“Hmph.”

Mika hugged me somewhat dispiritedly. She had been rubbing my chest until a while ago, and now stated that I should do the same with hers. I really would’ve liked to do exactly as she said, but it was still morning, so I would hold myself back.

“There, there.”
“Eh-heh-heh.”

I put the Tozumaho aside and patted her head instead. Mika reacted with an overjoyed smile.
She is the cutest, after all.

At any rate, it looked like she was spacing out and thinking about something earlier. I wonder what that was. Better ask her.

“Hey, Mika. What were you thinking about earlier?”
“Right, I was thinking about your pr-”
“My pr-…?”

Is she talking about my birthday present?
That’s probably it. Makes me happy…

After giving me a look, as if she wanted to say “oops”, she hurriedly corrected herself.

“You pr… oteins. Right, your proteins¹!”

That’s her explanation…? No, she simply changed what she said. Judging from how she acts, she was clearly thinking about what to do for me on my birthday, right?

…What’s this about my proteins?

“My proteins…?”
“R-Right! You’re so soft Alim, so I was thinking if someone ate you, you’d contain lots of proteins.”

That’s a scary thought. I don’t like the idea of being eaten… I might be okay with it, if it was Mika, but even then, I’d probably hurt a lot, so no way!

“Uhm… I wouldn’t taste very good.”
“I didn’t mean that,” Mika replied with a serious look.
“Huh?”

Eh… did I misunderstand what she was saying? Why do I have to get dragged into this?

“Ha-ha-ha… well… about that…”
“Uhm, can we stop talking about that? Alright?”
“Ah, sure. You’re right.”

She ended up calling off that line of thought, but that was probably for the best. Yup.

After that, I read a book while putting up with her antics. She pulled my cheeks, rubbed my breasts again, used my lap as a pillow, playfully bit my ear, and kissed me on my cheek and mouth.

At noon, we had lunch. We ate soba noodles and Tempura, the first Japanese food in a long time, other than the Sushi recently.

“Phew, that was delicious. In that case…”

As soon as we finished eating and moved to the couch, Mika hugged me. I returned the hug.

“That’s nice, isn’t it? The first relaxing day in quite some time.
“It sure is,” I agreed, while patting her head.
“Eh-heh. For the last two months, we’ve always been busy, haven’t we.”
“Right.”

This time, she was the one to pat my head.

“…Come to think of it, there was something a bit ago.”
“Hm?”

Mika seemed to have recalled something.
What again happened a short time ago?

“That thing, when I defeated tens of thousands of demons and magic beasts with my magic, right?”

A short time…? That was two months ago!
Well, whatever.

“True. It was thanks to you that we completely wiped out our enemies. You did well.”
“Then how about giving me some reward? I’d settle for a kiss… well, that wasn’t the only thing I meant to say. I was wondering how many experience points piled up because of that.”
“Oh…”

Recently, we’d been way too busy with our idol gigs and spending time with Karua and the others, so we never checked our status screens and the exp storage function on the Tozumaho.

She’s right… Mika should have killed something between 60’000 and 70’000 enemies.

In general, the foes there varied from D- to SS-Rank. There were also lots of subspecies. Just how high did that number go?

“Then… should we check it?”

I was about to take out my Tozumaho. Only, Mika restrained me by putting more power in her hug.

“What’s wrong?”
“If you check it… you’ll be busy with stuff on the stat screen… and once you do that, you’ll probably pay no more attention to me, so I’m taking advantage of that while I still can. Come on, could you turn back into Ayumu for now?”

I did as she asked me to and turned into a boy.

“All right~… Eh-heh-heh, I’ll be taking that reward, then! Will you give me a kiss… a French kiss, that is?”
“Sure, that’s fine.”

Mika and I kissed. After about 10 minutes had passed, Mika looked satisfied. She seemed to have lost all strength and laid down, using my legs as a pillow.

“Eh-heh~… this is the best…”
“…Yep.”
“T-Then… let’sh do it, time to check thoshe numbersh.”

Slurring her words, Mika took out her Tozumaho. I brought out mine, too, and opened the exp storage app for the first time in months.

“Right… that’s about as crazy as expected.”
“Yeah…”

Mika and I both fell silent. I hadn’t looked at my exp in a long time, so I might’ve lost my resistance to those numbers. I was quite shocked.

The Tozumaho showed how many experience points we had obtained.
That should be enough to use Reincarnation lots and lots of times… Let me see… around 350 times…?

TL notes:
Back to Alim’s PoV with more silliness until we get to the meat of this (longer) intermission in Mephilad. Indeed, there’s actually three more Alim/Mika chapters this time and they even have some real plot, not just nonstop flirting!

Also, 350 times the exp cap would be 3’220’000’000 exp. That would require 8994 rounds through Alim/Mika’s dungeon, 3500 rounds for Shuu/Rir, and 2658 for Kanata/Sakura. Just to put into perspective what a staggering number of foes Mika defeated in a matter of minutes.

1. In the original, she starts to say 誕生日 (“birthday”) but corrects herself to タンパク質 (“proteins). The first syllable of both words is the same in Japanese.
