Ravish...ment (3) - Minor
"Is it really that good?"
"Mmhm."
Yeon-hwa was looking down at me, cradled in her arms. She tilted her head, as if finding the way I kept chewing without pause rather fascinating.
I bobbed my head vaguely and swallowed what was in my mouth.
"Pah... yes, it's delicious... mm."
[Delicious]
[Yummy]
[Deliciousdeliciousdelicious...]
Nutty and sweet. The enchanting taste flooding a tongue that had been as barren as a desert for nearly a year made it hard to keep my wits about me.
"Heheh, you're totally lost in it."
[Bliss...]
Under the affectionate hand gently stroking my head, I kept chewing.
'Good...'
In my previous world, I didn't eat much, but I did try a variety of foods.
Not expensive things—just the kind of food ordinary, average people might encounter.
Since I'd eaten so little in the past, I'd sampled them out of curiosity about what on earth those flavors were supposed to be.
Among them, the foods that particularly suited my taste were dairy products. I repeatedly ordered foods containing dairy, and I spent money on cheese and yogurt too.
I especially liked plain white milk. Whenever my head hurt or my body felt chilled, I'd sip warm milk.
...This was far more delicious than any of those things I'd ever tasted. More precisely, it was incomparably delicious.
That was roughly why I couldn't stop eating.
It was food with flavor, something I was tasting for the first time in a year. And it was so good that it almost brought me to tears.
"Mmph...?!"
So when it was suddenly taken from my mouth, I was excessively—no, justifiably—startled.
"I'm not taking it away, don't worry."
Yeon-hwa's eyes went round, then she burst out laughing and pressed a kiss to my forehead as if to reassure me.
At that, my gaze slipped downward. As her negligee shifted, I caught a faint glimpse of the skin of her abdomen.
Compared to her ample chest and hips, her waist was remarkably slender, and the so-called eleven-line abs stood out.
Curious, I reached out a hand. Along with Yeon-hwa's characteristic warmth, a soft texture rubbed against my fingers.
"Nn... curious?"
A nasal sigh slipped through her parted lips as Yeon-hwa placed her hand over the back of mine, her eyes smiling.
[Curious]
[Soft?]
"Here too? Then what about this side?"
Giggling, Yeon-hwa moved my hand to her side.
The texture was a little different.
Her side and upper belly were firm and elastic. In contrast, her lower belly had a cute little curve to it, and the flesh was so soft that pressing it with my palm made it sink in with a squish.
- Sliiip
[Eep]
My body flinched as air brushed my shoulders. Before I knew it, Yeon-hwa had undone my top.
[Tickles...]
"Now Ha-yul has to take his off too, right? It's embarrassing being the only one undressed."
Yeon-hwa's touch didn't stop there; she stroked down the bare skin of my back and lower.
When I glanced up at the heated gaze falling on me from above, I saw crimson eyes burning even more intensely than before.
"...Is this okay?"
Yeon-hwa asked abruptly. The words were truncated, but I understood what she meant. Blushing, I swallowed dryly.
Anticipation and fear.
Amid those conflicting emotions, I made sure to say the one thing I absolutely had to.
"Um, um... contraception..."
"Don't worry. Today's a safe day, so it's fine. And earlier, while you were drinking milk, I took the pill too."
"Ah."
"Making one right now would be a bit much, right? You were already struggling just to look after Seo-yul. If three or four more showed up, your studies would be an issue too."
Yeon-hwa nodded before I'd even finished speaking, as if she'd expected me to ask exactly that.
- Click!
The mood lamp on the nightstand beside the bed turned on. An orange glow softly illuminated the bed and bare skin. Mingling with the sunset beyond the slowly stilling curtains, it created quite the atmosphere.
"...Then there's no problem now, is there?"
Everything was already prepared. Smiling as if to say there was nowhere left to run, Yeon-hwa lay back against the bed.
"Here, come here."
Yeon-hwa opened her arms to me. Her full chest spread, beckoning me to come into her embrace.
Not only that, but her legs parted as well, as if making room.
"......"
...Truthfully, I don't have much sexual knowledge.
I never learned when I was young, and later, when I was poking around the internet alone to learn, I just filed it away as general knowledge—so that's how the human body is~.
After all, I thought this kind of thing would never involve me.
I never even imagined I'd ever show my naked body to a woman, let alone enter that sort of relationship with someone.
Even with that meager knowledge, a strange sense of anticipation rose from within—whether it was instinct or something else.
Of course, worries and burdens about pregnancy, children, and family rose along with it, but she'd taken the pill, and there's magic too, so...
Swallowing hard, I shifted myself forward.

The sea late at night presents a wholly different visage than in the morning.
Unlike its sun-drenched, sparkling, crashing daytime form, it appears ink-black and eerily calm.
If you stare at it quietly, you could almost imagine you were peering down the throat of some colossal monster.
- KABOOOOM!
In this world, monsters really do appear. The placid water surface suddenly churned violently, and a monster's head surged up, cleaving through the seawater.
Thick scales wrapped seamlessly like armor. Below two pairs of murky eyes, a snout bristling with blade-like fangs stood out.
Amhaineo. An aquatic monster rated equivalent to 5th Rank.
Even by industry standards, it's a high-grade entity; for a careless party, losing a person in the blink of an eye is nothing out of the ordinary.
It's a particularly notorious entity among those who operate near the surface or along the coast.
- Kyaaaaak!
That notoriously infamous monster was being dragged out helplessly.
The way its thrashing tore the wind and made the sea explode was truly befitting a threat equivalent to a 5th-Rank Monster.
But the overall sight was similar to a fish flopping about.
The woman looking down at the scene from the sky, Siyoram's Vice Headmaster Venus, twitched her finger with an expressionless face.
The thrashing monster was finally plucked cleanly from the sea and levitated to Venus's eye level.
"Hm."
Whaash! A light shimmered momentarily in Venus's purple eyes as she stared intently at the monster.
As the dark pupils scattered a bright glow, something connected to the monster became visible—something that could not be seen with ordinary unaided vision.
This wasn't just any monster. To be more precise, it could be called a pet monster that had been bred and released into the water by someone.
Was it with good intentions? Venus's eyes observed the monster more deeply.
'Perimeter reconnaissance, kill any humans spotted, ram into the barrier and self-destruct in an emergency.'
As was the case nine times out of ten, the intent was hostile.
There is no one who doesn't know Siyoram's reputation.
But just as light creates shadows, there are naturally those who harbor ill will toward Siyoram, whether openly or in secret.
And there are always some who don't stop at mere thought but put it into action. Siyoram, bustling with the Birth Festival, was a prime time to try something.
This was precisely why Venus had come personally.
This late at night. She, who was already buried in work, had no hobby of wandering the night sea for a bit of fishing.
- Snap!
Venus flicked her fingers casually. Skrrrtch! An unnatural diagonal slash was carved into space, and the monster's head was separated from its neck.
The cut was smooth, as if measured with a ruler. The monster's corpse, head and body parted, plunged into the sea with a splash.
A fierce spray erupted and rained down upon the protective barrier Venus had erected.
She identified the coordinates and personal information connected to the monster. Half-baked small fry leave clues so blatantly because they don't understand what Venus is capable of.
"...Hm."
Venus calmly began to raise her hand, then paused. She weighed the scales in her mind. After briefly gauging the efficiency, she lowered her mana-gathering hand.
Wasting a direct personal intervention on mere small fry was inefficient.
It was inefficient for Venus to personally interfere outside Siyoram. Since she had to be ready to face powerful external threats in an emergency, she needed to conserve as much strength as possible.
If she handed the coordinates and identity over to the Association, the overworked Execution Department would gleefully pay them a personal visit.
[The small fry should indeed be handled by us, but for small fry, they're positioned rather deep in the inner core.]
"They seem to be small fry belonging to a somewhat established group. Please handle it at your discretion."
[Are small fry designated as Grade 1 wanted nowadays?]
"That is a matter for the Association to deliberate. I have much to do, so I'll be taking my leave now."
[No, wait a—]

After exchanging a few more words, Venus ended the call without a hint of regret and turned her back on the dark sea.
"Hoo..."
Having dealt with one task, Venus blinked several times. The bright light flickering in her eyes subsided. She rubbed her stiff eyelids and turned around.
The grounds of Siyoram, bathed in bright light, came into view.
As if proving that the astronomical sums of money hadn't been poured in for nothing, its splendor and grandeur were evident even from afar.
It wasn't an empty, hollow brilliance. Those inside were genuinely safe and enjoying happiness.
"...Hm."
As she calmly cut through the sky, Venus suddenly recalled an amusing remark she'd heard recently.
The origin of the Birth Festival's name is fairly well known, even to the public.
It is a festival that began by celebrating and wishing for the birth of heroes who had grown up here at Siyoram.
With its positive founding purpose and Siyoram's generous support combined, the Birth Festival had established itself as a world-class event despite its short once-a-year interval.
Moreover, with all that support... the atmosphere, as they say, was also good. For four out of the five nights, weren't there spectacular fireworks every evening?
A plausible mood, and young men and women making up a rather large portion of the attendees...
"I would appreciate it if you could attend the closing ceremony..."
The next day.
Right up until the start of the Birth Festival's closing ceremony, two seats remained empty.
"......."
Venus, normally characterized by her blank expression and emotionless demeanor, wore an uncharacteristically pained look.
