Chapter 91: Travel and crossing the line (1)
[Physis POV]
That day, we fell asleep in each others arms, exhausted, without forming any special bond.
Perhaps our greatest problem was the lack of energy. Just confronting the future Adilun and realizing the truth had drained much of our strength.
Even though the mont I had ardently wished for had co, we just fall asleep.
There would be many opportunities, so there was no need to rush.
Maybe it was ti for a trip. Since I had decided to travel south with Adilun, this might be a good chance.
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I spoke to Adilun.
Adilun.
Hmm?
Do you rember the promise we made in Ortaire?
The honeymoon promise, about going to the sea?
Yes.
Why all of a sudden? We still have so ti until the wedding.
I was just thinking, instead of a honeymoon, how about we take a trip just the two of us.
At my words, Adilun smiled slyly.
Hehe, Id love that. Ive actually always wanted to travel just with you, without anyone else.
Then when would you like to go?
The sooner the better. Now that were on the topic, shall we prepare and leave tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Yes.
Alright, then.
Well see the sea... and many amazing things. And...
For a mont, Adilun blushed and then continued,
We could... take the step we couldnt before?
Her shy proposal was so cute. Seeing her embarrassed about a topic that had once tempted so much made want to hug her right away.
...Okay.
But I think my parents might be surprised to see that I have scales again...
Can you tell why the scales returned?
Its a dragon trait. Didnt I ever say that the scale is like a magical organ?
Yes.
These scales are because of the new awakening.
Because of new awakening?
Yes. You can think of these scales as magic organs which temporally store and harness the mana in the process of awakening.
I see...
By any chance? Does it gross you out?
What? No way. It just feels mysterious.
Im relieved. I thought you might dislike it...
Didnt I tell you? I liked you even when you were covered in scales.
...Yes.
Adiluns face turned a deep shade of red.
I couldnt resist any longer.
I grabbed her face. For a mont, I felt the smooth sensation from the tiny scales on her cheek. The feel of her soft cheeks and the scales between felt mysterious. Sohow, it made feel like I had fallen for a mysterious being.
Ah?
I pressed my lips against Adiluns, who was taken aback by my sudden approach.
Mmm...
A tingling sensation raced from the tip of my tongue to my brain. After defeating the Demon King, and being unable to engage in intimate monts for quite so ti... I was starved.
Perhaps Adilun felt the sa, her initial surprise lting into the kiss. Only after satiating our mutual yearning did we draw apart.
Haah. Lets get ready, quickly.
Adilun said abruptly with a flustered expression. I nodded in agreent. Whether it was a trip or anything else, I wanted to go sowhere where it was just the two of us... and make love to her.
I wanted to cross the line we hadnt crossed before.

We quickly finished our preparations. Having defeated the Demon King and completing the subsequent tasks, we discreetly spoke to Duke Johannes and Lady Claudia during breakfast.
Um, Your Excellency.
Yes? What is it?
Now that most of our major tasks are over, Adilun and I were hoping to take a trip... Would that be alright?
A trip?
Yes. We made a promise in Ortaire to soday travel to the sea. With the Demon King matter settled and Adiluns heirship lessons temporarily halted, it seems like the perfect ti...
Go ahead. There isnt anything pressing for Adilun in the near future... and theres no issue with just a few days of travel. But do inform about one thing.
What might that be?
When do you plan to get married? Id appreciate a definite date.
Ah, well...
Before I could answer, Adilun, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.
Were thinking of preparing for the wedding as soon as we return.
...Is that so?
Yes. Theres no point in delaying it further.
Youve made a wise decision. In any case, there shouldnt be any issues, so go and enjoy.
Thank you, Father.
Its nothing. Its the least I can offer, especially after the challenges you both faced during the northern monster invasion.
Ah, Adilun.
Suddenly, the Duchess Claudia spoke.
Yes, mother?
Ill be looking forward to so good news.
In an instant, a small cough escaped . It seed the two were aware of the nature of our trip. Given the frequent acts of affection weve shared in the castle, they probably knew it was about ti.
...Yes.
Adilun, with her cheeks painted a shade of rose, quickly finished her al, and together, we practically fled the scene.
.

Just like that, the preparations for the journey began. In fact, there wasnt much to prepare. All we needed were a few sets of clothes to wear and so money for expenses.
Moreover, both of us werent lacking in strength, so even if we faced any unexpected circumstances, we could easily overco them. Additionally, in terms of our status, there werent many people above us, so the preparation for the trip concluded quite smoothly.
Were finally done. Hehe.
Adilun smiled slyly and said.
Yes. I think finishing quickly was partly thanks to the space magic.
Ive recently gained insight into it. Im glad it was helpful.
Ever since rging with her future self, Adilun had acquired a proficiency in space magic. It simplified packing, letting her just stow belongings in a magically created pocket dinsion.
Looking at Adilun, who was smiling innocently at , I felt closer to her than before. Perhaps because we started speaking informally.
You know, hearing you talk informally feels strange and new.
Hm? Why? Dont you like it? Should I go back to being formal? If you dont like it, I will.
Adilun carefully gauged my reaction. I gave a slight smile and shook my head.
No. I like the informality. It feels more intimate. After all, theres only a one-year age difference between us.
Hehe, really? To be honest, after rging with my future self, I started speaking informally without even realizing it. I didnt plan on it initially, but now it feels more natural.
Its probably influenced by the longer life your future self has lived. After all, you are the sa person. Youre bound to have the sa characteristics. It feels even better, actually.
Really?
More than anything, I never knew you had such a playful personality. I think the rging might have released so suppressed tendencies from within you. Just like... the ti you seduced . I felt you were quite bold then.
As I slightly blushed and spoke, Adiluns face also reddened, perhaps recalling that mont.
It... it does seem that way. Ever since we rged, Ive begun to feel a strange sense of liberation
Even so, Id appreciate it if you showed this side of yourself only in front of . Id prefer you to remain composed around others.
Ahaha, whats this? Are you perhaps jealous?
Maybe. Most people would be smitten by you. Rember during the last gathering, there were so many pests trying to approach you?
Yes, but dont worry. I have no intention of showing this side to anyone but you.
Good. Now that our bags are packed, shall we set off?
Yes. Lets. Honestly... I cant hold back any longer.
Her words carried an undeniable heat. Likewise, a passionate desire was evident in her eyes. Who could see that and not have their heart race?
Observing my own mirrored desire in her gaze, an overwhelming urge consud . Now, all barriers have crumbled, and only the act of becoming one remained.
I feel the sa way. Honestly, I wonder if you realize how much Ive held back since the last ti.
I know. Back then, you were frustrated for not being able to have .
This ti, I truly wont be able to resist.
Hehe, I knew youd say that, so Ive been building up my stamina.
Even so, it wont be enough. I wont stop, even if you ask to.
In response to my whispered words, Adilun looked at with slightly moistened eyes, as if she was growing even more excited.
Haaa. I wish youd be even more like that.
With her quickened breath, she whispered in my ear, and my excitent began to escalate. I wanted to tear off her clothes and take her right then and there... but just a few more hours of patience would suffice.
Still, the foremost concern was embarking on our trip. I took a mont to compose myself and laid out our exact plans to her.
First off, we need to decide on our destination. The place with the sea is the southern in Magnolia. Fortunately, its where the teleportation gate is located. We can list our purpose of visit as tourism, and well find a decent place to stay once we arrive. Did you bring the items to prove our identities?
Ive got everything.
But the suppressed excitent wasnt sothing that could easily be concealed. Both for her and . Maybe going straight to the beach as soon as we arrive might be... a bit too ambitious. Anyway, we had already inford Duke Johannes about our travel dates... All that remained was to make the most of it.
With hearts full of anticipation, both of us moved toward the teleportation gate.
