Translator's Note:

Hello, I hope you've all been doing well.

 

I’ve finished setting up the Bella Novels Discord server! You can join us using this invite. There, you’ll be able to easily follow chapter updates for the novel(s) of your choice—along with access to many other features and community content.

I’m also introducing something new: the Chapter Boost System! This system lets you accelerate a novel’s releases by one, five, or even ten chapters.

Join the Discord to learn more about how it works and take part in this new feature!

 

If you’re able to provide me with the Raws of the Novels I need, you'll be the first person to receive my translation of them. You’ll also gain instant access to up to 30 advanced chapters for the novel of your choice, OR you can also request a SuperBoost for that novel.

For more details, you can check out the Raw Provider new page. 

 

And, as I said before, if you wish to read ahead, you can head over to my Patreon to get early access to all the translated chapters.

Here you go, and I wish you a good read. 

Chapter 39

 

 

—What am I thinking… at a time like this?

 

Amber shook his head repeatedly, trying to banish the heat coursing through his body. It was no use—his pulse drummed louder in his ears, defying his will.

 

Just then, Ange, attempting to step into the bathtub, wavered and nearly lost his balance.

 

"Watch out!"

 

Amber moved instantly, catching Ange's delicate frame from behind.

 

"..."

 

The limp weight of Ange's body, leaning heavily against him, made Amber realize how drained he truly was.

 

"Sorry, I slipped," Ange muttered, his voice faint and lacking its usual strength.

 

"Are you alright?"

 

"I'm fine."

 

With Amber's support, Ange gently lowered himself into the tub, dipping his feet in and slowly sinking into the warm water.

 

"…Does it sting?"

 

"A little… but once I'm in, it's alright."

 

"I'm glad to hear that. I'll wait in the room, so take your time. If you need anything, just call me."

 

Just as Amber was about to leave, Ange's hand reached out, catching his own, stopping him.

 

"What is it?"

 

Amber turned back to see Ange's pale blue eyes gazing up at him, filled with a quiet vulnerability.

 

"…Aren't you going to join me?"

 

"W-what? I mean, it's kind of cramped in here, and I thought you'd want to relax on your own…"

 

"You were the one who suggested we shower together earlier."

 

"...Yeah, but…"

 

"It's fine. Get in."

 

With a gentle yet insistent tug, Ange pulled on Amber's hand.

 

It wasn't a strong pull, but still, Amber found himself losing his balance, toppling forward into the bathroom.

 

"Ah!"

 

His feet slipped on the wet floor, and though the moment passed in a flash, to Amber, it felt like slow motion as the edge of the tub rushed toward him.

 

With a loud splash, Amber's upper body plunged headfirst into the tub, while his legs remained awkwardly on the bathroom floor.

 

"Are you alright?"

 

"..."

 

"Amber?"

 

Despite Ange's calls, Amber remained still, his head submerged between Ange's legs, seemingly wedged into place.

 

"Hey, are you okay?!"

 

Worried, Ange reached out to check on him, but before he could, Amber suddenly burst up from the water with a dramatic splash.

 

"Phew! I thought I was done for!"

 

Amber wiped his soaked hair from his face, grinning brightly at Ange. Water droplets slid from his jet-black hair, and the wet shirt clung tightly to his body, revealing the sculpted muscles of his chest and abdomen. The sight was strangely captivating, sending Ange's heart into a frantic rhythm.

 

"Y-you idiot! I thought you'd hit your head or something!"

 

Ange quickly turned his gaze away, embarrassed, while his face flushed with heat.

 

The intoxicating scent that radiated from Amber grew stronger, filling the small space and tickling Ange's senses. His body, which had felt so cold before, now started burning with sudden warmth.

 

—Ange knew all too well what this sensation meant.
