1.
Lurye's interests shift with exaggerated speed, down to the minute.
No matter what she's in the middle of, if something else pops up, she bolts toward it like a shot.
Given how she obsessively dove into the games in the arcade, it's probably less her nature and more that after being alone for so long, she's buzzing with excitement now that she has a playmate.
Just like a puppy on its first walk, darting frantically in every direction.
Anyway, since I hadn't properly sorted the loot from the present world amid all the trials and such, I sat quietly in the treasure vault next to the bedroom, tackling the rest of the cargo.
"Interior Minister..."
In the Nukelavi Kingdom—26 citizens nationwide, 29 if you count her monster familiars—what real power could an Interior Minister possibly wield? Still, this promotion was a good sign.
It meant my intimacy with Lurye was building smoothly.
"This should be enough, right?"
I planned to casually ask her at tomorrow morning's breakfast to send a message to Gehenna.
I figured now was the perfect timing.
A bit speculative, but stacking any more intimacy might backfire—Lurye could get so attached to Siwoo that she refuses to let me contact them.
At the same time, something else nagging at me...
"I also want to keep doing the trials..."
The top priority was reaching Gehenna to reassure everyone waiting.
But if I indulged a little greed, I'd love to keep pushing through the trials as much as possible.
The 'trials' prepared by the previous Nukelavi ruler for Lurye were no ordinary windfalls.
Sure, they hurt like hell, and yeah, they're scary.
But come on—where else can you fight life-or-death battles without any real risk of dying?
If I got in touch and headed straight back to Gehenna, I'd miss out on that.
Not to mention, we're in the present world, and finding the Cradle of Dreams at the bottom of some ultra-remote sea would absolutely require Lurye's help.
The catch? She's reluctant to even surface, so no way she'd help out unconditionally.
So the safest middle ground was to make contact and ease their worries, then stick around Akula a bit longer to keep up the trials...
I could decide after hearing Lurye's take on it.
"Eh, I'll think about it later."
I dragged out a box from the corner.
It was one I'd just piled up, since Lurye had dragged me off for trials.
Items shipped straight from the present world to Gehenna came in ultra-secure packaging.
With so many high-end goods, it was all about preventing even the slightest damage.
This box was wrapped tight in plastic wrap, then taped over for good measure.
Magic was tricky inside the vault, so I basically pried it open with a knife and hammer.
"Hm?"
Tucked between cushions in perfect waterproof packaging was a black document bag.
But judging by the width and material, it was closer to a tool case than a regular briefcase.
"What's this?"

The moment I unlocked it, toys stared back at me.
More precisely, adult toys.
"Whoa..."
At a glance: five vibrators in various shapes, sizes, and gimmicks.
Plus eight wireless rotors sorted by size, a Womanizer—the so-called climax express ticket—leather cuffs and restraint belts, an SM whip and paddle, a chastity belt, and an electric massager with swappable heads.
Thirteen types in total, packaged neatly with spare batteries inside the bag.
I'd seen my share of adult toys in porn, but this collection was next-level maniacal.
No clue which witch ordered it, but she must've been planning one hell of a wild time.
As a guy with a normal sex drive, these sparked curiosity—but given the situation, it plunged me into deep agony.
'Where the hell do I even hide this stuff?' That level of agony.
Call it overthinking, but I was worried about Lurye's reaction to stumbling on these thrilling adult playthings.
On the mild end: sweating bullets, dodging her innocent "What's this for?"
On the wild end: her declaring, "Let me try it out! Interior Minister! Assist me!"
Of course, Lurye was gorgeous.
All witches were, in their own ways, but she had a unique charm unlike any I'd met.
And hey, copying her 23rd Hierarchy magic? I'd get even stronger. Couldn't deny the temptation entirely.
But I already had plenty of lovers to be accountable for.
With everyone worrying about me, casually banging now would just stab my conscience harder.
"...Gotta stash it away for now."
She wouldn't inspect every item one by one.
Tuck it among some old junk, and someday I'd dig it out for good use.
I shoved it deep in a corner and headed to the bedroom.
No Lurye on the massive bed. She was probably still lost in movie marathon mode.
Time to clock out.
For reference, among the crew quarters, I'd scored a decent one: two to a room, with bunk beds.
Down in the crew quarters, I gave myself a quick rinse and flopped onto the bed.
I closed my eyes and slowly replayed the trial sequence.
Siwoo didn't operate under a strict Hierarchy system.
But based on fights with various witches, I'd pegged the Black Knight around the 21st Hierarchy.
Bianca the Witch of Desire was 22nd, and the Black Knight had barely taken her down despite her restrictions—not a wild guess.
If I could surpass that Black Knight, I could help my master... and handle looming issues more proactively...
"Ugh, so sleepy."
The bed wasn't exactly comfy, so I hadn't dozed off yet, but damn, today must've worn me out.
This hard mattress actually felt plush.
Nothing wrong with tackling it calmly tomorrow.
I was out in minutes.
2.
Sweet, honey-like deep sleep.
But suddenly, breathing got stuffy, chest felt crushed—like sleep paralysis—and my eyes snapped open.
Spirit sleep paralysis? I must've been that exhausted.
Rubbing my eyes lazily to sit up, I felt someone pinning my body.
"Hum hum... Awake?"
Lurye's voice hit like cold water, jolting my mind fully alert.
Siwoo's eyes flew wide.
Superior spirit body adapted instantly to the dim cabin light.
In that split second, three things registered.
Lurye in a loose gown, up on the bed, hunkered between Siwoo's legs.
His pants and underwear yanked off.
And Lurye, greeting him oh-so-casually... with her lips wrapped tight around his rock-hard cock.
"...This isn't a dream, right?"
"Hum, hum. 'Tis not."
As if in reply, a beat late: a dull surge of pleasure, her moist, warm tongue swirling.
The electric tingle up my tailbone screamed reality.
So right now...
Lurye snuck in at night for a blowjob... and I woke up mid-act?
Lurye, slurping the glans like a straw, finally raised her torso.
From her cute lips: a cheery pop! as it sprang free, twitching wildly.
"Hoo hum..."
She wiped the stray drool with her sleeve, crossed her arms, and declared proudly.
"Natural ye'd think it a dream. For none other than I, the eternal sovereign of the Nukelavi Kingdom, bestow such a reward. Hasten thy thanks—or tears of gratitude suffice."
Lurye, chin high and smug—after sneaking in to suck dick, no less.
Not quite processing emotions yet; I was just dumbfounded, words failing.
Thoughts creaked like rusty gears.
I gawked for a bit before managing to speak.
Hell, I still couldn't tell dream from reality.
"Why the hell are you doing this?"
Yeah.
That was the question.
The scene had some deja vu.
Reminded me of the reckless, curiosity-driven twins demanding 'sex ed' from Siwoo, fueled by their trademark action.
But back then, there was at least some context—like a chick's tear worth.
Now? What context?
No sexual vibes with Lurye, let alone anything flirty between man and woman.
No signs of her showing the slightest curiosity about sex, period.
Just... woke up from normal sleep to Lurye going down on me. Lightning from a clear sky.
"The Interior Minister heard my woes attentively. Thus, I grant thee a gift in return. Attach no strange meanings."
"......"
What queen personally sucks off her sleeping aide's dick as a 'gift'?
Nah, reality's wilder than movies—history's got a couple examples East or West...
Still, zero buy-in; utter confusion. Then Lurye piled on the explanation.
"Among the loot was porn. Wise I selected a fitting gift via thorough analysis. And ye seem pleased—fortunate indeed."
Lurye tapped Siwoo's sky-high erection.
"Without thee, I'd have repeated strategic retreats in the trials."
"......"
"A virtuous ruler repays gold with tenfold. Having received such great wisdom, must I not return the favor?"
"......"
Bullshit.
Pure fancy talk.
I clocked it instantly—not some cold-reading prowess.
Her eyes never once met mine the whole spiel; weird, shifty movements.
"You were just curious, weren't you?"
"Insolent!"
Lurye bristled like I'd stabbed a sore spot.
How to even unpack this, start to finish...
Siwoo's head was already pounding.
