere.

Thud-thud—

“…Ugh.”

That’s not the problem right now. Only moans escape my immobile body. Every single joint and muscle aches and throbs. I have neither the will nor the strength to overcome that pain and move.

Even worse, I have absolutely no feeling in my crotch area. Is this what it feels like to be anesthetized before circumcision? I’ve never had it done, but it feels like my cock and lower abdomen have completely disappeared.

Even so, I resent my cock, which is slowly trying to get up because it’s morning and wants to get hard. I have no sensation, but it feels like that. I’m afraid that if I leave it alone, I will be in trouble, so I mentally focused hard on my third older brother.

My mood instantly soured, and the blood that was heading downwards surged to my head. Mission complete.

“Haa…aa…”

I know that my memory cut out after my first night with Eve. But for some reason, I don’t feel like figuring out what happened before or after. I just don’t think about anything.

I don’t want to do anything; I just want to go back to sleep.

“…Oh.”

I really did doze off. But I’m still tired. I know what this is. It’s that phenomenon where you get even more tired after sleeping too long.

But I don’t want to move…

“…Ugh.”

Just as I was about to close my eyes again and send my soul far away, a moan came from beside me. It was exactly the same sound, only the voice was different.

I slowly turned my head. My body still ached, but this time, I had a reason to endure the pain.

Click-

I greeted Eve, putting my face next to hers.

“Goo… good morning.”

“…Good?”

“…Not really good.”

Thud-thud-

Eve also turned her head towards me, her brow furrowed. As soon as our eyes met, we both burst out laughing.

“…Ha. You’re ugly.”

“Says you. Your eyes are bloodshot.”

“Your blood vessels are broken, too. Aren’t your eyes also dry?”

“Actually, I can’t open my eyes…”

Frowning eyes and a smiling mouth. Eve, her face contorted, placed her hand on my cheek and sent mana flowing. A warm feeling spread across my face, and I slowly began to feel more comfortable.

I also placed my hand on her cheek and infused her with aether. The wrinkles on her forehead and the bloodshot red lines in the whites of her eyes gradually faded away.

I kissed her softly on her smiling lips.

“Good morning… again.”

“Yeah. Did you sleep well?”

“I slept well. But my memory is a little… hazy.”

“If we do this, maybe our memory will return—”

Smack-

Eve kissed me again. She hugged my neck tightly, our bodies pressed close together. Stiff nipples crushed against stiff nipples.

“Hmm… I don’t know. It seems like it will, and it seems like it won’t…”

“Want to do it again?”

“Yeah.”

This time, she didn’t raise her face but closed her eyes gently. I slid my tongue into the slightly parted pink lips of Eve and sucked.

Plop- slurp-

At some point, our legs were intertwined. Our touching bodies unconsciously wriggled and rubbed against each other.

Just as our breath was about to build up, someone else’s touch separated us.

“…Seriously.”

“Doing this again right after waking up?”

Was it because we were too focused? We hadn’t even realized someone was approaching. We were already surrounded by Yuri and the others.

“That was really dangerous, you know?”

“Yeah… sorry.”

“Sorry, my foot… You know we weren’t actually that dangerously close to death, right?”

“…Yeah.”

In fact, if both Eve and I wanted to, we could recover instantly. Our mana had recovered while we were sleeping, and the reason we didn’t use healing magic right away was simply because we were too lazy.

If it had been a life-threatening problem, we would have thought about it more seriously.

“…What does it feel like to die of pleasure?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know. Even if I knew, I’m sure it’d be impossible to write a review on it.”

Yuri and Nyx exchanged nonsense while helping us get up and preparing clothes for us. When I shrugged off the covers, we were already cleaned.

“You bathed us, too? Thank you.”

“Yes… well. It wasn’t just a bath, I essentially boiled you both.”

“Even that… thank you.”

It seems that our ‘we’ll be fine since we won’t die anyway’ level is slowly rising. For some reason, I don’t think I’ll die beautifully either.

Wearing thin indoor dresses, Eve and I followed Yuri downstairs.

Oh, now that I think about it, this wasn’t the royal palace, it’s the Philbrogue mansion. My judgment must’ve been impaired while I was sleeping.

I actually bought two chandeliers. The merchant was just too good at selling.

Going downstairs, everyone was gathered in the kitchen. Tier and Aspi, who aren’t very talented in cooking, were sitting quietly, assisting Lulu and Yuri.

“Oh, you’re awake. Are you feeling better?”

“Yeah. Good morning, everyone. My lifespan might have shortened a bit, but other than that, I’m fine.”

“…….”

“Good morning, Tier, too.”

Tier turned her head with a “hmph.” Then she tapped the large staff leaning against the table with her knee. Interpreting her inner thoughts, it means she’s showing off that she was the one who healed us from our exhaustion.

“Yeah, thanks.”

“…Mhm.”

Ignoring her reddened profile, I sat down at the table. I also pulled out the chair next to me for Eve to sit down.

Creak-

Only after the cooking team, who had finished preparing breakfast, had also sat down, did I finally feel like everything was settled.

“Thank you for the food.”

“Let’s eat~”

Eating breakfast huddled around a large table. What a peaceful and heartwarming sight. Just looking at it makes me feel relaxed in body and mind.

“Don’t just throw away the soybeans, Nyx. It’s bad for your health if you’re picky, you know?”

“…….”

“What are you looking at… Oh.”

Nyx, whose taste has become too refined, is once again being picky with the side dishes. Lulu, feeling irritated by the difference in their figure ,educates Nyx at the dining table.

“C…Can I have one more serving?”

“Certainly. You’re going out to the recovery site again today, right? Have a good, full meal before you go.”

“Thank you… very much.”

Aspi eats well, in line with her high activity level. I almost felt guilty for her eating so much, but seeing Yuri’s mountain of food, I felt relieved.

It’s not that only those working outside have high activity levels. Yuri, who takes on all kinds of odd jobs, also has a high activity level.

“Ah, as a wife, I’m your senior… Don’t wander around too much. Hmph…”

“…Yes, ma’am.”

“You’ll be tired, so eat more meat… Why are you laughing?”

“No, it’s just… Hehe.”

Tier, who keeps an eye on Eve, the youngest in ‘that hierarchy’, but is still honest in her heart, and serves her food. Eve smiles happily at her.

It’s truly a picture-like scene.

“Aren’t you eating, Noona?”

“…No. I’ll eat.”

Just watching fills me up, but if I just watch, their heart will get hungry, so I pick up my spoon and start tasting the food.

As always, it’s perfect healthy food. No one could disagree with Yuri’s cooking skills.

Putting various things in my mouth while listening quietly, at some point, the topic turned to Eve and me.

“So… are you both remembering?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, I mean…”

Eve and I were surprised and looked at each other. We heard that the number of days and nights we were together exceeded a few days and nights.

Nyx, who was accompanying us to the Karmoor territory, had cast a barrier of black fog when they saw us entering the forest. She thought we would just roll around and fall asleep for a short while.

I thought it was a little strange, too. It felt like at least ten hours had passed, but the sun hadn’t risen. But after a certain point, my head stopped working properly.

I had no idea we would spend a whole week having non-stop sex… I didn’t know, Eve didn’t know, and Nyx, who put up the barrier, didn’t know either.

We awkwardly laughed, but as our eyes met, both of our cheeks flushed red.

“I’ll do it for the next two weeks… So just keep that in mind, everyone.”

“I’ll do it for a month!”

“Can you even last that long? You’re a spirit who only became physically mature a year ago.”

“Hmph, Tier can’t last that long either.”

The topic of conversation gradually shifted to the order in which we will take turns having my next sleep, and after a heated debate, we reached an agreement for all five at once.

“Excuse me, what about my opinion?”

“…♡”

“Whoa—”

Ten glittering eyes were too scary, so I cautiously slipped out of the Philbrogue mansion.

The boisterous atmosphere of the mansion was so warm. I never knew family could be so warm. I should have confessed sooner and gathered everyone together.

“…Haha.”

Whoosh-

A spring breeze blew. I realized that a lot of time had passed. Surely, gaining reproductive capacity and my child being born wouldn’t be too far in the future.

No matter what happens, I must protect them. Really… no matter what.

I used aether to create a white dress and put it on, then left the Philbrogue mansion and headed toward the Ubiet Empire.

I just couldn’t stay still. I felt like someone was watching us from beyond the sky, from the faraway cosmos.
