"So delicious..."
As Shizuku took a bath, Suzuki had been cooking, and, of course, he didn't cook something complicated; he just bought some frozen meat, instant seasonings, and various other necessary items for their dinner.
So, what did he cook?
Twice ginger pork, white rice, salad, several fruits, and mineral waters.
Yes, water, since drinking clean, mineral water was the ultimate flex in this era.
"...your skill is so cheating."
Shizuku stared at her boyfriend speechlessly.
"Here."
Yet, Suzuki only smiled as he peeled a Valencia orange for Shizuku.
"Thanks."
Shizuku took the orange as she sat lazily on the soft carpet of his penthouse, watching a comedic show, her tender, white feet squirming as she felt so comfortable all over after a nice, warm bath with the most luxurious shampoo and soaps.
Her skin was moist, rosy, seemingly so beautiful, yet also charming because she was so relaxed, especially when Suzuki also bought her a new, comfortable pair of pajamas, and even a squishy, cute doll that she could hug and adore.
Still, she liked to hug her boyfriend more, thought.
"Wait a moment! I won't let you go until you explain!"
Shizuku, who had eaten her orange, quickly realized that she had forgotten to ask her boyfriend the question that she wanted to ask the most!
"What do you mean?"
What could Suzuki say?
"Can we even determine what our job is? I think that the world will choose it based on our personality and other factors, and isn't that the reason why your job is a swordsman?"
"But, I am jealous of your job!"
Yes, Shizuku was jealous!
"Even if you get my job, you likely won't make any money. Just stick with your sword."
"I hate you!"
Shizuku clung to him as she bit his shoulder unhappily!
"Stop! Stop biting me!"
He felt his body react strangely when he felt her warm mouth and her teeth gently biting his shoulder.
"It's a punishment for keeping everything for yourselves!"
"But, I share it with you, right? And it isn't easy to make money."
"Well... that's true." Shizuku nodded as she sat on his lap, thinking that making money wasn't as easy as it seemed. Even if her family's dojo was famous, it didn't mean they were wealthy, as they relied on student tuition, sponsors, and other sources, which kept her parents busy.
Also, as Suzuki had said, even if she got Suzuki's job, Merchant, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to use it well, and it was better for her to stick with her sword, so at least she could protect him somehow.
"There is no need for you to protect me. In the worst case, I will enter this penthouse, and no one will chase or attack me when I am inside."
His penthouse could also serve as a defense mechanism, as it was located in a separate space and he was the only one who could enter. More importantly, the door could be opened anywhere, which also worked like an "Anywhere Door" of a certain famous anime story.
"Then, can we go back?"
If Suzuki could open this door anywhere, then he could lead them back, right?
"Unfortunately, no."
Suzuki sighed as he gently caressed Shizuku's hair.
"I see..."
Shizuku was disappointed, but she knew she was lucky to be able to stay with her boyfriend.
Still, what about the others?
"By the way..."
"Hmm?"
"C-Can Kaori enter, too?"
If possible, Shizuku wanted Kaori to stay in this penthouse, too.
"...I don't mind."
Suzuki knew that Shizuku and Kaori were best friends; they were inseparable.
But—
"She might take a bath in this place, you know?"
"...." Shizuku.
"Also, she is too empathetic. What if she tells everyone?" Suzuki didn't mind Kaori, but this girl was too kind. "I am selfish, and I only care about those whom I care about, and that's you, but I trust her, and I know her. If you think that you can keep my skills a secret, then I don't mind."
"Will you peek at her?" Shizuku stared at him with a suspicious gaze.
"...among all the things that I talked to you about before, you picked that as the thing that you are worried about?"
"But, you said that Kaori might take a bath at your place!"
"She will! You have seen the penthouse's bathroom, right? They only prepare you a bucket of water and a towel! Here? My bathroom has a massive, deep-soaking Ofuro tub out of solid Hinoki (Japanese Cypress) wood. The water is magically heated to a constant, perfect 104°F (40°C) and infused with Earth bath salts. It completely and instantly purges lactic acid and fatigue from the body.
"With all of that, do you think she won't enter?"
"..." Shizuku.
"Will you peek at her?"
"....." Suzuki.
"I have you. Why do I need her?"
Suzuki put his hands on Shizuku's slender waist. Despite her hard training in swordsmanship, her body was soft, and it felt so comfortable to hug her.
"Pervert~!"
Yet, Shizuku was embarrassed, as she could feel something that grew hard and immense on her bottom. Still, she didn't hate it.
"Sorry."
However, Suzuki respected Shizuku and knew it was wrong of him to react so strongly.
"You have shown me this reaction a lot of times, you know?"
"That's why I apologize again."
Still, the two of them hadn't done it, as Suzuki wanted to wait till they became university students. Yet now?
Even though their age was at the proper time, they were unable to attend university because they were practically stuck in another world.
Suzuki was naturally disappointed, but all of a sudden, his lips were taken.
Shizuku kissed his lips, clinging to him, as her tongue entered deep into his mouth, clearly moved by her naughty desire. If others saw her now, they would be shocked, as no one would expect a stoic, strong, and capable young woman like her to become such a lewd woman, yet this part of her could only be seen by him, and he loved this part of her.
As they kissed, their hands kept moving, their bodies became even closer, as they felt the heat on their bodies become stronger, but during this time, Suzuki usually held it, and Shizuku also stopped him, as going further was bad, but this time, in this moment—
"Do you want to do it?"
Her body was already lying on the bed, and her long, beautiful hair was no longer in a ponytail. Instead, they scattered on the bed, making her appearance even more erotic as she uttered those words.
Suzuki felt his throat dry, and he nodded as he softly said, "I love you, Shizuku."
"I love you, too, Suzuki-kun..."
Slowly, gently, he wasn't in a hurry, yet as the warm, tight feeling enveloped him and she clung to him, he pressed further, which made her cling to him even tighter.
Yet, unlike a normal girl, her body was strong, so soon, she quickly felt the ecstasy that came from their lovemaking before completely letting herself go, and as she tasted her wonderful first time with her most beloved man~!

It will be subtle, okay?
I won't be using a clear description, since well... it's safer for my writing, too.
