Chapter 153: The Correct Way to Use a Crystal Orb
It was only after a long, detailed conversation with Iona that I was finally able to leave the laboratory.
Perhaps because the talk had gone on longer than expected, the sun had already set.
And so, returning home a bit later than planned, I stepped into the dormitory.
"Master, Master, Master, Master, Master, Master, Master, Master."
"That’s terrifying! I’m sorry I’m late! I’m sorry, so just calm down for a second!"
And why are her pupils so unfocused?!
"Elisha! Help me out here!"
"Ah... I can't hear anything!"
Elisha was huddled in a corner, covering her long ears and shaking her head vigorously.
How can you be just as scared as I am...?
I lowered my head, trying to calm Carla down first.
"Hehe."
"???"
In the brief moment I hadn't been looking, Carla had returned to normal and was beaming at me.
"How was it, Master? I tried imitating the heroine from a book I borrowed from the library the other day!"
"...Tell me before you do that next time."
I have an interest in yandere roleplay, but if it happens out of nowhere, it’s just a horror movie.
I let out a long sigh and gave Carla’s cheeks a firm tug.
"Hehehe..."
For some reason, she seemed to enjoy it even more.
Seeing this, Elisha peeked her head out from the corner to observe us.
It looked like Elisha hadn't known it was an act either.
I gave a light flick of my hand, and Elisha approached hesitantly. I grabbed her twitching ears and whispered to her.
"Cock confiscated for today."
"...Pardon?"
"How dare you abandon your master and run away? You need to be punished for that, don't you?"
"Th-that’s..."
Elisha averted her eyes, clearly feeling guilty.
However, she soon lifted her head defiantly and put on a prim expression.
"Hmph! What do you take me for? Do you think I’m some woman obsessed with your cock?"
"No. But you will be soon."
I sat on the sofa with Carla tucked by my side. Then, tapping my lap, I issued a command for the first time in a while.
"[Sit.]"
"You don't mean...!"
Elisha’s blue eyes widened as she realized her fate... but her body faithfully followed the command.
Press.
I felt the sensation of Elisha’s buttocks against my thighs.
The large, heavy sensation made my anger melt away, but I didn't let it show. I nonchalantly slid my hand under Elisha’s clothes.
"Hyah!"
As I grabbed her breast, Elisha flailed like a platypus whose nest had been flooded during a nap.
However, perhaps because of the command to sit, she kept her lower body pressed firmly against my thighs, which meant she was essentially rubbing her rear against my crotch.
I nodded with a satisfied smile, but only for a moment. Carla, who was rubbing her face against my shoulder, asked a question.
"By the way, Master. Did things go well with your errand?"
"Oh, right. I sat down to tell you guys that, but I forgot for a second. ...Bad breast!"
"Hyaat! Wh-why are you blaming me again?! You're the one touching me, Yandel!"
Elisha, whose nipple had been pinched, protested in an aggrieved voice... but I let it go in one ear and out the other as I recounted the conversation I'd had with Iona.

"So, that’s how it happened."
"What? You were caught tailing Professor Iona to find her weakness, and now you've decided to raid a cult branch together? Just the two of you?"
"Carla, could this be...?"
"Yeah. Professor Iona is the sole survivor of the Francesca Clan."
"Well, she satisfies the basic condition of being a fallen noble. ...Still, to think you'd lay your hands on a professor."
"I know, right? He’s our Master, but really..."
I was dumbfounded by the conversation the two were having while whispering with their faces close together.
"Hey, what are you talking about! If anything, the professor laid her hands on me!"
"......"
"......"
At those words, Carla and Elisha looked at each other.
They exchanged some sort of look and then nodded, reaching a conclusion.
"Master must have seduced her."
"Yes. I’m sure that’s what happened."
I was speechless at how naturally they pinned the blame on me.
"Good grief. Unbelievable."
Sure, I might have acted a bit like a victim! And I might have said something like, 'If you want to do it that badly, then go ahead!' And then I was physically pounced upon by Iona!
But to call that seduction... hmm...
...Wait? Was I actually seducing Iona?
The sudden question left me dazed as if I'd been hit in the back of the head... but I shook it off by lightly biting Elisha’s ear.
"Kyat?! You really...!"
Regardless, this wasn't some soft story about seduction; it was a serious matter leading to Iona’s revenge.
Once I gave a brief explanation about Ayla, the two finally understood.
"Professor Iona’s circumstances are quite famous, so I knew the gist of it, but to think her younger sister..."
"I think I understand the situation, Yandel. But isn't this more dangerous than you think? Just the two of you going around destroying branches of the Narrow-minded Usurpation. What if you actually run into Ayla?"
Elisha nagged me with a worried expression, even as her breasts were being vigorously kneaded.
I moved my hands more gently and nodded.
"First of all, Professor Iona said she would cast a Blood Shift spell on me, so I won't get hurt by mistake. The branches we're targeting aren't that dangerous, either."
"Still, there’s no need for just the two of you to go. Just as you and Professor Iona are looking for Ayla, they could be looking for the two of you as well."
"Hmm... I think it’ll be fine."
In the latter half of H&A, Iona succeeds in defeating Ayla.
Well, to put it another way, Ayla had been avoiding Iona until just before the all-out war broke out.
The fact that Iona had been an Academy professor was famous for 300 years.
Ayla clearly knew she would lose in a fair fight.
Even if Iona had the support of other professors and students, Ayla also mobilized other cultists and monsters, so it was even. Yeah.
"But everyone seems to be mistaken about something... I never said I was leaving you two behind."
"Huh? You said only you and Professor Iona would be moving."
"Yeah. But since you're slaves, you're bound to me, right? It’s only natural that you follow where I go. What do you call it? Two bodies, one soul? Something like that?"
"Aha?"
Only then did Carla and Elisha’s expressions soften.
In fact, contrary to their worries, it wasn't that dangerous. To begin with, Iona was both a High Magician and a Lord-class vampire.
Due to her racial traits, her combat power was a level higher than a magician of the same rank.
Since the Evil God’s seal hadn't been fully released yet, and the cult’s maximum strength was currently at the Cardinal-level, it would be impossible for them to stop Iona’s surprise attack.
The speed of information exchange would also be slow because they kept the connections between branches loose to avoid being caught all at once.
Carla and Elisha probably knew this well.
The reason they were so worried... was likely because of what happened in the practice dungeon.
Just as I had vowed to take Carla with me wherever I went from then on, Carla and Elisha were anxious about being separated.
Well, Iona was just happy that she could finally teach the two of them something, even though she couldn't do so officially.
That fool who only knows how to exterminate cultists...
"Everyone understands now, right? Then that’s the end of this story! Carla. Could you put this crystal orb in a suitable spot and activate it?"
"Huh? Yes!"
I handed her the crystal orb connected to Iris from my inventory. Though she looked puzzled, Carla set it up a short distance in front of us and infused it with mana.
Before long, a blurry shape appeared, and soon the outline became clear, revealing Iris’s bright-eyed face.
"Ah, yeah. I had some business with Professor Iona..."
Since I had only just thought of the crystal orb, I had to give the same explanation twice, but unlike the other two, Iris accepted it calmly without getting anxious.
"It had a function like that? Yeah. I'll keep that in mind."
After that, we spent some time sharing brief updates and chatting. About thirty minutes had passed.
Iris opened her small mouth wide and yawned.
Iris glanced at Elisha, who was being kneaded while sitting on my lap, and started changing into her pajamas as if it were no big deal.
She seemed to think I was just going to play around as usual... but not today.
I spoke to Iris, who was half-naked and wiggling her bottom.
"Hold it right there."
"Yeah. Don't put on your pajamas. Take off your panties."
Iris looked this way with eyes that said, 'No way.'
I chuckled at her look of utter shock and spoke to Carla.
"Carla. Help me undress myself and Elisha. It’s a bit hard to do in this position."
"Okay!"
Even though I hadn't told her to, Carla, who had already stripped naked herself, began to undress Elisha and me one by one.
"W-wait a minute! You... you don't mean it, right?"
"Mean what?"
"You're not planning on keeping the crystal orb connected and doing it while showing each other to Master Iris, are you?!"
"I am, though. Oh, Iris. Could you put the crystal orb a bit lower? So I can see your pussy clearly, not just your face."
"Yeah. That’s good."
Had she been a bit lonely being by herself? It didn't take long for Iris’s sleepy expression to be stained with lust.
Looking at Iris’s flushed face and plump pussy flesh reflected in the crystal orb, I intertwined my legs with Elisha’s.
And as I spread them wide, Elisha’s legs naturally followed, revealing her slightly damp pussy.
"Iris. Can you see it well?"
Good, then the preparations are complete.
I whispered into the ear of Elisha, whose breathing was becoming ragged, perhaps from the thrill of showing her pussy to Iris.
"Don't get too excited."
I told you, your cock privileges are revoked for today.
