Liyakade slowly woke up inside the tent.
The trio’s ensemble yesterday had been so pleasurable that even the emptiness after releasing Magic Power was filled.
Remembering her actions from last night, Liyakade’s face flushed with embarrassment once again.
But what was done was done—she had no choice but to face her feelings honestly.
It was just like the play during the Cultural Festival; Liyakade had fallen for two girls at the same time.
After waking up, Liyakade noticed Field was already gone, while Alice was still sound asleep.
She gazed at Alice’s sleeping face, gently stroking her cheek with affection, then lifted a strand of her hair, pulled back the curtain, and stepped out of the tent.
As expected, Field was there outside.
“Yo, you troublesome little vixen, you finally woke up.”
Seeing Liyakade come out of the tent, Field couldn’t help teasing her.
“Uh… It was just instinct, I couldn’t control it.”
Liyakade pressed her palms together apologetically.
“But… my feelings for you are real. I’ll take responsibility from now on.”
“You’d better take good responsibility—after all, you took both of ours at once… Really, you enjoyed yourself, didn’t you?”
Field spoke with a sigh, then smiled and linked her arm through Liyakade’s.
“Can’t be helped. I like you, Liyakade.”
“Field.”
Liyakade answered softly to Field’s call.
This time, finally, she took the initiative while fully awake, holding Field’s slender hand, intertwining their fingers tightly together.
“So why did you wake up so early, Field? You must’ve been tired last night. Why not rest a little more?”
Liyakade nestled against Field’s fragrant shoulder like a little bird, concern in her voice.
“Come on, we’re in a Dungeon, you know? Even though you cleared the Boss room, Liyakade, what if other Adventurers come down? Someone still needs to keep watch.”
Field rolled her eyes at Liyakade and gently flicked her nose with a knuckle.
“Eh? So Field, you didn’t rest at all?”
Liyakade looked at Field worriedly.
Judging by her complexion, Field seemed fine.
Maybe it was because her level was higher and she had more stamina, or maybe because their fluids had mingled with Liyakade, but Field’s face was rosy, even healthier than before the ensemble.
“I rested a little while.”
Field didn’t seem too concerned.
“That’s not good! After I kept you up so long, you should rest properly!”
Liyakade scolded her a bit.
“Since I’m awake now, Field, hurry up and get some rest.”
“Miss Liyakade, Princess Field… Where are you?”
At that moment, a sleepy voice came from inside the tent.
It seemed that Alice had woken up as well, finding no one by her side.
She rubbed her eyes, lifted the curtain, and immediately snapped awake.
“Hey! You two, why are you clinging together again as soon as you wake up?”
Alice pouted, ran over, and grabbed Liyakade’s other arm.
“I want to cling too.”
“Alice, you’re awake. You must be tired. Thank you for last night.”
Feeling the softness against her arm, Liyakade gave Alice a loving smile and let her hold on.
“Haha, you sure have some nerve—this little vixen nearly exhausted me last night.”
Field chuckled at the sight.
“It—it’s not that bad! It wasn’t as tiring as you make it sound… Besides… It felt pretty good, actually.”
Recalling last night’s ensemble, Alice blushed.
As an ordinary Magic User, and with a lower level, Alice’s body wasn’t suited to such exertion—her legs were still a bit numb.
She hadn’t expected the usually passive Liyakade to be so aggressive, making her worry her own standing in the household might be at risk.
“Now that Alice’s out too, I’ll go rest for a bit.”
Seeing the other two looking lively, Field finally felt at ease enough to return to the tent.
“Go on, Field. When you’ve rested, we’ll head up together.”
Liyakade nodded, letting Field go with peace of mind.
“Eh? Did Princess Field keep watch for us?”
Hearing their exchange, Alice asked in confusion.
“That’s right, so I want her to rest.”
“Wha—how could she not rest after such a wild night? That’s so bad for your health!”
When Liyakade confirmed it, Alice turned to Field, worried.
“It’s fine. My body is strong to begin with. If Liyakade didn’t have Demon Bloodline, I’d be the strongest among the three of us.”
Field waved a hand to reassure Alice.
“Besides, you two were still sleeping inside the tent. You’re both important to me. How could I just leave you unguarded?”
“T-thank you, Princess Field…”
Alice was touched by Field’s firm words and bowed her head in gratitude.
“No need for honorifics from now on. Just call me by my name, like Liyakade does.”
Field added.
“Alice, you can call me by my name too from now on.”
Liyakade echoed Field.
“…Okay.”
Alice nodded earnestly.
“Liyakade, Field.”
After all, the three of them had shared the ensemble twice already.
Adding honorifics now felt unnecessarily distant.
With that, Field lifted the curtain and slipped into the tent.
Outside in the Boss room, only Liyakade and Alice remained, leaning on each other.
“Alice.”
Liyakade whispered the name of her beloved.
“What is it, Liyakade… Cough.”
Clearly, she wasn’t quite used to the sudden change in address, but Alice was gradually accepting the shift in their relationship.
“I’ll take responsibility from now on.”
Liyakade turned, rubbing her cheek against Alice’s and speaking with determination.
“It’s fine, Liyakade. Don’t make it sound so heavy.”
Alice’s smile was as warm as sunlight.
Her answer seemed different, but at its core, it was just like what Field had said.
“This was my choice from the start. I like you, so I’m happy this way too.”
Alice snuggled deeper into Liyakade’s arms, breathing in her faint fragrance, feeling at peace.
Even though it was unheard of for a Light Element Holder and someone with Demon Bloodline to come together, it had all happened so naturally.
“Alice.”
Liyakade called her name softly again, holding her tightly in her arms.
Man, it sounds like we missed out on her being a top
