Okhema of the Eternal Dawn never had the concept of dawn, but the streets that gradually became noisy and filled with people nonetheless presented the bustling feel generated in the early morning.
In a certain room, four beautiful girls who could make people feel like they had experienced ten thousand years at a single glance were sleeping on a large bed.
A brown-haired girl, although she also slept on the same bed and covered with the same blanket, did not sleep with the other three beautiful girls, keeping a distance from them.
On the other side, a purple-haired girl and a pink-haired girl were snuggling on the left and right of a white-haired girl.
The four of them slept on the same bed. Although it was 1+3, it was still like an absolutely beautiful landscape painting, making people feel waves of comfort and warmth.
"Ugh..."
The white-haired girl, snuggled with the purple-haired and pink-haired girls, twitched her eyebrows and then slowly opened her eyes.
"Hmm..."
Opening her eyes and feeling the warmth radiating from her left and right, Lumina looked around.
Castorice was on her left, her arms wrapped around Lumina's arm, her head resting by Lumina's shoulder, her lips curved into a smile of happiness, joy, and sweetness.
Hyacine on the right was doing the same, her arms wrapped around Lumina's arm, resting against Lumina's shoulder, her face displaying a blissful and sweet smile.
They slept very comfortably, probably having had a good dream.
Seeing them so happy, a smile couldn't help but appear on Lumina's face.
But soon, this smile was withdrawn, replaced by a look of confusion.
Lumina looked to her left, at the person not far to the left of Castorice.
The brown-haired beautiful girl was undoubtedly Herta.
Didn't she say she would sleep on the sofa?
Recalling what Herta had said yesterday, Lumina glanced at her with interest.
Saying all that, didn't she end up obediently climbing into bed in the end?
Lumina snorted inwardly.
Last night, after being harshly rejected by Herta, Lumina didn't mention that kind of pajama again. After all, if she wouldn't wear them anyway, there was no need to waste breath.
She needed to save her energy and use it on Castorice and Hyacine instead.
Um... of course, this meant normal speech, just talking normally with them, with no other ulterior motives.
After Castorice and Hyacine finished bathing, Lumina etched their figures from that moment into her heart forever, then she began "happy time" with them.
After playing happily for a while, they all got tired.
Under these circumstances, Lumina naturally showed her "goodwill," letting Castorice and Hyacine both sleep with her in the same bed.
Just like that, the three of them slept in the same bed, covered by the same blanket, and thus Lumina started living a happy life with one on her left and one on her right (strikethrough).
As for Herta, as if she had timed it perfectly, she only finished bathing and stepped out of the bathroom after "happy time" had ended.
Her attire was extremely conservative, with only her neck exposed, which left Lumina feeling quite disappointed.
If only Herta had appeared before her wearing the same style of pajamas as Castorice and Hyacine.
Though Lumina felt it was a pity, she didn't let it bother her, patting the bed and gesturing for Herta to hurry over.
But Herta shot Lumina a look filled with utter distaste and disdain, leaving behind the words, "Sleep however you all want, just don't make too much noise. I'll sleep on the couch."
Hearing this sentence, Lumina couldn't help but feel that something was a bit off, like a husband bringing home several beautiful young women right in front of his wife, only for the wife to magnanimously state that she didn't mind at all...
Lumina suddenly had this inexplicable sense of déjà vu, but she quickly shook it off.
After all, she and Herta weren't in a husband-and-wife relationship, so it had nothing to do with this sense of déjà vu.
And even if Herta were her wife, so what? Her "happy time" with Castorice and Hyacine was all just honest-to-goodness happy time, and she hadn't done anything to cross the line, so what could possibly be wrong?
Besides, Lumina had invited Herta to join in, but she had refused.
She also insisted on sleeping on the couch herself.
And as a result...
Didn't she end up coming to my bed anyway?
Lumina gently moved her body away from Castorice and Hyacine, slowly getting up.
The quilt covering them was gradually pulled away by this movement of Lumina's.
Two perfect bodies, each clad only in thin pajamas, came into view.
The spring scenery of Castorice's and Hyacine's bodies was fully visible, all taken in by Lumina's eyes.
Very perfect, very beautiful. Although she had already seen them before going to sleep yesterday, now, Lumina still spoke words of praise from the bottom of her heart.
To tell the truth, looking at these two perfect and fair bodies, even Lumina had a slight desire in her heart to fiercely offend these perfect and fair bodies.
Um... it was probably because she was influenced by Little Herta.
There is a saying that describes it well: one who is close to red becomes red, and one who is close to black becomes black.
Herta had improper thoughts about Lumina's body, and after spending so much time with her, it's normal to be infected by it.
Lumina thought to herself, completely shifting the blame onto Herta.
"From now on... maybe I shouldn't do this again." Taking another look at Castorice and Hyacine's flawless bodies, Lumina's face couldn't help but flush as a... strange impulse surged within her.
To tell the truth, when she first started playing with Castorice and Hyacine yesterday, Lumina had planned to play for a long, long time, until the end of time.
But as they played, seeing what they were wearing, Lumina's... well, a certain emotion kept building up inside her.
Once this emotion reached a certain value, a critical threshold, it would instantly erupt.
Lumina didn't know what this emotional value represented, but she knew that if it ever overflowed, she would definitely "devour" Castorice and Hyacine.
This wasn't "devouring" in a physical sense, but in a physiological one.
Fortunately, just as she was about to reach the critical point, Herta "just happened" to finish her shower and come out, interrupting Lumina's "progress bar."
If Herta hadn't interrupted her back then, Lumina would have probably let the emotions in her heart erupt, pinning Castorice and Hyacine beneath her and "devouring" them bite by bite...
"It's all Little Herta's fault."
Lumina quickly blushed and pulled up the blanket that had been lifted by her own movements, covering the completely exposed bodies of Castorice and Hyacine.
At the same time, she cursed Herta once again.
As the culprit, Herta had to pay the price for this!
Lumina resolved in her heart to give this hateful Little Herta a good lesson at some point in the future.
To pass this kind of thing on to me, how am I supposed to happily play with beautiful girls from now on?
With a cold snort, she silently noted Herta's name in her mental notebook.
Then, without disturbing Castorice and Hyacine, she slowly got out of bed.
Glancing at Herta, who was sleeping on the other side and keeping a distance from herself, Castorice, and Hyacine, Lumina walked to the edge of the bed closer to her.
Seeing her lying on her side on the pillow, covered by the blanket, her cherry-like little mouth tightly shut, an absurd idea actually sprouted in Lumina's heart.
She wanted to lean in and use her own lips to feel the fragrance of Herta's cherry-like little mouth...
Realizing this, Lumina hurriedly shook her head.
Bending down, she looked at Herta's sleeping face and extended a finger to poke her little cheek.
Her finger pressed into Herta's cheek, creating a small dimple on her fair skin.
"So beautiful."
Madam Herta's beauty was beyond question.
Looking at Herta's sleeping face, even Lumina, who dealt with all types of beautiful girls every day, couldn't help but let out a compliment from the bottom of her heart.
Well... though Lumina offered such heartfelt compliments to every beautiful girl.
All beautiful girls, no matter what type, would leave Lumina feeling amazed and then make her let out a compliment.
Putting that aside, Herta was indeed beautiful.
As Lumina thought this, her little finger kept poking and prodding Herta's cheek.
"..."
"Heh..."
As if she had sensed something, Lumina suddenly stopped the poking and prodding.
No longer lost in thought, her lips curved into a smile, and her single finger changed into her palm.
The poking and prodding turned into a stroking motion, continuously caressing Herta's fair and smooth little face, feeling the softness and warmth of Herta's cheek.
Looking across the entire Cosmos, no one could ever imagine a scene where Madam Herta lies in bed and lets someone continuously stroke her cheek without offering any resistance.
Yes, no resistance at all.
Herta had already woken up, having done so the moment Lumina slowly rose from the bed.
With Herta's strength, even in her sleep, she would notice the slightest disturbance.
And now, her utterly reckless and unreasonable behavior was naturally seen by her.
Yet, she offered no resistance.
That's perfect. Since she isn't offering any resistance, don't blame me for being impolite.
A mischievous smile flashed in Lumina's jade green eyes.
She immediately used both hands, pressing them onto Herta's little face and repeatedly kneading it over and over again...
"Phew... She's really quite tolerant."
After some time had passed.
Looking at Herta's little face, which had changed from being fair with a hint of flush to flushed with a hint of fairness, Lumina frowned slightly in surprise that she still showed no sign of waking up or offering any resistance.
Based on what Lumina knew of Herta, she should have opened her eyes, gotten up, and fought back by now.
She never expected Herta to be so tolerant.
So...
Lumina withdrew her small hands from kneading Herta's face, her gaze gradually moving from Herta's face to her body covered by the blanket.
"In that case, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Time to eat."
After muttering quietly, Lumina directly reached her hands under the blanket...
"..."
Lumina's hands had just slipped under the blanket, not yet touching Herta's body.
But even so, Lumina could clearly see Herta tremble in that very instant.
"Let's... touch Herta's little chest first. Last time, Hyacine interrupted, so I couldn't enjoy it to my heart's content..."
Lumina muttered again, and Herta's body trembled slightly once more at this moment.
But this wasn't a tremble of fear, it was... it was a tremble of excitement.
Although Castorice and Hyacine were still present nearby, it didn't matter. As long as... as long as that kind of thing could be completed, as long as she could "eat" Lumina, then... then it all didn't matter.
Herta kept her eyes tightly shut, waiting for Lumina's hands to arrive.
Even to give Lumina a better experience, Herta couldn't help but arch her chest, making it easier for Lumina's small hands...
"..."
"..."
"Hm?"
But after waiting for a while, that... that mesmerizing feeling from the forest did not appear.
"Heh heh..."
Although that feeling didn't appear, Lumina's laughter did.
Hearing Lumina's laughter, Herta immediately understood.
This little Lumina was playing her again...
After all, Lumina was already about to get with Castorice and Hyacine last night...
Herta gritted her teeth, feeling bitter in her heart.
When entering the bathroom to bathe yesterday, Herta watched the interactions between Lumina, Castorice, and Hyacine while bathing.
Seeing Lumina initially absorbed in the bodies of the two, Herta feltvery bitter.
Later, when they started "playing" and entered "happy time," Herta, who was bathing, almost crushed her silver teeth.
Fortunately, Herta knew Lumina wouldn't do anything to them, otherwise she would have rushed out long ago.
But...
As she watched, Herta felt more and more wrong.
In Lumina's gaze at Castorice and Hyacine, a trace of... the emotion Herta was familiar with gradually appeared.
This emotion, wasn't it the same one Herta always used to look at Lumina with?
After realizing this, Herta instantly grew anxious.
She stopped bathing on the spot, hastily wiped her body, threw on her clothes, and rushed out to stop their behavior.
If she had been a moment later and they had actually succeeded, Herta would have cried.
After successfully stopping them and ensuring nothing happened, Herta breathed a sigh of relief.
Though it was a close call, Herta had finally understood something.
Lumina could indeed be tempted.
If she wore the same style of pajamas as Castorice and Hyacine, she might actually be able to carry out the plan in her heart...
Herta thought to herself, her mind already beginning to scheme new little plans.
A night raid, a night raid, she had to pull off a night raid!
The reason the night raid failed last night was mainly because Lumina had Castorice in her left hand and Hyacine in her right, making it truly difficult to complete a night raid.
When she was alone with Lumina... Herta would definitely take her down in one fell swoop!
"Heh heh."
As Herta thought this, the determined expression on her face made Lumina chuckle.
Though she didn't know what Herta was thinking, it didn't matter.
With absolute strength, whatever Herta's schemes were, they would ultimately only benefit her.
"Hmph~"
With a soft hum, Lumina rose and walked toward the dressing room.
Lumina hadn't bathed yesterday. Although she was still fragrant and soft without washing, did Lumina have a germ phobia... or not?
Regardless, Lumina simply had to bathe.
Whether she had a germ phobia or not.
