Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

"Oh? That makes sense, you're quite knowledgeable about history..."

“No.” Lilith shook her head. “It wasn’t from history, it was from the previous Star God.”

"Contaminated with blood, a celestial blood disaster, this person is named Adeline Field, she is..."

Lilith stopped again.

"Why do you keep pausing when you speak? This isn't like you."

"It is not……"

She was a little awkward, but she still said, "Actually, this being is the older sister of the previous Star God."

This is a big problem.

Super big.

In particular, if Ivina has the possibility of [Soul Reboot].

Doesn't this mean that Ivina has become her elder?

Are you kidding me? This immature girl being her elder... she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was really wrong.

Moreover, the biggest problem isn't that, it's Cecilia.

Cecilia is Ivina's twin soul, so if Ivina is her elder, wouldn't Cecilia also be considered an elder?

That's absolutely not going to work!

"Isn't this a good thing?" Rhodes raised an eyebrow. "No wonder Ivina was able to hold the Heavenly Star Bow without getting hurt. If this girl is your master's sister, she can't possibly be a bad person."

“What’s so good about it…” Lilith lowered her head and murmured softly, then looked up and said, “Let’s wait until she wakes up to talk about it. There’s no way to figure out anything else.”

"In short, the goal for tonight has been successfully achieved."

"The Celestial Bow has been returned to the temple. My power has been restored and upgraded seven times. Moreover, Valerie has agreed to hand over the leadership of the divine sacrifice to me."

"If I'm not mistaken, the news will be buzzing about it first thing tomorrow morning."

She held up her fingers and counted, saying, "What about the emergence of the fifth pope to stabilize the situation, and the divine sacrifices will be held even more perfectly?"

“Those people in the capital, and Valerie, they just love to exaggerate things.”

"Of course it is. The most crucial thing is that the witch suffered heavy losses this time. A large number of her core forces were killed by you, and only one Abomination escaped. Cecilia and the others must be extremely annoyed."

"Report complete, and then... it's time to sleep, Rhodes."

The conversation suddenly shifted, or rather, Lilith finally revealed her true intentions.

All that rambling and useless talk before was just to prepare myself mentally for saying this.

[I finally get to spend some time alone with Rod. We couldn't sleep together last night, but surely we can do it today?]

After Rhodes woke up, she had already firmly given herself a mental suggestion.

"Sleep? I just woke up."

"..." She looked away, pursed her lips, and behind her blue hair, the tips of her ears turned a blood-red hue.

Rod chuckled softly, "Fine, I won't tease you anymore."

"Consider this a reward, Lilith. We did a great job on this mission."

"If all that's left is to seize the Demon God's position, then Cecilia and the others will be trapped in a dead end with no way out."

"Next, I would like to ask the fifth pope, who has been promoted seven times, to protect everyone."

He shifted his body slightly to make room for her where he had just been lying, and at the same time reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The beds in the church are actually single beds, not very spacious. It would be very crowded if two people were to huddle together.

I guess I'll just have to hold him while sleeping...

"I'll go to bed by myself..."

Lilith broke free from Rhodes's grip on her wrist, obediently bent down to take off her wool boots, and then used her left knee to prop herself up on the bed before climbing onto it.

After snuggling into Rod's warm bed, her breathing became much warmer.

After covering herself completely with the blanket, she shifted her body slightly and cautiously reached out, her fingertips gently tugging at his waist.

Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of arrogant indifference: "Actually, even if I hadn't regained my strength, you and Ivina would be able to protect yourselves as you are now."

"Two people have been promoted six times. Our team is strong enough."

"It's so-so, not good enough. After I wake up tomorrow morning, I need to go to the military headquarters to exchange for items, get the link scroll that has been upgraded four times, and then buy you a tail on the way."

"what……?"

Lilith's body stiffened instantly.

No.

Why did you have to veer off to the tail when you were just talking about getting stronger?

Most importantly, Rhodes actually memorized it by heart...

She felt a pang of regret for revealing the fact that such a prop existed in the capital. The heat and embarrassment she felt made her bury her head deeper under the covers, trying to conceal her emotions.

Lilith is always like this.

Or rather, it's the same in both this life and the previous one.

When someone is truly in a good mood and happy, even if they don't want to say it, their actions will still make them seem adorable.

This is why Rhodes believed at the end of his first playthrough that the affection level must be maxed out.

Because anyone would think it was just shyness after being full, right? It's really not his fault...

Of course, that's true. Her favorability rating was really full, but in the end, she still couldn't even say a word.

Rhodes felt a bit choked up thinking about this, to the point that he wanted to tease Lilith a little.

He shifted his body slightly, turned to the side, and pulled her into his arms.

Although Lilith is 1.6 meters tall, she still looks too petite in Rhodes' arms.

Her fingers gripped his shirt, but her cheek rested against it, deliberately muffled.

"Did you hear that?"

"Tail, tail, hmm, we'll talk about it later."

"I will definitely buy it."

Rhodes said this with unwavering conviction.

There was no way around it; after touching the dragon god's tail, he realized how interesting it was to have a tail that could be installed and removed at will.

Not only can it perfectly express the highs and lows of emotions, but when happy, it can shake off his hand, and when unhappy, it can droop down like a snake.

And when you're holding him, he can reach behind him to play with his tail...

Why don't we just buy a few more then? We can rotate them.

As Rhodes was lost in pleasant thoughts, Lilith gripped his hand even tighter.

"We finally managed to sleep together, so let's not talk about what we need to do next... Talking about the future will only increase our anxiety."

She wanted to deliberately erase Rhodes's memories again.

“Okay.” Rod patted her on the back.

Lilith's back skin appeared delicate and smooth to the touch, especially considering her petite frame, and her graceful, fish-like back was undulating and smooth to the touch.

Lilith wasn't as thin as Ivina; at least, Rhodes could sense that if he wanted to, he could definitely pinch out a small piece of flesh.

"Ah."

The two of them closed their eyes.

But my heartbeat didn't calm down at all.

When they are embracing each other, the sound of each other's heartbeats resonates with their own. This is the feeling for both Rhodes and Lilith.

It was precisely because they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats that they were even more certain that neither of them intended to fall asleep so easily.

The two of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Of course, they weren't looking at each other, so naturally they couldn't see each other's open eyes.

However, Lilith's voice still came from the edge of the blankets:

"Yes, what is it...?"

She was clearly asking Rod what he wanted to do, but her hand was actually tugging at his clothes, giving the impression of demanding something.

The issue of inconsistency between words and actions.

Rhodes lifted her body slightly upwards, and instantly, Lilith's face emerged from under the covers, their eyes meeting.

When eyes meet, the heartbeat is what makes people most awkward and touched.

Because through the eyes, all you can see is the other person's overflowing emotions.

Rhodes knew that if he didn't speak directly, Lilith would drag things out for a long time, awkwardly saying those things to him before finally mustering the courage.

It's certainly a good thing to train her willpower to speak, but sometimes doing it all the time isn't good either.

so……

Without much hesitation or word, he brought his face close to her lips and kissed hers.

"Well……!"

Lilith was startled by this abrupt and unannounced action, her eyes widening slightly.

They kissed.

He didn't say a word at all, how could he suddenly do this...?

No, this seems to be the normal way, right?

Normal couples just want to be affectionate, and that's it...

In fact, if Rhodes were to do this on his own initiative, she would never refuse.

What you say, what you think, and even your body's instincts are completely different.
