Chapter 1163: Every Man’s Dream
It felt refreshing to hold a conversation for more than ten minutes with someone of the opposite gender.
Yam did not realize when he had gotten comfortable, but he was now able to talk properly with the girl without forcing himself to be confident.
The girl's name was Elara and she was indeed a resident of this world.
"…by the way, do you like cats?" Elara asked Yam as their conversation flowed.
Yam did not have any opinion of those creatures as he had not come across them.
He shook his head and said honestly, "I have never seen one so I do not know."
"Oh my…" The girl seemed visibly surprised as she covered her mouth and gasped softly. "…you have missed out so much…"
Yam could only smile helplessly at that.
The girl then shook her head and said, "It's so sad that you've never seen a cat. My house is full of them and they roam everywhere, I thought it was quite common."
"It can't be helped, aha…" Yam chuckled nervously.
"No, this won't. You must see the beautiful creations bestowed upon these lands…"
Elara got up and looked at Yam.
"…please come with me. I'll show you one."
Yam raised his eyebrows in surprise. Instead of feeling like he was a country bumpkin and losing interest, the lady was actually interested to show him that!?
In one split second, Yam forgot everything about cats as he thought of how beautiful this lady really was. She was so understanding and kind. It almost brought a tear to his eyes.
"Why have you not moved yet? Please hurry…" Elara turned around and said from a distance.
"Ah, right. Coming." Yam snapped out of his stupor and said while hurrying towards her, almost stumbling along the way.
Watching him follow Yam, Lith and Keith were both dumbfounded.
Lith turned to the devil and asked, "That really did happen, didn't it?"
Even the devil was surprised and said while looking back at Lith, "Yes."
"Oh my…" Lith couldn't believe this was real. He had lost all hopes in this boy but who would've thought that there would be someone who would not mind his awkwardness and accept the differences.
"That girl has a soft spot for cats in her heart, and he accidentally ended up touching that. Talking about luck. Tsk. Tsk."
Keith nodded, then got up and gave her hand out to Lith to hold.
Lith was taken aback by this, but did not show it on his face and maintained a calm demeanor.
"They have traveled a bit. We need Short Jump." Keith said.
"Right. Let's move quickly otherwise we might lose them."
Lith got up and held her hand.
Keith turned to look at the couple and teleported away, getting closer to them and following.
…..
"Now that I have a proper look, she's actually pretty tall." Lith commented as he saw the height difference between the girl and Yam.
Elara was a head taller and due to the dress, her figure couldn't actually be made out, but Lith's keen eyes gave him a rough estimate of her possessing all the right curves.
She had a long and slender body and wasn't actually petite like Lith had thought her to be. Maybe she had long legs and that's why seemed to be of similar height as Yam when she was seated.
Her and Yam were not in a close proximity before, so that was another reason.
The two currently stood in front of Elara's mansion's door and Yam looked like a young boy beaming with curiosity.
"I'm telling you… he's probably getting all riled up thinking that he's going to visit a girl's house for the first time…" Lith gave his two cents on the matter to Keith while rubbing his thumb on the back of her palm.
Keith's eyes were fixated on the two. She could see that Yam was indeed getting nervous as well as excited.
"Let's go in. My cats are up in my room." Elara opened the door and walked in while gesturing to Yam to follow.
"Y-y-your room!?" Yam's confidence was starting to break.
Looking at his shocked self, Elara stopped and asked, "Yes? Is something the matter with that?"
"N-no…" Yam swiftly said before thinking.
"If there's anything, please let me know." Elara said in her soft voice and continued to walk towards her room.
Yam's heart was pounding intensely and he was starting to sweat.
At this time, he remembered Lith's advice and took a deep breath, then put on a fake confident persona.
Lith had clearly stated: fake it till you make it.
Yam thought he would lose this girl as well if he showed his under confident self. He had to pretend that going to a girl's room was no big deal. And thus, Yam focused on the fact that he was going to see a cat for the first time.
Cats.
Cats were the only thing going inside his head as he walked on the upper floors of the mansion and to the end of the hallway.
Elara opened the door of her bedroom and said, "Come in, she's here."
"Cool." Yam said, his fake confidence shining.
He walked inside the room and instead of looking at the interior or feeling that he was in a girl's room, he focused on finding the cat.
He looked around and then turned to ask, "Where's the cat? I'm having some trouble finding it."
To Yam's surprise, the beautiful girl wasn't there when he turned.
Right when he thought something had gone wrong…
"Me… yaow~"
A seductive voice rang in Yam's ears as a chill went down his spine.
Someone wrapped their arms around his body and he felt himself hitting his back onto something soft.
Right beside his ears, he felt someone's face creeping closer.
"Fuuuuu~"
"Hiiiiiii—!"
Yam shivered as a cold breath of air passed through his ears.
"That's a cute reaction, fufu…"
Elara's soft yet seductive voice rang in Yam's ears again.
At a bit of a distance from the two…
"Sniff…"
Keith was wiping the tears streaming down Lith's face like a damn waterfall.
"I can't believe… sniff… I can't believe that he ended up hitting a jackpot like that…"
Keith failed to understand what Lith was saying. How was getting kidnapped, then forced upon by an older woman a jackpot?
Lith saw the clueless gaze of Keith's when he said that and elaborated, "My love, you won't understand, but this is every man's dream…"
"Dream?"
Lith had called Keith a lot many endearing terms ever since they arrived here. Her mind would thus just glance over them as if it was normal and focus on the important bits.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explain." Lith shook his head. He held her hand and turned around, not staring at Yam anymore.
"Let's get going. He will come back to us after a few hours."
Keith followed along, but was genuinely confused as to what happened here.
She turned to look back at Yam and Elara, only to find that the slender woman had started undressing the boy and herself.
'Oh… so it's going in that direction…'
