196 After Days: Yes, lets go to the sea! (5) (2/2)

”You can't say no, can you?

”I won't tell you, but I don't think it's that easy to catch.

”Really?”

”Heh, really....”

”... because anise is very popular, I'm really worried when you tell me it's okay.”

Yufi's nails gently scratched my throat and traced my clavicle. The way I touched it was ticklish and I tried to twist myself, but Yufi was lying down on my stomach so I couldn't escape.

”My place is next to Yufi!

”... really?

”Really?

”... then I don't really want you to focus on me. Even though you know it's a bad thing, that's what you think. Because the world you're looking at is different from mine, and you're scared to go somewhere. So please talk to me properly.”

”Ha, yes....”

Ugh, what inspired Yufi's jealousy...? Anyway, did you get through it...?

”Did you enjoy the sea?

”Yeah? Yeah, it was fun.”

Do you want to come again?

”Hmm? I see, if I can come again....”

”Then we have to pull the good terms from the Empire and sell the favors. I'm responsible for selling the idea to the Empire.”

”I don't know, maybe I've already thought of something.

”Still, it is. I wish there was only one thing I could offer from the Kingdom of Palletia...”

Well then, I guess that would be good. Magic instruments ”

”Magic instruments?

Yufi raised her eyebrows again.

”Isn't it a beautiful picture of spirits dancing on the ocean at night?

It is the fireworks of my previous life that remind me of them. Magic can be like fireworks, but no one in the Empire is as magical as the Palatian Kingdom.

In that case, I think it would be a good idea to invite spirits to dance in the performance of magical instruments, so I'll try to mouth it.

Then for some reason Yufi sharpened her mouth. Uh, what, why? What didn't work out?

”... Yufi?

”... it's not that interesting. I wonder if this will make you worthy again within the Empire.”

”Were you worried?

I will.

”I'm next to Yufi.”

”I know. I know.... there are times when you just want to lock yourself up. I get into trouble wherever I go, and I attract people....”

”No, the second half isn't about boulders!?”

”That's why I can't possibly forgive a past that made me lose that sense.”

Hmm....? I don't mean to bring such a person in...? No, I don't think you'll ever be thanked for spreading magic tools. But I don't think Yufi has anything to worry about.

”Okay, Anis?”

”Eh, well, what...?

”The Irene Empire belongs to the Palletian kingdom, and it has different values than the nobles in particular. You may be used to being malicious to yourself, but that's because the aristocracy of the Palatian kingdom has cast magic on you. The Irene Empire sees your values differently. So be more careful how you feel about yourself.”

”You know, even if you don't have to push me carefully...?

Even if I protest, Yufi seems to be dissatisfied or stubborn...

... hmm? Are you stubborn?

”... Yufi, are you stubborn?

”... why?”

”I couldn't swim well.”

”... because I didn't have a chance.”

No, that's true.

”I just thought about it again. If you think of something I can't think of, you might catch people in unexpected places. Honestly, I don't know how to enjoy the sea. But Anis soon finds value. Because you know. That... makes me a little anxious.”

Yufi holds my hand and grips it together. Looking down at me with an expression of anxiety, I leaned a little and narrowed my distance.

”... I can't go anywhere. Anis”

If you say that with such a sweet voice, you can't help but meditate hard in your eyes.

I want to grieve, I want to grieve very much now. I'm sorry to trouble Yufi, but you don't have to worry about that.

”Yufi”

I reached out to Yufi's cheek thinking she was really cute. Keep your hands on the back of your head and hug Yufi.

Apply it to your mouth many times to replace the heat on your touched lips. Yufi leaves her body to me to be sweet and immerses herself in her mouth.

”I'm not going anywhere. We'll be together forever. There's a lot going on here for the first time, and even if it doesn't work out... it's good to be with Yufi.”

Something like this happened, I'm sure it'll be memorable. So now let's get close to Yufi's anxiety and little jealousy.

You can hear the sound of small waves from afar. Hearing the sound, I held Yufi tight.

--In the future.

In the Irene Empire, the culture of recreation is rooted in beach bathing.

The water-resistant dress, made of water-resistant material, became a feminine aspiration as a beauty that lived on the beach.

The stalls, which utilized local specialty seafood, attracted further demand and led to the development of the territory with the bustling beaches.

And on special days such as anniversaries, the ”Spirit Festival”, in which spirits dance on the evening beach as a stage, was established as people's pleasure by performing magical instruments inviting spirits.

Singing at the Spirit Festival is a song that celebrates the friendship with the Palatian kingdom that started the festival.

As one of the two nations, this song will be perpetuated in later generations.
