Pinya's Surrender
Pinya remembered that her first meeting with Kahan happened when he was very, very young.
“Pinya. This child is my son.”
“Oh my… sturdy bones, and he’ll grow up strong. He might even claim the title of the first-ever Grand Warrior and Grand Sorcerer.”
“Hahahaha! I’d love that!”
His parents had come to her seeking blessings. They’d traveled across every northern tribe, collecting every star’s blessing they could for Kahan.
“Huff… huff… damn it… finally awake! Hey! Old hag Pinya! You ancient shaman! Get out here right now!”
Why is this so terrifying…!!
She had lived for countless years, yet the number of real battles she’d fought could be counted on one hand. And those were all from her youth. Her last fight was when she settled on this mountain—two hundred years ago. Once she became a Grand Sorcerer, she devoted herself entirely to barrier arts, focusing only on refining her technical skills.
But Pinya was still a Grand Sorcerer. Even if she had reached that rank at fifteen and become a sixth-rank Grand Warrior at sixteen, even if the boy had shattered every barrier she’d spent three hundred years building to reach her paradise…!
I’m scared…!!
How could she have known that a casual remark would become reality? A fifteen-year-old Grand Sorcerer who became a Grand Warrior at sixteen and now sought to destroy the paradise she had created. What a vile little brat.
Still, clinging to the last shred of her pride as a Grand Sorcerer, she made a grand entrance before him.
“Oh my… quite talented for a whelp—kyaa?!”
“Hehehe… come here!”
The moment Kahan spotted her, he blinked once, then charged forward with a delighted grin. In the end, the sixteen-year-old giant—already two meters tall—caught her. For a full forty-eight hours she wasn’t even allowed to use the bathroom. Everything was handled with shamanic arts while she remained trapped in his arms, being relentlessly petted. He even discovered her greatest weakness: ticklishness. It was a deeply humiliating first encounter.
“Sob… sob… please, stop…”
“Fine. Admit defeat already!”
“I lost… Pinya has lost!”
“Weak! Say it louder!”
“Hwaaaaah… I lost… Pinya lost to a sixteen-year-old Kahan! I’m completely defeated! Please spare meeee!”
Kahan’s parents, who had come to rescue her, simply looked at each other. They nodded, exchanged knowing glances, nodded again, and left without a word.
Only after crying herself into exhaustion and fainting from Kahan’s torment did she finally escape that hell.
The third meeting came when he brought a little girl named Luca. Pinya had been peacefully honing her shamanic skills, relieved that he no longer visited, when he suddenly appeared and declared he was going to save the child offered as a sacrifice. He was heading off to fight the White Calamity—one of the northern disasters, and among the highest-ranked. She desperately tried to stop him, but he said his parents had given permission and left anyway. Before departing, he told her to make sure the girl never left the barrier, then went alone to face the White Calamity.
“Haa… how about it? I’m a man of my word! Come here, Luca!”
“Hwaaaaah!”
Covered in blood and battered, Kahan returned. Luca burst into tears at the sight. Even Pinya felt her eyes grow moist at the heartwarming scene.
However, the very next day after waking up, he thanked her for protecting Luca and proceeded to spend an entire week inside the barrier—eating, sleeping, and relentlessly petting her. The nerve of that man, repaying kindness with torment…!
“Do you know about the Elixir of Causality? I really need it…”
“What kind of trouble are you planning now…”
“What?”
“Eek…! Ah! I’ll go get it right away! Hehe…”
In the end, to escape Kahan, she was forced to abandon the sanctuary she had spent astronomical amounts of time and wealth constructing. She barely managed to obtain the Elixir of Causality from the witches, in exchange for working at the academy for three whole years.
“Phew… once I deliver this, I just need to endure three years and I’ll be free!”
But then—why was a Grand Warrior and Grand Sorcerer like Kahan coming to the academy?! She despaired. And during the delivery, she had even shown him her naked body! She had never shown herself to any man before. Not even her father. This was truly the first time.
That day, she cried her heart out in despair.
“Hiiiing… please… please let me escape from here!”
And now, after wandering this forest for ten hours in nothing but her underwear, she was at her limit. If she missed tomorrow’s class…
“Kyaah… absolutely not… my identity might get exposed! I can’t let that happen!”
If her identity were discovered, she would become his assistant for a hundred years as payment for the elixir. She had been certain she wouldn’t be found out. If only Kahan hadn’t been here! Even though he had discovered her, it was because he was a monster. The academy staff still hadn’t noticed, so it should be fine. The contract only required her to fulfill the professor role without incident.
“Eeeeng… please! Pleeease! Stop! Stop… I’ll grant your wish! A wish! Just one!”
“…One?”
After ten hours of wailing, a reply finally came.
There were barriers within barriers. Pinya, the master of barriers, had obviously tried. But the problem was that Kahan’s mana kept flooding in during construction, destroying them. No barrier could be maintained here. Unless one was a transcendent being above, no one could wield power in this place.
Shiver shiver shiver
A monster… he’s a monster… I can never escape…
He had even surpassed her in barrier arts. After hundreds of years of research and training!
Tears she had already shed poured out again from the sheer unfairness.
Thud
“…Ten! Ten wishes!”
“Okay. Pass.”
Whoosh
The space distorted, and the forest returned to normal.
Step step
From behind a tree, the two-meter giant slowly approached. Kahan, with his massive muscles and sun-tanned skin, walked toward her. Grin.
“Ten. I’ll remember that.”
Shiver shiver shiver…
This wasn’t from fear. She was just cold because she was practically naked. Pinya convinced herself of this and nodded.
***
Was that a bit too much…?
But she kept bursting into tears in the middle, and she was so adorable I couldn’t hold back… How could I resist! It’s not even illegal loli. Tormenting this ancient woman was… so much fun!
“Hic… hic… hiccup!”
She must have been through so much—her face was streaked with tears. When I reached out my hand, Pinya tried to stand by grabbing it. Thud. After walking outside all day for the first time in who knows how long, her legs had no strength left. On top of that, the tension had drained away completely, so she couldn’t muster any power and simply collapsed. I ended up carrying her on my back.
“P-put on a robe and carry me… eek! N-no, it’s fine… I’m okay…”
“Right?”
In the end, Pinya had no choice but to be carried in my arms while wearing the extremely revealing outfit I had personally chosen.
Finally feeling relieved that she had survived, Pinya remained nestled in my embrace. But once we left this forest…
“W-wait… this is inside the academy, so… no… nooo…?”
Grin.
Kahan walked straight out of the forest without hesitation. Looking up, the sun was shining brightly—it seemed the illusion array even distorted the perceived time. Which meant she was walking outside in broad daylight wearing nothing but underwear… no, basically naked!
She’s probably thinking that right now.
One look at Pinya’s pale face told me everything. Then she frantically buried her face in my chest… nice! I had already attached illusion talismans so only I could see her, and even my own face was plain enough to be forgotten. I had even layered a memory-erasing talisman just in case. I didn’t want anyone else seeing Pinya’s body, so I had prepared ten layers of insurance…
I’m not saying a word.
Did I really seem that evil? I always thought I was pretty nice… but now I had zero desire to tell her the truth. Just look at this delicate, trembling frame. Absolutely delicious.
As we left the forest, Pinya kept her eyes tightly shut and trembled.
“Open your eyes. Quickly. Look over there.”
“Hiiiing… don’t do this… stop…”
“I said look. Now!”
Flash
“Kyaaaaaaaah! Why are you doing this to me… whyyyyy!”
Having reached enlightenment, Pinya flailed wildly while being held up. Eventually, with her limbs dangling limply, she lifted her head.
“??”
“Ta-da. No one recognizes you, right?”
“Eh…?”
“Illusion talismans, soundproofing talismans… I did all this for our Pinya! How is it?”
“Sob… hic… hwaaaaaah! I hate you! I hate youuuu!”
Thud thud
Pinya pounded her fists against my chest. Ah… this is healing. Is this what a cat punch feels like? Mmm… so nice. Thinking this, I carried the sobbing Pinya—who eventually cried herself to sleep in my arms—into her office. Naturally, I destroyed every single barrier she had meticulously set up for security before entering.
“There we go… sleep well.”
“S-save me… s-stop…”
After laying Pinya on the bed, I infused mana to restore the barriers. My steps felt much lighter. Ah! Refreshing! Incidentally, I had no classes after this, but playing with Pinya made the time fly by. It was so much fun.
“Oh! Found Kahan!”
“It’s Luca!”
Luca came running toward me, apparently just finished with class. She hugged me tightly! She used to worry about rumors, but now she didn’t seem to care at all.
“Oh? The girl behind you is the one from the cafeteria, right?”
“She’s in the vanguard department too? So they hang out together!”
“Really? Hello!”
After being stuck with Luca all day, the female student had apparently become her slave. Now turned into Luca’s doll, she greeted me.
“Hello…! Wow… what an intense siscon and bracon… ehehehe…”
What on earth had Luca told her…
“Alright! Let’s go! See you tomorrow!”
“We even bathed together… hehe… ah! See you tomorrow…!”
At Luca’s greeting, the girl suddenly changed her demeanor. Luca, now down from my arms, grabbed my hand and demanded meat.
“Yeah, yeah. What do you want to eat?”
“The place we went with the others last time!”
“Got it. Let’s go to the place with the pork soup you like.”
“Eek…! Meat! Buy me meat!”
“Extra-large pork soup. How about it.”
“…Deal.”
After finishing negotiations, Luca and I went to eat thirty servings of extra-large pork soup before returning to the dorm.
“Wanna sleep together tonight?”
“Deal.”
The next day, Hanna arrived to wake Kahan and could only clutch her head. Kahan, who normally slept in just his underwear. And Luca, who slept completely naked because she got hot. Seeing the two of them tangled together in the large bed, tears welled up in Hanna’s eyes.
“What sin did I commit to deserve this…”
