Tama returned immediately after he sent Shiri back to the castle.
Currently, he couldn’t think anyone but Shiri.
Thus, he had to go back before Aria and co awake.
Thus, Tama was walking alone in the night street again.
◆
「Fuuh, to think that I’ll be this nervous even though the other party is just a kitten…」
Private room in the castle――
Shiri who undressed her kimono muttered so in her slightly daring, violet colored underwear.
And then, rosy color appeared on her cheeks the moment she touched her lips.
She recalled the moment when she kissed Tama’s forehead.
Shiri never kiss anyone of the opposite sex ever since she was born.
This kiss was her first kiss――
It was supposed to be no count since the other party was a kitten and yet… her heart felt like it was about to burst.
Though there was also the fact that Tama was a wise kitten who understand human language, after come into contact with the hero who subjugated the demon king and talking about spending some time together, she realized that Tama’s existence was bigger than she thought.
「I’ve never felt like this even when the nobilities or royalties from other countries approached me. Is this… love?」
Shiri was rubbing her thighs together while embracing her own body.
Her body became hot whenever she recalled Tama’s brave figure when he fought the monster in the labyrinth.
「If I’m not wrong, Aria said that Tama is an elemental cat. He surely can pin me down once he grew bigger…?」
Shiri’s face flushed even redder than before upon imagining Tama’s adult form.
And just like that, she fell into the bed… And what happen after that goes without daying――
◆
(Yup, finally arrived.)
Tama returned into the room from the window.
He heaved a sigh upon confirming that everyone was still asleep.
And then, carefully entered the bed in order to not awake everyone.
Naturally, the place he chose was right beside Aria’s pillow.
Aria was starting to sleep talking when Tama curled near her pillow.
In that way, her hand moved on its own to carry Tama into her clea*vage… but then――
「… Smell of another woman.」
――Her eyes snapped open as she spoke an extremely worrying remark.
「Nyaa(HIIIIII)…」
Tama raised a small squeal upon hearing Aria’s remark and being glared by her.
Aria straight out ignoring Tama’s reaction and proceeding to sniff Tama’s belly.
「Indeed, it’s the smell of another woman. And this smell… No way, are you going with Her Majesty Shiri?」
Aria asked Tama with freezing cold look that sent a chill running down into his spine.
Elves’ sense of smell was many times sharper than normal human.
It seems Aria marked Shiri’s smell when they have the audience with the latter.
「N-Nyaa(Y-You’re mistaken, Master)…!」
It wasn’t even an affair but still, Tama let out desperate cries like a husban trying to spun excuse(?) when their wife discovered that their husband was cheating.
To be able to discover the fact that he just going out with Shiri from smell alone… made Tama even terrified of Aria.
「Moreover, this is clearly the smell of woman in heat. Tama… could it be?」
—Nonono, what make you think we did that?
— Eh? not scary?
Surely, Shiri seems to be quite excited seeing Tama’s brave figure.
But, what made him even more scared was his master sense of smell that could even sniff that out from the smell alone.
Tama shook his head with a teary look on his face in order to deny Aria’s accusation.
Seeing her desperate look on pet(knight)’s face, Aria――
「Good grief, I’m fine with you having a night stroll but, you mustn’t cheat on me you know?」
――And then, she hugged Tama, and kissed his forehead.
「N-Nya~(S-Safe~)…」
Tama heaved a sigh upon managing to defuse the misunderstanding from blowing out of proportion.
And just like that, Tama fell asleep inside Aria’s cleavage as the latter patted his head.
