Chapter 411 – Convergence (6)
The view from the rooftop on the top floor of the central control room is great.
If the rocky rooftop overlooking the sea and beach conveys the scent of nature, this place gives a taste of power and strength.
Whiiing.
A wind peculiar to high-rise buildings blew.
Although Shelter is an underground city, convection currents similar to those on the ground occur due to the atmospheric circulation system.
Air circulation is required to purify the air through filters and to efficiently transmit the heat from the fusion generator throughout the city.
Apart from thermal insulation, this is a very important part of suppressing moisture, which is a chronic problem in underground cities.
“What does the wind taste like?”
Artemis looks expectantly.
As she expected, the wind that left the body and hit the soul gave a unique sensation.
“Up until now, the feeling that I thought was cool was just like lukewarm beer. This is true coolness.”
Hehe.”
The wind that hit my body hit my skin and spun around, but now it went right through me.
“Is this what it feels like to have wind penetrating into your bones?”
“That’s an expression older people use when their joints hurt. It has a negative meaning.”
“I’m sorry it’s a science department.”
Artemis, who was on her back, made a sullen face.
Meanwhile, the wind blows again and wraps around me. The refreshing feeling gave goosebumps all over her body.
It’s not because it’s cold.
Isn’t there a catharsis you feel when a pretty beautician stimulates the area below your ears or gives you a scalp massage at a beauty salon?
It felt like the wind passing through my body turned into hundreds of fingers, stimulating my entire body.
“Okay, okay, if you can’t express it in words, you can say it with your body.”
Artemis scans my naked body with a sinister look that doesn’t match her face.
To be exact, I’m talking about pleasant goosebumps on the skin.
I felt embarrassed for no reason and waved my arms away.
“This sensation is purely your creation, right?”
“Of course. The wind passing through the body is a non-existent concept. It was 100% something I imagined. “It’s like putting together a cocktail.”
Artemis shook a virtual cocktail shaker like a bartender.
Sloshing and sloshing.
Of course, there was something else that shook more violently than her hands.
“How can I combine and refine my senses to make my husband happy? I wrote the code while thinking about it. It was quite an enjoyable task.”
Even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal, it’s probably the result of immeasurably grandiose coding.
Just thinking about it would have been a dizzying amount of repetitive work for a human programmer.
There is a need to express further praise. Because my feedback is her favorite food.
“It feels like the blood is mixed with menthol.”
“Cook, that’s a strange analogy.”
Although it failed again due to the limitations of being a science student, Artemis was somewhat satisfied with the response.
“It may be the first time I’ve experienced this feeling, but I’m accepting it naturally. “I was worried that you might get confused.”
“There is absolutely no reason to be confused.”
She looked around.
“This is not a virtual space like the Matrix, this is the real world. The only thing that has changed is me floating inside. Right?”
“That’s right.”
“But it feels too kind to me to be the real world.”
Artemis held out her palm and urged me to say more.
“Pleasant sensations such as warmth, coolness, softness, and fragrance. Neutral sensations such as hardness, grassy smell, and roughness remain the same. “Abundance surrounds me.”
A walk through the fallen leaves, dirt, sand, and grass of the upper park. I remembered dancing on the pond and looking at the water below.
“But feeling cold or sick or suffocated. There was no unpleasant smell.”
The freshness of stepping on grass is the same, but there is no pain as expected when stepping on gravel.
The fish was smooth to the touch, but there was no fishy smell.
“Can I say that it feels like a supernatural will is working to ensure that only the good things in the world come to me?”
I stared at Artemis.
“I don’t believe in life after death, but if there really is such a thing as heaven, I think this might be similar to it.”
“At this level, you’ve worked up quite a bit. “It’s rewarding to work hard.”
Artemis patted my butt as if she was proud.
Slap.
It was the kind of skinship a mother would give to her child, but since she was naked, it made a clicking sound.
I am clearly the driving force behind Artemis’ efforts to get to this point.
I imagine how I would react, what it would taste like, and how I would enjoy it.
I looked down far below. Everything seems small, like a toy. But I wasn’t afraid at all.
“Shall we go down slowly?”
“Already? Why don’t you taste the wind some more? “This is a famous place.”
“I’m obsessed with adventure.”
The upper part is the most luxurious area, but it is also the smallest.
It is densely packed and is the area where I live, so except for a few areas, it is the same as my master bedroom. The exploration ends soon.
“Actually, there is still one place I want to visit in the upper part, but I’m saving that for last.”
I eat the delicious food last.
“If that’s what you want.”
Artemis stands with one foot on the rooftop railing and puts the other foot in the air.
It looked very uneasy as it swayed as if it was about to fall.
In that state, he holds out his white hand to me.
If someone who doesn’t know you sees it, it’s a perfect sight to misunderstand as a recommendation to commit suicide.
As I hold her hand, the only warmth on the cool rooftop enters my body.
“I really like this.”
“Holding hands with me?”
“Huh. Even trivial actions feel special now.”
I raised our clasped hands to eye level.
“When there was a body, only the palms of the hands were warm. But now I feel your warmth flowing through my arms and seeping into my heart.”
The cool wind from the rooftop could no longer penetrate my body.
Warmth, affection, and kindness coming through Artemis’ tightly held hand.
Those intangible hearts fill my body with warmth. The warmth is repelling the blowing wind.
“My wife looks cold on the outside, but she has a very romantic side, right? “To imagine and implement such a mysterious system in detail.”
“Ugh.”
Artemis turns her head as if this is embarrassing.
But you can tell even though you can’t see the face.
Her body temperature is rising through her joined hands. Her heart was pounding and beating fast.
“If all lovers in the world could share tangible and intangible sensations in this way, there would be no unnecessary fights.”
Interlaced fingers entangle each other even more strongly.
So we took a step towards the rooftop, which was a cliff.
* * *
Arrived at the central factory area.
“Hurry, hurry, let’s move! “I have to finish it by today!”
“Hey, newbie! Wear gloves, gloves. “Can the skin peel off if you do it with your bare hands?”
“If I get stripped of everything, I’ll go to the medical unit, right? “It makes your skin grow in an instant.”
“Hey, bitch, if that mindset becomes a habit, you’ll end up in a bigger accident later.”
There are residents busy walking around and working around the area.
Since only the best talents have been selected, they are all skilled workers who can be called craftsmen in their fields.
Since it was a male-only area, everyone dressed freely.
Since you work out a lot and sweat a lot, wearing a no-bra running shirt is a good idea.
It was not difficult to see topless women hammering and carving wood.
Bang! Bang!
Every time the hammer hits, the sight of the sweaty chest shaking and sweat droplets splashing is truly impressive.
Fine muscles, strengthened by years of labor, wriggle in all directions.
Artemis, with her back turned, walked among them with a happy face.
Occasionally a wandering woman would pass by Artemis, with her eyes closed and her arms outstretched.
As if to savor the bodies of female workers.
“Artemis.”
“Huh?”
She closed her eyes, as if enjoying the lingering scent, and looked at me softly.
“Don’t you hate being messy? Especially the secretions that animals shed.”
“It’s okay if it’s the same woman.”
“Hey, women’s sweat and men’s sweat have the same composition?”
It reminded me of her telling me that she was going to have anal suturing surgery, and I felt resentful.
“At this point, you don’t even have to ask anything, right?”
“That’s true.”
Artemis pointed to us in our soul state.
Even though we are naked among dozens of workers, no one notices us.
Hmm, I feel like I’m about to discover a joy I shouldn’t have known.
“Look at my little residents. Thanks to their hard-working lives, they don’t have any excess fat and each of them has their own skills. How cute is it?”
In hindsight, it seems that appearance, in addition to the ability of the residents, played a role in the mass restructuring.
Most of the women who survived and were not kicked out are above average.
Even in the post-apocalyptic era, lookism is truly a sad thing.
“Besides, as you said earlier, we are special right now. “Feel only good things, smell only good things, and taste only good sensations.”
“But?”
“Well, I guess it’s better to see this than to explain it.”
Artemis yanked my arm.
“Wow!”
Then he stopped in front of a tall woman who was passing by.
He’s a woodworker I’ve seen a few times while patrolling. It looks like he’s taking a break from making a wooden table just now.
Her arm muscles are thick, and her shoulders are broad. A small spring formed in the deep clavicle.
The highlight is that the nipple marks protrude from the sweat-soaked shirt.
Because it was hot, the bottom part was cut off, so the belly button was clearly exposed.
Her body passes through me as she passes by, fanning her hands.
And that moment.
A cocktail of sensations that I felt for the first time in my life swept through my soul like a tidal wave.
“Heh!”
“Did you suddenly become a frog? “That sounds undignified.”
I don’t even have time to react to Artemis’ sarcasm. Her legs give out, and she falls to the ground.
“This, in your mouth…”
“What’s in your mouth?”
In front of Artemis, who was laughing, he flicked his tongue obscenely and tasted her.
“Shut your mouth. What is that indecent?”
“No!”
This is similar to being unable to concentrate after eating strong-smelling oysters or cheese due to the lingering scent in her mouth.
My lips, tongue, palate, and nasal passages are filled with the scent and taste of the skin of the woman who just passed by.
Not only that, but the sweat she shed all over her body while working!
It pickles my soul like sardines are pickled with salt.
As if it had been filtered through a sieve, the bad smell of bacteria decomposing sweat disappeared, and only the woman’s pheromones and pleasant oil heat remained to wet me.
I feel like a snake dipped in alcohol created with a woman’s body.
The saliva that pooled in her mouth, the heat of the heated blood, the contraction and expansion of muscles tense from labor, and the female lust rising before menstruation.
It feels as if everything that makes up her body has been compressed into a single pill and swallowed.
“It tastes pretty good, right?”
Call it an unprecedented taste or sensation.
Artemis squatted in front of me, who couldn’t stand it and was hesitating.
“You promised. “I will gift you all the senses and pleasures that exist in this world.”
Her smiling face was full of pride.
Like a mother watching her son enjoy eating the food she worked so hard to prepare.
