"H-Hmph.... I see.... ehe.... eheheh....."
Valena's muffled laughter continued against his chest.
Asmodeus looked down at the red dragon clinging to him and felt his brow twitch.
A few moments ago, she had been seconds away from burning half the deck with rage. Now, because he admitted he was worried about her, she was melting against him like some spoiled child who had received praise for the first time.
'What a troublesome creature.'
Nerim watched from his side with narrowed eyes.
'Why does my chest feel so tight, watching her cling to his chest so happily...?'
Meanwhile, the dragoness curled her long red tail around Asmodeus's thigh, gripping tight enough to deform his muscles.
There was a slight jolt of pain, and then he felt a soothing, comfortable pressure as she slowly shook it, creating vibrations that travelled through the same muscles as if giving him a massage.
"Why are you glaring at me, fish?"
"Because you're taking advantage of my husband!"
