“But Cha Cha, you said mating was disgusting.”
“Evan, you remembered!”
Cha Cha immediately pressed against my side, declaring that I truly loved him. Of course I did. Why else would I have gone to the trouble of arranging this practical lesson?
“So I prepared a human-form version, thinking it might be less revolting that way.”
“Huh?”
“Gerth, I’m counting on you.”
“Understood. Let’s begin.”
We sprang away from Cha Cha and repositioned ourselves in the center of the bed. I stripped off my top without hesitation and initiated a kiss, the sound of silk tearing echoing through the chamber.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Cha Cha. Be quiet.”
“Underworld King, you’re ruining the mood.”
“Stop it! What are you doing?! I’m standing right here with my eyes wide open! And you’re k-k-k—!”
“Kissing.”
“Why are you kissing?!”
“Foreplay is essential to mating.”
“Evan, please stop talking!”
I wondered why, but since Cha Cha had asked me not to speak, I held my tongue. Instead, to accelerate matters, I pushed Gerth down, but Cha Cha made that silk-tearing sound again and suddenly lifted me into the air.
“I’ll do it! I’ll tolerate the disgusting part! Just don’t practice!”
“Surprisingly strong.”
“That’s because gravity is weak here!”
True enough. The Underworld had crushing gravity. Since Cha Cha could perform moonwalks and moon jumps on the Surface World, lifting someone like me would be effortless.
“So the problem is resolved?”
“It appears so. Confronting it directly was the right call.”
Had I not taken action to address the issue, we wouldn’t have reached this conclusion. I felt a quiet pride in my own initiative and gently stroked Cha Cha’s helmet.
“Then we’ll continue.”
“Continue with what?! No! You invited me today, Evan, so you’re supposed to play with me!”
“That’s sophistry.”
“It’s not sophistry, you idiot! Idiot lizard sibling!”
Even Gerth seemed to waver at Cha Cha’s relentless tantrum. I gave Cha Cha’s helmet a firm tap and decided to hold him accountable for the trouble he’d caused me.
“The ceremony requires preparation. You’ll need to research several things as well, so let’s schedule this for another time.”
“What preparation? Aren’t you and the lizard supposed to do it right now?”
“We’re experienced, so we’re fine.”
“If you’re upset, become an expert.”
“Tch…”
Competitive spirit ignites him like a spark. I should have used this tactic from the start. With his motivation now kindled, I’d have to continue with Gerth.
I drove Cha Cha from the room, instructing him to go study at the Academy Library, and then thoroughly enjoyed the night. Once Gerth and I started, the baseline was always two days, so by Monday morning when I had to attend class, my legs were trembling beneath me. Reina laughed at the sight of it.
“What’s wrong, old Evan? Why do you look so weak?”
After I finished acting like a doddering old fool and Reina kept pestering me about what had happened, I calmly answered that I’d spent a wonderful night with Gerth. The tall woman buried her face in the desk and wept bitterly.

“Evan…! I’ve been waiting for you!”
“I’ve been waiting too!”
Time passed, and the day of the final showdown arrived. Or rather, since the sun had set, I suppose it’s more accurate to say darkness fell. With Gerth and Seian’s consent, I visited the Underworld and stepped into the elaborately decorated Ancient King’s Underground Tomb. My heart raced with anticipation. Finally, I was going to do this with Cha Cha!
“I-I mean, I’ve, done, quite a lot of, r-research!”
“Really!”
Ah, how adorable, so wonderful, he’d done research!
I grinned widely and climbed onto the bed to wait for Cha Cha’s presentation of results. Cha Cha slowly removed his white coat with deliberate teasing, then fumbled with his shirt buttons.
“Ugh…!”
“…”
“Ugh!”
“…”
After undoing two buttons, Cha Cha fastened one back, gathered his courage to undo two more, then buttoned everything back up again.
I wanted to rip it all to shreds.
“Wait! Just wait a moment, Evan! I really did prepare! I want to show you with my own hands!”
“Huff, hah, huff.”
I was in a dangerously feral state right now. What should I do? I wanted to be patient with Cha Cha, but I worried I might lose control and pounce on him.
“It’s, you see, it’s, I, ah, I found out that…”
Cha Cha slowly removed his shirt and undid his pants button, revealing a glimpse below. The coverage was minimal. The fabric was sleek and glossy. It appeared to be a cute yet daring design that didn’t disrupt the mood.
“When doing this, wearing pretty underwear is, supposedly, nice…”
“Absolutely right!”
Sorry, honestly I just threw something on! But it’s at least a matching set! I think I did my best!
I grabbed Cha Cha’s hand and pulled him onto the bed. He tumbled into my arms with a yelp. I covered his entire face with kisses starting from the crown of his head, and he tried to push me away, saying it tickled.
“Wait, the lights—the book said it’s better to turn them off too.”
“I don’t want to.”
I answered curtly and continued with my kisses. Cha Cha’s face, which kept saying it tickled, had already flushed a deep red.
“Ah, wait, something strange, feeling…”
I found myself biting my lower lip hard. To somehow release my violent affection for his cuteness, I clenched my fists and pressed firmly into the bed. Calm down. Slowly. I absolutely had to go slowly. If I rushed, he’d run away again.
“Really, can’t we turn off the lights? I’m embarrassed…”
Absolutely not. I buried my face in Cha Cha’s chest and shook my head vigorously. My hair tickled him, and he laughed brightly again.
“Hmm, it might not be as scary as I thought…”
“Is that so?”
Then I should escalate things. I’d been touching him plenty so far—now I should give Cha Cha time to explore me. I took his hand and placed it firmly on my body. Cha Cha’s hand trembled a few times before going rigid.
“Ugh! If I do this, E-Evan, you might find it unpleasant…!”
“Not unpleasant at all.”
“Ugh…!”
Unable to push me away or remove his hand, Cha Cha let out a sound like he was in sweet agony. His face was crimson. So cute! Damn it, my violent affection is rising again!
“Huh?!”
Instead of tearing into the bedding, I pushed my tongue into Cha Cha’s mouth. Startled, he pounded my back frantically. Damn it! Such violence!
“Mmph! Ugh!”
Cha Cha thrashed about with tears glistening in his eyes, but as time passed, he gradually grew docile, his breathing becoming nothing but ragged gasps.
“Hah, hah, cough.”
I ended the kiss with a soft sound and carelessly stripped off my clothes, ready to enter the real game. Cha Cha, his breath stolen away, finally regained his senses after taking a deep breath, his eyes darting nervously under my aggressive momentum.
“Wait, Evan, I need to, the Egg, I need to put the Egg away first. We can’t do this in front of our child!”
“I don’t mind.”
Besides, I’d already been rejected by Gerth when I tried this in the Adjacent Room next to Hubert. I don’t care if the Egg—my future child—watches. This kind of education is something parents should properly teach their children when they’re young. It’s wholesome behavior.
“You pervert! How could you do this in front of a child!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Mmph!”
I sealed Cha Cha’s lips with mine once more and proceeded methodically, step by step. Each time I advanced, Cha Cha gasped in shock, but fortunately, he didn’t push me away, insisting he didn’t want this.
“Hah, ugh, ah, ah.”
Or rather… it seemed he couldn’t say he didn’t want it. Cha Cha, who had been muttering about being scared, ended up sobbing outright.
“Evan, something’s wrong with me, really wrong, ah, hah, hiccup!”
Oh, what’s wrong? I asked, biting his neck firmly, and Cha Cha trembled at his waist, his nails digging in.
“Hah, really, really something’s wrong, ah, I’m sorry, sorry, wait, don’t move, please don’t move.”
No. When I whispered against his ear, his moans grew louder.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, hah! Ah!”
Cha Cha whimpered and fussed while crying, his lips trembling as his ears turned crimson. I wondered what was so embarrassing, and in a voice barely above a whisper, Cha Cha said he needed to use the bathroom.
“Heh, haha!”
What should I do? I really don’t know what to do with this surging violent impulse.
Cha Cha suddenly widened his eyes in shock and burst into tears again.
“Ugh, I told you, I told you to stop, hic, hiccup.”
I gently soothed Cha Cha and pressed my lips to his forehead, beaded with sweat.
