Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Alusia’s touch was soft, her fingers brushing Kanata’s skin with a warmth that stirred his heart. Her breath was close, steady, sending a quiet shiver through him.
”Alusia…” Kanata murmured, his voice low, his hand resting gently on her hair, urging her closer. I want her near… always… His pulse quickened, drawn to her presence.
She paused, catching her breath, her eyes shining with a mix of effort and warmth. A soft smile curved her lips, radiant despite the moment’s intensity.
”More?” Kanata asked, his voice rough but tender.
Alusia leaned in again, her touch steady, pulling him into a shared rhythm. “Kanata…” she whispered, her voice trembling with feeling. The air hummed with their closeness, a quiet intensity building.
Kanata’s breath hitched, the warmth overwhelming. He fought to stay grounded, but the feeling was too strong. “Alusia, I’m…” he warned, his voice tight.
She stayed close, her presence unwavering, drawing him into a rush of connection. “…It’s okay,” she murmured, her voice soft, steady.
Kanata exhaled, the moment washing over him. Alusia met his gaze, her smile gentle, her cheeks flushed.
”Was that… okay?” she asked, her voice shy.
”More than okay,” Kanata said, warmth in his tone. “But now it’s your turn.”
He reached out, his fingers brushing her shoulder, easing her closer. Her skin was soft, glowing in the dim light, a quiet beauty that made his heart skip.
”Don’t stare…” Alusia mumbled, turning away, her blush deepening. Her shy gesture only pulled him closer.
”Turn around,” Kanata said softly.
Hesitant, Alusia shifted, facing him. “Like this?”
”Perfect,” he replied. His hands moved gently, tracing her arm, her warmth meeting his touch. She let out a small sound, barely audible.
”Feeling it?” Kanata teased, his voice light.
”N-no…” Alusia stammered, but her trembling said otherwise, her breath quickening. She leaned into him slightly, as if seeking more.
Kanata’s touch grew bolder, careful but sure, finding the rhythm of her reactions. “Oh!” Alusia gasped, her body tensing briefly, a spark of sensation catching her off guard.
”Too much?” Kanata asked, pausing.
”N-no, it’s just…” Alusia trailed off, her breaths uneven. She moved with him, their rhythm syncing, her warmth drawing him closer.
Her breaths grew ragged, her body trembling under the wave of feeling. “Kanata…” she whispered, her voice shaking. He pressed closer, their connection deepening, her reactions guiding him.
”Too much?” he asked again, teasing.
”Haa… no…” Alusia managed, her voice soft, overwhelmed. The moment surged, their closeness a shared pulse, pulling them both to a peak.
”Ah…!” Alusia’s voice broke, her body arching as the sensation crested. Kanata felt it too, their shared rush leaving them breathless. They collapsed together, panting, the air warm between them.
”Haa… enough?” Alusia whispered, her eyes soft, unguarded.
”Not yet,” Kanata said, a playful edge to his voice. “You were thinking of someone else. That’s not fair.”
”W-wait…” Alusia gasped, but Kanata pulled her close again, guiding her into a new rhythm. Her soft cries filled the air, each wave drawing them closer.
Even as Alusia grew tired, her breaths heavy, Kanata continued, her reactions spurring him on. She shot him a playful glare. “I… can’t keep up…” she mumbled.
”Your fault for thinking of others,” Kanata teased.
”It’s your fault, Kanata-san! Why be Flora’s king? You’ve got Mercuria!” Alusia protested.
”Mercuria’s taken, isn’t it?” Kanata countered.
”Yeah, but take it back! You’d be king!” she insisted.
”Being king’s a hassle. And what’s the point of Mercuria?” Kanata asked.
”It’s not pointless,” El’s voice cut in, sharp and clear.
Alusia blinked at the tiny fairy. “El-san… what…?”
”Mercuria’s land could benefit Kanata,” El said.
”Really?!” Alusia’s face lit up.
”Yup,” El replied. “But if you want to convince him, lend me your body.”
Alusia hesitated. El’s control… it’s overwhelming… Others felt the same, wary of El’s intensity. Kanata loved it—the mix of innocence and El’s confidence was thrilling. But El craved variety. “Sometimes, I want someone new,” she said.
”Uuu… fine,” Alusia agreed. “But you better convince him.”
”Leave it to me,” El said.
While Kanata daydreamed, they sealed the deal.
”Come on, I’m ready,” El said, guiding Alusia’s body to face Kanata, her movements teasing. “Hurry up.”
Kanata hesitated, then moved closer, his touch slow, deliberate. “Oh…” Alusia sighed, her body trembling slightly under his care. Her soft sounds grew louder, her warmth pulling him in. “So… intense…”
Her reactions fueled him, their connection deepening. “Kanata… more…” El urged, her voice blending with Alusia’s.
The moment overtook them, reason fading as they chased the feeling together. “I’m…!” Alusia gasped, her voice trembling. El echoed, “Me too…!”
Their breaths synced, the rush cresting as they collapsed together, breathless. Even as Alusia faded, El’s energy pushed them further, drawing out the moment until they were spent.

”So?” Kanata asked, holding Alusia gently, his fingers brushing her hair. He looked at El. “Mercuria. You said there’s a benefit.”
”Oh, right,” El said. She explained: Mercuria had two Dungeons, per Kuu-chan’s records. Another lay in Flora Kingdom, and one in Rubia Dukedom, a small nation between them. These five Dungeons, tied to ancient ruins, could grant immense power if controlled. The details were unclear, making exploration urgent.
”Plus,” El added, “if you control the Dungeons, the towns above are just in the way. Take them, and it’s easier later.”
Kanata nodded. “So, Rubia Dukedom should be under my control too.”
”Yup,” El said. “Caught between your lands, they’d surrender fast with a little pressure and a promise of safety.”
”Alright,” Kanata said. “Rubia aside, we start with Flora’s other Dungeon and Mercuria’s. Gather intel first.”
He ordered information on the Dungeons as top priority.
