Ch.119New Beginning NPC. (2)

Former Forest Keeper, Now Adventurer. Jack, who stole his little sister Ira’s lips, deserves the death penalty!!

Kill him!! Kill him!! Kill him!!

My thoughts froze, and the imagination of dozens of versions of myself surrounding and beating me up was terminated by Ira’s seemingly joyful voice.

“Ragni unnie said so! A kiss on the lips means ‘I love you’! Ehehe! Oppa, I love you too!!”

“Uh, yeah. Huh?”

“T-that…!! I-I did teach her that… but…!!”

“L-love…? Um, huh? Uh, sister and brother. Love, f-family love is still love, right?… R-right?”

[Well. Miss Ira is still young after all.]

“…Phew, I almost made another mistake. I see, it’s an expression of family love.”

Miho, who had been pointing and blushing until just now, sighed while stroking her chest, and all the women who had interpreted the situation in their own way nodded with slightly reddened faces.

…Could it be? Ira, who didn’t understand the difference between “love” and “like,” suddenly jumped to conclusions. Is that how it’s being rationalized?

Am I not sentenced to death?

“Huh? Oppa, don’t you love me…?”

“Eh, what?! No! Not at all! Oppa loves Ira too!!”

“Ehehe.”

When I absentmindedly let those words slip, Ira anxiously asked, and I answered without thinking. She smiled broadly and rubbed her face against my cheek.

Well, yes. There was a small incident.

“…Um, well. So… Ragni?”

“Ah, yes. Right, right. Yes. I got it, I understand what you want to say. Sorry. It was my oversight.”

Ragni, who was watching Ira rubbing her face against mine with a still slightly reddened face, nodded slightly.

Right. I won’t say much. I hope that when she eventually forgets about this, you’ll properly educate her so this doesn’t become Ira’s dark history.

Ira going around kissing everyone she likes? That’s beyond the level of being a little devil or whatever.

She could become a demon who would put even the demon of lust out of work!

After this small incident left everyone except Ira with red faces, we finished breakfast. Then we immediately packed our travel bags, and holding Ira’s hand, moved to the front of Neity’s gate.

Whew, it became a somewhat embarrassing morning, but honestly, since Ira showed through her actions how much she loves me, this oppa won’t forget it.

But Ira should forget it quickly!! This wasn’t a first kiss! No need to count it!!!

“Well then, Ira. Oppa will be back, okay?”

“Yes. Take care and don’t get hurt, and Miho unnie too. Take care and come back safely, okay?”

“…Ah, yes. I’ll be back. Ira ba—… Miss Ira.”

I explained Miho’s failure to Ira in a somewhat roundabout way during breakfast.

I told her that Miho had many shortcomings to be in our party, so she would go to her hometown [Siltra] to train again.

I explained it as if it wasn’t a complete farewell, but Ira probably saw through it somewhat.

She’s probably not throwing a tantrum because of the promise she made with me. Hmm, our Ira is so admirable!

“Well then, once more, please take care of Ira…”

“Hold the farewells for a moment. Rey, what are you going to do?”

“Ah, um… Yes. Please.”

“Alright, Ira. Come here.”

“Huh?”

Ragni embraced Ira and stepped back with Gor, and somehow Gor stood in a way that blocked Ira’s line of sight.

What’s going on?

“…A-ahem! Jack.”

“Yes?”

“Um, I’m going to use the wish coupon I received yesterday.”

“…What?”

Rey took a deep breath while pressing her hand against her chest, then turned her blue eyes toward me and began to speak seriously, causing my body to stiffen without me realizing it.

What, now? You could use it later if you wanted to. Why so suddenly?!

“…Phew. This morning, after seeing Ira, we decided among ourselves. We even determined the order by rock-paper-scissors.”

“What? Wait, what are you saying… What did you decide?”

Rey’s face turned redder than Ira’s hair color as she began to stammer, and somehow I started to break into a cold sweat.

What on earth is she trying to do?!

“A k-kiss. Please kiss me.”

Wait a minute. Doesn’t a kiss fall under sexual things? Your Honor!! These people are weird!!! Red card!! Red card!!!

“W-what…!! Clearly, sex…!!!”

“It’s not!! A k-kiss isn’t sexual, is it?!!”

“No!! It’s clearly out…!!!”

“Y-you did it with Ira!!!”

“…!!!!”

This is crazy cheating!! T-this is really foul play!!! No, that was just a happening…!!

Wait, you decided this morning? Don’t tell me you all!!

Rey looked at me pitifully, swallowing hard as if extremely nervous.

…It seems they decided this while they were dressing up Ira. No wonder I thought Ira had strangely extensive knowledge about kissing!!!

What on earth were you talking about in front of Ira?!!

And now I understand why they glossed over the kiss between Ira and me.

They probably thought that if they pressed me further there, it would boomerang back to them here. These crazy strategists!!!

“Um… Jack?”

Does she think I’m wracking my brain trying to refuse? Somehow her blue eyes seem a bit moist.

To ask this much with a wish coupon, and to even devise such a strategy… no.

‘…That’s not what’s important, I’m the idiot for making a woman say all this.’

-Slide.

“I won’t accept the wish coupon.”

“…What?”

I stroked Rey’s golden hair slightly and grabbed her nape, pulling her gently.

…I don’t know if this is right since I have no experience with kissing in either my previous life or this one, but.

“A k-kiss… if you want it, I should give it to you.”

“…!!!”

She’s come this far with me, shown this much affection for me. I don’t want to make her any more pitiful, and I don’t want to become more pitiful myself.

It’s not like we’re making a baby, just skinship. Besides, for them it’s not “like,” it’s definitely “love.”

I still can’t tell when we’ll reach the celestial realm, but I’ll clearly have to make them wait more.

So, as much as I can, I want to give them what they ask for.

By this world’s standards, at their age, it wouldn’t be strange if they were already married to a man.

It’s an age where it wouldn’t be strange for them to have children.

I slowly bring our faces together. I can’t close my eyes.

If I somehow miss the position of her lips, it would be embarrassing, and if I accidentally bump teeth, her first kiss that began with her courageous words could end terribly.

Very carefully, slowly. Her straight nose and mine bump slightly, and then soft lips touch lightly.

-Smooch.

…T-this is kissing a woman…!! My heart feels like it’s going to burst!!! She smells so good!! What is it? Didn’t we eat the same thing this morning?!

With relief at successfully completing my first kiss with someone who would be praised as a beauty anywhere, and feeling the incredibly good scent, I slowly pulled my face away.

“…W-was that… okay?”

Even as I wonder if this is the right thing for a man to say after his first kiss, I anxiously ask, and Rey’s blue eyes stare at me as if they’re going to devour me.

“……”

“Um, Rey?”

I don’t want to think so, but since we’ve done the first verse, she’s not trying to immediately go through all four verses of the national anthem, is she?

As Rey continues to stare without even blinking, I feel my hands getting sweaty without realizing it.

After a few seconds like that.

[She fainted. I’ll move her for a moment.]

“…What?”

A status window suddenly appeared in front of Rey’s face. Gor slowly approached and picked up Rey like luggage, placing her down in front of the adjacent building.

…Huh? She fainted?

[I’m second.]

“…Wait, time out. A golem is a bit…!!”

[I oppose discrimination against different species.]

-Grab!! Smooch!!

“!!!!”

Crazy!!! G-golem lips?!! Why!! Why are they so soft?!!!

[Hmm, I now know the taste of Master’s lips. This could become addictive.]

“C-crazy!! You…!!!”

[Master, I know you still feel repulsion because I’m a monster.]

No!! If you know, then…!!!

[However, know this one thing. This golem’s body continues to grow and evolve. It can become a being more suitable for Master than any female.]

“Really!! You’re the kind that…!!!”

[That is, someday I could have a body that can bear human children. And a body that Master won’t feel repulsion toward.]

At Gor’s sudden declaration, I truly felt like my Windows 98 was experiencing a blue screen.

What on earth are you…

[I’m not necessarily saying I’ll evolve by eating humans, but at the very least, I’ll create a body that you, as a human Master, can accept. So. Please wait a little.]

“……”

Gor’s face seems expressionless as always, but having always been together, I can clearly see it. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth expressing her emotions.

…This is really hopeless. Am I really going to end up with a golem?

After finishing her words, Gor immediately turned around, approached Ragni, took Ira, and turned her back, and slowly the blue-haired woman approached.

…My first kiss was just a minute ago, and now I’m about to have my second and third.

“…Are my lips public property?”

“It’s your fault, who told you to seduce even a golem?”

Ragni said with a grin. Apparently, she doesn’t care much about what’s happening today or the order.

Damn, you schemer. No matter how I think about it, you planned this, didn’t you?

“Hmm? No. Actually, those two were also planning to request kisses, I found out when I talked to them last night after you went in.”

Saying that with a seductive smile, Ragni slowly approached and pulled my hand to place it on her waist.

“Actually, I wanted to be first, but those two… no, one creature and one person? They were incredibly desperate.”

“Huh? I thought you decided the order with rock-paper-scissors.”

“Yes, we did rock-paper-scissors. An intense rock-paper-scissors where all three of us used our skills at full power.”

…Ragni, who gently pressed her large chest against mine, quietly tells me what happened this morning.

Before dressing up Ira, the three who woke up early initially thought about deciding with a game, but seeing that Ragni would dominate, they settled on rock-paper-scissors.

I thought rock-paper-scissors seemed ridiculous for something so important, but they said that precisely because it was important, they should leave it to luck, and those two pushed for that.

And then.

“You know what? When Gor thought I was going to win, she kept creating ties with [Mimicry], and Rey played rock-paper-scissors with a sword in hand. Rey, whose speed increased with [Swift Blade], could see my fingers’ final movement and throw at the same time. Isn’t that cheating?”

“But you have [Heaven-Blessed Talent] or [Blue Ruler’s Wisdom]…”

“Even those have limits. When rock-paper-scissors goes beyond a thousand rounds, how can I physically beat those two?”

Oh. So in the end, those two defeated all of Ragni’s rock-paper-scissors strategies with their skills.

My goodness, they beat Ragni in a battle of wits with pure strength and perseverance—is that impressive?

But the reward is just the order of kissing me…

“Just? You call it ‘just’? Do you still not understand how much we love and care for you?”

“…I’m sorry?”

“Good, as long as you understand.”

After saying that, Ragni stands on her tiptoes and slowly raises her face.

Hmm, perhaps because of the intense golem headbutt earlier, Ragni now seems like a celestial maiden.

Honestly, since I already did it with Rey, I overlap my lips with hers a bit faster this time.

-Smooch.

The moment our lips touch, a soft sensation and pleasant scent hit my nostrils.

Hmm, Rey and Ragni surely ate the same food as me, but the scent, sensation, and feeling are completely different.

Even though they’re both women, there’s a difference in softness. Of course, I’m not saying one is better than the other.

If Rey’s was a kind of wistful softness, Ragni’s is more of a cozy softness…

“Mmm♡”

“!!!”

Just as I was about to release her waist after finishing the kiss, as if timing it perfectly, Ragni embraced my neck with all her might and pressed her lips against mine.

Suddenly, as my lips were relaxing thinking it was over, her tongue invaded my open mouth and began to strongly lick my tongue.

T-this…!!! A d-deep kiss!! This is erotic!! Wait!! This is!!! Too erotic!!!

“Slurp!!♡”

“Mmph?!!”

At this sudden surprise attack, my head flashes like a lightning-struck computer.

Aaaah!! I’m being overwhelmed!! Sucked in!!! This is almost sex…!!!

“Slurp lick♡ Puah!!”

“Haah!!! R-Ragn…!!”

-Smooch♡

“!!!”

“Hehe. Take care and come back safely. Since I was last, I left a more intense mark.”

After kissing my cheek and cutting off my words, Ragni said that and then pushed my chest slightly to separate, then woke up the fainted Rey with a forehead flick, and they all took positions to see us off.

“Now, now. Take care, Jack!!”

“Leave Ira to us, and don’t get hurt!”

[Next time we meet, I will have evolved more than now. I will protect Miss Ira with my life, so don’t worry.]

“Oppa! Take care! Don’t get hurt! Come back soon!!”

Before I could recover from the morning’s barrage of kisses, all four of them saw me off with reddened faces and smiles, as if trying to send me away before I came to my senses.

I responded by just waving my hand like a completely broken machine.

…That last deep kiss was too intense. My computer is broken. It won’t reboot.

In the end, I don’t even remember how I passed through Neity’s gate and started running up the mountain.

And when I finally came to my senses.

“J-Jack sir!! Please!! Let’s go together!! You’re too fast!!! It’s already night?!”

It was when Miho, whose face was red for reasons I couldn’t understand, was following me covered in sweat from head to toe, shouting.

By then, we were already in a place where even the shadow of Neity couldn’t be seen.
