Chapter 674: Daily Life
The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, wrapped in a pleasant softness.
The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was a wave of silver filling my vision.
Brushing aside the silken hair, I smiled faintly and lifted my head to see the face of the person lying on top of me…
“Gah?!”
“Mmm!”
Still half-asleep, I saw the stunningly beautiful, silver-haired woman sleeping on top of me and reflexively flinched, my body going rigid.
Wh-who is this?! Huh? A mature woman? With silver hair? Why isn’t it Diana… Ah, ahh! Diana! Right. That’s right. Come to think of it, we did it just like this last night.
Diana, who had come here in her polymorphed state and continued making love with me, had been so intensely aroused that she’d lost her senses and hadn’t even thought to undo the polymorph all night.
And since she was connected to me the whole time, she never ran out of mana, which meant she ended up falling asleep just like this.
Phew. That really startled me.
I mean, she’s never stayed in this form until the morning.
Besides, I was still half-asleep.
In the less than a second it took me to realize this woman was Diana, I seriously wondered if I’d lost my mind last night and cheated on her.
Thanks to that, my back was instantly drenched in a cold sweat.
And because I’d flinched so hard in surprise, a sweet moan escaped Diana’s lips.
As usual, Diana wasn’t just lying on top of me; we were still joined together.
When I flinched, my ‘thing’ must have shifted slightly inside her.
“Mmm… mmm… My love…?”
It must have brushed against a rather sensitive spot, because Diana didn’t just moan—she woke up completely.
“Ah, sorry. Did I wake you?”
I apologized, feeling guilty for waking her from a deep sleep while my mind raced, desperately trying to figure out how I was going to handle the inevitable explosion of anger.
“Mmm? Hehe. It’s okay… Mmm… hmm.”
But contrary to my expectations, Diana gave a cute little laugh that didn’t quite match her mature appearance and leaned in to kiss me.
Of course, I was too stunned to properly return the kiss.
What? Why isn’t she angry?
Ah, don’t tell me… is it like that time with Vanessa, where she got so worked up that she lost her memory of it?
Or maybe, when you get down to it, the cause of last night’s events was her refusing my physical affection all this time, so she thinks she’s also at fault and is just trying to let it go?
Either way, if she was willing to just let it slide, it would be a huge relief for me.
“Hmm?”
Just as I came to that conclusion and, relieved, was about to finally return her kiss, Diana had a strange reaction.
Lightly biting my lower lip, she tilted her head and frowned, then slowly pulled back, releasing me. She lowered her head and looked down.
Specifically, at the spot where her ample breasts were pressed against my chest.
After staring at her chest, she slowly sat up, and as if she couldn't believe her eyes, she slowly raised a hand and grasped her own breast.
“Ahn.”
Diana squeezed her bountiful breast—so large it couldn’t fit in one hand—quite firmly and let out a soft, nasal moan.
Is she getting off on touching herself? Is she trying to provoke me? Damn, that’s sexy.
A peerless beauty on top of me, caressing her own breasts, letting out sweet moans as her muscles clenched tightly around me.
At the indescribably fantastic sight, I felt my lust surging again, even though I’d gone at it so many times last night with a Diana who had completely lost her senses.
But it seemed Diana wasn’t caressing her breast to arouse me.
Having confirmed the size of her breasts not just with her eyes but with her hands, Diana slowly raised her gaze to look me straight in the eye.
Her pupils were darting back and forth rapidly, as if she were in a state of panic.
And it wasn't just her eyes; her jaw was trembling, too.
“Y-y-y-you…! Th-this body… yesterday! Hah! Wh-where…!”
Diana, who had been about to ask me something, finally seemed to notice something was off and quickly looked around the room.
And when she turned her gaze back to me, her face was bright red all the way to the tips of her ears, and she looked like she was on the verge of tears.
“Wh-why am I here?!”
Oops. So she really didn’t remember after all.
It seemed her fear from not understanding the situation was greater than her anger, as Diana didn’t show any signs of exploding just yet.
“…First, let me check. What’s the last thing you remember?”
“I-I left the room with you… and… L-Leia! I met Leia…!”
She remembered meeting Leia, but whether she couldn't recall what happened after or was simply too embarrassed to continue—remembering how she'd climaxed several times in front of Leia—she fell silent.
“Hey. Just so you know, Leia didn’t see anything.”
“Leia didn’t…?”
I said it like an excuse, but even in her half-panicked state, Diana seemed to have noticed the loophole in my words.
“Ah, no. Of course, no one else did either…!”
“Uwaaaah! What are you going to do about this! What am I supposed to do! How am I… How am I ever supposed to show my face in public again!”
Before I could even make an excuse, Diana, who had been trembling and gathering her energy, raised both hands and slammed her fists down on my chest with all her might.
Of course, while her motion deserved a BAM! sound effect, the actual sound and impact were more like a soft thump.
Honestly, I barely felt the impact on my chest. The bigger shock was her breasts, which jiggled dramatically when she brought her fists down… Ah, no. That’s not what’s important right now.
“Owww… Hoo… hoo…. What am I going to do! What are you going to do about this!”
It seemed hitting me had hurt her own hands quite a bit, because she blew on her fists with a pained expression and glared at me.
Then, as if adjusting her strength so her fists wouldn't hurt this time, she started patting my chest, much more gently than before.
It’s a secret that, once again, the jiggling-breast-attack caused by her arm movements was far more effective.
“I’m telling you, no one saw us. I’m serious. Okay? Calm down.”
If this kept up, I was just going to end up staring at her breasts, which was completely inappropriate for the situation, so I sat up and pulled her into a tight hug.
“How can you expect me to be calm! If anyone saw us, I… I…!”
But my attempt to comfort her didn't seem to be working at all, as she kept trembling.
And at the same time, the soft pressure around my ‘thing’ grew stronger.
…Huh? Come to think of it, she seems to be getting a little wetter, too.
Without thinking, I gave a single thrust, wanting to check the wetness at our point of connection.
“Hyaah! Wh-what do you think you’re doing at a time like this! Can you really think about that in this situation! I-I’m angry right now!”
And at my action, Diana, naturally, got incredibly angry.
No, but you’re getting soaked right now. Are you getting turned on by the thought that someone might have seen us?
Of course, I would never say such a thing out loud.
“Ah, no. Sorry. I moved without thinking. Anyway, Diana. Really, no one saw us. So calm down. If you’re that suspicious, you can just check Leia’s reaction at the dining hall later. She really didn’t notice what state you were in, I promise. The only reason we came to my room was because we got too excited before we even finished our walk around the mansion, so we just cut it short and came to my room since it was close.”
To be honest, I couldn’t guarantee that no one had seen us.
I didn’t think the maid we ran into last night saw anything, but she did go to get Vanessa.
She might have run into other maids and brought them along, or she might have actually brought Vanessa back to investigate the truth of the matter.
But for now, I lied to reassure Diana.
Whether it was the maid or Vanessa who saw, I’ll have to do some damage control later.
“Th-there’s no way I would get excited over something like that!”
But it seemed that my words about us “getting too excited” bothered Diana more than the possibility of someone seeing us.
Hey, Archmage. I know you’re sensitive about being an exhibitionist, but isn’t this an overreaction? Let’s focus on the fact that someone might have seen us for now.
“Right. Sorry. The truth is, I was the one who got too excited and forced us to stop midway. I was planning on doing a full lap, but as we were walking, I saw how beautiful you were and just couldn’t hold back.”
The moment I said that, Diana’s lips, which had been pressed into an angry pout, finally softened.
To think she’d smile so happily at something like this. She’s such an easy one.
Well, she’s only easy for me. What an adorable girl.
“D-don’t think you can win me over with words like that!”
Of course, Diana’s silly grin only lasted for a moment.
She quickly put on a deliberately angry expression again and shouted sullenly.
“Diana. I love you.”
I pulled her body tight against mine and kissed her on the lips.
“I told you, I won’t be swayed by… Mmph!”
“I love you.”
“You’re just trying to gloss this over… Nngh!”
“I love you.”
“I… I’m…”
“I love you.”
“……”
And after that back-and-forth repeated several times, Diana finally fell silent.
Perhaps her pride wouldn’t let her just give in, as she gave my chest one last, light tap.
“…If anyone saw us, you’d better take care of it.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
I gave her one last, light kiss on the lips and looked her straight in the eyes.
“…What is it?”
“How about you change back to your original form now?”
“Hmm? Ah, r-right.”
Only after I said that did Diana seem to realize, finally undoing her polymorph spell.
And the moment Diana’s polymorph spell was released, I immediately began to move my hips.
“Hahn! Wh-hngh! A-are you trying to…?”
Well, you just got turned on thinking someone might have seen us. If we go to eat now without doing anything, you’ll just be left awkwardly frustrated, won’t you?
Hiding my true thoughts, I instead said something I knew Diana would like to hear.
“After all, we didn’t get to do it with you in this form last night.”
Well, it wasn’t a lie.
The mature version of Diana is great, but of course, I love her original form, too. Just as I was startled seeing her mature version when I was half-asleep, this original form is what I’m more used to.
“Hnngh! Th-that’s… Ahn! Just because you say that, it doesn’t mean I’ll…!”
And since my answer was exactly what she wanted to hear, Diana spoke with the corners of her lips curling into that silly smile again.
This time, however, perhaps because of the pleasure, she couldn't even manage to compose her expression like before.
And so, we ended up enjoying another vigorous round first thing in the morning.
Right up until Vanessa came to call for us, as usual.
“…Good morning.”
If anyone had found out what we did last night, the most likely person was Vanessa.
So I was incredibly tense right up to the moment we finished getting ready and opened the door, but thankfully, Vanessa was as perfectly expressionless as ever.
It was a perfect poker face, even to my eyes, which had recently become able to discern her subtlest expressions, so I was finally able to relax a little.
Honestly, since we hadn’t cleaned up Diana’s fluids, I thought there was a high chance we’d been caught, but it seems we got away with it.
Maybe a maid was cleaning in the dark of night and just wiped it up without noticing?
“…Ah, uhm. Did you sleep well, too?”
But for some reason, Diana couldn’t look Vanessa straight in the eye and greeted her awkwardly.
Does Diana also think that if anyone found out, it would most likely be Vanessa? Or does she have some other suspicion?
“Yes. …Lady Diana? Is something the matter?”
But Vanessa seemed to find Diana’s reaction strange, frowning slightly as she asked.
“N-no! Nothing’s wrong! Ahem! Let’s go!”
If Vanessa knew about last night, she would never act like this.
It seems I wasn’t the only one who thought so, because Diana’s expression became one of visible relief as she spoke with an almost excessive amount of energy.
“Yes. I will show you the way, then.”
