The Half-Elf's Submission
**
51. “Ugh... my thighs are hurting so much...”
“Did it hurt that badly?”
“You, you made your posture like that, so your muscles...”
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll give you a massage. Turn around.”
Eloise pouted, sighed deeply, and lay facedown on the bed. I carefully climbed onto her body, starting from her back and slowly working my way down, kneading her muscles with care.
“Haa... there, that spot feels amazing.”
“Really? Maybe I’ve picked up some technique after practicing a few times.”
With extra pressure on my fingertips, I dug into the knots of her muscles, and a cute moan escaped Eloise’s lips.
Days had passed since I left my goods at the Black Market, and now I was cycling between my roommate Eloise and library assistant Maila, mixing with both of them in turn.
Of course, to raise my hypnosis level, I was daily hypnotizing different students and collecting panties as a side bonus.
Yet despite all my effort, the level still hadn’t risen.
Yeah, right. It’s not like it’s something that levels up in just a few days.

System real-time update in progress...
Of course, with the number of targets now doubled, the things I could hypnotize had increased, and I found myself enjoying it more than ever.
Next time, I’ll try making them ask each other to suck each other’s cunts, out of the blue.
As I plotted my lewd little schemes in my mind, the image of melted Eloise came into my view.
“Uuuuu... why are you so good at this kind of thing...”
“Excuse me, I consider myself multi-talented.”
Of course, I was secretly amazed at how naturally talented I had become at massage.
How should I put it? Perhaps it was because I had been mingling with Eloise’s body and thus knew hers so intimately.
I could tell at a glance how soft her skin was and how knotted her muscles were.
Anyway, after soothing the melted Eloise with my massage, I spoke to her.
“By the way, Eloise, you said you were going to the Black Market with Chloe today, right?”
“Yeah... probably by now the elixir will be ready.”
“Hmm, then I should head there in the evening.”
“Oh, you also asked me to make a mild potion for you.”
Eloise explained that she and Chloe were picking up the elixir they had placed an order for in the morning.
So it seemed time to execute my own plans.
“Then, let’s go to the library first.”
“Are you going to that girl named Maila?”
“Yeah, of course. I’ll have something to give her.”
I planned to offer her some of the herbs I had obtained from the Black Market. And of course, a little sex as well.
Perhaps reading my thoughts, Eloise’s face grew even poutier.
I couldn’t help smiling at the sight.
“Are you jealous of Eloise?”
“Eek! Who said that?!”
“Aww, Eloise is so cute. Why were you so mean back then?”
I pulled her into my arms and rolled around on the bed. Eloise punched my arm weakly as if her breath was cut off, but eventually she hugged me back with no strength left, and we tumbled across the wide mattress.
“Ah, no. Just once more.”
“No, I should prepare myself soon...”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s your own fault for getting all worked up, Eloise.”
After teasing her naked body one last time, I massaged her stomach which had been pulled tight until the pain eased, then let her go.
I myself rolled around in the bed for a while after she left, took a light shower, gathered the herb box and mask from the room, and headed toward the library.
My plan was to give Maila the gift, then immediately head to the Black Market.
***
...So he came here to give me this?
“Yeah, I happened to get it cheaply. Maila, it’s about time you did some practice, right? It would help if you use it.”
It was a secret that I had forgotten to deliver it earlier.
The library wasn’t empty, and following Maila’s guidance, we were alone together in the staff lounge.
Maila stared blankly at the box I gave her as a gift, then slowly opened it.
“This is...?”
“It’s pretty good for reports or experiments, isn’t it?”
She gazed at the herb that had hardened like a piece of glass no bigger than my palm and sighed in admiration.
“It’s crystal grass. Its condition is excellent...”
“Um... it’s not that expensive. I thought it might help, though.”
Crystal grass honestly wasn’t that valuable. Nobles with money could easily obtain it.
Still, because it was an item bought at auction, its condition was among the best of its kind.
Just as I was feeling a bit awkward about Maila’s unexpectedly positive reaction, boom—
“Eh.”
Maila had already climbed into my arms.
Seeing her squeeze me tightly, I was more surprised than her.
And as I was still stunned for a moment, I hugged her back and gently patted her on the back.
While we stayed embraced in the lounge, Maila squirmed, then pressed her face close to my ear and whispered carefully.
“Master... my lower part is getting hot...”
“Hah...”
The words from that cute and lewd Maila sent strength into my arm wrapped around her.
“M-Master?”
“Shh. People might hear.”
I lifted Maila with both arms and placed her on the table that was already there in the lounge, then began unbuttoning her shirt one by one.
“Ugh...”
Seeing my actions, Maila wore a seductive smile and started taking off her own lower garment.
Since we had plenty of time, I decided to enjoy myself with Maila before heading to the Black Market.
***
Finally, it’s almost evening... I’m moving now.
Ever since last night when I mixed with Eloise, and again this morning, and a few rounds with Maila around noon, my body felt a bit stiff. I stretched and soothed myself.
I was slightly hungry, so I looked around the shops inside the Black Market, but since it was evening, most were taverns.
I can’t drink alone at the Black Market tavern.
I clicked my tongue once, then walked toward the shop where the half-elf lived.
The evening streets were slightly empty, with most merchants sorting their goods while wearing masks.
And as I passed those merchants, I saw a shop set up like a stall.
I ignored the tempting smell that would only make my hunger worse and kept walking, finally reaching the outer district and finding the familiar shop.
Now that I looked again, it was a quaint little cottage drawn like a picture.
It was an elf who looked not very young, with dark skin. She might have been treated as a witch back in the day.
Well, I like that kind of thing.
Thinking that, I opened the shop’s door.
With the familiar creak of the hinge, I entered. The air was thick and humid, unlike the first time I came here.
Among that air, there was a faint herbal scent mixed in.
The source of the smell was a large pot in the corner of the shop.
The large pot looked like it had finished its work, with the fire out, but still hot steam rose from inside.
I glanced at the counter and found it empty as before.
Just like last time, I went to the counter to ring the bell, and a rustling sound came from the space behind the curtain.
Soon the beaded curtain on both sides slid open, and the familiar silhouette of the elf appeared.
“Oh, you came right on time?”
“You said three days, so I timed it perfectly.”
“Yeah, yeah, you seem impatient too. Let’s finish quickly. Someone was pressuring me, so I barely slept.”
I listened to the half-elf’s muttering and examined her appearance. Every time I saw her, I found her body more and more appealing.
Of course, most of her skin was covered by her cloak, but she couldn’t hide that unique, lewd curve of her silhouette.
“Here’s the promised item.”
With a soft clink, a small box appeared on the counter.
I looked at the elf giving me a gesture to check, pulled the box toward me, and opened the lid.
With a clink, the box revealed a ring of small round pills like red beads.
Even though they were refined, there was a faint heat rising, so they looked quite effective.
“How is it? I really made this. I opened my book for the first time in years!”
“This is enough that I should even pay extra, right?”
I watched her boastfully claim her effort, then shut the box with a thud.
“Well, the look is nice, but I guess I’ll have to see how well it works.”
“Eh? W-well... there’s a shop near here that only sells brothels... If you’re in a hurry, go there and...”
“No way. Who wants to mingle with those guys?”
Of course, I had zero intention of mixing with them, so my target was right in front of me—the half-elf.
I took out a coin purse filled with money from my pocket, smiled lewdly, took off my mask, and looked at her.
“For my experiment, the body I’ll use is obviously you.”
“Huh?”
Hypnosis begins.
I said the phrase in my mind and stared into her eyes. Her purple pupils trembled for a moment, then lost their color and turned cloudy.
