Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"Of course, but I'm still thinking about where we'll sleep tonight. We can't have a bunch of people sleeping in the living room."

"Isn't that simple? Let Cecilia and Lilith move to another building, and then Hiti can sleep with Ivina."

Two guilty fellows deserve a severe punishment.

"That makes sense."

"Alright, that's settled then."

After Natalie finished speaking, she completely lost her strength and collapsed into Rhodes's arms.

The sudden increase in the girl's weight did not overwhelm Rhodes, after all, having been promoted four times, he would not be injured by such a degree.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that... Natalie's body is really soft, as soft as a little white steamed bun. When she curls up and hugs him, she looks even more like a cat.

After all, cats are liquid, and apart from being a bit warmer, they're practically boneless.

Well, the key point is still the feeling of not having bones, right?

Unlike Ivina, Natalie was exceptionally generous.

Natalie reached out and pulled the blanket next to her over, tucking them both into the blankets.

Suddenly, the entire space became pitch black.

The perception of sight was no longer effective, but the stuffy heat of breathing seemed even more pronounced.

"Chirp."

Natalie suddenly leaned close to Rhodes' ear and gently bit his ear, while her thigh softly rubbed against him.

Hey?

Rod felt his ears getting wet and immediately said, "Wait, you're not being honest."

“It’s still afternoon.” Rhodes thought for a moment, then quickly added.

"So what?"

"?"

Very good, Natalie, you're the first person to say that to me.

However, I don't have the desire to attack right now, so I'll let you go for the time being.

"Rhodes".

Suddenly, Natalie's voice became much weaker, and she pressed her face directly against his chest, listening to his heartbeat;

Hearing Natalie's tone, Rodben's aroused emotions quickly subsided, and he reached out to hug her.

"I'm here."

"I like you."

"That's not how it works. You should gradually increase your affection for Muli, and then tell her you like me when you're at the peak of your affection."

"Huh? What do you mean by 'corner'? But I think I understand what you mean... It's because I've told you 'I like you' so many times, but you never seem to care."

The words fell.

This sentence is as sharp as a knife.

Rhodes' eyes trembled slightly.

I'm sorry, Natalie.

Honestly, no one who plays games like Ga La Ge Mu would think about so many things. When he played the game, he only thought about quickly completing one main storyline and then switching to another.

But when the profound love appeared before his eyes, Rhodes' heart was indeed heavy.

That's why he tried to make Lilith more sensible so that everyone could have a good ending.

After all, in the first playthrough, his actions as a "player" were indeed quite wrong—at least he couldn't be so foolish as to blame all those mistakes on Lilith.

He knew very well that although the girls hated Lilith, they also hated him for not being able to fulfill their love.

Natalie is alright, but Felicity has become half-darkened.

So he didn't really dare to imagine what other people's situations were like... He could only turn his attention to the present and try his best to do the things in front of him well.

"So, what do you want?"

"In this life, you hate Lilith's hypocrisy, so... could you look at me a little more and choose me a little more?"

I don't mean to possess you, I just mean that at least two out of seven days a week, I can sleep next to you.

I want to feel your warmth, and I want to stay with you forever.

I know many people need you, but I just can't control myself. I'm sorry.

That's so similar to what Felicity said.

But that's to be expected, given how good their relationship is.

Thinking about this, Rhodes felt a little irritated.

After all, Natalie doesn't know about Felicity's situation yet... and who knows how she'll feel when she finds out.

It's a good thing that my dull and clueless friend has finally come to her senses, but the fact that the person she's interested in is someone she likes is just too much for her.

Rhodes remained silent in thought, while Natalie's grip tightened.

Natalie, however, is not like Felicity in this respect.

During the time Rhodes was silent, she was neither anxious nor did she think that Rhodes was unwilling to respond to her feelings.

Because she was already used to Rhodes's avoidance, for her, simply holding him here while he was silent was enough...

Even if it's just a little bit of money, it's still something...

but.

Is it really possible that's all there is to it?

Human greed can never be hidden.

Even if you're thinking to yourself, "A third prize would be great," when you enter the lottery, who doesn't also dream of winning the grand prize?

Natalie is the same way.

Cowardly, cautious, and greedily fantasizing.

Even when she's greedily enjoying the present, she's still thinking about having a bigger future, isn't that how it is?

Her eyes secretly glanced upwards, even when pressed against Rod's chest, her eyes practically bulged out.

but--

Rhodes responded only softly:

I will not make promises that I cannot keep.

"..."

As she finished speaking, a disappointed smile appeared on Natalie's face, but she didn't say anything.

Right.

The girl's disappointment was undeniable; at least, her labored breathing made it clearly visible to Rhodes.

But at that very moment, Rhodes merely pinched Natalie's waist lightly, then smiled faintly:

"However, although I am not very capable, I can promise you a happy future."

Rhodes' words fell again.

Chapter 135 Natalie Who Wants to Eat Rhodes

"The reason I can't promise you anything else is because these things need to be discussed together."

Everyone should have their own value.

I'm not saying I'm anything special... or rather, it's because I'm still too stupid that people need to think about this.

But anyway, well, I've made up my mind.

"Have you made up your mind...?"

"I've made a decision that will satisfy you."

"..."

Natalie was stunned for a long time after hearing those words.

The unprecedented promises and emotional fulfillment flooded her mind at that moment, leaving her feeling as if she had a mental block.

That's only natural... After struggling for a long time without success, a normal person wouldn't react immediately, right?

“Hey,” Natalie said, “you can’t just say things like that so casually?”

"I'm not just saying this casually. Don't you understand my personality?"

"fraud……"

"Where did I lie to you?"

“…Pig.” Natalie had already started rambling incoherently.

"what?"

"I don't care, you're just a pig."

"Alright, alright, I'll be the one. The adorable High Priestess who's currently hugging a pig."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't embarrassment, but rather that the girl's heart was calming down, and Rhodes was giving her time.

It takes about ten seconds.

"You'll buy me whatever I want?"

"Such a small problem."

"I want to go on a date with you."
