Chapter 127: Interrupted

No doubt, Rin's performance was worthy of a supermodel!

Ryuji had met girls who were sensitive, those who were wet at the slightest touch, and even those who were dripping all over.

But someone like Rin, who was able reach orgasm just by a touching to her thigh? That was a first for him.

You couldn't possibly say this had nothing to do with the heroine of an eroge.

"What's with that look in your eyes?! So rude!"

Rin peeked through the gaps of her fingers, catching sight of the respectful—no, admiring—gaze from Ryuji. She immediately broke character, cheeks flushed in indignation as she puffed up and barked at him.

"And you! What were you even thinking?! I told you you could touch me, but you only went for my legs?! Are you some kind of leg-obsessed pervert?!"

She was clearly unraveling. Though she'd never experienced something like this before, the fact that she'd climaxed just from having her legs touched was mortifying beyond belief. Her pride as a magus and a woman was hanging by a thread.

"Mm, I guess you could say I am a bit of a deviant. My preferences are... quite diverse. But honestly, it's your fault, Rin. Those legs are way too sexy. I can't be blamed—I'm innocent!"

Ryuji reached for her calf again, fingers sliding smoothly along her skin. Damn, beautiful legs really did awaken something primal. Just that alone sent a flood of heat through him.

"Flattery won't distract from the fact that you're just a dirty old man!"

Rin tried to resist. She even kicked at him, but Ryuji had a firm grip on her ankle. Her struggle lacked strength, the kind of half-hearted resistance that looked suspiciously like she didn't really want him to stop. That only made it easier for Ryuji to glide his hand up her thigh again.

"Alright, alright—I'll stop teasing you," Ryuji murmured, leaning in.

He pressed her legs against his body, then swiftly pushed them apart into a revealing M-shape.

Her flushed face, full of embarrassment but not submission, stared up at him.

"Are you really not going to regret this?" he asked seriously.

"What do you think?" she shot back, folding her arms as she glared at him. Her eyes didn't know the meaning of surrender.

"Understood."

Ryuji took a deep breath and slowly placed his fingers against her pussy. Then his lips found hers once more.

His hand moved expertly along her soft folds, tracing her shape and testing her reactions. Rin, caught in the tide of his skillful touches and kisses, she was quickly began to get into the mood.

But—

"Sorry to interrupt, but… zombies are outside. Again."

The door flew open.

Ryuji's who was lying on top of Rin head snapped up, and both he and Rin turned to see Rias and the others standing at the entrance.

Steam was practically coming out of Rin's head in visible waves. Meanwhile, Ryuji noticed the swirling sandstorm behind them—and the shadowy swarm of zombies crawling on the horizon.

"Wait… no interval this time?" he asked, a sinking feeling growing in his chest.

Rias nodded grimly.

"That's right. The moment you came in, they started showing up again. No time buffer this time. Sorry—it's not that we're trying to cockblock you two. It's just that things are really urgent."

She entered the room with her team, and Ryuji silently withdrew from Rin.

Red-faced, Rin pulled her clothes back together and moved to the side. Mai, standing nearby, glanced at her and whispered:

"So… did you test it?"

Rin nodded. She had previously told Mai about what she wanted to experiment with.

"Yes, but the results aren't stable. The moment I stopped feeling 'love' for Ryuji, the return option disappeared. I don't know what other consequences it might bring. So I've decided to use a more traditional method. As for the girl… she'll have to rely on luck."

"Luck, huh…"

Mai looked out at the zombie horde outside, recalling what she had seen during earlier scouting runs, and let out a sigh.

"I've decided… I'm going to do it with Ryuji."

"…Huh?"

Rin's mouth fell open.

She had tested things with Ryuji partly for reconnaissance purposes—but Mai was saying she was going to go through with it?

"Just with my mouth, okay…" Mai muttered, cheeks instantly crimson, her expression caught between embarrassment and frustration.

"I don't know if Andy will mind… I mean, I wanted to save my first for him. The idea that after we finally get together, he'll have to kiss a mouth that's had…sucked another man's thing…"

Her voice trailed off, and her body shuddered visibly.

Rin watched her friend spiral and couldn't help but feel that something was… off.

Not just the fact that Mai was willing to do that—but because this entire conversation was starting to sound way too much like the setup for a classic NTR doujin.

And then there was Mai's outfit…

Honestly, Rin had been holding back for so long.

But this girl's outfit was way too provocative.

It was practically designed with defeat and begging in mind! No underwear, a skintight thong, and cleavage that looked ready to bounce out with a sneeze—what was a guy supposed to think?!

"Can you stop? Seriously. Keep talking like that and I'm going to start thinking you're the main heroine of a cuckold story."

"HUH?!"

Mai yelped, hugging herself as if trying to preserve what little purity she had left.

"My heart and body are for Andy only! I'm not going to fall! Even if I'm forced to… do stuff, I'll still love Andy with all my heart!"

She was really clinging to the childhood friend route hard. Andy—the chosen heir to her family's martial art. The boy she grew up with. It was textbook.

But Rin rolled her eyes.

"You realize the more you say stuff like that, the more it sounds like you're destined to fall into NTR hell, right?!"

"Urusai!"

Mai had been picturing her future wedding with Andy just moments before. But Rin's sharp retort shattered it into an image of her in a wedding dress… beneath Ryuji instead.

She shivered at the image.

Not because she hated Ryuji—but because, for someone as bold on the outside yet reserved on the inside as Mai, the idea of actually doing it was terrifying.

"It looks like your hypothesis was correct," Rias said, her expression unreadable.

She hadn't expected Rin to actually solve Hermione's problem. It didn't help her now, but she was impressed all the same. If Rin weren't from another world, she might've even considered making her a peerage member.

Rin's expression turned serious again.

"Yes. As long as someone develops romantic feelings for Ryuji, the effect triggers. But the issue is, we don't know how our magic interacts with Hermione's system. Our worlds' magics are fundamentally different. And once the hypnosis ends, Ryuji's 'Return' option disappears instantly. We still don't know if that affects the return process."

Rin glanced at Hermione.

If she were just an ordinary person, Rin wouldn't be so concerned. But Hermione's magic was chaotic—no, volatile. It wasn't just mana—it felt like something rooted in her mind. Psychic power? Something else?

She couldn't even understand Hermione's spell books.

She recognized the letters but nothing made sense. The foundation, the activation logic, even the effects… it was like they came from a completely different plane of understanding.

So she couldn't be sure that her own magic wouldn't have dangerous side effects.

"Still… better than letting Ryuji actually go all the way, right?" Rias muttered with a sigh. She'd considered alternatives herself, but hadn't expected this specific solution: that Ryuji's recognition and 'return' would hinge on something as fickle as love.

Mai paled at those words.

"W-What?! If that's true, then I'm in trouble! I only have feelings for Andy!"

Her voice trembled—along with her chest. The resulting gravitational shockwave pulled Ryuji's eyes away from the zombies and toward the impressive boobs bouncing in sync with her panic.

And in that moment, one thought popped into Ryuji's head:

I wonder what titjobs feel like…

He'd never tried one before.
