Fate-san seemed satisfied after I’d doted on her for a while. She conjured another Floating Cushion, hopped onto it, and then, for some reason, manifested an identical one right in front of me.
"Kai-chan, hop on!"
"Huh? Oh, alright."
There was no real reason I couldn't just walk, but since I had no reason to refuse her suggestion either, I did as she said and climbed onto the cushion.
It was soft and comfortable, but even though I knew it was safe, being suspended in mid-air made me a little uneasy. I knew I wasn't going to fall, yet the sensation was still unnerving.
"Well then, let’s go~!"
"Whoa... this is actually pretty interesting, but why are we traveling like this?"
As she gave the signal, the cushion began to drift. It felt like I was on some kind of theme park Attraction. While it was fun, I was curious about the choice of transport, so I decided to ask.
"Oh, you see, I've filled my room with so many cushions that I can lie down whenever I want... I never really intended for people to walk through it, so I just made it easy for me to get around the way I usually do."
"Ah, that makes sense..."
I remembered the first time I'd visited Fate's Temple in the God Realm. I’d caught a glimpse of her room—well, it was more like a massive hall—and it had truly looked like a Sea of Cushions.
Back then, she’d been frantically trying to tidy up, but she clearly wasn't worried about keeping up appearances today. It looked like she was leading me straight into the heart of that cushion sea.
We drifted along on our Floating Cushions, passing right through the door to her room without even opening it. Once inside, I was greeted by a staggering sight. There were so many cushions packed together that the floor was completely invisible.
"Wow... seeing it like this, it's quite a spectacle. But really, why go to this extent?"
"It's so I can lie down whenever and wherever I want!"
"That's certainly very... 'you,' Fate-san."
"Plus, you can do this! Yah~!"
With a playful cry, Fate-san took a Dive from her Floating Cushion into the Sea of Cushions. It actually looked like a lot of fun—fairly tempting, even.
"See? You can just dive right in!"
"That does look like fun."
"Doesn't it? Come on, Kai-chan, you jump too! Don't worry, you won't hit the floor."
It reminded me of those ball pits in children’s play areas. To be honest, ever since I’d watched her dive, I’d been feeling the urge to do the same, so I appreciated the invitation.
The Floating Cushion was hovering at a bit of a height, so I hesitated for a second, but I decided to trust her and took the plunge.
"Well, here goes nothing. Hup! Whoa!?"
As I hit the Sea of Cushions, the sensation was far more elastic than I’d expected. It wasn’t exactly a trampoline, but there was enough spring to send my body rebounding upward.
I seemed to have bounced off at a strange angle, but just as I went flying... Fate-san caught me perfectly.
"Ehehe, caught you! Right where I wanted you."
"I was wondering why I bounced so weirdly. Did you do something?"
"Oh, adjusting the trajectory of a bounce is easy. I just made sure you’d fly toward me. See? I caught you so you wouldn't get hurt. Besides, I have big breasts, so I bet the landing felt nice, didn't it?"
"Well... I can't really deny that."
In truth, the sensation of my head being cradled against her chest was wonderful. And because Fate-san doesn't wear a bra, I could feel that softness directly against me.
The fact that they kept such a firm shape despite their size and the lack of support... I suppose I should expect nothing less from a God. Wait, what am I even thinking? I must be more flustered than I thought.
"Oh, Kai-chan, you're blushing! Hehe, you like them, don't you? Look, look, these breasts belong to you, Kai-chan~"
"Wait, Fate-san, what are you talking about?"
"Eh? But it's true!"
Fate-san gave me a mischievous, adorable smile. I could feel my face burning.
Serious-senpai: "Gah... Y-y-you... you're awfully well-acquainted with her 'under-clothing situation,' aren't you, Playboy... C-can't we just make this the End? Let's go back to talking about coffee, please? Pretty please?"
