Eren took a small sip of the wine. Nina was horrified by his stunt and wanted to stop him. First, he was not used to with alcohol in general. Second, the wine was made from C Rank ingredients. It was basically a C Rank debuff potion. Eren would die if he consumed it.
But before she could do so, Eren stood straight in front of her and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. Nina could feel the wine that was dripping down from Eren’s mouth into her throat.
Eren had not gulped down the C Rank wine. He wasn’t suicidal. He only kept it in his mouth briefly before sending it into Nina’s throat.
Nina was still sitting on the log. So she had to look up to respond to Eren’s kiss. By doing so she had allowed for a gravity-friendly expressway for the incoming wine.
The insides of Eren’s mouth were feeling a little burnt because of the wine like he had put a lump of hot coal in his mouth. But he didn’t care.
“Erni, stop doing stunts like these. I can drink the wine myself.”
Nina was kinda angry at his stunt. But she was also equally impressed by the romanticism behind it.
“Forgive me, M’lady. I was only trying to impress you.”
Eren smiled at her and kissed her on her cheeks.
“Consider me impressed. Now give me that.”
Nina smiled back and finally took the glass from him. She knew the consequence behind that action. She was practically consenting to Eren’s advances by accepting that wine. But now she didn’t care. She did want to act liberated. If the wine can help her, so be it.
Eren kept on pouring more wine for her, one sip at a time while their talks went on. They both knew where they were heading. But they wanted to talk about all the remaining subjects before the eventuality hit them.
Nina took out a chainmail armour, leather pants made of mana beast’s skin, boots, and a pair of daggers from her storage. They were all upper-grade F Rank items, perfectly suitable for a newbie ranker like him.
Nina had also given him 20 Extols and loads of Eddies (Edinburgh dollars).
“Erni, I’ve prepared this gift set for you. I bought it from the city of Lauren.
I was going to give it to you on the day of your departure but tonight feels like a good moment to do so. It would also serve as a gift for your rank breakthrough.
The chainmail armour has a simple Lightweight spell inscribed on it. You can wear it under your shirt and it’ll go unnoticed. The rest of the objects are also compatible with your F Rank mana. You can circulate your mana through them to enhance their functionalities.
And here’s some cash and Extols. For your normal and ranking-related purchases. I know you have some cash on you. But having more wouldn’t hurt.
It’s good that you broke through into the F Rank and can now use the ID stone. We can stay in touch through it. If you need anything else, just inform me and I’ll arrange for you to receive it in the academy. Now tell me, did you like your gift?”
Eren took everything Nina had given to him into his storage. He agreed with her statement. Although he had money, having more of it wouldn’t hurt. And the academy was a place where it would be needed the most.
“I liked them all. But there’s something else I want from you tonight. Memories, Nina. I want good memories from you that would accompany me in these five lonely years.”
Eren looked at Nina with dreamy eyes. Nina understood the wine did not only affect her. Even if Eren had only stored it inside his mouth for a brief period, it was still a C Rank sherry. Eren had gotten half-drunk because of it.
Nina too was feeling light-headed after drinking so many gulps of Madeira. She had decided. She would stock up the wine and keep it in her cellar. And would drink it whenever she felt like remembering Eren.
“Oh, Erni! Let’s make some memories then.”
Nina took Eren in his embrace and Eren embraced back. They both started slow-kissing first before gradually increasing their pace. Both their hands were now set out as the expeditionary party from them. They touched and explored each other’s bodies.
Eren and Nina went on like this for what felt like an eternity and a matter of moments at the same time. Their sense of time had been skewed.
Both of their bodies were on fire. The flames of love, lust, and affection had engulfed them. Soon the duo went inside the tent. They decided that without the need to talk.
Nina laid on the makeshift bed inside the small tent. Eren was on top of her, kissing her neck and twisting her right nipple at the same time.
Nina had started moaning. She had wrapped her legs around Eren who had started dry humping her. His bulge was getting rubbed frantically on Nina’s mound.
“Oh, Erni. Where did you learn all this, I still wonder. I checked your room in your absence. There were no magazines in your room that you claim to have read these techniques from?”
Nina wasn’t aware she wasn’t supposed to say that she had intruded on Eren’s privacy. But she was too far gone and curious to care.
Eren was only lightly feeling the effects of wine. He was still in his control. He didn’t stop what he was doing at the time while replying:
“Why would I need those magazines when I have your hot bod to relish on? Of course, I threw them after seeing this piece of fine ass.”
Eren grabbed Nina’s right butt cheek while saying this. Nina was too flattered by Eren’s responses to care about his language:
“You are an ass man Erni. You won’t like those academy girls’ tiny asses anymore after getting the taste of this big booty! Hehe!”
Nina too was swinging it. She too felt like letting go of all her stoppers.
“That’s right! What will I do for five years without this booty? I’ll have to hit on a good teacher with a figure similar to yours just to curb the feelings I have for you.”
“Cheater jerk! You are thinking about screwing other women while you are with me. At least have the decency to not say it while we are at it.”
Nina pulled Eren’s cheeks as he was busy nibbling on her neck. Eren went up and kissed her on her lips again, inserting his tongue inside. Only after about a minute did he pull his tongue back and asked her:
“Hmm? You are okay with me screwing other women?”
“Of course not, you scoundrel. I said I can deal with it. And that you need to be a little discreet while talking about these things with me.
I know how ravenous a teenage boy’s hormones would get. It’s five years we are talking about. I won’t be allowed to step into the academy grounds unless it’s a special case.
I’m not delusional enough to think you’d stay quiet being a good boy for all those years without trying your hand on other girls. And I’ve only come to accept the eventuality.”
Nina looked into Eren’s eyes while saying it. Both of their faces were two noses away from each other. They could feel each other’s breaths.
Eren smiled and nodded. Nina was right. He wasn’t a good guy. And neither would he stop himself from spending passionate nights with good women. But he had to give Nina something to make her the special existence amid those women:
“You are right Nina. That’s why I want to give you something that would highlight your importance in my life for both of us.”
“What?” Nina asked in anticipation.
