My First Time Too (Shy)

"I do have a way to let you travel through the heavens, but you wouldn't become a Traveler of All Heavens. I wonder if you'd be willing..."

"What method?" Saeko Busujima immediately asked, her eyes shining as even her breathing grew rapid.

Saeko Busujima had always believed that she harbored a strong violent streak, that she was a killer lurking among ordinary people.

Back in middle school, she had once been followed by a groper. Having noticed him in advance, Saeko Busujima had not raised an alarm. Instead, she had deliberately walked into an alley without surveillance cameras—the alley beside the dojo.

Saeko Busujima then deliberately showed weakness. When he tried to assault her, she used the white oak practice sword she carried with her to severely injure him, breaking his shoulder blade and leg bone.

Afterward, considering Saeko Busujima's young age and the groper's prior offenses, the police simply sent her home without holding her responsible.

This incident became a thorn buried deep in Saeko Busujima's heart, because the excitement and twisted pleasure that had surged up when she struck that groper with her wooden sword had been impossible to fake.

Reason and instinct had clashed, tormenting Saeko Busujima at every moment, until today, when Xiao Miao brought her a ray of hope.

Travel through the heavens, walk across countless worlds, use the blade in her hand to define herself. She would not need to care about worldly judgment; she only needed to enjoy battle.

It was not only Saeko Busujima who wanted to become a Traveler of All Heavens. Even Alice looked over with interest.

She felt that this world was utterly rotten. If possible, she would much rather live in a world without the Umbrella Corporation.

"Ahem, don't look at me like that. Let me finish first."

Burned by the heated gazes of the two women, Xiao Miao hurriedly poured cold water on their enthusiasm. It had little effect; their eyes remained blazing.

"It's like this. I happened to master a strange ability. It seriously doesn't suit my personality, but I mastered it anyway."

"It can allow two people to form a soul contract. The terms are strict. One party will completely lose autonomy and can be regarded as one of my possessions. Naturally, they can travel through the heavens and worlds with me."

Alice still did not understand, but Saeko Busujima grasped it immediately. Recalling topics she had discussed with her close friends, she blurted out, "Something like a Hypnosis Phone or an RBQ Contract?"

Xiao Miao's face darkened. "It's not that erotic. Fine, it's just an ordinary slave contract."

Alice: ...What was ordinary about that?

At this point, Alice knew that she was destined to be unable to become a Traveler of All Heavens. She had spent her life wild and free; she would never become anyone's slave.

Saeko Busujima also fell silent. Clearly, she was struggling internally. She believed Xiao Miao was a good person and a capable one, but she could not casually hand over her entire body and soul.

Xiao Miao did not try to persuade her. His attitude toward this matter was neither proactive nor rejecting, neither encouraging nor obstructive, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, neither tempting nor responsible.

There was no need to rush her. Saeko Busujima would win herself over. A peaceful life would only make flowers wither; Resident Evil was far from enough. Saeko Busujima desired a more thrilling life.

Of course, even if she ultimately refused, Xiao Miao would not lose anything. It was merely a casual attempt.

"I'm sorry. Please allow me some time to think." Saeko Busujima bowed as she spoke.

Xiao Miao nodded. "Suit yourself, but watch the time. I'll wait for one hour at most."

Saeko Busujima nodded lightly and sat in seiza at the stern in the posture of a proper Yamato nadeshiko. She took out the necklace her mother had left her, her gaze rising and falling with the waves.

Faced with a major turning point that could change her life, the girl's thoughts were a tangled mess. No one could guess what exactly she was thinking.

Xiao Miao did not idle around either. He learned how to pilot the boat from Alice, and after studying for half a day, he successfully gained [Yacht Piloting Lv. 1] on his panel.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Miao received information from the Fate Dice: Saeko Busujima's favorability had risen to Level 4.

Another ten minutes passed. After the yacht crossed a certain boundary, the system panel's notification sounded beside Xiao Miao's ear.

The task of escaping Tokonosu City had been completed. Five hundred Fate Points had arrived, and he could leave!

At the same time, Saeko Busujima stood and walked over to Xiao Miao. She gave him a deep bow. "Please do it."

After a series of complicated thoughts, she had ultimately decided to trust both Xiao Miao and herself. Although they had spent only a short time together, she could tell that Xiao Miao was a good person worth entrusting herself to!

Xiao Miao took a deep breath and silently paid 50 Fate Points to extend his stay by one hour. He asked solemnly, "Are you sure?"

Saeko Busujima nodded. "I'm sure!"

"Good, but it's my first time too, so I'm not very skilled. If I hurt you, tell me directly," Xiao Miao reminded her in advance.

The last target he had used Enslavement Magic on had been a Licker, and its attitude had hardly been stable.

Saeko Busujima's cheeks reddened slightly. "All right. Please be gentle."

Alice, who had been listening in with her ears perked up, covered her face helplessly. Terrible conversations always made her thoughts go astray.

"Saeko, get ready. I'm starting."

"I'm ready!"

Xiao Miao walked up to Saeko Busujima and gently stroked her magnificent long purple hair with his right hand. It felt wonderful. Her smooth hair was like the finest silk, soft and sleek.

Skill: Blood Queen's Enslavement Magic activated. The little mana remaining in his body stirred and flowed, somewhat awkwardly, through his arm and into Saeko Busujima's body.

Saeko Busujima let out a muffled groan. Her body trembled slightly, her delicate brows furrowing as her pearly teeth bit down on her red lips, as though she were desperately suppressing something.

Xiao Miao took out a dagger and sliced open his palm. Something magical happened: instead of flowing out, his blood turned into crimson mist and flew toward Saeko Busujima, slowly merging into her skin.

Xiao Miao did not know much about the Blood Queen's origins, but she definitely did not seem like a good person.

However, power itself had no distinction between justice and evil. In his hands, this blood-soaked ability would surely become a sharp weapon for eliminating evil.

Yes, that was exactly right.

Dark red magical patterns gradually crawled over Saeko Busujima's body, and then the mana consumption suddenly increased.

Xiao Miao's expression changed drastically. He felt that the other end of the mana connection was not Saeko Busujima, but an untiring mana pump that was endlessly draining mana from his body.

At this stage of the contract, rashly cutting off the mana supply would only cause all his efforts to fail. Xiao Miao gritted his teeth and persisted as the reserves within him were drained in an instant.

With his mana exhausted, his stamina began automatically converting into mana, flowing endlessly into Saeko Busujima's body. Dark red patterns covered Saeko's entire body and rapidly spread, seemingly about to cover every inch of her skin.

Half a minute later, Xiao Miao felt his lower back ache and his legs weaken. His stamina was nearly depleted, yet it continued to drain away.

Why can this girl eat so much?

Realizing his miscalculation, Xiao Miao decisively used the item card: Palico Meal. In an instant, a lavish serving of... grilled cabbage appeared before him.

Xiao Miao: ...

Palico, this is what you give hunters to eat?!

There was no time to complain. Xiao Miao grabbed the cabbage and stuffed it into his mouth. The flavor of butter mixed with cabbage spread through his mouth, while a faint bitterness bloomed across his taste buds.

After the cabbage went down, a warm current suddenly appeared from nowhere. The stamina Saeko Busujima had sucked dry was instantly restored.

Xiao Miao straightened his back and continued supplying mana. Several dozen seconds later, the bottomless pit that was Saeko Busujima was finally satisfied. Blood-red patterns covered her entire body, including her clothes, as though she had been soaked in blood.

Then the blood-red patterns instantly faded, as though they had never existed. Saeko Busujima was still Saeko Busujima, except her eyes had turned blood-red, like magnificent rubies.

The contract was complete!

Saeko Busujima's soul was now completely under Xiao Miao's control. With a single thought, he could make her soul scatter and vanish. Besides that...

"Return," Xiao Miao murmured softly.

In an instant, Saeko Busujima's body collapsed inward and melted into a mass of blood-colored mana. It flew straight into Xiao Miao's body, gathering into a red katana pattern on his left wrist.

Saeko Busujima's physical body had disappeared. She no longer possessed a fatal weakness in the physical sense, having completely transformed into a magical being dependent on Xiao Miao for her existence.

Xiao Miao lowered his head to stare at the tattoo on his arm. He had only just learned that this was the effect of Enslavement Magic. If this had been his previous life, he would no longer be able to grill her!

Beside Xiao Miao, Alice's jaw dropped to the ground, and she could not close it for a long time.
