Night arrived again. A crescent moon rose in the pitch-black night sky, illuminating the starry sky filling the heavens. Looking up, one could clearly see the beautiful galaxy.
As expected of the Einzbern castle far from the city center.
"How long has it been since I quietly appreciated the night sky like this?" Meruem sighed alone, lying flat on the grass in the Einzbern garden.
Different from this heartless guy was a certain Ahoge King pacing back and forth nearby.
"KING, are you sure they will come?" Artoria stopped not far from Meruem, looking at him seriously.
"Artoria, please, this is the fiftieth time you've asked me. Don't worry, they will definitely come as invited." Meruem finished speaking and grabbed her small hand, pulling her to the ground to sit flat with him.
"W-What are you doing? I'm just worried that tonight won't go well." An answer that didn't match the question; for some reason, the Ahoge King had become incoherent.
But to be able to call the Ahoge King by her name so intimately, what exactly happened between the two?
"Hai hai..." Gently patting the top of the Ahoge King's head, he tenderly stroked her smooth golden hair.
"If they don't come, I will definitely make sure you enjoy yourself tonight too." Meruem emphasized a certain word with a smirk.
"KING." The Ahoge King had a dark face, her expression unreadable, yet her right hand slowly drew an invisible sword.
Murderous intent. Meruem keenly sensed something, yet Meruem continued to lean closer to the Ahoge King as if courting death.
"Say that again and I'll cut you!" The Ahoge King's blushing face looked almost ready to drip water.
I didn't expect My King to be able to turn dark while being shy; truly cute.
"Hehe." A certain shameless guy covered the Ahoge King's arms with his hands, his thumbs gently rubbing the back of her smooth hands.
As expected, a cute girl's hands are soft even on the back.
"Then I won't say it... can I just do it?" Meruem's warm and wet breath sprayed onto the Ahoge King's face from behind, tickling her.
Seeming to recall a certain crazy night, the Ahoge King's face turned even redder.
"D-Don't think too much... that was just for normal mana transfer. Yeah, no other meaning." The Ahoge King pretended to be calm.
However, that was actually her first time; that experience... cough cough.
"Hai hai... normal mana transfer, normal mana transfer." Meruem nodded and answered, yet his body scooted towards the Ahoge King again.
Meruem was behind Artoria, his hands still covering her arms.
From the side, the two were almost pressed together, as if Meruem was holding her.
"KING, you are too close." Turning her head away, she deliberately didn't look at Meruem.
"Sniff sniff... smells really good, very nice." However, what the Ahoge King didn't expect was... the other party was actually shameless enough to approach the neck she exposed by turning her head, and sniffed like a dog.
The Ahoge King wanted to struggle free, but her strength was practically non-existent before Meruem, who had A+ rank strength.
"Really too close, and this posture is uncomfortable."
The Ahoge King suddenly had a flash of wit and said.
"That means changing the posture would be fine~" The result seemed to be counterproductive.
Meruem was seen picking the Ahoge King up completely.
"KING, what are you doing?"
The Ahoge King continued to resist; resistance failed.
Although the Ahoge King seemed to struggle fiercely, she actually didn't use much strength at all.
It was more just shyness.
What do you mean My King doesn't get shy? She's not a robot, how could she not.
Placing the Ahoge King's body on his own outstretched legs.
Meruem's hands extended from behind the Ahoge King's back, reaching out from under her arms to hug her abdomen.
A very intimate way of hugging.
And his head rested lightly on the Ahoge King's shoulder, looking level at her cheek.
Almost touching.
"How is this posture? I feel very comfortable."
Ahoge King: "..."
Ahoge King: "If RIDER and ARCHER saw this..."
"What does that matter? It's consensual."
"KING, I am a King."
"Uh-huh, so am I."
Felt impossible to communicate; their thinking was completely not on the same channel.
"It's not that I can't let go of you." Suddenly Meruem looked at the face close at hand and said.
Hearing his words, for some reason, the Ahoge King, who had tried every way to pull Meruem away before, felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
So much so that her tone became increasingly unhappy, slightly coldly saying, "How will you let go?"
So they say, women... sometimes saying yes won't do, saying no won't do either.
Anyway, it's all your fault.
"Eh, jealous and unhappy?"
"No..."
"Kiss me once, and I'll let go."
"!!!!"
"It has to be a deep kiss, tongue too... Ow ow ow, don't bite!"
The two were in a playful tangle.
Such intimate contact, perhaps this was something Artoria had never done before.
"Thank you, KING." With messy hair, the Ahoge King looked at Meruem very seriously; those emerald green eyes were so beautiful. "I'm not so nervous now."
"No no no, don't change the subject. Seriously, I haven't gotten the kiss yet, okay?" Someone pounced on a certain cute ahoge creature again.
Changing the subject failed, ORZ.
"Mmph." Just as the Ahoge King wanted to say something else, her words were blocked back by someone's lips.
The two maintained this posture. Meruem didn't move around, quietly feeling the other person. The Ahoge King felt the kiss lasted a century.
Until a certain ahoge idiot forgot to breathe, ending up with a face flushed red from lack of oxygen.
"Little idiot." Although reluctant, Meruem still temporarily let the Ahoge King go.
Finger gently tapped on the Ahoge King's forehead.
"Mmph!" The Ahoge King puffed up her cheeks angrily, bun-face style.
Rare indeed, for My King to make such a cute gesture. Really should have taken a picture!
If possible, I really hope to stay a while longer. Meruem thought while stroking the Ahoge King's smooth hair.
But that world needs me too.
I've stayed here too long.
A rare moment of peace tonight.
Because soon, this place will become a battlefield.
