Chapter 27: From the maws of death

- Arthas -
I looked at Veena, who crept in between my legs slowly, taking her time, running her hand on my thigh, reaching to my crotch.
But unlike what I had expected, she didn't touch it and instead got on top of me, straddling me in such a way that her crotch landed directly on top of my length, pressing it between her slit directly.
She was wet, probably from watching Rose and me earlier.
I, however, didn't get to see it much as she leant in and captured my lips, kissing me fiercely.
While she did this, her waist moved, sliding her slit on top of my length, slowly making it wet and making the movement easier.
My hands slid behind her, grabbing her ass and pushing her to slide over it.
She pulled away after… I don't know how much time had passed, but it didn't stop the movements of her hips as she looked at Rose. "Oh my, it looks like you enjoyed the show." Veena giggled.
This made me look at the girl too.
Rose was flushed red, breathing heavily as she looked at us with a hand between her legs. She took a moment to realise we were looking at her and quickly removed her hand from between her legs, looking flustered.
"No need to be embarrassed. It is natural to feel what you are feeling. If anything, I'm flattered that watching us could make you feel that. Why don't you come closer and take a better look? Come here and join us." Veena smiled at her.
She was hesitating, so I took her hand and tugged her towards me. This was enough to make her relent as she came and lay besides me. My hands snaked around her waist, pulling her into a tighter hug so that her breasts were pressed into my side, then my hands slid on to her ass, massaging it lightly.
Rose moaned into my ears.
"When kissing, use not just your lips but your whole body. Obviously, what you two were doing just now was giving into your lust. It has its own charm in a way. Losing yourself in your partner." Veena said, looking at Rose, who suddenly looked as if she was taking notes.
…
Really.
Has this turned into a sex ed class?
Not that I said anything.
Sex ed or not, her hips hadn't stopped moving, and from the wetness I was feeling on my length, I knew she was excited too.
On any other day, she would be riding me like a cowgirl from my simulation, but today she was holding back, actually including Rose in the whole thing to not make her feel left out.
I could see her point.
Being left out while laying next to the guy, your first date, who was lost in banging another drop-dead gorgeous woman… yeah, that wouldn't do any good to Rose's already fragile confidence.
This way, however, while she hadn't even realised it, she was getting comfortable with the whole situation now.
Veena increased her movements, and a few minutes later, I felt myself reaching the edge too.
I grabbed her hips to help her movements as I was reaching the climax, but she had something else in mind as she suddenly got down and kneeled between my legs again. Then she looked at Rose and spoke. "Look carefully; this is how you please a man with your mouth." Then finally she looked at me. "You can stop holding back now and let it out."
With that said, she took me in her mouth and started working her tongue over me.
I leant back and groaned in pleasure while Rose watched in interest, not even minding the hand gripping and massaging her ass.
A few minutes later, I reached the limit and grabbed Veena's head and pushed her on my length, finally shooting ropes after ropes of my semen directly into her gullet.
Choking?
That was for amateurs.
Her words, not mine.
She sucked everything and pulled back, matching her eyes with Rose and then closing her eyes as she gulped everything down.
I'll be honest… just that sight was enough to get me hard once more.
She quickly used the Clean spell and gave me a kiss before lying down beside me, leaving Rose in a daze.
We didn't continue any further for Rose's sake. It seems that Veena was quite serious when she said that we should experience normal dating first.
I too agreed with that.
That night, I slept with a naked lady in each of my arms.
Was this how those anime harem protagonists feel?
…it was amazing.

I woke up the next day, feeling softness on both my sides. I take back what I had said first. While waking up on Veena's breasts had been good. This… was better.
In fact, it was so good that I almost wanted to close my eyes and take a longer nap just to enjoy the feeling.
I, however, didn't have that privilege as the grind was waiting for me.
Slowly pulling myself out of their embrace, I got out of bed and got dressed before slowly leaving the room for the early morning runs. After leaving a note in the room for both the girls.
This Saitama workout must work.
Don't let me down, Gamemaster.

"Battle Aura, in essence, is a form of mana manipulation, but different from the flashy effects of magic invocation as it is invisible to the naked eye. It is specifically used as a technique to explosively boost physical power and defence. It involves coating the whole body or a specific body part in mana and forming a mantle of dense energy. However, as the mastery increases, at higher stages, when the concentration of mana surpasses a certain level, it becomes visible. Currently, the only person I know to have reached that level is his Majesty." Sir Ralph said, his eyes gaining a distant look as if he were remembering them.
"How strong is that?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Strong enough to stand at the top of this kingdom." He replied seriously. "Strong enough to battle that monstrous king of Baweth on an equal footing. You shouldn't dream about that right now and try to start with getting the basics first." He rolled his eyes and continued his instructions on Battle Aura.
I had directly come to the Knight's Academy for my early morning training after my Saitama workout.
Sir Ralph was a man of serious discipline, watching over the drills of the students of the Knight's Academy from five in the morning every day.
He asked me to come to an empty training ground and started the training.
Learning skills from NPCs was different from learning skills from a Skill Book.
This one actually needed me to understand how the Skill worked, kinda like how I was working on mastering my other Skills to use them without System assistance.
It was a time-consuming process, and since there was no help from the Game, it meant that people who didn't have any affinity for it couldn't learn it either. Just like in real life.
Seriously, this mechanism was so lifelike that it was scary sometimes. Just what the fuck was the Gamemaster thinking?
The Battle Aura technique, however, was worth it. It was just like Armament Haki and Touki.
Getting three Skills of the same type, yeah. The more I thought about that, the better the idea seemed to me.
Just the raw stat bonus would help me strike at a level far surpassing my own, perhaps even fight at a level of the higher tier.
It's just that… all these skills, they levelled up too slowly. Even Armament Haki was the same. That said, it was only expected.
Right now, even Active Skills only gave around 500% damage on average, while full-level Armament would give 550% continuous damage as long as it was active.
It was a game changer kind of skill, so it was only fair that it would be harder to level up as it went further.
We trained for the next two hours, after which Sir Ralph had to leave for other work. He was a busy man and had plenty of work to do. He couldn't just stay with me and train me.
I too had an appointment with Kurumi regarding today's hunt, so I cleaned up and left the Knight's Academy and went directly to the inn.
Veena and Rose were already ready by the time I got there.
"How was your training?" Veena asked as we sat down in the dining area, eating together.
"It was good… just not what I was expecting." I explained the process to them. "I couldn't do anything today. I guess it will take time. Mana Manipulation… it's not that easy for someone like me who hasn't had any training with magic."
"Obviously dear. Even prodigies have to start somewhere. I believe you will get the skill soon enough. You have a talent for magic." Veena said, reassuring me.
"Yes. I think you did very well during our lessons together. I haven't seen many people who understand magic that easily, even in Asgard." Rose added, blushing slightly when I looked towards her.
She has been doing that every time our eyes meet.
It was adorable.
"True. I knew it wouldn't be easy to learn skills that easily. I guess I will just have to keep on working."
Since my Shingen-ryū Skill was maxed already, I had some time open up in my schedule. I will assign that time to the Battle Aura training.
"By the way, have you decided where we are going to go for training today?" Rose asked.
"Hmm. During training, I had asked Sir Ralph about where we could hunt safely. He suggested an area. It's a bit away from Greenfrost, and we will have to hire a carriage to go there, but apparently we can find decent monsters there. I even took some missions from the Knight's Academy to complete side by side while we were out there." I said, bringing out the mission slips and showing them.
"These look good." Rose said, taking a look at the posters. "The mission reward is greater than similar missions in Llyne. I wonder how many days it will take to finish."
"One or two days at best. We can always return back at night to rest in Greenfrost." Twenty-five kilometres was nothing for T4, even if they walked and we had a carriage.
"We need to go and meet Kurumi first."
"Hmm, how is she like? And how is this brother of hers?" Veena asked.
I realised that we hadn't told her much about her or her brother apart from the fact that her brother was a Blacksmith with maxed-out skills, since we got caught up in the stories of our date.
Rose went ahead and told her about the meeting, and by the end of it all, there was a surprised expression on Veena's face.
"Did you see her brother?" Veena asked me.
"I… no. He was hiding inside a box."
"How did he sound?" She asked more.
I felt odd at her question but answered nonetheless.
"Girlish. He sounded… quite girlish."
Her eyes widened slightly at this, and I felt that I was missing something. I had felt like this when I was meeting that guy too… as if there was something, just at the back of my head, which I couldn't point a finger at.
Veena looked a bit in thought, and I couldn't help but ask. "Is there something wrong?"
"Hmm… nothing. I might just be overthinking things. The one I am thinking about didn't have any sisters, nor is he someone that would easily trust others, so I guess we will know when we meet this... Kurumi person."
I nodded.
We finished our meal and walked out. Before leaving there, I asked the attendant at the inn to get a carriage ready for us by the gates of the outer city, paying for it.
The attendants of the inn as well as most of the shopkeepers in the inner city knew me by now due to the tournament. It was not everyday that someone got rewarded by the Prince of the Country themselves, not to mention become a City Lord directly.
We reached the place we had decided for the meeting, reached there five minutes early, and waited. A few minutes later, we heard a voice.
"Oh, right on time. I thought I would get late after standing in line to buy breakfast hahahaha." Kurumi laughed but her laugh suddenly stopped as she looked at us… no, I realised that she was looking at Veena with wide eyes.
I took a look at Veena and saw a slight surprise in her eyes too.
Just this was enough to tell me that Kurumi was obviously not someone simple. She was definitely from the supernatural side of things.
What I wasn't expecting were the words that came out of Veena's mouth next.
"I wasn't expecting you to be here too... Stray Devil, Kuroka."
