Chapter 48: Conflicted Feelings, Happy or Unhappy Lives!
After about an hour of advancement, the girls had delved deep into the ruins.
This was a relatively spacious small hall, but it was diamond-shaped, with a grand base and a narrow ceiling.
“Hmm, that’s enough, Lonis, turn off the lantern.”
“Okay… Okay!”
Lonis pressed the button on the lantern. She was actually very curious why the Tentacle Monster had such a divine artifact.
But overall, her own luck had been a great help, otherwise the girls wouldn’t have been able to reach the deepest part of this tomb so safely.
What greeted their eyes was a huge coffin, carved with all sorts of symbols and emblems. Although it was an underground indoor space, a heavenly light poured down from the dome, injecting a sense of sanctity into the room.
“…”
“This is…”
“His Esteemed Highness, the First Prince of the Rose Empire, Semantis Trenside, rests here in eternal sleep. Thank you for his contributions during the War of National Defense.”
Upon glancing at the coffin, Elus recognized the words carved on it.
“Elus, you recognize ancient script?”
“Hmph, of course I do. While that little idiot was slacking off, I was focusing on learning and acquiring knowledge.”
“Wuwuwu…”
“Hmm, it seems that the prince named Semantis is indeed resting here forever. But, why is it like this…”
Elus looked around, appearing extremely confused.
“Elus, what’s wrong?”
“Lonis, didn’t you once say that the Tentacle Monster said this was the resting place of Prince Semantis and her sister, Isabel?”
“Yes!”
“Then why is there only one coffin? And judging by the specifications, it doesn’t seem like there are any other tomb chambers.”
“!”
Lonis was stunned, and only then did she realize something was amiss.
When they walked in just now, they had been moving in a straight line without any turns or forks. This meant that unless they had overlooked something, they should have seen another tomb chamber at least.
Then…
“No, be careful!”
“!”
Before Elus could finish speaking, a sharp sound echoed from the ground.
It was the sound of metal cutting, and by the time Lonis came to her senses… the tombstone in the center of the tomb had been opened!
And who emerged from it?
It was a fully armored knight, his face hidden within his helmet, making him impossible to see clearly.
However, judging by the patterns on the armor and the inscription on the coffin, this was undoubtedly the legendary Prince Semantis…
But, how was this possible?
He had resurrected?!
“…”
“Wait, we mean no harm!”
Just as Lonis was about to try and explain something, the armored knight spoke no words and simply swung a giant axe!
Semantis’s movements were swift and agile, showing no signs of stiffness or awkwardness… Thanks to Elus’s preparedness, she immediately grabbed Lonis’s clothes, saving the little fox from the fate of becoming fur.
“Cécile, protect Lonis for me.”
“Mm, leave it to me.”
Cécile grabbed Lonis’s wrist and quickly retreated backwards, while Elus drew her black sword and attacked Semantis.
Ding Dong!
The blades clashed with the battle axe, emitting a crisp sound.
But even with Elus’s immense strength, she was forced back a step, as if at a disadvantage.
“Elus, are you okay?”
“You idiot little fox, of course I’m fine! Instead of saying unnecessary things, you should adjust yourself and provide me with more magic power.”
“Wuah…”
“…”
This development was too strange.
But watching Elus fight, Lonis could only take a deep breath and try to control herself… Although it was strange, she couldn’t stop. After all, it was only when she felt greatly stimulated that she could provide magic power to Elus?
And the moment her fingers touched her body, Lonis understood why Elus usually loved to tease her.
Because the delicate feeling was incredibly smooth.
Once touched, it gave a sense of great satisfaction, as if the hearts of everyone in the world were gathered here, making it truly irresistible.
“…”
However, even though Lonis was carefully stroking herself, Elus on the other side called out:
“Little idiot, the magic power is not enough, give me more.”
“Eh, still… still not enough?”
“Mm, I don’t want to get into a protracted battle with this guy… Quick, quick!”
“Ah, I, I understand…”
But no matter how fast she was, how fast could she be?
When doing such things, isn’t it not always the faster, the better?
The frequency, degree, scale, and uncertainty of touching were the most important!
Moreover, the feeling derived from touching oneself was much more difficult than from others.
(This, this won’t involve lifting the skirt, right?)
“…”
Lonis felt ashamed and started sweating at the thought of having to do such a thing.
How perverted would a silver-haired girl wearing cute white stockings be to do such a shameless thing in someone else’s tomb?
However, fortunately, Cécile was also nearby. Seeing this, she quickly said:
“Hero Lonis, do you need my help?”
“Eh, help… How can I help?”
Looking at Cécile’s big eyes, Lonis felt that things were becoming stranger… It wasn’t enough to tease herself, they had to involve their companions in teasing her too?
However, Princess Cécile shook her head and quickly explained:
“N-no, I don’t mean doing strange things, I… I can also touch Lonis’s ears and head.”
“Ears?”
“Those areas also help provide magic power, right?”
“Y-yes…”
“Then, shall I begin?”
“Mm…”
“…”
Lonis bit her lip, allowing Cécile to caress her forehead and fox ears.
At this, Lonis became so ashamed that her mind went completely blank.
Because she had no idea whether she should act comfortable.
Because if she acted comfortable, and also acted happy, would Elus, the big tsundere, get jealous, thinking she was flirting indiscriminately and starting another harem?
After that, the tsundere princess would definitely bully her fiercely!
But, if she acted unhappy…
She wouldn’t be able to provide magic power to Elus either.
If Elus didn’t get her magic power replenished, she might be defeated by Semantis, and might get injured!
So…
Lonis felt like a little soft girl trapped on a bed by a strange girl, and at this moment, Elus suddenly called.
The intertwined feelings of worry and fear made Lonis’s emotions surge, and her body trembled violently as magic power gathered.
And at this very moment…
“…”
“Whoosh, finally gathered enough magic power?”
“!”
“Then… I’ll defeat you completely here!”
“…”
The black sword in Elus’s hand had turned pure and elegant white.
And the incredibly dazzling radiance completely consumed the entire world before her…
