Since I got permission, I picked Sylphy up. I headed to the bedroom. I'm not particularly thinking of doing anything perverted. I was just thinking of flirting together with her like this.
How do I say this? Is it a bit like regaining something I've lost? I don't really get it. Because of reading that diary, I've become sentimental.
While thinking such things, I heal myself with Sylphy.
Part 3
After Roxy came home, I started following her everywhere. I was sitting next to her on the sofa, and playing with the ends of her braids.
Enough that I was asked,
"What's the matter?"
"Umm, Roxy. Won't we talk a little?"
"Don't we always talk...? Or is there something in particular that you'd like to talk about?"
"No, like, in a more flirty way."
"Hahh... Well, it's fine with me, but doing 'that' today is no good, you know?"
"Right. I'm just clinging to you a little, but is that no good?"
"It's fine."
Roxy sat on my lap and dropped her head onto my shoulder. While embracing her shoulders, I meet her eyes up close. Though I said that, it's not like I had something to talk about.
"Umm, how was your day?"
"Nothing happened at all. It was just as usual... All that really happened was that the Principal's wig flew off due to the prank of some students, I guess."
"Ahh, I kind of wanted to see that."
"After that――――"
Roxy worked the whole day and was tired. Even so, she concerned herself with me. While we were giggling with idle chat, I somehow ended up giving her butt a feel, and was instantly slapped away. Even so, because I kept insisting on it, Roxy said [I guess it can't be helped] and permitted it.
After that, we entered the bathroom together and I cleaned her back and massaged her shoulders. I was almost like a child showing piety to his parents.
"You're a bit 'that' today, Rudi. Did something tough happen?"
"No, no. Nothing at all. I was just thinking [I'm really so happy that Roxy is alive] again."
"I see... Well, I really did think I was going to die in the Teleport Labyrinth after all. Feel free to confirm it as much as you'd like."
Said Roxy, sitting on my lap in the bath. Whilst massaging her slim shoulders, I asked,
"Roxy. Lately, have there been any weird changes to your body?"
I've avoided the Magic Stone Disease... or so I think, but just because I've taken care of that rat, doesn't mean that things are guaranteed to be okay. There's a chance that the investigation by the Future Me was wrong, after all.
"Ehh? I'm fine, you know. Why did you ask something like that?"
"Well, I was just thinking [It'd be really great if Roxy lived a long life] you see."
"If you think about the lifespans of races, I'll live longer than you after all. I should be the one asking you to live longer, Rudi."
"Of course."
Saying this, I gently smiled at Roxy. For now, things seem okay.
-----
Sylphy and Roxy.
The two of them are alive.
Things won't become like in that diary.
I'll definitely avoid it.
With this in mind, I've gained the strength to read that diary again.
I'm ready.
