I Haven't Even Tried, and You're Already Down!?

As an outstanding Marines commander, Gion's biological clock has completely failed today.

When she opened her eyes, it was already noon.

The moment she opened her eyes, memories of last night seemed to flood back like a tidal wave. Gion felt ashamed of that crazy night; she didn't know if she was possessed by a ghost last night, why she dared to be so bold, why she dared to be so wild.

Even though it was his first time, he kept going, as if he were a knight who had tamed a wild beast, swaying and showing off the beast beneath him.

The bed next to her was empty, obviously no one was there anymore, but Gion had heard the noise outside the bedroom and Ortolan humming a tune in a cheerful mood, so she wasn't flustered.

Only after those insane memories faded did Gion truly feel her own pain.

His whole body felt like it was about to fall apart, emanating pain and groans everywhere. This pain and weakness was not the feeling after being injured, but rather the feeling of being overly tired and unable to breathe after a fierce battle.

As an outstanding Marines commander, Gion is extremely powerful and has excellent physical abilities. Even so, he was completely unable to withstand a monster like Ortolan.

"Ugh..." Gion forced herself to sit up from the bed. Even with such a simple movement, she felt her arms trembling and going weak as she supported her body.

Her mouth was parched, as if all the water in her body had been squeezed out last night. All she wanted now was a sip of water.

As if hearing the noise Gion inside the house, the bedroom door was opened, and then Ortolan came in with a cup of hot water.

"You're awake?" Ortolan looked at Gion with some excitement.

In that instant, Gion seemed to sense a deadly threat. In a mere 0.01 seconds, she used her last bit of energy to carefully observe Ortolan's condition!

No, that's not right!

Didn't I hear those Marines girls say that it's only the ox that's worked to death, not the field that's been ruined by plowing?

How come after fighting all night, I'm exhausted and completely worn out, while Ortolan is still full of energy?!

Shouldn't he be the one lying down?

Especially with his excited, gleaming eyes, Gion felt as if Ortolan was about to devour her!

She didn't understand that look before, but after last night's fierce battle, she fully understood what it meant—it was an invitation to fight again!

That bastard, isn't he satisfied yet?!

"Come and drink some water, replenish your fluids..." Ortolan sat down next to Gion and handed Gion a water glass.

Gion didn't care about anything else at this moment. After taking the water glass, she quickly drank it to soothe her throat, which was sore from shouting too much last night.

Meanwhile, seeing Gion drinking water, Ortolan wasn't idle either. He reached one hand under the covers and placed it on Gion's long, fair legs, rubbing them up and down.

Gion could clearly feel that Ortolan's breathing had become much heavier. Startled, she quickly put the water glass on the bedside table, wrapped herself in the blanket, and scrambled to the other side of the bed, looking at Ortolan with a very wary gaze. "What are you doing!?"

Ortolan stared at Gion with a bewildered look, scratching his head. "I... no, you promised me last night that we'd fight again after you woke up today... I..."

Upon hearing this, Gion suddenly recalled some fragments of events, as if such a thing had happened. After the string in her mind snapped, she couldn't take it anymore, but Ortolan still seemed determined to continue the battle for three more rounds. She could only use delaying tactics to appease Ortolan first.

To my surprise, this guy remembered it so clearly!

"Aren't you tired? Don't you feel back pain? Don't your legs feel weak?" Gion swallowed hard, asking somewhat flusteredly.

Ortolan laughed heartily, patting his muscular back muscles. "I've trained so hard, thinking I'd use this strength to compete with the heroes of the sea and claim the title of the World's Strongest. But last night, I suddenly realized that all my diligent training was for a moment like last night! You're worried about me, aren't you? Don't worry, last night was just a warm-up. You know, although I have no experience in this area, my learning ability is famously good. Teacher Zephyr praised me for being smart. So after last night's fierce battle, I've evolved today. I'm definitely stronger than last night. I have a feeling I can fight you for ten days!"

Seeing Ortolan's confident and energetic state, Gion felt only fear!

Ten days!?

She felt like she had just faced death in one night. If she were to fight you for ten days and ten nights, she would definitely not survive!

Especially that bastard Ortolan, he's Steel Bones and Iron Muscles, right? Every time he bends down and crashes into her, Gion feels like she's about to faint!

Although looking back on that feeling now, it was exciting and thrilling, it was also incredibly unbearable!

"I was just joking with you last night. I have no experience either. I feel sore all over, like I'm half dead. Please have mercy on me..." Gion looked at Ortolan with pitiful eyes and begged for mercy.

Ortolan wasn't an inconsiderate fellow. Upon hearing Gion's words, his initial desire softened with tenderness and concern. He said, "These things are naturally consensual, so don't worry. I'm not insisting on anything. Are you hungry? I made lunch... uh... but I haven't cooked in a long time, so my skills are a bit rusty. Just bear with the taste..."

After his father got old, Ortolan took on these family responsibilities. So even though he never did these things in the Marines, it didn't mean he couldn't.

Hearing Ortolan's words, Gion finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling his gentleness, Gion smiled and said, "I don't mind at all. You go out now, I need to get dressed!"

"It's not like I haven't seen it before..." Ortolan said, pursing his lips.

"I'm afraid that if you get too impulsive, it will be troublesome!" Gion Juu said proudly.

Ortolan chuckled, reached out and tapped Gion on the head, but didn't say anything more. He turned and hummed a tune as he left the bedroom.

Gion breathed a sigh of relief when Ortolan closed the door.

However, at this moment, she also felt a pang of heartache. That guy, Ortolan, must have come in with great anticipation and excitement. Unfortunately, she couldn't bear that kind of love. Oh dear, I'm still too weak.

But thinking about it carefully now, even if I really became twice as strong, I still couldn't possibly fight Ortolan for ten days in this kind of situation, could I? That would be suicidal!

Then, Gion recalled what Ortolan had just said, that he didn't have much experience in this area... Yes, it's really impressive. Ortolan is quite popular in the Marines. The young Marines in G-5 have flirted with him quite a bit.

But now that Gion thinks about it, it seems that from beginning to end, Ortolan was able to control himself and never had these kinds of relationships with anyone.

Considering what he just said, even his own Rouge probably hasn't done that before.

"Impossible!" Gion exclaimed immediately.

Damn it, I'm Elite Vice Admiral in the Marines. My strength is unparalleled. In a few years, I might even be able to compete for the Marine Admiral!

In this situation, she was almost unable to get out of bed. How could Rouge, Rouge her delicate and frail appearance, possibly withstand Ortolan?! No way!

The thought of Rouge made Gion's expression complicated. In fact, ever since Rouge came to G-5, Gion had no good feelings towards this vixen, and their meetings were always full of barbs and sarcasm.

But after last night's battle, Gion's mindset has changed slightly... With Ortolan's physique, she probably really couldn't satisfy him on her own... This guy can't do it, even if he were twice as strong, it wouldn't work, even if he ate that Mythical Zoan, it probably wouldn't work, the improvement couldn't be that terrifying!

But this is the first time, so it's fine. But since they've already established a relationship, I can't just not let Ortolan have his fill every time, can I? That would be too much of a jerk!

Perhaps it really is time to bring in foreign players!?

This is due to the influence of the historical context. Gion ultimately lives within the historical context of this world, which is why such thoughts would arise in her mind at this moment.

Just as Gion was lost in these random thoughts, Ortolan's voice came from outside. "Is it ready yet? The food's getting cold~"

The sound snapped Gion back to her senses, clearing her mind of all the jumbled thoughts. Struggling to her weak body, she got up and dressed, saying, "Coming!"

Hmph, we can't let that Rouge get away with this. Besides, with her strength, she'd probably be finished if Ortolan just brandished his weapon a couple of times. She's completely useless. If we really need to find outside help, we need to find someone with strong abilities. Otherwise, how can we withstand it?

Thinking about this, Gion even felt that she could understand why Charlotte Linlin changed husbands so frequently!

You can't be lazy, otherwise it'll break after only a few uses!

How can I have a baby if I'm damaged?!
