After the two of them exchanged plenty of body warmth, they separated.
「…Ah, ahaha. Somehow, that"s quite embarra.s.sing.」
「T-that"s true, huh. Thinking is making it come back.」
「S-so anyway, Lily-san」
「Just Lily. You"re banned from using "san".」
「Eh, ah, u…um, Li-Lily」
「Fufu, what is it? Lapis♪」
「Mu, Lily-sa… Lily is mean.」
Lapis pouted and turned the other way.
Seeing that, Lily was unable to restrain herself and hugged her lover from behind.
「Fufu, sorry, Lapis. I was just a bit excited.」
「…That"s fine,」
Facing forward, Lapis softly gripped Lily"s hand. Time gently pa.s.sed by.
「…somehow, its also good. Times like these.」
「I agree. I was just thinking how being with a loved one is such happiness.」
「Y-you"re saying some embarra.s.sing things right now.」
「Hehe, this is payback for earlier.」
Lapis giggled and stuck her tongue out.
Lily thought that that casual gesture was cute.
「Ah, speaking of which, the majik circle that Lily made, what kind of magic tool does it make?」
「That"s right! I"m really proud of this one! Look, look!」
Saying so in high spirits, Lily separated from Lapis and faced the desk.
Lapis was slightly -no, quite disappointed, but thinking that from now on she"d be able to flirt as much as she wanted, she didn"t show it on her face.
「Tda!」
「No, it only looks like a clay pot, so I don"t know.」
「Ah, that"s right. Anyway, this is an automatic rice cooker magic circle, engraved on a clay pot!」
With sparkling eyes, Lily continued.
「When I saw Lapis cooking with the clay pot, I thought that it looked like a big ha.s.sle. With fire, isn"t it a pain to strengthen or weaken it? But! If you use this pot, after adding the rice and water and then cover with a lid, in only 30 minutes you"ll get cooked rice!」
With sparkling eyes, Lily continued.
「Of course, you must add the correct amounts of rice and water, and be careful, since it creates heat while running, but the time and effort will decrease, and more than anything, I can also help cook! Ah, from now on, everyday I can eat rice. Somehow, if I say so myself, I made an amazing invention! How is it, Lapis? It"s awesome, right!?」
「…Ah, yeah. It"s awesome. Really awesome.」
「What an indifferent reaction!? Why!?」
Replacing her previously sparkling eyes, Lily had unbelievably teary eyes.
「Um, I really do think that it is amazing though? But, I was thinking that Lily really talked a lot. Rather than the surprise of the majik circle, that surprise won…」
「I-is that so…」
「Ah, but, seeing a new side of the person I love made me happy. Also, thank you for this pot. I"ll use it every day.」
With Lapis"s smile, Lily"s tears abruptly stopped.
「Fufu. That"s right, this magic item needs a name. Do you have any ideas?」
「Even if you suddenly say that… since it"s a device that cooks rice, how about 『Rice Cooker』」
「! That"s good. Compared to what I was thinking, 『Magic Rice Bowl The Second』, that is easier to say.」
「…Lily, your naming sense is bugged.」
Lapis muttered that she didn"t want to know this other side of Lily. She ignored the matter of the First and almost spoke some abusive words.
「Then, why don"t we quickly try it out? Lily already ate the rice we had earlier.」
「It couldn"t be helped, since it was delicious. Honestly, I feel that I ate too much」
「It makes me happy to hear that, but… won"t you get fat?」
「I"m fine. I have a body that won"t get fat, no matter how much I eat.」
「…」
「Don"t silently glare at me. It"s scary.」
「…You don"t get fat when you eat, you"re forever young, you have silky skin, smooth blonde hair, a pretty face, and your style is perfect… You"re every woman"s enemy」
「That every woman"s enemy is also Lapis"s girlfriend.」
While Lily laughed and smiled, Lapis became bashful.
As if to dodge the statement, Lapis began to work.
「M-maybe I"ll make something more complex for dinner.」
「What are you making?」
「Um, it"s called 『Tenpura』, it"s a nationally liked dish from the eastern island country.」
「Eastern island country again! I"m already a huge fan of the eastern island country.」
「Me too. Sometime, I"d like to visit there once.」
「Then, let"s go there on our honeymoon ♪ soon.」
「Ehehe, that sounds nice. I"ll be looking forward to it♡」
The figures of the two of them peacefully laughing seemed like a well-matched couple that had been together for however many years.
