Chapter Title: Raies Fleur
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Someone was reaching out to touch my body.
Normally, I don't react in situations where I don't need to get up.
That didn't mean the person trying to wake me now harbored any hostility toward me.
I could sense some kind of emotion, which made my body respond, but unable to identify what it was, I opened my eyes.
"Ah."
"......"
Was this heaven?
A girl so pretty it felt that way was right there, close enough for our noses to touch if she leaned down.
The one reaching out from beside me was Raies.
What time was it?
What about school?
Forgetting to message Gold that I wouldn't be coming in yesterday was secondary, but since Raies had skipped yesterday too, letting her skip today as well felt off.
"School?"
"It's fine. We have plenty of time."
As Raies said with a soft smile, there were still over two hours left.
I recalled last night.
I'd passed out around dawn, and Raies had fallen asleep like she'd fainted at the same time.
Physically, she must have been more exhausted than me.
Yet here she was, up before me and trying to wake me—outwardly she seemed the type to snap her fingers and command underlings, but she was diligent and commendable.
"......"
She looked at my awakened face, then down at my lower body, and her cheeks flushed.
The pleasure from last night came rushing back, making me suddenly embarrassed too.
I sat up, pretending to yawn to brush off the awkwardness.
"Thank you for yesterday, Instructor."
"No, I should be thanking you..."
What should I say?
No suitable words came to mind, so my sentence trailed off naturally.
Raies fell silent for a moment before speaking in a shy voice.
"Yesterday, you were... really amazing."
"You too, Raies."
Silence.
It was ticklish but uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, yet part of me was subtly enjoying this situation.
So it felt a bit regrettable.
I probably wouldn't be doing this—having sex—with Raies anymore.
Her sleeping with me had been purely impulsive, and now that I'd created leverage to pressure Holland, she had no more business with me.
I hadn't managed to record anything last night, lost in the pleasure and thrusting on instinct, but the multiple photos I'd taken before that should be enough to drive Holland insane.
My relationship with Raies was over.
“......”
“Ah.”
Only then did I notice Raies staring intently at me.
Even with two hours left, a girl had to do her makeup and such, so she needed to hurry and prepare for school.
"Raies. Shall we wash up?"
"......Yeah."
What?
Raies looked blank for a second, then her face gradually flushed bright red.
She fidgeted, then bowed her head in embarrassment.
This timid side of Raies was pretty cute, but staying like this might make us late.
"I mean, let's each prepare for school and work separately. Going together might raise suspicions, don't you think?"
"Ah. Oh. R-right, that's what you meant."
Raies, who seemed to be smoothing her hair, paused and looked at me.
"Then, together...?"
"......?"
Together what?
Seeing my puzzled expression, Raies laughed it off and shook her head no.
[Well, well.]
What.
[Idiot.]
What the fuck?
"There are two bathrooms, one on each floor."
"I'll use the first floor."
"Okay."
I wanted to wash up quickly like a cat as usual, but with a vibrant young girl I'd shared my body with last night right there, I didn't want to show a dirty side.
Better wash thoroughly.
[Vibrant my ass—this world's standards make her a full adult.]
So what.
[Don't apply your world's standards and common sense just because she's a student.]
Fuck off.
[Hmph. Well, you weren't half bad yesterday, so I'll let it slide.]
I ignored Mangsin's words, washed even the intimate areas meticulously, confirmed my clothes had no odor, and got dressed.
I considered leaving first like this, but it seemed rude, so I sat on the sofa to at least say goodbye.
...The sofa was so soft.
Before I knew it, my eyes closed, and I dozed off with my head nodding.
Thus, I waited endlessly for an hour.
.....
Too long?
Why's she taking so damn long to wash up?
[It's that girly sentimentality thing.]
You said adult earlier, you bastard.
Any more delay and time would be tight.
I went up to the second floor and stopped in front of Raies's room.
No door, so the room was fully visible—spotlessly neat and beautiful as always. Raies, in her perfectly pressed uniform, stood before the mirror, pondering something for a long time.
Fixing her hair? It looked pristine to me, not a single frizzy strand.
Looking closer, she held something in her hand.
Several of the same items were on the table in front of her. She wrapped one around her neck and approached me.
A choker...?
Raies noticed me and came over.
"Sorry to keep you waiting so long, Instructor. I called two carriages, so please use one."
"No, it's fine. It was fun, Raies."
"......"
Raies didn't reply, just lowered her eyes and gave a faint smile.
After leaving Raies's house, I rushed to school for work.
And right there, I ran into Gold in the floating elevator.
"Hello."
"Are you well, brother?"
I'd only vaguely told Repelt yesterday that I might not make it, so I expected questions about what I'd been up to, but he was quiet.
I gauged his mood before speaking.
"Sorry for not messaging yesterday."
"No worries. I appreciate your privacy and consideration."
Consideration?
"You wanted to be away from that Charles fellow. Grateful for the thoughtfulness, brother."
"Is that so."
Perfect misunderstanding.
I'll play along.
As I stayed silent, Gold spoke in a playful tone.
"Well, even if it wasn't consideration, a man of your caliber could pick any woman for a one-night fling."
"......"
I didn't respond.
Guessing something from my attitude, Gold's eyes widened before he burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! I sometimes wondered if you had no interest in women, but apparently not!"
"It's not like that."
"No need to be shy. Heroes chase skirts—it's good, right?"
"......"
Hero, huh.
Though what I did yesterday was justified revenge, sleeping with a girl who has a boyfriend doesn't change, so was a guy like that a hero?
"By the way, brother. I got intel that the royal family will summon you in a week."
"I see."
"No need to tense up, but His Majesty is coming personally this time, so practicing etiquette wouldn't hurt."
The king.
The bastard who played that bizarre prank when I first came to the capital Sers, pissed me off, then dumped all the work on Queen Eniris as a 'reward.'
Honestly, it only made me anxious...
Sensing my unease, Gold said,
"No need to worry. If things go south, the Hartga family has your back, and even if I hate to admit it, Clarir or El will step up too."
"Well, surely His Majesty won't prank an innocent man like me again."
I said it jokingly, but Gold nodded seriously.
"Of course. Who in the world could treat the current you lightly?"
"?"
What're you saying.
"I guarantee it—no one will dismiss you as an outsider like before."
Really?
The world was full of bitches and bastards.
I had to account for always running into assholes.
My muscle pain was easing up, so time to resume training.
I chatted idly with Gold as we moved.
Yet, in a corner of my mind, the girl from last night inside me kept resurfacing.
...Raies. She'll pull off the plan, right?
A day passed.
In that time, wandering the school like a layabout or sitting blankly was my entire routine.
Today, Miss Rena had gone off to learn something from the journalists again.
She, a mere squire, insisted she couldn't bear to be apart from me anymore, but she clearly enjoyed the headache-inducing rituals she was studying, so I forced her to go.
Truly a promising kid.
Bored.
But what about Raies?
Did she reconcile with Holland?
I felt strangely unsettled.
"Ahahaha."
"How about eating at the place I'm recommending today? I know a good spot."
"That ritual... yeah, that's how you do it."
"Wanna do homework together? I'm confident with established problems like these."
"They say weird noises are coming from the old school building again..."
It was lunchtime, so the surroundings were quite noisy.
Normally, I'd be eating with Mayal, Asita, or Gold, but my mind was complicated, so I was alone.
Maybe I should grab some food.
Then, suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Huh?"
"Eh?"
Fuck.
I stopped walking, and a guy was staring right at me.
Seeing him wandering alone at this hour too, he was clearly a loser like me.
"Lius! Long time no see!"
"?"
Lius? Inventing language now?
I sighed deeply and beckoned him over. He glanced around before striding up and sitting beside me.
"Who said you could sit?"
"Huh? You beckoned."
"I was shooing you away."
"Instructor bro, you treat me like shit especially..."
"Misunderstanding, Miss Liris."
"Damn. You're doing it on purpose."
Looking at his hand as he grumbled, it was stuffed with snacks in a square box.
Noticing my gaze, he shook the box.
"Lunch yet?"
"No."
"Kinda awkward, but wanna eat some?"
"Thanks."
I didn't get the awkward part, but I grabbed a handful without hesitation and crunched away.
.....
What the fuck?
So damn good.
Salty-sweet, like popcorn but with an umami that blew it away... perfect!
Unknowingly, I reached for more, then hesitated, thinking it rude.
Pondering what to say, I asked,
"So, whose eyes are you watching?"
"The lunchbox crowd."
"?"
"But whatever. Got a beggar in your stomach? Heh heh heh. The hero of the floating island with empty hands?"
This guy giving me snacks and acting all high and mighty.
But they were tasty.
“Can I have more?”
"More's fine. But..."
"Thanks then."
Crunch.
"I wasn't done talking!"
"So stingy."
"Damn it!"
This bastard's catchphrase was 'damn it.'
Somehow, I felt gazes from all around.
Not just me—Lius felt them too and clicked his tongue.
"You're hated, huh?"
"Damn it. It's not me, it's you they're staring at, Instructor bro!"
"Eh? I'm hated...?"
"Huh? No, not hate—they're just milling around to see the hot topic lately."
"?"
What? Milling around to see me?
Looking around anew, two nearby girls glaring at Lius noticed my gaze, startled, and looked away.
Now that I saw it, it wasn't just them.
Pretending not to, most students here were watching me.
"......"
"Instructor bro's smart too. Using your star power like this."
"?"
“Stop pretending. You're the only instructor wandering the park idly right now?”
Why the sudden fact-bomb?
“Rumor has it you're scouting talented disciples worth teaching, and seeing the kids flock here, it must be true."
"What?"
"?"
"?"
Disciples?
First I'd heard of it.
I thought this spot was popular for lunch because of the students, but they were here to see me, and in their eyes, I was scouting for good students?
I didn't even know how the instructor-student system worked here.
Come to think of it, their conversations subtly highlighted their strengths...
That was when it happened.
A group of girls approached confidently from afar.
Normally, such a large group would feel intimidating, but smiling brightly, chatting, and admiring the scenery, they exuded warmth instead.
Each one stunningly beautiful, it was like flowers walking.
Especially the leader. A jade-haired woman who looked fierce yet soft, exceptionally beautiful.
I knew her.
Raies.
"......"
Weren't they super menacing just the day before yesterday...?
"Those girls were insanely intimidating the day before yesterday."
Lius voiced my exact thought.
"Raies's vibe changed, so her followers followed suit."
"Must've had something good happen."
"Hmm..."
"?"
Lius pondering with hand on chin, uncharacteristically.
Wait, he looked handsome if cleaned up, messy hair aside?
Fucking bastard. You're my enemy.
My enemy, Lil-ius, muttered,
"Did she get a boyfriend...?"
"...Huh? What bullshit out of nowhere?"
"Bullshit my ass... They say women get prettier when they fall in love."
What nonsense. But it nagged at me enough not to dismiss.
"Didn't she have that fiancé Holland until now? Reason to suddenly get prettier..."
"Huh? Holland? Who's that?"
"......"
Was he oblivious to rumors, or was Holland that insignificant?
That Meder guy used Holland to provoke Raies last time, so Lius must be the loser type?
Suddenly felt affinity.
This guy's a handsome loser if he cleans up.
Thinking about it, handsome loser was obviously me?
Turns out he's a comrade?
[Where's your conscience?]
Fuck off.
I ignored Mangsin and smiled at Li-li-ri.
"Here, more snacks. But what's this snack called?"
"Tha... damn it. It was mine to begin with. It's called Konkon."
"Ah, this is Konkon?"
I recalled the mention from before.
I grabbed another handful and devoured the Konkon.
"Anyway, Raies—she usually grooms to enhance her charm, avoid looking weak. Like, basic level."
"But?"
"But now it's like... she dolled up extra hoping someone finds her pretty?"
"...Lius."
"Huh?"
"Why the detailed rant? Creeps me out. Go die."
"Damn..."
Lius grinding his teeth.
Still, pretty perceptive.
To make Holland turn back, getting even prettier with more makeup was good.
Of course, give him a harsh lesson first.
Surroundings whispering about Raies too.
Not sinister, but excited like spotting a celebrity.
Even as fellow students, they acknowledged her on another level.
The ones who'd come to see me now couldn't take their eyes off Raies.
At the center of the commotion, Raies walked with arms crossed nobly, silently listening to her followers.
...Wonder what they're talking about.
This was absolutely not personal interest.
As an instructor, vigilance toward a potentially rowdy group. Yeah.
I enhanced my hearing with Ryunar, erasing my presence to avoid detection.
Damn, this outsider body was convenient.
[This... isn't.]
What now.
I brushed off Mangsin's interruption and tuned into their conversation.
"Wow! Lady Raies, what's that choker? What is it?"
"It suits you so well!! Where'd you get it?"
"Can I wear the same one...?"
Choker?
Ah, the one from morning.
It certainly softened Raies's slightly fierce impression, or made it sexier.
Then Lius said,
"That choker's hot."
"......"
"Wh-why the fist."
Am I gonna hit you?
I shook it demonstratively in front of him; he squinted, wondering if it was real, but bumped his fist against mine.
I patted his shoulder.
"...What. Instructor bro, kinda pervy."
"Quiet."
"With that red girl before, you were all pose and temper."
"Slight Instructor Mode now."
"What's that mode..."
As Lius grumbled, he suddenly glanced somewhere and yelped.
Following his gaze, I cursed under my breath too.
The girl I'd just thought of.
Meder was striding confidently toward Raies.
...Wow. Doesn't get tired, huh.
At that moment, most students' eyes turned to me.
Why stare like that? Expecting me to intervene?
Too much attention.
Meder and Raies's faction noticed the consistent behavior and spotted me.
Meder flinched, then scowled with a 'tch.' Raies... Raies...
Was smiling.
Looking at me, smiling like the bright sun, as if delighted beyond words.
I unwittingly gaped, staring blankly, entranced by her smile.
"Instructor bro. Gonna stop her?"
"...Let's watch first."
I snapped out of it and barely managed.
Meder wasn't clueless enough to cause a scene.
Or... given this world's bitches staring at me like crap, she might push the provocation.
In that case, you're done, Meder.
Meder glanced at me, smiled brightly, and spoke to Raies.
"Hello? Lady Raies."
"Hi, Meder."
Relieved.
Different from last time.
Then, Raies had looked anxious and hysterical.
Now, she was indifferent, overflowing with leisure.
Meder must've sensed the change immediately.
"Does my fiancé's whereabouts bother you? If it's Holland..."
"Probably with another woman."
"......Pardon?"
Meder's eyes widened at Raies's unexpected reply.
"Poor you, Meder. Volunteering for that dumb lover act just to throw an empty provocation."
"No, I..."
"Plauen and I owe our lives to Instructor Dre."
Huh.
Suddenly me?
"So what? Does that relate to now?"
"Who knows, Meder. You've been with Plauen since childhood, yet you don't know her true nature."
"Whaa?"
Meder raised her voice, but Raies stayed calm.
"I'm sure—even if Instructor Dre warned her, if she mocks me in front of him again like last time, she'll be displeased."
"......"
"Can you be certain I'm wrong?"
Meder just glared.
What? Plauen gets displeased if you bitch in front of me?
Why?
Was Plauen the commendable type to order her underlings not to treat me poorly because she indirectly owed me her life?
But Meder not refuting meant there was truth to it.
The moment Meder hesitated, victory was decided.
But Raies sighed softly and smiled gently.
"Not looking down on you. But I don't want to fight in front of him. So, could you step back?"
"...Fine, I will."
Oh. Saved face for her.
Meder sensed it was time to retreat and left smoothly.
Followers and surrounding students looked at Raies with admiration.
Meder acted superior, yet Raies made her withdraw instantly while preserving her dignity—natural reaction.
At that moment, Lius muttered,
"Oh. The Benevolent Queen revives."
"What's that."
"Huh? Didn't I say? Our year has three queens..."
"El, Clarir, Raies."
"Damn. You remember..."
Liri-li-us grumbled as I cut in.
Ah. Fun to tease this guy.
That was when.
A presence neared, and suddenly a pleasant fragrance wafted close.
Lifting my head, Raies stood nearby, hands politely clasped, looking down at me.
"Instructor. Excuse me, but could we talk briefly?"
She bowed slightly to Lius as if asking permission.
Lius gossiped excitedly about her from afar but sulked up close. No need to ask him.
"What is it?"
"It's... personal counseling, so not here..."
Counseling.
My heart thumped, but I suppressed it, feigning calm as I stood.
"Keep it short."
"Yes. Of course, I won't take much of your busy time, Instructor."
I'm free.
Thus, Raies and I drew away, receiving tons of stares.
I blinked around the room.
Where was this.
A gorgeously decorated lavish room.
Furniture and tableware all screamed expensive, colorful glowing flowers dazzling, unsettling the mind.
"My private quarters."
"Private...?"
A student with private quarters?
"Embarrassing to say myself, but Pryunar Academy provides separate rooms for outstanding students. Mine's more a shared social hall for me and my followers."
Spacious enough for that.
Still, giving a student such a huge room whole.
Pryunar's wealth and scale hit home.
"Odd of me to say after inviting you, but are you really not busy? Rumors say you're scouting talents for students soon."
"First I've heard of students."
"Really? Weird the academy lets top talent like you, the hottest topic, idle for a week."
Tell me about it.
What was the principal thinking.
Still pissed about the armpit licking?
......Yeah.
Put myself in her shoes—beyond pissed, it'd be infuriating.
Avoid the principal for a while.
"So. The counseling you want—is it about Holland?"
"Y-yes. I showed him the photos you took, but he doesn't believe them."
"......"
That's weird.
Objectively, those photos were hyper-realistic.
Even if obviously fake, it'd piss me off, and I'd beat first, verify later.
But. So what?
...The counseling—don't tell me... more shooting?
Drinking kimchi soup, but in this context, nothing else fit.
"So, Instructor..."
"...Yes."
Suddenly, hot saliva pooled in my mouth.
Damn.
Don't get ahead, you Dre bastard.
[Not getting ahead. Heh heh heh.]
Shut up.
Fidgeting Raies finally spoke.
"Could you help me a bit more?"
"...Ah, like yesterday?"
"Y-yes..."
Brief silence.
My barely opened voice trembled slightly.
"Wh-what. Is this... just this once?"
Fuck. Wrong words.
Objectively, my voice dripped reluctance and excitement.
To Raies, it'd sound like 'this time, but next too? Right?'
[To me, your stiff voice sounded like 'just this once, don't bother me next time, scram.']
Shut up.
While cursing Mangsin, Raies spoke.
"Ah, no. If possible, until a week from now when you're busy with the palace rewards, keep helping."
A week... from now?
Keep doing those naughty shoots?
I gaped.
My heart felt like it'd leap out.
"Uh... yes. Got it."
I agreed smoothly.
Raies jumped up with a radiant smile.
"Really?!"
Her positive reaction made me happy too.
Raies stared intently at me.
For some reason, her clasped fingers fidgeted, she glanced at me, then barely spoke.
"Then, can I ask right now?"
...Pardon?
"H-here?"
"Ah, of course not asking you to put your magnificent thing inside me."
Meant to soften it, but more arousing.
"Ah, yeah, sure."
"But there's something I want to try."
"Try what...?"
"Fellatio."
"......"
So.
Raies, here in her private room—but at school, while other students attend class—would suck me off... that it?
The mere thought made my son, my dick, swell instantly.
Raies noticed the pants-straining erection, startled briefly, then smiled seductively.
"You permit it?"
"......"
Silence means consent, right.
Raies approached, hand on my belt.
Confident approach, but fumbling the belt adorably... then pants and underwear dropped together, my dick springing up to slap her cheek.
"Ah! S-sorry."
"No. Hehe. So healthy. Mmm... haa... sniff..."
"?!"
Sniffed it?
She sniffed my dick?
I washed thoroughly this morning, right?
No. Even so, walking around, some sweat?
"...So intense, head-spinning... scent."
It's smelly, you mean.
As embarrassment surged, Raies sniffed again, voice ecstatic.
"Gets me... so excited."
"......"
"Can I suck... Instructor...?"
Her moist eyes and pleading voice left no resistance; I nodded.
Raies smiled happily, gently grasping my dick with her hand.
Precum leaked, wetting the shaft; she rubbed it in without hesitation.
Slurp. Slurp.
"Ngh... Raies...!"
"Scent's even better. Hehe. Then, now..."
Raies tentatively extended her tongue. And.
💥 SUDDEN INTERRUPTION! 💥 BANG BANG BANG!
The door rattled like it'd break; Raies and I both jumped in shock.
I knew someone was walking the hall—this room faced it, so whatever.
"Raies. You in there...?"
!!
This voice...
[Oho! Oho! This got fun!]
Shut up a bit.
"Raies?"
Holland.
He'd come looking for Raies.
And Raies...
"Haa♡"
"?!"
She took a big mouthful of me.
Her tongue flicked, stimulating the piss slit, the urethra.
"Lick♡ Slurp♡ Smooch♡"
"Raies..."
"Mmm♡"
"Ngh!"
Raies gripped my dick tight as if to say be quiet, bobbing her head up and down.
...But. Exciting situation, throat hot, but technique lacking.
Teeth grazed, a bit painful.
Right, virgin until yesterday.
What to do.
She seemed intent on making me cum like this...
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Skill: Mild Beastification activated.] [Slight S Instructor Mode engaged.] ...Huh.
What mode was this.
The question resolved quickly.
I placed my hand on Raies's head; she flinched, and I spoke softly to soothe her.
"Raies. From now on, suck as I tell you."
......Fuck.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Asita puffed her cheeks.
She thought she'd resume constitution improvement soon, but Dre was too busy.
'But we'll meet soon.'
Thinking that, Asita carried the mixture her proud, respected master assigned to the lab.
"Master! I made it all!"
"....."
"Master?"
Emily stared blankly into space before snapping back with a faint "Ah..."
"Mm... put it there."
"Yep!"
Emily'd been weird lately.
Spacing out lost in thought often, face oddly flushed.
Asita worried for her respected master.
'But she's master, so she'll solve any worry soon.'
Emily was an amazing woman crisis didn't suit.
Asita sat on the sofa to rest her tired legs from standing long.
Emily flinched, trembling.
Asita didn't notice.
Who Emily was thinking of.
Or the guilt and depravity from seeing Asita on the sofa.
