"Congratulations, both of you."
They never dreamed they could defeat an orc that rivaled even E-class monsters with just the two of them. Yet, they showed no signs of fear, displaying a complete victory as if it were effortless.
Before the battle, their expressions were innocent, like those of virgins untouched by worldly impurities, with a hint of sweetness. However, after the fight, their faces bore a firm determination. The initial anxiety had vanished, replaced by a grand resolve in their eyes.
"Phew, what a great victory!!"
"We did it, we won!!"
Shiha exclaimed as she hugged me in excitement, while Kuranami-senpai clung to me, overwhelmed. Her ample bosom enveloped my face, combining softness akin to marshmallows with a hint of sweat, creating a sensation of bliss.
Even her chubby belly... was amazing. Thanks to it, our bodies were pressed tightly together, allowing me to feel Kuranami-senpai all over. Combined with her weight, it felt like she was filling my entire world. Plus-size girls... are the best!!
Although my view was completely obscured by her breasts, I could imagine Shiha's face turning bright red with anger. Despite being muffled by the fat of her chest, I could faintly hear her voice. Her angry shout...
"Ah, s-sorry!!"
Suddenly, paradise came to an end. As Kuranami-senpai let go, reality returned. As expected, Shiha's face was flushed red.
...It's a shame. I wanted to savor it more. But at the same time, I'm glad it's over. If she had clung to me any longer, the beast in my heart would have shown its fangs. I might have indulged in Senpai's passion, leading to irreversible consequences. Indeed, Johnny Pocotin down there was standing at attention.
"S-Sorry!! I got carried away."
"N-No, it's totally fine."
"I-I pushed my, um, unattractive fat onto you... and I-I probably smelled, right?"
"N-No, it was amazing."
I gave her a thumbs up.
Senpai's face turned even redder.
"...Come on, let's just open the treasure chest already," Shiha said, exasperated.
Right. As amazing as Senpai was, we needed to check this out immediately. According to the description, the chest would disappear if not opened within an hour.
"S-Shiho-kun..."
"? What's up?"
"N-Next time... I'll do it again, okay?"
Blushing, she whispered to me secretly. Resisting temptation was all I could manage. Of course, I couldn't refuse.
...Will I be able to endure it?
...Can I maintain my composure?
...Will I avoid becoming a beast?
...I have no confidence.
Feeling a bit spaced out, I slapped my cheeks. For now, we need to check the treasure chest. I can worry about composure later. Ah... I'm looking forward to it!!
"Well, let's open it."
And Shiha opened the chest.
[Skill Obtained: Body Enhancement]
"Huh... We got the same one."
I never thought we'd get duplicate skills. According to the description, when skills overlap, they merge to form a stronger skill. However, there was no indication of a level increase based on the stats, so there was hardly any noticeable improvement.
Perhaps for regular players, this merging is the only way to enhance skills. It's like in mobile games where an F-class skill becomes F-class+ when merged. Since I can level up, the lack of a tangible upgrade might be due to that.
"W-What about you two?"
"Guess what, we've got news for you!!"
"W-We've reached E-rank!!"
Excitedly, they showed me their phones.
...I expected them to hug me again in their excitement, but understandably, there was no second time. Too bad.

"Wow, that's amazing."
They continued to explain their skills.
"Twin Tiger Style Martial Arts" allows Shiha to envelop her body in aura, enhancing her physical abilities, perfect for a vanguard like her.
"Automatic Mana Recovery" for Kuranami automatically replenishes mana, significantly speeding up the recovery rate. Previously, it took 24 hours for complete mana recovery from depletion, but now, thanks to this skill, it takes around 20 hours.
"You both have become stronger."
"That's right!! We're the strongest!!"
"No matter the enemy, we can defeat them!!"
Their newfound confidence, combined with the acquisition of skills and defeating the orc, was evident. It's not arrogance but rather something admirable.
"That wraps it up."
"Yeah, let's head back!!"
And we passed through the return gate.
Though Senpai got stuck again on the way back.
Her massive butt... was too much.
