TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 3
Shina was at her desk
in her room, staring at the crystal in her hand.
The light from the
lamp on the table illuminated a crystal with gold ornament inside it.
Mikael. The soul of an
old white dragon who came to this place to seal Tiamat.
Shina closed her eyes
and began to pour her magic power into the crystal.
"Answer me. What
are you going to do with him now?..."
Shina connected the
path to Mikael and spoke to the crystal.
However, Mikael still
didn't say anything, only reflecting back the dim light of the lamp in silence.
Shina continued to
connect the path for a while.
Mikael didn't seem to
respond to Shina's voice as usual.
However, she felt that
Mikael was somehow different from two weeks ago.
It was as if ripples
were rising on the surface of the water.
It was as if a slight
breeze had calmed the darkness, where abyss and stagnation drifted.
"Perhaps, you
lost your way?"
(…………)
Shina increased her
magic power in an attempt to make further contact with Mikael's spirit, which
remained silent.
However, before her
spirit could connect any deeper with Mikael, Mimuru suddenly jumped from behind
her.
"Shina, what are
you doing !?"
"Kyaa~!"
The sudden shock on
her back caused the Mikael in Shina's hand to slip out of her hand. As the
crystal almost hit the floor, Shina hurriedly reached out to catch it.
Fortunately, the crystal did not hit the floor and settled firmly in Shina's
hand.
"Mimuru, that was
dangerous..."
Shina exhaled in
relief, but then turned around with squinted eyes to blame Mimuru for suddenly
bumping into her.
However, Shina's eyes
widened involuntarily when she saw Mimuru's appearance.
"W-, what are you
wearing?"
"Hmm? It's my new
underwear. Does it look good?
Mimuru put her hands
on her hips and posed in a glamorous pose.
However, the underwear
she was wearing had such a small amount of fabric that it was doubtful whether
it functioned as underwear.
Her breasts and groin
were only modestly hidden, and it seemed as if something that should not be
visible could be seen at the slightest moment.
Shina felt a headache
and pressed her temples due to her best friend's too daring attire.
"It's more like a
rip-off than looking good on you. Why did you choose to wear those
stringy-looking underwear again?"
"Of course, it's
for Tom! If I approach him with this, he'll, knock-, me-, down, nyan~...!"
Apparently, she had
bought this string-like underwear with the intention of seducing Tom.
Shina felt a strange
sense of cunning in the way Mimuru went out of her way to tell her something like
that.
"Given Tom's
personality, I think he's going to pull back instead... Aren't you
embarrassed?"
"What are you
talking about? Women must be courageous! It's not my style to walk three steps
behind my husband!"
Mimuru proudly
declared so, but Shina, who had been thinking seriously earlier, couldn't keep
up with her at the moment.
The fact that Mimuru
was only wearing underwear was also a factor that dampened Shina's spirits.
In addition, she
called Tom her husband even though they were not yet married, but Shina didn't
pursue it any further.
"Is that so?
Anyway, if you're going to get close to Tom, try not to bother him too
much."
While sighing, Shina
left Mimuru alone and tried to talk to Mikael again.
