The blonde elf was stunned for a moment, then protested.
"Huh? Are we allowed to let elf maidens show their bellies so brazenly now?"
"No, it’s just because I was worried about being seen by others, I specifically used the Teleportation Gate to return to your bedroom."
"That’s not the point! Why did you suddenly make such a request, when earlier in the Maple Forest Clearing, you seemed so relaxed. Did your beastly desires suddenly kick in, Shami? Such perverted behavior!"
Lureya stared at Shami with wide eyes, loudly criticizing while her small hands obediently reached for the hem of her shirt, slowly lifting it to reveal her smooth little tummy.
"You’re complaining with your mouth, but your actions are quite cooperative!"
"I can’t help it, you’ve already used the Teleportation Gate to take us back to the room, leaving the elf maiden with no chance to escape from the start!"
The elf maiden pouted her little mouth, turned her face away, and sighed.
"Besides, if I resist, you’d just use a curse to force the maiden to make unwilling moves, so I might as well cooperate."
"At least show some spirit of resistance for me!"
Shami teased as he explained the reason for asking Lureya to show her belly this time.
"The last time I studied the Magic Array, coincidentally during your busy Water Magic period, I barely researched it before it ended."
"How can you blame me so naturally! I was studying Water Magic because of you, wasn’t I? How absurd to put your lecherous desires on me!"
Lureya dropped the hem of her shirt, grabbed Shami’s collar with both hands, and shook vigorously.
"And don’t think I don’t know, I just pretended not to be aware. Talking about the Magic Array, isn’t the mark on my belly just a ○ pattern! Branding a ○ pattern on an elf maiden’s belly, you’re something else, Shami! I might never get to attend swimming lessons at school again!"
The elf maiden spoke as if she almost wanted to push the boy in front of her down onto the bed and give him a good beating.
"Alright, alright, it’s 100% a Magic Array."
"Don’t say that while nervously looking around!"
The elf maiden let go of Shami’s shirt sleeve and casually patted the wrinkled part smooth, then slightly raised her emerald, gem-like eyes to gaze over.
"So? Are you using this excuse to touch my belly again today?"
"Don’t make scientific research sound so vulgar, Lureya." Shami said seriously, "Primarily, I discovered that through this ○ pattern, you might gain stronger power."
"You’ve already admitted it!"
"That mage from Fata appeared, right?" Shami pondered while rubbing his chin, "Regardless of what her purpose is, we must strengthen ourselves so we can handle any emergency situations."
Shami briefly explained the events of that morning.
Of course, he didn’t mention the private thought he had about how excellent the little flat golden retriever’s feet looked at the time, which might make her pleased with herself.
After listening, Lureya fell into a brief silence.
"From the looks of it, she seems to want to learn more about that Humanoid Race through you, don’t all Magical Girls have such strange hobbies? Peeking at little dog ○○, and being interested in Humanoid Races and such."
Shami paused for a moment.
It seemed like he had heard something astonishing.
The elf maiden wasn’t too willing to get close to Saili because every time she was near Saili, she felt overpowered, even though their busts were about the same size, the overwhelming feeling was particularly real, making the blonde girl retreat.
Lureya looked at Shami, but still opened her little mouth, "I’ve had a lot of contact with Lina earlier, although they were mostly simple greetings. But later, I can find more opportunities to get closer to her, see if I can get some information."
"Lureya, you’ve grown up."
Shami felt comforted.
"Being praised by you doesn’t make me happy at all!"
The reason Shami came here was also to get Lureya to pay more attention to Saili’s actions, and now a few words had made everything clear.
Now, onto the main event.
"Alright, show your belly."
Lureya slowly raised the hem of her shirt, revealing a snowy white belly, her skin delicate as a cloud, without any blemish.
Shami prepared to lean in closer.
The next instant, the elf maiden lay back, laying down on the bed, pressing a silhouette into the white bedding, her small face turned to the side, lips lightly pursed, golden eyelashes still, her eyes holding a bit of shyness as she looked sideways, giving a look as if saying "do as you wish".
"Why did you suddenly lie down?"
"You talked like you were going to take a long time, and squatting down would get tiring. Standing would get tiring for me too, so I might as well lie down..."
Shami looked at the flat golden retriever with its body on the bed past the knees, leaving two slender calves on the edge of it.
"In that case, I can’t think of a better way to research this now."
"Do whatever you want with that stuff, I won’t resist anyway."
Lureya’s little face gradually turned red hot.
Shami thought for a moment.
With that being the case, he could only use that method.
He knelt on the sides of Lureya’s closed legs, hovering over the elf maiden’s thighs without actually sitting down.
Slowly leaning forward, looking towards Lureya’s belly.
