"Witch..."
"Hmm?" Ash, who was tasting the strawberry on top of the cake, blinked and saw Sonia, with a dazed look, trying to regain consciousness.
"Should we call the witches in?" Sonia asked softly.
"Why are you calling them?"
"Aren't you joining us tonight?"
"They didn't come in," Ash said, "so we should just accept their kindness with a clear conscience."
"But the witch definitely wants to come in. Look how much she's looking forward to it tonight. You kept Vichy in a state of disarray this afternoon, and Visser has been building the kingdom of heaven without a break these days..." Sonia said, "You should also take care of their feelings."
"I'll make it up to them." Ash said, "Tonight is your turn. I want to enjoy some time alone with my partner once in a while."
Sonia shook her head: "Okay, but it's not necessary. We've always been together anyway, and that's the way we can both be happy together."
"Something's not right," Ash tilted his head, "Sword Princess, why do you insist on asking the witches to join in? Could it be that... you're not interested if no one's watching you? So perverted, I like it!"
"I'm not as perverted as you!" Sonia said unhappily, "I just think... it should be fair."
Ash blinked and suddenly moved closer to Sonia, forehead against forehead.
"I see, you have a fever." Ash said solemnly, "No wonder you have a problem with your brain."
"Have you ever heard that the Six-Winged Lord can have a fever!?" Sonia's mouth twitched: "I'm not saying anything bad. You can obviously make everyone happy, so you shouldn't be partial... Don't you want everyone to be happy?"
"I do want fairness, and I do want everyone to be happy." Ash smiled, "But that's my business, why are you thinking about it for me?"
"I just want to be partial to you tonight. I just want you to be happy." He turned off all the lights in the room with a flick of his finger and chuckled, "I want you to meow with joy."
In the pitch-black darkness, Sonia felt so warm that her entire body and soul were enveloped in warmth. She felt so safe that her brain didn't even want to work anymore and she could only let out a soft snort.
"No wonder you've been acting weird all day, it turns out you have a fever."
"I told you I don't have a fever," she retorted lazily.
"You're obviously very excited," Ash snorted, "You've been ignoring me all day, just to enjoy yourself after abstaining from sex until now? I've seen through you! I'll make you meow!"
Sonia was speechless for a while: "Generally speaking, this situation should be called indifference rather than abstinence, right? Are you a little... too confident?"
"If it was a year ago, I would have thought you were cold, if it was half a year ago, I would have suspected you were cold, if it was three months ago, I would have also guessed you were cold." Ash said in a brisk voice, "But now, even if you say you hate me the most, I will only think you are being coquettish. Even if I suspect that the direction will deviate from the arrow, and the sunlight will deviate from the sun, I will never doubt whether you love me deeply."
"Haha, you are scared, right? You can't get rid of me now. I am the supreme master of magic, and I am destined to entangle you until the end!"
Sonia held onto Ash's back tightly with both hands. In the darkness, she bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes misting with tears. Her voice was gentle but firm, and she said decisively, "I hate you the most."
"But don't think about getting rid of me." She seemed to be singing, her voice intoxicating and touching: "I will entangle you forever."
Ash smiled and said, "That's the best love talk."
"There's something even better." Sonia stuck out her tongue and gently licked Ash's earlobe.
"Meow."
... ...
...
Snapped.
After being kicked off the bed for the third time, Ash finally woke up, thinking that Sword Lady was really irritable when she woke up. However, he still refused to open his eyes, climbed onto the bed and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Sleep a little longer."
"Okay~"
Three minutes later, Ash suddenly opened his eyes and felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and saw not blood-red hair, but long snow-white hair. The petite girl in bunny pajamas curled up in his arms, smacking her lips as if she was dreaming about something delicious.
It's a witch!
And she's a witch in the form of a little girl!
"Witch?" Ash was stunned and shook her: "Why are you here?"
"Ah?" Liz rubbed her eyes, looking confused: "Dad?"
Ash was struck by lightning, and rolled off the bed in horror, his voice trembling: "Lis, let Diya come out and talk."
"Here I come." Diya sat up and stretched, and asked sleepily, "Is it time for lunch?"
"When did you come to Sword Princess' room?"
"Ah?" Diya was also confused: "Isn't this my room?"
Didn’t the witch come here herself
Ash heaved a sigh of relief. He thought the witch had sneaked in last night to start the Witch Paradise, and used a trick of "When did you have the illusion that you were not in the Witch Paradise?" In fact, the Witch Paradise was nothing, but the limit that Ash could accept was the witch in the form of a girl, and he had to block Liz. When he saw Liz in the form of a little girl early in the morning, Ash was shocked.
But since the witch didn't come here herself...
Ash's expression became more and more strange, and Diya finally woke up: "Hey? Ash, why are you in my bed?"
"You continue to sleep, I'll wake you up for lunch."
"Then I'll make an appointment for a wake-up service!" The witch fell asleep.
... ...
...
At the border of the ancient battlefield and the Sky Garden, Sonia was fine-tuning the environmental parameters of the two domains, observing the various responses of the flow of magic to the environment. However, she was a little absent-minded, staring at the sky from time to time.
"Call me to help you braid your hair."
Suddenly, Ash's voice rang out from behind, and Sonia felt her hair, which she had tied up, fall apart. Ash also brought a comb, and after tying a beautiful high ponytail, he was quite satisfied and walked around Sonia a few times.
"Are you up so early?"
"The witch kicked me off the bed three times, I have to get up." Ash complained: "It's strange, her sleeping posture was not so bad when we slept together... Is it that Liz is the only one with a bad sleeping posture, and Diya sleeps normally?"
"You can do morning exercises even when you wake up." Sonia said casually.
"This is your fault. Your fighting power is so strong after turning off the lights. I don't have a drop left anyway." Ash spread his hands: "And the witch is still in the form of a little girl. I even suspect that you are trying to frame me."
"Do you really care about this? I thought you were a trash can that accepts everyone..."
"Just have a little more confidence in the person you like!"
Ash complained a few words and then stopped talking, but he didn't take the initiative to find a topic, nor did he leave. He just sat on the stone next to him and watched Sonia. It seemed that because of the supervisor, Sonia's work speed suddenly increased, and she concentrated on adjusting the environmental parameters of the two domains. After about an hour, new varieties of weeds and shrubs gradually grew on the edges of the two domains.
During the whole process, Ash didn't say a word. He just supported his chin and looked at Sonia, as if he could look at her forever.
"It's almost lunch time." Sonia finally stopped and said cheerfully, "Let's go back."
"Um."
"What's wrong with you?" She came over, bent down and looked at Ash, blinking her eyes: "Do you need anything from me?"
Ash glanced at her, thought for a moment, took out a cigarette box from his space ring, knocked out two cigarettes, and handed one to her.
"This is… ?"
"Death Maniac's cigarette." Ash said, "When I merged with them, she deliberately smoked it with my body once, saying that this was her favorite flavor, and you should like it too."
Just as Sonia was about to light her own cigarette, she saw Ash coming over with a flame on his fingertips. It was obvious that he often lit cigarettes for the dead maniac. But Ash didn't light it for himself. Instead, he held the cigarette in his mouth and came over to light his own cigarette with Sonia's cigarette butt. The tobacco crackled and burned, just like kissing through the cigarette.
The two of them started to smoke, and Ash asked, "How is it?"
"Very comfortable." Sonia said softly, "It's definitely the type I like."
"But I won't give it to you. I'll only let you smoke one on special occasions. I still don't like the smell of cigarettes when kissing."
Sonia glanced at him, turned her head and said, "It's time to go back."
"Don't you want to ask why now is a special time?"
"Not really. I'm a little hungry."
"Then you go back and eat first. I'll sit here." Ash said faintly, "I won't leave until you are willing to talk to me."
Sonia tilted her head: "Why are you suddenly upset?"
"Am I being sulky?" Ash looked at the snake-like smoke rising from the cigarette butt. "Yesterday I thought you were acting weird because you were jealous of Freya. I didn't expect you to be so excessive this morning—"
Sonia spread her hands: "It's my fault this time, okay? Next time I will be more careful and wait until the witch returns to her girl form before moving in. I didn't expect you to be so angry—"
"What I said was not too much for me, but for yourself!"
Ash stood up and looked at Sonia, with a rare anger on his face: "Although I don't understand the hearts of girls and can't guess what you are thinking, but even I understand how uncomfortable it is to move another woman to your lover's bed! Even if she is your best friend, even if I am your favorite lover!"
"Why are you torturing yourself like this?" Ash was very confused: "What did I do wrong that you are torturing me? Why are you torturing yourself?"
"You misunderstood." Sonia said helplessly, "I just thought that you were free this morning anyway, and I didn't need you anyway, so I let the witch take your place and maximize your role. You're exaggerating what torture is or isn't."
"Really?"
"Really, it's that simple," Sonia spread her hands, "You are a trophy we share, the atmosphere regulator of the team, and we don't know how many times we have fooled around together along the way. How could I have emotional fluctuations over such a small matter? I'm used to more extreme things than this."
Ash looked at her seriously and nodded slowly: "Okay."
"Then let's go back and eat—"
"I'll go back and tell them that this month is your turn, and I'll stick with you this month." Ash said, "I don't know what you're thinking, but since you insist that I be with them, then I'll just do the opposite."
Just as Ash was about to take off, his sleeve was pulled. He turned around and saw Sonia looking at him with a complicated expression, as if she was resentful, sad, moved and happy. Her ruby eyes were filled with turbid waves that he could not see clearly.
"What do you want to do?" she asked softly.
"Isn't this obvious? I'm different from you. I'm a very easy-to-understand magician's manual." Ash said calmly, "I just don't want to see you torture yourself."
"Stop it..." she sighed.
"What?"
"I said stop it!"
Sonia suddenly grabbed Ash by the collar and pulled him in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes: "I'm willing to help you start a harem, what else do you want? Why do you have to consider my feelings now? Why do you always go against me every time I make up my mind? Why are you always so... so..."
As she spoke, tears were streaming down her face. She let go of my hand and stumbled back, covering her face with her hands, her voice filled with tears: "I'm sorry, I... I think I still... messed up... It's only been one day..."
Ash was confused by Sonia's sudden outburst. Seeing her retreat, he subconsciously reached out to grab her, but missed. Sonia used the Heaven Phase to instantly teleport to another place, leaving only a confused and ignorant Labrador.
He looked at his hands and muttered to himself: "What did I do wrong?"
Diya, who was hiding in the back watching the show, immediately replied: "No intimate wake-up service is provided."
Vichy followed up: "Breathe."
"Let me make it clear first," Weisser said, "Until you, Ash, coax Sword Princess into submission, we dare not get close to you."
