Because she realized that even in human form, she could still cling to Kiana.
But like this, she could do more intimate things with Kiana, snuggling up close, leaving everyone else with nothing but envy.
After all, they couldn't do something like this.
And being the only one who could? That was exactly what Jyahnar loved most.
It was like her own unique, innate advantage.
If it worked, of course she'd use it as much as possible.
As a ray, she was like a pet.
Not unpleasantly sticky, but rather with a texture like warm jade.
According to Kiana, she really did quite like it.
So sometimes, Jyahnar would sprawl on top of Kiana's head; other times, on her shoulder.
Sometimes, she'd rest on her lower belly, soaking in her warmth; other times, on her chest, feeling her heartbeat.
Their relationship was just that good!
Exactly.
Jyahnar loved having things all to herself.
So, even if Elysia really turned into a tiny fairy Elysia, Jyahnar wouldn't back down.
She opened her eyes; her true form wasn't particularly fierce—in fact, it had a kind of moe, adorable feeling.
It was like the difference between the original design of "Spider Girl" and one with a cute filter applied.
Her broad body could cling snugly to Kiana, almost as if stuck on, following Kiana wherever she went.
Moreover, even though it drew attention, somehow, it still felt surprisingly harmonious.
Let's be blunt about it!
Like this, Jyahnar was also a massive third wheel.
Whenever other girls wanted to do something with Kiana, to get close and snuggle, she was right there in the way.
The other girls, though good-natured and fairly gentle.
Surely, they must feel a little resentful, right?
Especially Elysia.
Just earlier, she'd managed to get a tiny taste of Kiana.
But since then, she hadn't made any progress at all.
Eden could stay calm and composed, but she couldn't.
She'd initially thought about, as a Teacher of Jyahnar, putting her in her place and assigning her loads and loads of homework, so she'd have a chance to sneak some affection.
But then it occurred to her.
Actually, Eden seems pretty good too!
If she pawned Jyahnar off on Eden, wouldn't that give her an opportunity as well?
"Sounds good to me!" Elysia agreed with a smile.
She said, "Eden is beautiful, has a great personality, is incredibly talented, and carries herself with such grace. She'd definitely be a great teacher."
"True," Kiana nodded, fully agreeing.
However, Jyahnar keenly sensed Elysia's little scheme.
She cried out, as if guarding against a thief, "I don't want to! Unless Kiana is the one teaching me, I don't want anyone else!"
Think she's dumb?
No, she's not dumb at all.
She didn't really care about whether she needed extra lessons.
But as long as the person teaching her was her most beloved Kiana, then it was fine.
That way, the two of them could blissfully spend time alone together.
And it'd be perfectly justified, with no worries about being disturbed.
How awesome is that!
Kiana lifted Jyahnar off her head and placed her on her own lap.
Jyahnar went soft and pliant, like a fluffy little piece of cloth.
She didn't resist at all.
Letting Kiana handle her however she liked.
Seeing this, Elysia thought for a moment and said to Kiana, "Kiana, hand Jyahnar over to me for a bit, let me have a little talk with her... alright?"
Jyahnar instantly went on high alert.
Just as she could see through Elysia's little calculations.
Elysia understood her just as well.
Kiana looked surprised for a second, then placed Jyahnar into Elysia's hands.
It felt a bit like serving up a dish.
A rather large platter, but not excessively so.
Elysia smiled, not a single clue showing on her face.
Only after turning away, to an angle where Kiana couldn't see, did she bring Jyahnar up in front of her, looking straight at her.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jyahnar felt a bit panicked.
"My dear Miss Jyahnar..."
Elysia said in a sickly sweet, airy voice, "You wouldn't want Kiana to find out that you sleep on her face every night, now would you?"
"You!" Jyahnar bristled.
"Kiana told me, you know~ She said lately when she sleeps, it feels like she's being haunted by sleep paralysis, waking up all sore and achy..."
Elysia glanced at Jyahnar, grinning sideways.
Jyahnar's eyes widened; she wanted to say something, but held back, took a deep breath, and though she'd stiffened for a moment, she went soft again. She snorted, as if feigning ignorance.
"So what do you want?"
"I think... we really don't need to be so hostile toward each other."
Elysia didn't have any intention of copying Jyahnar by turning into a little pet.
Even though being a little pet could also score plenty of advantages, she felt it didn't suit her.
But honestly, none of that really mattered.
She genuinely liked Jyahnar.
It was a bit of a dilemma.
Clearly, Jyahnar was a rival, giving her such a sense of crisis, always feeling a little bothered by it.
But she loved girls! She really loved them... the prettier and cuter they were, the more she liked them.
Therefore, in her eyes, there were no true antagonists.
After spending time with Jyahnar during this period, she deeply understood that she did like Jyahnar.
Whether it was Kiana, or Jyahnar, or Eden, or any of the others...
She really, truly, wanted them all!
Looked at from another angle, if Jyahnar was someone she loved, and Kiana was too, then even if Jyahnar loved Kiana, wasn't it just her wife loving her wife? What's the big deal!
Come on, Ellie!
You're a mature girl now.
No need to hold a grudge against this kid.
Therefore, Elysia wanted to improve her relationship with Jyahnar a bit more.
A moment like this was actually a good opportunity.
It wasn't just a whim.
She had genuinely thought it through properly.
Especially since Kiana's attitude was clear: she really hoped the girls she loved, the girls around her, could get along peacefully, without excessive bickering or fighting.
An occasional rivalry scene was fine, a little jealousy now and then was no problem!
But no one would want their wife to be constantly, incessantly arguing and making a fuss, constantly noisy.
Elysia felt that, if she could, perhaps... she should take some responsibility?
Act like the glue.
Help things along.
Assist Kiana in properly maintaining her... little harem.
Whether they were already part of it now, or still on the sidelines.
As long as they were girls Kiana liked... maybe, she ought to look after them a little.
What was her stance in all this? Let's not dwell on that.
If she could be a bit more magnanimous, given Kiana's personality, she definitely wouldn't lose out in the end. Consider it a strategic retreat.
Classic Elysia, with her cute little schemes.
After all, she'd noticed it too.
Before, when her own advances were so intense.
Somehow, she'd gotten less than Eden.
"Think about it carefully... really think."
Elysia looked at Jyahnar.
"In the future, there will be all sorts of girls around Kiana, more and more of them..."
"You, me... we're just one among many."
"Even if we were destined to be together from the start."
"But! So what?"
She said.
"Other girls might have all kinds of reasons—like blood ties, or being friends from the beginning, or other things, all sorts of reasons..."
"None of us are in this alone."
