The Silver Knight and the Reverse Bunny
Ramnusia hears from Helene that Clapouti has gone missing...
Having finished a delightful shopping spree, I stepped out of the Pandemonium Boutique in high spirits. By the way, since I had thoroughly taken care of Laura—who had masturbated so intensely she practically drenched herself—she was currently following behind me, wearing a uniform still damp with her own sweet juices.
"Laura, listen closely—" Stepping out of the shop in such a jovial mood was fine and all, but the problem was that I was looking backward instead of watching where I was going. Squish! "Mmph?!"
An unimaginably sweet, warm fragrance washed over me. At the same time, a massive, heavy mound of flesh pressed erotically against my cheek and mouth. "Oh my!" What I had collided with was none other than Helene's breasts.
Thanks to those breasts, which jiggled as soft and voluptuously as pudding, I didn't feel any pain. However, given the impact of our bodies colliding, it was only natural that I lost my balance. In this absurd situation, Helene, true to her imperial lineage, firmly grabbed my rear to keep me from falling flat on my butt.
"H-H-Helene...!"
"Are you alright, Ramnusia? I was lost in thought and nearly hurt you."
"N-N-No, not at all! Helene! R-Really! It's absolutely fine! I was distracted too!"
Helene's soft, pillowy breasts felt absolutely heavenly. The warm, seductive scent of her skin felt like an open invitation. Moreover, the sheer size of her chest was so massive that comparing her to any other woman I'd seen felt like an insult; the warmth radiating from them was on a completely different level. I had never buried my face so deeply into a woman's cleavage before, but...! The sense of security offered by her sheer abundance was enough to make me declare Helene's breasts the absolute best in the world.
"I-I was just t-talking to Laura."
I quickly parted ways with Helene's breasts. In my heart, I wanted to indulge in them until the end of the world, but I had no choice. Even between girls, nuzzling your face deep into someone's cleavage for too long was bound to leave a bad impression.
"H-Hello, Princess Helene. Um..." Laura stammered.
"Thank you, Laura. It seems your reconciliation with Ramnusia in front of me the other day wasn't just an act."
"O-Of course! It was a request from none other than Princess Helene herself, after all. Besides, I've come to think that Ramnusia has been treated rather unfairly."
Laura spoke with a smile, despite her skirt and the area near her chest being thoroughly drenched in her own clear arousal fluids. Of course, unlike semen, it just looked like she had spilled water on her uniform.
"Your support will always be a great source of strength for Ramnusia. Please continue to look after her."
"I-It is an honor, Your Highness..."
Trembling slightly, Laura pinched the hem of her skirt and curtsied. Helene watched her with a warm, gentle smile before turning her gaze back to me.
"Ramnusia, if you have a moment, may I ask you a question?"
"O-Of course, Helene. I-Is something wrong?"
"Have you seen Clapouti?"
That was a sudden, incredibly direct question. Why on earth was she asking me this? Was this some kind of final warning? Did she already know I kidnapped Clapouti, and was now giving me a subtle hint to confess the truth right here and now?
"C-Cla... C-Cl..."
"Did something happen to Senior Clapouti?"
"I cannot say for certain, but she has not attended classes for two days now. I haven't seen her face either."
"Oh dear, now that you mention it, she wasn't in magic class today, was she? That's so unlike her." Laura tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I assumed she was away on business for the Magic Tower."
"If she had to leave for such matters, she certainly would have told me."
My heart began to pound like crazy. What? What is this? What's going on? Am I being interrogated? Is Helene giving me a silent warning to stop playing around and hand Clapouti over?!
"Your Highness, no one in the shopping district recalls seeing Lady Clapouti either."
A maid materialized from behind Helene, bowing gracefully as she spoke. Well, even Laura and I had maids accompanying us, so of course an Imperial Princess would have her own retinue.
"Has truly no one seen her?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Even her close friends have heard nothing from her."
"It is as if she vanished into thin air..."
Ugh! What is this?! Does she know, or doesn't she?! Is she testing me? Or is she genuinely clueless and actually seeking help from someone as lowly as Ramnusia Yuno? I can't read the situation at all!
"D-D-Do people... s-sometimes... j-just disappear like this?"
"It's not entirely unheard of for a student to go missing occasionally." Fortunately, Laura smoothed over my awkward phrasing. "After all, the students here come from all corners of the Empire. It's not uncommon for someone to leave abruptly due to urgent family matters, major kingdom events, or territorial disputes."
"True... And though I know this may sound terribly biased..." Helene swallowed hard. "There are also cases where students are kidnapped or made to disappear by the violent demons."
"K-K-K-Kidnapped?!"
"Yes. We cannot rule out the possibility. It is rather dangerous for a princess to admit such things openly, but that is the reality of the matter."
Helene pressed her temples, sinking into deep thought. What should I do? Now that I think about it, why didn't I consider this angle?! I'm an idiot! A total fool!
"B-But, Helene..."
"...Did something come to mind? Speak freely."
"I-I don't think... what H-Helene said earlier is completely absurd."
Helene blinked, her fingers tracing the Red Chains bound around her wrists. "What makes you say that?"
"W-Well, last time... L-Laura and I... we were targeted by demon magic, weren't we?"
"Ah... that's right. Back then... they drew that incredibly tasteless magic circle on the classroom floor, causing everyone to pass out, didn't they?" Laura twirled a lock of her hair around her finger.
"Indeed, that was certainly the work of demons... Come to think of it, Instructor Britannia also tipped me off about a cave where he sensed demonic energy..."
Helene tapped her arm, lost in agonizing contemplation. I had only thrown out a random excuse, but as someone bound by her "duty," Helene couldn't just brush it off. Please! Let Helene misunderstand and think this entire incident is the work of some non-existent demons!
"Helene. What's going on?"
In this heart-pounding moment, a voice I had never heard before rang out. A knight approached, walking with steady, confident strides, seemingly leading a group of people in the distance.
Huh...?
The knight had short, silver hair that neatly tucked behind her ears. Her sharp, defined eyes gave off the strong impression of a beautifully handsome young man. But how should I put it... was this person really a knight? Instead of the sturdy, muscular build one would expect of a knightly young master, there was a strangely delicate, elegant grace to them. And wait, weren't they actually a bit shorter than me?
"I have been searching for Clapouti."
"No luck on my end either."
"According to Ramnusia... Oh, Eir. Let me introduce you. This is Ramnusia Yuno, whom I mentioned before."
Helene suddenly introduced the dazzling, silver-haired knight. Wait, but isn't that a guy? I have absolutely no interest in getting close to men. And wait, does Helene have a boyfriend?!
"U-Uh..."
"Nice to meet you."
Since I couldn't reject the outstretched hand, I shook it. The grip was surprisingly firm, making my head spin a little.
"At any rate, Ramnusia brought up a good point... It is highly likely that Clapouti's disappearance is linked to the demons."
"Demons? Again?"
"I know they are always harboring resentment, but if Clapouti has indeed been abducted, we cannot let this slide."
"What about seeking help from the Holy Order?"
"No. That would blow things out of proportion. If it turns out she wasn't kidnapped by demons, Clapouti would be placed in a very difficult position."
Eir and Helene conversed with natural ease. Ah, so Eir is Helene's friend too? Right, now that I think about it, wasn't there someone referred to as the 'Prince'? Ugh! I can't believe this is happening! If he's a guy, he's definitely targeting Helene just like me. And what's with that delicate, strangely pretty face?! His hair isn't even just silver—the underlayer is purple, giving him this mysterious, cool vibe!
"Ramnusia, I must take my leave now. I should search the Academy grounds with Eir."
"Ah, oh! Y-Yes! I understand. G-Good luck, Helene!"
In my heart, I wanted to barge right between Eir and Helene, but I had no excuse. To anyone else, I was just a girl who had been enjoying a shopping trip with Laura ten minutes ago.
"Ugh... Helene has a man..."
"Oh? Really? Do you know something?"
"...Why are you asking when you saw him yourself, Laura?"
"Saw who?"
Our conversation was completely missing each other.
"...Eir. Eir Galagon, I mean."
"Senior Eir is a girl. What are you talking about, Ramnusia? Did you get heatstroke?"
Huh?
"S-Senior Eir is a w-woman? But... wait, what?"
Hearing that, things suddenly clicked. Yes, her voice was a bit husky, but it definitely sounded feminine. Her body wasn't that of a sturdy male knight; she was just slender, with soft curves in the right places and lean, toned muscles. Now that I thought about it, there was a subtle swell to her chest and hips. Why did I immediately assume she was a guy?
"A w-woman... Hehe... Ehehehe..."
"Honestly... did you get fooled by the idiots who run around calling Senior Eir 'Prince' all the time?" Laura fanned herself as she spoke. "It's true that Senior Eir is an outstanding knight who can easily hold her own against any man, but she's a normal woman, so don't say such things."
"T-Then why is she called the P-Prince?"
"Who knows? She seems to enjoy the attention, though." Laura shrugged, looking at me. "She never rejects the gifts showered on her by the noble girls, and she gets along fine with the young lords, but anyone can see she prefers the company of ladies. As for what her true intentions are, how should I know?"
Eir Galagon. I hope the day comes when I can get to know her much, much better.
"R-Ramnusia..."
Just as I expected, when I returned from my pleasant outing at the Academy, Clapouti greeted me with an utterly exhausted face.
"I rang the bell so hard..."
"Well, it couldn't be helped, could it? I have to maintain my normal Academy life, after all."
Clapouti hung her blue hair low, her body trembling slightly. She clutched her lower abdomen tightly with both hands. It made sense; she hadn't been to the restroom and had missed two meals, so her body must be at its limit. Perfect. This was exactly the situation I had been aiming for.
"Now then, since our dear Senior Clapouti seems to be in quite a rush, shall we get straight to the Praise Points?"
"A-Anything is fine, wayo! Hurry! Hurry! Do not drag this out and state your business immediately, wayo!"
Savoring the sweet delight of Clapouti's desperate expression, I proudly showed off the outfit I had brought. Naturally, it was a Reverse Bunny suit. I had even made sure to bring the stickers meant to cover her breasts and pubic area.
"Please put this on, Senior."
"W-Wear... You are telling me to wear such a vulgar outfit, wayo?!"
"Yes. If you wear it properly, I'll give you 1 point. My goodness! You don't even have to do anything embarrassing; you get a whole point just for putting on clothes. Isn't that an incredible deal?"
Clapouti's face contorted in exquisite despair, exactly as I had hoped.
