Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 267: Sarah's Heart. Yasenia's Decision.

Meanwhile, Yasenia and the others had been accumulating points. It had been two weeks since they arrived at this place.

Slowly but surely, their points constantly increased. They also completed all the Monoliths that gave an entry to the Treasure room. In total, there were seven trials that gave an entry spot to the treasury. Taking into account the previous two times they gained access, they took five more treasures each. They weren't impressive treasures, but enough to earn benefits.

They had also been each going their way; that way, they could complete the Monolith that gave them the highest amount of Trial Points in the shortest time.

For Yasenia, the nest extermination mission was the fastest.

For Angel, a monolith about defending a core was the fastest. Although it didn't give as many points as Yasenia's, she could always complete it flawlessly, which gave five-hundred extra Trial Points.

For Kali, it was a Monolith about healing a town. Her medical skills and knowledge allowed her to complete this trial in a short time, earning four hundred extra points because of flawless completion. To finish it flawlessly, nobody had to die, and Kali could accomplish it easily and fast.

Sarah decided to do the escorting mission. With the System's help, it was as easy as it could get.

After two weeks of constant work, they gathered a lot of points; Angel had already bought the two books from the store and recovered the communication devices. Moreover, she had extra points and was accumulating to go on a buying spree later. Yasenia, Kali, and Sarah had the same thought, so they all worked hard.

Yasenia set up a gathering point, and they met again in three hours at about noon that day.

Since they were in the same town, Kali and Angel met with Yasenia from time to time when they rested, but they were alone doing their thing the rest of the time.

Yasenia instantly glomped Kali and Angel into her embrace and showered them with kisses. Our dragoness was somewhat starving with love after being separated from all her dears so much.

Angel and Kali happily giggled as they returned the hug and let the dragoness shower them with love. They could feel Yasenia's eagerness to rub her scent on them as if she had realized that it was getting thinner.

Angel and Kali didn't realize much since they were always around Yasenia, but Yasenia's scent was always all over them. That is why they never got in any trouble with beast humans. The moment they got a whiff of Yasenia's scent that literally claimed that those women were hers, they didn't dare make any advanced on them.

So, Yasenia rubbed herself on them as she kissed them and coiled around them with her long tail until Sarah arrived.

Yasenia spotted Sarah walking from the distance, so she gave each of them one final deep kiss, leaving even their mouths filled with the dragoness's taste, and separated. The sweet floral scent and flavor were all over them, making Angel and Kali somewhat dizzy with happiness.

Sarah arrived and saw Angel's silly smile and Kali wagging her tail, 'Did they do something?'

[Host. They did not do anything sexual.]

Sarah rolled her eyes, 'I was just asking myself. No need to answer so seriously.'

Yasenia led them toward a bench, and after they sat, she asked how they were. They made some small conversation, and Yasenia finally asked the big question. "So... How many Trial Points do you girls have?"

Angel came first and said with clear excitement, "I've accumulated 276,300 Points! I have more than enough for those two formation books~."

Yasenia smiled and patted her head as she took them. "Good job, baby. You've accumulated a ton of points. Now, all we have to do is buy those books and maybe something more. What about you, honey?"

Kali said with a smile under her veil, "I have earned a similar amount to Angel, 284,600 points. I want to gather more lost alchemy recipes. I will revisit the alchemy shop and maybe visit a hospital to look at their tools. I will also have to buy the spirit plants needed for them."

Yasenia nodded, "Remember that my ring is much bigger, so if you don't have space, don't be shy to give me your things."

Kali nodded, "Of course."

Next, Yasenia looked at Sarah. "How about you, Sarah? Did you have a good haul?

Sarah was about to answer when she heard the System say.

[Host. You have accumulated the 300 000 Trial points necessary to gain that secret treasure. I recommend separating from them to gain it without problems. I also recommend not saying how many points you have, in case they discover about it.]

Sarah nodded internally. Although she felt bad for Yasenia, she said. "I have 175,800. I don't know what to buy, so I will just lap around and see if I find something interesting."

Yasenia smiled and nodded. However, her eyes weren't smiling. 'She still thinks she can lie to me. Well, we can use this chance to go each our way. There is no reason to keep a person that doesn't tell me the truth about these things.'

Yasenia thought about it and spoke, "Sarah, after buying the things we want, we are going to leave the town. So I think that this is where we have to say goodbye to each other."

Sarah froze for a second, her eyes wide. She anxiously grabbed Yasenia's arm and spoke hastily. "Why are you leaving me? Can you wait for me? W-We've been together for so long. I-I don't want to separate from you."

Yasenia looked at her and gathered her in her embrace, "I'm sorry, Sarah, but I still have things to do. I need to find my dears, and the places we are going are not as safe as this town."

Sarah hugged Yasenia back and exclaimed, looking up with anxious eyes, "I can help you! I will help you, so please don't leave me behind. I don't know what to do without you."

Yasenia lifted Sarah's chin and lowered her upper body to kiss her nose. Sarah was twenty-seven centimeters smaller than her, so she had to crouch forward to do the movement.

Sarah's face blushed like a ripe peach. Yasenia's seductive face up close and the feeling of her lips was something that made her heart beat erratically. Yasenia stayed crouched, face to face with Sarah. Yasenia's smile was tender, and her words dripped with honey. However, Sarah was unaware that the sweetness hid the real heart of the dragoness. "Sarah dear, we can't always stay together. I hope you can understand and we go each our way without bad feelings. I don't want to be on bad terms with you."

Sarah's eyes teared up.

The anxiousness, tender feelings, and haste to convince Yasenia otherwise made her pour out her real feelings. "But I want to always be with you! I don't want to be away from you for the rest of my life!"

Angel and Kali's eyebrows lifted, 'She confessed?'

Yasenia put their foreheads together. Sarah could now see up close those seductive golden slit eyes and her smile. "I'm happy to hear that, Sarah. But I won't accept more people inside my harem. My heart had been closed long ago. Even if I also liked you, even if I loved you, we can't be together."

The tears in Sarah's honey-colored eyes dripped, and her heart felt crushed. Yasenia gave her another kiss on the now runny nose. "I hope that your love for me dilutes into a good friendship that lasts for years to come. Remember that even if I can't accept you into my harem, I will always be a close friend of yours. We can even have small intimate moments, but we can't cross that last line unless something exceptional happens. I'm sorry, Sarah."

Angel and Kali have been looking at Yasenia's tail. It was swishing lazily without any extra movements. Angel took out the "How to make Yasenia wag her tail, Volume 5" and nodded.

If Yasenia were truly happy about a love confession, her tail would always wag, sometimes more and others less, but there will always be a wag. For example, when Linda confessed, her tail wagged.

Therefore, Angel could guess that her words right now were half-truths. Anyway, they would wait for Yasenia to deal with Sarah and then ask her about it.

Sarah, however, didn't have enough brain functions to perceive anything.

She was too occupied by the divine face and extremely beautiful golden-red slit eyes in front of her. Those two reptilian eyes were looking at her tenderly, and Yasenia's breath was caressing her lips.

Sarah's whole body was limp in the dragoness's embrace, her legs weak because of the wildly beating heart, and her bones soft because of the fragrant breath filling her nostrils.

The soft body surrounding hers only multiplied the uselessness of her limbs right at that moment.

However, the pain of having her confession denied made her feel as much sadness as love for the captivating dragoness.

Yasenia saw Sarah's eyes pouring tears and heard her whimpers while looking at her. Yasenia smiled and caressed her head. This made her eyes curve beautifully, hitting Sarah's heart harder. "Sarah dear, I hope we meet again soon. But until then, we will have to separate."

Sarah's voice was trembling because of the overwhelming emotions she was currently feeling. She had forgotten about the world right now. Only the gorgeous and seductive dragoness before her mattered. "Ya-Yasenia, ca-can you kiss me? Please, I really love you. Just one kiss."

Yasenia's heart didn't move, and she sent a questioning gaze to Kali and Angel as if asking, 'Do you care?'

Angel took Yasenia's tail tip and squeezed it, a signal that she did care. The main reason was that Angel took Sarah as a real competitor. She may not have cared too much about a random person, but Sarah was getting closer to Yasenia at alarming speeds. Of course, this was a misunderstanding on Angel's part since Yasenia's acting skills were almost flawless, but Yasenia failed to realize that she was making Kali and Angel nervous about it.

After getting their opinion on the matter, Yasenia moved forward. Sarah's eyes sparkled and also leaned slowly toward those oh-so-kissable red lips. When their lips were about to touch, Yasenia turned her head slightly and made her kiss just the corner of her mouth without touching her lips, and she did the same.

Sarah felt disappointment and sweetness filling her heart. Although she couldn't kiss her, what they did was very close and felt fulfilling, but it also felt as if a chasm had opened between them.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. But kisses on the lips are something too intimate. I hope you can find comfort in your heart with this."

Sarah wanted to remain strong, but the tears fell from her eyes quicker as time passed. She hadn't loved someone so much as she did right now in all her 28 years of life, but the person couldn't accept her heart.

Yasenia straightened and hugged her close again, burying her between her soft and comforting warm breasts. "Cry, Sarah. I know it is saddening, so you can cry in my bosom as much as you want. Today, I won't push you away until you relax."

Sarah buried her face between Yasenia's soft breasts and hugged her strongly. Then, she cried out loudly, grabbing attention from the surroundings.

Sarah's feelings poured like a broken dam and filled the valley of tender flesh with salty water.

Yasenia sighed as she caressed her back, 'Sorry, but I won't break my promise. What you want from me is something I can't give. Unlike my maids and Linda, I know you want more than my company. You want more than being beside me silently. You want my love, my attention, a part of my heart, and that is something I ran out of after I accepted Kali.'

Yasenia's expression became complicated as she thought, 'Moreover, I still don't understand you. You are a mystery, and your secrets can be dangerous for me and my dears. Until the day you become completely truthful of your own volition, I won't ever be able to accept you wholeheartedly. Even when you manage to do that, gaining my love is almost impossible.'
