225 – Discovery #5
“Haaa-ah-.”
Perhaps it was because she had been working a lot all day, Aira kept yawning around 10 PM.
Mirna might have criticized her for yawning so openly, but Aira’s job 《Flower》 made even a simple yawn look elegant.
“It’s tto go to bed. Theo, please prepare.”
“Understood.”
She was actually going to bed at 10pm. But, of course, I was pleased as I had been waiting for Aira to go to sleep.
Okay, go to bed now.
Seureuk, seureuk-.I spread the freshly washed duvet neatly on the bed.
Made of magic fabric and snowbird feathers, it didn’t warm you up, but rather cool you down. Perfect for the summer nights.
Aira wrapped it up to her chest and yawned a few more times. She then looked atand slowly opened her lips.
“You seem to be getting along well with Lily? You leftwith her while you’re away.”
“It’s alright, we get along normally.”
“She looks rough, but she has a good heart. I think you can do as you need. You can spank her if necessary….”
Aira slowly closed her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeming quite sleepy, she soon began to breathe steadily, falling into a deep sleep.
“Good night.”
Honestly, I was a bit surprised that Aira talked about Lily. After all, she rarely praised others. Then again, this was unusual, but not the first time.
Anyway.
Taking advantage of Aira’s deep sleep, I gently brushed my palm over her face.
“… Are you asleep?”
Despite the repeated shadows of my palm falling and disappearing on her face, Aira’s expression remained remarkably serene.
She was sleeping so peacefully not knowing what the future held. I had been waiting and now she was finally asleep.
Hehe.
Smirking like a mischievous nymph, I took out an item from my inventory《Squirrel Cache》. It was moxibustion made after drying mugwort and other medicinal herbs.
That was right.
Moxibustion.
A tool placed on the body and ignited to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians.
I got this from the Black Mage Balan, and it was supposed to be incensed with ingredients that would stimulate the Ars Nova, Solomon’s great magics.
The incense was also said to be good for women’s skin, stabilizing blood circulation and menstrual cycle, and a whole lot of other things.
Seuk-.
I placed it on the bedside table next to Aira’s bed and lit it.
Normally, moxibustion would be placed on the body and then lit. But if I did that, Aira might wake up and blow my head off. So I settled with letting her inhale just the scent.
Morak, morak-.
The lit moxa slowly smoldered and emitted a faint aroma, but unlike what I expected to smell like herbal medicine, the scent was surprisingly sweet like tea.
“…….”
Flinch, twitch-.
In the meantime, Aira’s forehead and eyebrows twitched with a hint of unease.
Perhaps it was because of the unfamiliar scent. But I wasn’t too worried about it, since Aira wouldn’t wake up once she was asleep, like an animal that hibernated in winter.
“Are you sleeping?”
Still, I asked Aira again just in case. Fortunately, her twitching eyebrows soon returned to serenity, accompanied by a soft breathing.
She was completely asleep.
Aira usually had an edge over me.
But Aira was asleep, and Theo Gospel was awake.
The dynamic between us had completely reversed. It was like the relationship between a hibernating snake and a mouse.
Mice were usually victims of the snakes’ unilateral slaughter, but during winter, they would find the hibernating snakes and bite their necks.
In that sense, the current Aira was the snake.
And I was the mouse.
Jjikjjik-.
The first thing I did was remove the thin blanket that was protecting Aira’s body.
Seureureuk-.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe process was very slow and careful.
Whether it was due to the delicate touch of a fairy or Aira’s subdued response when asleep, she didn’t even flinch as the blanket got pulled down to her toes.
Before me, Aira’s body covered in a thin, white silk negligee and her long arms and legs extending beneath were revealed.
Her snowy arms and curves were smooth and perfect as if they were carved out of marble by a masterful genius, making them look sublrather than strange.
Her body was warm and soft like mochi. How did I know? Because I was touching Aira’s calf right now.
Malrang, malrang-.
“Nice.”
Aira’s calves were soft. It was hard to believe that these thin, slender legs supported such a long, model-like body.
My hand, which had been pressing on her calf, slowly went down and pressed Aira’s foot.
“Mhmm-.”
Aira suddenly made a small noise which hadstartled and retracted my hand. Why was I foolishly touching her foot as if it was natural?
Actually, what I intended to do was not to press on her calf or foot. I planned to do something bigger.
That was, to touch her lips or chest.
Seureureuk-.
Even though I had made up my mind, I felt a chilling shiver running down my spine. How dare I even think of touching her so recklessly?
It would have been unthinkable in the past. But after going through various events, I had becbolder and stronger.
With s£xual contact and stimulation, the Ars Nova would gradually surface, and I would be able to capture and absorb it.
So, what demon dwelled in Aira?
