Villain Retirement

Chapter 578: Riley's Delicious Seed

Aerith's hair—it sometimes looked brown, but in certain lights, it was gold. But now, being wrapped in the winter air with the fractals of snow landing on it, it just glittered like golden silk. Riley would have been mesmerized by this in any other given situation, but now…

…right now was probably the first time that Riley felt a little awkward.

"...Aerith?" Riley could really only blink as he looked at Aerith from the floor. As for Aerith, she wasn't looking at her face, but rather at his… hard thing that was resting in between Osk's… round and plump lower cheeks.

"..."

"..."

"Good morning, Aerith," and so, the only thing Riley could really do was wave his hand.

"Wh—Get up!" Aerith then quickly looked away as she grabbed Riley's arm. Before she could pull Riley away, however, Osk tightened her thighs and locked Riley even tighter as she grabbed Aerith's wrist.

"I said you can wait for your turn, Princess."

"I am not here for that!"

Aerith quickly pulled her hand away as she stepped back, "Riley is mine!"

"..." Osk looked back and forth between Riley and Aerith for a few seconds, before sighing and shaking her head; her buttocks, slowly dropping on Riley's waist and letting his thing slide between her lower cheeks,

"You should have said so from the start," Osk then said as she slightly spread her legs and leaned back. But then, a smile suddenly crawled on her face as she lifted up her butt,

"But it doesn't really matt—"

But alas, once again, before anything hard could be inserted, Aerith suddenly pushed Osk away—causing her to be thrown and slide several meters on the slightly slippery floor.

"And you, why are you just lying there with… with your thing exposed!?" Aerith then pointed at Riley as she gestured to him to stand up, "Were you really just going to let that woman get her way with you!?"

"If you were joining us, then I probably would have, Aerith."

"...You want to die?" Aerith's eye started to twitch, "Cover yourself."

"If only I could die, Aerith," Riley then let out a sigh as he sat up; his black suit, very slowly fixing itself like some sort of jelly being stuck and merged together,

"Why are you here, Aerith? I was not expecting to see you in this kind of scenario."

"Why? Would you have liked it more if I didn't come?"

"Oh, I would truly like it if you came."

"Wh—where are you learning this stuff!?"

"Your son."

"I walked right into that," Aerith could not help but cover her face as she heard Riley's words. And before she could say anything else, Osk's fist was now suddenly only an inch away from hitting her face.

Aerith, however, just instantly vanished; instantly reappearing on top of Osk with both her hands clasped together. And with a light scoff and a smirk, Aerith clobbered Osk's head without any hesitation.

The snow that had gathered back on the arena was once again blown away; this time, trembling as they did so. Osk, however, seemed to still be completely conscious as she just groaned; but before she could make another move, Aerith stepped on her head and pinned her down.

"Just because I was gone for almost half a millennium, you really thought you were already the strongest here?"

"Kah!" Osk only roared as she slammed her fists on the silver floor, "Why are you even back here!? And why now!? Couldn't you have just waited until this man had planted his seed inside me!?"

"This man isn't even a themarian."

"He's half! That is all I need to kn—"

"He's not even half themarian," Aerith rolled her eyes as she removed her foot from Osk's head, "He's a Human. A species from a planet in the Unknown."

"W…what?" Osk then gasped as she looked at Riley, "You mean… I… I almost placed the seed of an alien inside me!? An unusually attractive, abnormally strong, and completely stoic specimen of a man—On second thought…"

Osk then squinted her eyes as she licked her lips, "...I don't think it matters. The other species exist for a reason, maybe that reason is to further strengthen the themarian blood—"

"Get out!"

"...This isn't over," Osk almost snarled as she looked at Aerith; but before any fight could break between the two, Osk just gave Riley one final glance and winked at him before just disappearing from the arena.

"..."

"..."

And then, an awkward silence just suddenly drowned the arena, with only the sound of snow melting from their breaths whispering in the air. But after a hundred more fractals dropped, a heavy breath finally broke the silence between the two.

"What were you thinking going here!?" Aerith screamed as she grabbed Riley, lifting him from the floor and making him stand up, "And how are you even here!?"

"I don't know, Aerith," Riley just shrugged as he looked around the arena, "I chose a random hole to enter through, and I exited toward a random situation."

"...You came from the Subtheran? What were you doing there?"

"Murdering people, Aerith."

"Even here!?" Aerith could not help but raise her voice as she once again covered her face, "Can't you even stop for just one single moment?"

"No," Riley shook his head, "I know what I truly am now. I am the one who will turn everything into Nothing."

"Yeah, yeah," Aerith groaned as she shook her head, causing the tiny droplets of snow to fall from her hair and onto the white bodysuit she was wearing. Riley, however, was looking at her neck.

"You're not wearing a collar, Aerith."

"I am a princess, Riley," Aerith scoffed, "I do have friends in the castle, believe it or not."

"Hm. I suppose it is my turn to ask you what you are doing here?" Riley then asked as he looked around, "You seem to know the people of this tribe."

"Because I was one of them," Aerith shrugged, "And did Osk tell you this is a tribe? This is just a stupid gathering of women that want to break free from society…

…and I was a part of it," Aerith covered her face again, "The things I did in my youth."

"Did you know I was here?"

"What do you think?" Aerith rolled her eyes as she started walking away, "One of my friends that was still here recognized you from the trial, she called me. I mean, what were you thinking!?"

"I wasn't, Aerith," Riley breathed out as he followed Aerith out of the arena.

"I mean, you could have just easily escaped! Don't bullshit me, Riley. I know full well what you're capable of—your bag of tricks is enough to overwhelm any themarian."

"Well, I won't have anything to do even if I escaped, Aerith."

"I mean, seriously? Osk!?" Aerith opened her palms as she breathed out in frustration, "That woman would have eaten you alive if I didn't arrive—and then the others would have too!"

"Then while you were in this group, Aerith—did you also partake in this seed sharing tradi—"

"No!" Aerith quickly turned around to look at Riley, "No. And no one was even strong enough to defeat me, so… there's that."

"Then since I beat you once…

…do you want my seed, Aerith?"

"...What?"
