Chapter 232: Terrifying Talent

"Welcome back, Arce-sama," Haruhime greeted her guest with a deep bow, smiling.

"I've returned, my beautiful princess," Yuki replied with a smile, taking Haruhime by the waist alongside Aisha, who, unlike the first time, didn't tremble.

After several days of meeting and conversing, Haruhime had grown accustomed to their actions and touches. Her resistance had significantly decreased, and now she willingly approached them.

"What a beautiful tail~"

"Arce-sama... This..."

Especially to Yuki's caresses on her tail and ears, Haruhime discovered Yuki's fetish for them. Even when she asked, Yuki admitted it without hesitation. Yuki enjoyed touching her long, fluffy tail a lot.

This made her blush a lot, as her ears and tail were very sensitive. However, she didn't dislike the caresses; on the contrary, she liked them. Wrapping her tail around his body, Haruhime hugged him even tighter.

"Haruhime..."

"Arce-sama."

After that warm embrace, they brought their faces closer, their lips meeting.

This was another thing Haruhime had learned. She no longer fainted at the sight of his collarbone, and Yuki had even tried his luck and stolen her lips.

Although she initially fainted, rendering Yuki unable to proceed further that night, after several more attempts, she finally accepted it. It could be said that his patience and persistence bore fruit.

Now he could embrace and kiss this beautiful Renard, and sometimes even her neck was allowed to be kissed.

Although she still felt fear, she no longer resisted.

What never fails when it comes to seducing a woman?

It's persistence...

No matter how difficult the woman, if there's a slight hint of wavering, a man's persistence will triumph.

However, one must know when to reach a limit; seducing is very different from harassing.

Of course, Yuki knew his limit and also which woman to seduce. After all, in his past life, Yuki witnessed many men becoming victims of women's toys due to their persistence.

(Author's Note: Be very careful; persistence always wins, but you must choose which woman to apply it to; otherwise, you'll end up being mocked. Even if that woman ends up in your arms in the end, you'll be the last choice, a second-rate option. Watch out for that... I say this because I lived it and saw many similar cases. If your girl shows no signs of happiness or smiles after your third date... It's better to leave, soldier.)

"Arce-sama..."

Separating their lips, Haruhime's eyes became teary as she hugged him tightly. It had been more than seven days since this man entered her life, but now, seeing him, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded each time he touched her.

She knew what was happening; she knew it very well.

She had fallen in love with her client...

Although she knew this was a mistake, she couldn't help it.

"Haruhime... I really like you. Do you want to be my woman?"

But as she hugged Yuki, her body couldn't help but tremble upon hearing his words.

Since he entered floor 60, Yuki considered it sealed, while his group increased their parameters in the deeper floors.

This benefited them greatly, especially Kurumi and Inori, whose parameters skyrocketed. Kurumi even reached level 2. As Yuki predicted, her Zafkiel now used her falna as a catalyst.

Although her falna was weak, with time, it could become strong. Another thing that left him defenseless was Est's eccentricity regarding weapon use. Due to their contract, he was forbidden from using any sword other than her.

The last time he trained with Ais, he was forced to use a weapon. That girl learns very quickly. In eight short days, he was forced to stop fighting with his bare hands.

Thinking about this, Yuki took a kunai from his shadow, intending to face Ais.

But he encountered a problem—every time he wielded a weapon, his hand was attacked by spiritual electric pulses, making him unable to wield. Moreover, the weapons he tried to wield were destroyed.

At that moment, Yuki was very surprised, as this had never happened before.

Fortunately, Est materialized instantly when that happened.

"Master... I am your sword. Master is only allowed to wield me and only me."

As if marking her territory, Est refused to back down on this matter. She was his companion, shared his bed, and even lived inside his spiritual space.

As the most powerful Sword Spirit, using another sword was an offense to her. This included kunai.

Shrugging, Yuki had no choice but to use her. Fortunately, Est could change her form, so using the form of a dagger, Yuki faced a determined Ais.

"Ugh!"

*Splash

And now, Yuki was hitting his disciple again, but this time on a deeper floor.

They were currently on the Water Floor, floor 27, the home of the two-headed dragon monster Amphisbaena.

"Up! This isn't over yet."

Standing on the water, Yuki looked indifferent. Although he looked that way, he was a bit proud.

After all, Ais was also standing on the water.

"Yes..."

Breathing heavily, Ais stood up, continuing her attack.

*Clink

*Clink

With the sound of weapons clashing, Yuki analyzed her body. This girl underwent a complete transformation; now they could even fight on equal terms while she used her magic. She moved with great agility, attacking and defending fluently.

(She's a real monster.)

Thinking about her natural talent, Yuki sighed. Ais was like a sponge absorbing all his knowledge. Even now, when he taught her to walk on water using wind magic, she surprised him by learning it in a day. Although she fell into the lake multiple times and cried just as many, she could now walk on water using her wind magic as support.

After all, Yuki discovered that it was possible to use magic, sending rotating wind to the soles of her feet, theoretically allowing her to kick the air and even fly.

But this was not confirmed yet, as Ais could currently only walk on water.

Her training was bearing fruit; her fear of water seemed to have diminished significantly. However, she now had an incredible fear of training weights.

She even went so far as to throw a tantrum about using them. Yuki really didn't understand why both Inori and Ais were so afraid.

For him, the heavier the weights, the faster his speed would increase.

What Yuki didn't know was that the weights brought horrible pain to their calves. Ais and Inori, both wearing women's shoes with heels, found it unbearable.

That's why they strongly refused to use them. Unfortunately for Ais, she still couldn't escape her fate, as Yuki forced her to use them.

During these days, she also fought against something more than humans, summoning several Ice Lions to simulate battles against non-human opponents.

Perhaps due to this, she learned to walk on water quickly. After all, they chased her all over floor 27, forcing her to learn, or else her physical and mental wounds increased.

At the moment, Ais received more of the 'stick' than the 'carrot.'

*Clink

"Well... You're really getting it."

Clashing weapons, Yuki smiled; the progress was on the right track.

"But you still have a lot to learn!"

*Clink

Finishing his words, Yuki's dagger expanded, taking the form of a sword. He swung it down forcefully, delivering an incredible blow to Ais, who took the impact.

"Ugh!"

*Splash...

Losing her balance, Yuki seized this opportunity, extending his sword further and delivering another blow.

This time, with no chance to block, she was cut, and her magic faded as her body sank into the depths of the lake.

"Haaa~"

Shaking his head, Yuki waited for this girl to resurface. Although they had the same parameters, there was something she still couldn't use.

Something Ais couldn't wield.
