#018 Mission
"S-Surely, an angel...?"
I'm a demon lord! How dare you treat this body like some mutt!
Beres raged on and on about being insulted after graciously sparing the woman's life, but I ignored her and answered lightly.
"Not an angel. Just an ordinary human. Where are you headed?"
"Ah... I just wanted to rest for a bit."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted over the academy buildings she had frequented so often. Her eyes looked wistful—perhaps she was thinking of her friends?
"Are you giving up on magic?"
"No. I plan to take about half a year off. No matter how hard I try, I don't think I can manage on my own among the nobles."
I looked into the girl's eyes. There was no lie in them. I could even glimpse a spark of will to live.
"What do you intend to do during those six months?"
"I was thinking of earning some money."
Academy tuition was expensive—expensive enough that eighty percent of the commoners who were accepted ended up dropping out. I pulled a pouch from my waist. It was heavy in my palm, the very same money pouch I had taken from Jeffrey.
"Then, would you mind if I hired you?"
"Huh...? Are you a noble, by any chance?"
"Yes."
"I-I'm so sorry! I've committed a grave offense..."
The woman threw the pouch aside and dropped to her knees, begging forgiveness. I pulled her back to her feet and placed the pouch in her hands.
"You've studied earth magic, correct?"
"Y-Yes."
"Go down to my territory for half a year and help the farmers. This is your payment."
She bowed her head in gratitude and opened the pouch. Her eyes widened instantly.
"T-The amount is far too much!"
"You'll understand why once you get there. It's nothing but rocks and dirt... hah."
Yet the look in her eyes told me she didn't believe a word. Hardworking girl. She won't have an easy time making money.
I had no choice but to add one more condition.
"In exchange, once you return, you'll assist me at the academy until graduation. How about it?"
"I'll do it!"
Only then did a satisfied smile bloom across her face.
Just give it to her and be done with it. How tiresome.
'Honestly, it's not a small sum.'
With that much money, she wouldn't have to worry about tuition until graduation.
"Then follow me for a moment, Lady Cecile."
I returned to my room and wrote a single letter, then pressed my seal into it with magic.
"Take this and find the coachman Hans."
"Kael Cleanberry..."
She clutched the letter tightly and nodded. With that, she left the academy grounds. I watched her go for a while before turning away.
Beres's voice reached my ears.
So, what are you going to do now?
What else?
'Find the royals and nobles and sow my seed.'
Got a concrete plan?
'Not yet, but there's one woman nearby I can devour, isn't there?'
Ah. That cow princess?
I confirmed it and strode forward without hesitation.

"I-I see."
Princess Reina's eyes widened as she listened to Kael's story. She had never imagined such sordid affairs lurked behind the recent suicide incidents at the academy.
'So the headmaster and a number of students were involved...'
She once again realized just how exceptional the man before her truly was. Relief washed over her—that he was on her side and no one else's.
Then, suddenly, a dangerous glint appeared in the man's eyes as he looked at her. After countless times being violated between her breasts, she knew exactly what that look meant.
"A-Are you going to do that again?"
That meant paizuri—the obscene act of sliding his manhood between her breasts. He demanded it almost every day without tiring of it, and lately she had begun to feel strange sensations herself, as if the lewdness had rubbed off on her.
"No."
"Whew. That's a relief. Then why are you looking at me like—mmph?!"
Her eyes flew wide at the sudden sensation against her lips. The black-haired man's face was right in front of hers. What in the world was he doing...?
Smack. Suck. Smack...
Her mind went blank. It felt as though her brain had simply evaporated.
Am I... in heaven?
Bathed in bright light like morning sunlight, she blinked several times. Then she surrendered herself to the intense sensation.
Time passed—though it felt like only an instant. While floating in that blissful haze, the touch on her lips vanished. Kael's voice reached her ears.
"How does it feel, Princess Reina?"
Her vision returned to normal. Kael was smiling brightly in front of her, licking his lips.
Realizing what she had just done, the princess ducked her head in embarrassment.
"...I-I don't know."
* * *
'A first kiss lingers in memory just as long as the tearing of a maidenhead.'
Because it was her first?
Well... that was part of it, but more precisely, the moment of a first kiss literally made the brain evaporate. Whether it was due to an intense surge of hormones or some other chemical reaction, she didn't know exactly. She simply accepted it as common knowledge, the way mages did.
Princess Reina's eyes grew unfocused, a look of longing spreading across her face. All her usual prickly behavior had vanished completely. Yet the moment he spoke, she flinched and quickly lowered her head again.
"How does it feel, Princess Reina?"
"...I-I don't know."
"Then let's try it once more."
"W-What?! Stop this instant—"
The princess's scolding cut off the instant their lips met. She began accepting his kiss like a docile lamb.
Shall we take things a little further than before?
He slipped his tongue out, pushing between her lips and into her mouth. A sweet taste met him where their lips touched—lip balm made from honey and fruit. The scent was fresh and pleasant as well. As expected of a well-cared-for princess.
He pushed deeper until he found her tongue and gently rubbed against it. With no kissing experience of her own, the princess naturally extended her tongue to mimic him.
Haa... smack. Suck... smack.
Before they knew it, they had climbed onto the bed, lost in the kiss.
This is my chance.
'It's about time I devoured the princess.'
He began removing her outer garments one by one. She found them cumbersome and actively cooperated. Her massive breasts, tipped with pink areolas, came into view. Her pure white panties slid down, revealing her cute slit.
When he placed his hand over it, the princess finally protested for the first time.
"N-Not there..."
She grabbed his wrist with both hands. But he wasn't the sort to stop just because she said no. He pressed his palm firmly against her mound and rubbed vigorously.
"A-Ahh?! W-Wait... mmph...!"
The princess struggled, but with his lips locked on hers and his fingers attacking her clit, all she could do was squeeze her thighs together in a futile attempt to protect herself.
His fingers were already inside. He kept rubbing. Schlick, schlick, schlick!
"Hngh...! Hah... mmph...!"
She clutched his arm with both hands, but it only slowed him down. What was meant to happen, happened.
The princess climaxed.
Her body trembled violently. Her eyes rolled back repeatedly. She rubbed her thighs together before arching her back sharply as the orgasm hit. Her soft flesh squeezed tightly around the fingers buried inside her.
"How was that? Did you like it?"
"Hah... I-I don't know... hngh. This... this is my first time..."
"If you don't know, we'll just have to try again."
"T-That's...! Wait—"
He spread her legs wide. Her pink folds twitched and greeted him.
"Time to eat. Slurp, slurp, slurp."
"A-Ahh! S-Stop...! I just came, so I'm sensitive—hngh...♥"
When his tongue dragged from her entrance up to her clit, the princess thrashed wildly, like a fish out of water. She grabbed his head with both hands and his cheeks with her thighs, trying desperately to resist. But the resistance was pointless—she climaxed again soon after.
"I'm coming again—aaah!"
Preparations were complete. He stripped and pulled out his cock. The exhausted princess spread her legs wide and panted heavily. Her precious place trembled, dripping clear fluid.
He climbed over her carefully and pressed his shaft against her entrance. Feeling the contact, the princess looked up at him.
"J-Just a moment... listen to me."
"I'm listening."
"If... if you complete a task for me, I'll allow you to do as you please afterward. So for now..."
"Hmm. What is it?"
He decided to hear her out. The princess let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"Well, you see..."
The story went like this: Every professor newly assigned to the academy had one mandatory duty—publishing a thesis. Failure to do so within a year meant dismissal. Most mages who had spent years studying magic could manage it without difficulty, but the princess was different. At barely twenty years old, with less than twenty years of magical study, writing a new thesis would not be easy. Moreover, she currently had no vassals or subordinates to assist her.
'Honestly, it's not that difficult for me, but...'
He looked at the princess. She seemed to believe he would accept the task out of love for her, buying her a year of breathing room to prepare her response—or something else.
'Might as well help her out.'
Just get it over with. It's bad manners to back down when the pussy's right in front of you.
'There are plenty of other women to eat.'
True. The surroundings are full of prey.
He looked up. The princess swallowed dryly, waiting for his decision.
"Princess Reina."
"Yes? W-What is it...?"
"If I succeed, you must keep your promise."
"D-Don't worry. I will definitely keep it."
"I love you."
"How can you say something so embarrassing so easily... mmph."
When he kissed her, she accepted it willingly. After everything they'd already done below, this much seemed acceptable now.
After exchanging saliva for a while, he pulled back slightly.
"Then shall we extract today's load with your mouth, Princess?"
The princess gathered her breasts together with an expression that said the moment had come.
"Today I'd rather receive it in your mouth instead."
Thinking she had gained the upper hand after his earlier concession, she spoke firmly.
"Absolutely not. Absolutely not! Once you complete the task, I'll do anything you want."
Oh? That was tempting.
She's digging her own grave. I seriously suspect the nutrients meant for her brain went to her chest instead.
'What does it matter? She's got a great body and a pretty face. As long as she treats me well, that's all that counts.'
He grabbed her breasts and slid his cock between them, smiling.
"Then it's a promise, Princess!"
