Natsuhi had one arm wrapped around her slender waist, her chin gently nuzzling against her soft hair, while her other hand guided Yui to continue that sweet "feeding" task.
(Originally, the other hand wanted to stroke her thigh, but it felt like it wasn't quite the right time yet; too much of a good thing can be bad.)
"Awoo—!"
Natsuhi opened her mouth again, this time with undisguised smugness and happiness.
Yui blushed, obediently skewered another piece of yogurt-covered strawberry, and carefully brought it to her lips.
For some reason, watching Natsuhi narrow her eyes in that insufferably smug, blissful expression made Yui feel warm inside, with an inexplicable sense of joy.
[This girl is just too full of herself... How can I not even get angry at her!]
Natsuhi savored the fresh sweetness of the fruit exploding in her mouth, while feeling the warmth and softness of the girl in her arms even more profoundly.
Her breathing unconsciously became a bit heavy, and the arm holding Yui tightened, as if she wanted to knead her into her own body.
System: [How is it? I told you to just go for it and you didn't believe me. Feeling great now, aren't you?]
[It feels better than I could have imagined. You really have the best methods; I owe you one.]
System: [We're in this together, aren't we? Just tell me, does it feel good or what!]
[It feels great!!!] (In Shen Teng's voice)
System: [Your voice is so quiet, didn't you eat enough? Does it feel good or not?!]
[I'm high as a kite!!!]
"I am simply the happiest person in the world..."
Natsuhi sighed softly. Her voice sounded a bit muffled because she was buried in Yui's hair, but it was filled with genuine intoxication.
"Holding the cutest Yui in my arms, eating the breakfast Yui fed me... This feeling, I'm practically floating..."
Without the constraints of gravity, Natsuhi felt like she was about to float into outer space.
She raised her head slightly, looking at the girl in her arms with a burning gaze.
Her gaze was filled with infatuation and an intense possessiveness, as if she wanted to make Yui entirely her own.
Being stared at by that wolf-like gaze made Yui feel completely uncomfortable, and the flush that had just faded from her face came rushing back again.
Yui had nowhere to hide in her embarrassment, so she had to extend her slender index finger, press it against Natsuhi's approaching cheek, and forcefully push her head back.
"You're not allowed to look at me!"
Yui's voice carried a trembling note of shy annoyance, though it sounded more like acting spoiled.
"It's so embarrassing... Just, just eat properly!"
Poked in the face and pushed away, Natsuhi was not annoyed at all; instead, she laughed softly. She just loved seeing Yui like this; it was simply irresistible.
Natsuhi obediently leaned back slightly, but the arm wrapped around Yui did not loosen in the slightest. Yui had absolutely no way to deal with this stinky hooligan...
"Okay, okay, eating."
Even though she said that, her gaze remained glued to Yui, and the smile on her face just wouldn't fade.
"But Yui is ten thousand times better-looking than breakfast. How can you expect me to resist looking? This is truly too painful."
"Hmph, you don't look like you're suffering to me. Aren't you smiling quite happily?"
"Because holding Yui and crying are two things that are mutually exclusive."
"Idiot! If you say things like that again... I, I won't feed you anymore!"
Yui felt she couldn't hold up against Natsuhi's verbal offensive anymore. If she kept being bewitched like this, she might very well end up being completely at her mercy.
But even though she said that, the hand feeding her didn't pause in the slightest, and she delivered another delicious bite into Natsuhi's mouth.
[The time has come!]
Natsuhi gently grasped Yui's wrist as she was about to pull it back, her grip gentle but refusing to be denied.
"Yui."
"Can I... call you 'Wife'?"
In the end, she said it. She couldn't hold it in any longer.
At this moment, Yui's heart skipped a beat. The fingers that were resting naturally on Natsuhi's shoulder curled up, grabbing her clothing.
"You, you..."
She opened her mouth, but the sound got stuck in her throat. The words "Whatever you want" were almost about to burst past her shame and slip out, only to be swallowed back as she bit her lower lip hard.
[How can I just agree to a title like that... This idiot... She actually asked so directly, not giving me any room to breathe!]
She abruptly lowered her head, trying to completely hide her burning cheeks. Although her voice carried resistance, it lacked conviction because she was nestled in that warm embrace:
"No... who gave you permission to call me that... You're not allowed to..."
Although she was rejected, Natsuhi wasn't anxious at all, because she could clearly feel the slight trembling of the girl in her arms; this was Yui's last "line of defense."
"Why not?"
The voice gently scratched against Yui's eardrum, leaving her tingling all over.
"I just want to call out the most genuine feeling in my heart. I can't think of any other name for you right now."
The strength to resist was fading little by little.
"Nonsense..."
While refuting, her hand gripping the corner of Natsuhi's clothes tightened even more.
"You're too shameless..."
With the other person reacting like this, how could she not understand what it meant?
Since it was just a matter of poking through the paper window, Natsuhi naturally chose to take the initiative.
"Then..."
She turned her head, her lips almost touching her burning earlobe, and whispered:
"...Wife?"
"Ugh...!"
The heartfelt address moved Yui, and her whole body felt like it had been electrified; she didn't refute it.
[It worked?!]
Natsuhi's eyes lit up, and she excitedly shouted again,
"Wife?! Calling you that, it's okay, right..."
Yui turned her head away, hiding her expression, and Natsuhi didn't know if she had actually agreed or not.
[Was I still too impatient?]
"You can..."
A soft, sweet voice came from her arms. Although it was very quiet, Natsuhi definitely didn't mishear. That Yui, who dared not face her directly, had actually agreed?!
!!!!
Her brain was clouded with joy; it felt like sweet rain after a long drought. Natsuhi, regardless of anything else, launched an offensive,
Super happy!!!
"Wife! Wife! Wife! Wife! Wife! Wife—!"
Just like a toy that had been wound up, completely ignoring Yui's embarrassment, she buried her face in the crook of her neck,
over and over again, tirelessly, with a trembling tail in her voice, repeatedly calling out this intimate title that had just been permitted.
Feeling Natsuhi's heavy, hot breath, her intense heartbeat, and that joy that was about to overflow, it wrapped tightly around Yui like a warm wave.
"I... I heard you."
"Ugh... Don't, don't call me that anymore..."
Feeling like she had been evaporated by the other's passion, Yui tried to cover Natsuhi's mouth with her hand, but her wrist was easily caught by Natsuhi, who kissed her palm.
The fleeting, smooth, tender touch on her hand made her recoil as if electrocuted. She was so embarrassed she almost curled up, burying her face in Natsuhi's chest, letting the softness wrap around her.
"You're terrible... Natsuhi is an H-demon king."
Such a cute address made Natsuhi unable to bear it, and thoughts of taking things a step further naturally surfaced in her mind...
System: [What are you waiting for? Strike while the iron is hot. If you want something, just say it boldly!]
[System Prompt: Detected that the host's thinking is sliding toward a dangerous edge! After careful analysis and deliberation, this system provides the following three strategic proposals. Please make a choice within 10 seconds, otherwise [Pure Love's Heavenly Punishment] will be triggered!]
Option 1: [Say to the girl: "Wife, can you keep me company properly tonight."] (Calm declarative sentence)
Option 2: [Say to the girl: "Wife, can you keep me company properly tonight?"] (Gentle interrogative sentence)
Option 3: [Say to the girl: "Wife, can you keep me company properly tonight!!!"] (Passionate exclamatory sentence)
(Those who know, know how to keep company; for those who don't, it's not appropriate for me to elaborate in detail...)
Looking at the three options in front of her that were identical except for the punctuation marks, Natsuhi's eye twitched violently.
[The hell is this even a choice?! System, you're just messing with me!]
