102. Aphrodisiac Jang Ryu-o
102. Aphrodisiac Jang Ryu-o
I pondered deeply about why things turned out this way.
[Whik whiririk! Whik!]
The moment of choice was still vivid, the Succubus that had so flamboyantly asserted itself.
Stubborn pride and arrogance had made my eyes spin for a moment.
'Did I press the overlapping ones at the same time...?'
I reflected on my lack of rationality...
"Tut... Might actually be a good thing."
It wasn't intentional, but seeing the Status Window filled with skills, I thought it turned out well.
I'd ended up selecting multiple classes at once.
No wonder my power had suddenly surged, startling me.
I'd have to adapt through Training.
"Sniff! Oppa...?"
"Hm?"
"Huh?"
I spoke to my companions, who had been waiting only for my response.
"Ah, it's nothing. Just a sec."
"""???"""
How should I explain this?
I considered hiding it for a while, but decided to just tell them.
It might cause some effect, but better than hiding it and causing trouble.
And above all, these were reliable companions.
They wouldn't go blabbing anywhere, and couldn't even if they wanted to.
I spoke to my companions, who were waiting patiently without complaint.
"Phew... So, like..."
Once the explanation was done...
"Succubus... Swordsman? Su, Succubus is... a class... right?"
"Grrrrrr... No wonder..."
"Hueeng? Mixed? Classes? How could that... Uung... If it's Oppa...?"
My companions tilted their heads.
Jenin looked up, pondering seriously.
"Never heard of such a class. Any unusual physical symptoms?"
"Not yet."
"I was planning to head to the Red Tower soon anyway, so I'll look into it too."
Jenin was thinking even more deeply than expected.
My eyes widened at the unexpected side of her, and Jenin smirked.
"I've got a personal curiosity about the unknown. And you're my teammate— that look in your eyes is a bit much!"
"O..."
"'O' what, Ryu-o-ssi!"
"No, back at our first meeting..."
"Krheueheum!!! Ahem!"
"..."
I pretended not to notice Jenin's desperate gestures begging me to forget that incident.
Still, thanks.
Magna stared right through me, then snorted.
"Hmph! Fine stud. You are no impure being."
"Haha, thanks Magna."
"Yeah. If you were a real Succubus, you couldn't receive Divine Power."
-Woong!
Magna poured Divine Power into my body once more and nodded.
Ah... I thought it was just comforting, but there was a valid reason.
Apparently, while I was passed out, he'd infused me with Divine Power.
"I see..."
"Worry not."
After that, Magna eyed me up and down stickily.
"...Magna?"
"Ignore it. Priest's duty."
What the hell??? Was this a visual check-up or something?
Whatever, I let it slide and stayed still, then Selana looked at me with puffy eyes.
"Oppa. So that's four classes? Amazing!!"
Relieved, I wiped the tear stains from smiling Selana's face.
-Swsh swsh
"Kyarruk!"
"Thanks, Selana. Oh, and what classes did everyone get?"
Everyone had been so out of it, I hadn't checked.
Magna gave a faint smile and gazed at the sky outside the window.
"Priest... I am a Priest."
How anxious he must have been. Probably felt like the goddess herself had vouched for him.
"Congrats, Magna."
-Nod
Selana mumbled with her lips, her cheeks flushing pink.
"Heehee! Oppa, guess what my class is~"
"Oh? Got a good one?"
Selana bounced her butt on my lap, jumping up and down.
"Heehi... I'm... a Guardian! Top of the top frontline class! Whaddya think? Whaddya think?? "
Knowing she'd get praise, Selana's energy shot to the heavens.
She was showing such a cute side, so I had to praise her plenty.
"That's awesome? Selana, you're so reliable. Super cool."
"Heehee♥♥♥"
-Squeeze! Rub rub
Selana rubbing her cheek against me in my arms was too adorable.
Ah... I miss my little sisters.
-Bok bok bok bok bok
"Jenin. You?"
Jenin let out a deep sigh and answered.
"I'm a Mage..."
"Isn't that good? You don't seem pleased?"
"Men are... greedy by nature, aren't they..."
Jenin looked somehow regretful.
"Reclass isn't just this once. Let's aim for a better one next time."
Only then did determination rise in Jenin's eyes.
"Right! I, Jenin! Am no pathetic man who gives up here! Next time... next time for sure!!!"
-Kaduk kaduk
Whoa... So simple, so refreshing.
"Y, yeah... It'll be fine."
As we chatted away like that, we got off the carriage one by one.
We parted ways promising to meet again soon, leaving just Selana and me in the carriage.
I was stroking Selana, who'd been pretty shocked, as we traveled...
-Bok bok bok bok
"Hau..."
-Twist... Twitch!!
"Huing..."
Selana trembled, then went limp in my arms.
"Selana?"
"Oppa... You smell so good... Sniff sniff! Hau..."
I... knew this reaction.
The reaction my wives had when they wanted me.
My body's unique earthy scent intensifying, melting stickily.
A sweet milky smell wafted subtly from Selana's body.
She gazed at me blankly with moist eyes.
"Oppa..."
I picked up Selana...
-Swish
"Huh?"
And placed her on the seat in front.
-Thud
"Selana. Feeling weird?"
"Ung..."
"Tell me in detail."
"D-detail?"
I looked seriously at Selana, who was wriggling her body.
"Yeah. In detail."
"Sh-should I really say..."
"Hey now. Tell Oppa quick."
"Hiiing..."
Selana fidgeted with her fingers, mumbling hesitantly.
"W-well... My heart's pounding, my belly's all warm and tingly, my back has no strength, thaaat... thaaat... Hau! I dunnooo!"
"...Selana."
"Ung?"
This was bad.
"When did the symptoms start?"
"Hm? When was it...? After Magna left. After Jenin left?"
Seemed like the Charm skill had activated.
"How's it when we're apart?"
Selana looked at my face and smiled brightly.
"Just feels good♥"
"Your body?"
"Huh? Huh? Come to think of it... Not hot anymore!! Back doesn't ache either!"
Selana had been stuck to me the whole time.
If heat had come, it should've hit earlier.
That meant either Magna or Jenin had been suppressing the skill.
'Magna... Divine Power! It's the Divine Power.'
I'd figured out the cause and suppression method, but the big problem was...
'Is this passive?'
It activated without me consciously triggering Charm.
'Urgh... Gotta keep the skill level from rising.'
Minimize contact except with my wives.
Skill levels rise the more it activates.
I sighed deeply at the growing list of things to research, and Selana started sniffling.
"Phew..."
"Oppa... I'm sorry..."
"Hm? What're you sorry for, Selana? What?"
"I... I..."
Tears like chicken droppings welled up in Selana's eyes again.
She must've been anxious seeing my frown.
My little sisters used to get scared when I got serious too.
"No, Selana. It's my fault. Seems the new Charm skill is causing issues."
"Ch-Charm???"
"Yeah. Can't cling too much from now on."
"Ah? Uuuh? N-not Charm..."
Just then, the carriage arrived at the duke's residence, and the knight politely opened the door.
-Knock knock... Click~
"We'll escort you both inside."
"Got it?"
"Eh...? Eeeeh?!!?"
I'd finished explaining to Hilda and Master, who were gaping on either side of me.
"...That's how it happened."
"Suc... Magic Swordsman?"
"Succubus Swordsman?"
Precisely ¿Succubus Magic Swordsman¿, but I just nodded.
"Yes..."
Master, not quite getting it, stripped off my top and kneaded my upper body.
-Swish~ Knead knead... Woong...
-Snap!
"Huh...? Body's the same... G-Goodness! What kind of internal energy is this..."
Hilda pursed her lips and tapped her own mouth.
"?"
"Kiss."
"??"
"Quickly."
Well... She asked, so I did.
"Chuu♥ Hm... Feels good, same as usual. Can't tell?"
"Urgh... Darling. No other bodily oddities?"
Kinda thrown by the calmer reaction than usual, I nodded blankly.
"Uh... Not sure about my body. Strength and reaction speed are up, so I'll need to adjust with Training."
"Right. Let's focus on Training once we're back."
Master hugged my head and gently stroked it.
-Squeeze swsh swsh swsh
"Hm... Is everyone okay?"
Master and Hilda exchanged looks and nodded.
"If it's Darling..."
"I think it suits you."
Well... After surprising them so many times, they'd gotten used to it.
Felt bad for always worrying them.
"Haha... S-sorry..."
Master clung to my waist, looking up at me.
"Hm? Darling. Look at me. What's there to be sorry for? Hm? Chu chu♥"
Hilda smiled warmly and stroked my head.
-Swsh swsh swsh
"Not at all. Succubus or demon, doesn't matter. I've already given you my soul."
Whoa... Both so lovable, driving me crazy.
I'd planned to experiment after explaining, but I couldn't hold back.
I stole Master's lips as she kissed my chin, and grabbed Hilda's breast.
"Haa... Mmph..."
"Churrurp!♥ Uum! W-wait!!! Chuuuuwup♥"
-Swish swish... Grab! Squeeze♥
"Haaang! W-wait, Jang Ryu-o! O-one at a time!"
No way. Both too lovable.
Master gulped for air and pushed me away, but...
"Haa... D-dear♥ We should head back soon... Churrurp♥"
Her tail was wrapped tightly around my waist.
Hilda hugged my arm, swaying her hips.
"Jang Ryu-ooo♥ Jang Ryu-ooo♥"
And so my class exploration began.
