Chapter 35: The Dark Voice and the Light of the Lover Maid
As I left the brothel, a wave of exhaustion hit me, along with a pang of guilt. Even though it was necessary, had I gone too far with Laika, who was just a cheeky young girl? Was what I did any different from the vile acts of a pimp or a gangster?
Until moments ago, I hadn’t felt this guilt at all. It meant the effects of my "Psychopath" skill had worn off.
I desperately told myself, "There was no other way," "This is another world," "Laika enjoyed it," and "Lucia praised me," trying to suppress the guilt.
Still, I was shocked to discover I had such a talent. Like with Iris, I felt like I was uncovering a hidden side of myself at this age.
(Iris... wait a second!)
I checked my status.
My level had gone up by three. Or rather, considering all the intense sex I had with Lucia and Laika, should I say it only went up by three? It seemed compatibility played a big role in leveling up. As expected, Reina was like a Metal Slime for me.
The real issue was my skills.
[Skill "Womanizer" acquired]
As I feared, I’d gained a strange skill again. "Womanizer" was practically a dead word. I hadn’t heard it in years.
[Womanizer: By charming women, their affection toward you increases.]
