Knock knock knock.
I headed to Diana's room and lightly knocked on her door.
"Come in."
Diana's voice came from inside the room.
Kai opened the door and stepped in, where Diana rose from her desk to greet him.
Because it was nighttime, she wasn't in the knight's uniform I'd seen during the day but in a comfortable evening dress.
She'd seemed a bit stiff and cold in the daylight, but now she looked softer.
It didn't seem to be just the outfit. Her expression had softened because she'd recognized my talent(?).
"I wanted to thank you for providing the house."
"Hehe. Are we strangers? Don't feel burdened—make yourself at home."
"Thanks to you, I can save on inn fees, so it'll be easier to save money."
"I'm worried I might be putting too much pressure on a pilot who's only been at it for a day."
It was strange how the woman who'd treated me like a rookie and looked down on me during the day now felt endlessly warm.
That's when I truly realized how overpowered my 'Charge' ability was.
"I tried hunting in the Golden Reed Forest earlier, and I'm confident I can save up enough within two months."
"Is that so? Impressive as expected. The Golden Reed Forest isn't overly difficult, but you have to deal with so many monsters that stamina can run out."
Diana pinpointed today's issue exactly.
"Yeah, so tomorrow I'll bring the Valkyrie from the mine and take turns hunting."
"Hm? You don't have to do that. If you don't send them to the mines, it'll be hard to get diamonds, and growth slows down. If you can't save enough in two months, I'll figure something out for you."
Diana seemed to want nothing hindering my growth. As she said, I could just skip the Golden Reed Forest and focus on leveling up.
But for some reason, I didn't want her help right now. I wanted to clearly show off my talent.
I strongly felt that with my abilities, I could hit the target amount alongside growth.
"I appreciate the offer, but just having this place to stay is more than enough for now."
"Really...? Alright. I'll look forward to it."
At my refusal, Diana's expression didn't show disappointment—instead, it felt like her trust in me had grown even more.
"Then I should head back and rest for tonight."
"Huh? Really? Next time, come hang out more leisurely. If you have time, let's grab a drink."
As I moved to leave, Diana looked a bit regretful.
"Sure. Next time, definitely."
Leaving the wistful Diana behind, I slipped out of her room and returned to my own, where Sua was waiting.
While I'd been talking with Diana, Sua had apparently showered.
Her damp hair felt even sexier tonight.
"I'm tired, so let's sleep."
I avoided showing it, worried that looking at Sua would stir my lust again, and climbed into bed.
Suddenly, I recalled falling asleep with her before.
While she slept, I'd groped her breasts and seen her naked body.
So why couldn't I see or touch them now?
Watching Sua naturally slide over, using my arm as a pillow, the question popped into my head.
"Hey... Sua?"
"Yes?"
"Before, when we lay together, I touched your breasts. Why not now? And I saw you naked once when you rushed out of the shower."
Even saying it to her, I felt kind of pathetic.
"Ah... Breasts are okay to show and touch. Anything... more would be impossible, though."
"What??"
At her words, I bolted upright in bed, exclaiming in shock.
See and touch her breasts? Who sets that limit? Seriously?
"It feels like that's the line. I can't do anything else."
Her words carried an undeniable compulsion.
Maybe it was because her affection was maxed out, but the point was, I could see and touch Sua's breasts now.
Thump thump...
My heart pounded like it would burst. It drummed so hard against my eardrums.
Gulp...
I swallowed without thinking.
"You can show me your breasts?"
At my words, Sua sat up on the bed, blushing as she nodded.
"Then... show me."
Sua unbuttoned her top with a flushed face. Her soft skin peeked through the gaps in her nightclothes.
Once she'd undone it all, her full, voluptuous breasts came into view.
With trembling hands, I reached toward Sua's breasts.
This was different from slyly groping them while pretending to sleep. Doing it with her permission made it even more thrilling.
"Hngh..."
As my hands touched her breasts, Sua flinched.
Gripping them, an unbelievable sensation hit me.
Soft yet springy and plump—they bounced perfectly.
And right in the center of my palms, her perky nipples poked out.
I soon extended both hands, caressing her breasts.
This was the first time in my life I'd ever grabbed a woman's breasts. And they belonged to Sua—my first love and ideal type. It was exhilarating.
"Haa... Hngha..."
My hands kneaded and fondled her breasts freely.
Each time, aroused moans escaped Sua's lips.
It was getting harder to hold back. My cock swelled to the bursting point.
I laid Sua back and brought my mouth to her breasts.
Slurp... Sluuurp...
I licked her breasts with my tongue, then sucked her nipples. They had a sweet scent and taste.
Do women's breasts normally taste like this?
The addictive flavor and aroma drove my mouth wild.
I opened wide, engulfing her breast and sucking hard, teasing her nipple with my tongue.
Meanwhile, my hand softly massaged the other breast.
My fingertips caught her nipple, and as I gently twisted it, I felt it harden and grow under my touch.
Sua was responding perfectly to my caresses.
"Haaaah..."
As I rolled her nipple with my tongue and moved my mouth around, her legs squirmed.
She was getting aroused by my touch, too.
Slowly, my hand slid from her breasts toward her lower half.
Then Sua's hand grabbed mine.
"Kai... No... If we go further... I can't stay in this world... Later... Later, okay?"
Her sad eyes looked up at me. I couldn't push on with her gazing at me like that.
"Ha... I'll step out for a bit."
I needed to cool off my throbbing cock and frustrated mind.
Sua couldn't do anything more for me—not even a handjob, let alone a blowjob.
"I'm sorry..."
Her voice trailed after me as I left the room.
She felt guilty for not being able to do more.
Hearing that made me think this wasn't right.
I knew she wanted to, but couldn't.
"No. Go to sleep first."
I slipped out of the room.
I spotted the room with Lije and Lussera.
But I shook my head. Their affection wasn't fully maxed yet.
Then my eyes drifted to Diana's room.
Same issue. I knew she had some fondness for me, but we'd only met today.
"Hoo..."
My chest felt tight, burning up.
I couldn't fathom how I'd endured this feeling for 28 years.
Stepping outside into the cool breeze helped a little.
But the fire still raged.
No choice—I headed to the bathroom. My fully erect cock, fueled by the heat, stared back at me, bigger and thicker than my original.
It was rock-hard beyond belief.
"Hngh..."
Grabbing what didn't even feel like my own cock and stroking it up and down sent massive pleasure surging through me.
I came hard into my hand soon after.
"Haa... Seriously... Just one month. Hold out."
I felt like after a month, I'd have to relieve it properly through affection work.
After handling it alone in the bathroom, the fire died down a bit, but the ensuing wise man time made me feel even more pathetic.
Not just me—Sua had been aroused too when I left her.
I wondered how she'd dealt with it.
I showered once more to clean up and returned to the room, where Sua was waiting.
Tears glistened in her eyes.
I personally buttoned up her exposed breasts.
Then I pulled her into my arms.
"I'm sorry. Let's... hold out a little longer."
"Thank you... Hic... Sniff..."
I felt her tears soaking into me as I held her.
Comforting the upset Sua in my embrace for a while, we both drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
