20 Princess’ Growth

I've been playing eroge lately (definitely not the reason why I didn't upload chapters lately) and I think it's a good idea to write a little bit of an R18 scene because it seems fun.

———

After the morning returned, the adventurers slowly regained their advantage against the monsters, and with the help of a few high-leveled adventurers, the human side slowly took hold of victory.

***

After only cleaning the corpse around the city could one finally finish the war.

Even after compensating the adventurers' death, the Beginner Village still raked a small benefit after collect the monster corpse.

The boring action of taking care of mondter corpse was handled by the healed guild leader. Despite his looks and brawn, the guild leader did his job efficiently.

Opening the door, Reinhardt saw the two lonely figures resting.

One was snoring hugely indicating how much his body sought rest, while the other who was seated on the chair next to the bed was silently sitting without making a single sound, staring at the void as two pink petals pattern intertwined around her pupils glimmering in pink-emerald.

"Princess," Reinhardt called out to Ceri.

Although he had a clue about the sudden change in Ceri's body, he didn't know how it exactly changed.

Sweeping past his eyes while waiting for Ceri to turn to him, Reinhardt notices the faint glimmer buried under Rein's eyelids.

"Hm?" blinking her eyes,

"Was it a right decision to have used the Blossoming to him?" Reinhardt asked.

"Are you sure that it was right to bet that skill on him?" Reinhardt changed his word.

...

The silence continued for a while until finally, Ceri opened her mouth. "Reinhardt, I want to join Rein-san's party."

What came from Ceri's mouth was a sentence that completely ignored Reinhardt's question, at the same time, answered it.

"For now, I want to travel and get stronger not as a princess trying to take back the throne but as a party member of [Fate]," Ceri's eyes were filled with resolution... until they wavered as they looked at Reinhardt.

"I know I shouldn't be acting like a child but could you let me be at this party?" Ceri spoke as if a daughter asking her father to buy a plushie.

Inwardly, Ceri thought that it was a shame to join someone else's party instead of going around with Reinhardt.

After all, she was the sole hope of the Midom Kingdom and if she ran off to another party, doing whatever she wanted, she would be avoiding the responsibility she should accomplish.

Thus, the sacrifices Reinhardt Knight Division paid to save her, and her father's death, would all go in vain and that would make Reinhardt look like an idiot.

She felt bad for him, she felt guilty for being selfish for the first and the worst time.

However, Ceri was enticed by Rein's devilish words.

Double Cheeseburgers aside, inside the [Wormhole], Rein asked her.

'All I want to hear is your opinion,' as simple as it seem, to her it was an entirely foreign matter.

Till that day, to Ceri it was all about, 'do this, do that,' but never 'do what you want,' as she was taught how to be a princess with the proper manners.

Although she liked seeing the scenery of everyone smiling, she never had the wish of ruling the country and she only find out this 'wants' of her after being questioned by Rein about her 'opinion'

Only after Cero lost her only desire to satisfy which is not disappointing her father—finally did she notice how empty she was. She had no desire, she had no goal. It was no different than living a dead life.

"..." Reinhardt kept a quiet as the flashback played.

'Reinhardt, if I have regret after becoming a king, that would be prioritizing my citizens over loving my daughter. As a father, I am the worst.' it was a day when the two secretly drank booze to talk together.

"Princess, you have grown up," Reinhardt murmured to himself before smiling.

"Princess, I am a mere but your knight. If it's to your desire, I would question to nothing to dive into a sea of flame. Therefore, I have nothing but support for your decision!"

"Our path may divide from here out but please do remember that no matter how much time has passed, I am forever, a knight of yours, shall we entwine ever again." Reinhardt saluted.

"Un." tears dropped from Ceri's cheeks as she earnestly nods.

Well it's both convenient for Reinhardt and Ceri

Since when Reinhardt talked about how he wanted to Ceri to join my party, Ceri was sleeping in my arm at the moment (After the cheeseburger scene).

Hmm... This skill is good. I can sleep by closing my eyes while still being aware of the outside, I only have to be really tired at that day and forget to turn it off.

Don't misunderstand me. I didn't lip-read them or shit while I was sleeping.

I just figured that the two were talking about that when Reinhardt's figure couldn't be seen and Ceri came to my side to join my party.

Of course, I shamelessly accepted Ceri's party request. Right now, Tilda was accompanying Ceri... or should I say, Ceria on making her ID Card, Adventurer Card.

The two were talking above my sleeping body a day ago so... it was about two days since the monster horde attacked.

I opened my eyes, then concentrated on my eyes as two petals intertwined around my pupils.

Right at this moment, I showed a concentration never been demonstrated before and looked around me... wall. Obviously, with my newly gained ability, I was seeing through it.

'Alright, since I can't see Ceri around me, she shouldn't see me even if she so happen to acquire a similar ability to mine.'

'There is also no person around me with the ability to detect a sound,' my suppressed breath suddenly became more excited.

"12, fucking, days. I can endure a week, but why the fuck should I endure it when it's not even no-nut November."

Using this omnipotent ability, [Blossoming Clairvoyance], I pulled down my pants as I peeked over the couple about to have sex 2 kilometers ahead.

As I was about to touch my not so almighty, almighty meat pole,

*Poof*

Smoke scattered all over the room

<Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration> <Acceleration>

Using whatever I got, I instantly reacted, pulling my pants up, an sweet silhouette emerged in the smoke.

Of course, having the power of see-through, I already knew it wasn't the succubus I was hoping for.

The smoke dissipated soon as a childish figure came out. Despite having no breasts, the way she's dressed exposed many skins, showcasing her erotic and flexible body.

Oh also, the cat's ears and tails were extra for her adorableness to balance out the erotism.

"Rein-sama, you have been invited to manage a floor in Tower nya~! Please come with me, nya!" the cat-girl cutely said.

Normally, I'd be delighted to see adorable creatures but...

'Fuck off, I'm sexually frustrated. Stop cock-blocking me!'
