A Public Lesson in Obedience
I fully intended to punish Laura for her spectacular defeat in her lesbian sex match against Clapouti. To be honest, there was absolutely no need to maintain a strict system of rewards and punishments for Laura, but why on earth would I give up on something so simple and entertaining? Besides, Laura was a young lady who was incredibly fun to tease. This was a golden opportunity to enjoy the bliss of watching her reputation plummet in real-time while testing a new spell I had learned from Keres.
"Now, Laura. Do not touch this under any circumstances, and enjoy your tea party like a good girl."
Right in front of me was Laura's pussy. To be more precise, I had slipped into the same restroom stall with her. As soon as we were inside, I ordered her to lift her skirt and pull down her panties, then neatly attached a sex toy I'd obtained from Keres right onto her clitoris. What was the name of this toy again? Anyway, they said that with just a tiny infusion of mana, this little egg-shaped stone would deliver various patterns of vibration to the clitoris. It almost made me laugh to think that noble ladies had access to such luxurious pleasure devices.
"Where on earth did you obtain such an item? And why should I not touch it? In the first place, why must I expose my most precious area in front of you..."
"I have a wish... Didn't you promise to do what I asked, Laura? You won't touch it under any circumstances, even while enjoying tea with the other ladies, right?"
"Ugh, m-mm... I... I understand."
Laura knitted her pretty pink eyebrows, yet she couldn't bring herself to say no to me. Instead, she tore off some toilet paper, habitually dabbed and wiped her private parts two or three times, pulled up her panties, and stood up from the toilet.
"Go on ahead. Ehehehe."
"...I was going to leave even without you laughing like that. Honestly! How vulgar!"
Grumbling, Laura walked straight to the sink. Even though she hadn't actually used the restroom, she thoroughly lathered her hands with soap before washing them and storming out. In any case, today wasn't just about simple torment. If my only goal had been to bully her, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to visit this upscale cafe in the Academy's shopping district. Today was for gathering information and testing the magic I had learned from Keres. After all, while I could keep an eye on Laura, I couldn't monitor Clapouti constantly.
"Now then..."
After quickly washing my hands, I stepped out of the restroom to find Laura and the other noble girls sitting at the best table in the cafe, just as expected. Among them was a familiar face—Luna Vindobona, whom I had played with alongside Aria as a set menu last time.
Sigh...
I leisurely slid into a seat quite a distance away from Laura's table. Of course, a slice of cake with a wonderfully fresh lemon aroma sat before me, but that wasn't my objective today.
"Speaking of which, Laura~ I heard something from the other girls. Is it true you were completely naked at the Pandemonium Boutique? With Ramnusia!"
"Oh! That's right, that's right! Everyone knows that rumor."
The voices Laura was hearing came clearly through to my own ears. The principle was simple: the earrings I had gifted her were engraved with runes that shared her hearing and vision. If Laura's words were to be believed, jewelry engraved with such runes was an absurdly rare and priceless treasure, but since Keres was the one who procured them, it didn't matter. Once a tool is in your hands, you might as well make full use of it!
"Ah... that day was just quite unlucky. The boutique's changing room was out of order, so I had no choice if I wanted to try on the clothes."
"Really~? Still, I would absolutely hate to be naked in front of Ramnusia. Don't you all agree~?"
"Ramnusia is a bit of a pervert, after all..."
"...Exactly. She makes it so obvious that she's sexually into girls, it's disgusting!"
As they launched into a grand session of badmouthing me, Laura remained silent, merely sipping her black tea. Honestly, I wasn't disappointed or hurt that she didn't defend me. Expecting something like that from Laura in the first place would be foolish.
Now, if I just lightly activate the magic tool from here...
I slightly raised the index finger of my right hand, which was clad in the Rune Glove.
Bzzzzzz—
"Hup...!"
The moment Laura felt the vibration hitting her clitoris, she squeezed her thighs tightly together and whipped her head around to look at me. But our gazes didn't even meet. Because of the immense distance between us, I simply picked up my fork, pretending to know absolutely nothing.
"Ah, ugh..."
"...Laura? Is something the matter?"
"O-oh, no. It's nothing at all. Hoho, I was just... embarrassed that a lady of my standing was seen naked in a boutique."
"Exactly~ A daughter of the Arnold family shouldn't be naked in a place where anyone could see, right?"
Laura let out an incredibly awkward laugh, but she looked immensely anxious. The gentle, steady vibration buzzing against her clitoris was undoubtedly making her head spin. Though I hadn't tested it on Clapouti, anyone else, or even myself yet, I had known the moment I tested it in the palm of my hand: this was an absolutely perfect toy for playing with noble girls.
"...Mnh, n-ngh, haah..."
Since Laura absolutely could not touch the toy attached to her clitoris, she slightly parted her tightly squeezed thighs. She wasn't quite as sharp as Clapouti, but a noble lady was still a noble lady. She had quickly realized that keeping her thighs pressed together only pushed her pussy lips tighter against the device, intensifying the pleasure. But a pretty young lady enjoying a tea party while masturbating with her legs slightly parted? If anyone found out, they would scream that she was a total pervert!
"Honestly, Laura, you must have a strong stomach. How can you hang around that pervert so much?"
"H-haah... Those in high positions... have duties... they must uphold."
"Pfft... and does that include taking care of a lowlife like Ramnusia?"
"Ah~! Honestly! Stop teasing me so much! It can't be helped that Lady Ramnusia is a pitiful, miserable piece of trash!"
Amidst the chatter of the noble girls, Laura was desperately holding back her pitiful groans. What would happen if I turned it up a notch?
Bzzzz, bzzzzzz!
"Hup..."
Laura squeezed her thighs together again, only to hastily part them once more.
"Laura?"
"O-oh, it's nothing. Ha, hah... The lemon was... haah, much sourer than I expected, so it startled me."
"Really? Your leg suddenly brushed against my thigh, so it startled me too."
Laughing incredibly awkwardly, Laura gestured with her finger to summon a server, putting on an act of ordering a sweet drink.
"Haa... haah..."
The once-subtle stimulation was now rattling her clitoris so intensely it felt as if the skin was being peeled back, making it incredibly difficult to endure.
"Ah, that's right, that's right. Laura, did you hear about that?"
"What... what story is that?"
Pretending nothing was wrong, Laura forced a smile and popped a cookie into her mouth, grinding it between her molars with enough force to make them creak.
"The story that Her Highness the Princess is looking for Senior Clapouti."
"Ah... I, too, heard about that recently. And..."
Laura started to say something, then shut her mouth. Since she was the very person who had deliciously sucked the pussy of the missing Senior Clapouti and rubbed her clit with her own fingers, she must have desperately wanted to say something. However, because I had thoroughly suppressed those memories, there was nothing she could actually speak of. Laura crossed her legs, hastily uncrossed them, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of plain water.
"And?"
"O-oh, nothing. I was just thinking that someone of Senior Clapouti's caliber... haah... must have stepped away due to some urgent business."
"Well, the thing is... it's still just a rumor, but it seems Senior Clapouti didn't go to the Magic Tower, nor did she return to her hometown."
"Ah~! That's right! I heard that too! Even Senior Eir is looking for her. At this rate, didn't she just vanish into thin air like magic?"
"It seems even the instructors haven't heard anything. Instructor Hecate didn't know either."
The girls' gossiping provided me with quite useful information. It seemed the news had spread so far that even girls who weren't close to Clapouti knew about it. I could safely assume the time limit was fast approaching. Of course, I had prepared just as thoroughly, so there wouldn't be any issues.
"I-I see... haah..."
Her pussy must have been itching like crazy, her entrance twitching as she struggled to cope with the overflowing arousal fluids. Unable to bear it, she slid her left hand down to press against her lower abdomen as if scratching it, before bringing her hand back up. Was the buzzing vibration pleasurable? Or was it pure torture? Honestly, watching Laura briefly stand up to readjust her skirt made it glaringly obvious that she was experiencing a mix of intense pleasure and agony.
"Haah, m-mm, everyone... I also... have something I heard."
Laura placed the drink the server handed her in front of herself and began to speak. Seeing her faithfully fulfilling my wish like this was truly adorable.
"Everyone... haah... you are all well aware of the legend of the Oracle, correct?"
"Of course. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know that story?"
Since Laura was being so cute starting the conversation, I turned the vibration up another level as a reward.
Bzzzzzzzz! Bzzzzzzzzzz!
"Hup...!"
Laura clenched her fists tightly, momentarily losing her breath. Although all the girls at the table cast worried glances her way, she forced a smile and continued her story.
"Do you... know about the magic... circle... that person supposedly created in the Academy?"
"Umm... I've heard rumors like that, but is such a thing even possible?"
"If there were a magic circle of that scale, there's no way we wouldn't know. Besides, we don't feel like we're under the influence of any magic circle even at this very moment, do we?"
Bzzzzzzzz, bzzzz! Bzz! Bzz!
"I suppose... haah... ugh..."
Laura instinctively brought her left hand down to her chest, trembling as she tried to hide her prominent, erect nipples.
"I just thought... it would be an... interesting piece of gossip... to share with you all."
With her face completely flushed crimson, Laura clenched her fists so hard it looked painful.
"Laura... aren't you acting a bit strange today?"
Ultimately, Luna Vindobona, who had been watching her closely for a while, stood up and spoke.
"Lu-Luna... don't... don't come close..."
"Do you have a fever? Your face has been red ever since you came back from the restroom."
"That's... ah, hyee..."
The moment Luna approached and placed a hand on her forehead, Laura flinched, her body shivering violently. Since it was about time for her grand finale, I turned the vibration all the way up to the maximum.
VREEEEEEE! VREEE-BZZZZ! BZZZ!
"And... has anyone else... been hearing a buzzing sound for a while now?"
"Ah, yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so."
At Luna's words, the girl sitting next to Laura twitched her nose.
"There's also a strangely sweet, musky scent in the air."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Laura let out a pitiful gasp. Under the intense gaze of all the girls at the table, her upper body slumped forward.
"No... more..."
Unable to close her legs, which she had intentionally kept slightly parted, Laura squeezed her eyes shut and exhaled hot breaths from both her mouth and nose. Under the relentless, murderous stimulation of her clitoris, the young lady who once boasted of her nobility was finally forced into a helpless orgasm.
Squirrrrt!
Even through her skirt and panties, she squirted a massive amount of fluid. Clutching the table with both hands, Laura collapsed onto it.
"L-Laura? Laura, what's wrong all of a sudden?"
"Laura?!"
Everyone shook Laura's shoulders in a panic, but the girl herself could do nothing but lie there, her heart pounding wildly as her wet entrance twitched.
"I... I came... I came..."
Because the device continued to stimulate her hyper-sensitive clitoris immediately after her orgasm, Laura let out an agonizingly sweet groan.
"Laura, don't tell me..."
Sensing that Luna Vindobona was about to say something suspicious, I quickly shut off the device's vibration. Laura would have to handle the rest on her own.
"Ngh, hup... haah! It's nothing! My stomach just suddenly...!"
Lifting her upper body, Laura frantically swiped at the drink in front of her, sending it crashing down onto her skirt with a loud splash!
"L-Laura! Laura!"
"Oh my goodness! That uniform is incredibly expensive! Isn't it from the boutique in Hollympia?!"
"Ha, hahaha...! It... it seems today is just not my lucky day."
Laura laughed frantically to cover up her lie, locking eyes with Luna Vindobona.
"...Are your menstrual cramps that severe?"
"Ha, hahaha... I wish it were just that. I suddenly felt a terrible twist in my stomach."
With an incredibly awkward smile, Laura stood up along with the other girls who were rising to help her. Judging by their noisy chatter, they seemed to be planning to accompany Laura—who now looked as if she had wet herself—to the restroom.
"Well, I'll leave Laura alone for now... and go play with Senior Clapouti."
I turned Laura's vibration back up to level one. It would be fun to see if she could even function normally tomorrow.
"I wonder how long our dear Senior will last compared to Laura..."
I'll have to beg Keres to buy me about four more of these, not just one.
