Even though this was the second kiss, Hiro’s heart still screamed from within his chest. He really couldn’t control his increasing heart rate and he was sure that the sound of his heartbeat could now be heard by Liberty who was closing her eyes tightly when he kissed her.

Ignoring that, Hiro focused both his eyes on admiring Liberty’s flawless beauty. Her skin was so beautiful, it didn’t have the slightest flaw as if the girl wasn’t human.

Still kissing her with tightly pursed lips, Hiro suddenly wanted to nibble Liberty’s soft plump lips. He really wanted to try that kind of kiss with the only girl he had ever kissed until he was 18 years old.

And Hiro did that.

He bit Liberty’s lower lip very carefully, afraid of hurting her. At a glance, Liberty’s long eyebrows seemed to be furrowed at Hiro’s actions. But the girl didn’t pull her face away, instead she enjoyed every bite Hiro gave her.

By the time flies, Hiro can feel various kinds of feelings now mixed together in his body. His breath began to feel hoarse and he now closed his eyes, enjoying every touch of love he could feel from his lips that intertwined with Liberty’s.

Hiro could feel Liberty’s hands moving, wrapping around his neck. His hands were warm and slightly wet.

Liberty’s breathing rhythm had turned heavy. Hit the skin of Hiro’s cheek and he felt a bit tickled.

At that moment, Liberty suddenly pulled her face and bowed her head. Making Hiro’s lips now able to kiss his forehead easily. And without thinking twice, he kissed her forehead softly.

“Hiro…”

“Mmm?”

“I—for only tonight, I will let you stay with me here in my room.”

Liberty didn’t dare to stare into Hiro’s eyes as she whispered a sentence that instantly made Hiro’s heart seem to skip a beat for a second.

He really didn’t think that Liberty would have the courage to say such a thing. After all, all this time Liberty was an innocent girl who was very adorable and hard to catch an explanation.

However, hearing her timid voice, Hiro could feel his face instantly getting hotter.

And even though Liberty wasn’t staring at him, Hiro nodded.

“Sure. Thank you for letting me stay for tonight, Libe.”

Hiro could feel his throat go dry as he said that. He wasn’t sure if what he just said was the right thing to do.

He had never felt this awkward when dealing with anyone before.

However, hearing Hiro’s answer, Liberty suddenly raised her face again, a very fast and unpredictable movement. Making her head hit Hiro’s nose hard.

Bang!

“Ouch…” Hiro reflexively gripped the bridge of his nose.

“Ehhhh— I am so sorry,” Liberty’s face suddenly turned worried.

Hiro chuckled, ‘she’s the only girl who looks even cuter when she’s careless.’

“It’s ok, Libe. I’m just overreacting.” He lied.

Liberty looked at Hiro with pleading brows like a dog that had just received punishment from its master. His wolf ears curled limply downwards.

At that moment, Hiro immediately rubbed the top of Liberty’s head gently to make her happy again.

“But Hiro…”

“What?!”

“I’ve never done that before.” Liberty looked shy while playing with her index fingers. Make another cute gesture.

“Do what?” Hiro didn’t understand what Liberty’s question meant.

However, when Liberty looked back at him with a surprised look, Hiro suddenly realized what the girl had just talked about.

“W–wait a second. Libe, did you just talk about … ?!” Hiro couldn’t even finish his words.

Liberty blinked at Hiro with a jaw drop. Meanwhile, Hiro’s face instantly felt very hot and his body too.

“Ah—Hiro, haven’t you done that either?”

Again the girl asked with a flat expression as if her question was really a very common thing to talk about in a normal conversation.

However, knowing where the conversation was going, it wouldn’t hurt to tell Liberty an honest answer. There’s nothing wrong with speaking the truth about that one thing.

Hiro hoped that Liberty wasn’t a girl who would be disappointed if she heard that her partner wasn’t experienced enough.

“No, I’ve never done that before.”

Hearing that, Liberty’s beautiful eyes instantly widened and the girl suddenly threw her body to hug Hiro so passionately that the shocked Hiro fell backwards.

“Let’s do it, Hiro. Be my first and I’ll be your first, too.”

“Ehh??!”

Hiro didn’t have a chance to respond because Liberty had kissed him again to shut his mouth.

But the third kiss that night was different. When Liberty started to pull off the cloak that Hiro was wearing.

With neither of them having any experience, Hiro gave a very gentle touch even though his hands were shaking. And their bodies were trembling.

They began to start sharing pains, air, moaning, love, and joy.

That night, their song of love filled the room as their bodies united.

An unforgettable memory of a lifetime. And thus, he temporarily forgot about that weird yet scary dream.

All thanks to Liberty.

…

Hiro woke up from his restful slumber.

As he opened his eyes, he saw Liberty was asleep right next to him. Her sleeping expression was quite unique, as usual.

If it were anyone else, they would have thought that she was angry. Her brows were knitted together.

Hiro stroked her hair, and decided to wake up early, careful not to disturb her. He moved as slowly as possible, to let her rest at least a bit longer.

He was back to his apartment, the cold air from winter in Tokyo biting his skin.

Falling asleep in the LSO world slowed down the brain work system thus the production of brain waves that can be caught by the VR machine was not much.

In other words, sleeping in the game could be translated by the VR machine as sleeping in the real world too.

Hiro took a glass of water from the tap and drank it. Right now, the tap water quality in Japan is safe enough to drink.

While he was drinking, his bracelet rang out.

Ding!

The notification indicated a new message.

But when he saw the sender’s name, he coughed, as his shocked gasp made him choke.

“Cough! Cough!”

“Is this the Anonymous from that theory? How did he get my number?” Hiro thought.

He was pretty sure that his personal information was locked before diving into the dark web at that time.

It was really impossible for his personal information to be leaked.

How could this happen? Hiro started to worry.

Ding!
