Kelly's body had already been fully prepared. So when Leo picked her up and tossed her onto the sheet he'd laid out earlier, his fingers slipped into her without much effort at all.
And honestly, it felt great.
So far, Kelly was the tightest of them all.
When his fingers explored inside, progress wasn't smooth. Even though Kelly had been mentally prepared, she was still far too tense.
Her already narrow entrance stiffened even more. Leo was being as gentle as he could, but the moment his fingers went in, Kelly couldn't help letting out a cry. Her legs snapped shut reflexively, trapping Leo's hand—and even his head—between her thighs.
"S-sorry…"
Blushing hard, Kelly spread her legs again, exposing the thoroughly soaked grass below. Compared to Tsunade's golden color, Kelly's black hair looked a bit messier—but that did nothing to diminish her appeal.
But when Leo reached out again, planning to pinch the "guardian" of her garden to help her relax, only a few light touches were enough.
Kelly suddenly arched her back—
—and a burst of liquid sprayed out.
Leo was instantly soaked again.
What left him speechless wasn't that, though—it was the fact that after releasing, Kelly completely collapsed, limp all over.
Looking at Kelly lying there like a salted fish, Leo was silent for a moment before asking:
"…How are you even faster than Tsunade?"
Tsunade climaxed quickly too, but she could at least hold on long enough for him to enjoy it. But Kelly…?
"I-I… I was just really nervous…"
Kelly turned her head away guiltily. She really had been too tense. The moment Leo kneaded the fruit of her garden, the overwhelming mental pressure and stimulation triggered her body's instinctive release.
"I've never done anything like this before… how would I know how to hold back…"
Her face burning red, Kelly looked away. In the Lawless Zone she teased men all the time, mocking them for being useless—but in truth, she hadn't even known what that really meant.
Now she did.
Looking at the still ferocious thing between Leo's legs, she couldn't help shrinking her neck back.
She was still nervous—what was she supposed to do?!
She'd been so excited earlier!
Kelly, Kelly—how could you be this useless?!
Pull yourself together!
Leo clicked his tongue, but he understood—this was a completely normal first-time reaction.
Just like some boys who finish instantly the first time they ever touch themselves, many girls who've never experienced pleasure end things almost immediately when they first try.
Kelly had already been close to her limit after all the teasing earlier. Not being able to endure the sudden surge of pleasure made sense.
Still, it left Leo feeling helpless—and oddly amused.
Erina had eaten drugged food.
Tsunade had been emotionally unstable.
The female merchant… didn't even have a soul—and he'd never encountered a hymen there.
So honestly, Kelly was the first woman whose "first time" he could actually guide and develop properly.
But now it seemed that first-timers really were troublesome.
"It's okay. I'll teach you slowly. You just need to relax and enjoy it."
Leo stroked Kelly's long legs. If he weren't already at the point of no return, he would absolutely spend more time admiring them.
Maybe he could find stockings today—otherwise it'd be a real shame.
He didn't even consider the socks Kelly had worn earlier. Those were clearly unusable now.
Because Kelly had already climaxed once, Leo waited for her to recover before continuing his caresses. She wasn't Tsunade—her recovery speed was much slower.
Finally, after gentle touches helped her relax again, Leo parted her once more. Kelly was ready to receive him again—
when suddenly—
"AAAAAAAH!!!"
"AAAAAH!!"
Shrill, piercing female screams rang out.
Leo jerked his head up.
What he saw were five or six white, Sadako-like zombies charging straight at them.
"Fuck!"
Without hesitation, an M60 appeared in Leo's hands, and he mowed the screaming zombies down in a burst of gunfire. The scorching bullets shredded them instantly.
But it was already too late.
Sounds erupted from the forest in all directions. Leo could clearly see countless zombies rushing toward them.
Leo jumped to his feet. Kelly pulled out her twin revolvers, pouring fire into the charging undead.
Dozens of zombies were nothing against their current firepower—but by the time they'd cleared them all, the mood was completely gone.
The overpowering stench of corpses and blood made both of them uncomfortable.
So even though Leo noticed the glistening sheen and silvery threads between Kelly's thighs, neither of them had any desire to continue.
The atmosphere was ruined. The place was filthy, reeking of blood.
"Damn it!!"
Kelly clearly realized it too. She raised her revolvers and unloaded angrily into the Sadako zombies that had attracted everything else.
She'd finally made up her mind.
She'd been ready to give herself to him.
And then—zombies.
That alone was enough to send her into a rage.
But after all that, she had no interest left. And restarting now would just be rushed anyway.
The two exchanged a look and silently agreed to talk about it later.
They got dressed, hopped on the motorcycle, and returned to camp—two frustrated people full of resentment—then started cooking.
Lux had no idea why Kelly and Leo looked the way they did. She didn't even guess what had almost happened.
Rias, however, sniffed the air and immediately understood what had gone on.
What puzzled her was why—when both Leo and Kelly had clearly been ready—it still ended like this.
Was it because Kelly yielded too little energy?
Rias thought about it.
Even though she planned to return on her own and not rely on Leo, she'd already prepared herself mentally for the possibility of doing something like that with him if necessary.
So she paid attention.
"Uh… I'm full."
Leo shoveled down a few bites of stew and stood up.
"I'll go handle the workbench."
Kelly silently put her chopsticks down. She was in a terrible mood and planned to modify some weapons to blow off steam tomorrow.
After all, she was heading back to the battlefield.
As for doing that kind of thing with Leo—there'd be time. Kelly was confident she could get it done in a single day.
So she headed for the workbench.
"What an annoying world…"
Leo crawled back into his warm bed, muttered a curse, and closed his eyes.
Kelly would probably be busy until the trader closed. Which meant he couldn't even visit the trader.
And doing it here? Kelly probably wouldn't agree.
In other words, thanks to those damn zombies—he'd be sleeping alone tonight.
But just as he drifted off, he vaguely heard someone calling his name. He responded groggily—
—and then felt something strangely comfortable.
Wet.
And something soft brushing against his brother.
Leo snapped awake instantly.
And realized something very important.
Someone alive was biting him.
He lifted his head, thinking it was Kelly. Just as he pressed a hand to the person's head, planning to repay her later—
he saw blonde hair.
And then—
Lux's face.
