Nero, the Legendary Hunter

"Do not worry." Nero understood and said, "I have a lot of [Essence Coin]. If necessary, I'll give you a little."

"Okay." Choko smiled slightly. If it were before, she would not accept it, but now, their friendship had deepened and some [Essence Coin] would not be an issue among them.

Nero took the chance and also sold many of the items she wouldn't use, especially the less significant items she had gained from using <Plunder>. Having hunted a good number of monsters until she reached the Nan Empire, she managed an incredible 22,312 [Essence Coin].

Even the receptionist was a little surprised and the smile became a little more gentle. She thought Nero and Choko were from a prominent family, and it would be nice if they remembered her fondly and continued to sell the items to her.

"Thank you, customer. Here, this is my card. Whenever you come to the Hunters' Guild you can come and talk to me. I will give you a 10% discount on everything," she said with a graceful smile.

Nero took the golden card and nodded. She wanted to buy some skill books, but not right away. For now, she and Choko still needed to find a place to stay. Nero kept the gold card with her Hunter Card and said, "We will be back another time."

At the inn, Choko and Nero stayed in the same room.

At first, the atmosphere was harmonious. The two girls talked about the dungeons and also their plans about school, among other things. However, when they ran out of business discussion, embarrassing things came back to their minds. This was especially true for Choko, who was having difficulty dealing with every time she remembered what she did before with Nero. She was so red that she could be mistaken for a ripe tomato.

Choko was sitting on the bed, and next to her Nero was looking at her. Choko thought for a moment and then broke the silence that formed, "Nero, can you tell me a little about yourself?"

Looking at her, Nero asked, "What exactly do you want to know about me?"

"I don't... Ah yes, have you thought about how your hair has turned pink in a few moments?" Choko asked.

"Not much, but I have some idea of ​​what it is, but I'm not sure," Nero replied, uncertain.

"Oh? What might they be?" Choko was interested and held both of Nero's hands expectantly.

Nero replied without the slightest bit of shame, "I think it is when a sexual tension forms. I don't know for sure, but the time we kissed or at the city gate, it was when there was a strong sexual tension in the air. Also, it may only work if it is directed at me. So when the guards wanted to take advantage of you and me, it happened. I still don't know how I managed to control them when I said what they had to do, however, I also imagine it is related to the fact that I have pink hair."

"This must be some kind of skill you were born with." Choko was excited to talk about it. "Like the time when you controlled the mercenary's mind with an arrow. Didn't he fall in love with a tree after being hit? So that must be related as well."

"Yes, I also came to that conclusion, but I'm still not sure… After all, it only happened that one time," said Nero.

"Mm..." Choko turned even redder than an apple and asked timidly, "Shall we kiss to test it?"

"Oh..."

For a few seconds, Nero was left without a reaction. She did not expect that Choko would suddenly propose this, but shortly after she smiled and said, "Are you sure you won't fall in love~" She joked.

"I think it's too late..." Choko murmured very quietly.

"Did you say anything?" Nero raised her brow.

"Nothing, no." Choko composed herself and said, "I'm willing to do that, aren't you?"

Nero didn't answer. She stared at Choko, and her lips curved in a malicious smile. Wrapping her hands around Choko's waist, taking her by surprise, her right hand went up to Choko's nape and pulled herself toward her lips. 

"..."

At first, Nero just sucked Choko's full lips, like she was sucking an orange; then she nibbled playfully and smirked. Nero then closed her eyes when she saw that Choko had opened her mouth and invaded her own mouth with her soft, slimy tongue.

Choko felt as if she had experienced an electric shock; her whole body shuddered in Nero's arms. She opened her eyes, totally surprised. When she felt Nero's tongue in her mouth, she froze.

'Wow! Just wow!' Choko thought. The kiss was even better than their first kiss had been. It was as if Nero was tugging on her soul.

The two girls were out of breath, while their faces were flushed. At some point Nero stopped kissing Choko and started kissing her neck. Choko shivered all over; it was a new sensation... Totally good, but it made her shy and floorless.

When Nero licked his ear and sucked... Choko almost groaned. 'How can it be so good?'

She started to feel damp down there. She had even forgotten that this was initially to see if sexual tension would make Nero's hair pink.

Even Nero, who was totally given over to desire, had forgotten about it. Only minutes after she felt Choko breathe tiredly, she pulled away and licked her lips with satisfaction as if she had had a good meal.

In full, she remembered their initial purpose and brought her hair in front of her eyes.

"It turned pink," she murmured.

Choko came out of her daze and also noticed. She felt shy and excited at the same time and looked at Nero's hair and Nero's wet pink lips and swallowed.

"What do you think?" Nero looked at her and asked.

"Err... It was good, like, I even liked it... Well, it was great!" Choko covered her face with both hands.

"Mm, good to know that." Nero smiled and said maliciously, "But I was talking about my hair turning pink, you know~"
