The World Is Mine For The Taking-Chapter 776 - 120 - Delusional Woman (4)

Zeruel’s POV

"W-W-W-What did you just say...?" I somehow managed to squeak out, my voice trembling like a leaf in a storm.

Did I... Did I really hear that right?

Was this woman—this absolutely unpredictable lunatic—actually inviting me to... to have sex? Together? With her and Leon?

W-What... What in the world was happening?!

My heart pounded like a hammer against my chest, the rhythm irregular and frantic, as though my body couldn’t decide whether to pass out or keep running.

My cheeks were flushed with so much heat I felt like steam might just pour out from my ears.

Then it happened.

My brain betrayed me.

Against my will, vivid images flickered through my mind—me and Leon, together. Close. Intimate. And—oh no—I didn’t hate it. No, in fact, it made something tighten deep inside my stomach. Leon had always been someone I was grateful to. The person who helped bring back our mother, someone who was there when no one else could be.

But with her too?!

With that overly dramatic, wild, and unpredictable girl?!

No, that part... that part was way too much. The embarrassment was soul-crushing.

"S-Sorry, I-I’m going to think about it for a whileeeeeeee!!!" I shouted, stumbling over my own feet as I bolted like a frightened rabbit.

I ran.

I didn’t know where I was going—I just knew I had to get away. Anywhere. Anywhere but here.

My legs moved on instinct alone, fueled by sheer embarrassment and panic. I didn’t stop, didn’t look back, just focused on putting as much distance as I could between me and them.

But eventually... curiosity got the better of me.

I turned my head slightly—and my soul nearly left my body.

She was right behind me.

And she was closing the distance. Fast. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Where do you think you’re going?!" she shouted, her voice slicing through the wind with intensity. Her eyes... they sparkled with a terrifying glint I couldn’t decipher—like a hunter who had just spotted prey.

No—no no no—I couldn’t let her catch me!

I pushed my legs harder, forcing them to keep moving despite the burn. But it was no use.

She was fast—freakishly fast.

It felt like I was up against someone who had been training her whole life just for this one moment. Her footsteps came closer and closer, each one matching mine and then outpacing them.

Eventually, my strength gave out. My legs buckled. I collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath, chest heaving and lungs burning.

Behind me, she tried to stop—but the momentum from her sprint caused her to skid violently, kicking up dust and gravel as she slipped and spun out across the dirt.

And then, as if that hadn’t even fazed her, she stood up immediately.

Like some unstoppable force of nature.

"I got you...!" she said with a victorious grin, stepping closer.

"W-Wait a minute...!" I stammered, holding my hands out in front of me. "I-I’m not mentally prepared for this! C-Can’t you just ask someone else?!"

"That won’t do," she said firmly, crossing her arms and staring me down like a merchant evaluating a particularly stubborn piece of meat.

Wait—that look... I’d seen it before.

It was exactly like the expression my mother had whenever she was haggling over fruit at the market. That same ruthless glint in the eyes, the unshakable stance, the unrelenting tone.

"You can’t run away from this," she continued. "I mean, I can’t be one with my partner if I don’t go through with it. And I need you."

"I-I don’t think I’m the right person," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don’t even have any experience..."

"Well, I don’t either!" she replied, puffing out her chest like she was proud of that. "That’s why I learned! Do you want to read the notes I took from the video?"

Without waiting for an answer, she shoved the notebook into my hands.

Hesitantly, I cracked it open—

—and slammed it shut the instant my eyes registered the contents.

W-Was that even legal to write down?!

The details... the vividness... I wasn’t ready for any of that. My whole body tensed up. There was no way a virgin like me could even begin to process what I just saw.

"I-I’m sorry... I just... I really don’t think I’m capable of doing something like this," I stammered, my face practically glowing red.

Then, finally—like divine intervention—Leon arrived.

"Isiliraiellyn," he said, walking toward us with a heavy sigh, "I don’t think it’s right for you to force something like this onto her. You do know that sex is usually done by two people, right?"

"Eh?" She blinked, turning toward him with a shocked expression.

"Don’t tell me...You didn’t know that?" Leon asked, genuinely stunned.

"I-I did know that! I mean, technically!" she replied, visibly flustered. "But in the video you sent me, you were doing it with two women! So that’s what I studied! That’s what I prepared for!"

Her voice trembled.

"W-Wait... does this mean... my research... all those sleepless nights... They were wasted?!"

She dropped to her knees, utterly crushed.

Her face went pale, her whole body slumped, like her very existence had just been invalidated.

"Wait," Leon said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "So you analyzed only the threesome in the video I sent you? And never thought about... just regular sex between two people?"

"I knew it was possible!" she shot back, half-tearful. "I’ve seen videos of that too! But you were doing it with two girls, so I focused on that! I memorized everything! Points of contact! Ways to make you feel good! Ways to make me feel good! I even practiced poses! But all of it was for three people!"

"Keep your voice down," Leon muttered, glancing around. "There might not be anyone nearby right now, but if someone hears you saying this crap out loud—well, it’s already not a secret anymore thanks to you playing that damn video in the lecture hall."

"Uggghhhh... I have to restudy everything now..." she groaned, slumping over.

She looked completely and utterly defeated, like all the fire in her had just been extinguished. And somehow... I understood.

I really, truly understood that look.

I knew what it felt like to put your all into something only for it to come crashing down.

And so, even though it felt impulsive—even though I knew I might regret it—I felt like I had to say something.

Because deep down... I did want to stay beside Leon.

If I hesitated now, I might lose my chance forever.

Selene warned me. If I kept dragging my feet, he’d stop noticing me eventually.

"...Um..."

Both of them looked up.

Their eyes met mine, and I suddenly felt like my entire body had turned to fire.

"I-I’m fine with it..." I said, trembling. "...As long as I don’t have to do too much physical stuff."

My voice cracked, but I pushed through it.

"I’m okay with just being there... helping Miss Isiliraiellyn with what she wants to accomplish."

It felt stupid. Rushed. Crazy.

But for some reason... it was the only mistake I didn’t mind making.
