Rivira at night was usually filled with the boisterous sounds of drunken adventurers. However, tonight was silent.
The sudden attack of plant monsters had destroyed most of the buildings, forcing the adventurers to sleep outside, in the cold open air. Plans to rebuild the city would begin the next day, but for now, physical and mental exhaustion left everyone wanting only rest.
The sight of people sleeping on the ground was not unusual; only a lucky few had tents as more comfortable beds.
Not wanting to join the crowded throng, Charlie chose a spot somewhat far from the center of the commotion, at the original location of his tent before the attack.
Swiftly, he set up his simple tent. Soon after, Aishia and Est were lying on either side of him. Charlie hoped to join them in the realm of dreams soon.
Or so he hoped...
How could he not feel anything sleeping side-by-side with women? Even the winners of universal beauty pageants in his previous life were not worthy of mention compared to Aishia and Est.
Staring at the thin tent ceiling, Charlie felt restless.
'Damn it... this adolescent body going through puberty is really troublesome. I really want to have sex... But I can't just vent this desire on the prostitutes in the Entertainment District.
Besides, they were currently deep beneath the surface, on the 18th Floor of the Dungeon. Leaving Aishia and Est alone just to satisfy a momentary urge in the Entertainment District was clearly not a responsible choice, was it?
"Haaah..."
With a long sigh, Charlie closed his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep. However, the swirling thoughts and the awareness of the two girls' presence beside him made it increasingly difficult to drift off.
Each of his hands had been embraced tightly by the two girls. His left hand was sandwiched between his body and Aishia, feeling the soft sensation of the girl's breasts that fit perfectly in his palm—not too big, yet not too small, just right and comfortable.
On the other side, his right hand was also in Est's embrace, pressed gently against the girl's small chest, which, although not yet very prominent, still felt its soft and warm presence.
Those sensations, though unintentional, only made it harder for Charlie to find peace in his sleep.
"No, this situation can't continue. I'm worried my rationality will be defeated by my lust. If that happens, I'll become a beast." Charlie murmured softly, feeling an uncomfortable turmoil within him.
Carefully, he freed himself from Aishia and Est's tight embrace, trying not to wake them. After successfully exiting the tent without making a sound, he took a deep breath.
The cool night breeze slightly eased the burning sexual desire within him, providing a moment of tranquility.
"A bath might help clear my head."
Charlie decided to find a way to calm his chaotic body and mind.
Approaching the edge of a small, quiet lake not far from the campsite, Charlie removed his clothes one by one.
Under the faint light of the thousands of crystals in the sky, his perfect body was clearly visible.
His abdominal muscles were neatly arranged like bricks, without a single bit of distracting fat. His skin was pale white, even smoother and cleaner than most women in his previous life. However, the most striking feature was the emerald green tree root pattern that glowed on his chest, extending past his neck to slightly reach his cheeks, giving a mystical and powerful impression—Manifestation Armor of Fafnir.
Unaware of how attractive and captivating his body was to nymphomaniac women, Charlie jumped into the cold lake water. The refreshing feeling of the water touching his skin gave a pleasant sensation, hoping to cleanse not only his body but also the troubling thoughts.
"Ah... So comfortable..." Charlie sighed softly.
Floating slowly on the calm surface, he closed his eyes, letting his body drift with the gentle currents. The silence of the night and the coolness of the water provided the tranquility he sought.
"..."
He didn't know how long he had enjoyed that peace when suddenly his head bumped into something soft yet firm. Charlie opened his eyes in surprise, and instantly he heard a woman's voice that was very familiar to his ears.
"Charlie?!"
There was clear surprise in the woman's tone, but no trace of anger or annoyance.
"Huh? Aiz?" Charlie replied in an equally surprised tone.
His eyes widened as he saw Aiz standing naked in front of him, the lake water clinging to her smooth white skin and making the curves of her body even more apparent in the faint light.
Aiz's golden hair flowed long and wet, some strands gently clinging to her slender neck and others floating on the water's surface like shimmering golden threads. A drop of water occasionally dripped from the ends of her hair, falling like a jewel into the lake.
Her milky white skin seemed to glow softly under the light, flawless and smooth. The shape of her body was clearly visible without clothing, her beautiful neckline leading to her smooth shoulders. Her full but not excessive breasts looked tempting behind the glistening water clinging to them.
Her stomach was flat and toned, flowing into her slender hips. Her usually cold golden eyes were now filled with surprise and a hint of confusion, yet still radiating a captivating beauty even in this unexpected situation.
The sight of Aiz naked under the moonlight was truly stunning and left Charlie speechless. To make matters worse, his Six Eyes, which granted him night vision, allowed him to see everything very clearly!
"..."
Reflexively, Aiz crossed her arms in front of her chest, trying to cover the curves of her body. Even so, a faint blush began to color her white cheeks, adding an innocent touch to her usually cold beauty.
"Is it beautiful?"
"Very beautiful..." Charlie replied unconsciously, his eyes still fixed on the scene before him before his brain finally processed the situation.
Realizing the inappropriateness of the situation, he immediately turned his back to Aiz in an awkward movement.
"Sorry! Really, I wasn't peeking or anything! I just drifted while floating earlier, I didn't expect anyone else to be here."
Charlie explained quickly, trying to convince the girl that this was just an accident.
Unlike most women who might be suspicious or doubt such an awkward explanation, Aiz gave a surprising answer.
"I believe you, Charlie. You're not that kind of person."
The sincere trust in her words made Charlie feel a little relieved and at the same time a little guilty for having seen a sight he shouldn't have seen.
"I'll leave immediately." He said quickly.
Just as he was about to swim away, putting distance between himself and Aiz, a soft arm suddenly wrapped around his waist from behind.
"Aiz?" Charlie asked in a surprised tone, feeling the touch of smooth skin on his back.
The lust that had just subsided now surged back fiercely, even stronger than before.
The soft and yielding sensation of Aiz's bare breasts pressed so clearly against his back, sending an unbearable wave of heat throughout his body.
The faint floral scent emanating from Aiz's body only worsened the situation.
"Don't go." Aiz whispered softly in his ear, her warm breath brushing against the skin of Charlie's neck. The girl's arm tightened around his waist, holding him there.
"It's rare for us to be alone like this. Stay with me a little longer."
Her tone sounded slightly different from usual, there was a gentleness and... perhaps a little loneliness.
'Am I really experiencing a cliché pervert luck scene like the ecchi anime protagonists I used to watch?!' Charlie thought bitterly.
