A Misguided Gift

"Mhm…" Ramiel murmured with satisfaction, his voice hoarse as it often was after waking up in the morning. At the same time, he clenched his left hand, which instantly sank into something firm and springy.

This was one of the best things he could experience first thing in the morning, especially since his right hand soon followed suit. Moments later, the former hunter's sense of touch was flooded with similar, if not superior, sensations.

"Truly a paradise on earth… Maybe I really complain too much about life in the dungeon?"

Involuntarily, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, forming a modest but cheeky smile, radiating pure happiness.

It could be safely said that he was on cloud nine, basking in bliss. But who could blame him? Anyone in Ramiel's place would have behaved similarly.
