The Butler's Sacrifice and Amplification (2)
The Butler's Sacrifice and Amplification (2)
#
Rebecca, wearing only her underwear, let her arms hang limp. Her face was steeped in deep revulsion.
Yeah. Objectively, what I was saying probably sounded close to nonsense. Even so, I thought I'd done you all a considerable favor, yet she was looking at me as though I were repulsive garbage.
Still, if I looked away from her face, the rest was more than acceptable... Fine. I would admit what had to be admitted. A body that aroused me merely by being there stood before me. She wore thin black lace underwear. On the outside she looked like a sharp assassin butler, yet this was what she wore underneath.
And above all, a substantial chest. When she'd taken off her butler's jacket and the tight shirt underneath had been revealed, I'd been shocked. Though not as much as Reni.
Come to think of it, that was what Reni had said. Don't cross the line.
I'd intended to finish with emotionless, businesslike sex, but with a body like this in front of me, I could not keep my heart from stirring.
...Fine. This one needed to be taught a little lesson. I'd bestowed a favor on them, and that was the look I got.
An opportunity like this probably wouldn't come again, so tonight I'd break her so thoroughly that she would never dare glare at me that way again.
Having made up my mind, I reached out a hand toward Rebecca's chest...
-Crack.
"Kwaaaagh!"
"Ah, my apologies. My hand slipped."
"Guhk! If you're sorry, then let go! I said let go!"
"..."
This damned butler woman had grabbed my hand and bent it backward just like that! A little more and it would've snapped. Shit! What the hell kind of strength did she have?
"Hup."
[Name: Rebecca Berman]
[Class: Butler / ???]
[Stats ▼]
[Level: ???]
[Life Force: ??? / ???]
[Mana: ??? / ???]
[Stamina: ???]
[Mind: ???]
[Strength: ???]
[Agility: ???]
[Charm: ???]
I opened Rebecca's Status Window and could only stare in shock. What the hell was this? How high did someone's level have to be for everything to appear like that? If she genuinely took offense, would I die?
"What should I do now?"
Rebecca was still just staring at me with contemptuous eyes.
...I needed to adjust my strategy. If I reached out carelessly, she would bend my arm again, so I would persuade her with words like a civilized man. She would end up broken anyway, so a slight detour did not matter. Soft and hard tactics, trickery, and sheer stubborn patience—that was the strategy.
"Hoo... Look. Rebecca."
I shook out my wrist to dispel the pain and spoke calmly.
"I know that, objectively speaking, I sound as though I'm talking complete nonsense. But behaving this uncooperatively only hurts you. You know that, don’t you?"
"..."
"More than anything, I have nothing to gain by lying to you. There's no reason for me to cling to a client who can't even properly give quest rewards in the first place, is there?"
At those words, Rebecca's face twisted menacingly.
"Nothing to gain... Are you saying Lady Niniel has no value? What in the...!"
This damned woman! Just how did you twist that around in your head to get that?! Was this that distorted loyalty thing or whatever it was? But with that attitude, just what did she want me to do?
"Then what would you have me do? Should I quit?"
At that, Rebecca’s gaze shifted uneasily. She had objected, but she had no solution of her own.
"..."
"..."
Silence flowed. Tch. Fine. Come to think of it, she was a loyal retainer who'd even throw away her own life later on, so of course she'd be furious if an outsider like me suddenly told her to hand over her mistress's body. I needed to build a little more trust, but how should I...
...Should I throw that out there.
"Rebecca. Do you happen to know anything about Naias?"
Rebecca flinched at the word Naias. The face that had looked at me like I was something disgusting shifted to a blank expression. This woman had no talent for hiding her expressions either.
Asking about a mere ice spirit wasn't reason enough to make a face like that. I'd been right after all.
"I'll tell you ahead of time, that's useless."
"...I don't know what you're talking about."
"Feigning ignorance won't do you any good."
The enormous glass tube in Ariel's laboratory, big enough for a person to enter. And the books related to spirits I'd seen on the bookshelf. This mistress and servant had ultimately been planning to use Naias to freeze Niniel as a last resort.
When I stated my guess, alarm rose on Rebecca's face.
"...Did Lady Ariel tell you?"
"No. If you'd like, you can go ask her right now."
"..."
"How did I know? I can't tell you that. You wouldn't believe it if I did anyway. In any case, I'm telling you this method exists because I know that's going to end in failure. Do you think I have a hobby of coercing people into doing that sort of thing?"
Rebecca bit her lip. Having all her cards exposed and then being told they were useless must have been a shock. She probably knew herself that it was dangerous. I had merely driven the point home.
And then I'd proposed another method, and she'd been picking a fight with me over every single little thing about it.
"...I was discourteous."
So that was the best you could manage. I'd let it pass for now. I could make you repay the rest with your body.
"Good. I don't want to do it multiple times with someone who hates me either. Let's just end it in one go."
"...Understood. Then what should I do now?"
Rebecca stood still, her arms hanging limp. Her body was lewd, but her attitude still had no trace of sex appeal whatsoever. Stiff, like a wooden log... Could it be?
"Uh, um. R-Rebecca."
"What is it."
"D-do you, by any chance, have no... experience?"
"...I have as much knowledge as is necessary."
Rebecca answered without expression, but I had a feeling I knew.
This one... was a virgin. When she'd told me to test it on her, I'd thought she must have a lot of experience, but that wasn't it either. No wonder she'd been more hostile than necessary.
But a virgin, though. Hmm. A virgin.
"What's so funny?"
"Ah, no. It's nothing. Doing it standing is hard, so lie down on the bed."
"...Fine."
Rebecca got on the bed like that and began imitating a log.
#
Rebecca, maybe from nerves, kept her toes tightly curled and just stared at the ceiling.
I couldn't help but get excited at the sight. Another virgin blossom was being plucked by my hand. It felt like my karma was piling up more and more.
But... yeah. Only for today. I brought my hand to Rebecca's chest as planned.
-Plap.
"What is it now."
"Isn't this amplification possible just by making contact?"
Come to think of it, I hadn't explained properly. It was embarrassing to say it outright, but it couldn't be helped. This one didn't seem like she'd accept it unless I spelled it out exactly.
"Th-the amplification effect changes according to the degree of physical intimacy. A simple shoulder massage produces only a low level of amplification, but the more intimate the contact becomes, the higher the amplification level rises."
Grind. A chilling sound of teeth grinding.
"...Prove it. I still cannot fully trust you."
"Yeah? Sure, let's."
Guess I'll have to melt her down nice and sticky, starting from a massage.
"Then lie face down."
"..."
Rebecca let her arms droop down and turned around at my words. Her posture was similar to a corpse, but her whole body was full of tension. Tch. Taking a virgin like this, it was exciting and pitiful at the same time. What would the girls say if they knew I'd taken this one's virginity?
With complicated feelings of many kinds set aside in a corner of my chest, I climbed right onto Rebecca's back and placed my hands on the nape of her neck.
"Kuhk...!"
A flinch, and a moan leaked from Rebecca. I placed four fingers lightly on her trapezius muscles, applied Touch of Pleasure lightly, and started by slowly stroking her.
"..."
Goosebumps rose on Rebecca's body. As I was savoring the risen downy hair, I gradually increased the intensity of my hands, and Rebecca gritted her teeth.
"Guhk...!"
"If you want to make sounds, make them. It's natural."
"I-I’m fine... ngh...!"
"Holding it in won't do you any good."
As I said that, I moved my hands down and stroked the area around Rebecca’s shoulder blades.
I moved my hands here and there, kneading diligently, but Rebecca's shoulders were still solidly stiff.
"Are you tense? Or are you usually this overworked? Come to think of it, you said you managed the mansion alone, didn't you?"
"...Th-this much is... nothing... Guhhnk!"
"Hmm..."
Her body wasn't just stiff from simple tension. She'd definitely accumulated fatigue.
Come to think of it, just why was she so loyal to the elf sisters? She was doing this, literally offering her body and all.
"Kuh-huhk... A-are you not done yet..."
Rebecca pressed me for progress in a suppressed voice. But...
"No, I want to get this over with quickly too, but it does not seem to be working because your body is too stiff."
This much had been enough to apply a buff to Reni, but with Rebecca, it seemed to do nothing beyond relieving fatigue. I'd have to raise the intensity a little.
"Lift your arms a bit."
"Guhk..."
"You want this over quickly too, don't you? Hurry up."
"..."
At my urging, Rebecca hesitantly lifted her arms. Then, beneath them, the sides of her breasts came into view, pressed against her body, looking as if they were about to escape the brassiere.
They looked so taut that a poke might make them burst.
This was nice. I ought to try this on my girls later too.
I stored this scene away in a corner of my memory, then began to fondle Rebecca's armpits.
"..."
A rustling sound came, and when I looked at her face, Rebecca had stuffed the blanket into her mouth. Shame and humiliation. If it had been my girls, I'd have snatched it away immediately, but I just let it be. Yeah. Let's see how long she could endure.
I stroked the mounds of her armpits, then pressed the hollow areas in alternation.
"...!..."
Rebecca's nasal breathing began to grow a little rougher. The armpit is a place where many nerves gather. How long could she hold out like that?
Sure enough, I felt some movement down by her legs, and when I looked down, her butt was gradually lifting up into the air.
Good, then it was gradually time to...
I used Pleasure and Sensitivity Enhancement simultaneously and lightly swept upward through her armpit.
"Hnnghup!"
-Ding!
[Holy Buff]
[Target: Rebecca Berman]
[Buff Grade: D]
[Details: Click to open ▶]
[Until Buff Ends: 15:59:40]
Good. It applied properly.
I tapped the back of Rebecca's neck with the back of my hand to get her attention.
"It's amplified. Check it. You can tell too, right?"
"Hoo... Yes..."
Rebecca lifted her torso just like that, then froze, as if time had stopped. Yeah. Surprised, right?
"This is..."
"How about it. You get that it's not a lie, right?"
"...It certainly is."
"Don't you have anything else to say besides that?"
"...I apologize for my discourtesy up to now."
"Yeah."
Rebecca apologized without even looking at me, her eyes still fixed on the bed. But even from behind, I could tell her face had turned bright red.
"Then I'll continue. Your chest is next. Take off your bra."
"W-wait..."
"What?"
Rebecca spoke with her face still half-buried in the bed. But her voice was trembling, a different reaction from before.
"D-do you absolutely... have to do the chest?"
What the hell was she going on about at this point.
"No, I told you earlier, the amplification effect changes based on intensity. Didn't you tell me to prove what I said?"
"..."
Rebecca was silent.
"Then where should I do it instead? Just go straight to sex? Or are you going to take it off?"
"...I-is it truly necessary to take it off...?"
Why was she suddenly sounding so timid? Fine. People did have sex without fully undressing. I'd just accept that.
"Fine. Then lie face down."
"...Kuhk... Huhg?!"
You really are exhausting in so many ways. Thinking that, I slipped a hand inside her brassiere. And then, I realized why Rebecca had tried not to take it off, and why she'd reacted so sensitively when I tried to touch her chest.
This one...
Her nipples were inverted...
