EMBRACE OF A LOVER

CHAPTER 5

"Someone with such an aloof and untouchable persona like him, how could he possibly be into seductive types like this?!"

Ah, is that so?

Alright, I'll admit, my first attempt at seduction was a bit clumsy. Next time, for sure.
........

When Sailub opened his eyes again, there was clearly more emotion in them.

But I couldn't decipher what it was.

In that moment, I really hated myself for being such a clueless straight guy. I couldn't even read this kind of emotion.

He looked at me without moving, and I dared not move either.

So I communicated with the system in my mind.

"Are you sure he won't just slice me up once we get out of here?"

The system was indifferent, "Oh, come on, it's an illusion realm. Anything can happen."

"Your own pet turning into a human inside an illusion? Totally normal."

The system wiggled its imaginary hips in my head:

"Come on, get seductive! Use your nine-tailed fox charm."

Wait this is getting a little weird, isn't it?

"Sure, pets turning into humans is one thing, but playing with your own pet.. is that really normal?"

System: "Who cares if it leaves him traumatized? As long as you kiss him, my mission will be complete"

"Relax. Once you're out of the illusion, as long as you don't turn back into a human and deny everything, who could prove it was you?"

"Even if he suspects something does he have proof?"

You are really shameless.

Fine. For the sake of all the debt I owe, and to finally be free of this nagging system, I'll do it. Just one kiss.

But only one! No more!

I summoned my fluffy tails, blocking the view of the surrounding flower spirits.

Then I slipped one tail into Sailub's hand while he was distracted looking at it.

Seizing the moment, I quickly pecked him on the cheek.

System: "No, no, no! You need to kiss his lips! A kiss on the cheek doesn't count!"

But that's not what you said earlier!

System: "I'll even give you an extra 20 spirit stones! Hurry up, take the chance!"

Twenty spirit stones? Alright, deal!

While Sailub was still dazed from the cheek kiss, I quickly grabbed his chin and gave him a proper kiss on the lips.

I flicked my hair dramatically and added, "Don't fall in love with me. I'm just a legend- "

The system chuckled sneakily: "Mission complete! Quick, let's get out of here."

Feeling triumphant, I lifted my leg to climb off of Sailub.

But the next second, his arm wrapped around my waist.

What?

I glanced down.

Wait, wasn't he tied up just now?

"Systemi Help! He's hugging me!"

System. "Come on, you already kissed him. Why be scared of a hug?"
