Chapter 139: Stevie is Asleep

"Should I come tonight?"

The old man answered,

"Well, tomorrow night would be fine. If it suits you, come. We’ll do it in the rain. Rain is more convenient. Come around the same time as tonight. Please take care of me."

"Understood. Then, may I bring one more person?"

Of course I planned to bring Stevie too.

"Ah, that’s fine. Bring as many able-bodied people as you like. Could they be women? That maid seems to have good skills too. She was excellent with the bow and arrows last time, so I suppose she can use a sword. If that’s the case, there will be no problem. Oh, in that case I’ll need to prepare gifts for three people, heh heh heh."

The old man was laughing, but the men behind him looked displeased. They were probably thinking that I and Lily would only be dead weight. They hadn’t seen me and Lily fighting (they were busy fighting themselves and didn’t have time to watch), so when they heard that one more was coming, they probably thought, Are you really bringing someone else?

Anyway, I was allowed to leave.

On the way back, Lily said,

"They said it would rain tomorrow. That’s why I came today, but tomorrow will be terrible. If we’re jumping into a thief hideout at night, how will we tell friend from foe in the pitch-black darkness?"

"I don’t know, but since the old man said that much, he probably has some plan in mind. We’re just support, right? The old man knows I’m here, so he won’t send us into danger."

"Normally that’s how it goes. But, Lord Robby, do you know? They say raising a flag is bad luck. Someone who came from another world said that."

"I see. I’ll be careful."

Ugh, I learned something unexpected.

When I returned to the room, no one was sitting on the chair. There was a bulge under the blanket. The thin blue hair sticking out told me it was Stevie. I thought she would be asleep on my bed even without being told.

I changed clothes and slipped into bed. Stevie was sleeping soundly, breathing suu suu. I got in, but she didn’t stir.

I poked her cheek. Finyu. She smiled in her sleep. How cute is this! I brushed the hair that had fallen on her face, and eyebrows appeared. The thin blue eyebrows were strange. When I lit a lamp with my finger, I could see that even her eyelashes were thin blue. What a beautiful color. Stevie probably wouldn’t show it off even if she was awake. Her skin is white, so the thin blue hair matches her perfectly.

I brushed the hair that had fallen on her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. The thin earlobe appeared. The lamp light showed the fine hairs on it. Of course her ear fuzz was transparent.

Just looking at Stevie made me feel calm, but my lower body was throbbing thanks to the pheromones I had inhaled from her.

I gently pinched her cheek and kissed it, but of course she didn’t react. Her hand came up and scratched my cheek with her fingers from above.

I unbuttoned her pajamas. She wasn’t wearing a bra-like obstruction; her nipples were visible through the fabric. There was no bulge, and on her gently rounded chest was a small, calm nipple. I unbuttoned the rest of the pajamas. Her breasts were slightly pulled downward by gravity.

I placed my hand on her chest, pinched her nipple between my fingers. It wasn’t hard yet. Will these breasts develop and become worth squeezing one day? I rolled her nipples gently with my fingers. They slowly began to harden.

"Hmm..."

Stevie squirmed as if ticklish. I pulled my hand away in surprise. Wait, I can wake her up, right? Why am I holding back? I only just realized that. Even if Stevie is asleep, it doesn’t matter. At last I’ve come to my senses.

"Stevie."

I finally decided to wake her. After all, it was night duty, so she shouldn’t be sleeping all night.

"Hmm... it’s still midnight~"

Her awareness was slowly returning.

"Stevie, it’s me."

"Finyu... Lord Robby~ I love you~"

She was half-asleep.

"Stevie, it’s night duty. Wake up and do your job."

"Eh? What? Who? Who woke me up?"

She was still half-asleep.

"Stevie."

I pinched her nose and kissed her. Her mouth was slightly open. When I covered her mouth, she made muffled sounds and tried to breathe for a while. Since I was blocking her mouth, she couldn’t breathe and finally opened her eyes.

"Puh!"

She opened her eyes wide, pushed me away, and shouted,

"R-R-Robbie-sama! Why are you here?!"

"Stevie, this is my room. And this bed is mine. It’s night duty, right? Why are you sleeping in my bed?"

"Huh? N-Nani?"

"What are you saying?"

"Aaaaa, that’s right! This is Lord Robby’s room! I was waiting for Lord Robby, but you never came back, and the bed called to me, so I just... climbed in. Because I had no choice... I had no choice... I endured... but it was so hard... I was pulled in... It’s not my fault... please forgive me..."

She gave a completely meaningless excuse. At least she had woken up.

I leaned close, and Stevie leaned close too and kissed me. She gave me a peck-like kiss. I wondered, Is she acting like a child? But remembering how she had acted when she was with her brother, it wasn’t surprising that she was still undeveloped.
