Fucking hell, finally. This quest had me crawling through vents, sprinting across rooftops, chasing a guy through traffic like some underpaid stunt actor. But the rewards made every bruise worth it. Buying the Main Quest from the Shop turned out to be the best investment Iโd made.
If my calculations were right, I was sitting on 2800 credits. Filthy rich. I could reset Pleasure, raise the cap to thirty, and go wild. But not now. Not when Nala still looked like she was holding the whole damn company on her shoulders.
"Nala," I said quietly.
I stood, walked up behind her, and slid my arms around her waist. She let out a small, tired breath the moment my hands touched her. When I kissed her neck, she tilted her head slightly, her hair brushing against my cheek. She leaned back, resting her weight against me like sheโd been fighting gravity all day.
"So... this is over," she said, her voice soft, almost unreadable.
I rested my chin on top of her head, watching snow drift down the glass like falling ash. "Yeah. Finally."
She squeezed my forearm gently, almost absentmindedly, the gesture warm and grounding. "Thank you, Evan," she murmured, turning her head just enough to kiss the back of my hand. "I wouldnโt have gotten through this without you."

I smiled, lowering my hands to her hips and pulling her a little closer. "Hey. I wouldnโt be here without you either. So Iโd say weโre even."
She let out a quiet laugh, the kind she only did when she was finally letting tension bleed out of her. "By the way, I knew sextuple was a thing."
"Oh, so youโre not some uneducated CEO?" I teased, nudging her gently with my chin.
She grinned. "Yeppers."

We stood there for a moment, just watching the snowfall blur into white streaks. She leaned her head back against my shoulder again, and I felt something warm spread through my chest. Hitting the milestone with her felt different. Not just like I unlocked a reward. It felt like she finally trusted me with something... dunno, precious.
I wasnโt just some guy drifting through life anymore.

Not bad. Couldโve used some EXP too, but with 3550 credits total, I wasnโt exactly hurting.
"Letโs head home," Nala said.
She turned around fully, sliding her arms around my torso this time and holding me close, almost burying her forehead into my collarbone. I wrapped her up, her body warm against mine. I could feel her relax, really relax, for the first time today.
"Sure," I said, brushing my hand along her back as she stepped away.
"Phew..." She walked toward her desk, heels clicking lightly.
"No surprises are waiting for me, right?" I asked with a smirk.
"You never know," she said, giving me a slow, tired smile over her shoulder before grabbing her coat.
This woman... fuck. I was the luckiest man alive.

Nice. I was apparently in the Big-Hearted reputation rank now. And with that came a perk I could absolutely get behind. For every intimate encounter, Iโd get a Mystery Chest. Sign me the hell up.
I sat on the bed, pushing a pillow upright so I could lean back against it, sinking into the soft cushion. The UI hovered in front of me like some floating hologram tablet. I flicked the reputation screen away, fingers moving through the glowing menus, and opened the Shop again. 3550 credits to my name. Time to burn through them before I second-guessed everything.
I didnโt even let myself think. I bought ten Ability Points in one go and slammed the UI closed with a swipe.
"Now," I muttered under my breath, stretching my legs out across the bed. "Letโs see..."
Four points already. Ten more purchased. Fourteen total. And with my Pleasure sitting at twenty before the reset, Iโd get ten refunded when dropping it back to one. Ten refunded, ten repurchased, plus the fourteen I hadโeasy math. I pulled up the stat window.

Good. Twenty-five points dumped into Pleasure. Felt nice seeing those numbers go up. Next goal? Libido. If I wanted the stamina to actually keep up with... well, everyone, I needed that shit higher. That night with Kayla and the others proved it. I hit the wall because Libido was too low, not because I was satisfied.
And there it was: another skill tree under Pleasure. Not locked this time. Bliss Multiplier. I tapped it.

Holy shit. Credits based on sex-earned EXP? That was basically passive income from orgasms. I bought one Mastery Point without hesitating and dropped it straight into Bliss Multiplier.

"Minne!" I called. "Can you come here for a second?"
A few seconds later, the master bedroom door cracked open after a polite knock. Minne peeked in first before stepping inside, hands folded neatly in front of her apron, cheeks already slightly pink.
"Yes, Master?" she said, closing the door quietly behind her. She stepped closer with small, light steps, looking up at me with that shy smile that could melt metal.
"May I borrow some of your time, Minne?" I asked, giving her a soft grin.
"O-of course, Master! Always." She nodded quickly, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her apron.
"This isnโt something you have to do," I said gently, getting up. "You can always say no."
She shook her head instantly. "If Master wants it, Iโm always ready," she murmured, her voice tiny but sincere.
And thatโshit. That didnโt sit right. The way she said it made something uncomfortable twist in my chest. It felt like she thought she owed me something. Like I was pressuring her even though I wasnโt trying to. I rubbed the back of my neck, looked at her soft expression, then stood up.
No. I wasnโt going to treat her like a guinea pig for a new skill.
I stepped close and rested my hand gently on her shoulder. "How about we go outside?" I asked. "Buy you some new clothes?"
She blinked, surprised. Her hands froze mid-fidget, and she looked down with a shy flush. "Oh... I wouldnโt want to steal your time, Master."
"Come on," I laughed, nudging her shoulder lightly. "Itโll be fun. And weโll take the others too. Group shopping."
"Iโm... do you really think Iโm worth that kind of treatment, Master?" she whispered, tilting her head down while her eyes flicked up at me, nervous and hopeful.
I cupped her cheeks with both hands and leaned in until our foreheads nearly touched. She stiffened in surprise, then slowly relaxed into my hands. I kissed her forehead softly.
"Youโre worth more than you know, Minne," I said with a small smile, releasing her gently as I stepped toward the door. "Go change out of your maid outfit. Weโre heading out."
Nalaโs voice reached us from the dining table. "Outside?"
"Yep," I called back. "Girls, come on. Enough work. Weโre going out. Shopping. Fun. All that good stuff."
"Shopping, yes!" Jasmine shouted from the bathroom, her voice echoing slightly. I heard a hair dryer click off. "Thereโs that dress I wanted to try on. Pretty sure itโs on discount now!"
"Well, then." I clapped my hands once, grinning as Minne walked into the living room with a bounce in her step. "Everybody get ready. Weโre about to become the slaves of capitalism for a few hours."
A knock came at the door. Not loud, but sharp enough to cut through the chatter inside. I walked over, rubbing my palm against my thigh as I leaned toward the peephole.
What the hell?
