Chapter 17: The Slow Corruption
"Should I answer or not?"
Her heart pounded in her chest like a drum, sweat beading on her forehead and soaking her nightgown.
Her pussy throbbed with nervous energy, adding to her discomfort.
\'Change the dress! Shit!\'
With a frantic thought, her nightgown disappeared, leaving her naked body exposed to her own eyes but hidden from Kaisen outside.
"Alice-san, are you not awake? It\'s me, Kaisen. Should I come in?"
"Uh-oh! I\'m naked! He\'ll see me!"
Panic surged through her.
Her heart raced like a runaway train as another round of knocks echoed through the room.
Knock! Knock!
"In-Inventory!"
She stammered out, flustered by the sudden interruption.
She quickly equipped the long green gown and the white top to cover herself up.
Knock! Knock!
"Alice-san? You in there?"
"Um...yeah, Kaisen-kun. Just gimme a sec."
She replied, her heart pounding wildly. She took a moment to compose herself, trying to calm her flushed face.
After a few deep breaths, she walked over to the door and unlocked it.
"Alice-sa-"
?!
Before he could knock again, Alice swung the door open and found herself face to face with Kaisen, standing there looking all... well, just wow.
His skin was practically glowing in the morning light, those intense red eyes of his seemed to bore right into her soul, and there was something different about his face—like he\'d leveled up in the looks department or something.
Despite her best efforts, a blush spread across her cheeks uncontrollably.
"C-come on in, Kaisen-kun. What brings you here so early?"
She stammered, trying to play it cool.
He stepped inside, his gaze lingering on Alice\'s figure, causing her cheeks to flush even more.
"You look really beautiful, Alice-san."
He complimented, his eyes still wandering.
Her heart skipped a beat at the unexpected praise.
"Oh, uh, thank you, Kaisen-kun. uh...have you eaten yet?"
She said, closing the door behind her to give herself a moment to compose herself.
"Not yet. I thought we could all grab breakfast together."
"I see. Should I go get Llyod-san?"
She suggested, eager to change the subject.
She couldn\'t shake the feeling that Kaisen didn\'t remember what happened last night at all, and she was more than happy to keep it that way.
"Not now. I wanted to talk to you alone, Alice-san. About something important."
He said, as he sat on her bed.
Alice felt a shiver run down her spine.
"W-what do you want to discuss?"
She asked, her voice wavering slightly.
"You know... about last night."
He replied, his eyes fixed on her.
"Last night? What are you talking about, Kaisen-kun?"
She asked, attempting to sound innocent, though her nerves were on edge.
She hoped he hadn\'t remembered anything from last night.
"That\'s exactly what I want to know, Alice-san! What happened last night? Did I sleepwalk? Did I do something? Did I hurt you?"
His questions came out rapid-fire, his tone urgent.
Alice swallowed hard.
\'He doesn\'t remember!\'
She felt a wave of relief wash over her, but embarrassment tinged her cheeks.
"Um... You were sleepwalking last night, Kaisen-kun. But don\'t worry, I stopped you before you could cause any trouble and guided you back to your room."
She lied, hoping he would buy her story.
"Oh, Alice-san!"
He burst out, springing from his seat to wrap her in a bear hug.
She was caught off guard, feeling like she was being squished by an overenthusiastic puppy.
"You saved me, Alice-san. Oh my God! I\'m sorry you had to babysit me. I feel like such a dumbass."
he blurted out, his voice muffled against her shoulder.
Feeling a mixture of amusement and arousal, she patted his back awkwardly.
"I-it\'s okay, Kaisen-kun. You were sleepwalking, happens to the best of us."
She stammered, trying to extricate herself gently from his grasp.
"But hey... thanks for staying up for me, Alice-san. I\'ll never forget that."
She felt a shiver run down her spine as his hands slid down her body.
It should have been innocent, but she knew something he didn\'t.
"K-kaisen-kun, your hands! There\'s a bug in the game that---eeek!"
Before she could finish, she felt it again. His hands cupping her ass cheeks.
The bug had kicked in, and Kaisen\'s hand was suddenly exploring her most intimate curves.
"Oh, shit!"
But this time, it felt different.
A surge of heat flooded her body as his touch ignited a fire within her, making her feel more alive and sensitive than ever before.
Her pussy quivered with excitement, the sensation only intensifying as his hands lingered on her ass cheeks.
"What was that, Alice-san? A bug? What bug?"
Kaisen innocently inquired, his fingers digging into her flesh, kneading it with increasing urgency.
\'Oh, crap!\'
Panic fluttered in her chest.
She didn\'t want to embarrass him by revealing the truth. He might never come near her again if he knew.
"N-nothing, Kaisen-kun. Just saying there might be bugs or glitches in the game we could... take advantage of."
She stammered, her breath hitching as she leaned into him, feeling the heat between them.
"Taking advantage of... ah, we can do that."
He grinned mischievously.
With a daring move, one of his hands pulled apart one of her ass cheeks, while the other hand slid between them.
Her eyes widened in surprise and excitement as she felt his fingers exploring the sensitive area between her cheeks.
The sensation sent a thrill through her body, igniting a fiery desire within her.
She couldn\'t figure out why she was feeling so damn sensitive, like every touch was setting her on fire.
"I\'m really sorry for taking advantage of your kindness, Alice-san. I mean, waking up in the middle of the night to help a patient... You\'re like the angel of the party."
His fingers trailed over her little asshole, and even though she was grateful for the long skirt offering some cover, it didn\'t stop his fingers from teasing her.
?!
"Ka-kaisen-kun..."
She whimpered, her breaths coming in short gasps as she squirmed, attempting to wriggle free from his grasp.
"What\'s wrong, Alice-san? Are you not okay with the hug? I can let go--"
"N-no, no, no! It\'s okay. Keep hugging me."
She interrupted hastily, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
"Really?"
He grinned, his finger tracing slow circles around her asshole, while his other hand gripped one ass cheek with such force it felt like he wanted to tear it off.
"Yes, Kaisen-kun. Hug me as long as you want. Th-this is what friends do. They help each other."
She stammered her agreement, leaning back into his embrace, feeling his finger continuing to circle her asshole.
"Your body feels... cozy, Alice-san. Like a fluffy pillow I\'d love to bury my face into."
He murmured, his words making Alice blush deeper.
"Kaisen-kun..."
She started to say, flustered.
"Ah, sorry about that, Alice-san. Thanks for saving me."
He said quickly, releasing her and taking a step back, his cheeks slightly flushed as well.
"Not just a pretty face, but a heart of gold too. If I were Llyod-san, I\'d never let go of you, Alice-san. I\'d want to hold you tight forever. Heck, I might\'ve even asked you to move into my room last night, but it seems Llyod-san had other plans. He must have been exhausted."
He rambled on, unaware of the effect his words were having on her.
She was blushing furiously, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn\'t articulate.
"Kaisen-kun..."
It was true; Llyod-san hadn\'t asked her to move in with him as Kaisen-kun had suggested.
And now that she thought about it, he hadn\'t even stayed with her while she was unconscious.
It was Kaisen-kun who had taken care of her, even coming up with a way to wake her up.
\'Has Llyod-san changed since coming to this world?\'
She wondered, her heart heavy with disappointment and a wave of sadness washed over Alice
"Oh, Alice-san, why are you sad?"
"Me? No, I\'m not sad, Kaisen-kun."
"Look at yourself in the mirror, you look so sad. Even your face is red."
He gently grabbing her shoulders and turning her towards the long mirror in her room.
She hesitated but obeyed, looking at her reflection.
Indeed, her face was red, and tears glistened in her eyes, betraying the sadness she had tried to conceal.
"I\'m fine, Kaisen-kun. Really."
"You don\'t look fine to me, Alice-san. Here, one more hug for your happiness."
He leaned in, wrapping his hands around her waist, pulling her closer.
Her heart raced with anticipation, knowing that a glitch was about to activate any moment now, given how close his hands were to her private parts.
Despite this, she remained silent, not voicing her thoughts.
Just like she thought, his hard cock snugly fit between her ass cheeks, making her heart race.
His arms moved, one hand reaching up to cup her breast, while the other journeyed down, resting on her pussy over her dress.
