Something unbelievable has happened.
"A disaster...! It's a disaster!!"
The current time is 4 AM.
In that silence, my voice echoed weakly.
"D-Doctor-nim? No, why are you here at this hour...? Did something happen?"
"Something unbelievable has happened...!!"
And the place that resolves such unbelievable things is STW.
"Something unbelievable, you say?"
"Seo Ha-rin-yang has been kidnapped! By none other than Seis!!"
As soon as Seo Ha-rin-yang was kidnapped by Seis, I immediately headed to the Psychic Management Bureau.
"Assistant-gun is with Seis? Are you referring to the Guardian?"
"That's right!!"
"Uh... just a moment."
The flustered front desk employee hurriedly ran inside.
"Hoo...."
I exhaled the breath I'd been holding from rushing, and finally calmed down.
Clack-clack.
It's quiet for now, but usually the Management Bureau is a noisy place.
That's because they handle all sorts of psychic-related problems.
From simple Psychic registration to dealing with superpowered criminals.
And even trivial disputes like inter-floor noise... people visit the Management Bureau for various reasons.
Well, it's not unreasonable to think of it as an adventurer's guild from a fantasy novel.
However, there's one difference,
"Doctor Aerus-nim?"
"Ah...! You've come! The Guardian of Absolute Victory...!"
One Guardian is on our team.
* * *
I'm dumbfounded.
A Guardian kidnapped me?
And the Guardian who commissioned this erotic game?
Surely, Doctor-nim didn't sell me off....
"No, that can't be...."
I stroked my chin with one hand.
[ What are you dawdling for? Didn't I tell you to drink the potion at once? ]
Is the owner of that arrogant voice really a Guardian?
In fact, it might not be a Guardian.
It could even be an impersonator.
Or it could be Doctor-nim.
"Haa... I get it."
Well, nothing changes because of that.
After all, no matter who it is, I still have to follow orders.
The person outside only needs to turn off my life support, and I'll die.
In a word, my life is in the hands of that person outside.
... I had no choice but to get up.
[ First, enjoy the nearest Bad Ending. ]
Wait.
"...What? What did you say?"
[ Hmph. Don't dawdle. If you don't obey, I shall manipulate your pleasure settings. ]
...What's with that way of speaking?
"No...! That's not it, b-Bad Endings are a bit...."
My memory isn't that of a goldfish.
The Bad Endings I heard about from Doctor-nim were all violent ones.
Things like becoming a human sex toy squeezed for 24 hours, or a sex slave... such things.
You're telling me to experience that?
Even Doctor-nim said it was too much!
Moreover, if an ordinary person like me were to do something like that, my mind could really break.
[ Hmm? An interesting expression. ]
This feels ominous.
[ Seo Ha-rin-yang, I quite enjoy games. I tried many things when I was human.... ]
Seis suddenly brought up his past.
Wait, he was human?
[ So, for your sake, and for mine, how about we set a few rules? ]
"...What are they?"
[ Do you see the Sex Points below the Status Window? ]
"It's 'Sex Points'...."
The Sex Points I saw when I first entered the game.
Thanks to encountering a few events, the points had accumulated to 8.
[ Huhu. Each time you pay 10 Sex Points, I shall grant you one Bad Ending exemption pass! ]
Well, it's not a bad offer, but my expression twisted because of his ominous laughter.
"I only have 8 points right now, couldn't you lower it to 8 points?"
[ NO. ]
"...."
With that firm refusal, I left the room.
* * *
"W-Whoa...! Harin-ah!"
When I went downstairs to the first floor, Pai was startled for some reason.
"Is that... really that delicious?"
On the table, Pai was frantically chugging a potion.
An unknown pink potion held in both her hands. And the pink liquid smeared around her mouth made me frown.
What's more, there were countless empty bottles around the table, showing how much she had drunk.
"Uh, huh? Delicious, you ask? Of course it's delicious!! Do you want some too?"
I sighed deeply and reached out my hand.
"Th-This is mine."
"Huh?"
"Ah, no... this is mine."
So she's the type to subtly look out for her own things.
Pai said that and pulled the potion she was holding close to her chest.
"Ha, Harin-ah, you go to the kitchen over there and make your own...."
"Seriously."
Wasn't she supposed to be brainwashed by me? She's not listening as much as I thought.
[ Stop being stubborn and move along, won't you? ]
Having no choice, I headed to the kitchen.
...
Looking at it again, the mansion was quite spacious.
A house with a separate kitchen and living room....
Ding~
Just then, as I opened the kitchen door, a Status Window appeared before my eyes.
———
About Brewing...
———
"Brewing?"
The Status Window was showing a tutorial about brewing.
In other words, potion crafting.
———
Tutorial Mission: Craft an HP Potion (Small)!
———
'An HP Potion, huh....'
It seemed to be the same potion Pai was just drinking.
———
[ HP Potion (Small) ]
The most basic potion that restores 10 HP.
———
The Doctor-nim's insistence on detail, which you'd know if you spent a long time with him.
I thought it was all erotic content, but it seems they properly took care of this witch concept too.
———
[ Required Materials ]
Apple x 1
Water x 1
Witch's Saliva x 1
———
"...Huh?"
I unconsciously made a sound.
Did I read that wrong?
'Witch's Saliva...?'
First, water comes out if you turn the tap....
Fortunately, apples were piled high in a wooden box on one side of the kitchen.
It seemed like the method was to put the ingredients into the cauldron next to it and boil them.
"Hmm...?"
The cauldron was large.
It was large enough for my body to fit inside with room to spare.
But that wasn't what was important.
A suspicious object hidden behind the cauldron.
A strange object, one I'd never seen before, was sitting there.
It was shaped like a horse, an apparatus that a person could ride and sit on.
'Is it exercise equipment...?'
But... the sitting part was slightly blunt, giving off a strange awkwardness.
"No, wait a minute...."
Hmm.
This isn't something I've never seen before.
It's a sex toy you encounter if you watch various erotic videos.
A triangular horse, as it's called, was sitting there.
"This is absurd...."
Why on earth is an item like this randomly in the kitchen?
Moreover, in this situation where saliva is needed to make a potion.
It's truly reaching the peak of perversion.
Of course, they must be talking about my saliva, right?
After all, I'm the only witch here....
I shook my head and focused my mind.
"Mission... let's complete the tutorial first."
Thud.
I casually tossed an apple into the cauldron and half-heartedly filled it with water.
Gurgle.
"...Ptooey."
Soon after, when I spat into the cauldron, something amazing happened.
Gurgle—
Pop!
The water began to boil on its own and instantly turned into a red liquid.
"Oh...."
Come to think of it, couldn't I just eat the apple and drink the water separately?
'Something's strange....'
A moment later, the Status Window appeared again.
———
Would you like to complete the crafting?
(When crafting a potion, 1 Sex Point will be deducted.)
———
"Eh?"
There was no mention of this.
It demands Sex Points every time I make a potion?
[ What are you hesitating for? Why aren't you crafting it? ]
"...Damn it."
And then I realized.
The reason that Guardian-nim was demanding points under the pretext of an exemption pass.
In this world, Sex Points are important.
There's probably no place where they aren't used.
So, the moment I use points for an exemption pass, my growth will fall behind.
In other words, if my growth falls behind, I'll inevitably have to experience a Bad Ending.
[ Haha. Give up already and do as this one commands. ]
"...Haha?"
Indeed, with the clear power dynamic right now, what choice do I have?
I picked up an empty glass bottle lying nearby, closed my eyes tightly, and filled it with the contents haphazardly.
———
Sex Points ... -1
HP Potion (Small) x 1 has been crafted!
———
"Hoo...."
Thus, I crafted the potion.
A potion emitting a red light.
It was a deep crimson color, just like blood sausage soup.
"...?"
But something's strange.
The potion Pai was drinking was definitely pink.
[ Now that you've completed the tutorial, proceed to craft the potion I spoke of. ]
Just before the potion touched my lips, the Guardian spoke.
"...What?"
[ That potion is merely an HP Potion. Would I, who commissioned this erotic game, have called you just to drink a health recovery potion? ]
"Well, that's true, but... no, wait... what?"
[ Therefore, let us begin the serious potion crafting. ]
Thump!
It was then.
The kitchen door forcibly closed, and the Status Window appeared.
———
About Aphrodisiac Crafting...
Aphrodisiacs can be crafted in various ways.
Starting from simple masturbation, you can use a companion's bodily fluids and used equipment as materials.
First, let's extract vaginal fluid using the triangular stand next to you!
———
"...What did you say?"
[ There's also Love Gel next to you, so Seo Ha-rin-yang's fate rests with you. ]
...What kind of obvious thing is that?
"No, no. So, surely you're not telling me to...."
Ding~
Just as my head started to spin, the damned Status Window sound effect rang in my ears.
———
[ Aphrodisiac Potion (Small) ]
An aphrodisiac with a slightly sweet taste. When consumed, the body heats up, making one easily aroused.
[ Required Materials ]
Apple x 1
Water x 1
Witch's Saliva x 1
Witch's Vaginal Fluid x 1
———
'Vaginal fluid....'
[ Do you know what vaginal fluid is? Vaginal fluid is the liquid that comes out during masturbation.... ]
"I know!!"
I subtly moved my hand towards my private parts.
"Um... so you're telling me to just masturbate? Just plain masturbate?"
[ Of course not. Vaginal fluid can only be extracted from that triangular horse over there. Of course, if you simply want to masturbate, you are certainly free to do so. ]
"...."
The height of the triangular horse was appropriate.
It was at a height where I could rub against it comfortably even while standing.
"Hmm...."
I slowly spread my legs and tried to get on, but it was still too much.
If I just stall for a bit, maybe something will work out?
...Just as I was thinking that.
[ Do you intend to keep standing still? Then I have no choice. ]
"What?"
Oh, surely he's not just going to let it slide?
... I harbored such a hopeful thought.
Ding~
A sharp sound effect.
As soon as I heard that sound, my body inexplicably heated up.
It felt eerie, like sharp shards of ice were raking across my entire body.
"H-Ugh?!"
[ I have set the sensitivity to double. From now on, each time you hesitate, I shall adjust the sensitivity. ]
"...Hey?!"
