Chapter 223: A Group Photo?

“I’m not sitting alone. Liz just went to get some water.”

“So you don’t want me to keep you company?”

“Coming to me after Rea and Raya left?”

“I guess so.” The Paru chuckled as he shrugged. “Rea is probably coming back soon though.”

“I see…”

Roka’s eyes narrowed as Lith took a seat between them and rested the side of her side on the Paru’s shoulder.

“The two of you sure are close.” Roka muttered as she took a sip from her glass.

“Yeah.” The Paru directed his towards Lith for a moment. “Of course we’re close.” His gaze went back to Roka. “It wouldn’t be wrong to call her my wife, you know?”

“Ha! That’s funny.”

“It is?”

Roka frowned slightly as she took another sip.

“I can never tell if you’re fucking with me or being serious.”

“Yeah… I am tired of fucking with you.”

“Right, so be more serious instead.”

“Be more serious… If I stop fucking with you, then being serious means fucking you, right?”

“I-I’m not sure where that leap of logic came from.”

“Well…” The Paru gently pushed Lith off his shoulder, circled his arm around her. and laid his hand on her shoulder.

“Uwaa…” The female Granilith yawned as she lay the side of her head on his chest, feeling comfortable in his embrace.

“We’re as close as I said we were.”

Roka’s hand, holding the glass, suddenly twitched, seeing him hold her that way.

‘No, no… It doesn’t mean anything. It’s the same as cuddling… Well, anything! Doesn’t mean anything, necessarily.’ The Commander thought to herself, nodding repeatedly. “I see you’re still hell-bent on fucking with me.” Roka chuckled as she shook her head. “Bringing Lith into it was a nice addition but-”

The Commander suddenly went silent as Lith turned her face towards the Paru’s chest and deposited a kiss on him.

“W-Wha…?!”

The Paru scratched his chin for a moment.

“Stop staring, weirdo.”

“I-”

“You said that you were only a virgin and not a weirdo as well, but you keep staring… I’m really not sure if I can believe what you said previously.”

“You-”

“Hey, hey.” Liz called out, approaching them.

She stopped upon arriving in front of them, unsure where to sit.

“Ah!” Liz’s wrist had suddenly been grabbed by the female Granilith. “Wait…!”

Lith had pulled her forcefully, causing her to fall on the Paru’s lap.

Finding herself suddenly seated on the Paru’s lap in front of everyone, Liz’s body froze.

Her gaze slowly and mechanically moved towards Lith.

“W-What… What was that for?”

“Uwaaa… Uwaaaa…” The female Granilith repeated with the back of her head against the Paru’s chest and her eyes closed, acting like she was asleep and yawning.

“Looks like she fell asleep.” The Paru muttered as he took a sip.

“Yeah, that’s unfortunate.” Liz chuckled. “Guess we’ll have to wait for an answer.”

“I guess so.”

The Soldier shivered as a hand was laid on her lower back.

The Paru was seated to Lith’s left, and Roka to Lith’s right.

Liz was on his lap, seated while facing Roka’s direction.

The hand that he lay on her lower back couldn’t be seen by the Commander.

Still, it was enough to make Liz blush.

“Did you get your water?” He asked.

“Yeah. That dispenser sure is useful, turning the water in the atmosphere into… Well, anyways…” Liz cut her explanation short as the Paru’s hand started stroking her lower back.

Meanwhile, Roka’s face had turned redder than the wine they were drinking.

Her gaze repeatedly moved from Lith, Liz, and the Paru they were sitting against or on, then away, then back to them.

‘What the… What the hell is this?’ Roka shouted in her head, rubbing her face with a hand.

Liz gulped, noticing Roka’s reaction.

Of course, it would look weird, being seated on his lap. While she didn’t care about the guys noticing, which they had, Roka was a different question. She was the Soldier’s Commander, and one of the people she was closest to. This didn’t mean Liz would tell Roka everything, or anything about her relationship with the Paru… For now.

“What’s up?”

“W… What’s happening exactly?”

“What do you mean?” Liz asked, trying not to react to the Paru’s strokes.

“Y-you’re seated on him. And she’s… Lying on him.”

“Yeah.” Liz scratched her head. “So?” Shru shrugged.

“W-What do you mean so? It’s… Lewd…”

Liz managed to make a slight frown appear on her face despite the fact that she actually wanted to chuckle and laugh.

“Lewd? Please don’t make this weird.”

“Wha… How am I making it weird?”

“Lying on him or touching him is normal. We’re from different Species, remember? Just some time ago, he couldn’t even talk.”

“Yes, but…”

“What’s wrong with sitting on him? There was a time when he used to sit on Kris, wasn’t there?” Liz asked as she looked away towards…

“There sure was… There sure was!” Kris shouted, obviously having drunk a bit too much. “You were so cute too, sitting on my lap! Now, we don’t even talk that much…” he buried his face into his hands. “Man… They seriously grow up too fast…”

“Well, he’s not a pet anymore.” Al shrugged.

“But he was once.” Liz nodded as she turned back towards Roka. “So… I don’t think that’s enough to make it weird, you know? Having a pet sitting on your lap is normal, isn’t it?”

Liz, too, had drunk a bit.

“So you’re calling yourself my pet?” The Paru whispered. “I didn’t expect that from you, let alone in front of everyone.”

“…” Liz gulped, doing her best to put that behind her and ignore it, as only she and Lith had heard his whisper. “A-Anyways-”

“Did someone call for a pet?” A whisper resonated from behind Liz, interrupting her. “What are we doing here?” Rea asked, her gaze moving from Liz, to the Paru, to Lith. “Taking a group photo?”
