Once Suuru knew what to do and didn't need much help anymore, I took the opportunity to train together with her. After getting to know this world better, I was able to select which spell would be the most useful for me to master next. I didn't need to consider it for long since the choice was obvious. I needed to master the spell called "permanent dimensional linkage", the famous "gate" spell. I initially couldn't help hesitating after coming to this conclusion since I was a bit traumatized by the gate incident that sent me here but, realistically, the probability of this happening again was almost non-existent. In the history of my world, the number of gate incidents could be counted on the fingers of both hands. Human hands, of course.
I had ranked up not too long before graduating so I would need several years of effort before mastering the spell. I wasn't in a hurry, though. As long as nothing special happened, my lifespan should reach a total of around two hundred years. Time was a plentiful resource for me.
We trained until it was time for dinner and ate the leftover food together with the vegetables and fruits I bought from Giya. Now that we tasted the abundance of products from the outer world, we had no plans of going back to our previously limited meal options. For dessert, I took out a bag of candies. Suuru recognized them from Geola's market and her eyes lit up. I offered her to indulge, which she quickly did.
"So sweet. I've never eaten candies before. Sugar is way too expensive here."
"I'm surprised they're growing anything that can be transformed into sugar at all. It's not a necessary crop, right?"
"I only know that some rich people in the city pushed for one field to be reserved for sugar beet."
"I see. Here take some more."
"Thanks."
We enjoyed the treat for some time until we were full. After some minutes of resting in silence and appreciating having a belly filled with delicious food, I proposed another activity.
"Do you want to have sex?"
"Yes, I'd like to."
I liked how straightforward things were with her.
"To celebrate our future success, I'll show another variant."
"There are still more?"
"Yes. I told you, right? Sex can be used to have babies. In my world and the outer world, people have been practicing the act forever. The number of variations is almost infinite."
"I still can't believe this. How can you have a baby with sex?"
"It's not that complicated. Have you never wondered why your vagina is a "hole" while my penis is a "stick"?"
"You mean…"
"Yes. One goes into the other."
"Is that possible?"
"Absolutely. Remember the fluids you produce when I touch you? It's possible to use those as lubrification."
"But still… My vagina hole is so small. How can your penis fit in there?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to show you today."
"Isn't it going to hurt?"
"Only the first time."
She took on a scared expression.
"Err… No thanks. I'm fine with doing it as usual."
"I knew you'd say that. There's still a great benefit in trying it, you know?"
"…What benefit?"
"Sure, the first time's going to hurt. But after that, it's going to be better than anything we did before."
"…Really?"
"Really."
"How much better?"
"I'm not sure either. To tell you the truth, I haven't tried that part yet. Plus, I'm not a woman so I wouldn't know."
"You never tried? Will you be able to do it correctly?"
"I think so. And, according to the women who tried, it's like a completely new world of pleasure."
"You're lying."
"No, it's true. Apparently, some parts inside the vagina feel just as good as the clitoris. Now imagine if all of that is massaged at the same time?"
"Hmm…"
If this was two weeks ago, such a talk wouldn't have any effect on her. Now that she had tasted sexual pleasure, though, she couldn't help reacting to it. Her eyes widened a little while her cheeks blushed slightly in excitement. Her imagination was now filling any void of what could happen to her during that time.
"I still don't like pain..."
"I know. But, think about it. A small moment of pain for a life's worth of greater pleasure. Isn't it a good deal?"
"I don't know… Wait, you said something about having a baby? How does that work?"
It was obvious she was trying to change the topic but I didn't mind. I was confident in convincing her in the end.
"You know the liquid that comes out of my penis when I reach orgasm? If it reaches deep inside your vagina, there's a chance a baby will be created."
"What? Is that true?"
"Yep."
"And then what?"
"The baby will grow into your belly."
"…Isn't that extremely weird?"
"From your point of view, I guess so. For everyone else, it's the normal way."
"Hmm. It's hard to imagine but isn't it risky? I'm not sure I want to have a baby right now."
I approached her and lifted her shin with my finger before kissing her softly. She let me do it, looking at me interrogatingly.
"You don't want to have a baby with me?"
"Uh… Well… We're not…"
Seeing her so confused, I grinned again.
"I'm kidding. I understand. I don't plan to have one yet either. I'll be careful when we have sex."
"…You're mean."
"I know. You wanted me to tell you the truth, right? I probably have almost two hundred years in front of me. I don't plan on starting any serious relationship within the next eighty years or so."
"What? Eighty years? Wouldn't I be dead by then?"
"That's why you should work hard to increase your rank. I'll help you as much as I can but it's your effort that matters in the end."
She thought about it for a few moments before nodding with determination.
"Yes. I'll try my best and train hard."
"Good. We should get started. Let's go to your room."
I took her hand in mine and guided her to the sole bed in the house. She followed me docilely for a few seconds but suddenly stopped moving.
"Wait. I didn't agree yet!"
I smiled once again. She was already mostly convinced. Her last attempt to resist only looked cute in my eyes.
