"Nnnn!... I-it feels weird... Even though he didn't touch me..."
Keeping his fingers just high enough to brush the baby hairs, Daniel hovered over Elena as she lay on her back.
His fingers were just a millimeter above her skin.
Daniel was teasing the membrane of Elena's body heat with his own.
Beads of sweat rolled down Elena's flushed body. Her long bangs clung to her face, damp with sweat.
There was no logical reason for him to tease her like this.
It was pure instinct. Daniel just wanted to see Elena quivering with unbearable desire.
"T-touch me, please... It's driving me crazy..."
"I want you to be just a little more impatient. You're cute like this... Elena, and Sophia too."
Elena shivered, trying to lift herself up so Daniel's hand would meet her skin.
But Daniel brushed her movement away, continuing his maddeningly delicate touchless caress.
From over Daniel's back, Sophia quietly watched.
The way he handled Elena was so delicate, it was almost divine. He could read the subtle shifts of her breath and body before they even happened.
――He can fully grasp her movements before she makes them?
Sophia thought of swordplay. Most people couldn't master martial arts because they didn't even know their own body. If you could grasp your every movement, the exact degree of strength and control... there was nothing you couldn't master.
And if, on top of that, you strengthened your body further... it went beyond the realm of ordinary humans.
Sophia realized Daniel's mastery came from this.
The true rudiment of magic, one most people thought they'd already perfected, but abandoned too soon.
Magic here was always seen as something external. People trained spells for flashy effects, or poured effort into magical weapons. It was easier, more convenient, and more stable than inner growth.
But Daniel had gone the other way—complete mastery of himself.
――So that's the real nature of his strength... the pursuit of his inner self. Why are you so complete on your own?
"Aauuh!? S-suddenly you start touching me! Fuuaaahh… Ahhhn! My breasts... they're squeaking! It's embarrassing... I feel like my whole body's getting sensitive!"
Daniel had shifted from teasing to touching in an instant, and Elena's body arched, hips swinging as shocks of pleasure surged through her spine.
Her sensitivity skyrocketed.
"It's small but soft... different from Sophia. This spot's firmer than hers..."
Pinching her hardened nipple, Daniel rolled it sharply between his fingertips.
"My nipples! Hiii! Ahhhhnn!♥ Aahhhhnnn! I-I'm coming!♥"
Her body lifted as a clear climax shook through her. Drool slipped from the corner of her lips.
"Afuuh... I-I came just from my nipples... this is my first time... I've become such a slut since meeting you two..."
"No. You've always been like this. I just brought it out of you."
Daniel spoke plainly, while Elena twitched in the aftermath.
"Master... since that perverted woman already came once... I want you to make me climax with her too. I'm ready..."
Sophia whispered this against Daniel's ear, her lips brushing his skin.
――I can't believe the proud Sophia would ask me like this, especially with Elena here...
"You're too cute."
"Nn... B-because... you were just focusing on that woman... but I'm your number one slave, right?"
"Lilia— I mean, Sophia, you do this every day! Give me today at least!" Elena protested, her cheeks burning.
Daniel's cock strained, swollen with instinct, dripping pre-cum, pulsing with need.
Sophia reached behind him, gently gripping it, sliding her hand up and down.
A wet sound echoed faintly in the air.
"Ahn... You've been holding back so much... it feels amazing..."
Her slender fingers teased him, drawing out years of pent-up desire.
"I-I want to touch it too! It's not fair if only Sophia gets to! I'm a slave too!"
Elena reached out, grasping his tip.
Unlike Sophia's practiced hand, Elena's touch was clumsy, forceful, curious.
"Ahh... just touching it makes my stomach feel funny..."
"It's sensitive there... too much pressure hurts."
"S-sorry!... It's harder than I thought... the shaft's so stiff and bumpy, but the tip's soft and heavy... This part looks like it would rub inside perfectly... I-I want to mate!"
Her short fingers traced along the ridges, her other hand drifting lower to her own abdomen.
Old habits stirred—her urge to masturbate. She had done it countless times before, even sneaking it while traveling with them.
Daniel caught her hand before it could reach down.
"Sophia told you not to masturbate, didn't she? Wait. I'm not finished. I'll make you feel better than that, so hold on. Sophia's hand is getting warm..."
"Y-yes... I didn't even realize I was about to do it again... Is there something wrong with me?"
"Maybe sex addiction..."
――Or maybe Sophia and I are the same way...
"I-I've never done that before!" Elena said quickly.
"I've heard it can come from lack of love in childhood... or too much loneliness."
"Love... yeah. My parents were always gone, chasing work... they once told me their grave was more important than their own daughter. Then they were murdered by robbers... and I've been alone ever since... Maybe that's why..."
――Heavier than I thought...
Daniel's chest tightened. Maybe Elena wanted to see her parents again just to apologize...
He realized—everyone carried scars. This world wasn't a game.
"I'm sorry, Sophia. Can I spend a little more time with Elena?"
"Yes... If she's suffered that much, no one can blame you for indulging her. But thank me later, Daniel... and you, perverted woman."
Her pride wouldn't let her say it kindly, but her sympathy was clear.
"Lilia— I mean, Sophia... you're actually really kind, huh?"
"Yes, she is," Elena agreed instantly. "She just hides it. Sophia is beautiful... Can I touch your breasts? grope grope"
"Don't get carried away!" Sophia snapped, flustered.
Daniel smiled at the sight of the two bickering, naked but slowly warming to each other.
He slid his hand down to Elena's crotch. Her soft hair brushed his fingers, like a cat's fur.
Her labia squished as he parted them, warmth spilling onto his hand.
"NNahh!? Oooh!?♥"
"It's soaked... hot too."
"Ahnnn... being touched by someone feels so different... Ahhhn!♥ I'm cumming again!♥ My clit—ahhh it's too much!♥"
Her legs pinned up, hips lifting. Daniel slid a finger inside her, her body squeezing tight around it.
"Aahhh!♥ Your finger's inside!♥ I've never had anything go in this far!♥"
As he curved his finger upward, she arched, screaming.
Her body convulsed, climax after climax ripping through her until a sudden squirt gushed out, spraying his hand, soaking the sheets.
――She squirted!? Isn't that supposed to be a myth!?
"Nnnaaaahh!♥ I love you, Daniel! I love you so much!♥ Please make me cum more, more!♥ Use your cock next, not just your fingers!"
Her voice was desperate, honest.
For the first time in her life, Elena felt real love. Real connection. And she knew—she was truly a woman now.
――If we go all the way, I can't go back.
I'm sorry, Derek... but I don't care about you anymore
**********************************
After a long break, the three of them emerge from the [Treasure House of Dreams].
"Good. You can both come out now. No sign of the demon."
The first one to step out was Daniel. Always in order of combat ability, he was the one to check the safety of their surroundings.
When Daniel entered or left the treasury, he carefully inspected everything—no demons, no hidden dangers.
The treasure room was a strange, separate space where time itself seemed frozen. If it was safe when they went in, it should be safe when they came out too. But this wasn't some official rule, nor anything confirmed by others—it was something Daniel had tested himself. Even then, he didn't fully trust it.
"It's the same time as when we went in, right?" Elena asked.
"That's right," Daniel nodded. "Only our lifespan got shaved by half a day."
Daniel looked around carefully again.
—No problem. As expected.
"This spell is ridiculously useful for dungeon crawling. Especially when we're hauling treasure," Elena muttered, impressed.
"I don't mind it either," Daniel said. "In some treasure rooms, there's even a portal that lets you take the loot out directly. Makes it easy to return. I don't know if that applies here, but in my experience, it's pretty standard. The air feels like [Ganymede] too... maybe the same guy designed this place."
In [Ganymede], a warp zone had appeared among the treasures Daniel claimed.
It was ironic—dungeons would try to kill you until you beat them, but once you did, they treated you kindly, almost like a host rewarding a guest.
Daniel found himself thinking the dungeon reminded him a little of Sophia. Harsh when opposed, but strangely generous once you gave in.
The three of them pressed on through the dungeon as they had the day before.
According to Elena, they were likely only a day away from catching up with Derek's group.
Still, she admitted the calculation was based on incomplete information. In a place like this, accuracy was more of a guess than a fact.
After all, no one could even say for sure whether Derek and the others were still alive.
"...I like you, Daniel," Elena sighed softly as they walked. "I never thought it'd feel so good being touched by a man. Turns out, when your body feels good, your heart follows."
"I know what you mean," Sophia said gently. "I feel so safe when I'm wrapped in his warmth."
Daniel walked at the front while the two women followed side by side behind him.
He noticed Sophia's attitude toward Elena had softened.
"If you can make me like this with just your fingers," Elena teased, "then sex must be... unbelievable. Sophia was getting pretty worked up too..."
"It is," Sophia admitted calmly. "The climax is so overwhelming, I'm convinced it's the reason I was born. Maybe it's just the instinct to surrender to a strong male."
"Oooh!" Elena clapped, her voice bouncing happily through the dungeon corridors. "Sex, sex, sex with Daniel! I'm so excited!"
"...Do you even realize how shameless you sound?" Sophia muttered with a sigh.
"If anyone else overheard, they wouldn't even know what I was talking about," Elena said cheerfully. "That makes it more fun. I like the word... hehehe."
Sophia only gave her a look, silently scolding her for the strange laugh.
—They're both being embarrassing... Daniel thought, feeling his cheeks burn. He kept his eyes forward, pretending not to hear, though his ears were definitely red.
After Daniel had made Elena climax so many times she fainted, he had poured all of his pent-up desire into Sophia.
Even he had been surprised by his own impatience. Elena's eagerness and reactions had stoked him to the edge, and with Sophia, he had let it all out—again and again—until they finally collapsed in each other's arms.
When it was over, the three had slept side by side, woken up together, eaten, washed, and pressed onward.
It was about half a day later that it happened.
"Sex! I'm gonna have sex with Daniel—ah! Another trap! Why is it always me!?"
A sickening click echoed, freezing them in place.
Elena stopped dead.
She could feel it—her foot had pressed down on some hidden switch. If she moved, something terrible would trigger.
"Guess you're still too careless," Daniel said evenly. "Come on, jump over here. I'll handle the trap."
"Since you're so obsessed with sex, maybe it's time you experience the real horror of a dungeon firsthand," Sophia muttered dryly.
Daniel urged Elena with a calm hand gesture. "Just jump toward me. I'll cover it."
This wasn't the first time. Elena had triggered traps several times already. By now, neither Daniel nor Sophia panicked when it happened.
