We finished in just under an hour.
I was a little surprised to see that the process was exactly the same as the textbook used in the sex education class, which had been repeated with only female students since I entered the high school.
I wondered if they used the same textbook for boys.
First, we sat side by side on the bed. After a brief kiss on the lips, I was turned over on the bed.
He gently nuzzled my chest.
At that moment, Dennis suddenly asked, "Do you want to take off your clothes yourself?"
I said, "You mean if I don't take it off myself, Dennis will take it off for me? Sorry, the buttons on this shirt are a little stiff and tricky, so I think I'd better take it off myself," I said instantly, and then realized that I might be talking too much again, so I hurriedly rephrased, "Either way is fine."
Dennis thought about it for a moment and then mumbled, "So, will you take it off?"
Dennis, who had his back to me, quickly began to take off his shirt, and I hurriedly put my fingers on the buttons as I sat on the bed.
It was even harder than usual, I thought, and my fingers were trembling.
I bit the inside of my cheek. Pull yourself together, Ella.
I stripped naked and laid down on the bed like a log, and after a while Dennis said, "...... still going to take a while?" I hurriedly shouted, "I'm fine, I'm fine!", and squeezed my eyes shut.
In the darkness, I heard him mumble, "I took it all off."
What a surprise. Did I make a mistake again?
But I knew that it was probably unnecessary to ask that now, so I kept quiet.
The moment my small breasts were touched in a caressing way, my legs shot up.
The hand moved from my chest to my stomach. I tightened my grip on my lower abdomen and pulled my stomach in.
A finger traced that spot between my thighs and entered.
After a while, when I thought I was getting used to the thickness of the fingers, my legs were opened. I was so nervous that I just closed my eyes tightly.
Dennis hardly spoke.
I was trying to keep my mouth shut, but I couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay? "Do you want me to sit up?" "I'm sorry my breasts are so small!" "It's okay, just take your time!" Dennis' expression seemed to get harder and harder with each passing moment.
So when it finally came in, I made up my mind to never say anything else, bit my lip tightly, closed my eyes, and somehow struck an iron in my head.
It was a scene I had seen in a mining town I had visited on a field trip when I was in the primary school.
Hitting the red iron with a hammer. Hitting the burning iron with a hammer.
The red iron is struck with a hammer.
It looks hot, it hurts, it's hot, it's okay.
Behind my shut eyes, I keep hitting the iron.
Yes, the only thing I would do for Dennis if he won me over would be to not cry or whine.
That's the only thing I can do to make Dennis happy that he got me. That's what I have to do.
Kankankankankankan ……… Hmm….
――I think I did pretty well for myself, because I was able to make it from there to the end without uttering a single word. I think I did pretty well for me, although I think I was half out of it.
"Thank you, Dennis. Thank God it's over, I'm so relieved."
So I hurried to express my appreciation as I adjusted my clothes afterwards.
Without looking at me, Dennis straightened his collar, said, "Yeah, good job," and left the room.
Thanks for your help, too. Good job, Dennis. Good job. Great, great, great.
A lot of words swelled in my mouth, but I didn't have time to say them.
I sat down on the bed as if I had fallen off my back and could not move for a while.
That was how my "coming of age ceremony" ended.
*
The next day, our daily life resumed, exactly as it had been, but slightly different.
We underwent a physical examination to prove that we had successfully survived the rites of passage into adulthood.
Leni looked particularly happy.
I heard that her pair, Elmer was very sincere and kind.
For some reason, Cornelia has been returning home more and more since the ceremony, but I guess she is busy preparing for the evening party she is going to hold soon.
And what surprised me was that the atmosphere between Tiana and Adele seemed to have changed after the day of the ceremony.
Tiana doesn't say much, and Adele is still mysterious and deadly, but I can tell.
I think Adele is staring at Tiana more and more, and Tiana is not complaining about Adele as much as before.
"No one knows what happens between a man and a woman."
It reminded me of what my sister Berenice used to say.
I don't know about men and women. But if Tiana, whom I love, is happy, of course that's fine.
And on the other hand, I think that there are things about men and women that are very obvious to everyone.
"Oh, Dennis !!"
It was three days after the coming-of-age ceremony when I was able to talk to Dennis properly.
"Ella."
He had just come back from the horse stable. Dennis, who was wearing his equestrian uniform, looked a little uncomfortable when he saw me.
Feeling somewhat apologetic, I hurried to continue my words.
"I just wanted to thank you for the other day. Also, the doctor said the ceremony was successful."
"Yes, I recieved the news."
Oh, so the boys' office is informed, too. Then I wouldn't have bothered to come back to report it and annoy Dennis.
Everything I do is in the direction of spinning out of control.
"Well, thank you, Dennis. I'm really relieved because I couldn't imagine myself completing this ritual successfully. I'm really relieved, because after all, this ritual is all about the boys, right? So I really appreciate your hard work. Thank you."
I was relieved to be able to say it in one breath.
"No, thank you, too."
I was glad to see that Dennis' expression had softened a little.
"Dennis, you've been accepted into the Order of Hern, haven't you? I'm glad. If you're going to be a member of the Order, you'll have to be able to perform the coming of age rituals better than I can."
Hern is a small town not far from here.
There is an imperial research facility, and it seems that the main task is to protect the research facility rather than training the knights to go to war.
Rumor has it that he has a lot of research-related duties, and I think it's a very good course for Dennis, who has been fond of books since he was a kid and was worried about getting rejected from the knight course until the last minute and going on to become a civilian.
"The Order of Hern is the perfect path for Dennis. Congratulations. Good luck after graduation."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, causing my red hair to curl up.
I usually tie my hair in a single knot, but today I had somehow untied it, which was a mistake.
I'm sure my frizzy hair is now a messy, shaggy mess.
It's just like me that I can't seem to get it right in the end.
“Okay, then.”
"Ella. Are you going to Cornelia-sama's evening party?"
When I turned my back and tried to leave, I was surprised to hear something unexpected.
"Of course, Cornelia-sama is lending me a dress."
"That must mean I’m escorting you."
I couldn't help but laugh at Dennis's serious expression.
It is true that the party is supposed to be attended with the mating partners.
However, there is no way that Cornelia-sama is not aware that not everyone is getting along with their mates.
That's why the invitation won't say anything about escorting a mating partner.
Even so, Dennis is probably thinking that I won't be able to attend the party unless he escorts me. He's such a serious and kind boy.
"Don't worry, Dennis. There's no rule about attending as a pair."
"But."
As I looked at Dennis with a thoughtful look on his face, I began to feel more and more sorry for him.
So I decided to relieve him of his guilt with my signature easy-going smile.
"Don't worry! Actually, I've already promised someone else to escort me. So you don't have to worry about me, okay?"
