Jill 05
From beast form, he returned to human appearance.
After putting on his clothes, he walked to the bank of the lake.
“Lilius.”
Jill called out his name once again. This time, it reached his ears.
“Tch, that surprised me, what’re you doing in this kinda place?”
Lilius had been startled due to him suddenly calling him out. Feeling apologetic for that, Jill conveyed his purpose with a wry smile.
“I’ve brought the pastries that you requested. The ones you’re giving to the village children.”
“You came just for that? This late?!”
“……”
At the words Lilius spoke whilst staring at him dumbfounded, Jill became awkward and averted his eyes.
Even Jill hadn’t planned to come so late at night. However, the butler Belus had been annoyed by Jill’s restless pondering, so he had driven Jill out of the house and locked him out.
Even though, really, Jill was only trying to consult with Belus about whether it was fine for Jill himself to deliver the pastries, and if so, whether he needed to give prior notice first. He really was just pondering over these.
When he was kicked out, the three children, with only their eyes exposed, stood in a line at the window, watching him. When he noticed this, he looked away in indescribable embarrassment.
So, Jill threw the sin to Belus.
“This, it’s Belus.”
“Ha? That Belus told you to go this late at night?”
“……”
“Seriously? Don’t you have other business you’ve gotta do?”
Other business……

At those words, he inadvertently gave a reaction. Lilius looked at him more and more doubtfully. Jill soon couldn’t stand his ground and revealed the true reason.

Belus was probably tired of him too — “Does he have to do these even on vacation?” or so. Whilst guessing these in his mind, Jill returned his averted gaze to Lilius, lost for words.
“You, the truth is—”
Had he made Lilius feel creeped out? Even he himself felt he was disgusting, but on the contrary, the air around Lilius smelled sweet, and pink-colored petals were whirling all over the place. Now that he knew Lilius was happy about his appearance, Jill instead became troubled over how to interpret this knowledge.
Such a thing was shown to him, making him feel troubled.
He didn’t know the reason for it, but he was extremely troubled by it. From within his chest, an unfamiliar feeling welled up, to the point of pain.
“What’s with me?”
“No, please don’t mind it. Putting that aside, even though it’s summer, staying in the water for so long will make you cold.”
“True. Good thing I was also about to get out.”
Swimming through the lake, Lilius came to his side.
Jill naturally held out his hand.
“Thanks.”
“It’s no problem.”
Lilius’s hand was placed in Jill’s palm. From the skin contact, slowly but steadily the feverish warmth seeped through.
Jill’s warmth spread out, overtaking Lilius’s cold temperature.
For some reason, he felt itchy. Why did it make him feel this ticklish?
Jill leaned forward and pulled Lilius up.
And then, at the naked body exposed in front of his eyes, he once again ended up speechless.
“Aren’t you a bit too unguarded?”
He ended up speaking in a sharper way than intended. He felt he should apologise, and yet, contrary to his thoughts, he still ended up sounding like he was blaming Lilius.
“Don’t you think going around like this is dangerous?”
“Look, over here nobody else lives but me. There’s not gonna be any danger or whatever.”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying.”
At Lilius’s words, Jill’s tail lashed up and down with an agitated air.
Well, this place was indeed far away from the village area. But still. Like Jill, there might still be many others loitering around late at night.
Even if it was only a small chance, what if a degenerate had seen Lilius……
At the sudden possibility that passed through his mind, his insides boiled, simmering and churning. There was no doubt that it was jealous anger.
“Just what do you mean?”
“I’m saying that you should worry more about eyes around you.”
“Why should I? Who would bother to watch someone like me? Or, are you saying that I shouldn’t expose my dirty skin?”
At Lilius’s laughter, spite-filled as if spitting at him, Jill became sullen.
“I haven’t said anything like that.”
“So what the heck is it!”
“You’re pretty, so I was asking you to please be more careful. Those who are beautiful and full of unguardedness can be very tempting to others. Lilius, aren’t you being a bit too thickheaded?”
“—W–what, you, what are you saying.”
Lilius’s face was dyed a deep red.
Not just his face. In the blink of an eye, the red reached his neck, highlighting the smooth curve of his shoulders, and Jill unintentionally rumbled in his throat upon seeing this.
“…… Sorry. Anyways, it’s fine as long as you’re a bit more conscious. Because, you’re amazingly charming.”
“…………. O, okay.”
What was with this air.
Sweet. So, so sweet. He had never had such an experience.
Jill’s tail, as usual, rebelliously refused to listen to Jill’s mind. Just now it completely tore his facade of calm, and now it was wagging and dancing cheerfully.
While he was restless, Lilius had gotten himself ready and turned to look at him.
“So, where are those sweets?”
“……”
He looked at his hands. There, there was not even a single pastry.
This time, it was Jill’s face that turned red.
“Did you forget it?”
“I’m sorry!”
“…….You…seriously, what did you actually come here for?”
“I also don’t know…….”
Jill’s pitiful voice rang weakly in the night air.
TN note:
This chapter: In which Jill is the degenerate pervert out late at night watching the beautiful man in the woods bathing in the moonlight.
lmao (๑˃ ꇴ ˂๑) jill and his poor excuse!
I totally wanna see him wag his tail UwU
Thanks for the chapter!~ ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
Couldn’t stop laughing when Jill talked about the degenerate thing. 😂😆🤣 It seems, we have a big bad wolf… I mean lion here. 🤭
While Jill reads Lilius’s mood on the basis the scent of his magic, it was mentioned before that Lilius can interpret Jill’s feelings by his tail’s behaviour. They are both very happy then. Looking forward to more late summer night developments. 😍 ✨
Thank you for the chapter!!!
