After regaining all of the memories I had lost with Aoi, I couldn't help but feel the warmth of her embrace much closer than before. I continued hugging her back even tighter, not wanting to forget or lose myself like that ever again.
Almost lost in the warmth of the pink-haired girl, I immediately snapped back and realized that we were still inside the dungeon. So without losing the moment I was having with Aoi, we headed back to the mansion, leaving behind the closed door. This time, it was properly shut with several objects blocking the door from ever being opened.
I know that even blocking the door with several objects and furniture still didn't seem to work, but it still brought a sense of protection to my mind.
Walking back to the waiting room, I found Aoi, who was hugging a pillow with her legs all curled up on the couch. Now that I look closely at her, she seems to be filled with scratches and injuries all over the place.
It amazes me to think that such an innocent girl is remaining calm while being in that condition.
"Before we explain to each other what happened. How about we take a shower first?"
"..um"
Aoi looked at me with her adorable eyes before nodding and following me to the washing room.
As we were taking our clothes off, I noticed how she would get naked and follow after me, as if she was already used to it. It somehow made my heart flutter for her to calmly walk around like that and be horny at the same time.
But for the moment, I knew that this wasn't the time for that, so I properly helped her wash all of her injuries away, and then we relaxed at the hot pool, where all of the remaining injuries were properly healed.
While we were relaxing in the warm, soaking pool, I noticed how she was being more affectionate than usual. She would cling to me and rest her head on my shoulder while remaining silent. She didn't try any other moves on me, or rather, she might have held herself back while we were relaxing, trying to forget what we just went through. And thanks to that, I was feeling rather hot than usual, to the point where I thought I would pass out.
"...Um. I'm getting out first." I said to Aoi as I stood up, "You can still stay here until your injuries are properly healed."
"...Eh?"
And without waiting for a response, I walked out of the washing area and returned to the waiting room, where I sat on the couch and rested my head, facing the ceiling.
After what had happened today, it feels like a lot of time has passed. Especially when I lost my memories of Aoi. It was a roller coaster of turns of events until I realized this was all part of the dungeon's doing.
I remember doing several mazes similar to the ones I fought today, but this sort of turn was something else. Using the disappearances of Aoi to try and trick me mentally.
Just what was the purpose of this challenge?
Well, before coming to a certain conclusion, I should also listen to Aoi's side of the story. I'm sure she mentioned something when she met me. Something about finding the real me.
As I was waiting for Aoi to finish healing her wounds, I heard rustling noises coming from my side. I didn't bother looking away from the ceiling, as this position was rather relaxing. But in the next moment, I felt something sitting on my lap.
"Aoi?"
My view of the ceiling was disrupted by the face of a cute girl with pink hair. She was looking at me with her bashful face and her eyes that were reflecting my image.
I felt my cheeks warm up in a bit of embarrassment as she was looking at me in that sort of position.
"Did your injuries properly heal u— mhp?"
I tried to avoid having Aoi notice that I was actually embarrassed. But before I could finish asking the question, she shut my mouth with a sudden, deep kiss, locking my tongue and lips in the most seductive and lustful way. She was playing around my tongue, sharing and mixing our saliva together for a full five minutes before she separated her lips from me, leaving behind a long string of saliva still connected between us.
"...Aoi?"
"...."
I tried calling out her name in a bit of embarrassment and confusion about her sudden kiss. She was looking at me right now with her red cheeks, as her eyes showed concern and her deep love for me. It was a look that clearly carved my attention.
It was at that moment that I suddenly snapped and decided to break off the silence and embarrassment and start by holding the back of her head in order to go for another lewd kiss.
"Slurp… Schu… Ahn<3…. Nn…"
The wet sounds of our mouths mixing with our saliva were also becoming more aggressive.
"Schu<3…. Nn….Nn…."
She leaned her body closer to me, almost squishing her warm breasts against my chest as she was sitting over my lap, almost rubbing her own panties against my groin. My dick was already twitching, screaming for my help to release it from my clothes. Aoi also had her arms locked around my shoulders, locking our kissing.
"Nn<3…. Slurp…. Ahn... Nn…"
"Schu…. You're being rather aggressive than usual, Aoi…"
"Nn…Slurp… That's because… Nn… of you…. Nn…"
"Is that so… Schu…. Then I shall take responsibility."
Then, upon separating our lips from the steamy kiss we were having, she looked at me with a bashful expression before getting up and taking off my pants, along with my boxers, in the end, revealing a hard rock cock that swung back and forth.
Aoi looked at my cock in awe as it twitched in excitement after we had been teasing one another for several minutes.
After looking at my cock raging in excitement, she gulped down her saliva before coming on top of me once again, her legs spread open. Since she was wearing her shorts, she slightly opened one of the leg holes, revealing the entrance of her pussy, which seemed to be drenched with juices. Then, after aiming my dick carefully at her exposed, drenched pussy, she sat down, slowly lowering her waist, and swallowing my cock whole easily.
"Hnn… Ahn<3…"
She was insanely drenched with love juices, which allowed my dick to quickly go all the way inside rather easily as she lowered her waist all the way down. We were back in the same position, where she would sit on my lap while I relaxed on the couch. And right now, we were enjoying each other's embrace while mixing our hot breaths against our faces.
"Haa… You're so cute…"
"...."
The moment I tried complimenting her cute and seductively embarrassed expression, I felt the walls of her vagina get tighter.
As we locked our eyes together, she relaxed her breathing pattern before slowly waving her ass forward, then backwards. My dick felt the sensation and the tight shape of her hole while she began moving her hips.
"Nn….Nn….Uhn…."
Her back would continue to move continuously, as she was trying to get the feel of my raging cock. She squeezed my penis really tight as my glans were pushing against the mouth of her womb.
"Nn… Ahn<3….Nn…Nn…."
Her hips continued moving viciously, my dick going to the deepest parts and twitching non stop as I felt the rush to ejaculate everything inside. I wanted to resist for as long as I could, but from the way Aoi was trying to milk me dry, it didn't seem I was going to win.
"Nn….Ahn….Nn…."
My dick seemed to be going crazy while it was scraping every part of her vagina. She tightly wrapped her arms around my neck and lowered her face to give me a deep kiss. She was already moaning each time she shook her waist.
"Hmnn… Nn…. Schu… Nn…"
She had me pinned down the whole time, locking her arms around my neck, her ass continuing to dance on my lap, while also giving me a hot, wet kiss the whole time. I felt my dick pulsating even more.
Aoi also didn't leave this unnoticed and began moving even faster, to the point where her ass was clapping against my lap.
"....Slurp… Nn…Nnn… Ahn...Schu… Ahnnnnnn!!!~…."
"Hmmmn!~~~~"
And as her pacing continued to increase, I felt a rushing feeling coming at the tip of my dick until I ejaculated everything at the deepest part of her womb. My dick pulsated like crazy while cumming inside her as I felt her walls constantly respond by getting tighter.
"Haaaa…..haaaa….haaaa…."
"Haa….haaa….haaa…"
After both of us had reached climax, Aoi almost bit my tongue as she felt her body spasm from the sensation she was feeling. She then separated her lips from mine, leaving behind saliva all over our mouths, dripping from the mess we were making. After that, she laid her head on my shoulders while my dick remained inside her, twitching from ejaculating.
Her body was really warm, and I could actually hear her heartbeats.
After what I would say was around ten minutes of her laying relaxed on my lap while also wrapping her arms around my neck and her head facing on my shoulder, I decided to break the ice.
"Are you okay?"
"...Nn." She let out a muffled moaning sound, not bothering to lift her face from my shoulders to speak.
I thought that she was still relaxing after having an intense orgasm, and she felt really sensitive. However, my dick had already gone limp inside her vagina.
Ever since she got out of the dungeon, she has been acting clingier than usual. I had already considered that something traumatizing must've happened to her in the dungeon. However, I don't think I can help her unless she tells me her side of the story.
"You don't need to force yourself or try to avoid this sort of conversation about what happened inside the dungeon."
"...."
"Behind that door is something that always tries to play tricks on you. So whatever happened on your side of the dungeon... is not real."
"..."
"I know it's funny coming from someone like me, but you gotta stay strong and forget what happened in there. Even if it hurts you on the inside, it's the only way someone can stay sane in here. But this time, you are not alone like I was in the past. You have someone by your side who is willing to do anything to keep you safe. I can give you an ear to listen to your worries. It's the only thing I can do."
Aoi remained silent for the following seconds before her arms became tighter around me.
"...Hehe… you're horrible at trying to reassure someone." She let out a cute little giggle as she responded to me.
"What can I say? The only person I've had the chance to talk to was none other than my thoughts. It's not like I had any chance of trying to comfort someone else until now. And I know this might sound a bit cringy to you. But in your case, you don't need to go through what I did, because in the end, you still have someone here to talk to."
Aoi seemed quiet at first, but after a moment of silence, she decided to slowly stand up. My half-erect penis, which was still inside her pussy, also fell out, causing all of the cum she had gathered in her womb to also drip out.
"...Nn."
She let out a small cute moan from being sensitive, and her womb released all of my accumulated cum. But after a few more seconds, she sat right beside me and laid her head on my shoulder. Then, after relaxing for another few seconds, she decided to speak.
"…I was back home."
"Eh?"
I was thinking that she might've had something similar to my situation, where she would forget about something. But to think that the dungeon behind the door would send her back home?
Why didn't the dungeon also do that sort of trick to me as well? Even if it was another sort of illusion.
"At first, I thought I was in a dream because something didn't feel right when I was with my parents. The way they treated me and the way they acted were very different."
"Were they hostile?"
"...no… the opposite. They were really kind to me. And there wasn't a moment where I wouldn't see them smile. I was truly happy to see them like that once in my life. But even those few days I spent there quickly turned into a mess when my parents began getting more aggressive. They were yelling and fighting one another with whatever they could… And once my dad reached his limit, he… he tried coming after me."
Aoi has told me before about how her parents weren't always supportive of her due to her unnatural pink-colored hair. And from where Aoi was leading her part of the story, it seemed like she had to fight her own father.
"I know that I said this before, but what you fought there weren't your parents. They were monsters and illusions created by the dungeon."
Aoi shook her head before cuddling her face at the side of my shoulder.
"I couldn't fight my dad even if I wanted to…"
"Then did you run away?"
"No… you appeared…"
I remained silent for a few more seconds as I thought about what Aoi just said right now. I thought that this dungeon couldn't get any nastier than it has already done right now. But to go a step further and cause this much trauma to her by adding fuel constantly... Now I understand why she was so glad that she met me in the mirror.
"I hope that I— No, that version of me didn't hurt you…"
I also had to kill another version of Aoi as well. Just recalling the way she acted when I was trying to interrogate her made me really angry.
"Since a version of me appeared on your side, then I'm assuming that you won."
"...Yes. But you were way too strong for me. I couldn't even land a hit on you, let alone defeat you. It was almost like we were sparring."
I also think that if I had to go all out on Aoi, she wouldn't be able to stand a chance. So how did she manage to get past that version of me?
"Then how did you…?"
"...."
Aoi looked to her side in embarrassment, her cheeks going slightly red.
"...I flashed…h..m"
"What?"
"I said that I f-flashed my chest to that version of you."
My eyes widened in astonishment at the unexpected response I got from Aoi.
"I figured that if that version of you was identical, then I figured I could distract him while fighting him half naked…"
"...."
I wasn't sure how to respond to her. To think that she would use this sort of thing to trick that version of me.
"Ahem… Then what happened after that?"
"Ah, yes. Once I managed to defeat that version of you, I found myself in a weird garden full of mirrors. That's where I found you."
So to conclude everything, Aoi was challenged with the sense of being home, then everything turned upside down the moment she found happiness. That's when her father was about to kill her. But before she could die, a version of me appeared and finished her father off, only to try and mess with Aoi and trap her in there until she would at least land a hit and defeat me.
After we both sorted out what had happened, we decided to comfort each other by cuddling on the same couch we had sex. Then, after my penis regained its energy, I got up, and Princess carried Aoi.
"..Eh? Kya!"
"Tonight, I won't let you sleep at all."
A bit startled by my sudden excitement, she looked at me before shyly looking away to hide her embarrassment. And from what I could see, she was fine with the idea of us having sex all night.
"...Okay."
* * *
Some time continued to pass by ever since the last incident we had behind the door. No monsters or any sort of challenge had been forced on us yet. However, that didn't stop me from constantly checking on the special door that led to a dungeon. It was better to be sure than to wait for another surprise challenge.
In the meantime, Aoi's continued training daily with practicing the whip sword and many ways she could use it. We also used the internet to find some sort of technique or creative way to use it. But to our dismay, the whip-sword users on the internet were so rare that we had to rely on some movies for special movements.
And despite being techniques made with CGI, Aoi could somehow implement them into her own technique. Her talent left me speechless.
No wonder she defeated that version of me. Even though she had to flash her boobs in order to nerf her opponent. After all, her breasts are the perfect size for a cute girl at her age.
During our breaks, we would spend most of our time fooling around. Such as either watching movies together, spending time in the garden, or simply going at it and having sex for many hours.
We soon planned on re-entering through the special door and seeing what lay ahead as the next challenge. But Aoi needed to improve her technique a bit more before she could regain her confidence for a harder challenge. That's why I gave her as much time as she needed.
Today was the same case as well. As I was watching her from a distance, I saw how Aoi was conceiving on her blade while keeping her eyes shut the whole time.
At that sight, I couldn't help but softly smile before leaving Aoi to do her own stuff. I'm sure that she would get distracted if she noticed that I was watching her the whole time.
In the meantime, I decided to head back to my own room and play a game that I hadn't touched in a while on my computer.
I quickly climbed the stairs to the second floor of the mansion and headed for my room. But right as I opened the door, I noticed someone standing in the middle of the room motionless.
She was a young woman with long, black hair that cascaded down her back, elegantly tied in a ponytail. Her emerald-green eyes bore a sharp and narrowed gaze. She was wearing a black high school uniform with a short skirt that matched her t-shirt, which also showcased her slender and curved body. Her chest was also a bit larger than Aoi's, which showed her features as a woman as well. In terms of height, she stood almost ten centimeters taller than Aoi.
The girl who was standing motionless quickly noticed my presence, which caused her eyes to narrow and look at me.
"Who are you…. And where am I?" She inquired in a stern tone.
