Chapter 106 – Good news.


    After I returned to the mansion, Hestia was sitting on the sofa. Lili was with her. The two were discussing some perverted things, which I decided to ignore.


    Hestia was talking about how I took her virginity. Lili seemed quite curious, but as soon as she saw me, she pointed at me, and Hestia turned to look back. Her face turned red, and she stood up.


    After walking over, she handed me a cup of tea and smiled.


    "Luan, you''re finally back! Where were you? Hahaha."


    "It doesn''t matter. You were having quite an interesting conversation, weren''t you? You can continue; I''m going upstairs."


    "Uuuhh… You''re embarrassing me in front of Lili."


    "Am I?"


    "It''s fine," Lili startedughing.


    "Lili…"


    I left Hestia and Lili behind and went to my room. When I arrived, I opened my Status and checked a few things. Nothing had changed. I thought there would at least be some information about Ais.


    When I won over Lili, the system told me that Lili was falling in love, but this time, nothing appeared.


    Well, that''s to be expected. If a simr message were to appear, it would have happened when I gave Ais the gift… But I thought: Maybe she started falling for me after I left.


    Or perhaps after she starts reading the book.


    But it didn''t happen.


    I went to the bathroom to shower and couldn''t help but remember Ais''s body, which I had only seen for a few seconds. Her breasts were beautiful, as good as Hestia''s, though much smaller.


    I like breasts like Ais''s breasts—firm and very well-shaped.


    Although, I preferrge and soft breasts like Hestia''s.


    Before I realized it, I was masturbating while thinking about Ais''s body, imagining touching her soft skin and squeezing her modest and beautiful breasts.


    And just as I reached my limit and imagined myself finishing on her breasts, a new message from the system appeared.


    <strong>[Ais is in the process of falling in love with you.]</strong>


    <strong>[New mission avable!]</strong>


    <strong>[Make Ais break her character and confess her love to you.]</strong>


    <strong>[Reward: 20 points]</strong>


    "Oh my god? A new mission. And a different one this time. I had to make Lili fall in love with me, but now I have to make Ais fall in love and confess her feelings."


    Luckily, she''s already in the process of falling for me.


    "Ais invited me out to eat with her. I should take her to a few ces and get closer to her until she reaches her limit and confesses to me."


    But will it be that easy?


    As the system itself said, Ais will break her character. It''s not like her to do something like that, especially at this point in the story...


    However, calling her out on dates won''t be enough.


    If I make her believe that she''s the most important woman in this world and that I care deeply for her, it might make her love me more and gather the courage to confess.


    Fortunately, there''s no time limit.


    I showered happily and then went downstairs. Lili and Hestia were still talking about random, unimportant things.


    Since everyone was hungry, I made food for the three of us, and after eating, I decided to stay home the rest of the day.


    Unfortunately, I didn''t sleep with Hestia today, but I did get to spend the night with Lili.


    It wasn''t as good as with Hestia, but it was still a fantastic night.


    The following day, I went downstairs with Lili. Elma was at the mansion, sitting with Hestia.


    She brought good news.


    ####


    After serving her some tea, I sat down with Elma, and she brought excellent news. The second volume was finally going to be sold. Yes, starting tomorrow, the second volume will be avable.


    "I thought it would take a bit longer; this is a surprise," I said.


    "As I mentioned, I hired many new employees, so the process was much faster than expected."


    "That''s great. Didn''t I tell you, Goddess?"


    "But even so, I wanted to finish reading it and see the art!"


    "Oh? So that gift really wasn''t for the Goddess?"


    When Hestia heard the word "gift," her eyes widened. I hadn''t told her about the gift I gave to Ais. Now, there was no way to avoid the subject.


    Not only was Hestia, but Lili was also quite surprised.


    Damn it, Elma!


    "Gift? What gift?" Hestia asked.


    "The Goddess didn''t know about this? He took a copy of the second volume."


    "A copy of the second volume? You didn''t tell me about this, Luan," Hestia said.


    "I didn''t hear anything about this either," Lili added after Hestia nced at her.


    "About that…" I looked at Elma, irritated. She realized I was reprimanding her. I took a deep breath and had to exin what I had done to Hestia, though I omitted that I gave it to Ais.


    When Hestia heard that I had given the second volume as a gift to someone yesterday, she looked visibly upset. However, she tried to act normally.


    "I see, so you gave it as a gift. Well, it has nothing to do with me... Your friend must have been quite happy."


    "I''m sorry, Goddess. I should have got a copy for you."


    "It''s fine; I''ll be able to read it tomorrow anyway."


    "Excuse me!" Elma interrupted our discussion. "I can go to my store and get a copy for the Goddess. What do you think?"


    Hestia and I exchanged nces, and then I looked at Elma. "Alright, go ahead."


    However, Hestia stopped her.


    "There''s no need, Elma. It''s fine. I''ll buy a copy tomorrow."


    "..." Elma looked at me, seeking help.


    I sighed deeply again.


    "Alright, Elma, no need to bring another copy."


    "Right…"


    Elma realized the atmosphere had be a bit awkward and decided to leave. After she left the mansion, Hestia looked at me with a smile. Hestia was quite upset with me! I told her she couldn''t see the art, but then I gave a copy to someone else as a gift.


    I didn''t think Hestia would get so angry.


    "It''s alright, Luan."


    In the end, I couldn''t touch Hestia that day.
