Chapter 594: Let's go ahead!
Tsukasa was on the bed and thought that even the strongest swordsman in the world wasn't immune to his charm. However, he wouldn't use this chance to do something strange to Edelweiss. He was a gentleman, and he wouldn't force anyone, yet he had to say that this situation was quite weird.
Tomorrow was the final of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and he was sure that Stella was working hard to think how to win and train, even injecting a Lukifer onto her body, so she could become stronger.
Yet here he was, sleeping with a woman who wasn't even his girlfriend.
Honestly, it was impossible for him to sleep.
'But she has a lovely scent.'
The bed in his room wasn't a double bed but a huge bed, which was enough for three or four adults to sleep. Naturally, it was quite big, so they could maintain the distance between them, yet it was hard for him to stay calm, especially when there was such an attractive woman next to him.
While Edelweiss might not be as beautiful as the goddesses in the previous worlds, those goddesses weren't that much different from whores. As long as they were interested, they wouldn't hesitate to open their legs. In other words, they were true to their own desire. However, she was different since she was a virgin, and her status as the strongest swordsman in the world also made his desire to conquer her stronger.
Still, he knew that this was his lust, not love. He was also afraid that his thing might be cut down by her, so it was better not to do anything since her strength wasn't weaker than his. He tried to close his eyes and forced himself to sleep. Unfortunately, he couldn't.
Edelweiss was also in the same situation since instead of comfortably sleeping, she couldn't fall asleep. She could even feel that her heartbeat kept beating and that it seemed that it would burst out. She was helpless and didn't know what to do before she turned and said, "Hey, have you fallen asleep?"
Even though the light was turned off, she could see his figure clearly. He didn't face her but showed his back against her.
"What's wrong?"
However, when he turned and faced her, her heart skipped, and she was so shy.
They were facing each other while lying on the same bed. In this situation, if anyone saw them, they would be flabbergasted and open their eyes wide since no one would expect Edelweiss, the strongest swordsman in the world, would show such a girly reaction.
"Hmm?"
She couldn't say anything for a while before she calmed herself. "Say, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why did you learn to be a swordsman?"
He chuckled since her question was so cute.
"He-Hey, why did you laugh?! It's rude!" She blushed, feeling annoyed.
"Naturally, my reason is different from yours since I don't learn swordsmanship because I want to diet."
Her face reddened, and she hit him several times.
"Sorry, sorry. It hurts!" While it didn't hurt, he needed to act so this way he could hold her hands naturally.
When her fists were caught, she should be able to pull them up, yet she felt so weak and didn't really want to pull them up.
Suddenly, they were caught in a strange ambiguity, which would only happen between a man and a woman.
Unlike Tsukasa, who had gotten used to this kind of situation, it was her first time to encounter something like this, and all she could do was look at him shyly, like a young girl who was eager for the touch of her boyfriend.
He was slightly at a loss, but he realized that even the strongest criminal in the world was still a woman. Still, he hesitated since he didn't know her well. Unlike the goddesses that could open their legs as easily as the one who opened the door, Edelweiss was a virgin, and once they stepped into that relationship, he was afraid that she might be the type of woman who wanted to monopolize him.
"Sor-Sorry."
In the end, he backed down since he felt it was too early for them.
"No, no, it's alright. I-I am the one who was at fault..." She lowered her head and didn't dare to meet him.
He had to say that this woman was so cute. "But I have to say that you're different from what I have imagined."
"Oh? What kind of image do you have of me?" She looked at him curiously, wondering how he viewed her. Many people viewed her as scary or the most fearsome swordsman, but she didn't deny them since her hands were full of blood. Unlike the Edelweiss flower, which meant purity, she was dirty, and it made her wonder whether it was alright for her to bear this feeling toward him.
Yet, she didn't deny it since she knew how she felt about him. However, it was also her first time to feel this feeling, and she wasn't sure how to express it.
"You're one of the most gentle women that I have ever met."
"Gentle? Me?" She was at a loss since she had never heard someone picture her as gentle.
"Isn't it? When we did our duel before, you never thought of killing me, right?"
"Well..."
"Still, what I didn't expect was that you had this cute side of yours." He smiled and said, "And I am glad that I can see it."
".........."
She opened her lips before she closed them again, feeling confused by her emotion since she couldn't control them anymore.
They stared at each other for a while, hesitating until they clearly read their intent.
Naturally, she was too shy to admit that this was her first time, yet as expected, it was hard for her to act like she was a professional, especially when she was a virgin. She closed her eyes and slightly pushed her lips forward.
He didn't hesitate at that moment and took her lips.
When their lips touched, everything seemed natural, and it was like kissing was the reason why lips were created by god.
Before the final of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, he faced a fierce battle, and he had his rematch against the strongest swordsman in the world.
Let's go ahead!
