Chapter 390: No Licking!
The sensation came fast and left just as quickly.
Soon, Edelweiss came to a stop.
Luke wasn't in a hurry to withdraw his hand... silently feeling...
Luke intended to wait for Edelweiss to recover her strength and come to her senses; he was already prepared to be pummeled.
However, though he waited and waited, Edelweiss showed no sign of raising her head. Instead, she buried her face even deeper into Luke's chest.
Edelweiss felt she could no longer face anyone. Feeling the... on her pants, she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
What made her feel the most ashamed was that, deep down, she actually found it quite thrilling...
'Ugh... have I... have I become that kind of strange woman?'
Her violently throbbing sense of shame made it impossible for her heart to settle for a long time.
And so, the two of them just embraced quietly like that, leaning against the wall to rest for a while.
He looked at his hand, which was "imprisoned" against Edelweiss's chest, and fell into deep thought.
…
After a round of slight "messing around," Luke and Edelweiss, who had calmed down, needed to solve the most important problem at the moment.
Namely… changing clothes.
After all, they could not let Edelweiss walk through the street in her current state.
That would not be shame play. It would be a punishment game.
So before undoing the Seisenjutsu, they first needed to tidy up her outfit.
"It's all your fault. What do we do now…"
Edelweiss looked at Luke resentfully.
The two of them had not planned to go shopping.
They had simply intended to stroll around the street and eat and drink a little, so Edelweiss naturally could not have brought spare clothes with her.
Besides, who would specifically bring a spare outfit just to do this kind of thing?
Honestly.
The more Edelweiss thought about it, the angrier she became, but there was nothing she could really do to Luke.
She could not bear to hit him, and she also did not want to use mana.
So she could only stare at him like this, trying to make Luke feel guilty with her gaze.
"All right, don't be angry. You know I have spatial storage. I'm used to carrying spare clothes."
Hearing that there were clothes to change into, Edelweiss, who felt extremely uncomfortable, visibly relaxed.
However, she did not plan to simply let the topic go.
She wanted Luke to know that she had a small temper now.
"I'm not angry!"
Looking at Edelweiss turning her head aside, wearing a cute expression that practically said, "I'm upset and need to be coaxed," Luke nearly laughed out loud.
It was truly hard to imagine that Twin-Wings Edelweiss would actually make this kind of almost spoiled gesture.
However, this also showed that all this time, there were probably very few people who had truly understood her.
Looking at such a cute Edelweiss, Luke could not help wanting to tease her.
So he continued along with Edelweiss's words.
"So you're not angry. That's great. I was worried you'd be unhappy."
"Hm? Not angry?"
"Then that means you don't object to this kind of thing, right?"
"Oh~ I couldn't tell. So you're actually this type…"
"Hmph, now I understand. Since you don't object, let's continue!"
"Eh?! Y-Y-Y-You wait a second! S-Stop!"
"Wait… mm… I said don't… uu… f-fine! I get it! I'm not angry… no, I really am angry, all right?!"
Luke's complete refusal to follow the usual pattern scared Edelweiss badly.
She was truly afraid that Luke would do it again.
Edelweiss actually knew a little about her sensitive constitution, but it had always been an advantage.
Whether comprehending realms or sensing the environment, this constitution had improved both.
It even helped when she made desserts.
But she truly had not expected that this constitution she had always been so proud of would create such a large "negative effect" in this kind of matter.
Mm… to Edelweiss, it was indeed a negative effect.
But to Luke, it was actually rather fun.
"All right, I won't tease you anymore. I apologize and request the great Twin-Wings-sama to forgive my offense."
"Uu… you only know how to bully me."
"Get up. Change your clothes, and we'll continue walking around."
Luke lightly patted Edelweiss, signaling her to come out of his arms.
Edelweiss obediently stood up.
Since it had only been once, it was not enough to make her legs go weak.
However, when she stood up and prepared to change clothes, she once again fell into hesitation.
Her hand rested at her waist, but after hesitating for a long time, she still could not make up her mind.
In the end, Edelweiss, who truly felt too embarrassed, could only ask her lover for help.
"D-Do I really have to change here…"
"Don't worry. No one will see."
"B-But changing clothes on the street… it feels so shameful. Uu… W-Why do I have to do this?"
"It's fine. We're in a corner."
"A corner is still on the street!"
"Then are you planning to walk back to the inn like this?"
"…I don't want that either."
"Then accept your fate and obediently change. Your clothes too. I left marks on them earlier. Don't worry, I won't record you."
"You were actually planning to r-r-record it?!"
"I said I won't. Come on, hurry up."
"Uu… Th-Then come closer and help block me. I-I'm still a little shy. Also, no recording!"
Luke obediently walked over and used his body to block Edelweiss inside the corner.
Like this, forget having Seisenjutsu. Even if Seisenjutsu failed, it would still be difficult for passing pedestrians nearby to see Edelweiss's movements.
However, doing this also had one drawback.
Luke looked at Edelweiss in front of him, her face flushed with shyness, and watched her awkwardly start changing.
Suddenly, he felt his throat go a little dry.
