The Cursed Gamer, Book 1

Chapter 73: Peace (1)

Nejire narrowed her eyes at this but said nothing. She wanted to have a hearty talk with Neji about how he should always let the teachers and others help him in a fight, that's if he even jumps in, so that he never faces such a situation again.

But Nejire had noticed how Kimi was holding back from showing her worry, and with Gara back early today, Kimi won't get the chance to vent her worry inside the mansion.

"Oh, okay then, Nejire~ let's go."

Gara ruffled Nejire's hair which the girl didn't like at all and then walked away, and as they went, Neji locked the door and hugged Kimi's neck from behind.

"Hi."

"Are you okay?"

Ignoring his greeting, Kimi asked worriedly with her head turned backwards immediately, her lips thin.

"I heard you were all bloody before..."

Neji slipped in the front seat and sat on the seat beside Kimi before guiding her to sit on his lap, her hands locking on his neck.

Kimi didn't know about the dangers inside the dungeon since every time he came back to the hotels in their journey, he was completely fine because of the health potions and extra sets of clothes inside his inventory. So this was the 2nd time she heard him fight, and 1st time where he was bloody injured.

"I had some magical items that helped me heal, I am fine now."

"Yeah, but..."

Kimi trailed off while Neji's mouth caught her lips. She didn't resist and let his tongue invade her mouth, slowly coiling around her own like a snake. One of his hands lowered and pulled her waist towards him while another grabbed her large breasts. She moaned softly and shuddered in pleasure, enjoying his ethereal touch with heavy breathing.

Finally, he let her go and a string of savila connected their mouths. Neji sucked in the string and again kissed her, this time pushing her on the glass window and touching her under her maid dress.

"S...stop!"

Kimi finally squealed when she got the chance to open her mouth once, and Neji chuckled. He knew she liked it when he did things against her words. After teasing her for a while, he did stop.

Kimi breathed heavily.

"If you go any further then I..."

Neji grinned at her. He didn't mind doing it right now, it would help his stiff body relax. But the matter of fact was that his mother was home, and knowing her, if he spent too much time on the car, she would come to check. So he couldn't help but stop.

"Are your worries gone? I was just proving I am all fine now."

Kimi nodded, her usually pale face red from her neck to ears.

"I am sure you are..."

While Neji laughed she slowly placed her head on his chest, trying to hide her face.

After a long silence, she said, "It's... hard, sometimes, needing to hold back my worries."

Neji shrugged at this. "I mean you don't have to. It's normal for you to get attached to me after spending 2 years out. I would say acting normal is abnormal in this scenario, instead. I am sure my parents would only see it as you caring for me as a sister, or aunt, I guess. You oldey."

Kimi raised her face to meet his eyes, ignoring his joke, she thinned her lips. "But what if Mistress Gara gets suspicious..."

Neji only grinned. "In that case, she would instead be eager to see her grandchildren."

"..."

Kimi didn't want to ruin the moment, but a trail of cheerful laughter left her at that moment.

"Meow..."

Kurai could feel Neji's life force all the time. So at first, when she sensed him getting beaten up, she wanted to jump in his general direction right then, but his life force was barely damaged, and soon it healed too, probably because of a Health Potion. If not for the fact that she suddenly felt his power jump up magnificently, she would have rushed in even then.

Because of that, she was displeased to see Nejire and Gara walking inside the mansion alone. She could sense Neji's presence right around the corner, but he wasn't coming. She was worried, and that old man was probably doing some idiotic things like always.

She was about to rush in, but her aunt, Nejire, caught her midair and started playing with her. Oh, she loved Nejire alright, but she can be very annoying sometimes, this was one of such times.

Luckily, before she decided to blast the mansion with <Hell Fire>, an attack that she made by mixing her Sun God powers and Death God powers, both her parents walked in.

Kimi wore her usual maid outfit, but a strangely happy smile was on her face. Kurai couldn't fathom why her mother would work as a maid, but eh, her mother was still a human and humans were weird. Though it was pleasing to see her bright smile. Then came her father, he yawned and stretched his limbs, looking all tired, but she knew better.

Freeing herself from Nejire, she jumped at Neji who's eyes jumped open as she approached his face. He didn't try to defend, and that annoyed her, she wanted to jumpscare him.

She landed on his left shoulder softly, as light as feather, and licked his cheeks while purring.

"Are you hurt... Otou-san?" She asked, calling him Otou-san instead of 'Pops', as her mother had taught her today morning. She didn't want to call him that, but Kimi had ordered her seriously to be a good girl after she had almost burned the whole garden yesterday using her fire.

This was her punishment for this week.

At her words, her Otou-san stared at her face silently before rubbing his nose with her, suddenly causing her to flinch. She actually liked his touches, it had some kind of calming effect, but not this, it was too sudden.

She tried to jump while purring, but Neji's hands grabbed her mid-air and rubbed her cheek with his.

"Good girl, you're finally becoming a good girl."

She almost went unconscious because of the heat on her cheeks that she forced herself to believe came from the rubbing of two cheeks.
