This is the mansion of Lilia-san, where she has spent the most time and knows the most people in this world.

　The mansion that can be seen from the front of the gorgeous gate is really nostalgic.....Aah, that's how I feel that I'm back.
　The woman who guarded the gate, dressed in light armor, looked startled for a moment when she saw me, then without saying anything, she smiled, opened the gate and bowed deeply.

　The very act of opening the gate without contacting the landlord, Lilia-san, is like her way of saying "welcome back" and showing that she doesn't think of me as an outsider, which makes me happy.
　I bowed lightly to the woman who guarded the gate and stepped into the garden of the mansion, and I immediately heard loud footsteps and a sound like flapping wings.

''Gawww!''
Cukui!
Bell!　Lynn!　Just--wait!　Stop!　Stop--gulp!

　I had a bad feeling about the tremendous momentum of Belle and Lynn coming over, and I called for them to stop, but it was already too late. He covered it up as if jumping on it.

'And heavy!　Hey, can you calm down!
"Coo.
Kyu?

　For two of them, it's a situation where their owners have come back after two years, and they're already frolicking with all their might. That in itself makes me happy, and I think it's adorable, but the problem is Belle.
　Lynn is still good, even though she can jostle, she's not that big. However, Belle is about 4 meters tall...of course, she's doing her best to keep her weight to a minimum, but if she gets excited and puts too much weight on me, I'm afraid she'll crush me.
　As I was trying to manage to calm the two frolicking animals, I heard a familiar voice along with the sound of footsteps.

''.........Belle-chan, Ling-chan, how are you suddenly--?
"Ah, haha I'm sorry for the tight reunion Mr. Zeke.

　I had been frolicking with Belle and Lynn, and the one who came to me was Mr. Zeke, with the rainbow dragon Sera on his shoulder.
　Two months for me and two years for Zeke-san...Zeke-san's appearance as a long-lived race of elves shouldn't change in a few years, but he looks much more beautiful than before, probably because I haven't seen him in a long time.

　Zeke-san looked at me and looked a little surprised, then smiled gently and opened his mouth as he held out his hand to me who was lying on the ground.

''.......Welcome back. Kaito-san.
I'm back.

　I get up with Zeke's help and hug Zeke's body as if I'm being led along. A faint scent comes from the citrus-scented perfume that Zeke-san always uses in small doses.
　The calm, mature s*xuality and the warmth of the hands that were gently passed behind my back...how very exciting.

　After hugging Zeke-san as it was for a while, they released their hands from either side and looked at each other.



　When I said something somewhat embarrassing and off topic, and I was about to walk out towards the mansion.......I suddenly felt a tug on my clothes and immediately afterwards Zeke-san hugged me from behind.

''........Zeke-san?''
I'm selfish, I know. But can't I just.... can't I just have one more thing to do?
What?
I don't want to be alone with you for a little while longer.

　It was.........a request from Zeke-san that was too modest to even be called selfish.
　A voice that sounded like a pampering voice, which is really rare for Zeke-san, who has a mature and usually gentle and calm atmosphere. It was a helplessly pleasing word.

　I took Zeke's hand, which was being passed around from behind my back, as gently as I could, and slowly turned my body around to hug him again.

'That kind of selfishness ... is most welcome. So, just a little more.
Yes.

　Sizzling, Zeke's hold on me gets stronger. No....The strength to hold each other became stronger. I didn't want to miss that happy warmth, even if it was just a little bit.......


Mr. Zeke.

　We don't talk about anything, we just call each other's names... It's strange because that's all it takes to make the lovingness grow and grow.
　There's still a lot to go around, but she's been spoiled by her sweet little girl. I just want to spend a little more time with Zeke. Because I'm impossibly happy in this moment.
