225 – Discovery #5

“Haaa-ah-.”

Perhaps it was because she had been working a lot all day, Aira kept yawning around 10 PM.

Mirna might have criticized her for yawning so openly, but Aira’s job 《Flower》 made even a simple yawn look elegant.

“It’s time to go to bed. Theo, please prepare.”

“Understood.”

She was actually going to bed at 10pm. But, of course, I was pleased as I had been waiting for Aira to go to sleep.

Okay, go to bed now.

Seureuk, seureuk-.

I spread the freshly washed duvet neatly on the bed.

Made of magic fabric and snowbird feathers, it didn’t warm you up, but rather cool you down. Perfect for the summer nights.

Aira wrapped it up to her chest and yawned a few more times. She then looked at me and slowly opened her lips.

“You seem to be getting along well with Lily? You left me with her while you’re away.”

“It’s alright, we get along normally.”

“She looks rough, but she has a good heart. I think you can do as you need. You can spank her if necessary....”

Aira slowly closed her eyes.

Seeming quite sleepy, she soon began to breathe steadily, falling into a deep sleep.

“Good night.”

Honestly, I was a bit surprised that Aira talked about Lily. After all, she rarely praised others. Then again, this was unusual, but not the first time.

Anyway.

Taking advantage of Aira’s deep sleep, I gently brushed my palm over her face.

“... Are you asleep?”

Despite the repeated shadows of my palm falling and disappearing on her face, Aira’s expression remained remarkably serene.

She was sleeping so peacefully not knowing what the future held. I had been waiting and now she was finally asleep.

Hehe.

Smirking like a mischievous nymph, I took out an item from my inventory《Squirrel Cache》. It was moxibustion made after drying mugwort and other medicinal herbs.

That was right.

Moxibustion.

A tool placed on the body and ignited to stimulate acupuncture points and meridians.

I got this from the Black Mage Balan, and it was supposed to be incensed with ingredients that would stimulate the Ars Nova, Solomon’s great magics.

The incense was also said to be good for women’s skin, stabilizing blood circulation and menstrual cycle, and a whole lot of other things.

Seuk-.

I placed it on the bedside table next to Aira’s bed and lit it.

Normally, moxibustion would be placed on the body and then lit. But if I did that, Aira might wake up and blow my head off. So I settled with letting her inhale just the scent.

Morak, morak-.
