Chapter 282: What Is It?
“Sigh.”
A deep sigh filled the silent space. Inside the first-floor restaurant of the Mounted Goat Inn, Sera sat alone at the desk, idling away the time.
Creeeeak…
At the sound of the front door’s hinges, Sera reflexively stood up and raised her voice.
“Welcome! To the Mounted Goat… Oh, Dora, it’s you?”
“Sera, long time no see.”
“Ah, yeah…”
The look of worry already on Sera’s face deepened into even more profound concern. She was fretting over the dinner for two she was supposed to have with Yoo Eon tonight, and the fact that she didn't have any suitable clothes for the occasion.
Furthermore, her anxiety stemmed from recalling their last night together—ruminating over her own incredibly embarrassing behavior.
In the midst of all that, Theodora’s sudden appearance brought another sigh right up to the tip of her throat.
“W-what brings you here? Yoo Eon isn’t at the inn right now.”
“I know. I just saw him.”
“Y-you saw him..?”
Surely, the dinner wasn't supposed to be more than just the two of them, was it? No, that couldn't be it. It had to be just the two of them. After all, hadn't they reached a tacit agreement to do ‘this and that’?
To be honest, that was exactly why she was so worried right now. It wasn't that she wanted to avoid that night; it was a night with the person she loved, after all. Even if she ended up looking a bit pathetic, it wasn't as if she wasn't looking forward to it.
“Is anyone else in the inn right now?”
“R-right now, everyone except Mom is…”
“Really? That’s a relief. Sera, shall we go to your room for a moment?”
“Uh… is it something we can’t talk about here..?”
At Sera’s words, Theodora briefly turned her head to look toward the room of Marta Otmarie, the innkeeper.
At this distance, if she whispered softly to Sera, there shouldn't be any unfortunate accidents like being overheard.
After a moment of deliberation, Theodora cautiously approached Sera, sat in the chair beside her, and whispered into her ear.
“Sera, by any chance… are you a pathetic pussy?”
* * *
“I-I’m so sorry! I was just so startled.”
“No, it’s fine. I probably would’ve done the same.”
Theodora was nursing her stinging cheek with a cold wet towel. Startled by the sudden bombshell, Sera had reflexively slapped her across the face. She was momentarily surprised by a hand that stung as much as her mother’s knuckles.
“B-but what was that all about so suddenly?!”
Sera was just as shocked. In fact, Sera was likely the more startled of the two. Knowing how she felt, Theodora approached her again and asked, this time in a slightly less blunt and shocking manner.
“I mean… when you were alone with Aven and you guys mated, how did it feel..?”
“U-uuuh?!”
Starting from her earlobes, Sera’s entire face turned as red as a carrot. No matter how unique their relationship was—sharing the same husband—wasn't this kind of question a bit much?
“Ah, uh, uuuuh….”
Why was she digging into that? To be honest, for Sera, the experience of that night was both her number one memory she never wanted to forget and her number one memory she wanted to erase.
How could she, while spending her first night with her husband, fail to endure the stimulation and just pass out first?
“It was… so good that… I guess you could say I fainted….”
“I knew it..! Did Aven ejaculate?!”
“E-ejaculate?!”
Sera carefully retraced her memories. It was something she hadn't really thought about. She had certainly reached her peak several times, but even then, Yoo Eon didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
‘Wait, don't tell me… I couldn't even make him finish?!’
Instant disqualification as a wife. She had heard that if a couple’s nights were unsatisfactory, it would inevitably lead to domestic discord. Though not as much as Iris, Sera was someone who occasionally went to the library on her days off to read erotic novels with swapped covers.
Still, Sera tried her best to deny it.
“P-probably once or twice….”
“Tch..!”
There was a strong sense of exaggeration, but that wasn't what mattered to Theodora right now. It was the situation she had feared most.
‘Am I the most pathetic pussy here?!’
Surely not. Wasn't she a strong warrior who had tempered her body through grueling training since childhood? Of course, most of that was due to the power of her high-quality Beastkin bloodline, and none of that grueling training involved mating.
‘No, this is a Beastkin problem..!’
Beastkin mating was truly like that of animals—incredibly intense and fierce. Mating for the Human Species was bound to be thick and elegant, and Iris, being a Vampire, even had a cheat code through Libido Reduction Magic.
“U-uh, but you know..?! Don't you… want to do it for a bit longer..?!”
“Y-yes! Exactly..!”
“Right?!”
By now, even Sera was starting to catch on. She realized why Theodora had come to the Mounted Goat Inn to bring up this topic after meeting Yoo Eon.
‘I-it’s because I’m a pathetic pussy..! She’s saying I can’t satisfy him on my own..!’
How could this happen? Because of her own inadequacy, the chance to monopolize Yoo Eon for an entire night was slipping away. Should she have been more proactive in giving him sexual stimulation during their night together?
While Sera was sinking into a swamp of deep thought, a single sentence from Theodora snapped her back to reality.
“I-if… if it’s okay with you, Sera, I was thinking of using some magic….”
“Magic..? What kind..?”
After serving Yoo Eon an eviction order, Theodora and Iris had remained in the office to talk.
* * *
“H-hurry up and use it. That Libido Reduction Magic.”
“Why?”
“How can I trust you?! B-be honest! You passed out completely too, didn't you?!”
“I didn't.”
Iris was someone who had lived on the surface for 700 years while hiding her identity. It was safe to say she no longer felt guilt over lying; her track record of scamming Yoo Eon from their very first meeting wasn't just a mistake.
“A-anyway..! I’m the type who doesn't believe it until I experience it myself, okay?”
“And if it works?”
“What?”
Iris countered Theodora’s demand to get what she wanted.
“The magic. If it succeeds?”
“I-if it succeeds..? Well… that’s….”
Theodora fell into thought. If, as she said, the Libido Reduction Magic succeeded, and she could finally spend the thick, all-night session with Yoo Eon that she so desired?
Nothing could be more joyful. It was unsightly to just climax pathetically on her own and pass out after he finished only once.
She wanted to mate intensely until the sun rose in the morning, then snuggle up together under the same blanket and sleep in lazily until lunchtime.
It was a sort of sexual fantasy that Theodora personally held.
“W-what do you want..?”
“Heh.”
* * *
Whisper, whisper.
Flinch.
Shake, shake.
Facepalm.
“I-is that really okay..?”
“To be honest, it’s not exactly something to show off to others…. B-but still..!”
“Yeah….”
A conclusion reached after a long, heated discussion.
“W-what on earth do you even call something like this..?”
“I-I heard the professional term for it is Sapi….”
“Sapi..? What does that mean….”
Regardless, the schedule was set.
If there was a guaranteed magic that Theodora had experienced firsthand, there would be no more nights of just crying out pathetically and falling asleep from exhaustion.
They had only talked between the two of them, but just imagining what would happen tonight made their bodies flush and their heads feel dizzy.
“Go tell your mother you’re going out quickly.”
“W-we’re doing it now?!”
“W-what are you talking about..! We’re going to pick out clothes..!!”
“O-oh, right..!”
Word had it that Iris, that wicked woman, had some lewd clothes specifically for the bedroom. They were receiving help from the new arrival, but neither of them was about to let that pebble take their place.
‘As aggressively as possible..! Tonight, I’ll last the longest..!!’
Sera and Theodora steeled their hearts with deep inner resolve.
* * *
Meanwhile, Yoo Eon.
“Oh, man. Goodbye, world.”
They say when three women gather, they break windows. Of course, what Yoo Eon was thinking right now was that it wouldn't be a window breaking, but his own skull.
He had failed to stop Theodora and just let her go to report to Sera. He hadn't heard a single word of what Theodora and Iris had discussed in the office.
“Man, if you have three legs, you’re definitely not human.”
He was repenting for his sins and leaving his final testament before death.
“Aven! You rascal!”
“Gwah!”
Yoo Eon was slammed into the building wall after being hit in the ribs by Theodora’s flying kick, which had appeared out of nowhere. It didn't actually hurt that much, but since WWE only works if the person getting hit sells it well, he played along.
He clutched his side and struggled to stand up, only to see something unexpected.
‘Is this an execution?’
Sera’s face was bright red, looking as if she might charge at him at any moment.
He had two wives and yet had slept with another woman, so how could Sera, his first wife, not be upset?
“I’m sorry!”
Yoo Eon immediately dropped to his knees and performed a dogeza of apology.
“P-please get up….”
Then came Sera’s response.
“Uh… Sera?”
When he cautiously turned his head, he saw Sera covering her small face with her hands, her head hanging low.
“What’s going on?”
“Get up already, what are you doing?”
“Dora, I think I need an explanation of the situation.”
“Do you really want to die? Tonight, you get neither an explanation nor a choice.”
“Hmm.”
Yoo Eon turned his head slightly to the side, and his gaze fell upon Iris, who was shrugging and tilting her head.
“Yep.”
What exactly was ‘yep’ supposed to mean?
