[The Bewitching Onee-san and the Female Great Ogre]
If someone with Phoenix Seal was recognized as mine, wouldn’t she be excluded from Phinis-sama’s target of eradication if she had one too? —That seemed to be Shiva’s… I mean, Shiva-san’s reasoning.
Well, Phinis-sama did say she would let the girls off because they were mine and they would be her children, too.
If that was the case, Shiva-san’s conjecture might not be wrong.
Besides, there was also a chance that the curse might be purified if my power circulated from inside her instead from the outside of her body—or so she said.
――Hence the ‘embrace’.
Well, you know, it wouldn’t hurt to try it out, right?
I mean, a life was at stake here, so I agreed to her request with a strong nod.
Let’s set aside the fact that the girls then gave me a look full of suspicion…
The result——Shiva-san was completely cured.
I wasn’t sure which of her conjectures worked out in the end, but the bruises disappeared from her body without a trace, and all the powers I had gained so far poured into her body just like with the other girls. She even commented that her body had become so much lighter than before.
In other words, not only she made a complete recovery, but she also had powered-up.
With this our party’s force had increased in overall strength; all’s well that ended well.
Mm-mhm, I nodded to myself but,
“——Oi.”
“……Yes.” Called by Arca wearing a really scary expression, I replied timidly.
Not to mention, I was still lying in bed. With Shiva-san.
Don’t get the wrong idea, we weren’t doing the deed, but…
“Fufu♪.”
――Pat, pat.
“……”
She was giving me a lap pillow…
I didn’t know why, but Shiva-san was strangely kind to me after she was completely recovered…
In a really cute manner, she had asked me with a smile, “Oh, yeah. Shall I give you a lap pillow?” so I couldn’t turn her down…
“““““……”””””
――Stare~.
“……”
The result was this.
Shiva-san was completely nonchalant in this situation. Was this what people called the composure of an adult?
Onee-san-type older women sure were amazing…
“So, for how long are you planning to spoil him?” asked Arca.
“My, isn’t it okay? It is a wife’s duty to care for her beloved darling once in a while, right?” Shiva-san replied.
“Fufu, you spout some interesting stuff. Since when did you become Exa’s wife?” Magmell asked with a smile that didn’t reach her twitching eyes.
Shiva-san smiled leisurely and said, “Just a while ago, of course. I never thought he would love me that much, after all. Thanks to that, this Onee-san was completely captivated by him.”
“Well, good for ya, then. But ain’t ya mistaking onee-san with ‘auntie’?” Ophir asked boldly.
Yet, Shiva-san was completely unperturbed, “Fufu, little girl whose only merit is being young and has no sex appeal—what would you know? To me, you only look like a female Great Ogre, though?”
