“...You really brought it.”

Eve’s remark was as bland as could be. The corners of her mouth had been twitching at the box I held out, acting as if what was coming had finally come, but she calmed her excitement as soon as she realized it contained a school uniform. Sieri also looked deflated at the fact that it was a school uniform, her fingers fidgeting.

“Of course.”

“Besides this, is there… nothing else?”

“Something else? Ah, you mean this?”

I held out another box. Sieri watched the box being handed to Eve with a complicated expression. Eve, too, glanced at Sieri before asking me again.

“Is there only one for me?”

This box, too, was far too large to be a ring. After shaking the box frivolously, Eve opened it carefully. Inside was lingerie.

“Whoa…”

“Hey, wh-what is this?”

Eve, while smiling, pretended not to be happy as she accepted the small box. Sieri, unable to hide her joyful expression, also accepted her ring box. When Eve carefully opened the box, a ring was glittering inside. Eve squinted and read the inscription on the inside.

“You know you’re the one I love most, right? Eve…”

Eve’s face instantly flushed red before she cleared her throat and turned her head away. She grumbled.

“S-So cringey… Husband. Th-Why did you suddenly decide to buy something like this?”

“Just because I thought of you?”

The truth is most beautiful when left covered. There was no need to reveal the fact that all of this was a butterfly effect from a misdelivered gift, and explaining it would have been difficult anyway. At my words that I had thought of her, Eve clutched the ring tightly, the corners of her mouth twitching. Eve had a tendency to restrain herself from grinning goofily in front of me.

“You’re the cutest. Sieri… Hehe… Thank you. My Lord.”

Sieri was also beaming as she looked at her ring. Eve, upon hearing Sieri's inscription, twisted her lips in a slightly prim pout, then looked back at her own ring, her mouth twitching. I pushed the school uniforms toward them again and spoke.

“So. You'll wear this for me, right? This.”

“Well, I mean. I'll wear it since my husband is asking… but my legs aren't pretty, so short skirts aren't really my thing…”

Eve hesitated. I poked her with the box and said.

“Eve, you’re pretty no matter what you do.”

Eve became even more flustered at my words, shaking her head back and forth and rambling incoherently. She remembered that I hadn't done the handover yet and said.

“Um, don't you have to do the handover?”

“Did something special happen?”

“Ah, Karin came down this time, so…”

“That’s the matter I sent the official document about. I know all about it. This situation right now is more important to me than the handover, Eve. Sieri, you'll wear it too, right?”

“Ah, yes. Should I go change right now, too?”

Sieri was already holding the school uniform, showing her eagerness. Eve paused for a moment at the sight, then picked up the school uniform and said.

“Fine. I'll wear it right now, but… my legs are really not great, okay? They don't suit a skirt.”

“They’re legs I see every day. What of it? I could even lick them. Because they’re pretty.”

“What the…”

I considered having a threesome, but adding a 3P to the roleplay would probably just make things awkward for everyone, so it seemed better to call Sieri separately in the evening. As Eve left first to change, I stroked Sieri’s head and told her I’d see her in the evening. Sieri, knowing what “seeing her at night” meant, blushed deeply and nodded her head.

After both of them left, Aira and Elsi entered. Aira, perhaps happy to see me after a long time, threw herself into my arms and acted with cutesy charm. Elsi greeted me with that same sullen face of hers.

“Cleric. Good to see you.”

“Good to see you too, Elsi. Did you miss me?”

“…I missed you.”

Elsi answered, averting her gaze. The wagging of her tail was just too seductive. I handed school uniform boxes to Aira and Elsi as well. Aira, seemingly happy just to have received a box, stuck to my side like glue and started acting with cutesy charm.

“My Lord! To think you’d give me a gift like this… I’m so moved! Should I suck you off once?”

“No, Aira. I have to use it for something important today.”

“Something important?”

From this moment on, I am a senior in the academy's university division. I am a senior in the academy's university division.

“I'm going to fuck my junior.”

“What?”

“It’s just something like that. Understand?”

Elsi's eyes widened as she stared at the box, like a cat with a Churu treat in its mouth. Her tail stood up stiffly before sinking down again. She kept glancing back and forth between her gift and Aira’s box before asking me.

“Cleric. Is it all right to open the box here?”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

“Ah, then I'll…”

Aira and Elsi threw open their boxes at the same time. Inside, of course, were school uniforms. Aira, who had been staring blankly at the uniform, soon smiled and said to me.

“My Lord! The clothes are so pretty! I just have to wear this and have sex with you, right?”

As expected, Aira was quick on the uptake. I stroked her head, and Aira hurried out of the office, saying she had to store these clothes in her room. But Elsi remained in her spot, fidgeting restlessly, clutching the school uniform and glancing all over the place. I asked.

“What's wrong, Elsi?”

“Cleric. I-Isn’t there anything else besides this?”

Something else? What was she talking about? Did she want lingerie? I held up the lingerie. But Elsi shook her head. If not lingerie, then what?

“I didn't buy any food.”

“I’m not a glutton.”

At my mention of food, Elsi’s mood soured rapidly, and she scowled. But she soon relaxed her angry face and again looked back and forth between my bag and the box, looking anxious. What was it? What did she want? As I stared at her blankly, Elsi started dropping hints.

“Th-The… I heard from the mermaid and the nun. That you… ordered a ring.”

“Yes.”

“S-So, is there a ring?”

“Yes. There is.”

It was then that I caught on. It seemed Elsi thought I had bought a ring for her, too. For now, I took out my own ring. Elsi’s tail started wagging gently, and her ears twitched up and down like a wind-up doll's. Her eyes were wide, her pupils darting back and forth, following the ring box in my hand.

Her appearance was like that of a puppy, looking like it was about to fetch a frisbee at any moment, and I felt my lower body tense up. Fuck. Why was I getting an erection from thinking she was like a puppy?

“You mean this, right?”

“Y-Yes! Th-That’s…!”

“This is mine.”

Elsi’s ears drooped. She hung her head low and tucked her tail between her legs. I had to hold back my laughter. It was just too amusing watching a sulking Elsi. Being sullen, she started making excuses to match her mood.

“I-I knew that. It’s not like, I mean, um. I don’t really like accessories anyway. And…”

Elsi, who lacked the ability to speak in long sentences, wanted to appeal that she didn’t need accessories, but she couldn’t even manage that properly. She fidgeted with her cat paws, poking at the school uniform box. Her droopy, depressed ears and drawn-up knees looked so pitiful that I decided to give her the ring. It was a good thing I still had one more, after all. The jade health ring.

Come to think of it, it was a real stroke of luck that I ended up bringing the lingerie and ring without delivering them to Matilda. Seeing Elsi’s gloomy expression, if I wanted to soothe her, I would have had to conjure up another ring right here.

I stopped my prank and held out the ring box.

“I’m kidding. Here, take the ring.”

“Huh? H-Huh?”

Elsi’s tail shot up. Her ears also perked straight up, revealing her emotions plainly. Staring at the box I offered with a dazed expression, Elsi couldn’t bring herself to touch it, her hand trembling faintly.

“A-A ring?”

“Yes. It’s a ring. Of course, I prepared one for Elsi, too.”

“B-But I don't like things like accessories…”

“I’m giving it to you because I want to. Because Elsi is a very precious member of our family.”

“Ah, i-is that so. Th… The ring…”

Elsi carefully accepted the box and took out her claws to cut the wrapping. The packaging, touched by her sharply honed claws, tore apart easily, like thread against a blade. As she carefully opened the box lid with both hands, the jade ring revealed itself, emitting a glow.

“Ooh…”

Elsi’s heart was captivated by the jade’s mysterious light, her eyes sparkling. I snapped the box shut in front of her.

“Ah…”

The light in Elsi’s eyes went out. Just as the deflated Elsi was about to become gloomy again, I opened the box once more.

“Ooh…”

Elsi’s eyes began to sparkle again, and her still tail started to wag gently. I was overcome with the impulse to play with Elsi a few more times, but I had to restrain myself. I said.

“There’s an inscription inside, too.”

“What does it say?”

“You and me forever.”

“Uh…”

Hearing those words, Elsi froze, then her entire body, starting from her face, turned bright red as she clutched the ring tightly. Finding Elsi cute, I reached out my hand to stroke her.

“Elsi?”

“…”

Elsi didn’t answer, clutching the ring as she backed away. She hung her head low, her body trembling slightly, then looked up at me. Her clear, amber eyes were welling with moisture. She said to me.

“D-Don't come closer… Cleric. Right now, m-my expression is weird.”

“It’s the cutest in the world.”

“Ah, y-you shouldn’t say things like that. I'm smiling like an idiot… my expression gets weird…”

“It’s because you love me.”

“Love…?”

“You know what love is, don’t you, Elsi?”

“I know. But, but does the Cleric really love me? Not just the copulation to make me stronger, but you love me, too?”

“Of course, Elsi. The beastfolk I love the most is you, Elsi. Understand?”

“There you go again. It’s cheap. The Cleric must have cast a spell on me. Every time the Cleric speaks, my face gets strangely dumb, and my heart pounds. I-Is, is there magic on the ring? Is that it?”

I held Elsi’s hand tightly and said.

“I love you.”

“Hyaaaaak!”

Elsi jumped up and down, letting out a cute scream, then covered her face and ran away. I watched her retreating back and thought. Now, I should go have sex with Eve.
