Ais adjusted her small backpack while they walked through the first Floors, she was thankful that Bell carried most of the stuff they needed so she was freer to fight. He even offered her to carry her backpack too but that was something Ais wouldn´t allow since...her clothes were in the backpack and...her plushy. She had problems sleeping without her new plushy and she couldn´t just hug the real Bell...

She hadn´t thought about how to hide the plushy when they were going to sleep but maybe she could wait until Bell had fallen asleep before she took it out. The other problem was her underwear, normally Ais would just use the underwear she always used in the dungeon...but she had gotten advice from Tione that made her troubled.

.

.

.

.

"Ais, you will be alone with the boy you like...you have to use underwear that he might like if he happens to see you in them."

Tione and Tiona had noticed very fast that Ais was in love with Bell...maybe due to her question if they had an idea what to do when you were in love.

"Why that? Bell is...not supposed..to see it?" Ais tilted her head, confused.

How do I explain this to an airhead... Tione frowned.

"Why wearing underwear? Just go commando!" Tiona grinned.

"Absolutely not! Think about who you are talking to!" Tione smacked her sister.

Ais was the "princess" of the Familia, their little one, she was way too innocent for something like that.

"Tione? I don´t intend...to show Bell...my underwear...that is... embarrassing..." Her cheeks got a bit red.

"You shall not show him...it is just in case he sees them by accident. If you two are alone in the dungeon, there is no one that can protect you while bathing."

"Can´t I...bath with Bell?"

Tione sighed. This girl...

"Why not? Bathing with Argonaut sounds fun!"

"Ais...remember when he saw you bathing once?"

"Mmmh!" Her cheeks got more red.

"See?"

"But if...he promises to not look...that would be...okay?"

"Why did we jump from him not seeing your underwear to him bathing with you? Ais you haven´t even confessed to him...you are not supposed to bath together, yet."

"W-We aren´t?!" Ais looked shocked.

"No...that is a few steps ahead you know?"

"Ack!"

"Wait...you wanted to bath with him?"

"Mmmh...I mean...if he doesn´t look...why not?"

Dear gods...how can she be so innocent...I hope Riveria had "the talk" with her...

Tione doubt that Bell would try anything...lewd...on Ais, but better safe than sorry.

"I don´t understand either...and what if he sees her naked? Wouldn´t be the first time." Tiona looked confused.

Amazons had an other understanding of shame and like her sister, Tione didn´t care if someone saw her naked...except the guy she was in love with.

"Tiona...think about Ais´ feelings..."

"Oh you mean because she loves Argonaut!"

"Mmmmmhhh!" Ais started to squeal and hid her face behind her hands. "D-Don´t yell that out loud..."

"But wouldn´t it be perfect to tell him that you love him when you two are alone? Make some nice memories with him in the dungeon, maybe he can even help you learn swim on the 18th Floor."

"Irk..."

Swimming was a complicated theme for Ais...but maybe with Bell´s help...

"I...will..see..."

Ais wished she could have asked Lefiya too, Riveria couldn´t give her any advice since she was glooming into her room. She wanted to be part of the talk for Ais, to make sure that everything on the quest would be chaste, but Tiona had...dealt a critical blow accidentally.

"Huh, why that? I thought you have zero experience with love and men?"

Never before had Ais seen Riveria making such an expression...well except one time when they were in Melen and Riveria had seen the swimsuit that Loki had prepared for her.

.

.

.

.

.

Her friends wanted to help her very much but it only raised Ais´ troubles. Thanks to Tione and Tiona she thought about asking Bell to bath with her and show her how to swim...

I didn´t even want him to see my underwear! I want to bath with him...but I don´t want him to see my skin...but Riveria said it´s okay when I love him...hauuuu..

The thoughts circled around in Ais´ head and made her feel dizzy, it was so much that she even turned around what Riveria had told her. When Ais thought about how to ask Bell to bath with her,

Riveria felt a chill running down her spine...like a bad feeling, she wanted to rush into the dungeon this very second to be the Chaperone for the two, freshly in love young people.

Ais...stay safe...stay chaste...Bell Cranel...I trust that you have no indecent thoughts...

.

.

.

"Ais?"

"Bell?"

"Does the quest give some information about where we should search?"

"All the information was "Maybe a Floor with many green..."

"Hm...but it is before the 20th, yes?"

"Yes, the exact location is unknown."

"Well, thats why we are searching for it."

"I´m happy that we do it together."

"Me too, Ais."

Somehow it felt different to be called by her name by Bell...it made her happy.

"Hmmm..."

"Ais?"

"Mmmhh..."

"Ais?"

"Hnnnghmm..."

Bell thought he saw small steam clouds coming out of Ais's head while she racked her brain over something.

"Ahm...A-..is?"

"Huh, eh wha?"

"Are you...thinking about something?"

"Hmm...Bell?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think...it would be...indecent...to bath together?"

"Huh?! Where does that come from?!"

"The others said something but...everyone had a different opinion."

"B-B-Bathing together? Why?!"

"You...don´t want to?" She tilted her head.

"N-No, I-I mean...y-yes I would l-love to...but how..why...from where do these thoughts come?"

"So you...want to bath with me?"

"A-Ais...I th-think we sh-"

"Then it´s decided." She beamed all over her face...her troubles had just been solved.

Aaah! That smile! So bright!

Now Bell thought how it just came that he promised Ais to bath together with her.

What is happening?

On this quest, he would experience the wonders of traveling alone with his beloved airhead.

While they continued walking through the first Floors, Ais thought about something else.

Hmm that about underwear...it would be embarrassing...but when should I show them Bell?CURSIVE! Her cheeks grew more and more red. Why do I have to show him, Tione?

Back in the Loki Mansion, Tione felt a chill running down her spine.

"Wait! Did I tell Ais it is only in case of accidents and that she isn´t supposed to do it herself?!"

Tiona shrugged her shoulders. "Don´t think so, but I doubt she would do it."

"It is Ais we are talking about!"

"Oh oh..."

Riveria looked up when she heard Ais´ name. "What are you two talking about?"

"*Gulp*"

"*Gulp*"

This was the problem when they talked to their innocent airhead...Ais was too pure to understand most things the twins talked about.

"What did you tell Ais?"

Even Tione shrunk down when Riveria used that kind of tone.

And soon after...

"Noooo! My little girl's purity is in danger! Let me go!"

Even Finn was needed to hold Riveria back from running into the dungeon.

.

.

.

Freya frowned.

"I wonder where Ottar is with my water...how long does he intend to keep me waiting for a single glass?"

One of her female servants slowly walked towards her. "My lady, is there anything you wish for? Are you thirsty?"

"I am thirsty, but I asked Ottar to bring me some water."

The servant was startled lightly by Ottar´s name. "O-Oh if you asked him, I´m sorry for intruding in that manner like that..."

"Have you seen him? I´ve been waiting for quite a while now."

"Oh ahm..sir Ottar just got his equipment together and left, Mylady."

"What do you mean?"

"I don´t know why, Mylady. But he seemed rather upset."

"I see...you can go now."

"Yes, Mylady."

Freya was in thoughts when she was left alone.

"Why would he leave the house just to get a single glass of water?"

.

.

.

.

Lady Freya, I will not disappoint you. If you asked me instead of a servant then that must mean you don´t want ordinary water. I will find this special water for you!

But it seemed the dungeon wanted to hinder Ottar in his holy quest, and more and more monsters came running towards him...little did he know that this was actually a monster train that followed some low leveled adventurers.

Without knowing it, while he struck down the monsters in annoyance, Ottar saved the adventurers from getting killed.

"OUT OF MY WAY!"

Soon it wasn´t adventurers that cried out in terror, but the monsters. The strongest adventurer in the world against low-level monsters was just...unfair.

.

.

.

.

Bell let his gaze wander around, they had reached their first destination, the 10th Floor. The only hint they had was "A Floor with lots of green". From the upper Floors, the 10th to 12th were the greenest, so they would have to search them completely.

It was a good thing that both had such a high level, so not one monster here was a threat to them and they could continue talking normally while they struck down the monsters with easy swings.

They were lucky enough to find a group of low leveled adventurers that followed them in a distance and picked up the magic stones from the monsters. The adventurers were allowed to keep the stones since Bell and Ais had other things to do than stuffing the backpack.

"Hehe..."

"Bell?"

"I just remembered, how you saved me here on the 10th Floor, back then."

"Oh, that." Ais smiled lightly. "It was really hard to catch you these days."

"I-I promise I won´t run away from you anymore."

"That´s good."

"Oh, Bell now that I think about it..." While she talked she sliced two big Orcs in half. "How was your life before you came to Orario? You said something about living in a village when we were searching for your goddess."

"It was peaceful, we tilled the fields, took care of the plants, harvested when the time was right...and I spent time with my grandfather."

Even Ais had enough experience with people to notice the small sad shine in Bell´s eyes.

"Bell...may I ask..."

"Hm?"

"What about...your parents?"

"I don´t know...or remember them...my grandfather told me that something happened to them when I was still very small."

"Oh..sorry...for asking."

"No, it´s okay...Firebolt!"

Bell raised his left hand and destroyed the head of a young dragon that counted as a Floor boss on these three Floors. In the past he had needed his Argonaut Skill for the first time to do that...now he could simply use his magic like that.

Frome time to time he glanced at Ais when she was moving more to strike down monsters, the sight of her bare back with her usual outfit...was nice.

"Beautiful..."

"Bell?"

"N-Nothing!"

The fog on the 10th Floor wasn´t that thick, but it would get worse on the 11th and on the 12th. On the 12th Floor, the visibility was under ten meters sometimes. Also due to the environment and the fog, it was always a bit chilly down here, but not to the

grade were it got unpleasant.

"Ais, aren´t you cold in the fog?"

"No, I´ve encountered worse."

"Hehe...you and your Familia really are amazing."

"Thats really kind of you Bell."

Ha..Ais...I want to tell you...so badly...

While he looked to their left, an Imp ran towards him from the right side. Without looking in his direction, Bell grabbed the Imp´s shoulder and pulled him forward, burying the Hestia Knife in its chest and dissolving it to ash. He didn´t do that to show off,

but with his strength, he didn´t need to pay so much attention to a single monster. And since he was better at finding things and carrying the big backpack, Ais moved around more and slayed monsters.

I wonder what´s in her backpack that lets it bulge so much...

One time he could have sworn he saw something like a long white ear coming out of the backpack top before Ais stuffed it back in.

Normally they would be much faster with moving through the 10th Floor, but because of their quest, they searched in every corner. The group of low-level adventurers behind them was more than happy with that, they would have never earned so many magic stones on their own since

it was only their second time on this Floor. They didn´t pick up the stones behind Bell and Ais out of greed, of course, they were valuable but it was a rule among adventurers to not let many magic stones lie around, or irregular monsters could emerge.

"It doesn´t look like we will find the spring here."

"Yes, let´s move to the next Floor."

It took them three hours to search through the whole Floor. They waited a few minutes until the group caught up to them and started to pick up the stones, they stopped to count how often they had thanked them.

"We will move onto the next Floor and then further down." Bell talked to their leader.

"We have to thank you so much, Rabbit Foot, Sword Princess, we will fall back now, we won´t risk too much. Thank you again for letting us keep all this."

"No problem, have a safe trip back."

Soon after they were alone again, Bell as all too happy to have Ais alone for himself.

Ha...do I dare it...will I... no Bell...don´t get too hasty, you don´t know if Ais loves you too..

The 11th Floor wasn´t much different from the 10th except for a few new monsters and the fog got thicker. But on the 12th Floor...

"I can´t see much here..." Ais waved in front of her face, the fog was so thick that they only could see a few meters.

For lower-level adventurers, this Floor was pretty dangerous and Bell remembered his first time here well enough. Since the fog was so thick and the visibility was only a few meters, it was difficult to orient yourself.

And since it was fog, moisture settled on clothing, equipment, hair, and skin. An Adventurer didn´t get sick fast, but getting wetter and wetter would cause a cold over a longer time and it was unpleasant. At least the temperature wasn´t very high,

it would feel even more unpleasant if it was hot and wet.

"But I guess we can evade monsters more easily now, I think we should continue to search, we are down here for hours already." Bell wiped the wetness from his forehead.

Unpleasant as it may be...the sight of Ais´ skin covered in that wetness, let Bell blush...especially her nape when she bound up her hair.

It was a good thing that they knew this Floor so well, even with this thick fog there was no danger of getting lost. And due to the fog, they could move faster without getting the attention of too many monsters. Thanks to that, Bell wasn´t able to see Ais´ expression.

I don´t like this Floor...my clothes are all wet...even my underwear...

Sometimes it had its benefits that she wore a skirt...sometimes not.

I want to take a bath...

But Ais was a grown-up girl so she didn´t wail and they kept on searching until they were finally done after three hours... To their luck, from the 13th Floor downward they could use the big holes to move faster down and the Goliath hadn´t spawned again.

Nine hours after they went into the dungeon they arrived on the 18th Floor. If they had gone down here normally, they would have made it in under an hour.

"Bell?"

"Ais?"

"I´m tired...can we continue to search tomorrow?"

"Of course, I think we should set up our camp."

Her smile made all the searching worth it.

"So Bell...do you want to have dinner first...take a bath...or...would you...have...me?"

In an instant blood rushed into Bell´s cheeks and he couldn´t become more red. "A-A-A-Ais?!"

"What is it?"

"W-w-w-what a-are you s-saying?!"

"Tione told me I should say it like that when we are tired from the day and will set up our camp...was that wrong?"

"D-Do you know what that meant just now?!"

"To have dinner with me or bath together?" Ais tilted her head, confused.

Ais is an innocent airhead! Ais is an innocent airhead! Ais is an innocent airhead!CURSIVE!

"Ha...no it´s okay...that Ms. Tione...I guess we should take a bath first."

"Okay, come."

"Ah..Ais I.."

"Bell...you promised..." She looked at him with puppy eyes.

Hnnngh!

Thankfully Ais was still confused about what to do with Bell around when she was alone so Bell could convince her to sit back to back in the water. But the sounds of Ais´ moving body and the image in his head were too much for the poor boy. One part of him

wanted to look at her, the other just couldn´t.

But it wasn´t just difficult for him, Ais really enjoyed her bath and that Bell kept his promise, but she was also embarrassed about sitting together with Bell in the water, naked.

This is so difficult...what am I supposed to do...I want to bath with Bell...but if he sees me naked...haaaaaa!

Both were equally red in the face.

"Bell...shall we go out?"

"Yes, I will go first."

But...Ais lost to her curiosity...she dared to glance over her shoulder...Ais had never before seen a naked guy...her Familia had protected her from that so far.

Oh, Bell...those...scars...

Bell´s left arm and his back were covered in scars, he was mostly healed from the incident on the 37th Floor, but Amid told him it would need a while to remove most of the scars...but also that he would keep a few.

Ais felt sorry for him...she had a guess how much that had to hurt...

In the next moment, she hastily covered her face behind her hands as Bell arrived at the shore and leaned down to grab his towel, he lightly turned around in that movement and Ais saw...it.

Hiiiiii!

Without knowing why exactly, Ais got extremely embarrassed...this wasn´t something that a pure, innocent Maiden was supposed to see...especially before confessing her love to him.

"Ais? I will leave, you can come out."

"Mh!"

"Ais?"

"I-It´s okay!"

I have seen Bell naked...and he saw me in the past...now we have to marry!

By that thought, Ais smiled.

.

.

.

.

Both were pretty tired from all that searching and after enjoying their dinner together, they decided to go to sleep. At first, Bell demanded he would sleep outside and Ais should use the small tent they had alone...but Ais was stubborn and did something that Bell had no

chance to win against...she pouted.

My heart is melting...

Soon it wasn´t his heart that got hot but his face again, Ais and he were kneeling with their backs to each other while they changed into their sleeping wear...later he would ask himself why

he just didn´t change outside of the tent.

"Bell?"

"Y-Yes?!" His voice was pretty high.

"Please don´t turn around now..."

"I won´!"

"Okay."

.

.

.

Both lied back to back with some distance between them, Ais had promised that to Riveria. They talked for a while about various things, but Ais couldn´t stop thinking about Bell´s scars.

While they had changed, Ais had glanced over her shoulder again, this time her face didn´t get hot since she was focused on his scars. Something in her heart wanted her to touch his back with her hands...to comfort Bell and tell him that everything was okay.

She knew wounds like that, and had her fair share of them over the years...but only over the last months due to Bell and her friends...Ais started to understand how much that meant. That it

wasn´t just part of being an adventurer...but the horrors of being one, and to see that pure, innocent boy getting scarred so badly...

"Nnh...Mmm..."

Ais opened her eyes again, she heard noises from the other side.

"Bell?" She only whispered.

"Nnngh...no...please..."

She frowned and slowly started to turn around, Bell was tossing and turning himself around, his expression was twisted. Various expressions washed over his face...anger, fear..hopelessness, sadness..and many more.

"Bell?"

It hurt her heart to see him like this...was he like this every night?

Does he have a nightmare? From the 37th Floor?

Ais hadn´t asked Bell what happened down there..she just knew it was bad. He continued to roll lightly around and move his hands...maybe to grab something?

What shall I do..

In the past she often had nightmares herself...still had them to this day...when that happened then, Riveria...

"Bell..I´m here..."

She reached out with her hand and slightly touched Bell´s hair, but he only shrieked and tried to get away from her, startled. Ais made a sad face...just how could she help him to calm down..waking him up wouldn´t help since it would be the same

if he fell asleep again.

"My poor Bell..."

He rolled onto his back and kept turning, so much that his shirt came up and revealed his chest, thankfully there weren´t any scars there. An idea came to Ais´ mind...there might be a way to calm Bell down.

"Breasts...Bell likes...breasts..."

Ais often noticed how Bell glanced at her chest when he thought she wouldn´t notice...he really had to like them, after all, Lefiya had told her that every man always tries to see breasts..and that Bell had to be like that too.

So she got up to her knees and took her sleeping shirt off, revealing her naked upper body to the air.

"Bell...I´m here.."

As gently as possible, Ais leaned forward and gently lied down on Bell, her chest pressed on his, the effect was amazing. Bell immediately calmed down when her soft body touched him, Ais smiled lightly and looked into Bell´s calming face.

She was happy to be able to do something for him...and it felt nice to touch his body with her own. But she was a bit surprised, the moment her breasts touched Bell´s chest, a jolt ran through her body...a very pleasant feeling she never had before.

"Nnh..." A small sound escaped Ais´ lips as Bell moved a bit under her.

She hadn´t thought about it before but now she noticed that their legs were lightly entangled, one of Bell´s was between her legs and vice versa. Ais was so pure and innocent that the thought it was something lewd she did right now didn´t even come to her mind.

But now...how do...I sleep?

Ais was confused, she hadn´t thought that far and didn´t want to leave Bell or he might have nightmares again. What made it only worse...her eyes wandered to his lips.

Kissing...Bell?

Her heart started to pound more and more the further she leaned down to his face, it was a good thing that he was asleep.

She moved her face a bit to the side and placed a very soft kiss on his cheek. "Bell...I love you...good night..."

The moment she softly kissed his cheek, Bell smiled in his sleep.

Ais lay down on Bell´s chest and buried her red face in his neck, before she closed her eyes, Ais glanced at the bunny plushy on her side...somehow it looked at her as if she was cheating on it...

Just for a moment, she shuddered when Bell put his arms around her, placing his hands on her bare back. Even without a blanket that covered them, it was really warm in the tent. Sleeping like that felt really good for her...even more with the skin contact.

Bell´s hands on her back felt incredibly good for her..but she was relieved when he stopped moving his hands on her back...somehow she felt...weird...because of that much skinship.

Ais didn´t know that, but she granted Bell his first good sleep in weeks...and good dreams about hugging a cloud.

.

.

.

.

Ah...so soft...and warm...what a nice pillow..

Bell felt just good, he hadn´t had such a good sleep in ages...and he woke up so gently...it was just great.

A nice dream...I still feel like I´m hugging something warm and soft...did that blanket ever feel so good?

He moved his left hand a little bit and enjoyed the feeling in the palms of his hands, he held the right still, feeling something soft with it...maybe his own tigh since it was lying down on his body.

"Mmnh.."

A soft noise came from near him...slowly he remembered that he shared the tent with Ais.

Hm...maybe she is waking up..

Bell didn´t know if Ais was a long sleeper or not.

Strange..it almost feels like...back with Ryu...when I was...hugging her...

His right hand twitched lightly and he felt his pillow...shudder? Bell´s left hand started to wonder along his blanket...it felt really good...and somehow the blanket shuddered again.

"Mnnh!"

I have to be quiet...Ais is...waking up..

He tried to remain as still as possible but it wasn´t easy since he felt his blanket or his pillow pushing against his crotch...and due to a morning phenomenon of men...that was a bit tight.

Bell moved his hips a bit to get a better position, but his blanket didn´t move somehow.

"Be..ll...nnnnh..."

Ais whispered softly on the other side of the tent...in his hazy mind it made him happy that he was her first word of the day.

"Not...there...please...it is...too soon...for us..."

Hm? Is she dreaming about something?

He shuddered lightly when he felt breath against his neck.

Wait...breath...on my...neck?

Slowly he started to notice the weight that was pressing on his body. His eyes blinked multiple times while he woke up more and more, it was still dim in the tent, it had to be early morning.

Gently he started to turn his head to see the sleeping Ais, but her bedside was empty.

A...is?

Something tickled his nose lightly and he looked down...to see golden hair blocking his view.

Eh?...Hair?...How?...

Bell moved his left hand upwards something very soft and gently touched the golden hair...whatever lied on him shuddered again by the movement of his hand, he felt whatever his right hand groped, shaking.

"Ahn..."

He moved his left hand through the hair and slowly his mind got clearer...that was Ais´ hair...and...her...body...on...his...body...

Eh...

His eyes widened in shock as it finally got through his hazy mind, Ais was lying on his body and slept like that! Bell raised his head a little bit, she had buried her face in his neck, that was why he could feel her breath on his skin.

He saw her naked back and now realized...both had bare upper bodies and Ais´ chest was pressed onto his.

What a heavenly feeling...

More and more information came to him, his right hand lying down on her body and...groped her butt...inside her sleeping pants...in a reflex, his hand twitched again and Ais...

"Aahn.~~"

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I-I-I-I!

His brain started to overload.

WHY ARE WE SLEEPING LIKE THAT?!

Ais's naked breasts were pressed onto his chest, her warm soft body snuggled against him, his left tigh pressed into her crotch...and her right leg against his...morning phenomenon.

Oh dear gods no! H-H-How did this happen?!

The first thing he did was as gentle as possible...pulling his hand away from her butt.

"Nnh!"

Please don´t make such noises, Ais!

He looked at his raised right hand, opened and closed it repeatedly...he had...groped...her butt...

It was...so soft...

Now he realized what his left hand was stroking was...Ais´ bare back.

Ah her skin...so...soft...

When the body on top of him started to move, Bell froze. The feeling of naked skin on skin was almost too much for him but that it was Ais´ skin...her bare body...nearly let him faint.

He saw how the head rose and turned slightly so that he was looking into Ais´ sleepy face soon. She blinked a few times and smiled lightly.

"Bell...good morning..."

"Good morning...Ais..."

"Ehe...you feel...so warm..."

He was startled when she snuggled more against him.

"Eek! A-Ais...h-how,..did this...happen?!"

"You had...a nightmare...Ahn!...Bell..please don´t...move so much...it feels...weird..."

Please...don´t let her notice...what I did..with her...butt...and my...

"Bell...something´s poking me..."

EEEEEP!

"S-Sorry..."

"Bell..." She rubbed her face against his neck. "Did you sleep well?..."

"Yes..."

"Ehe..I´m glad...so you really...like breasts..."

"E-Eh?!"

"You always...look at them...so I thought...you could sleep better...like this..."

Sh-SH-SHE SAW?!

It wasn´t like Bell was ogling at Ais all the time...but he loved her very much and couldn´t help but glance from time to time at her curves...and she had noticed that...

I want to sink into the ground and diiiiieeee!

He didn´t understand how it came to this situation, Bell was all too happy to go on a quest with Ais but neither did he intend to bathe together with her, sleep in the same tent, or wake up to such a sight!

Not that he was completely against it...

"Ais?..."

"...N...Yes?..."

"Are you...mad? I...didn´t intend...to do this..."

"Why should I...be mad..."

"I-I mean...touching you...and all..."

Instead of answering, Ais started to move her body up, pulling her legs close so that she got into a kneeling position over Bell´s hips. For the first time this morning, he saw her face really in the small "sunray" that fell through the tent entrance.

She was still half asleep, that much he could see...but seeing her smiling face the first thing in the morning...the day was already good.

"I´m not mad...Be-huh?"

When she was sitting up...Bell couldn´t help but notice her bare chest...it was as if his eyes were glued to these two mounds...and one part of his body reacted to the sight. That was what Ais had felt...it poked her again.

"Bell...what is this?"

"N-Nothing!" He covered his eyes with his hands.

Ais looked confused down...now her hazy mind noticed what she had forgotten. With bright red cheeks, Ais covered her breasts with her hands and squealed lightly. Hugging Bell while he was asleep was one thing...but showing him her naked body...was something else.

"Bell...please don´t look..."

He dared to glance slightly between his fingers...but he only looked at her abashed face...and burned this expression into his mind.

It was the most embarrassing morning that Bell Cranel ever had.

But it was a wonderful morning.
