"Hmm, why is the pillow so soft and fragrant?" Austin yawned as he stretched his limbs sluggishly. It felt as if he had just awakened from a restful and rejuvenating sleep, and the sensation was incredibly refreshing.
Moreover, the pillow he clutched felt unusually soft and emitted a pleasant fragrance.
Oddly enough, the pillow seemed to have a subtle rhythm of breathing.
"Huh? Breathing?" Austin's drowsiness dissipated instantly, replaced by a sense of astonishment as he scrutinized the 'pillow'.
There was no pillow; instead, a woman lay on his chest. Her black hair cascaded down, resembling a curtain. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her mouth formed a subtle pout, as though she were chewing on something. Her massive breasts pressed against his, and her legs and arms were intricately entwined with his.
The woman in question was none other than Satella.
For some unknown reason, Satella had spent the night beside him.
As if sensing his awakening, Satella gradually opened her eyes. Frame by frame, her scarlet eyes came into focus.
"Good morning, brother," Satella greeted cheerfully, planting a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Unable to resist her coquettish act any longer, Austin found himself entranced by her scarlet eyes, as if under the influence of an Aphrodisiac. Pressing her body down, he positioned himself above her. Without uttering a word, he began to lower himself, delicately tracing his tongue along her clavicle.
"Brother..." His skillful movements with his tongue seemed to intensely arouse her, eliciting continuous moans beside his ears.
After thoroughly smearing her clavicle and neck with his salivas, he finally brought his mouth to hers, initiating a gentle kiss.
What began as a small peck soon evolved into a more lingering kiss, and before long, it transformed into a passionate French kiss. Both of them extended their tongues, entwining them with each other in a heated embrace.
Breathing in each other's mouths, they couldn't seem to get enough of each other.
Having lost track of time, Austin raised his head. Captivated by her charming and bashful expression, adorned with wet and rosy lips and playful eyes, he leaned in to kiss her once more.
Satella closed her eyes once again, anticipating another deep kiss, but was slightly surprised to find that her brother only lightly kissed the lingering traces of their previous embrace.
After a while, Austin reluctantly broke free from their kiss and said with a smile, "Good morning to you too."
He could feel his 'little brother' was on the verge of exploding. If he continued, he wasn't sure if he could stop himself. Regardless, he felt that this wasn't the right time and place for such actions. That's why, despite the reluctance, he decisively stopped his actions.
"How long have I been asleep?" Austin asked, recalling that his memory ended at the point when his exhaustion peaked during the experiment with Alysia.
"Two years," Satella answered softly, still breathless from their passionate kissing.
"Huh?" Austin immediately eyed Satella and noticed the corner of her lips tugging upward slightly. "Stop lying to me," he bellowed, playfully spanking her ass.
"Aw!" Satella cried out, but it didn't sound like she was in pain. Instead, she seemed to take pleasure in it.
"Are you a masochist?!" Austin inquired with wide eyes.
"Guess," Satella smiled mysteriously.
Austin was about to spank her again when he realized something. He initially overlooked it, as his focus was entirely on Satella.
'Is my broken arm back to normal?'
Not only that, but he also noticed that his lingering back pain had practically vanished.
'Did Alysia end up curing me despite her constant retorts and seeming reluctance to assist? She's unexpectedly quite a tsundere,' Austin mused with interest.
"What's on your mind, brother? Are you thinking about another girl?" Satella placed both palms on his cheeks and lightly squeezed them, her frown deepening.
'Huh? How does she know? Is this the so-called woman's intuition?'
As a reasonable man, he naturally wouldn't admit he was just thinking of Alysia.
"Of course not. I was pondering something else. By the way, you haven't answered my earlier question. How much time has passed since I was asleep?" Austin deftly changed the subject.
"Two days," Satella pouted unhappily.
"Two days? That's quite a long nap," Austin exclaimed in mild shock.
"Hmm," Satella nodded in agreement. "That Fox assured me that you were okay, just caught in a deep sleep out of exhaustion. I didn't want to disturb your rest, but I've been feeling quite lonely these past few days. That woman, Agatha, is downright terrifying. She won't give me a break, and I was forced to resort to threatening that I won't be her experimental subject anymore if she continues behaving tyrannically."
"Poor you, you must have been going through a lot." Austin gently patted her head before expressing confusion. "Fox?" He picked up on the peculiar word in her sentence and looked at Satella with a questioning gaze, but she had turned her head away.
It took him a few seconds to finally understand who she was referring to.
Other than Alysia, who else would she describe someone as a fox?
They continued to chat for a while before Austin inquired hesitantly, "Satella, did you use half of your vanilla lotion bottle on your body?"
"No way! Why would I do something so silly? If I did, my skin would turn all mushy," Satella instantly refuted.
"That's strange. I notice the vanilla fragrance on you is much stronger. It wasn't like this before. It's as if the scent is five times stronger than usual and it's kind of make me a bit slightly fed up." Austin admitted.
"What's wrong? Should I keep my distance from you?"
"No, wait, let me check for a moment." Austin immediately closed his eyes and delved into his subconscious.
Immediately, he felt enlightened and shocked. Besides the Rune Of Pride, there were two new runes - Envy and Sloth.
"Holy shit. How did I end up with two new runes in my sleep? And why Envy and Sloth, not Wrath? I understand Sloth might be due to the fact I slept for two days straight, but Envy? Whom have I envied? Or, who recently envied me?"
As he was feeling lost, he quickly returned to reality and heard hurried footsteps approaching from outside the room.
'I can hear footsteps from outside the room now? When I received the Rune Of Pride, it was my vision that got enhanced. Is it now the turn for my sense of hearing and smell to be enhanced?' Austin thought, feeling amazed.
As the footsteps drew closer, they finally stopped right in front of his door. The owner of the footsteps had their hand on the door handle and just needed a light push to open it. However, the person immediately halted and took a few steps back in hesitation. After a brief moment of indecision, the person seemed to realize something and just kicked the door open.
Satella appeared shocked and then alarmed, but Austin quickly reassured her.
The person who kicked the door open turned out to be Alysia.
She was still in her nightgown and didn't seem to be fully awake.
Austin subconsciously sized her up and down. Clad in a white nightgown, Alysia seemed to exude purity with a hint of allure. Her milky white thighs were prominently displayed, and her breasts, though not as large as Satella's, appeared firm, round, and perfectly proportioned. At the moment, her bare face, appears flushed, seemingly in excitement and disbelief.
Similarly, Alysia appeared to be observing Austin from toe to head.
It was Satella who fumed. "Are you out of your mind? You can't just barge into someone's room like that!"
Alysia looked at Satella lazily. "Firstly, this room is still part of my mansion, so technically, it's mine. Secondly, your room should be in the left wing, not here."
Satella realized she couldn't dispute any of Alysia's claims. In annoyance, she simply snorted dismissively.
Alysia abstained from getting into another argument with Satella and immediately shifted her gaze to Austin. "Did you just..."
Her shock prevented her from completing the sentence.
"As you can guess, I, magically, managed to obtain myself the Runes of Envy and Sloth!"
Alysia's mouth hung open. She reacted similarly when she first learned that Austin had obtained the Rune of Pride.
How much time has passed? It's only been a mere two fuck*ng days!
What sort of monster was Austin exactly? How could he defy the norm and acquire the Runes of the Seven Deadly Sins as effortlessly as picking vegetables?
Did he really want to adopt One Day One Sin just like delivery services slogans nowadays?
Though Alysia didn't cause a major commotion, the others in the mansion were far from ordinary humans. As a result, Eris was the first to arrive.
"What's wrong, young miss?" she inquired, a blend of curiosity and concern in her voice. Then, her gaze fell upon Austin and Satella, who were sharing the same bed.
Casting a disdainful look at Austin, she snorted. "Scum!"
Noticing that Alysia was still in her nightgown, Eris hurried to fetch a blanket from the wardrobe. She draped it around Alysia, skillfully spinning it like a cocoon.
"Hey, don't spin me, Eris. I'm getting dizzy," Alysia complained softly.
Her enticing figure was now entirely concealed beneath the thick blanket, leaving only her head and small face sticking out, looking cute.
At that moment, Satella finally noticed that Alysia previously was still in her nightgown. She shot a hateful glance at Austin, pinching and twisting his waist in anger.
"Ah! Ah!" Austin couldn't help but let out a few screams.
When Agatha arrived, this was the scene that greeted her. Unable to hold back, she commented, "Are you guys a kid?!"
