Chapter 16

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Received a large shock. Tracing with hypnotism. Return to places of memory. Struck by lightning. Lose a loved one before the eyes.

Search around in various stories for any hints. Overall, it was all unimpressive. Especially the last one was the worst. Lily isn’t dying.

Ingenious ideas weren’t coming, causing Lily’s habit of becoming hungry after using her head too much to show. Her stomach rumbled out loud.

「…I’m hungry.」

「That’s right, it’s almost time for dinner, so let’s eat. What do you want?」

「Tenpura!」

「Lily really likes tempura, huh. I understand, I’ll make it soon, so just wait a bit.」

Putting an end to their flirting, Lapis stood for the kitchen.

In the beginning, it took quite a bit of time to make, but because Lily requested it numerous times, Lapis became able to make it in half the time. It was the karma of love.

Shrimp, squid, fish, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, a fish called Chikuwa mashed together, and onions and carrots shredded. Everything was lined up on the dining table.

「「Thank you for the meal.」」

After they said the phrase that already began to stick, they began eating. Since she had been practicing, Lily picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks.

「Ah, delicious. For my entire life, I want to eat what Lapis makes.」

「Heavy, love is heavy.」

「Fufu, though I was being half serious.」

「But, every time we go on a date, you don’t want just a bento, right? I want to go to a fancy restaurant and have dinner there.」

「That’s also true.」

They harmoniously continued eating. Finally, the tops of their plates became clean like the sky.

「Fuu. That was delicious, thank you for the meal.」

「You’re very welcome.」

While Lapis took care of tidying up the dishes, Lily began to prepare the bath. The familiarity between their actions made it seem like they were a married couple for a long time.

Incidentally, when Lapis was first picked up, Lily’s hut was compact and didn’t have a shower room.

However, recently, Lily had become extremely influenced by the eastern island country, creating a cypress bathtub and expanding the wash area.

This country doesn’t have the culture of submerging oneself in hot water, but around when they met, they completely came to like bathing.

「Lapis, the water is ready.」

「Okay, I’ll go soon.」

Because Lily used magic to fill the bathtub with hot water, it only took a second.

In that short amount of time, Lapis had finished washing the dishes and headed off to where her lover was waiting with a change of clothes.

「Even though it was embarrassing at first」

「Lily as well, when we were first getting to know each other, you were also shy.」

While lightly criticizing each other, their clothes were put into the clothes washing magic device.

Mutually stripping down to not even a thread, they opened the door to the bathroom.

Emulating the eastern island country, first was washing down the body. In order to be able to fully relax in the bath water, the idea was to rid the body and hair of any dirt. Lapis and Lily agreed very much.

Washing off the soap bubbles, when Lapis saw her own body, she had a sudden thought.

「H~m… it’s not growing…」

She tilted her neck as she looked at her section and muttered.

At her own age, it should be there, but it was completely smooth. It wasn’t just that. On her hand, legs, and especially her face, there were no unwanted hairs growing.

Lapis was thinking that it might be some disease, but as expected, it would be embarrassing to ask her lover, Lily, for consultation about it.

However, it seemed that Lapis’s murmurs were overheard by Lily, who was directly next to her.

「What? Worried about unwanted hairs?」

「Huh? Ah, yeah. Something like that, I guess.」

Lapis vaguely agreed.

「Don’t worry about it. Everyday, I’m applying physique correction magic.」

「Eh!? What’s that!? That’s the first I’ve hear that!」

「Is that so? Well, anyway, you don’t need to worry about it.」

While dampening her hair that extends down to her knees, Lily spoke indifferently.

Lapis heaved a sigh. Then, she stood up, went behind Lily, and began to help wash her hair.

「Thank you.」

「Nn. But I kind of wish that you said something about the magic. I was worried that I had some weird disease.」

「Sorry. However, I want my lover to always have a pretty body, those were the kinds of feelings that I’d like you to understand.」

「…okay.」

Because she fully understood Lily’s feelings and her consideration made Lapis extremely happy, she couldn’t find the words to say anything. The problem about it not growing was embarrassing, but for Lily’s sake, Lapis endured it.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Lapis began to wash Lily’s hair with more intensity than before. Lily let out a 「Nn, ah–…」 in a slovenly voice.

Lapis washed her long, golden hair and rinsing it, then, they alternated.

Lily ran her fingers through Lapis’s soft, shoulder length bluish-silver hair.

「Nyau~…」

「Hah… Lapis, you’re too cute♪Can I hug you?」

「…if you hug me now, I’ll have a nosebleed and faint.」

「That’s true, you do have a track record after all…」

「Mu. It’s Lily’s fault, for kissing me on the cheek to wake me up, of course I’d turn red and faint.」

「D, don’t say that…」

Having finished washing Lapis’s hair, the two of them put up their hair and submerged in the bathtub.

Time calmly flowed by.

Although they weren’t touching, they both were experiencing bliss.

They both left the bath and changed into sleeping pajamas. Lily used magic to dry their wet hair.

「It’s useful, that.」

「It’s magic’s true worth, huh.」

That’s definitely wrong, so Lapis thought, but because it wasn’t wrong that it was useful, she stayed silent.

Side-by-side, they entered the bed.

This, as well, used to be embarrassing, but now, they were just like a middle-aged couple.

While snuggling together and gazing at each other, they exchanged a 「Good night」, then they’d go to sleep like what is their habit, but today was a little different.

「…in the end, we ended up neglecting to look for a way to return my memories.」

「That’s true, but, I have a feeling that we’ll find a clue soon.」

「…that meaning?」

「If Lapis is really a noble, then there should be a dispatched party, right? In this forest, there are many dangerous monsters and Rin-chan— the behemoth is also here, in these two months, it wouldn’t be strange for the search to reach this area.」

「That time is soon?」

「Right. Once they come a bit closer, Rin-chan or I’ll notice.」

「Is that so? Well, first, we’ll just have to wait. If our guess is off, we can just think of some other means.」

「That’s fine.」

Lily hugged Lapis much stronger.

There, Lapis remembered an important thing.

「Hey, Lily. If my memories are gone— or if I can’t remember my full name, we can’t get married, right?」

「? Yeah, that’s right.」

「Then, if my memories return, Lily will take me as her bride?」

「Y-your directness is making me embarrassed. Yeah, that’s also right. Honestly, I want to marry you right now.」

「Ehehe♡ Then, this is the main question, basically Lily and I are mutually fiancés, right?」

「! That’s right! That’s true! …Fufu, fiancés?」

「In that case—」

Suddenly, Lapis brought her face close to Lily’s, overlapping her lips with Lily’s.

—Exchanging body heat for a complete 10 seconds, Lapis then separated.

To the dumbfounded Lily, Lapis gave a mischievous and slightly lewd smile.

「—That means the ban on this stuff is off, right?」

「…」

「…I love you, Lily.」

「…Me too, I love you, Lapis.」

Again, the distance between the two of them shortened— eventually becoming zero.
