Chapter 63: Wild Change (6)

Thump, thump, thump

- ‘Young man, you’ve got a letter. Open the door.’

Starchis, who was meditating to feel the mana, opened his eyes at the knocking sound.

He quickly walked to the door and opened it to find the innkeeper holding an envelope.

“Who is it from?”

“You take a look. I haven’t seen anything.”

“Thank you, ma’am.”

“Oh, no need to thank me... young man?”

“Yes?”

The innkeeper couldn’t meet Starchis’ eyes, as if she had done something wrong. Seeing her like that, he asked,

“...Is there something you want to say?”

“Well... here.”

The innkeeper grabbed Starchis’ hand and handed him a few coins.

“Huh? Ma’am, what’s this?”

“Thinking it over, remember the tip you gave before? I realized I didn’t need to keep it... Anyway, that’s all! I’m returning it, young man!”

Handing over the coins, the innkeeper hurriedly went down the stairs. There were several things bothering her.

One thing that particularly weighed on her conscience was opening his door when a beautiful woman named Luss came looking for him.

Although no big trouble seemed to have come from it, her conscience still pricked at her.

Starchis, puzzled by the hurried innkeeper, checked the letter in his hand. Turning it over, he saw the name ‘Stion’ written on the back.

“It’s from my brother?”

He muttered to himself as he closed the door.

Starchis opened the letter.

---------------------------------------

Starchis, if you have time today, come see me. I have something to tell you.

And about Rose Nisti, is it true?

Explain in detail when we meet.

---------------------------------------

It was a simple request and a reply to the letter Starchis had sent.

Starchis’ only plan for today was to visit Lily and rehabilitation.

He felt guilty about breaking his previous promise to have a meal alone with Lily, and he intended to make it up today. But now, he thought it might have to be postponed a little longer.

****

“...Huff... Huff...!”

“...L-Lily Noona?”

“Yes... yes?”

“Are you tired?”

“Oh, no? Why are you asking that?”

“Well... your breathing is so rough.”

Starchis and Lily were in the midst of rehabilitation. Lily was once again interlocking fingers with him, helping to move the mana within his body.

Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t help but breathe heavily.

Lily, unintentionally making such embarrassing sounds, felt flustered.

She covered her face with one hand but didn’t let go of Starchis’ hand.

“Ahem..! No, really. Let’s keep going.”

“...Let’s take a break, Noona. I’m worried about you.”

“...I’m really fine...”

Starchis unlinked their fingers. Lily let out a quiet, disappointed sigh.

Starchis wiped the sweat from his hand on his pants.

Lily, secretly bringing that hand close to her nose, pretended to think while sniffing it.

Taking in the mixed scent of sweat, she asked him,

“...Starchis, didn’t you feel anything?”

“...Nothing.”

“Starchis, you can’t be impatient. Try to stay relaxed.”

“I’m trying... Ha... Last time, I could feel the mana, but not today. Why is that?”

Lily didn’t know either. She was doing her best.

Even though these moments might disappear if his hand healed, watching Starchis become disheartened and struggle was harder for her.

She was doing everything she could to help him, even reaching out to her old master for assistance.

“...Just try to relax a little more.”

But even as she said this, a small voice inside whispered to Lily,

‘Go for more intense contact...’

Gulp.

Lily swallowed. Her master’s letter had mentioned this.

To increase the area of contact while helping.

The letter suggested that moving the mana through more intimate touch would be more effective.

Starchis had felt more comfortable when she intertwined their fingers and stirred the mana than when she merely touched the back of his hand.

Lily looked over Starchis’ body.

Maybe it was because she had liked him for so long that he had become her ideal type.

His legs, his arms, his height, his scent, his expressions... Everything was hard to resist.

There would never be a better opportunity.

She had the perfect excuse.

Lily clenched her lips once, steeling herself, and spoke with a resolute face, like a Noona, maturely.

“...It’s not working, Starchis. Why don’t you lie down on that bed for a moment?”

Starchis blinked his eyes.

“...What?”

“You heard me. Lie down for a moment.”

It was an absurd request, but seeing Lily’s resolute expression as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Starchis got up and went to Lily’s bed, lying down gently.

There was a trust that emanated from her determined expression.

It was the kind of feeling that made you follow even the most nonsensical advice when a professional suggested it.

Lily felt a dark pleasure, a sense of forbidden delight.

He wouldn’t know. He wouldn’t know that the spot he lay on was where she had consoled herself countless nights thinking of him.

The heart-pounding thrill of having her beloved lie in her bed wasn’t something that happened easily.

As she dazed out for a moment, Starchis awkwardly spoke up.

“...Noona? I’m lying down.”

“Yes, just a moment?”

Lily was startled by his voice that broke her dark reverie but didn’t show it.

It was time to muster courage.

Lily approached Starchis, unbuttoning the front of her dress. The cleavage created by her ample chest became visible.

Startled, Starchis sat up abruptly.

“Noona, what are you doing?”

But Lily pushed the rising Starchis back onto the bed. Her heart felt like it was going to burst, but she continued to act maturely.

“It’s for treatment.”

She wondered if he could hear her heart pounding. She didn’t want to stop.

Her lower body kept tingling.

Gently, like a snail, she rubbed against him, climbing onto his body.

She nestled her head against his chest like a cat, and wrapped her leg tighter around him, mounting him more fully.

Starchis, though initially resistant, found himself getting lost in the sensation of mana.

The physical closeness, while distracting, was proving effective.

Lily, feeling his heart and body responding, whispered,

“See? This is working...”

Starchis, feeling the genuine progress in his hand, nodded slightly, allowing himself to fully embrace the method, despite the unconventional means.

Slowly, ever so slowly, their navels touched.

Lily, regaining her senses, found herself atop his sturdy body. Instinctively, she rubbed her chest against his.

Starchis, deeply focused, seemed oblivious to everything around him.

“Huff..! Haa..!”

‘No.’

Lily told herself. She felt as if she might start moving her hips on top of him.

This was a scenario she had dreamed and fantasized about countless times on this very bed.

Imagining herself on top of him, exploring him.

The only thing different was that they still had their clothes on.

At that moment, his scent filled her nose.

‘Ah.’

For a moment, she lost control. Her hips lifted slightly, and as she prepared to bring them back down...

“Urgh..!”

Starchis raised himself, pushing Lily off. He clutched his heart.

Lily rolled off him, but Starchis still felt the flow of mana.

The brief sharp pain subsided.

But he could still clearly feel the flow of mana.

“...Noona... I can feel the mana.”

His hand was still immobile, but Starchis looked at his body in disbelief. A joyful laugh escaped him.

“I can feel the mana, Noona..!”

“Huff..! Huff..!”

Lily, catching her breath, quickly gathered herself and looked at Starchis.

She had almost done something highly inappropriate. His scent was always a dangerous trigger for her.

“That’s... great..!”

Though embarrassed by her actions, Lily was just as elated. There was now real hope.

“But my hand still doesn’t move.”

“Feeling it is the first step, Starchis. You’re halfway there. The next step is to try moving the mana yourself.”

“Haha... I can’t believe this method actually works...!”

“I never lie. Shall we try a little more?”

Lily swallowed hard. She didn’t want to stop.

Starchis, overjoyed, looked out the window. The evening was approaching.

He remembered the letter from his brother that he had received in the morning.

“...No, Noona. This much progress is already a big achievement. I have an appointment now.”

“...Elza?”

“No. I’m meeting my brother.”

“Oh, right..? ...Well, it would be good to continue while you still have the flow going...”

“Now that I know the method, we can try again next time.”

“Next time? Yes! Yes..! Sure. We can do it again next time.”

Lily was satisfied with the thought of doing it again, even though she wanted to continue now.

And besides, it had become harder for her to control herself. Letting him go didn’t seem so bad after all.

.

.

.

.

As quickly as he had arrived, Starchis left Lily behind and departed.

Once he was gone, Lily hastily discarded her clothes.

“Liar...”

She was drenched, feeling as if she had committed an indiscretion.

But Lily didn’t dwell on it long. She used her mana.

...A figure began to form in front of her.

Having infused Starchis’ body with mana, she had perfectly understood his physique.

So, she couldn’t help but be aroused.

A suggestively protruding pillar formed on the bed.

It was a replica of his penis.

“Ahh..!”

Unable to hold back any longer, Lily climbed onto the bed.

The cold model touched her vagina.

It was disappointing that it wasn’t warm, but she had no choice.

...Her hymen had been broken during horseback riding practice.

Back when she met the Tigerwolves, her inability to ride a horse had become a regret, so she had practiced diligently.

Thus, she felt less resistance to her actions now.

Lily closed her eyes and imagined Starchis.

She recalled the sensations she felt when she had climbed on top of him.

The strong beat of his heart.

The warmth of his chest.

The reassuring strength of his arms...

Lily lifted her hips.

Then, she positioned herself over the model that perfectly replicated him.

Trembling, she hovered above it before letting herself go.

-Squish..!

“Ahhh!”

The model entered deeply into her with the force of her weight.

Lily’s body shook.

Collapsing into a position identical to when she was on top of Starchis, she lay down.

And then, like a beast, she began to move her hips.

Alone, she uttered the vulgar but desired words she had always wanted to say.

“Mine..! You’re mine..!”

For a while, the sounds echoed from her room.

Thump, thump, thump.
