NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63
======[ Friede, Amy ]======
Proper ethics and sense of chastity. Respect for elders.
No matter how close you are, there are lines that must be respected, and limits to jokes allowed by social norms.
After finishing a sermon that lasted a full hour, Hilde donned her helmet and armor, declaring she would fetch breakfast before leaving the room.
Leaving behind the two girls, Friede and Amy, who had flipped her outfit upside down with their reckless pranks.
Just after the clank of her footsteps echoed down the corridor and faded away.
“…See? I told you so, right?”
Friede turned to Amy, flashing a triumphant smile. Now do you understand what might have happened if you hadn’t followed my advice?
“Yeah… I was a bit reckless this time.”
Amy admitted with a calm demeanor.
To the extent of fainting at the word “responsibility,” no less.
It was a risky joke made to gauge Hilde’s reaction, but if they had really messed up, cleaning up after would have been impossible.
“I didn’t think she’d faint. That could have been a serious problem.”
Amy let out a sigh mixed with relief.
Lying on the bed as if indicating to eat deliciously, she thought she’d just have to pick and taste her like a ripe fruit…
‘…But based on her reaction, she wasn’t ripe at all. If I had eaten her, I’d be in big trouble.’
The outward appearance of ripeness was just that; the reality was not much different from unripe fruit.
‘Then, it’s no wonder she’s so uptight to spew out old sermons for thirty minutes straight.’
It was hard to believe at first glance, but considering her unyielding sense of chastity, she might surprisingly have no experience at her age.
Thinking it was surprising, Amy felt her interest in Hilde grow stronger.
“Y-You should be grateful. You stopped me from doing something rash.”
As Amy said this, Friede gave her a look mixed with pity and a hint of disdain, reminiscing about last night’s events.
◆◆
The two girls explained that they ended up sleeping with Hilde because they tried to stop her from undressing while drunk.
Yet, within their explanation was a slight lie they couldn’t tell Hilde.
While it was true that nothing happened, the reason was that Amy and Friede were also too drunk to handle the situation.
Each time they emptied their glasses, they’d offer drinks to Hilde, meaning they consumed only about half of what Hilde had.
It was true that their judgment was slightly clouded by drunkenness, but they certainly weren’t in a state where they couldn’t control themselves.
So what exactly had happened last night?
The truth was….
◆◆
Hours before the morning wake-up.
Just as the innkeeper, smiling from the increasing sales, began to wonder if it was time to stop drinking.
Gulp, gulp, gulp… Wheee!
After drinking and drinking, Hilde ultimately lost all composure and started to blow into a bottle with a bright red face.
It was clear she was completely wasted and unable to think straight.
She didn’t even notice the liquid spilling over her lips and dripping down her chin, soaking her chest.
“Hmm… I didn’t expect to get this drunk. Maybe I overdid it…?”
“W-Well, it seems so….”
Watching her behavior, Amy and Friede seriously began to ponder if they should intervene soon.
They had intended to create a lively atmosphere by encouraging Hilde to drink, but what they wanted to see was a cute, tipsy Hilde, not one who would end up spilling her stomach contents.
“Whoa… Hic I’m so drunk… Slurp.”
However, seeing Hilde lick the empty bottle’s opening, it became clear that if they continued to feed her, a disaster would likely occur.
“…I think we should wrap this up soon.”
“Y-Yeah, I guess so…?”
Thus, the two decided to end the drinking party, which initially seemed like it would last all night.
“H-Hilde, let’s go upstairs. I think you’ve had enough to drink.”
“Yeah, Hilde. Today is not the only day, right? If you’re disappointed, we can have another drink next time.”
One had already decided it was time to move to the next step after this.
“Let’s go up and get some rest. You’ve worked hard. You need to rest a bit.”
The other felt satisfied after seeing Hilde’s cute side enough.
“Eh-eh? N-No…?”
However, Hilde, hearing their pleas, pouted with half-lidded eyes as if she were disappointed.
“Ugh… It’s so hot…”
Then she gulped down another bottle, complaining about the heat while slightly opening her collar, fanning herself.
“H-Hilde?”
“It’s summer…? Why is it so hot…?”
As if mere fanning wasn’t enough, she started lifting her armor, ready to take it off entirely, exposing her lower belly.
“Wait, hold on! Stop! Stop, Hilde!”
Friede, startled, urgently grabbed her hand.
“Ugh…? Don’t stop… It’s hot!”
“Even if it’s hot, just hold on for a moment!”
With all her strength, Friede pushed down Hilde’s arm, casting desperate glances at Amy.
‘Quickly, let’s get her out of here!’
They had no time to waste.
If they left her like this, she might strip completely in front of everyone.
If she was going to undress, she should at least do it in her room.
“Okay, Hilde. Let’s just go to the room now, alright? Let’s get up.”
Amy did not want Hilde to remove her clothing here either, so she nodded quickly, grabbing Hilde’s shoulder to help her up.
“Hah…”
Hilde let out a weird sound as her body swayed unsteadily.
No, rather than “standing up,” it was more accurate to say she was being lifted. She couldn’t even hold herself up anymore.
“Innkeeper, we’re all settled up, right? We’ll be heading up now!”
“Uh? O-Oh. Sure.”
The innkeeper, who’d been quietly watching, nodded off-balance, thinking that this might be an interesting sight.
If his daughter were drinking like this, he would have smashed her legs in frustration.
◆◆
“Hah…”
After placing Hilde on the bed, Amy wiped the sweat beading on her forehead and sighed.
It was no easy task to carry Hilde, who could barely stand.
With one person’s weight and the burden of armor, it was a daunting task.
Although Friede helped share the weight, for Amy, who was weak in strength as a magician, even that burden was considerable.
‘Well, at least… the preparations are done.’
Amy stuck out her red tongue to lick her upper lip and gazed down at the well-prepared feast.
“Hah… It’s so hot…”
The moment her hands were free, the blonde healer started to loosen her armor and toss it aside.
Underneath the armor, she wore a pure white top, and soon enough, her boots and pants followed, leaving her clad only in soaking wet underwear.
Her top, drenched in liquor, clung to her skin to the point of transparency, leaving her looking like she wasn’t wearing anything at all.
Despite lying down, her curves stood proudly, her heated skin glowed with a flush.
“Hah…”
A hot sigh escaped her partially parted lips, steam mixing with the air.
It was an incredibly captivating scene. Friede gazed at it with wide eyes, unable to look away, vowing to never forget the sight before her.
And.
While Friede trembled in delight, frozen in place.
“It’s so… hot…”
“Yeah, yeah. Isn’t it hot?”
Amy shrugged off her cumbersome cloak and robe, now only wearing thin underwear, and crawled onto the bed where Hilde lay.
Like a snake hunting its prey, smooth and natural.
“A-Amy…?”
“Okay, let’s take it all off. Then it’ll be cooler. And when it’s cooler, you’ll feel much better.”
With half-lidded eyes, Hilde looked up at Amy, who smiled brightly and placed her fingers on Hilde’s top.
“Ugh…”
With a delicate touch, Amy’s fingers swiftly unbuttoned the top like magic.
What was hidden beneath it, along with her underwear.
Swish.
The damp fabric of the white top flared wide, and the underwear Amy tossed aside hit the ground with a splash.
“Hah…”
Amy swallowed with anticipation, exhaling a breath full of excitement.
She gazed down at the large flesh hidden by cloth, and the cute pink peaks standing proudly in the center.
