"... And another one finished. Nn... Let's see..."
I put the freshly made doll next to the other three I had already made. During the last few days, I've beco good enough that they were actually recognisable as dolls, but they still looked considerably clumsy. We just reused most of the dolls as materials for practice, so there were no finished ones I could've just taken anymore. At so point, we had been ssing around more than making actual dolls...
That was kind of fun though... But it might've been easier if we had kept at least a few practice dolls intact... Well, this will have to work...
After making four dolls I decided to test my magic on them. I had also gotten so mana crystals from the supplies manager. Though, few was an understatent when he just gave
a crate half filled with all the mana crystals they had no use for. Despite having no use they never sold or got rid of them for so reason. How mysterious.
Right now, I was quite thankful for it, though. I could just make my own mana crystals with them. Or rather, those weird pink mana eggs. I really had to ask Ria or soone else about those. Maybe they had an idea.
"Now then..."
I took one of the dolls in my hands. Since my eting with Yumias, many things had changed, but my lack of understanding of how to even cast these types of magic stayed the sa. I just simply threw the mana wherever I wanted it to be and thought about what I wanted it to do. Even if the process beca a lot easier since then. If anyone told
that was how magic was supposed to be... I was sure I'd give up ever understanding it.
"Ohh... It's moving."
After I had used the soul magic the doll began to stir slightly. With so very weird looking jerks, it tried standing up and then jumped out of my hand.
Once it safely landed, it lied down on its side and stopped moving.
"Nn? Doll, please move."
The doll raised its arm and made a shooing motion as if it was telling
to go away.
"..."
I grabbed the doll, which promptly was flailing around, and held it up in front of my face.
"Are you ssing with ? I made you, so listen to what I'm saying."
The doll stopped flailing and then hung limply in my hand.
"... Hey. Move."
I shook the doll violently, but it made no effort at moving. I decided to take a closer look and realised there was barely mana in the doll.
"How weird... Even though the last ti they could stay up for a few hours..."
With a sigh, I put the doll back on the ground.
"Yumi! Yumi! Are you here?!"
With a loud slam, the door to the wagon where I hid myself opened and Emily stord in.
"Yumi! Found you!"
"Emily? What are you doing here?"
The girl quickly ran over to
and nearly jumped on the ground next to , making herself comfortable. Behind her, Maya and Sele climbed in through the door.
"Uncle said we should co and help you! That you were trying your best to help everyone!"
"Haa..."
And how are they supposed to help ? I get the feeling this will just get harder with them around...
Sele silently walked past Emily and
and sat down on my other side, promptly hugging my arm. I was rather sure that Maya was the cat but she sure was doing well in her attempt to garner attention like one. Maya simply sat down next to Emily and stared at the dolls.
"Yumi, what are those?" she asked.
"Nn? Dolls. I am making them move and wanted to see what they can do. If they can... uh... speak? Or sothing along those lines..."
"Speaking dolls? That's impressive, Yumi!" shouted Emily.
"No, they probably won't actually speak Emily..."
"Oh... so they won't..."
Her sudden excitent disappeared in a flash, leaving only a slightly disappointed-looking Emily.
"W, Well... I can't say they won't speak either, you know? Maybe..."
"Eh? Really?"
"..."
I just dug my own grave, right?
But the way her face lit up at those words made it hard to retract the words. Her sparkling eyes, full of excitent, closed in on , leaving
with no escape path.
"I... I'll try, okay?"
"You can do it, Yumi!"
"Nn..."
I took a deep breath and focussed on the dolls in front of . Maya watched silently from the side and Sele was more busy occupying my arm. I already realised in the last few days that asking her to stop was a futile effort. A truly futile effort.
How am I even going to deal with that? Sis, save ... Now I really want to be with Sis...
I let out a sigh at my dilemma, earning
so curious stares from Maya and Emily. Shaking my head I decided to just focus on the dolls. I took one of them with my remaining free hand and attempted to use magic, strongly wishing for it to magically start speaking.
And the doll started moving.
"Ohh! Yumi! Yumi! The doll! It is moving!" exclaid Emily, leaning forward and staring at the doll from close-up.
You saw this before already, Emily. There's no need to be so excited just because it moves...
Maya similarly closed in and even Sele, much to my surprise, took an interest. I was certain all three of them watched
practising with Lily before, though.
The doll stood up and the bowed elegantly in our direction. Then it stood at attention, one arm held in front and the other on the back. Sohow I had a certain desire to make a hat and a stick for it.
"Yumi! Yumi! Why is it standing so weirdly?"
"Ehh... You could say because it wants to show us its respect? Sothing like that?"
"Mh... Weird!"
"Ahaha..."
The doll was still standing motionless in front of us so I figured I could try having it do a certain sothing. I stood up and walked over to a small box I got from the supply manager in addition to the mana crystals. Taking what I needed I returned to my place and sat down.
"Doll, take this and write sothing."
I handed the doll a pen and a sheet of paper. For all I knew, it might actually be able to write. The doll, finally moving, grabbed the pen and walked over to the sheet. Then, it vigorously began swinging the pen.
Around a minute later, it was done.
"..."
"Yumi! That doll is impressive. Super impressive!"
"Ohhh!"
Emily and Maya expressed their astonishnt while Sele leaned over and stared intensely at the sheet.
And ? I was simply too dumbfounded to even find a comnt. It didn't write. I half expected that it couldn't. But it sure found a different way.
I took the sheet and held it up. The doll was watching , as far as I could guess from its motions. Maybe it was anticipating a reaction.
The sheet in question was showing a picture. It wasn't a masterpiece, but it was recognizable enough that I could make out what it was showing. Naly us. There were four girls on the drawing, crowding together and sitting on the ground. As if it was from the doll's perspective. It was actually quite a cute picture.
"Yumi, did it draw us? Is that us in the picture?"
"Nn, Maya. That's certainly us."
"Wow... I've never had soone draw
before."
Neither did I, Maya...
I scratched the back of my head, unsure what to do with this.
Mhh... Wait, if the dolls can draw what they see... How do they even see sothing? Ahh, whatever, let's try this out...
I took another doll into my hand and animated it cautiously. Once I put it back on the ground it stood up and saluted towards . I really wondered if those personalities were completely random or if there was so kind of tendency among them...
"Try drawing or writing what you see here," I ordered the doll, giving it a pen and paper.
It quickly took the pen and swung it around, though it was more being swung by it instead. It took so effort before it managed to steady itself, but once it did, it imdiately began drawing sothing.
After around a minute it finished with the sketch.
"Ohh... Yumi. Yumi. We were drawn again!" muttered Emily who was clearly in awe.
She took the sheet before I could and held it up with sparkling eyes. Then, with all her might she turned towards .
"Yumi!" she nearly shouted.
"Wh, what?"
"Can they make two more?!"
"... They can, but why?"
"So there's one for each of us!"
One for each? I stared at her slightly surprised. Did she want us all to have one?
Maya and Sele also turned to
with clear expectations in their eyes. A wry smile found its way onto my face.
Having sothing like that for each of us, it was a nice idea and made
a bit happy as well.
"Nn, let's have them make more."
Staying true to those words, I made a few more dolls and animated them. Then I made them draw us more than just once.
At one point, I completely forgot the original intent and we had the dolls draw us multiple tis until each of us had quite a few quite adorable sketches. Making poses, simply sitting together or doing other stupid things.
... I need a box where I can keep things like this, don't I?
A while later I finally rembered my original purpose.
Since I confird that there was a kind of communication thod available, I started quickly making a few mana crystals and inserted them into the dolls.
"Yumi, what did you do?" asked Maya after watching
with wide eyes, her tail swinging left and right with a slow pace.
"Nn, they won't run out of mana now."
"They won't? So, they'll keep moving?"
"Nn."
Maya picked up one of the dolls and stared at it. I took a glance to my side and noticed Sele and Emily poking and playing with another doll.
They took quite a liking to them, didn't they?
It made
smile a bit, but since I had already rembered what I originally wanted to do, or rather had to do, I, unfortunately, had to break this up. Then again, I had a small idea.
"Emily, Maya, Sele. Do you want to help ?"
"Help?"
Emily tilted her head, her ears were twitching.
I really want to nibble on them...
"Yumi?"
"Ah... Nn, help. The dolls, I was told to place them around the fort. At spots where they can watch well."
"Why that?"
"That is..."
Emily stared at , waiting for an answer.
This was troubleso... I couldn't just tell her that it was basically for spying purposes, could I? What to do...
"... Keeping watch... for... bad n?" asked Sele.
"Keeping watch does sound reasonable."
"Oh, so it was like that? Yumi wants to protect everyone?"
"N, Nn..."
Maya and Emily were suddenly all impressed. It wasn't technically wrong once I thought about it. We just didn't have permission to keep watch. Or Korwen actually got permission but never told ...
"Then, we'll help of course! Right, Sele, Maya?"
"Yes, let's help!"
"..."
Maya affird her intention to help and Sele nodded as well. Sohow, they ca to an understanding completely on their own. I didn't really mind, though, and honestly, calling it 'keeping watch' sounded better to my ears as well.
"So, Yumi, we just have to hide the dolls sowhere where they can look?"
Maya asked
for confirmation. I nodded and then took one of the dolls into my hand.
"Just set them sowhere where they can watch and it should be good, I hope."
"Okay."
She nodded as well and then began taking a few dolls. Sele and Emily followed suit and soon every one of us had a few dolls in their arms.
"Then, let's go!"
Emily thrust one arm into the air.
"Ah."
And half the dolls fell down to the ground.
"Ah, stay here! You can't run away."
Maybe the dolls didn't like being dropped, but at least the ones that took a dive to the ground all ran away from Emily, so promptly leaving the wagon as well. Emily hurriedly tried to collect the ones she had dropped, including the ones that had already left the wagon.
"There she goes..."
"Yumi... Shouldn't we follow her?"
"Nn... Well, we should."
With a wry smile I took the lead and left the wagon as well, Maya and Sele following behind .
Once we were back outside we saw Emily running after one doll. I was actually astonished the doll with its short legs was able to keep running away from Emily. Most amusingly, all the ones that she hadn't yet caught were running after Emily. It looked more like they were playing tag.
After a few seconds, she disappeared behind a corner and was gone from our sight once more.
"Emily... ran..."
"She did, Sele..."
I furrowed my brows a bit.
"Still, do we run after her... Oh."
"Co back! Don't run away!"
Emily returned from behind the corner. This ti, she wasn't chasing just one doll, but pretty much every doll. Even the ones that she had been carrying were now escaping. In our direction.
"Eh? Wait a mont."
Without slowing their montum, they ran directly towards . Before I could even register what was happening, the first dolls already jumped onto , clinging to wherever they could find a hold.
"Wait, stop, don't jump on !"
"Yumi! Yumi!"
"Emily, I'm busy. Wait, Emily? Stop! Don't!"
Wham!
Copying the dolls, Emily jumped straight into my arms.
If only I was taller I might've actually been able to catch her without getting thrown backwards.
"Yumi! I caught you!"
"Yes, Emily... You did... You certainly... did..."
The saving grace was, that it didn't particularly hurt. Most dolls jumped away the mont Emily launched herself, so there weren't any unfortunate accidents like landing on one of them. Regardless, it was still quite the impact. Nothing I'd want to repeat.
I pat Emily's head. A wide grin was appearing on her face while she sat on top of .
"Yumi, Emily. Are you alright?"
"Nn, all fine, Maya."
I reassured Maya who was sounding slightly worried.
Sele ca over as well and tried pulling Emily off . Her expression was a bit scary but that was surely m imagination. Surely.
Once I stood up I dusted myself off.
"Emily, you can't just jump at others."
"Eh? Why not, Maya?"
"It's dangerous. What would you do if Yumi got hurt?"
"... That'd be bad!"
"It is. You understand?"
"I do! Sorry, Yumi!"
Emily turned towards
and apologised energetically.
"It's fine, nobody got hurt."
I pat her head once more with a wry smile.
"That's good!"
Emily's smile made
forgive her readily. I couldn't really get mad at this innocent girl. I really couldn't.
"Yumi, what about the dolls?" asked Maya, returning
to our original topic.
"The dolls?"
Taking a quick look around I realised... The dolls were mostly gone.
"..."
"Isn't this a bit bad, Yumi?"
"... No, it surely is fine... It surely is... Let's... uhm... just pretend they are keeping watch on their own?"
"Yumi... That's no good."
I was scolded by Maya. I was scolded by a girl half my age.
"Yumi, let's look for them, okay?"
"... Nn..."
And so, I was reluctantly dragged away by Maya while Emily and Sele followed silently.
"Did we find them all?"
"Nn... I think so."
I took another look around us but I could spot nothing notable.
It took us not really long to notice that most dolls actually just found a spot from where they could observe the fort's people by themselves. Their degree of autonomy scared . Quite a bit, in fact. What should I do if they decided to turn against
one day? Maybe I shouldn't think about that.
"Then, we're done," announced Maya.
"Done!"
"... Done."
Emily and Sele joined in and the three threw up their arms. It was an adorable sight.
"Yumi."
"Nn?"
"We're done!"
"Done!"
"... Done."
They repeated their words and threw up their arms again. Maya furrowed her brows and threw up her arms again and again.
"... Yumi... Join us..." mumbled Sele, barely audible.
"Eh? ...Oh."
They wanted
to join in. Maya grinned and then began anew.
"We're done!"
"Done!"
"... Done."
"Nn, done."
And then we all threw up our arms.
A mont of silence followed, but then, Maya and Emily started giggling happily. Sele started smiling as well and so did I.
It took a minute or so until the two of them cald down.
"Yumi, is there anything else to do?"
"Nn? No, that was all that the Captain asked
to do."
"Then, can we play now?"
The three turned to
with expectations clearly visible in their sparkling eyes.
"Ah... Well..."
I would love to play with them, but Korwen and the others were busy. I probably should rather look for him and see if there were other things I could do.
"Do you... still have to do sothing?" asked Maya with a wobbly voice.
It might have been a good thing that I wasn't taller than her. If she were looking up to
with those little tears that were peeking out from the corner of her eyes, I would surely be overwheld.
Then again, even without that, it made
feel really bad.
"Nn... I should find the Captain and see if I can help them. I'm sorry."
"I see..."
"Yumi, Yumi. Can we help?"
Emily pulled on my arm and asked.
"I don't know? We can certainly ask."
"Then, let's go together and ask Uncle!"
"... Nn, let's do that."
Emily swiftly grabbed my hand and began softly pulling
in her direction.
"Let's go!"
"Wait, Emily! That's the wrong direction!"
"..."
Emily hurriedly moved in a random direction only to be stopped by Maya.
"Oh? Then, where to?"
"We should ask soone where Uncle is."
"Nn, that would be good."
"Then, let's go!"
Emily thrust her arm up and declared our departure. Sele hugged my other arm promptly before Emily dragged
away again. Sohow, Maya was now being left out.
A bit to my surprise, she didn't seem to be overly bothered by it this ti. She quickly took the lead instead of Emily and lead us towards a more busy place.
After a while, we found a few soldiers and they directed us to the fort's warehouse. I was a bit worried that they simply told us to go there. Shouldn't that be an area that was at least a bit guarded?
In any case, a few minutes later we found Korwen, Karen and a few unfamiliar faces in a dimly lit warehouse.
"Mh? Yumi?"
When we approached Karen, whose back was facing us, suddenly turned around in our direction. Korwen followed her gaze, discovering us as well.
"Oh, the child squad appeared. Did you finish your job?"
"Nn, all done."
"Uncle! Uncle! We helped too!"
"Is that so. You did well, Emily."
"Ehehe!"
Korwen praised her, causing Emily to giggle happily.
In the anti, Karen walked over to . If I had to take a guess she wanted to hug
but was troubled by the fact that Emily and Sele were still occupying either side of .
"Yumi, why are you so popular."
"Even if you ask ..."
A strained smile was all I could give in response to her question. I didn't know either. Being popular with the kids was nice, of course. I wasn't going to complain about it. Especially not with these three.
"Now, you girls, we're busy. Yumi, help Karen out a bit. And you three, go back to the wagons and see if you can help soone. There's probably enough to do for you."
"Ehh, but Uncle, we want to be with Yumi!"
"Not fair!"
"..."
Emily complained and Maya and Sele voiced or motioned in Sele's case, their agreent. Looking troubled, Korwen scratched the back of his head while looking at them. Fortunately for him, Karen stepped forward, squatting down to our height in front of us.
"You three, don't be selfish. There are people who really need help right now. If we don't, they might be in big trouble."
"That is..."
"So, be good girls, okay? We won't disappear suddenly, we can just play later, right?"
The three looked down on the ground. Appealing to their consciousness seed to work quite well, as they nodded and then let go of .
Karen flashed them a smile and then rubbed each of their heads.
"Big Sis Karen, sorry. We'll go and help out," apologised Emily.
"Mm, do that. We're counting on you, okay?"
"Okay!"
Emily took Maya and Sele by their hands and then pulled them away.
"Until later!"
"Later."
"..."
The three said goodbye and disappeared quickly.
"Sis, you're pretty good at this."
"Ahh... Rather than good, they are all good children, they probably knew it themselves already. I just helped a bit."
Karen pat my head softly.
"Well, well... Thank you for that Karen. They are rarely selfish. It's nice that they act a bit more as children should but..."
"It's fine, Mr Captain."
"Haa... Well, anyway. Yumi, are you done with that?"
Korwen turned to
after thanking Karen for her help.
"Nn, everything done. I can't promise it'll work but I think it should."
"Mh, if it does, that would be quite useful in the future too. Well, enough of that. Yumi, you are good at calculating, so help us out a bit."
He handed
a small pile of docunts. It was quite heavy. Taking a look I found that most of them were lists, probably the inventory.
"Those lists are from the past half year. Can you calculate how much of each item is approximately used up in a month?"
"Nn, well, I can probably figure out the average?"
"That's good. That would already be a big help."
"But... Shouldn't sothing like this be known by whoever is responsible here?"
It was a bit weird for a huge fort not knowing how many supplies they used.
One of the unknown n, who had kept silent until now, stepped forward.
"Miss, the one responsible is... currently down by the disease... And the notes he left are few and rather... illegible."
"..."
He handed
a small piece of paper with so scribbles on it.
"Food. Twenty. Twenty-three. Forty-nine. Forty-four. Weapons. Four-hundred-seventy-nine. Three and a quarter dozen. Six and a half dozen. What? Why did he switch to dozens? And what are these numbers?"
"... We don't know..."
Reading out loud the note made
fear the future of this place. No wonder they had trouble keeping the fort running. All the vital personnel was down. If soone were to attack now, it made
wonder how well they would even be able to fend for themselves. What would happen if the soldiers got the two spears instead of a mace and a shield?
I shook my head in exasperation. Korwen smiled wryly and Karen gave a dry laugh.
"I'll see what I can do."
"Thanks. Karen, help her, okay? Once you're done bring the list to
or Fenna. Afterwards, you're free for the rest of the evening. Tell those three brats to rest then too."
"Will do."
"Then, good luck. There's a desk in the back you can use."
And then I was left alone with Karen. Korwen and the few others left us here.
"Is it really fine to leave strangers in the warehouse?"
"... Don't think too much about it, Yumi. Co, let's find the desk."
"Nn."
Karen took my hand and let
through the warehouse. We found the desk in question quickly. It looked old but surprisingly well cared for. There was only one chair though.
"Nn... I wonder if there's another chair."
"There is no need for one, Yumi."
"Nn? Sis?"
Karen sat down on the chair and then pulled
into her lap.
"See, one chair is enough."
"... I guess so."
I leaned back and Karen put her arms around .
"We finally got so ti for us again."
"We are supposed to work, Sis."
"Don't mind the small details."
"... I don't think it's a small detail."
Karen pulled
close with quite a bit of force, making
feel oddly conscious about what was pressing against the back of my head.
"Yumi."
"Nn?"
"... You see, Korwen left us here so we could have so ti for us..."
"Eh?"
I took a look behind
at Karen, her face going visibly red even in the dim light of the warehouse.
"Yumi... You see..."
Karen stopped and her eyes darted through the room, most likely because she was unsure what to say.
"You see... Quite a few people seem to know... about us today..."
"... Eh?"
What did she just say?
"Lily... Involved quite a few people... Like Mr Captain, Mr Vice-Captain, Wanda and Ms Fenna..."
"... Lily, you idiot..." I cursed quietly.
"Also, Yumi...
Did Lily help you?"
"Nn? Ah... She did."
"Well..."
Once more, she stopped. Was it maybe a problem that I got help from her? Thinking back on it, she got too many people involved. Then again, it was a success, so I couldn't exactly bla her.
"You see... I consulted with Lily as well... About today."
"... Wait a mont."
I turned around, this ti completely, turning my whole upper body to face Karen.
"... You an... We both consulted Lily and..."
"Yes..."
"... Let's... not think too deeply about it."
Whatever Lily did, it worked out well for us. We shouldn't pry too much into whatever she did.
Karen flashed
a little adorable smile in response. I really wanted to have this smile all for myself, it was just too cute.
"Yumi."
"Nn?"
"There's one more thing, that I wanted to talk about."
"One more thing?"
"Yes..."
She nodded. I return to my proper position on her lap and leaned back. I could feel her chest heaving up and down with every breath.
"I... I talked about it earlier already... That I might harm those around ..."
"... Nn."
Karen took a deep breath.
"So demonkin... Absorb mana from others."
"Mana?"
"Yes..."
"How is that a problem."
I couldn't quite wrap my head around it, but that didn't exactly sound like a big issue.
"If a person loses too much mana, they will collapse and in the worst case even die."
"Die... That's... certainly bad."
"Yes..."
I could feel Karen nodding behind . She embraced
tightly.
"The way they absorb mana... differs as well. So are... quite dangerous."
"Dangerous? Do they drink blood, or what?"
"That also happens yes."
"Huh... Wait... Blood?"
I stopped for a second. Drinking blood... that sounded familiar.
"Ahh... I think Sele might be in the sa situation," said Karen.
"... Is that so."
"Yes... But drinking blood is still one of the more ta variations."
"Is it?"
How bad did it have to be then? It couldn't be...
"There are so that also... eat... others."
"..."
"Ah, but I don't belong to those, don't worry."
She quickly reassured
when she noticed that I was keeping silent. I did say I wouldn't mind getting hurt on her behalf, but... being eaten was too much of a hurdle, even for . Way too much of a hurdle.
"That's good to hear... But Sis, why do they even have to absorb mana?"
"... I don't know. I really don't. But I heard, that those that don't follow those... instincts... go mad."
"Mad? Do they go on a rampage, or what?"
"Apparently so, yes."
"Hee... That's certainly not good."
If one had to... eat... others... to keep themselves sane, or they would just indiscriminately attack and cannibalise others... So might say that everyone had the right to live, but what would you do about this? No matter what, you couldn't keep either side really safe.
The only way was to imprison them and watch them go mad...
"You see... Those... instincts... don't surface imdiately. They appear suddenly. I don't know why... I never believed they would ever co..."
"But... they ca?"
"Yes... Around a week ago."
"A week ago?"
I could feel her nodding again. Her breathing beca shallower and I could feel the arms around her tensing up.
"The... the ti... you touched my tail..."
"... Eh?"
"That ti... I..."
She took another deep breath.
"I wanted... to... to sleep with you, Yumi!"
"Sleep with ? What do you... Ah."
I froze. She ant... that kind of sleeping.
I took a quick glance behind
and saw Karen shutting her eyes close while she was red up to the ears.
"I... I see..."
Muttering those words, I was a bit overwheld by that sudden... confession?
"I... I'm sorry."
"Why do you apologise, Sis?"
"That is... I an, isn't it weird? With two girls..."
Ah, that was it.
"Sis, does it matter whether it is weird or not?"
"But... Others might not accept it."
"Well, considering Lily involved quite a few people, they already do accept it, right? And what does it matter if there are strangers not accepting it? I love you, Sis. That's what is important, isn't it? And those important to us, they don't mind either."
"But..."
I put my own hand on hers.
"Sis, do you love ?"
"Of course I do!"
"Then isn't it normal to want to have sex?"
"Se-!"
Karen gasped audibly. She was probably embarrassed, hearing it so matter-of-factly. Then again, so was I, but I couldn't let it show right now. I had to show that I was the older one now. Even if I was basically just repeating what Lily told .
Karen was silent for a bit, I could feel her body heating up.
"Well... I guess that's true..."
"See? And it's not like that really hurts
either. Though, I don't know much about that absorbing mana stuff, but shouldn't it be fine if I just absorb mana from mana crystals to replenish?"
"... Ah."
Karen froze. Did she not consider that?
"You... are right. It shouldn't be much, so I think that's fine."
"See. Then, there's nothing to worry about."
I turned around and grinned.
"Thank you, Yumi."
"You're wel-"
Suddenly my mouth was blocked and Karen's face was really close. By the ti realised that she was kissing , it was already ending.
"Ehehe, thank you, Yumi."
"... Don't surprise
like that."
"Ehh, so it's better if I announce it first?"
"That's... I don't know."
That was truly a question I couldn't quite answer myself. I didn't dislike the sudden kiss, but... I did want to enjoy it a bit more.
Karen's expression turned soft and she gently rubbed the back of my head.
"Yumi, when we talked with Lily about girls liking each other... I was really relieved to hear your answer to it."
"My answer?"
"Ahh, I was... Thinking a lot... Since then. Whether it was really alright, whether I really loved you or whether I was just... looking at you lustfully."
"..."
"I think, I really already knew that I was really in love with you, but when I heard it at the ti... I couldn't help but think... 'Maybe I have a chance.'"
She pulled
close, turning
back into my original position on her lap, her arms wrapping around my waist.
"When Lily asked whether you already loved soone, I was a bit worried, to be honest. But when I talked with Lily she said, that if I wouldn't take a step forward I would never find out."
"Ah, well, Lily knew about it..."
"She did, didn't she? We've been dancing in the palm of her hand."
"A bit, yes."
Karen relaxed her arms a bit.
"We should thank her, shouldn't we?"
"Nn."
"I'm really glad, that I found the courage today."
"Nn."
Karen nuzzled her nose against my neck from behind and then kissed it gently.
"Nn, Karen..."
"Ehehe, Yumi. I love you."
"I love you too, Sis."
Her soft breathing tickled my neck every ti she spoke.
"Yumi..."
"Nn?"
"Could we... go further?"
"... Nn? Further?"
I thought for a good mont about what she ant until I could feel her hand sliding down and touching my thigh.
"Further. Is it... no good?"
"That is..."
I was a bit at a loss for words.
Her other hand also slid down, gently caressing my inner thigh.
"Nn, Sis, there is..."
It was a ticklish, but pleasant sensation, even through the cloth of my one-piece.
"Yumi, can we?"
Karen stopped stroking and caressing. When I took a look behind I saw Karen's serious expression. It was pretty stiff.
"Sis..."
I leaned forward, towards that way too serious expression. It didn't suit her. I wanted her to be more relaxed, to have fun, and to be happy.
My lips t Karen's shortly after. We didn't separate this ti. Every ti it seed we would separate, one of us pushed forward, catching the other.
After a short while, we finally separated, each of us breathing heavily from a lack of oxygen.
"Yumi, I love you. I love you so much."
"Nn, Sis."
Karen once more embraced
tightly. Her hand slowly went downwards and reached the hem of my dress. Without giving
ti to react, she pushed
off her lap and pulled the dress up, undressing
in but a mont.
"S, Sis, wait."
Suddenly being stripped of my only piece of clothing was a bit too sudden for .
"I won't wait, Yumi."
True to her words, she didn't. Turning
around, so that I was facing her, she pushed my back and I fell onto the desk.
"Ah."
"There's no escape, Yumi."
She must've undressed as well imdiately, as she wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing anymore either.
And now, Karen was close above , who was now lying defenselessly on the desk. Her expression, as if she was in a trance.
"Yumi, Yumi!"
Karen lowered herself and kissed my lips again, and once she separated she kissed
on the nape of my neck, my collarbone, my chest. Then, she began licking my chest.
"Sis, there is... bad..."
"Why is it bad?
Simultaneously to that, one hand was slowly circling around my stomach, gently caressing the area around my navel, then slowly reaching downward, on my inner thigh. The pleasurable feeling only grew stronger and my entire body was heating up.
"Nn! Sis!"
"If you don't tell , I won't stop."
"That is..."
Karen stopped licking my chest and instead closed in on my face and kissed
again. After a few seconds, she separated and flashed
a an smile. In contrast, I was breathing heavily, from the kiss and from pleasure.
"Does it feel good, Yumi? It does, right?"
"Haa... Haa... Si... Sis..."
"Yumi, you're so cute."
Her free hand that was caressing my thigh slowly wandered upwards, at the one place she had avoided until now.
"Yumi! Yumi!"
Karen's eyes were staring straight into mine. It was as if they were glowing.
"Sis..."
I raised my hands, circling them around her neck, pulling her close for yet another kiss. But before our lips t, her hand had reached its goal.
"Nngh!"
An unknown feeling shot through my body the mont her fingers brushed down there.
"Sis! Don't..."
"I won't stop."
The feeling slowly abated. When I opened my eyes that I had closed reflexively I saw her hand, that was teasing
just a mont ago, right in front of . Her fingers seed to shimr as if they were covered in a fluid.
"Such a naughty little sister I have."
Her hand disappeared from my view once again, replaced by Karen's approaching face. A kiss, her tongue invading my mouth, together with her hand that was gently caressing my lower body.
And then, without any warning, another shock went through my body. I gasped for air, ending our kiss. In the mont of separation, I could glance at Karen's intoxicated expression, as if she was drunk, her eyes glowing. Not taphorically, they really were.
"Yumi!"
Whatever she was doing down there with my vagina, it felt incredible. A jolt ran through my body.
At this point, my consciousness grew slightly hazy. Karen was endlessly caressing . My chest, my vagina, my stomach, my thighs. She left nothing out.
At one point, she guided my own hand to her lower body, rubbing herself on my arm. I had no idea what I should do, so I let her do as she pleased while she played with my lower body at the sa ti.
"Yumi! Yumi!"
The pleasure was building up, more and more.
"Sis... Sis..."
Until it finally reached its peak.
"Nngh!"
"Ahhh!"
Pleasure washed through my body, followed by a warm, fluffy feeling of happiness.
And then, my consciousness cut off.
