Is it wrong to enjoy a lap pillow from a genuine loli?

Little Haruhime and I were in front of a lit bonfire inside one of the storage houses in the bandit camp, she shamelessly sat beside me making up an excuse muttering that it's warmer and comfy beside me.

I'm magnanimous so I just let her be.

She took a bite off a barbecue I purchased from my system shop savoring the taste of the meat ignoring the oil dirtying her face.

I sighed at the sight.

Purchasing a towel in the shop I approached her then gently cleaned the oil stain on her face before throwing the towel on the fire after I was done using it.

I'm currently filthy rich so I must act as one.

"You better take care of yourself, kid." – I said giving her a head pat as I return to my own food.

"You're also a kid." – She retorted.

"I'm not." – I replied as a matter of factly not even bothering to look at her.

"You can go lie to yourself."

She said as she returned to her own meal.

I just ignored her.

I might be a kid but that's only on the outside, on the inside I am an eternal teen.

The night has yet to come but due to the tick and cold fog encompassing the entire mountain camp it's very cold.

I wasn't affected by the cold in the slightest but the same cannot be said to my cute little fox companion seated beside me.

This brat is a bit sneaky she kept on closing our distance.

Ignoring her actions for now my mind wanders to the marvel of my system's shop function.

The shop function sure is useful, a couple of points is enough for me to purchase a bunch of food and items.

I have enough origin points to feed an entire village for a month not to forget I also have Karma points that have a conversion rate of 1 karma points/1,000 origin points.

I can probably feed an entire country for years without a problem with this amount of money.

(Common food only costs 1 to 10 points in the shop.)

…

[Shop]

Karma Points: 155,000,000 + 414

Origin Points: 18,890 + 25,000

…

'Rafael-chan, what's with the additional 25,000 in the origin points?' – I asked out of curiosity after noticing something that shouldn't have been there.

[You were busy earlier so I haven't informed you that you've triggered a quest.]

'A quest?'

[Yes, a quest, do you want to see it.]

'Obviously.' – I retorted.

…

[Quest]

Defeat the bandits.

- 72/72 bandits [✓]

Rewards:

- × 1 Golden Quest Ticket

- 25,000 origin points.

…

Golden Quest Ticket

- A special ticket that is able to generate S, SS, SSS and World rank quests.

*Warning*

Quest taken from the golden ticket will result in a diverging timeline.

…

My eyes sparkle after reading the description of the item I received.

I summoned the item in my hand.

A golden ticket similar to a ticket given to the children that was given the chance to enter a certain chocolate factory.

The difference is that my ticket only has a single written thing in it and that is.

[Quest]

Haruhime noticing something shiny in my hand just gave the ticket a glance before ignoring it.

She had already grown accustomed to me doing absurd things here and there, she also respected my privacy so she didn't bother questioning me.

Before she requested for me to stop reading her mind I got to read that the reason why she did not want to question me even though she's curious is so that I wouldn't get annoyed and leave her behind.

I feel bad for her.

I knew a bit of her past from the anime but interacting with her in real life is so much different.

Moreover, she's the complete opposite of her character in the anime, the Haruhime in front of me is much-much stronger.

Closing our distance I extended my hand on her back as I gave her a tight and heartfelt embrace.

"You've been through a lot." – I said while stroking her long smooth golden hair.

She gave me a confused look.

Ugh.

'This idiot fox, this was supposed to be the moment where you cry in my arms after I console you.'

I thought, feeling betrayed.

Haruhime was so focused on eating that she didn't hear my words.

She even stopped sneaking close to me.

Now it seems like I am the one trying to act sneaky here.

...Hmph...

I snorted in a bit of displeasure.

Forget it let her be.

I let go of her hair.

But the moment I did let go her mood seemed to have dampened.

I stroke her hair back and her mood instantly brightens up.

I moved out my hand again and it dampened down again.

I returned my hand back and she was bright again.

I was speechless, is this some sort of phenomena.

[You seem to be having a dilemma.]

I heard Rafael-chan's voice.

'Help me here will you Rafael-chan.'

[Give up and relax.]

...Eh...but...

[NO BUTS. You've just arrived in this world and you already overwork yourself, don't forget that you're in a child's body. Also didn't you want to have a carefree life.]

[Just relax for now and let the adrenalin rush calm down.]

"BUT"

[Stop acting stubborn, even though we just become partners I have already become an integral part of you so I knew you very well.]

Kai wished for her to act more like a person than an AI so Rafael complied.

Normally she wouldn't interfere with her host actions but due to his own desire to have a companion that would reprimand and support him Rafael was forced to interfere.

[You desire to grow strong to find your mother in this world cuz she reminded you of your previous life's mother because they look exactly alike.]

"…" – Kai has nothing to say.

She inherited all of Kai's memories she even knew that somewhere out there in the infinite universe there's a carbon copy of her hosting Rimuru Tempes.

While she did not know what her partner is feeling right now cuz she is still at the beginning stages of trying to comprehend the phenomena called emotion she could tell that he is in great pain and worry.

But she must act even if her host despises her for it she must stop him before he breaks himself.

[You might be able to fake it but I knew that your emotions are currently in great turmoil. You're very unstable.]

She must convince him to stop for now and rest no matter what.

"OK"

Rafael-chan is really something to be able to see through me just like that even though I did not let out any hint of sort.

[I suggest you relax a bit and calm down…]

[Wait]

[What]

[Did you just agree with my suggestion.]

'I don't like to worry about Rafael-chan. I will follow your suggestion.'

I said as I laid down on my little fox's thighs.

Now that I've calmed down a bit I realized that I've become restless and knowing the reason I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I didn't bother asking for her permission as I put myself into sleep.

'This is payment for the food I gave you.'

I thought.

Now that I've calmed down a bit I realized that I've become restless and knowing the reason I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Zzz

Haruhime looks down at the now sleeping Kai with dumbfounded expression and her cute mouth agape.

Snapping out a blush immediately creeped on her face, she thought of pushing Kai away but as her hand was about to touch him it stopped.

Her hands subconsciously stop just right before his head, a gentle smile then can be seen on her cute face before it was replaced by a pout.

She second thought of pushing Kai away out of mischief but decided to shrug the notion to the back of her mind.

'He really does look like a doll and a cool doll at that.' – She thought, stroking Kai's silver blue hair that reflected the bright light of the moonlight coming from the outside.

It's already night time.

Taking notice of the moonlight she looked up at the open window above the roof of the warehouse they were in and there she saw the beauty of the blue moon illuminating the land giving her a peaceful mind.

She closed her eyes moments later she also fell asleep, following Kai in the dreamland while the latter was on her lap snoring silently.

…

The next morning I woke up on the lap of a genuine loli with fox-like features.

Oh, what a beautiful morning.

I blink thinking that this is all a dream.

But as time passed by it stayed the same.

…Huh…

Is this not a dream.

I pinch my cheek and I felt a bit of pain.

…Gulp…

Realization dawn upon me.

I quickly stood up in panic when memories of the day resurfaced in my head.

I let out a sigh as I looked at the sleeping Renard.

'I thought it was all a dream. To think I really did reincarnate in the world of Danmachi also while possessing abilities of a Primordial True Dragon and a Chaos Creator. I can also use magic now, I even have Escanor's Sunshine at my disposal even though it's a weaker version, for now.'

'Everything should have been perfect if only I possessed their power and not just their ability but things would also lost meaning if I were that overpowered.'

'Either way things should be ok for now.'

I really need to thank administrator-chan but she did not even give me her name.

Well her reasoning sounds convincing even though it sounded absurd.

At that time it wasn't really my place to doubt her.

I have the feeling we will meet each other someday and at that time I'll surely returned the favor.

…

[Good morning, partner.]

I heard Rafael-chan's stoic voice in my head.

'Oh, Rafael-chan confirms it. This is not a dream.'

[You haven't hit your head, aren't you. Or little Haruhime's lap is that good that you thought this was all a dream.]

'I can't deny that it's good. Yep, Haruhime's lap might be the culprit.'

[Culprit to what exactly?]

'Forget it, it's nothing.'

She acts more human now than a robot and this only happened in a day after being together I can't wait to see Rafael-chan in a separate body.

[Hey, were you thinking about something rude.]

'Nope that's just your imagination.'

Thankfully, Rafael-chan cannot read my mind unless I allow her to do so.

…Hehehe…
