From my arms, I could hear faint sleeping breaths.
It came from Kou whoās now grown up like in that drawing.
I thought heās already very beautiful just from the drawing, but heās far better than I expected.
At first, I was so nervous that I decided we couldnāt use the same bed.
An unbelievably eye-catching beauty sleeping in the same room is enough.
Yet, Kou seemed dissatisfied with that and returned to his child form in the morning.
ā¦I was shocked that time.
Iām sure Kou didnāt notice.
I felt like he had refused to marry me.
I even wondered if he hated it that much.
ā¦well, that soon proved groundless.
The next day, Kou, who humanized again at the bathhouse, made hot water as usual.
And then looked at me very, very unhappily as if he had a grudge against me.
But I then got surprised when he got on my lap unsuspectingly in the bathtub.
Delicate white skin with a yellowish tinge that makes me want to touch, along with smooth muscular arms and legs.
Although he had a slender body that fits snugly in my arms, I tried not to have any physical reaction. When I looked at him between my legs, I realized his gaze was swimming.
What would Kou do if I got my hands on him right now?
āāWill you escape with movement magic?
āāWill you be wary of me and scared?
Either way, he wonāt have a good impression.
Of course, the reason why I didnāt want to touch the humanized Kou was that I didnāt want him to know my desire and hate me.
Until now, I never thought that I didnāt want to be hated by someone.
Itās normal for others to be afraid and scared of me.
Itās natural for everyone to be scared and I wouldnāt be interested in such a person.
It didnāt matter whether Iām liked or disliked.
However, Kou is different.
I always wonder how he can like me and how he can stay with me.
So I canāt touch him.
If he hated it, I wouldnāt be able to recover.
This way, I could only hold him in my arms.
I could only offer my arm as a pillow as I stroked his sleeping head.
āHnā¦ā
Kou rubbed his face against my chest when he woke up.
Heās so cute, but I wonder who he was before he met me.
I havenāt asked about his past relationships because I wonāt know who the other party was even if I hear it, and Iāll only be jealous so thereās no point.
Then I heard something even more shocking.
Kou said that in Niho, only a few people are in love with the same sex, and most of them are in love with the opposite sex.
In other words, does Kou also have a woman?
Did he only marry me as an extension of my āguardianā status?
Would he leave me one day when he suddenly said that he had someone he likes?
ā¦thereās no guarantee that the other party would only be a woman.
Kou has an eye-catching beauty.
His slender body, which easily fits into my arms, makes me want to protect him.
Nevertheless, heās the number one magic power holder in Marihect and is a talented person who can also heal.
Thereās no doubt that Kou is a person theyād want as a human resource as well as a romantic partner.
In fact, there are still people looking for a chance to try and talk to Kou.
I noticed their stares and knew they wanted to talk to Kou.
But Kou only answers things he could answer.
Thatās why the rumors of the return of Erideya had spread.
Seems like Kou knew itās someoneās name but after knowing itās a healer from the past, he wasnāt that interested.
Kou might have perceived Erideya as a āhealerā rather than a ābenevolent and attractive personā.
āā¦Ryodo? Mohning.ā
Kou looked up with his still sleepy eyes.
āGood morning. You still look sleepy.ā
I held down Kouās hair messed up from his sleeping habits but the moment I released it, it sprang up again.
Kou sleeps longer than I do.
He doesnāt get up very well and takes a long time to wake up.
I sat while still hugging Kou, but he didnāt want to change and still hugged me.
If he stayed still, Kou would fall asleep again.
āKou, get up.ā
I have to patrol and subdue monsters again today.
Kou is so sleepy because we patrolled after taking a little nap last night.
He seemed to be the type whoād sleep well in one sitting, so itās difficult to rest his body with just short naps.

When weāre at home, waking up wasnāt this hard.
After eating breakfast, lunch was quite small.
The mealtime is delayed little by little but it seems like itāll take time for Kou to get used to it.
ā*******ā
He muttered something, but I didnāt understand since itās not the words from this world.
I always wonder what he wanted to say, but it seems to be something that Kou canāt translate to my worldās language yet so Iāve never understood.
Iāve thought this many times before, but should I study Kouās language?
Kou is steadily learning the language of my world.
But I only know two words from his, āNihoā and āWearthā.
Niho is the name of the country where Kou lived and Wearth is the name of the star where Niho is.
Needless to say, the number of words I learned is too small.
Thatās the difference in our intelligence.
After a while, Kou, who looked up at me, didnāt seem that sleepy anymore.
