_______________
The sun was fully up and it was around noon on the hour. Tatsuro woke up on a soft bed.
Looking next to me, I saw Ai lying naked and sleeping, breathing regularly.
This brought back vivid memories of yesterday's events. Tatsuro stared at Ai's sleeping face, thinking that he had drowned out the lust that had welled up yesterday after all that he had done.
“We tied the knot yesterday…" (Tatsuro)
When I said this, it became even more real to me, and I could not help but love the girl in front of me more than ever."Ai …” (Tatsuro)
Tatsuro gently held Ai close to him and gently and tenderly stroked her head.
After about ten minutes of such blissful moments, Ai eventually woke up in Tatsuro's arms.
"Tatsuro." (Ai)
“What is it?" (Tatsuro)
“I love it." (Ai)
“I love you too." (Tatsuro)
Therefore, they hugged each other tightly and kissed deeply and deeply, which they must have done many times but never got tired of it.
“Speaking of which… are you okay?" (Tatsuro)
“Hmm? Well, maybe it's a little uncomfortable? But it's not unbearable.” (Ai)
“Well… that's fine then. Let's just relax for the rest of the day." (Tatsuro)
“Yes, but Tatsuro seems to be fine huh? Even though you did it that much yesterday." (Ai)
Ai laughed with mischievous eyes at Object X, which was violently asserting itself against her stomach.
“That's because, well, I'm still young. ……” (Tatsuro)
“Would you ever want to do it again?" (Ai)
“Of course!" (Tatsuro)
"Oh, no, you don't have to be so desperate… Don't be so desperate…" (Ai)
When Ai said this and smiled bitterly, Tatsuro felt a touch of uneasiness. He wondered if he had been a terrible liar.
Tatsuro was afraid, but he could not help but ask for clarification, so he asked for something important.
“Ai don't you want to do it no more?" (Tatsuro)
“What? If Tatsuro wants to, we can do it now, okay?" (Ai)
“I don't want to do it. Not because I want to, but because I want to hear from Ai herself." (Tatsuro)
"Is it me? As for me, I'd like to … that … uh…want to … desu" (Ai)
Tatsuro let out a breath of relief because, according to his appraisal of Ai's first-grade facial expression test, she was not even saying it out of concern.
But soon after, Ai added more words.
“But next time we do it, I'd appreciate it if you'd be a little gentler." (Ai)
“Gah, sorry …” (Tatsuro)
Tatsuro, thinking back again to himself, bowed his head, saying that his behavior may indeed have been violent when he had skipped a couple of times to reason.
Ai laughed at such a Tatsuro. He is a cute person, she thought.
“It was the first time for Tatsuro to do it. It was Tatsuro's first time, too, and I could tell that he was serious about making love to me.” (Ai)
Ai then kissed Tatsuro on the cheek and laughed.
His smile made Tatsuro remember that he would be kinder next time.
After the two changed their clothes, they put the sheets, and other soiled items away in the [item box] after removing the dirt by disassembling them, they put it back together.
They would have left it as it was and cleaned it up without saying a word, but they were indeed embarrassed.
When that work was finished, they went downstairs to the living room and called the maids by the bell to prepare lunch.
They told the maids that they would be taking a bath about an hour later, and asked them to make the necessary arrangements as well.
“Oh, that's just perfect." (Ai)
"I guess. Although I'm a little afraid I'm going to be a bad person." (Tatsuro)
“You're right.” (Ai)
They finished eating while talking about this, and after a short break, they both headed for the bath together.
According to Ai, “There’s no need to hide it now," she said in a very masculine way. It is an open secret that her face is bright red.
However, Ai was still shy of the embarrassment, so she let Tatsuro go first in the changing room, and Ai came in later.
When Tatsuro entered the bathtub, which had been cleaned before he knew it and not a single hair had been left out, he found that the water was just a little warmer than the skin.
Tatsuro admired it and once scooped up hot water with a tub to rinse himself off before entering.
Ai, meanwhile, sneaked off to rinse herself off and immediately entered the hot water, sitting down next to Tatsuro while casually hiding her breasts.
Tatsuro, having said that he was going to take it easy today, looked up at the ceiling, trying not to look at it too much, since he did not intend to mess with her.
“Oh, that's nice hot water." (Tatsuro)
“You smell like an old man, Tatsuro.” (Ai)
Tatsuro, couldn't fully enjoy the bath yesterday, but the nostalgic sensation of stretching out his arms and legs and getting warm from the core made him squeal, to which Ai chuckled.
Perhaps this was a good opportunity for Ai to relax, and they held hands as they looked up at the ceiling at each other.
It was not what they were doing, but they both felt that this time was happier than anything else was.
Then they washed each other's bodies thoroughly including their backs, warmed up in the bath again while flirting, and then they got dressed and went back to the living room.
Of course, during that time, Tatsuro got through it with guts and no hands.
For the rest of the day, they stretched their wings in a leisurely manner, doing nothing.
From the next day on, the two spent another fulfilling day earning SP, training to increase skill levels, shopping, and relaxing after returning to the inn, until finally the day of the forest survey request, April 6, the day of the tree.
They woke up early in the morning, had a good breakfast, got ready, and then went to the bedroom for a final check.
“Okay, you're not forgetting anything, are you?" (Ai)
“Yes, I'm fine. Oh, but let's check each other's status just in case.” (Tatsuro)
“And we both got our levels up yesterday." (Ai)
“Yeah, that's true, too. I'll start with me…" (Tatsuro)
They started up the system and checked each other's status screens.

“I think your stats got enhanced a little, and there is now [Mana Perception Lv.3]. Nice job" (Ai)
“I feel like I can use those attributes without the help of skills now. I wonder what kind of magic I can use when they level up higher…; Ai has raised the skill level of her main power, right?" (Tatsuro)
“Yeah. And… Airwalk!" (Ai)
“Yeah, I was surprised when I first saw that one." (Tatsuro)
Tatsuro remembered just the other day when Ai, who was playing chase with Cardina outside of town, suddenly jumped two steps in the air.
Ai seems to have activated it unconsciously, but later on, it seems to be a special derived skill released from [Unarmed Combat Lv.7], according to my research.
It is not even listed in the list of things that can be obtained from the system shop, but can only be obtained by personal efforts, and the difficulty level is quite high.
Therefore, even though Ai had the [Valkyrie] skill, [Air Walk] was still at Lv.2.
Incidentally, the number of Ki footholds that can be created in one leap is equal to the level, so Ai can currently jump twice in the air.
“I did it before I realized I was doing it, so it didn't surprise me, but had I been able to do it consciously, I'm sure I would have been impressed the first time around." (Ai)
"I guess. That was quite a shocking image." (Tatsuro)
He then patted Ai's disappointed head and called out Cardina, who was even bigger than before.
“Cardina-chan, you've also improved your body level and you're looking quite respectable." (Tatsuro)
“Yeah, that's cool, Cardina." (Ai)
"Peek!" (Cardina)
“Ouch. Hey, why are you mad at me? I gave you a compliment, remember?" (Tatsuro)
When Tatsuro said it was cool, Cardina kicked him lightly with her foot. Ai let out a sigh of relief when Tatsuro was upset that he had no idea why she was doing this.
“No, Tatsuro. Cardina is a girl, and I have to tell you that you are beautiful. Hey." (Ai)
“♪ Pewee ♪” (Cardina)
“What? There was such a thing as gender? And how the hell does Ai know that!" (Tatsuro)
“You'd know that if spent time with her.” (Ai)
"Peewee." (Cardina)
In the first place, Tatsuro, who had never thought about the gender of magical creatures, could not possibly understand such a thing.
Nevertheless, if Cardina is a female, then Ai's behavior at that time made sense.
That action was when she purchased the pink choker that Ai is wearing on Cardina right now.
Realizing that Cardina's existence was similar to that of a demon, Tatsuro decided to mark it with an easily recognizable marker.
Therefore, when Tatsuro and Ai went to the store to buy it, they disagreed.
Tatsuro wanted to wrap a good-looking scarf around Cardina.
However, Ai did not listen, saying she would rather have the cute choker she has now.
In the end, Tatsuro broke down and went with that one, but I honestly thought Cardina would not like it.
However, Cardina showed it to him, and he liked it so much that he began to beg her to put it on every time she came out in public.
(Okay, so …, it was a girl.)
After all this time, Tatsuro's small suspicions were cleared he apologized to Cardina and finally started walking toward the meeting place.
