'This… What is this? My body is melting in his embrace.'
Renita thought before letting her body run on autopilot. She rubbed her face against his chest. Soon, she discovered that one of Eren's hands had abandoned its previous task. She was just about to wonder where it was when she felt a gentle lift under her chin.
Eren lifted Renita's face and brought his lips closer to hers. He looked her in the eyes. She seemed drunk on her feelings. Eren flashed a wicked smile before initiating his first lip-lock with the girl.
'Mmmmmm!'
Renita hummed when she felt Eren's lips on hers. Soon Eren's tongue invaded her mouth while his free hand pressed her left butt cheek. With his right hand, Eren started grouping Renita's perky left boob. He felt the nippy getting aroused over her clothes and twisted it a bit.
"Oh Eren…. aaaaah!"
Renita let out a soft moan as she spoke Eren's name seductively. This encouraged Eren to continue his endeavour. He used his index finger to trace the ranger's butt crack while intensifying his smooch some more.
'What has this turned into… I don't dislike it… but… to be doing this out in the open…'
Renita's rational mind was telling her to pause what they were doing. But the irrational side took over soon after-- when the waves of pleasure overwhelmed her senses.
Renita's feminine region started getting wet. She subconsciously started rubbing it against his body. She liked feeling his body's presence there.
Eren was just about to insert his hands into Renita's pants from behind when he heard an unwanted voice from behind:
"You guys… should get a room."
Renita opened her eyes wide when she heard the voice. She was snapped back to reality as she looked at the source of that voice. This was Lin Karr's voice who was looking at the couple from a distance while smiling.
It didn't take Renita long to separate herself from her supposed crime partner. She adjusted her clothes and said to Eren in a hurry:
"I'll come to say goodbye to you tomorrow before you go, okay? Don't… don't leave before that."
Eren was left speechless and unsatisfied as Renita walked away to her dorm in a hurry. He stood there unsure of what he was supposed to do. He wanted to follow her. But then he heard Lin Karr's voice again from behind him:
"Eren, young man, I see that you've broken through the Ace rank. That's… one way to celebrate your breakthrough I guess. Congratulations.
I see that the rank-up did you a favour by making you look almost as smart as me. Almost. Hahaha!"
Eren was still looking at Renita's back which soon disappeared when he heard Lin's voice coming from behind him. He didn't immediately turn away but thought of a wild idea:
'This fucking airhead wants me blue balled. What are my chances of killing him if I use a bunch of potion bombs on him?'
Eren finally found his happy place in his head as he turned back. He was blasting the guy with potion bombs after potion bombs in that happy place.
Lin saw the smile on his student's face and smiled back. But for some reason, he felt that Eren was smiling for a different reason rather than greeting him with it.
"Thank you, Professor Lin. How can I help you at this hour?"
Eren asked while staring into the guy's eyes. Lin understood what might have ticked the guy off soon after. But he had to do it since he had some work to assign to Eren. He couldn't wait for the guy to keep on going at it until he was done.
Lin scratched his right cheek and smiled awkwardly before he said it:
"Well, I'm glad that you asked. Um… you have taken an on-field assignment right? Are you planning to visit the city of Osan first?"
Eren raised his eyebrows before nodding. The supposed array master continued:
"That's good. As you might have heard, Isen Osan, that shady old geezer, has been missing for some time now. Frankly, if you ask me, that guy was trouble, to begin with.
Anyway, soon a ranked officer from Edinburgh will take charge of the city. Can you help me pass a message to him? It wouldn't take you more than a few minutes to do it."
Eren got confused after Lin's strange request. Lin continued his speech quickly before he could ask the guy about his reasoning:
"You see, Eren, this message is kind of a personal deal between him and me.
And I don't want to use official channels. I can't go because… well... Something big is about to blow up. And I'm needed here for that. So you come into the picture. Will you do it?"
Eren scratched his chin before asking:
"What do I get in return for this?"
Lin had black lines on his forehead after he heard one of his students asking him for commission for doing a simple job. He sighed and tried to offer him a few Extols:
"How does… 50 Extols sound to you?"
"Weak."
"Then 100!"
"Still weak."
Lin was pissed when he heard Eren's greedy nature. He pointed a finger at him before speaking in an anger-suppressed voice:
"Listen here, you spoiled brat, just because you gained an Ace rank does not mean…"
Eren stopped him from saying any further with his hand gesture before responding:
"It's not about your or my rank, professor. It's about the type of message you need to send. Since it is so secretive that you can't use official channels, I believe it holds a crucial piece of information. The price increase I'm about to announce is related to that. Nothing else."
Lin had to agree the logic behind Eren's greed was sound. But that didn't make him feel better about it.
"How much do you want?"
Lin said while trying to check the amount of Extols he had on him in his storage. Eren smiled at him, giving him the creeps. The butcher raised his hand and showed five stretched fingers.
"Five hundred Extols."
'This fucking brat…'
Lin's soul almost left his body when he heard Eren open his greedy mouth and give him his charges for availing of his private courier services.
AN: *Cough… Sorry for… you know… blue balling you guys along with Eren! Blame Lin Karr for this. Eren shall resume his "adventures" from chapter 367.
I come bearing good news though. The entire scene, spanning seven chapters, will be released in one go during the weekend.
