Transmigration: Step Into The World of Books And Become The Strongest!-Chapter 47: The Deepest Wish Finally Come True

"Aron, did you know that nothing in this world is truly free?" Vanessa asked with a playful smile. "I choose to believe you. Even if your words turn out to be a lie, I’ll still believe them. But... what can you offer me in return?"

Arthur was momentarily taken aback, then let out a quiet chuckle. He leaned back, resting his arm on the sofa’s armrest and crossing his legs.

"Of course I know," he replied calmly. "That said, I’ll give you one chance to ask for anything. As long as it’s reasonable, I’ll try to make it happen."

What Vanessa said was an undeniable truth in this world—no, even in other worlds, that principle holds firm.

Whether it’s your parents, your children, your siblings, or even the ones you love most, everyone expects something in return for what they give.

Sure, the desired return may differ from person to person. Sometimes, what they want might not even match the value of what they’ve offered.

Yet in the end, none of that matters. What truly defines every exchange is a single, unyielding truth: reciprocity.

Vanessa’s smile widened as she heard his reply. Rising to her feet, she walked toward him with graceful steps.

Once she stood before him, she leaned in slightly, causing the collar of her dress to fall just enough.

Arthur’s eyes were instantly drawn to her large breasts, barely concealed by purple lingerie adorned with floral lace. His heart skipped a beat.

’Hiss! Damn, they’re huge!’ he thought to himself.

Although Vanessa’s dress was loose, her curves were still impossible to miss.

Arthur had known from the start that the woman in front of him had an exceptional figure—full breasts and hips as round as a ripe peach.

But seeing them this close made him wonder—how could they be that big?

Noticing the faint blush on his cheeks and the way his gaze was glued to her chest, Vanessa gave a satisfied nod.

’Hehehe... In the end, you’re still a man. No way you could resist my charm,’ she whispered slyly.

If it were any other man standing before her, they would’ve lost both eyes before they even got the chance to enjoy the view.

Vanessa usually wore loose-fitting clothes that kept her figure hidden. No man had ever seen her like this.

But for Aron, she had made an exception.

With a playful smile still on her lips, Vanessa reached out and lifted Arthur’s chin in a dominating gesture.

"Since you said that, don’t go regretting it later," she teased. "I have just one wish—be mine. So, what do you say? Will you accept it?"

In the past, Aron had rejected her—coldly and without hesitation. That wound had cut deeper than she ever let on.

After all, Aron had been her first love.

And to confess her feelings, she’d had to cast aside her pride and ego—both things she had carried for years. It took more courage than she thought she had.

And so, the only thing she truly wanted now... was for Aron to be hers.

Her expression appeared calm, but anyone observant would notice the flicker of hope and nervousness beneath the surface.

’Will he accept it? Or will he reject me again, like before?’ Vanessa wondered silently, fear gripping her heart.

If he said no again, it would hurt—deeply. But even then, she wouldn’t give up. Aron was her goal, and she was determined to win his heart.

But to her surprise, he looked at her with calm eyes, smiled gently, and said, "Okay. I’ll accept."

His words hit her like a bomb exploding in her mind.

"W-What did you just say?" Her eyes widened. "You... you accept it?"

She looked stunned, as if struggling to believe what she’d just heard.

"I accept your request," Arthur repeated solemnly, his fingers curling around Vanessa’s hand, which still held his chin.

*Badump!*

Vanessa’s heart pounded. Her body trembled.

How long had she waited for this moment? Six months? A year? Longer?

She wasn’t sure anymore. All she knew was that it had been far too long since he coldly rejected her confession of love.

In her dreams, she had always wished that rejection would one day turn into acceptance—but reality had never been so kind.

Every time she woke up, she would stare at the ceiling and realize... it had all just been a dream that kept haunting her.

But now, that dream had finally come true.

Her confession of love had been accepted—by this damn man!

Joy surged within her, so overwhelming that she felt as if she might faint. But she quickly composed herself, forcing a serious expression onto her face.

"Are you serious about what you said? You’re not just joking with me, are you?"

She was thrilled that Aron had accepted her feelings, but she needed to be sure—was it genuine, or just a cruel joke?

If it were sincere, she would give him everything. She’d even hand over the Maple Leaf Trading House without hesitation.

But if it turned out to be a lie... Hehehe... she wouldn’t mind one bit.

She was confident—so confident that she believed, sooner or later, she’d make him fall for her completely, until he saw no one else but her.

Arthur said nothing and stood up.

Under Vanessa’s puzzled gaze, he gently lifted her chin, and then he suddenly kissed her lips.

"Umm!"

The unexpected kiss made Vanessa freeze.

She didn’t react for a few seconds—until Arthur’s tongue slipped into her mouth, snapping her fully awake.

Without a second thought, Vanessa wrapped her arms around Arthur’s neck and tried to return the kiss.

Unfortunately, she had no experience with this sort of thing, so all she could do was surrender as Arthur took the lead.

Truthfully, Arthur wasn’t any better. Back when he was Kirigaya Yuuya in his original world, he had never even had a girlfriend.

And even now—as Arthur Vanitas or as Aron, the body he currently inhabited—neither identity had ever experienced a romantic relationship with a woman.

Which meant... this kiss was the first for all three versions of himself, from three different worlds.

Still, skill doesn’t always come from experience. Sometimes, theory is enough.

Though he had never done it before, he had seen plenty of similar scenes—whether in movies, manga, or even in real life.

So he at least knew the basics, and his movements didn’t seem clumsy.

Their kiss lingered for several minutes before they finally pulled apart.

A thin string of saliva stretched between their lips, painting a scene both intimate and provocative.

"Hah... Hah..." Vanessa panted, her face deeply flushed.

Her eyes shimmered with tears—not from sorrow, but from overwhelming emotion.

"Do you believe me now?" Arthur asked, his tone laced with teasing.

Vanessa didn’t respond. She simply leaned in and rested her face against his chest.

"Yes... I believe you."
