Chapter 90: Vol. 4 – Episode 3

Huhu. The time is… Now!

A strange sound came from Ereka, who had just thrown her body at Sungjin to steal the ball.

Riiip.

And according to the sound, her clothes had melted off her body.

The white pieces of clothes fluttered in the wind, and her white skin was revealed completely.

Sungjin froze.

Despite his chance to move away, he froze.

At the same time, Ereka helplessly collided into Sungjin’s arms.

Under the burning sun, a pure white beauty was revealed completely.

“Kyah!”

Ereka panicked a beat later and hurriedly hid her chest. On top of that, she gathered her knees in order to sink lower. It was a hurried attempt in covering up as much as she could.

But that made the sight more erotic. If she had been blatantly confident, he would have felt that she was a healthy figure made from great nature’s primitive ages. But her embarrassed and defenceless sight was like a fawn served on a platter for the lion.

“Kuk!”

Sungjin couldn’t respond, frozen in his place.

A weak beautiful lady who was extremely susceptible to his advances was rooted to her spot.

In her own embarrassment she didn’t dare to defend herself and remained crouched.

An unintended attack while his defences were down.

She gathered his attention because of her attempts to cover herself.

The sight was much too lovely to ignore.

Eustasia, who had been watching the entire scene beside him, silently praised the sneaky move.

As expected of her, to reveal everything in an unforeseen situation. It is an amazing strategy that will shake his stubborn mind.

And to think that she would put on a face of unexpectedness at her own reveal.

Fine, then, I’ll help.

Eustasia drew up a figure of a sword within her mind.

Except, this was not a sword to cut down enemies.

It was a sword which could cut meager things like paper.

And that sword sliced off the strings of Eustasia’s bikini, which were barely holding on.

Just like how she had imagined it in her mind.

With the sound of rustling clothes, Eustasia’s simming suit fell off her body.

And her flawless skin was revealed like the nakedness of primitives.

“Oh my, did I tighten the strings too much?”

After claiming the entire scene as an accident, she turned her body away.

From Sungjin’s point of view, he could only see the side of her body. But that view was more enticing, causing him to automatically dream up the image of what her front view would be.

This is… Dangerous.

Sungjin pressed down his instinctive question for Eustasia to turn around and averted his eyes.

“Ahaha… This is awkward. I’ll do a lap around that rock over there, so organize yourselves.”

Sungjin first decided to remove himself from the situation.

It was a strategic retreat. If he remained any longer, he didn’t know what he would do. He turned into a beast when enticed.

He immediately threw himself into the ocean.

Ereka’s face crumpled as she looked at Sungjin’s figure disappearing among the waves. “What should I do? Now Sungjin will think I’m not modest enough.”

“Definitely not. I think for our first attempt this was a success.” Eustasia smiled a knowing smile.

Sungjin had turned away immediately, but she had seen that he was shaken by the display.

“Huhu. He is not an impregnable fortress, I see. Well, I have achieved my greatest accomplishment of my lifetime this holiday.”

After the happening, Sungjin maintained an adequate distance.

The girls complained about the modest game of sandcastles, wishing for a more interactive game, but he ignored them.

If he was incited any further than this he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold back.

The girls felt his defensive atmosphere and realised they couldn’t go any further that day. They helplessly went along.

Night came.

Sungjin lay down on his bed.

Still, it was quite fun today.

The sandcastle they had built together was impressive. Under Ereka’s orders, dinner was delicious, and the fireworks that had come after were equally as grand.

There was a line they hadn’t dare cross, but it was still fun.

Games are fun, but a vacation has its own charms.

Perhaps it was because he had never taken a family vacation after his father had passed away and his mother started working. There was something new about taking a vacation with several people.

And on top of that, the ball game had been…

Sungjin’s brain immediately drew up that moment’s scenery.

It was especially beautiful.

The bodies that shook vibrantly under the sun were like pieces of art.

Sungjin bolted from his bed.

It seems that I am too excited this evening.

Or perhaps the food this evening was too good for the body.

Or perhaps it was because the girls were right next door.

Sungjin gave up sleeping and went out to the balcony.

The stars filled the night sky.

It was a clear sky that was impossible to see on earth, especially the cities.

It’s beautiful.

Sungjin stood appreciating the night sky.

“Are you also unable to sleep?” someone asked beside him. When Sungjin turned around, Ereka was standing there.

“Oh, you’re awake?”

“Yes. I’m here to view the night sky.”

“Let’s do it together.”

They decided to enjoy the coincidence and gathered in the balcony.

“What were you thinking about?”

“I was thinking about how nice it was to take a vacation all together.”

“That’s nice. It seems I’m not the only one.” Ereka smiled calmly.

“Although it would be nice to have this kind of opportunity again… we’ll be busy soon, won’t we?”

“It’s unavoidable. I’d prefer some time to prepare, but Kapitle won’t wait.”

The war wasn’t over.

He had attained Rupellion, but his largest foe, Eldorado and the Golden Wise King, still remained.

And since the three-way balance was gone, the power fight between two nations was inevitable.

Who would gain the central power of the continent?

It was a competition of ambitions between two men.

“But let’s return when there’s an opportunity. Everyone seemed to enjoy this. Ah, of course myself, too.”

“Yes, we should.”

Ereka smiled brightly and stared at Sungjin’s shoulder.

After gathering her breath several times, she leaned her head on Sungjin’s shoulder.

Hm?

Sungjin panicked briefly but didn’t show it and tilted his shoulder slightly so that she could be more comfortable.

Phew.

Ereka was silently relieved.

Looking at the two with narrowed eyes, Jenna waved her tail under the blanket.

Uhuhu. Nice.

The day had been Eustasia’s time, but the night was Ereka’s.

I prepared, because I thought oppa might not be able to sleep.

She had sent the other two into deep sleep for just that moment.

Looking at the empty bottle, she smiled, satisfied.

Then, Your Majesty, please spend a good time.

Jenna burrowed under the blanket.

Ereka looked at the stars while leaning her body against Sungjin’s shoulder.

Even the same constellations looked different depending on who she was with.

Right now, with Sungjin, the stars looked more brilliant.

Ahh, I’m so happy.

She would be satisfied remaining in that position throughout the whole night.

Would Sungjin know her racing heart?

Did he know her infinite happiness at simply leaning her shoulder against his body?

Was it because of the moonlight?

Or the starlight?

Or was it the whispering night?

Ereka decided to work up her courage.

But I should ease him into the conversation.

She started with normal conversation.

“I have heard that the Golden Wise King ruthlessly exploits his people for his own greed. I’ve heard that there were many who died of starvation, and several died in labor working in the mines.”

“Yes, I’ve read the report.”

The Golden Wise King Kapitle: he was a smart king.

He didn’t torture his people without reason.

He didn’t make his people suffer due to religion or suspicion.

But he exploited them and treated them like objects, causing continuous death.

Like how the wastewater was left to rot on earth, and the workers were left vulnerable because of the company’s disregard times ten.

That had been Sungjin’s thought while reading the report.

“If Sungjin wins, the people in that country will have easier lives.”

“I will.”

Ereka smiled at Sungjin’s promise.

And I’m sure there will be another woman who will vie for Sungjin in that country too, I suppose?

Her smile was forlorn and clean and warm.

It’s hopeless. The person I love isn’t someone who can be satisfied with a single country, after all.

It was obvious he would gain as much affection there.

But I have already decided to love him.

So she would not be disappointed or sad about such things.

Instead, she would maintain his inner court so that he could achieve anything he wanted.

How could the sun shine on one flower?

“Sungjin.”

“Hm?”

“You’ve said something before about raising your level that the goddess had told you.”

“Hm? Ah, well…. Yes.”

Sungjin, unlike himself, gave a vague confirmation. The clue that the goddess had given him was not certain.

But she had said this:

When you establish a deeper relationship with the girls of their individual power in this world, their powers will also be shared with you.

A deep relationship.

Did that mean that, or something else? It was a clue that was open to interpretation, but it was an embarrassing subject to bring up.

“Now that we are against the Golden Wise King, we need more than simple preparations. So…would you test that clue with me?”

Test.

Having said her piece, Ereka’s cheeks turned red.

I finally said it.

She had said it as if to go along with the atmosphere, but it was a bold statement.

Kyah, what should I do?

How would Sungjin react?

Sungjin’s heart skipped a beat.

Ereka had implied it, but he knew what she was referring to.

A certain invitation stemming from the right atmosphere.

As soon as he thought of that, his body became excited and his blood raced.

His head was already providing images.

“E… Ereka? That’s…. It’s not certain….”

Even in the midst of his excitement, Sungjin attempted to worm his way out.

“Even if… we are interpreting it incorrectly, I’m okay if it’s Sungjin. I wish to see the world you create, too.”

She could do it in confirmation. Ereka closed her eyes gently.

At the sign that he was given permission to kiss her, or do something more, Sungjin’s heart started to thud more heavily.

Below the starry night sky.

A girl giving him a permissive smile.

He couldn’t deny that it was lovely.

With her illustrious hair and golden body, with her willing heart to do anything for him, she was beautiful in appearance and heart.

The lion suddenly hugged the young fawn.

Ereka’s body trembled minutely.

Fi… finally…?

She had always imagined it, but experiencing it in reality was a different matter.

Sungjin’s breath tickled against her neck.

She could feel that he was also excited by his breathing.

Her cheeks turned red as her heartbeat raced.

“Thank you, Ereka.”

Sungjin whispered. “I’m happy too.”

Ereka replied in her mind. Her voice was not working.

“But I think it’s wrong to experiment with this. Even if it’s for a greater fight, I want to protect this for a true love.”

“I… I’m okay with it.”

“I know. But this is something I want to protect as a man.”

Not to use her beautiful heart as a way to achieve his victory but to protect it using his power.

That was the kind of fight he wished to do.

“Sungjin.”

“For the people and the greater purpose. It’s a beautiful thought, but let’s leave that for love.”

“Ok.”

Sungjin let her go.

“I’m tired now. I’m retiring.”

“Yes. Good night.”

Sungjin closed his door, returning to his room. Ereka looked up at the stars and sighed gently.

It wasn’t… something I said with the intention of sacrificing myself.

She had been expectant even if she was scared and shy.

But it’s all right.

Counting stars against his shoulder was a precious memory. She was going to keep it in her heart forever and smile, perhaps, everytime she recalled the moment.

Besides, even if they hadn’t gotten too far, Sungjin had hugged her.

Sungjin’s embrace was large and warm.

Ereka rubbed her hands.

But I’m still disappointed. It would have been a better night if we had kissed.

Perhaps a later day. She turned to her room in both disappointment and happiness.
