Yuri, who had fallen onto a soft surface, looked around frantically and, seeing a person in her line of sight, let out a startled cry, “Ack!” “What… what!? What’s going on!?” Yuri realized her hair was blonde and her chest was considerably larger. “Wh-what?! Where am I?” A lamp by the bedside provided light, allowing her to see the room. It was a room with calm colors, and not one she recognized. “This is my room,” said the man in the room. The man with flowing blonde hair and a beautiful, androgynous face was Kuga. “Huh? My room… wait, what?! Lord Kuga… is this another one of Ashlan’s schemes? I thought it was all over, but—what?!” Yuri was completely bewildered. (What does he mean, ‘my room’? Could this possibly be the Sanctuary?!) “Where are we?” “This is the Sanctuary.” “What?” Yuri’s mouth gaped open. “This time, I asked the Great God. I’ve decided to stop being human for a while, so I asked for a different favor.” “What do you mean?” “I’d like you to come here occasionally so I can unwind. You already have twenty lovers; surely one more wouldn’t hurt.” Yuri was frozen in place. “…Ah, I get it. This is a dream.” “It’s not a dream.” “Abruptly being in the Sanctuary… no way… hahaha…” “It’s the Sanctuary.” Kuga smiled gently. “Uh… Lord Kuga, I thought you weren’t interested in me.” “There’s no way I could do anything to you in the King’s castle. You’re the Queen, after all. So please come as Lady Garbera. Let’s make it the 15th night of even-numbered months. Odd-numbered months have the third month, which wouldn’t be good.” “W-wait a moment. I can’t get my head around this… Lord Kuga, do you actually like me or something?” “Let’s just say that’s the case.” “Just say that…” “The Great God hasn’t taken a liking to any other woman this much. The more I learn about you, the more interesting you become. You truly have the qualities of a goddess. Your radiance seems to heal my heart as well.” “No, it can’t. You should get close to one of the women from the Sanctuary.” (The sudden turn of events is too much for my mind to handle. Someone explain this to me!) Yuri screamed internally.
