The "battle" didn't last too long. After just three rounds, Marin lay passed out on the bed, her body twitching and sticky. She had a goofy smile on her face, tears in the corners of her eyes, and saliva dripping from her lolling tongue.
She had an ahegao expression.
The body of an ordinary girl like Marin couldn't withstand the superhuman stamina of Tetsuya, who had long surpassed normal human limits. Right now, Tetsuya didn't even feel tired, though sweat was clearly dripping from his temples.
Still, he felt satisfied. The sensation with Marin was different from Saeko, the similarity was that both were equally proactive.
"Huh..."
Gazing at the unconscious Marin, Tetsuya let out a satisfied breath. The hotel room had turned into a complete mess, with sweat and other fluids everywhere, carrying a lewd smell in every corner.
When the hotel staff came in here, they'd definitely complain about having to work extra.
Not just the bed, even the sofa and table were filled with the scent of sex, and there were splatters of love juices on the ceiling.
Wait! What?! How?! I don't know, but the room's ceiling was indeed wet.
"..."
Since his body was sticky after the fight against the red-haired succubus who was currently passed out, Tetsuya decided to shower again.
It was already past seven in the evening, so the atmosphere was cooler. But Tetsuya didn't feel cold, his body had grown stronger, and the nighttime chill wouldn't make him shiver even if he was soaking wet.
After showering, Tetsuya looked at the messy hotel room and fell silent. If only he had some versatile magic like cleaning spells or something, this chaos would be resolved in an instant.
Sighing bitterly, Tetsuya put on the clothes provided by the hotel and went out to the balcony, gazing at the starry night sky while enjoying the cool evening breeze.
"Electrokinesis and Sixth Sense are at Lvl. 3. To upgrade each to Lvl. 4, it takes 50,000 points, while I have 90,000 points left... Should I try the lottery again?"
He was tempted, but remembering how lotteries and gachas were total scams, the more often or eagerly you pulled, the lower the chances of getting something good.
Right now, Tetsuya needed power. Saeko's world was still fine; even when he was an ordinary human, dealing with zombies was easy enough. As long as they weren't Resident Evil-style zombies or mutating ones, Tetsuya could kill them with his sword skills.
But the worlds of the other group members were clearly not that simple. Especially March 7th's world. Pathstriders, Emanators... They wielded power at least on a planetary to galactic scale, and without strength, Tetsuya might end up dead at the hands of the Antimatter Legion.
Not to mention the Aeons, gods reigning at the pinnacle of their Paths, with the power to destroy an entire universe.
Wouldn't he die in an instant?
"Sixth Sense is important too, but reactions without the power to back them up..."
Sixth Sense sharpened Tetsuya's senses; even now, he could hear every breath from the sleeping Marin and the footsteps on the floor below.
He could also catch movements faster, like a mosquito flying in front of his eyes.
"Hiss! Alright, upgrade Electrokinesis to Lvl. 4!"
[Electrokinesis successfully upgraded to Lvl. 4!]
"!!!"
This upgrade felt massive, Tetsuya could sense the upper limits of this ability expanding greatly. Moreover, the lightning and electricity released from it had grown stronger, as if his thunder had jumped from tier 1 to tier 2.
It kinda reminded him of Boboiboy.
"Now, I could probably release a lightning strike that would knock out the power in the entire city of Chiba."
...
The next day, Tetsuya woke up to see Marin already awake and staring at him. When their eyes met, a blush spread across her cheeks, and she shyly looked down.
She still couldn't believe what had happened last night, but it had happened, and Marin only felt happiness in her heart.
She'd liked Tetsuya for a long time. Their first meeting was back in their first year, after all, they'd been classmates since then. Chatting with him, especially about her somewhat perverted otaku hobbies, uhuk! Marin had realized long ago that she'd fallen for him.
Who made Tetsuya so charming? He was handsome, smart, easy to talk to, and above all, he didn't hate her hobbies. Marin wasn't your typical gyaru; she was a cheerful, extroverted girl who just thought looking like this was attractive, when in reality she was a hardcore otaku.
When it came to romance, this was her first time.
Even though it was a bit excessive to lose her virginity on the very first day, it was fine, right? Tetsuya had accepted her too.
Thinking about this, Marin smiled. She looked at Tetsuya and said, "Good morning, Tetsuya-kun~"
Even her tone had turned more flirtatious. Tetsuya was surprised, even Saeko wasn't like this. But he still smiled and replied, "Good morning, Marin."
Since he had plans with Utaha this Sunday, Tetsuya didn't linger at the hotel. After showering and getting dressed, he explained his supernatural powers to Marin, everything except the group chat system.
Marin was naturally shocked to suddenly see Tetsuya generating electricity from his body, and for some reason, she felt proud of her boyfriend, but then she suddenly got jealous and wanted superpowers too. Tetsuya told her he'd find a way in the future, since even now his powers were limited to just that.
Marin was jealous, but not envious. After hearing Tetsuya's words, she cheered up again as usual, and the two checked out of the hotel.
After dropping Marin off at her house, Tetsuya checked the time on his phone, it was around 7 a.m. Utaha had said 8 o'clock, so Tetsuya went home first to change clothes.
After that, Tetsuya drove his car straight to Utaha's house. He'd asked for the address, of course.
By the way, this car was also thanks to his novels. He was a successful novelist. Upon arriving at Utaha's house, Tetsuya took out his phone and sent her a message.
[Tetsuya: Senpai, I've arrived.]
[Utaha-senpai: Wait a moment.]
[Tetsuya: Okay.]
Tetsuya put away his phone, and a few moments later, Utaha came out the front door in casual clothes.
"Sorry for making you wait," Utaha approached and tucked her hair behind her ear.
"It's fine. Shall we head out now?"
Utaha frowned, as if dissatisfied. She'd seriously picked out this outfit last night and wanted her junior to notice, but Tetsuya hadn't commented at all.
"Tetsuya-kun, aren't you supposed to compliment your senpai's appearance?"
Tetsuya looked at her face and chuckled, making Utaha blush a little. "It suits you perfectly. Utaha-senpai looks really beautiful."
"Hmph. Good, but you need to pay more attention next time."
"Alright, I understand," Tetsuya nodded and opened the passenger door. "After you."
Utaha smiled and got in. After she was seated, Tetsuya closed the door and went to the driver's seat. Then, he drove Utaha to where her editor was waiting.
