“Wait……, Elijah, just a moment.”
Rose, who had fixed his body so he couldn’t move, pulled out his hand. Transparent fluids clung stickily between his long fingers. Like having the candy he’d been sweetly sucking on snatched away, Elijah looked at him with blank eyes.
“I think they’ll hear.”
“So what if they do. It’s fine.”
“I don’t want that.”
Rose covered him with a thick blanket over his head.
“I want to be the only one who hears those sounds……, Elijah.”
How picky. Still, Elijah obediently covered his head with the blanket too. The thick blanket that had no use in midsummer swallowed the two of them. The round pile of blankets wriggled and squirmed.
Both genitals, slippery and wet with the fluids that had gushed out, were held in Rose’s large hand. Elijah, who overlapped his hand on the one stroking up the shaft, moved his hips.
“Ah, aah…… Hah, good, Rose.”
The midsummer heat that couldn’t scatter and had pooled filled the narrow space inside the blanket. Their bodies, sticky with sweat, stuck together with a smack. Inside the blanket where darkness had completely descended, only each other’s breathing and moans wandered.
“Elijah, ……Elijah.”
The lips that had fumbled and searched finally overlapped deeply. Rose’s moans rumbling low in his throat reached Elijah directly. The two trapped in their own world rubbed their bodies against each other ceaselessly and ran chasing pleasure.
“Hnngh……”
The trembling that had filled his lower body rushed all the way to the top of his head. Elijah poured out his moans freely into Rose’s mouth and trembled his body at the sweet climax. The tingling pleasure wetted between his legs thoroughly.
“Haah……”
The fluids that surged up clung to each other’s hands. Sweat that fell from the ends of Elijah’s hair ran down Rose’s cheek.
Sweltering summer. His whole body was sticky with sweat and his head was dizzy from the hot heat, but Elijah wanted to stay in this moment forever.
“Mmnh……”
He continued to move his hips. The sensation of his genitals being pressed against his lower abdomen, squelchy with the fluids he’d poured out, felt good.
“Ah……, hic, Elijah……”
Elijah wanted to see Rose’s face at this moment, so he threw off the blanket covering their heads. Elijah, who lightly bit Rose’s lips that were parted while letting out elegant moans, persistently observed his face.
Rose at the moment of reaching climax was more enchanting and beautiful than at any other time. Between his hair disheveled messily from sweat, Rose’s eyes flushed red could be seen. His eyes swept by the heat were pitifully sorrowful, and his cheeks dyed bright red were unbearably cute.
He really liked seeing this face looking up at him, loosely relaxed. It also felt like he was doing something bad to him.
His broad shoulders and chest rose and fell steeply with flushed breaths. Sticky sweat flowed down along the grain of muscles he didn’t know when Rose had developed alone.
“If you were going to like it this much, why did you refuse so much?”
Because that loveliness was excessive, grumpy words came out for no reason.
“……Do you like it too?”
Rose asked in a trembling voice. His eyes glistening with moisture had pupils greatly dilated, and dark red desire surged. Elijah kissed such a cheek of his.
“Yeah. I like it so much I want to do it all night.”
At his words, Rose, who faintly furrowed his brow, let out a powerless laugh.
“Then you won’t be able to hold out and will collapse.”
“No…… I can hold out for ten times, twenty times.”
“If you pour out that much, you might die.”
If it were up to him, he’d want to continue a hundred times, a thousand times. If it weren’t for classes, training, or external missions, he might really be able to do that.
“It would be nice if I could play with you like this every day without training.”
“Do you really want to do that?”
“Yeah.”
Elijah swept back Rose’s hair wet with sweat and added.
“Then I’d get scolded by Master.”
“……If Master isn’t here, it’s fine.”
“Days when he’s not here aren’t that common……”
Elijah, who arbitrarily gripped the hair that came between his fingers, straightened his waist closely and moaned softly. Sweet goosebumps rose at the sensation of Rose’s fingertips going down along his spine, and heat pooled below again. Ah, I want to do it one more time…….
Then, Rose called him in a low voice.
“Elijah.”
“Yeah.”
“……Should we run away from here?”
The heat that had been rising fluffily stopped for a moment. Elijah looked down at Rose with puzzled eyes. He thought it was a joke, but Rose’s expression was quite serious. His voice continuing to speak trembled minutely as if nervous.
“Run away from here……, and should we hide and live with just the two of us in a place where no one can find us?”
“Why?”
Elijah couldn’t understand why Rose was suddenly saying such things.
“Why should we do that?”
“……You said you wanted to play with me every day without training.”
“That’s true, but……”
Still, he couldn’t leave Master. It would also be regrettable to part with the peers he’d lived with. Since he’d never once thought of a life separated from them, Rose’s proposal sounded unfamiliar and dangerous to Elijah.
“Where would we live and what would we do?”
“……Wherever you want. Whatever you want.”
“I don’t really know about that……”
Elijah’s world was entirely the monastery, Master, and his peers. Of course, among them Rose was the most precious, but he was also part of this world anyway. He didn’t feel like abandoning all this world and saving only Rose.
“Do you want to leave?”
For a moment, Rose’s eyes shook briefly.
“If that were the case…… Would you follow me?”
“No. I’m not sure.”
“……”
“You’re my precious friend, and also the person I like most, but…… Since you’re suddenly asking something like that, I don’t know what to say.”
Rose seemed a little hurt by his answer. But it couldn’t be helped.
“The best thing would be for you not to leave, Rose. Can’t we just stay together like this, like now?”
“……”
“Master is the one who took us in. It’s also thanks to Master that you got this healthy. Even now, he continues to treat you whenever there’s time.”
His gaze that dropped down wandered in the air around Elijah’s chest. Elijah didn’t know what expression Rose, who had lowered his head, was making. His hand full of lingering attachment held Elijah’s wrist and hesitated.
“……Yeah. I just said it.”
His large body smoothly tilted and plopped into Elijah’s embrace.
“I won’t go anywhere if you don’t go.”
Rose, who buried his forehead on his shoulder, confessed in a low voice.
“I like you, Elijah. I don’t like anything else…… I only like you. Only you……”
Firm arms tightened around Elijah’s body. Elijah, trapped unable to budge in his embrace, momentarily let out a choked breath.
“Oof.”
“Ah, sorry…… I’m sorry……”
Rose hurriedly loosened his strength and apologized repeatedly. However, his arm muscles that kept tensing up twitched. Rose repeated crushing Elijah tightly in his embrace, then loosening his strength as if getting scared.
How strong must his strength be to struggle with controlling it like this? Elijah gently embraced him back and stroked his head.
“I like you too, Rose. I like you the most in the world.”
“Only me……”
Rose, who raised his head, looked at him. His red eyes glistening with faint moisture slightly contorted.
“Can’t you like only me?”
They were eyes that looked exactly like crying, but no tears flowed. Elijah just briefly kissed him and answered.
“Of course I only like you. If not you, who would I play with like this?”
He grinned and pulled Rose’s neck into an embrace and pressed their lower bodies closely together.
“Rose, in that sense, we……”
Even after pouring out so much, his untiring genitals gushed out clear fluids just from rubbing against each other.
“Want to do it one more time?”
Rose’s body, pushed powerlessly by his body, flopped onto the bed. Rose, who had stiffened with his lips firmly bitten, now gripped the sheets tightly instead of Elijah and just panted quietly.
Elijah looked down at him and rubbed his groin against the firm shaft. Long eyelashes trembled beneath his tightly closed eyelids as he occasionally swallowed suppressed moans. Elijah, who kissed over them, removed Rose’s hands that were gripping the sheets like a lifeline and made him embrace his waist.
“Just a little…… let’s do it just a little more, Rose.”
Running mindlessly chasing the pleasure he didn’t want to end, it was already dawn before he knew it. The flow of time had definitely become strange. It was so hot that his vision was a bit dizzy, but it seemed like it would be fine to only do this all day.

“We will soon begin a long journey.”
On a morning when the rainy season showed no signs of ending, Jade, who had gathered his disciples, said.
“Starting with the Northern Magic Tower, we will execute the traitors who have occupied the Four Directional Magic Towers and reclaim the Holy Relics.”
“Um……, what exactly do you mean by ‘traitors’?”
Iris raised her hand and asked.
“Those who have betrayed the country, robbed the rights of good people, and engage in plunder and riots.”
Clover, who was beside her, hesitated then said.
“……Those kinds of people have occupied the magic towers, but why aren’t the mages of the Royal Palace Holy Hall doing anything?”
“Because they don’t know yet.”
How could they not know? The mages of the Holy Hall seemed more incompetent than expected. His disciples, who had learned the principles of the world only through Master, accepted his words without any particular doubt.
“You are stronger and more excellent than any other mage in this country. If you execute the subversive elements who have occupied the magic towers, the Holy Hall will also highly value that achievement.”
“……What’s good about that happening?”
“You’ll be able to do everything you can do. You’ll enjoy wealth and glory as much as you want.”
