Chapter 142: It works if I try... right? (3)
Something was wrong.
"Kyaaaaaaaaah!"
"Ngh... Master, if you struggle so suddenly..."
"Kyaah! Kyaaaaaah! Kiiyaaaaaaaah!!"
The moment I synchronized deeply with Carla’s core. It was for a brief moment—literally a split second.
For some reason, it wasn't just my mana sensitivity that linked, but all five of my senses.
The heavy sensation felt all too vivid.
"No one gets to stick it in me!"
Even if that person is me!!
"Kieeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!"
"Ah! Master! Please calm down! If you do this, it keeps rubbing... ngh... it's harder to pull out..."
It was only after a massive commotion that I finally managed to calm down with Elisha's help.
In the process, Carla climaxed about twice, but...
She seemed satisfied, so I guess it’s fine.

"Are you feeling better now, Yandel?"
"Yeah..."
I nodded quietly while hugging the limp Carla.
Elisha looked a bit grumpy, as if she were annoyed that I had made such a fuss while she was testing her new abilities.
However, it didn't take long for her lips to twitch before she burst into a fit of giggles.
"Pfft! Did you really hate it that much, Yandel?"
"Would you like it?"
"Oh my? We live every day accepting that wicked thing of yours, don't we?"
"...Should I make it smaller?"
When I asked cautiously, Carla, who I thought had fainted, shook her head with a trembling motion.
"No. Please do it every day... because I love Master's cock."
"Carla!"
Perhaps because of the unwanted experience of being on the receiving end, Carla's words sounded exceptionally moving.
"By the way, my pussy is seriously no joke, isn't it? Is this what they call a 'masterpiece'?"
...If only she hadn't followed up with that.
As Elisha and I stared at her with horrified expressions, Carla laughed brightly, saying it was just a joke.
Elisha looked like she wanted to say something in response to that smile, but she ended up just letting out a deep sigh.
"Sigh... Anyway, how did this happen? Isn't it supposed to be just the sensation of handling mana that becomes unified?"
"Hehe. That's right. Usually, it is. Even when I synchronize with Master's core, I don't feel his five senses."
"Then why on earth..."
"Because he's Master?"
An answer without a shred of hesitation or doubt.
Elisha was left speechless by Carla's ruby-colored eyes, which were sparkling exceptionally bright today.
"Uh, yeah... I guess? Because it's Yandel..."
At Elisha's lackluster reaction, Carla flailed her arms in protest.
"I'm not just flattering him, okay? There's a really plausible reason."
"I'm a bit curious about that too. What's the reason?"
"It's simple. Master's heart is much closer to the original than mine."
"...Huh?"
I wondered what she was talking about, but Carla's subsequent explanation was quite logical.
Carla, whose dragon blood had thinned over generations, and I, who had obtained the thickest blood through Origin Regression.
And the Lintblum Breathing Technique, created by an ancestor who looked exactly like me.
It was obvious whose aptitude was superior.
"Since someone like Master is trying to synchronize with my core, isn't it natural that the result is more powerful than when I do it?"
"No, but still, it's not like we're a vampire clan where someone with high-purity blood exerts dominance over a subordinate... hmm..."
Elisha, after pondering for a moment, nodded.
"Come to think of it, dragons used to command kin as guardians. Perhaps..."
"......"
Perhaps my foot.
The very setting of me being a descendant of a dragon is a fabrication in the first place.
In my opinion, this is likely the influence of System Correction.
Of course, since it was in the realm of mana manipulation rather than magic, I wouldn't have received direct correction.
However, there are many elements that receive correction even if one isn't casting a spell.
Just as holding a weapon applies correction to every movement of the body.
The essence of Status Window correction is to grant above-average skill to everything engraved on the Status Window as a trait.
The mana core was no exception.
Normally, even if Carla had made it for me, it would have taken a long time of struggling before I could circulate mana on my own.
In my case, the moment the core settled, it stabilized rapidly and the circuits were activated.
Instead, it's said to have a mechanical feel that lacks individual characteristics.
But perhaps that's why, when synchronizing with Carla, I was able to go excessively deep?
Just as my heart gets closer when I hug Iris than when I hug Fay.
Because it's a core without any particular irregularities, a much tighter synchronization occurred when I matched it to Carla.
To the point where it didn't stop at sensations related to mana but shared the five senses as well.
Well... this is also just my speculation.
I nodded to myself and spoke.
"Anyway, I'm never doing that again."
"What?! Why! Master, you know too! With a connection that tight, there's so much you can gain!"
"I know. But I'm not doing it."
"Could it be...?"
"Yeah. I told you earlier, didn't I? Even if it's myself, there are no exceptions."
"Nooo... Masteeer..."
Carla threw a tantrum in disbelief, but I couldn't budge on this.
Did she finally give up at my firm attitude? Carla let out a long sigh and began rubbing her cheek against my collarbone.
The breasts rubbing against my upper body every time she did so were a bonus.
I gently stroked the back of Carla's head, as she seemed a bit sulky.
"Don't be too disappointed. I still clearly remember the feeling of matching my mana pattern to something else."
"...Pardon?"
Carla looked puzzled.
Surprisingly, it was true that I had realized the knack for modifying mana patterns.
Despite everything, did the System Correction apply because I had experienced it once with my body?
It seems it was possible because it's likely a minor technique attached to the Lintblum Core or the Lower Mage trait.
"I'll just show you once, so watch closely."
I closed my eyes for a moment and reached out one hand.
This time, I wouldn't mimic someone's mana pattern. That's only necessary for synchronization.
Instead, I began to heighten my mana pattern more passionately.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
My heartbeat began to ring faster and faster. Accordingly, the core also began to overheat as it increased its rotation speed.
The image I held was that of a rising small spark.
"Tinder."
Whoosh!
It wasn't quite the resonance Carla had shown before, but the firepower had become considerably stronger.
For something without a charge chant, this wasn't bad at all.
Seeing this, Carla's jaw simply dropped, while Elisha narrowed her eyes and nodded.
"Did you synchronize your core with the fire magic itself rather than a person? It's not impossible. In fact, specialized magic circles or specialized mana cores work on a similar principle. But it's quite surprising that you can change it at will."
"Right. While learning element combination before, I was exposed to the properties of the elements themselves until I was sick of it, right? So I just kind of got the feel for it."
"Usually, even if people get the feel for it, they can't replicate it. This is... well. If I had to say, it's an artificial aptitude."
"But it worked when I tried."
"......"
Elisha made a face as if she had seen something incredibly obnoxious, so I just shrugged my shoulders.
She's a genius type herself, so why is she acting like that?
A skilled mage can infer what kind of magic was cast and from where, based on the properties felt in the flow of mana.
For example, feeling hot mana means fire magic, or feeling hard mana means earth magic.
But in the first place, where would mana have temperature or hardness?
Mana is an energy that cannot have a physical form until it turns into a phenomenon, whether it be magic or something else.
All of that is just a common wavelength that the corresponding attribute possesses.
What I just replicated was mimicking that wavelength.
Of course, this is a much inferior, minor version compared to the Lindelheit secret technique that amplifies by resonating with the magic itself.
I can only strengthen one type at a time, and even then, it's only possible for elemental magic whose wavelengths I clearly remember.
It's a realization with many limitations in various ways.
"Still, you've certainly caught the thread of it."
Indeed. As Elisha said, I've definitely caught the thread, so if I develop it like this, wouldn't I be able to learn resonance as well?
Carla, who had been blankly watching the flame burning on my hand, began to twitch the corners of her mouth uncontrollably.
"Heh. Hehehe. Hehehehe."
"Carla?"
"As expected of Master! I believed in you!"
"...Didn't you pout your lips when I said I'd never synchronize again?"
"I did it so I could do this!"
Chu.
Carla kissed my cheek and beamed.
I pulled on Carla's cheek.
"Kyaaa!"
A scream that sounded strangely joyful.
Next, I pinched Elisha's cheek.
"Byaaaak!"
Just a strange scream.
"W-what was that for! Why did you suddenly pinch me?!"
I chuckled at Elisha's indignant voice and spoke.
"Just because?"
"...Eek!"
Elisha's long ears trembled as if she were frustrated.
However, just as Carla had done to me moments ago, she quieted down immediately when I gave her a slight kiss.
Carla and Elisha were quietly soaking in the water.
And me, positioned between the two of them.
Though there were unexpected events, I had gained my own results from the training with Carla.
...Wouldn't it be okay now?
The atmosphere instantly turned suggestive.
As if I wasn't the only one feeling it, Elisha subtly pressed her breasts against me and spoke.
"Um. You?"
"Yeah?"
"We didn't go all the way, and it was for training, but anyway, you did it with Carla, so next is..."
Elisha subtly tried to climb on top of me.
Her wet blue ringlet hair tickled my upper body.
It was a very reasonable argument, so I also reached my hand toward Elisha's waist, but—
Pa-pa-pa Pa-pa Pa-pa-pa-pa—
The sound of the alarm clock ringing from the bedroom.
"......"
"......"
Right. We weren't in a situation where we had plenty of time.
I gently stroked the ears of the tearful Elisha and spoke.
"Could you just do it quickly with your mouth?"
"......"
"In return, I'll let you go first tonight, Elisha. We'll draw the bathwater just like this."
"...Understood."
Elisha slid underwater.
Underwater breathing was invincible.
And the underwater blowjob was god-tier.
