The Seirei Gensouki Spirit Chronicles
The Girl with Animal Ears, Loves to Be Carried!

One day, after about a year passed since Rio and Latifa started living in the village …

“It's celebration!”

“It's time to celebrate!” Sara and Alma were having tea in the living room, when Tibatiba, Latifa entered with Vera behind her and approached them.

“W-Wah! What's up, Latifa? Vera?”

“Latifa told me about it, Sara! He said that Rio admitted you during the practice this morning. We should celebrate!” Said Vera.

“K-You don't have to make a big deal out of it..” Sara shook her head with a strained smile at her sister's insistence.

“Fufufu. No need to try to play quietly! ”

“Betul! I know my brother is really happy about it deep down! ” Both Latifa and Vera said with triumphant expressions.

“Indeed, Sara's mood has been good since morning practice ended. She even grinned for no particular reason,” muttered Alma from where she was sitting, across from Sara.

“A-i don't! I'm not grinning!” Sara objected nervously, a red hue on her cheek.

“Yes geez. Sara is not being honest with herself! ”

“I totally agree.”

“Guh ...” Sara is getting flushed on Vera and Latifa who are showing the truth.

“So, we have decided to fulfill one of my brother's wishes. Mention your wishes!” Vera cleared her throat and proudly puffed out her chest.

“A-I don't need anything special, really.”

“Don't say that! What do you want?” Latifa asked.

“I ... That's not something I can answer directly on the spot ..”

“Hah? Really true? I can think of many things I want ..” Latifa muttered softly.

“What's it like?”

“Such as having Onii-chan give me her cooking, or having Onii-chan lend her a lap to lie under the sun, or having Onii-chan defend me...” Latifa counted it with her fingers as she called it , one by one.

“M-They all have something to do with Rio!” Shouted Sara, surprised.

“Fufu! But .. I'm sure you want him to do that to you, too. I bet you pictured it in your mind, didn't you?” Latifa said with a satisfied smile.

“Ugh ... H-Just a little, though! Maybe a little crossed my mind.” Sara answered honestly, but her embarrassment made her duck. That was when Orphia returned from her duties outside.

“I'm home! …uh? What's up, Sara?” He looked at Sara with his gaze fixed down and tilted his head inquiring.

“Welcome home, Orphia.”

“My sister has something she wants Rio to do to her!” Latifa and Vera replied with one synchronized breath.

“Oh, really? Sara?” Orphia asked, examining Sara closely.

“A-i don't! Both of them just asked me if there was anything I wanted them to do for me. Not that I want Rio to bribe me food by hand, or let me use his lap as a pillow, or defend me or anything ——? Sara desperately denied everyone when her eyes were on Rio, who was standing behind Orphia. He froze in the middle of the sentence, as if time had stopped.

“Umm ... I went home, Sara,” greeted Rio awkwardly when Sara's face flushed in embarrassment.

“Whoa .. Sara, your face is a dead red,” said Orphia with a wry smile. Sara stood up with her trembling legs and walked to the corner of the room. He crouched down and buried his head in his hands.

“Uugh ..” she moans. His ears and tail were wagging about this and that.

“I've never seen Sara behave like this before,” said Alma, her eyes widened.

“Good? What should we do?” Orphia asked with a troubled look.

“We should have asked Rio to caress her!” Vera offered her brilliant advice.

“The best way to get rid of a gloomy mood is by stroking.” Rio's eyes widened in shock, while Sara's body shook.

“A-What are you saying, Vera ?!” Sara stood up firmly, rejecting Vera's delighted words in confusion.

“Oh? Don't you want Rio to defend you, big brother? ”

“Uh ... I .. Something childish ..” Staring into Vera's pure and innocent eyes leaves Sara at a loss for words.

“I think I'll ask him to defend me.” Orphia stood up, choosing herself.

“I want to be stroked too!”

“I too, of course!”

Shamefully Alma announced her intention to join the offer, followed by Vera and Latifa taking part. The girls started to approach Rio jokingly. Sara was the only one left behind, watching the scene of them playing with blank stares. After a pause, Sara came to her senses with a breath of breath.

“A-I want to be stroked too! Anyway, this is my celebration!” he yelled. All the other girls exchanged amused expressions.

“OK, you go first,” the girls instantly say in unison, and retreat from Rio at once.

“Hah? Ah ...” With no more obstructions between her and Rio, Sara's eyes wandered, hesitatingly avoiding eye contact. Latifa spun around behind him and gently pushed him backwards.

“K-Wah, err, umm, ah, Rio ..” As soon as she stood in front of him, Sara raised her head and looked at Rio with teary eyes.

“Erm ... Is this okay?” Rio smiled tensely and stroked Sara's head.

“T-Thank you ... very .. much ...” Sara says thanks for the embarrassment. His ears and tail moved happily.

We Want Mixed Baths!

Latifa came to the village hot spring with Sara and the other girls.

“Mrrghh ..” They were in the dressing room; Latifa grumbled when she saw the girls changing.

“Erm, Latifa? It's a shame if you look at me so. ” said Sara, her cheeks flushed. He pulled his shirt tightly shut.

“Is there a problem?” Orphia tilted her head curiously.

“No... I just want to know if men prefer bigger chests.” Latifa's gaze was fixed on Orphia, who had the largest chest of those present.

Orphia was only 13 years old, her physical development had matured a little further compared to other elf girls her age, but if anything, her physique was more on the petite side. He may not have room for much more growth in the future.

“Ahaha, who knows. I'm an elf, so I probably won't be bigger than this. Sara is a werebeast, so I think she has the potential to further develop.” Orphia grinned and blushed.

“What— you said it was, but you're the one with the bigger chest here, Orphia! And I'm a year older! ” Sara responds with confusion.

“... You two are insensitive. Latifa too. No matter how worried you are, you will never be smaller than me.” As a dwarf, Alma pouted her lips slightly.

“L-Latifa is only 11 years old now. You shouldn't think about these things until you're a little older. It's still too early for you,” Sara berates Latifa, after noticing Alma's denouncing gaze.

“Hrmph ..” Latifa grumbled uneasily. Having people in his mind always by his side made him a justified consideration to have.

“Come, take off your clothes so we can take a shower now.”

“Good!” At Sara's insistence, Latifa undressed and walked towards the bathtub.

“Fiuh, this is what it is called happiness ..” After washing her body, Latifa sank into the bath water and sighed. He sat in the bathtub with his knees hugged to his chest and his face looked forward and let his gaze wander unfocused.

I hope Onii-chan will pay a lot of attention to me at the time we have before she leaves the village.

Recently, she made a list of the things she wanted Rio to do for her and the things she wanted to do for Rio inside her head every day.

“Ehehe.” As she imagined things, Latifa smiled happily.

“What's up, Latifa? Now that you seem happy about something,” Sara asked with a somewhat pleased expression.

“I just thought about how much more fun it would be if Onii-chan took a shower with us,” Latifa replied shamelessly with a carefree smile.

“A-What did you say ?! There's no way it'll be allowed!” Sara blushed as she shouted.

“Eeeh? But it would be great fun if everyone could hang out in the hot springs together at least once ... Don't you think so?” he said with an unhappy expression.

“True, that sounds fun,” Orphia agreed with him in a gentle tone.

“Even you too, Orphia!”

“Onii-chan uses the same hot spring, so it would be better to gather together. Do you think it's too late to ask him to join us now? ”

“... Now that you mention it, the boys bathroom is right over here, "murmured Alma supports Latifa when she thinks out loud.

“Hah? Really true? Then if I call Onii-chan, she can come right away? ”

“H-Hey! What if he really came here? ” Latifa raised her voice happily, but Sara stopped her in confusion. Orphia and Alma laughed amusedly at the two of them. … I will never, thought Rio himself from the bathroom next door.
