"Excuse me for a sec." I said, turned around, and picked up Arngrim's call.
[Eshwar, I found a way to treat Louie completely, but...] I was elated to hear that Louie can be cured, but I didn't like the way Arngrim halted mid-sentence; it felt like he was underestimating me or something.
[I think I'll need a Rank-SSS or at least a higher Rank-SS grade monster core.] As soon as those words entered my ears, I glanced at Seo Hana's innocent face. It wasn't that I doubted her, but the timing was too convenient, ah! Maybe that sly queen, Mairéad, planned for things to go like this.
"It's alright, I'll take care of it. Focus on all the other materials, and I'll do something about the core," I said.
"No matter how much time it takes." I mumbled under my breath and hung up.
"What is it?" Hana asked.
"I'll be participating in this expedition; let them do whatever they want to."

An hour later.
I somehow managed to make her go back to the association after a long nagging session, and since I was determined that I would be going to the dungeon and playing along with their bullsh*t, Seo Hana couldn't do anything about it and left grumbling with a concerned look on her face. What she felt, it doesn't matter right now because there was someone else who was going to nag me.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
CLUNK
I knocked on my room's door in Uncharted's underground facility and opened the door without waiting for an answer because I knew nobody except for Isha would enter my room.
BAM
And I instantly closed the door...
'Wha....what did I just see?' I mumbled in my mind, and my whole body turned hot; I even felt my face burning up. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a figure leaning forward toward their knee or calf. I didn't get a proper glimpse of it, but the figure's body was... skin....coloured (?) with a slightly pale complexion, and of course the long silky hair was black...
'Nobody except Isha would enter my room, right? Then, that was Isha?' I muttered inwardly.
"Ah, maybe she was wearing a skin-coloured jumpsuit, but for what though?" I mumbled under my breath at the realisation, nodded to myself, and opened the door again.
CLUNK
I took a peek in and froze when I saw Isha staring at me with a bewildered and flustered expression on her face; by the looks of it, she didn't seem to understand how to react in this situation, and...
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ
"Kyaaaaaaa!!!!"
BAM!
"Guh!!!" My nose was hit by my room's door, which was shut by Isha, who used divinity for it.
'She.... was naked.... right?'
*
After a few minutes, I got the permission to enter my room, and when I walked in, I saw Isha sitting in the middle of the bed, covering her entire body except for the head with the thick black coloured blanket, while glaring at me with a red face. Of course, I wasn't one to talk as I, too, felt my face and ears burning up.
"A-ahem, umm, mhm." I cleared my throat, walked towards the bed, and sat next to her with my left leg on the ground.
"Did you see?" Isha asked, blushing violently. At that question, I, too, felt my heartbeat speed up; maybe from her perspective I was also blushing violently.
"N-no, I didn't get a proper glimpse..." I said, shamelessly, and got hit on the head with a pillow.
FHUMP
".... But I saw your back and your bu..Mhhffp." I was about to say what I saw, exactly, but Isha covered my mouth without letting me explain with a scarlet face.
"S-stop." Isha mumbled in a low buzz-like voice, hiding her face in her blanketed knees. And at that moment I got a crazy idea to tease her, and of course, since it wasn't a chance that came every day, I decided to act on it without hesitation.
"!!" Isha retracted her hand as soon as I licked her palm.
"Salty~ hmm~ you are sweating, I see...." I mumbled with a playful smile, leaning closer.
FHUMP
"Fast, are we now...." I mumbled with a smirk when she hit me with a pillow again, and,
FHUMP
FHUMP
...
....
...
And after that, maybe because I teased her a bit too much and she began to hit with a pillow, stood up, and began to swing the pillow more and more, I don't know why, but I wanted it to stop, so I rose up on my knees, grabbed her wrists, and pinned her down.
And now,
BA-THUMP (5x)
"...."
"...."
A pair of hearts began to beat in a strange yet pleasant rhythm, while Isha gazed up at my eyes and I gazed down at hers. I held her wrists above her head, making them stay put, and supported myself with my left hand that was right next to Isha's neck, as I laid on top of her.
(AN: Omniscient POV)
Their breaths mingled rhythmically, as did their loud heartbeats; both of them were blushing violently, and maybe Eshwar snapped out of his daze, but he slightly fumbled around and his gaze wandered on her face, seemingly not knowing where or what exactly to look at.
Her eyes, which were fixated on his, her nose, which was only breathing in, her cheeks, which were burning scarlet, her ears, which had turned more red than her cheeks, her mouth, which was slightly open with her small tongue above her lower incisors, breathing out hot air at his mouth, and finally her lustrous pink lips—and when his gaze landed on her mouth, his mind stopped working again, with only a few words before,
'Why not...' And with that, his mind stopped working, completely, and without him even realising it, he began to lean in to kiss her. Unbeknownst to Eshwar, Isha too snapped out of her daze at the exact moment he did, and her gaze wandered on his face in the same pattern, but the thoughts that ran in her mind were far different from his.
'How cute.' She would think when she saw how flustered he was, with his long elven ears burning scarlet. But of course, she was able to think straight only because there was a thick black blanket in between them; if there was even a bit more skin ship, then she wouldn't be able to think of anything; no matter how and what it was, Isha still hadn't experienced any proper intimate skin ship! But her mind too stopped working when she noticed him leaning forward.
While this hot atmosphere surrounded the couple, three pairs of eyes were looking at them through the forgotten open door. The onlookers were none other than Henry, Core, and Arngrim. They all had rushed towards this room when they heard Isha scream but stopped when they noticed Eshwar standing in front of the door. But looking at the state he was in, they decided to follow him, sneakily, while he stood dazed by the sight he had just seen.
But now, looking at the atmosphere between them, they unanimously decided to let the couple enjoy their moment and that they would close the door so that they too could get a good night's sleep.
"I'll close the door, so move back a bit." Core whispered in a very low tone and shooed them back; they nodded their heads and tiptoed back.
CREEEEAAAAAKKKKKKKK
"!!!" Eshwar and Isha jerked back at the loud creaking sound and glanced around before their gazes landed on Core, Arngrim, and Henry, who were closing the door, and at the next moment, everybody's expression turned deadpan as they stared at each other, while the door was still closing slowly and creaking loudly.
CREEEEAAAAAKKKKKKKK
