"You guys take your time, I'm going to take a bath!"
Since what followed involved the internal secrets of Haimer's Familia, Hestia ran barefoot towards the bathroom, her feet going patter-patter.
Clang!
The bathroom door shut. This fluid series of actions made Haimer unable to resist massaging his forehead. This girl sure ran fast.
On second thought, however, it was actually for the best that she ran off. After all, the ensuing scene would indeed be a bit too much for a virgin Goddess who, despite having lived for hundreds of millions of years, still remained at the level of an innocent maiden in terms of mental age, romantic experience, and practical combat.
If she were to watch another girl defenselessly strip down in front of him, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, she would probably blush like a boiling kettle on the spot, steam erupting from the top of her head, and then spontaneously explode. In that case, he would have to go out of his way to soothe a ruffled loli Goddess, which would be far too troublesome.
Thinking of this, Haimer let out a breath of stale air. He turned around and let his gaze fall. Since the irrelevant personnel had consciously made their exit, then...
"God, let's begin."
Without outsiders present, Amou Kirukiru was also much more at ease. Crossing her arms, she directly grabbed the hem of her top. With extreme decisiveness, she pulled it upwards, unreservedly revealing her taut, powerfully lined upper body to Haimer.
There was not the slightest bit of excess fat. There were only perfectly defined muscle lines, as well as skin that was slightly flushed from excitement.
"Mhm, lie down on your stomach."
Haimer nodded, harboring no unnecessary romantic thoughts.
Hearing this, Amou Kirukiru obediently lay down on her stomach on that soft, long sofa as told. Burying her face in the crook of her arm, her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her bare back, obscuring a large expanse of the spring scenery, yet adding a hazy sense of beauty.
Haimer didn't dawdle either. He fished out a slender silver needle he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. Pinching the silver needle with his left hand, he skillfully and lightly pricked the fingertip of his right hand.
A drop of bright red Divine Blood slowly seeped out, gathering at his fingertip, teetering on the edge of falling. Haimer leaned down.
Just as he was about to let this drop of Divine Blood serving as a medium drip onto Amou Kirukiru's smooth back...
"God."
Amou Kirukiru, who had originally buried her face in her arms, suddenly turned her face sideways. Those long, narrow phoenix eyes stared fixedly at Haimer.
"This time... won't you straddle me like last time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Haimer's hand froze in mid-air. Looking at Amou Kirukiru, who had spoken such shocking words, he couldn't help but helplessly twitch the corners of his mouth.
"When bestowing Grace for the first time, it was to ensure the Divine Blood permeated more stably, and also to help your constantly tense nerves relax. So straddling that spot was meant to close the distance between us. After all, there shouldn't be any barrier between a God and their chosen children. But now, it's no longer necessary."
After Haimer finished explaining, Amou Kirukiru didn't back down; instead, she slightly writhed her waist.
"Is that so?"
"Then..."
"Does God not want to close the distance with me a little more this time? Or rather... does the current me no longer need God to bestow even a little bit of body heat?"
With a single sentence, Amou Kirukiru directly checkmated Haimer. This was very hard to judge. Haimer looked down at Amou Kirukiru's stubborn gaze, which seemed to be saying she could not accept his explanation and wanted him to prove it again with his actions.
After a second of silence, he reached a decision.
"Alright."
Haimer didn't spout any nonsense, directly stepping over her. After all, it wasn't as if he couldn't handle such a petty provocation. He straddled Amou Kirukiru's perky, firm buttocks, letting his body's center of gravity sink slightly.
"Mmph—!"
In this instant, Haimer could clearly feel Amou Kirukiru's waist tense up for a moment. That slight tremble clearly transmitted through the surface of contact. But this was not resistance. Because the very next second, that sense of tension rapidly dissipated, replaced by an even more thorough relaxation.
"Satisfied now?"
"Mhm..."
This time, the sound Amou Kirukiru let out was noticeably calmer, carrying a satisfied nasal tone.
Haimer shook his head helplessly. What was all this?
However, not delaying any further, Haimer once again extended that finger whose tip was still seeping blood. He aimed it directly at the center of Amou Kirukiru's back—that small patch of the fairest, and also most sensitive, area.
Drip.
The Divine Blood gently fell. The moment it touched Amou Kirukiru's skin, a red light abruptly flared up. The sacred text that had originally been hidden beneath the girl's skin now seemed to have completely come alive.
Centering around that drop of Divine Blood, it rapidly diffused and spread outward. Complex patterns wandered and reassembled across the fair back.
A moment later, when the light stabilized, the originally chaotic patterns finally solidified into lines of clearly legible sacred text. Haimer's gaze rapidly swept over them.
Although he already knew what Amou Kirukiru had done in the Dungeon from Tsubaki, after her experiences genuinely transformed into intuitive sacred text, Haimer still couldn't help but let out a gasp of admiration in his heart.
Name: Amou Kirukiru
Birthday: August 19 | Blood Type: O | Height: 168cm | Weight: 53kg | Favorite Food: Pomegranate
Lv.1
Strength: F388 → SS1098
Endurance: F365 → SS1081
Dexterity: F310 → SS1017
Agility: F315 → SS1011
Magic: I0 → I0
Aside from the fact that her inability to use magic left the [Magic] column immovably stuck at I0, the other attributes had all gone completely berserk.
Not only had they all broken through the S-rank (900-999) boundary, but they had directly pierced the heavens, reaching the legendary SS-rank (1000-1099) stage!
One must know, in the common sense of Orario, even for those adventurers called[Geniuses], such as the one praised as the [Sword Princess], Ais Wallenstein, training all their attributes to S-rank at Lv.1 would probably be considered utterly perfect. Most people would already be overjoyed to just level up upon reaching A or B.
After all, the further one goes, the harder it is to train. Every single point of increase requires paying a massive price. Wanting to break past S and reach SS? In the history of the Lower World, those who could achieve this were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Only the White Rabbit and Alfia had ever achieved an SS rating. The White Rabbit, in particular, had almost all his abilities reach SS or even SSS ratings before every level up. This was a miracle that could only possibly occur in an extremely small minority of people.
And right now, it had appeared just like this on Amou Kirukiru's back.
Not to mention... this was under the circumstance of Amou Kirukiru only taking a mere two days! Two days of time, grinding straight from I directly to S, and even SS!
Even if Haimer hadn't witnessed Amou Kirukiru's performance in the Dungeon with his own eyes, having heard Tsubaki's vivid descriptions of their encounters, he already had a solid impression in his mind.
Like using the body fluids of Killer Ants to attract a swarm of Killer Ants. Like slaughtering Almiraj on the 13th Floor to trigger a Monster Party.
Amou Kirukiru was truly utilizing her skills to the absolute limit. Trading pain for growth. Watering power with blood. Amou Kirukiru was treating the Dungeon exactly like a buffet, and those monsters as fodder to fill the emptiness in her heart.
Her lunatic behavior of repeatedly dancing back and forth on the edge of life and death, treating her life as if it meant nothing, was what earned her such a terrifying stat increase.
To the extent that, in a mere two days' time, she could sublimate her level to Lv.2, shattering the [Sword Princess] Ais Wallenstein's world record for the fastest level up, which took a year.
From Lv.1 to Lv.2. Condensed from a year down to two days. What a terrifying growth speed.
"Phew..."
Thinking of this, Haimer couldn't help but take a deep breath, before pulling out a sheet of parchment. He traced and recorded the Status that surfaced on Amou Kirukiru's back.
"Done."
Saying this, Haimer handed that piece of parchment, which still carried a bit of warmth, to Amou Kirukiru.
At this moment, Amou Kirukiru couldn't care less about putting her clothes back on. She didn't even make a gesture to cover her chest.
Springing straight up to a sitting position from the sofa, her upper body bare and her long hair falling over her chest, those pitch-black eyes stared deadlocked onto the contents of the paper. Her gaze swept frantically.
"S..."
