Chapter Title: Fap Material
"Long time no see?! Luna, Aiden?!"
A woman with shimmering aquamarine hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"Taylor?! Is that you? The magic merchant who moved here?"
Luna recoiled in shock as she spoke, and Taylor nodded vigorously.
"Yeah! I just graduated from the Magic Tower, so I figured I'd move here to be with you."
Taylor's gaze lingered on me.
"Aiden, it's been a while. You just left me hanging like that—hope you've been well?"
Her teasing words left me flustered.
Raoul and Taylor, both drugged with aphrodisiacs.
I'd just abandoned them in my room and left.
After that, I only heard that Taylor got pregnant and married Raoul…
I had no idea they'd come to Vain.
And relocated, no less?
As I nodded stiffly, frozen in place, Taylor grinned mischievously.
"Aw, what? Scared I might do something to you?"
She waved her hand up and down with an innocent look, leaving me utterly confused.
Why hadn't Raoul mentioned this in his letters?
"Well…"
I hesitated and stepped back.
But Taylor just beamed, practically glowing.
"Okay, sure, dumping me—magicless and all—on Raoul when he was like a wild beast was pretty harsh."
Harsh my ass. She'd tried to wipe my mind and hand me over to him.
"Taylor! That matter…"
Sensing things turning sour, Luna stepped forward.
"Pfft!"
Taylor burst out laughing as Luna approached.
That was when—
-Wah! Wah!
"Oh? Lucas is crying."
She bolted away in a flash.
Luna and I could only exchange glances.
The newborn's wail made it obvious who Lucas was.
Their kid?
"What're you waiting for? Come on in."
Taylor's voice called from the open door of the shop. We stepped inside.
"Oh, come on! Raoul! If Lucas is crying, check the diaper first!"
A black-haired man cradled and soothed the newborn.
Raoul…
He patted the baby's back, trying to calm the cries…
"I already checked the diaper. It wasn't that."
Raoul met our eyes.
"Ah?"
Taylor smacked his arm in surprise.
"What're you doing? Give Lucas here, quick."
"Ah… here."
She took him gently.
"Baby! Mommy's here! Didn't like Daddy's arms?"
Watching her coo at the child hit me hard.
Her? That… that! A lesbian having a son and doting on him?!
With her man-hating streak, she'd be the type to dump him on Raoul!
As I stared at Taylor in disbelief—
"It's been too long, both of you."
Raoul bowed politely to us.
"Ah… uh…"
Luna was so stunned she just gawked at Taylor. I shot at Raoul curtly.
"If you're relocating here, why not mention it in a letter beforehand?"
He flashed an awkward smile.
"Well… I meant to, but…"
He glanced sideways at Taylor.
Aha! So she told you not to?
"No can do. Looks like Lucas is hungry, so I'll be in the room."
As Taylor vanished, Luna and I glared at Raoul.
"Haha… I'll go fetch some tea."
With Raoul gone too, Luna and I were left alone in the living room.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ A moment later…
Raoul brought tea, and Taylor emerged cradling Lucas.
"So, what brings you two here?"
Luna cleared her throat at her puzzled question.
"Ahem… We heard a new magic shop opened and came to check it out."
"Ah-ha? Surprised I'm the owner?"
Luna sighed wearily at Taylor's playful tone.
"As if… Sigh. Whatever. What's the point of talking to you? We're heading out."
Maybe it was Taylor, but Luna looked exhausted.
"Oh, wait—since you're here, send me some of that Yin-Yang Brew."
"Yin-Yang Brew?"
Luna and I exchanged looks.
"It's a local specialty, right? Raoul loves everything else, but he's no Aiden in the size department."
Silence blanketed the room after her bombshell…
"Dear?!"
"Wha… what?"
"H-How do you know about that?!"
Luna's eyes blazed as she grabbed my collar and shook me.
"Cheating?! You cheater?!"
"No?! I didn't! Why would I with a lesbian like her?!"
"Then how does Taylor know you're huge?!"
Her eyes shook with confusion, disappointment, and shock.
"You're the dad?! The baby's father?!"
Why the hell would I be the dad?!
Taylor howled with laughter at us.
"Heehee! Pfft-haha!"
"Dear, tell them the truth before Sir Aiden gets hurt."
"S-Save… meee~!"
As I desperately appealed to Raoul…
Taylor smiled brightly.
"Luna, I only have eyes for my hubby. I know Aiden's packing because I used you two as fap material while peeping on your lovemaking."
Finally, Luna and I sighed in relief.
"Phew, what a relief."
"See? I'm innocent… Wait, fap material?!"
Luna's relief shattered; her face hardened instantly.
Flustered and embarrassed, our faces flushed as we turned to Taylor, demanding answers…
"Back at the Grand Duke's palace, I used watching you two fuck as fap material."
-Shing!
A chilling sound rang in my ears…
Luna surged at Taylor, sword drawn in a blur, but Raoul blocked it with his own blade.
-Clang!
Huh? New sword?
Raoul had swapped his ridiculously huge blade for a standard longsword.
"I'll kill you."
Luna radiated murderous intent, Raoul blocking it as they faced off.
"Your Grace?"
Luna's face burned crimson.
She looked mortified, but her voice dripped venom.
Taylor smirked.
"C'mon, friends can share. Wanna watch us too?"
"Why the hell would we?!"
"D-Dear… I'd kinda like to…"
"Hubby, you know how big Aiden's cock is? It's as thick as my forearm! Heh heh!"
I yelled desperately as she gripped her elbow and pumped her hand.
"That's not true! Mine's not that big!"
"Puhaha!"
Her raucous laughter made my face burn.
-Wah! Wah!
Oh no… Amid the chaos, Taylor startled and soothed her son.
What a mess. Total mess…
After calming Lucas again—
"Getting you Yin-Yang Brew is no big deal…"
I eyed Raoul steadily.
Is he that weak?
My stare was too obvious; Raoul scowled.
"I have no issues at night, so spare me that look."
"Ah… sorry. Ahem… Anyway, Yin-Yang Brew's easy. But it doesn't work on me."
My prowess came from top-tier aphrodisiacs: unicorn horn and Dragon Heart brew.
"Huh? Then what makes you so huge?"
I brushed it off casually to puzzled Taylor.
"I downed some Dragon Heart brew and unicorn horn—rarer than Yin-Yang."
Her eyes bulged in shock.
"What?! Unicorn horn?! Th-That thing's real? And you used something that precious as an aphrodisiac?!"
Her face shifted from confusion to realization and relief.
"Aha~! No wonder my mind-break spell failed. And I was a virgin then, so higher magic resistance."
Her self-deprecating tone left me dumbfounded.
"Aphrodisiacs do that?"
She frowned at my tone.
"No… Why waste something so rare on boner pills?!"
"Dunno? It was a gift…"
Taylor snorted.
"Who the hell gifts something that precious as an aphrodisiac?!"
The Emperor of this empire.
But I kept quiet to protect my brother's image.
"Anyway, I have some unicorn horn left and plenty of Dragon Heart, so no problem."
Yin-Yang Brew sold out constantly.
Nice revenue stream.
Dragon Heart? Trickier for market—permanent stamina boost kills repeat buys.
I'd considered selling a few if finances got tight, but plans on hold.
Hundreds of bottles just taking up space.
Taylor's eyes sparkled.
"Really? Thanks, Aiden!"
"No sweat."
Maybe I could get her advice on scaling Three-Pronged Leaf production?
She'd gone full mom-mode, but still a top mage.
"But I need your help in return."
"With what?"
"Nothing major. I've been working on something…"
I explained the production bottlenecks for Yin-Yang Brew.
"Hmm? Brewing ain't easy, yeah."
"Any magical fixes?"
She pondered.
"Hmm… Maybe?"
Deep in thought.
"Ah! That could work!"
"What?"
Taylor explained with a sly smile.
