My Gene System

For the punishment. Arisu asked Riku to sleep over again at her place since she felt more comfortable when she was sleeping with this man. 

She admitted her feelings about him and it was the main reason why she couldn't control herself to have time with him. Not because she wanted to have intercourse; it was because she thought she was lying on the clouds every time she smelled his scene and feel his warm body. 

Of course, it never came to his mind that this was the punishment he would obtain after he accidentally hurt her. However, he thinks he would disagree as Emma needed some assistance. 

'What's her problem? She's now being aggressive and started to invite me for a sleepover? She never bothered that there's a chance that I will hold her private parts? Well, I'm a man so sometimes I can't stop thinking about that.' He uttered to his mind, trying to figure out the exact reason behind this. 

By just simply looking at him. She could easily tell Riku would refuse her invitation so she put a disappointed expression on her face and asked him.

"What's the matter, Riku? That's your punishment even you like or not you should do it." She said in a weak tone, embarrassed as she didn't know why she was doing this kind of stuff. 

Without making another thought. He gradually shook his head, explaining the reason why he was going to refuse. "Thanks for inviting me to sleepover again at your place. I really appreciated that. But the problem is, Emma had severe injuries that she obtained when we are fighting a monster so I have to come back to the Guest Hall to check her condition."

At this point, she had an idea why this man was refusing her request for the first time. Aside from that, she felt something inside her chest that made her uncomfortable. 

First, she frowned her brows as she looked straight at Riku. "She's been injured huh? Don't worry, I'll send someone to cure her injury." She responded in an annoyed tone, then started to move and left the luxurious dining room.

He shrugged his shoulders, didn't know how he was going to explain Emma might poison within the monster's attack. But what he could do? That was the order that came from the person who had a high position in this village, to be exact, came from the King's daughter.

'Why does she keep pursuing it? She didn't understand that I'm worried about Emma.' 

Talking to himself was the only thing he can do. Moreover, he was a bit annoyed, knowing that if he didn't accidentally hurt this woman; this circumstance would never happen to him.

Yes! Riku agreed to sleep with her in the same room where no one could see them or what were they exactly doing inside. Moreover, he was a bit annoyed about this so when the moment he entered the room. He immediately removed the white blanket wrapped all over throughout and started sleeping. 

No personal conversation, at the same time, Arisu didn't have a chance to ask about the expedition of Emma and Riku inside the Assima Forest. To be more simple, as soon as she finished taking a bath and wearing her shiny yellow bathrobe where her skin was glowing up. 

To describe her outward appearance, she was literally sexy and no man could refuse to didn't have something with her until the cold night passed off. 

After she saw was already fallen asleep, she stared at him for a couple of minutes and smiled. It appeared even they were not having a conversation but as long as she can see Riku's innocent face, everything was fine to her. 

"Hmm... His face is really attractive-" She suddenly paused as she was late to recall the time when she asked him to have s*x with him.  "No, I'm not that person."

To forget those memories, she walked towards the balcony and put her elbows on the flat surface while her cold hands were positioned on her cheeks. 

She took a deep breath, watching the beautiful scenery of the glittering night skies. Where the moonlight was enlightened all over the place, under them, the only things she can see were the guards roaming in the area and the other establishment. 

Most likely, the villagers here weren't allowed to get outside in the dark time. Why? Just to eliminate the casualties that might happen. What is the casualty? To would not add more problems when the Rattin Kingdom attack their village, at the same time, a large number of the villagers were already evacuated in the Eastern Section just like what they planned. 

"Mom, if you're still here there's someone would warn for our father to didn't overdo it." She said along with a deep sigh. 

And all of a sudden, her eyes were widened after seeing a shooting star rapidly pass under the moon. So she quickly sticks her hands and closed eyes to wish. 

It appeared that the people in this world were also believed that if there's a shooting star passed in the night sky it can grant their wishes. Well, there was nothing wrong with that since nothing would lose to them when they just try, isn't it? 

"I wish no one would die in this expedition, and give my father more years to live in this world. Also, I hope the sudden occurrence of the monster would entirely vanish." She wished, hoping all those things would come true.

After that, she yawned and the tears formed in the corner of her eyes. "I have to sleep, there's a lot of work must finish tomorrow." 

She lay on the bed where the man was sleeping comfortably. She just smiled, then pulled her blanket that was made by the animal's skin. "Good night, Riku! Thanks for all the jobs you have done! I'm grateful that you came to this village and help us without taking any exchange." She said in a sweet voice and mildly kissed the man's lips without her control. Overjoy? Love? Well, we didn't know...

On the next day, Riku woke up much earlier than before. To put it simply, he wanted to work while the night was still there so he can get extra movement speed and energy. 

To begin with, he slowly opened up his eyes and held his lips. "Why it's sweet? I didn't remember I ate something sweet last night huh?" He paused for a second and reclined his back against the wall. "Right! I didn't mouthwash last night that must be the reason." 

He didn't pay too much attention to it while biting his lips for no good reason. It seemed he liked the sweetness on his lips right now. 

Just like what he has done. He used the balcony to leave the area and used his [Fly] ability to swiftly get back to the Guest Hall. First thing first, he came back to his room, and immediately checked Emma's condition. 

From afar, he sighed with relief after seeing Emma was breathing calmly and having a peaceful sleep. In his opinion, he worried for no good reason.

"I forgot that she had a fast recovery. However, if something bad happens to her I will blame myself since she was with me when she obtained that injury. Also, I didn't give her quick medical assistance as we arrived in the village." He felt guilty, slowly closing the door so would not disturb her.

But no matter how smooth his movements and avoiding making an unnecessary sound. Still, he can't escape with the strong senses of Emma as she immediately woke up and took her knife. 

Being an adventurer, they often do that. Why? Protecting their lives was their main priority, at the same when they hear or felt something they thought that there was a monster going to attack them. 

Yet, she put her black knife back to her bed as she quickly recognized this man's face. Thanks to the light given by the lamps around them, she stopped herself from attacking him.

"Sorry about that, Riku. I thought someone was intruding on my room." She explained, still noticing that she was enduring the pain in her arms.

'Her room? She's the one who's sleeping here, isn't she?' He uttered to his mind, then positioned his left hand in front of him. "Calm down, Emma. I just get here to get some stuff, you can go back to your sleep." 

Yet, Emma was stood up and looked like wanted to come with him despite her condition. "I'm good, Riku. I already recovered all my strength." She lied as she can't barely raise her right arm. 

"Don't be so hard-headed, Emma. Just stay here and sleep for a while." He said in a deep tone, then took something out of his pocket. "Here, Emma! Do you like it, right? You can have it, also that is my pay for helping me out in the expedition."

She catches the yellow-orange crystal, didn't expect this man would just easily give her a valuable item. "This is true? Are you giving me this monster's core?"
