A Quick and Easy Path to Crime
"There's no way I would make a mistake like this...!" Screaming in her mind, Laura hurriedly strode into her dormitory room. Unable to move her arms freely, she desperately clutched the hem of her skirt with her right hand, pulling it down. To anyone watching, she looked beyond suspicious—she looked utterly pitiful.
"Lady Laura? What is..."
"Get out! Right now! Get out! Hurry!"
Wearing a black maid outfit with a snow-white apron, Laura's maid stared at her with startled eyes.
"My lady—"
"I said get out!! Now!!"
As Laura shrieked as if having a fit, the maid hurriedly grabbed her cleaning tools and rushed out of the room. The moment she left, Laura hysterically locked the door behind her and tightly clutched her lower abdomen with both hands.
"This can't be happening. Something is wrong..."
Mumbling like she was reciting a spell, Laura rushed to her wardrobe and pulled out a pair of panties. Knowing full well she was wearing a black bra, she unconsciously pulled out another pair of black panties.
"Ah..."
Laura froze just as she was about to pull them up. Her pussy was still burning hot and twitching strangely. Feeling a distinct dampness there, she bit her lip hard and stepped into the bathroom.
"It's weird... This has never happened to me before..."
With eyes full of confusion, Laura tore off some toilet paper, pressed it against her pussy with her palm, and wiped away the traces of her arousal fluids. It wasn't gushing out endlessly, but the mere fact that she had leaked love juice was incredibly foreign, shameful, and baffling to her.
My body has been so strange lately... It's really weird. Why is this happening? Is there any reason for this?
Still deeply confused, Laura pulled up her black panties, smoothed them over her buttocks with both hands, and walked over to the sink to wash her hands.
"Ramnusia... Ramnusia..."
Instinctively, Laura sensed that Ramnusia was somehow the cause of this, but her thoughts couldn't progress any further.
No, that's impossible. Ramnusia is just Ramnusia, after all. There's no way that cockroach is the reason my head is throbbing like this and my body is acting so strange...
To Laura, Ramnusia was nothing more than a cockroach crawling on the ground. There was no way such a pest could cause her this much trouble.
"So annoying..."
Once the throbbing heat down below finally subsided, Laura shook the water off her hands, glanced around warily, and lifted the hem of her skirt.
"...Nothing's wrong with me, right? It was so hot earlier... and I don't even have a fiancé..."
Muttering to herself, Laura wasn't bold enough to actually look at her own pussy in the mirror.
"Heh, hehe... Laura ended up twitching her pussy so lewdly and came."
"Bestowing an orgasm upon a young lady unaccustomed to sexual stimulation is quite a difficult task. You have worked hard, my lady."
Keres offered me a lovely smile as she served me milk and bread for a snack. Good grief, this is a snack? I could easily make a whole meal out of this.
"But it seems she's n-never masturbated before. Even when I ordered her to, she didn't know how."
"That is one of the shortcomings of Command Magic. One cannot command a young master who knows nothing of the craft to perform the work of a blacksmith."
"I thought everyone did it, though."
Keres merely offered a gentle smile. Then again, no matter how capable Keres was, how could she possibly know whether every single noble girl at the Academy masturbated?
"I believe most of them do, in fact, indulge in it."
...Wait, she actually knows?!
"A-anyway... Keres. Toying with Laura was really fun, but it was just a t-tease."
Did Keres immediately understand what I wanted to say? She blinked and looked at me.
"Are you saying you wish to toy with Lady Laura to your heart's content, without any time constraints?"
"Y-yes, exactly... Toying with her during class like last time and today is fun and thrilling enough, but I want to do it a l-little more..."
"Do you wish to take your time exploring Lady Laura's body?"
When I nodded twice, Keres rolled her eyes to the right for a moment.
"There is a very quick and simple method, though it is a blatant criminal act."
"...Isn't what I've been doing so far a c-crime too?"
"Indeed it is, but I believe there is a difference between an act that could be dismissed as the raging lust of an adolescent girl and a premeditated crime."
Does she mean I'll be doing something even more wicked?
"I don't care. I want to do all sorts of even worse things to Laura."
Keres stared at me for a moment. Her black eyes sparkled beautifully, and the corners of her mouth curled up once more.
"If that is the case... first, you must resist the urge to sleep."
The path of crime was strangely simple, yet far more difficult than I had imagined.
Is she insane? I'm asking if she's out of her mind! You're crazy, Keres!
"Ugh, aaaaah, h-h-help, aaaaah..."
What on earth do you mean by "a traditional secret escape for young ladies of the Academy"?! There were actually students who escaped the dormitory this way?! Climbing out of a window and scaling the walls—how is this a reasonable method in any way?!
"I-I'm going to g-get caught. I'll definitely get caught... There's no way I won't. S-scaling a wall in the dead of night..."
The plan Keres gave me was simple. Scale the wall from my room, crawl down three floors to Laura's room while holding onto the window ledges, and slip inside. Then, just open her window and enter. Since Laura had a timid personality, she would lock her door to keep everyone out before sleeping, so there wouldn't be any issues.
"It makes sense, but still! It makes sense, but this is too much!"
This is way scarier than I thought! Every time the wind gusts, my skirt flutters wildly, and there are barely any footholds! I'm going to fall. I'm definitely going to fall.
"O-oh...!"
Thanks to the power of my Rune Glove, I managed to hang on, crawling along the wall like an insect until I finally reached Laura's window.
"It's... it's unlocked. Perfect..."
I fiddled with the window without making a single rattle, and it slid open incredibly easily. Just like my room, there was nothing blocking the space beneath the window, allowing me to slip into Laura's room with ease.
After going through all that bizarre trouble, I found Laura's room to be strangely similar to mine, though the furniture layout was slightly different. I suppose that came down to personal taste. In any case, I could see a laundry basket with a pile of discarded clothes in the corner, and more importantly, the bed where Laura lay fast asleep, completely oblivious to what was about to happen.
"Phew..."
Still, sneaking into some else's room by climbing the walls... this really was a "crime." I finally understood what Keres meant. This was truly a wicked deed. This was an unforgivable act of revenge.
"Ha, hahaha..."
A bizarre laugh escaped my lips, but I felt no guilt. Wondering what kind of revenge I should inflict on Laura, I gleefully pulled back her blanket.
"Mnh..."
Letting out a soft sigh, Laura lay there in her pajamas. It was too dark to see much else, but fortunately, there was a candle on her nightstand. Lighting it was simple enough; even I could manage a basic spell to conjure a tiny flame at my fingertip.
"So you wear black pajamas."
Laura was wearing a loose, comfortable-looking pajama set with a top and pants. Because of that, her voluptuous figure wasn't particularly highlighted. Well, not that it mattered, since I already knew every single embarrassing and lewd part of her body.
"Now then..."
Should I use Command Magic, or Hypnosis Rune Magic? As I pondered this, my fingers paused.
"Mmm... nh..."
Perhaps annoyed by the candlelight, Laura turned her head sharply to the right. Then she fell still again. Since she was fast asleep, she had no idea I was standing over her, looking down.
"Ah... I see..."
Since she's asleep, there's no real need to use Command Magic or Hypnosis Rune Magic, is there? She's sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that I'm breathing in her sweet, intoxicating scent.
"Ah..."
This is going to be fun. The thought bloomed naturally in my mind as I sat down on the edge of Laura's bed. I should probably take off her bra first, right?
"Oh?"
I reached out to touch her chest, only to realize she wasn't wearing a bra. Her soft, squishy breasts pressed directly against my palm. When I squeezed, I could feel them yielding and changing shape beneath my touch. Ah, how should I put this? While bare breasts are obviously the best for grabbing and kneading, feeling them through a thin layer of fabric heightened the sensation of doing something forbidden. To be able to squeeze a noble lady's breasts through her clothes like this was incredibly lucky.
"Mmm, ah... nnh..."
And there was another benefit. Unlike when she was under the Hypnosis Rune Magic, Laura was letting out genuine, incredibly sweet and lewd whimpers. She wasn't crying out loudly, but as I kept fondling her breasts, she let out soft, tickled groans.
"Mmm, ah... it tickles..."
Mumbling in her sleep, Laura suddenly moved her hand and cupped her own breast, squeezing it weakly as if to check on it. But that was all. She didn't move any further. Instead, when I pressed my index finger against her nipple and twirled it clockwise, she merely let out a hot, ragged breath. Was this the result of all the conditioning I had done to her body back in the warehouse? Laura, who had clearly never masturbated before, now had nipples that swelled and hardened instantly. I could even feel the warm heat radiating from her skin.
"Then... I should check here too, of course."
While my left hand continued to twirl and tease her nipple to give her pleasure, my right hand slid down to touch her lower half. If I were to touch Laura's pussy with my bare palm while she was wide awake, how would she react? She'd probably scream and call me insane, right? But things were different now. Fast asleep, Laura showed no resistance. Even when I placed my palm over her mound and stroked it firmly, she remained still.
"Heh, hehehe... This really is a crime. A real crime..."
I couldn't help but let out a creepy laugh as I pressed my palm closer against her pussy. The soft, plump mound of her petals felt incredibly erotic. There was even a strange warmth and dampness seeping through. Had her pussy gotten wet just from me playing with her breasts? Wanting to confirm it and see her in such a state, I gently moved my index and middle fingers, finding where her clitoris should be and rubbing it firmly.
"Ah, mmm... nnh..."
After rubbing her clit a few times, Laura's hand twitched. It naturally drifted down to her lower abdomen, and right before my eyes, she slid her hand inside her pajama pants.
"Wow..."
Even a noble lady does such embarrassing things? Laura slipped her hand inside her pants and scratched her pussy mound, which was itching with arousal. After pressing and rubbing it with her palm, she pulled her hand out and rolled over onto her side.
"Mmm, ah... mnh..."
Her ragged breathing sounded incredibly lewd, but the way her buttocks were thrust toward me was even more tantalizing. Ah, so this is the thrill of getting a real reaction from someone.
"Laura... so good... Heh, hehehehe."
Grabbing Laura's hips, I rolled her back onto her face-up position. Then, I placed my right hand on her slightly rounded lower belly. Watching her expression closely, I slowly slid my hand inside her panties.
"As expected, you're wet, Laura... Heh, hehehe... What a pervert..."
The strange dampness at my fingertips already brought a smile to my face. How would Laura react if I toyed with her until she reached an orgasm in her sleep? Just thinking about it made my own lower abdomen burn dangerously hot.
