"Mmmph... Nnngh!!!!"
Completely caught off guard by the sudden, utterly non-negotiable deep kiss from the uber-wealthy Eden—who hadn't even bothered with a warning—Lunelle was in a bind.
Terrified that the slightest excess of force might injure Eden, whose physique was still within ordinary human limits at this moment, she could only endure this fierce, utterly shameless 'assault' with a mix of utter helplessness and profound 'delight'!
After all, this intimate contact had been initiated entirely by the big spender Eden herself.
So, as long as Lunelle kept up the surface-level act of struggling, she could legitimately savor the wonderful sensation of being dominated and held close by the magnate.
Let's be clear here: while Eden was a world-class idol and artist, as well as a heavyweight actress of immense skill, she had never taken on a role that involved kiss scenes.
So this Eden, who now appeared so seductive and even indecent, was in truth a pure, untainted maiden—one whom even her dear close friend Elysia hadn't had a chance to lay a kiss on.
But precisely because Eden had preserved her first kiss until now, one couldn't expect her to have much experience in this department.
If not for the fact that Eden had previously spent considerable time cramming on "forbidden works" depicting "girl-on-girl intimacy," the current Eden might still naively believe that a mere lip-to-lip kiss with "Seele-sensei" would be enough to get her beloved teacher pregnant with her child!
However, every wife who attempted to get close to Lunelle appeared, on the surface, to be highly experienced—each one seemingly a bewitching, curvaceous, and seasoned mature older sister type.
But when it actually came to intimate contact, beneath that facade of maturity, every single one of these "mature older sisters" was, in reality, just a pure little girl utterly untouched in the ways of the world!
At the very least, the Snake wife who couldn't restrain her inner desires and forced intimacy upon Lunelle, Himeko, and the most heavyweight of all, the great wife Dark Seele—without exception, they were all exactly like this.
But in terms of actual circumstances, it was only when Lunelle was pinned down by her great wife Dark Seele for zero-distance intimacy that she herself was genuinely a complete novice, knowing absolutely nothing about girl-on-girl intimacy.
After Dark Seele, within her consciousness, had thoroughly 'devoured' the adorable little Seele, every wife in the simulations who forcibly engaged in intimate relations with little Seele thereafter couldn't possibly have more experience in zero-distance intimacy than Lunelle, this soft, seemingly naive creature on the surface!
Now, held tightly in Eden's arms and subjected to a furious 'pummeling,' Lunelle might appear on the surface like a mere 'small fry' being casually bullied by the magnate.
However, since Eden's experience in kissing was merely based on mimicking scenes from certain films, Lunelle couldn't help but feel a little awkward as she realized that Eden's aggressive kissing technique seemed just a tad...
A bit lackluster?
After all, Eden's move was driven purely by an intense instinctual craving for little Seele.
During the kiss, it was just a disorderly 'churning of the seas,' followed by restless, wicked claws launching an 'extremely' shameless, all-out assault.
But even setting aside the great wife Dark Seele, who currently resided in Lunelle's mental space and, due to too many past intimacies, knew exactly where all of Lunelle's sensitive spots were located...
Even compared to Himeko, who had recently latched onto Lunelle, Lunelle could clearly perceive the stiffness and clumsiness in Eden's intimate movements.
'She looks like she wants to devour me whole right here and now, but when it actually comes down to it, is this really all she's got?'
Unconsciously, Lunelle silently mocked in her heart the 'small fry' level of Eden's intimate techniques and experience.
However, such suicidal thoughts were naturally not something Lunelle dared utter aloud in front of the currently somewhat unhinged-seeming Eden.
After all, while Eden's 'small fry' status was a relative objective fact, mocking a somewhat pathological, hardcore lesbian individual for their mediocre kissing and intimate skills would be akin to an old married couple in the bedroom—where the husband fails after mere seconds—and the unsatisfied wife openly ridiculing her husband as nothing but a scrawny mutt.
The mocking impact would be nearly identical!
Though, due to Dark Seele's mischievous inclinations within her consciousness, Lunelle had to endure 'shedding a bit of blood' on the mental plane every time a wife pinned her down for a 'pummeling.'
But if, in the simulated reality, she acted too much like a 'bratty girl' and carelessly provoked or stimulated any wife teetering on the edge of a breakdown, then Lunelle felt that even with the superficial protection of her age, there was still a significant chance she'd be pinned down and 'beaten until bleeding' on the spot!!!
At the very least, looking at Eden now with those pink '❤︎' practically sparkling in her eyes, Lunelle estimated an over eighty percent probability that Eden, if subjected to additional stimulation from her, would trigger some terrifying, irrevocable event!
As for how Lunelle calculated that eighty percent probability?
Naturally, it was through 'putting herself at risk' a 'zillion' times with her great wife Dark Seele for testing purposes~
Meanwhile, Eden, experiencing the taste of the forbidden fruit for the first time, was utterly intoxicated in this infinitely wonderful state of tender bliss, and it lasted for a very, very long time.
It lasted until the Ferris wheel gondola carrying Eden and little Seele had slowly, leisurely ascended to the very peak.
Only then, breathless from kissing, did Eden reluctantly release the nearly suffocated little Lunelle.
After all, while Lunelle's physical constitution was indeed at Herrscher levels, just as even beauties have to... answer nature's call, Herrschers, to a certain extent, are still human—they need to eat, sleep, and, of course, breathe.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Honkai energy within is sufficient, a Herrscher can sustain themselves by absorbing it, replacing the need for food and alleviating physical fatigue.
Currently, Lunelle still secretly harbored within her the portion of Herrscher of Death core Honkai energy belonging to her great wife Dark Seele.
But to avoid drawing Fire Moth's attention again, and wearing a Honkai energy inhibitor, Lunelle had long grown accustomed to the 'mortal' daily life of having Herrscher-level physical stats but not a single drop of usable Honkai energy.
Though, it's worth mentioning, Lunelle's so-called 'mortal daily life' here merely meant a degradation from her former peak state—where, with ample internal Honkai energy, she could work ten days and nights non-stop with only slight fatigue—to a 'mortal state' where working three days and nights non-stop would start to make her a bit tired.
Ever since being sent to the Australian branch, Lunelle's daily life did involve being pinned in Himeko's arms for unrestrained cuddling whenever the older sister had free time, often until the dead of night.
But since Himeko herself had to work, Lunelle still managed to get three or four hours of stable rest each day.
"My adorable 'Seele-sensei'~ Ever since I first had the fortune to read your works and see your photo, I've been waiting for this day to come!"
"And now, I'll be frank with you, Teacher. I wonder if you would agree to go out with me? Of course! With the goal of marriage~ in mind!"
Gazing deeply at the lovely figure she held in her arms, Eden finally, in this dreamlike and romantic atmosphere, laid her cards on the table, revealing her true purpose to the adorable Lunelle.
When Eden, the absolute queen of wealth, so blatantly proposed starting a relationship with the explicit goal of "marriage" right off the bat...
And what truly mattered was that at this very moment, within the simulated space, Lunelle's core consciousness had—for the second time since Dark Seele, her number one wife—triggered a notification about successfully winning over a character in the simulation!!!
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully winning over target "Eden." Would you like to save and conclude this scenario?]
This sudden prompt from the simulator left Lunelle utterly stunned, questioning her very existence at how direct and bold this wealthy goddess was being!
After all, the simulator's notification meant that Eden—whom she'd only just met in reality for less than a day—wasn't merely lusting after her body.
No, this sincere confession meant Eden had genuinely, completely fallen for her!!!
Having been pursued by beautiful girl-wives in the simulation more than once now, Lunelle had, after some comparison, roughly figured out the standard the simulator used to judge a "successful conquest."
Aside from the hard requirement that her self-proclaimed wives had to actively confess their deep feelings and admit they loved little Seele...
The most crucial factor was that these "wives" had to sincerely fall for traits unique to Lunelle herself, beyond just the "Seele persona," for it to count as a true success!
Simply put, for it to be considered a successful conquest, the beautiful girl-wife in question couldn't just crave the body the simulator had prepared for Lunelle—the "Seele" shell.
She had to love the essence that was Lunelle inside!
That meant even if Lunelle shed this current "succubus exterior," or if she were somehow disfigured in the simulation someday, any target judged as "successfully conquered" would continue to love and adore Lunelle unconditionally.
And these unique aspects of Lunelle that could earn such unconditional love from her beautiful girl-wives?
Well, naturally, those had to be cultivated by Lunelle herself.
But it's worth mentioning here: among Lunelle's current wife candidates in the simulation, only Big Sis Himeko had initially taken an interest purely for the value Lunelle could bring to the Australia Branch.
She'd considered using herself and Hua in a sort of "political marriage" to permanently secure a high-value talent like Lunelle for Australia.
Though Himeko started with just "playing a role," over time, what began as an insincere act gradually transformed under Lunelle's overwhelming charm into genuinely craving Lunelle's body!
So much so that Himeko had now joined the ranks of wife candidates intently eyeing Lunelle, waiting for the moment she turned eighteen to claim her as their own.
Still, thanks to Lunelle's near-unconditional contributions to Australia's military and civilians, Himeko, as the branch's highest authority, had taken note of it all.
However, Lunelle had only been in Australia for a month or two at most.
Remember, it took a full ten months for Snake Wife to see Lunelle in a new light.
With a bit more time and Lunelle's selfless dedication, Himeko would surely shift from merely craving Lunelle's body to genuinely falling for the person she was!
As for Snake Wife, the main reason she hadn't been shown as "conquered" yet was the classic, textbook case of sheer stubborn pride.
Even if she'd long since completely fallen for little Seele in her heart, the intensely tsundere Snake Wife absolutely refused to be the one to admit her true feelings.
She even tried to indirectly force dear little Seele to wise up, hoping the sweetheart would take the initiative to beg her a dozen or twenty times before she'd reluctantly agree to date the little one she'd secretly adored for so long.
But since Lunelle was strictly forbidden from taking the initiative with romanceable targets...
Poor Snake Wife's master plan ended up completely falling apart, as expected.
Even the little Seele she once had under her thumb was transferred to Australia by the bull-headed higher-ups at headquarters, with no telling if she'd ever return in this lifetime.
Faced with such a heartfelt, romantic confession from the wealthy goddess Eden, Lunelle truly wanted to throw herself into Eden's arms right then—or even pin Eden down and show her "sincerity" in accepting the proposal by doing something utterly scandalous!
After all, not only had Eden prepared such a romantic confession scene, but the simulator had verified her feelings as genuine—she'd fallen for Lunelle herself, not just the "Seele-wife" exterior.
With the wealthy goddess being so upfront, wouldn't it break her heart if Lunelle didn't show some initiative in return?
But then she remembered the damned simulator's cursed restriction: "no taking initiative" in getting handsy with the wives.
So Lunelle's idea of "dealing with" Eden right then and there was clearly impossible.
All Lunelle could do was hesitate, her face a mask of inner struggle.
Just as the bright pink "❤︎" in Eden's eyes began fading toward gray, and she seemed on the verge of a dark transformation—ready to do something dangerously intense to poor little Seele...
'Shy nod'...
Blushing fiercely, Lunelle finally gave a slight, barely perceptible nod in front of Eden.
But as she nodded, Lunelle poured every bit of effort into acting as if agreeing to the relationship had made her too shy to speak—making it seem like she'd been "forced" into accepting Eden's heartfelt confession.
The whole act screamed: I agreed, but I'm sure not going to outright say I did it willingly.
"Does this mean Seele-sensei agrees?!!"
Eden, teetering on the edge of darkness, instantly lit up with ecstatic, overjoyed excitement at the sight!
