Chiori closed her eyes, her lips pursed, as she deeply felt the varying pressure of Lu Li's fingertips and palm. Her small foot was currently wrapped in an exquisitely embroidered stocking. Lu Li hadn't removed it, but instead began to gently massage her directly through the fabric.
On one hand, the texture was actually quite pleasant, and the pressure still transferred effectively. On the other hand, Chiori's stockings were the garter type, not the kind that maintained a certain distance from the skirt to form a "zettai ryouiki" (absolute territory). Given this, Lu Li knew he shouldn't ask to remove them; Chiori would certainly refuse, and he wouldn't force her. It didn't matter whether she wore them or not.
Besides, once he began, Lu Li quickly confirmed the thought that had been in his mind. This intimate contact did indeed meet the activation condition.
Because just as he started to play with—or rather, massage—her foot, a game-like prompt appeared in his mind:
[Contact with Main Character—Arlecchino. Intimate Contact (Achieved), Negative Distance Deep Contact (Not Achieved)] [Contact with Main Character—Chiori. Intimate Contact (Achieved), Negative Distance Deep Contact (Not Achieved)] [Drawing Chances Acquired: 2]
And so, Lu Li finally understood the detailed rules. According to this prompt, all the playable female characters from the game could, in theory, provide him with two chances each. But only two. In other words, if Lu Li wanted to continuously grow stronger this way, he was destined to create a harem and form relationships with more female characters.
This choice was, frankly, too perverted! Was forming a bond with a girl that easy? The female characters in Genshin Impact all had distinct personalities and their own remarkable talents; they were the best of the best. Did he really think he could build a harem and they wouldn't mind when they found out?
But the thought of giving it all up was too painful. So now, even knowing this could lead to a terrible disaster, for the sake of [POWER], Lu Li... was determined to persist.
He was currently gently pressing on Chiori's cute toes, which were like exquisite little pearls beneath the black stocking. They looked so small and delicate. Despite walking all morning, her feet, wrapped in stockings and sandals, should have carried a strong scent of sweat. But surprisingly, as he massaged the foot on his lap, even at such a close distance, he didn't smell much of anything.
Furthermore, Chiori's stockinged feet had another point in their favor. Generally, beautiful girls look very cute with painted toenails if they are barefoot or wearing sandals. It doesn't look out of place and fully accentuates the charm of their legs, like the swimsuit versions of Barbara, Nilou, or Yae Miko. But wearing black stockings, with painted nails, and then wearing boots... that would be unacceptable, no matter how you looked at it.
As Lu Li quietly massaged Chiori's feet, relieving muscle tension and soothing cramps, he also got a good sense of her shoe size. No wonder she looked so cute even in those high-heeled geta; her small, soft feet were indeed flawless.
After enjoying about ten minutes of the massage, Chiori slowly opened her eyes and looked at the blushing Lu Li opposite her. The massage had been incredibly helpful; the soreness in her calf was now completely gone.
However... thanks to the physical enhancement her Vision granted her, Chiori's eyesight was particularly sharp. Naturally, she noticed his rather prominent state.
Seeing that Lu Li remained focused, and that although he was having a physiological reaction, he was managing to control himself while serving her, Chiori pursed her lips and made a decision.
She suddenly scooted forward, moved her foot from his hands, and pressed it down on that misbehaving place.
Lu Li sucked in a sharp breath. He looked up to see Chiori staring at him with a calm expression. She stirred the tea in her cup with a small spoon, but at the same time, her skilled footwork had clearly found his weak spot.
"Chiori... you..."
"Drink your tea, you pervert..." Chiori interrupted him softly. "I noticed it a long time ago. Now, I'll grant your wish."
Lu Li's mouth hung open. Was she referring to when she was petting the Bubbly Seahorse? He remained silent for a long moment. Finally, clenching his jaw, he didn't refuse, but he also didn't want to be a complete mess on the way back.
So, under Chiori's surprised gaze, he embarrassingly and silently released himself.
Even for someone as cool and mature as Chiori, her heart began to race. The speed at which she stirred her tea suddenly increased. Her feet, clamped around him, also began to move faster. One moment she used the top and sole of her feet to press on him, the next she attacked from both sides with her soles...
Watching Lu Li, unable to bear it any longer, lean over the table and pant softly, Chiori, now fully aware of what kind of beast she was dealing with, felt her own cheeks flush.
But her face was filled with a triumphant, conqueror's smile.
The next moment, she paused, her playful gaze fixed on Lu Li's body, which had gone completely rigid.
"Such a pervert..." Chiori whispered.
