I'm Not a Flame-Chaser - Chapter 502

No, no, no, what Lin wants to ask is how things developed into this?

Shouldn't this be a wonderful day, with everyone gathered together for a reunion dinner, and then Lin could send red envelopes to Pardo and Griseo the next day, go out together to find a place to have fun, reflect on life, and enjoy the present moment?

Why did it turn into a bedroom, living room, and guest room with three girls in various positions and positions lying there with him after doing this and that, as if an achievement had been unlocked and there was a memory hall where he could review CGs?

Not just Sakura, even Eden...

No, absolutely not! That's all for tonight! We'll deal with these troublesome relationships after tonight... no, after the Spring Festival!

"I think I'll just... go sleep in the bathroom."

Lin hesitated for a long time before speaking to Eden, who had her eyes closed. Eden opened her eyes, her golden pupils filled with laughter, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright then, but..." She didn't stop him, but just as Lin was about to leave, she reached out and grabbed his hands, her fingers delicately slipping between his fingers, interlocking with his, her thumbs lightly tickling his palms, and when Lin felt a tingling sensation in his heart, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips.

"Let me 'clean up' for you first, and then you can have some... 'cream wine'."

Lin felt a slight tremor in his heart as he watched Eden, a smile on his face, shrink into the blankets...

"Huff... huff... huff..."

"Splash..."

Cold water was poured over Lin's head, and he shivered as he leaned against the wall with one hand, extinguishing the fire that had almost been rekindled in his heart.

What exactly went wrong?

Was he unable to distinguish between dream and reality in the bedroom? Was he captivated by Elysia's gentleness in the courtyard? Was he overwhelmed by Eden's fiery love in the guest room?

Is my self-control getting worse and worse? Living in a peaceful era, I'm like a young boy who's become addicted to the taste of a seven or eight-year-older older sister in high school. I have to change this. Starting tomorrow, I'll start high-intensity training with Qianjie and the Chrono again.

Lin's steps were a little unsteady. He turned on the tap and filled the bathtub with hot water. Then he took off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub to soak in the hot bathwater. His black hair was wet and hung on his head. He leaned against the bathtub and looked up at the water droplets formed by the steam rising from the ceiling.

The faucet kept running hot water to maintain the temperature in the bathtub, and the water flowed gurgling down the edge of the tub. Now, it was so peaceful.

Let's sleep here for the night.

So, amidst the rushing sound of the water being released, Lin closed her eyes.

"Clatter".

Lin was startled and looked sharply at the bathroom door.

After a night of intense fighting, Lin was completely overwhelmed. If one of those girls had walked in, he would probably have jumped up in fright.

But thankfully... or perhaps not so thankfully... it wasn't one of them who came in.

Even so, she wasn't a girl.

The masked man, wearing a scarf, walked nonchalantly into the steamy bathroom.

"... Chrono?"

Unexpectedly, the masked man turned around and launched a surprise attack.

"Hmph." Chrono snorted coldly, then sat down on the shower chair next to him, turned on the bathroom heater and started washing. As he washed his body, he said, "The smell is terrible, and I just saw Elysia sleeping on the sofa. Did he spend another night on a woman's belly today?"

"..."

"Including Mobius, Aponia, and Vill-V, there are four of us alone."

Lin could hear the sarcasm in Chrono's words, and he couldn't bring himself to say that the number had actually increased to six.

"You really have no taste. You can even go after women like Mobius and Aponia. Aren't you afraid they'll tear your tongue off?"

As Chrono spoke, he turned off the bathroom heater, dried himself off, stepped into the bathtub, and sat down opposite Lin.

In the vast bathroom, only silence remained for a moment.

The masked man rested his chin on his hand, staring at Lin: "So what are you going to do next?"

"...Not much." Lin sighed softly.

Aren't you afraid that one day they might lose their temper and split you into several pieces?

"They won't do that."

"That's because you underestimate them." Chrono sneered. "Lin, we've been through that era ourselves. You should know that sometimes they may look as gentle and weak as little animals, but in reality, they are all ferocious monsters. Even the most innocent Griseo from before has grown up now. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I found out one day that you were cooked and eaten by them."

"Then I will try my best to avoid it," Lin said with a sigh, twisting his neck.

"Didn't you think of any other solutions?"

"I just want everyone to be happy."

"Hmph, just like Kosma said, a righteous scumbag."

"..."

Lin couldn't refute it. He shook his head, feeling so tired that he could barely lift a finger.

"...Hello."

Chrono stared at Lin for a while, then suddenly spoke up.

"..."

"Come here and turn your back to me, I'll rub your back."

"Um?"

"What the hell? Hurry up, you can scrub me after you're done." Chrono got up, grabbed a towel and shower gel from the side, and sat on a stool. He said impatiently, "Last time I went to a hot spring with Kevin, he couldn't control his body temperature and made me take a cold shower. We were kicked out and couldn't get a scrub."

... So it was resentment.

For some reason, Lin found it somewhat amusing, but he still sat down on the stool, his back to Chrono.

Then the two of them had a nice back scrub in the bathroom.

Lin believes this is the most normal thing he experienced today.

Lunar New Year Special: The Story of a Single Ox and an Endless Field (Part 8)

At this time when everyone harbors ill intentions, getting a back massage with Chrono finally gave Lin a sense of joy during the holiday.

"I'm too lazy to say anything more to you, hmph... Take good care of Elysia, after all, you two have had a tough time." After taking another shower, Chrono put on his clothes and left. Lin heard the sound of Chrono leaving the house outside, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, and silently pondered.

He was thinking about the future.

To be honest, he used to always be on the verge of life and death. The future he envisioned was a grand ideal and concept: humanity, peace, and Honkai.

But now that all the suffering has disappeared from his life, his future focuses on the people around him and himself. He finds that how to live a normal life is more difficult to answer than how to fight against the Honkai.

For example... what if someone wants to have a child?

Lin couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a father. He had no idea how to be a good father because he never knew what kind of father was best for a child.

The thought of this, of a tiny life that might be related to him by blood being born, makes him panic.

... Speaking of which, it seems we didn't take any precautions today. What if we win the bid?

Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

Lin himself never expected that he would one day say something like "take it one step at a time." He was filled with emotion and closed his eyes, leaning against the bathtub.

But it was clear that he couldn't get through the rest of the night peacefully, partly because of the special occasion and partly because of someone's malice.

"Da, da, da, da..."

A series of extremely hurried and undisguised footsteps quickly approached the bathroom. With Lin's hearing ability, which could distinguish the sound of a needle falling in the heavy rain, he could immediately tell who it was. He immediately jumped up, rushed to the bathroom door, and reached out to lock it.

But it was too late. The person outside had already guessed what he was going to do. The footsteps that were five meters away a second ago were now at the door. Lin could only watch in horror as the bathroom door was pushed open by a delicate arm, and then the world spun around him.

"Splash."

Lin was thrown back into the bathtub.

"You have quite the nerve, Lin."

A green-haired girl wearing a dark green slit cheongsam walked into the bathroom with a cold smile. She casually locked the bathroom door from the inside, and then, under Lin's bloodshot gaze, she took off her shoes. Her feet, clad in white stockings, stepped onto the wet tiles, and she walked towards him step by step amidst the rising steam.

"At first, that shameless bastard Chrono told you to take a rest, and I naively felt sorry for you and thought you really needed to rest for a while. But what did you do..."

Mobius's pale green snake eyes looked down at Lin, who was lying face up in the bathtub. She haughtily raised her leg and stepped on his chest, pressing him firmly into the tub.

"Can you explain to me what those three lying in the living room, bedroom, and guest room are all about? They're my Lab Rat."

Lin replied solemnly, "I can explain..."

"Uh-huh?"

"...?"

"Go to hell!"

Mobius lifted her leg and stomped on his face. Lin often played with her legs and stockings, but today she was clearly angry and not just letting him use them, but stomping him to death in the bathtub.

"They haven't even been touched yet! You horny rat! Three weren't enough for you? You've expanded your business to six? And three more in just one night!"

"It seems I've been too lenient with you."

As Mobius spoke with a cold laugh, he reached into the slit of her cheongsam and found a red ribbon tied into a bow inside the stocking on her right thigh. With a gentle tug, he tore the stocking and pulled out the still-warm undergarment.

"Etc--"

However, before Lin could finish his protest, Mobius grabbed him by the neck and stuffed the bundled clothes into his mouth to silence him.

Then, Mobius stepped into the bathtub wearing a sexy cheongsam, restraining Lin's hands with one hand and tearing open the stockings under the cheongsam with the other. Her cold, pretty face was close to Lin's eyes as she said fiercely, "Lab Rat is Lab Rat. From today onwards, everything you have is mine. If you dare to insert this into another woman's body... you can try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rushing water made Lin's eyes widen. He was almost completely submerged in the bathtub, with only his neck and head exposed. Mobius's cheongsam was completely soaked and clung to her petite body. Although she was still only about thirteen or fourteen years old, her figure was already beginning to take shape at its most perfect as an adult, and at this moment, she had a unique charm.

Despite her strong demeanor, her cheeks quickly flushed once the real thing began.

Besides, they've never been in a bathtub before...

But in that moment of distraction, Lin seized the opportunity, broke free of her grip, and then, amidst Mobius's gasp, slipped his hands under her armpits and lifted her up.

Suddenly losing control, Mobius sensed something was very wrong. "W-what are you going to do?"

Lin Youran removed the undergarment from her mouth and threw it on the ground. Then, she grabbed the shoulders of the green-haired girl in the cheongsam, turned her around, and pressed her against the tiled wall next to the bathtub.

This pose...

Mobius's pretty face flushed red. The heat on her back and the way she was being treated like an object made her shout nervously, "Lin! How dare you?"

"Didn't you want to know what happened to those three?"

Lin is very angry now.

He had never been angry with Mobius before, but today, he was already feeling incredibly stressed, and Mobius had actually done something like this.

He should be the one to say this, "It seems he was too lenient with Mobius."

Lin grabbed Mobius's legs, which were covered in white stockings, with such force that she almost folded her in half. Her ankles were already above her head, and only the curtain of her cheongsam was left to cover her private parts.

Then, in this position that allows for the maximum "feeling," Lin began without any mercy.

"You, you, you..."

Mobius was so ashamed and indignant that she said "you" three times in a row, but this feeling of being completely "used" stirred up a strange emotion in her heart.

"Shut up, you slut."

Lin coldly rebuked him, then bit down on Mobius's fair and slender neck, leaving a deep tooth mark on the jade-like skin. Mobius angrily tried to bite back, but Lin suddenly—

"Ugh————"

Mobius's face was pressed against the wall, tears streaming down his face, and his body was trembling violently.

What... is this feeling...?

When she was in charge before... there was none of that...

It's no use...

Her lithe body writhed like a water snake, as if struggling, yet also as if yielding. "No, no... I was wrong... slower..."

"I already told you, shut up, you slut." Lin licked away the pretty girl's tears with his steaming tongue, and coldly reprimanded, "If you want to admit your mistake, get pregnant first!"

"Ugh—I... ha..."

Did I ask you to give me another answer?

"Mmm... okay... I definitely will..."

"Let's start today."
