Volume 2 Chapter 2 I Was Embraced──
Kyunei's sleeping face was so beautiful that it could be a painting. However, before I could fully appreciate it, there was something that bothered me.
I couldn't help but notice the 'horns' growing from the side of her head.
"Ah, it's understandable that you're concerned about it, partner, but for now, let it be. After all, since you were brought in, she has been taking care of you diligently, even after your condition stabilized."
"I see..."
If that's the case, it wouldn't be right to wake her up forcibly.
I quietly slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake Kyunei, and stood up.
As I lifted my hand and tightly clenched it, I felt strength. It seems like I'm in better condition than before.
"Don't wander around butt naked. I don't have a hobby of admiring guys' naked bodies."
"How coincidental. I don't have a hobby of exposing myself naked to spears either."
My clothes were neatly folded by the side of the bed. Did Kyunei wash them for me?
When I was putting on my clothes, Gram asked me,
"Hey, partner. What did you think when you saw Kyunei-chan's horns?"
"Well, I was surprised, but..."
"Is that all?"
"The impact of her breasts is bigger than the horns."
It's big considering she's busty.
"You're thinking about stupid stuff."
"That's why you shouldn't read people's minds."
"You're too easy to understand, partner."
How can a man whose heart is seen through by a spear...
"But hey, it's good that you're still your usual self, partner."
"Are you making fun of me?"
"I'm praising you."
How can a man be praised by a spear...
"Yawn... oh?"
Feeling a bit down, I heard a noise behind me. When I turned around, Kyunei was rubbing her eyes and getting out of bed. She looked around, confused, because I wasn't beside her.
"What? ...Yukina... is that you?"
"Yeah, good morning."
When she turned towards me, I smiled and greeted her.
It was Kyunei, who had been staring at my face with a slightly puzzled expression, but suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.
I was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but before I could say anything, Kyunei jumped out of bed and hugged me.
"...I'm glad."
She said in a hesitant voice, and I noticed that Kyunei's shoulders were trembling.
"I...I was able to help you."
The words that Gram had just said echoed in my mind.
──If it hadn't been her, I would have been in a seriously injured state that couldn't have been saved.
Maybe my injuries were much more serious than I had imagined.
Perhaps even to the point where the probability of losing my life was much higher. I can only imagine the immense pressure that Kyunei must have felt, being entrusted with my healing.
I understand that I should say something to Kyunei, but... I just can't think of anything.
As I was thinking about it──
'When you're feeling like that, you should just give her a hug.'
Gram's telepathic message echoed in my head, and I suddenly noticed a spear leaning against the wall.
It was still just a "spear," but in my mind, I saw someone with a kind smile, giving a thumbs-up.
It was frustrating to be lectured by a spear, but...
──I embraced Kyunei's body.
Kyunei was startled when my arms wrapped around her back, but gradually, the tension left her shoulders. Along with that, her trembling subsided without her even realizing it.
──How long have I been doing this?
And so, I said something awkwardly.
"You seem worried... It's like you've been through a lot."
"Yeah, I was really scared when they brought you in, almost dying."
"My bad...
"No, really. But it's all good now. You're awake and that's all that matters."
And she continues,
"And thanks to that, I was able to realize how big of a presence you were in my life."
"...?"
"Well, you know, I used to be a pr**titute in the royal capital who could captivate any man. But now, I'm being manipulated by a man twho didn't even know women yet."
As I tilt my head, not understanding the meaning of her words, she says with a pout. Even though we're hugging and I can't see her face, I can hear the emotions in her voice.
"Um... I'm sorry about that."
"Don't apologize. It's just me getting carried away."
We had been embracing for a while, without any agreement, but we both loosened our grip on each other. However, we didn't let go completely.
As our bodies separate slightly, we continue to gaze into each other's eyes in the same position.
Unintentionally, my gaze falls on Kyunei's 'horns'.
She noticed it and lowered her face anxiously.
After a while, Kyunei slowly lifted her face.
"...So, 'this horn,' feels weird?"
"No, not really."
"Huh?"
She asked timidly, but when she heard my answer, her face became surprised.
It was a reaction as if she heard an unexpected answer when she asked hesitantly.
"There's something even more shocking in front of me."
Certainly, my gaze went to the 'horn,' but there is a much more tremendous presence right next to me.
My gaze goes from her head to her face, and then to her chest.
──Those enormous breasts are being pressed against my chest.
Something similar happened when we went on a date before.
At that time, Kyunei's outfit was provocative, but now she is completely naked. Just thinking that important female parts are hidden where they can't be seen... it's unbearable.
I looked alternately at her eyes and face, and then she asked timidly.
"Um...I'll ask again, but do you find this horn creepy or eerie or anything like that?"
"...? Well, I was surprised, but..."
I didn't really understand what was so unsettling about it, but I expressed my honest feelings.
"Just because a beautiful woman has horns doesn't make her any less beautiful."
In this world, there are even silver-haired, big-breasted beauties with fox ears and tails, so it wouldn't be strange to have a big-breasted beauty with horns.
'Partner, that's the worst response if the situation was different.'
Shut up, Gram.
I glared at the spear and then turned to Kyunei, who had a dumbfounded expression at first.
...Did I do something wrong by any chance?
'Well, if you say you did something wrong, then you did! Didn't I say "if the situation was different"!'
Gram's voice sounded cheerful. It was clear that he was having fun.
Then──
"...I can't take it anymore. There's no way I can put up with this."
After muttering like a whisper, lost in thought...
Kyunei smiled.
My spine... shivered.
Her eyes were swollen with tears, but her expression was so captivating and beautiful that it seemed to steal my 'soul' just by looking at it.
My heart raced with excitement, and seizing the opportunity, Kyunei strengthened her grip on my arm, bringing us closer again.
And then, to my surprise, our faces came close together along with our bodies.
"Hey, wait! Kyune──mmph!?"
I tried to stop it in a panic, but it was already too late.
Our lips met.
My mind went completely blank.
I felt...
the softness of her lips and...
her warmth.
Breath.
In other words, every other sense disappeared, and my thoughts were completely consumed by my connection with her.
──As time passed, whether it was long or short, Kyunei slowly parted her lips.
"Ky-Kyunei-san?"
"Kyunei."
"Hm?"
"Call me Kyunei... without honorifics. I... want you to call me that."
Combined with the impact of the kiss, I called out her name as prompted.
"Ky... Kyunei."
In my heart, I had been calling her that quite often, but now that I said it out loud... it feels embarrassing.
When I called out her name, she slowly lifted her face.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
What appeared on her face was the most beautiful and radiant smile I had ever seen on her.
"I love you... Yukina-kun. I... love you."
And once again, as I became speechless, Kyunei pressed her lips against mine.

Huh? What did this woman just say?
