It’s over, it’s over.
Iserin must have seen it.
Mowan’s shame exploded; she no longer dared to look Iserin in the eye.
But Iserin didn’t care about that.
She bent down, her right hand supporting Mowan’s back and her left hand hooking under Mowan’s legs.
Feeling a light, warm breeze envelop her, Mowan opened her eyes in surprise.
She discovered that Iserin had already held her and used Qinggong to leap into the bathtub.
Without splashing much water, the two of them were already soaking in the brimming hot water.
Water cascaded over the edges of the tub.
With two people squeezed into a single bathtub, it was clearly far too cramped.
So cramped that…
Mowan could clearly feel how Iserin’s softness was deforming against her back.
“It’s too tight, Sister Selin…”
Mowan still wanted to get out.
After all, she had just experienced a Magic Overflow.
Now, her Water Elemental Magic was contaminating this pool of clear water.
“Aren’t there still gaps? Spread your legs.”
“Huh?”
Mowan looked down.
It was true.
If she kept her legs pressed together, her whole body could only huddle like a curled-up hedgehog.
If she and Iserin spread their legs apart and interlocked them to fill the gaps in the tub, the two of them could barely manage to soak together.
But, but… she didn’t want to contaminate the clear water in the tub any further.
However, what was the difference between contaminating it a little and contaminating it completely?
Besides, Iserin had certainly seen her reaction, yet Iserin didn’t seem to care at all.
And so, Mowan’s desire to stretch her body slowly overcame the shame in her heart.
She slowly parted her knees, her right leg sinking between Iserin’s legs.
Finally, her body could move forward a little, her chest pressing against Iserin’s thigh.
She let out a soft breath.
The oxygen levels were already low in the steam-filled bathroom, and with the two of them squeezed together pressing against each other’s chests, Mowan felt lightheaded.
However, this posture…
For some reason, Mowan thought of the Electronic Rocking Car she used to ride as a child in her past life.
She wanted to sit up a bit higher, but Iserin’s thighs were too slippery.
She could only keep sinking down until there was no space left between them.
Mowan gave up struggling.
Because the more she struggled, the more it looked like she was rubbing against Iserin for her own pleasure.
She simply hugged Iserin’s thigh and rested her chin on Iserin’s knee, quietly enjoying their intimate time together.
Anyway, Iserin had already discovered her unsightly side, and Iserin had seen her body long ago.
As long as Iserin didn’t mind, there was no need for Mowan to be so timid.
“Is it a bit better now?”
“Mm.”
Because of this subtle posture, Iserin could even press her hand against Mowan’s back, helping her scrub it.
Mowan closed her eyes, feeling Iserin’s gentle palm flowing across her back.
Suddenly.
Iserin’s hand moved from the side of Mowan’s waist to her lower abdomen.
Iserin gently held Mowan’s slender waist—a waist so thin it could be circled by a single hand.
“Do you want it?”
Iserin asked bluntly.
Mowan’s brain exploded with a buzz again.
She pursed her lips, not answering immediately.
Of course she wanted to.
But Iserin probably didn’t, right? Iserin’s reaction was simply too calm.
Mowan wasn’t an idiot; she could see the difference between her reaction and Iserin’s.
On her side, it was like mountains crumbling and seas surging, yet Iserin remained as calm as a windless lake.
“I think… this is fine.”
“You don’t want to? You’re already like this.”
Iserin brought her mouth close to Mowan’s ear, shifting to a more seductive tone.
“Mowan, this isn’t a mistake. You don’t have to feel ashamed of it. It’s only human nature to feel desire for the one you love. You don’t have to be ashamed to face me.”
“Mm… but for now, I still want to be like this with Sister Selin. Just hugging and leaning against each other makes me very happy.”
It was impossible for Mowan to directly say that Iserin’s reaction was lackluster.
Once spoken, no matter what tone she used, it would turn into a demand of Iserin.
How could so-called desire be produced just by a demand?
But Mowan didn’t think Iserin stopped liking her either.
After all, there was such a thing as Platonic Love.
Therefore, Mowan preferred to choose a way of being together that kept both of their mental states at their best.
Iserin tightened her grip around Mowan’s waist.
She guessed Mowan’s inner thoughts.
This left her momentarily at a loss.
If she continued to press the issue, it would undoubtedly make it look like she was desperate to have Mowan’s body, yet she clearly felt no desire.
Then why did she want to have Mowan’s body?
The answer was obvious; she had other motives.
She absolutely could not let Mowan guess that.
She could only stop while she was ahead.
Mowan was certainly unwilling to let her just accommodate Mowan’s needs.
Even if they really did it, Mowan would feel unfulfilled because it wasn’t Iserin’s own genuine inner craving.
Her eyes, her words, and her expressions could all deceive Mowan, but… she couldn’t fake desire to Mowan.
She couldn’t do what Mowan did—blushing, her heart racing, and the skin all over her body turning a lovely shade of pink when facing her beloved.
The perfect Saintess persona had successfully helped Iserin capture Mowan’s True Heart, yet it had become the final obstacle to Iserin obtaining Mowan’s body.
It was truly ironic.
“I will work hard, Mowan. I’m sorry. I might not be a perfect lover, but I will work hard.”
“Sister Selin…”
“Let me kiss you, okay?”
Mowan turned her head.
Taking advantage of her height, Iserin reached toward the side of Mowan’s face and kissed Mowan’s soft red lips.
Mowan’s slightly confused and nervous mood was somewhat soothed at this moment.
She could feel a strong sense of possessiveness being conveyed through Iserin’s lips and teeth as she kissed her.
This feeling put her at ease.
This was also Iserin’s unhidden True Heart.
“Our future is still very long. Some things are also a first for me. I will also be confused, and I am waiting for you to clear my doubts. But every day spent with you is always a surprise.”
In this sentence, Iserin did not lie to Mowan.
She had never been in a relationship.
Indeed, she didn’t know how to handle conflicts between lovers.
However, whether it was love or friendship, they were all essentially emotions.
As long as enough time passed, and as long as Iserin mastered the detailed expressions of loving someone by observing Mowan, she could use Magic to simulate it perfectly.
The skill Iserin was most proud of was lying and learning.
“Me too. Every day spent with Sister Selin is always happy.”
Mowan said a sentence almost identical to Iserin’s, but the two-word difference in meaning was completely different.
She was very happy.
Every single day.
Ever since she met Iserin, she felt like her world had come alive, no longer appearing dead and stagnant like before.
Mowan leaned against Iserin’s shoulder, looking forward to tomorrow and the day after.
To every future day where Iserin existed.
***
“Morning, Sister Selin…”
Today, Iserin woke up at almost the same time as Mowan.
When Mowan opened her eyes, she could still see Iserin lying quietly beside her.
“Good morning.”
Iserin cupped Mowan’s face and kissed her forehead.
“Get up early and go to the Church with me. I didn’t get a chance to tell you something yesterday. There is a request from the Princess today, and I need you to help her.”
“Okay!”
Mowan scrambled up.
Iserin changed into her traveling dress and turned to look at Mowan, who was also briskly changing her clothes.
How could a perfect Saintess only sit around and wait for opportunities to come to her door?
Every path in Mowan’s future had already been laid out by her in advance.
Now, she needed Mowan to accompany the Princess and cause a bit of big trouble.
“Are we going to the Church together?”
Mowan, who was originally full of anticipation to go to work with Iserin, suddenly thought of something. If they arrived at the Church at the same time, wouldn’t they be seen by the Nuns on guard?
A Saintess who stayed out all night with a… non-clerical person?
