Chapter Title: It Was Summer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It was summer.
I successfully used the scroll to acquire 'Telekinesis' without any issues.
'Honestly, it's not going to be as overwhelmingly helpful as magic in games. But having something extra can't hurt.'
I tested it by lifting a knife with telekinesis.
It was a bit fascinating watching it bob gently above my hand.
It really felt like I'd become a psychic.
With a bit more focus, the knife started spinning in the air.
I could sense that I was able to move it however I wanted.
Fine control was tricky, but swinging it side to side was effortless.
'Guess I'll just have to get used to it with practice.'
After keeping it up for a while, I felt my mana starting to drain.
The mana flowing from my heart through my veins like blood grew thinner and thinner.
My mana capacity isn't high. No, it's low.
That was one reason I was treated like a second-rater at the company at best.
Of course, my ability itself wasn't suited for combat either.
'With my current strength, all I can move is something like this knife.'
Anything heavier hits a limit.
Even this knife is tough to hold for long.
It's not exactly something to brag about acquiring telekinesis.
But I wasn't disappointed.
Mana grows in size and precision the more you use it.
It's kind of like a muscle.
'The difference between here and the outside world is that it shows you the changes directly.'
It's like going to the gym and getting a message window saying, 'Just 10 more steps to 1RM of 500!'
Seeing the growth with your own eyes makes practice actually fun.
'I'm still far from the elite level I saw in society. But if it keeps increasing like this, I'll catch up someday.'
Even without that, this telekinesis has plenty of uses right now.
One more hand for hunting, crafting, cooking—it's a big deal.
"No, forget all that. In combat alone, it could be a game-changer."
For example, against that goblin shaman last time.
My thrown adze suddenly stopped mid-air.
If I hadn't seen it coming with 'Appraisal,' I would've panicked.
And in battle, that one second is enough to mean life or death.
'Telekinesis has almost no visible effect. As a surprise attack, it could be plenty threatening.'
Above all, 'Telekinesis' synergizes great with the gear I have now.
I gripped the knife and focused my mind.
Mana flowed through my clenched fist.
I poured all my power into the knife, infusing it with telekinesis.
Then I swung my trembling hand with everything I had.
-Pang!
The knife shot out like a flash of light.
It flew fast and buried itself deep into a log.
It wasn't just embedded—it had punched almost halfway through.
"Yes!"
I could enhance weapons with telekinesis too.
To be precise, it was just channeling telekinetic force into the weapon.
But with this much power boost, it's plenty useful in combat.
'And it'll make chores way easier too.'
For instance, I can lift heavy loads much more easily by applying telekinesis.
On a deserted island where 'labor' itself is precious, this skill has high utility.
'Gotta thank that goblin shaman for this valuable skill.'
It gave me a house to live in, food to eat, points too.
And bonuses like a bed and a skill on top of that.
The goblins' sky-high benevolence was almost moving.
'Thanks to them, chores are way easier now.'
With the skill checked out, I stowed the knife back in my inventory.
Enough playtime—time to work.
There's still a lot to do.
No, with a new skill, I should work even harder.
I picked up the axe from the recent gacha pull.
I started chopping some thin trees a short distance away.
-Crack! Crack!
Each swing chipped away at the wood.
Once I'd cut halfway through the trunk, I switched to the other side.
A bit annoying, but that's how you get it to fall the way you want.
'I've survived fine so far—no way I'm dying under a falling tree.'
Chopping wood is simple but takes stamina and strength.
Sweat was pouring out before long.
'Even with telekinesis assisting, this is tough.'
No room to complain, though.
I'm only able to get wood like this because I luckily got the axe from gacha.
'Lucky again... no, just as expected.'
I've gotten traits from focusing on tasks before.
I figured chopping wood might lead to one, and sure enough.
Axe work felt noticeably easier now.
'Life here is starting to feel routine.'
In society, there was always pressure to follow the rails.
Especially surrounded by all those talented women.
But living purely on this island simplified my thinking.
"Urghhh! My body's killing me, but fuck it!"
After cutting a few trees, I dragged them back to the cave entrance.
I sharpened the ends with my knife.
Then drove them into the ground and wove thin branches around them.
"Hoo! Tough stuff!"
Finally, a fence in front of the cave.
Not a proper ranch-style one, but whatever.
It's better than no door or lock.
'This was a goblin colony anyway—no other beasts should come.'
With my home base complete, I felt pretty satisfied.
Clean floor, bed, decent food stores, a roof over my head, and now a fence.
Far from 'stable,' but not a bad nest.
"Master!"
Lost in thought when I heard her call.
Hilde, of course.
She came running, sweat beading on her skin.
'Those tits are insane.'
Sweat droplets nestled between her bouncing massive breasts.
It stirred up a different kind of eroticism.
I'd tasked Hilde with building a toilet.
Essential for daily life.
"It's finished as you requested!"
"Good work."
I reached out to praise her as usual.
Hilde beamed like a puppy and approached.
Or tried to—she froze mid-step.
Wondering why, I stepped forward, but she held up a hand to stop me.
"Ah, w-wait! Just a minute."
"What's up?"
"I'm sweating a lot right now... I don't want to smell."
She was worried about that?
I chuckled and hopped over to her.
"M-Master... wait... ahn... ♥"
"You think I care about that now?"
"Nng... A woman's heart is like that."
Even as she spoke, Hilde didn't push me away.
Emboldened, I undid her top and licked her breasts.
"Eek!"
Didn't see that coming, huh?
Her body tensed up tight.
Not missing a beat, I hugged her and toppled backward.
"Nng... wait just a sec... if you're gonna do it, at least after I wash..."
"It's gonna get dirty anyway—waste of a wash."
"W-Waste...? Nng..."
Even sweaty, Hilde's body had no odor.
If anything, a sweet fragrance wafted from her.
'How is this possible on a deserted island? Amazing.'
Maybe beauties like Hilde even smell different.
Lost in that thought, I licked every inch of her.
"N-No... ahn... haa..."
Nape, collarbone, breasts, navel.
The more clothes I stripped, the more her sexy figure revealed itself.
'The sweat makes it even sexier than usual.'
Not intentional, but good call assigning her work.
"Hilde, arms up over your head."
"Nng... No way. I told you I'm super sweaty... nnngh!"
I silenced her complaints by sucking on her breasts.
While teasing her sensitive sides with light tickles.
My fingers danced smoothly over her slick skin thanks to the sweat.
"If you don't, I'll just keep teasing and leave it at that."
"Th-That's cheating... nng!"
Lately, Hilde says once she's aroused, my sex alone doesn't satisfy her.
So this threat of endless teasing on sensitive spots worked well.
"Eek! Hnng! W-Wait... touching there makes me too sensitive..."
"You said a slave does whatever her master says, right?"
"Th-That's true, but... ahn?! O-Okay! I'll do it!!"
Unable to resist my teasing, Hilde surrendered first.
She clasped her hands behind her head, thrusting her chest out.
"Ugh... embarrassing..."
Her sweat-glistened smooth underarm was fully exposed.
One look and you'd develop a fetish on the spot.
I traced a finger slowly along it.
"Eek!"
"Ticklish?"
"Of c-course!"
She's the ticklish type, huh.
Valuable info.
'Save that for teasing later.'
I moved my hands again on the pinned Hilde.
"Nng... haa..."
As I caressed every corner, her face relaxed into bliss.
'This look is so damn hot.'
Hilde, who never refuses me, gradually heating up.
Just watching made my cock throb.
"Haa... huu..."
Her heated breaths reached me.
Hilde stared with lewd eyes.
"Master, water please."
Come to think of it, she'd been working without a drink.
Dehydration would be bad.
I pulled water from inventory and handed it over.
"Hilde?"
But she didn't drink it.
Instead, she poured it over her massive breasts.
Water pooled in her cleavage, exuding lewd temptation.
Thrusting them out, Hilde grinned.
"I'll wash soon anyway... but that 'breast holy water' you love so much... want some?"
...What a tempting woman.
I dove back into Hilde's breasts.
It was summer.
