Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

With all his might, Ian finally broke free from those constraints.

However, he also suffered a severe blow as a result.

Disobeying one's mother comes at a price.

The last moment before leaving the Sea of ​​Life and falling into a world where time and space begin to flow.

He seemed to see his mother standing there.

"I'll bring you back—"

"You are mine—"

"No one can change that—"

I have no energy left to argue.

Ian closed his eyes and let himself fall.

Almost at the same time.

Britain, by a lake.

The bright moonlight fell casually on the lake surface.

In the lake, a blonde girl watched everything before her with great anxiety.

To be precise——

He stood there with nothing there, looking at everything before him.

The girl's name was Artoria.

Just now, she witnessed the most shocking scene of her life.

There was a loud noise in the sky.

Then the meteor made a dazzling appearance.

And then……

It made a "splat" sound.

It fell not far from her as she sang a little tune while taking a bath.

Is that a person?

Or what is it?

With only moonlight nearby, Artoria couldn't tell at all.

but……

She could vaguely sense that the other person had a scent very similar to her own.

No.

It's not really about the taste.

It's more like they saw someone else like them and exclaimed, "Wow, so it's not just me!"

Why is this happening?

Unbeknownst to her, the girl was getting closer and closer to the other person.

Upon seeing the other person, Artoria paused for a moment, then blushed.

"He's a very handsome boy..."

She said so.

2. You taste amazing!

He's so good looking.

This was Artoria's first impression of the boy in front of her, who was about the same age as her.

She swore it wasn't lust at first sight, but rather that there was a genuine, indescribable sense of comfort emanating from the other person.

just like……

They are generally "of the same kind".

But then again——

The girl's gaze cautiously explored him before her.

Why is he not wearing anything?

and……

He was covered in injuries.

It's as if they just ran out of a thicket of thorns.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Artoria asked tentatively.

no respond.

The girl reached out again and poked the other person's cheek.

Still no response.

A bad thought immediately popped into Artoria's head.

not……

Dead?

She looked up at the starry sky where the other person had just fallen, her eyes showing a complicated expression.

That makes perfect sense, really...

Falling from that height, a normal person would have been turned into mincemeat long ago, right?

This thing might look fine on the outside, but it's completely broken inside.

Then, shouldn't we find a place to bury him?

Should we try to save it again?

Just as Artoria's left and right brains were battling each other, a ripple appeared on the surface of the lake.

The boy's finger twitched.

"thirsty……"

"So thirsty..."

Confirming that she hadn't misheard, Artoria quickly responded.

"Are you ok?"

"thirsty……"

"So thirsty..."

"Eh?"

Artoria hesitated for a moment, then turned back and ran towards the lake behind her.

Although it's the place where I just took a shower, it's the only place with water nearby.

It's important to save people.

We'll discuss whether or not this counts as my own bathwater later!

"coming!"

Artoria, having rolled up a leaf into a ball and filled it with water, hurriedly returned to the other person's side.

"Drink up—"

Gurgling.

The girl carefully poured the water into the other person's mouth.

That should be enough, right?

Artoria waited anxiously.

The boy didn't drink a drop of water even after being given a sip.

"That's not it……"

"That's not what I want..."

Artoria was a little confused.

Could it be...

He recognized it as his bathwater, didn't he?

No, no!

The girl shook her head.

How is this possible!

There must be another reason!

But what could that be...?

Before Artoria could figure out what was going on, the boy suddenly sat up.

"Hey, are you alright?"

As soon as Artoria finished speaking, she felt a hungry gaze upon her.

In that instant, she suddenly realized something.

Because of the urgency to save lives—

I haven't even changed my clothes yet!

"Please calm down!"

Artoria said this, then covered her chest with both hands.

"Otherwise, I'll call for help!"

But all of this seemed to be of no use.

The boy still rushed towards the girl.

In a flash, he tackled her to the ground on the grass by the lake.

"So strong—"

With her hands pinned down, Artoria found herself completely unable to resist.

She regretted being so kind just now.

"don't want--"

"This can't be done—"

Although her opponent did indeed skillfully step into Artoria's strike zone, this suffocating pressure was not what she wanted at all.

"So thirsty..."

"I'm so thirsty..."

The boy said this, and then lowered his head.

"No!"

Artoria screamed.

But soon she discovered that things didn't seem to be quite the same as she had imagined.

True.

The other party did indeed display a fierce demeanor and overstepped boundaries, while also exuding an undeniable sense of oppression.
