Chapter 115: The Dick is Closer Than the Law (1)[R-18]
A few days before officially signing the ‘Meat Toilet Contract’ with Helen.
“Elfriede.”
“Oho!! If it isn't Senior Ian! Did you come all the way here just because you missed me, Elfriede?”
“Do you have a moment?”
“Te-he~☆ Even if I’m busy, I have to make time if my Senior needs me! Oh, just so you know, I’m not a big fan of sweets! And for meals, I prefer rice over noodles!”
“....”
As I remained silent, the bright smile on Elfriede’s face slowly began to fade.
“Sigh... I guess this isn't a request for a date. ...It’s about that, isn't it?”
“Yeah.”
“...Well, this isn't the place to talk. Let’s go to our usual spot.”
Once we arrived at the old school building, Elfriede perched herself on a desk, swinging her legs back and forth.
“...Senior. I warned you. I told you it would be impossible to exorcise that demon.”
“Elfriede.”
“Still, you’re lucky, Senior. You have a Genius Beauty High Elf like me as your junior. Anyone else would have been poking around blindly without this kind of info and ended up at the Church...”
“For now, the exorcism was a success.”
“.....Huh? What did you say? You... succeeded?”
Elfriede’s eyes widened in disbelief as she asked again.
“You’re lying, right?”
“It’s not a lie. Though, at best, it’s only a half-success.”
“Senior... success is success and failure is failure. I don’t really get what you mean by a 'half-success'?”
As expected, even Elfriede seemed puzzled, tilting her head as if she had never heard of such a thing.
“Well, you see...”
I told Elfriede everything that had happened during the exorcism of the ‘Balance Demon,’ excluding the parts involving Yuris.
“...And that’s how it went.”
“Wait a second. You left out the most important part. What exactly did you put on the scales as a price for that to happen?”
“....”
I expected the question, but it wasn't an easy one to answer.
Elfriede puffed out her cheeks and whipped her head away.
“Ugh!! I’m seriously hurt! Truly! I’ve shared all sorts of things with you, Senior, but you’re being stingy over just one thing!!”
“It’s not that I’m being stingy...”
“Then why are you hiding it?!”
“...Elfriede. If I tell you, you have to keep it a secret between us for the rest of your life.”
“Ha, Senior... do you not trust me? You realize how much high-level info I’ve dumped on you so far, right?”
She was right.
If it weren't for Elfriede, I never would have known about the ‘Balance Demon’ in the first place.
Taking a short breath, I slowly opened my mouth.
“Pleasure.”
“...Pardon?”
“I put pleasure on the scales.”
Elfriede tilted her head for a moment after hearing my answer, and then...
“...H-huh!?”
Her face turned beet red, as if she had just imagined the process of putting pleasure on the scales.
“W-w-what on earth did you do with Estelle?!! To drive out a demon with p-pleasure!! Is... is that even possible?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“N-no... it’s not that I don’t believe you... but more importantly... Estelle is still alive, right?”
“Of course.”
“How did a human endure pleasure that even a demon couldn't stand? I-I don’t understand. Usually, with that level of sensation—whether it’s pleasure or pain—the nerves would give out first...”
“It seems hard to believe. Want me to show you?”
“Sh-show me?!! Right now? Here? To me? The pleasure that drove out a demon?!!”
Elfriede’s pupils shook as if an earthquake were happening behind them, and she gulped audibly.
“I’m joking.”
“Ah.... ho... whew... r-right... a joke... phew...”
As I took a step back, Elfriede let out a sigh that seemed to be a mix of disappointment and relief.
“So, Elfriede, can you figure out the reason?”
“Wh-what reason?”
“Why the ‘Balance Demon’ won't give Estelle’s legs back. In the stories you told me, the exorcism was always finished in one go.”
“Ah... Hmm... This is the first time I’ve seen a case like this, but maybe the amount of pleasure you offered just wasn't enough?”
The answer Elfriede suggested was the first thought I’d had, but it was a possibility I had immediately dismissed.
“Not enough pleasure? She climaxed over 100 times in a single night.”
“1-100 times?! Wait, Senior... were you actually counting how many times she climaxed?.... You... you have quite unique sexual tastes...”
“It just happened. But you’re saying even that wasn't enough?”
“...Ahem! It’s highly likely. If the pleasure on the ‘scales’ had been sufficient, the ‘Balance Demon’ would have vanished just like I told you. But don’t be too disappointed. Either way, succeeding in an ‘exorcism’ at all is a massive achievement. But Senior...?”
“Yeah, Elfriede.”
“Um.. sorry, but... did she really climax 100 times? Is there a chance you miscounted...”
“No. I’m certain.”
There was no way I miscounted.
Estelle’s climax count was something the Spectators had informed me of.
“Heh... Well then, the situation isn't as good as I thought.”
Elfriede muttered, her playful expression suddenly vanishing.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Senior, you mentioned before that a girl named Delphicia was severely injured and fell into a coma, right?”
“...I did. She’s regained consciousness now, though.”
Like Estelle, Delphicia hadn't returned to school yet, but I was told she had fortunately woken up on the day the exorcism succeeded.
“Listen carefully, Senior. From the information we have, we can conclude two things. First, Estelle’s soul is incredibly valuable.”
“...Why?”
“Even though she borrowed power from the ‘Balance Demon’—power strong enough to put someone in a coma, even if she didn't intend to—Estelle didn't lose that much of her soul. From her pelvis to her navel... what is that, maybe an inch? I thought it was because the ‘Balance Demon’ had grown weak.”
Rustle—
As Elfriede shook her head, her twin tails fluttered, and the scent of mint drifted to my nose.
“But I was wrong. Even after experiencing the immense pleasure of 100 climaxes, she only got back about an inch. If the ‘Balance Demon’ had been too weak to take the soul, Estelle would have gotten her entire soul back.”
“...And?”
“In the end, it means one inch of Estelle’s soul is worth one human in a coma, or 100 climaxes.”
Elfriede’s lingering tone gave me a sense of unease.
“If that’s the case... what exactly did Estelle obtain from the demon by sacrificing half of such a valuable soul?”
“....”
Elfriede’s question left me feeling suffocated.
It was because I could take a guess at what Estelle had wished for, even at the cost of giving both her legs to the ‘Balance Demon.’
“Well, Senior... the situation isn't exactly positive, but don’t suffer too much. I told you, didn't I? I’m a Genius Beauty High Elf. When you feel like you’re completely stuck and have no way out, come to me. I’ll help you with everything I’ve got then. Of course, it won't be easy, and I’ll expect a fair price.”
“What price?”
Slide—
Elfriede crossed her legs and spoke with a devilish smile.
“Your life, Senior.”
ㄴJusticeMagicalGirl■: Um...
As I was walking down the hallway, I suddenly received a message from Laplace.
ㄴJusticeMagicalGirl■: It’s presumptuous for an onahole-bitch to say this, and I apologize, but...
ㄴJusticeMagicalGirl■: If it’s alright, could you stop by the Disciplinary Committee room for a moment?
ㄴJusticeMagicalGirl■: There’s something I’d like to tell you...
I didn't know if the timing was good or bad...
Even if she hadn't asked, I was already on my way to the Disciplinary Committee room.
Creeak—
“Oh! If it isn't the ‘Special Inspector.’ I feel as though we are reuniting after an eternity!”
“Right~ It’s been a while~ Ian~”
Instead of replying to Laplace, I entered the room, where Garou and Kuoli greeted me warmly.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately... By the way, I don’t see Anya today either. Is she absent again?”
“No. She was here for a bit earlier.”
“Really?”
“Ah~ that’s right~ Ian~ what did you do~ to Anya~? She’s been acting a bit strange~”
“What do you mean, what did I do? I didn't do anything.”
“Really~?”
“Really.”
Gaur narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but I truly hadn't done anything.
Ever since the ‘Flower Perfume’ incident, every time I met Anya, she would scream at me to stay away and run away, so we hadn't even had a proper conversation.
“Besides, Anya’s always been a bit strange.”
“Hahaha~ true~ Anya is strange~”
“Correct! Anya is strange!”
“Anyway, where’s the Head?”
“She’s in the Department Head's Office. Is it... another interview?”
“Yeah, she said she had something to say regarding my work as the Special Inspector.”
Kuoli shuddered as he spoke.
“I suppose I should expect nothing less from the ‘Special Inspector.’ Truly impressive. To have interviews with the Head so often... a normal person’s mind would have broken by now.”
“Hmm. Is it that bad?”
“Fufufu!... The fact that you can even ask that proves you are not ‘normal.’ Truly, you are the ‘Chosen One’!”
“Sure. I’ll be sure to tell the Head you said that.”
“What? P-please don’t! I’ll be k-killed!!”
I gave the panicked Kuoli a bright smile and knocked on the door of the office.
“Head. It’s Ian.”
“Enter.”
Creeak—
“....”
Sitting in her chair with a solemn expression and arms crossed, looking up at me, Laplace exuded a level of dignity befitting an Imperial Princess.
However...
Click— Thud!
“Y-you’ve come, Master Ian...”
The moment the door locked, the Imperial Princess vanished, and a single, submissive onahole appeared.
