The lips of the two met simultaneously.
Without needing to decide who went first, guided by the intuition that the time was now.
Ian and Rin tilted their heads toward each other at the same time and overlapped their lips.
The sensation of soft lips meeting each other.
As their lips, having approached somewhat boldly, met, they left behind a sensation as hot as fire.
Phew....
Trying to calm the pounding of her heart, which felt like it might explode, Rin let out a breath without thinking.
The unintended sigh leaked out and tickled each otherâs faces.
Their lips, which had touched lightly, pulled apart, then immediately met again.
As their lips clung together and pulled apart several times.
Light kisses were exchanged.
A few minutes passed as a passive kiss, almost like testing each otherâs feelings, continued briefly...
And then, slightly.
As Ian pushed his lips firmly against hers,
The tip of his tongue, reaching out from between his lips, brushed against Rinâs lips as if knocking.
Feeling the sensation of the tip of his tongue touching her lips.
Rin hesitated for a moment, then cautiously opened her mouth and accepted it.
His tongue reached into her slightly parted mouth like a snake.
A hot and soft sensation invaded Rinâs mouth.
Ianâs tongue entwined with Rinâs hesitating, wandering tongue as if embracing it.
"Mmph... haa."
An intense kiss followed, making her feel as if she were running out of breath.
Breath filled with burning heat mingled together, and their tongues entwined, ravaging every corner of her mouth.
Rinâs heavy breathing leaked out.
It would be a lie to say she had never imagined doing something like this...
But even so, she never imagined it would be to this extent.
An intense and chilling emotion, far beyond anything her imagination had reached, swept through Rinâs mind in a blur.
And so, their first kiss with Ian continued for a long time.
Rinâs breathing grew increasingly ragged, and she became dazed to the point of lightheadedness.
To the point where she thought she might actually suffocate and die.
However, when Ianâs lips were about to pull away, Rin tightened her grip on his hand with a sound that seemed full of regret.
"Just... a little... more..."
Rin let out those words instinctively, her voice filled with longing.
Ian pulled his lips away, but Rinâs lips immediately chased after him, overlapping once again.
This time, Rinâs tongue reached into Ianâs mouth.
The sensation of her soft tongue flowed into Ianâs mouth.
That sensation, mixed with burning heat, entwined inside his mouth like pleasure.
Leaning against Ian, Rin continued to crave that unknown pleasure she was feeling for the first time, moving her tongue as her instincts dictated.
Just how much time had passed like that?
As Rinâs body was pushed back by Ianâs touch, the exhausted Rin collapsed weakly onto the bed.
Their lips finally separated, and Rin was breathing heavily on the bed.
It was just a small action of sitting still and moving their lips.
But Rinâs heart was racing as if she had just finished a full-speed sprint.
Even when fighting monsters, she had never been this exhausted...
Her breath was short, and her heart throbbed as if it would burst.
Ianâs body overlapped on top of Rin as she lay on the bed.
Ianâs hand, pressing down on Rin, slowly reached downward...
Ianâs hand went inside Rinâs disheveled clothes.
It was the first time another personâs touch had reached such a place.
A startled Rin recoiled with a flustered expression, but... she did not push Ian away.
Ianâs fingers slowly stroked her skin, moving toward Rinâs sensitive areas.
"Hic, eeut...!"
Rin felt a strange pleasure, completely different from when she touched herself, blossoming within her as she trembled.
Every time the tips of Ianâs fingers touched her, Rinâs body shook with a flinch, and an uncontrollable groan leaked out.
A single drop of clear fluid flowed out, soaking Ianâs fingers and dripping downward.
"Haa..."
Rin trembled and let out soft whimpers every time the tip of Ianâs finger passed over her sensitive spot.
At the same time, a strange question arose within Rin.
It felt... good.
It felt much better than when she did it alone.
But Rin felt her body instinctively craving something more.
Like trying to quench thirst with seawater.
While experiencing the most pleasant sensation she had ever felt in her life...
As if saying this wasnât what was needed, her thirst for something else grew larger and larger.
"Rin."
Ianâs voice...
Rin sensed what was about to happen and quietly nodded her head.
Inside the dark room.
Amidst the shadows flickering in the lantern light, Ianâs member was faintly visible.
Rin felt as if the sensation of that thing she had touched before was coming back vividly.
Now, that thing would be coming inside.
Rinâs body stiffened with tension.
"Ugh, nngh...!"
Into Rinâs interior, Ianâs member slowly pushed in.
Slowly prying open the gap stiffened with tension, as Ianâs member invaded deeper and deeper...
At that unfamiliar feeling, Rin groaned, twisting her body with a flinch.
Ian reached out a hand and held Rinâs hand, and another suffocating kiss followed as their lips met.
While Rinâs attention was momentarily diverted, Ianâs member advanced a bit deeper into Rin before she knew it.
Soon, it reached the very depths.
Contrary to what she had imagined,
All Rin could feel was a stinging pain, but...
The desire that had welled up from deep within Rin erupted into a massive sense of fulfillment, as if satisfied.
Rin squeezed Ianâs hand tightly.
As if trying to reassure Rin, Ian also squeezed Rinâs hand firmly.
Slowly, Ianâs hips began to move.
Every time Ianâs cock plunged into the deepest part of Rin, her nervously tensed inner walls clenched tightly around him, embracing his shaft with burning heat.
It slid out from the narrow, clinging slit as if reluctant to let go, only to thrust back in deeply, stirring and stimulating her most sensitive depths.
The small, broken whimpers escaping from Rin scattered helplessly between their intertwined tongues behind their sealed lips.
Kissing. Embracing. Whispering each otherâs names.
Whenever Rin groaned while twisting her body occasionally, Ian stroked her hair.
By the time her memory grew hazy to the point where she didnât know how many times they had repeated this...
Rin felt Ianâs grip on her hand tighten, and she sensed the end was approaching.
As her breath quickened, Rinâs heart also beat faster and faster.
And then, just when Rin sensed it was the end.
Ianâs member pulled out of Rin.
Thick white semen spurted onto Rinâs stomach.
Rin felt the hot sensation slowly flowing down her skin.
"Haa.... Haa."
Exhausted, Rin buried herself in the bed and slumped weakly.
Her sense of time seemed completely broken, to the point where she couldnât tell how much time had passed.
Her reason was faint, as if everything that happened just now was a dream.
Only fragments of intense and shocking emotions remained in her memory, making it hard to properly recall what had happened.
The faintly remaining pain and the white, dripping traces told her that what happened just now was not a dream, but reality.
Feeling a hand stroking her hair, Rin opened her eyes, lifted her head, and softly overlapped her lips with Ian, who had approached her.
***
"Nngh, Captain..."
Ian gently stroked the hair of Rin, who was sleeping beside him.
I wonder what kind of dream sheâs having...
As Ianâs hand stroked her hair, Rin let out a snickering laugh and rubbed her cheek against Ianâs hand.
Ian stared blankly at the sleeping Rinâs face for a long time.
After Rin had confessed the worries she had been harboring, many thoughts came to Ianâs mind as well.
"...If she puts it like this, I canât just ignore it either."
As is the case with most people who delve deep into a game like this, Ian basically preferred researching ways to achieve maximum efficiency and finding hidden secrets, but.
At the same time, he couldnât easily overlook these emotional elements.
Because he couldnât easily fire mercenaries who were no longer needed, he would keep them as reserve party members indefinitely.
Things like gifts given by characters were items that werenât actually needed anywhere, but because it weighed on his mind to discard them, he would organize them all in his storage.
Perhaps thatâs why he ended up playing this game for so long.
If he only pursued unconditional optimal play, it would have been too simple and one-sided.
It would have been a game of nothing but valueless repetition.
Ian covered the sleeping Rin with a blanket and quietly opened his Potential window.
Since Rin had shown such a will to stay with him until the end.
Ian also needed to help Rin grow as much as possible.
At the very least, after receiving such feelings, he couldnât just stay still without providing any help.
Actually, these were points he intended to spend on [Strategic Thinking], but...
If Rin is showing this much motivation, she will surely perform better than the 3 points spent here.
...Somehow, it felt like every time he gathered points, he never ended up investing them where he originally wanted.
In any case, Ian moved his fingers a few more times and added a new trait for Rin.
