Elysia hadn't gotten fat; she had just drunk too much.
Her lower abdomen was slightly swollen, a "fullness" that was hard to conceal even with a loose-fitting dress.
The slightly rounded curve gave Elysia a maternal glow.
It was unexpectedly quite beautiful.
Higokumaru was a different story. When she had a big belly, it was just comical, like a slapstick comedian.
With light, lotus-like steps, Elysia gracefully walked towards Mobius.
She stopped.
The distance between them was no more than twenty centimeters.
They looked at each other.
She hadn't noticed before, but there was still a glistening trace at the corner of Elysia's mouth. It looked as if a layer of honey had been applied, giving her lips an alluring, candy-like sheen that made them look full and moist.
Elysia looked as if she were about to lean in for a kiss, causing Mobius to instinctively take a step back.
"Elysia..."
"Heehee."
Seeing the retreating Mobius, Elysia revealed a pure, innocent smile.
"I lost. That fellow, Mr. Ye Feng... is truly astonishing. Seven whole days and seven nights. I really thought I was going to die."
Seven days and seven nights?
Oh, so he altered the flow of time.
Still, it's seven days again.
It was the same with Aponia. Does the lab rat always go for a full week at a time?
"Sigh."
Elysia sighed again, looking down and rubbing her body with both hands.
"Honestly, even though this body does belong to Mr. Ye Feng, I still wish he would be a little gentler."
"?"
"That expression on your face, have you misunderstood something? No girl in the world would fall in love with someone because of this kind of thing."
Elysia raised a fair index finger and said earnestly.
"Alright, I'm a little tired. Good night, Mobius."
Mobius watched Elysia brush past her. The hem of her clear white dress swayed, becoming slightly transparent, faintly revealing black, oil-based tally marks written all over the fair thighs within.
"Whew~~"
After walking out of the classroom, Elysia let out a long sigh of relief.
Mobius probably didn't notice, right?
Elysia looked down again. Hidden within the lotus-pure dress were not only the tally marks but also exotic silver bells. Heaven knows how much effort Elysia had to exert not to make a sound while walking.
"Mmm... Mr. Ye Feng has such wicked tastes."
Elysia puffed out her cheeks.
Although she had already been thoroughly embarrassed in the previous "three rooms," if Mobius had discovered the "information" on her body, it would have been truly humiliating.
Elysia returned to her own designated area—as was his custom, Ye Feng had arranged a personal, exclusive space for everyone who arrived.
The first thing Elysia did was rush to the bathroom.
Never mind her stomach for now...
"Mmm, I can't get it off... the marks here won't wash away..."
---o---
...
Ye Feng received a text message from Mei, inviting him to the rooftop.
The reserved nature of the Far East maiden was now self-evident.
He pushed open the door. The young woman was standing in the clear morning light.
Today, she had clearly dressed up for the occasion.
Raiden Mei wore a neat white shirt, with a blue and white striped tie at the collar, its golden clasp shining faintly in the sun. She paired it with a short skirt of a matching color. Her figure was graceful and her curves distinct, the shirt unable to conceal her proud assets.
Her long, slender legs were encased in crystal-clear white stockings. The silky, tight curves made it clear that the quality of these stockings was bound to bring him endless surprises.
What was most eye-catching, however, was her long, navy-blue hair, which had been meticulously combed into a high ponytail, making her look exceptionally spirited. A single lock of hair hung gently behind her shoulder, swaying softly in the morning breeze like the gentlest halo in the dawn light.
"Feng-kun!" Mei called out happily, turning her head.
It was a scene full of youthful, campus romance.
"Mei."
Ye Feng walked towards Mei step by step, each one seeming light and full of temptation.
Mei's heart couldn't help but accelerate. The young woman could clearly feel her breathing quicken, and could even hear the thumping of her own heart in her chest. Ye Feng drew closer and closer, until the distance between them was so small they could almost feel each other's heated breath.
Then, Ye Feng took Mei's small hand in his. It was truly as soft as if it had no bones, smooth and supple.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"...N-No, I just arrived too."
Ye Feng squeezed the young woman's slender, beautiful hand. "You look very beautiful today, Mei."
"Eh? R-Really...?"
Mei lowered her head, shy but timid, her eyes filled with joy.
"You asked me to come here, Mei. Is something the matter?"
"Mhm."
Mei pointed to the east. "The sunrise from here is very beautiful."
Oh, so she wanted to watch the sunrise together.
Speaking of which, despite having been here for so long, Ye Feng had never actually watched the sunrise from this spot.
He and Mei sat down at the edge of the rooftop.
"There's still a little time before the sun comes up. Is there anything we should do?" Ye Feng asked with a beaming smile.
"Feng-kun..."
Mei turned her head to the side. Her gaze was locked on Ye Feng, unable to move away. Those deep eyes seemed to hold a magical power that drew her in completely.
She used to think he was quite ordinary, but ever since Ye Feng had helped her completely resolve her inner conflicts, no matter how she looked at him, she found him incredibly handsome.
And the potent, masculine scent he exuded made her feel dizzy. It was his scent, heavy and dependable.
"Why the dazed look?"
Just as Mei was about to get lost in this feeling, Ye Feng suddenly made a move she hadn't expected.
Ye Feng leaned his body forward, slowly closing the distance to Mei until their lips were almost touching.
In that moment, Mei felt as if time had frozen. All sound vanished, leaving only the sound of their intermingling heartbeats and breaths.
This was the romantic first kiss Mei had fantasized about.
Though it was a pity it wasn't their first, it wasn't too late to make up for it now.
Being lovers was about experiencing each other's "firsts" over and over, growing together.
Ye Feng breathed in the beautiful, pure maiden's unique, elegant scent, looking at her refined and otherworldly face.
"Mei's lips are so soft too..."
Too?
Before Mei could ponder the word, she was once again immersed in Ye Feng's powerful presence.
Without realizing it, Mei closed her eyes, her body twisting as she savored the wonderful taste.
Behind the door to the rooftop.
Kiana stood frozen in place. Reflected in her azure pupils was the image of Mei and Ye Feng embracing on the edge of the rooftop.
Th-This is...
If Mei had been forcefully bent over by Ye Feng using his "abilities," Kiana could have grudgingly accepted it.
But what was this?
Why did Mei have a look of complete intoxication on her face, completely immersed in the moment?
In that case, what have I been protecting all this time!?
