It really has come to the time to sleep, and without any other options, I found myself lying down on the same bed as Shaara.
Even with two shorter figures lying down, there was an incredible amount of space left on the bed.
Because of our small builds, we fit in like regular items.
We needed to be touching anyway, so pulling away would only make us uncomfortable, and I had no intention of showing any signs of that.
“Ugh… I really didn’t think it would turn out like this…”
“You asked for it, didn’t you?”
It was Shaara, lying next to me, who seemed to be more nervous than I was.
She had asked so confidently, but now she trembled to the point of causing anxiety.
It was like watching someone struck by a fever.
She might not have turned as pale as back then, though.
“Are you still scared?”
I asked with some concern.
Due to the training I had put her through, she might be afraid of being alone in the dark with just me.
“N-No, that’s not it! It’s just… something I’ve only imagined…”
Shaara vehemently denied it.
“We’re going to have to keep doing this for a while, but you can’t keep acting like this every time.”
“Ugh… huh?”
I wrapped my arms around the trembling little body of Shaara next to me.
As I did, I felt her body jerk as if an electric shock had run through her.
Listening carefully
