Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 94: (Player Name) (M)’s Resolve
Claudia looked up at (Player Name) (M) when she heard this.
She noticed that (Player Name) (M)’s eyes were full of sincerity and tenderness, far from the lewd and vulgar gazes of the soldiers.
Eyes are the windows to the soul; they can sometimes reflect many things, especially a person’s deepest thoughts.
However, Claudia did not know that the Blue Star players summoned by the Godhead all had the same clear eyes.
As long as they didn’t deliberately express themselves, it was almost impossible to cross the two worlds and observe their true emotions.
[At least the man in front of me is sincere when he says these things.]
With this thought, Claudia’s body relaxed a bit; she was no longer so tense.
“Let me go first.”
She bit her tender red lips and said softly. Because she had struggled too hard before, there was still a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.
“Then if I let you go, you won’t hit the wall again, right?”
(Player Name) (M) was still a little uneasy. He gently held the girl’s soft waist, reluctant to let go.
Of course, it wasn’t because the young girl’s waist was too soft, smooth, and slippery, and it also contained a surprising elasticity, much like a loli’s face.
After a moment of thought, (Player Name) (M) probably understood why.
Claudia was, after all, a wild mage, without a fixed residence or her own Mage Tower.
She was either on her way to make money or making money, accustomed to rough living, and was naturally not as delicate as ordinary mages.
This… this waist strength is simply divine! ‘~’
(Player Name) (M) was deeply engrossed and couldn’t help but squeeze it a couple more times.
“Bastard! When are you going to let go?”
Feeling the strangeness in her waist, Claudia’s face turned red. She pressed her soft little hands against (Player Name) (M)’s chest and pushed him away with a sudden force.
Caught off guard by Claudia’s push, (Player Name) (M) hit the dungeon’s iron door with his back with a loud clang. He feigned pain, making a grimacing expression.
Seeing (Player Name) (M) in such an embarrassed state, a fleeting hint of apology flashed in Claudia’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of grievance and hatred.
She had only graduated from the Mage Academy not long ago, and less than a month into her travels, she encountered such an outrageous incident. Even if he had only used his fingers, she would never forgive him so easily.
What was wrong with her just pushing him?
She pouted her lips, snorted coldly, and turned her face away.
Seeing Claudia like this, (Player Name) (M) wasn’t angry.
Although he had never been in a relationship, he had played enough dating games to know that Claudia was no longer as vigilant as before.
However, this didn’t mean he could take advantage of the situation; at least, there should be no more physical contact.
You have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and you have to win over a girl’s forgiveness one step at a time.
Haste makes waste.
He couldn’t overstimulate Claudia now, at most he could use words to skirt the edges and “brush” against her.
So (Player Name) (M) didn’t rashly make any inappropriate moves.
He simply squatted obediently beside Claudia and took out the pastries and milk he had prepared in advance.
He had bought them at a bakery in the Inner City.
Although they were not as good as the royal provisions of Winter Fort, they were much tastier than the rye baguettes in the dungeon.
“I know you haven’t been eating well these past few days, and those rye baguettes are probably not very tasty.”
“This is a cake and some milk that I bought specifically for you. Please don’t be polite.”
As (Player Name) (M) spoke, he placed the bag containing the pastries and milk in front of Claudia.
The sweet milky aroma wafted from the pastry bag, causing the girl, who had been filling her stomach with baguettes for sustenance, to wrinkle her cute little nose.
[So… so fragrant, I really want to eat it… but…]
Her pride made her suppress her craving stomach and stare straight ahead, only occasionally glancing sideways at the sweet cake.
“Are you… are you really just going to rely on a cake? Is this the compensation you’re talking about?”
Although her back was turned, (Player Name) (M) could clearly hear the trembling, indignant voice of the girl.
“No, you misunderstood. This cake doesn’t mean anything else. I just want to treat you to it. Do you know why I want to treat you to it?”
“Why?”
“Because I feel like the air becomes sweet as soon as I see you.”
(Player Name) (M) said the cheesy pickup line that he himself found embarrassing, almost spitting out his breakfast.
These words might be disgusting in modern times, but they were undoubtedly effective in Cain.
Claudia’s face immediately turned red, like a burned thermometer, starting from her neck and spreading upwards until her entire cheeks were flushed.
Seeing the effect, (Player Name) (M) immediately struck while the iron was hot.
“Actually, I’m a little scared of you, do you know why?”
“Wh-why?”
Claudia covered her face, somewhat at a loss.
“Because I’m henpecked~”
(Player Name) (M) said with a look of deep affection, a flirtatious and mischievous smile curling at the corner of his lips, with three parts composure, three parts confidence, three parts playfulness, and one part sincerity.
“You… you… I… *whimper*~”
Claudia’s heart was in turmoil, so shy that she couldn’t control herself.
Was this scoundrel confessing to her?
Was this speed a little too fast?
But she felt like she couldn’t get married anymore, as her most precious virginity had been taken by this scoundrel in front of her.
What should she do?
Claudia had not been impacted by modern internet literature, so she had never heard such touching and gushy words before.
These words were too devastating to her.
She had never been in love, and her experience with male-female relationships only came from occasional casual reading and storybooks.
Her emotions were consistent with a normal girl from the Cain Continent and a wild mage who had just entered the world to travel.
(Player Name) (M) had done such an outrageous thing to her. If she had died, she would have died.
But since she didn’t die, he should be responsible for her!
With this thought, Claudia, suppressing her discomfort, stole a glance at (Player Name) (M).
It seemed that the man in front of her wasn’t as bad as she thought, and he was quite handsome…
Should she eat the cake and milk he gave her?
Claudia became more and more conflicted.
…
Half an hour later, (Player Name) (M) left the dungeon with a poker face.
Only after turning a corner did he finally find himself unable to suppress the excitement and clench his hands.
“Yes!!”
(Player Name) (M) shouted, unable to contain his excitement and elation any longer.
He hadn’t been this excited when he successfully pursued his crush in college. Now, he was so excited because an NPC’s attitude had softened. It had to be said that it was a very peculiar thing.
But only (Player Name) (M) knew himself.
Claudia was different from those seductive girls from Blue Star.
She was truly a pure girl, unstained by any pollution, so clean that he felt ashamed, and he was also incredibly moved.
“Even if she’s just data, I accept it!”
(Player Name) (M) muttered to himself, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the defense and love that those otaku had for their paper wives.
Now, he was going to find the King of Winter.
No matter the cost, no matter what conditions were offered; he would try his best to protect Claudia.
