"Boom--"

With a thunderous explosion, the rain became more and more majestic.

I put Little White on my shoulder, stepped into the door of Blood of Shia, then shake the umbrella, wiped the raindrops on my hair.

Even in such weather, the store still has three or two orcs talking and laughing loudly, only slightly restrained after I entered.

"Yo, back?" Ghemk greeted me lazily as he leaned over the counter.

"Hmm."

I handed him my umbrella, he rejected it.

"This umbrella is the old man's, he said to give it to you."

"...... Where did the old Finland go?"

Ghemk stood up from the counter and walked to the window to point to the courtyard in the store.

"He went off to set off fireworks with that little guy ...... Oh!?"

The little guy he was talking about, Tassili, happened to come out of the courtyard and smiled gently at Ghemk and me.

I looked out the window and found that the old man was still there fiddling with something, "Where's Emile? She didn't help you guys with the promotion? I think it would have been better if she had come too, right?"

"I haven't seen her," said Tassili, pulling at his damp, sloping bangs, "I haven't seen her today."

...... Did she really just stay in her room and not move......

I put my black umbrella down on the counter and hurried to my room.

Once I pushed the door, there was no one in sight.

"Nah? Emile?"

I walked in and found a bulging pile on the bed.

--Emile was lying on the bed, covering herself tightly with the quilt.

"What are you doing ......"

Just then, another thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.

Emile's body trembled and covered the quilt a little more tightly.

"......"

Yah yah, Emile can use thunder magic but afraid of thunder.

"Nah," I sat on the edge of her bed and whispered, "don't be afraid."

"Hmm."

A muffled grunt came from inside the blanket, and Emile's body relaxed slightly.

I nudged Emile's hooded head with my fingertips.

"I'm back~~"

"Boom-"

She curled up in fear again.

Really ......

I took off my damp shoes, gently lifted her quilt and got in, wrapping her in my arms from behind.

"Good girl, don't be afraid, I'm back."

Her warm body heat just warmed my cold body.

"Well ...... cough cough, huh huh huh huh huh huh huh ......"

......Emile's voice seemed a little strange.

"Emile ......"

"Mmmm!"

Her voice was full of excitement.

"You ......"

She turned her face and looked at me with a smile, then suddenly opened her mouth and kissed my lips.

"Mmm!?"

Her sudden action overwhelmed me.

"Ummmm ......!!!?"

Emile ruffled her own silver hair, feeding her saliva into my mouth, holding me down with one hand and the other one teasing my chest.

"Emi...... Mmmm ......"

Her white, delicate hand embedded itself in the soft flesh of my chest, and a tingling sensation traveled from there down my sensitive nerves to all parts of my body.

Oh yeah, that one minute!

I can't believe I forgot ......

As my breathing became more and more labored, she released her mouth, exhaled softly, and then kissed my cheek.

"Emi......" I gently nudged her shoulder, "I thought we agreed to just ......"

"Just 'give me a minute'."

"Then ...... that too ......"

She nibbled gently on my cheek, her warm soft lips and teeth sliding down the curve of my neck to my delicate collarbone.

"Ee-yah ...... wait......"

She took me tenderly into her arms and was about to open her mouth ......

"Woof-woof-woof!!!"

Eh ......

Emile and I both froze for a moment.

Big White suddenly materialized and barked at a black shadow that flew past the doorway.

"Shit!?" Emile stood up in anger, "Who dares to ruin this moment!?"

With that, she straightened out her clothes and ran towards the door -

Me and Big White followed closely behind.

By the way ......

Did Big White just make a dog bark?
