The Insistent Elf Teacher [Illien Xacrue] (2)
"There are no students who leave once they enroll, and plenty who are dying to get in. With no vacancies at all, the news of a transfer student joining created quite a stir of curiosity among the teachers about what kind of child it would be. There was some worry that you might resemble Lady Loren, but it's a relief to see you have such a gentle, innocent image~."
Loren. She seemed to be referring to Loren de Pawen. Marei had never seen her face, but he recalled that she was Labella's grandmother.
Illien tugged at the corners of her own eyes, mimicking Loren. Given her round features, the expression looked less sharp and more adorable.
"Were you living in Beltere before? Or did you move here?"
"I moved here."
"Hmm~. When I first arrived in Beltere, I was shocked by how many buildings and people there were. Was it the same for you, Pawen? On the other hand, there are so many delicious foods that it was a wonderful surprise. I was upset I couldn't go to the capital, but after living here about a month, those complaints vanished."
"Yes…."
Illien propped up her enormous breasts with one hand while resting her chin on the other, gazing at Marei. A sweet, fruity fragrance wafted from her slightly swaying hair. If he licked her face, it seemed it would taste exactly as sweet as that scent.
Marei shifted uncomfortably in his seat several times.
"Ah, have I been talking too much about myself? Sorry, sorry. People often tell me I'm completely oblivious. Then shall we hear about you, Pawen? You mentioned you haven't decided on a career path yet? What about the military officer route? Teacher Julia could help you quite a bit."
At Illien's words, Marei nodded vaguely. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her protruding nipples, emphasized by the way she held her chest.
"For the Pawen family, the bureaucratic path seems likely? Or, seeing Lady Loren, going to university and becoming an educator might suit you too. This is tricky…."
Illien crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair as if genuinely troubled. Even pressed down like pudding, her clothes were being strained just like Marei's pants during his moments of arousal.
If he slid something between Labella or Erden's cleavage, the tip would still peek out, but Illien's breasts seemed like they would swallow his entire penis without revealing any of it.
"Let's think about that gradually. Let's see, the time… there's still quite a bit left? Teacher Julia has consecutive classes until the end of the day… and introducing you to the students during dismissal might feel awkward. Shall we grab something to eat and chat more?"
His penis, crushed inside his pants, had grown painfully hard. Since he couldn't easily stand, Marei readily nodded at the elf teacher's suggestion.
"I heard people from the Pawen family are human but distinguished by their green hair. Your hair is black, Marei?"
"It must have been from a branch family. Lady Labella… no… my aunt told me."
He had only lived alone with his mother when he was very small. After she passed away, Marei had been passed between his father's relatives. The word "family" felt strangely foreign to him. He knew absolutely nothing about the Pawen family that everyone else seemed familiar with.
Illien nodded vigorously, her massive breasts jiggling in time with the motion. She still didn't seem to realize she wasn't wearing a bra. But she was aware that Marei's gaze kept drifting to her chest, and his hesitant movements filled her with a touch of embarrassment.
Maybe it's because he's still young…. While dating Teacher Julia… with me….
Still, Illien didn't show it outwardly. Living in a human city, she encountered such things so frequently that she had come to accept them as ordinary human physiological reactions. That didn't mean she felt no shame at all.
"By the way, what exactly is your relationship with Teacher Julia, Pawen?"
Even though she had sprayed on heavy perfume, it couldn't deceive an elf's keen senses. A beastkin might have found the scent so overpowering their nose would go numb and fail to distinguish anything, but from Marei she caught the fragrance Julia often wore, and the night-blooming flower scent mixed beneath it solidified her suspicions.
"Huh?? That… what do you…."
Marei feigned ignorance. Who would understand if he admitted that within a single day of meeting, he had entered a sexual relationship with his homeroom teacher? He already knew it was ethically problematic. Though compared to having taken his stepmother and a saintess, it didn't seem like such a grave issue.
"Elves have excellent senses. Not that they're superior to beastkin or anything…. But I can smell Teacher Julia on you, Pawen."
"…..What do you mean…."
"Well… and I can smell semen as well…… If you were trying to cover it with perfume, you should have alternated between several scents. Using one so thickly makes the other smell subtly noticeable. So what is your relationship with Teacher Julia?"
Illien's eyes began to sparkle. It was not the face of someone interrogating him, but of a girl utterly fascinated by a love story.
Faced with her expression brimming with curiosity, Marei couldn't bring himself to speak rashly. Seeing his cautious demeanor, strong conviction filled Illien's eyes.
"Since I'm not human, I don't see any problem with such things. Tell me~ Hmm~? Are you lovers after all? Or is it a marriage arrangement between your families?"
"….Um…. I guess you could call it dating…. That is…."
Illien puffed out her cheeks and gave a light nod. She thought it would be fun to bring him to tonight's drinking party and tease him about it. Imagining him trying to act nonchalant despite his embarrassment, hands trembling as he held his glass, a small laugh escaped her.
As expected, someone as rigid as Teacher Julia must be drawn to heart-pounding romance. But if she's already doing such things with a boy this young… how long have they known each other?
It was simply astonishing that she, known within the school as an impregnable fortress of strictness, had gone all the way before marriage. Or rather, if it was Julia, once she gave her heart, offering her body might actually be surprisingly easy.
"Ehe~ Then how long have you known each other? A year? Two years? Hmm…. Since it's the Pawen family, perhaps since you were children??"
Judging by Marei's height, Illien estimated the time, then reconsidered the growth rate of human children and cautiously revised her theory away from a family arrangement.
With nothing to say, Marei simply went along with the mood and nodded. Illien clapped her hands in delight.
"Do you go on dates often then? What do you two usually do when eating together? Given Teacher Julia's personality, I bet it's bookstores or chess, right?"
"Just… average…."
"Eh…. You're going to respond that boringly?"
Illien was now treating Marei like a close friend. She interlaced her fingers, clasped the back of her neck, leaned back in her chair, and stretched lightly. The way her enormous breasts jiggled a moment later made Marei quickly avert his eyes.
"I'm friends with Teacher Julia…. and lovers. So in private, you can treat me like a friend too, Pawen. Hmm…. This must feel awkward, right? You didn't seem to know anything about me. Julia must not have said much~? Well, I expected she wouldn't bring up personal matters in private. Even though my prediction was exactly right, it's still a little bittersweet."
Illien stared vacantly into space, leaning against her chair as if lost in thought. Then she sighed and straightened her posture. Her gaze moved to the clock hanging above the door, and she let out a small groan.
"Ugh…. There's still so much time left….. Showing you around the school… it would be better if Teacher Julia did it, right? Then what should we do to pass the time…."
"You mentioned teaching elemental magic. Could you tell me a little about it? I'm somewhat interested…."
Illien nodded happily. While having her show him around the school would be nice, he worried someone might notice the strange way her breasts moved. Her cheerful, bright personality and exaggerated gestures contrasted sharply with her enormous breasts and sensual figure.
"Then just a moment…. Let's see, the basic textbook…."
Illien rummaged through her drawer. Her bouncing breasts caused her clothes to ride higher and higher, slowly exposing her backside. Purple lingerie panties—completely mismatched with her personality yet perfectly suited to her figure—revealed themselves against her pale buttocks.
"This might be a little difficult… hmm… this one…."
Illien had turned around defenselessly to scan the bookshelf, her ass completely filling Marei's view. From this angle alone, it looked as if she were shaking her hips to seduce a man. Marei stared at her in a daze.
"Teacher Illien."
"Aww~, I told you to call me comfortably when it's just the two of us, like when you're with Julia. Why?"
Illien looked at Marei, seemingly unaware that her clothes had ridden up and fully exposed her lower body. Her obliviousness, to the point she hadn't even realized she wasn't wearing a bra, naturally erased any questions.
"Aren't you curious about my left eye?"
"Hmm… I was curious, but I was trying to be careful….. Huh…? Kyaaaaah!!"
Illien had been twirling her index finger when her gaze fell on her own lower body, where her white thighs were completely visible. Realizing her dress had ridden up and fully exposed her panties, she shrieked and frantically pulled the fabric back down.
"Ah… um… that… this is… haha… I'm such a klutz…."
Seeing her face turn bright red as she babbled incoherently, Marei answered with a small laugh. The hesitation about whether to remove his eyepatch now seemed foolish. It would have been better to simply be honest with his desires. Thinking this, he slowly opened his mouth.
"It's nothing special, but it's a bit uniquely shaped. People's stares feel burdensome, I suppose…."
This time. This time is really the last.
Making a resolution that might actually carry meaning, Marei removed the eyepatch covering his left eye without waiting for Illien's reply.
She pretended to remain calm, as if trying to steer the conversation elsewhere, and looked at Marei's left eye.
"What an interesting eye…."
Illien stared blankly at Marei's eye. He smiled calmly, as if anticipating the result to come, then stood up and positioned himself beside her bookshelf.
"What is the title of the book you're looking for, Teacher?"
"Ah…. It's…. Ma, Magic Studies In, Introduction…."
Illien suddenly began to stutter. Marei, who had scanned the bookshelf, slowly approached her side. She flinched and took a step away from him.
"I'll help. It wasn't visible from over there."
After scanning the shelf in front of him and glancing sideways, Marei smiled happily at the sight of Illien returning to her original spot.
When Illien saw Marei's face, she grabbed any book within reach and hid her flushed cheeks behind it.
"Eh? Is that the right one? It says 'Applications of Magic Circuit Formations and the Current System.'"
"Ah, no…. Not that one… um, where is it?"
Between the awkwardly held book, Illien's reddened ears peeked out. Pretending to search for the book, Marei grabbed the back of her hand.
Illien glanced at him briefly before quickly turning her head away. The long fingers extending from the captured hand trembled visibly.
"Ah, sorry. Your hands are so slender and pretty."
"Uh… th-thank you."
He slowly withdrew the hand holding the back of hers. As if reluctant to part, her hand carefully followed his before finally stopping.
Illien forcibly suppressed the sigh rising from deep in her chest.
What is…. this….
Seeing her reaction, Marei's actions grew bolder. Still needing to maintain appearances, he scanned the bookshelf in front of him, then pressed his penis—straining so hard against his pants it threatened to burst through—against Illien's honey-glistening thighs.
