Edens Zero, Sakura Cosmos, X492
"You want me to do what, Witch?" Shiki Granbell, the official Captain of the Edens Zero, asked the titled Shield of Edens, Witch, uncertainly after she had given her request first when the two of them were in the ship's throne room alone.
Pressing her mechanical fingers together in embarrassment, Witch eventually reiterated. "I wish for the two of us to play the part of a romantic couple, if you'll agree to it, Demon King Shiki."
Scratching the back of his head in bewilderment, Shiki replied. "Why do you want us to do that, Witch? I hardly know how normal girls work, let alone dating a Woman Machine." Holding his hands up to calm Witch down. "Don't get the wrong idea. We're still friends, but don't you think this is a bit out of whack?"
Witch bowed her head in understanding. "I know, but for a long time, I have been curious about such relationships." She then blushed. "And you're admittedly the only applicable life force I trust in full for the role."
Thinking about it, Shiki soon gulped at the intensity of the moment before ultimately nodding as he sat on the throne. "How will we do this?"
Smiling in gratitude, Witch approached him closer as she said. "First, close your eyes, and let me see what I can do."
Doing as he was told, Shiki was soon surprised when he felt something soft touch his lips and a rough kind of thing entering his mouth as it played with tongue. Nonetheless, holding on to Witch, he kissed her back with much feeling. Once they pulled away, the green-haired Witch smiled at her Demon King flirtatiously.
"I believe you're just as curious about dating and such as I am, my Demon King."
Shiki smiled widely in anticipation. "Yeah, I guess I am. What's next?"
Witch hummed in delight as she played with her black dress. "Perhaps another adventure?"

By the looks of things, I'd say that I have the louche honor of being the first person to write an Edens Zero romance short/lemon that involves Shiki with a different female character. And a curvy robotic character of all things, too. I kind of wanted to wait until I got word on whether or not Witch has a name to go with her designation, like Sister Ivry, but you know how things get. I know that I said in one of my earlier EZ one-shots that I wasn't certain if the series was ready for us fans to make more pairings than what seems to be expected at the moment, given Shiki's sheltered lifestyle and Rebecca's prominence, but I did what I could because I wanted to.
