My next plan is to go with Mazao to investigate the ruins of the Human Bureau’s main base.
The next morning, I found Mazao and Zhu Shi in a park near Saltwater City University.
Both of them had participated in the funeral ceremony yesterday, though only briefly, unlike many demon hunters who intended to participate for three days and nights. In fact, there is no stringent rule forcing all demon hunters to attend the funeral for Impermanence; it’s just a cultural atmosphere that makes quitting midway sowhat frowned upon. Fortunately, for non-headquarters demon hunters like them who are also my close acquaintances, there’s much more flexibility.
Now, Mazao goes to this location in Saltwater City every day to help Zhu Shi with her fifteen-minute daily training before Zhu Shi heads to university for classes. To avoid drawing attention, the training is done in a secluded corner of the park. Breakfast is also eaten here, with Zhu Shi usually buying a breakfast snack and soy milk nearby for Mazao.
I also brought my own breakfast and soy milk, quietly watching Mazao help Zhu Shi complete her training.
Recently, Zhu Shi has been avoiding , probably because she agreed last ti to allow to approach her anyti and anywhere. She might think that I could suddenly lose control and pin her down on the ground. She is soone who takes her promises seriously and obviously doesn’t entirely reject the idea of doing sothing with . Even if I really were to pin her down here unexpectedly, she’d likely just go along with it or might even actively cooperate.
However, she certainly feels uneasy and confused. Especially after the heat of the mont that night has passed, bringing up the subject again isn’t easy for her.
After the training, she and Mazao both ca over to sit and have breakfast together.
Seeing her not knowing where to put her hands, I set down my finished soy milk container and brought up the topic myself, then suggested, "Why don’t we handle it tonight so you don’t have to overthink and worry anymore."
"Tonight, tonight!?" Zhu Shi almost threw her soy milk away.
Mazao nodded in agreent, "Yeah, Zhu Shi, just get it over with Zhuang Cheng. When Zhuang Cheng was sitting over there earlier, I felt like your training suddenly beca unfocused..."
"Do you have other plans tonight? We could do it now as well." I said.
"Now!?" Zhu Shi stood up as if electrocuted from the seat, "Are we doing it outside? What if soone passes by? Even if you are Impermanence and can make everyone around ignore us, you can’t play with that kind of invisible play!"
"No, I didn’t an ’to do it outside,’ and what even is invisible play..." I said, "Then when do you think would be a good ti, tomorrow night?"
Actually, I’m not insisting on doing it; it’s just that seeing Zhu Shi constantly overthinking, I wanted to get it done... No, that sounds like I’m absolving myself too easily.
Perhaps because Mazao is also around, I’m subconsciously seeking so dignified reasoning. Moreover, I think people consud with such thoughts are rather pathetic. I don’t want to beco such a person soday, let alone be seen as such by others. So, in my heart, I admit I’m very much anticipating doing it with Zhu Shi.
"Tomorrow night is still a bit too soon..." Zhu Shi said bashfully, "The day after tomorrow... How about the night after that?"
"The night after tomorrow, are you sure?" I asked deliberately.
"Uh..." Zhu Shi lowered her head, blushing.
Seeing her torn, I unexpectedly felt great joy, like experiencing the thrill of a hunt.
anwhile, I also hoped to remind myself to avoid indulging too much in this childish mindset. This approach is actually playing with a friend’s emotions, and if I wish to interact with Zhu Shi on equal terms, I shouldn’t continue to toy with her like this.
Mazao then questioned thoughtfully, "Can I watch when you do it?"
"—Watch!?" Zhu Shi exclaid again, "Why!"
"Because I also want to do it with Zhuang Cheng, after I grow up a bit more..." Mazao touched her own body. "Before, in the Doomsday Era, I witnessed so very rough and dirty scenes, but I don’t think that’s the right way... The real way shouldn’t be like that, right? So I want to learn from observing your interactions, which would be useful when I do it with Zhuang Cheng in the future."
"No..." Zhu Shi showed an agonized expression, "Mazao, let tell you... n are beasts, aren’t they? If you’re nearby, you might get involved... You don’t want to be caught up at your age, right? What if Senior Brother Zhuang really does it, wouldn’t he beco a pervert? You think that’s perverse too, right?"
"I think... I think that’s sowhat perverse." Mazao hesitated for a mont before looking at , "But if you want now... I’m willing to satisfy you."
"Oh my god..." Zhu Shi covered her face, "Is my life destined to be toyed with by these two at their whim in the future..."
I looked at Mazao and repeated, "Though I’m a pervert, you’re willing to satisfy ."
"Yes." Mazao nodded firmly.
"Just to be clear, I’m not a pervert. Or rather, I’m only a pervert for you. I’m your dedicated pervert." I said.
Zhu Shi widened her eyes at and then said in an almost admiring tone, "You really do like Mazao, huh..."
On Mazao’s face, there was a mix of joy, shyness, and an inability to digest reality.
In the end, she seed to swallow all these emotions, forcing herself to continue after being sated or like compelling herself to stare directly at the noon sun, saying very seriously, "That’s right, Zhuang Cheng really, really likes ."
Of course, the initial agreent still has to be followed; Mazao and I can’t move to that stage yet. After a while, Zhu Shi finally gathered her emotions and reason, then she suggested to .
"I think it’s better for us to take it step by step." She said.
"Step by step, aning?" I asked.
"Even though we are engaged, jumping straight to that would be too ’leapfrog,’ right? You know, we haven’t even kissed yet. When I say step by step, that’s what I an." Zhu Shi said, "We should start with basic contact, touching each other first, then kissing, and finally the deed."
"Makes sense." I said, "So, this would be an adaptive exercise before the official stage begins, right?"
"Exactly, it’s just practice so that when you do things a lover should do with Mazao, you can be more skilled... Wait a minute, am I edging toward the role of soone who steals a best friend’s partner again?" Zhu Shi joked about herself.
I asked, unfazed, "So, where should I start touching you?"
"Hands, right? Lovers start with holding hands... Although we’re just planning to beco spouses, not lovers."
As Zhu Shi spoke, she extended her hand toward .
Then, she seed to fall into self-doubt, muttering to herself, "Huh, is there sothing wrong with that statent...?"
I held her hand and, following her instructions, rubbed and kneaded it like applying hand cream.
Zhu Shi’s hands were very soft with a pinkish white tone, her fingers slender, her skin smooth, and as delicate as if without bones. Although she is a master swordsman, there are no calluses to be felt. After all, as a demon hunter, her recovery ability far surpasses ordinary people, and she relies on mana rather than muscles for strength. Touching her like this, she doesn’t feel like a warrior but rather a princess from sowhere. The hand feel is so comfortable that it seems like I could keep feeling it without getting bored.
"...How is it?" Zhu Shi asked as if to suppress a tickling sensation.
"A bit dull." I spoke my honest feelings.
Although Zhu Shi’s hands were pleasant to the touch, I’ve recently touched Mazao’s hands quite a bit too. Perhaps I’m biased toward Mazao, but I find her hands more enjoyable to touch.
Hearing my specific feedback, Zhu Shi showed a troubled expression, "Ah... So, what should be touched next? Speaking of areas where I’m better than Mazao, the only place that cos to mind is... uh..."
She suddenly realized she had misspoken and quickly closed her mouth, but it was too late. My gaze instinctively moved thirty degrees downward from her face, and Mazao, listening in, couldn’t help but shift her gaze as well.
Zhu Shi also looked down, then swallowed a gulp of saliva, and said, almost whining, "Is it really starting from there?"
"Can I?" I asked earnestly.
Zhu Shi gritted her teeth, straightened her posture, and said with a tense face, "...You can!"
I slowly reached out my hand, my fingers gradually spreading apart.
-
We continued for twenty minutes until Zhu Shi was almost late for her first class of the morning. She picked up her bag and fled in a hurry, nearly tripping over herself, leaving only Mazao and .
I looked at my right hand, recalling the sensations I had repeatedly experienced earlier. To say sothing that might make people laugh, this was a first-ti experience for .
Mazao was also looking at her own hands. With Zhu Shi’s permission, she had joined the activity earlier, touching for no less ti than I did. Now, with a world-refreshed expression on her face, she repeatedly clenched and opened her petite hands.
Then, she sincerely expressed, "This was my first ti touching sothing like that... at least in my mory, it was the first ti.
"No wonder n have such an attitude when ntioning that place; it indeed has an irresistible, magic-like allure... I see now..."
She touched her still slight body, revealing an unwilling expression, "Ugh..."
By the way, Zhu Shi and I have already scheduled our next intimacy thod.
The next ti will be a kiss.
"I also have to be present," Mazao emphasized.
