Transmigrated to a Dark Fantasy World of SSS-Rank: King of the Void-Chapter 18: The Best Night of All

The bubbles in the cauldron burst wildly as steam rose into the night sky. Using a small branch, Ellegaard stirred the firewood.

"Hey, Aslan, why didn’t Jeanne stay to watch the soup? She was supposed to handle that while I organized our belongings."

The old man, who was feeding grass to the horses, replied,

"The princess tends to disappear like that. It’s not something you should worry about."

"That’s not what I meant. You know how she is. She does whatever she wants, whenever she wants, no matter what. If she sees something she likes, she’ll get it by any means necessary. If she feels like fighting someone, she’ll jump on them and try to break their face. Hmph! Her father spoiled her too much. She’ll always be a pampered brat."

"Unfortunately, you are correct. For now, let’s wait for her to return on her own."

"I don’t have much of a choice. The tick should be back soon too."

Ellegaard frowned.

"Wait a second..."

***

Cold water slid down Mitsuki’s face as his dark eyes, beneath the moonlight, met the sight of a beautiful woman smiling at him with a faint blush on her cheeks. Jeanne was casually watching him, one hand on her cheek and her elbow resting on her knee, as if savoring him with her gaze.

’What the hell is she doing here?!’

He couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t run either—he was naked. And Jeanne’s gaze in the darkness was strangely intimidating.

"Did I scare you? Sorry. That wasn’t my intention. I wanted to take advantage of the fact that you’d be alone for a while so we could talk."

"I... Well..."

Mitsuki stammered. Something about this was wrong—he could feel it in the air.

’What kind of person walks into a place where someone is naked and bathing?! I’ll tell you who—a pervert!’

"Are you really that embarrassed that a girl is looking at you?" she said, laughing modestly, like a noble would. "Come on, you’re a man. You shouldn’t be ashamed."

"Well, it’s just that you... appeared out of nowhere..."

’Of course I’m embarrassed! Any normal person would be!’

Shivering from both nerves and cold, Mitsuki shrank further into the water so nothing would show. Then, staring at Jeanne’s feet, he said,

"And it’s really cold, so could you let me finish? I’ll talk to you later..."

She shook her head. "Why postpone something we can do right now?"

"No, it’s just—"

’Just leave me alone already!’

"Okay, okay," she said, standing up. "You’re embarrassed because you’re the only one naked. Let me fix that."

Jeanne brought her hands to her shoulders and unfastened several straps and hooks, letting the shoulder plates of her armor fall to the ground. Mitsuki swallowed nervously as he watched her remove the breastplate, dropping it with a dull thud.

After that, he saw two large masses of flesh, tightly restrained beneath Jeanne’s spandex blouse, bounce against her chest with an elasticity and weight far too realistic to be a cold-induced hallucination.

’They’re... bigger than I thought...’

Though Jeanne’s chest had looked large beneath her armor, once it fell, the true sacred mountains were freed.

’No! Wait! This isn’t right!’

Mitsuki turned around to avoid staring at the unbelievable spectacle behind him.

He heard the rest of her armor hit the ground—the plated skirt, heavy boots, gloves, her sword and its sheath... But when the metal stopped clattering, the soft, light black garments that covered Jeanne’s curvy body brushed against the ground with a delicacy that sent Mitsuki’s imagination into the stratosphere.

"There. Now it’s fair, right? You can look if you want. I don’t mind at all," she said, stepping into the water.

Her gentle steps created small ripples that reached Mitsuki. He shuddered—not just from the cold, but for another very obvious reason between his legs.

"I—I think I’m leaving..." he said, desperate to escape. He closed his eyes and, regardless of being seen naked, tried to step out. He barely managed one step before he felt her grab his hand with such overwhelming strength that she could’ve shattered his bones.

"I think instead of fixing things, I just made you more nervous. Sorry."

"It’s fine. I don’t mind."

’Of course I mind! I know my eyes are bleeding right now from not looking at you, but I’m not pathetic enough to fall into such a sweet trap!’

Besides, the excitement this situation caused him was overwhelming.

"I just want to talk to you. I want you to feel comfortable."

She slowly released his hand, giving him a bit more confidence. Even so, he didn’t turn around.

"I understand, but I think there were better moments to talk."

"I don’t think so. There’s no better moment than a conversation in the nude. Not just the nakedness of our bodies, but of our souls as well."

’What is this woman even saying now? Don’t you understand this kind of situation kills virgins 100% of the time? I have to survive!’

"I know I’ve said it before, but you look very feminine. Now that I see your naked body, I realize how cute you are," she said, running her fingers along Mitsuki’s slender back.

’I don’t understand a damn thing! God! Just swallow me whole already!’

Jeanne looked at her own body, then at Mitsuki’s pale skin and androgynous figure, and seemed to realize something.

"Oh, well, now that I think about it, this does look a bit too sexual. But it’s not like that, I promise."

"Yeah... I was thinking the same thing."

’That reassures me a little. Not enough, though.’

"I’m serious, Mitsuki. I’ve never done ’that’ with a man. I don’t really know what it’s like to have sex with someone. I always preferred fighting and killing monsters—so much that I distanced myself from the things people my age usually do."

"I don’t know what to say to that..."

"Don’t worry. I’m just taking advantage of this moment to get to know you better. Something told me you’d be staying with us for a long time, so I couldn’t help thinking about how to get to know you faster. Maybe my impatience led me to this. Sorry." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

’At least she’s aware she crossed a line. I hope that means she’ll get dressed and leave, because my head feels way too hot. My nose might start bleeding any second.’

"But I don’t want to end this just like that. Your body is very pretty—very different from any man I’ve seen before. So I don’t mind if you look a little. I’m not ashamed of nudity. I grew up being dressed by my maids, so it’s not an issue for me."

’A princess in every sense of the word... Wait, what?!’

Mitsuki felt Jeanne’s cold hands grab his shoulders. A strong shake forced him to face her.

"Open your eyes, Mitsuki."

’No... This isn’t happening...’

He took a second to think. Then his own mind screamed at him: ’Do it, idiot!’

He opened his eyes, finally understanding why none of the wars in the world were worth it. It was the same blonde girl with green eyes—but nothing covered her beautiful body. Her flawless skin, her large, soft breasts, and those pink nipples.

Her abdomen, shaped by training and marked by a few scars, decorated her enchanting figure.

The longer he looked, the lower his gaze drifted.

But Jeanne stopped him. "Hey, don’t stare too much. I didn’t look down there."

Mitsuki, stunned by the view, could only mumble,

"Uh... Right..."

"That’s enough for now. We’ll talk like this again when we get the chance. See you at camp," she said, stepping out of the water. She gathered her things and, still naked, disappeared into the forest.

Meanwhile, the one they called the King of the Void—the best casual and competitive player in the world—remained staring blankly ahead. Small drops of blood trickled from his nose down to his lip.

’I discovered things tonight...’

He looked at his trembling hand as if he had some kind of cognitive disorder.

’Isn’t this the best night of my life?’

Better than many other nights?

Definitely.
