Chapter Title: How to Steal the Protagonist's Woman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Haa... haa... I-I'm trembling..."
"It's okay. You'll get used to it in no time."
Viola lay sprawled in the bushes, her bare chest exposed, pink nipples on full display.
Her breasts glistened under the moonlight, slick with sweat from the tension, proudly showing off their beautiful curves.
I gently parted her legs and peered under her skirt.
Flawless skin without a single blemish. I was gazing at a place I'd never seen on anyone before.
From her ankles, perfect legs curved upward, ending in pure white panties tied with thin strings on either side.
My palm glided smoothly from her ankle, inching slowly toward her crotch.
Viola flinched at the sensation between her thighs.
"Hngh..."
"If it's too much, we can stop here..."
"I-It's okay..."
Just thirty minutes ago, I'd been reading her palm like it was nothing special.
How the hell does a situation like this unfold in half an hour?
-30 Minutes Ago-
I'd said it was a secret and all that, but I read her palm the same way I did for the village girls.
Prone to loneliness, can't resist curiosity, that sort of thing...
Truth be told, I'd picked palm reading just to cop a feel.
There was definitely a reaction.
"Wow! How can you see all that in my hand? That's amazing!"
But it stopped at mere amazement.
The embarrassed, flustered vibe I was aiming for never happened.
'Damn that hero bastard. He turned his little sister into a total airhead...'
'...Plan B.'
I decided to shake up Viola's heart right then and there. Once I shifted from personality to her future, the atmosphere changed completely.
"You'll be getting married soon."
"Oh... R-Really?"
"But your partner hasn't been decided yet."
"Huh? What do you mean my partner isn't set?"
'Nipple piercing if it fits the nipple, clit piercing if it fits the clit. Same difference.'
But Viola's expression didn't brighten.
She couldn't even fathom marrying someone other than her brother.
To Viola, her brother was her only family—but also a burdensome one.
Always at his mercy.
She'd never tasted true freedom.
Her only hope in life was yearning for the outside world.
And this young man from the outside, whom she met for the first time, might be her last chance—which was why she'd risked getting scolded to come see me.
To shake off thoughts of marriage, Viola asked me a question.
"This is really just curiosity, but... who is Philia? You've been calling me Philia."
"Ah..."
I told her in a defeated tone.
Time to turn on the Oscar-worthy acting.
"...The woman I loved."
"Wow! So I resemble her?"
"Yes..."
"Where is she now?"
"She... died."
"...Pardon?"
After that, Viola burst into tears and apologized profusely.
She'd only been curious, but felt like she'd hurt me because of it...
I ended up comforting her as she cried.
Viola sobbed for a good while, apologizing nonstop.
"I'm so sorry... Hic..."
"Then... could I ask one favor?"
"A-Anything! Just say it!"
I paused dramatically, bowing my head and muttering just loud enough to hear.
'Even so, this is too much...'—that kind of vibe.
Viola caught my mutter and leaned in close.
"Please, tell me anything. I'll do it all!"
"Then... until I leave the village, could we act like lovers, Viola?"
"Of course!"
I cheered internally via comms.
'Checkmate!'
Just as Armonia said. This only works because it's Viola.
The village girls approached me too, but they were after something totally different.
They wanted to milk me for all I'm worth...
Viola, on the other hand, approached purely out of curiosity about me as a person.
I gently pulled her into an embrace.
"Thank you, Viola."
"Ah!"
Viola instinctively wrapped her arms around my waist in return.
"B-But I don't really know how lovers act..."
"It's fine. We can figure it out together."
"R-Right. Hehe..."
Viola showed no signs of rejection toward me now.
If anything, she was just asking questions left and right, worried she'd mess up.
"Is my speech okay? Lovers should be casual, right...?"
"I-It's fine! Sh-Should I change mine?"
"No, I like you just like this."
"Then I'll keep it this way. Hehe."
Viola nestled naturally into my arms as she said it.
She was like an innocent little girl from heaven.
Now then...
Time to turn her into a real woman.
I lifted her chin gently with one hand and kissed her.
"Eh? Mmph..."
Viola's eyes went wide and her body stiffened at the first touch of our lips, but as our tongues intertwined, her gaze softened.
No one had ever taught her, yet she instinctively played with my tongue in her mouth, swapping saliva with mine.
After a full minute of kissing, I pulled away.
"Haa... haa... Th-This is..."
"It's called a kiss. Something lovers do."
"Haa... I-I see."
"Sorry, did it feel bad?"
"N-No! It was... so good..."
Her sincere words shone in her expression.
Her face was flushed with ecstasy.
No matter how ignorant she was about sex, her body was forcing her into arousal.
I leaned in toward her again.
"Haa... Smack..."
This time, Viola tilted her head reflexively to meet my lips.
"Hngh, smack, hngh."
Even more intense tongue play than before.
But kissing wasn't my only goal.
While focusing on the kiss, I slowly undid the buttons of her blouse one by one.
Yet Viola was so lost in the kiss that she didn't notice her clothes coming undone.
After an even longer kiss, I pulled my head back.
But Viola leaned forward, chasing my lips.
"Haa... More... please, more..."
That first kiss had given her the greatest pleasure of her life.
The first young man she'd met besides her brother.
The first kindness from an outsider.
The first kiss she'd ever experienced.
The first sexual pleasure she'd ever felt.
To her right now, that kiss was her entire world.
But I gently refused her lips, teasing her.
"I'll give you something even better."
"Heh...?"
Viola finally noticed her own state.
"Wh-When..."
Her blouse was completely open, her breasts fully exposed.
The moment she tried to cover them in embarrassment—
"Viola."
"...Yes?"
I whispered into her ear.
"...I love you."
"Ah!"
Viola pulled me tightly against her waist upon hearing it.
She'd heard it from her brother occasionally, but to her, it was just familial affection.
As a child, it made her happy, but at some point, it became burdensome.
The first whisper of it from an outsider.
The first emotion it stirred in her.
It was the key that unlocked the padlock on her heart.
I slowly laid Viola down on the ground.
She didn't even think to cover her ample, exposed breasts.
The kiss and the whisper.
Those two things alone had unlocked every lock in her heart.
I'd become like a master to her, even though who knows what might come next.
I parted the legs under her skirt and began inspecting inside. I slipped my fingers between her panties.
"Wh-Why there... Hngh!"
"Just accept it, Viola. It'll feel good."
"Hic, yes..."
I didn't insert into her vagina—just gently stroked the outer lips.
Armonia, watching my caresses, raised a question.
'What are you talking about? You have to loosen her up properly for this stuff.'
'Kekeke. Plus, popping her cherry with a finger would be such a waste.'
Until now, her crotch had probably just been a place where pee came out—nothing more, nothing less.
A spot no one had ever seen or touched.
And now it was being defiled by me, completely defenseless.
Her brain must have been melting right now.
But even with minimal foreplay, Viola was reacting way more intensely than expected.
"Hnggg! Hngh, hikkk!"
She arched her back, clutching at my clothes.
"...Viola?"
"..."
Viola had passed out, her face streaked with tears.
Her first orgasm in life.
My hand, withdrawn from her panties, was soaked with her juices, dripping wet.
I carried the unconscious Viola back to the room and laid her on the bed I'd planned to sleep in.
Gazing at her, I commed Armonia.
"Man, she passed out just from a little touching..."
I'd originally planned to go all the way with her tonight.
If it ended half-assed, she might not come back, so I intended to push through.
But nope... fingering her pussy made her faint.
"Oh, let's see."
I could spot the change immediately.
Erogenous Zone.
"What the hell is that..."
Fair enough. If every useless trait popped up willy-nilly, it'd be chaos.
You could spend a lifetime just checking one person's traits.
"Kek, so I'm the guy who unlocked her erogenous zones first. And [Loneliness] is gone too... Heh, perfect. You're mine now, Viola."
The Erogenous Zone font expanded, highlighting one word.
-[Kiss]-
"What, just one?"
"Kek. I'll develop them all."
My competitive spirit ignited.
We hadn't gone all the way yet, but seeing Viola today, it seemed plenty possible.
"Huh? What?"
"Huh? What is it? Show me my traits."
Why's she hesitating all anxiously now...?
Info popped up before my eyes.
...111?
"Armonia."
"What's level 100+ mean for skills?"
"Whoa, so my Sex Skill is protagonist-tier or higher? That's badass!"
The Sex Skill font expanded, pulling out some sub-stats.
-[Intercourse LV 1], [Oral LV 1], [Empathy LV 1], [Pheromones LV 1]…-
"What the—no way this is hero-tier. Total garbage!"
Sex Skill LV 111 had me hyped, but it was a lineup of pathetic virgin-level stats.
Back in the day, I wouldn't have cared about real-world girls, so I'd have ignored these levels.
But my job now is literally devouring women—this is serious.
"But Armonia, everything's level 1. How's the overall Sex Skill at 111?"
"Huh? What the hell is this..."
-[Hand Skill LV 555]-
