Lying in a sea of cushions feels oddly mysterious. It’s different from lying on a big cushion, and not quite like sleeping on a futon. I think the most fitting description———— would be more like being buried under a massive number of cushions.

Fate-san is in a very cheerful mood, embracing me to her, and at her request, I’ve placed an arm under her head, forming a sort of arm pillow.

She seems to be completely at ease and comfortably nestled against me, but for me, feeling her soft body and knowing she’s so defenseless makes this quite challenging.

No, if Fate-san had been intending to make that approach, then I wouldn't have minded responding…… but in reality, Fate-san is just acting normally.

[By the way, Kai-chan, why did you come to the God Realm today? Did you go to see Shallow Vernal-sama?]

[Ahh, no, I came to deliver a sample of new coffee from Kuro's company to Shea-san. Kuro asked me to promote it if I knew any coffee lovers……]

[Ahhh~~ I see, Kurorin is still up doing all sorts of stuff huh~~]

Yes, even in a situation where she's cuddling with me and we're intimately close, it doesn’t turn into a flirtatious conversation. Fate-san just starts a casual chat, demonstrating her usual self.

Actually, I confirmed it after we became a couple, but Fate-san is basically someone who loves physical affection. Now that I think about it, even before we became a couple, there were quite a few times when she would hug me, but since we became a couple, it feels like that has increased significantly.

When we're together, we're usually either cuddling up close like now, lying down with her head on my lap, or clinging to my back like I'm carrying her. It seems like she's the type who wants to be close to someone she likes.

It's very cute, but it can be quite overwhelming when she catches me off guard.

[By the way, Fate-san, do you prefer tea or coffee?]

[Hmmm, I don't really drink much of either. It's not that I dislike them but…… it's just, I drink whatever is provided to me, but making them for myself is troublesome.]

[That certainly sounds just like Fate-san.]

[But well, I have the Authority of Fate, so I think I'd be good at making it. No, not like I've actually made any though…… I mean, I did manage to make cookies well even though it was my first time. I can do it if I try…… I just don't.]

[It's quite something hearing you say that yourself…… but well, you being able to do it when you want is true.]

Indeed, just as Fate-san says, she can do basically anything when she tries, but she just doesn’t. This applies to her work as well———– she has the ability to finish all her tasks in just a few minutes but she usually doesn't bother doing them.

I think it would be enough if she just did her best for 1-2 minutes then be lazy for the rest of the day, but Fate-san, finding that extremely troublesome, doesn’t even try for that long. One would think escaping and being chased by Chronois-san would be more trouble, but she still doesn’t do it.

[Well~~ I might make some for Kai-chan someday~~ If I feel like it, that is.]

[I'm looking forward to it then. Whether the day will come or not is another story……]

[Mhmm~~ I think it would. Putting aside for others, if it's for Kai-chan, I put in quite an effort. Fuhehe, I guess I just want to do something for someone I like~~]

Yes, even for the extremely lazy Fate-san, there are two exceptions. One is when anything involves Shiro-san, the Absolute being for the Gods…… As she herself had said, as long as she can serve Shiro-san, she wouldn't care if she's not a Supreme God, so she acts seriously when it comes to anything related to her. Well, I suppose this one applies to all Gods, not just Fate-san……

The other exception is when anything involves me. The reason Fate-san does work regularly, something that has a significant impact on Chronois-san and Shea-san, is because she doesn't want Chronois-san to interrupt our alone time.

Also, she once made cookies for me, and though it was on a whim and only when she felt like it, she sometimes tried to do things voluntarily.

Her making an effort herself feels like her way of expressing affection, and it makes me really happy.

[Hey, hey, Kai-chan doesn't have any plans for the rest of the day, right?]

[Yes, that's right.]

[Then we can relax together as much as we want~~ You can even stay the night if you want.]

[That sounds good. This is also nice…… just unwinding and doing nothing.]

[Right~~ Lazing around is the best, isn't it~~ Ah, that's right…… Kai-chan, Kai-chan.]

[Yes?]

[Chuuu……]

[Eh!? Wait, Fate-san, what are you doing all of a sudden!?]

[Well, I just felt like kissing you!]

Fate-san suddenly leaned in, pressed her lips against mine, and then smiled with a relaxed expression, as if she had done something completely normal.

She's really quite capricious, and sometimes her impulsive actions surprise me…… but still, I feel that spending time with Fate-san is a lot of fun.


<Afterword>

Doctor M : [……Errr, what?]

Serious-senpai : [Say it’ll take me about 3 chapters to recover! Please!!!]

Doctor M : [It seems that Serious-senpai has too much sugar and needs about 3 chapters to recover…… If that’s the case, it can’t be helped. To help you recover quickly, I’ll tell you all about my beloved child for 3 chapters straight……]

Serious-senpai : [I'm better now! I'm healed already, so no need for that treatment!!!]

Doctor M : [Eh? Ah, is that so? Well, if you’re better, then no treatment needed. But regardless of the treatment, let me tell you all about my beloved child……]

Serious-senpai : [……Eh? Wait……]
