While Others Cultivate, I Use My Multiverse System Chapter 16: Emotions

Chapter 16: Emotions

I know how it would look to anyone who would ever hear the details of my current situation. Faced with a beauty that earth couldn't put anything against, a young man got coerced or rather, seduced into some scam business. But if anyone were to believe that I could care about such second-priority things when every second pa.s.sing meant that my mother was even closer to dying than ever?

Right now, I was faced with a girl that not only was perfectly capable of reading up my emotions so far but even deducing the reasons behind them. Whether she did it with some kind of trick, targeted guessing or leading questions, it didn't matter. Adding the matter of her inhumane strength, I had some valid reasons to believe that she was… at least capable of potentially helping me out.

Obviously, I wasn't naive enough to believe that the gold that she took would even the deal for the two of us. While I was perfectly aware of this fact, I had no clue just what made her interested in me in the first place.

"Okay then, you claim you can help me save my mother. Only when you prove you are capable of doing so, this will belong to you."

While the perspective of potentially finding some kind of guide through this world was great, I wasn't willing to just let this d.a.m.ned girl sweep me in her moods. Reaching forth with my hand, I managed to recover the money bag of mine from the girl's hand without any of the expected resistance. Instead, the girl's lips shook a bit, as if she was trying her hardest to stop the joy from appearing on her face.

And I just understood that I most likely fell right in the trap that she set for me.

"Great. I will ignore the fact that I presented you my qualifications for an extended period of time already. Let's see, what should I do…"

Raising her frail-looking hand towards her head, the girl lovingly placed her forefinger on her bottom lip. Taking a thoughtful expression, she stalled for a moment before finally allowing for a dangerously mischievous smile to appear on her face.

"Here!"

I wasn't able to react to her hand's movement at all. I just saw her delicate fingers grabbing my wrist just like a few moments ago, only to bring my hand up and slap it against the exposed part of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Given how her cloth hid only their bottom halves, I could feel my fingers sinking in the hot flesh of this insane girl.

"Fl.u.s.tered yet?"

As if something slammed me like a hammer, when I heard the girl whispering softly into my ear, the entire world around me seemed to break apart. Yet, before I could fall back on the floor, the girl's nimble hands held up my back, all the while she leaner herself forward and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

As petrified as I was, the situation wasn't normal. No matter how tasty her full, wet lips were, no matter how engaging her soft movements made this moment, a single kiss shouldn't be able to knock me powerless.

With my hand still tightly pressed against the girl's chest, I was slowly losing my sense of reason. And just when I thought that I reached a border of what I could handle… The girl moved away.

"Witches operate on feelings. Be it yours or mine. What I did right now, was using your own shock to turn its effects into physical ones. Your own magic is responsible for what's happening right now. Try to take a few steps."

Suddenly changing her tone to a serious one, this d.a.m.ned girl gently grabbed my hands before slowly leading me forward. For some reason, my body just gave up to her commands, unstably placing one step after the other. Still unable to focus my thoughts, I could only watch how the girl lead me to the bed and helped me sit on it.

Only after a few moments during which the girl simply sat beside me and hummed some kind of tune, my mind slowly started to recover. With the clarity returning to my thoughts, I shook my head to accelerate the rest of the ongoing repairs to my consciousness.

"Okay, I get it. You… infuse the will of what you wish to happen either to your own or someone's else magic, through the emotions. A clever way to think about this energy like that…"

Summing up the situation for myself in a few words, I shook my head once again before turning it towards the girl. Clearly bored with waiting for my recovery, she was already lying on her side with her knees cuddled together with her hands. A single look at her face was enough to confirm that she was either sleeping or at least pretending to do so.

"But as clever as it is, I simply can't find a way to make use of it in… my priority target's case."

Lowering my head, I looked at the tips of my toes. As hopeful I got for a moment when it seemed like I could finally find some clue, I was now depressed when this opportunity turned out to be fake.

"Ehh… You really have no b.a.l.l.s."

Suddenly springing up from the bed, the girl caught the opposite side of my head before forcefully pulling me down to the side, right on top of her bent knees. Even though there was a barrier of her dress between my head and her soft flesh, with my eyes looking up, I saw nothing but the jiggly paradise of her chest. But the worst happened at the next moment.

"Listen. As little as you might think of the witchcraft, it's still a part of the original magic. Given what wizards are capable of achieving, a crafty witch is surely capable of doing just as much. It's only a prototype, but this is a spell that I came out basing on the stuff that I read from your emotions."

Gently brus.h.i.+ng her delicate fingers against my face while tightly keeping it rested on her lap, this strange girl leaned forward a bit, making me now completely unable to decide where should I focus my attention.

The feeling of her heat surrounding my head? The delicate caressing of her fingertips that relaxed me quicker than anything else I could ever imagine, her lively, deep eyes that looked down on me with a strange sense of caring…

But before I could even make this small decision, the girl moved one of her hands on top of my chest, directly above my heart. Br.i.m.m.i.n.g her big eyes for a moment, she appeared to be in a fully focused state.

And then it hit me. A sudden wave of regret, pain, desperation. All those feelings that were on the verge of dying out due to my constant and relentless efforts. In but a single moment, all of them were brought to life, shaking my soul to its inner core.

It was in the middle of this chaotic rampage of the emotions that I couldn't control, that something clicked. As if an invisible barrier that enclosed me for my entire life suddenly broke, I could feel those emotions pouring out of me and overflowing the world around me.

In this single moment, my perception degraded. I could only look around with that immense power at my hands, looking for prey that I could rip apart. But before I could completely lose my true self in this animalistic vision that I just had, everything ended.

Drenched in sweat, I was still lying on top of this strange witch's thighs. But something changed. Instead of gently calming me down, she was now heavily panting, barely capable of not falling down on top of me. Hanging her head and upper body low, this girl didn't seem to care about her cleavage shoving me in the face.

"Oh dear… oh dear…"

With the silence suddenly broken by the girl exclaiming with a voice m.u.f.fled by the hand hat she was covering her mouth with, I brought my eyes up at her face… Only to see two streaks of tears flowing down from her reddened face.

"I'm so sorry!"

Moving at a rate too fast for me to react, this female locked her arms behind my head before swallowing my entire body in a deep and affectionate hug.
