Chapter 11

Since we're planning on leaving tomorrow, Eria-sama suggested we sleep early. However, after seeing her naked figure in the bath not long ago, I just couldn't calm my self down and I can't seem to fall asleep. My mind was able to clear off a little when the chief invited us for a small feast in his home, but after coming back to the same room as Eria-sama, it all came back the same. The memories of bathing together with her overloads my mind and I can't comprehensively think in any decent way anymore.

I don't really know if Eria-sama was simply teasing me, or if she was a natural airhead. Having her invite me in the bath like it's a natural thing to do, I start to doubt her. When she said she's covering herself up too, she did it with such a thin piece of cloth that she hid almost nothing with it. It was hard to talk to her when I can see a glimpse of her pink nipples peaking through the almost transparent cloth she says she was covering herself with. I barely could maintain my consciousness. I remember acting shameful in the bath, but I can't clearly remember.

"No, she said it was normal in her hometown to bathe with the opposite sex... maybe it really was just a friendly gesture from her," I whispered in thoughts.

I tried to convince myself that Eria-sama was smart enough to know the difficulties I'm having when she acts so unreserved towards me. However, as soon as I form comprehesive thoughts, my mind wonders off to the scenes of her in the bath again. Oh, and the sight of her plump breasts slightly floating on the warm water was easy to set my mind into a state of utter chaos.

"Ugh..." I groaned, slapping my forehead with the palm of my hand to attempt to get rid of the indecent thoughts.

In the end, I left my bed and went to breathe in the fresh air outside. Even the faintest scent of Eria-sama in the room started to intoxicate me.

Outside, I sat on a nearby log to relax. Our lodging was built on higher ground, so I can see a decent view of the village. It does not look obvious at daytime, but the village houses were a little separated apart away from each other. There is a considerable distance between them, unlike in towns and cities were people's homes were compact and tightly connected to each other. I do not mind the inconvenience of this small village for now, since it's my first time experiencing it. It's enjoyable to learn and experience things you usually wouldn't be able to. However, if it wasn't for Eria-sama, I wouldn't really ever bother myself to go to a place like this.

Thinking about it, I always get flustered by Eria-sama; I rarely keep my usual composure when I'm around her. Even the most gorgeous women in the academy doesn't budge me a little when they pose for affection, maybe because compares to her, they look like little girls. That's right, I haven't really seen anyone have the same size of breasts Eria-sama has. Those were truly the stuff of legend. I think I wouldn't be attracted to anyone who was any less than her in size.

"Mrrm!" again, I hit my forehead to prevent my thoughts from getting in any weird direction again.

"What are you doing out here, Fin?"

"E-Eria-sama!?"

"Shh! You'll wake up the villagers," Eria-sama, appearing behind me, gestures a finger on her lips, obviously telling me to quiet down.

"What... are you doing here, Eria-sama?"

"Why? I Can't be outside this late at night or something?"

As usual, she seems so carefree. You wouldn't really think of her as someone so powerful. She acts more like a tomboy-ish friend, who happens to have so much charm it may as well put a goddess to shame. My heart skips a bit as I stare at her under the gleam of the moon. Then, I noticed it... Eria-sama was not wearing her bra at all, and the shape of her nipples were poking through the fabric of her shirt. I turned my head away as I pretend I didn't notice it, but it seems Eria-sama has realized I did and a smug appeared on her face.

"Aren't you already too old to be acting that way?" she teasingly said.

I couldn't say anything in return, so I remained quiet. I know she was just teasing me, but It's just as she said, I'm already an adult and I shouldn't be acting so embarrased, and yet...

"If you wanted it, you could probably get any of the girls you liked. They definitely would have a hard time refusing you since you're a noble boy," Eria-sama mutters on as she sat close to me on the log, "Well, not that I think they would though, since you're pretty good-looking yourself."

I felt embarrassed by the sudden compliment, but even more so, I felt anxious of Eria-sama who was drifting closer. At the distance she remained, I can see the full view of her breasts. I felt ashamed as I couldn't control my lust anymore and stiffened up.

"Fufu... you're making quite a tent there, I'm surprised," Eria-sama laughs with a playful smile. Then I saw the moon reflecting on her eyes as she continues, "Say? Didn't I promise you a reward?"
