Chapter Title: No Way I'd Like You!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"No! I clearly heard you say that liking me is something only a psycho would do."
"I'm sorry! Oh man, I must've jumped to some ridiculous conclusion! I'm really, truly sorry for making you uncomfortable with my stupid delusion, May Luina!"
[Huh? Uh, y-yeah, right! I was uncomfortable! You should be grateful for my generosity, Stay!]
"Of course, of course! Naturally! There's no way you'd ever like someone like me! Something that absurd could never happen! Absolutely not! No matter what! Even if the world ended and it was just the two of us left, it still wouldn't happen! Yeah! I know that full well! I'm really sorry. I'll apologize a thousand times for this. For real!"
[Uh...... W-well, if you get it, that's a relief...... But still, your feelings came through, so you don't need to apologize that much......]
"Hehe! When you mess up, you apologize—that's just common sense! Don't say stuff like that! I heard your firm answer loud and clear just now! You absolutely don't like me, and you never will, right?"
[Y-yeah?! I never said I'd absolutely never like you......]
"No! I clearly heard you say that liking me is something only a psycho would do. My ears are fine, and all my attention was focused on you, so I'm sure of it! You said anyone who feels love for me is basically a psycho, and I agree with that, so don't worry about it! Honestly, I'm glad! You said it so decisively, with such strong conviction—it really snapped me out of it!"
[Gyaah?! N-no, that's not it! When did I ever say the only person who could like you is a psycho......!]
"Hehe!! Nope!!!!! Anyway, you said you see me like a pet, and that only a psycho would feel love for a pet! Even if your harsh words stung a bit, taking back what you said just to spare the feelings of someone who messed up isn't right! If you show mercy again, I'll lose my mind and repeat the same mistake I just made with you!"
[I-I didn't mean it like that...... A-and honestly, when I heard that misunderstanding question you asked earlier, it didn't feel that bad—]
"Hah!!!"
[Eek?!]
"You can't do that! I messed up, and it made you mad! That's the end of it! So don't show any mercy—let me reflect properly. Got it?"
[B-but......]
Why is she suddenly dragging this out like she's overflowing with regrets and reluctance?
If I grovel like this, shouldn't her usual sky-high arrogance kick in and she'd look down on me like:
'Hmph. You should be grateful that you can reflect in one piece right now, Stay. Because I'm an S-rank Awakener, the world's number three hero, and the revered Saintess May Luina. You pissed me off, yet you're able to reflect with your body intact? How lucky is that?'
That's your role, isn't it?
[Y-you did mess up, but you're apologizing way too much compared to the offense...... Truth is, I did speak harshly earlier and acted like I was super mad, but I wasn't that angry......]
Unlike her usual broken personality, May Luina was fumbling around like she was the one who needed to make amends.
Now that I'd heard her denial straight from her mouth, all I wanted was a simple confirmation: "I'll never like you." But damn, it wasn't easy to get.
[A-and who knows what the future holds, right? I never imagined our relationship would turn out like this even a couple months ago. Back then, um, well...... I thought we were close, but only from my side? Now we're actually close, chatting like this...... So you don't have to put yourself down like that, Stay. What if...... just hypothetically? If it really was just the two of us left in the world or something. Well, I might develop a rational fondness for you......]
"Hold on!"
[Y-yes?]
A horrifying premonition hit me that something I shouldn't hear was about to spill out, so I hurriedly cut May Luina off.
Her drivel about thinking they were close only from her side back then already made me nauseous, and now she was about to spout nonsense like "fondness"? I couldn't take it.
Damn, if I let her keep talking, this could really go south. Fine, I'll give up on getting that firm confirmation.
Truth is, I'm just clinging to this because of my own greed for certainty. Even years from now, May Luina would never like me anyway.
As she said, our levels as humans are worlds apart. No normal person could feel romantic love for someone so beneath them.
May Luina might be a personality wreck on par with a psycho, but that's just her shitty attitude—not actual mental illness.
Alright, let's wrap this up. Change the subject completely so we can't circle back to it.
Casting aside my pointless lingering doubts and closing the book on this topic, I threw out a line to shift gears before she could spout more horrific nonsense.
"Time to start the treatment! You've been wanting this, right? The 'Full-Body Tight Embrace'."
[Huh? R-right now? So suddenly?]
"Yeah. Here we go."
Catching her off guard with my abrupt 'Full-Body Tight Embrace' declaration, I lifted the blanket covering her body and slid in beside her.
"First, I'll take out the pillow. Gotta give you my arm as one."
[O-oh, y-yeah......♥]
I worried for a second that changing the subject might backfire when she panicked, but as soon as I lay down next to her, her voice melted away. Looked like it was just my imagination.
Did she really wait so eagerly to melt into me like this? Is May Luina like Dain Adamas, starved for warmth? The Holy See must be one scary place.
Slide.
Shaking off those idle thoughts, I pulled out the pillow propping up May Luina's small head and slipped my arm underneath—just as I said.
Like with Dain Adamas, her head was petite and light, so supporting it would be no problem.
"Next, I'll press your chest against mine, wrap my left arm around to hold you in place, and squeeze tight. If it feels too intense, say so right away. I'll ease up."
[M-my chest against y-your chest...... then s-squeeze me tiiight...... Hah! Y-you don't have to go all out! I'm an S-rank Awakener, and you're just F-rank! Your full strength won't faze me at all!]
"......Yeah. Sure."
Even when I talk, she has to rub it in like this. Classic May Luina.
My mind was too worn down to get scratched by lines like that anymore, so I let it slide in one ear and out the other. I rolled her body sideways, pressing her voluptuous holy tanks against my chest, draped my left arm over her slender back, and—as requested—squeezed with all my might.
Squiiiish—
The sensation of her ridiculously soft, jiggly mega-tits mashing against my chest made my briefly cooled head heat right back up.
Whoa, for real.
Even through her patient gown and bra, dulling the feel a bit, May Luina's mega-tits delivered a blissful fullness and squishiness that drew out an involuntary gasp of awe.
[Eeeeek♥♥♥ So haaard♥♥♥ Your chest is insanely muscled, Stay♥♥♥ Those pecs forged lifting heavy stuff in the ER......♥♥♥ Against something like that, my soft virgin tits get flattened right awayyy♥♥♥]
......For real.
May Luina seemed totally satisfied too, anyway.
"N-next, if I wrap my left leg around your hips to lock it all in, we're done. Might be too much, so should we stop here?"
[No!!!!!!!!! Wrap your leg around too!!!!!! Hurry!!!!!!!]
"Y-yeah."
Her reaction was way more enthusiastic than I'd imagined, leaving me a bit deflated and hesitant, but my flimsy brakes couldn't stop her now that she'd tasted warmth.
The person who just said she doesn't like me—does she really want to cling this hard?
[Hurry and wrap your leg around my hips, constrict my body like a snake! Full-power squeeze!! Press chest-to-chest and crotch-to-crotch and hug me suuuper tight!!!]
......Guess these things are separate.
I wrapped my leg around her hips as her desperate plea demanded, constricting her body like a snake, and hugged her tight.
The Full-Body Tight Embrace was complete.
