Ryan spun around suddenly.
"What! What are you doing here? I gave you an order."
"Shut up. Why did you give me a repeat order? You know it's not valid."
"Repeat?"
"Yes, you already ordered that yesterday."
"If you knew that, why didn't you say anything! Get out of here!"
"Because I forgot. Don't blame me... I can't leave..."
Her face was flushed and her body was covered by one of the towels. However, both her thighs and shoulders were exposed, revealing remarkably pale, radiant skin.
Ryan watched with his back pressed against the stones of the pool as Helen approached; she walked with resistance.
'Is she really getting in with me? It works exactly like I designed it, but seeing it like this is so...'
"Don't look at me!" she shouted, even more flushed, but looking at him with anger.
"Stop shouting, you were the one who came in here in the first place." Ryan turned away. He positioned himself with his back to her, trying to maintain more composure than he actually felt.
Knowing what Mirian had done in the dungeon, he didn't know what Helen would be capable of this time, driven by that debt system.
The sound of water echoed as Helen entered.
Ryan's entire body tensed when he felt the contact against his back.
Of course. The system didn't specify the details. He remained absolutely still, staring straight ahead.
"Don't you even think about turning around!"
The sensation he felt against his back was gradually pressing harder against him.
"How soft..."
"You're a pervert," Helen complained with a hitch in her voice.
Ryan could hear her breathing, very close by. Although he kept his cool, he was fully aware of the effect of his skill.
From holding the same position for so long, Ryan's body began to tremble. The movement of his body caused more pressure against Helen's breasts.
"Ah..." She let out a low moan.
"Hey, don't make strange sounds!" Ryan let out his breath in a deep sigh.
'This situation is turning me on more than I thought, but doing something in this place... I'm still not sure if this is the game or another world, and something could go wrong.'
Ryan tried to get out of the water, but Helen pulled him back by the waist, forcing him back into the pool.
"Shut up. I just have to... wash your back, don't I?"
'Is that really all it is?'
Ryan remained motionless; he still didn't dare to look back. Helen pulled her chest away from Ryan's back and began to move her hands, scrubbing his back.
"But how did I end up stuck in this...?" Ryan murmured.
"Don't go complaining. You're a pervert. I should be the one complaining."
As she finished the sentence, she slapped Ryan's back, leaving a handprint. Ryan complained, turning toward her.
"Hey, don't look at me!" She covered Ryan's eyes with both hands, but the careless movement caused her towel to come loose.
"Kyaaaaaaaa!" Helen screamed, blushing deeply. As she grabbed the edges of the towel, she left her bare chest exposed right in front of Ryan's face.
"Don't look!"
He couldn't tear his gaze away from her breasts. They were large, incredibly pale, and at their center, a pink color so bright that it drew Ryan's entire focus.
"I can move freely now!" Helen shouted and went running out of the pool.
She disappeared from Ryan's sight.
'Seeing that debt bug in person... It's insane...'
Ryan took a deep breath.

"I have 120 points... I wonder what I should spend them on. Though, originally, the debt skill shouldn't even exist, much less grant me points. This character's job should only be to act as support."
Ryan reflected for a moment; he observed the statistics in detail. Sure, he knew well enough how to play an RPG, but playing one and being inside one are two completely different things.
That made him doubt what would be the best way to distribute his points. Since he only acquired points through the debt system, spending them lightly would be a problem.
After thinking it over carefully, he decided not to use them for now. He stepped out of the pool with a cooled-down mind and changed his clothes. He went out to the living area where Helen and Mirian were. When Helen saw him come out, she looked away, blushing.
"Are you finished?" Mirian asked.
"Yeah. You two can go in now if you want."
'But before that, there's something I want to test.'
"Inspect." he murmured.

'Her attributes are insane. She could kill me with a single hit. And once you pass level 110 you reach SS-rank, don't you?'
"What? What is it, Ryan? Why are you staring at me so much? Just forget what happened in the bathroom already," Helen grumbled.
"Heh, heh, heh. And what was it exactly that happened in the bathroom?" Mirian asked, looking at Helen with suspicion.
"Ah, just shut up! I'm going to go bathe," she said sharply and headed to the bathroom.
"Yes, it seems so." Ryan observed Mirian and spoke the phrase again to look at her statistics.
"Inspect."

"Wow, you two possess no luck at all," he murmured.
"I didn't hear what you said."
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going with Helen?"
"Yep. I'm going to go bathe now too."
As she finished saying that, she went straight to the bathroom. Ryan sat down in the living area on a white stone chair. It was quite comfortable.
'So this is a shelter for defeating the boss of the top floor. I wonder if more heroes come here. But after checking their stats, I know I need to strengthen myself and level up.'
"Status."

"For now, I'll put all 120 points into stamina."
When Ryan looked directly at the points option, a plus sign appeared next to each statistic.
He placed his finger on that sign and pressed until the 120 stat points disappeared. They had all been applied to stamina.
