「Marsha-dono, I think we’re done here.」
I was so engrossed in the softness of his cheeks that I almost forgot that he was being punished, but Ryniel-sama stopped me.
Oops, I shouldn’t have done that. Wasn’t his nose too long…?
「Come on, Dylan. Apologize to Ryniel-sama.」
Dylan reluctantly approached Ryniel-sama when he urged me to remove my hand from his cheek.
「…Tch… my bad…」
It was said in a muffled, small voice, and in a very unfaithful manner.
「Dylan, would you like to be next in line for a cuddle?」
For me, this is nothing but a reward to be able to cuddle him without hesitation, but for Dylan, who is a kid and wants to act like an adult, it would be a very embarrassing punishment.
「Uhh, I–I’m very sorry!」
Perhaps my words had an effect on Dylan, who this time spoke up louder, and Ryniel-sama gently put his hand on Dylan’s head and said.
「Very well.」
Gently stroked, Dylan’s face turned bright red. Still, he didn’t shake off my hand, perhaps because he was sorry for what he had done, or perhaps because he was afraid of the punishment of cuddling. But I’m sure it’s not my imagination that he seems somehow happy.
「If you are a boy, you are supposed to protect women. You have to be gentle.」
It’s not a subject for pranks, Ryniel-sama reminds Dylan.
「Mmph… but…」
「But, what is it?」
Dylan opened his heavy mouth, as if he was reluctant to say it, but Ryniel-sama urged him to do so.
「The queen and Nee-chan don’t come to the orphanage very often… I thought you had come all the way here, but you were talking to the Knight-nii-chan and didn’t give me any help at all…」
「Well, about that, Dylan…!」
Oh no, what’s that? It makes my heart ache!
「I–I’m okay with it, but everyone else was looking forward to it, so for everyone’s sake…!」
It’s so cute I think my nose is going to start bleeding. I hold my nose but I can’t stop myself from getting excited.
「Hmmm, that is certainly my fault for keeping Marsha-dono to myself.」
「Right?」
「Yes, then I must apologize too. My apologies.」
Ryniel-sama bowed his head with a bow. Surprised by this, Dylan panicked.
That’s right. It’s not every day that Ryniel-sama, a nobleman, a knight, and an adult, bows down to Dylan, a child. I’m confident that I would be extremely upset the day Ryniel-sama bowed to me.
「Will you forgive me?」
「I–I’ll forgive you, it’s totally okay. So, look at me. I–I don’t want you to do that to me!」
How cute is Dylan, who is cringing. Oh, I can’t get enough of it.
「Dylan!!」
「Wahhh!!!」
Undeterred, I approach him from behind and hug him tightly.
「N–Nee-chan, I told you I don’t want to be cuddled!!!」
「I didn’t hear you. Besides, this isn’t a cuddle, it’s an embrace. An em-bra-ce!」
「They’re all the same—!!」
Dylan’s resistance, his face as well as his neck dyed bright red, was easily suppressed by me in my aroused state, and he was left to do as he was told.
「Urgh, let me go already—!」
「Ehh, I thought you wanted my attention.」
「That was wrong! Not only me, but everyone!」
Everyone, he say, but the girls are with Liam-kun, and the little ones are engrossed in storytelling with Myra-sama and Marie. The other boys were spying on us at first, but then they were swarming around the other knights.
「Oh well, well, now you’ve left me out of the mix.」
With the somewhat amused voice of Ryniel-sama in the background, Dylan and I continued our attack until Liam-kun returned with a flower kanmu and a flower ring in his hand.
「Stop rubbing my cheeks, you idiot—!!」
After that, Liam and Dylan got into a fight, and later developed a male friendship, but I won’t go into that.
To describe the situation at that time, these double cuties were precious. That is the only word I can use to describe it.
