Not again!? (Mildly R18+)

I opened my eyes as I groggily stared at the mess of burgundy hair covering part of my vision.

Pushing the few locks off my face, I turned my head a little, looking at the naked woman with a sexy figure sleeping peacefully, with her head on my shoulders.

Or at least, she pretended to be sleeping. Even though her breathing was normal and she didn't react to my moments, one look at her 'Status' told me that it was all a façade. Maybe she wanted to see what I'll do when after I woke up. She certainly was one to seek such amusements.

However, ignoring her act, I instead started thinking about other things.

After who knows how many hours of fucking, I did finally get some of my answers.

One of them being the identity of my kidnappers. They were, much to my surprised delight, not the cultists. Or at least they weren't according to her description. Still, they were apparently "bad people whom I shouldn't mingle with," according to her. Honestly, her description was too vague for my liking. She didn't seem to want to explain too much and would always change the subject when pushed.

What she did tell me was that most of them seemed to be small-timers. Tiers 1s and 2s. Except for one who seemed to be a rare space magic user, quite good at teleportation magic from what she could tell.

Another important bit was the time of events. It was currently the next day after my 'kidnapping'. My family must be really worried sick about me; I needed to go back…

[You don't plan on going back home right away, do you?]

'… No.'

Truth be told, even though I was keeping them worried, I had gotten a golden opportunity to step my foot outside and explore the world, and more importantly, try to level up.

It'd been 2 years since I got this leveling system, but I was yet to gain a single level. Now that I was free— would Sharon actually let me leave— I could go do that and become stronger.

Speaking of, I put my hands on the "sleeping" beauty's head and caressed her hair. They were messy but in a pleasing way.

"Hey, I know you're up."

"…"

"Get up."

"…zz."

'Fine, if you want to play, let's play.'

I gently pushed her head away from my shoulder and proceeded to sit on the bed.

Taking a long stretch to rid myself of the remaining drowsiness, I turned to look at the beauty "sleeping" beside me.

'She's hot, alright.'

Her naked body was sexy enough to make anyone hard. And to think I had had a lot of… rather fun sex with her.

'Who would've thought I'll have my first time like this…'

Smiling a bit, I leaned in to steal her lips, giving her a chaste kiss.

"If you don't wake up, I might have to use 'rough' methods to wake you up, you know?"

"…zzz…"

She was doing a mighty fine job at holding back an amusing smile right now.

I gave her plentiful tits a squeeze or two, rubbing her nipples.

"Hey, wake up. Seriously. I know you're acting. Get up, I need to leave."

She dropped her act, opening her eyes as she looked at me, slightly displeased.

"Who said you could leave?"

"You did."

"I don't—"

"When you were riding me for the second time in our 6th round. You said you'll 'let me go if I made you climax over 10 times.' I'm pretty sure you came a lot more than that."

I told her her own words from last night.

"Hmph, you're one to speak, darling. With the amount of seeds you've pumped in me without any restraint, it'll be a miracle if I didn't get pregnant. Fufu…will you take responsibility?"

'Oh… OH, SHIT! We didn't use protection!'

"Damn it. I didn't think about that…"

I grimaced.

She giggled seeing my distressed look and pulled me back down on the bed and climbed on top of me. Giving me a deep kiss, our tongues caressing each other for a short minute. She spoke after that.

"Don't you worry, darling. I'm not getting pregnant any time soon. You won't have to take responsibility… unless you've fallen for my charms and wish to bride me~?"

"Haah, you're the sexiest woman I've ever met (till date). And you're smoking hot (and pretty crazy)… but we're nothing more than strangers and last night was just a one-night stand if anything."

"Aww, it breaks my little heart that darling thinks so little of me."

'Ehh, maybe if we knew each other better and met under better circumstances. Not saying I wouldn't fuck her again if I got another chance. But I need more info on her.'

"So, will you at least tell me your name? That is if you don't want me to think of you as a stranger."

"Are you interested in me?"

"I mean... I did lose my virginity to you. So yeah, I'm at least interested in knowing the name of the woman I gave it to. Preferably more than that, but I'll settle with a name at the very least."

"My name is... Shasha. You can call me Shasha."

'A fake, huh? No, more like part of her first name. From Sharon to Shasha'

"Is that your real name?"

"People who know me call me that."

It was a rather vague and indirect answer. She didn't deny nor accept it. Instead playing with her words to get around it.

"No family name?"

"I'd rather not talk about that."

She seemed to have complicated feelings about that if her 'Status' was any indication. I decided not to probe further.

"I see... Okay. And what do you do?"

It was a personal question. I wasn't sure she would answer it. Or answer it correctly, at the very least.

"You sure are interested in my background, darling."

"Yeah, I guess I am. I have no ill intentions though. I'm just curious. That's all."

"Heh, I'll be very disappointed if you had any. But I can see it on your handsome face, you're being honest."

I was. All things considered, I didn't have any major qualms against her. Well, sure, she did force me into fucking her, but it was surprisingly fun for me too. It wasn't too bad to lose my virginity to such a sexy woman. I had fun "fighting" her on the bed and having a new learning experience.

"If you must know, I'm an adventurer. You know what an Adventurer is, right?"

She brought out an ID card from her storage space, confirming her claims. It seemed like your usual ID card for Adventurers that I had read about in the books and seen in the game. Her name was Shasha and her rank was A. The second best. Quite a feat for someone so young, but she was a Tier 5, so she wasn't by any means a 'nobody'.

Speaking of ranks, the adventurer ranks were your usual letter ranks. From G all the way to A and then the special rank S, reserved for the crème de la crème.

"I know. Freelancers affiliated with the Adventurer's Guild who do odd jobs or chores and earn money per Job (Quest)."

"That's pretty accurate, yes. Though a lot of us are either mercenaries or dungeon explorers, we're banded together and are called 'Adventurers'. Fancy name, for a rough and gory job. Certainly, not for the faint of hearts… Or the weak."

There were 3 major types of adventurers: Mercenaries, who mainly took bodyguard duties and were swords and shields for hire (through the guild). Dungeon Explorers who— well, the name says it all. And the ones who did anything as long as it paid, the outliers.

"Hmm, got it... So, you a local?"

"My, you're a curious one, aren't you? Unfortunately for you, I'm not a local. I was here on a quest when I accidentally stumbled upon you and those vile brutes."

'Why is that unfortunate for me?'

I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Because…~ that means I don't reside here and we can't have more such accidental encounters. My hometown is a city or two away. Castera, if you've heard of it."

'Some might say it's actually a good thing that I wouldn't get "saved" by a woman like her. Though, some might also say otherwise.'

It didn't matter to me much though.

"... I haven't heard of it. I'm… not very knowledgeable about the more local regions."

She sighed, but didn't feel offended by my geographical ignorance.

"Pity... but then again it's not the popular main city of an upper noble, or anything of importance, really. Just a random local town in the Empire. So, it's understandable."

"So, you—"

She placed a finger in on my lips, stopping me from further inquiry.

"Now, now~ It's unfair that you're the only one getting to ask questions... I'm curious too, you know~"

That made me a little apprehensive, but I decided to play along for now.

"... Fine, ask away."

"So~ How did the only son of the Marquis, such an important noble, get kidnapped? Weren't you with your fancy knights? Nobles usually don't go out alone. Were you being a naughty boy and escaping your guards~? That's no good, you know~"

'So she definitely knew my identity and still didn't stop? I must say, she's got guts.'

Not everyone dared to capture and fuck a young noble. Especially not one from upper nobility, if they knew what was best for them. I had long realized it, but this woman was much more than she let out.

I released a deep sigh as I pushed her hands away from my lips. She had started caressing them, and now trying to playfully put her finger inside my mouth.

"... I wasn't alone. I was with my assigned guards and a maid, when… the explosions happened…"

'Speaking of, I wonder if Sera is alright.'

"You said I was the only one they had with me, correct?"

"Hmm~? Yes. They only had you with them."

'Then she's safe and probably back in the Mansion. At least I hope so.'

The maid wasn't really that close to me, but she was a nice and cute young woman. It would suck if she got involved in this mess too.

"There was a serial bombing at the festival. Do you know anything about it?"

Her eyes furrowed as she momentarily looked away.

I had my eyes glued to her Observe page, in case my worst fears came true. I at least knew she didn't mean me any real harm… for now… and she also wasn't a cultist. She didn't have similarities to that other guy who had things like 'Enamoured' and 'Tainted' on his Observe page. Also, I had sort of explored every nook and cranny of her body last night. I didn't find the signature tattoo the cultists had in the game.

Though, the troublesome part was that it was possible for the higher-ups in the cult to temporarily hide it, so one could never be too sure.

As far as her Status went, she was normal. She did seem rather annoyed and angry after hearing me talk about it. But her remark told me it was directed towards the bombers.

"Yes. It was quite sudden and… unexpected. I heard the noises from afar when they went off."

"Did you hear something about it? As in, who were the culprits? Or if they were caught? Those kidnappers. Were they the ones responsible? What happened to them after you dealt with them?"

"I didn't. I was pretty far away from the main roads where it happened. The kidnappers didn't have any explosives on them, as far as I could tell. So, I'm not sure if they were behind it. As for what happened with them, I just left them unconscious on the spot as I scurried off with a handsome boy… to heal him and have some quality time with him."

'She sure is trying to make it sound less bad than it was when I first woke up.'

I hadn't forgotten about her crazed acts and the dagger's cut. Even if we were fine for now, I couldn't fully trust her, or her words.

"I see..."

Giving an ambiguous reply, I went back to pondering. Only to be distracted when she spoke soon after.

"Alright, that's enough talking. Let's have a little more fun before you start talking about unimportant things again. Your thing here has been hard for a while now, you know~"

I looked down to see that my Shield Hero down there had risen and was saluting the naked beauty present with me on the bed. (A/N: Am I allowed to make such anime references without any possible legal trouble coming my way in the future?)

'Are you kidding me?! Seriously, just how high is my libido!?'

She didn't waste much time straddling on top of me, riding my pelvis, and then massaging her slit on my member.

This woman had some serious libido herself.

Lifting her hips, she adjusted my thing on her opening, and in a single push, my entire length was inside her.

"Ohh... Mmnn! Yes. This is what I'm talking about. I can never have enough of this."

'So fucking tight!'

I groaned.

One would think after getting plowed silly last night, the tightness would be gone or reduced. But that wasn't the case. Was this also Eroge logic? Where was Iris when I needed her to answer such important scientific and philosophical questions?

"Fufu, do you like it, darling~? I'll wring you dry once again. Last night I was a bit too tired to continue, but now I feel rejuvenated. We can go for a few dozen rounds."

Not long after she said that we were both indulging in each other's bodies once again.

In the end, I spent a fair few hours in the morning trying to tire her out again and also enjoying her gorgeous and hot body.

***

A/N: Big news! I just got an offer to get contracted! Woo! I thought it'll make months for that! Wasn't even sure I'll actually get one with such a subpar and unoriginal story. (I may have unnecessarily high standards for it.) Anyway, I'll check it out and sign it in due time. But don't you guys worry, the chapters will be free to read for a fair while. Like I said, I plan to make it premium AFTER volume 1 is finished, which still has a fair few dozen or two chapters if the adventure arc takes too long. (Unless I get impatient and change my mind, of course. I AM pretty greedy from what I have noticed recently.)
