Wah

At the sudden voice and gaze, Veronica and Ariel exchanged glances for a moment.

Quick-witted Claudia noticed something was amiss and her eyes darted around to grasp the situation.

Meanwhile, Cecil, unaware of anything, was approaching the bed to meet Asha.

“Asha-nim.”

“….”

When Cecil’s voice was heard, Asha, still in Ariel’s arms, peeked her face over Ariel’s shoulder.

Cecil, who was looking at Asha blinking her half-closed eyes and staring at her, asked in a worried voice.

“Are you alright?”

“…Milk.”

“Asha-nim?”

Ariel sighed inwardly at Cecil’s face, who was tilting her head while looking at Asha.

It was because she realized this wasn’t a matter to bicker over.

‘…It seems I was briefly jinxed.’

Ariel gently stroked Asha’s light pink hair, which was peeking over her shoulder. 

Her tangled hair straightened and loosened.

And then, looking at Cecil, who was fidgeting due to Asha’s lack of response, she opened her mouth.

“Child, Asha is still very sick.”

“Is that so….”

“You might catch it, so it would be best for you to return to your room.”

“But….”

Cecil glanced at the three other people in the room besides herself, and mumbled.

Ariel, realizing the meaning in her gaze, smiled bitterly.

“Everyone will return soon. It’s not just you I’m telling to go back… so don’t be too disheartened.”

“I understand….”

At Ariel’s words, Cecil finally nodded.

“Asha-nim, please get well soon so we can go to the sea together again with Cecil….”

“Yes, I’ll tell her once my disciple comes to her senses, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you.”

Cecil bowed her head in farewell and turned to leave.

Though she kept looking back as if she had lingering regrets.

Thus, only the three people who sensed a strange atmosphere remained in the room.

Veronica, blankly staring at Asha, who had peeked her head over Ariel’s shoulder.

Claudia, looking alternately at the box Veronica was holding and Asha with strange eyes.

Ariel pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth.

With Cecil gone, there was nothing to hold back.

“It seems our shameless disciple-nim wants breast milk.”

“….”

“Pfft.”

“So, who would be the right person to give it to her….”

Ariel looked at Claudia.

Her uniquely large chest, despite not having taken the Breast-enlargement Potion.

‘…It seems she might suffocate while sucking.’

She worried that if Claudia took the enlargement potion, Asha wouldn’t even be able to nurse, but might suffocate to death instead.

In that sense, Claudia was disqualified.

Ariel looked at Veronica, who was holding the box.

‘…It seems there won’t be a problem.’

It would be fine if Ariel herself fed her.

But now that she thought about it, letting her disciple suckle her breast felt… a bit indecent.

So… it would be right to yield.

Ariel, shaking her head at the earlier disgrace, continued.

“It seems the Mercenary-yangban would have difficulty due to her size, so I think it would be better for Veronica-yang to feed her… What do you think?”

Then Claudia, as if tired, stretched and replied.

Her uniquely prominent chest boasted its elasticity and changed shape.

“Well… it’s a shame, but it can’t be helped.”

Claudia, muttering that, left the room saying she would bring food later.

Veronica, who had actually insisted on taking the pill herself, blushed crimson and nodded slightly when the opportunity was passed to her.

‘…I also think it’s a bit harsh to tell a young lady to do that.’

After all, she wouldn’t have any experience with pregnancy, would she?

Of course, the same went for Ariel.

“If you’re reluctant, I’ll take it, but….”

“Ah, no, I’ll take it.”

“Understood.”

Ariel looked at Veronica and patted Asha’s back, who was mumbling.

The sight of her acting childish, which she hadn’t shown even when she ignorantly ran away from home, wasn’t bad at all.

Rather… it suited her current appearance quite well, so there was no sense of incongruity.

She also personally liked that Asha had acquired emerald-colored eyes like her own.

‘…Though I’ve never said it directly.’

It would be funny to say such a thing to a disciple who intends to return to her original body.

Ariel, having finished her thoughts, called out to Veronica, who was still standing blankly holding the box.

“What are you doing, not taking it?”

“Ah, um… that… are you planning to stay here?”

“It would be best for me to stay in case any side effects appear. Veronica-yang, you haven’t tried it yet, have you?”

“That….”

Veronica regretted not having tried it sooner.

As she sighed and opened the box, shame indeed washed over her.

But… what could she do?

She couldn’t stand by and watch someone else nurse Asha.

…Even if it was Asha’s Master and a respected Alchemist.

Veronica, having made up her mind, carefully opened the box and took out the pill.

Taking out the pill, which was meticulously packaged for no apparent reason.

Swallowing her saliva.

And gulped it down her throat.

Feeling Ariel’s gaze, who was looking at her with an interested expression, she put the box away.

Then she approached the bed and sat next to Ariel.

Then, perhaps because her body was hot, Asha’s slightly sticky body scent and Ariel’s fresh body scent mixed together and tickled Veronica’s nose.

‘…No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.’

Granting a sick person’s request wasn’t… strange.

But even so, nursing someone just because they want breast milk… isn’t that a bit strange?

But she had already swallowed the pill.

Ariel’s eyes, looking at Veronica, held determination.

Veronica, feeling a slight dizziness.

As she sat on the bed and took deep breaths, her chest area slowly began to tingle.

Soon, her already prominent chest began to swell little by little.

“Hoo… so fast?”

“…Ugh.”

What Veronica felt as the tingling subsided was a sense of weight.

‘…Being big isn’t always good, after all.’

A feeling as if her shoulders were already stiffening.

And… it hurt a little.

Because the underwear she was currently wearing was too small to contain her current breasts.

Veronica loosened her underwear and unbuttoned the front of her top.

Looking down, something pale white had already formed on the light pink tips.

‘…Why did I make something like this?’

Veronica’s face flushed crimson once again.

She felt as if smoke was rising from her head.

While Veronica was trying to compose herself.

“Sniff sniff….”

A sniffing sound was heard.

It was Asha, who was in Ariel’s arms.

As if remembering the sweet taste produced by the pill she had created, she sniffed and wriggled her body.

Ariel, who had been watching with strange eyes, lifted Asha and placed her near Veronica’s chest.

While Veronica, who was suddenly made to nurse, was flustered.

Asha’s small mouth bit Veronica’s breast.

A pale white liquid beaded up from the protruding nipple.

“N-now, wait, bite gently….”

“Suck suck….”

Asha, clinging to Veronica’s breast, began to suckle.

Because it was truly an odd position, Veronica asked Ariel to change Asha’s posture.

From a position that looked like she was pouncing, it now became a posture truly like nursing a child.

…Though she thought Asha was a bit too big to be called a child.

Veronica felt a strange sensation watching Asha cling to her and suckle.

Even if it wasn’t her… Asha would have clung to whoever took the Breast-enlargement Potion.

But now, she felt that Asha desired only her.

Of course… the feeling of something being sucked out of her breast wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

Veronica raised her hand and stroked Asha’s hair.

The “suck suck” sound of nursing echoed quietly in the room.

As Asha bit and chewed gently, a strange moan escaped Veronica’s lips.

‘…Wait a minute.’

Veronica, raising her head, saw Ariel looking at her with an awkward expression.

A slightly flustered look.

Veronica opened her mouth in a small voice.

“Um… it seems there’s no problem, so perhaps you could come back later, h-hngh…?”

“…Understood. Call me anytime if a problem arises.”

Ariel had also said she would watch, but.

Actually seeing someone suckling a breast right in front of her… felt strange.

Naturally, Asha… wasn’t a baby.

As Ariel turned her back with a sigh, a sweet scent wafted into her nostrils.

‘…Indeed, the scent is different from regular milk.’

With that thought, she opened the door and went out.

Now, only Veronica and Asha remained in the room.

As if that were a signal, Asha stuck out her tongue and licked Veronica’s nipple. It was a movement as if licking up the remaining milk.

But Asha was, strictly speaking, an adult.

It was quite different from a child’s lapping.

Startled by that tongue play, Veronica unconsciously pushed Asha’s face away.

Asha, pushed away, smacked her lips regretfully and took Veronica’s finger, which was on her face, into her mouth.

The warm tongue, combined with her feverish body temperature, conveyed softness and heat to Veronica’s finger.

Veronica’s finger, being licked here and there and becoming covered in saliva.

As Asha even sucked on it with a “suck, suck” sound, as if protesting why no milk was coming out, Veronica’s face turned crimson.

“…Stop sucking on what’s not coming out and come here.”

Veronica, pulling Asha’s light pink hair and putting her breast back into Asha’s mouth, sighed.

While Asha was suckling, with pale white liquid all over her mouth, Veronica pressed her cheek firmly and said.

“…Just you wait until you come to your senses.”

Veronica stroked Asha’s head, who was diligently nursing and rolling her tongue.

She suppressed a moan.

Along with the thought that she would get it back twofold.
