Chapter 29: The Reason For Regression...

In Julian's gaze, Sena's eyes flickered like scattered stardust—each tiny emerald fleck reflected the hidden wonder of her inner glow.

Sena's lips parted slightly with a glossy smack, but no words came out.

A soft, unsteady gasp escaped as her chest heaved rapidly. The innocent light in her emerald eyes vanished, replaced with seduction and desire, something she couldn't hide.

Julian could feel the change, the heat between them growing.

A tension like two snakes coiling tighter with each passing second. Yet, even as his fingers traced the soft curve of her cheek, an unquenchable fire raged inside him.

His memories and lost fragments grasped at his soul.

Their darkness grabbed and pulled him into the darkness.

The sight of her lifeless body in his past life, intertwined with the present.

The warmth of her hands wrapping his cheeks slipped away, becoming a cold, suffocating despair that hollowed him out from the inside returned.

His fingertips trembled.

'No...'

Not this time.

Never again would he tremble because of the past.

Julian crushed the invading thoughts, biting his tongue, slicing the tip, as the sweet iron taste spread through his mouth.

'That's right!'

Sena wasn't in the past, but here. Alive. Her warmth against his palm proved it. The way her plump lips quivered, the way her eyes darted away from his, turning her cheeks red. She was real, standing before him and seeking his answer.

And his decision ready.

A quiet resolve that dissipated and rooted in his chest.

"I cannot let you go, Sena..."

His voice was barely above a careless whisper, but the weight of those words changed everything.

The answer he should have found from the start, now found.

Her eyes widened and filled with tears, shimmering with something unreadable. But Julian didn't hesitate.

'Even if I have to face that devil, face my weakness once again... I will.'

'Not for honour.'

'Not to become a saviour.'

And then, he closed the distance as she closed her eyes, and lifted her chin.

'But for you.'

His lips met hers, soft and uncertain at first, like the quiet before the storm or embers about to ignite. The moment their warmth touched, a jolt ran through him—a deep, primal hunger clawing at the surface.

Sena inhaled sharply as her breath mingled with his, and the moment of hesitation shattered.

Julian's fingers threaded through her damp, silky hair, pulling her closer as his lips parted hers with a hot sigh. The taste of her lips—slightly sweet and intoxicating like a drug, sending a shudder through his spine.

He didn't just kiss her—he drowned in it.

The velvety softness of her lips, the hesitant yet eager way she responded, and the sticky heat that spread as his tongue brushed against her.

It was maddening.

A quiet whimper escaped her throat, gasping as Julian lost control.

He deepened the kiss, tilting her head back as his tongue pushed past her trembling lips, tasting her delicious offering.

Sena stiffened, her fingers digging into his chest, but she didn't pull away. She clung to him, matching his intensity, her warmth melting into his own.

The world blurred and vanished.

Their eyes only for each other. The scent of flowers and lingering sweat, the faint shivers that ran through her body as she surrendered to his touch.

His heartbeat pounded violently, drowning out all other sounds.

Julian didn't know how long they stayed in this state, lost in each other's taste and scent.

But when they finally broke apart, breathless and dazed, her cheeks bright red with a thick bridge of saliva connecting their tongues. She gazed at him, lips slightly swollen, panting and falling against his chest while gasping.

"J-Julian..."

Her voice like a mosquito, barely audible.

But he wasn't done.

His thumb traced the outline of her lips, swollen and moist with their shared lust. His red eyes darkened, a husky whisper slipping past his lips.

"I'm not letting go of you again."

"A-Again?"

A confused response silenced, as their lips met again... like a wildfire engulfing the land. Their kiss continued on, slow and deep, breaths mingling as heat coiled between them.

Sena trembled in his grasp, her body turning slack, melting against his chest. Julian held her firm, supporting her weight as her knees wobbled.

"Haa... haa..."

Her ragged breaths mixed with his, lips still brushing as she exhaled against him.

Then—

"Mmph... hey..." Her voice was soft, her forehead resting against his shoulder. "Your muscles are nice and all, but stop poking my stomach with that bokken, Julian..."

His brows furrowed.

'Bokken?'

A second passed.

Then a realisation dawned on the lovely woman.

Sena froze. Her emerald eyes snapped open, darting downward before her entire body jolted stiffly.

"Wha—?! T-That's not—!"

Her face ignited, steam almost visibly rising from her head.

"What a... nice sword..." she muttered, voice barely above a whisper.

She hugged his chest tightly, squeezing her eyes shut as if willing the moment away.

『Is this a dream?』

The words rang clearly in his mind, not spoken aloud but drifting from her thoughts—an intrusion that shouldn't be possible, causing him to bite her tongue in shock.

Julian tensed.

'What the hell...? I can hear her thoughts?'

Sena remained oblivious, clutching his shirt, heart hammering against his as she sucked his tongue violently after he bit her tongue, a slight hum coming from her throat.

For a long moment, they became lost in a tender embrace, their kiss ending.

『I can feel him throbbing against my stomach... it's really hard.』

"S-Shall we go upstairs?" Sena muttered, gazing up at him as she avoided his fiery gaze.

"Yeah, I'd like that."

Her soft hands wrapped around his, walking into the apartment lift while squeezing his hand tightly, a soft smile on her swollen lips.

Awkward silence followed them into her room.

Sena, still red-faced, pulled out two cold beers from her mini fridge and handed one to him before sitting stiffly on the bed. Julian smirked but said nothing, simply taking a sip.

A sweet yet crisp taste with a hint of lemon filled his mouth, an ironic flavour.

She twirled her can between her fingers, stealing glances at him before her mind wandered back—

To his crotch.

And the other day in the pod.

Pfffft!

She nearly choked on her drink, her face burning up all over again.

Julian watched with amusement as she buried her head in her hand, her thoughts a swirling mess of flustered chaos.

"Hey, Julian... is that kiss your answer?"

In his eyes, she looked vulnerable and weak, but he didn't mind. Her wet eyes fluttering as he nodded.

Then—she kissed him.

This time different, urgent. Desperate.

Julian barely registered what happened. The can slipped from his fingers before she pushed him down onto the bed, a low creak as her warm tongue pushed past his lips.

『How can you make me so crazy? Idiot!』

His hand extended, wrapped around the curve of her waist, slipping down to her plump buttocks, while she gripped his shoulders and pressed their bodies together.

Soft gasps and wept pops accompanied the rustle of clothes and sheets.

『More~ kiss me, let me taste more.』

'She's a greedy girl...'

Their movements became a blur, lips parting as their tongues tangled with a wet smack. Clothes unfastened and half removed. Until—

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

A phone mercilessly vibrated on the bedside table, the mood like shattered glass.

Send flinched as she grasped Julian's crotch. "Ah—!"

Her father's name flashed on the screen.

For a second, neither of them moved, caught between the haze of the moment and the unwanted intrusion of reality.

『FUCK!』

Her eyes filled with tears as she scrambled for the desk. Her exposed breasts squashed against Julian's face as she leaned over him. A warm and soft sensation as she answered the phone after a deep breath, trying to avoid a suspicious voice.

"Y-Yes, Dad?!"

Julian exhaled slowly, his lips tickled by the light pink bud brushing against them, slipping hit tongue across it, causing Sena's body to tremble before snapping back at him with a fierce look as she pinched his waist.

"Hnnng ♡ nothing dad, I just finished training and my muscles are sore!!"

He could only breathe while blowing hot air against her body, enjoying her reaction.

The call didn't last long before she hung up, and the room became unbearably quiet.

The air between them still thick and different.

Almost lovers, no longer friends or ex lovers.

Sena hesitated.

Then, slowly, with a shy express—she reached for the hem of the dress around her waist.

This time, when their clothes slipped away, the distance between them vanished. Julian's hand traced the curve of her back, his touch deliberate, savouring the warmth of her bare skin beneath his fingertips.

『I'm so wet, but dad killed the mood!!!』

Sena shivered, lips slightly parted—then suddenly jerked away, face burning.

"I-I'm getting in the pod!" she blurted, diving into the game capsule before he could react.

Julian let out a breathless chuckle, running a hand through his hair.

He followed, and climbed into the pod, while enjoying the sight of Sena's lovely figure.

As the game launched and they entered the loading screen.

He couldn't help but feel a cold shower wash over him.

'There's no rush.'

Before he could say anything, Sena turned, stepping close—closer than necessary.

Then, with a soft, lingering press, she kissed him once more.

Julian barely had time to process before she smirked and jogged ahead.

"Those things will come... sooner than you think" she called over her shoulder.

"If you behave."

A teasing yet wicked temptation.

Julian watched her retreating form.

'I'm so screwed.'

He watched her smiling face and recalled the voice that called him a hypocrite when he first regressed and made her cry.

"Maybe I regressed just to see your smile again."

"What did you say, Julian?"

"I think you have a lovely round ass."

"Julian!"

The adorable goddess pointed at him, with her teeth exposed and a fake angry face.

『Is my butt that nice? I'm glad he likes it so much, hehe!』

Full Title: The Reason for Regression... Was You!

This is Sena's inner voice, something caused because of her acting as Julian's shade in the world, a mutation of his communication ability when ordering them.

It will increase as their relationship progresses.
