Right after Yato had fainted, Lina placed his head on top of her lap and sat down while leaning on a tree .

So this is the so-called lap-pillow .

She felt slightly excited from letting him sleep on top of her lap . Since both Saya and Karen said that they have already done the same thing to Yato, Lina was hoping to get a chance to give him a lap pillow as well someday .

H-He’s face is pretty close…

Although Yato’s face was directed in a horizontal direction, Lina couldn’t help feeling nervous from the short distance between her and him and kept on staring at his face .

An angel holding a man in her arms while sitting and leaning on a tree inside a forest . With the sunlight illuminating their surroundings, that place would have most likely turned to be renowned as a painting .

Unfortunately, instead of enjoying the scenery, Lina’s mind was full of completely different thoughts .

S-Should I stroke his hair…

Yato’s thoughts were filling her mind to the point that she couldn’t focus on what’s surrounding her . The more she gazed at his face sleeping peacefully, her desires swelled up further . Finally, she reached her limits while looking at him sleeping tranquilly to a suspicious point and approached her hand to him .

“J-Just a little bit…”

Slowly and deliberately, Lina approached her fingers to Yato and touched his hair . She flinched at the moment she touched him, but eventually, she got used to the sensation and started to gently stroke his hair .

The feeling of touching his hair resembled to that of touching an animal for the first time; Lina let out a voice of admiration as she sparkled her eyes .

“It’s pretty silky . ”

Surprised by the unexpected silkiness of Yato’s hair, Lina continued to stroke him as she began relaxing . At that time, Yato didn’t seem to her as a human who had the ability of G.o.ds . But contrary to his normal looks, the abilities he conceals within him are unimaginable for anyone who doesn’t know him .

This guy, he made me go through many things in the past .

Who knew that their first antagonized relations.h.i.+p would turn into a friendly one where they eat lunch together or even go to play at the beach . Lina’s common sense was overturned countless times since the day she first met him .

“I wonder what he is about to do after he wakes up . ”

Trying to guess what he is going to do next while gently smiling, Lina continued to brush his hair . The only thing she was certain about was that he will end up doing something beyond her imagination .

Well, maybe he can defeat her, after all…

She had that impression from the experience she acquired from spending a long time on his side . Scala is famous for breaking the rules of common sense, but Yato is no exception . n.o.body can predict the outcome of a battle between two people of that same type .

The instant Lina became certain of Yato’s victory, she got overcome by feelings of ease and unintentionally pumped a bit of strength in stroking his hair .

But still, this act of stroking Yato’s hair is about to become an addiction of mine…

The refres.h.i.+ng sensation she had from his hair made her forget about time until Yato suddenly moved .

“Nn…”

!!?

Instantly, Lina withdrew her hand by fright . A short while later, he moved to the other side again and went back to sleep .

W-What was that…?!

Since he turned to the other side, he faced Lina’s abdomen this time . Due to that, his breathing reached her directly and she could see his face better . Apparently, the elation she received from that was a bit too strong .

I-I can see his face better now…

Lina blushed while fixing her gaze on Yato’s face . Again, once she got used to him being this close, she went to stroke his hair by approaching her hand, However, Yato’s unconscious moves stopped her from doing so a second time .

“Nn…”

“Hya!?”

This time, Yato enclosed Lina’s abdomen in his arms and buried his face inside her . His breath, warmth, and pressure; they all reached her from her belly .

Lina raised both of her arms after letting out an confused scream .

W-What is he doing all of a sudden!?

Unable to scream loudly in order to not wake him up, she shouted in her heart .

How did we end up in this position!?

Lina’s mind couldn’t function properly anymore from the blended feelings of happiness and embarra.s.sment and her face turned bright red .

H-He’s too close… I can feel him breathing…

Since his face was buried inside her belly, she could feel his breathing reaching her through her clothes .

W-What should I do…

Unable to make any move, Lina looked around her aimlessly while still raising her hands up . Yato’s sleeping face was in the bottom of her field of vision .

T-This isn’t bad too maybe… what am I saying!?

She shook her head trying to get rid of those thoughts .

Why did I end up like this…?

When she ran out of ideas, Lina looked up at the sky with her cheeks still reddish . At that moment, Yato muttered ‘hugging pillow’ under his breath, but Lina couldn’t hear it as her mind had already stopped functioning at that time .

————————————————————————————

The first thing I felt after waking up was that the ground was somewhat soft .

“Nn?”

When I opened my eyes, a familiar color design filled my field of sight . What is this? I feel like I already saw it before…

As I narrowed my eyes, trying to remember where I saw that design, the person who was wearing it suddenly moved .

“How long are you planning to stay like that?”

Suddenly hearing a voice from above, I s.h.i.+fted my eyes to look up and saw Lina’s displeased face glaring at me .

Why does she look mad?

I raised my head from Lina’s lap and sat down .

“My bad . Did Scala do something?”

“She didn’t notice our presence yet . She shouldn’t have gone too far since I could still hear her going berserk . ”

Listening to Lina’s explanation, I gazed at the distance while vaguely responding to her . It took me a bit of time to realized that her face was completely red .

“Lina, are you feeling ill? Your face is red . ”

I asked her directly while still sitting down, then approached my face to hers . Lina shook her head horizontally while denying in panic .

“It’s nothing! Don’t mind me!”

“But, your face; it’s red . ”

“I said it’s nothing!!”

Pressed by her firm denial, I drew back and changed the topic . I heard her muttering something about me making her remember, but I still didn’t have the least idea of what happened to her .

Well, she looks fine from that reaction .

I stood up and went directly to check my new skill . 【Tension Magic】, it’s a magic that controls the intensity of people’s emotions . It could s.h.i.+ft people’s mood the way that I desire .

It doesn’t seem like a great skill from just that, but that is not its only function .

The more this skills raises the tension of one’s mood, the skills of the target increases in power as well . It’s like having one’s motivation raised makes them exhibit abilities beyond their limits .

On the other hand, if the tension decreases, the power of the skills decreases in proportion . The target will become enable to exhibit the same power they are used to have usually .

If I’m not wrong, Scala’s skills are mainly based on her emotions . Maybe I can use this new skill to block her from using hers .

Once I grasped the way to use 【Tension Magic】, I s.h.i.+fted my eyes to the thing that had been in my mind for a while now .

Skill creation (with restraints)

It can create any skill I have in mind . Depending on the skill I want, the exhaustion of magic will different, but if I create a skill that’s not related to magic, my own magic will dry up instantly .

In other words, It’s a minor upgrade of 【Magic creation】 . On top of magic, I can now create pure skills as well . The downside is that once I use the created skill, it disappears . So I have to be careful when using it .

Now, time to replenish my magic . I turned to ask Lina who was still sitting down to share some of her magic with me .

“Lina, can you share some of your magic with me? I ran out of it completely after creating the new skill . ”

When I asked her, she didn’t respond immediately . She was staring at the void with blank eyes until she suddenly reacted .

“N? Ah? What? What happened?!”

“Nothing, I just asked you to share some of your magic with me… are you really okay?”

When I asked her with a seriously worried gaze, she bashfully averted her eyes and took out a small bottle from her pocket .

“D-Drink this then . ”

“What’s this?”

I received the small bottle from Lina . inside it was a green liquid that looked like poison . I instantly knew what it was .

“Is this a potion?”

“Not exactly . It’s a magic recovery medicine . You should recover all your magic from drinking it . I antic.i.p.ated this turn of event and brought it with me in case . ”

I opened the recovery medicine and drank it . Surprisingly, it’s taste wasn’t bad . It felt as if I was drinking an energy drink .

After taking one gulp, I sensed magic increasing within me .

“Alright, I can do it now . ”

“You’re going?”

“Yeah, I can’t let that woman alone for too long, after all . ”

I can hear her crus.h.i.+ng things from this distance . There is no time for me to take it easy here .

Hearing my answer, Lina gave me a little warning .

“Be careful . Scala-sama must be pretty angry now . ”

“I know . ”

After listening to her warning, I started walking towards Scala before halting my steps suddenly and turning back at Lina .

“Lina, do you have another recovery bottle?”

“The magic recovery medicine? Yeah, I do . What are you planning to do with it?”

“I just thought of a little something I can do . ”

Lina didn’t understand what I was implying, but I just kept revealing mischievous grin while looking forward to the soon future .
