Chapter 36- A Sleepy Time*

(A//N: *: means the chapter has mild lewdness. Nothing big.

**: More lewdness. This may include kissing, touching, and other things.

***: Full intercourse. Everything is included from above)

"U-Ugh…. W-What…" Rin's eyes opened slightly as he was assaulted by a strong headache that made him groan quietly. His groggy mind was still not working properly so he had to take a few seconds to register what was happening around him.

His senses tried to recognize the place he was in while also trying to recall what happened.

'I was… in the dungeon? And then, I… wait, I killed that demon!! Did I die?! Or…' All kinds of chaotic thoughts came and went quickly.

"Mmm…"

However, a small moan woke him up from his daze as he finally noticed something weird. There was a weird, soft and warm thing resting on his body. He was completely covered so he wasn't able to see who or what this was.

Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, he slowly pulled up the covers to check. Much to his shock, a few strands of red hair appeared in his vision along with an incredibly beautiful face sleeping peacefully. He quickly recognized that person as Aria.

'What is she doing on my bed?' He asked with a complicated gaze.

But, as much as he was curious, seeing her sleeping so calmly made him hesitate on whether he should wake her up or not. Besides, he could clearly see that the corners of her eyes were red and swollen.

'Was she… crying?' He wondered.

Shifting his gaze to his surroundings, surely enough, he was back in his room. He didn't know how he returned to his room but that wasn't the problem now.

"Mmm…" Aria moaned softly again as she extended her hands and wrapped them around Rin's neck before approaching his face.

Rin tried to wiggle out of her embrace but her grip was really strong on him which rendered him paralyzed. Then, when she was close enough, she started rubbing her face against his cheek gently. A satisfied smile bloomed on her face as she sensed the warmth of her beloved filling her senses. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

'This is definitely not the most optimal situation.' He sighed as he felt himself completely overwhelmed by his sister.

Besides that, he had another urgent problem. Between his legs, his little friend was reacting because of the defenseless woman sleeping on top of him. To make matters even worse, she wrapped her thighs around his legs and started grinding slowly as she muttered near his ear.

"Rin~" Her breathy voice tickled his ear gently and made him feel as if he was on the verge of going insane.

Her voluptuous breasts were pressed against his chest and deformed slightly. He could clearly feel the soft and fluffy pair rubbing against him.

"Rin~ Rin~" She kept muttering his name as if she was having a dream.

"D-Don't… leave me alone." She muttered again.

Hearing that, all the weird thoughts Rin was having vanished and a warm smile appeared on his face. She was most likely very worried about him. Just imagining her reaction when she saw his state made him sigh with a frown.

Then, instead of escaping, he wrapped his hands around her back and hugged her tightly before burying her face in his neck.

"I'm sorry… Aria.." He whispered quietly.

Even though she was still asleep, she must've sensed him closing up on her smile widened and an expression of pure bless appeared on her face.

The two stayed like that for a while, Rin enjoyed caressing her face and patting her on the head while listening to her quiet breaths.

Feeling such a peaceful atmosphere made his tired body relax even more and his eyes closed again as he drifted to sleep.

An unknown amount of time passed before he finally woke up again, looking around him his gaze fell on a pair of red eyes that examined with his face with a smile.

Seeing Rin wake up, Aria said.

"Good morning."

"Mmm, good morning." He replied.

The two stared at each other for a while not saying anything. Rin couldn't keep this weird atmosphere going on for any longer so he coughed and asked.

"How long have you been looking at me while I was sleeping?"

"I don't know… a few hours maybe.."

"A few hours?!!!" His eyes widened with shock.

However, Aira merely laughed carefreely.

"Heheheh! If you look at your face right now. I'm just joking, silly."

"O-Oh! H-Hahahah! Yeah, sure." He tried to laugh with her.

'Your eyes are saying otherwise!'

Sighing, he quickly tried to rise up from the bed. But, two hands quickly pulled him back down along with a pout.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Mmm, to wash my face?"

"Rin~" Aria smiled at him with her eyes closed. However, a strong pressure came down on him out of nowhere. Her eyes weren't smiling at all.

"Don't you know how worried we were? You almost died yesterday!!"

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not blaming you but please, you have to rest today. Your body is still recovering and it takes time. I will make sure you don't do anything reckless until you are fully recovered!"

"B-But…"

"No buts, you are going to rest and I will take care of you."

"Sigh… fine…" Feeling exasperated, Rin nodded his head.

"That's my Rin…" Aria pinched his cheek with a satisfied smile before leaving the bed. Rin watched her mesmerizing body as it swayed left and right tantalizingly in front of him. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

'I can't have such thoughts about my own sister!! Wake up, Rin!!'

As he was having such thoughts, Aria halted for a moment as she looked back at him with a meaningful look. Then, without saying anything, she walked out of the room.

"Haaah…What the hell was that look? Is she joking?" Rin muttered as he spread his arms and legs on the bed while looking at the ceiling.

'I can't check my stats now. I will keep the daily quests for later too. Dammit! I have too much to do.'

He had many things he wanted to do and many more to experiment with after what happened inside the dungeon. The things that occurred there were simply engraved in his mind for eternity. No matter how strong he will become in the future, that dungeon will stay in his mind until the day he died.

He simply had never expected all of that at all. Even the fact that he was one step away from death never affected him as much as that fight with the D-Rank boss.

[You are barely on the first step, host. You still have all the time in the world to discover everything.]

'Wow! That's nice of you.'

[I will always be there to support you, host. Even if you stay single for the rest of your life, which is most likely the case, I will marry you, host.]

'I don't swing that way though.'

[I don't have a particular gender, host. I can be whatever you desire.]

A chill ran down Rin's spine when he heard the system's voice. Even it was the same voice and the same robotic tone, there was a weird vibe to it that he didn't quite understand.

After that, Selina and Damian barged into his room and overwhelmed him with questions about what happened. Rin had to come up with a plausible lie to make it out of that questioning session.

Luckily, they believed him in the end and didn't try to ask anymore. They knew that they can't just keep pressuring him when he was still recovering.

"Ah, by the way… The princess wants to meet you." Selina said.

"Huh? The princess?" Rin tilted his head.

"Yes, princess Elise. She wants to meet you. She was also the one that pulled you out of that dungeon. Her highness saved your life."

'Elise?! Wait, so it was indeed Elise that I saw before. I thought it was an illusion or I was hallucinating because of my injuries.'

"Where is she?"

"I'm here."

Looking behind his parents and sister, he could see a goddess standing near the door while resting her shoulder on the wall.

Gazing at her silently for a few seconds, he didn't know what to say. Even though they didn't separate for a long while, he still felt as if he didn't see her in years. Hell, he could even say that he longed for meeting her more than he could ever admit.

"Can you guys leave us alone for some time? You want to talk with me, right?"

"Pretty much."

"I see. You both can have your small talk. We will be waiting. Keep it short, honey." Selina smiled warmly at her son.

'I feel like she's having some kind of misunderstanding. Well, I can't be bothered to explain.'

"Mother, I will stay here," Aria said.

"Fufufufu! No, you aren't. Now, leave them alone."

"Nooooo!! I don't want to." Aria said as she hugged Rin.

"Stop it, Aria."

"No! Rin is still injured."

"You sometimes like to act childish don't you, sweety."

In the end, Aria was dragged out of the room. She kept glaring at Elise as she was pulled out of the room.

"Sigh…" The two sighed at the same time.
