“Ugh…”
When I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling greeted me.
The intricate pattern carved into the ceiling was something I’d never seen in the orphanage or my dorm room.
“…What is this?”
My head was spinning.
Sometimes I get a little dizzy when I wake up in the morning, but this was different. It felt like someone was pounding my head with a hammer.
Each heartbeat sent waves of pain through my skull.
When I turned my head slightly toward the window, I could see morning sunlight creeping in from under the curtains.
“Ugh…”
As I slowly sat up, clutching my head, I realized my left arm felt heavy.
When I turned my head to look, I saw…
“……”
“……”
“?!?!?”
Startled, I turned my head so violently that I heard a cracking sound in my neck.
“What…What in the world…?!”
My heart was pounding in my throat. My head spun even more.
The scene I’d just witnessed was truly shocking.
“Was I seeing things?”
Thinking it might have been an illusion, I turned my head again.
Crack.
I twisted my neck once more.
Even if it was some kind of mirage, my heart couldn’t handle the sight.
However, I realized I needed to confirm whether it was real or not. Gathering my courage, I closed my eyes and slowly extended my hand to the left.
Squish~
“!!!!!”
It wasn’t a hallucination.
The sensation was unlike anything my imagination could have conjured – the size and depth that engulfed my fingers was indescribable.
“…Gulp.”
Though I knew I should remove my hand…
I couldn’t make myself pull away. The commands from my brain weren’t reaching my hand…
…Or rather, my brain had already started enjoying it.
“Whatever. I don’t care anymore.”
Squishing around…
No pudding in this world could be softer than these gentle hills.
Their size, too large to be contained in one hand, was impossibly perfect.
As I was completely absorbed in the sensation, I noticed something different about the feeling on my skin compared to my usual mornings.
Regretfully removing my hand, I lifted the blanket slightly and saw…
“Oh my…”
I was stark naked, without a single stitch of clothing.
“What happened last night-”
The moment I tried to remember, my head felt like it was splitting apart.
“Ugh…!”
Suffering from severe headache, I instinctively found the solution.
Squish~
Placing my hand on the pillowy mound again, I felt my mind calm and the headache dissipating.
Squishing around…
I enjoyed the pudding-like texture until the headache passed, then looked up to see Lily’s lips.
“Hmm… Whose turn was it today?”
Judging from the fact that I woke up first, it seemed it was my turn.
For some reason, looking at Lily’s lips made my head hurt even more.
I eventually gave up on kissing and decided to freshen up first.
Just as I was getting up to go to the bathroom,
“No.”
“Yikes!”
At some point, Lily had woken up and pulled me back. Falling back in a semi-upright position, I squeezed my eyes shut bracing for impact.
Squish~
Thanks to the softest cushion in the world supporting my head, I landed very stably.
When I turned my head, I saw Lily smiling lazily.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes…”
The sensation of my head touching that softness created an embarrassing situation. I quickly pulled the blanket up to cover my lower half.
“Eh, what happened last night?”
Lily’s face scrunched up.
“…What?”
Her voice carried a hint of suppressed anger.
Lily rarely showed such emotions toward me, so I started sweating.
‘W-What really happened?’
‘Duh! What do you think young men and women do in the same bed naked?!’
I mentally questioned and answered myself as I tried hard to remember last night’s events.
If we really did “that”, and I couldn’t remember, then I’d be a criminal of epic proportions.
No matter how hard I tried, my head only throbbed and I could only recall vague emotions from last night.
Whatever it was, it was quite… passionate…
As I was thinking, rolling my eyes around,
“Is your head okay?”
Lily placed her palm on my forehead.
The warmth of her hand made the headache go away.
“It hurt, but Lily’s touch made it better.”
“That’s good.”
I continued to observe Lily’s expressions while she smiled gently at my glances.
“Do you really not remember last night?”
“…Yes. My head hurts when I try.”
“It’s probably the hangover. Don’t force yourself, take it slow.”
Lily gave me a tight hug.
The warmth of our naked skins meeting was pleasant and heartwarming rather than awkward, creating a comforting sensation.
“Lily…”
I was deeply moved by her kindness.
“Go wash up. Let’s eat breakfast and take it slow.”
“Yes…”
Nodding, I tried to get up…
Hm…
“…”
“Lily?”
“Yes?”
“Well… I think you need to let go if I’m going to get up.”
“Ah…”
Lily was silent for a moment,
“Just a little longer… Let’s stay like this a bit more.”
“…”
“Isn’t it warm and nice?”
“…Yes.”
The embrace was too cozy to refuse.
—
After being released by Lily, I took a shower in the bathroom.
As I drank in the falling water,
“Ah alaranglangaraaeaah…”
I made strange sounds while counting the water droplets on the bathroom ceiling.
“One, two, three…”
Definitely, the shower had cleared my head.
Though I still felt nauseous, my headache was manageable.
While spacing out, I remembered Lily’s voice from earlier.
“…What?”
The emotion in her voice was clearly anger.
“She would be angry… I would be too.”
I sighed deeply at my own foolishness,
“Choke!”
Having been spaced out, I’d completely forgotten I was catching water in my mouth.
The water stream hit my throat, causing involuntary gagging.
“Ugh…”
My stomach felt churned up.
Churned up… churned up?
My head was dizzy and my stomach was upset.
“Ah, Lily said it was a hangover.”
It was exactly like after drinking too much alcohol.
Memory loss is one of the well-known symptoms.
“Drinking… When did I drink?”
The last thing I remembered was leaving the restaurant and eating Lily’s bento.
After that…
Zing-
“Ugh…”
I ultimately failed to recall anything and turned off the faucet.
Drying my hair with a towel, I looked down at my body.
“…Where did my clothes go?”
I noticed the dress Lily gave me was also nowhere to be found, or rather, I might have made it disappear.
I slightly opened the bathroom door and peeked out to call Lily.
“Um, Lily?”
“Yes? What is it?”
“I don’t have any clothes…”
“Oh! That’s right, that’s right.”
After waiting for a moment, Lily brought me some clothes.
“Thank you-”
Flick
Just as I reached for the clothes, Lily backed away beyond my reach.
“Lily?”
“…Do I really need to?”
“…Huh?”
In my confusion, when I looked at Lily, I caught sight of skin tones and immediately looked down.
“Shouldn’t I wear something at least?”
“I’ve already seen everything.”
“But, still…”
“Do you not want to see my body?”
“…”
I wanted to see.
I had seen a glimpse of Lily’s naked form when we first met – it was like a divine sculpture.
I had wanted to see her fully ever since.
“Didn’t you see enough yesterday?”
“But I was drunk yesterday…”
“Hmm…”
Lily’s dissatisfied nasal sound could be heard, but there was nothing I could do.
If I saw Lily’s naked form again now, I thought my heart might burst.
After a brief silence,
“Fine.”
Swish-swish-
The sound of skin against clothes could be heard, and a moment later,
“Alright.”
Looking up slowly, I saw Lily wearing her familiar dress.
I felt both relief and slight disappointment.
Lily handed me the clothes with a puffed-up face.
Hastily putting the clothes on and exiting the bathroom, I noticed a table with food appeared where there hadn’t been one before.
The food consisted of a red soup dish, rice, and kimchi or some kind of spicy vegetable side dish.
“Come and eat quickly. The rice is getting hard.”
Sitting next to Lily, I hesitantly asked about the unfamiliar food.
“Lily, what is this dish…”
“Oh, this is called hangover soup. It’s good for hangovers. Mix it with the rice and eat it.”
Scooping some rice onto my spoon and stirring it around, the rice grains quickly dissolved. Taking a bite of the soup and rice, it felt like the warm, comforting liquid was cleansing my churning stomach.
“How is it?”
“Mmm… It’s delicious. My stomach feels better too.”
“Eat more. After you finish, I’ll cast a spell to clear your head.”
There’s a spell for hangover relief?
It was a spell I’ve never heard of, but honestly, some magical spells must have been created for such purposes.
Breathing steam from the hot soup while eating rice, Lily suddenly spoke.
“Do you know how many hours you’ve slept?”
“Um, I’m not really sure when I fell asleep…”
“More than 12 hours.”
“Really?”
Possibly the longest sleep of my life.
“Really. We came here after eating lunch yesterday, and you fell asleep shortly after.”
What did we do during that short time before I slept?
While watching me eat, Lily suddenly waved her hand and conjured something from the air.
“Ah, what’s that…”
The long, white food in the bowl.
I clearly remember now…
“Isn’t that mochi rice cake?”
“That’s right.”
Lily picked up a piece of rice cake and bit the end.
“?”
Since there’s no way Lily would eat it herself, I was curious about her intention and watched silently…
“Chooop…chchhh…chhhooop!”
Lily started sucking the rice cake.
Occasionally she would part her lips to lick the rice cake with her tongue.
I felt a stirring in my lower body at her suggestive movements.
She was looking at me directly while doing this.
Like she was demonstrating how to properly suck the rice cake, Lily continued.
The image of her puffed cheeks came to mind.
Gulp… Gulp…
Her throat convulsed, and after apparently swallowing it all, Lily opened her eyes and with a satisfied smile whispered,
“Well eaten.”
The next memories that surfaced were making my face burn.
I loved you, Lily.
My face felt like it was burning.
“What I did last night!”
Covering my face with both hands, I heard Lily’s voice.
“Does it come back to you now?”
I nodded while covering my face.
“Hmph, that’s good.”
Thank goodness… Though…
“Are you alright?”
“…Rather, are you okay, Lily?”
“Hmm?”
“…Are you okay?”
Then Lily laughed and replied,
“Of course. Naturally.”
Regardless of being drunk, what state of mind was I in to do such things…
I couldn’t lift my face from embarrassment as Lily’s hand rested above mine that were covering my face.
“Why, are you embarrassed?”
“Yes…”
“Why?”
“I don’t know, it’s just…”
Then I heard a small chuckle.
“Hmph, you’re so cute. We didn’t cross the final line, right?”
“We crossed everything except the final line…”
At my words, Lily was silent.
A meaningful silence of agreement.
Then a wedge-like comment was thrown.
“So did you think it was terrible?”
“…The reason for my embarrassment wasn’t just the act itself…”
A bigger problem was the waves of pleasure coming back to me, causing a bulge in my lower body.
It was good.
Too good.
I wanted to do it again.
“…It was good.”
“Then isn’t that fine? We didn’t do anything inappropriate for our relationship, so there’s no need to be embarrassed.”
“I guess so, but…”
I sighed deeply and organized my thoughts.
‘Right, we’re already engaged. This kind of thing is perfectly… yeah, completely acceptable. And we didn’t cross the final line yet…’
…Though it probably wouldn’t take long to cross even that, but anyway.
“Hurry up and eat. We’ll be late.”
“…Late?”
Wait, now that I think about it, today is…?
I was startled and looked at Lily.
“Li, Lily! Today’s a weekday-uhm…”
The rice cake I spat out got caught in my mouth.
“After you finish eating, I’ll teleport us directly to your dorm. Eat first. You skipped dinner yesterday and slept all night, so if you don’t eat something, your stomach might get damaged?”
I chewed the rice cake while nodding.
With teleportation, we should be able to arrive on time.
Though…
“…This rice cake feels moist…”
Now that I think about it, this is…
“!”
Seeing my reaction, Lily smiled mischievously.
“Is it good?”
I blushed and bowed my head deeply.
—
After finishing the meal and preparing to leave, Lily gave me a significant look.
“Arthur.”
Lily sent me a meaningful glance.
“May I have some ‘meal’?”
I discretely covered “that area” when I caught Lily’s glance toward my lower half.
“That…In the morning-”
Chooop
The unexpected kiss left me dazed.
“Hmph, that’s enough for today. We ate ‘plenty’ last night.”
The sensual movement of her tongue as she licked her lips made me feel the stirring through my hand.
“Come on…”
Lily extended her lips.
Though my heart was pounding with memories from last night…
Chooop
It was too sweet to refuse.
Chuup…
This might have me visiting the restroom frequently for a while…
