Chapter 261: The Night Raid on the Elf Girl
Under the cover of night, the residence on the top floor of the Magic Association tower was quiet.
Inside Kurtz's room, only a little moonlight served as a light source, barely enough to see everything clearly. The room's occupant was already asleep, breathing very steadily.
Suddenly, the door on the other side was silently pushed open a crack.
Serie, barefoot, quietly slipped in. She wore a soft white nightgown, her long golden hair cascading down her back, shimmering faintly in the moonlight.
Serie's movements were cautious, tinged with a hint of hesitation. In her usually calm golden eyes, a trace of hesitation and a certain determination flickered.
She slowly walked to Kurtz's bedside and stopped. She looked down at the sleeping man for a long moment.
She lost the bet with that man.
Serie had planned to just casually kiss him at some random time, but she didn't expect Kurtz to make a new request: let her kiss him when he's unaware of it.
After being forced to agree, Serie thought it over carefully and decided to take advantage of the man's sleep to finish the kiss quickly.
In the past, Serie might have treated this request as a new model of love and learned from it, completing it meticulously. But for some reason, she remembered the romance novel that Kurtz had confiscated.
There seems to be a similar plot in the book.
The female protagonist in the book sneaked into the male protagonist's room one night and kissed him while he was sleeping. The book describes how, after that kiss, their relationship seemed to take a breakthrough.
Serie tilted her head slightly, trying hard to recall the details from the book.
Although she also felt that many of the plots in the book were exaggerated and illogical, the idea that kissing could improve a relationship did have some credibility, and Kurtz was very enthusiastic about it.
Although Serie herself felt that this contact between the mucous membranes was meaningless except for making her heart race and her thoughts become chaotic, the book's logic was undeniably compelling.
Since she was already here, she might as well follow the successful examples in the book.
It should be effective, right?
And it would be on her own initiative.
This thought gave Serie a strange flutter in her heart. She was used to accepting Kurtz's closeness and then responding to that intimacy, but to take the initiative... seemed like stepping into unexplored territory.
She stood by the bed and took several deep breaths to suppress the inexplicable emotions in her heart. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she carefully bent down.
As she slowly moved closer to the man's face, she could clearly feel his breath brushing against her cheek, making it feel slightly itchy.
Getting closer and closer.
Getting closer and closer.
Her heart started racing again, accompanied by an indescribable sense of tension.
Finally, her lips, trembling slightly, touched Kurtz's lips.
A soft and warm touch came over her. It was quite different from what she had imagined, and completely different from the feeling she had when Kurtz kissed her first. It was as if this was a tentative contact, like the first snowflakes falling to the ground, touching and then separating.
Serie quickly straightened up and took a small step back. She subconsciously covered her lips, where the soft touch and warmth still lingered.
It was a success? Just like it's written in the book?
She stood there, watching Kurtz quietly for a while, trying to make sure he hadn't been awakened. A sense of smug satisfaction arose, as if she had secretly done something wrong but hadn't been caught.
However, just as she was preparing to complete her mission and secretly leave, like the heroine in the book—
Kurtz, who should have been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Got you." He tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips. "Miss Night Raid."
Serie's body froze instantly!
Her golden pupils contracted slightly, and the hint of smugness on her face instantly turned into astonishment and panic.
"You...you're not asleep?" she asked instinctively, her voice trembling with a rare stutter.
Kurtz sat up with a smile and easily pulled the still-shocked elf into his arms. Caught off guard, Serie fell to the side of the bed and was caught in a tight embrace by him.
"I was asleep," Kurtz said, resting his chin on her fragrant hair, his voice full of pleasure. "But the noise of someone sneaking in woke me up, and then I thought, let's see what mischief she's up to."
Serie's face flushed crimson instantly. She tried to struggle, but Kurtz's arms were tightly wrapped around her, immobilizing her.
"Who told you to make such a strange request!" she grumbled, her body pressing against his in protest. "Foolish human!"
If it weren't for that strange request, she would have just given him a quick kiss already. Why would she have gone to this man's room in the middle of the night, and carefully tried not to wake him up?
"But isn't it interesting?" Kurtz chuckled, his chest vibrating with amusement. "And I've been awake ever since you opened the door."
Kurtz was indeed hoping that the elf lady would think of raiding him at night, and Serie's choice suited his wishes perfectly.
Serie fell silent, lowering her head deeply. She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Kurtz patted her back gently and said softly, "However, I really like this surprise."
He lowered his head, found her blushing earlobe, and gently bit it. He felt the body in his arms tremble violently.
The shame of having her ear bitten by this man made her raise her small hand and angrily punch his chest. Seeing that he showed no sign of letting go, she tried to punch him a second time, but he easily caught her wrist and held it gently but firmly.
"Didn't I tell you? I'll teach you more about human love through real-world experience."
Kurtz smiled. He lowered his head without a word and kissed her lips, which were slightly parted in surprise.
That kiss instantly robbed Serie of all her ability to think.
Her mind went blank, and she could only passively endure the sudden kiss, her small fist still pressed against his chest but no longer struggling. All coherent thought dissolved.
It should have been me taking the initiative. But I already did take the initiative. And now... this.
After a long while, Kurtz reluctantly released her. He looked at the dazed and slightly panting elf in his arms and smiled with satisfaction.
"This is the complete night raid," he announced in a low voice, his tone full of pride. "From now on, you can kiss me anytime you want. You don't need to do it while I'm asleep. I look forward to Miss Elf taking the initiative."
Serie was panting, her watery golden eyes glaring at him. But it didn't have any power; instead, it seemed more like she was being coquettish.
"Alright, that was a great bet." Kurtz pulled her closer, lay back down, and pulled the blanket over them both. "Now, go to sleep. Or... what else do you want to do?"
Serie immediately buried her face in his chest and muffledly commanded, "...Sleep!"
Kurtz let out a pleasant laugh, contentedly embracing the now slightly warm elf lady in his arms. He closed his eyes, feeling her heartbeat gradually slow against his chest as she nestled against him, the room settling into peaceful quiet once more.
