"Based on your expression, it seems like you already know it."
Kimberly glanced at him, she was reading him. She was anxious that Calix would think that she yearned for him because of his Term Attribute.
Well, Calix was too absorbed to think about it, heck, he did not even think about it at all. Being used by someone was something that he did not experience. He was hated but being used was not.
Calix scratched his head.
"Well, I already have a gist"
Calix was not stupid, he already had an inkling that Scarlett's 2nd advancement was partly because of his Luck. At first, he was quite in-denial about it but now that he was seeing Kimberly's reaction, it seemed like he had an overpowered Skill.
"I see. Then," Kimberly coughed and she returned to being an immersed scientist. "How about I explain it further for you."
She smiled and her eyes gleamed with excitement, learning new things was her favorite. She urged Calix to look at the board that had numerous letters ad incomprehensible words.
Calix could not say no, especially with Kimberly being cute and urging him. He chuckled and looked at the board, which caused him to frown because he could not understand most of them. He could read but this was different. Numbers, words, letters, unknown symbols, combined together and it became incomprehensible. Calix was confident of his mind but he realized that his knowledge was bleak compared to Kimberly.
Kimberly started telling things but most of it was new to Calix.
" What is this?"
He embarrassingly asked. Kimberly was too absorbed and she could not see his reaction, she just wiped a portion of the board and started writing again.
"You see, you're power is unique. And I want to study it further-" She stuttered, she realized that she made a mistake. "N-No, it's not because I want to do something bad about you, I'm just curious."
Her voice cracked and her eyes started getting teary. The last thing she wanted to happen was Calix hating her.
"It's fine, even I want to know how my power works."
Calix reassure her which made Kimberly sigh in relief. In the three days that they spent together, Calix knew that Kimberly was not a bad girl. She was just clumsy, nothing else.
As matter of fact, the way she tried to seduce him, going further to do some unique sex pose such as Jack-O pose, Calix think of it as pretty cute. He liked how Kimberly did her best just to make him satisfied. In this matter, Kimberly was heaven sent. She did not care about her enjoyment, she wanted to please her partner first before herself. Calix chuckled remembering it, he fuck her countless times, and sure enough, he was greatly satisfied.
"I know it sounds like I'm digging into your privacy, but can I know about your powers you can add your lifestyle too if you want. I'm actually interested in you."
She unconsciously said sheepishly, fixing her glasses, blushing so red.
"Hm? You want to know about me instead of learning about Runic Symbols?"
Calix tilted his head.
"The Runic Symbols can wait, I'm more interested in you than that."
She was stealing glances while her hand was writing something to act like she was focused on writing.
Calix genuinely smiled, this woman was unusual. Talking about his life than the lost technology of Dwarves, really unusual woman. She put importance on ordinary stuff, such as him.
"Why do you want to learn about me?"
"U-Um"
Calix came close and looked at her eye to eye, Kimberly wanted to avert her gaze and retreat but Calix was too tall and he was blocking her escape path.
"Tell me."
Calix wanted to make sure.
"B- because, I It's because I like yoush! Ouch!"
She bit her tongue! She bit her tongue while confessing her love! What a clumsy woman. Calix laughed and held his stomach, it was unexpected, Kimberly pouted but she was delighted that Calix did not feel adverse.
"Well, I can not say that I love you. But I'm confident that I like you."
Calix confirmed it, it was far from love. Calix did not want to hurt her, but it was better for him to be honest. He was the type of guy that won't lie especially to people whom he treasured.
"Un."
It was already enough for Kimberly, for now. She knew that she could not erase Calix's love for his girlfriend, but Kimberly still had a chance, it was enough. The battle was still not over, Calix can be taken since he's not married.
"T- thanks."
She sweetly smiled and looked up at Calix. She wanted to kiss her but her mind was telling her to investigate the Term Attribute first. Her rational and irrational part was fighting, she wanted to take off her glasses and act like a woman in heat. Her eyeglasses were her protector and torturer at the same time.
But before she could gather the courage to take her glasses, Calix started talking about his power. Kimberly nodded, smiled, and started listening. However, she was disappointed inside.
'We just had sex in the morning but I already miss his touch.'
She said inside her mind with lament. Anyway, the disappointment quickly disappeared when Calix started talking. She was interested in him so everything he said was music to her ears.
Their conversation finished within a half-hour, Calix just explained how his power and backlash works. Overall he was not entirely sure about his power but he decided to talk about it.
Kimberly wrote most of the important stuff, she did not miss anything, how could she?
"Okay, first: your fuel is intercourse, is that right?"
"I'm not entirely sure but I think yes."
"Second," she fixed her glasses, she didn't want her glasses to accidentally fall off now that she was immersed. She would release her glasses after everything was clear.
"Your power only works for three days, after that you have to have sex again."
Calix agreed, he was sure about this one.
"Third, your backlash makes you a miserable unfortunate man."
"Yes"
It was the three main factors of Calix's power. They did not tackle about the effects since it was still ambiguous.
"If we look at this, I can say that you just recently decipher your power because you have little information about it. However, we still have a lot of ways to research, do you think?"
Kimberly stood up and took off her glasses. She already had an idea, so it was time to perform it. She licked her lips and sat on his lap. The waiting was over, she touched his chest down to his abdomen.
"So how about we experiment to know more about it, hm?"
