Rampaging Mana
The next day, in one of the royal palace’s chambers.
A large table stood at the center with a map spread wide across its surface.
River flows.
Reservoir candidate sites.
Locations of roads and villages.
And newly drawn lines running over them all.
Water supply pipelines.
Two figures stood on opposite sides of the table.
Elara and Seraphina.
Both women held thick stacks of documents.
Seraphina tapped the map with the tip of her pencil.
“The slope in this section is steeper than anticipated.”
Elara’s eyes followed the pencil’s path and she gave a small nod.
“...Yes.”
She pointed to another spot with her finger.
“...Which is why we’ll need pressure dispersion midway.”
She stared at the map a moment longer.
“...The method Sir Jun described.”
“...The siphon structure.”
Seraphina lifted a sheet of parchment.
“This one?”
It was a cross-section showing the pipe descending before rising again.
Elara nodded slowly.
“...Correct.”
“...With this structure, we won’t need to route around the hill.”
“...We can connect the pipes directly.”
Seraphina tapped the map once more.
“Then it seems we should increase the pipe diameter slightly for this section.”
Elara answered.
“...Yes.”
“...There is a risk of pressure drop.”
Seraphina paused, then tilted her head back.
“Haaam~”
She set the documents down.
“The rest seems like something Sir Jun would understand better.”
She rolled her shoulders and pressed her temples.
“I need to rest a little.”
Elara smiled.
“...Of course.”
“...You were up all night.”
Seraphina nodded.
“I’ll sleep a bit and return.”
She walked toward the door.
It opened,
then closed again.
The room fell silent.
Now only Elara and I remained.
As I approached the table and looked down at the map, Elara spoke cautiously.
“...Sir Jun.”
“...Please look at this section.”
She pointed to a spot.
“...What diameter would be appropriate here?”
I stepped beside her.
“Where?”
“...Here.”
Elara leaned in slightly.
Pretending to study the map, I glanced sideways at her.
She’s pretty too. So it’s her turn now?
Elara.
A high-ranking researcher in the Lunaris royal palace.
She looked to be in her mid-thirties.
Long purple hair fell all the way to her waist.
She wore a thin coat over her research uniform.
Though the clothes covered her, the line of her waist was clearly visible.
Her hips had a very nice curve as well.
While pretending to examine the map, I moved my hand.
Swipe.
The moment I lightly brushed her ass, Elara’s body flinched.
“...Eh?”
She looked back.
“...Right now?”
I kept my eyes on the map.
“For this part, increasing the pipe diameter a little more would be better.”
Elara looked down at the map again.
In that brief opening, my hand moved once more.
Swipe.
This time it lingered longer.
Elara’s shoulders shifted subtly.
“...Sir Jun?”
I continued in a casual tone, still looking at the map.
“Yeah.”
Elara couldn’t speak for a moment.
“...Right now?”
“...What are you doing?”
I pointed at the map.
“I’m talking about this section right here.”
Elara stared at me for several seconds.
Then her gaze dropped again.
“...Strange.”
“...I clearly...”
“...felt something touch me.”
It did.
My hand.
“What are you talking about?”
“Focus.”
I deliberately put on a stern expression.
“...But...”
“...I definitely...”
“If you keep this up I’m leaving.”
Elara’s voice grew noticeably smaller.
A deflated tone.
“...I’ll focus.”
“Good. Where were we…?”
“Um… Argh! It’s your fault I forgot!”
Elara’s voice shrank even further.
“...I’m sorry.”
“...Up to the pipe diameter here…”
Oh?
She’s quick.
“Right, this part.”
“Increase the diameter and connect from here to here…”
I placed my hand on Elara’s ass again.
I began stroking it gently.
She flinched.
Elara felt my touch but couldn’t bring herself to speak.
She simply stared at the map, face flushed red.
Squeeze.
I gave it a light grab.
So firm.
Elara’s eyes shifted to my hand.
With a burning face she murmured.
“...Contact…”
“...is not permitted, Sir Jun.”
I looked at her.
“You’re losing focus again!”
“Ah, forget it. I’m leaving.”
I pretended to turn away.
“I’ll tell the Queen you can’t concentrate.”
At that instant Elara’s hand shot out and grabbed my collar.
Her fingers were trembling.
“...No…”
“...I’m scared of the Queen…”
“...I’ll focus…”
I nearly burst out laughing.
Lmao. Got it.
She’s incredibly timid.
“If you lose focus one more time, I’m really leaving.”
“...Yes… I’ll focus…”
Elara forced her eyes back onto the map.
Now I moved boldly.
I kneaded her ass without restraint while continuing the explanation.
“Starting from this section here.”
Squeeze.
“Connect it like this.”
Squeeze.
The elasticity. Damn…
It really is bouncy.
While explaining I kept massaging her rear.
“...Hngh…”
A short moan slipped out.
“Once we pass this hill section.”
“...Mmph…”
“It connects straight to the royal palace.”
“...Focus, Elara…”
She whispered.
“Hm? Why aren’t you focusing?”
“...Ha… It’s nothing… I’m focusing…”
I smiled and continued kneading her ass.
Elara couldn’t refuse me.
With her ears flushed crimson, she kept staring at the map.
I leaned close to Elara’s ear.
Fwoosh.
I blew gently.
“...!”
Her whole body shuddered.
“...Ah…!”
Her hand clenched my collar tightly for a moment.
The tips of her ears burned bright red.
I slowly moved my hand from her ass up to her breasts.
Elara’s eyes trembled violently as they followed my fingers.
Squish.
Her modest breasts.
Yet her moans were anything but modest.
“Ahng!”
Overwhelmed by sensation, she leaned into my chest.
With one hand still kneading her breast, I lifted her chin with the other.
Her moist eyes met mine.
Our lips met.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
Then they slowly slid shut.
Elara’s first kiss.
Our breaths mingled.
When our lips finally parted, she gazed up at me with a flushed, yearning expression.
“...The contact…”
“...feels…”
She slowly raised a hand to touch her own lips.
I walked to the door and locked it.
Click.
Elara’s head snapped up.
“...S-Sir Jun?”
“...Why did you lock…”
I shrugged as though it were nothing.
“We shouldn’t be disturbed.”
Elara opened her mouth, then closed it again.
Her eyes fell.
“...Is it…”
“...for research?”
I gave a light nod.
“That’s right.”
Fleshly research.
“It’s an important part.”
Elara stared at me for several seconds before slowly lowering her head.
She fidgeted with her fingers.
“...Ah…”
“...Yes…”
I stepped close again and stood beside the table.
Elara clutched a random sheet of parchment.
Her trembling hands made the paper shake too.
Casually, I cupped one of her small breasts.
“...You said…”
“...you would do research…”
I smiled faintly.
“Yes. Research.”
I met her gaze.
“Research on you and me.”
Tug.
I pulled the tie of her robe and let it drop.
With a short kiss I unbuttoned her top and slipped it off.
Another short kiss.
Each kiss removed another layer until she stood completely naked.
Curiosity.
Hesitation.
And the instinct of a female who has met a male.
Her body trembled, yet she neither resisted nor covered herself.
She simply yielded to my every move.
I gripped her waist and lifted her onto the table.
Laying her back, I brought my mouth to her cute little breasts.
“Hngh! Mmph! Ahk!”
Elara, who always trailed off before speaking, showed no such hesitation in her moans.
I flicked her adorable nipple lightly with my tongue.
“Haang!!”
“Shh…”
“The Queen might hear.”
I picked up her thin underwear from the floor and pressed it into her mouth.
While continuing to caress her petite breasts, I stroked her small pussy with my hand.
“Mmph! Mmmph! Mmmphhh!!”
She writhed her hips wildly at the unfamiliar sensations.
If I drag this out and someone comes, it’ll be a problem.
I pulled down my pants, freed my cock, and aligned it with her entrance.
Whoa… She looks over thirty but her body… It’s so small. Will it even fit?
I grabbed Elara’s ankles, spread her legs, and raised them high.
The height of the table matched my cock perfectly.
Slowly I widened her opening as my length gradually disappeared inside.
“Mmph! Mmmphhh!!”
She shook her head from side to side, screaming around the underwear gag.
My advancing cock met a thin barrier.
If I break this… it should be fine, right?
I thrust hard, tearing through Elara’s hymen.
“Mmmmmmmphhhhh!!!!!”
Fuck.
What a tight pussy.
It’s squeezing insanely hard.
I stayed still and waited.
The pain-filled trembling gradually eased, and the screams muffled by the cloth grew quieter.
Her shaking body slowly stabilized.
Time to move?
At that exact moment.
Wooong—
Wooong—
Wooong—
Mana began gathering around me once again.
Is it starting?
Wooong—
Wooong—
Wooong—
“Huh…?”
Wooong—
Wooong—
Wooong—
“It’s not stopping?”
Elara’s eyes flew wide open and she frantically pulled the underwear from her mouth.
“Mana rampage?”
“Sir Jun! It’s dangerous!”
“Release your mana!”
“If you keep absorbing it, it will be catastrophic!”
Elara’s voice accelerated sharply.
“This isn’t normal mana.”
“Its structure is collapsing.”
“No—it’s devouring everything.”
“You must let it flow!”
The urgent words poured out one after another.
There was still no light in her pupils.
Something inside my body began to boil, bringing a tearing agony.
“Graaaaaagh!! It hurts!!”
“How the hell do I do that? I don’t know how!”
Elara’s eyes darted wildly again, tracing the flow of mana.
I clenched my teeth.
“Gaaaaaah!!!!”
The mana kept boiling inside me. Every breath felt like my chest was being ripped apart.
Elara’s eyes moved with frantic speed.
The mana swirling around my body.
Vortex. Absorption. Compression.
An endless current being sucked inward.
“...There’s no exit…”
Focus returned to her eyes and her face turned deathly pale.
“...That’s why it’s rampaging…”
My body staggered.
The mana was twisting madly.
“Then make one!”
Elara’s head snapped up.
“That’s right!”
She moved at once.
“Sir Jun!”
Her hand pressed against my chest.
The light in her pupils vanished completely once more.
Inside my body.
The rampaging flow of mana.
Within that chaos Elara found a single path.
“...Here.”
She whispered.
“...I’ll guide it this way.”
I gritted my teeth.
“How do I—”
Elara didn’t answer. She simply pulled my body closer.
Then placed her other hand on my back.
As though tracing the current.
“...Sir Jun.”
Her breath shook.
“...I’ll set the direction.”
“...Sir Jun… just release it.”
I swallowed a groan.
“How the hell do I release it!”
Elara spoke firmly.
“...Stop absorbing it…”
“...and push it outward.”
I squeezed my eyes shut.
The twisting of the mana continued.
“Graaa…!!”
The instant I poured every ounce of strength I had, Elara pressed hard against my back.
“Now!”
Mana exploded from my body.
Wooong—
Wooong—
Wooong—
The mana changed direction.
The rampaging energy flowed along Elara’s body.
Elara’s breath caught.
“...It’s hot…”
But she didn’t pull her hand away.
“...It’s all right.”
“...Keep releasing it.”
The mana pouring out of me unraveled the vortex as it exited.
My body shook violently.
“...It stopped.”
Light returned to Elara’s eyes.
Panting, she said.
“...That was truly dangerous.”
She lowered her head.
----------
A short while earlier.
In the throne hall.
Queen Seraphina sat upon a throne carved from crystal.
Below her, an elder bowed his head as he gave his report.
“Construction of the northern reservoir is proceeding smoothly.”
“However, in certain sections of the pipeline…”
At that moment Seraphina’s eyes opened.
Wooong.
A faint ripple.
It was more than enough for her.
- Jun.
Seraphina’s gaze turned toward empty air.
- Is that you?
Her eyes narrowed.
- Growing stronger again?
The ripple sounded once more.
Wooong.
And again.
Wooong.
Seraphina’s expression hardened.
- No.
She shot to her feet.
- This is.
Her pupils flashed.
- Mana rampage.
She stepped down from the throne.
The elders looked up in alarm.
“Your Majesty?”
She was already moving.
“It is dangerous.”
She muttered briefly.
“Jun.”
The next instant the Queen’s body vanished.
Bang.
The door burst open violently.
In the corridor, the knight guards looked up in shock.
“Your Maj—”
Before they could finish, the Queen had already swept past them.
A gust of wind exploded in her wake.
Seraphina was running.
No—she was practically flying, long silver hair streaming behind her.
- Where?
She closed her eyes and traced the mana ripple.
Wooong.
Wooong.
Faint yet unmistakable direction.
- The research wing.
The Queen’s foot slammed against the floor.
Bang.
Her body shot forward like an arrow.
- You…
Her eyes grew even sharper.
- Just how far do you intend to go?
