PMEVBO 95

From the moment Iser’s hand slipped into my pants, I knew we’d go all the way.

But I didn’t think we’d go this far…

I couldn’t even remember how many times I came in the office chair. How could I do something like this in a place where other people work? I was overcome with self-loathing. At least I hadn’t taken my pants off completely. The inside of my pants was a mess, but the chair and the floor around it were clean.

..I should still wipe it down once just in case.

When will I finish all this…

I needed to take a shower because my body was covered in all sorts of fluids. But I was sleepy and lazy.  I sighed and buried my face in Iser’s shoulder.

I felt Iser’s arm tighten around my waist. I leaned my cheek against his shoulder and blinked slowly. Then, a low voice drifted down from above my head.

“…What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about how good your cool body feels.”

It was true.

Iser’s body had been burning hot when we were making love, but now it had cooled down. For me, who was so caught up in the constant heat that I couldn’t even focus, it was simply a wonder. The coolness of the area touching him felt good. That’s why I kept clinging to him.

“I always thought you smelled good, and you still do now.”

“…”

“You don’t even sweat, Iser.”

I blurted things out as they came to mind, but I froze when a thought suddenly crossed my head.

“…Ah, sorry. This must be unpleasant for you. I’m really sticky from sweat right now.”

I tried to pull away from him, but then Iser’s cool hand began to slowly stroke my sweat-soaked back.

“Unpleasant?”

He muttered softly and licked my damp nape with his tongue. My shoulders twitched in response to the sudden action.

“How could I do this if it were unpleasant?”

Iser whispered with a smile. I raised my head and met his gaze. I soon burst into laughter and gently rubbed his soft cheek.

“You’ll eat just anything, won’t you?”

“It’s not just anything.”

Iser smiled languidly and leaned his head on my hand. Then, suddenly, he grabbed [visit our site]the back of my neck and pulled me closer. His soft lips touched mine, and I opened my mouth involuntarily. But what entered my gaping mouth wasn’t a tongue, but the Power of Life.

“Hngh.”

As a colder, more refreshing air than usual flowed in, the tingling, uncomfortable feeling in my stomach began to calm. My skin, sore from having sucked in too much, no longer ached. Even the clammy fluids inside and out of my body were completely removed.

Only after sucking my lower lip briefly did Isser withdraw.

“I like you being sticky, but I don’t think you like it very much.”

My whole body felt refreshed, as if I’d just taken a shower. I stood frozen, speechless, as Iser gently stroked the back of my neck. Before I knew it, his fingers were digging into my restraints.

“You said I smell good.”

“…”

“You smell exactly like me right now, do you like it?”

Iser smiled sweetly. I forgot to breathe for a moment, then a beat later, I kissed his eye.

“…Yeah, I like it.”

Come to think of it, ever since I woke up in the lounge bed today, a sweet herbal scent has been lingering in my nostrils. I thought it was just because I was stuck with Iser… … It seems like he cleaned me up last night when I passed out.

I didn’t know he could do things like this with the Power of Life.

But even though my body was clean, I still felt uncomfortable because of my dirty clothes. I really should wash up.

We tidied up the office together, and then Iser dropped me off at the breakroom and left to prepare a meal.

I decided to shower and change my clothes in the meantime. I took off my pants, and my lower body appeared covered in red marks. Just as I expected this afternoon, my lower body was also red without a single spot left untouched. I looked at the traces of last night for a moment and then turned on the water.

I finished my shower quickly and was changing into new clothes.

..The herb scent.

The herbal scent still clung to my body even though I used soap. I stopped in my tracks without realizing it, and then a familiar electronic sound pierced my ears.

Ding!

────【 Sub Quest 】────

Praise ‘XXX Hayut’!

(0/10)

D-3(72h)

Reward: Vaccine creation rate ?%

────────────────

It was the last sub-quest of level 2.

The target for praise is Iser again, as expected…

I hid the sub-quest window. Then I finished putting on my clothes, left the bathroom, and sat in a chair at the table.

The completion of the main quest’s conditions was right around the corner now. Fortunately, one of my worries was already resolved. I brought up the window that appeared while Iser was away because a duty guard from another floor visited.

────【 System Error 】────

An unexpected intervention has been detected.

‘ ████ ’ temporarily secures authority.

The player’s location is fixed to

‘Cell 1004’ by ‘ ████ ’.

(However, the timing of the fix depends on the player’s will.)

────────────────

I sat with both legs up on the chair and placed my chin on my hand. I stared at the status window for a long time and then squinted.

…No matter how much I think about it, this is strange.

It’s true that I’ve been waiting for the location-fix window to appear. The Guidance skill was a means to go to the castle, so the location-fix was a means to return to the cell.

But the location-fix also had a fatal flaw. If I left the fixed location, a forced return would trigger before long. That meant if I couldn’t finish the main quest by then, I might return to the cell and waste my precious Guidance skill.

But the location-fix that appeared this time was a bit different.

…The timing of the fix depends on my will?

No, so if I finish the main quest first and then fix the location… that means I can return to the cell at whatever time I want.

They’re looking out for my convenience this much…?

The conditions were so convenient that I was actually suspicious. But unfortunately, I didn’t have any other choice for now.

The way there and back are mostly resolved, so I just need to decide what excuse I’ll give Iser to go…

Speak of the devil, the door opened at just the right time. I was lost in thought while staring at the status window, but I turned my head and welcomed Iser.

“Oh, you’re back?”

“Yes.”

Iser placed a plate on the table. I couldn’t see the contents because it had a lid on it. When he finally opened the lid, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“What? You made it yourself this time?”

On the plate lay a sandwich that looked exactly like the one I made earlier today. Even the paper-wrapping method was the same. I figured he’d been watching me closely and making it exactly the same way…

He’s so cute I could die…

When I cut into the sandwich with a knife, the ingredients were packed tightly inside.

“I don’t know if it’ll be good.”

Iser spoke uncertainly. I grinned and stroked his cheek with the back of my hand.

“It’ll be delicious. I think you made it better than I did.”

Honestly, the taste didn’t matter. Iser couldn’t taste anything, and I was confident I could eat it happily even if it tasted bad.

I picked the prettier and bigger half and held it out, and this time Iser readily accepted it. I was holding my share of the sandwich and unwrapping the paper when he calmly began to speak.

“Lucariel, I think I have to be away three days from now. They told unauthorized copy me to attend a meeting on the 1st floor.”

I froze for a second, but then I managed to smile and looked at Iser.

“…Oh, really?”

Iser’s gaze was fixed on the sandwich in my hand. Yellow sauce was beaded on the cut surface, perhaps because I squeezed it without realizing. I set it down carefully because I was afraid I might ruin it.

“Did the duty officer from the other floor tell you that earlier?”

Iser just smiled when our eyes met. He took my sandwich and pushed his toward me as he nodded.

“Yes.”
