Chapter 30: Savoring the Pleasure[R-18]
Ryuz's attitude has changed a lot lately.
I could feel it as we continued our lessons.
“Teacher~ How do you do this?”
Ryuz would ask, subtly rubbing her breasts against my arm.
Her full breasts pressed against me, creating a pleasant sensation.
Her outfits had also gotten shorter, naturally revealing more skin.
‘Hmm, is this her way of coming on to me? No, she might just be enjoying it.’
Thanks to the effect of the Charm, Ryuz feels affection and pleasure the more she comes into contact with me.
She doesn't know it, but I could clearly see the Charm glowing faintly every time she touched me.
Even in this moment, as she touched my arm, she was surely tasting a thrilling sense of happiness.
Ryuz probably mistakes this for a feeling she developed on her own.
Mistaking a crush for love is common for girls her age.
‘Well, seeing me being friendly with her sister must be making her anxious.’
I'm glad I made a point of sparring in the garden.
The whole point of that swordsmanship training was to show Ryuz that I was with Lorein.
Ryuz is already being compared to her sister and is even jealous of her.
And now, the man who recently acknowledged her, the one she's interested in, is also on good terms with her sister?
It must be driving her crazy.
That's why she's coming on to me so blatantly.
‘A kind of possessiveness, perhaps.’
She wants me to look only at her, no matter what.
She wants me to acknowledge her more, to praise her more.
Ryuz is expressing that desire with her entire body.
Of course, it's not yet time to simply accept it all.
Like a slow drip of water, I need to string her along a bit more.
After all, when you're training a puppy, you're supposed to give it treats as slowly as possible.
“A-hem! Ryuz, you're a little too close.”
“Hm? What is?”
“Well... your chest keeps touching my arm...”
“Heeey~ Don't tell me you're bothered by your student's chest, Teacher? You pervert~”
Ryuz giggled playfully and, on the contrary, hugged my arm tightly.
She even started rubbing her soft breasts against my arm.
The look on her face said she was so delighted by the fact that I was ‘bothered’ by her that she could barely contain herself.
“Ah, Teacher, your face is turning red~ How cute.”
“Hey, I know we've gotten closer, but don't you think this joke is going a little too far?”
“Aw, come on. This is pretty normal for kids these days, you know?”
“To think the Academy has become like this without my knowledge. This teacher is saddened.”
“Aww~ You say that, but you enjoy having a young girl like me rub her chest on you, don't you? My body's killer, right?”
Instead of answering, I looked away with an embarrassed expression.
At that reaction, Ryuz's face visibly brightened.
“Oh my~ I was just joking. Don't tell me you're actually getting flustered?”
“Sigh. Ryuz, a cute girl like you needs to know how men see you. All men are wolves.”
“Ehehehe~ But you're not a wolf, Teacher. You're the hero who fought the Demon King.”
“...Anyway, don't tease your teacher too much. I can still pass this off as a joke, but...”
“Hmm, a joke? Ah...!”
I gently pushed her away as I spoke.
I patted the head of a visibly disappointed Ryuz.
“Ah, aah...♥”
From experience, I knew Ryuz loved having her head patted.
No, it was beyond just liking it; she was practically obsessed.
It seemed the combination of physical contact and praise created a much more intense pleasure for her.
Even now, she was trembling with an ecstatic look on her face, as if she were on some kind of drug.
‘She looks like she's completely out of it.’
A face like that is best appreciated after you've thrown her onto a bed.
I pushed that pleasure aside for now and removed my hand.
Only then did Ryuz let out a soft sigh and relax her body.
Just looking at her, you'd think she might have had a small orgasm.
‘Just a little more, and I should be able to take her without any problems.’
Hiding my inner thoughts, I spoke as if lamenting.
“Sigh, you sisters are just alike in this regard. Then again, your older sister is a great beauty too.”
“........What?”
For a moment, the life vanished from Ryuz's eyes.
I never thought she'd react so strongly to the topic of her sister.
This was having a better effect than I expected.
Pretending not to notice, I continued.
“Lady Lorein's training outfits are quite bold, too. Hmm, honestly, as a man, it's hard to know where to look.”
“Hmph... I see.”
Ryuz's expression turned icy as she lowered her head and stared into space.
To think she could give such a terrifying glare to an empty space.
What in the world was Ryuz seeing with those eyes?
‘It's more severe than I expected.’
Coming right after such ecstatic praise, the talk about her sister must feel even more negative.
Ryuz, who had been standing still, muttered under her breath.
“.......Thief cat.”
“Hm? What was that?”
“No! It was nothing!”
Ryuz said, beaming as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that expression, I was certain.
The sisters' relationship was now completely broken.
And the real incident occurred, surprisingly, at dinner.
The Armeina family surprisingly spends little time all together.
The mother, Priscilla, was of course busy with her duties as the Lord.
And Lorein and Ryuz were each absorbed in their own training and lives.
So, the only time the family was all together was during meals.
“Hyun-woo, thank you so much for teaching Ryuz. I'll be sure to repay you for this someday.”
“No, you don't need to worry about it.”
I shook my head at Priscilla's words during dinner.
“It was my idea to teach her in the first place. I started this purely as a magician, out of a feeling that I couldn't let a special talent like Ryuz's go to waste. I can't accept any personal reward for that.”
“But having a great magician like you teach her personally is an opportunity that money can't buy...”
“It's really fine. In fact, if you were to give me money, it would be difficult for me to stay here comfortably. The kindness of letting me stay in your mansion is more than enough.”
At my model-student answer, Priscilla looked not just impressed, but moved.
Ryuz, who had been listening to the conversation, smiled brightly and spoke up.
“That's right! I'll be sure to repay my teacher's kindness when I'm older!”
“Hehe! You two have gotten really close, haven't you?”
“Yes! He's nothing like my other professors! He's handsome, and he's a great teacher.”
Perhaps because of the subtle praise I'd given her, Ryuz seemed to be in a good mood.
Priscilla looked at the two of us with a gentle smile.
It was true that Ryuz had brightened up and gained confidence since starting my lessons.
Having someone right beside her who acknowledged her must have been a big part of it.
“You're not causing your teacher any trouble during your lessons, are you?”
“O-of course not!”
Was it because of the breast incident from earlier today? Ryuz kept glancing at me furtively.
I chuckled and answered in her stead.
“Ryuz's passion for learning is incredible, even from my perspective. It's rare to find a magician at the Magic Tower who works this hard.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, it's probably the influence of her ever-diligent sister and mother. I'm certain she'll become a great magician.”
“Ryuz has always been a child who tries her best at everything. I'm so happy to see it paying off like this.”
It was a warm meal with a loving family.
We were in the middle of this pleasant dinner when it happened.
Lorein, who had been looking at Ryuz, noticed something and spoke.
“Ryuz, what is that on the back of your hand?”
“Hm? Oh, this? It's just... a kind of fashion that's popular among magicians these days. You know, like tattoos.”
We had decided to keep the Charm a secret from her family for the time being.
The reason was that it was a magical measure, and it would be troublesome if they found out.
In the first place, Ryuz only knew it as a symbol that made it easier to use magic.
It wasn't strange, as it was common practice for magicians to hide information about their own magic.
“Sigh. Such childish things again.”
Lorein said with a sigh.
“Ryuz, as the young lady of a noble house, you should refrain from such things. And on the back of your hand, of all places. What will other people think when they see it?”
It was advice she could naturally give as an older sister, and in fact, Lorein was right.
No one would look favorably upon a young noble lady with a heart-shaped tattoo on the back of her hand.
Normally, Ryuz would have apologized and corrected it right away.
But today's Ryuz was a little different.
She stopped eating and quietly set down her fork.
“Sister.”
With a sweet smile.
As elegantly as a socialite facing down a rival.
“Stop nagging me.”
That's what she said.
In an instant, the air at the dinner table turned frigid.
“Wh... what?”
“I'm not a child anymore. I can handle that much myself.”
A stunned Lorein couldn't seem to process it, her mouth hanging open.
It was probably the first time in her life that her always-obedient younger sister had reacted this way.
Regardless of her sister's shock, Ryuz slowly rose from her seat.
“Mother, I'll be excusing myself. I still have a lot of studying to do.”
“O-oh, of course.”
Priscilla was just as bewildered by Ryuz's sudden change in attitude.
She was still staring at her daughter's cold words with a look of surprise.
‘Hmm.’
Only I slowly sipped my wine.
It was a strange sensation.
Watching this family, which had been peaceful at least on the surface, gradually begin to crack according to my script.
Seeing the ever-cool and sharp Lorein's expression colored with bewilderment.
All of it gave me a strange sense of excitement.
And the sight of them clinging to me, naked, will be even more lovely.
Anticipating that moment, I slowly savored the wine.
‘It smells especially good today.’
Dinner ended in that strange atmosphere.
A flustered Priscilla tried to change the mood, but it didn't work.
Lorein looked thoroughly shocked.
Just as I finished my meal and was about to return to my room, it happened.
“Hey, Lee Hyun-woo.”
I turned my head at the sound of someone calling my name.
Lorein was gesturing to me with a serious look on her face.
“Let's talk for a minute.”
