A notification rang, reassuring him that Mireya had indeed changed her perspective on how she saw him. He was no longer a 'suspicious enemy' but 'someone she has to watch for'.
Even so, it was way better than being antagonized.
"That was close. I was really lucky that I got the skill
He thought it would be wiser for him to lie low instead of looking for trouble. For now.
Drawing another skill and getting another quest sounded nice, but he decided to postpone it right now. His brain wouldn't be able to handle the stress he currently had.
Mentally exhausted, Tom grimaced and stood.
'I guess I'll need a cuddle from the twins to recharge tonight. Nothing too hard, just a cuddle. With hugs and kisses...' He sighed and walked toward the restaurant with a slumping shoulder.
After being pinned, smashed, and dragged by a supernatural woman like Mireya, he didn't want anyone to notice what happened.
The bruises were covered up, thanks to his
, but he felt sore and bruised. A relaxing hug was just the thing he needed right now.He was thinking while walking back to the restaurant.
"I am back."
When Tom returned, Amy and Mary immediately jumped and hugged him. They were already tipsy from drinking with David, his father. Tina, on the other hand, tried her best not to pay any attention to him and scolded David for drinking too much, like a good and strict daughter she was.
Feeling the warmth from his girlfriends, Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief, albeit his arm still hurt from getting squeezed. He loved it, though.
A great sense of relief filled him.

Days flew by. Tom helped his family's restaurant in the kitchen while Amy and Mary worked on the front with Tina. During their free time, they enjoyed the beach and the sun, sometimes swimming together.
As for Mireya...
For some reason, the sealed deity hung around the restaurant every morning. She would eat breakfast before leaving. David always teased Tom whenever the foreign-looking Mireya looked at him.
"My son has become popular with tourists. Don't hesitate and charm her, alright?"
Tom had no idea how to react when David teased him. Mireya was actually a sealed deity, not a tourist. And she was still suspicious of him because he used
Amy and Mary also noticed the girl looking at their boyfriend. However, instead of being defensive, they worked together to tease Tom.
"What a popular man~"
"Hehe, it seems she's interested in you, Tom. And you also always looked at her whenever she glanced at you."
The twins giggled, enjoying their boyfriend's embarrassed face.
Tom had no excuse for his action. Mireya was indeed attractive and hot. Seeing her figure and her swaying hip whenever she walked, he couldn't help but stare.
But the reason behind his stare was different.
'When will she leave me alone? I don't even have the courage to get a new skill when she's around. What if the new quest is related to her? I will be damned.'
Still, the twins misunderstood him and whispered to him.
"You know, Tom... If you fancy her, then I don't mind if you give her some good experience." Amy grinned.
"She's beautiful and hot. It's a waste for her not to have a man like you." Mary added with a sultry voice.
Then, at the same time, in both of his ears, they continued.
"As long as you mess with us after her, then it's fine."
His girlfriends were truly a perverted couple. He sighed and nodded his head, unable to do anything.
"That's not what I meant." Tom grumbled, a little bit depressed.
"Hahaha, whatever you say, love." Amy laughed while Mary patted his shoulder.
"Let's get back to work. Father and Tina are waiting."
They continued to work until night. Just like yesterday, Mireya came again and Tom decided he had enough of that. Her presence only made her listless because he knew even though she was sealed, she had a power far greater than a normal human.
'Fuck it. Let's draw a new skill and see the new quest. I will only feel stressed if I mind her too much.'
After closing the restaurant, he told the girls to return first because he wanted to have time alone. The twins grinned and kissed him before saying good luck and have fun. His father didn't say anything and just returned with Tina. They were already exhausted from the work.
Tom went to a secluded area and activated
─Ding!
[You have obtained skill
'This skill is... perfect to be used with
It was as if all the skill he got was related to one another and not random at all.
From what he knew,
The skill was very powerful and the effect would be immediate once used. It would turn on and off based on his will and the effect would disappear immediately after he turned it off.
Also... With a new skill, naturally there was a new quest.

─Ding!

What an unreasonable quest, just like the usual.
Tom looked up at the sky, questioning the creator of the system. Was it due to the creator's will or because of his

Pondering on his skill, Tom was also excited about trying the new skill. Now, the problem was who should he test it on? The answer was clear.
'Maybe, this will be the best opportunity for me to get rid of her suspicion. I should try
Tom was very determined and not going to lose his chance.
A permission to give her a good experience was given from his understanding girlfriends already. And a good experience was what he would teach the sealed deity.
'Let's find her.'
It was time to finish the new quest again.
