"Force majeure, so what's the big deal? I guess I look like such a wicked witch that you'd think I'd order you not to get hard?"
"...No, ma'am."
"Oh, come on. You totally thought I was that kind of witch, didn't you? Sigh... And after I've been so nice to you..."
I'd known for a while that Neria was a good girl at heart.
She was just a bit rough around the edges and tomboyish.
All those manga books in the prison cell? She'd stocked them just to keep me from getting bored.
And after all our conversations since then, it was clear: Neria was the kind of girl you could call a genuinely good witch without hesitation.
...But that didn't mean it was okay to think, 'Neria's nice, so she'll let anything slide.'
That kind of idiot move was the last thing anyone should do.
I'd been careful not to let it happen unconsciously, even though I knew better.
"If you knew that, then just go ahead and grope away... Ah, damn it, it's at the very back—what kind of item drop is this?"
"......"
And now, she'd given me direct permission.
Even if I fondled a witch's breasts to my heart's content and ended up getting a little hard from the sheer inevitability of it,
the chances of her chewing me out for it
had vanished.
"...Pardon the intrusion."
In the end, my role was to teach Neria the pleasures of sex as best I could.
So there was nothing wrong with lavishing her breasts with careful attention in the process.
It was all part of the job anyway.
And getting a bit erect while kneading her body? Nothing wrong with that either.
She'd have to deal with it eventually someday.
Both things were just me holding back out of concern for her feelings, but now I had her explicit permission.
Unlike before, I let a little more of my desire flow into it as I placed my hands on Neria's breasts.
"......Mm."
The moment my fingertips brushed near her nipple, an uncomfortable little breath escaped her.
It slipped from between Neria's lips.
As I slid my fingers alongside it, I could already feel the slightly protruding nub through her T-shirt.
...Amazing, really.
Yesterday, when I'd first caressed her, she'd gone completely limp out of fear of the unknown.
But now, just because she'd learned a little, she was reacting like this right from the start.
"Hey, Nam Dowon... You really grope like a total perv..."
"...Should I take that as a compliment?"
"Of course it's an insult...! How do you even twist that into praise?!"
"As in, 'perfectly suited personnel for the Apprentice Witch Rehabilitation Support Department'... Something like that?"
"...That's not even funny... You're such a perv. Total creep."
She'd told me not to distract her from the game too much, so I should avoid any rough movements.
Besides, this was a chance born purely of Neria's goodwill, so keeping my boundaries was even more important.
With that in mind, I lightly squeezed her breast and released it, then began slowly stroking the side of her nipple with my fingertips.
Letting them bump gently against the nipple as it stiffened cautiously.
...By the way, this was probably the technique I'd taught her the most yesterday.
No idea how she'd taken it, though.
"...Is this okay, Lady Neria?"
"Eh, it's passable, I guess......"
"But judging by your driving right now... it seems like it's distracting you a bit."
"...It's not, so don't worry... This round's just going well because of the others......"
"I see."
"Yeah... Everyone's driving... pretty decent... Mm."
Thanks to that, Neria's nipples had grown quite firm by now.
I lightly flicked the one bulging against her T-shirt with my fingertip.
I didn't remember everything perfectly, but this had seemed to hit her tastes especially hard yesterday.
And come to think of it, I'd been doing this right before she climaxed lightly at the end.
...So, as I toyed with her nipple, Neria twitched her shoulders just as expected.
At the same time, her kart slammed into the wall on screen with a thud, so I kept stimulating it and asked,
"...It is distracting you, isn't it?"
"...Not really."
"......"
It sure looked distracting to me.
But she said it wasn't.
So I took her at her word, outwardly at least.
"......"
"......Kh."
Unlike yesterday, when I'd just demonstrated while staying soft,
I pinched her already stiff nipple between two fingers with real force.
Truly stimulating her.
Because I trusted Neria.
"...Mm, mmm... These guys are... doing so well... Yeah......"
As I thought that, she shifted her posture slightly and leaned back into my chest.
It wasn't a big change.
Until just now, she'd been unconsciously dodging my hands by leaning forward, so it was just easier to touch her now.
In other words, she was okay with this level of stimulation.
There was still plenty of room before crossing the line I shouldn't.
So.
"...Eek, h-hey, suddenly......"
I pinched her nipples more insistently than the brief tweaks from before.
Grabbing handfuls of her luxurious breasts,
trailing my fingertips along the edges with a scratchy touch.
Pinching the twitching nipples firmly.
...Far more explicit than the 'demonstrations' from yesterday,
the kind of thing lovers might do.
I tried it while holding Neria close.
"...Ah, looks like they're pulling that strategy again. Hanging back on purpose to snag good items."
"Haa... ...Hic."
"Lady Neria."
"...Y-yeah... Honestly, it's the easiest way. This mode's all about staying in the top ranks anyway..."
"Ah, got it."
...But for a moment, I thought she was feeling it even more than yesterday.
She kept dropping her head forward, and sure enough, Neria was steering her kart straight into the wall again.
It would've wrecked the kart in real life, but luckily, it was just a game.
The blocky 0s and 1s making cute bouncing sounds against the barrier.
"And because of you... I can't focus on driving...... Ugh."
"...But you said it wasn't distracting earlier?"
"Touching my... breasts is one thing, but... ...this down here."
"......"
"...It's hard and keeps poking me... Distracting while I'm gaming..."
And with that, Neria flicked my thigh hard with the hand gripping her gamepad, like a knuckle rap.
She glanced back at me and said,
"Can't you make it go down a bit...?"
"...I'd love to if I could, but it's not something I can control at will. Especially since I'm with you, Lady Neria..."
"Yeah, yeah, my beauty's the problem... Ugh... So how should I sit to make it comfortable...?"
"...Maybe scoot a bit toward my knees?"
"Toward your knees..."
Her soft ass, pressing down on my hardened cock between thigh and slacks,
wriggled forward and away.
...Which actually stimulated it more, if anything.
But no need to tell Neria that, so I swallowed the thought.
"Hmm... This feels even more uncomfortable... Can't lean on you, and the screen's too close."
And once she'd moved far enough,
after a short whine, she shoved her body deep into my lap again.
...She probably didn't think much of it, but the result was her slight frame pressing down on my cock once more.
Sending another rush of blood to my already aroused shaft.
At this point, feeling sorry for myself seemed pointless.
"...Can't you point it somewhere else? I get that it turns into a hard rod when erect, but it doesn't have to point toward me."
"Ah... I can, sort of, but..."
"...Fine. I'll move, so adjust it quick."
"......"
Who knew it'd come to this.
I let out a short breath and hesitantly gripped my cock through my slacks.
Like this... toward the appendix, I guess?
No clue if that makes sense, but pulling it this way should do it.
I signaled to Neria that it was done, and she, watching her elimination screen, pressed her body softly against me again.
"...Now it's poking my ass from behind instead of under it?"
"...Sorry."
The problem wasn't solved.
"Weird. Yesterday it wasn't this annoying..."
"...Y-yesterday it was just a little erect. Today..."
"...Fully?"
"......Yes. It's fully erect..."
"......Hmm."
What to do. Too uncomfortable to use as a chair.
Neria's small mutter reached my ear.
...And maybe that's why my mind filled with naughty thoughts.
The best way to solve the problem was, of course, to make the erection go away.
And common sense said ejaculating a few times would do it.
Plus, up till now, I'd been subtly taking the lead,
so maybe,
just maybe,
I could use this excuse to get naughty with Neria.
"Then go jerk off in the bathroom. I don't like it, but I'll allow it."
"......, Pardon...?"
That dream shattered instantly.
Apparently, ordering me to masturbate was way easier for her than doing something lewd herself.
"What? Doesn't it go soft after you jerk off? Novels say it does once you cum."
"......Ah, yes... it does."
"Then go do it and come back. I'll wait."
"......"
"...Why the reaction? Were you planning to pounce on me because you're hard?"
"No, I absolutely wasn't thinking that..."
She even made a disgusted face, like, 'Were you gonna jump me?'
It was so very Neria, but at this rate, we'd stall out at breast fondling again.
On one hand, I should be glad it wasn't regressing...
But ultimately, my job was to guide her toward taking an interest in sex.
"...Lady Neria. Before that, if I may humbly ask your opinion on something."
"What?"
So I racked my brain as hard as I could.
To involve Neria as much as possible.
And minimize her resistance.
"...Wasn't I summoned here at the request of your master, specifically?"
"Yeah. She's always been naggy like that. Super invested in her apprentices."
"Do you think lying to someone like that—saying 'It's going fine enough' or 'But Neria says she can't do it'—will hold up forever?"
"Well, yeah, probably not."
"So why not lie, but leave clear evidence that we at least tried?"
"...Evidence?"
"Like if you could describe a man's genitals or semen in detail. Or even better, a photo of practice in progress—but you'd hate that, obviously."
"......Hmm."
"...So, with that in mind, Lady Neria."
I swallowed dryly and continued.
"Wouldn't it be better to try a little experience right now...?"
"......"
"...Ah, I mean, not sex—just touching with your hand or something..."
"Hand... ...My hand?"
"...Yes."
"......"
Her response came surprisingly quick.
"......You just wanna get lewd with me while you're at it, right?"
"......"
"Answer."
"...Yes."
"......Hmmm......"
"......Given the situation, just with your hand."
