Chapter Title: Reincarnated as the Plum Blossom Swordmaster in a Count's Family
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A week passed, and I swapped out the Lucky Skebe Talisman.
‘It turns black once the effect wears off.’
I tossed the Lucky Skebe Talisman. It was single-use only, so once the effect ended, it was nothing more than a cheap bracelet.
As I left the dormitory, I slipped the new Lucky Skebe Talisman I'd prepared onto my left wrist. It was one enhanced using Gwangmyeong Seungcheon-do from the Playful Life world in Gwangmyeong Seungcheon-do.
‘It should be even more effective than a normal one since I enhanced it. This is pretty exciting.’
The side effects would be stronger too, but I trusted my Complete Recovery skill.
For the past week, there had been one woman I'd been focusing on intensively.
Floy Lambreida, the female professor in the Swordsmanship Department.
Thanks to the Lucky Skebe Talisman's effect, we'd gotten as far as sucking each other's genitals, but we weren't making much progress beyond that.
‘Lewd stuff keeps happening, so we've gotten pretty used to skinship.’
She wouldn't even flinch much if I touched her shoulder for no reason.
‘If I can find the right opportunity, I could push things further... Guess I'll have to wait and see.’
Today, I had someone else in mind.
My target was Ruby Ermega, a fourth-year student in the Magic Department and the library's librarian.
I'd gathered some intel in advance.
Ruby loved books, as befitting a librarian. She wasn't obligated to do the job; she'd volunteered for it herself. Aside from her one day off a week, she always worked at the library after classes ended.
‘Her magic skills are pretty solid, mainly support magic, with barriers as her specialty.’
She had a few male friends but no female ones. Her father was a viscount with territory. Her personality was gentle, and she rarely got angry.
‘I've got a plan. Time to approach her through books.’
And most importantly.
‘I can't forget that the author who created this world was a middle schooler at the time.’
The moment classes ended, I headed straight to the library.
No lewd incidents happened along the way. The Swordsmanship Department didn't have many women.
And there were only two in the fourth year. I'd been deliberately avoiding them. Simple reason: they weren't beauties. If the Lucky Skebe Talisman caused something lewd with them, it'd just annoy me.
‘Fortunately, the Lucky Skebe Talisman seems to understand me. It’s never led to anything lewd with ugly women.’
I arrived at the library and pretended to browse while quietly wandering around. There were about five librarians, but Ruby was the only one I was after.
‘No Ruby. She hasn't arrived yet?’
A few minutes later, Ruby entered the library. She was in her uniform, with a white armband on her right bicep marking her as a librarian.
‘I need to catch her when no other librarians are nearby. Can't have them interfering.’
Ruby was quite the beauty, so I could see the male librarians mustering their courage to talk to her.
‘Is it because she's nobility? She plays innocent while drawing a clear line.’
The male librarians couldn't cross that line and stayed as mere colleagues.
‘No other librarians around... Now's my chance.’
I approached Ruby.
“Excuse me. I'm looking for a book.”
“Sure. What book?”
“The Mage's Indiscretion.”
“The Mage's Indiscretion...?”
Ruby blinked in slight confusion.
The Mage's Indiscretion was a romance novel. A pretty steamy one at that.
‘I saw her reading romance novels when I scouted the place last time.’
Ruby seemed to prefer novels over magic tomes. Especially steamy romances.
“We don't have it here?”
“Oh, we do. The Mage's Indiscretion is mostly checked out by women, so I was a bit surprised...”
“I'm interested in novels... I wanted to try one that women like.”
“Really? It's over in that shelf. Let me show you.”
“You don't have to...”
“It's fine.”
I followed behind Ruby. All according to plan. Given her personality, I figured she'd guide me personally if she wasn't busy.
The shelf with the novels was tucked away in a relatively secluded corner. The tall shelves blocked it from most lines of sight.
“The Mage's Indiscretion... There it is.”
Ruby reached up toward the upper shelf.
‘Heh. I deliberately placed it high up so it wouldn't be easy to grab.’
Ruby stood on her tiptoes, straining to pull out the book, but her fingers barely reached.
‘The stage is set. Activate, Lucky Skebe Talisman!’
I'd researched the talisman's activation timing. As long as I set up the situation right, lewd incidents had a high chance of happening.
Unable to reach, Ruby gave a little hop to grab it. But she lost her balance and stumbled.
“Ah...”
She toppled toward me, flailing her arms until she grabbed my pant leg and underwear. My body fell backward, and I landed on my butt.
“...!”
Ruby's face pressed right against my dick. Her lips kissed my balls, her nose and cheek rubbing against the shaft.
She froze, eyes wide, too stunned to process. After a few seconds, she jolted up in shock.
“S-Sorry!”
Ruby squeezed her eyes shut, trembling as she bowed her head in apology. It was loud enough to echo. I pulled up my pants.
“...It was an accident, so it's fine. Lift your head. You can open your eyes now. Pants are on.”
I was a bit disappointed. Compared to the enhanced version, the talisman's effect didn't seem any different from the unenhanced one.
“I'm so sorry. Really... Why did I grab your pants of all things... How should I make it up to you...”
“Make it up...”
I was about to say it was fine when another idea popped into my head.
“Show me your pussy.”
“Huh?”
“What happened was basically sexual assault. Lords say blood must be repaid with blood. You sexually assaulted my dick, so it's only fair if I assault your pussy too.”
“What are you...”
Ruby backed away. I kept pressing without pause.
“If you don't show me your pussy, I'll report what just happened to Dean Habis. Oh, wait. You rubbed your face on my dick and touched my balls with your lips. So I'll rub your pussy with my face the same way.”
Ruby's face went pale at my words.
“That's ridiculous! It was an accident!”
“Would you say the same if an accident killed someone?”
I knew it was all sophistry. But I pressed on shamelessly. If I could lick her pussy, sophistry or not, who cared.
Thud. Thud.
Someone approached.
“Is something wrong?”
It was the male librarian who'd talked to Ruby earlier. I looked at him like it was perfect timing.
“Do you know what happened just now? This librarian...”
“O-Okay! I'll do what you say. Happy now?!”
Ruby cut in hastily.
“Well, if you're compensating, that's fine.”
“Are you hurt?”
“Not hurt, but when that librarian fell earlier, my clothes got a bit torn.”
I showed him a torn part of my shirt. I'd noticed his approach with my senses and torn it slightly with a flex of strength.
“Oh dear... Ruby made a mistake. We'll compensate you, not her.”
I glanced at Ruby. Did she read my eyes? She startled and spoke to the librarian.
“No! It was my mistake, so I should take responsibility. J-Just wait outside a moment. Follow me. I'll make it right!”
Ruby grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the library. She led me to a wooded area nearby, checked that no one was around, and looked at me with a complicated expression.
“Once. Just once...!”
“Sure. You buried your face in my dick for about ten seconds... So I'll bury my face in your pussy for ten seconds.”
“Ten seconds? That's too long! It was only three seconds at most.”
“That's the perpetrator's opinion. The victim—me—felt it as ten. Or should we ask Dean Habis if it was three or ten? I bet the dean would believe the victim.”
“...”
Tears welled up in Ruby's eyes.
Her tears stirred lust more than pity in me. No reason for pity when I'm the victim.
“What's it gonna be? Dean's office?”
“...Fine. Ten seconds. Exactly ten.”
“Good. Hurry up and get ready. I wanna get back and read.”
“Hic.”
Ruby sniffled as she pulled down her panties from under her skirt and clutched them tightly in both hands.
Plain white panties.
I pretended to be disinterested.
“Hmm.”
“W-Why are you getting closer?!”
“Gotta get close to bury my face, right?”
I knelt in front of her. Her black skirt loomed before me.
“Lift your skirt already. I don't wanna do this either, but I pay my debts promptly.”
“Sob... Sob.”
Ruby wept hesitantly as she lifted her skirt.
An inverted triangle of pubic hair came into view, framing her bright pink pussy below. Her labia were slightly parted.
“Kinda musky... but oh well.”
I activated Arousal Boost and buried my face in her pussy. My nose touched her clit, my lips her labia. I deliberately wriggled my lips and breathed out through my nose.
Ten seconds passed. Ruby grabbed my shoulders and pushed me away.
“Ten seconds are up...!”
“Finally.”
I stood up.
“I'm off. Hope there's no next time.”
That day, the Lucky Skebe Talisman's side effect didn't trigger.
The next day, I went to the library and returned The Mage's Indiscretion to Ruby.
“...Yes. Returned, confirmed.”
Ruby took the book warily.
‘She's way too guarded now. No lewd stuff's gonna happen like this.’
Lucky Skebe incidents only happen when you're off-guard. If you're hyper-vigilant and careful, nothing occurs.
‘No worries. I prepared for this.’
It was actually my backup plan from yesterday, but whatever. Yesterday was meaningful enough.
“Enjoyed it. But honestly, I was disappointed.”
“What? W-Which part?!”
Ruby looked slightly offended. She loved romance novels too much to tolerate criticism of The Mage's Indiscretion.
“Low quality all around.”
“You don't know anything about The Mage's Indiscretion. Did you even read it? Returning it after one day—didn't actually read it, huh?”
I'd skimmed about two chapters, cherry-picking the steamy parts.
“What makes you qualified to say that? It's a popular novel! The prose, the plot—better than anything else!”
“You only think that because you've only read low-quality stuff.”
“You little—!”
As Ruby raised her voice, I handed her two bundles of paper. Just A4 sheets roughly bound, all in handwriting.
“Novels I wrote. Give 'em a read.”
“A Study in Scarlet and... The Shadow over Innsmouth?”
Translations of real-world novels.
A Study in Scarlet was Conan Doyle's famous Sherlock Holmes series, and The Shadow over Innsmouth was Lovecraft's horror.
I hadn't even read them fully. Yuria, Liesel, and Kelly handled the translations. I changed all real-world terms and place names to fit this world.
If anyone pointed out the different handwriting, I'd say different people wrote them.
“Read them. You'll see how trashy this world's novels are.”
“...Fine. I'll read yours and critique properly.”
Ruby's eyes blazed. She got confident when it came to books.
“Do what you want. Oh, I'll be back tomorrow. The novels suck, but I'm interested in the magic tomes.”
I was confident.
Yuria had told me yesterday that The Mage's Indiscretion and this world's novels were generally low-quality.
My guess: high illiteracy and constant wars left no room for literature to develop. With novels making up less than 5% of this huge library, I was probably right.
‘Heh. They cut off midway... If she wants the rest, she'll have to spread her pussy. Heh heh.’
I browsed the library once more before leaving the academy.
‘The city's full of beauties... Perfect to test the enhanced Lucky Skebe Talisman.’
Full of anticipation, I headed to the city.
