I Formed a Party with a Girl via an Adventurer Matching App - Chapter 6

 The Kiss

"……Hey, Cordelia." 

"What is it?"

Cordelia replied, her fingers drifting down to twirl the ends of her twin-tails. The pace at which she was sipping her wine was noticeably faster than before. It was blindingly obvious that she was hyper-aware of my presence.

After all, our Bedroom Compatibility was 215.40%. No matter how much our personalities clashed, there was no way a number like that wouldn't be weighing heavily on both of our minds.

We were sitting on a large, L-shaped couch. Each of us occupied a different side of the "L," sitting diagonally from one another.

Steeling my resolve, I closed the distance between us in one swift motion. Lifting my hips, I slid over and sat right next to Cordelia. Our thighs brushed lightly against each other, and her shoulders gave a sudden, sharp twitch.

"……Hmph. How boorish, just shifting over like that."

In any other situation, a meteor shower of insults would have come flying my way. But this time, all that escaped her lips was a blunt, half-hearted attempt at a jab. Her cheeks were flushed a deep crimson—and I seriously doubted it was just from the wine.

"Cordelia."

As I called her name, I wrapped my arm around her waist.

She was so slender. Wrapped in her high-quality, smooth shirt, her waist curved into a tight, delicate contour. When I pulled her close, Cordelia didn't resist; instead, she leaned softly against me.

At point-blank range, our eyes met. Her deep, garnet-red eyes trembled vulnerably as she looked up into mine. Her lips, glistening and damp from the wine, caught the light of the room and shone with a glossy, captivating luster.

As I leaned my face closer, Cordelia furrowed her brow and closed her eyes. Facing her slightly puckered lips, I swallowed hard, my throat dry.

And just as I brought my face in to press my lips against Cordelia's—

"Ouch!"

Our noses collided.

"Ow, son of a...!"

Our teeth clashed too.

In an instant, the romantic atmosphere completely evaporated. The two of us were left writhing on the couch, clutching our noses and mouths in agony.

""Ow, ow, ow, that hurts……!""

Once the initial wave of pain finally subsided, we locked eyes almost simultaneously.

"Are you serious right now?! You don't even know how to kiss properly?!" "Shut up! It's your fault for having such a high nose bridge!" 

"And our teeth! That hurt! What if you chipped one of my teeth?! Unlike a barbarian like you, my adult teeth aren't going to grow back if they break, you know?!" 

"Mine aren't going to grow back either! I'm not a crocodile!" 

"Ugh, forget it! I'm completely turned off! I was an idiot to believe that broken matching app result for even a second!"

With a huff, Cordelia made a move to stand up from the couch in irritation.

"Ah, hey! Wait!"

To stop her from leaving, I caught her in my arms and held her tight. If I let a kiss end with a collision of noses and teeth, I’d lose my dignity as a man permanently.

"Hey! Let go of me! A stray like you, having the nerve to hug me...!"

While Cordelia was still yapping and shouting her head off, I leaned in and pressed my mouth firmly against her glossy lips. This time, I made sure it connected perfectly.

"Mmph……?! ……?!" 

"Mmh……"

They were so soft. The absolute first thing to register in my mind was the plump, pillowy softness of her lips. Immediately after, the rich, fragrant aroma of wine tickled the back of my nose.

"…………Nn-haah……" 

"Mmh, chu…… nnh……"

This time, there were no noses or teeth in the way. Our lips melted together, allowing me to fully savor their incredible softness.

Eventually, running out of air, I finally pulled away. Only then did I realize I had been mindlessly holding my breath the entire time.

As for Cordelia, the moment her lips were freed—

"Nn…… mmh……" 

"……?!"

As if begging for more, she leaned back in on her own and pressed her lips against mine again.

"……?! Wait, wh-what am I doing……?!"

Even Cordelia seemed to have done it unconsciously. Without even realizing what she was doing, her body had instinctively craved my lips, practically throwing herself into the kiss.

That was just how mind-blowing the pleasure of that single kiss had been for the both of us.

"Haah, haah…… Cordelia……" 

"Ah…… ahn…… mmh…… nnh…… chu……" 

"Mmh…… chu…… haah, haah……" 

"Nnn…… mh, chu…… lurch…… nh……" 

"……?!"

Amidst our frantic, devouring exchange, something warm and slick slipped past my lips, sliding directly into my mouth.

It was Cordelia's tongue. Swept away by her own excitement, she was unconsciously exploring the inside of my mouth.

Welcoming her, I tangled my tongue with hers. Cordelia’s shoulders shuddered violently. It seemed she had finally registered exactly what she was doing.

It was a deep, breathless kiss, our saliva completely blending together. We tasted each other thoroughly until our mouths felt numb and tingling, before finally, reluctantly parting.

Cordelia stared at me, her eyes completely hazy with heat. She touched her fingers to her lips, which were slick with a trace of saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth, as if she still couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Unbelievable…… S-So this is what over 200% feels like……"

Cordelia’s breathing grew heavier, and her thighs rubbed together tightly beneath her skirt.

This was the result of just a kiss. If we actually went all the way, just how intense would a 200% Bedroom Compatibility really be……?

I swallowed hard. Even that small sound felt deafeningly loud in the quiet room.

Then, Cordelia slowly averted her gaze from me, looking toward the deeper end of the living room. Wondering what she was looking at, I watched as she opened her slightly glistening lips and spoke.

"……The room over there is my bedroom." 

"…………!" 

"If you intend to keep going... I think it would be better if we moved in there. What about you?"

It was a question that didn't even need an answer.
