DxD: My Main Skill is Winning Hearts

"You're kidding, right?" I asked Aqua, after all what she was proposing was a bit absurd considering I only had 3 Hearts.

Aqua tilted her head slightly to the side and took a few steps towards me with her hands behind her back.

"Do you think I'm joking?" She stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell her soft, refreshing perfume, something like running water from a stream. "Maybe you need a helping hand... or maybe two."

She winked, and I felt my heart racing again, although in a different way from that time in the room with Darkness.

I let out a short laugh, looking around, as if someone would suddenly appear and interrupt that unusual exchange. But the kitchen was empty. Kazuma and the others had disappeared, and there was no sign of life apart from the two of us. It was as if the whole space had fallen silent, except for Aqua's breathing and the water still running down the sink.

"So, what do you say, Leonard?" She crossed her arms, arching an eyebrow as she watched me with a smile that seemed to carry a promise. "Are you going to accept my help or are you going to stand there soaking wet?"

For a moment, I considered refusing. Perhaps the situation was going too far. But at the same time, the opportunity was there, and who am I to deny a pretty girl help, even if it was Aqua?

"Okay, okay... But if you start using that against me later, I'll make sure Kazuma knows about it."

Aqua let out a light laugh and walked past me, heading towards the laundry room.

When we reached the laundry room, the door creaked slightly as Aqua opened it. Inside, everything was in its place. There was a small pile of folded clothes in a basket next to the door and old laundry tools, such as basins and so on.

Aqua made a casual gesture with his hand, beckoning me closer, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me.

"So, let's solve this little problem, shall we?" Aqua said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

I looked at her a little suspiciously as she approached again. She stopped a few centimeters away from me and her fingers brushed lightly against the wet fabric of my shirt.

"You really got wet, huh?" She smiled.

"You think? I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed out the obvious," I replied in a sarcastic voice.

"Okay, no kidding, Leonard. I'll help you get it off."

She started unbuttoning my shirt, and I felt my face start to heat up, a mixture of embarrassment and something I didn't want to admit so easily. It was hard to stay focused when Aqua was just a few centimeters away as her delicate fingers worked with surprising precision. I didn't know if she was having fun at my expense or if she really wanted something more intimate with me.

"You're very quiet..." she commented as she opened the last button of my shirt, letting it hang open.

"It's hard to think of anything when the situation is like this."

She pulled the shirt off my shoulders with a slow, almost rehearsed movement. For an instant, our gazes met, and the mischievous smile on her face disappeared, replaced by something more... gentle. It was as if, for a second, the joke had become serious.

She threw back her shirt and then squatted down in front of me.

"Now the bottom." She said and began to undo my belt. "No need to worry, Leonard. I'm a goddess, remember? I don't have those... what do you humans call them anyway? Oh, yes, those nasties, like your 'libido'. libido'. I'm pure. I don't have that kind of carnal desire. I'm just helping a companion."

"Oh yeah? So you don't care about any of this? Let me warn you, Aqua, if you carry on with this, I guarantee you'll end up being... corrupted."

She let out a light laugh, as if at the silliest joke she'd ever heard.

"Corrupted? Please, Leonard. What do you think you can do that I haven't already seen or overcome before?"

She tugged on my belt again and I felt the weight of the leather sliding off the buckle.

"I'm telling you... If you keep going, this isn't going to end in a way you don't expect."

Obviously, Aqua knew what I was talking about and still tried to play innocent and unconcerned. Aqua stopped, raised her head and looked directly at me.

"Are you afraid, Leonard? That's it, isn't it? You're afraid of a goddess."

I snorted. "It's not about fear..."

"Oh! You're worried about me? How cute!" She leaned forward a little, bringing her face close to my abdomen, and then, without warning, pulled my pants down with a single swift movement, which brought my underwear down as well.

At that moment, Aqua, who had been so confident before, froze. Her eyes went wide, her mouth ajar, as if she was about to say something, but unable to form the words. She looked down, then up, back at my face, and repeated the movement a few times, as if processing what she had just seen.

"Eh?" was all she managed to mutter as a smile of encouragement and amazement appeared on her face.
