Chapter Title: EP 2. Stone Mountain - Aphrodisiac Soak (Full)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Just like that, I ended up staying at the mansion for a month as part of the deal.
"Where are we going?"
I bluntly asked the Head Maid, who was leading me somewhere without warning.
The Head Maid didn't answer.
She'd been pretty taciturn even under the Reversal Curse, but still...
Actually, she might've talked more back then than she did now.
If that was the case, just how few words did this woman normally use?
We arrived at the bathroom.
I'd been here once before, but the atmosphere was completely different this time.
Maids were lined up from the entrance, waiting.
There was no way, right?
My anxiety hit the nail on the head perfectly.
The maids suddenly approached and started undressing me.
"I can do it myself! I said I can do it myself!"
Despite my desperate protests, the maids didn't stop.
In the end, I was stripped completely naked.
Ugh, I feel violated. No one's gonna marry me now.
The maids followed me even into the bathroom.
By then, I was starting to resign myself to it.
They weren't listening anyway, and when I thought about it, it wasn't such a bad deal.
If these had been hairy-legged old men, I'd have hated it, but they were all such refined young women—probably selected purely for their looks and figures.
So if I imagined this as a visit to a massage parlor, it wasn't unpleasant at all.
In fact, getting this service for free? It's pretty nice.
Yeah, let's think positive.
I'm not the one being sexually harassed here! It's them! Even if they look like beautiful women on the outside, my true nature is an eroge addict who can't get enough of lewd stuff.
Come at me, you lot.
"Hng...♥"
That's what I thought, for a little while.
Until they started groping my entire body with gloved hands slathered in some unknown chemical.
At first, I thought it was body wash, but there was no way this world had something like that.
It was too slick for soap, and there weren't many bubbles either.
"Wh-what is this...?!"
"It's a cleanser."
One of the maids answered.
Liar.
No cleanser would make me feel this weird...!
Status Ailment: Heat
The aphrodisiac slathered all over your body has made you so sensitive that even a breeze on your skin makes you wet.

Status Ailment: Dazed
The aphrodisiac's potent effects are severely impairing your judgment and disrupting your concentration.
"Haa... hng...♥"
My body was hot and itchy; even sitting still was torture.
Before I knew it, I was bucking my hips and grinding my thighs against the wooden chair.
"Hua♥ Aaang♥"
Side grind go♥
If I bent a little more, my clit might touch, so I thrust my hips down hard.
Just a bit more♥ A little...♥
Right as it was about to brush, the maids suddenly approached from the side and pulled me to my feet.
Nooo♥
"Hkng...♥"
Just their arms brushing my underarms made my body react hypersensitively.
My pussy throbbed desperately.
Meanwhile, the maids meticulously rubbed my nipples, clit, pussy hole, and even my back hole with their gloved hands, soaking everything in the liquid.
"Hoh♥ Eheheee♥"
Standing stiffly, my rock-hard nipples ground against their drug-soaked fingers, and my vision flashed white for a moment.
It felt dizzyingly good. I'd apparently lost bladder control briefly—yellow liquid pooled at my feet.
"Huaa...♥ My pussy's breaking...♥"
Smooth, smooth, smooth.
Every time their drug-slick hands spread my pussy lips and stroked inside, the flushed pink hole clenched and squirted out juices.
It was agonizing. I clamped my thighs tight and ground them together, bucking my hips without thinking.
My back hole clenched too.
"Hehe...♥ Hihi...♥"
My whole body felt like a happiness switch♥
Every touch sent sweet, tingling pleasure flooding my brain with pink haze.
"All done. Time for the bath."
"Yessh...♥"
The bath had a strangely erotic vibe too.
The water was an intense pink, and the scent was overwhelmingly stimulating.
Just inhaling made my nose itch and my head buzz.
"Huuu...♥"
But for some reason...
I was really looking forward to it.
Trembling, I slipped into the bath.
"Hk♥"
The moment the water touched me, my body jerked reflexively.
It was like pressing a hot, wet towel against my already feverish skin.
As I sank deeper, the slick, sticky water wrapped around me, stimulating my whole body pleasurably.
"U...aa...♥"
Once fully submerged, I naturally started masturbating.
"Haa♥ Jaa...♥"
I plunged my fingers into my pussy more and more violently, lowering my hips—nearly toppling forward.
As my head neared the water, the maids grabbed me from behind.
"Don't submerge your head. Please satisfy yourself with your body alone."
"Yessh♥"
I barely heard what she said, but their hands on my shoulders felt amazing too.
After thoroughly enjoying the bath, I changed clothes.
They led me to a room full of pretty outfits hanging neatly.
The maids picked one and dressed me in it.

It was a cute, lewd dress.
"It suits you perfectly."
After changing, the maid led me to a mirror and said.
"Really? ♥"
The girl in the mirror was stunningly beautiful.
The white, cute babydoll outfit blended with Lia's innocent, lovely face, giving off the vibe of a pure virgin untouched by the world's filth.
But my mind was consumed by one thought.
My pussy ached.
Fingering it wasn't enough; something was missing.
"Follow me. The Lady is waiting."
The maid guided me.
The Lady.
Who was that again?
My head wasn't working right.
We arrived at a large room.
Probably a bedroom.
Black curtains covered the windows, and the only light was faint crimson lanterns flickering dimly.
It was quite dark, but enough to make things out.
"Not bad at all."
A voice came from across the room.
A black-haired woman lay naked on the bed, looking up at me.

Her appraising gaze scanned my body up and down before she patted the spot right in front of her on the bed.
"Come sit here."
I hesitantly went over and sat.
The bed was soft and warm.
"How old are you?"
Marina approached from behind, placing her hand on the strap over my shoulder, and asked.
"Tw-twenty... ."
"You've just come of age, then. Excellent development. Big breasts, sturdy thighs, no excess fat. Perfect figure. Where'd you grow up?"
"We-Wel...b."
"Ah, a remote village. Famous for its seasonal grapes."
She knew it? Surprising.
It was tiny compared to here—barely a hundred residents.
"Not a prosperous place, I'd wager. And yet you grew like this. Truly a blessed body."
Marina whispered as she slid the strap down, slipping off my dress.
With the thin straps gone, my heavy breasts bounced noisily under gravity.
Marina grabbed them with both hands and roughly fondled.
"Ngh..."
"Ever dated or had relations?"
"Huh? No..."
Lena flashed in my mind for a second, but it wasn't anything substantial yet.
"I figured. Virgins have a certain aura. Like unpolished gems, unaware of their value—that innocence is quite appealing."
Marina's hand slipped between my legs.
It brushed my inner thighs, fingers sliding into the slit.
My already soaked hole parted easily, welcoming her fingers.
"Huu...♥"
"No need to tense up. Savor the sensations, relax and enjoy."
Marina's touch was incredibly skilled, targeting only the spots that felt best, relentlessly stimulating.
Nipples, pussy, even my clit.
"Hng... hua... ahn...♥"
My mind melted into mush instantly.
Before long, I was leaning forward, ass out, completely surrendering to her.
"My mother was a weak-willed woman. She had nothing but her looks, craving love. So she cheated—with some man outside. I saw it with my own eyes. What do you think I did?"
Marina slowly licked my nape, trailing up to my earlobe, whispering.
"Wh-what... ngh...♥"
"I killed her lover. Later, when she learned the truth, she came demanding answers. I rebuked her and cast her out. She took her own life soon after. People whisper I killed the mother who bore me, but that's not true. Sometimes lies hold more value than truth. I let the rumor spread. Anyone who kills their parents can kill anyone."
Our eyes met briefly.
She looked lonely, sad, yet angry too.
"You resemble her in some ways. Especially those clueless, dumb eyes."
Marina grabbed me and pulled me onto the bed.
"Kyaa?!"

"This body is that of a Lady."
Marina straddled me, looking down.
"A Lady must guide the foolish and care for their lives. That's a Lady's sole purpose. And you are one of my subjects."
Without warning, she kissed me.
I was startled, eyes wide—but soon her hands gripped my breasts and crotch, tugging and rubbing my nipples and clit.
"Mmph...♥"
Marina's wet pussy ground against mine.
Her tongue above, slick labia and clit kissing roughly below.
At first it was forced, but as my mind turned to chaos, I hugged her back and moved my hips.
We came almost together.
"So lovable."
Marina licked the sweat and saliva from my messy cheek, whispering.
Exhausted, I drifted off in her arms.
The next morning, I woke alone in bed.
I stretched lazily, yawning—then recalled yesterday and flushed with embarrassment.
Something was off yesterday. It was probably that stuff the maids applied.
"That woman... using such dirty tricks..."
I vowed inwardly not to fall for it again.
The door opened, and the Head Maid entered with other maids.
"Wh-what?"
Still wary from yesterday, I asked.
"The Lady invites you to breakfast. We've brought clothes to change into. We'll escort you to the dining hall once you are ready."
The Head Maid said.
Maids behind her held airy dresses on hangers.
Remembering yesterday, I yelled, face red.
"Just leave it there! I'll dress myself. If you touch me without permission again, I'll die before going!"
The Head Maid sighed softly and bowed.
"...Understood. We'll wait at the entrance."
They left.
Huh, she listens after all.
I should've been firm from the start.
I got out of bed and picked up the dress they'd left.
It was way better than this shameless excuse for clothes I had on.
It actually covered what needed covering.
After changing, I checked myself in the mirror and honestly admired it.
The thick, soft blue dress hugged my body comfortably.
Above all, it looked incredibly luxurious and well-crafted—like a master's months-long labor.
Trait: Greed
Your sixth sense—money sense—is telling you this. You're wearing clothes worth an entire house.

I wonder if I could sneak it out later without getting caught.
Considering the Lady's personality, it was probably best not to.
The Head Maid led me to the dining hall.
Many people were already there.
They were mostly unfamiliar faces.
"You're here."
Marina, at the head, said.
"Allow me to introduce. This is Lunel, our city Guard Captain. This is Masil, Finance Minister. And this one—"
Marina introduced everyone seated in turn.
"Finally, this young lady played a decisive role in uncovering the Chief Steward's plot. She's trusted by the Heretic Inquisitor and my savior. Her name is Lia."
Unexpected.
That bitchy woman was hyping me up like this.
The ministers looked shocked too—they probably had the same thought.
"Sit. Everyone's waiting on you to eat."
Marina pointed to the seat right beside her.
I sat there.
The food looked extravagantly luxurious. Any single dish probably cost more than my daily meals.
Normally I'd devour anything free, but somehow I hesitated to touch my fork.
"Why aren't you eating?"
Marina asked as I stared blankly at the food.
"Uh..."
Can't say I'm too intimidated to have an appetite.
"Is it not to your taste? I can have it replaced."
"No, just... it's overwhelming..."
"I can't help a weak mind. Starve if you must."
Marina smirked, picked up her fork and knife, and started cutting her food.
Then ate casually.
She's right, but it pisses me off.
"My apologies, Your Ladyship."
One minister turned to Marina mid-meal.
"What title should we use for the guest?"
Trait: Queen
Your low intelligence can't grasp it, but the ambition for power dwelling in you reveals the room's atmosphere.
The Lady welcomed you as a guest and introduced you to the elders. She's claimed you as her ward—and granted you power.
Between a servant and a favored pet, which has higher status? Obviously the latter. Even a child gets this—it's what you're vaguely sensing.
From their view: if the Chief Steward vanishes, then it's a chance for them. Nope, something even bigger appeared. And this pet is adorable. More favored than him, at least.
Marina suddenly slammed the table.
"Didn't I say earlier? Are you trying to anger me with stupid questions?"
"...My apologies."
The man bowed immediately.
Wow, she killed the vibe instantly.
How's anyone supposed to eat here?
I'll be gone in a month; these guys are stuck for life.
Hang in there.
With that thought, I suddenly felt hungry.
