Now that Michel's sorta rescued, what's gonna happen? No shota on shota, plz :p
Enjoy!
‘This boy is prettier than when I saw him in the video.’
That was Rana’s impression when he saw Michel.
The boy who came with his mother was beautiful, even with his features wet under the rain, so much so that Rana couldn’t help staring.
“Hello... you’re Rana, aren’t you?”
The other nodded, blushing despite himself.
“I’m Michel. I hear I’m free now because of you. Thank you very much.”
“Y-You’re welcome!”
His voice cracked into a falsetto.
“Rana, Michel must be tired, let him have a good rest.”
“Y-Yep... I’ll show him to the guests room, okay?”
“Please do, Mom will be preparing dinner.”
The minute she brought Michel into their house, Cattleya began resuming housework, with no time to rest.
[Mothers don’t get a break.]
She saw off Rana and Michel, who went to the second floor, and gave a sigh.
“Oh my?”
Her gaze stopped at the flute the boy had been carrying.
[He really shouldn’t leave that delicate, fine article inlaid with gold lying around so carelessly.]
With a slightly doubtful look on her face, she reached for the instrument.
“Ah!”
The moment her fingertips touched the flute, a current ran through her body.
In a panic, she let go. However, there was no pain.
“W-What’s this?”
She grabbed it again.
[Did its shape change?]
A desire to put it to her lips and blow it welled up inside her.
[I can’t. Don’t follow your cravings.
If I entrust myself to the desire I forgot a long time ago...]
***
Elina decided to take a closer look at the reliefs. On them, a woman with various weapons in hand was engraved.
[These must be some kind of secret notes.]
Her instincts told her that much.
“Melona, let Irma go.”
“Eh~? Will that be okay?”
“We’ve come this far, we don’t need her anymore.”
What Elina had been looking for in Irma was a guide to Echidna’s hideout. She had never actually intended to use her to negotiate a hostage exchange or anything like that.
Besides, now that Michel had already been released, there was nothing to negotiate for in the first place.
As soon as Melona undid her bindings, Irma directed a quick resentful gaze at them, then hurried to the depths of the cave, hands on her waist.
“Now, should I try one of these right now?”
Elina released her luggage, and turned her eyes to a relief near her.
[This is something that goes for all Beautiful Fighters: the stronger you get, the fewer opportunities to acquire new skills you get, so improving yourself becomes difficult.
Therefore, those who are hungry for strength should never miss an opportunity for learning.
Sometimes you learn from defeat, yet there are also times when you’re taught techniques by your opponent.]
‘Can you become strong enough to match me?’
Figuring that had been Echidna’s intention when passing through that corridor, the blonde tried her hardest to imitate the series of actions engraved in the reliefs.
“I’ll be taking some lessons now.”
The Vance daughter was hungry to improve herself as much as she could.
“Hm~, then, I’ll explore for a bit.”
With her companion now training, Melona went deep into the cave to satisfy her own cravings as well, in her case: curiosity.
[It seems this will take some time, so it’s okay to go on a little adventure of my own.]
