The rest of my date with Catherine was rather plain. That's natural though, considering the kiss we shared.
That night, I was still absorbed in the feeling of her lips that I neglected to create any Skeletons.
Once again, they appeared in my nightmares. However, instead of scaring me, they actually gave me an idea.
My Elder Liches are capable enough to create 5 LV80 King's Guard Skeletons in 4 hours. They don't need any sleep either, so that would be 10 King's Guards each, every night.
Since there are 50 of them already, that's a total of 500 King's Guards. I still have to refine them, but the sheer amount of them should be able to overwhelm any opponent in the immediate area, even if they are of lower quality.
However, I need to find a space large enough to fit 550 skeletons. A single room in an inn, especially with Arin and Catherine sleeping, is definitely not big enough to fit them.
I'll figure something out once we settle down temporarily at the capital.
For now, I should focus on my date with Arin. After the kiss with Catherine yesterday, I'm sure that Arin will want something similar.
However, what I did yesterday was an unconscious action, so I don't know if I'll be able to recreate it. The best I can do is recreate the situation, but I really don't want to go back to that restaurant anymore.
Aaargh! I'll just deal with it when the time comes.
Today, Arin was wearing something that I consider formal elven clothes. A cincher set with a short skirt, which resembled a leather corset and green cloth with short sleeves.
She also had her ears in full view, and they were twitching every now and then. The air around her was completely different to Catherine's playful one, and was a bit more seductive. I believe she's going to act like the Onee-san during our date.
I'm starting to get a bit excited, even though I shouldn't be.
'Told you! You're a masochist!' (Ed)
'You're muted.' (Daniel)
'Mmmmhm! Mmmhmhhmhmhm!' (Ed)
Wait, that actually worked? Why didn't I know about this earlier?!
'Of course it didn't, you idiot. I was just playing around with you.' (Ed)
'Screw you!' (Daniel)
I really can't be bothered dealing with Ed right now. Arin is almost demanding that I pay full attention to her.
Her corset is pushing against her chest and causing her cleavage to practically pop out. Her plump behind is also emphasized, since her back is arched forward by the leather.
So sexy! As expected of a mature woman. Maybe a bit too mature… not in a bad way though!
Alright, let's get this date started!
I start out the same way as I did with Catherine, since I really don't know how dates are supposed to go. Arin, on the other hand, clearly has certain goals she wants to achieve this time.
She's dragging me around again, in what seems like a repeat of our first date. This time though, I'm willingly accompanying her and much more helpful when choosing clothes for her.
Despite that, there was still one shop that I considered out of bounds for me. The lingerie store! Although this world is still severely underdeveloped when it comes to private wear, no male should be stepping inside there.
Still, Arin forced me inside, and even came up to me asking which set I preferred. And what did I do? Naturally, I answered her! With the scantiest choice as well!
But Arin actually went and put it on! And she showed me!
This is absolutely crazy. I won't be able to stay calm if she keeps doing this to me.
I drag her out with me after paying for the lingerie. I don't want us to be labelled as thieves after all.
"What are you thinking, doing something like that?" (Daniel)
"What, so you don't want to see me like that?" (Arin)
"Of course I do! Wait, that's not what I wanted to say. I mean, are you trying to make me suffer?" (Daniel)
I see a smirk on her face. Oh, so she WAS doing it on purpose. She grabs my hand yet again, and this time leads me to an alleyway with barely anyone around. Is this going where I think it is?
The alleyway was very small, so the only way we could fit was if I did a kabe-don posture. Except, it was reversed. Arin was the one who did it to me!
Standing on her toes, she connected our lips. This time, I was the one caught by surprise. I subconsciously closed my lips, which caused her to lick them. Such a weird feeling.
I'm currently experiencing what Catherine experienced yesterday, and I've got to say it feels quite nice.
Since I already know what Arin wants, and I really don't want to moan like a girl, I voluntary open my mouth to let her tongue in.
As soon as it is in, she chases my own tongue, and the two entangle with each other.
This is a completely different feeling than with Catherine. When I was the aggressive one, I was sucking like mad to taste more of her. On the other hand, right now, all I need to do is let Arin do all the work and I can still taste her.
I think I prefer this after all. It's tiring doing all the work with such minimal returns. Is this what they mean by diminishing returns? No? Well, I've always been bad at economics.
Returning to the kiss. My hands started roaming towards Arin's plump butt. Feeling the elasticity in my hands, I give it a squeeze, which elicits a soft moan from her. She slightly separates from my lips, and I can feel her hot breath all over my face.
Her expression is glazed over, as if she wants me to do more. And I was about to, if a certain pest didn't show up again.
"Eh? Daniel, what are you doing here? Come, let's talk about the competition!" (Gorund)
"Hey! Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here?" (Daniel)
After all, my hand is still on Arin's butt and I'm holding her close to my body. She's also actively pushing herself onto me.
"Oh, with an elf? I don't really care about your preferences, but we need to discuss the competition." (Gorund)
"Don't tell me, you're also the one who sent me the food at the restaurant?" (Daniel)
"How'd you know? I didn't even leave my name, and I was wearing a cloak." (Gorund)
"So it was you! Damn! I don't even want to participate in the competition anymore." (Daniel)
"Wha! But you'll be working with Mithril! Mithril!" (Gorund)
"Mithril? Hmm… fine then. But you have to make it up to me, alright?" (Daniel)
"Yes, yes, I'll do anything you want!" (Gorund)
"Alright, first thing's first. Don't say that ever again. Or at least rephrase it into something that a straight male would say." (Daniel)
"Are there curved males? I don't understand." (Gorund)
I just left him standing there. I'm not going to talk to him anymore for the rest of the day.
Arin has been unnaturally docile ever since our kiss. Did it have that much of an effect on her? I look to my side, and I see Arin snuggling on my shoulder. She seems to be enjoying it.
Well, I can't complain about the way she's acting right now. It sure as hell beats getting dragged around the place.
The mood was killed ever since Gorund appeared, so the both of us just return the inn and call it a day.
It's night-time already, so I'm going to begin my daily routine again.
Daniel keeps on getting cockblocked! But then again, he shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff in public.
Thanks for reading!

On a completely unrelated side note, I have another novel that I've worked on before. It's 3rd person POV, and involves an original world with an anime system. It's worse than this one, but do you guys want me to upload it anyway?
