Chapter Title: 14. This Feels Too Much Like Lovers' Sex (3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"...You haven't even kissed Neria yet?"
The whispering and scolding from Neria had died down.
After a few seconds of silence stretched between us, it was Erzel here who broke it with her observation.
Well, yeah, from Erzel's perspective, it probably looked pretty clueless.
After all, Neria had already gone all the way to sex and creampies, yet she was meowing and bristling over something as simple as a kiss.
Bluntly put, in the eyes of Erzel, who'd tasted countless men, how must her apprentice here appear?
I glanced at Neria, who was already averting her gaze in embarrassment, and answered.
"Yes. Neria said she was shy, so for now, I'm just helping her with pure 'mana recharges'."
"For real? So you haven't done anything with Neria besides sex? Like, say, fellatio...?"
As she said that, Erzel flicked out her tongue just a bit, and Neria, standing right beside me, jumped in defensively.
"I-I have done it! At least that much...!"
"...It was just an imitation at best. But as Neria said, I did try it."
"Hey, what do you mean imitation! I licked it with my tongue myself and even sucked it with my mouth!"
"It didn't really feel full-on, did it?"
"Ugh... It's true I only did it for a little bit, but anyway, the moment I licked you, you got rock hard...!"
"That was..."
Anyway, you only gave it a brief oral tease without swallowing any semen, so that's why I called it an imitation.
Maybe because even that took a ton of courage for Neria, she didn't like brushing it off as just pretend.
"We haven't kissed, but I've done fellatio."
"So my apprentice kissed your dick before your lips?"
"...What."
"She has a bolder side than I thought~ Hmm..."
And with that, Erzel whispered an uncomfortable truth to Neria.
Right now, she seemed less like a witch and more like a demon—hell, I'd half-believe she was one.
A succubus among demons? Yeah, that tracks.
"By the way, Dowon, what did you mean by 'not full-on'?"
At the same time, the succubus's water-blue eyes turned to me.
...Neria's gaze struck like lightning from right beside me, but in this space, Erzel was the boss.
I pretended not to notice and answered.
"I just meant it was only teasing and done. ...Witches use semen for mana recharges, so it's only natural."
"Right? Even if it's a bit thick, gulping it down feels like a waste sometimes."
"......"
"Of course, if that act squeezes out two or three more loads, it's not a waste at all."
Who was she showing that slow tongue-lick across her lips for, and what did it mean?
I ignored it with a faint smile, and Erzel stretched on the sofa before standing.
She glanced at her smartphone, probably getting ready to head out.
"Next time, close your eyes tight and swallow it. Boys get super turned on by that."
"S-Swallow what? I don't wanna...! It's slimy and sticky... How could I..."
"Ah, before swallowing, gather it on your tongue and show it off. After, open wide again like 'I swallowed it all' to prove it..."
"Eek..."
"Try it when the mana recharge is almost done. It's called cleanup fellatio, and couples kinda..."
Erzel demonstrated lightly by opening her mouth, while Neria flushed and sputtered incoherently.
Our eyes met for a split second as she glanced at me, but Erzel smoothly cut in.
"Anyway, Neria wants to take it slow and build up, so I'll keep that in mind. If she's lying, tell me, Dowon. I'll scold her properly."
"...Got it."
"Just once today, right? Neria?"
"......Yeah. Just today..."
"Then... ah."
Meaning from tomorrow, we'd have no choice but multiple mana recharges.
Neria mumbled her agreement in a crawling voice, and Erzel, looking somewhat satisfied, came over and whispered to me.
"Eat well, Dowon."
"......"
"......"
The house was dead quiet, so it carried.
Neria was closer than expected.
And Erzel made no effort to hush herself.
Not exactly a secret, then.
"E-Eat well what..."
"Oh, time's up already... I should head out. Good luck with the rest. Thanks for always looking after my apprentice!"
But the fallout would hit me full force, so Erzel flashed a playful smile and fled to the door.
Even before she left, Neria's fist aimed for my shoulder, but the front door just clicked shut cheerfully.
After a storm sweeps through, the area is littered with debris and trash.
Collapsed buildings, snapped trees, wrecked cars, mud, severed wires...
More poetically, pain and loss linger.
The same goes for the storm wrought by the 'Water Witch'.
"How'd you end up coming with my master? ...And weren't you two way too close?"
She could handle wind magic too, turning herself into the storm, and now my head throbbed like hell.
...After only studying magic till now and lately just grinding games, where does this power come from?
"Ran into her on the way to work. She was squatting by the road, watching an earthworm."
"Earthworm...? Yeah, it was kinda rainy outside..."
"Yes. Not sure if it was magic or just weather."
"...Makes sense, she's my master. She might've sprinkled mana around to check for monsters while she was here. Or pure coincidence."
"You can use it like that too, huh."
"......"
I rubbed my just-punched shoulder with my palm, and Neria's gaze flicked over—previously sulky, now a bit sorry.
It looked sturdy, so she punched freely, but now guilt crept in.
...If she's that sorry, like Erzel said, a cleanup fellatio after would be nice.
But voicing that now would invite another fist.
I poked at the question she'd just tossed.
"As for distance, I'm not sure. Erzel's just so outgoing, maybe that's why it felt that way?"
"Master's personality, well... I know it too..."
As her favorite disciple, Neria knew her better than I, who'd only seen her a month-ish.
Still, something nagged her; arms crossed under her chest, she asked.
"...Y-You didn't, right?"
"Do what?"
"Sex with mas—... Nah, forget it. You said no last time."
"I didn't. You'd hate it, obviously."
"......Because I'd hate it... Hmm..."
"......"
"Fine. I believe you. If it was like that, Master wouldn't let it end here..."
She sighed loudly, as if questioning further, her gaze naturally dropping to the floor before snapping up to lock on mine.
"Last time, you said you wanted to kiss me, right?"
Topic from earlier with Erzel too.
"Yes. That's right."
"I'll allow it, but I have one condition. Any complaints?"
"...Can I hear the condition first?"
"Tch, cheeky for a human... But if you snitch to Master, I'm in trouble. Fine."
Tok. Tok. Tok.
Neria, tapping her foot, puffed her chest and declared.
"I want to experience a real orgasm."
Practicing in the mirror alone or something?
Not her usual shy self—bold posture.
"...Not the little ones, I hope. Then, the one you mentioned last time..."
"Yeah. That. Where girls' hips buck and they just... go."
"......"
"M-Might as well make it feel good, right? The thrill talk last time was the same vein."
I agreed there.
Better to crave it daily out of desire than force it dutifully.
Once Neria begs for sex, I'd call my 'Apprentice Witch Rehabilitation Support Department' duty done.
But satisfying her curiosity now hit a snag—like last time.
I scratched my nape.
"Remember what I said yesterday? ...Be honest with each other, and you'll climax easy."
The snag: lack of honesty.
She'd just reached 'Sex feels pretty good!' lately—far to go after.
So I'd have to guess her likes from reactions.
Possible with time, but wasteful.
"Am I not honest enough?"
"...Not at all."
"Huh? I'm admitting when it feels good!"
"No idea why you think that, but last time, you lied a ton."
"Me? Lied?"
"When I pressed the tip deep inside and asked if you liked it, you said no."
"......"
"Did you really hate it?"
"...O-Okay, a white lie. I'll watch it. Happy?"
"...To be honest, 'I'll watch it' doesn't reassure me much."
"What the...?"
She'd lie from shyness during sex again, obvious.
Might improve someday, but not overnight with her personality.
So I pondered long before her grumbling 'You dare doubt a witch?'.
"How about this?"
Good idea hit.
"I'll do whatever today, and you just flag what you hate."
"...What I hate?"
"Yeah. Easier to point out dislikes than admit likes—less embarrassing."
"......Hmm."
"......"
"...Fine. We'll try that much..."
