The Trap
Boom! The button exploded like a tiny bomb, transforming into a hidden projectile that shot forward in an instant.
Swish! It grazed my cheek, leaving a sharp cut behind. I ignored the stinging pain spreading across my skin and focused my gaze.
Pink!
As expected, the Saintess’s underwear matched her hair perfectly. A cute lace bra with delicate frills was struggling heroically to contain her ferociously large breasts. But underwear wasn’t what mattered.
I kept marveling at the deep, inviting cleavage that seemed to call out to me. Perfect! Like a masterpiece an artisan had poured their entire life into, her breasts had no flaws whatsoever. Her pure white skin—free of a single blemish or even visible pores—radiated both innocence and overwhelming sensuality. That contrast drove men wild.
My brain, stretching a single second into eternity, captured the Saintess’s breasts in perfect clarity. Even as a throbbing headache spread through my skull, I paid it no mind. Still, no matter how hard I tried, concentration had its limits. My accelerated thoughts gradually returned to normal speed, and time began to flow once more.
“Kyaaah!”
The moment the Saintess confirmed the button had burst, she wrapped her arms around her chest. Of course, her slender arms couldn’t possibly cover everything. As I continued to devour the tantalizing gaps with my eyes, she shrieked.
“Stop staring and help me!”
“Huh?”
“What if someone else shows up? Hurry!”
Someone else? The second that possibility crossed my mind, my mood plummeted spectacularly.
That can’t happen.
Those breasts weren’t for sharing. Only I would enjoy them. Only I would savor them.
I quickly stripped off my outer garment and draped it over the Saintess’s chest.
“Cover yourself with this for now.”
“Th-thank you. Then… could you pick up the buttons? I can fix it with holy magic!”
“Understood.”
At her command, I scooped up the buttons at blinding speed and handed them over. The moment she accepted them, a brilliant radiance burst forth. Thread and buttons flew back into place, seamlessly repairing the shirt.
It was a little… no, incredibly disappointing.
“Whew… All done. What on earth just happened?”
“I never expected the button to explode either. It surprised me too.”
“Hmph! Liar. You were completely lost in ogling me.”
“Any man would’ve done the same. Anyway, let’s get moving. It’s the Plant Research Club, right?”
“I don’t know!”
“Right. Let’s hurry!”
I quickened my pace, practically running.
I should head to the dungeon soon.
There was an artifact in the empire’s northwestern highlands that could perfectly reproduce images from my mind as photographs. Today’s memory had to be preserved and passed down through the generations as a family treasure.

“Oh my! What a handsome junior we have here?”
“Welcome. You came for a tour, correct?”
This was the Plant Research Club. The two women who greeted us practically oozed mature allure. Well, it felt like they were only truly greeting me.
Who are these people?
Regardless, I couldn’t hide my admiration as the two seniors introduced themselves as the club president and vice president. Their beauty was only slightly below the Saintess’s level. Their figures couldn’t compare to hers, of course, but they were still voluptuously endowed—just not quite at the level of those heavenly breasts.
To think women like this existed inside the academy.
They were attractive enough to appear as supporting characters, so why had I never seen them in the game? It made them even more suspicious.
“Come, sit here.”
“Thank you, Vice President.”
“Oh my, just call me Meloni-senpai. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other from now on, won’t we?”
Meloni winked playfully. Her deep purple eyes, the same shade as her hair, sparkled with seductive charm.
“Understood, Meloni-senpai.”
“Hehe! Our junior is such a good listener. The other members are all so rebellious.”
“Really? They looked like they were working hard when I saw them earlier.”
The club members I’d passed on the way all had heavy dark circles under their eyes, looking utterly exhausted. Even during our visit they refused to put down their work. I’d actually wondered if this place was some kind of sweatshop.
“Not at all. They only exert themselves on trivial tasks. When it comes to anything important, they’re useless. In contrast, I get the feeling you’d handle important work very well.”
Meloni slowly dragged her gaze across my entire body, then licked her lips. It was a simple gesture, yet so erotic that blood began rushing straight to my groin.
At that moment, the previously silent Saintess cut in.
“Rather than that, I’d like to begin the tour quickly. I heard you cultivate all sorts of plants here.”
“Ah, of course. But who were you again? E… Erina?”
“It’s Eris!”
“Ah, right. You must really love plants. If you’re that eager, we’ll start the tour immediately. Is that alright, President?”
Meloni sought permission from the president, who had been watching us with a haughty expression. The president swept her red hair back and stood up.
“Let’s go together. I was planning to inspect the greenhouse anyway.”
“Really? Wonderful. Let’s all go together. The president has extensive knowledge of plants, so feel free to ask her anything you’re curious about.”
“Understood.”
“…Please.”
And so we headed to the greenhouse with President Reina and Vice President Meloni.
The greenhouse was located in the empty lot behind the clubroom. The moment I stepped inside, the humid air hit me and I frowned.
“Wow, it’s incredibly hot in here.”
“Hehe! It is a greenhouse, after all. Plants can’t endure cold very well. Let’s go deeper. There are many different flowers waiting.”
I ended up touring the greenhouse almost like I was on a private date with Meloni. Trailing behind us were the Saintess, wearing a sullen expression, and the president, who seemed naturally quiet as she silently observed the flowers.
Then it happened.
Bzzzzz! A vibration sounded from behind. The president pulled a badge from her pocket—a call bell provided by the club. Her previously relaxed demeanor vanished as her face hardened with seriousness. She exchanged glances with Vice President Meloni. They appeared to be communicating through telepathy.
At that moment, whatever Meloni heard made her eyes waver. She glanced sideways at me and the Saintess. She quickly noticed her mistake and tried to act casual, but both the Saintess and I immediately caught her agitation.
While we were coordinating our plan, the president finished her silent exchange with Meloni and spoke up.
“I’m sorry, but something urgent has come up. I’ll have to leave now. My apologies to both of you. Meloni, I’m counting on you.”
“Yes, President. Please go ahead.”
“See you later.”
Leaving those words behind, the president exited the greenhouse.
We were about to resume the tour when the Saintess made a troubled face.
“Um… excuse me for a moment.”
“Yes? What’s wrong?”
“May I use the restroom?”
“Ah…”
Meloni, who had been tense, let out a small sigh before nodding willingly.
“Of course. Go ahead. You know where it is, right?”
“Naturally. I’ll be right back.”
With permission granted, the Saintess dashed out of the greenhouse. It was impressive how well she could run while carrying those heavy breasts.
Then Meloni whispered to me.
“It’s just the two of us now, isn’t it?”
“Uh, yes?”
“Hehe! It’s nothing. Shall we continue the tour? There are still many greenhouses you haven’t seen.”
Meloni gently took my hand and led me forward.
What is she planning?
In a normal situation, I might have been excited by such aggressive advances from a beautiful woman. But after what had just happened, I clearly sensed something suspicious, so my heart remained perfectly calm.
Continuing onward with that suspicion, we arrived at a unique greenhouse. In the center bloomed a single solitary flower. The red blossom with a strange pattern reminiscent of the sun drew the eye in an almost unnatural way.
“What is that?”
“Ah, that’s called a sun herb.”
“…A sun herb?”
“Yes. Would you like to take a closer look? The Plant Research Club has been focusing on it lately. It’s not something you can easily see elsewhere.”
She approached the sun herb, bent at the waist, and brought her nose close to the petals.
“Haaang… The scent is truly intoxicating. Would you like to smell it too, junior?”
“…Then excuse me.”
I nearly got hard on the spot. What kind of flower scent made someone moan like that? Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was in the middle of having sex.
After getting Meloni’s permission, I carefully inhaled the fragrance of the sun herb.
“Hup!?”
The scent was violently intense. I wasn’t even sure it could be called a fragrance. The moment I breathed it in, a sharp, burning energy pierced straight into my nasal cavity. Yet if someone asked whether I disliked it, the answer was no. It had a strangely addictive quality.
The sun herb’s aroma seeped through my nose and set my entire body on fire. Blood rushed violently to my groin.
Ah, shit.
It seemed the problem was Meloni’s lewd moans from earlier. I tried to circulate my mana to control the blood flow, but it wasn’t working. For some reason, my body refused to listen.
As I remained bent over, Meloni—who had somehow moved right beside me—whispered seductively.
“Junior. Are you hard?”
“What? Ah, no, that’s…”
“Oh my, how magnificent. I’ve never seen a cock like this before.”
Marveling at the erection that threatened to tear through my pants, she reached out and gently stroked the shaft over the fabric.
“Junior. Do you know something?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ve already been found out.”
The lust-filled eyes suddenly turned ice-cold. The instant I realized I had fallen into a trap and tried to push her away, an abnormality occurred in my body.
Thump!
“Ugh!?”
My heart pounded violently. The heat that had dominated my entire body concentrated entirely in my cock. Flooded with excessive yang energy, it burned so hot it felt ready to explode. Not only heat—every ounce of strength seemed to be drained from me. My body staggered uncontrollably.
“What the hell did you do to me?”
“Hehe! You already know, don’t you? The sun herb is the main ingredient for aphrodisiacs.”
“Aphrodisiac?”
“That’s right. The drug those idiots got caught using at the party. Still, impressive. You still have the energy to talk? I’m getting more and more excited. I wonder what your essence tastes like?”
“So you were a succubus?”
“Hehe! You finally noticed? But it’s far too late. All you can do now, junior, is quietly offer your essence to me.”
She licked her lips sensually, then lightly poked my forehead with her index finger. My body instantly stiffened like a wooden plank and collapsed to the ground.
Meloni slowly climbed on top of me.
“Junior. Have you ever had sex in a flower bed before?”
“……”
“Just so you know, it’s my first time too. Before you die, I’ll show you heaven.”
Whoosh!
With a wave of Meloni’s hand, my uniform melted away under her mana and vanished completely.
