Kapitel 422: CH. 441: Alise’s passion

'Erofu is getting more daring.'

Asahi thought as he stared at the ceiling in Kaguya's room. The raven-haired woman was sleeping with her arm over his chest. Spent after several intense and happy lovemaking sessions.

He was a bit bothered about Haruhime's choice to observe their lovemaking. He had noticed Haruhime as soon as she arrived, but he didn't pay her attention to make things less awkward.

'I need to talk to her.'

Asahi closed his eyes and went into another deep focus session to upgrade his Instinct skill. He had met most of the requirements for evolving Multithreaded Processing and Instinct into a Special-Ranked skill. All except for one. A-rank Instinct.

Kaguya woke up and saw Asahi's face. He looked extremely serious. A face she had never seen before. She couldn't stop herself and pressed her lips on his cheeks.

"Husband-kun," she cooed. "Wakey wakey."

Asahi opened his eyes and blinked multiple times. Kaguya was all but spent until twenty minutes ago after their loud sex session. Where did she get so much energy?

"You're hearing me, aren't you?"

"..."

"I-Is my prince under a witch's curse? I, the princess, shall use my snow-oath kiss to bring him back."

Kaguya did not hesitate to give him a deep kiss. More like forcing herself on him.

Asahi took thorough enjoyment out of the kiss until she ran out of breath. "Kaguya, are you not tired?"

"Tired? I have so much energy!" she said and straddled his waist before bunching her sweaty hair in a ponytail. "I feel like I can go another dozen rounds with you."

'Klyscha? Is it related to my recent breakthrough in the Life Element?'

(Ever so perceptive. Yes, my love. Your body is now filled with more vigor than a god. Ddraig's aura is also slowly affecting your soul. Your semen can pump a normal human full of energy, and Kaguya is still a normal human regardless of her strength.)

Asahi pushed himself up and held her shoulders. "Not now, Kaguya. You should rest your body. I also have something to do."

Kaguya puffed her cheeks. "Husband-kun is already neglecting me."

Asahi's brow twitched. "People are waiting for us."

Alise and Natsumi were pacing in the corridor. The latter probably came to spend some time with her master. After all, leading Apollo Familia as its captain must have been exhausting.

Kaguya twined her arms around his neck. "Just one round, please. Don't hold back this time."

Asahi lifted her by her butt and immediately slid his cock inside her. As she hoped, he didn't hold back and boosted her sensitivity.

Kaguya regretted provoking him that day.

***

As the door to Kaguya's room opened, Alise had no idea how to face Asahi. She waved her hand, a rather bitter smile on her face. "Yo, Asahi!"

She tried peeking inside, but Asahi was quick to close the door behind him. "Let Kaguya rest. Let's go some—"

Natsumi threw herself in his arms and rubbed her face on his chest. "Master, where have you been? I wanted to meet you."

Asahi gave a soft smile and patted her back. "How can I help you?"

"Master…" Natsumi looked up with teary eyes. "You haven't given me anything to do. I feel purposeless and hollow from inside."

The life of a slave was indeed hard. Asahi had pretty much nothing for Natsumi to do here.

"Train yourself in the dungeon. We'll be leaving in three weeks. You'll have plenty of work in our new world."

Natsumi's skills might come in handy eventually.

"Hardcore training." Natsumi accepted the order with an enthusiastic nod. "I'd show great results, Master."

"Good."

She stepped back and bowed deeply. "Master, please contact me if you need anything from this slave. I can be a good conversation partner, drinking partner, even a sex slave if you want~."

After giving a salesman-like speech, she ran off. Alise trailed the zealous woman's back until she was out of her sight. As weird as Natsumi may be, she helped Alise diffuse the awkward air lingering in the air.

"Alise, why are you waiting for me?" Asahi asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist, which wasn't protected by armor.

Alise looked up and blushed at eye contact. "M-My perfect waistline is lovely to hold, right?"

Asahi didn't answer as he leaned in and captured her lips. Alise's instincts kicked in and she reciprocated his kiss. She had received more kisses than anyone considering the short length of their relationship.

The level of passion in her kiss rose. Alise didn't care a bit about their current location—the hallway with numerous rooms of her comrades. Her primal lust had taken over her, forcing her to lick every drop of saliva from his tongue.

As Alise pulled back for momentary respite to catch breath, she caught sight of Shiori and the massive grin on her face. Alise pointed her trembling finger at Shiori while she breathed heavily. She couldn't muster any words to retort.

"Don't mind me. Continue. Continue," Shiori gestured. "Think of me as a random bystander."

"You are so dead!" Alise drew out her rapier, which became enchanted without any spell. With her rapier, she chased Shiori.

'Hiding her embarrassment behind rage. Typical Alise.'

Shiori had helped him in distracting Alise. If things grew heated, he might have taken Alise to the bed, where she would reject him out of embarrassment. He could pursue his other objective now.

(Erofu, here we come!)
