Golden Apple
"Yes, I've decided..."
At my monologue, the three restless people started looking at me.
And just as they began to express their doubts, I spoke.
"On the contrary, I'm proposing a deal."
"............A deal?"
At the word "deal," Arnold looked a little surprised.
Indeed, they wouldn't feel the need to make a deal with me when Lunia, a high-class prostitute, would satisfy their desires even if they just stayed put.
And the bond between them and Jerad seemed quite strong.
However, despite that, I would offer them a very enticing Golden Apple as a condition, one they couldn't refuse.
No matter what, I was confident that no man would reject this condition.
The Golden Apple I would offer wasn't an apple from a withered tree, but an apple from a tree that had just begun to bear fruit.
"First, reduce the gold coins to be offered to Jerad from 300 to 50."
"............That's absurd. Jerad would surely know."
If that were the case, I had a plan.
"Listen carefully. I'll explain it just once."
And so, I slowly conveyed my plan to them.
My plan was this:
First, before a week passed, I would go to Jerad and report, laying the groundwork.
That Lunia resisted the contract of her own will, making it utterly impossible to lift Lunia's skirt.
Then, Jerad would be quite flustered by this new information.
In that case, Jerad would begin an investigation to see if there were any loopholes in the contract, and thus the first week would fizzle out inconclusively.
Of course, even so, from the second week onwards, money would have to be offered to Jerad.
I didn't know how much it would be, but it wouldn't exceed 50 gold at least.
And after that, the amount of money offered each week would gradually decrease, eventually making it impossible for my body to earn money.
For that to happen, just one excuse would be enough.
If I reported to Jerad that "since Lunia absolutely wouldn't open her legs, the male students also lost interest," he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
So what about the money not sent to Jerad?
Isn't it obvious?
I'd take it all for myself.
Then, of course, the three wouldn't be convinced.
They had each offered 50 gold to Jerad to gain the opportunity to monopolize my body, so if things went that way, they would only be left with a loss.
That's where my condition would come into play.
"............I-I'll... do it."
"What? I can't hear you well, Lunia."
It was truly, truly embarrassing to say this myself, but this was the most important Golden Apple.
"I'll... let you use my cunt..."
"—...................."
And so, our deal was struck.
##
It was almost a disaster.
Somehow, I managed to conclude the deal, but I was almost fucked all day.
That's because as soon as I blurted out words too embarrassing to say, they immediately tried to pounce on me.
Somehow, I managed to escape by firmly telling them to be satisfied with a blowjob for today, but...
Well...
If they had been a little more forceful, I might have gotten even more aroused in that situation.
"Phew............"
-Thump, thump.
How did it come to this?
By the time I returned to my room in the dormitory, a subtle Sage Time washed over me.
Just looking at myself, Sage Time couldn't *not* come.
Even as I walked, the faint smell of semen wafting from my face and hair bothered my nose.
And that wasn't all.
From the crevice below, I felt wetness every time I walked, every time I crossed my legs.
Men are men, but a woman's body gets aroused just as easily as a man's.
'............Or am I just a pervert...?'
Honestly, I didn't know which was the correct answer.
"Huuuh............"
I needed to go to the dormitory and wash up quickly.
Like this, I was so uncomfortable that far from getting aroused, I just felt more unpleasant.
As I hurried my steps and tried to walk towards the Women's Dormitory—
"............Huh? Lu, Lunia?"
"............Huh?"
Someone called my name.
And when I instinctively checked the face of the person who called my name, I couldn't help but be a little flustered.
That's because the person who called my name was...
"Wh-why are you coming out of the Men's Dormitory...?"
It was Lady Ehiton.
And of all times, she ended up confronting me as I came out of the Men's Dormitory.
If the distance had been just a little further, I could have somehow made an excuse, saying I wasn't coming out of the Men's Dormitory.
How could I possibly run into her just as I was coming out of the main gate of the Men's Dormitory?
"W-well............"
What should I say?
What excuse could there be?
A roughly fabricated excuse, like I received something from a male student I knew.
Or, that I returned notes from class?
I tried to come up with various excuses, but any excuse was dismissed.
Because Lady Ehiton would remember me from before I became a woman.
In other words, she would remember me from when I showed my hatred for men.
While we were together, I used to hate men who hit on me or gave me blatant stares, treating them like insects.
Of course, it's not much different now.
It's not like I would suddenly start liking men in an instant, is it?
What I showed just now was............
Well. It's not that I like men, it's that 'cock' is good.
Seriously.
Anyway.
To get back to the story, should I tell Lady Ehiton, who remembers me as someone who utterly detested men, that I know a man?
That would be not even trying to deceive her.
So, in conclusion, I couldn't think of an excuse.
I racked my brain, but no excuse came to mind.
So, as I silently bowed my head without answering, Lady Ehiton's expression gradually began to crumple.
Then she started mumbling something.
"......Precious...... experience...... because of me."
I wanted to hear what Lady Ehiton was mumbling, what she was saying.
But honestly, I couldn't hear a single thing.
If she mumbled with her head bowed low like a criminal, there was no way it would reach the person in front of her.
However, I soon gave up on trying to hear what she was mumbling.
Thinking about it, it was true.
Clearly, my relationship with Lady Ehiton didn't end well.
Well, since I betrayed her trust, it wouldn't be worth responding.
I didn't particularly hate her.
But upon reflection, I wondered if I really needed to make excuses to her.
Of course, that didn't mean I intended to share my promiscuous acts from just now either.
I just,
I just wished Lady Ehiton didn't know about my private life.
What Jerad did to me, what contract Jerad made as a final condition.
And what I had been doing just now.
I wished she didn't know any of those facts.
Why?
Because I was ashamed of what I had done so far?
No.
Lady Ehiton knows me well, but conversely, I also know Lady Ehiton well.
Because we had spent time together.
If Lady Ehiton knew the situation I was in, would she say I deserved it?
Would she say it served me right for betraying her?
Absolutely not.
Lady Ehiton would feel guilty instead.
Even if she thought I deserved to suffer, from Lady Ehiton's perspective, suffering would be something like getting bird droppings on her head while walking down the street.
That's because, after pushing me away like that in the sparring arena.
Yet, when we meet again here, isn't she worried about why I'm coming out of there?
A typical person wouldn't even look at or talk to someone they fought with or pushed away.
Lady Ehiton was, if anything, unfairly considerate.
Even though I was the one who hurt her first, far from ignoring me, concern came first.
If only she had gotten angry at me.
If only she had grabbed my hair and screamed.
That might have been better for me.
That's why I had to push her away.
It was truly heartbreaking, but I wanted her to stop worrying about me.
And so, to firmly push her away, just before I uttered words that might be a little harsh to her—
"............Sniff, sniff, is there a strange smell coming from somewhere...?"
At Lady Ehiton's words, I couldn't respond at all.
Hiding my face, red as a beet, I frantically fled to the dormitory.
"Ah! Luni............!"
In the end, I couldn't push her away.
