Chapter 86: Ghosts Do Live in the Ghost Mansion
"Ready, Nina?"
"Y-Yes... I'm ready...♡"
Nina knelt between Han Siu's legs.
Her natural yet shy demeanor stirred his lower body.
"Ahaha. This feels... kinda embarrassing..."
"......"
The brown-haired girl fanned her flushed face with her hand. It wasn't the kind of heat a simple hand fan could soothe, and a brief cool-down couldn't quell the fire boiling inside her.
Han Siu gazed down at the innocent alchemist with keen sexual interest, a lewd glint in his eye. In this gender-reversed world, Nina retained a fresh purity like a boy from an ordinary world—curious and excited about sex.
That subtle gap thrilled him to no end.
Fuck, I wanna pound her so bad. How does she make that face... damn.
"Nina."
"Y-Yes?"
"Just occurred to me—any guys back home who had a crush on you?"
"Huh?! W-What're you talking about all of a sudden?!"
Nina jumped at Han Siu's question—not physically at first, but her reaction was explosive. She did flinch back a bit, letting out a little eek before kneeling down again.
"Whoa, why so jumpy? Suspicious much."
"N-No, it's just... um, no. No guy would like someone like me..."
"Why not? You're cute and pretty, Nina."
"Ugh, th-thank you. But... there are so many prettier girls out there."
"Our Nina's cute too, so have some confidence. I don't let my dick anywhere near girls who aren't pretty, right?"
"R-Really? Hehe... th-thank you."
Seeing Nina beam with that adorable grin made a smile creep onto Han Siu's face too.
He loved the slutty innocence hidden in Elaine the Saintess, or Hildear's loyal-puppy cuteness, but this pure virgin side of Nina was just as irresistible.
For Han Siu, whose tastes were broad in both variety and scope, his party girls with their diverse charms were the perfect lineup. Not that he'd recruited them with that in mind, of course.
"What about close guy friends, then?"
"Close guy friends? Not sure if I'd call him close, but there was the boy next door since we were kids... Ahh, Hero. Why do you keep asking stuff like that...?"
"Childhood friend next door, huh... Hm. Whatever, doesn't matter."
"...?"
"Your goal's to make it big enough to brag about back home, right? Money and all that."
"Y-Yeah, that's part of it."
Leaving her kingdom to shine as an alchemist and make a name for herself—it all boiled down to the same thing. Nina, young bordering on childish, craved escape from poverty (and maybe more?), but she burned just as much to flaunt her success back home.
The poorest family in the village meant constant scorn and disdain, even in a small hamlet. Becoming an alchemist's apprentice had eased the poverty a bit and improved her treatment, but the built-up resentment lingered.
I'll succeed big-time, shake off this damn poverty, and rub it in everyone's faces!
That was Nina's deep-rooted drive.
"So... how about filming a video and sending it?"
"A video...?"
"Yeah. I sent plenty of money, but they probably wouldn't believe it without proof."
"You're right..."
Nina's face fell a little.
The moment Han Siu recruited her, she'd written letters to her master and hometown.
But the replies were mocking. Her master said something like, "Good attitude, keep at it," while the villagers flat-out didn't believe her. To them, she was still that clueless kid who didn't know her place.
Ugh, pissing me off just thinking about it.
"Haha, so a video would be solid proof."
"Ah...!"
Nina's eyes went wide.
This was a world where public sex—filling wombs with hero semen under the guise of "party formation"—was a graduation tradition at Hero Academy. With sexual values just as shocking, Nina was awed by Han Siu's idea.
It was genius.
"As expected of Hero...! You're amazing!"
"R-Right?"
This works, huh...
Even Han Siu felt awkward saying it aloud. He'd blurted it out in his lust to dye this fresh alchemist girl in his colors, but he hadn't expected it to land this well. He realized he still had much to learn about this world.
"Hero! Do you have a recording device ready?"
"Huh? No, don't..."
"I'll grab one! Just wait a sec!"
"Oka—"
Before Han Siu could finish, Nina bolted up and dashed out. Her energy made him wonder if this was the same Nina he knew.
She's got a ton pent up, huh.
Resentment piled high for her, lust piled high for him. Not a bad match.
"Haa! Haa! Back—hic! ...sir...!"
Her room was pretty far, but the mana-less alchemist returned unbelievably fast. Panting hard from the sprint, she looked almost erotic.
Ah, damn it. All because of that ghost. Keeps going on about sex, and now I'm starving too.
Han Siu randomly cursed the mansion's ghost, Gwen.
"Good job."
"Hehe, haa... Here's the recording... huu, orb."
"Mm."
With fire in her eyes, Nina closed in, and he mumbled awkwardly. Luckily, she didn't notice, lost in thoughts of how to appear in the upcoming video.
"I'll film it for you, so don't worry."
"But Hero, you need to be in it too."
"I'll pop in a few times, but you're the star, Nina."
"Hmm..."
"Everyone'll know it's me anyway, right? Even if it's just the goods."
"...Y-Yeah, true. Okay then."
Nina started kneeling between his legs again, but he stopped her quick.
"Hold on, hold on."
"Yes?"
"These things need a good intro."
"R-Really? I don't know much, but if you say so, Hero..."
Han Siu grabbed her wrist and pulled her to sit beside him.
His side was usually Elaine's or Hildear's territory, so this was Nina's first time—so close, too. She tensed up instantly, body rigid.
"Relax, come on."
"O-Okay..."
"Alright, let's start recording first..."
Han Siu activated the recording crystal orb in his hand.
Thanks to heroes summoned from modern Earth or advanced sci-fi worlds, this realm had all sorts of conveniences. Many recording orbs were modded into video camera shapes, but those were pricey. Poor Nina only had the basic crystal orb.
"And now, we'll begin semen extraction time with the alchemist of Hero Han Siu's party."
Han Siu faced the orb, then shifted focus slightly to Nina.
"Alchemist Yang, introduce yourself."
"...Huh? Oh, yes. I'm Nina from Hamedori Village in the Slav Kingdom. No family name since I'm a commoner. T-Today, I'm collecting Hero Han Siu's s-semen... for the first time...♡"
Mid-sentence, an inexplicable pleasure ran down Nina's spine, making her shiver.
A brand-new sensation. So strange. Was it the recording, or finally tasting a man's semen? Actually, she'd tried it before.
The first time I got Hero's semen, I was so curious I scooped some up and tasted it...
It had been in another woman's mouth first, and a bit stale.
Not much quantity for Manjus Potions—just enough for a pinky dip. But even that sent Nina into ecstasy. She finally understood why men's semen was so rare and precious.
Now I'll taste it again... and haa, show that scene to the villagers...♡
Her heart raced.
"Nina? Keep going."
"Hnn, yes..."
"...?"
The aroused lilt in Nina's voice.
Clearly different from before recording started. He'd sensed anticipation, saliva, excitement earlier, but this was a whole new level.
Han Siu realized this was the fresh-faced alchemist girl's kink. Multiple factors overlapping—needed more testing, but maybe a lifelong hidden taste.
Village living up to its name... Hope the other folks aren't like this.
As he pondered, Nina continued her intro.
"...I lived in the village until around 12, then became the apprentice of my retired m-master... Learned alchemy for years, and this year, haa, I became an adult... And, um... Ah! Family. Yes, Mom and Dad are both alive, older siblings above, and two little ones below."
"Do your parents know about this kind of work?"
"Huh? Of course. Ugh, but they don't like it. They weren't thrilled about me apprenticing under Master either. But since I'm earning money, they grudgingly accepted. So I kept the Hero Academy a secret from them. Hehe, even from Master—only told my brother."
"Why?"
"Did n't want them worrying... I'm confident, though. See? I succeeded big-time, right? Well, not fully yet... Hmm, 'big-time' might be too much—it's mostly thanks to Hero♡"
"Right? Wanna talk more about that?"
"About that... Hero...? Ah!"
Nina took "that" as him. Han Siu had tossed it out casually anyway.
Unlike other heroes, his first-life memories made Earth feel ancient and hazy. Bits from back then mixed with his arousal, spit out loosely.
And Nina filled the gaps perfectly.
"Mom! Dad! Don't worry about me!"
Oh.
Nina waved cheerfully at her parents, flashing double peace signs.
"Nina's happy thanks to Hero♥ With his help, I'm extracting s-semen myself... haa, making tons of Manjus Potions too♥"
Double peace here? Never saw that coming.
"Now I'll show you Nina servicing Hero's cock to extract semen!"
