Homecoming

As I watched the carriage leave and turned my head, I saw the Workshop, which felt like I hadn’t seen it in a very long time.

Seeing that the Security Device was intact, it seemed there had been no particular problem.

“Asha-nim’s home!”

“… Mm.”

Cecil, wearing a large backpack, was bouncing around. For some reason, she seemed even more excited than I was.

Could returning to the Workshop be that good?

After calming down the bouncing Cecil, I deactivated the Security Device that was set up around the Workshop. As the blue light surrounding the Workshop disappeared, the Workshop, which had appeared slightly blurry, revealed its clear form.

“Let’s go in.”

“Yes! Asha-nim!”

As I opened the main gate, Cecil dashed inside.

The backpack hanging on her back sagged, looking extremely heavy, but Cecil didn’t seem to mind at all.

“Be careful not to fall.”

Just as I was about to follow Cecil, who was waving her hands around, and step through the main gate, a noisy sound reached my ears. It wasn’t directed at the Workshop, but it clearly echoed in my ears.

‘…What is it?’

I looked around, and… it seemed like some building was being constructed at the edge of my vision.

Was something like that… there before?

Well, I hadn’t bought all the surrounding land, so it wasn’t strange for something to appear at any time, but it was a bit sudden. The place where I built the Workshop… the location wasn’t that good.

If you compare it to my past life’s world, it was like you had to go to the Town to do anything. That’s why, when I built the Workshop, I added this and that, spending quite a lot of money… Anyway, this isn’t particularly important.

‘Well, some rich parvenu must be building a Villa or something.’

It’s quiet, and there’s no better place for healing.

Although they are destroying that tranquility themselves, won’t it be resolved later?

Thinking nothing of it, I stepped through the main gate and entered the Workshop.

Since I arrived quite early, I first put down my luggage and did some light cleaning.

Since I built the Workshop, this was the longest Outing I’d had… so cleaning itself felt a bit unfamiliar, but I managed to get it done somehow.

It was really fortunate that Cecil was here. If I had been alone, I would have kept postponing it and just lived like that.

…Though, it was pretty much because of Cecil that I went out in the first place.

After finishing the cleaning, I wiped down my body, which was covered in dust.

It seemed like there would be trouble if we went in together, so I had Cecil wash first. Cecil seemed to want to wash together, but when I said I had things to do, she walked to the Bathroom with a sulky face.

…My heart softened a little, but I forced myself to shake my head.

After sending Cecil to the Bathroom, I brushed off the dust from my body outside and took out a gown from the wardrobe to put on.

Putting on the gown after a long time… made me feel like I had to work quickly. Is this what they call an occupational hazard?

I chuckled to myself inwardly and organized the contents of the backpack that Cecil had brought.

 After concentrating for a while, I soon heard the sound of a door opening. When I turned my head, I saw Cecil opening the door and entering.

Her pure white skin was slightly flushed red from the hot water, and it felt moist.

“Asha-nim! Cecil is all washed!”

“… Cecil.”

Cecil’s hair, as she came dashing over, still looked damp.

I sighed inwardly and took Cecil’s warm hand, heading to the Bathroom. I took out a towel and dried Cecil’s soaking wet hair.

“Thank you, Asha-nim!”

“… Next time, it would be good to dry it properly.”

“Cecil will try her best!”

“Alright….”

With a languid arm, I stroked Cecil’s hair, which was now soft and well-dried.

“Then, for today, could you first wipe up the water you spilled on the floor?”

“Yes!”

“Once you’ve wiped it all up… Hmm, go to the Kitchen first. Let’s eat.”

Cecil nodded and dashed out.

Along with the sound of the wind, Cecil’s body scent dispersed. I scratched my head for a moment, then gathered my clothes and returned to the Bathroom.

Standing under the showerhead I had installed, I was reminded anew of the day I first met Cecil.

Cecil, as I saw her back then… exuded a mysterious aura. Her rare silver hair and blood-red eyes.

Her pure white naked body, wearing nothing, was small in stature, but her proportions, including her swelling breasts, were fantastic.

Then… with an innocent face that seemed to not understand anything, the image of her scanning that large thing attached to her body came to mind, and my face flushed hot.

I pressed the button and turned on the water. With cold water, to chase away strange thoughts.

“Ah, it’s cold.”

… I was prepared for it, but it was too cold. Still, since I had chased away the strange fantasies, my goal was achieved.

I quickly switched back to hot water and took a shower.

Cecil would be waiting… so I should wash quickly.

After washing my body, now accustomed to it, I changed my clothes and put on my gown as usual. Except for the compulsion to work, it somehow even felt cozy.

I pulled out the hair that had gotten inside the gown and swept it back, then moved my steps towards the Kitchen. 

As I approached the Kitchen, I heard clattering sounds.

When I arrived in the Kitchen, Cecil was setting the table.

…Though it was just preserved foods that could be stored for a long time placed on the plates.

Cecil, who spotted me, smiled awkwardly and said,

“Asha-nim! There’s not much to eat.”

“… I forgot to buy some. Let’s go buy some tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

Sitting on a chair and eating with Cecil, my mind became complicated again. 

Things like, would there be Milk left at the Ranch I hadn’t visited in a while? When I actually went to the Capital, the trend seemed to have ended, but wouldn’t there be those who try to follow it belatedly?

‘What a shame.’

Recalling the taste of the ranch milk, my mouth watered.

As I wiped the corner of my mouth with the sleeve of my gown, a strange memory came to mind.

…the memory of drinking Cecil’s essence that was in the Milk.

I forced myself to shake my head to chase away the memory. 

“Asha-nim?”

As I straightened my head, red eyes filled with worry and question were looking at me. I forced a laugh and replied as if nothing was wrong.

“It’s nothing.”

“Is that so?”

Cecil tilted her head, but when I said it wasn’t, she obediently nodded.

…She’s very obedient.

Anyway, after finishing the meal, I stopped my steps that were unconsciously heading towards the Alchemy Workshop and headed to the Bedroom. Because the sun had set and it was getting dark.

Opening the smoothly opening bedroom door, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

‘Habits are scary for this reason.’

Even as I shook my head in astonishment at my body moving habitually without my knowledge,

…I felt strangely relieved.

Even though my body had changed, it felt like it was telling me that I was still me.

As I closed the Bedroom door, the Slime Bed, which I hadn’t seen in a very long time, greeted me.

‘…Is this going to be okay?’

With a ‘just in case’ thought, I poked it with my finger, but it only squished softly as before, showing no particular reaction.

Well, I bought it with a lot of money, so surely it wouldn’t be like that?

As I dove onto the bed with a whoosh, along with the sensation of sinking into the Water Bed, my body relaxed.

“…It’s nice.”

As I mumbled that, the moment I closed my eyes, I heard a knock.

Since Cecil was the only one who would knock, when I told her to come in, I saw Cecil holding a large pillow from her own bed. Seeing her cute appearance, dressed in her pajamas, a satisfied smile naturally appeared on my lips.

Cecil, carrying her pillow, who had scurried over, said in a cautious voice,

“Cecil, would it be alright if I sleep with Asha-nim?”

… Since there was no particular reason to refuse, when I nodded, Cecil, with a brightened face, lay down next to me with her pillow.

From Cecil, who clung to me, warm body heat and her unique body scent wafted over.

Strange thoughts kept coming to mind, so I forced myself to close my eyes.

Cecil seemed to have been secretly tired, as she soon breathed out even breaths towards me and fell asleep.

I was also tired, so I kept trying to chase away the strange thoughts that were invading my mind.

and drifted off to sleep.

Then, I opened my eyes to a strange sensation.

A feeling as if someone was fondling my body. And… I heard someone groaning beside me. It wasn’t a sound of pain, but it seemed a little distressed and also sweet… That kind of voice.

“Hmph!?”

And that sweet voice also escaped my lips.

It was strange.

Something soft and warm was fondling my body.

It burrowed between my hidden nipples, poking them, tick, tick, and wrapped around the protuberance of my lower body as if sucking it up.

“Aah!?”

At that moment, my body, heated by the shallow stimulation, reached its climax. My thighs, which already felt slightly damp, became sticky and wet. The liquid that was discharged seemed to have soaked into the Slime Bed, disappearing instantly.

Then, something began to press against my wet thighs. It was a greedy movement, as if it intended to suck up all the remaining liquid on my thighs.

My mind was in chaos.

What on earth is happening right now?

With half-closed eyes, I followed the groaning sound, and saw Cecil. Cecil, lying on her side and clinging to me… was stiffly erect and groaning.

…Though I couldn’t see everything, it was clear from her pajamas, which were greatly swollen.

The strange thing was… something seemed to be wriggling inside her pajamas….

It seemed that there was something else in the Room.

My heart pounded loudly. Out of fear of the uninvited guest that had suddenly appeared.

I took a deep breath to calm my body and stretched out my barely moving hand to shake Cecil.

“Ce-Cecil, wa-wake up….”

Even as I did so, the pleasure stimulating my body made my words twist.

Before long, Cecil, with a face flushed hot with excitement, sat up. She sniffed her nose, then looked at me.
