# Time at the Pool
The time at the pool passed quickly.
It was just a repetition of bouncing balls, splashing water, and drinking beverages, but Amon realized for the first time how fun it could be.
Splash!
“You little…!”
Amon, who had been pushed into the pool by Sonia Perfumerose, climbed back up to the ground with a single jump.
Then he picked her up and jumped into the pool together.
Splash!
A huge splash of water rose as the two fell in.
Sonia pounced on Amon from behind as he surfaced, pulling him back underwater.
Then both of them came back up to the surface, laughing brightly.
Although they had been too shy to look at each other’s faces when they first arrived at the pool, after splashing around a few times, they no longer felt awkward about physical contact.
They played mischievous pranks on each other just like friends always do.
“Well then. Let’s have something to drink.”
While the two were having a great time, the squint-eyed nun approached and offered them drinks.
They didn’t refuse since they were thirsty.
While refreshing her throat with lemonade, Sonia said to the nun, “I feel bad about this. Just us having fun like this.”
“It’s fine. When would I ever get to visit a place like this? I’m just using you as an excuse to come along, thanks to your funding, Sister.”
Sonia could only give a bitter smile at the nun’s words.
When she first heard that the nun would accompany them on the trip with Amon, she simply considered her a nuisance.
She thought the nun would take away her time alone with Amon and recite doctrine to stop her if she tried to have any improper contact with him.
But when they actually arrived, it wasn’t like that at all.
The nun was super open-minded.
She didn’t particularly stop Sonia from doing anything with Amon.
She just watched over Sonia and Amon from a distance as a travel guardian, enjoying the scenery.
Literally a money sponsor.
She was a grateful presence who just provided money and didn’t interfere with anything else.
Moreover, she occasionally brought them drinks or introduced them to various services.
She was more like a travel guide than a guardian.
Sonia, who had considered the nun a nuisance, felt extremely sorry.
Meanwhile, unlike Sonia, Amon wasn’t interested in the nun.
His attention was directed toward his female friend who was sipping her drink.
Just a few minutes ago, he couldn’t gather his thoughts due to the unfamiliar shock, but not anymore.
Now that he had some composure, he reflected on his feelings.
If Amon wasn’t mistaken, the emotion he felt when he first saw Sonia’s swimsuit was surprisingly not lust but excitement.
He felt genuine warmth when he saw her.
In this rotten world where no one could be trusted.
He genuinely felt that he wanted to be with her.
Immediately after, Amon’s body accelerated his blood flow, stimulating his lower body, and his heart pounded painfully.
That’s why Amon couldn’t help but be confused.
Did he… love Sonia?
***
Love was truly a difficult emotion.
There was no exact cause, no set pattern, and no principle that could explain it.
Amon was no exception.
His heart started racing for a friend he had taken for granted in daily life when he saw an unusual side of her.
Simply looking at it, one might think this is love, but Amon didn’t think so.
He had to be cautious.
Love in a peaceful world and love in a world where one might die at any moment had completely different meanings.
The meaning of the word “love” in this world was much heavier.
In a world where you shouldn’t trust anyone, you have to trust the other person and entrust your weaknesses to them.
And it’s an act of creating another weakness for yourself.
Rather than the fact that you have to reveal your weaknesses as mentioned earlier, it’s more painful that the other person becomes your weakness.
Because this garbage world doesn’t discriminate in its means and methods.
That’s why Amon couldn’t help but hesitate to acknowledge the emotion of love.
Could Amon truly love Sonia?
Furthermore, did he have the confidence to live with her as his weakness?
His worries didn’t last long.
Because the moment he saw Golden Sun hitting on Sonia on his way back from the bathroom, a thousand fires ignited in his chest.
‘Ah, it’s already too late.’
His heart already had no intention of letting Sonia go.
If this emotion wasn’t love, then what was it?
Therefore, there was no hesitation in Amon’s steps.
Just as Sonia had approached him, Amon approached her.
And wrapping his arm around her waist, he said,
“Honey, have you been waiting?”
Amon already had no intention of letting her go.
***
‘Huh?!’
Sonia, whose waist was suddenly grabbed by Amon without any warning, almost let out an involuntary moan.
Thanks to her innate reflexes, she managed to swallow the sound, but she couldn’t hide the hiccup that escaped.
She felt Amon’s fingers on her waist through the latex swimsuit, which was thinner than the cloth clothes she usually wore.
It was the first time she felt Amon’s fingers on her waist.
That wasn’t all.
As he pulled her closer, his body heat transferred directly to Sonia’s body.
Amon hugged her so tightly that it could have been painful.
Sonia didn’t resist and leaned on his shoulder, enjoying Amon’s firm muscles.
Then she gave a contemptuous look toward Golden Sun, who had been hitting on her until just now.
It meant “back off, I’m taken.”
But unlike the women who had approached Amon earlier, this Golden Sun’s attitude was a bit different.
He seemed to have something he believed in, maintaining a cocky attitude and continuing to flirt.
“Why are you playing hard to get? Oh, I see. Your friend over there looks decent too. It would be good for setting the mood. How about all of us together?”
Golden Sun pointed at the women he had brought along and made a gesture with one hand forming a circle with his thumb and index finger, while moving the fingers of his other hand in and out of that hole.
Amon’s disgust doubled.
It was quite unpleasant, but he couldn’t resort to violence.
Amon politely declined with a voice dripping with obvious displeasure.
“I’m sorry. We’re not interested.”
But the other party was Golden Sun, who had bad judgment.
However his answer came across, Golden Sun burst into a mocking laugh.
“Young friend, you don’t seem to know who I am.”
Golden Sun’s pupils expanded with a mechanical sound.
He scanned Amon’s body, confirmed that no procedures had been performed on his body, and raised the corners of his mouth.
He couldn’t help but laugh at Amon’s weak physique.
‘Are you trying to maintain your pride in front of a woman? Do you seriously think you can protect an S-class woman like her with that body?’
While inwardly mocking Amon, he introduced himself.
“I’m a Gold-rank adventurer, kid. Do you even know what that means?”
Golden Sun’s nose grew higher as he introduced himself.
How about that, punk? Do you understand the situation now?
He looked down at Amon with such an arrogant gaze.
However, the reaction from Amon and Sonia was completely different from Golden Sun’s expectations.
“So what?”
“Oh, I don’t care. Please leave.”
They couldn’t care less.
In fact, Amon was even relieved thanks to Golden Sun introducing himself as a Gold-rank adventurer.
Unless he was the son of some chairman or a gang executive, an adventurer was a profession without backing.
Besides, adventurer was just a fancy way for mercenaries to introduce themselves.
‘What? He’s just a nobody.’
Their only assets were their money, lawyers, and bodies.
Of course, they couldn’t mobilize these for a quarrel at a swimming pool, so Amon had no reason to be afraid.
Was he dissatisfied with their reaction?
Golden Sun raised his hand above his waist, aiming for Amon’s shoulder.
Such a weak body would dislocate just by touching and sliding the shoulder.
It was an appropriate method to teach him a lesson without staining the pool with blood.
But before his hand could touch Amon’s shoulder, reinforcements arrived.
“Is there a problem, young master?”
The squint-eyed nun approached the two with a kind smile.
It might be hard to tell when she was wearing her nun’s habit, but the nun had quite a strong build.
If she said she could perform an exorcism by cracking a demon’s skull, one might believe it.
Golden Sun rolled his mechanical eyes to scan the newly appeared nun’s body.
Most of the nun’s body was human.
However, just the left arm couldn’t be scanned.
It wasn’t that nothing was installed, but that it couldn’t be scanned.
Was it because of the summer weather in this place?
Sweat dripped down Golden Sun’s spine.
‘Shit. Was she from some special operations unit?’
Equipment that couldn’t be scanned was usually a feature found in military equipment that prioritized secrecy.
Mostly used by corporate special forces, former special forces turned gang members, and other similar monsters.
If asked how terrifying they were, if a fight broke out, they could rip out the spine of a mere Gold-rank adventurer and display it in their living room, and no one would know.
And someone addressed as “young master” by such a being would likely be the son of a gang boss or a company chairman.
Golden Sun rolled his eyes to gauge Amon’s reaction.
Noticing the hint, Amon played along with the nun’s act.
“This person keeps making uncomfortable suggestions to me.”
“Hmm…”
The nun rubbed her chin and looked Golden Sun up and down.
It clearly looked like she was estimating how to cook Golden Sun.
Even a mercenary who lives for today doesn’t want to die meaninglessly within the day.
Golden Sun immediately became submissive and begged Amon.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t know. Please just spare my life!”
“What did I say?”
“Nothing. You didn’t say anything. Yes, yes. I was talking nonsense.”
Amon, who was already tired just from facing Golden Sun, shooed him away with a gesture close to expulsion.
Golden Sun left immediately without any complaints.
As Golden Sun fled to the pool almost on the opposite side to avoid Amon’s group,
The nun muttered while watching them.
“Mercenaries… truly barbaric.”
Amon fully agreed with his words at this moment, regardless of the Vatican.
“People who live day by day begging in dungeons are all like that.”
As the two said, adventurers referred to mercenaries who explored dungeons.
Dungeons referred to companies that had collapsed when greedy corporations conducted dangerous experiments and failed to control them when they went out of control.
You know, like when a research facility is destroyed by escaped experimental subjects during biological weapon research,
Or when everyone becomes cursed and turns into undead while researching magic,
Or when an entity escapes while being used to power a generator and the company collapses.
Usually, when a company collapses overnight like this, the parties responsible for the damage caused by the failed experiment also vanish.
In a situation where those who should be held accountable have become food for the experimental subjects, even safely demolishing the building costs money.
So instead of demolishing them, the government chooses to wrap them up tightly, shut them down, and keep quiet about it.
Then a new ecosystem is created inside the closed building, and the cost of safely demolishing it increases.
When this vicious cycle repeats, a dungeon that is difficult to handle is completed.
A dungeon that has no productivity and only lowers land values.
Surprisingly, there is demand even for such troublesome things,
And this is where mercenaries come in.
Inside companies that collapsed suddenly, there are still confidential documents and proprietary technologies that haven’t been recovered.
It was a perfect place for mercenaries aiming for a windfall.
If there were body enhancement technologies or equipment left in the company, that’s a gain.
If there was information worth selling to the government or other groups, that’s a gain.
If the technology powerful enough to bring down the company became theirs, that’s the ultimate gain.
Just returning with limbs intact, no, just returning alive was a gain.
In fact, the top mercenaries in the industry all had one or two technologies from the deepest parts of dungeons installed in their bodies.
So mercenaries called themselves adventurers or explorers and jumped into dungeons.
Golden Sun, who had picked a fight with Amon, was also one of those kinds who had nothing but their bodies.
Such beings who pour their daily lives into sensual pleasures because they don’t know when they might die.
“Honestly, I don’t see how they’re any different from gamblers.”
“Just different stakes. Money or their own lives.”
“Brother. You’re harsher than you look.”
Amon shrugged in response.
Anyway, with the nun’s help, Amon had driven away the unwelcome visitor.
After thanking the nun, he checked on Sonia’s condition.
She was blushing in his arms.
He turned his head to check the position of the sun.
The sun was already setting.
Instead of taking her back to the pool, Amon suggested a place he had heard about from the nun.
“Shall we go back to our room?”
“…Yes.”
Sonia nodded shyly.
***
Amon and Sonia had no particular feelings about sharing the same room.
At least, that’s what they thought until eight hours ago.
But after realizing his feelings for Sonia, Amon could no longer look at her the same way as before.
‘No, why does this hotel have a shower visible from the bedroom for no reason!’
To be precise, it was semi-transparent glass, but that stimulated the imagination even more.
Swoosh
Splash splash
Whoever constructed the shower, they didn’t soundproof it at all.
‘I don’t know who you are, but thank you, you bastard…’
The swimsuits rented from the hotel, the structure of the double room, the structure of the shower.
The designer of this resort must definitely be a perv… no, a pervert.
Amon tried to turn his gaze away from Sonia’s shower by reciting the Heart Sutra in his mind.
But his nature kept directing his gaze toward Sonia’s silhouette.
The semi-transparent glass provided infinite room for imagination.
As she tilted her head back slightly, her voluptuous breasts showed their presence with beautiful curves.
As she started washing her body, the fatty lumps shook accordingly.
Amon’s gaze followed her hands.
The hands that started from the nape of her neck washed her waist and pelvis.
Eventually, as she bent down to wash her thighs and calves, her buttocks were emphasized.
Amon’s gaze momentarily left her hands to appreciate the beautiful curve created by her pelvis and waist.
The breasts that were round above her waist sagged like water balloons, fully displaying their presence.
This happy time ended soon as she straightened her waist again.
Before Amon could feel disappointed, her hands moved to the highlight.
She raised one arm and started cleaning her armpit.
Because of her too-large breasts, she had to clean her armpit by supporting underneath her breast.
He could vaguely see her breast being squished by her arm.
“Hmm~♪”
She hummed while cleaning the other side in the same way.
After the armpits, the next place was more intimate.
She supported her breast with one hand and cleaned underneath.
The shadow of her breast changed shape following her hands.
Squished, shaken,
And when passing through between the breasts from the lower part, they spread wide apart once more.
Thus capturing Amon’s gaze.
Eventually, the next destination headed toward her most intimate place.
Between thigh and thigh.
The entrance to a woman’s most precious part.
Barely suppressing the vulgar expressions that momentarily came to mind, Amon turned his gaze away.
Eventually, as Sonia’s shower ended, Amon’s happy time ended as well.
***
After Sonia’s shower, Amon also finished his shower.
Just as Amon had done, Sonia also fully enjoyed Amon’s silhouette.
Eventually, the two sat on the queen-sized beds placed side by side and faced each other.
Both had finished showering and were facing each other in a fluffy state.
Their cleavages were visible through the open bathrobes.
The fair skin on both sides was nothing short of a critical hit to each other.
They faced each other silently with their faces as red as radishes, but without turning their heads away.
Their chests felt ticklish, embarrassed, dizzy…
These sensations would not normally be described as pleasant, but at this moment, they were enjoyable.
After facing each other silently for a few minutes.
Amon broke the awkward atmosphere.
“Sonia.”
“Yes?”
“I’ve been thinking.”
Amon’s sudden confession.
Until this morning, he had thought of Sonia as a friend.
But the moment she was being hit on by Golden Sun, he couldn’t help but realize.
That he could never let her go.
And that he could entrust his back to her.
“I thought about it. I wondered if I was just attracted to your appearance. But that wasn’t it. I liked Sonia as a person.”
Throughout their time at the pool, Amon’s heart didn’t move even slightly when facing any beautiful woman.
When he realized that his gaze didn’t turn toward other people even slightly in this place where influencers and models from around the world gathered to show off their bodies in provocative swimsuits,
He was certain.
He liked Sonia as a person.
“Let me be clear. I like your pretty face. I like your voice, and I like your warm touch. Your cheerful personality with occasional cold gaps is charming. I like how you always affirm me and trust me.”
After pouring out his words without hesitation, Amon caught his breath and continued.
“But more than anything else, I… you whom I can trust…”
Hoo…
Amon took a deep breath.
And just as he was about to utter the final word.
Sonia intercepted his words.
“I love you.”
With those words, Sonia’s face drew closer to Amon’s.
Their breaths were trapped in one place.
‘?!’
Before Amon could process the situation, Sonia fully utilized her knowledge.
‘Wait, what’s with the tongue…’
Amon stopped thinking.
Instead, he concentrated to never forget this moment.
His first kiss was
Engraved deep in his soul, never to be forgotten.
