Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

Chapter 141

Chapter 142

"I think I probably can't wait much longer. I'll do the birthday shopping trip with you tomorrow first."

After sensing Cecilia's increasingly strange breathing, Rhodes tried to remain calm and changed the subject.

"Okay, it's alright." Cecilia didn't do anything wrong to Rhodes with her other hand; instead, she gently stroked her cheek.

"Are you afraid we'll seize the opportunity and take the Demon God Fragments and Star God Bow ahead of time? Is that why you're going back early?"

"I guess so."

"Don't worry about that—we'll only do these things after a great despair descends."

Cecilia responded with a smile, but her hands were becoming increasingly restless.

However, even though they were doing something depressing.

But what she said was actually true.

After all, the witch needs to wait for the fear that arises after the [Divine Sacrifice] erupts before she can act.

Firstly, after the divine sacrifice, the fact that the god had truly died would be seen by those favored by the god. Even if they did not become demons, their faith would be greatly diminished and their strength would be damaged.

Secondly, by then, panic will spread throughout the entire imperial capital. They can use this power to give one of the twelve newly born divine fragments the strongest energy, thus ensuring that once she obtains a divine position, her strength will surpass that of the Eternal Sage.

That's just how it is —

Just like Charlotte, even if she only has a clone with one-twentieth of her soul, her combat power is enough to surpass most humans and is comparable to a powerhouse who has been promoted nine times.

Even the reason why the twelve demon fragments are not as strong as Charlotte is because Cecilia's own soul strength is insufficient.

Otherwise, a being like a demon god, which requires the combined suppression of all twelve gods, would only be more terrifying.

"Grand despair?"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, as if he had grasped the crux of the matter.

"That's a secret. I can tell you after our date tomorrow."

Cecilia spoke gently, but inexplicably released a special spatial skill—in an instant, clumps of black, sludge-like substance emerged from the ground, surging up and covering the five-meter radius space where Cecilia and Rhodes were located.

Like Patrick Star's house, the two of them are now placed inside this spherical shell, and Rhodes can clearly feel that all external sounds and smells have been cut off.

This means that she even applied the skill of isolation.

Rod's eye twitched; for some reason, the tree behind him had become his only support.

no----?

"Cecilia."

"What's wrong? Are you trying to distract me by changing the subject?"

"You've already covered up the space, what kind of attention am I supposed to get away with?" Rod rubbed his hair. "Hey—can you be a little bit rational?"

"I can't be rational at all. To be honest, I want to drink milk."

"?"

This episode is amazing.

AD calcium milk? There's no such thing in this world, is there?

"To be honest, I don't know why, but starting this afternoon, whenever I'm near you, my desires start to grow wildly."

And as you, my dear, know—the most obvious of my depraved traits is actually lust.

So, um, that's it, I couldn't control myself.

Cecilia's ear tips grew increasingly red and bleeding, and her heterochromatic eyes were now radiating a bewitching glow.

She never covered her red eye because she was used to letting Ivina see what she was doing.

But undeniably, she has now completely forgotten that Ivina can see the current situation with this eye.

So, without any fear or trepidation, I simply faced it head-on.

A kiss is not a fleeting farewell, but a more tangible release.

It's fortunate that Cecilia isn't a succubus, otherwise she would definitely be glaring at Rhodes with heart-shaped tails.

Damn it—

But in the process, she was doing things haphazardly.

Rhodes was used to it.

I'm not used to it at all.

Rhode had been kissed by Cecilia quite a few times in the game, but in reality, it felt quite novel to him.

It's not that kind of lustful desire, but something that makes you genuinely feel the other person's emotional value.

It is a profound emotion and love.

Cecilia was like that—her madness stemmed from this emotion, and naturally, when she demanded something, it felt heavy.

It could be said that the reason she didn't pick up the woodcutter's knife to dismember Rhodes was essentially because her love had reached a very special level.

She wouldn't do anything to hurt someone she likes like those vulgar people, because in her eyes, every part of Rhodes is a work of art, an indestructible and irreplaceable treasure.

Rhodes simply sensed these things and fell into silence.

So be it.

He actually understood why Cecilia had suddenly become so depressed; it was simply because of the crown he had received.

The crown aroused Cecilia's feelings and also triggered her lust.

This frantic giving and taking lasted for about twenty seconds before her thin lips parted from Rod's face, but her arms still held him tightly.

She raised her hazy eyes, bit her lip, and said, "Darling, aren't we going to continue?"

Her hands remained restless, intensely touching Rod's skin.

"I'll say it—" Rhodes said, somewhat helplessly.

"Let me relax, I'm really feeling really suffocated right now—" Cecilia looked up pitifully, like a stray cat.

"Ugh."

Of course, one should still satisfy the needs of one's own maid.

Even if she's a rebellious bad maid, ultimately, her emotions and love are still real facts.

Most importantly, it was indeed he who induced her to become like this.

So, Rod was a little helpless, but he didn't really care.

He even thought about a very crucial question.

Cecilia has twelve bodies, which means that—

Hmm, she had the chance to experience what it felt like to be a virgin twelve times?

Stop, stop, stop! What a weird idea! And if Cecilia can experience it, then Ivina will be forced to experience it too.

Rhodes shook his head, rejecting the evil thought at hand.

But at that moment, Cecilia saw that Rhodes had taken the bait, and deliberately smiled: "Well, I won't make my darling comfortable so easily—after all, I'm selfish."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't care how my darling feels."

"Hey Cecilia, it seems you don't have any bargaining chips with me, do you?"

"So what?"

Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?

"So what?"

"So what?" Rhodes replied, "You want to be subjected to a berserk battle?"

"So what?" was what he said when he was angry with them.

But now it's being used against him instead.

Rhodes understood perfectly well that her purpose was nothing more than to deliberately provoke him.

Or, to put it another way, you first need to stir up his emotions, and then let her feel good on her own.

But here's the problem: what did this guy awaken? How dare he say "So what?" to provoke him.

Isn't this just blatantly asking for a hundred free pulls upon release?

Unfortunately, she was dreaming.

If he hadn't said anything, he would have let her have her way, but once she did, Rod really didn't want her to be so happy anymore.

Originally—she didn't want to go home obediently and always did those bad things, how dare she be so arrogant? Cecilia.

"How dare you think that this level of desire is enough to arouse my lust and make me take you?"

"The reverse psychology tactic won't work, or rather, it's too outdated, Cecilia."

"If you won't make me comfortable, then you'd better work hard yourself."

Isn't that how it is?

The person who needs it now is Cecilia.

Even without you, Cecilia, he'll still be sleeping with Natalie when he gets back.

"?"

Cecilia's face froze instantly.

She initially forced a smile, thinking Rhodes was just joking with her, but when the [Contract] actually activated, causing a burning sensation in her lower abdomen, she instantly lost her composure.

"Wait, wait—! That's not what I meant, darling, I—"

"Huh? I don't understand."

"No, I was wrong, I was wrong—please help me, darling."

Cecilia quickly dropped her confident demeanor and apologized somewhat flusteredly.

Rod shook his head and looked up at the sky: "Just play by yourself."

Rhodes spoke clearly, activating the effect of the [Contract] once again.

In that instant, Cecilia released Rhodes, and her body began to move erratically out of control!

That's not right!

This method of acting under orders not only fails to reduce desires, but may even make them stronger!

"Honey, stop joking, okay? This is such a rare opportunity—"

"It was such a rare opportunity to have a proper heart-to-heart talk before heading to the capital, what a pity."

O

broken.

I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying—

My body was already burning with uncontrollable desire, and now I have to do it in front of the person I like—

Cecilia's shame surged wildly at this moment, and she couldn't believe that the strange game she had requested had actually come to pass.

But this doesn't fit her expectations, this isn't right!

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

Ivina was in a good mood as she carried the books she had found in the living room, intending to use them to supplement her knowledge and learn unfamiliar words.

Felicity had gone back to her own room, while Natalie had run to Rhodes's room.

So now she's left alone, a leisurely person, to read books at her leisure.

For her, learning this knowledge and understanding more about the world is enough to make her happy.

Having emerged from a world of emptiness, she can now perceive more colors simply by touching things.

Of course, she was also a little scared.

I'm afraid that if I go on a date the day after tomorrow, my old problem will relapse—

"I don't want to think about these things anymore; I still have to work hard."

She quickly shook her head, her fair fingers gripping the large book she was holding tightly, and calmed herself down.

but-

At that moment, she felt a strange sensation.

"?" Ivina suddenly frowned and touched her belly.

I don't feel quite right.

"Something doesn't feel right—hmm, I'll go to the bathroom first and come back to check later."

She threw the book on the table and stood up.

But in that instant, her legs suddenly went weak, causing her to collapse onto the sofa behind her.

"Hmm————?"

She instantly covered her mouth, forcibly suppressing the sound that was about to come out.

Here comes the problem.

My mouth was covered, but my train of thought couldn't be interrupted.

well known.

Cecilia = Ivina.

In other words, she was experiencing a shocking change in her body at this moment, and she was very clear about what these sensations meant.

What's going on?

Is Cecilia crazy? So late at night—

The curses echoed in her mind. She bit her lip and endured the pain as she got up.

You can't stay like this in the living room, you should at least go to the bathroom first.

The problem is that, despite her despair, she felt the sofa was incredibly far from the toilet.

Yes, it seems that this distance is the most distant space in life, and the world is cruel.

Life is not beautiful.

The fountain in the square outside was still working normally, but right now, all she wanted was for everything to be quiet.

Her face also turned into a dead fish eye of utter despair.

Ultimately, Rhodes spared Cecilia.

Rhodes knew very well that this level of contract was not really enough to harm Cecilia, nor could it truly break her defenses or make her blush. Otherwise, he would probably be the one in trouble later.

Or rather, it was just a slight way to suppress her constant trouble-making, and it was already getting late, so of course he had to come back and take care of things at the apartment first. Natalie was still waiting for him.

Twenty minutes later, he composed himself, returned to the apartment, and opened the door.

"Hmm?" Rod saw Ivina kneeling on the floor wiping it with a rag and smiled. "Ivina has learned to clean up after all."

He looked at Ivina with a slightly puzzled expression, only to be met with Ivina's even more ferocious gaze. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "I'll kill you."

:

"???"

Three question marks appeared on Rod's forehead.

Oh no, what did he do to offend the ancestors?

"Ivina, what's wrong?

He bent down slightly, wanting to pat Ivina's head to soothe her suddenly erupting emotions.

But at that very moment, Ivina grabbed his hand and said fiercely, "Don't you know what my relationship with Cecilia is? You're a complete idiot!"

"6

'

Rhodes's expression froze instantly.

what.

Yes.
