Vol 3 Chapter 20: Date. Jealousy. Soft Embrace. ☆

With Nina clinging to my arm—no, more like restraining it—I finally spoke after walking a bit.

“Nina, where are we going? …Ah, and if you cling to me like that, uh, it’s hard to walk…”

Nina wrapped both arms around my left arm, pressing her chest against it—or rather, trapping it between them.

This position made it physically hard to walk, and feeling the softness of her chest, her warmth, and her scent made it mentally difficult in other ways.

“Oh, come on. Geez, you need to get used to this already♡ Here, snuggle-snuggle~♡”

“W-wait, not in public like this…”

Soft press~♡

Of course, Nina ignored my weak protests, holding onto me even tighter.

Her outfit—a single piece of fabric barely covering her chest—made the sensation almost too real. I couldn’t help but focus on the softness, warmth, and scent pressing against me, my heart racing.

“Good grief—what a helpless guy you are♡”

Her teasing words didn’t bother me. Instead, I was consumed by embarrassment… and, admittedly, a little pleasure.

“So, about where we’re going—it’s that way. Look, you can see it now.”

“…Our destination is… the market?”

The place Nina pointed to was alive with energy, even in the evening—or perhaps because it was evening. The bustling market was filled with life.

Food stalls, drink vendors, shops selling all kinds of goods, even weapons stretched as far as the eye could see.

“Thief tools aren’t something you usually find in regular weapon shops. I’ve been using a lot lately, so it’s time to restock.”

Unlike my sword or Lena’s staff, which only needed occasional maintenance, Nina’s throwing knives and tools were frequently lost or worn out. Her expenses were naturally higher than anyone else’s in the group.

“So, I’m your designated pack mule, huh?”

“Bingo. But hey, your reward is… this♪”

Snuggle-snuggle~♡

Teasing me, she pressed her chest against my arm and rubbed herself against me.

“I-I don’t need it! Please, stop doing that—it’s embarrassing…”

“Don’t be shy♡ Work deserves fair compensation, after all. Enjoy it as much as you like♡”

Far from being a reward, it felt more like Nina was enjoying herself as she pressed into me.

The stares from the people around us—some amused, some jealous—pierced through me.

Even as we moved through the market, that strange sensation stayed with me, making it hard to focus.

“Hey, old man? Can’t you lower the price on this a little? Pretty please♡”

After visiting a few shops, Nina finally found what she was looking for. Without missing a beat, she began negotiating for a discount.

She let go of me for a moment, turning toward the shopkeeper sitting with his wares spread out. Leaning forward, she emphasized her cleavage, which seemed ready to spill out of her barely-there top.

Both Fana-san and Nina were undeniably skilled negotiators.

I watched her absentmindedly, but something unfamiliar stirred in my chest.

It was a strange mix of loneliness, frustration, and something darker.

The feeling reminded me of what I’d felt when Fana-san spoke with the Guildmaster. When I thought about it, one clear answer surfaced.

(…Am I jealous? Do I hate seeing a teammate—someone who isn’t even my girlfriend—flirting with others?)

The realization hit like a bolt, lodging itself firmly in my chest.

What a small, petty man I am. Pathetic. What am I even thinking?

No matter how much I tried to deny it, the dark emotions swirled and grew.

“Hey. Hey! Shin, what’s wrong? We’re done shopping.”

“Huh?! Oh, uh, sorry, I was lost in thought…”

Nina’s voice snapped me back. Looking up, I saw her holding a heavy-looking bag. Behind her, the shopkeeper was leering at her retreating figure.

“Geez, get it together, will you? Here, pack mule♪”

“Oh, right.”

I took the bag from her without thinking. It was heavier than I expected, almost like the weight mirrored the pressure in my chest.

“Hey, Nina… about, uh, what you did…”

Before I could think it through, the words slipped out.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Well, you know, with the shopkeeper…”

My vague response didn’t register at first.

“Huh? What do you mean? If you don’t say it clearly, I won’t get it. What’s with your red face?”

“Well, uh, your body…”

“…Body? Body as in—oh? Ahaha… heh heh♡”

Her expression shifted from confusion to realization, and then to a mischievous grin.

It felt like I’d just been caught red-handed. Her narrowed eyes locked onto me, a mix of teasing and amusement shining in them.

“So, you mean this? My chest—like this♡”

Soft press~♡

Her adorable face tilted down slightly, revealing a deeper glimpse of her cleavage as she pushed her chest together with her arms.

“N-Nina…”

My thoughts derailed as my eyes were drawn to the soft, round shapes below. Even though I knew better, my gaze betrayed me, fixating on her ample chest—something I’d experienced many times before.

“Haha, are you seriously jealous because I let the old guy see these? These big…”

Gentle jiggle~♡

Her chest swayed slightly, as if it made a sound.

“And soft breasts♡ Like this.”

Firm press~ Firm squish~♡

She pushed and squished her chest in exaggerated motions, emphasizing its elasticity.

“You want to keep them all to yourself, huh? Heh heh… You’re so cute when you’re like this♡”

“A-ahhh…”

She wasn’t even touching me. There was no magic involved, no physical contact.

Yet the sheer visual force of her display brought back every sensation I’d felt before, slowly eroding my composure.

“Well, I guess I have no choice. Hey, let’s go somewhere private, okay?♡”

Soft squish~♡

Her chest enveloped my arm again.

A shiver ran through me, scattering my thoughts completely.

“C’mon, let’s go♡”

As if being taken by kidnappers, I was led away from the hustle and bustle, through gaps between buildings, to places without any sign of people, without resistance.

“Even a great magic swordsman like you is left powerless like this♪”

I found myself squeezed between the wall and Nina.

There was no escape behind me, and the same was true in front. If I moved even a little, her ample breasts would shift accordingly, draining my strength. It was an inescapable prison.

“Come on… I’m smaller, so just crouch a bit, okay? ♡”

“W-what… doing this in a place like this…!?”

“Nyahaha♡ Oh, come on, don’t say lines like that──”

Her mouth curved into a laugh. Nina’s face rose within my vision. What was once looking down at me now met my gaze, shifting to a position where I was looking up at her. It was as if she was growing bigger. No,

“──Let’s make sure you resist properly before you say that♡”

…I was just lowering my hips on my own.

As I slid down, rubbing my clothes and head against the wall, my gaze naturally moved away from her expression.

Her eyes, lovingly mischievous, disappeared, and my gaze was fixed firmly on her voluptuous breasts that seemed ready to jump out right before my eyes.

“A-uh, even if you say that…”

“Don’t make a pitiful sound, okay♡ Once it’s like this, you already know, right? Here, hug-hug♡”

Her breasts were so close to my nose.

A sweet scent invaded my brain smoothly, and the way they swayed just by her speaking began to disrupt my thoughts.

In a place like this. In a situation where someone might just pass by, this kind of posture is unacceptable. The more I thought about it, the more my heart pounded in anticipation.

“N-no way… it’s no good, Nina…♡”

“Nyahaha♡ Don’t say things like that, okay? If you say it like that──No good♡ Here… squeeze♡”

Her mountains swayed gently.

I’m going to come. I’m going to be enveloped♡.

Soft squish~♡

My face was, as if it was natural, being crushed by her breasts.

The softness that pressed my nose and caressed my cheeks gave me only comfort, leaving no room for unnecessary thoughts.

“…Really, you became helpless so easily♡ Honestly, you’re so gullible♡”

Snuggle~♡ Firm press~♡ *Soft bounce~♡

Fluffy waves attacked like the ebb and flow of the tide, and a warm feeling began to grow in my heart.

“Hey? It’s me──no, it’s all of us. Sometimes we have to use our bodies a bit for negotiations and information gathering, but it’s not like we enjoy doing it, okay? It’s just more convenient that way.”

Her voice was like a mother talking to a child.

“Think of it as using skills for the party. It’s the same as your support magic. Besides… like this──”

Soft bounce~♡ Jiggle jiggle~♡

A gentle vibration, like being in a cradle. It might be rude, but the embrace felt full of affection, unlike Nina’s usual teasing demeanor.

“──Only you let me touch your body and make you feel good, right?”

Her voice was somewhat shy. Just hearing it cleared away the dark, murky feelings swirling in my chest earlier.

“So, um, what was I saying… don’t worry too much! A man who gets jealous is lame! Just stay calm!”

She ruffled my hair to cover up my embarrassment. Her rough hands contrasted with the affection she clearly felt, making me feel like I might melt.

“A-ahh… uugh♡ Yeah…♡”

“You’re making happy sounds while saying embarrassing things♡ If you understand… just enjoy it♡”

Breathing became a mix of suffocation and excitement, and my body started to convulse. Noticing my reaction, Nina’s hands began to crawl over my body.

“…Well, peeing outside would be too bad──”

Her soft fingertips traveled up my navel, abdomen, and sides, reaching,

“──Let’s make you feel good here♡”

Nipples, the other weak spot for men besides the penis.

Tickle~♡ Jiggle~♡ Soft graze~♡

“Mmm, mmmmmm…♡”

A sweet moan slipped out reflexively, hard to believe my own throat was shaking.

“Nihihi. You like this as much as ‘pyuppyu’♡ Here, in a place where there might be people nearby, just feel it twitch~♡… squeeze♡ squeeze♡”

Every time they were pinched and twisted, an electric current ran through my body, and the strength drained from my legs and waist.

Pleasure born from the nipples moved up and down, caressing the inside like being lovingly stroked. It tingled the sensitive parts deep in my groin.

“Being buried in your breasts makes my head go mushy♡ Playing with my nipples makes my body twitch♡ Even though you’re stronger, I can’t resist at all♡ It would be embarrassing if someone else saw this♡”

The lascivious touches and the pleasant pressure on my breasts were unbearable on their own, and with the added verbal taunts accelerating my shame, I couldn’t resist.

“Hey, hey, I’m making your nipples work to prevent you from peeing, but below… you’re getting wet♡ Is that pathetic stain okay? What will you do when you go home♡”

My penis, which hadn’t been touched, throbbed and released pre-cum as if begging.

Even though she knew it would end up like this, she persistently teased me about it. The more she said, the more my body twitched violently.

“Haha, your nipples are as sensitive as a girl’s♡… Well, we developed it ourselves, though♡ Kufufu♡”

“Fugah, b-but this… mmm… I can’t take it anymore…”

It feels good. Frustrating. Happy. Embarrassed. Without being able to sort out these emotions that came one after another, the fantasies and pleasure as if my penis and nipples were connected bubbled up endlessly, entwining my body and mind.

“Nihi. Making it strong like this♡”

When the tip was squeezed tightly, a strong shock hit me. Unable to help, the back of my closed eyelids turned bright white as if sunburned.

“Like this, gently stroking♡”

Suddenly, with the pressure of touching or not touching, my body relaxed, and comfort spread throughout me as if slipping through gaps.

“Mmm…♡ U, uuu…♡ Ni, Nina… I can’t take it… I can’t anymore♡”

When it approached, it retreated, and then heightened to another climax. My impatient heart, unable to withstand the time, unconsciously whispered requests.

“Ah? Already at your limit, huh♡ No good──”

An unforgiving declaration that made my head feel like it was going to explode. However, her words continued.

“──I mean, I’d like to say that, but doing this outside is too dangerous, so ♡ I have no choice. I’ll let you come♡… then, squeeze your breasts tightly♡”

Soft squish~♡

With a tone as if soothing a selfish child, she hugged me tighter in her cleavage.

A embrace like an angel—no, a little devil—that suffocated my breath and sent me to heaven.

It was suffocating. But it felt good. I wanted to stay like this forever. My dependence on her chest was stirred up and uncurable.

“And your nipples are so pinched♡ How about it? They’re being twisted so you can’t stand it, right? Here, kiss-kiss♡ Without touching your penis──”

Her fingertips continuously assaulted me, unable to withstand or escape the stimulation.

I’m going to come. I’m going to go crazy.

Already──

“──Make cute sounds like a girl… Come♡ Squeeze, squeeze~♡”

──Come♡

“──Uuuu! Nnnnuh♡ N, nnnnuh♡”

Even with my lips tightly closed, moans leaked out from the gaps.

Pulling, twisting, and scratching my nipples to draw out my voice.

“Here, come♡ The good feeling overflowing from deep inside is unstoppable♡”

A pleasure that made my body tremble all over, different from the release feeling of ejaculation, and it didn’t end.

“A-ya…♡ This is impossible♡”

“Even if you tremble and say it reluctantly, it has no persuasive power♡ Here, come♡ Just keep coming endlessly♡”

An ongoing state of ecstasy. It didn’t fade, but instead, the longer time passed and the more my nipples were teased, the more intensely enjoyable and frustrating it became, violating me.

Tickle~♡ Hiyahaha~♪ Bikun bikun~♡ “You’re trembling so much, it’s amazing♡ Seriously, you’re climaxing like a girl♡”

She looked at me, drooling and my vision flickering, enjoying it.

Until the act ended, my head was shaken up and down repeatedly, and I had no doubt it melted away.

“Phew… how was it?”

Finally released, Nina looked at me with a sly smile in her narrowed eyes, muttering such a straightforward word.

“A-aaa… shu, shuki… Nina, I love you, this is love…♡”

A burning pain and new stimulation arrived as the wind touched it. My drowsy head couldn’t think of words and revealed my true feelings.

“Nihihi. Seriously, you fall in love so quickly♡ ──Here, after a little more rest, we’ll properly go home♪”

Her whisper sounded like telling a younger child. At the same time, as she patted my head, a comforting feeling that felt like directly touching my brain made me relax completely.

“U, uuu… yeah… I got it…♡”

“──Really. Such a cuddly person♪”

In her exasperated voice, I could feel deep affection.
