Danmachi: Is it wrong to be the ultimate adventurer? (R-18)

(A/N: Please leave reviews and recommendations wherever you want. Let me improve and help me improve, okay? For now, get in the groove and play your songs just relax and read! (＾ω＾))

The faint scent of her hair lingered, mingled with the intense musk of our breeding. I looked at her bare ass which was notably thick and worth admiration. I shifted slightly, pleased by the quiet intimacy of her wrapping around me like a fragile koala.

With the connection forged between us, I could search her soul pretty well.

I let my mind wander, reaching out to explore the wealth of knowledge she carried about the Dungeon, storing it like a folder in my mind.

Although the sheer amount did hurt my head as usual, the headache was a feeling I got used too and it's unavoidable so I dealt with it.

But truly it wasn't just the knowledge of the Dungeon that I got curious about. I snooped through her past, her memories, her hopes…and her feelings.

I'm her first love. The realization bothered me. There wasn't a flicker of doubt. Her thoughts as she slipped into sleep had been embarrassingly clear, she fully accepted my seed inside her just now willingly.

A father? Me? That idea is absurd. What kind of father could someone like me be?

And yet…I couldn't imagine turning my back on her. On them, potentially.

I stared at the ceiling, my mind a storm of contradictions. Would I fail them or would I ruin them, just by being me?

Worry gnawed in my mind.

I sighed, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Her lashes fluttered at the touch, her elven ears twitching, her breath catching as she began to stir. Slowly, her eyes opened, emerald pools of confusion and lingering exhaustion.

"Hey," I murmured, my voice softer than I intended. "You're awake."

Her cheeks flushed as she shifted against me, the soreness in her movements reminding her of what we did.

I tightened my arms around her instinctively, she tried to speak, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she buried her face into my chest, her fingers curling weakly against me.

She's smart, I thought, my gaze softening as I looked down at her. Smarter than me, that's for sure. She could raise the baby even without me. But could I really just leave? Could I abandon them if she chose me?

The answer was there, fighting in my doubt, whispering to keep hold a her. No. I had no reason to worry.

I sighed again, running my fingers through her hair as she slowly lifted her head to meet my gaze. Her blush deepened, and I couldn't help but smile softly, my thumb brushing against her cheek.

"You're okay," I murmured, my voice low and reassuring. "Just rest a little longer." I squeeze her ass further and pet her body, if she wants me to stay I'll stay that much is hers.

She hesitated, her lips parting as if to argue, but instead, she nodded, her head resting against me once more.

Her green eyes, hesitant and heavy with uncertainty, "I can't believe this…I can't believe I let this happen," she murmured, her voice trembling with a mixture of disbelief and guilt. Her hands clenched lightly against my chest pondering about her rash decisions today. 

I smiled, a serene yet playful expression that I knew would soothe her. My hand, warm and deliberate, moved to cup her cheek, my thumb brushing away an imaginary tear.

"A mistake?" I said softly, my voice laced with a gentle tease, yet undeniably steady. "Eina, if this is a mistake, then I'll have to fix it. Isn't that what guilty people have to do?"

Her gaze darted away, "I…I don't know," she whispered, her voice almost inaudible. "I just…What am I even doing?"

"You're being brave, Eina. That's all." My intent to condition her, gentle and intimate, meant only for her ears. "You don't have to figure it all out right now. Just rely on me for a while."

Her eyes widened, her blush intensifying, "Rely on…you?"

"Why not?" I teased lightly, my grin almost too wide yet impossibly charming. "I'm not going anywhere, am I? Unless you're trying to get rid of me already."

Her blush deepened to an almost painful red, and she stammered, "N-no, that's not what I meant! I just…I…"

I couldn't help but laugh softly, the sound melodic and light. "Relax, Eina. I'll take responsibility. For what we did. For you."

Her eyes softened, it's clear she is incredibly vulnerable right now and though her voice trembled, there was a faint smile on her lips. "Okay…but…only if you promise."

"Promise what?" I asked, tilting my head wanting her to properly convey to me how she truly wants me to be to her.

"Promise me you'll…take responsibility," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, as if saying it louder would make her melt.

I grinned, leaning in closer, just enough for her to feel the warmth of my breath. "I have and will do so, Eina" I caress my hand on her thick ass now just for comfort. 

This made her flustered and I found it priceless. She buried her face into my chest, muttering about her own stupidity as I chuckled softly and held her close.

She peeked up at me, her gaze darting around the room, realization dawning with panic. Her head moved upwards in a burst, getting off my chest and inhaling before she spoke, "Oh no! Oh gods, I've been here way too long!"

I blinked, amused, as she scrambled to sit up, clutching at her removed clothing and looking absolutely frazzled.

"Work," she blurted out. "I—I need to get back to work! They're going to wonder what I've been up too!"

I leaned back, propping myself up on one elbow, watching her with amusement as she hurriedly tried to put on her clothes. Her movements were frantic, and her face was a beautiful shade of red of the reddest red.

Then she froze, her expression shifting from panic to horror as it becomes clear that I have sullied her completely.

"What's wrong?" I asked, my tone teasing yet genuinely curious.

"I need the restroom," she said quickly, turning away to hide the embarrassment. 

I let out a soft laugh, shaking my head in genuine amusement. "You're adorable, you'll be fine, Eina."

She shot me a glare, though it lacked any real heat, and mumbled something under her breath as she rushed to the door.

"Wait!", I called out abruptly as she turns to look towards me with a wave of panic setting in her eyes from going back to reality, so I tell her, "I love you, Eina"

The scent of her musk and lingering embarrassment filled the air as I watched her stare at me, red as ever, unable to suppress my grin as she puts on her glasses and walks out the door. If anything, her standing outside the door breathing heavily was even cuter before she finally walked off to clean up herself.

She's really fallen for me, hasn't she? I thought, reclining on the bed as the stillness returned to the room. She's too easy to fluster and already sees me as something so integral to her.

After a moment, I sighed, shifting my focus.

There is still work to be done. 

I closed my eyes, sorting through the vast wealth of [dungeon knowledge] I had pulled and copied from her soul categorizing it meticulously to memorize it. 

After a while, I am satisfied, so I stood, stretching leisurely before putting on my clothes and exiting the private room.

As I head towards my way out, I locked eyes with Misha who had returned to working as a Teller after catching us in the act.

Giving the fact that no one but her had their eyes on me it meant shes protecting Eina and by association, me. After all, if other's knew they'd surely be staring at me for being such an imp, right?

I walked over to her and simply said, "Thank you", my gaze fell heavy on her revealing my gratitude for what she did. After that, I turnt and began walking out of the guild.

In the past few days, I have been on a total tear in terms of how much focus I placed on the opposite sex to amass power using my cheat abilities. The thing is that there are also men with attractive skills and I'd have to consider opening myself to that possibility.

-Or finding a loophole around it. Plus, I have more things to worry about with Ishtar as I have to find away to get more power quickly.

My mind raced with images of what I did to Samira, comparing it to Eina and wondered how she's doing after our incident. I kept walking through Orario aimlessly occasionally people would approach me and I did my best to be amicable.

I reached Ishtar's quarters with slight hesitation as I pushed open her doors which theatrically opened with slowness.

Looking at her predatory gaze as she realizes that I'm back, I shruddered recalling her allure instantly and her beauty made my eyes lock on to her whether I liked it or not.

"Come closer, Fae", her voice was a soft melody as I walked into her room and took a seat a bit distant from her.

-This is for my safety.

This irritated her as she got up with a frustrated expression and sat next to me wrapping her arm around my waist forcefully.

Her eyes roamed over me as if to analyze everything I may have done in my absence and yet her gaze became affectionate towards me the longer it rested on me. She let out a soft sigh, "Surely, you did not return just to sit there and look pretty, Fae", she caressed my belly in circles.

I cleared my throat to ignore my awkwardness, "I acquired enough from the Guild to venture into the dungeon, and I came here to strategize our next move. About our plans.."

"Plans?" She repeated with her eyebrows arching and her leg now placed over mine's. "Is that really all you came for?" She placed her hand under my chin with disappointment in her eyes, "You're so tense", she rubbed my head as if trying to make me let my guard down.

I considered it patiently and finally let out a relaxing exhale.

"Listen, you're safe here", her expression became a smirk as she pulled me towards her placing my face on her bosom, "So tell me, what's troubling you? Surely, you came prepared, correct?" Her eyes scanned me for the answer I seemed to owe, very impatiently.

"Ishtar, I was thinking that we should focus on which is awakening any latent abilities I may possess, acquiring new ones, and refining them", I looked away from her gaze and then said, "The best way to acquire abilities quickly would be a party"

"A party?", she was puzzled by my revelations but seemed to be catching on as she let out a knowing sound.

"Yes, one of those parties except with high-ranking individuals in terms of those with status blessings from the Gods and those with societal status. If in a party setting that may weaken their inhibitions, I could not only identify their worth, charm them and do deeds with them. I'd acquire their strengths!", I said with a firm determination in my eyes.

-I also have to be careful to guard the abilities I don't need her to see using [Veil of the Traveler] which I already have been doing to hide [Gate of Heaven] & [Anima Vestra].

Ishtar gave me a playful nudge as her emotions rose listening to my explanations, "So, you're suggesting a play party?," she murmured, her voice dripping with seduction, "Hm, little prince?" She leaned in, her lips brushing against my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. "And, of course, I'd make you into the star attraction."

Her words made me stiffen—not from fear, but from the raw fact that as always I'm at her mercy. How effortless could one person consume someone…is this why we are so alike?

"You're full of passion, my dear Fae," she whispered, her tone almost reverent. "To think you'd make up such a bold plan…it's adorable, really."

I blinked, thinking hard on what she's meaning about all this. All her motions and more have always been so cryptic. I came to her as I felt a kinship to her and it's not what I imagined.

She laughed softly, a melodious sound that filled the room. "Yes, adorable. You, with all your cunning and ambition, yet still manage to be so…clueless."

I was getting frustrated as she continued. "It's endearing, how much guidance you truly need. Especially, when you can't see it yourself."

"You're my little treasure," she murmured, her voice thick with emotion. She pressed her forehead against mine, her violet eyes boring into my soul. "Do you know what you've done to me, Fae?"

Her question caught me off guard. I am growing accustomed to her antics of trying to spoil me, but this is new, "What have I done to you?"

She nodded, a dreamy smile gracing her lips. "I can't stop thinking about you since you came to me, craving you, needing you." Her arms tightened around me, as if she feared I might vanish. "You're not just a part of my plans anymore. I'll sponsor you, so just accept me".

She rubbed my crotch area, but did not make any further advances as her plan wa not to seduce me physically.

-Wait, this means she has gotten a completely grasp of the implications of my abilities? That would explain all of her trivialities. 

She pulled me onto her lap, cuddling me like a child. Her behavior is eerily similar to my own, but I can't think of a way to defeat her. Her fingers combed through my hair, her touch gentle yet possessive.

"Listen, Ishtar, my main focus is growing stronger. Your attraction to me is of no concern right now. Please let it go", I tried to defend myself recklessly with words.

"Fera, relax, don't ruin my night", she got serious, rolling her eyes as if I totally killed her mood and she became domineering as she gripped me firmly, "I want to talk with you, I need to talk about everything with you, even what I don't like, all the details we have, but whenever I like; and tonight I want you, to do your duty, to not hide anything from me. Be good to me. For me, to talk to you, about everything as if you were my other half. If you break this wish I'll make sure you lose both yoir balls", her admission followed by a kiss to my cheek whilst hugging me into her lap even her threat was softly spoken as if laying a veil over the now deceased defiance deep in my heart.

I never knew Ishtar could be so affectionate. I expected a reckless deity who would be impulsive to fulfill my desires if it benefited her.

For now, I accepted her affection, letting her warmth envelop me as she saw fit. Perhaps, in her dark intentions, there was a kind of safety—a haven from the oppositions of this world.

And so, I closed my eyes, surrendering to the moment and she spoke with me as if I was just another piece of her. Whatever the future held, I would face it when it came. For now, I am hers, and I'll let her do as she likes.
