Girlfriend? Isn't this way too fast?

The next morning.

Prince Ganlongdao lay in bed, holding Shiho Manabe's delicate body.

Women were the best way to relieve stress.

Nearly two months.

It had taken all that time for the pressure he'd built up to finally find an outlet.

Just then.

Shiho Manabe opened her bleary eyes. The sunlight shining on them made her a little uncomfortable.

"Hm? Why is the sun so bright?"

"It's almost noon. That's normal, isn't it?"

"Oh."

Shiho Manabe still seemed half-asleep. She rubbed her bleary eyes, then suddenly went pale with shock:

"Noon? It's already that late? I'm going to be late!"

"It's fine. We have the day off today."

At that.

Shiho Manabe breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she stared blankly toward the voice.

Seeing Prince Ganlongdao beside her, yesterday's memories came rushing back.

She only remembered that halfway through, she'd felt as if she were floating on clouds, overwhelmed with pleasure until she lost all memory of what happened and could only let Prince Ganlongdao do as he pleased.

Remembering it.

Shiho Manabe's pretty face flushed red.

She hurriedly pulled the blanket up to cover her face, her heart filled with unease.

She'd only just confessed her feelings.

And on that very day, they'd gone straight to this.

Even Shiho Manabe thought it was a little outrageous.

She'd never imagined she could be that kind of person.

And yet.

She didn't regret it at all.

Thinking of how she'd felt yesterday, as if she'd been sent soaring into the clouds.

Shiho Manabe even felt a little regretful. If only she'd confessed to Prince Ganlongdao sooner.

Of course.

She also knew very well.

The reason her first time had been such a wonderful memory was that Prince Ganlongdao was so experienced.

Thinking of that.

Shiho Manabe sneaked a glance at Prince Ganlongdao beside her.

She said guiltily:

"I'm sorry... Actually... it was my first time."

That was right.

Shiho Manabe was the one apologizing instead.

What she meant was,

she was worried that her inexperience would keep her from giving her partner the best experience,

and wanted to know if Prince Ganlongdao was satisfied with her.

It was rather absurd logic.

But for a self-absorbed gal like Shiho Manabe, who liked to emphasize her femininity, it wasn't hard to understand.

"Pretty good."

Prince Ganlongdao glanced at the marks on the bedsheets.

He thought of Shiho Manabe pretending to be experienced and doing her best to please him.

She really was adorable.

"And besides."

Prince Ganlongdao pulled Shiho Manabe into his arms, resting his chin against her forehead and rubbing it gently, giving her a deep sense of contentment.

"What I like most are innocent women. In my eyes, a beginner like you, who knows nothing, is the best."

"Really?"

Shiho Manabe was instantly moved.

Her snowy-white arms wrapped around Prince Ganlongdao's neck as she pressed her body against him.

After having her first time,

she'd instantly lost all the reserve of a young maiden.

It was mainly because Prince Ganlongdao had made her feel so good yesterday. Shiho Manabe was simply direct and didn't hide how much she liked him.

And yet.

A girl who'd just lost her innocence was bound to feel uneasy.

Lying in Prince Ganlongdao's arms, she asked nervously:

"Prince Brother, do you think I'm easy? I'm really not like that. I just like you so much."

"Shh."

Prince Ganlongdao motioned for her to be quiet.

He picked Shiho Manabe up and had her straddle him.

Prince Ganlongdao looked up and caressed Shiho Manabe's pretty face, guiding her little by little:

"Didn't you promise yesterday? No matter what happens, you'll be my woman for the rest of your life, and only mine."

"The fact that things moved so quickly just shows how deeply we love each other. You gave everything to me, so how could you be an easy woman? Don't ever say that about yourself again."

"Mm."

Shiho Manabe nodded firmly.

Actually.

She didn't even remember what she'd said yesterday.

But Prince Ganlongdao's words made sense to her.

She was only ever going to be with one man. How many women as innocent as she was could there be these days? Who had the right to call her easy?

Shiho Manabe was so touched that she was nearly in tears.

Lying in Prince Ganlongdao's arms, she rubbed her nose against his cheek.

"I promise that no matter what happens, I'll be your woman, Prince Brother, and yours alone. I won't let any other man touch me."

"But, Prince Brother, will you ever leave me?"

"..."

This silly girl was so easy to fool.

Although he'd already made that promise yesterday,

Shiho Manabe clearly hadn't taken it to heart, so naturally, he wouldn't either.

Seeing the expectant look in Shiho Manabe's eyes, Prince Ganlongdao stroked her head.

Then he immediately changed his tune.

"That depends on how you behave."

As he spoke.

Prince Ganlongdao lifted his hips slightly.

Feeling him move.

Shiho Manabe's face flushed, but she made no effort to hide her reaction.

After experiencing it,

she'd completely lost her shyness and grown bolder instead.

Mostly, she was curious.

"Don't worry, I'll be on my best behavior~"

Shiho Manabe lay against Prince Ganlongdao's chest, tracing circles on it with her finger as she said softly:

"But I still don't know how to do anything. Prince Brother, could you teach me more~"

From what she'd observed,

Rika Morofuji and the others didn't seem to have much experience either.

The more she learned,

the more she'd have to brag about.

Come Monday, she'd amaze them all.

"Oh my?"

Prince Ganlongdao brushed the hair beside her ear back with the back of his hand, teasing her:

"You little slut, you want me to train you?"

"Hm?"

Shiho Manabe froze for a moment.

But Prince Ganlongdao didn't seem to be insulting her. It sounded more like playful teasing between lovers.

Realizing that,

Shiho Manabe no longer felt the slightest bit of resistance. She nestled against Prince Ganlongdao and cooed:

"Yes, Prince Brother. Come train me~"

"You said it. You won't regret it?"

"That's right."

Shiho Manabe imitated the coquettish women she'd seen on TV and said sweetly:

"Come on, don't hold back. I'm your woman, Prince Brother. You can do whatever you want to me."

"..."

Prince Ganlongdao stroked her pretty face, his fingertip brushing the corner of her mouth.

He raised an eyebrow and said:

"Then let's start here, shall we?"

"Sure~"

Shiho Manabe gave him a seductive smile.

Her body slid down as well.

This.

She'd only ever read about it in novels.

Prince Ganlongdao leaned back on the bed, his face full of satisfaction as he enjoyed Shiho Manabe's attentions.

After all.

She was just starting to learn, so Shiho Manabe wasn't very skilled.

The real draw was the feeling of domination, which he couldn't get enough of.

With a girl like Shiho Manabe—curious, weak-willed, fond of thinking herself clever, frivolous, and somewhat materialistic—

Prince Ganlongdao was confident.

Within two days,

he could manipulate her into a naive, sweet girl who obeyed his every word.

At the same time.

The system's notification sounded in his mind.
