Even though their budget and facilities had now improved drastically, it hadn't yet been long enough for Penny to be truly able to transform the 'Royal Knights' into the image she truly wanted.
Of course, Penny had still known right away when her princess had left class earlier, and came to Emilia, worried if something went wrong or if she needed help. She just didn't know the exact in and outs of the matter, and could only ask her princess directly before deciding what to do.
Just as she was getting worried about why there was still no response after so many knocks, the door swung open, and Penny found herself staring at a very annoyed Emilia. 'Oh no… I didn't make everything worse, right?'
"P-Princess! I-I… Did I bother you?"
Emilia was, of course, quite angry at being interrupted like that just as she was starting to have fun with Crystal.
Had it been anyone else, she would have surely punished them properly, but looking at the little munchkin who was only worried for her and wanted to help, Emilia found that her anger just faded away, like fire without oxygen.
She ruffled the girl's hair with a smile. "Nothing's wrong, Penny. But... shouldn't you still be in class?"
Penny gulped, her gaze having long since wandered to Emilia's bra, as the girl hadn't bothered fully buttoning her shirt up before opening the door. The sight was so sinful that it immediately reduced Penny's IQ by at least fifty points, or so she felt.
'A-Ah, Ah! Princess, s-she's so sexy! NO! Focus, Penny, princess needs help first! Only when she is happy, can I help myself!'
The blonde girl straightened up, standing at her full height of four feet. "I-I heard that princess had left early because of medical reasons, so I rushed out right away! Princess, tell me, how can I help?!"
Inwardly, she slurped, her eyes flicking to the 'offending' white cloth, as if wishing to burn right through it to look within. 'Also, after that, please give me the reward like last time!'
Cynthia couldn't help but squint her eyes. "There's something wrong about this little girl, but I can't quite put my finger on it…"
Emilia chuckled as she pulled the shorter girl into a hug, thinking that her partner was really too suspicious of everyone. She closed the door behind them as she led Penny to the fridge. "Why are you such a cutie pie, huh? Don't blame me for getting cavities later, because I can't resist giving you candies if you're like this!"
Penny hadn't thought that she would ever feel something better than when she had managed to rub her face against Emilia's belly, but today, having buried her face in the girl's cleavage, she knew she was wrong.
Of course, she couldn't wait to tear off that white cloth, but her princess was too precious, and Penny couldn't bear the thought of hurting her. She could only make do with what was given. Oh, but whatever she was given, she would happily take. And beg for more.
"P-Princess is too kind! I'm overwhelmed, c-can you please hug me again?"
Emilia sighed, wondering how someone could be so adorable as she pulled the blonde girl in for another hug. "Oh you, so cute!"
This time, Penny was fully prepared, and lay a pious kiss on Emilia's breast, cherishing the short moment and imprinting it on her mind for life before Emilia pulled her away to take out the candies she had promised from the fridge.
Samantha had been pleasantly surprised to 'discover' that her little sister had liked the things so much that she was already running out, and had of course stocked the fridge full again with even better stuff. This time, Emilia took out a big box full of truffles.
The lack of branding on the wrapping would normally mean they were cheap, but Penny knew they must be terrifyingly expensive. Well, if her princess touched them, they would already be precious enough for her, regardless of their actual cost.
"C-Can I take a few more?"
Emilia rubbed the short girl's head endearingly. "Take whatever you like."
Of course, she had felt what Penny did, but thinking it was just an accident, Emilia didn't dwell on it. After all, she was the one who pulled Penny into her cleavage, it wasn't the little girl's fault if her lips brushed her, right?
Meanwhile, Crystal hadn't really needed to rearrange her clothing like Emilia when Penny interrupted them. But compared to Emilia's free nature, she was feeling incredibly embarrassed right now, to the point that she didn't even dare to look anyone in the eye.
Even when Emilia handed her the truffle, she took it without looking, and would have almost put it into her mouth along with the paper Emilia had handed it with if not for the girl's hand stopping her just in time.
"Silly, you have to look at what you eat, you know?"
Crystal's face burned even worse, and she sneaked a glance at Penny, wondering what the girl must be thinking, only to end up staring blankly. As the girl hurriedly stuffed as many candies and chocolates as she could into her bag, pockets, and even shirt, Crystal wondered what in the world she planned to do with them later.
Emilia unwrapped Crystal's candy for her before popping it into her mouth. "Here you go."
'S-So good!' The heroine couldn't help but be shocked after a while. "W-Where are these from?!"
Emilia tilted her head with a smile. "I'm not sure where these are from specifically, Sam just told me they were from some artisan candy makers that have worked for us often. Do you like it?"
Crystal nodded. "These are amazing! It's filled with this chewy thing… some kind of fruit? I can't tell."
Emilia smirked. "Is it tastier than what you had earlier?"
Crystal choked.
