Chapter 15 To the Empire

 "Good morning!"


 "Yes, good morning~."


 We say that, but it's not morning anymore.


 It's almost time to go to bed again.


 Maybe our bodies are compatible, but we've been at it for almost 24 hours.


 I can't even tell how many days we've spent in this inn. I'm amazed at how insatiable I am. I've become quite the nymphomaniac...


 Back when I was in the sl*ve trade, all I wanted was to get out, but now, with Ceres-kun, even this is fun.


 When I gaze at Ceres-kun on the disheveled bed, he looks so embarrassed. It's incredibly fresh and cute. Plus, being held by Ceres-kun gives me a sense of security, and I forget all the sad things.


 I'm exhausted, but there's something indescribable about this state. Staring at Ceres-kun in my tired state... yes, that makes me happy.


 "Shizuko-san, you can stay in bed. I'll cook something."


 See, it's totally different, right? Ceres-kun is so kind. His cooking is fancy and incredibly delicious, unlike mine.


 But...


 "Shouldn't we clean the bed first and take a shower? You're sweating and, well... sticky too."


 We've been making love so much that it's become a mess. Even the people at the inn said, "You seemed to have had fun yesterday." It's embarrassing, but... well, it's fun in its own way.


 "Hmm, but I can smell Shizuko-san's scent, so I'll stay like this for a little while longer."


 He says things like that so casually! My face turns bright red.


 "Geez! Don't say such embarrassing things. We're going to take a shower now!"


 I've never been told such things before, so I don't know whether to be embarrassed or happy. That's why I take Ceres-kun's hand and lead him to the bathroom.


 "I'm a little lonely."


 He really looks so lonely when he says that...


 "If you like my smell so much, I'll put it on you again, don't look so lonely."


 Aah, I can't refuse him in this state, can I? In the end, I didn't make it out of the shower unscathed...


 "It's great to be young... and it's still so much... Ah... no, I mean Ceres-kun, haah, haah... aren't you so great...?"


 It's amazing for being so young... it's like searching for water in a desert...


 He comes at me with such fervor...


 When I think about it normally, Ceres-kun is a teenager in his prime. Despite that, he never visited a brothel and was a virgin until now...


 And then, he says things like "My first love and my ideal woman." I can't help but feel happy and respond. My mind turns pink, and I don't know what to do with myself.


 "I like you," "I love you" - he keeps repeating those words while holding me gently, as if I were a precious treasure...


 Our bodies fit so well together, and it feels so good...


 I want to accept everything... I want to be wanted endlessly...


 Hehehe, in the end, it was two hours later when we left the bathroom...


 "I'm sorry about that."


 "I'm glad you want me as a woman, but I'm exhausted, let's just cool down."


 "I agree."


 If we stay like this, it wouldn't be fair to the inn's staff. I need to tidy up the bed and sheets...


 Ceres-kun starts preparing dinner... Ah, happiness.


 Because Ceres-kun's cooking is incredibly delicious. It's like dining out, no different at all.


 "Shizuko-san, the meal is ready!"


 "You're as skillful as ever, ah, you made omelet rice, it brings back memories, but Ceres-kun, you're so good at making such a fancy dish, I can't do it, and even more, there's a heart mark on it! Heheheh, I'm so happy."


 The fluffy eggs have "Shizuko" written on them with ketchup, surrounded by a heart... And Ceres-kun's cooking skills, inherited from Kazuma, are second to none.


 There are only two people in the village, including me, who can make such dishes. It's truly a waste to eat it... it's so beautiful.


 "Shizuko-san, let's eat before it gets cold... Itadakimasu!"


 "Itadakimasu!"


 He made this for me... Thinking about it just makes my face light up.


 I've hardly ever had someone cook for me.


 Every time I eat, I feel Ceres-kun's affection.


 Now that I think about it, Ceres-kun has been like this since he was a child.


 Even when he was little, he gave me grilled fish and roasted sweet potatoes. He often made meals at the dining hall.


 It seems I've liked him since those days... Thinking about it just warms my heart.


 "Geez, you're staring at me again. Aren't you going to eat?"


 "No, I was just admiring you."


 "Hehe, really, don't say that again! So what are you going to do now? If you want to do something, I'll help and support you."


 It might be too much to say we should stay like this...


 "I'm so happy now that it might be enough. My dreams have already come true."


 That's true for me too, but...


 I'm afraid we might get carried away and never leave this inn.


 "If, Ceres-kun, if you don't have anything you want to do, how about we go on a journey together? ...Hehe, is that a no?"


 "A journey could be nice. It's fun being with Shizuko-san, and originally, I was planning to meet you in Jimna Village and then head to the Empire."


 "Why are you going to the Empire? Is there a specific reason?"


 "Well, it's the farthest from the Demon Kingdom, right? Since we've managed to distance ourselves from the Demon King's subjugation, I thought it would be safest to go to the place that seems the most secure. If the Demon Kingdom wants to attack us, they'll have to cross the Kingdom and Holy Church Nation, so it's a safe choice."


 Ceres-kun is really...


 Safe, that's definitely about me.


 Even though I'm an A-rank adventurer, he's so overprotective.


 But, you know, it feels... comforting...


 "Well then, Ceres-kun, let's go to the Empire."


 "Yeah, that sounds good..."


 And so, we decided to embark on a journey to the Empire... It'll be fun no matter where we go as long as it's with Ceres-kun.
