Chapter 114: A Kiss

15 minutes ago.

In the chaos, Beiren was being led by Siloque through the queue.

Because he was using his Talent for monitoring from time to time while also chatting with Siloque, he noticed, under the staff’s reminder, that they had already reached the end of the Ferris Wheel Guild.

“If we’re here, at least they won’t follow us in.”

Siloque closed the cabin door and sat face-to-face with Beiren.

Bang, bang–

Fireworks rose into the already darkening sky.

It looked like he wouldn’t make it back for dinner.

Siloque sent a message to Mother Cohen, asking her to help freeze the food so he could bring it to School tomorrow.

When he asked if Hill had gone Home yet, the answer was that she had gone to a Friend’s House.

Ah… Hill is still chasing after them…

Siloque looked down and quickly spotted Hill’s signature light blonde hair as she looked around.

He wasn’t particularly worried about Hill.

At Lv15, she was already much stronger than ordinary people.

As long as the opponent wasn’t from the Evil Demon Society, with her Lv plus her Talent [Superhard Matter], even .46 caliber bullets would do nothing more than graze her skin.

Colorful fireworks sparkled in the night sky, and the laughter of people echoed from the amusement rides below.

“This is the first time I’ve come to an Amusement Park since I became an adult.”

Beiren simply stopped using her Talent and enjoyed the view from above.

“Hasn’t your family ever taken you?”

“They have. Twice with Friend and Mother and Father. Including this time, that’s three times in total… I don’t really like places with too many people. It’s noisy and very annoying.”

Beiren had a disgusted expression; she truly felt that way.

“So the reason you were hesitating at the entrance was because of the crowd.”

Beiren nodded, her arm propping herself against the window sill, her hand supporting her slightly tired-looking face.

“However, I quite like the Hot Spring Inn, especially the private hot spring pools. It’s very relaxing to go there with colleagues during holidays.”

Those two are completely different concepts.

Or is she hinting at something?

The cabin rose slowly, about to reach the highest point.

“The feeling of being in a crowd yet being far away from them is quite interesting.”

She looked down at the tide of people below.

The soundproofing inside the cabin was quite good.

Beiren’s gaze was like a tourist watching a school of fish in an aquarium.

However, Siloque’s attention was completely stolen by Beiren.

The colorful light from the fireworks, the atmosphere of the small space, and the fact that they could clearly hear each other’s breathing—with all these factors combined, Beiren looked even more charming than usual.

Every movement of hers was soul-stirring.

“Beiren.”

Hearing the call, Beiren turned toward Siloque.

“I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

The words came out naturally.

Just like his first confession, Siloque was neither arrogant nor impatient, looking directly at Beiren with earnest eyes.

Beiren’s face turned red at first.

Then, she held her forehead and let out a sigh.

The cabin swayed slightly as Beiren moved to sit right next to him.

Without warning, her hands reached toward Siloque, grabbing both sides of his face.

By the time Siloque noticed her leaning in, those long eyelashes were right before his eyes.

Their noses touched, and then, their lips did too.

Realizing he couldn’t even catch a breath, Beiren’s eyes widened slightly.

After a moment of hesitation, she met Siloque’s eyes.

They were eyes that seemed on the verge of tears, yet full of joy, hazy and hot.

Beiren slowly let go, her lips pouting slightly.

What flustered Siloque the most was Beiren’s shy, bowed-head appearance.

“Du~mmy. As for the answer, didn’t you know it already.”

Beiren’s cherry-pink lips made a dissatisfied sound as she averted her gaze.

“–“

Siloque was speechless.

Whether in his past life or this one, this was his first kiss.

Although Beiren’s lips were small, they were full and plush.

Her lips were slightly parted, as if seeking some kind of moisture.

“Beiren…”

“What?”

“Can we do it one more time? I was startled just now and didn’t get to taste it.”

“You… mgh!”

His body acted involuntarily.

Almost naturally—as if being drawn in—the two’s lips overlapped.

So soft.

And moist.

Emitting a faint taste of coffee.

As their tongues touched, Siloque’s strong rationality flew out of his mind.

A surge of heat rose from deep within his body, and Siloque pressed himself against Beiren.

Almost out of breath, they pulled away for a moment.

With flushed faces, they looked at each other.

Is she afraid?

But she didn’t run away.

Or rather, there were still 15 minutes before reaching the ground.

In this enclosed space, unless she jumped, she couldn’t leave.

Beiren reached her hands toward Siloque’s back.

She didn’t refuse, nor did she stop.

Once again, their lips overlapped.

This time it was more intense, both of them craving each other.

“Nn…”

For a brief moment, Beiren let out a cute sound, a voice he had never heard from her before.

He wanted to hear more.

“Wait, Siloque…”

Beiren’s eyes were dazed, yet her hands firmly gripped his shoulder blades.

She hadn’t lost her mind.

“Let’s… not do this yet. I think it’s a bit, too fast?…”

The words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Siloque’s head.

Rationality took the upper hand once again.

Siloque– stopped completely.

What am I doing.

Wanting to do erotic things right after the first kiss.

That’s way too fast!

We’re not some one-night stand fuck buddies!

Am I being poisoned by the invisible power of the Eroge World?

Most importantly, Beiren isn’t willing.

I must never force her.

If I just forced myself upon her like that, it would be too pathetic.

Becoming a beast controlled by my lower half—what would be the difference between me and those Yellow-haired Characters!

Siloque sat up straight and helped Beiren sit properly.

“Sorry, Beiren. I lost my head just now. In your words, I got carried away.”

Siloque covered his face with his hand in regret.

“It’s okay. Anyway, I’m… your girlfriend now. I just think doing that kind of thing is too fast.”

Beiren, whose entire face was hot, seemed to have a trace of reluctance in her eyes as she tidied her messy clothes.

While Siloque’s words and actions were rational, the beast in his heart was full of complaints.

To be honest, I want to keep going.

I want to so badly.

After all, I’m a healthy male!

Hearing those cute sweet moans lit a fire in my lower abdomen.

How can this be!

Eh? Didn’t you initiate it and push her down yourself?

Whose fault is it?

Shut up!

Siloque “killed” the beast of desire in his heart and looked down out of the window to calm down– he didn’t quite know why, but his eyes caught her in the crowd.

That girl wearing a hat who was moving with Hill.

The one who claimed to be a maid of the House of Cass at the entrance of the ladies’ room.

She was looking up.

It was too far to see her expression, but Siloque was certain she was looking at this cabin.

She hasn’t gone back yet either?

Siloque was about to use his Lv17 vision to take a closer look–

“Siloque…”

Hearing the faint voice, Siloque turned and found Beiren looking at him awkwardly.

Having almost crossed the line just now, sitting there doing nothing made the atmosphere very subtle.

In this situation, Siloque couldn’t think of anything to lighten the mood.

So, he chose to follow his heart.

He reached out his arm and pulled Beiren by the shoulder.

He wanted to touch the girl he liked.

Beiren didn’t say anything, leaning against Siloque’s shoulder.

“Siloque, starting from today, we are officially… more than just the relationship of Teacher and student.”

“Lovers plus Teacher and student, it’s quite exciting just thinking about it.”

“Exciting… don’t you get carried away. We can’t be this close at School.”

“I’ll try my best not to let Beiren lose her job.”

“At a time like this, it would be cooler to say you’d support me even if I lost my job.”

“I’ll support you even if you lose your job, Beiren.”

“Too late.”

Unlike her usual face-pinching, Beiren kissed Siloque’s cheek.

Does she become more proactive after starting to date?

Quite cute.

Siloque thought so, tightening his grip slightly.

“Hey… Siloque. Wait until I’m ready, then we’ll continue.”

!!!

Don’t say such teasing words at a time like this!

I almost couldn’t hold back again!

“Seriously, I really want to do it now.”

“Hehehe… there isn’t enough time now anyway. There are at most 10 minutes left before we reach the ground.”

At worst, we can just go for another round.

Siloque put up a stubborn resistance, but to care for her feelings, he could only respond with feigned frustration:

“Oh…”

Beiren chuckled softly; she was definitely doing it on purpose.

She grabbed Siloque’s clothes, her slender and slightly cool fingers stroking Siloque’s snowy white neck.

Every time the cabin swayed, the two would touch each other, and the sensation was extremely comfortable.
