Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Choko knew that if she said that, Nero would think she was a pervert and also disgusting for thinking about these things, even though they were women. But she could not help; things were already falling out of her control.

Nero looked at Choko seriously and asked, "Would you like to try?"

"Huh? Try... Try what?" Choko was confused again.

"Kissing. Since you're so curious, and you're even dreaming about it... I don't mind kissing you.l," Nero said softly.

"I must be hearing things... I need to wake up!" Choko acted totally irrational. She almost hit the pan on her head again but was stopped by Nero, who gazed at Choko with her beautiful narrow eyes with her curved eyebrows in a crescent moon.

Choko looked at Nero's wet and incredibly soft lips and swallowed her saliva dry. She felt her heart pounding in her chest when she asked, "Really? Are you willing to do this with me?"

"Yes. As long as you ask me, I will kiss you." Nero did not allow Choko to think she had heard wrong.

Choko's mind went blank. She didn't expect Nero to tell her that. But then, her heart almost stopped, then beat again very hard, strong enough for her to believe that she could die at any moment from a heart attack... Calming her agitated heart, she took several deep breaths.

Choko said, almost screaming with her incredibly red face, "Yes, that's what I most want at the moment!"

Nero was not a completely passive person. Hearing Choko's positive response, she didn't hesitate and her lips went to meet Choko's. It was the first kiss for both of them, so it was a very strange thing. They didn't even use their tongues; they both just pecked like a bird giving food to its chicks.

But then, Nero boldly understood the languages ​​and licked Choko's lips. It was an unbelievable feeling, somewhat surreal. She wanted to prove it again, but to her surprise, Choko also understood her language, and the two languages ​​brushed.

The eyes of the two girls shone. It was as if they had discovered something new and started to lick each other's tongues. This went on for almost a full minute. They only stopped when Choko discovered something abnormal and exclaimed, "Nero! Your hair... Your hair is getting rosier!"

All the sexual tension that the two were having immediately dispersed, and Nero saw her hair and noticed that it was actually pinker, but then, when the strangely wet and totally clumsy kiss from the two girls stopped, Nero's hair started to return back to white, however, some pinkish threads remained. It even looked like there were more pink threads now than before.

"Wow! Why is this happening?" Not that Choko thought she was ugly, in fact, Nero with pink hair was very beautiful, even more beautiful than she already was.

"I don't know either..." Nero was also confused. She had never experienced this before. No, she thought of something and remembered when she used the bow and made the man fall in love with a tree; it was the same feeling.

"In any case, I think it was because of the kiss, perhaps?" Nero wasn't clear on that, but she did think that maybe because her wish had gotten out of control it reflected in her hair? It was illogical, but she couldn't think of anything else that could have made it happen.

"Err... Maybe?" Choko wanted to suggest that they kiss again, but she didn't have the boldness.

"Well, let's think about it later. It is better that we continue our journey. We don't know when we might end up being found," Nero said.

"Yes, you are right." Remembering that they were still being chased, Choko came to her senses.

After they had finished cleaning themselves with a damp cloth and put on their fighting clothes, Nero and Choko dismantled the tent.

Luna had been sleeping and was woken by Nero. It is notable that Big Blue and Luna had been following Nero's order and had switched shifts between them.

Again, Choko and Nero climbed on Big Blue's back and advanced towards the Nan Empire.

The fact that Nero had defeated a group of mercenaries quite easily was known to many people, and when they saw them move, even though they did not have the courage to try to converse with the girls, they took advantage that they were practically paving the way to the Nan Empire in safety and hitchhiked right behind them.

Nero noticed that they were being followed, but looking at her map, she saw that they had no ulterior motives since they were all still green on the map. Some were between green and red. Perhaps those people didn't know whether to treat Nero and Choko as enemies or not. Well, in all cases, they were all low-level. None of them were above level 6, so there was no reason to fear them.

"Nero, was it good?" Choko asked, suddenly with a flushed face.

"Mm? What are you talking about? Ah, the meat, maybe? I think it was good, although I believe that if there had more seasoning it would have been even better," Nero said.

"Not that!" Choko screamed in frustration and pouted. "If you don't know, forget it!"

'Does she have to act so cute?' Nero smiled and said softly, "It was good. I liked it."

"Ah? Ohhhh..." Choko was amazed, she at first didn't understand, but when she understood, she was speechless.

In the end, even though she had the answer she wanted, Choko was too embarrassed to be able to look at Nero. She kept her head down and only spoke to her sometimes when Nero said something, like, "Look, doesn't that cloud look like a rabbit?" or something embarrassing like, "Oh, those two mountains look like a pair of giant breasts," even, "Why are there two moons, and why is one bigger than the other?"

Choko was no longer so shy. She just looked at Nero, exclaiming everything she saw, like a child who went out to see the city for the first time. Choko particularly liked Nero's cheerful face. Choko had her elbows on her knees while her hands supported her head from the side, looking in Nero's direction.. She smiled many times while watching Nero's reactions.
