Chapter 11

Since we're planning on leaving tomorrow, Eria-sama suggested we sleep early. However, after seeing her alluring figure in the bath not too long ago, I simply couldn't calm myself down. It was difficult for me to empty my thoughts and fall asleep.

I'm not entirely sure if Eria-sama was simply teasing me, or if she was a natural airhead. After having her invite me in the bath like it's the natural thing to do, I'm starting to believe the latter. When she said she was covering herself up too, she did it with such a thin piece of cloth that she hid almost nothing with it. It was hard to talk to her when I can see a glimpse of her pink nipples peaking through the almost transparent cloth on her skin. I could barely maintain my composure, so I acted a bit shameful. I turn red in embarrassment just thinking about it.

"No, she said it was normal in her hometown to bathe with the opposite sex. Maybe it really was just a friendly gesture from her...?"

I tried to convince myself that Eria-sama was smart enough to know the difficulties I'm having when she acts so unreserved. However, as soon as I form any comprehesive thoughts, my mind wonders off to the scene of her in the bath again. Oh, and the sight of her plump breasts slightly floating on the warm water was easy to set my mind into a state of utter chaos.

"Ugh..." I groaned, slapping my forehead with the palm of my hand to attempt to get rid of any indecent thoughts.

In the end, I left my bed and went to breathe in the fresh air outside. Even the faintest scent of Eria-sama in the room started to intoxicate me.

Outside, I sat on a nearby log to relax. Our lodging was built on higher ground, so I can see a decent view of the village. It does not look obvious at daytime, but the village houses were a little separated apart from each other. There is a considerable distance between them, unlike in towns and cities where people's homes were compact and tightly connected. I do not mind the inconvenience of this small village for now, since it's my first time experiencing it. It's enjoyable to learn and experience things you usually wouldn't be able to. With that said, if it wasn't for Eria-sama, I wouldn't really ever bother myself to go to a place like this.

Thinking about it, I always get flustered by Eria-sama. I rarely keep my usual composure when I'm around her. Even the most gorgeous women in the academy doesn't budge me a little when they pose for affection, perhaps because in contrast to her, they look like little girls.

That's right, I haven't really seen anyone who has the same size of breasts as Eria-sama. Those were truly the stuff of legend. I think I wouldn't be attracted to anyone who was any less than her in size.

"Mrrm!" again, I hit my forehead to prevent my thoughts from going into any weird direction.

"What are you doing out here, Fin?"

"E-Eria-sama!?"

"Shh! You'll wake up the villagers," Eria-sama appeared out of nowhere and gestured a finger on her lips, obviously telling me to quiet down.

"What... What are you doing here, Eria-sama?" I asked in a whisper.

"Why? I Can't be outside this late at night or something?"

As usual, she seems so carefree. You wouldn't really think of her as someone so powerful. She acts more like a tomboy-ish friend, who happens to have so much charm it may as well put a goddess to shame.

My heart skipped a bit when I stared at her under the gleam of the moon. Then I noticed it... Eria-sama was not wearing her bra at all, and the shape of her nipples were poking through the fabric of her shirt. I turned my head away as I pretend I didn't notice, but it seems that Eria-sama has already realized I did and a smug look appeared on her face.

"Aren't you already too old to be acting that way?" she teasingly said.

I couldn't say anything in return, so I remained quiet. I know that she was simply teasing me, but It's just as she said, I'm already an adult and I shouldn't be acting so embarrased, and yet...

"If you wanted it, you could probably get the attention of any girl you like. They definitely would have a hard time refusing you since you're a noble boy," Eria-sama mutters on as she sat close to me on the log, "But more than that, you're pretty good-looking, so there's even less of a reason for them to turn you down."

I felt embarrassed by the sudden compliment, but even more so, I felt anxious of Eria-sama who was drifting closer. At the distance she remained, I can see the full view of her breasts. I felt ashamed as I couldn't control my lust anymore and stiffened up.

"Fufu... You're making quite a tent right there," Eria-sama laughs with a playful smile. Then I saw the moon reflecting on her eyes as she continues, "Say? Didn't I promise you a reward?"
