Even Vulgarity Got Me Horny (2)
“What should I say... um... it was vulgar, but... hehe... when I first read that ‘Childhood Friend Rape’, I ended up getting in heat.”
“....”
What the hell had I just heard?
...In heat?
Rebeccaite Lua Asbestos, heir to the Asbestos family and known as the Heaven-Born Tyrant...
She was saying she got aroused from reading my erotica?
“So I tried ‘relieving’ myself just like in ‘Childhood Friend Rape’... and sure enough, my life changed after that~!”
Shwaaak-!
Rebeccaite snapped open her fan and walked toward the window, continuing.
“Back in the day~? If anything bothered me even a little, I couldn’t stand it? If I saw even a speck of dust, I had to slap the maid’s cheek~? If the food didn’t suit me, I’d flip the whole table~!”
“....”
“But... after becoming a fan of Childhood Friend Rape~ I started trying to maintain my dignity on my own~!”
Twirl-! Ta-at-!
Rebeccaite spun around to face me and snapped her fan shut.
“Just now~? I saw some trash someone discarded~ so I had a maid put it in the bin~? Me, Rebeccaite Lua Asbestos~! Ohoho!!”
Tok tok-!
Rebeccaite tapped her chest with her fan.
She looked incredibly proud.
“Even when something really soured my mood~? After ‘relieving’ myself in the bath~? Hehe, it makes me feel so good~? And I sleep like a baby too~! That’s why they say people should read books~?”
“....”
My mind was on the verge of going blank...
But I barely held on.
So... let’s sum this up.
Rebeccaite’s symptoms and her relief method.
And considering how utterly primitive this world’s sexual culture was...
Could the birth of the Heaven-Born Tyrant really be due to sexual frustration?
That was my conclusion.
It was hard to believe, but I couldn’t say it lacked plausibility.
Reality always surpasses imagination, right?
Surprisingly, Rebeccaite’s symptoms even had a basis in ‘real-life stories’ from my past life.
Chijijik-!
A post I’d seen in a gallery from my previous life flashed in my mind.
In the Victorian era, they thought women's mental issues like 'irritability', 'nervousness', 'anxiety', 'depression', 'delusions of grandeur', 'insomnia', etc., were all caused by a disease called hysteria.
And they concluded that to relieve it, you needed the 'pain-pleasure response' from stimulating a certain area.
What was that?
(Roughly, the image of a doctor shoving his hand under a woman's skirt and kneading.jpg)
This right here.
Back then, it was legit standard treatment for hysteria: a specialist male doctor manually massaging the uterus and pussy.
Obviously, it was just inducing orgasm, that's the theory.
...And it apparently had real effects.
So gal bros, make sure to pound your girlfriends regularly so they don't get hysterical~!
lololol Knowledge sucks but hyper sex drive leads to Hitomi worldview? Convergent evolution fucked lmao~
Of course, Rebeccaite wasn’t old enough to be called a spinster...
But overflowing sexual desire turning into hysteria? Totally plausible.
Wait a sec...
A sudden thought struck me.
The Asbestos family was notoriously bad at ‘emotional control.’
And their behaviors matched hysteria symptoms perfectly.
Not 100% certain, of course...
But what if the whole Asbestos family was going insane from lack of sexual release?
...Then the Imperial Academy’s words weren’t wrong after all?
The letter from the Imperial Academy praising the ‘academic research value’ of my novels. I’d thought it was bullshit...
But maybe they had real value.
If my erotica could calm the Asbestos family even a little, that’d be something!
Shwaaak-!
“Ohoho! Teacher~ wherever did you learn such precious knowledge~? Every time I read it, I see the profound philosophy in Childhood Friend Rape~?”
“....”
In truth, there was no philosophy like she imagined...
But hey, interpretations make the dream!
No need to throw away a chance to score points.
“Actually, people who delve as deeply as you, Rebeccaite, are extremely rare. You’ve hit the core of Childhood Friend Rape perfectly.”
“...What do you mean by that?”
“I think stagnant emotions rot, just like stagnant water.”
“Hoo... that’s... truly profound. Go on.”
Ta-at-!
Rebeccaite snapped her fan shut and blinked.
“If I may presume... as someone born into the great Asbestos family, how much scrutiny and expectation have you faced?”
“For someone as sensitive as you, Rebeccaite, how much suffering must you have bottled up! But as the heir to a great house, who could you tell ‘I’m struggling’ to?”
“Here’s what I think. Your past actions toward those around you weren’t mere anger... they were cries bursting from within you! It’s just... the method was a bit off!”
Rebeccaite’s mouth slowly opened wider as she listened.
“Then, fortunately, you found the right way to release emotions through Childhood Friend Rape. Oh, not thanks to me. Quite the opposite.”
Suhk-!
I took a breath and continued.
“Most readers finish a book thinking ‘that was fun.’ But you found your own answer in it. I guarantee you, Rebeccaite—you’re not an ordinary reader... you’re in the top 0.001%.”
“....”
I’d rambled on...
But ultimately, it boiled down to ‘Jerking off to erotica feels good!’
Still, packaging changes value!
“So hold your head high. You’re no sinner, Rebeccaite!! You were just a lost child!!”
“....”
Thud-!
With those words, Rebeccaite’s fan dropped to the floor.
“Teacher Nakadashi’s words... they rang out like a declaration!!”
Swipe- Rebeccaite picked up the fan and dabbed at her reddened eyes with her sleeve.
....
I was a bit flustered. Since it was advanced flattery tech from my past life, I figured it’d work...
But tears? Didn’t expect it to land that well.
“Haa~ Just like you said, Teacher Nakadashi. Emotions boil inside with no outlet~ And hearing that... makes me feel even more guilty. Even if I was a lost child, why did I treat Lilith so badly... Looking back now, it’s embarrassing~.”
“I’m sorry. My knowledge is limited, so I don’t know who you mean.”
Lilith?
First time hearing the name.
“Limited knowledge? What nonsense~? Absolutely not!”
Ta-at-!
Rebeccaite rested her fan on her chin and narrowed her eyes.
“Lilith Rose Quartz. She once stole~ my darling’s gaze~ Back then, my world crumbled~? Why give that woman his attention! What was I lacking to feel this way~? And while he looked at Lilith, I lost it too~?”
Swipe-
Rebeccaite gazed into the distance and sighed.
“Haa... I regret it~. Teacher, even now, introduce her to a nice guy and mend things... Ah! Ohoho!! Great idea just hit me~!!”
I figured not asking what that idea was would be better for my sanity, so I changed the subject.
“Rebeccaite.”
“Yes~?”
“You wrote in your fan letter, right? Something like ‘A woman’s greatest weapon is between her legs’...”
“Oh my oh my oh my~!! You remember that~!! Yes~! My favorite line from Childhood Friend Rape~! Ohoho!!”
Ta-at-!
Rebeccaite set her fan on her lap and looked at me.
“Actually~? I used that line on my darling directly~?”
“...Pardon?”
Her cheeks flushed again, as if recalling the moment.
“I was upset about him eyeing Lilith~ so instead of getting mad, I mustered courage and said it~!”
Swipe-
Rebeccaite covered her mouth with her fan and cleared her throat.
“‘Your Highness, do you know a woman’s greatest weapon is between her legs...? And I’m about to use that weapon for the first time now.’~.”
“....”
“After deploying that weapon, he stopped looking at Lilith~! Ohoho~!! All thanks to you, Author Nakadashi!”
...So that’s why she thanked me in the fan letter for connecting her with the crown prince.
Damn... it actually worked?
A mix of disbelief and admiration washed over me. Winning the crown prince’s heart with one line from erotica...
Rebeccaite truly had a heavenly talent for wielding any kind of ‘power.’
“That was all possible because you mustered the courage, Rebeccaite. Not me.”
“Ohoho~! More kind words~! I could chat all day, but... sadly, my daaaarling is waiting!”
Rebeccaite snapped her fan shut and rose from her chair.
Clack- clack-
“Oh, one last thing~!”
“Go ahead.”
“It might be a burden, but... register as a member of the Academy~! If you qualify, there’ll be plenty of uses~!”
“Thank you. I’ll consider it carefully.”
Tok tok-
Rebeccaite tapped my shoulder with the tip of her fan and added,
“Not ‘consider’—do it~? A ‘request’ from your secret friend~?”
