Epic Of Caterpillar

I think I ended overdoing it with poor little Sakura. She was strong enough to bear through all of it, but after some hours, she passed out on the spot and took a while to wake up again. In the meantime, I decided to cuddle with her and use my magic to heal her well. Before the whole ordeal, I learned from her about the status of everyone.

Scarlet had already recovered just a day ago inside the World Realm and had been eating well and playing with her siblings and her aunties. Nixephine and Nesiphae weren't around sadly, but she was beloved by everyone, so she didn't feel alone. The Vampires also all recovered, Alice had been taking care of little Alucard, and Gaby's family has been working hard to manage the Atlantean Sea that was born in here.

Aside from them, there was Yggdrantia and Faylen, who have become much closer friends. Both have been helping however they could the rest of the population, who have been shaken time and time again due to the constant changes inside of the World Realm.

And now, after probably having slept almost eight hours, I woke up with Sakura, feeling much better. She seemed slightly embarrassed about having passed out though.

"I'm so sorry, I have a poor constitution even after becoming a Pseudo Supreme Goddess…" She apologized, covering her face in shame.

"Don't worry about the details, you did well." I hugged her while patting her shoulders and giving her little kisses in her cheek. "It was really good, I loved it."

"R-Really?" She asked me with her big, pink eyes.

"Yes, I wouldn't mind doing it again any time." I whispered to her ears, making her shiver a bit.

"A-Ah, m-maybe later? B-But not now, I am a still tired… I'm sorry." She apologized.

"It's fine, I was just saying~" I hugged her. "Don't apologize for everything, Sakura. It is fine to say what you think. I will understand."

"A-Ah, well… Yes, I suppose…" She said timidly. "I just… Well, I was raised as just another spider in the colony, so I learned since I was born to obey my superiors. Even after that war in the Grand Forest, when we joined you after our Empress was defeated. I was always obeying things, slightly afraid of everything. It was… very surprising when you chose me amongst every other maid to be the head maid, a-and then you accepted my feelings…"

"Aww, is that so? Don't worry about those things, Sakura! You're not a servant anymore, you're my wife." I laughed, patting her shoulders. "I understand how you felt though. I should have been nicer and more welcoming. But back then, I was… well, rougher around the edges. I'm sorry."

"E-Eh? There's nothing to apologize, Kireina-sama…" Sakura looked at me slightly confused. "Y-You've surely changed, you're so gentle and attentive. W-well, not like you weren't before but…"

"I'm trying to improve a bit." I sighed, holding her hand. "So how are your friends doing? I remember you once talked me that some were getting married?"

"Oh yes! Tittina and Kristine are married already! They recently laid an egg each, so they will be mothers soon! They never stop talking about their husbands! Fufu, I am so happy to see them get so far in life. I remember when we were all just wild spiders trying to survive. You've gave us such a wonderful life, even if we have to work hard, they're so fulfilling." Sakura smiled, looking into the beautiful blue sky from the window. "Life has given so many turns, it sometimes makes me think I am in some sort of dream…"

"I have to agree there, it has truly given many turns." I nodded, cuddling in bed and dragging her back inside. "Sometimes I really don't know what will happen next, and it… it scares me a bit."

"Y-You? It scares you, Kireina-sama?" Sakura gasped a bit.

"Hey, you may think of me as someone invincible, huh? I am still myself, a person… And I have many of the same fears as just anybody." I laughed. "Sorry to disappoint you, Sakura."

"O-Oh, no, it's not a disappointment or something…" Sakura rubbed her face on my chest. "It just made me realize how wonderful you are. Even when you're afraid, you still keep fighting… I suppose this is what has made me fall so much in love with you, Kireina-sama… Your love for your people, and your relentless spirit… You're everything I could ever ask for."

"S-Sakura…" I blushed a bit after her words. I had never had such a deep conversation with her before. But I think it feels really nice. She's so cute and smart. "When you put it that way, you're only making me love you even more too. You're a hard worker despite your shortcomings, and always do your best in what you can do. I think you're also an ideal girl for me, Sakura." I caressed her pink hair, as she blushed even more.

"Geez, saying so many romantic things… you're making me love you more and more, Kireina-sama…!" She began adorably kissing my lips, I hugged her back while we cuddled in the warm bed.

"Is that so? If it means I get more of these little kisses, then I'll make sure to conquer your heart over and over again." I hugged her, kissing her lips and then her neck. "Hmm, I can't get enough of your smell. What perfume do you use?"

"Heheh, perfume? It is my natural smell!" She puffed her chest adorably.

"E-Eh? Really?! Amazing… You're so cozy to be around, Sakura! Come here!" I hugged her and started tickling her belly. She giggled at that, as we ended playing a bit in bed before finally waking up.

"Mamaaaaa!"

However, our time alone came to an end quite quickly as Scarlet and many of her siblings burst the door open, jumping over the bed and hugging me.

"Oh, my babies! Hi! Good morning to everyone!" I was engulfed in a sea of hugs.
