Chapter 13

Chapter 13 - Lily (2)

I returned to the inn with Lily. Since I had been asking her about herself so far, I decided to talk about myself this time.

I mentioned that I had recently arrived in this city and that I was working as an adventurer. While I couldn't reveal that I had been transported from a different world, I did let her know about my goal to build a harem.

However, as I spoke, Lily began to unbutton her clothes, prompting me to quickly stop her. It seemed she had assumed that "chores" referred to being a nighttime companion. Her mother's history as a mistress might have influenced her perception.

"We won't do lewd things?"

"No, we won't, sorry. You're not within my area of interest."

"I see..."

For some reason, Lily looked disappointed. Perhaps she was feeling insecure in her current situation. After all, she didn't have much of a job. She might have been considering that without a role or any work, she could easily be discarded if things didn't work out.

"I plan to move somewhere else eventually. When that happens, I might have you help with managing the house and such. For now, just take it easy. And when you grow up, I might try to woo you."

"I understand."

Clearly, her lack of work had been causing her some anxiety. When I mentioned using her for labor, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"For now, how about giving me a shoulder rub or something?"

Afterward, Lily massaged my shoulders and back for a while. It felt pretty good. Teaching her proper massage techniques might be a good idea.

"Lily, that's enough. Thanks."

"Did it feel good?"

"Yeah."

Lily's arms started shaking, so I stopped the massage and began preparing for sleep. The inn room was only meant for one person, and there was only one bed.

However, since I had a decently-sized physique, there was plenty of space for both me and Lily to sleep together. Since she hadn't used soap yet, she still smelled a bit, so I kept a bit of distance so that she wouldn't find out. Unfortunately, I didn't feel any tension about sleeping next to someone of the opposite sex.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The next day, I woke up slightly later than usual. Sleeping together had made the bed warm. Lily and I, who had slept at opposite ends of the bed, were now snuggled up together in the morning. Spending the night together had made the smell less bothersome, and now her body temperature felt pleasantly comfortable compared to mine.

I could afford a little more sleep. Today, I planned to take a break from my adventurer duties and deepen my intimacy with Lily. Seeing Lily sleep contentedly beside me, I felt a pang of envy and considered going back to sleep, but I opened my eyes instead.

"You're Lily… right?"

Lily's complexion had improved to the point where she almost looked like a different person. I gently touched her to make sure I didn't wake her. Her skin was incredibly smooth. Though I hadn't touched her yesterday, from a distance, I could tell her skin had been rough. Now, her skin was so well taken care of that I could say it had transformed.

...It was probably thanks to the potions. I had a few potions that were about to expire, so instead of disposing of them, I had given them to Lily last night, hoping it might improve her health even a little.

Right after drinking them, she mentioned her body feeling slightly lighter, but there weren't any other noticeable changes. The potions I had given her were the type that activated healing abilities, so it seemed the effects took time to manifest.

Her skin felt amazing as I gently prodded it, and our eyes met. My fingers were still pressed against her cheek.

"...Good morning. How are you feeling?"

"Um, I feel really better... Do you want to do something lewd?"

"No, that's not it. I was just checking on your health."

I had her strip down to her underwear to examine her whole body. Her skin had improved, but there hadn't been any dramatic change in her physique. She had eaten a lot yesterday, so maybe there was a tiny bit more flesh, but it wasn't really discernible.

Well, if the healing potion had defied the laws of mass conservation and made her gain weight dramatically, that would have been horrifying. It seemed that the Make Lily Plump Plan would need to progress gradually. While thinking about this, Lily's stomach rumbled.

"For now, how about some food?"

"Mm."

Afterward, we had a light breakfast of bread and soup from the inn, chatted for a while, and then headed out to walk around the city, making it a part of our lunch plans. I had realized yesterday that I could increase Lily's affection by giving her food.

We headed to the street lined with the same food stalls as yesterday and bought different dishes this time. I intended to keep coming back here until we had tried all the dishes that caught our attention.

"Haruki, can I have some meat?"

"No, sorry. I like this one too. Let's just go buy another one. Can you eat half?"

"Yeah."

I wanted to try various dishes, so we shared half. For things like skewers and crepes that were hard to divide, We ended up with an indirect kiss, and sometimes, when my hands were full, we'd even bump heads, but it didn't make my heart race. Given that Lily had a rather undernourished body, our relationship was more like siblings or a pet owner.

However, it was surprisingly pleasant. Lately, we had mostly talked about work-related matters, so this relaxed interaction without any tension was very soothing.

It wasn't the harem I had yearned for, but maybe this kind of life wasn't so bad either. Just as I was thinking that, an unexpected event unfolded.

With a sudden burst of sound, the tranquility came to an end.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

It was the night of the 7th day since Lily arrived. Her affection had been growing steadily, and now she would smile at me without needing to be lured with food. On the days I was absent all day due to exploration, she would see me off looking lonely and greet me with a smile upon my return.

Her talking hadn't increased all that much. Apparently, she hadn't been in the habit of speaking much. Her position as the daughter of a violent man's mistress in the slums had left her without any friends. While she was slowly opening up, it was clear she still had a long way to go, so I intended to monitor the situation.

"Lily, it's time to sleep."

"Mm."

I was already in bed, and as Lily was about to get into bed by placing one knee on it, that's when it happened.

I heard a dry snapping sound from Lily's side. It was like the sound of thick paper being slowly torn apart from both ends until it reached its breaking point.

"Lily?"

I had no idea what had caused the sound, so I asked Lily what had happened, but she was frozen in place. Her eyes were wide open, and her face was gradually turning red. I didn't know what to do either and waited for Lily's reaction. After nearly a minute had passed, she answered in a small, strained voice.

"My panties ripped."

"I see, your panties..."

I understood where the sound was coming from, but I had absolutely no clue why such a thing had happened. Panties might tear, and I could understand a tear sound like "rip," but "snap" was beyond me. Questions flooded my mind, leaving me at a loss for words.

"My butt got bigger."

"I see, your butt..."

I became even more confused. I thought of not asking further since it seemed like a difficult topic, but then Lily removed her clothes, directly showing me the cause.

"Haruki, can you buy me new panties? Bigger ones."

The panties had a horizontal split across the buttocks. Flesh was protruding from the gap. Compared to the thin rear she had seven days ago, there was no comparison. She had a rounded, plump buttocks now. Despite being comfortable with being seen naked before, Lily's face was bright red up to her ears.

The cause of the sound was that when she bent her knees and thrust her butt out as she was about to get into bed, the pressure on her butt exceeded the elasticity of the panties, resulting in the snap.

I had her change into different underwear and examined her entire body. The size of the panties she was currently wearing was the same as the torn ones, so they were extremely tight. I had bought the larger size in anticipation of her body returning to normal, but her butt was bulging out.

Other parts of her body had changed too. The ribs that had prominently jutted out before were now barely visible, and her upper arms, which had resembled chicken bones, had gained a plump layer of flesh. Her breasts had swelled to daifuku size, and her thighs were very plump. There was more flesh on her waist, but it fit the size of the panties. Her body was so healthy that one could even say it was athletic.

"Potions are amazing."

I muttered involuntarily. Lily's increased appetite over the past few days was likely due to the activation of her digestion and absorption abilities by the potions. Although there hadn't been an immediate change after drinking them, her body had been rapidly recovering at a much faster rate than normal over the past week. Her height hadn't increased, and she had been wearing loose clothing, so I hadn't noticed at all.

"Um, I know this is a bit, well, awkward to ask... but, was your mom's butt big?"

"Yeah, it was."

It seemed that the plumpness of her lower body wasn't an overreaction to the potion, but rather a genetic trait. I fought the urge to touch and confirm it under the pretext of needing to confirm. However, it was probably even harder for Lily, considering that she seemed okay with being touched normally.

"Sorry for making you take off your clothes. You can put them back on. Let's go to bed now."

I said that and turned off the light. Honestly, it was quite a sight. I didn't know how to approach this situation. Until yesterday, sleeping together was no issue at all, but starting from today, it was impossible. I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly with her next to me. I decided to wait for Lily to sleep before sleeping on a chair.

"Do you want to do something lewd?"

Lily asked, noticing that my reaction was different from the last time I've seen her naked. The answer was yes. Lily was small, but she had a woman's body now. I really wanted to do something lewd.

But I can't say it out loud. I had been thinking that someday I would consider her as my woman, but when the moment arrives, I get flustered. After all, I'm a virgin.

"Don't you want it?"

"What... do you mean?"

"Me."

Yes, I skipped the phase of seduction. Until just a while ago, I treated her like a little sister. In my original plan, I intended to gradually change our relationship from being like siblings to that of a man and a woman once I began seeing her in a sexual way.

The level is too high for me, a virgin, to do it while treating her like a little sister. Let's calm down for now. How about stopping today and starting over tomorrow?

"You can have me."

Lily didn't wait. Lily took off her underwear. Her movements were slow, and although I should have been able to stop her, I could only watch.

Lily became completely naked. There was no trace of her previous awkwardness. In the dimly lit room, illuminated by the moonlight, Lily's body was beautifully curved and feminine.

Before I knew it, I had pulled Lily close against my chest. There was only my shirt between Lily and me. My heartbeat was being transmitted to Lily. It was obvious that I was turned on.

From Lily, too, I can feel her fast heartbeat, "thump thump thump," transmitting to me.
