Rewards For Your Contribution

"... Why am I in this position?" Verina sheepishly uttered.

"You don't want to?" I whispered.

"I don't dislike it…!"

After the festive celebration, I gave my bastioneers an extra two hours of free time, a moment to indulge or satiate whatever they desire.

Of course, I already planned something after those two hours vanished.

"You two are really enjoying this, huh," Kuzunoha said with an irritated smile.

After doing some deforestation and proper construction, now that my hands were back to being miraculous as they were reliable—we held a meeting session to hear the report of Kuzunoha's visit to the soul realm where Black Daffodil resided.

Though, because of my mood and eagerness to reward Verina for her performance and loyalty, I put her to sit on my lap as I purred and rested my chin on her shoulder, doing a little bit of cuddling for the lack of skinship that we did for the past days.
