I wonder if this shirt and tie will disappear even after the transformation is complete; we’ll find out later.
After stuffing the information into my head, I finally noticed Yeon-hee, who awkwardly covered her chest with her arm, and laid down next to her.
“I definitely said… I was going to wash up… Everything got soaked… It must have… showed. You saw everything, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Huh?!”
Surprised by my smoother response, she covered her mouth and her eyes turned into those of a startled rabbit. She probably didn’t expect me to admit that I had seen her.
Swoosh—
Just like yesterday, I found myself lying facing her again today. Unlike yesterday, I wasn’t deathly embarrassed or stuttering in panic. I wondered if I was inherently weak against the opposite sex, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“Haah— haah—”
Yeon-hee seemed to be struggling to control her breathing, which had become rough after using her ability earlier. Even though she covered her mouth with her hand, her breath escaped and tickled my face.
“Aah…!”
I wrapped my left arm around her waist. She put up a momentary resistance but was pulled in as if she couldn’t fight it any longer. Now, I was close enough that I could easily press my lips to her forehead with just a nod.
A few strands of her hair tickled my nose. She was still covering her chest in an X shape, simply leaning into me and breathing. It was as if that was her sole purpose in life.
Yeon-hee was likely feeling the same emotions I had felt yesterday. The vibrations trembling through her body and the moisture in her eyes were telling me that.
I didn’t bother to place my legs over hers. Her body was too small and precious compared to mine, and I felt like I was far too large. Was I always this big? I had no idea.
*‘I don’t really know what to do now.’*
Maybe it was because I’ve spent so long without a brain. Sometimes, I find myself completely blank. I need to think of something.
I tried to recall vague memories. I felt like I might have had experiences like this in my previous life, but it was unsure. Selective memory loss had become a condition I had to get used to.
“Heh… Haah…”
Yet, even though I did nothing, she was showing various reactions by herself.
I gently lifted her trembling chin with my finger. As a result, her gaze rose without any resistance until it met my eyes.
“…”
“…”
We exchanged silent glances. Even so, time flew by in a flash.
I pulled her closer and held her tighter.
“Huh…! Aah…”
The distance between us made the texture of her ample breasts distinctly noticeable. Her body, damp from being soaked, had no time to dry before it became soaked in the humid air again.
“Ahh…!”
She let out a strange sound and hurriedly brought a hand to grab the blanket that was strewn beside us, pulling it over her lower body. Her face turned a deep shade of red. For a moment, she seemed ready to say something to me, but couldn’t find the words.
Did she think that covering herself would provide her with some psychological comfort, or was she embarrassed because her shorts revealed too much skin?
But given the deep valley resting on her chest, it didn’t seem to hold much meaning.
*‘This is strange. I think I understand why Yeon-hee acted like that yesterday.’*
I wanted to tease her. It was like returning to my childish elementary school days.
From the close distance, I decided to use my lower body.
There was no need to be overly cautious. Soon, my knee touched her thigh, and I carefully began to press the inside of her thigh without withdrawing my leg.
“Uh… Ah!”
She quickly tried to push my leg away with one hand. But—
*Squish— Squeeze—*
“Gah… Mgh… Ugh…”
I continued with the thigh massage, indifferent to her resistance. I slowly began to move my position upwards.
She kept glancing back and forth between my leg and my face. She didn’t know what to do. It seemed she was too shy even to ask me to stop.
“Aah… Ugh… No…”
Eventually, it looked like she decided to endure it. I expected it, but it was the most foolish choice. Yet, it was also what I wanted. I had fleetingly experienced Yeon-hee’s past life. She could be considered almost naïve regarding sexual matters.
She had just attempted to tease me yesterday but ended up in an unanticipated state of arousal. She probably didn’t even understand why she felt like that.
*‘What should I do to make Yeon-hee mine…’*
I had been thinking about this constantly recently. Given my appearance, I knew it would be absurdly difficult. I knew, yet I had to try.
Since some time ago, Yeon-hee had begun to depend on me for various things. It wasn’t intentional, but now I was trying to consciously make it so.
“Uh… Please stop… H-hik…!”
Yeon-hee pulled the blanket she had earlier up tightly over herself. She was stuffing the blanket between our legs and pulling it upwards.
I knew there was another intention behind her hastily covering herself, but of course, I pretended not to notice. Embarrassment and shame are different feelings.
Although there were two of us, it felt like we had become one, merely experiencing each other’s warmth. I felt gratitude that there was something warm circulating in my body. If I had been cold, I wouldn’t have dared to hold her like this. Maybe I should thank Tanya for that.
She seemed to have resigned herself to it a bit now after being in a moaning state for a while. Was she trying to succumb to the sensation of her thigh brushing against my leg?
*‘No way.’*
I couldn’t immediately give her what she desired. I had to leave her in suspense.
When I stopped what I was doing, she looked up at me as if confused, and even though our eyes met, she no longer avoided my gaze.
Soon, her gaze swept over my entire face. It didn’t take long for her eyes to travel from my eyes to my nose to my mouth, then down to my neck and chest before finally returning to my eyes.
I ran my fingers through her luscious hair and felt the softness. Strangely, touching her hair brought peace to my mind. I remembered reading an article that people obsessed with hair likely didn’t receive enough love as children.
*‘Even after becoming a skeleton, I still have an affection deficit…’*
Of course, just because such memories resurfaced didn’t mean I intended to stop touching her. As my fingers danced through the rich forest of her hair, my frayed mind oscillated between madness and calm, eventually settling into a tranquil lake.
Yeon-hee was my absolute sanctuary. Even though it hadn’t been long since we met, I felt certain it would continue to be this way in the future. So—
*‘Please stay with me…’*
With such feelings in mind, I couldn’t carelessly reveal my desires. How utterly lowly and selfish this feeling was.
If I were to push harder and act more aggressively with her, I could close the distance between us in an instant, but like a rapidly rising emotion, it would just as quickly crash down.
*‘Slowly… I need to make her unable to live without me…’*
Having been through that once yesterday, I understood that she wasn’t an easy target. Even so, my plans needed to continue unwaveringly. This was a necessary choice for me to exist as myself.
I wanted to avoid forever being trapped in a dark space. Initially, I thought I might find a way to escape on my own, but as time passed, I started to sense the truth. That space wasn’t just some flimsy spell or barrier disrupting perception.
*‘There’s no escaping it.’*
So my heart gradually swayed towards changing my course. Luckily, I acquired the useful skill “Transformation” and Yeon-hee pointed me in the direction I should head.
Carefully—
I pulled her back into my embrace again after briefly letting go of my hold. Just applying pressure to my thighs was enough to make her body heat up significantly.
“Ugh— Haah— Haah— Il-wol! You’re squeezing… just a bit more gently…”
*Squish—*
“Aah-! Stop! Ah, it hurts… It hurts… Huh… Let go.”
I could feel her struggling hard to endure as she bit her lower lip. After taking a moment to admire her expression, I only released my hold after she begged me.
A few days ago, on the day I first received the “Orc Competitor” achievement.
She felt a great sense of pleasure as her magical power surged momentarily. While she was gradually adjusting to the internal stimuli, she became increasingly sensitive to external stimuli.
As expected, her physical responses exceeded my expectations. Awakened Ones reportedly experience twice the sexual stimulation and pleasure compared to regular people. Given Yeon-hee’s extraordinary talent, she must have felt it even more intensely.
But she wouldn’t know that fact. Considering her relationships, she likely had no one to discuss such topics with.
So… I needed to make her believe away. That being with me would make her stronger, earn her lots of money, and that simply being together would endlessly elevate her mood. Sometimes, I might even hand over artifacts as if they just happened to fall into our hands, right?
“Ugh… Haah… Aah—!”
Her reactions were completely different from yesterday. There was no comparison between my original self and the one that mirrored me now. It was amusing to feel a sense of defeat against my past self, but it felt a bit bitter.
“Phew— Hah… Il-wol…”
“Yeah…”
She looked at me as if she couldn’t bear it anymore. I had just said a few minutes ago that this was wrong— who was that?
*‘You must become a body that can’t live without me.’*
As I watched her gaze slightly fog over, I pressed my lips against her forehead.
“…!!”
Her body jerked significantly. Her lips parted slightly, and she trembled like a quaking aspen. Droplets of watery saliva dripped from her open mouth, but she was completely oblivious to it.
Certainly, this must have been the most stimulating moment in her life. It was probably driving her crazy. It must feel ecstatic, almost like flying. If reaching paradise were like this, I wouldn’t know, having never been there.
Swoosh—
Her arms wrapped around my waist, cupping the solid muscles of my back. It was a physique that had once reached the rank of High-Rank Hunter. Even if she was a Guide, she didn’t neglect her physical training.
“Haah— Aah— Il-wol, why… why is this happening… H-huh!”
Typically, the start is like that. Just receiving a text from the person you like will set one on fire. Let alone now…
I was gradually growing certain. She would feel confusion as she looked at my skeleton form again, but right now, she didn’t even suspect that I was just a summoned creature.
Swoosh—
As I moved my hand from petting her hair down her body, I gently touched her ear.
Shiver—
“H-huh… Aah, what is this strange feeling… No…”
She began to tremble almost in ecstasy. She quickly pulled her hands away and covered her mouth. A tear rolled down from her eye.
*‘If her reactions were a bit lackluster, I was thinking we could go outside together, but I could save that for another time.’*
