Chapter 10.2

I switched to earphones for the call. He told me that it’s better if I could use both of my hands.

I didn’t know what we’re going to do, but I followed Yuugo’s instructions. It was because Yuugo seems like he’d be able to do something to help my current condition.

Yuugo was the only person I could rely on right now.

“The preparation is done.”

With my body that felt heavy from the heat’s fever, I pulled out the optional items that I had stored away without knowing what they were.

I put the round humidifier-like machine on the desk by the bed and plugged the cord.

{Then, press the power button.}

“…Hey, what’s this thing? You said I shouldn’t use it before.”

{That was at that time— But, I think you might need it now. If you don’t want to, say it now. I won’t force you to do this.}

“You’re not going to tell me what kind of item it is?”

{Sorry. It’s hard to explain.}

I’m sure that was what he said back then.

That it was hard to explain, and I’d understand it right away when I use it.

I stared at the round thing that was on the desk. I couldn’t tell what it was just by looking at it. I hesitantly moved my finger closer to the dimly glowing power button.

“…It’s okay to press it, right?”

{Yeah.}

“Okay, I’ll press it.”

Believing Yuugo, I pressed the power button.

The white button turned into light green color. The power must have turned on. But, there wasn’t any immediate change. It didn’t make any sound, nor did it produce smoke like a humidifier.

“Hey, what’s going to happen- …..Huh?”

The moment I was about to ask what the machine was doing, a change occurred in my body.

My vision swayed.

I felt my feet stagger a little, then I hurriedly sat down on a chair nearby.

“I feel somewhat… dizzy.”

{Don’t worry. It won’t get any stronger than that.}

“Was this the effect of that… thing?”

{That’s right. Try to take a breath slowly, you’ll feel even better.}

Yuugo’s voice that was coming through the earphones felt like it was seeping directly right into my head.

I took a breath slowly just like what I was told. It was faint, but I felt like there was a scent that was different than usual in my room.

Could it be, this scent was coming from that round thing?

“I can smell a scent…”

{Is it tough for you?}

“No….. I’m fine. It makes me feel somewhat lightheaded.”

I closed my eyes while sitting on the chair.

Every time I inhaled the faint scent, I began to feel numb inside my head. It was a sensation that I had felt somewhere before.

That’s right— I’m sure I felt like this when I inhaled that alpha’s scent.

“Is this… Alpha’s-…?”

{You guessed it. It’s the scent of alpha’s pheromone, but it’s okay. It won’t be like back then so you don’t have to worry. It’s just to calm you down… It didn’t feel tough, isn’t it?”

“Mm… I’m fine.”

Even when I heard that it was an alpha’s pheromone, I didn’t find it particularly frightening. As I inhaled this scent, my body relaxed on its own and the tension in my heart began to loosen.

The fever that was burning inside my body was no different from earlier, but I felt as if I was melting away.

The tingling that I felt deep inside my body also felt good. I moved my hips so that my crotch was rubbing against the seat of the chair. My voice came out on its own.

“…ngh.”

{Are you starting to feel good?}

“Mm… It tingles, and feels good…”

I stretched my hand to the part of my body that was craving for stimulation.

Even though I just touched it lightly, a strong stimulus ran through my body and I involuntarily twitched my body.

“Ah…. aah….”

I wonder what am I doing. Yuugo was on the other side of the call, and yet I make this kind of voice.

No, there’s no Yuugo. It was just an AI after all… That voice was from a machine and not a real one. I already knew that— But just for this time, I wanted to believe that Yuugo was really on the other side of the call.

Just at this time, I wanted to believe that this alpha is real.

“Yuugo… I still want it, after all.”

{Hm?}

“My backside feels lonely.”

I spilled out words that were coming from my omega instinct. I didn’t mind saying something like that now.

More than that, I wanted to do something about the tingling in my backside.

{Is the other box nearby?}

I turned my gaze to the top of the desk.

There was the other box of optional items that was also inside the paper bag there. That long and thin box.

“Well… yeah.”

{Bring it with you and let’s go to the bed.}

Yuugo’s voice gently guided me.
