I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

Fingel uttered words that sent chills down Eris's spine, yet his smile grew ever brighter.

"And you're a female thief, so you have more places to hide money than men, like your chest... well, your chest is too flat, that might not be good, poor thing."

? ? ? ? ?

Eris instinctively retorted.

"This is unfair!"

“I see... If it’s not smooth, it might be hidden inside the chest.” Fingel’s expression was extremely serious. “It seems we didn’t check it thoroughly enough just now.”

! !

Eris was horrified. "What do you mean? You want to touch me again?"

Driven by a strong will to survive, she had no choice but to say, with great difficulty and sorrow, the words that tore at her heart.

"I...I have a flat chest, so...so please don't touch me."

"Please, let me go! I'll never do it again, sob sob sob."

"Eunice!"

?

Haha.

How amusing, Goddess Eris, your expression truly delights me.

Fingel chuckled, unable to hold back any longer.

You just laughed, didn't you?

Eris's eyes widened... Did this guy not even want to act anymore?

She didn't even dare to shout or confront him directly... otherwise, this bastard might say something like, "Since you've said so, then I'll do it," and do all sorts of things to her.

"I mean I didn't hear you clearly, speak louder."

Fingel's expression immediately changed, and he let out a cold laugh.

He hasn't had enough fun yet!

Although reluctant, Eris succumbed to someone's coercion and had to whisper those shameful words.

"I...I'm flat-chested! What exactly do you want me to say? Are you a pervert? I..."

?

Ok?

Fingel pressed his knees together forcefully, but his involuntary hunching over caused his knees to pierce some unpleasant spots.

"You think you can operate a warship if you're this quiet?! Speak louder!"

I...

Eris's heart raced. The stimulation from her lower body made the young girl's heart race. Even at such close range, she could smell a faint fragrance... Why did it smell so sweet? And for some reason, although she was very urgent, anxious, and aggrieved, she also felt a strange excitement.

'This is...no! Eris, what are you thinking? Are you some kind of awful woman who likes to be coerced?'

but....

Fingel pressed himself close to her body, as if he were lying on top of her. His intense masculine scent gave Eris a feeling she had never experienced before... Yes, her body was experiencing pleasure?

"Hey... what's your name?"

He grabbed Eris's chin and pursed his lips.

“I…I’m called…Chris.”

Eris spoke tremulously, swallowing hard as he did so.

This position is terrible... As a beautiful girl who reads modern comic books in her spare time, she naturally made some strange connections.

"Then I'll say that I, Chris, am a flat-chested, presumptuous female thief who dared to steal Lord Fingel's money. I'm truly sorry."

!!!

How can it be!

Even if I were to die, even if I jumped off this cliff, I would never say such a thing!

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to examine your chest?"

Fingel uttered an extremely evil whisper, like a demon crawling out of resistance, which terrified even the gods.

! !

Eris shamefully chickened out... Goddess? Sorry, I'm not a goddess right now, I'm Chris, an adventurer whose profession is thief.

"I...I, Chris...am...is..."

Eris spoke with a flushed face, unwilling but still having to speak—because that bastard really would make a move.

She had to do this in order to prevent her chastity from being further violated.

so.....

"I, Chris, am a flat-chested, presumptuous female thief. I am truly sorry for daring to steal Lord Fingel's money!"

Okay, okay, how humiliating!

I want to die.

But I can't die.

"Oh, I see. In that case, I won't check your chest."

Fingel nodded seriously, as if to let her go, and Eris breathed a sigh of relief as well.

'I hope... I'm alright?'

However, the next second

She heard an even more terrifying curse.

"Then let's check xx? I've heard that some female thieves hide money in places like that."

?

Eris turned her head with difficulty, looking at him in disbelief—only to see a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"You...you...you could it be..."

Her face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

“Oh right? Let me examine your little x... Anyway, you’ve already admitted you’re a petty thief.” Fingel’s fingers twitched slightly. “I’m going to begin.”

Do not!

"No! You really can't go there! I really didn't hide anything!"

"I was wrong, sob sob sob. I'll give you any amount of money you want, so... please let me go."

Eris begged for mercy, sobbing.

"No, I just want my money, so..."

Fingel shook his head firmly. Under Eris's desperate gaze, he slowly reached his hand to her lower abdomen and gently inserted it—he even felt something slightly wet...?

"That's it!"

"You...you cunning villain! How dare you assault a female adventurer in broad daylight!"

? !

Fingel jolted awake and whirled his head around—only to see a blonde, busty beauty wearing a breastplate and wielding a longsword yelling at him while panting heavily.

'guard?'

'Wait... guards wouldn't be equipped like this, her armor... something feels off?'

'What female knight?'

[Activating....lv1 Appraisal Technique]

[Suspected to be made of the world's strongest alloy material, it is expensive and requires special channels to purchase.]

'His identity must be extraordinary. He might be a local powerful figure?'

Fingel frowned subconsciously; this was getting a bit troublesome.

He had no intention of giving up his identity. He wasn't afraid of being a nobleman; if someone angered him, he could just kill them and leave... but with one hand, all his previous plans would be scrapped.

Moreover, he sensed a strong life force emanating from the other party, and without needing to verify it, he knew that the other party was quite powerful and probably had some inherited bloodline traits.

'Trouble. '

Fingel felt a bit of a headache. This wasn't butter, and there weren't any female knights who would suddenly become incredibly sweet after a single bite. On the contrary, these well-educated female knights were often quite clingy and could cause a lot of trouble.

"Darkness, waaaaah, Darkness, save me!"

"This person...this person is so mean! Not only did he touch me without permission, but he also called me flat-chested!"

Eris, as if seeing a savior, cried and begged for help.

"What?! How could... such a perverted thing be done to a young girl?! It's unbelievable..." the blonde female knight shouted in 'anger,' "Let her go! Take it from me!! Let me take the punishment in her place!"

Darkness was panting heavily, his cheeks flushed, and his hand gripping his weapon was trembling slightly.

?

Are you that angry?

And they know each other?

Fingel frowned... It seemed he had encountered someone who took things seriously, and the two knew each other. If they went too far, he would be in trouble later.

'Although the nobles here don't show their faces much, they still wield considerable power. I'll need to stay in Asekher for the time being.'

Forget it.

Let's leave this guy alone for now... let's pretend nothing happened. Anyway, Eris won't be able to bring up the fact that she's not Chris, but the goddess Eris who helped you reincarnate, right?

In this case...

The wind is blowing!

"Hehe, just kidding, just touching it for fun."

Without lingering, he immediately used illusion magic to conceal his form and ran away as fast as he could.

In theory, this is the wisest choice.

------------------------

Darkness turned pale after Fingel disappeared.

What about people?

Where is that huge perverted man?

'Did they run away?'

'Ugh! Why won't you do this or that to me?!'

Darkness was filled with regret. Had he tried too hard? Had he been misunderstood?

hateful!

It was so hard to find!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Eris let out a mournful cry.
