When he opened his eyes again, the world was noticeably brighter.
Not only that, but his eyes seemed to have an automatic adjustment function.
It was like a camera lens that could auto-zoom, eliminating the need for him to physically move to adjust his field of vision.
If he wanted to see details, his vision would naturally zoom in.
If he wanted to observe the entire scene, his vision would automatically pull back.
The Blue-quality [Dynamic Vision] had only restored his slightly nearsighted eyes to normal and made them marginally better than average.
He hadn't expected the upgraded Purple-quality talent, [True Sight], to be this powerful.
Furthermore, it came with a three-second active ability.
Hoshimiya Yuu tested it out; the so-called 'Bullet Time' was exactly what he thought it was.
The moment he concentrated fully, the entire world seemed to hit the pause button.
However, once 'Bullet Time' ended, Hoshimiya Yuu felt a strong sense of exhaustion.
After carefully assessing his condition, he estimated he would need to rest for about a day before he could use it again.
This was with the boost from his Transmigrator talent, which meant his mental strength far exceeded the average person.
Otherwise, the recovery time would be even longer.
Even though it only lasted three seconds and had a long 24-hour cooldown, it was still an incredible skill.
Used at the right moment, it could be the decisive factor, whether for a finishing blow or a dramatic turnaround.
"If I had known the consumption was so great, I would have waited until I got back to try it…"
Muttering to himself as he looked at the apartment number, Hoshimiya Yuu pulled himself together and pressed the doorbell.
Inside, Hitomi Kuujo stared at the clock on the wall. It was ten minutes before nine.
Hearing the doorbell, she immediately stood up from the sofa and quickly walked to the entrance.
Checking the peephole to confirm the visitor was Hoshimiya Yuu, she unlatched the security chain.
"Mr. Hoshimiya, please come in."
"Excuse the intrusion."
As soon as Hoshimiya Yuu stepped through the door, Hitomi Kuujo immediately shut the iron security door, as if afraid someone might try to force their way in.
It seems something really has happened to make Hitomi Kuujo so eager to see me, Hoshimiya Yuu thought speculatively, observing the actions of the chestnut-haired beauty before him.
He had expected Hitomi Kuujo to immediately explain the reason for the urgent meeting or question him about how he knew her murder plan in advance.
Instead, Hitomi Kuujo pointed to the table and apologized, "Mr. Hoshimiya must not have had dinner yet. I only had time to prepare this much on such short notice."
Looking at the plates of steaming dishes, and the red wine and stemware already set out, Hoshimiya Yuu didn't stand on ceremony; he was indeed hungry.
"Miss Hitomi, that's very thoughtful of you. I've been busy all day and haven't had dinner yet."
Eating and drinking while discussing business wasn't a bad idea.
In fact, he preferred this way of doing things.
Discussing matters over drinks was a memory etched deep into his soul.
"Miss Hitomi, please join me."
"Then I won't be shy."
Hitomi Kuujo smiled slightly, gathered her skirt, and sat across from Hoshimiya Yuu.
She poured the already opened and aerated red wine into the stemware—half a glass for Hoshimiya Yuu and half for herself.
Looking at the wine, which was blood-red under the light, Hoshimiya Yuu could tell it was expensive, even though he had never studied wine.
He picked up the glass, swirled it, took a delicate sip, and then said slowly, "Miss Hitomi, please speak freely. Since I am here, I will certainly give you a satisfactory answer."
Hitomi Kuujo took a sip of wine in return and then stared at Hoshimiya Yuu.
Why does he seem even more handsome after only a few days?
Although nearly three months had passed due to the time jumps, the perceived time was indeed only a few days.
If Hoshimiya Yuu hadn't idly recorded events in a notebook, even he, a transmigrator, wouldn't have noticed the time inconsistency.
As someone born and raised in the Conan world, Hitomi Kuujo naturally didn't sense anything unusual.
Once Hoshimiya Yuu was half-full, Hitomi Kuujo finally finished staring.
She worked hard to suppress the inexplicable, urgent desire rising within her and spoke according to her original plan. "Before discussing business, I feel we need to understand each other better, Mr. Hoshimiya."
"After all, apart from your name, I know absolutely nothing about you."
Why does it feel like this gymnastics beauty is targeting me?
Hoshimiya Yuu raised his gaze, seriously scrutinizing the gentle beauty before him, who was perfectly balanced between a girl and a mature woman.
For this meeting, Hitomi Kuujo had not only applied makeup but was even more exquisitely put together than the last time they met.
Perhaps because of the wine, a subtle blush colored her pale cheeks.
This added a touch of seduction and allure to her beautiful, youthful oval face.
She was young and vibrant, yet possessed a perfectly ripe, ready-to-be-plucked mature temptation.
Her figure was tall and slender, and years of gymnastics practice gave her an elegant and graceful quality.
It was a different kind of allure compared to voluptuous sexiness.
A cascade of soft, chestnut hair fell down her back, complementing the perfectly fitted pink and white nightgown, highlighting her gentle and serene temperament.
Because she was sitting, a pair of slender, straight legs were exposed to the light, reflecting an alluring sheen.
Her long, beautiful legs were crossed and occasionally shifted position.
A pair of delicate, pale feet would subtly lift as she moved, brushing against Hoshimiya Yuu's trousers almost continuously.
Under the detailed observation of [True Sight], Hoshimiya Yuu was certain that the beauty before him was deliberately flirting with him.
He just didn't know whether it was on a whim or premeditated.
Who cares? Why refuse beautiful meat that's brought right to your mouth?
Hoshimiya Yuu was not a passive person, especially after being reborn into the Conan world.
Only the lack of a rich, childless, 36D, long-legged benefactress to relieve him of the need to work had kept him a virgin until now.
Now, wealth was no longer important to Hoshimiya Yuu; she just had to be beautiful.
Even in the beautiful world of Conan, Hitomi Kuujo's looks and figure were above average.
As a first partner, she was perfectly adequate—even flawless.
Moreover, his observation just confirmed that this gymnastics beauty, outwardly gentle and reserved but inwardly bold and passionate, was also a virgin.
The flame Hoshimiya Yuu had suppressed for years began to surge, and his gaze towards the delicate beauty before him became intensely predatory.
Under the scrutiny of Hoshimiya Yuu's passionate gaze, the pink flush on Hitomi Kuujo's face deepened, and her beautiful blue eyes became hazy with mist.
Hoshimiya Yuu smiled, suddenly stood up, and pulled Hitomi Kuujo into his arms.
"Then let's get to know each other properly."
"Eek~ mm~"
Hitomi Kuujo had no intention of resisting. A soft moan escaped her throat, and she obediently pressed herself against Hoshimiya Yuu's chest.
Seeing the expectant look in Hitomi Kuujo's eyes, Hoshimiya Yuu didn't hesitate, quickly kissing her.
Both of them were first-timers, awkward at the beginning.
But they were adults, and in a relatively open country like Japan, even if they hadn't tasted the pork, they had seen the pig run.
Soon, Hoshimiya Yuu began to naturally and meticulously sample the girl's tender lips.
He gently captured Hitomi Kuujo's cherry lips, continuously opening his mouth to envelop hers.
When Hitomi Kuujo slowly began to coordinate with his movements, Hoshimiya Yuu began to gently nibble at her soft lips, giving her different sensations.
Gradually, the gymnastics beauty's face turned crimson, and her eyes became increasingly hazy.
"Mr. Hoshimiya… this feels so good…"
"Is kissing this enjoyable…"
