Sigh, no more thinking about it. Let's read the manga. The heroines are still playing that 'you know, I know, but we're not saying anything' game, which makes Leticia really want to rush in and tell them,'Stop acting, just get together already!'
But she couldn't rush in, so she could only patiently read page by page the sweet daily lives of the two cute girls, and the day they would clear everything up was clearly still far off.
According to this author's style, it might be until the end of the manga that these two young girls would confess their feelings to each other and truly get together... "Didn't you sleep well last night?" Sitting in the smoothly moving car, Melanie looked at the sleepy girl and asked.
Leticia nodded slightly. "Watching manga made me a bit too excited. As soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was filled with when those two little rascals would finally get together, and well, I couldn't sleep."
Even holding her sister, she had no hint of sleepiness. It wasn't until past one in the morning that she finally fell into a deep sleep under her body's protests.
This time, she wasn't pulled into Flora's estate. It seemed that once Leticia agreed to her request, Flora had no reason to pull Leticia over again.
Of course, the most likely reason was that Flora's main body had already been taken away by Eriko, and this distance prevented her from pulling Leticia into her world for a chat anymore.
"Then take another nap in the car. It takes quite a while to drive from here to the Hero Association," Melanie suggested.
From the suburbs to the Hero Association in Central City, it would take about an hour under good traffic conditions. If they encountered traffic jams or similar issues, the time spent would likely double.
So Melanie usually traveled on foot, jumping between tall buildings, which was much faster and more convenient than crawling slowly like a turtle in a car on the ground. Moreover, since the existence of superpowered individuals was no secret, ordinary people had a high tolerance for figures jumping around on skyscrapers.
At least there wouldn't be an awkward scene where one person jumps around up there, and everyone below simultaneously pulls out their phones to call the police.
But because she was also bringing Leticia, who temporarily had zero mobility, Melanie could only call a car, and the two squeezed into it to slowly make their way there.
Using the word "squeezed" might not be entirely appropriate; the back seat of this car was actually quite spacious, more than enough for two girls. The feeling of being a bit squeezed was entirely because Melanie moved closer to Leticia as soon as they got in the car.
This made Leticia feel that the distance between her and Melanie was a bit close, which meant it felt a bit squeezed.
However, after the car started moving, the previously suppressed drowsiness gradually surged, and Leticia didn't pay much attention to it anymore. "Where did you send that Eriko?"
"A very safe place. Don't ask so many questions, just get some sleep," Melanie told Leticia.
"I'm just afraid that you'll say you're sending her to a safe place, but actually send her into the tiger's den," Leticia said indistinctly, propping her head up.
"Even if there's a problem, I'll take responsibility for solving it."
"I hope so. If she really gets captured, I hope you can just kill her directly."
"Huh? Why?"
"Who knows what secrets she has? What if there's something on her that could threaten us, and that thing falls into the hands of the Elf Race because she was captured? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?" Leticia yawned again. "So, it's better to just kill her. If you can't do it, I will. Just don't interfere then."
"To consider these things now, isn't it too..." Melanie's words were cut short as she saw the girl beside her swaying and about to fall over.
Was she that sleepy?
Supporting Leticia with her hand and placing her head on her lap, Melanie decided to discuss Eriko's matter after Leticia woke up.
However, Leticia wasn't asleep yet.
She had just been a little drowsy, but now, with Melanie's actions, her sleepiness vanished instantly.
What was going on? Why did she just press her onto her lap?
What's happening?
Leticia was stunned; Melanie's thigh felt incredibly good, very soft, so soft that she wanted to stay pressed against it.
Melanie usually wore short skirts or pants, and today she was wearing a slightly short skirt, with translucent white stockings underneath. From Leticia's current perspective, she could even see the thigh flesh slightly constricted by the garter belt.
It was simply too wonderful.

Should I resist?
Leticia really wanted to resist, but she felt the weariness that had just slipped away return.
This time, she was probably really going to fall asleep.
Sleeping in a chair versus sleeping with her head on a girl's thigh didn't seem like a difficult choice.
Well, since she was using Melanie's thigh as a pillow, she wasn't at a disadvantage, Leticia told herself.
Soft and fragrant, she had a premonition that she would have a good dream.
Melanie, of course, knew that Leticia hadn't been asleep just now. She had actually made a risky move, thinking that if Leticia didn't refuse, she could spend over an hour with Leticia like this.
However, the probability was a bit low. Melanie had already prepared herself to be scolded by Leticia, but she never expected Leticia to be too lazy to even put up a symbolic resistance.
She just... fell asleep?
Gently poking the girl's slightly flushed cheek with her hand and softly calling her name in her ear, Melanie confirmed that Leticia was truly tired after receiving no response.
Otherwise, how could she fall asleep without a sound? She would definitely struggle a bit on the surface, and then if Melanie acted a little tougher, there would be a slight chance she'd obediently fall asleep.
That's how it should be, right?
But without the part where Leticia says one thing but means another, why does it feel so wrong?
Could the Leticia on her lap be fake?
No way, right?
It must be because she was too tired to bother with all those formalities, Melanie tried to convince herself.
The girl lying on her lap was real, and that was enough. There was no need to overthink anything else.
"Drive a little slower, a little steadier," Melanie said in a low voice to the Woman in Black in the driver's seat.
"Understood."
Melanie knew how to drive, but the cars she knew how to drive were the wild kind that could crash around freely; she couldn't even pass the driving test for a regular car.
Because sometimes, this girl's thought process could be quite eccentric. To prevent the residents of Central City from being tormented by this eccentric mind, Senpai Sani decisively decided not to issue Melanie a Driver's License.
This made Melanie, who loved bumper cars, a bit annoyed.
"Senpai Sani seems to be coming today too, shouldn't we have them sit separately?" Melanie began to ponder another question in her mind... "Hmm... Mmm?!" Leticia, who had a wonderful sleep, opened her somewhat hazy eyes.
"Awake?" Noticing the girl's movement, Melanie softly asked, afraid that the girl was still sleeping and she might wake her up.
In her confusion, Leticia propped herself up on Melanie's thigh, straightening her body.
"How long did I sleep?" Leticia vigorously patted her face, feeling much more awake.
"An hour, not long," Melanie replied, looking at the greatly changed scenery outside the window. "We still have a little while to drive before we reach the Hero Association headquarters."
