Shield Hero With Barrier Magic

(Eclair's POV)

I woke up to find Hiro still embracing me while holding my hand... I remembered the events of last night and immediately a smile formed on my face... I kissed him on his cheek... I love this person... I want to show him more of my love... Yesterday, after the kiss, I thought of giving him my v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y too... But I remembered that Hiro has something that he wants to reveal about himself... So, I will give him my everything once he revealed it... It will also serve as assurance that I love this person so much that I can accept everything of him too... But I can't just wait for that time... I want to show him more of my love in any other way possible...

But how ?? I don't know a thing about what couples do !! How do couples express love to each other ?!! Maybe I should do something for Hiro... Come to think of it, I was a little frustrated that Hiro is praising Madam's cooking and told that I can't cook... So, I think I should cook for him...

But I really can't cook !! Maybe I should ask for advice from someone... The only person that I could ask is the owner of this hotel... I wonder what she would say...

I separated myself from my beloved and got up from the bed and arranged myself and went downstairs to meet the lady...

Old Lady - Oh my, you came down a little early today...

Eclair - Umm... I would like a little help...

Old Lady - What is it ??

Eclair - C... Can you teach me how to make omurice ??

I asked while blushing... She immediately understood and grinned at me...

Old Lady - Fufufu... I understand... Alright, let's go to my room. My room has a separate kitchen where you can practice...

She took me to her room and taught me how to make omurice... After two failures, I got it correct...

Old Lady - You have a way with a knife... I guess that's a gift from adventuring...

I smiled and nodded at her...

Old Lady - So, are you trying to prove your husband that you can cook too ??

Eclair - Well... There is that but... The main reason is that I... I want to show him how much I love him... D... Darling loves me a lot... So, I want to show him how much I love him in these types of methods too...

Old Lady - Fufufu... You are really a very romantic couple... I am sure he is glad to have a wife like you...

I smiled at her... I feel like I could be completely open to this person...

Eclair - Madam, what do you think about a guy aiming for many girls ??

Old Lady - They should just drop dead... I wish they would stay single for their whole life like the v.i.r.g.i.n weebs reading this fanfic...

Whoa... I never thought she would say lines like that with such a serious face...

Old Lady - Is your husband saying things like those, girl ??

Eclair - Well... Yes... But he assured me that I get the final say if he could have the girl or not... But that doesn't mean he won't pursue other girls... And he still loves me a lot... But I don't want him to think of any other girl than me... I want him all to myself... He assured me that his love for me won't decrease but even the love he thought of showing to other girls, I want it all for myself... Am I wrong for thinking like that ??

Old Lady smiled at me and patted my head...

Old Lady - No, you aren't, my child... In fact, that's one of the correct ways of love...

I smiled back at her... She looks like an angel to me...

Eclair - One of the reasons I am planning this surprise for him is also that I want him to keep looking at me so much that he will forget about looking at other girls... Do you have any more ideas, Madam ??

Old Lady - I know the best method for that which is a hundred percent effective...

I looked at her with sparkles in my eyes...

Eclair - Really ?!! What is it ?!!

Old Lady - Oh, it's really simple... In SM play which you like, instead of being M, become an S and turn him into an obedient M...

I immediately turn red at that advice... Me turning into an S and Hiro into an M ?!! That... That means I will tie him... and... and... I might make him lick my feet... I... I might also step on him... And punish him every time he disobeys... Then, he will only look at me... He will be obedient to me and stop pursuing other girls... Hehehe... I can have him all to myself... No !! What are you thinking, Eclair ?!! Stop it !! You can't do things like that to him !!

Old Lady - What's wrong ?? Do you want me to help you tie him ??

Really ?? You would ?? Well... I don't think that's needed as Hiro is weaker than me... Stop !! Take that idea out of your mind, Eclair !! You didn't even lose your v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y to him yet... Maybe once I lose my v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y... No !! Stop thinking about it !!

Old Lady - If that is tough, we can always make him your slave... Maybe we should find a slave merchant...

Unfortunately, slave magic won't work on heroes... No... That wasn't what I meant !! What are you thinking, Eclair ?!! You fought against illegal slavery and now you are being tempted by the same thing ?!! I was wrong about this lady... She is not an angel !! She is more like a devil that tempts others !!

Eclair - Umm... I don't want to do those to him... Are... Are there other ways not involving s.e.x or slavery...

Old Lady - Hmm... More romantic, huh... I know, you could seduce him whenever you get the chance... You know, like a normal wife... You should never let a chance go... You should either seduce him or express your love one way or the other... The best thing you could do right now is... Oh, I know...

(Hiro's POV)

I woke up and remembered the events of last night... Eclair and I became even closer last night... I didn't know that my d.e.s.i.r.e to have a harem would create uncertainty in her heart... But I was able to clear that doubt by confessing everything I feel about her... And we gave each other our first kisses... I was a little surprised when Eclair took the initiative... But I am glad that she did... That kiss also served me as an assurance that my feelings were conveyed properly to her... And after that, we held hands while embracing each other !!

Anyway, I got up from the bed to find that I woke up late and Eclair is missing... Is she in the bathroom ??

I called out to her to get no response. I went downstairs to find the Old Lady for inquiry...

Hiro - Umm... Madam, did you see my wife ??

She grinned at me when I asked her about Eclair...

Old Lady - Ufufu... Get ready and come back... She has a surprise for you...

A surprise ?? What could it be ?? I am a little excited, to be honest... Anyway, I went back to my room, got ready as fast as I can and went downstairs to meet the old lady who is still grinning...

Old Lady - Ho... So fast... I guess you really want to know what she is up to, huh ??

Hiro - Yes and I would be glad if you don't make me wait...

Old Lady - Fufufu... Very well, follow me...

She guided me to a room in the inn...

Old Lady - This is my room... I am lending it to you till the afternoon... Go in and have fun... Fufufu...

The lady kept grinning and I went inside...

Hiro - Umm... Eclair, are you there ??

Eclair - I am here...

The voice came from another room... Eclair came out of that room and I just kept staring at her with my mouth wide open while she came near me...

Eclair - G... Good Morning, Darling...

Eclair said with a blushed face... I just kept staring at her... As she is wearing nothing but an apron...

Hiro - Could you pinch me, Eclair ??

Eclair - Huh ?? O... Okay...

Hiro - I can't feel pain... So, this is a dream after all... Well, I have no plans of waking up yet...

Eclair - Don't consider this as a dream when I worked this hard !! And did you forget that you can't feel pain ?!!
