The Love Dragon's Reckless Pact
The price for acting so arrogant—gulp…! Chuuup♥ As Eros tightened her throat, something round slid into my mouth. It flowed in as naturally as water. I felt its smooth surface against my tongue. The sensation reminded me of a large spherical bead. It was like holding a jawbreaker in my mouth. But it had no flavor at all. It was simply warm and sticky. This spherical object was slowly being pushed deeper by Eros’s power.
—Roll, roll……
That was when it finally slipped completely inside my mouth, regardless of my will.
—Ding!
The conditional empathy target has proposed a Love Pact.
‘……?!’
So this was Eros’s Dragon Heart. Honestly, having my lips stolen or suddenly being offered a Love Pact wasn’t all that surprising—I’d already experienced something similar once before. Still, the current situation was a little different.
‘What, what the hell? Does this even make sense? We haven’t even succeeded at empathy yet, and her favorability is only at the blind trust stage, so how……?!’
It defied common sense. How could she propose a Love Pact when we hadn’t even met the empathy conditions? At first I thought the system had glitched. The order was completely messed up. After all, a dragon pact or Love Pact was a special contract permitted only to those who had reached “empathy target” status or higher. Two prerequisites were already broken. On top of that, Eros had been acting completely on her own whim—from suspending conditional empathy to the system alerts themselves. Maybe the system was influenced by the personality of the empathy target? Just like Eros’s usual arbitrary nature.
‘But the pact hasn’t been finalized yet. Before things get more complicated, I need to—’
“Teacher…? Why have you been making that pathetic face for a while now?”
“Mmmph……?”
While I was thinking with Eros’s Dragon Heart still in my mouth, her voice reached me. Her face was currently hidden behind the system message.
“Stop making that dazed expression… and hurry up and swallow my heart-♥”
“Puhah…! E-Eros?”
“Huh-? M-My Dragon Heart……?!”
I pushed the Dragon Heart I had been holding out of my mouth and opened it. I had no intention of obediently swallowing it.
“How are you able to materialize your Dragon Heart? It shouldn’t be an easy thing to do……”
I spat Eros’s Dragon Heart out beneath my chin for a moment and asked. It looked like a marble with a deep pink glow.
“H-How rude…! Spitting out my precious Dragon Heart like that-!!!”
Eros bristled at my action. As expected, she was more concerned about her Dragon Heart than my question. She probably felt her sincerity had been ignored.
—Snatch!
Ignoring my question entirely, she picked up the Dragon Heart again. Then she put it back into her mouth and……
“—Mmph? Gulp…!”
She kissed me again and forcibly pushed the Dragon Heart inside. Deep into my throat. She used her tongue like she was kissing to force it in. Of course I tried desperately to resist, but she pushed so aggressively……
—Gulp…!
It slid naturally down my windpipe and was swallowed in an instant.
“Kehk…? Cough, cough!”
A sudden foreign sensation triggered a coughing fit. At the same time I felt the urge to retch, but the Dragon Heart had already been properly swallowed and I couldn’t spit it back out. It was a done deal.
Anyway, the moment that unexpected insertion of the Dragon Heart ended……
—Ding!
You have formed a Love Pact with the empathy target!
You will receive a portion of the empathy target’s attribute abilities and lifespan.
Neglecting the target with whom you have formed a Love Pact……
‘Haa…? What the hell?’
The familiar system message appeared again. In the end, the Love Pact had been established regardless of my will. I thought Eros had simply forced it through recklessly, but I never imagined the pact would be completed this way. We hadn’t even succeeded at conditional empathy yet. I had desperately hoped it was just a simple bug……
Anyway, what happens to me now? And if the other girls find out about this……
‘Will I even be able to survive this?’
—Swish…!
Startled, I quickly dismissed the system windows. I had already seen the same content when I formed a Love Pact with Sofia, so there was no need to read it again.
“Heheheh-♪ Teacher is mine now…♡”
Once all the windows disappeared, Eros came into view. Her face was filled with superiority, her nose held high. She rolled her violet eyes and moved her lips slightly.
“How on earth did you……?”
“You probably don’t know, but the Love Pact was something my clan created, you know?”
“??!!”
“And it’s also our clan’s specialty. The problem was that there just wasn’t anyone worth forming a pact with until now.”
“Th-That so……?”
It seemed the Love Clan could form a Love Pact regardless of favorability level. Being able to form a Love Pact without any relation to favorability…… Maybe the Love Clan’s bloodline itself was just inherently arbitrary.
“Oho~!? What’s with that face? Don’t tell me you’re dissatisfied about forming a pact with me-?! Right now it’s basically the same as me saving your life!”
When I showed a stiff expression, Eros flared up and shouted. Talk about flipping the script. Who was the one who should be shouting here? It was almost like the “Want to greet a customer?” situation.
“Saving my life……? What do you mean by that—!”
Just as I was about to retort that it was nonsense—
—Ding!
Due to the influence of the new Dragon Heart (Attribute - Love), you have been freed from the status ailment: Weakness.
Physical functions are gradually returning.
The Love Pact currently formed is still in an unstable state.
To properly complete the incomplete Love Pact, you must perfectly fulfill the conditional empathy you previously accepted.
Warning: If conditional empathy fails due to the penalty of the unstable Love Pact, your life may be in danger. Please be cautious.
“……?”
This was far more serious than nonsense. Was this what it felt like to have the rug pulled out from under you? I was so dumbfounded I couldn’t even speak. It was fortunate that the weakness had been lifted, but suddenly having my life held hostage? And without my consent, no less.
“Puhuhut♡ How is it? Thanks to my love energy, don’t you feel vitality surging through every part of your body~?”
Eros continued with her usual playful voice and attitude.
—Rub, rub…♡
She wore an extremely mischievous expression and pressed her body even closer to mine. Her chest rubbed against my abdomen, her small, dainty fingers touched my chest, and her thighs and inner calves pressed against my groin……
—Twitch!
In an instant, strength flooded both my body and mind. It was the kind of awakening that cleared the head in multiple ways. The sluggish, listless energy vanished, replaced by a surging sense of vigor and hot blood rushing through my entire body.
“Uwaah?! T-Teacher…? You’re suddenly overflowing with energy?”
Thanks to Eros, vitality was surging through me. It felt like the cold symptoms had fled in a single moment. Power and energy boiled over explosively. It was like waking up refreshed in the morning. The part below my upper body was the first to stretch awake. So much so that the thick blanket quivered.
“A-Amazing-♡ It was clearly pretty small just a moment ago? I-Is this what a male is like?!”
“You cheeky little brat, you’ve been pushing your luck……”
“Huh? Teacher? What did you just say to me—?”
—Grab!
With my energy fully restored, I firmly seized both of Eros’s horns with my hands as she continued her arrogant chatter from on top of me.
“Hgyaaaaaaaah-?! Wh-What are you doing……♥”
“Eros, it seems you need to be punished for teasing an adult.”
“Haat? D-Did Teacher really recover?”
Sonya, who had been quietly watching from the side, showed a startled expression at my sudden change. Her face was a mix of surprise and bewilderment.
“Sonya? Could you turn around for a moment, close your eyes, and cover your ears with both hands?”
“N-Neet…? Wh-Why all of a sudden?!”
“As the dorm supervisor, I’m going to give her a stern lecture. Normally this wouldn’t be possible given my position, but…… Could you look the other way for a moment, Sonya?”
No matter how much I wanted to properly educate her, I couldn’t let my junior see something so explicit. At the very least, I had to maintain some decency.
“Aaat? I-If that’s the case… I understand……!”
“Thank you for understanding, Sonya. I’ll be done quickly, so please don’t look back.”
I turned the innocent Sonya around with some plausible excuse. I made her block both her sight and hearing.
—Press…!
After taking those measures, I gripped Eros’s horns even more firmly. Then I completely sat up. I needed to switch positions with Eros. I immediately laid her down on the bed. I kept holding her horns so she couldn’t resist anymore.
“Higuk-♡ L-Let go of them…! If you grab my horns so roughly, I-I’ll……♥”
Eros was still groaning. She looked pitiful, like a puppy with its leash tightly held. It was a good thing I had learned her weakness during the day. I was going to pay her back for everything this time.
“Unfortunately, I can’t let go. You need to pay the price for acting so arrogant toward an adult all this time.”
“Hueet…? Th-That’s……? Even though I helped you recover, this is too much-♡”
“I’m grateful that I regained my energy thanks to you, but you handed it over without even asking my opinion, didn’t you? At the very least, you should have gotten my consent? And on top of that, a Love Pact that holds my life hostage……”
“Haat, please be gentler with my horns……”
“It would be better if you stayed still.”
—Press…!
I pulled Eros’s horns and met her eyes.
“Huuu……! L-Let go-♡ You short-lived species who doesn’t know gratitude…!”
Her arrogant mouth was still alive, but her momentum had clearly diminished compared to before. Her once haughty and playful eyes had drooped downward, giving her a rather docile expression.
“I’m going to reject this one-sided pact.”
“Hueet…?!”
“I’ll return Eros’s Dragon Heart to you.”
“Th-That’s—Hauup……?!”
—Smooch…!
I pulled her horns and pressed my lips against Eros’s. Now that the status ailment was gone, I was determined to return her Dragon Heart no matter what.
