After Mona left.
Only after having intimate moments with Barbara did Ken manage to calm his restless heart.
Their lips met in a tender kiss, making Barbara's heart flutter wildly. The sensation of Ken's lips against hers made her whole body tingle. When Ken's tongue gently traced her bottom lip, Barbara gasped softly, unsure but instinctively parting her lips.
"Is this okay?" Ken whispered, pulling back slightly to check on her.
Barbara nodded shyly, her cheeks flushed pink. Her hands trembled slightly as they rested on Ken's shoulders.
"I-I've never..." Barbara stammered, looking down bashfully. Ken smiled tenderly, stroking her cheek.
"We'll go slow. Tell me if you want to stop," Ken assured her, before leaning in to place feather-light kisses along Barbara's neck. The sensation made Barbara whimper softly, her body responding in ways she'd never experienced before.
Ken's experienced fingers slowly unbuttoned Barbara's blouse, giving her time to object. But Barbara was lost in the new sensations, her breathing quick and shallow. When Ken's hand brushed against her breast through her modest cotton bra, Barbara let out a surprised moan that made her blush furiously.
"You're so beautiful," Ken murmured, making Barbara's heart race faster. Her innocent mind was spinning with these new feelings, this burning need she'd never felt before. Without fully understanding why, she found herself sinking to her knees, drawn by an primal urge.
"I want to..." Barbara whispered, her hands fumbling with Ken's zipper. Ken stroked her hair gently, guiding her without rushing. When Ken's cock was revealed, Barbara's eyes widened in wonder. She'd never seen one in person before.
"Like this," Ken instructed softly, showing Barbara how to wrap her hand around the shaft. Barbara experimented tentatively, fascinated by how it twitched at her touch. Following her instincts, she leaned forward to give it a curious lick.
The taste and texture were foreign but not unpleasant. Encouraged by Ken's sharp intake of breath, Barbara grew bolder, taking the tip between her inexperienced lips. Ken's gentle guidance helped her find a rhythm, though she could only take a little at first.
"That's perfect," Ken praised as Barbara explored this new act. Her innocent enthusiasm made up for her lack of technique, and the sight of those pure eyes looking up questioningly drove Ken wild. Barbara's unpracticed mouth worked earnestly, driven by an innate desire to please.
When she felt Ken starting to pulse, Barbara pulled back in surprise. But Ken's warning came too late - Barbara's first taste of cum landed on her tongue, making her eyes go wide. She swallowed instinctively.
"Was that... did I do it right?" Barbara asked shyly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. Ken pulled her up for a tender kiss.
"You were perfect," Ken assured her.
"I should go…"
Barbara's sun-bright golden hair fell over her shoulders. With slender fingers she picked up a hair tie, quickly bound it into twin tails again, and put her deaconess cap back on.
Her white stockings, as fine and soft as mist, already bore a few stains.
Bending down, Barbara took off the stockings and tossed them into the trash. She accepted a clean pair from Ken and hurriedly pulled them on.
"Big-sis Barbara? Daddy?"
Klee's voice came from outside, making Barbara's movements even more flustered.
What had happened these past two days was like a young girl's springtime dream—sweet as honey in spring, warming her heart, yet with a stirring undercurrent.
Especially when facing Klee, Barbara couldn't help feeling a strange sense of guilt.
You call me big sister… yet this "big sister" calls your father "Daddy."
"Daddy, Klee's voice-over is finished!"
Seeing Ken come out of the room, little Klee hugged his thigh at once. Her adorable little face lifted, and those big eyes curved into crescent moons.
A picture-perfect "please praise me" look.
"Klee is amazing—truly Daddy's good girl."
Ken scooped Klee up, lifted her twice, then held her in his arms, giving her soft, squishy cheeks a gentle pinch.
Soft, springy, and oh-so-cute to the touch.
Ken took out a lollipop, tucked it into Klee's mouth, and booped her little nose.
"So sweet… hee-hee-hee. Big-sis Barbara's voice-over is done too, right? Daddy should reward Big-sis Barbara with a lollipop too!"
Munching her lollipop, Klee's mood was as sweet as sugar.
Although there were no fish to blow up after coming to Blue Star, the time spent with Daddy was even sweeter than honey.
"I finished as well."
Barbara's cheeks were flushed, and she avoided Klee's gaze.
Smiling, Ken said, "Daddy already rewarded Big-sis Barbara just now—she's had her lollipop."
"Really?" Klee's big eyes sparkled. "What flavor lollipop did Big-sis Barbara get? Was it tasty? Klee's is strawberry."
Barbara stammered for a long moment before blurting out, "M-milk flavor."
"Klee still likes strawberry best." Klee thought seriously, counting on her fingers. "Eh, we're going back to Mondstadt soon—time flies."
Although they now had a three-hour visitation window unlocked, because Barbara had come earlier at dawn, there were only two hours left.
"The Knights have been very busy lately. If things are hectic, Klee doesn't have to come every day."
"And… Daddy's partnering with Sister Mona to open a specialty shop in Mondstadt. If Klee or Barbara want snacks, you can pop over anytime."
After all, Klee was the Knights of Favonius' strongest combat force; Ken didn't want to waste her time.
Alice left Klee with the Knights not only out of trust, but also so she'd gain tempering through experience—he certainly couldn't deprive Klee of that intention.
Compared to a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, the brave Spark Knight was far better.
"Yay! Then when Klee goes back, Klee will go take a look!"
Klee had already gotten used to this back-and-forth travel. She slipped down from Ken's arms, took Barbara's hand, and stepped into the vortex gate.
…
Once all the invited companions had left, the large flat was suddenly just Ken alone.
He added suitable music to the promotional video he'd filmed for Mona and uploaded it directly to Facebook and the official Twitter.
As for the effects from elemental abilities, he chalked them all up to VFX.
As soon as the video went up, comments began pouring in under it on Facebook. Compared to Twitter, this was truly a second-dimension haven.
["Yo… so the official does know how to promote, huh? And with my new waifu, no less? Just tell us when this game actually launches, I'm dying over here."]
["With production values this high… it's gotta be pay-to-play, right? This is insane."]
["Holy crap!! I ran into this girl at an XX supermarket in the Magic City today. There was a handsome guy with her… was that the boss of Star Dome, Mr. Ken?"
["Like, can't you just make the game? Characters and cosers are resources that belong to everyone! Star Dome, do you even get that? I'm done with Mr. Ken."]
["Sorry, Barbara. Today's waifu is Mona."]
["Awooo, those black stockings… I've completely lost it!!"]
"…"
Though many fans griped about Star Dome's lackluster marketing, they were still utterly conquered by Mona.
A witch in black stockings, blue light spilling from her hands.
The glow rippled outward like water, the girl galloping across the waves.
Just when she looked her most dashing, she suddenly turned and smiled; her eyes, gentle and clear as a lake, rippled with mirth.
A once-cool expression sprang to life in an instant, two small pointed canines peeking out, white as glutinous rice.
That backward glance and smile felt like snow atop a mountain melting all at once, capturing countless hearts.
In his past life, Mona's fan-works hadn't quite hit the mark; here on Blue Star, she exploded in popularity overnight.
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the number flashing again and again, Ken couldn't help but feel amused.
