"Hm..."
"Mmph!"
"So, what are we going to do with this woman?"
Lilia eyed the blonde stalker glaring at me with venomous eyes as she spoke.
Killing intent was practically oozing from her, but honestly, the way she'd been clinging to the ceiling earlier had been even scarier.
Just thinking about it gave me chills. Ugh.
"I actually have a pretty good idea."
High-level stealth skills like this, combined with European features? Iris Guild was the only one that came to mind.
Of course, it might not be them, but the odds were highest.
Plus, there was the connection with Ellis.
"What business does the Iris Guild have with me?"
"Mmph!"
Even probing her lightly, the blonde's eyes didn't twitch.
She was clearly a pro—well-trained. She wouldn't bite at cheap provocations.
"Haa... I'm so busy today."
This wasn't the time to be messing around.
In my estimation, the odds of a terrorist attack were over 90%.
To prepare, I needed to scour every corner of the festival for suspicious types, but this stalker had thrown a wrench in things.
"You bastard. Who sent you? Now that you've seen my identity, I can't let you live!"
"Mmmph! Mmph!"
Lilia poked the blonde's side with what looked like a stick she'd grabbed from somewhere.
With her mouth bound by mana ropes, the blonde could only mumble in protest.
"What should we do with her...?"
"Just kill her, right?"
I was shocked that poking with the stick hadn't just been playful.
Lilia tossed out the brutal words casually, but I disagreed.
"Don't you have any useful spells? Something good for torture?"
"Mmph!"
No matter how I thought about it, Ellis was the only one who'd send something like this.
For whatever reason, she'd used the Iris Guild to investigate me.
I'd treated her so well—why pull this stunt? I had no idea.
Still, figuring out the reason was worth a shot.
Killing her could be the last resort if nothing else worked. Honestly, offing a beauty with my own hands felt off.
Luckily, we'd captured her alive, so we had time to try things out.
"Torture? That's succubus territory."
"Oh yeah?"
Lilia puffed out her chest confidently.
Torture succubi? First time hearing that one.
"Succubi have tons of spells tailored to weird fetishes. Heh heh."
"Ooh... Show me one."
I still didn't get the connection, but if she was that confident, there had to be something to it.
Lilia suddenly seemed reliable.
"Tickle Magic!"
Black energy flowed from Lilia's hand toward the crazy blonde.
"Mmph."
"..."
The blonde didn't roll on the floor unable to endure the tickling... at all.
She didn't even flinch, still glaring at me.
"Uh, what?"
"She looks delicate, but she's elite. Training's probably done."
"Th-then Body Odor Magic!"
"Mmph!"
"Body Odor Magic? What's that?"
"Fills her nose with the stench of sweat."
"Ooh..."
Talk about trash-tier.
Didn't she just say spells for special fetishes?
What kind of tastes did demons have, and what battles were succubi fighting...?
"Mmph!"
But the blonde showed no sign of pain this time either.
If anything, she straightened up defiantly. Torture training was definitely complete.
Physical pain was the basics, so that wouldn't work... Hm.
"Grr... Heat Magic!"
"Mmph."
Even the succubus specialty, Heat Magic, left the blonde stalker unfazed.
"It's not working. Her libido's probably trained too... Huh?"
Wait a sec. No matter the training... could a human really train their womb?
'Guess we'll find out.'
I loosened the mana ropes around her midsection just a bit.
Then placed my hand on her lower abdomen and injected mana.
My mana seeped into her belly, touching her womb directly.
"Mmph! Mmrrph?! Grk!"
"Now you're feeling it, huh?"
Welcome. First womb massage?
"Grk! Mmph!"
Her body trembled each time I injected mana. Nailed it.
Found a method that worked, so now to make magic circles. We had to move soon.
I created one to maintain the mana ropes binding her, and another to stimulate her womb.
The womb one took longer, but with my heightened magic from awakening, I pulled it off.
"Grrk! Grk!"
Seeing the blonde writhing, fully bound while getting her womb massaged, gave me an odd sense of pride.
I won in the end!
"Lilia, I'm heading out. Keep an eye on her."
"Why didn't my Heat Magic work...?"
Lilia still seemed miffed her spells failed.
"Simple arousal can be endured with mental fortitude."
I couldn't resist Heat Magic because I'm the eroge protagonist.
Anything libido-related kills my self-control weirdly.
But this woman was different. She'd probably undergone insane anti-torture training.
"Hmm... But isn't your magic similar?"
"Mine's different. No anti-torture prep goes that deep into the womb."
She might've trained against insertions causing pain. But blocking direct womb pleasure? No way.
Without precise control from [Mana Sensitivity], it wouldn't even be possible.
"Ugh... Fine."
"Yeah. I'll be back tonight for sure, so wait up."
I ruffled the sulking Lilia's hair and headed out of the dorm.
Time to hunt terrorists.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Hmm... No matter how I think about it, this doesn't make sense. Succubi are torture experts..."
Lilia stared intently at the blonde thrashing in pleasure.
Her whole body was bound in mana ropes, and the tights between her legs were soaked through.
"My magic didn't work, but why... Ugh."
This was a matter of succubus pride.
She had to prove her mother's words that succubi were masters of torture.
Succubi could even arouse other women.
Sure, exciting women was incubi territory, but some men loved watching females get each other going, so succubi needed that skill too.
"Is it because I lack experience with other girls...? Heat Magic!"
"Mmph... Hn."
"Heat Magic!"
"Mmmgh..."
"No real reaction."
Lilia tilted her head at the bound Scarlett.
"Mmmph!"
Scarlett, the Iris Guild elite caught tailing Lee Ho-yeon, felt like she was losing her mind.
What the hell was this student who spotted her stealth, this magic making her womb throb and head spin, and this tail-wagging girl?
"Mmph!"
Her grueling training had prepped her for torture.
For humiliations involving shame, she even had suicide poison hidden in her teeth.
But they knew that—her body could move a little, but her mouth was sealed tight.
In that state, the womb-throbbing pleasure was unbearable.
She thought she'd conquered mere lust, but this was new. If she'd known, she'd have trained harder.
Of course, considering Lee Ho-yeon's heroines climaxed from a few womb stims, Scarlett was holding out amazingly.
But as time passed, her defenses weakened, and Lilia's stacked Heat Magic pushed her to her limit.
"Mmph! Mmmph!"
Scarlett pursued an efficient, constructive life. Spying was just what she was best at.
In other words, she'd switch sides anytime for better terms. Her life came first.
But these lunatics weren't giving her the chance.
"Mmmph! Uuuph!"
'Please, let me go. I'll hear your terms.'
Scarlett desperately signaled her willingness to negotiate, but Lilia ignored it.
"Hmm. Womb stimulation... Yeah, it is intensely arousing."
Lilia rubbed her own belly.
Lee Ho-yeon had only done it to her once, but the pleasure had overwhelmed her body.
Just recalling it made her womb quiver...
"Womb... Huh?"
Lilia looked at her tail.
It seemed longer since meeting Lee Ho-yeon. She wiggled it around.
"Womb stimulation... Could I do it with this?"
Succubus tails were for caressing men, soft enough to stimulate without hurting.
That's why she always wrapped it around Lee Ho-yeon's leg during sex.
To reclaim succubus pride from the floor, Lilia raised her tail.
"Mmph! Mmmph!"
Scarlett felt uneasy at the girl's grinning face.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "It's too peaceful?"
Didn't feel like a terrorist attack was brewing. Then again, atmospheres before attacks never did.
Everyone would flee if they knew ahead.
'If I were the terrorist, prime spots to hit...'
To kill masses? Central square, obviously.
But their goal wasn't just slaughter.
Using humans as sacrifices to summon the Demon King.
Sacrifices with high mana were best.
Hence, they targeted cadets often.
Weaker than active hunters, but mana far above civilians—perfect prey.
"Park... No, the booths."
Crowded spots would make escape easier.
Civilians were mixed in with academy folk now, guards thin—chaos would cover a getaway.
"Hmm..."
Maybe it wouldn't happen today.
Hours of patrolling, no suspicious activity.
As I shook my head and sat on a bench to rest, I sensed faint mana vibrations from underneath.
So subtle, only intense focus caught it.
"What the hell."
A small mana device was attached beneath the bench.
⚠️ TIMED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE ⚠️ Grade: Mid-Low A device with explosion runes engraved on a machine embedded with a low-grade mana stone. Detonates after the set time. (12 seconds remaining) "Fuck..."
I immediately hurled the device into the nearby pond.
Boom-! Boom-!
KABOOM-!
A massive water plume erupted from the pond, and explosions began rocking the festival grounds simultaneously.
"Wh-what?! Terrorism!"
"Run! Run!"
Cadets and civilians plunged into panic amid the blasts everywhere.
I calmly assessed the situation.
'The blasts themselves aren't that powerful. It's a diversion.'
The pond plume confirmed it—no lethality.
Even up close, just minor burns. But the noise was deafening.
Intended to induce panic.
"Gather at the guards nearby!"
"Guards! Where are the guards!"
Guards drew weapons to protect people, who flocked to them.
'This many guards...?'
Unnaturally high numbers.
And a thick sense of wrongness emanated from those shouting to gather.
With this much security, no terrorist would strike during Pandemic.
'Clairvoyance.'
I activated Clairvoyance to track mana flows.
Several guards showed suspicious mana activity.
"Found you."
That was the real terror.
Disguised as guards? How long had they planned this?
Whoosh-
Flames ignited in both my hands as I charged into the chaos.
