40 Chapter 33: The Voice of the Heavens; Seriously, I Really Feel So (2/2)

Obviously, it was loud enough for Fleur to hear. I mean, I could hear her just fine beyond the door.

Ahhh…

What did I expect…? Ahahaha…

The door immediately opened. There I saw Fleur, still wearing her clothes. But they're shifted, with some parts taken off, making the important parts visible.

Ah, no. Sorry about your imagination, but she's covering herself with a cloth. That's a shame for you readers, eh? Ahaha~

Fleur: ”…?! C-Ci… el…?”

Ciel: ”…”

Hmm… Now what? What are the appropriate words here?

Hmmm…

'You were hot.' Yep. That's definitely out. That will lead to the bad ending. I wasn't even looking at her.

'You were beautiful.' Will that do? Obviously not! I mean, from her perspective, how can masturbating be something beautiful? She's exposed her everything, man. I wasn't even looking at her.

'You got me horny as well.' Hell, I'll be treated as some pervert. I mean, I know I already am. I eavesdropped, after all. I wasn't even looking at her.

'Want me to help you?' I definitely want to! But that's a different story. Obviously, I'm not her mother, but I at least see her as a little sister. I can't do that to my little sister. I'm not a light novel protagonist, after all. I wasn't eve- *sigh*

… I should've looked.

Wait…

THEY'RE ALL UP TO NO GOOD!

Whatever I come up with, I can only imagine the worst results! To begin with, I've already stepped on a land mine the moment I decided to listen…!

Aaahh…~ Damn me and my insatiable junior.

I have to beat it later!

… A-Ahem.

Anyways, I need to come up with a response. And quick. Her eyes are already swimming around from the confusion, while holding the door. She's trying to close it, but then she'll open it, wanting to say something. It's now become a series of silent maneuvers.

Fleur: ”Aah. Uhm… I-I…! Well… Th-This is…!!”

Alright. Here's my special response in these cases! I thought of such things and came up with this special phrase! Though this case is my first!

Go, me!

Ciel: ”The weather's nice today, isn't it?”

Fleur: ”… I-It is over… My life is over…”

All life from her eyes disappeared as she hands her head down.

Crap. I failed.

…

Fleur: ”… *glance*”

Ciel: ”I'm sorry, I listened. But don't worry, I only saw you for an instant.”

Let's just be honest here. There's no need to get my way out of here.

Right now, I'm sitting across Fleur, sitting on my knees as if to prostrate. Fleur, on the other hand is holding a cloth over her still flushed body.

Fleur: ”R-Raise your head up…! There is no need for you to apologize…”

What a good girl…!! *sniffle*

But that just makes me even more guilty.

Ciel: ”I see. Still, I apologize.”

Fleur: ”It is fine. Really… Yes… It is all my fault… For not restraining myself and t-touched myself… And on top of that, I showed everything to you, even my embarrassing places… I was even releasing indecent voices… Not caring about anything around me… Just inserted my finger and r-r-r-r-r-rub my…! Aaahh… … Fufu… What was I doing, I wonder…? Fufu… Fufufufufu… I should just die…”

That's the emptiest laugh I have ever heard in my life…

Ciel: ”Uhm. Ms. Fleur? You sound scary at the moment. Specially, your eyes…”

To think there's this side of Fleur. It's sort of amusing.

But of course, it's not amusing for Fleur, so I should clear things up as soon as possible.

Ciel: ”So, uhm… You were masturbating, right?”

Fleur: ”…? M-Mastur…?”

Fleur tilted her head in inquiry, still blushed. That's kind of erocute. A mix of erotic and cute.

Wait… She's not aware of what she was doing…?

Ciel: ”Fleur. Let me just make it clear. Uhm… Can I ask what you were doing earlier…?”

She covered her face with her hands, but I can still see her ears blushing from embarrassment. I feel like I just rubbed salt onto the wound, but…

Or rather, she knows that it's something embarrassing at least, I see.

Fleur: ”… Uhm… I… I am not certain, as well… I just… I just followed what felt sort of… 'itchy'…? And that… Uu… happened… Uu…”

… This looks like pure bullying, to be honest…

Ciel: ”I know this may be a weird question, but… Why?”

Yeah. Even I know it'll be a weird question to ask. If you were asked 'Why are you masturbating?' or something…

'I was horny~ Teehee~' is the only answer to that, right? Like why the hell would one masturbate, right? I heard some do it to relieve stress, or just because they're bored. But it all comes down to the feeling, right?

But, that's not it. If Fleur was just a normal girl you can find at a random city or somewhere, then I wouldn't consider asking that.

But she's not.

She has a power she could not control. She was placed under a curse and died. Then she was resurrected. If something out of nowhere is happening to her body right now, it may be related to her conditions.

And if it's something dangerous, then we should do something about it.

Not to mention, it's weird how she's conflicted by her actions. It's like, she doesn't know what's happening.

Well, I may be just overthinking things, though.

Fleur: ”I… I am not really sure, as well. It started before we left the dungeon… It was stifling… My body flamed with heat… My heart would beat rapidly… My nether… would itch… and around my belly too. Like a tightening sensation…”

Uhhmm… That really sounded so lewd… She, being fine with telling me this, tells more about how pure she is. Or like, she just doesn't know that she's already saying lewd stuff.

How pure…!!

Uh, what was I asking again?

Fleur: ”And, the feeling became uncontrollable… Then earlier, I… It was the first time I was feeling it when I'm trying to take a bath… And then… And then I… touched… Ah… ~~!!”

So that means, up to now, whenever she takes a bath, she's not feeling anything. So this is the first time, I see. Hmhm.

Wait, that's not it.

She's been feeling horny since before the time we got out of the dungeon. That means… It was shortly after her resurrection.

Hmmm.

I see, I see.

If it's what I think it is…

Ciel: ”Listen well, Fleur.”

Fleur: ”Y-Yes?”

Fleur gingerly popped her head out of the cloth. She now looks like a small animal covered with blanket, with only her face showing.

Ciel: ”I think that's an after-effect of the resurrection. Maybe. I'm still not sure.”

Fleur: ”Eh?”

She tilts her head, almost as if a question mark would pop out from her head.

Ciel: ”You see, living beings have this certain mechanism. Primarily, one of the main purpose of an organism is to reproduce. Do you follow?”

Fleur: ”Y-Yes. I learned that from school I attended before.”

Ciel: ”Good.”

But, man. What the hell am I doing, lecturing a girl after I caught her masturbating? This is beyond weird and awkward…

Ciel: ”That mechanism I was pertaining to is, when an organism nears death, the instinct to reproduce and leave an offspring would kick in. In other words, the desire to copulate will be intensified.”

It's actually derived from Freud's theories.

Of course, it's not only towards the instinct to reproduce, and that there are other instincts that kick in to channel their death instincts outwards, like: the instinct to survive, or to simply satisfy desires.

That's what usually happens when a person faces death. It's the same in movies and stuff. When a character is dying, either he or she will be reminded of the things he or she wanted to do before dying, or just simply a will to live will resurface in his or her mind. And then, they will try the hardest to find a solution to avoid their death.

Well, it's just a speculation of mine based from what I studied, so it's not really reliable.

Fleur: ”Ohhh… So that is how it is. It is because I died, but was later revived, that I merely felt… a-a-a-aroused…? ~~~~~…!!”

She once again blushed and covered her face with the cloth. Darn it… What in the world is this creature? She's so damn cute. I want to bring her home.

Still, that's what I've told her, but… I think there's more to it than just a simple instinct. I have a clue as to what, but I don't want to worry her unnecessarily.

So, I'll keep it to myself for now.

Ciel: ”Yeah. It may last a few more days, I'm not sure. But it's completely normal.”

Fleur: ”I-I see. That is a relief. I thought something may have been wrong with me.”

She brought her hand on her chest, as if to calm herself down. But because of that, the once covered part of her chest became visible even to me.

… She really is huge, huh? Now that I look at them closely.

Ciel: ”Don't worry about it. I do it too.”

I then flashed a thumbs up and accompanied it with a wink.

Fleur: ”Eh?!”

Ciel: ”Anyways, just tell me if the urge comes back, so that I'll know when to not disturb you. Then you can do it carefree. Good idea, right?”

Fleur: ”I-I… I do not need such consideration…!!”
