19 Chapter 18

The scenery before them immediately changed into that of a massive and lavish, beautifully decorated living room with beautiful white sofas, a beautiful coffee table of marble and glass at its center, an enormous LCD Tv screen, and an enormous, glimmering multi-colored chandelier hanging right above from the tall ceiling.

The marble floor and all the walls were white, and below the sofas was a beautiful pure white fur carpet that would resemble clouds at a distance.

Past the living room, beyond the massive glass window, was an enormous swimming pool with an equally sizable patio surrounded by trees and flowers.

However, Yuuji and Aika, who were suddenly transported from their own worlds, were unable to completely appreciate the sheer luxury and beauty of their new residence as a terrible headache and nausea hit them the moment they arrived.

It was only a few moments later when the nauseating sensation finally subsided that they were stunned by the appearance of their home.

"Wow… This is… Amazing…"

"Uhn… I've never seen anything like this in real life…"

Yuuji and Aika looked around in amazement at the scene before them as they stood in the foyer, right before the massive, beautiful, white, and gold double door entrance.

There was a hallway, a spiral staircase of marble leading up to the second floor and down to the underground floor or floors, and what seemed to be a massive dining room to their left, and another hallway to their right, whose floor was covered by an extraordinarily beautiful black and gold carpet. There are two doors on the left side of the hallway, one smaller and the other a massive, white, wooden double door, and one double door to their right. And at the end of it was a small niche with a collection of beautiful paintings of scenery hung on the wall.

But as they looked around, their gazes coincidentally met, and for the first time since they knew each other, Yuuji and Aika saw each other in person.

Both of them immediately froze as their eyes widened in surprise, absolutely and completely mesmerized.

While Yuuji had attained resistance to beauty from living with world-class beauties all his life, he couldn't help but still be mesmerized by Aika.

She was… even more beautiful than the pictures of herself that she sent him…

Her eyes, her nose, her lips, her face, her hair, her body, her arms, her legs, and even her fragrance… Everything about her was so beautiful…

He had been dreaming about her ever since she first sent him her picture and talked with her… He had always wanted to meet her in person, and now… He was absolutely speechless.

She was… so perfect… It was the first time he had ever found another woman that perfectly suit his taste, both appearance-wise and personality-wise, aside from the women in his family.

As Yuuji stared blankly at her, Aika also stared blankly at him, fully mesmerized by his appearance as well.

Her entire body froze, but her mind was in complete chaos.

How!? How could he be this handsome!? Isn't he even more handsome than in his pictures!? How is that even possible!?

Aika began to panic slightly as her cheeks reddened and her heart thumped rapidly. At this rate, she'll be even more head over heels for him! He's so unfair! And what's with that adorable blushing face!!! Is he trying to give her a heart attack!?

After being lost in their own thoughts for a while, the two finally snapped out of their daze and immediately averted their gazes in embarrassment.

"M-My bad… I-I'm sorry for staring…"

Their faces were obviously red to their ears, and Yuuji could barely get those words out of his mouth after he was caught staring at her and being mesmerized.

"O-Oh my~ What's this~ Did you just stare at me for that long~? Were you mesmerized by my beauty and sexiness~?"

Aika said in a teasing manner. Her lips were curved into her usual teasing grin, but inside, she was absolutely and completely embarrassed to death.

After all, she was also staring at him for a long time! And she even drooled a little bit! Thankfully, Yuuji didn't seem to notice it, but it was still embarrassing!

Moreover, she was completely caught off guard by his utter cuteness when he became embarrassed, and she didn't want him to see her "dere-dere" side yet. So she tried hiding her own embarrassment by teasing him.

But his next words completely caught her off guard.

"Y-Yes… You are… even more beautiful than the photos…"

Aika's entire body froze once again and her mind almost short-circuited from his words.

S-She didn't expect him to be this upfront!!!!

I-I-I need to run! I-I can't! I-I'm still not ready!!! M-My heart won't be able to handle it!!!

"H-Heee~ I-Is that so~ A-Ahh… ! I-I'll go and explore the house first!!!"

Aika immediately dashed away into the hallway to her left, passing the spiraling staircase to her left, and massive dining room to her right, and turned to the right, disappearing from Yuuji's sight.

Watching her run away, Yuuji couldn't help but keep staring in her direction in a daze.

Cute…

He of course noticed how his honest words flustered her. He knew after chatting with her a lot that she tends to tease the other party when she became embarrassed or shy and how she's all offense without any defense. So when he said his honest feeling straightforwardly, she immediately run away.

"Hah… How could she become even cuter in real life…?"

If she got any cuter… She might give him a heart attack one of these days…

Yuuji let out a deep sigh and took out his smartphone to contact Tatsuya.

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Tatsuya, Aika and I have arrived. I'm not sure where we are yet since we teleported right into our horse, so I'll let you know when I find out. We'll also come and visit you. Will tomorrow be okay?"

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Ah, please give us your address too."

Shiba Tatsuya: "Alright. Tomorrow morning would be fine. Here is my address."

Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Got it. Then, see you tomorrow. We'll discuss our plan then."

Shiba Tatsuya: "Mm. See you."

After chatting with Tatsuya, Yuuji noticed a new notification sign in his inventory.

That must be the supporting items… I better find Aika first and then open it together.

Preparing his heart to be in the presence of the subject of his massive love interest, Yuuji took a few deep breaths, picked up his luggage and Aika's four large travel luggage that she left behind when she run away, and entered their new home in search for Aika.

"Ooooi! Aika! Let's put our things in our rooms first and then explore the house together! Seriously! You've got four massive luggage and I'm not dragging all of these myself!"

Yuuji's yell echoed within the massive living room, but no response came back.

"Hah… Guess it's a game of hide and seek it is…"

He let out a sigh once again and sharpened all of his senses, especially his olfactory sense.

The moment he first caught a whiff of her intoxicating, sweet, and flowery fragrance, it had already become unforgettable.

Yuuji himself couldn't believe it. He knew he had quite a fetish for the sweet, flowery scent of the women he loves, but to think he could memorize Aika's scent this quickly…

Now that he has enhanced senses, he couldn't help but think that his fetish for his beloved's scents would become much worse than before. After all, he's already quite aroused just from seeing Aika and smelling a whiff of her scent once…

Wait… Then that means… Aren't I clearly on the way to becoming a pervert with a smell fetish…?

--------------------------------X--------------------------------

After just a little while, Yuuji found Aika in what seemed to be a massive leisure room, even more massive than the living room, from the sound of her footsteps against the marble floors.

It was incredible… Just when he thought it wouldn't get any more luxurious than that living room, there was an incredible leisure room complete with luxurious furniture and modern appliances. Moreover, he also saw how incredible the kitchen was when he glimpsed to his left as he turned the corner.

But before getting more distracted, he quickly made his way to Aika. Though as expected, there was still quite an awkward atmosphere between them.

"H-Hey Aika. Let's find the rooms first and place our luggage there."

"A-Ah! Y-Yuujii!"

Like a deer caught in headlights, Aika stiffened the moment she noticed Yuuji's presence and immediately averted her gaze away from him.

N-No! Why are you being like this, Aika! Being shy like this doesn't suit you! You already know he's handsome as f*ck! Stop being flustered!

Aika took a few deep breaths and calmed her heart before facing Yuuji again.

"E-Eeeehh~? Just leave it in the living room for the time being~ Let's explore!"

Seeing her finally return to the way she acted like she usually does, Yuuji also forced himself to calm down and acted normal.

"No no… You're still in your school uniform, you know? You should go change first before we look around more.

"Buuuu… Fine. But this place sure is big, how are we going to find it?"

"Hm… I'm not sure. Let's try turning left when we pass by that staircase and then check out the hallway to the right. That hallway seemed to be special since it's covered by a beautiful carpet."

"Sure~!"

Leaving the leisure room, Yuuji and Aika returned to the three-way intersection and went straight to the other hallway they hadn't checked out yet.

As they went through the hallway, there was a door to their left with the label "Utilities" on top of it and another door to their right with the label "Pantry". And passing through the hallway, they arrived in the gallery with a door to their right and a small hallway to their left.

"Hey, let's check out the door!"

"Sure."

The two opened the door to their right and found an amazing, beautiful, modern-style bedroom with predominantly white walls and floors, and black carpet below a king-sized bed against large, glass windows with the scenery of the side courtyard.

To their left, parallel to the side of the bed, was a door and large mirrors. And when they inspect it closer, the large mirrors were in fact an enormous cupboard that they would open automatically by touching a part of the mirror, while the door lead to a private bathroom, complete with showers, jacuzzi, a powder room, a bidet toilet, and a walk-in closet!

"Wooooww~ This is amazing~!!!! I call dibs on this one!!!"

"It really is… Alright, then I'll leave your luggage here, okay?"

"Uhn~! Oh, but before I go change, let's go check out the other side of this room and the special hallway you told me together~!"

"Oh, sure."

Yuuji left all four of her luggage on the floor by her bed and the two left the room, heading to the other side.

There were four doors in the hallway. The one to their left had the label "Service Entrance" on top of it, while the one at the end of it had the label "Garage". The one right next to the garage was the "storage", so they entered the last door to their right that didn't have any labels.

As they entered, they were greeted by a similar room to the one Aika chose to be her room.

"Oooh~! It's another room! And it's identical to the one we have, just on the opposite side."

"Hmm… Then these two might be regular rooms and not the master bedroom."

"Mm. Then that special hallway you said earlier might lead to the master bedroom! Let's check it out!!!"

"Ah! Wait!"

Making their way back to the foyer with Yuuji chasing after Aika, they quickly arrived before the hallway where the black and gold carpet and the niche with beautiful scenery paintings were.

There were two doors to their left, one smaller with the label "Powder Room" and another one a massive, white, wooden double door framed by a wooden frame with golden engravings. While the one to their left was a double door with the label "Study" on top of it.

The two immediately went to the obviously special room.

"Wow… this just screams master bedroom, huh?"

"It does… Let's check it out."

"Uhn!"

Upon entering, they were greeted by an extremely massive room, far beyond the two other bedrooms they've seen so far.

Right before them was a set of sofas with a coffee table and a home theatre set with a massive LCD TV fitted into the wall right in front of the sofas.

Then further within, they could finally see a massive, double king-sized bed against the wall, another set of sofas and coffee table to its right, and a massive glass window with curtains on the side that led to the veranda and gave them an amazing view of the massive swimming pool and planters.

"This… This is amazing!!!!! What the hell?!!! Then was my bedroom just a guest room?!!!"

"T-This is really amazing… I'm really speechless…"

The two entered further in and tried looking for the toilet and bathroom. But instead, they found the walk-in closet of the master suite.

And when they entered it, there was also a dressing room beyond it. And even further beyond it was another walk-in closet that finally led to the master's bathroom that had a massive jacuzzi!

"W-What the hell… This bathroom alone is even bigger than my room… Wait, there's a gym back here too?!"

Entering deeper into the master's bathroom, there was a small gym with a bench press machine, a chest press, a lat pull-down machine, a low-pulley cable bench, a squating rack, and a leg press machine.

And at the corner, there was also a small shower room and a door that led to what seemed to be a small, private garden…

"...Do you want this room?"

"...No, you can take it, Yuuji. It's too big for me alone."

"..."

--------------------------------X--------------------------------

Yuuji finally gave up and took the massive master bedroom, which was essentially its own house at this point, after Aika convinced him to take it.

They both went back to their rooms and get changed, before Yuuji head to the living room and waited for Aika.

The moment he sat on the sofa, Yuuji immediately felt as if he had sunk into a bed of clouds and his entire body immediately lose all strength and leaned into it.

Ahh… This is bad… I hadn't tried sleeping on the bed in my room yet, but I could easily fall asleep here…

He leaned back and closed his eyes for a bit, enjoying the best sofa he had ever sat on in his life, before the sound of footsteps made him opened his eyes.

In that moment, his eyes widened when he saw Aika's figure in her regular clothing… She was wearing a long-sleaved wool sweater with a turtleneck and long, pajamas pants that hugged her figure loosely.

She looked… Absolute adorable, soft, and warm…

As she walked towards him, he couldn't help but stare at her dazedly. She gave off an entirely different atmosphere…

She was normally bewtiching and mischievous, but now, she looked extremely docile, fluffy, warm, and cute…

That is until she suddenly slip her right arm in between her two massive breasts, placed her other hand in front of her crotch, and posed at him seductively with a lascivious smile.

"What do you think, big boy~? No other man had ever seen me these types of clothes before, you know~?"

Yuuji's lips twitched as he was abruptly snapped out of his daze by her lewd comment and let out a sigh.

"You looked so innocent, cute, soft, and amazing… But you just suddenly had to act like that again."

"Ehehehe~ Isn't it better to have a woman who can do both~? I'm a lady in the streets, freak in the sheets~!"

"...Aren't you a pervert both in the streets and in the sheets?"

"Ufufufu~ That is where you're wrong, Yuuji~"

Aika moved closer towards him and lend forward until her lips were right before his ears.

"I'm even more of a freak in the sheets~ Would you like to try~?"

His face immediately blushed and his heart thumped rapidly at her words.

His condition before meeting Aika was already bad after that talk with his mother. And after meeting Aika, his horniness was only ever increasing, especially when the girl she had a crush on was even hotter in reality than in her photos!

And now… She was saying those things to him!!! Did she know how painful it is to push down a massive raging hard-on?!

"A-A-Anyway! L-Let's talk about our situation first and get our supporting items from our inventory!!!"

"Eeeeeh~? But I still want to explore the house more!"

Aika stood back up and placed her hands on her hips as she pouted at his words.

"...We can do that tomorrow. It's already eight o'clock at night, you know? It'll be past midnight by the time we finish exploring this massive mansion."

"Buuuu… Fine. But as compensation, you must make me dinner! I haven't eaten dinner, you know~? We got the mission right after I return from Akihabara~"

Aika pointed right at Yuuji with a grin as he tilted his head to the side.

"Hm? What were you doing in Akihabara?"

"Hehe~ That's for you to look forward to later~"

"... Alright. I'll go to the kitchen and whip something real fast. You can go wait in the dining room. I hope there's food in this house…"

"Okay~"

Yuuji headed to the kitchen as Aika followed him excitedly and sat down in one of the many chairs in the massive dining room.

Upon entering the massive kitchen, Yuuji couldn't help but be amazed once again by its sheer size and magnificence. There was a massive double-doored fridge, a sizeable oven, several induction cooktops, a beautiful marble kitchen island, cupboards with automatic doors along the top of the kitchen, a large sink, a state-of-the-art dishwasher, and a complete set of various kitchen utensils like pans, knives, eating utensils, etc.

Moreover, since Tatsuya's world was far more advanced than Yuuji's or Aika's world, the kitchen appliances here were incredibly advanced for their standards. Some even seemed to be using a technology that didn't even exist yet in their world.

It was truly a dream come true for anyone who enjoys cooking. Even Yuuji, an amateurs cook who had only learned from his mother for a few days, couldn't help but appreciate the sheer quality of the kitchen appliances he had here.

Checking the fridge, Yuuji found it filled to the brim with food and various fresh products that he could easily feed both him and Aika for months, considering the size of the fridge.

"Aika! Do you want something light or something more filling? We've got a full fridge here!"

"Something quick and filling!!! Hurry up! I'm starving~!"

"Alright!"

Yuuji stared at the ingredients he had in the fridge once again and checked the cupboards for spices and condiments. To his pleasant surprise, the cupboard was also filled with various spices and condiments that he could, essentially, make anything with. So he had plenty of options to choose from.

Light and filling… Hmm, let's go with a traditional Japanese breakfast-style meal.

Yuuji quickly began preparing the rice first and foremost, washing it thoroughly, and began cooking it in the rice cooker.

Then, he took out a nice, thick salmon fillet from the fridge as well as a block of tofu, some seaweeds and green onions, and a container of organic miso paste.

Salmon onigiri and miso soup. Should be good for a very late dinner.

Yuuji began pan grilling the salmon he had seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper, and then cut up the blocks of tofu, seaweeds, and green onions for the miso soup as he waited for the water to boil while still keeping an eye on the salmon.

He had never shown such dexterity and skills in front of his mother before while they were making his, Yuna, and Nina's lunch for school, even though he had long since absorbed his mother's skills with his accelerated learning speed.

But that was because he didn't fully pay attention to what he was doing. He was mainly paying attention to his mother, talking to her, and enjoying her presence while also cooking on the side.

That was the most important thing to him, considering he could rarely be with her alone the rest of the day. But now, with Aika hungrily waiting for him to finish cooking, he did everything as efficiently as possible and did his best.

Soon, the tantalizing and appetizing smell slowly drifted from the kitchen into the dining room a few minutes after Yuuji went to the kitchen.

As she was sightseeing in the dining room, she caught the faint smell of grilled fish and miso with her enhanced senses despite the distance between the dining room and the kitchen.

"*Sniff**Sniff* Wooooww… It already smells so good… Ah, this is bad! The smell is making me even hungrier!"

She was already fairly excited, given this would be the first time she'd eat a meal cooked by Yuuji himself. She had always been envious of his sisters, who could eat his meal every day, and always wondered how it would taste.

And now, after smelling it, she could barely contain her excitement!

Her walking pace quickened as she walked around the dining room, looking around while her mind was filled with excitement and expectations for Yuuji's home cook meal.

And after waiting for around 25 minutes, Yuuji finally came with a large tray of food to the dining room. On it was two rectangular plates with three onigiris, two empty bowls, a ladle, and a pot of miso soup.

"Ah! You're finally done!!!"

Aika quickly went to the table and sat down in excitement, her eyes locked on the food Yuuji brought.

"I'm sorry it took a while. The rice took a little bit to cook, but here you go. Grilled Salmon Onigiri and miso soup."

Yuuji placed the tray down and then placed the plates of onigiris, bowls, and the pot of miso soup onto the dining table.

"Wooooww~!!! It looks so amazing~!!!"

"Let's eat it while it's still warm. Here you go."

"Hehe~ Thank you for the meal~!"

Aika blew on the bowl of miso soup Yuuji poured for her a little bit and took a sip.

"Wow…! This… This is amazing!!!! I've never had such a flavorful but also light miso soup ever before! It's super delicious!"

Her eyes sparkled in excitement as she continued to drink her bowl of soup greedily.

"I'm glad. I learned it from my mother. She's an amazing cook herself."

"Oooh~ A hot housewife who earns money and can cook this amazing~ How sexy~ It must be hard for you, huh~?"

Aika lowered the now half-empty bowl of miso soup and grinned teasingly at Yuuji.

"...I didn't like you put it, but I can't deny it either."

"Hehehe~ Well don't worry~ You have a talent to become a househusband yourself~! Having such a handsome and perfect househusband… Aren't you scared some girl would try and lock you in the house forever~?"

"...Stop it. That's a genuine concern for me now after all those hentai mangas with the confinement tag you send me…"

"Ahahaha~ I'm just helping you open your eyes~!"

"Hah… "

"Hehe~ Now then, let's try these onigiris~ Ah, fill me up again with the miso soup, please~!"

"Alright."

Yuuji let out a sigh, but he couldn't help but smile as he watched Aika deliciously eating his food and even making some exaggerated reactions. She was so cute that he was already full just watching her eat deliciously and watching her being all cute and adorable.

"Yuuji, what are you doing~? Let's eat together! It's super delicious, you know?!"

"Yes yes."

Yuuji grabbed one of the onigiris and took a small bite.

Judging by how much she was enjoying it, Yuuji knew it was delicious. But the taste didn't register in his mind as it was filled with her figure as he continued to watch her eat.

This feeling… It was similar to how he'd enjoy watching Yuna and Nina eat the lunch he made for them…

It was extremely… satisfying and rewarding, and he just couldn't stop watching her.

Before he knew it, she had already finished all three of her onigiris and filled the rest of the space in her stomach with the miso soup, fully satisfying her hunger.

"Phew~ That was amazing~! Thank you so much for the amazing meal, Yuuji~"

"Mm. No problem."

Yuuji also finished his meal and began putting everything back into the tray to be cleaned later.

"Hah… This whole situation is… still a bit surreal, huh?"

"Surreal?"

"Mm… I mean, we're in another world, you know? You and I are from different worlds, and yet here we are together in yet another different world. And we'll also be getting powers that only existed in fantasy before… Well, we kinda already got it when we used the gacha before."

"If you put it that way, then it does feel surreal… But to me, I feel like we're just going from one place to another since we could come back after finishing what we need to do. It's like going overseas…

As for the powers… I was certainly shocked at first, but I'm trying my best to adapt and I've been getting used to it surprisingly quickly.

I don't know, maybe it's just because I've read a lot of manga and watched a lot of anime with this kind of theme, so I got used to it quite quickly."

"Hm, I see… I guess I'll need to start thinking that way too. I need to adapt quickly and focus on the mission!"

"Mm. Don't worry, Tatsuya and I are also here, so you can just enjoy this little "vacation"."

"A vacation huh~? That's a great way to think about it~ Oh, but there's still one thing I can't figure out! How do we get this super modern and luxurious mansion to be our residence?! I thought we'll just get a regular house!!!"

Aika exclaimed as she spread her arms out.

"Hm… I'm guessing that it is somehow related to the wealth we received for the mission."

"Ah, the 60% of our total wealth thing?"

"Mm. I got 1% of iApple stocks from the gacha, which is worth billions of dollars, and you also got the right to an onsen resort, right? So having 60% of that wealth means that you're plenty wealthy yourself. Combine the two and it kinda makes sense why we got this kind of mansion as our residence in this world rather than a regular home."

Aika's eyes sparkled as she listened to his explanations. She stoo dup from her seat and made her way towards Yuuji who was sitting opposite of her, swinging her hips seductively as her lips curled into a luscious teasing grin.

"Hm? What are yo- Wait, what are you doing?!"

"Oh my God~!!!! I got myself a sugar daddy~!!! And such a handsome one at that~!!!"

Aika suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and buried his face into her breasts, embracing him tightly.

"Oi! L-Let me go!!! Your things are touching my face!!!"

"Ahnn~ Fufufu~ Of course they are~ I'm pressing these babies to you on purpose~ How are they~? They're so big, soft, warm, and heavenly, right~"

"U-Uggh…"

In the face of such cold, hard facts, Yuuji couldn't deny it. It was amazing… No, it was heavenly! Just like she said, it was super big, almost the size of his head, but that wasn't all. Her warmth, this softness, and her scent, all immediately made him super hard. If it wasn't for his quick reaction to push his erect dragon rod down, it would've bumped onto the dining table and made a sound that got her attention.

"Hehehe~ How cute~ I love honest and cute boys the most~"

As she hugged him, Aika was also breathing in lungfuls of his scent as she nuzzled her face onto his head as she hugged him.

S-She didn't know where she got that burst of confidence and courage to hug him like this. She just wanted to tease him a bit and hug his arm. But after seeing him up close, suddenly an urge to hug his head overwhelmed her and she was already pulling his face into her cleavage by the time she realized it.

And now that she's here… She was super glad she got to do it!!!!!

Aaaah~ He smells so good~ And I can feel his every movement on my chest~ It feels so good~!

She wanted to do this all night. This was… the closest she had been with her crush, and she wanted to stay like this…

And judging by the lack of resistance, Yuuji was also enjoying it, right?

Ufufufu~ He loves my tits after all~ He's so cute~

As someone who was flat as a board before, words couldn't describe how happy she was for getting such massive breasts since she had always envied such a thing. And now, she's even happier, knowing her beloved also love it very much.

They stayed in that position for a while, both of them enjoying each other's warmth and touch in silence, until Aika suddenly remembered there was something he wanted to tell Yuuji.

"Ah, that's right! I have something I need to tell you."

"Hm? What is it?'

Yuuji looked up towards her as Aika loosened her arms around his neck. His face was still touching her cleavage, but his mind and attention were already focused on her words. He had a bad feeling judging by the tone of her voice.

"A fallen angel attacked me this afternoon when I was on my way home from Akihabara. It was the one named Dohnase-"

"What?! Are you okay?! Are you hurt anywhere! Tell me! Did he hurt you?!"

Aika widened her eyes in surprise when Yuuji suddenly raised his voice and stood up and held her shoulders strongly.

She could see the panic in his eyes as he looked around at her body worriedly before returning his gaze towards her with a frightened expression.

Ah… He's worried for me… Even more than I expected…

Her lips couldn't help but curl into a smile that reached her eyes as she looked up to him in happiness.

She slowly moved her hands towards his face and caressed his cheeks softly, ever so gently. Lovingly.

"I'm okay, Yuuji. It was a little bit scary at first, but I activated my magical necklace at the right moment and… well, let's just say, I now know how strong the peak of human kind is with all their potential unlocked."

Yuuji let out a deep sigh in relief when he heard her words and fell back down to his chair as his entire strength left him.

"Thank goodness… Don't scare me like that…"

"Ehehehe~ You just panicked on your own before listening to the entirety of my story, you know~? How did it become my fault~?"

"...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice like that. And I'm also sorry if I hurt you."

"No~ You didn't hurt me and I'm also very that you became that worried for me~"

"..."

Aika grinned once again when she saw him averting his face slightly in embarrassment.

"But still, I'm glad we got a quest right after that ordeal. Now, I can get new powers to defend myself with."

Aika said as she wrapped her arms around Yuuji's neck once again and pulled his head towards her chest.

"Mm… The other three might also come for you now that you've defeated one of them. And they'll be even more careful."

Feeling exhausted from the emotional whiplash and yearning for her warmth after knowing how close he was to losing her, Yuuji leaned into her, burying his face in between her heavenly breasts, and wrapped his arms around her slim waist, hugging her softly.

"Please… Be careful… Seriously… Don't give me another heart attack…"

"Mm. I will. But can I call you if things get a little bit out of hand?"

"Of course. I'll be there whenever and wherever you need me. And now that we've unlocked this world, go here if you're in danger and call me. Got it?"

"Mm. Thank you."

"You're welcome…"

As silence fell upon the dining room, Yuuji and Aika stayed in each other's embrace as Aika softly stroke his head while Yuuji tightened his hug around her waist, fully embracing the sensation of each other's presence and warmth.

At this moment, both of them thought of the same thing.

Ah… I've really fallen in love with him/her…
