"…Alright."
When we left the academy and saw only a sparse number of students, Yuuna was the first to speak up.
"I'm sorry." "What for?" "Your talent seemed ridiculous because I ran away."
Did she endure the humiliation of being labeled "Eros Princess" just to apologize for that? But even I would have laughed if my friend's awakening ability turned out to be an Eros collector. I didn't hold it against Yuuna that she had run off.
"If it's funny, then it's okay to laugh. It's true that it's amusing." "It's not like that! Any talent can be improved if nurtured well. Deherit, I'm not sure about that one, though." "Did you wait for me just to say that?"
Yuuna nodded as she explained the reason she mustered up her courage.
"I felt like if I don't say it today, I might never be able to."
Well, that makes sense.
"So, I'm sorry." "It's alright. I'm not hurt. Deherit? I didn't even care what they said."
I just learned that their name was Deherit.
"Weren't you the bravest one there?" "I didn't really know what I was getting into…" "I was impressed." "…Oh, stop it, you're making me blush!"
Ah, such a pleasant atmosphere. The feeling of wanting to be in a relationship wells up inside me.
…That's right! This is what I've been longing for! I wanted to distance myself from things like sensual encounters and perverted talents.
"Kim Sang-hyuk, haven't you changed a lot since before?" "I hear that quite often."
I plan to keep hearing it in the future. Yuuna smiles brightly as she pats me on the back.
"Come to the Academy more often!"
It was a heartwarming moment of a classmate worrying about a student who refuses to attend school.
["Eros Aptitude Assessment" activated]
Wait! Hold on! Stop! Don't show it to me!
[Yuuna Nakamori] [Challenge Rating – C (crossed out) None] [Eros Aptitude Grade A] [Virgin] [Underwear – White panties with a delicate V-line] [Eros Trait (★) – A vibrant aura that boosts energy and stimulates desire ♡] [Class F vice president. She enjoys looking after others and can't stand injustice, with honest emotional expression! An Eros with an energetic charm and an attractive laughter. Her figure is more voluptuous than her modest demeanor suggests]
'I really didn't want to know…'
Whether it was underwear or anything else. Seeing the Eros aptitude of a female student for the first time felt too sacred… I didn't want to see it.
Why don't game creators understand how important the 'mystery' of the opposite sex truly is?
'Anyway, it boosts my energy… How much?'
If Henna has a body that drains energy, is Yuuna the opposite? A body that makes you want to engage repeatedly? If I let my guard down, it felt like I would get aroused right in front of Yuuna.
"…Did you use a skill on me?"
Gasp. Was I caught?
"What is it? What is it? What is it?"
Yuuna approached me.
"It's a newly acquired skill, isn't it? That one!" "… Eros aptitude assessment." "Eros… Pff! Wait! Why are you using that on me?!" "I didn't mean to." "There's no way anything good could come from using that on a person. You're such a fool." "…"
Yuuna's gaze grew increasingly peculiar.
"…Nothing happened, right?" "Well…"
What should I say? As I struggled to find the right words, having reached a point where I could no longer be completely candid, Yuuna continued to probe me.
"What's the aptitude like? Surely it's not D-grade, right?"
D-grade seemed to be universally despised.
"A-grade." "…Again?" "It's an Eros with a vibrant charm…"
I said, and the atmosphere abruptly turned strange.
"Better than having a low grade, I suppose…" "Um… perhaps." "…Ah! I'm not offering myself, so don't get the wrong idea!"
I hadn't entertained such a bizarre, delightful misconception…
"The skill just activated on its own."
It was likely a reaction to the heroine.
"As expected, it's impossible to have an honorable profession with this kind of talent." "No, why would you say something so sad…" "Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." "I'm fine. It's not like you meant it in a bad way, right? A-class! I feel like I've gained a lot by discovering a talent I didn't even know I had!"
It was a truly uplifting, sunlit smile.
