Mineva
Mineva
A quaint building, with a basic base carved from wood, and walls built up with bricks.
This was the inn where I originally stayed.
Though I've checked out now.
Anyway, the reason I'm here now?
It was to meet Mari and Reed.
They both have homes, so why didn't they go home and come here instead?
Isn't it obvious? They've probably been having frantic sex since last night.
As for their parents... they must have made up good excuses on their own.
-Knock, knock.
"Mari~"
-............
There was no answer from inside.
Hmm..., the carriage time is really getting close now.
How intense must it have been last night for them not to be able to get up even as the afternoon approaches?
I'll knock one more time, and if there's still no response, I'll have to leave.
Of course, even if I say goodbye, it's not like we'll never meet again.
-Knock, knock.
"Mari? Reed? I'm leaving now, okay?"
-............
There's nothing for it.
If I get a chance to come to Riverrun again, let's meet and talk then.
As I made that resolve and finally turned to leave,
-Click.
"Lu, ugh. Lunia-ssi...... Ugh. Ugh."
"Mari?"
The inn door opened, and Mari answered.
However, Mari hadn't opened the door completely; only her head was peeking out.
"I'm about to leave now."
".....Ah, ugh. Yes, yes..."
Mari's reaction was also a beat late.
Unlike yesterday, when she cried and clung to me when I said I was leaving, now there was no reaction after her 'yes' answer.
And groans mixed in between.
"Haa...... What, am I supposed to be embarrassed?"
"Heeek!"
Honestly, at this point, couldn't anyone tell?
I'm not some protagonist in an NTR story; there's no way I wouldn't notice this.
"These guys, someone's leaving, and they're completely engrossed in sex?"
"Kya, kyaak! I'm sorry, Lunia-ssi!"
At least they should have stopped what they were doing and come out, shouldn't they?
I don't know what kind of reaction they expected from me, but I was a little annoyed by their attitude.
With the intention of teasing them, I threw the door open with all my might, and Mari and Reed, who had been hiding behind the door, were revealed naked side-by-side in the inn hallway.
At that, a startled Mari and Reed covered their bodies with their hands and scurried back into the room.
"Puh-heup."
After trying hard to suppress my laughter at their rather comical appearance,
"I'm really going now. Let's meet again if I come to Riverrun next time, or if you two come to The Capital. Goodbye!"
"W-wait a moment, Lunia-ssi!"
"Oh, and if you've been doing that much, your parents must have noticed. Don't just strip anywhere you feel like it! I'm really going!"
With those final words, I slammed the inn door shut and left.
I heard Mari saying something from behind, as if asking me to wait, but my steps didn't falter.
Rather than being angry, it was because if I kept looking at Mari, I felt like I'd postpone the time to go to The Capital.
Thanks to that, I wasn't late for the carriage heading to The Capital, and I climbed right onto it.
"We're departing now-!"
I'm going to The Capital to learn magic, but I don't know when, where, or to whom I should go in The Capital.
I just hoped that my immediate departure for The Capital wasn't a wrong path in the game's story.

-Mung-keul.
Explosive? Violent?
No, two enormous peaks that couldn't be described by either of those words.
The massive breasts swayed.
"Hoo, are you daring to provoke me, Mineba?"
The owner of the massive breasts was not just one person.
-Horok.
The woman sitting opposite tilted the teacup in her hand and replied.
"Huhu, how could I ever do such a thing to Your Majesty?"
Mineba said so, subtly supporting her chest with her arm.
At Mineba's reaction—
"Hmm."
The Emperor sitting opposite Mineba, frowned deeply.
That's not to say the woman sitting opposite Mineba was small either.
On the contrary, unless they stripped, one wouldn't even dare to compare their sizes.
Yet, both knew each other's breast size, and Mineba was gloating over the fact that she was slightly larger by a very subtle difference.
Of course, the social rank of The Emperor opposite her was higher.
"So? Have you found the disciple you so desperately wanted to find?"
"I've found a talent that roughly matches."
"Hoo. A 'human' who is neither a Witch nor an Elf, yet possesses aptitude for all attributes."
The Emperor propped her chin with a smooth hand, falling into thought for a moment.
Because of this, a brief silence fell, and the one who broke it was none other than Mineba.
"According to what I heard from an eastern merchant, her appearance and figure are also exquisite...... if that's true, I intend to take her as my disciple by any means necessary."
The Emperor, having heard Mineba's words, spoke.
"More beautiful than me, you say?"
"Hoho, how could I ever challenge Your Majesty in terms of beauty?"
"Hmph, don't suddenly use such polite language. It's disgusting."
"Oh my, oh my, where is there a woman as fitting for Your Majesty as I am? This maiden is hurt, I say?"
When Mineba said that, The Emperor, as if she had seen something unseemly—
"Tsk."
She clicked her tongue irritably.
The Emperor merely clicked her tongue, but she didn't refute Mineba's words.
In fact, she enjoyed conversing with Mineba the most.
Even though she was a Tyrant who orchestrated slaughter and murder, she always pursued knowledge and rationality, so she enjoyed conversing with people who were on a similar intellectual level.
Someone's background, naturally, would be different from her own.
Because the values of someone who lived in a different background would be completely different from her own values.
That is why she was called a Tyrant.
She would kill enemy soldiers, capture generals, and then converse with them.
And their end was always death.
Those ignorant of knowledge called The Emperor a Tyrant who simply toyed with people until their last moments before death, crushed their hopes, and then killed them.
Those with mediocre knowledge couldn't understand her.
"It would be good if she were a smart woman, if possible."
"Hmph, are you already tired of this maiden, I ask?"
The Emperor, who was expected to frown at Mineba's nonsense once again, instead grinned broadly and—
"Ah, I want to take that child from you and have her bear my child."
There is no way for a woman to impregnate another woman.
That is a scientifically proven fact, and such a fact certainly wouldn't exist in the game's settings either.
However.
But this is a world where magic exists, and at the same time—
With all sorts of Mods installed, if there's even a single possibility.
That possibility would grow to an undeniable size, and as a result, the world's 'knowledge' would also change.
And as if that outcome were natural,
"W-what...! That is the Forbidden Magic of the Witch Clan!"
A method existed.
Mineba, who always showed a mature demeanor, for some reason began to look flustered and ramble.
At that sight, The Emperor smiled sweetly, pleased that she had gotten one over on Mineba.
Nevertheless, The Emperor was merely pleased to have gotten one over on Mineba; she didn't retract her intention.
"What does it matter? I am not a Witch, nor am I the Emperor of this nation. I just need to make it not forbidden."
"Are you, are you joking with me right now, Your Majesty?"
"Of course, it's a joke. It's definitely a joke."
"Ha."
Mineba let out a cold sigh, as if dumbfounded.
The Emperor, who had completely taken control of the conversation, picked up her teacup, sipped her black tea—horup—and then issued an order to dismiss her guest.
"It seems that child has been caught in your senses. Go out quickly."
"............It was an informative time today as well, Your Majesty."
Perhaps it was because they had talked so much until now.
Between The Emperor and Mineba, there was nothing that could be hidden, even if they wanted to.
The Emperor could read all of Mineba's small gestures and glances, and indeed, she caught even Mineba's slightest differences.
In short, just by rolling her eyes ever so slightly, The Emperor knew who Mineba had found in her senses.
Therefore, even if Mineba cursed The Emperor inwardly, The Emperor would read even that.
Mineba, for whom even the thought of cursing was a waste, bowed with her usual gesture at The Emperor's dismissal order and left the room.
And just before leaving the room—
"Come and introduce her to me soon. I will be waiting."
Mineba left without answering The Emperor's final words.
Of course, she didn't turn her head either.
Because she could clearly tell what expression The Emperor was making just from her voice.
And if she were to turn her head right now, The Emperor would surely read even her slightest emotions.
-Kwang!
Mineba slammed the door shut irritably and left.
Because the gap in status and power between herself and The Emperor was clear, this was the biggest act of defiance she could manage.
'Crazy Emperor bitch.'
She knew that The Emperor was bisexual, enjoying both men and women, but she never expected her to reveal such desires so openly in front of her.
And she was furious that she couldn't say anything in response in front of The Emperor.
The Emperor had the power to make her words come true.
Because she truly had the power to take away her disciple (not yet).
And perhaps, if she wished—
She was such a crazy bitch that she would truly use the Forbidden Magic of the Witch Clan on her own body, so the fact that she was too scared to respond made her absolutely furious.
It seemed she would have to go to great lengths to keep the disciple (whom she hadn't even met) under her wing, so as not to lose her.
