NOVEL NEXT Chapter 112: Sunny Place And Shade
１１２．Sunny Place And Shade
――Orphen was dumbfounded, at a loss for words upon hearing that.
I was looking at his retreating figure without moving an inch from the bench I sat on before.
It seems the Dark Dragon was really itching to see Lyla suffering under my tyranny.
They might accept it if she just treated me kindly but, it seems they were completely flabbergasted to see her getting along really well with me… Too bad for them, she was far more important than they thought!
「Fufufu…」
Lyla was chuckling lightly as she rested her head on my shoulder.
Man, even I got startled hearing her chuckling on my side. I thought she would be scared when Orphen was coming out of nowhere but…
When I turned around to look at Lyla, I saw her golden eyes were looking back straight into my eyes. There was no trace of the old, timid Lyla left in the current Lyla.
『She is brimming with confidence.』Yup.
She was a far cry from when she just arrived at my place. She had already completely overcome her trauma…
「Woo~f…」
Suddenly Liliana's face peeked out from the tall grass. It seems she went into hiding since she was scared of Orphen.
Liliana then closed in briskly, jumping on the bench and lying down. But since it was a stone bench, it wasn't that comfortable.
「The troublemaker had left,」
I stood up slowly and lifted Liliana's body.
「I guess my mind reverted back to that of a child and wanted to try lying down too.」
And brought her to the center of the courtyard.
『Well you're 5 years old after all, at least on paper.』
I can't understand complicated matters.
I'm lying down on the lawn, stretching my limbs. Yeah, nothing beats the warm autumn sunshine. The cool sunlight was kind to every race.
Liliana who was lying down beside me then placed her head on my abdomen. Then fell asleep in no time. Forest elf loves sunlight after all.
Lyla is also sitting down by my side.
「Feel free to place your head on my lap, Dear♪」
Lyla was smiling bashfully as she patted her maid skirt.
「Oh… Thanks.」
Though I hesitated for a bit since that sounded improper, I ended up accepting her offer.
And placed my head on Lyla's lap… Her skin feels warm, and her thighs felt elastic but, it's still embarrassing yet, comfortable.
Such… A wonderful pillow.
Dammit, I really wanted to turn sideways… Had it not been for my horn…!
I could transform into a human but, I couldn't afford to take the risk of making myself weaker in this kind of place…!
… Shall I ask for her lap pillow again once we return to the room?
「What do you think?」
「It's the best.」
Lyla was laughing bashfully when I gave such a reply. Her hands then brushed gently on my hair.
「I'll pat you this time.」
Ooh, such a refreshing feeling… I was the one who usually gave her a head pat after all.
Her long and slim fingers gently brushed my scalp. So this is how it feels to be patted by others… I might get addicted to this…
The sun was warm yet not too dazzling. Comfortable lap, head massage…
It felt like I'm in paradise…
「Fufufu…」
Lyla was smiling with an extremely affectionate look on her face.
「…」
Looking at such a pure smile, I suddenly felt a pang of guilt in my chest.
「Sorry for being a bit forceful a while ago.」
「Forceful… About what?」
Lyla stopped massaging my scalp, asking while cocking her head.
「Uhm… About lifting your chin.」
And about forcefully kissing her.
Blatant show of affection was the best 『Ward』 toward the Dark Dragons.
No matter how much they wanted Lyla to suffer, they shouldn't be stupid enough to mess around with my pet.
To begin with, the reason they presented Lyla to me was to appease my non-existence wrath. It would be akin to putting the cart before the horse if they harass Lyla because they didn't like how kind the treatment I gave her.
To begin with, since the Demon Race was a barbarian, there was no telling what would happen if they meddled in our love affair. Thus, those guys wouldn't dare to act recklessly…
「Aah… That huh.」
Lyla pouted lightly upon realizing what I mean by 『Forceful』.
「How awful. I was really startled back then.」
「… Sorry.」
I might have done that to protect Lyla but still, it didn't change the fact that I did that without her consent. Anyone would feel disgusted if they were treated like that――
「――That's why.」
Lyla's hands were suddenly caressing my cheeks.
Lyla brought her face that was smiling delightfully toward mine――
Then―― I felt a soft touch on my forehead.
「… Now we're even.」
Said Lyla as she let go of my head, failing to act neatly since she couldn't hide the bashful grin on her face.
「…」
I felt my body warming up as if some sort of magic was used when she kissed my forehead… No, it is just the warmth of her laps!
W-What should I do now!?
ANTE! TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THIS KIND OF SITUATION!
『LIKE HELL I KNO――W!!』
Burp… STOP RAMPAGING IN MY SOUL VESSE――L!
――Crack
Suddenly, the sound of something cracking resounded.
「…？」
Lyla raised her face, and suddenly stiffened on the spot.
「What's the matter?」
Thus I raised my upper body a bit and looked at the direction of Lyla's ga――
「… Ah」
My line of sight met with the gaze from marble-like eyes.
「Ji~l-Ku~n♪」
She was some distance away from us who was basking under the sun.
The owner of the artificial-like smile in the shade of the corridor that could be seen from here was――
「Ahahaha. I came back earlier♪」
――The lich whose fingers sunk into the stone pillar, Enma.
