What am I supposed to do…
I glanced at Pakura, her face full of anger and resentment as she glared at me. I felt trapped in indecision.
All three options presented by this damned system were… invasive. The first two seemed borderline harassment, and the third? Yeah, no. Peeing on someone’s face? Absolutely out of the question. I’d never be able to live with myself after something like that.
Even if she was my mortal enemy, I could be ruthless in a fight, but not cross my principles and morals in such a degrading way.
Sure, there might be some twisted individuals out there who find pleasure in humiliating a village’s heroic ninja like this. But not me. I’m a decent guy. Not some twisted creep.
So… that leaves me with only the first two choices.
If it were entirely up to me, I would’ve chosen the second option—repeating my previous unintentional action. Honestly, even someone like me, who prides himself on being pure, finds it hard to resist when faced with a girl’s—well, you know. That’s a paradise for any man. Just the thought of it gives me this inexplicable thrill, like “It’s mine for the taking!”
But after seeing Pakura’s intense resistance earlier, I ultimately chose to let go of that idea. As a man with a decent sense of morality, I had to consider her feelings, even if she was my enemy.
Eliminating the last two options, it seemed like I was left with only the first one.
This was my first time doing something like this, and I felt a bit embarrassed. But honestly, it should be more acceptable than the other two choices, right?
But I also vaguely remembered hearing that for some girls, the ear is a sensitive spot. But surely that wouldn’t apply to Pakura, right?
With that thought in mind, I leaned down towards her, watching her eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
“W-What are you doing?!” Pakura exclaimed, panic in her voice. “Let go of me!”
“Hey, don’t be tense; it won’t hurt,” I reassured her, mistakenly thinking she was worried I might hurt her. “It’ll be over quickly.”
I had no idea that my vague reassurance would only amplify her fear, and she began shaking her head violently.
Why can’t she just calm down for a second?
Frustration bubbled within me as I furrowed my brow. How could I proceed with my next move if she kept moving around like that?
With no other choice, I pressed my forehead against hers, gently forcing her to stay still. Then, following the system’s ridiculous instructions, I executed an oddly peculiar action.
I swear I didn’t apply any pressure, but in the next instant, Pakura stiffened as if she had been electrocuted.
What the hell?
I was momentarily taken aback.
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the option and received the following rewards: Advanced movement technique: Shunpo, Spirit absorption ability, twenty days of cultivation, and a five-year increase in dragon lineage growth cycle.]
Holy crap! That’s a generous reward!
I was stunned. Shunpo and spirit absorption belonged to the set of skills from that “Bleach” anime. They were precisely what I needed right now.
While my body flicker technique was already quick enough, I still couldn’t surprise opponents of the same level.
For example, during my earlier battle with Pakura, if she had decided to evade, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it. But with the addition of Shunpo, the outcome would be drastically different. It would represent a significant enhancement to my capabilities.
And a five-year increase in my dragon lineage growth cycle?
Although becoming a fully-fledged dragon capable of soaring through the skies would likely take centuries, gaining five years in one shot was still a monumental boost to my strength.
Such a rich reward left me puzzled. I’d only casually touched Pakura’s earlobe, and yet the reward was this lavish. Why the hell did I get such a hefty payout?
Could it be that this damn system is unexpectedly generous?
Lost in thought, I didn’t notice that Pakura below me had turned bright red. If I had, maybe I would’ve found some clues about the situation.
