clack—! clack—!

Hm... These parts didn't come out pretty well, huh... The shape is kinda retarded, and the density is fucked as well.

''Hah...''

I still have a lot to learn. Making guns, especially big ones, using magic is hard as hell. Mhm, well, at least I like it. Let's take a break first.

''Hgn...!''

So I slowly get out of the chair while stretching my tired arms. Looking out the window, the scene of a snow-covered forest greets me. Pouring myself a cup of hot chocolate, I once again immerse myself in the landscape.

The view from the top of the castle is simply amazing. It is totally different from what I saw back on Earth. I remember my little brother used to give me chocolate on Valentine's Day...

Now that I think about it, isn't today Valentine's?

Well, people here don't know what that is anyway. And I don't even have someone I can give chocolate to... Okay, maybe I have. Liana and Emy.

I am now seventeen, thirty-three if one counts my past life. I need to consider dating soon, seriously, or else I will end up being an actual old maid.

Mom and Dad always say I don't need to rush as elves have thousands of years to spare, but deep inside, I feel I'm still human through and through. When taking my past life into the equation, it doesn't seem strange that the sense of urgency has plagued me entirely.

''...''

Should I... Confess? Would that be too hasty?

In the first place, the biggest problem in this is my greed. I want to date both Liana and Emy. Badly.

Liana is somewhat forceful but still considerate, while Emy is more subdued but clingy. Having enjoyed every second beside them, I just can't concede either one of the two.

But what if they reject me? Would that break our current relationship?

Dating is so fucking hard...

knock—! knock—!

''Hm?''

Turning around, I see the door to my room has already been opened, and Liana is standing right there.

''Why so thoughtful, my princess?'' She asks and walks up to me.

''Mhm... Well, I was just thinking about some problems.'' I reply.

''Do you need my help?''

You are the problem, girl.

''Nope. By the way, is Emy here?''

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

''She will come later.''

''Okay. Sit down first. I'll get you hot chocolate.''

''Alright.''

Ever since we met each other, the three of us have been hanging out day and night. We have done virtually everything together and enjoyed every second of it. Well, at least I do.

Today will probably be another board game night. We've been addicted to one recently.

After handing out the hot chocolate cup to Liana, who is sitting on my bed, we have some small talk before Emy enters the room. Today, she is still as tall and beautiful as any other day, but I notice an unusual bag in her hand.

''What's that, Emy?'' I ask.

''Stuff.'' She replies and puts it on my table.

Although puzzled, I decide to gloss over it.

''Well, I guess we should begin the game, huh?'' I climb on the bed and grab a pillow to hug. ''Still that game, or another one?''

''Let's change it around.'' Liana says, and Emy seems to agree with it.

''Which one?''

Emy then naturally crawls over and embraces me from behind while Liana pulls out a deck of cards.

''Poker. Whoever loses strip.''

''Ugh... That again?'' I frown lightly. ''Last time you bastards had me nearly naked...''

''I enjoyed it a lot.'' Liana shamelessly grins back at me.

''I'm the crown princess, you know? Aren't you scared?''

''You seem to like the bullying anyway, so no.''

''...Idiots.''

These idiots... They keep doing vaguely sexual things to me like this, and they make me feel so weird... I get their intention, though. I'm not that dense. I wonder if they masturbate to me like I do to them. I heard futas have to do it regularly.

Argh, goddamnit. I want to hurry and lose my V-card already. Having such a busty body without being able to use it well is painful.

At this point, I suddenly feel Emy nudging my neck with her face, a sign of her telling us to begin the game. Seeing this, Liana speaks up.

''Well, just a few warmup rounds will do. You and Emilia are a team.''

''Oh, really?''

''If you two lose, Sylvie strips.''

''Why not Emy??''

''Both of us would like to see your body more than anything, so it is what it is.''

''This is sexual harassment!''

''Do it or not?''

''...Fine.''

Why do I feel like I can't refuse their requests...

Just like that, we begin to play a few rounds of Poker, and after everything is done...

''Ugh...''

''One last round.''

''Idiot! I only have a panty on...!''

Covering my chest with my forearm, I can feel my cheeks burning. It's not helping at all that Emy is still clinging to me. I swear this motherfucker is making us lose on purpose.

''If you already strip that much, then just give up and accept your fate.'' Liana's face turns even smugger.

''N-No! Not now...'' I trail off.

Shit. What did I just say...?!

Immediately, the three of us fall into silence.

''...Are you saying you'll strip naked for us later?''

''That...''

I have to deny it, but...

The sexual tension between us has never been this high. My body is burning. This weird feeling... Are we going to do it here? We'll do it, right? The three of us, right?

Then, Liana suddenly stands up, startling both Emy and me. She goes to the table and grabs the bag earlier, then comes back.

''Here.''

She takes out a wrapped something from the bag and hands it to me.

''What is this...?''

''Chocolate. For Valentine's.''

''Huh? Why do you...''

''You said there was something like that last year.'' Liana shrugs. ''This is from both of us, by the way.''

''Oh... I forgot. I should've prepared one for you guys as well. Friendship chocolate...''

''Who said this was a friendship chocolate?''

''Ah?''

When I look up at her, Liana has one eyebrow up, staring at my... Chest. Crap, I forgot to keep covering them.

...Fuck it. They've seen them anyway. More importantly, this chocolate.

''You mean, this chocolate is...''

''Think for yourself.'' Liana says. ''And we don't mind you not having one for us. Just...''

''Just?''

Liana then comes really close to me and puts her hand on my collarbone, the lower half of her palm sinking into my bare chest.

''I would like to see my princess giving us a sweet and satisfying chocolate next year.''

Looking at Liana's affectionate eyes and hearing her weirdly worded sentence, a sudden realization hits me.

'us' instead of 'me,' 'satisfying' instead of 'delicious.'

My crotch feels itchy at just the thought of what Liana might be implying.

At this moment, I am sure that our relationship will never be the same again.
