My Idle System-Chapter 237: Compensation

'That's it?' Christian blinked at Eva's doubtful tone and thought.

He took a moment to go through everything that had happened, trying to sort it all out, before he shook his head and said, "With your special condition, it seems… even elevating your physical strength through this method won't work."

Christian was disappointed that he still hadn't found a way to help Eva.

He had hoped that at the very least, he would be able to help her expand her lifespan, and elevate her physical strength through this approach.

But it turned out that, with his current abilities, even this method wouldn't be enough.

'…Wait, physical strength?' Christian paused in his thoughts.

His sister always trained more than Eva. So how was it that Eva's physical strength, or rather, her constitution, was now higher?

Was it always like that?

… That wasn't the case either.

Originally, Eva was fit, to a normal extent, but nothing special. She was still weaker than his sister.

But after exercising steadily during these last five months, she now possessed a better physical strength.

It was still too weak compared to him. And even when she sparred with his sister, she would lose more often than she won, which made it hard for him to notice.

But how was it that she had progressed more?

'… Even in bed, hadn't she been able to hold on more and more?'

Whether all of that was something worth looking into, Christian wasn't sure. But he decided to pay much more attention to the changes in Eva's body from now on.

He would also try to look into her condition through a purely scientific approach as well.

All of that, while naturally, he would continue feeding her body essence just like earlier.

… Had he been furrowing his brows too much while thinking?

He suddenly heard Eva say, "Christian, don't make that face. You don't need to feel bad."

Naturally, Eva was disappointed too. But now that it had come to this, she decided to take things easy and not urge Christian anymore.

He was already doing his best, after all.

… But did Christian really feel bad? Just slightly. More than anything, though, he was frustrated… frustrated that he still didn't find a strong lead to solve her condition.

So, he dismissed her worries and misunderstanding with a laugh.

After that, he had a short conversation with her, before finally turning to his quiet sister at the side… already ready, already waiting for him.

And so, he took a deep breath and began.

Fortunately, he still had some essence left. And unlike with Eva, helping his sister didn't require a huge amount.

In her case, just a little essence was enough, so long as it was guided correctly.

And, as he delicately guided essence through her body with careful precision, he encountered no issues.

Everything was going smoothly, and that brought a smile to his face.

But just as he was nearly finished with the essence administration, and while fully concentrated on both the massage and the control of his essence, his sister suddenly moved her hip.

… Had he not been sitting near her lower back, everything would have been fine.

But with his current position, and with how she was still rubbing her butt against him… that became a problem.

Already too aroused by what he was seeing… be it Eva, sensually sitting at the side and watching them, or his sister beneath him, her body hot and damp with sweat, Christian, who had been doing his best not to be distracted, finally couldn't hold himself back anymore.

'Is she doing this on purpose?' he wondered, just as he hurried to finish the final touches of the essence treatment… and began feeling his sister's body instead.

His hands, which had been massaging her with professional care, were now simply exploring her softness.

And feeling this shift, Annabelle, her face already flushed, became even more unrestrained in her movements.

She felt her brother's hands slipping beneath her sport bra, and the hard, heated length pressing against her through their clothes, and couldn't help but want more.

But just as she moved her hands.

Eva, sitting before her, calmly said, "It seems like you forgot I'm still here. But how about you finish what you were doing after telling us the results of the real massage?"

Annabelle froze, clearly embarrassed, and stopped what she was doing.

Christian, realizing now truly wasn't the time, also got up and took a few steps back.

He breathed slowly, in and out, trying to calm himself, before turning to look at his sister.

He already knew her physical strength had risen slightly. But he still wanted to hear it from her mouth.

And so, with two pairs of eyes watching her intently, Annabelle, now sitting upright, focused on her body, trying to sense the changes.

She clenched her fist, then opened her hand again, repeating the motion a few times.

Finally, she smiled and said, "I got stronger."

Eva raised an eyebrow, not quite satisfied with those simple words, and asked further, "By how much?"

Annabelle's grin deepened. She took a moment to think, then said with a cocky tilt of her head, "Let's just say… I'm not losing to you in a spar ever again."

Her tone, filled with confidence and certainty, was praiseworthy, but Eva just chuckled at her statement… and at how true it might actually be.

Still, she felt no need to argue with her right now.

Defeating her in a spar later would be enough.

And even if she couldn't overpower her physically, that didn't mean she couldn't verbally.

Anyway, that was for later. Now, with everything finished, and as she listened to the conversation between the two siblings in front of her… Christian congratulating his sister, Annabelle thanking him, and the words that followed, Eva wore a thoughtful look for a moment, before deciding to demand compensation.

Compensation for the earlier emotional damage!

And so, she walked toward Christian, wrapped an arm around his neck, and then stole his lips… and ended up stealing his attention too.
