After spending a night playing with Ethan and the Maid.

After ejaculating four times in a row, I fell asleep next to Ethan, who was exhausted. When I woke up, it was already daylight.

‘I made a mistake.’

It was nice to have some alone time with Ethan, thinking that I would be able to sleep with him for the first time in a long time, but the result left me feeling somewhat empty.

I was so focused on satisfying Ethan’s walls that I couldn’t really have a proper relationship with him.

Of course, Ethan seemed to have been more intense than usual because he enjoyed being held in my arms and treated like a young master… but to be honest, I didn’t feel like my libido had been completely released.

… the things I had prepared for in case it happened later became meaningless.

‘Still, I don’t feel so bad since I saw a side of Ethan I hadn’t seen before…’

Still, umm.

I also wonder if there might be a way for both of us to enjoy it more.

But yesterday could be seen as something similar to Ethan beating Harold, so I don’t think it really matters.

‘It’s funny that we’re practically a married couple, but we worry about things like this.’

Maybe I should use something like the YES or NO pillow that often appears in comics. But since such a cult product can’t be sold in this world, I’d have to make it myself.

… Come to think of it, there’s no need to make a NO pillow, so it might not take that long?

“Ugh, ugh… .”

“Did you sleep well, Ethan?”

“… Release? What time is it now?”

“It’s 7 in the morning. If I don’t get ready and leave, I’ll be late for my morning class.”

Judging from his reaction, it seems like Ethan just woke up from a fainted sleep.

He collapsed as soon as he ejaculated for the fourth time, but he didn’t wake up looking particularly masculine. I had cleaned up Ethan’s disheveled clothes the night before.

He also licked the sticky liquid on my lower body cleanly and washed it away.

“Sorry. I fell asleep alone last night. I couldn’t do anything for Lilith, and I ended up being satisfied with myself… .”

“It’s okay. Rather, I was happy? Because Ethan seemed to really like the event I prepared.”

“… I was so happy that I couldn’t even say it wasn’t that great, even if I were lying.”

“I’ll do it again next time. It might be a little difficult to do it every day, but I’ll do it sometimes on special days.”

“… Okay. Thank you.”

Although he said thank you in words, his voice sounded a bit tired, as if he felt strangely sorry for falling asleep first last night.

Well, men originally get pleasure from subduing women in bed.

Even if you played according to your sexual preferences, it might feel humiliating to fall before a woman.

… Clearly, I lived as a man for about 20 years, but seeing that I made this mistake shows that I still have a lot to learn about sleeping between men and women.

“Eww, ewww!!”

“Ah, uh, Eris… ? Okay, wait a minute, I’ll bring mom now… .”

But these random thoughts had to be stopped by the sound of Iris’s cries that could be heard since morning.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

Since Iris was away and couldn’t attend the long-distance exploration classes, most of Ethan and I’s lectures were filled with regular lectures.

Of course, there was the magic swordsmanship class that I had never missed a single semester, and with the exception of one or two exploratory classes, most of the classes were the types of classes I took at the academy.

Fortunately, I had taken all of the exploratory studies classes in my third year, so I had more than enough credits to graduate.

“That’s why you always have to listen carefully to what the contracted spirit says~. The spirits will disappear if they think the contracted spirit isn’t listening to them~. The offended spirits usually spend time alone in places that suit their nature… .”

… That aside, who would have thought that I would be taking Professor Erin’s spirit studies class again?

As I watched Professor Half-Fulling passionately lecturing to the students of the Ministry of Magic in front of the classroom, I felt a strange sense of inferiority rising inside me.

When I first entered the academy, I was bragging to Agnes about catching spirits and such, but now I was lonely without Sally or Say by my side.

‘It seems like it’s already been a year since I last saw Seiran…’

Fortunately, the contract status remains intact. Because of the rule that the contractor and the spirit must always remain within a certain distance, I also move at a certain distance whenever I move.

However, the problem is that the range of that certain distance is quite large… Roughly speaking, it covers the entire Island of Knowledge where the Academy is located.

In that situation, Sei was angry at me and decided to hide, so it’s already been a year since I’ve been able to meet her. Without Sei, I also meet Sally, who is like a piece of gum, less often.

‘I hope we can reconcile at least before we graduate from the academy.’

The only means of increasing my spirit affinity that I could use was to take Professor Erin Esilda’s class at the academy.

If Sayi doesn’t appear before my eyes after taking Professor Erin’s class this semester and next semester… then it’s not too late to consider it impossible to meet her again in this life.

The lifespan of a spirit is much longer than that of a human, and the ‘little while’ that a spirit gets angry and leaves a human’s side is comparable to a human’s ‘lifetime’.

The scene where a spirit realizes that human life was short and regrets it only after the contract between him and humans is broken is also dealt with once in the story of ‘Luminor Academy’.

… Of course, I didn’t want Sei to go through that. Even though it was only a few years, there were quite a few times when I got out of a crisis thanks to Sei.

“So, when your relationship with a spirit goes wrong, it’s important to let it out as quickly as possible. Spirits are quick-tempered, so if they get angry and don’t apologize within 3 years, they’ll hold those feelings in for a long time.

When dispelling the spirits’ anger, objects with natural energy are often effective. For example, the spirit of fire has volcanic rocks with the energy of lava left behind, and the spirit of the earth has~.”

“… … .”

“… And the thing that wind spirits like the most is the feather of the wind bird~. If there are any students who are on bad terms with the wind spirits, I hope you take note of this~.”

“Professor, where can I get the feathers of the wind bird?”

“The process of finding that wind bird is an effort to reconcile with the wind spirit. If you search hard enough, you can find it within 1~2 years, so don’t worry~.”

… Anyway, this is the sense of time of the longevity species.

Still, I was starting to get a sense of how to reconcile with Seiwa. After all, whether it was a person or a spirit, a gift offensive was the best way to lighten the mood.

The question of where to obtain the feathers of the wind bird, which are considered artifacts even in the Luminor Academy, is something that we will have to think about again from now on.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

I don’t know if it just felt that way, but this year’s Academy was the most peaceful I’ve ever been to.

Perhaps the fact that the hero party members graduated is a big reason. It was always a cliche at the academy that something would happen if a hero or a companion remained at the academy.

Just looking at the incidents I was involved in, there were battles fought in the exploration of humanities and oceanography, and the kidnapping of Princess Mezlen.

This is just the incidents that Ethan and I got involved in that had nothing to do with the warrior party, but in reality, we would probably handle events about once a month. If we include events where only the warrior party deals with them, or where we take a few heroines and move around.

‘It’s not such a bad thing that the Academy is peaceful with Iris around.’

If an event like ‘The Four Heavenly Kings Attacked the Academy!’ suddenly happened, it would be quite tiring just to run away with Iris.

In that sense, it seems like this year is the only semester where I can raise Iris and attend the academy.

Still, it’s a bit disappointing that the experience event that was quite rewarding is gone. Personally, I think the most rewarding experience was gained by going around with a warrior party.

After finishing my academy classes this year and returning to Blackwood Manor, I would have to focus on parenting and Duchess classes in earnest, so there wouldn’t be many situations where I would be able to gain experience points in this way.

… Although the Duchess says that leveling up and increasing combat power isn’t necessarily a necessary skill, anyway.

As I have more things to worry about, I feel like I have more and more distracting thoughts. My situation has changed so drastically that I can’t just worry about my academy life.

As I was walking past the theology building and toward the central library, thinking about going to the library for a bit before Ethan’s class ended,

“… Sister Lily?”

… A long-forgotten voice came to my ear.
