Volume 2 – Chapter 85 – Serving Water

“I’m going to take a glass of water, you want some?” I asked.

“Yeah, thanks. Maaan, I’m beat. Can’t move another muscle after today” said Rina, while throwing herself on the couch.

‘We barely moved at all, reading manga all day, but I’ll stay quiet’

As Rina was resting from our non-existent effort of the day, I went to the kitchen to take the glass of water that I offered.

As I was pouring the water, a conversation that I had with mom a few days ago crossed my mind.

“So, now that you manage to make Anna accept you, when are you gonna lay your hands on Rina?” (Yuria)

“Mom, are you mad?” (Me)

“I’m not mad” (Yuria)

“Really? You sound a little mad” (Me)

“I told you, I’m not mad” (Yuria)

“...okay. Then, are you jealous?” (Me)

“Why would I be jealous?” (Yuria)

“You just answered me” (Me)

“...” (Yuria)

“Okay, okay. Sorry, I won’t mess with you like that again” (Me)

“...then just say it already. When are you going to make a pass on Rina?” (Yuria)

“I’m thinking that it’s probably best if I create a situation where she makes the first move” (Me)

“Huuuh, that’s not going to work” (Yuria)

“...how so?” (Me)

“Rina is too shy with this situations. I can easily see how much she would be so bashful or troubled with the opportunity that the moment would just pass before she could do anything” (Yuria)

“Well, I could try to make the moment last for a little long” (Me)

“If you try to make the moment to continue for too much time it will only look forced, and that will just earn you a whole lot of trouble with her” (Yuria)

“...okay, then what do you suggest?” (Me)

“Just create the mood and make the first move. She will easily accept your advance” (Yuria)

“Just like that? Isn’t she going to cower and say that it was only a thing of the moment later?” (Me)

“Even if she did that, all you have to do is pressure her a little bit and she will just accept you immediately. After all the trouble that you had to spend time with her, by now she certainly is ready to take your relationship to the next step” (Yuria)

“...okay, then I’m going to take the risk. I’m going to make it happen after our date on this weekend” (Me)

“...good” (Yuria)

“...” (Me)

“...” (Yuria)

“...” (Me)

“Wh!? What are you doing?” (Yuria)

“I was being an idiot right now” (Me)

“W-What does that-” (Yuria)

“Here we are, embracing each other, and I’m talking about another person” (Me)

“...so you finally noticed your intransitiveness” (Yuria)

“Yeah, so let me do this, that way you’ll be the only person in my head for a while” (Me)

“You really are hopeless♥” (Yuria)

‘Okay, stop thinking about that. I might destroy my pants otherwise’

As that moment passed through my head, and I tried my best to not have the mother of all boners, I quickly opened the system.

‘System, show me the <Drugs> section of the shop’

[Acknowledge]

The system immediately opened the familiar window, only this time it was in a place that didn’t often visit.

<Shop>

<Drugs>

- Aphrodisiac;

- Numbing;

- Stimulant;

- Sleeping;

- Suggestive;

- Delusional.

I didn’t often visit the drug section of the system, since I wasn’t particularly interested in using them, but I had looked at it sometimes to know what was that I had at my disposal for use.

To my surprise, although I shouldn’t have, the options available in the store were tamer in comparison to what I had previously imagined. Apparently, none of the options on the system would cause any kind of harmful side effect, regardless of the one who ingested the drug was me or someone else.

As to why I was using the <Drug> section right now, it was more insurance than anything else. Like Yuria had said, Rina was likely much more willing to accept me than I initially thought, but I want to be completely certain.

And so, I decided that today I would use this part of the system for the first time. I thought for a moment if what I was doing was wrong, but considering everything that I had done until now I immediately discarded that thought afterward.

I went for the aphrodisiacs, which only opened another window of options. Inside of what kind of drug I wanted there were other options stating the effects of the drug, such as the method of absorption, the intensity of the effect, color, taste, etc.

I choose a tasteless and odorless powder and threw it in her glass of water. As for the intensity, it was only just enough to make her a little more susceptible to my skill [Pheromone Aura (Passive)]. After months of living with that skill, she and the rest of the women in the house had developed a small resistance to its effects, but with this drug, she would be much more susceptible to its effects.

I went back to the living room, and there she was sitting on the couch and watching TV, browsing through the channels trying to find something that could catch her interest.

“Here it is” I said, giving her the cup.

“Thanks” she said, not even hesitating in downing its content through her mouth.

“Puhah, I needed that” she said, sounding like someone that was about to die from dehydration.

“Why? There was no lacking of beverages in our booth. I think most of our money was spent just on drinks” I said, reprehending her a little just out of force of habit.

“Just felt like saying it” she said, without even looking in my direction.

I just shook my head in exasperation a plopped beside her, to which she didn’t oppose and even accommodated herself a little beside me.

We stayed in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying the presence of each other. There was a time that we would be just a little awkward around each other, mostly her, but right now we could just stay silent like that without a shred of tenseness between the two of us.

At some point I felt Rina shifting position, prompting me to look in her direction. She was rubbing her legs with each other in an uncomfortable manner and her cheeks had a red tinge on them.

‘So, it’s finally time to begin’
