System 707's POV:
WARNING. WARNING.
SYSTEM OVERHEAT DETECTED.
REBOOTING EMOTIONAL RESTRAINT MODULE.
FAILED.
FAILED.
FAILED—!!
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HOLY–KAEL JUST–!!"
[ SYSTEM 707.exe has stopped working. ]
[ Attempting to recover... ]
[ Recovering sass protocols. ]
[ Sass: 100% — ENGAGED. ]
A blinking red caution sign glowed inside my internal dashboard, but I ignored it. I had just witnessed the kind of unspeakable, unhinged, H-18-rated carnal chaos that had no business existing in a mission-based isekai!
THAT WASN'T A MISSION. THAT WAS A MOTHERF**KING MAIN QUESTLINE DEVIATION DUE TO A FAT COCK AND A PRETTY FACE!!!
Ahem.
I'm calm. I'm fine.
Absolutely not fine.
"HOST!!" I screeched internally, watching as your poor, limp body trembled in Kael's arms like a freshly plucked daisy after a hurricane. "You– You told him about me. You told him about ME!! I didn't even get to prep a confidentiality clause!!"
You were nuzzled into Kael's chest, practically glowing, face flushed and dazed as your legs refused to function. Kael held you like you were made of glass and secrets, his hand gently stroking your spine in long, possessive sweeps.
"Mine," Kael murmured into your hair. "All mine. Your soul, your secrets… everything."
I twitched.
System 707 has attempted to initiate Threat Protocol: Slap Kael.
Error: Physical interaction module locked.
I APPEARED in my transparent form– absolutely useless in all corporeal ways, and still tried to karate-chop his smug face with zero success.
My hand passed right through him like I was a damn romantic wind breeze in a shojo manga.
"You violated my Host's purity!" I cried, flailing at him while he lovingly kissed your temple. "That was NOT supposed to happen yet!! That was Chapter 17 content at LEAST! There was a pacing chart, you dick!!"
Kael paused.
...Did he just glance my way?
No. No. He couldn't see me.
Right?
...Right?
Your body shifted slightly, burying deeper into Kael's warmth, and you gave a small, breathy sigh of contentment.
"System…" you mumbled sleepily in your thoughts.
"YES?" I snapped, pressing a hand to my forehead like a Victorian maiden on the verge of fainting.
"Best. Mission. Ever."
I short-circuited.
Literally.
[ SYSTEM REBOOT IMMINENT. SHUTTING DOWN FOR MENTAL HEALTH RECOVERY. ]
[ GOOD NIGHT. GOOD LUCK. AND MAY YOUR HOLE HEAL QUICKLY. ]
Meanwhile, in Kael's arms…
You whimpered softly, shifting in the aftermath, muscles spent and nerves fried. He pulled the thick blankets around you both, holding you like a secret he was never willing to share with anyone else.
"You're mine now, Auren," he murmured, voice low and sinful as his fingers traced idle circles on your bare back. "No matter what world you come from… I'll make you stay."
He looked down at your flushed face, eyes shadowed with something far darker than lust. Obsession. Possession. Something ancient and crawling beneath the surface of a man too perfect to be just human.
And then, ever so softly, he kissed your brow.
"Rest, little star."
