Chapter 32 - No more Nightmares

"Did you sleep well, Pudding-chan?" Zechs asked.

His tail gently brushed over her head as he noticed her stirring. Pudding shifted slightly, blinking away the last traces of sleep.

"Umm… it was the best sleep I've ever had," she murmured.

"The best sleep?" Zechs raised an eyebrow.

That answer surprised him. She was a princess who had grown up surrounded by luxury, yet she was saying that a night in this terrible environment was the most restful sleep of her life.

They were stranded in an unfamiliar rainforest, surrounded by heavy humidity and the constant buzzing of insects, flies, and mosquitoes. Her clothes were torn and uncomfortable, her body was dirty and injured, and there was no proper bed, only damp leaves, and wet, muddy ground inside a poorly built shelter.

Someone who had spent her entire life surrounded by luxury shouldn't have been able to sleep here at all.

And yet…

Pudding understood what he was thinking, but she still nodded, "This really is the first time I've slept this peacefully."

She wasn't lying. In fact, she could barely remember the last time she had slept this peacefully. Then she quietly explained the reason. "And… It's because I didn't have any nightmares."

"I see…" Zechs murmured.

Pudding nodded slowly. "They've followed me for as long as I can remember… people mocking me for being a freak… calling my third eye disgusting…"

Night after night, those memories would haunt her sleep.

"After I ate the Memo Memo no Mi… it got worse," she added.

Zechs blinked, momentarily confused about why that Devil Fruit would make her nightmares worse. Then realization dawned on him. "It's the memories…"

She nodded. "Yes." Then she explained, "Quite often, when I'm agitated in my sleep, I end up using my Devil Fruit power without meaning to and start recalling memories I don't want to see."

Her voice softened as she continued, "And recalling those bad memories while being asleep only makes the nightmares worse."

She had never been able to talk about them with anyone. Nor had she found any way to stop them. Most nights ended the same way, with her waking quietly and crying into her pillow.

Zechs didn't say anything for a moment.

A peaceful night's sleep was something most people took for granted… yet this girl had struggled to find it her entire life.

No wonder she's a little crazy in the head, he thought.

But he kept that thought to himself.

Instead, his tail gently stroked her hair.

Pudding looked up at him and said softly, "It was thanks to you…"

She felt shy when she remembered how she had slept for several hours while clinging to him, but she didn't want to deny the truth, either. It was all thanks to Zechs.

Hearing that, Zechs smiled playfully. "Fufu… Pudding-chan, since you slept so well because of me… shouldn't I get something in return?"

Pudding tilted her head slightly. "Something in return?"

"Right?" he replied with a nod, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Umm… w-well…" Pudding hesitated, glancing away nervously.

Then, after a moment of gathering her courage, she agreed, "Okay." She then leaned over him with a flushed face and gently pressed her lips against his, kissing him.

Zechs hadn't expected her to kiss him so suddenly. He had assumed she would first ask what he wanted, and then hesitate for a while. But to his surprise, she didn't ask anything at all; she simply leaned forward and took the initiative to kiss him.

Although it caught him slightly off guard, he didn't complain about her initiative. Instead, he responded in kind, slipping his tongue out to meet hers.

"Mmm… Zechs-sama… chu…" she murmured softly, her voice thick with feeling as her tongue curled around his.

'Fufu… she's developing well…' he thought with quiet amusement as he enjoyed the kiss.

[Are you happy about successfully corrupting a young, innocent girl?] Miss System taunted.

'Yes, Miss System, very happy…' he replied inwardly. 'Be sure to reward me with more Summoning Cards for such young, innocent girls. I'll corrupt them with my own flavor as well,' he added with a nod in his heart.

[Humph! How shameless!] Miss System snorted but didn't say anything further.

After several minutes, when Pudding began to feel breathless, she slowly pulled her lips away. Her face was flushed red, her eyes slightly moist, and she let out a soft, shy sigh before stammering, "Th-this should be enough… right?"

Zechs looked at her innocent expression and curled his lips into a sly, predatory smile. "Nope… not enough…" He trailed off, his gaze dipping lower as he nodded toward the insistent ache at his groin. "See what your kiss has wrought?"

Pudding's eyes followed, widening with a sharp intake of breath. His cock stood proud and unyielding, thick veins pulsing with raw need, the flushed tip glistening faintly in the morning light.

"You'll have to take responsibility, Pudding-chan…" he added calmly.

"I-I have to take responsibility?" she echoed, her breath quivering in shock.

"Of course," he replied matter-of-factly. "You're the one who made me get erect this early in the morning. If you don't take responsibility, then who will? Or could it be that you are going to leave like this?"

"W-well…" she faltered, unsure how to respond. Yes, she had kissed him, but only because he had asked for something in return. She hadn't meant for him to get erect.

Ahem… of course, that didn't mean she was unhappy about it either. The fact that he had become erect just from kissing her secretly pleased her. She didn't mind helping him relieve himself, either; she had already done it yesterday, so why would she feel afraid or reluctant to do it again today?

Still, she couldn't help worrying about his condition.

"W-won't it harm you, Zechs-sama? You haven't eaten anything for the past week, and you're still injured…"

"It's fine, Pudding-chan," he replied calmly. "Whether I eat food or not doesn't really affect my ability to have sex. It doesn't require calories or nutrition from food. And as I told you yesterday, sex is not only medicine for me—it's also food. The more sex I have, the more fulfilled I feel, and the faster I recover. So if you help me now, you're not only taking responsibility for making me erect, you're also helping me feel fulfilled and recover. In other words… what I need most is sex."

"I… understand…" she breathed, her face flushing with embarrassment. Steeling her nerves, she nodded. "O-okay… let me ease you… let me make it right…"

With that, she rose slightly and reached toward his erection, gently wrapping her hand around it.

The warmth and faint twitch of his length against her small fingers made Pudding tremble.

The memory of what she had done for him earlier resurfaced, making her cheeks flush in embarrassment. Even so, she tightened her fingers around his girth and, without much hesitation, she gathered a glistening bead of saliva on her tongue, letting it drip languidly along his cock in a warm, teasing trail that she smoothed over his heated skin and the tender weight of his sac. With the eased friction, she began stroking him in smooth motions.

Since she had already made him climax several times yesterday, she was no longer completely inexperienced. She knew the sensitive ridge that made him tense, the base where pressure bloomed into bliss upon tease, the gentle cradle of his balls that drew a low groan from his throat.

Stealing a glance at his face, eyes half-lidded, lips parted, she felt sweet, thinking that he was enjoying her service, and asked him shyly, "D-does it feel… good, Zechs-sama?"

Unlike yesterday's comment, she felt confident that he would tell her she was doing well, that she was making him feel good.

He inclined his head, "Hmm… it certainly feels good. You're doing very well, Pudding-chan… much better than yesterday. Keep going… make me cum…"

"Okay…" Her heart swelled at the praise, and she became even more careful and devoted in her movements. She lavished him with care, fingers tracing teasing spirals along his length while her other hand cupped and rolled his sac in feather-light kneads.

Shlick… shlick…

Lewd, wet sounds echoed around them as Zechs felt his penis twitch.

"Is it… close?" she murmured, sensing that subtle hitch in his breath, the way his hips canted ever so slightly into her palm.

"Not yet… it'll take a while, so keep going," he sighed, pleasure threading through his words.

"I… I see…" she murmured, continuing her steady motions.

Shlick… shlick…

Several minutes passed, and before long, the pressure of his approaching orgasm began to build.

In fact, the growing pressure wasn't limited to him. Pudding could feel a similar tension building within herself. She tried to control it, forcing herself to stay focused, but as more minutes passed, it became harder and harder to keep that rising pressure in check.

'Woo… did it have to be now?' she thought, squirming slightly.

Zechs, meanwhile, was enjoying her service with his eyes closed and failed to notice the growing pressure building inside Pudding. If it had been related to his own pleasure or approaching climax, he might have sensed it. But since it had nothing to do with that, it escaped his notice entirely.

Poor Pudding could only try to endure it, forcing herself to keep moving her hand steadily.

But as more time passed, it became impossible for her to endure. The pressure grew overwhelming, forcing her to abruptly stop stroking him and, almost mechanically, rise to her feet.

When the sensation around his cock suddenly disappeared, Zechs, who had been relaxing with his eyes closed, opened them in confusion and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"N-nothing…" she replied, her face flushed as she avoided meeting his eyes.

"Then why did you stop all of a sudden?" he pressed, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing… I… I just remembered something very urgent. I'll be back in a while…" she said quickly before hurrying out, clearly unwilling to explain.

"Hey… at least make me finish first. I was almost there…" he called after her, but she was already gone.

Left alone, Zechs blinked awkwardly. "Well… this is…" He paused for a moment before realizing what had happened. "Damn… I got blue-balled!"

[Fufufu~] Miss System laughed in amusement.

Miss System, you shouldn't laugh at your host like that… Zechs pouted internally, clearly unhappy. His penis was still twitching, right on the verge of release, yet Pudding had suddenly stopped and run off, leaving him there in an extremely uncomfortable state.

It was truly unfortunate that he was practically paralyzed at the moment and couldn't move. Otherwise, he would have chased after her and punished her for blue-balling him like that.

Since he couldn't go anywhere, he had no choice but to lie there and wait, wondering, 'Where did she run off to all of a sudden?'

Deciding to check, he extended his Observation Haki slightly.

Almost immediately, he sensed her presence nearby. She seemed to be squatting somewhere among the bushes, her emotions radiating the unmistakable relief of someone who had finally eased themselves.

[Host… It's not good to peep on a woman at a time like this…] Miss System reminded him.

"Ahem… I was just making sure she was alright," he muttered before withdrawing his Observation Haki. Of course, he already understood what was happening and why she had suddenly run off.

While Pudding was busy answering nature's call, Zechs glanced down at his still-erect, twitching, and clearly dissatisfied member. "It's okay, little brother… just wait a little longer. Big sister will be back soon to help you relieve yourself," he murmured apologetically.

His little brother twitched again in obvious protest, making Zechs let out a resigned sigh.

Deciding to ignore the complaint for the moment, he turned his thoughts elsewhere and began pondering the quest reward he had received.

'Kotoamatsukami, huh?' he thought in surprise.

That was not a reward he had expected.

Of course, Zechs knew exactly what Kotoamatsukami was.

It was a powerful genjutsu from the shinobi world, one of the highest-level illusion techniques. It allowed the user to manipulate a target without the target ever realizing they were being controlled. Instead, the victim would experience a subtle illusion and believe that every action they took was the result of their own free will.

In the original canon, Uchiha Shisui had intended to use Kotoamatsukami on Uchiha Fugaku to stop the Uchiha coup d'état. Later, Shimura Danzō used it to manipulate Mifune, the general of the Land of Iron, into nominating the Land of Fire, and by extension the temporary Hokage, Danzō himself, as the commander of the allied shinobi forces. If not for Aō, who possessed the Byakugan and recognized the technique, Danzō might have succeeded.

Well… even then, he probably wouldn't have left the Land of Iron alive. Sasuke would've killed him anyway.

But setting that aside, the power of Kotoamatsukami was undeniable.

It had even allowed the reanimated Itachi to break free from Kabuto's control. In short, when it came to manipulating someone's mind, Kotoamatsukami was the real thing.

In some ways, it even reminded him of the covenants Imu placed on people. Those marked by Imu became subject to his control; he could manipulate them however he wished, even altering their thoughts so they believed those ideas were their own, just like what happened with Herald.

The more Zechs thought about it, the more similarities he saw between Kotoamatsukami and the manipulation of Imu's Abyss mark.

Of course, unlike Kotoamatsukami, Imu's Abyss mark also had other functions aside from manipulations… but the point still stood that this Genjutsu is OP.

And honestly, Zechs found it astonishing that he had received such a powerful genjutsu from another world, one with a completely different energy and power system.

'Miss System… I really didn't expect you to reward me with something like Kotoamatsukami,' he said inwardly.

[Quest rewards are not necessarily limited to the Blue Planet.] Miss System replied calmly.

'That makes me even more excited,' he responded immediately, already imagining what other rewards he might obtain in the future. 'Maybe one day I'll even turn Super Saiyan.'

[It's not good to have such unrealistic expectations, host. You'll only end up disappointed.] Miss System quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

'Can't you at least let a man dream about his childhood fantasies?' he muttered with a pout.

[I'm simply stating the facts. A reward like Super Saiyan is impossible, since a quest of that level would never be issued on the Blue Planet. It's far too overpowered.] Miss System explained calmly.

Zechs could only sigh after hearing that. He understood her reasoning, but he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. The thought that he would have to find some other way to go blonde left him slightly dejected.

After all, becoming a Super Saiyan would have been such a cool way to turn temporarily blonde.

[Host… I see now. Your desire to go blonde is related to your hobby, isn't it? Do you also want to become tan?] Miss System added.

'Ahem… what are you talking about, Miss System? I have no idea what you mean,' he replied, pretending to be clueless.

Of course, that act fooled no one. His thoughts were hardly a secret to Miss System, who was already very familiar with her host's peculiar hobbies.

Putting that aside, Zechs examined the System's description of Kotoamatsukami and was immediately surprised. 'Eh? It can only be used once every ten years?' he muttered inwardly before complaining to Miss System. 'This is unfair. Why can I only use it once every ten years?'

[Isn't that how it works? Kotoamatsukami requires ten years to recharge.] Miss System replied calmly.

'But that's only the case for non-Uchiha users. It's different for Uchihas,' Zechs argued.

[Host, you're not of Uchiha blood either.] Miss System responded with a shrug.

'Ah… right. I got so excited that I almost forgot,' Zechs admitted, sticking out his tongue.

When he thought about it that way, it did make sense. Since he wasn't a Uchiha, he obviously couldn't use Kotoamatsukami repeatedly. Instead, he was limited to a single use every ten years.

'It suddenly feels a lot less attractive,' he thought with a sigh.

If he had been able to use Kotoamatsukami freely, he could have cast it on anyone he wanted and controlled them at will. Now that he could only activate it once every ten years, the overwhelmingly powerful mind-control technique no longer felt quite as overpowered.

Of course, even if it wasn't as overpowered as he had first imagined, it was still extremely useful. Using it once every ten years wasn't that bad either. After all, each use could give him a completely loyal and devoted subordinate. By the time the final war arrived, he could potentially have six such followers, people whose loyalty he might never have been able to secure through ordinary means.

'It's still pretty good, I guess,' he thought.

Then he remembered something: the second objective of the quest had only been thirty percent complete.

'Miss System,' he asked, 'I still received Kotoamatsukami even though Objective 2 was only thirty percent complete. If I had fully completed it, could I have obtained something like the Mangekyō Sharingan instead?'

The thought made him feel a little dejected. If he could have obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan but missed the chance because he failed to fully complete the second objective, it would be quite disappointing. Still, it couldn't be helped; saving Pudding had been far more important.

'But in hindsight, I still feel a bit depressed…' he thought, internally lamenting. It was every man's dream to possess the Sharingan, and now he might have missed that opportunity.

[That information cannot be disclosed.] Miss System replied.

Zechs pouted but didn't press further. Instead, he asked another question.

'Then tell me this, what exactly did it mean that I only completed thirty percent of Objective 2?'

Although he already had a guess, he still wanted to hear the answer.

But Miss System disappointed him again. [The host needs to figure that out himself.]

Zechs pouted once more but didn't press the matter further. It was clear that Miss System wasn't allowed to answer that question.

'I guess I'll have to find a way to contact Linlin… she's probably still being chased by Kong,' he thought.

That was the only explanation he could come up with for the second objective being only thirty percent complete during his presence.

It likely meant Linlin was still being pursued.

The thought made him uneasy. He wasn't sure whether Linlin could keep escaping capture again and again. Of course, knowing her, she probably could; she wasn't some fragile beauty without strength or intelligence.

Still, as her future husband, he couldn't help worrying about his future wife.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do right now. With his body still injured, all he could do was wait until he recovered and then figure something out.

For the moment, he decided to set that concern aside and turned his attention back to Kotoamatsukami.

Receiving such a technique at this point could only be considered a blessing.

Now that he was on an island, Zechs began considering summoning the man whose summoning card had been gathering dust in his inventory.

However, he was also a bit hesitant.

The problem was that he had no reliable way to control that person.

The summons were not automatically loyal to him, as one might expect. Miss System offered no assistance in that regard, which was exactly why Zechs hesitated.

With Pudding, things had been different. He understood her insecurities and fears, and he knew how to influence her emotions. Because of that, he was able to plant the right seeds in her heart and make her fall in love with him.

But the same approach would not work with that man. That person was deeply devoted to protecting his siblings.

Unlike Pudding, who seemed willing to accept the possibility of never seeing her family again and had agreed to serve him, that man would never accept such a fate. If he were summoned to this era and forced to live here while leaving his siblings behind to fend for themselves, he would refuse to submit.

Instead, he would likely search for a way to return to his own time and space. And if no such path existed, the situation could easily turn worse; he could develop deep resentment toward Zechs and even try to kill him in order to return.

Such a person who knows the future and possesses a lot of talent, along with Conqueror's Haki, Zechs didn't want to make himself an enemy like that.

If that person had been a woman, the situation might have been simpler. But since it was a man, the entire matter was not going to be easy.

'The only way would have been for me to summon him while he was still a child and hadn't become the protective brother figure that he was…'

Otherwise, trying to control that man could have easily become a massive headache.

Now, however, with Kotoamatsukami in his possession, things suddenly seemed much easier.

That thought made him grin. 'Miss System, be honest. You love me so much that you gave me Kotoamatsukami, right?'

[Quest rewards are generated automatically, host. I have no control over them.] Miss System replied for what felt like the hundredth time.

Zechs didn't believe her. 'It's okay, Miss System. You can keep acting tsun-tsun. I know you secretly love me.'

Miss System rolled her eyes, [You're simply in denial, host.]

'Love you too, Miss System,' Zechs replied.

Miss System was left completely speechless and didn't even know how to respond.

'By the way, Miss System… I have another question,' Zechs said.

[What is it?] she asked, sounding somewhat exasperated.

'Kotoamatsukami… doesn't it require chakra to use? Where am I supposed to get chakra from?' he asked.

It was a genuine concern. Chakra belonged to an entirely different power system. On the Blue Planet, he had no access to it unless he somehow received it through a quest reward or something similar. If he couldn't use Kotoamatsukami because of that, it would be extremely frustrating.

[You don't need to worry about that, host. No chakra or anything similar is required. The ability can be used directly.]

'Nice… I knew Miss System loved me,' Zechs said excitedly, nodding to himself.

[You…! Forget it…] Miss System muttered, shaking her head. She was far too tired to argue with him at the moment.

"Fufu…" he grinned, and with that, his conversation with Miss System came to an end.

Just then, Pudding returned with a relieved expression and said, "Let's continue, Zechs-sama…"

Although she had left him hanging, she still intended to continue and relieve him through her service.

As she moved toward him, Zechs suddenly asked, "Pudding-chan… did you wash your hands?"

Pudding froze, "!!!"

It wasn't because she hadn't washed herself or her hands; she had. The real reason she froze was because of what his question implied.

It meant he knew what she had been doing.

Her face instantly flushed with embarrassment, but at the same time, her expression darkened, "Zechs-sama… you…!!!"

A moment later, she suddenly pulled out a pair of scissors and held them up threateningly while glaring at him, "It seems I'll have to wipe your memories clean…"

"Hey… hey… wait! You can't do this to me, Pudding-chan!" Zechs shouted in panic.

Sometime later…

Crackle~

The sound of firewood crackling echoed from outside the shelter.

Pudding was roasting the snake she had caught the day before.

Inside the shelter, Zechs called out to her, "Pudding-chan… aren't you going to help me relieve my little brother?"

"Humph!" she snorted, ignoring him completely and even turning her back toward the shelter.

'Yare, yare… she's so captivated by my charm that she's embarrassed to face me,' Zechs sighed narcissistically.

[Host… are you sure that's the reason?] Miss System couldn't help commenting.

'What, Miss System? Are you saying Pudding-chan isn't embarrassed?' Zechs asked in his mind.

[…] Miss System didn't know how to respond.

Pudding was indeed embarrassed, but not because of his supposed charm. It was because of his earlier question.

Although she ultimately hadn't wiped his memories, she had been giving him the cold shoulder. She ignored him, left him hanging, and didn't help him relieve his little brother either.

Naturally, the reason was simple. She was far too embarrassed, now that she knew Zechs was aware of what she was doing while squatting between the bushes.

Shaking his head, Zechs tried to apologize. "I'm sorry, Pudding-chan… I didn't mean to embarrass you."

"Humph! Pervert…!" she snorted again at the thought, her face burning bright red.

'It seems an apology isn't going to work…' he thought.

So he changed his approach again. Softening his voice, he began to act pitifully and tried a bit of emotional blackmail.

"Ahh… I'm so hungry… If only there were a kind-hearted, beautiful maiden here who would feed me and keep this injured man from starving to death…"

"I've heard that chefs are very kind people. They can't stand watching someone starve to death, it goes against their code as chefs…"

"Aaah… it seems the world is truly cruel. An injured man lies here, helpless, yet no one has the heart to help him. If someone truly had a heart, they would surely come over and take care of me…"

Hearing him repeatedly act pitiful, Pudding felt the urge to curse. Didn't she understand exactly what he was doing? She had spent her whole life manipulating people through their emotional vulnerability; of course, she could see what he was trying.

Determined not to fall for it, she tried to ignore him.

But she could only ignore him for so long.

After a while, her heart began to soften.

'No… no… he's just acting. It's not serious at all…!' she tried to convince herself.

"Fuuuh… It hurts so much here… If only a beautiful brown-haired girl would come over and help me…"

When he mentioned being in pain, Pudding trembled. She wanted to keep ignoring him, but considering his injuries, it was true that he must be suffering a great deal. Even if he didn't show it on his face most of the time, there was no denying the pain his body must be in.

Realizing that, she bit her lip and silently cursed herself.

'What am I doing? Even if Zechs-sama is teasing me… maybe he's only doing it to distract himself from the pain. And here I am, sulking just because he asked a simple question… What was the big deal? He only asked whether I had washed my hands. It's not like he was peeping on me or anything…

And besides… even if he had seen me at that time, what would be the big deal? Isn't he my master, and I am his maid? What is there for me to hide from him?

Yet here I am, getting so embarrassed over just a question…

Unn… I'm really pathetic, aren't I?'

Tears began to gather at the corners of her eyes as that thought struck her. She quickly wiped them away and stood up.

Picking up the roasted snake, she hurried over to Zechs and sat down beside him.

"I… I'm sorry, Zechs-sama…" she apologized softly.

Zechs blinked, not expecting her to give in so quickly. For a moment, he even felt a little embarrassed for resorting to such shameless tactics to soften her heart.

"Ahem… you don't need to apologize," he said.

Pudding didn't respond to that. Instead, she quietly tore off a small piece of the roasted snake and held it to his lips.

"Here… eat."

"Earlier I was just saying that casually, Pudding-chan," he replied. "I don't really need food to sustain myself." Then he added, "You should eat it yourself. You're the one who needs it."

Especially if she was going to keep giving him her vitality.

But Pudding shook her head.

"I know you don't need food to survive… but please eat." She lowered her gaze slightly. "Eating alone… It's a bit depressing. I've been doing that for the past week. I want to eat with you. As for the amount… It's fine. My appetite isn't big enough to finish the whole snake anyway."

Understanding her reasoning, Zechs didn't argue further. "Alright," he said, opening his mouth to take the bite.

"Umm…" she murmured and placed the piece of meat into his mouth.

Zechs took the bite, and in the process his tongue brushed against her fingers. The sudden contact made Pudding blush, but she said nothing. She quietly withdrew her hand, tore off a small piece for herself, and ate it using the same fingers.

Zechs noticed that she had licked the same fingers he had touched earlier. The sight pleased him, and he chewed the meat contentedly.

As expected, snake meat tasted somewhat like chicken. There were no spices or seasoning, but roasted meat alone was still edible.

Zechs wasn't worried about diseases either. Pudding was a capable cook and clearly knew how to handle food properly, so he ate without concern. After swallowing, he commented, "It's actually quite good."

Pudding sighed. "You don't have to say that just to make me feel better. I know it's not good at all."

From her perspective, the meat was bland and nearly tasteless. "I'm not saying it just to comfort you," Zechs replied. "I'm telling the truth."

Pudding wanted to argue, but she held back. Instead, she accepted the praise with a faint blush and continued tearing off small pieces, feeding them to him one by one with her fingers.

For some reason, each time she fed him, his tongue seemed to brush against her fingers again. Yet she didn't complain. Each time it happened, she simply cleaned her fingers with her own tongue before offering him another bite.

As the two continued eating while gazing into each other's eyes, the atmosphere gradually grew warm and subtle. Very little was spoken aloud, yet their eyes seemed to convey countless unspoken words with every glance.

While tearing off another piece for him, Pudding's gaze briefly drifted toward Zechs' crotch, where she unsurprisingly noticed his erection. However, she didn't comment on it. They were still eating, and she had already decided she would help him deal with it after they finished.

So she simply fed him another bite. It's just that her fingers lingered slightly longer in his mouth before she slowly pulled them away and licked them clean herself.

Time seemed to blur. Before long, the entire snake had been eaten.

Pudding rose briefly to wash her hands while Zechs waited for her, his breathing already low and husky.

She didn't keep him waiting long. Soon she returned to his side and knelt beside him once more.

"Pudding-chan…" he began.

But he never finished.

She suddenly leaned forward and kissed him.

Chu~

Zechs's eyes widened in surprise. Still, he leaned into the kiss, accepting it. At the same time, he felt her fingers coil around his erect shaft, beginning to move slowly up and down in a steady stroking motion.

Shlick… shlick…
