1.
Okay, let's summarize what happened before.
I passed out after forcibly using Teleport in a barrier that blocked movement magic.
I was attacking the boss monster known as the Guardian of the Sacred Tree, and wouldn't you know it—that guy appeared right in front of me.
⚔ GREAT SAGE - ELENA ⚔ "Stop! You must not destroy the Sacred Tree!"
That's why I forcibly used Teleport.
If I'd kept up the attack, I would've killed the Great Sage, but to prevent that disaster, I pushed myself too hard with the Teleport and ended up losing consciousness.
And so, when I came to after blacking out, I was lying in a bed.
After that, I opened the door to check where I was and stepped outside—
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Ah."
The floor was soaked through.
The girl, writhing and gasping for breath, froze solid the moment she saw me open the door.
She had her hand inside her half-undressed clothes, pleasuring herself—it was only natural she'd react like that.
She still looked so young and innocent, so maybe that's just how it was.
Hmm, no, that's pushing it.
Besides, she might look like a girl on the outside, but she's actually older than me.
Though from what I've seen, their mental age seems stuck at kid level anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter...
Even so, what kind of lunatic does that right outside someone's door...
Haa, this is driving me crazy.
"...Have your fun. I'm heading out."
"W-Wrong! Wait a second! There's a reason for this—"
"Don't touch me with those filthy hands!"
Honestly, at this point, reality was hitting hard.
Whether it was the one grabbing me with those sticky hands or the one groping a sleeping person—how did these twins both turn out to be such perverts...
Or is this just a High Elf racial trait?
I was starting to regret disguising myself as a High Elf.
They were supposed to be a wise race pursuing the truths of magic, but from my experiences, they were just half-mad, rotten fruits.
Might as well just pretend to be a demon from now on.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ 2.
A few minutes later.
《 ~Neutral Stage~ Tower of the Great Sage 》 They'd moved the conversation back to the room where Cyan had woken up.
Cyan sat facing Great Sage Elena.
Elena had explained everything that happened while Cyan was unconscious, and after listening quietly, Cyan did a light stretch before speaking.
"...So, you brought me here after I passed out."
"Yes. It was my fault you pushed yourself that far, so it was only right."
This place was one of the countless rooms in the tower.
Elena herself had carried Cyan there, and she added that the spirits in Twilight Forest wouldn't attack anymore.
That was a relief to hear.
The monsters in Twilight Forest were more dangerous than those in the demon realm, after all.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter either way."
Cyan glanced at Elena.
The High Elf girl before her eyes.
She was Elena, the older of the twin Great Sages.
As twins, she resembled her younger sister Alena a lot, but unlike her sister, she had long hair reaching down to her waist.
Her refined, beautiful appearance even evoked the image of a model student.
That was how you could tell the sisters apart.
But the biggest difference was that, unlike Alena, this was Elena's true form.
Alena's true form looked about the same age as Cyan on the outside, but her older sister was as slender and delicate as Louise.
"What bothers me is whether you really didn't do anything to my body."
"Ah, I didn't do anything! I just changed your clothes with magic. What do you take me for..."
A girl who was moaning and pleasuring herself right outside the door of a sleeping person...
But Cyan decided not to say it out loud.
No point in stating the facts and dealing with her grabbing sleeves and denying it all over again—it'd just be a hassle.
Cyan simply narrowed her eyes in response.
"Then let me ask one thing: what was that giant?"
And she asked about what was bothering her.
The massive wooden giant that had blocked her path.
About the powerful boss monster called the Guardian of the Sacred Tree, one she'd never seen in Novel Online.
It didn't seem to have any special attack patterns, but its raw specs were comparable to Fallen Transcendent Delatros.
Encountering a boss like that for the first time was something she had to clarify.
Especially since running into unknown bosses like that would be a problem.
"That was the Sacred Tree itself. This space is located within a rift in the world connected through the Sacred Tree. The giant is the Sacred Tree's will, punishing those who disrupt that place."
"What did I disrupt?"
"...I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like it was because you used a technique from the Divine Warrior of the Grendel Mountains. She shouldn't be able to enter here normally."
She added that the guardian appears whenever someone takes an abnormal route toward the magic tower.
So it shouldn't have appeared originally, but Cyan's use of the Heavenly Demon's technique to reach the tower had triggered it.
In other words, it recognized her as the Divine Warrior of Grendel Mountains intruding via the Sacred Tree, someone who couldn't enter normally.
'...Come to think of it, there was that.'
Hearing the explanation jogged Cyan's memory of something she'd forgotten.
It was the anti-cheat system.
In Novel Online, if abnormal patterns were detected, boss monsters would unleash hidden attack patterns, or entirely new bosses would spawn.
The Guardian of the Sacred Tree might be part of that.
That could explain why Cyan had never seen it before—it probably didn't appear for players who played legitimately.
...Though that system sometimes snagged innocent players too.
"Anyway, thank you for what happened earlier. I couldn't see the future in this space, so I was honestly scared not knowing what would happen."
Having finished her explanation, Elena thanked Cyan.
No matter the reason, Cyan had taken damage to protect her, averting the worst possible outcome for this world's future.
"If you're the older sister, couldn't you see the future? Didn't you foresee me using Teleport?"
"Time doesn't exist in this space. There's no past or future here. Just an endless present. So I can't know this place's future."
"...I see."
-Rustle
'She didn't know from the start, then.'
'Great Sage Elena.'
Watching Elena sincerely thank her, Cyan thought she seemed decent enough, unlike her sister.
'At least her core isn't rotten.'
Truth be told, she'd had reason to worry.
In Novel Online, these Great Sages were portrayed as total psychos.
Of course, that mostly referred to the younger sister, Alena.
She'd give brutal quests to players seeking her magic, and even summon max-level monsters under the guise of "testing" them.
Elena had little interaction with players, so Cyan knew next to nothing about the older sister.
Just a few lines of dialogue welcoming players to the Sage's Tower.
So her worry was justified.
"Ah, would you like some tea? I have something good for relieving fatigue."
"Sure."
But it seemed her worry was unfounded.
From her words and actions, she was the complete opposite of her sister.
'Passing out from overusing mental strength isn't so bad after all. Slept like a baby.'
Thanks to that, she even woke up refreshed.
...But this was still nagging at her.
-Crackle!
"It'll boil soon... Eek?! U-Ugh, again...?!"
Elena suddenly staggered as she went to prepare the tea.
If Cyan hadn't caught her, she would've fallen flat.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, it's nothing! I'll be right back—Ugh! Urgh! Pleaase, stop...! Ugh!"
Then, Elena started pleading into thin air.
But her pleas went unanswered, and the strange phenomenon continued.
"...Huh?"
"No! Don't, don't look... Hngh!"
As far as Cyan could see, she'd simply stood up from her seat without doing anything.
So why was she acting like that?
Come to think of it, this was similar to what happened outside the door earlier—she'd made those noises then too.
'No way.'
In other words, this was happening against her own will.
"... "
"Pl-Please don't loo-look at me! This isn't me on purpo—Hya?! Ah, ahh, urgh?! Nooo...!"
And just like that, Elena's freshly changed clothes were soaked through.
Cyan had no desire to know what with.
-Thud!
Elena tried to stand and leave, not wanting Cyan to see her like this, but her legs gave out every time, forcing her to collapse repeatedly.
...Honestly, it was getting pitiful.
"Haa, we'll have tea later."
"Hnght! Nooo, pleaase...!"
"I get the gist. Whatever that is... you've got it rough too. I'll fix it quick, so wait here."
"P-Pleeease...! Ugh! Yes...!"
-Creak!
'When I get back, I should dye my hair blonde or something. Done pretending to be a High Elf.'
With no choice, Cyan sighed and headed outside.
First things first, she had to deal with that.
She couldn't have a proper conversation with Elena like this, and Cyan still had questions that needed answers, so the 'cause' of this phenomenon had to be handled first.
And that cause was...
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ -Creak!
A room emanating familiar mana.
As Cyan walked through the tower, she opened the door and entered.
The bedroom glowed with a reddish light.
And there, a High Elf in nothing but her underwear awaited Cyan as if expecting her.
Her identity was—
"...You came. I knew you would."
"If I hadn't, you'd have kept that up forever."
"Sorry about Elena, sis. But it means you really caught my fancy. High Elf or... no."
⚔ GREAT SAGE - ALENA ⚔ "Demon sis."
Alena said with a bewitching smile.
-Step step
Cyan approached Alena with an expressionless face and—
"Oh? Coming close yourself? Don't tell me you actually want—Mmff?!"
-Smack!
Sealed her lips with her own.
Incredibly, Cyan had suddenly kissed her.
-Smooch.
She embraced Alena with her arms to keep her from moving and slipped her tongue in.
"Mm? Hnngh?!"
And slowly, meticulously, their tongues entwined, exchanging saliva for 10 seconds, 20 seconds...
Startled, Alena tried to push Cyan away, but they were already pressed so close their breaths mingled.
In the end, she couldn't pull away, and now her breathing grew ragged from lack of air.
"Ugh, mmph..."
Her body trembled, eyes rolling back.
Pinned down by Cyan on the bed, Alena began soaking the sheets bit by bit.
Her scant underwear, barely covering her intimate areas, grew wet, revealing the pale pink skin beneath.
Cyan's saliva was already sliding down Alena's throat.
-Slurp...
"...Haa?!"
How long did it last?
"Ha, haa! Ugh, ah..."
As Alena gasped in distress from suffocation, Cyan slowly parted their lips.
In that short time, Alena's body was drenched, and having been unable to breathe, she panted heavily.
The sultry aura she'd exuded moments ago was utterly shattered, nowhere to be found.
She just lay there, back arched, body quivering nonstop.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Wh-What the hell...?"
A moment later, Alena barely managed to prop herself up and asked Cyan.
The sweet taste still lingered in her mouth.
This wasn't an illusion or a clone—it was real.
That aloof demon had truly given her a deep, intense kiss.
Her body tingled from the ecstasy.
She couldn't believe it.
That High Elf—no, demon—had initiated it...
She'd prepared all sorts of magic traps and hypnosis in case she resisted, but now there was no need.
-Crackle!
So Alena dispelled them all.
Maintaining hundreds of spells was a burden, even for a High Elf with vast mana.
Recovery took time, which was why she'd sought targets to absorb mana from.
And Cyan was one of them.
"Ah, aah...! My body's tingling... What is it? You actually wanted me—"
"Tingling? Good."
"Huh?"
...But something felt off with her body.
"Uh..."
It really was tingling.
Not figuratively—her body was literally paralyzed, unable to move.
"...Demon fluids are potent poison. Didn't you know?"
"Ah?"
"You won't die like a human since you're a High Elf, but you'll be paralyzed and immobile for half a day."
Only then did Alena realize what Cyan had done.
The reason she'd deliberately kissed her and shared saliva.
It was to paralyze her body and render her helpless.
Alena knew demon fluids were poisonous, but she'd overlooked it because Cyan looked like a High Elf.
Even though it was a poison she could normally detox easily, it had spread too far now for her to do so.
In the end, she couldn't even cast simple spells.
Which meant—
"Now, do you remember your last words to me?"
"Ahh? Oh, that, uh... Please spare me..."
"Request denied."
...She was screwed.
-Thwack!
