”Y-yeah,” he answers, sounding nervous about something which confuses Nell.

She looks up.

He's angling his head away from the tips of her horns.

Nell, wanting to tease her boyfriend even more while this rare, mischievous mood of hers lasts, stands up on the tips of her toes to bring her horns even closer to her hero's face. ”What is wrong, my hero?” she asks him with the most innocent voice that she could fake.

”This is cruel and unusual punishment,” Fenrir says. ”I know you're doing this on purpose.”

”Doing what?” she asks, her horns following whichever direction his head turns to.

”I think you've been spending too much time around Serra and Olly,” he says, standing on the tips of his own toes now to escape her.

Unfortunately, while they both may have tails, Nell's is more useful and capable of supporting her and pushing her even farther up. She has to use her wings when doing this to help balance herself, though.

”Is there a reason why you are so desperately trying to escape your loving princess, my hero? Is it – no! Don't tell me that you are horrified of my face now! Am I not pretty enough for you anymore?” Nell asks, forcing herself to sound shocked and heartbroken as she even manages to get a couple of fake tears going.

Then it hits Fenrir.

Not her horns, but an idea.

Fenrir looks down at her, lifts his arms, and grabs her horns.

”Hah, now you can't stab me with them,” he says, looking down at her face.

”M-my hero, my horns are sensitive. You – you are holding them so roughly,” Nell moans as she squirms around in his grasp.

There's just no winning for him. Either he's on the defensive and trying not to get stabbed, or is flustered from his girlfriend's sudden arousal which just makes him aroused.

”Don't you have something to be doing?” Oleander asks, poking his head down the stairs. ”Everybody can hear you and it's getting kind of awkward.”

”A-ah, yeah, sorry,” Fenrir apologizes with an even brighter face than before. Even his ears are turning red at this point.

Still holding her up by her horns, Fenrir walks next to the hammock, lies down on it, and then puts her on top of him in a position where he won't be at risk of her horns. This position has her head right next to his own. As long as he has her like this, her horns won't be able to stab up into his head.

Nell looks at her hero with a wide, happy smile as she nuzzles her face up against the side of his own. ”You make a wonderful pillow, my hero. Though, I must admit that I prefer your real body as a body pillow. It is much softer!” she explains.

Fenrir doesn't know how to feel about that. ”Is that a good or a bad thing?” he asks.

”A good thing! Do not mistake me, my hero. I do not mean to call you fat. You are simply not as wide and muscular as you are here. I can easily wrap myself around you and be comfortable against any part of you in reality, but here, muscles do not make for a good pillow as much as you may enjoy having them.”

”You know, I never thought I'd have a girlfriend who likes me to not be muscular, but I'm not going to complain. It means I don't have to worry about working out and putting on muscles to keep you around.”

”Such a silly hero. Now, shall we go deal with those pesky real-life problems?”

”Yeah, we might as well get that out of the way with.”

”I shall see you on the other side, my hero!” Nell closes her eyes and wakes from virtual reality.

However, before Fenrir does, Saya says, ”Onii-chan, are you alright?”

”Yeah. Why?” Fenrir thinks back to her.

”You shouldn't lie to me, you baka. Don't forget I'm in your head! Literally!”

”Then why ask me a question you already know the answer to?”

”Hmph. You better take care of yourself. Try not to feel too guilty about what happened with Aiko, okay? It's not your fault, and if I'm saying that, then you know that you know it's true! Crazy girls are just crazy.”

”Hey, it's not nice to call her crazy.”

”I wouldn't call her that if you didn't think the same.”

”It's still not polite.”

”I don't care if it's not polite. I can sense that calling her crazy has helped you feel a tiny bit better, so she's crazy!”

Fenrir chuckles. ”Thanks, Saya. I'll let you be rude this once, but don't get used to it.”

”What're you gonna do about it if I do get used to it? Huh? There's literally nothing you can do.”

”I'll uninstall you.”

”You'd have to take your brain out which would mean killing yourself.”

”At least if I go out, I'm taking you with me.”

”You're a baka, Onii-chan.”

”I know. Anyways, I've got to go deal with annoying responsible adult things. Later, Saya.”
