65 Episode 65 "Sharing Awareness (Mind Linkage) and Cecils Confession".txt (2/2)

'I can't hear you very well, can I use my skills?

'──── skills?　And ────?

'Shared Consciousness (Mandate Linkage) LV 1,' which we discussed yesterday!

'────?　Which - skills ────?

I guess you didn't hear me.

I thought I explained about the skills I got in yesterday's 'Soul About (Engage)'.

''Ma-i-n-de-r-i-n-ke ji!　It's a shared consciousness!

That's it!

Blurting out, Cecil's face turned bright red.

She looked at me with red eyes, wiped her lips with her tiny palm, and then

”............ yes ...... please ......

Cecil closed his eyes, as if he'd made up his mind.

I let go of the mast for a moment and took Cecil's hand in mine. I lift her slender body up. Cecil, it's really light. It's tiny. No one's looking at me - I guess the reason I'm still worried about reporting is because the rules of the original world are ingrained in my head. But we can't ignore the voice of a slave, you know. You're a master, you know. It can't be helped.

In order not to make Cecil uneasy, I have to take down my aim and...

Activation. ”Mind Linkage Lv 1.

Cecil's lips were warm and soft. Her breath was very, very hot.

mind linkage

The skill of communicating with a slave in consciousness for a certain amount of time.

The slave is able to communicate his intentions to his master, even when he is far away.

The master can do the same, but the master can also read the slave's thoughts by focusing his consciousness.

The activation requires mutual trust in each other.

As proof, a kiss on the lips is the key to activating it.

”Cecil, Cecil. Can you hear me?

After I put Cecil down, I ask him in my mind.

Cecil is curled up on a blanket laid on the bottom of the boat. His spreading silver hair looks like a shiny carpet. Her skirt is fluttering heavily because of the wind coming in from the stern. If Cecil hadn't turned his head toward me, I would have been in trouble. It's a shame.

'Oi, Cecil. Cecil. Tell me if you're not feeling well. Do you want some water?　”Maneuvering LV7 says we're in the current, so we're about 15 minutes away from land.

My body is fluffy and my heart is beating. I feel like I'm dying of happiness. ......

Cecil said, hiding his bright red face with a blanket.

To be exact, he delivered the message directly to my head. It sounds like it's the same as Cecil's actual voice.

''How many times does Nagi-sama have to make me a bad girl ...... to make me feel better?''

'Cecil, what were you going to say to me earlier?

I found a shop that sells Ilgafa's speciality, 'Haiyuu Deep Fried Sea Dragons' when I came here, why don't I buy some for everyone to take home?　I said,

...... It was very unimportant.

It's a great way to get a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a great way to get a good bite to eat on freshly baked bread.

I'm not going to be the only one who will be able to do that.

Nothing wrong with that.

'No, I'm too happy that I'm the only one working with Nagi and that he's even using ”consciousness sharing” with me. I'm afraid I'm getting weird expectations. I'm not as admirable as Rita-san and Raphilia-san, but ............'

Turning sideways, Cecil is holding his chest.

I'm vaguely feeling all kinds of thoughts, but what's this?

'Come to think of it, Nagi-sama can read my thoughts by using ”mind linkage”, right?

”As long as you focus. Don't worry, I'll only use it with your permission.

”What?　You mean to tell me that Nagi can see what I'm thinking right now?

”That's why you said you wouldn't peek into Cecil's thoughts without permission...

You can see the whole thing: ...... My dream too!　I also dreamed of being with Nagi-sama for the rest of my life, and living quietly in a peaceful place surrounded by children of human and demon blood?　Do you have a view of that?

Cecil, that's an admission!　I mean, he's self-destructing!'

”...... Pusyu..................

I didn't listen.

Cecil is lying on the bottom of the boat with a blanket over his head.

Maybe it's because he's panicking, but his thoughts are mixed up with the message he wants to deliver. Come to think of it, I've never used telepathy before, and I can't usually tell the difference between what I'm thinking and what I want to say: ....... Especially when you're excited.

So, Cecil's thoughts are dripping out to me and...

Don't even think about it. Nagi-sama will understand. It's a good idea to have a child of Nagi's, or to live with children of the half-demon race.

...... Of course, I can't be the only one to be happy, so I'll be living with Rita's ...... beastman-blooded children, too!　You can't think like that!

I'm next to Nagi and I'm a half demon child ...... boy or girl, but I can't believe I'm carrying ...... ............ I am too happy. I get so excited just thinking about it. And, but I'm not going to think of it now because I'm embarrassed that Nagi-sama would know about it. I shouldn't!

Nagi-sama understands if you think about a paradise surrounded by half-demon and half-beast children, or Aine and Raphilia all getting along ............ or something like that. I'm not thinking about it!　I don't think so, do I?

If Nagi-sama finds out about this, I'll die of shame. So don't just think about this half-demon/half-beast-man paradise!　I can't do it now. I can't just think about the fact that I want Nagi-sama's children someday. ────!'

exclamation point

At the bottom of the boat, Cecil picks himself up.

She's looking up at me with tears in her eyes, with the blanket over her head.

'Na, Nagi-sama!　Did you hear that?　Did you hear me?

”Nanni mo kienakatta yo!

I blurted out.

Because Cecil is so red that it looks like steam is coming out of his head.

If I stimulate her any further, she might collapse for a reason other than her magic power running out.

”Nami no oto no seikkaner. Sappari kikoenakatander.

”Why are you reading out loud?　Why are you laughing with your mouth shut?　Now, you heard me, didn't you?　I'm going to melt if you look at me that warmly.　Please say something, Nagi-sama!

”Cecil is so cute.

'Oh, please don't cheat by popping your head in!　You can't just stroke it!　But you can't quit!　Na, Nagi-sama.

Cecil's cheeks are puffed up, but he's smiling with a face that looks like he's about to melt.

'The deepest parts of my soul are resonating with each other. It makes my heart skip a beat. Na, Nagi-sama, if you keep quiet like that, I'm ready to do it too, right?　I'm going to pretend you heard me, okay?　You sure you want to do this?　Huh?　Don't you dare!

............ awa ............ awa... ......... is also, already, Nagi-sama, ────!'

So Cecil was busy laughing, angry and embarrassed.

I had to keep her calm or she was going to roll over and into the ocean.

I kept nudging Cecil's head until we reached land.
