chapter 304 - Departure
“I told you… to be gentle!”
Adele lay panting on the cabin bed, next to the equally breathless Dorothy.
Dorothy’s face was flushed with post-coital bliss.
Adele hugged her slightly bitten breasts with a little grievance.
She didn’t know why this idiot was so obsessed with this… inadequate part of her.
Also, Dorothy, did you plan this!? Your nails are so neatly trimmed, it didn’t feel strange at all… as if they were meant to be there.
Adele was also completely messed up by Dorothy’s technique, which she had apparently learned from online tutorials. Of course, the proud Adele would never admit this.
What impressed Dorothy the most was when she tried to go deeper and add more fingers, Adele, panting and trembling, still tried to act tough.
“H-how about I… use one finger!”
“Is that all? Mmm…mmm!”
Even when she was almost at her limit, Adele still stubbornly cried out,
“Is… is that all…”
And then, naturally, Dorothy bullied her even more.
So… why did she do this to herself!?
Or did Adele have some special kink?
That shouldn’t be the case.
Anyway, this entanglement in the dark night finally came to an end.
Adele and Dorothy pressed their sweaty bodies together, feeling the ambiguous softness.
As expected, even a beautiful girl’s sweat was fragrant. And Dorothy and Adele could clean themselves with magic at any time, if they wanted to. Clearly, both Adele and Dorothy enjoyed this atmosphere filled with each other’s scent, their breaths mingling and intertwining, feeling as if their bodies were separated, but their spirits completely fused.
Having just done something strenuous, and it being very late, both Adele and Dorothy were now in a state of blissful satisfaction and drowsiness.
“How about… we sleep~”
“We just slept, and now you want to again… so greedy!”
“But if Dorothy really insists… I’m not against it…” Adele mumbled shyly.
A blush crept across Dorothy’s face.
Fortunately, she remembered that Adele’s body was delicate and probably couldn’t withstand another round… And it was indeed very late.
Adele had to go back to school tomorrow and would be tired from the journey.
So, Dorothy finally suppressed her growing desire and corrected Adele,
“Not that…”
“I mean, let’s rest, Adele?”
“Eh…”
Adele finally realized that “sleep” also meant rest.
…Shouldn’t “sleep” originally just mean rest!?
What’s going on in your little head, Adele!?
Of course, Adele herself also felt incredibly embarrassed.
So, she fidgeted with her fingers and argued,
“I… I know! I just thought, a lewd person like Dorothy must be thinking about lewd things again, so…”
“Forget it, forget it! Let’s sleep!”
As she spoke, Adele closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Dorothy didn’t refute, a sweet and gentle smile on her lips.
Adele could say whatever she wanted.
Anyway… she doted on her~
The small cabin at night, being close to the water, was a bit cold.
And without any bedding, it should be difficult to fall asleep.
Fortunately, Dorothy used area-of-effect magic to make the temperature constant and comfortable.
And Adele used the doll, Flower, as her pillow, solving the second problem.
What a vicious girlfriend…
Dorothy could only apologize silently to Flower in her heart.
After all, Adele was the priority now.
The two closed their eyes and tried to fall asleep.
But just as Dorothy was about to drift off,
Adele suddenly said, “Actually, I once thought we would ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) be sworn enemies.”
It was unclear whether she was lamenting the past or the present.
“…” Dorothy heard this and silently hugged Adele. But what she didn’t understand was that Adele was actually lamenting the ending that only she knew.
So, had she… changed that bad ending today?
………………
Finally, the day Adele had been looking forward to, the day she returned to school, had arrived!
Finally!
It wasn’t easy.
She had experienced so much in Twilight City, and also gained a lot.
Two harem members and… a daughter?
Adele couldn’t believe she was raising a daughter at such a young age.
But Xiao Ai herself was cute enough to overshadow any troubles that came with raising a child.
Not to mention that she was also very obedient and sensible, not annoying like other brats.
On the contrary, she was very likable.
Just like her Mama when she was young.
However, although likable, Xiao Ai wasn’t very enthusiastic towards unfamiliar women. Her eyes, from beginning to end, only saw Adele, her mother. Sometimes, when she saw Adele being intimate with other women, she would even show cute, sulky reactions.
For example, this morning, Adele summoned Xiao Ai to introduce the little darling she had “secretly brought out” from the Blood Secret Realm to Dorothy.
Although surprised, Dorothy easily accepted Xiao Ai’s existence and even enthusiastically prepared a rich breakfast for her. However, because her actions with Adele were a bit too intimate during the preparation process, Xiao Ai seemed to have lost her appetite during breakfast.
Unfortunately, neither Adele nor Dorothy noticed this, thinking the little one simply had a small appetite. However, Xiao Ai’s sullen mood instantly brightened when Adele gently kissed her little face and urged her to turn back into the blood jade.
Then, Xiao Ai obediently transformed back, concealing her aura, undetectable to anyone. Adele carried her, returning to Twilight City with Dorothy, preparing to leave through the teleportation circle. It was worth mentioning that although Adele hadn’t made any deliberate arrangements, when they arrived near the teleportation circle, they found that the girls had already gathered there spontaneously.
There were Celeste and Sharon, who were going back with Adele, Hermione and Edith, who had to stay in Twilight City for the time being, and Kaiser and Wofoo, the two newly acquired “wings,” the key pieces completing Adele’s harem’s physical combat faction. It was worth mentioning that upon seeing Dorothy beside Adele, Kaiser’s eyes trembled violently, like an earthquake. But because of Adele, after calming herself down, she finally overcame the aftereffects of being completely defeated by Dorothy and didn’t run away on the spot.
Dorothy was still merciless towards her, even after Adele’s explanation. She gave Kaiser a stern warning with her eyes, telling her to behave and not do anything that might harm Adele. Kaiser wanted to retort that she wouldn’t… but she gave up. She preferred to prove it with actions rather than words.
Finally, there was Wofoo, the little wolf with pale hair, hiding her face in the shadow of her hood, hiding in the crowd, probably at the very back. Perhaps she felt that her strength, appearance, family background… or the time she spent with Adele, their bond, were far inferior to the other girls. So, Wofoo acted unusually timid.
But to everyone’s surprise, when Adele came to her waiting harem, everyone expected to be the first one Adele interacted with intimately, but even Wofoo herself didn’t expect that she would have this honor.
Adele threw herself into Wofoo’s arms, almost putting her entire weight on her, her light hair flying.
Wofoo almost fell from the impact. But if that really happened, she would be too embarrassed. And Wofoo didn’t dare to let Adele fall because of her.
However, at that moment, Wofoo didn’t think about anything, couldn’t think about anything.
Her mind was like an overloaded CPU, about to overheat and explode. It wasn’t until Adele lifted her hood, revealing the werewolf girl’s delicate and exotic face under the daylight moon, that Wofoo panicked and called out Adele’s name shyly and nervously. “Ad-Adele…!”
“Why do you always cover your face?”
“You’re so cute~” As she spoke, Adele reached out and pinched Wofoo’s cheeks, pulling them into a bun shape.
The other girls smiled kindly.
This was the first time Wofoo had enjoyed such attention. She didn’t know what to do. But the soft touch on her cheeks and the throbbing in her heart told her that this wasn’t a dream, but reality.
An overwhelming sense of emotion made Wofoo’s eyes sore, as if she was about to cry. Seeing this, Adele stopped her sternly.
“Don’t cry!”
“Otherwise, I’ll be unhappy!”
“…I-I won’t cry.” Wofoo quickly blinked.
“That’s right, it’s just a short separation, silly.” Adele’s pinching turned into a gentle caress on Wofoo’s face. She even traced the tip of Wofoo’s canine tooth with her finger.
“Hehe, it’s a bit different from a Bloodkin’s. Like a crescent moon. A Bloodkin’s is usually sharper, more like a spike.”
“Remember, I’m studying at Cromwell Academy in East City.”
“If you have the chance, come find me in East City~”
“I’ll treat you well, give you the meaty bones you love!”
“…”
Although Wofoo wanted to say that it was dogs who loved meaty bones, she still smiled sincerely and nodded obediently, her wolf ears twitching. “Yes!”
Kaiser also mustered her courage and said,
“I… I’ll also go to East City to find Adele.”
“Because that’s one of the few important meanings in my life.”
Hearing this, Adele looked at her tenderly and mouthed, “Idiot~”.
Dorothy interrupted their loving gaze at this time.
“That’s enough.”
Her current mood was a bit like Celeste’s before, easily accepting other girls, but slightly wary and resistant towards Kaiser. But if it was like Celeste, then Dorothy would eventually accept Kaiser. This was Adele’s experience.
Adele released Wofoo from her embrace and came to Kaiser, giving her a warm hug. Kaiser indulged in it.
Although brief, she would cherish the lingering warmth.
It was worth mentioning that because they both considered each other’s height, this scene actually looked like Adele was standing on tiptoe while Kaiser was bending down significantly.
Dorothy gazed at this scene, still muttering something, but the hostility towards Kaiser in her eyes lessened.
Clearly, just in terms of caring for Adele, Kaiser had passed the initial test.
But now that she thought about it, she was still a little angry. That scoundrel Kaiser actually used that method to provoke her.
As a result, Kaiser was the one left with a deep psychological scar. And because of Dorothy’s performance in the Blood Secret Realm, the True Ancestors who supported her finally decided to advance their plan, crowning Dorothy as the new queen.
Although it wasn’t a formal coronation ceremony, but a public announcement at the banquet, in reality, the higher the power shift, the more secretive and private it was. And often, before the public announcement, all procedures had already been completed, including the transfer of power and the brutal suppression of opponents.
After a while, Adele and Kaiser’s embrace ended.
Then came Hermione and Edith, who also had to stay in Twilight City for a while. The girls whispered sweet nothings to each other, but they weren’t too sad. After all, this was just a short separation. It wouldn’t be long before they returned to school and continued their studies.
However, for Dorothy and Hermione, the next semester after the holiday would probably be their last semester at the academy. And Adele was still a freshman. She didn’t know what Dorothy and Hermione would do then.
No, Dorothy’s path was basically set.
She would study politics and become the Bloodkin Queen.
Then what about Hermione?
Would she return to the Bloodkin, or find a job in the human world?
Like becoming an agent of the Executive Bureau?
Such distant matters, Adele shook her head and stopped thinking.
Unconsciously, the teleportation circle’s activation time had arrived.
Adele, Sharon, and Celeste waved goodbye to the others, looking forward to their next meeting.
Standing on the vast teleportation circle, Adele’s gaze lingered.
She recalled that a lot of… memorable things had happened during this time. But she finally closed her eyes.
With the activation of the magic light on the teleportation circle, Adele instantly vanished without a trace.
