So boring.
Lying on the swivel chair in the underground workshop, V held her head, having nothing to do.
The surroundings were filled with components and clutter of unknown use, making it feel suffocating. The midday news was on TV, reporting on Nomads attacking a convoy and Night City's newly introduced Pet Tax Law.
And Berry's work computer didn't even have a single game.
Therefore, V was extremely bored.
In a daze, V compared her current situation with her terrible educational experience.
The Nomads family's large classroom, for her, was no different from now—it was undoubtedly like being locked up.
The only difference was that Berry was here; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to stay long ago.
This was the third day after Berry's "extortion" bar opened.
After the initial excitement, life returned to normal, and Berry was steadily proceeding with her plans.
So, today she asked V to help her test the new generation of equipment.
However, the work of debugging this and adjusting that clearly took up Berry's time, so V was left to watch her busy girlfriend and start the tedious wait.
Long legs crossed and resting on the desk, V watched Berry work.
Hmm, she had no idea what she was busy with.
Although V had developed a slight talent for Hacker technology through hard work, she couldn't understand any of the hardware systems her girlfriend was always engrossed in.
She could only tell that Berry was busy working on a humanoid mecha mounted on scaffolding, but she didn't know the specifics. Perhaps it was an enhanced version of the Kang Tao Corporation robots she had previously destroyed.
Although she was initially amazed, over time, V had become numb to Berry's talent.
She could only say that her own education had been truly effective.
Shameless Older Sister V happily attributed Berry's abilities to her 'love education,' which was truly brazen.
Therefore, V paid no attention to the highly technological mecha in front of her. Instead, her attention was drawn to the sweat on the fair skin of busy Berry's forehead and the slightly taut little waist exposed beneath her short vest.
Alright, V admitted it.
She wasn't an ambitious person; she was only interested in low blows.
If saying it out loud wouldn't immediately earn her a sharp rap on the head from Berry, she would have wanted to have a big session of 'do it' right there in Berry's workshop.
When a person is sexually frustrated, they become restless, and when V became restless, she wanted to smoke.
However, just as she pulled out the cigarette case, Berry, who seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, spoke up.
"No smoking here, V."
Berry said to V without turning her head, while holding an instrument to test the mecha's operating status once more.
Uh... V's forehead developed a black line. Having no choice, she put the cigarette she had taken out back into the case.
"But Berry, it's really boring. Didn't you ask me to help? Are you done yet?"
V, who had given up on smoking, clenched her hands and said in a wronged tone.
V naturally had a restless heart; being cooped up in this basement for half a day was truly difficult for her.
Thinking of this, Berry felt a pang of guilt.
"Hoo... alright, sorry, Big Sister V, I neglected you."
It made sense; inviting someone into the basement only to ignore them for half a day was inexcusable.
Berry put down the PDA, grabbed a nearby towel to wipe her hands, and walked over to V.
With a smirk, swaying her hips, Berry straddled V, whose eyes were completely captivated.
Her hands didn't stop moving; without a word, she grasped V's chin and kissed her slightly open mouth, which was parted in surprise.
After a long time, their lips parted.
"Well, is this better?"
Looking at V, who still seemed dazed, Berry smiled, slightly shyly.
She rarely performed actions filled with such flirtatious, heterosexual teasing.
However, relaxation was one thing, but she still knew she had work to do.
So, when V's breathing deepened and she wrapped her arms around Berry's waist and leaned in, Berry put out a hand to stop her.
Berry placed a finger vertically over her lips and winked mischievously.
Seeing V's confused look, Berry spoke naturally.
"How about we wait until tonight? We still have work to do."
Well, Berry understood edging; that combo move left V stunned and quickly made her behave.
Sure enough, they say romance is a process of mutual taming. Now, not only had V mastered all of Berry's soft spots, but Berry was also proving to be equally skilled.
However, just as the two were enjoying a moment of affection, a sudden electronic sound, seemingly out of nowhere, immediately shattered the intimate atmosphere in front of the desk.
"Hey, I said, can you two desk-lovers see where you're going? You're interrupting my news."
This ominous electronic male voice suddenly appeared, giving the unprepared V a solid fright.
She was truly startled; Berry, sitting on V, could feel her suddenly shudder.
"F*ck, Berry, is that a person or a ghost!?"
