Chapter 17

Looking at Iori's sleeping face, a smile formed on my lips. I moved the strands of hair on her face aside and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Now to check my notifications..." I mumbled and checked what I got from having sex with Iori. These were the notifications that popped out, and I had ignored them.

[Achievement- (Deflowered)

Awarded for having sex with a virgin for the first time. Rewards perk: Innocence Lost

(V Card Lost)

Congratulations! You are now a man and can step on the path of pleasing many women. Rewards perk Tender Care]

[Perks - Hidden perk revealed: (Motion of the Ocean) - Congratulations on having met the requirement to unlock this Perk's specific information. You have been bestowed knowledge by your goddess that will allow you to please women with greater efficacy. Including, but not limited to, kissing, sex, and cunnilingus. "I couldn't have my champion bumbling around when he's supposed to be pleasing his ladies. Now could I? Fufufufu~."

(Innocence Lost)- It allows the host to instantly deduce if a female is a virgin through an instinctive 6th sense. The host has an increased affection gain with virgins.

(Tender Care) - Deflowering a virgin will now involve less pain, and allow faster recovery from penetration, for your lover.]

"So that was why I felt like I had a font of sexual knowledge, even though I never have engaged in such activities. Tch, really goddess, you don't know how I would have performed." 

["Yes I do"] A screen popped up in front of me, interrupting my musings. 

"Whoa, you can hear me right now???.... Goddess???.... sigh. Great, she only talks to me when she feels like it."

Well, nothing I can do about it for now. Let's continue looking at what I got. 

Pleasing many women... Huh.

I pondered. I gained two perks, and revealed a hidden one, by having sex with Iori. My new gains are mostly effective for virgins... Also, there is this sixth sense to easily know when a woman is a virgin as well.

It's not like I'm discriminating against women that aren't virgins. Even though she has a daughter, I intend to have Yasuko as my second girl...

Not to mention that having a harem is the only solution I have to level up for now. I now know that I will gain Exp if I have sex, based on the 5000 point increase. Now I just need to know what changes when I have sex with the same person again, as well as the first time with a girl that isn't a virgin. I should find out sometime soon, so it's nothing to worry about...

Now, having a harem in a country where polygamy is not legal will be difficult. I didn't even tell Iori about having a harem just yet, and I'm sure it will be hard for her to accept it but Iori is an understanding woman, I know it...

Even if she does agree... I'm not sure if the other girls that I meet in the future, will accept it right away. Especially girls that are possessive and needy.

"Also, Kouko... I really need to talk to her about things. I'm sure she wants to talk to me as well. But I already have Iori..." I looked at my sleeping lover with a contented smile on her face, she was always there with me despite not knowing each other yet and took care of me at the hospital...

Also, what if Kouko wanted to be in a relationship with me again? To be honest, now that I know the truth, what I feel to her right now is complicated. I know this feeling inside me will return but not as it used to be... Also the guilt I feel right now to what she did for me. Sigh... Time will heal us and all we just need is to talk...

She has been through a lot because of me. I admit it. I overreacted and caused myself to fall into a spiral of misunderstanding. But, I will still have my revenge against that guy.

Everything has already happened, and time won't turn back anymore. I will let fate decide what will happen to us. For now, I will do my best to get stronger and protect my girl, or girls, from ridiculous people.

Why am I thinking in advance? I must have gained a skill called [Foreshadowing]. I smile at my moment of levity.

All jokes aside, I should sleep. I will tell Iori the truth tomorrow. It's better to tell her sooner rather than later.

Currently, both Iori and Saeki are back in his room after taking a bath. They are facing each other right now, with Iori waiting for what Saeki is about to say.

Shiina and Yasuko are still asleep. So, this will be a good opportunity for him to tell his lover about himself. But, Saeki still felt anxious about whether she will accept or not.

"I have to tell you something Iori... I will understand if you get mad, but..." Saeki said while both of them held their hands, a tense atmosphere accompanied them.

"Calm down Saeki... Where is the man that was very confident? The one who claimed me last night?" As expected of Iori, she is very optimistic and understanding. Even with the help of the [Warrior's Resolve Lvl (MAX)(Currently Half Effectiveness)] passive skill, he still felt nervous. But with Iori's loving smile in front of him, he managed to settle down. He took a breath, and exhaled, before giving her a smile.

Saeki spoke "Iori... How would you feel, if I told you I have another woman?"

Iori showed slight shock in her expression but still answered with her natural tone."Saeki-Kun, how would you feel, if I have another man?" she asked back, increasing her grip on my hands.

Saeki immediately shook his head, denying right away and answered "It will hurt me, and... I don't want it..."

Nodding her head, a tiny smile appeared on her lips and replied "Then that is also what I would feel..."

Saeki sighed, his lips parted and he was about to talk again, but Iori intercepted "Unless... You have a reason, Saeki-Kun." With scowling eyes, she stared at him sharply.

Hearing what she said, Saeki's heart was beating rapidly. It's apparent she is giving him a chance to explain. His hands trembled, while still holding hers. He mustered his courage to tell her.

"Would you believe me, if I said that the more women with me... The stronger I will become?"

Iori slightly tilted her head, showing a puzzled expression about what he said. So, Saeki let go of her hand and walked towards his cabinet.

"Just watch... Iori."

Using his index and thumb. Saeki lifted the cabinet effortlessly like a feather. Iori's calm face now showed a surprise with mouth agape. Then her gazed landed on him, showing that she demanded some answers. "Now... You really have to tell me... Saeki-Kun."

Smiling, Saeki used the maximum amount of speed that he can muster, immediately arriving in front of her. Leading to an astonished Iori once again.

"It's not just that... You also have noticed that my appearance changed greatly, right?"
