Chapter Title: Emergency Mission to Kepa
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Humanity's guardians, still locked in battle against the Demon King's army.
I'd learned that plenty of cadets mistakenly assumed Melbritt was some righteous institution just because it supported heroes.
I myself had started off with that vague impression.
But once you cracked open the lid, this was the reality.
Melbritt was ruthlessly selecting only those worth investing soul coins in.
They evaluated skill and results in the process, but never character.
Then they culled even from those select few.
Not some glorious, honorable hero academy brimming with prestige.
More like a broken school in a diseased world...
Yeah.
It suited me perfectly.
"Head to Kepa with the rest, then?"
Neris looked at my face for the first time.
"...You. What's your name?"
"Decal."
"I see. So you're..."
Neris's gaze slithered over me from head to toe, slow as a snake.
Like she was appraising me.
It was something I often did when checking out girls, but getting it from a beauty with overwhelming tits was a first—and damn, it felt good.
"Um, excuse me...?"
Just then, someone timidly cracked open the door.
It was Aba.
My roommate, Aba Rown.
"Who walks into the student council room without knocking?"
Neris shot him a sharp glare.
"Eek! Sorry. Th-the door was open, so..."
"If you have business, we'll hear it next time. Out."
"Um..."
"Didn't you hear me say out?"
Aba was hemming and hawing like he had something to say, so I decided to help.
"Hold on."
Neris glanced at me.
"What?"
"Isn't he a volunteer?"
"..."
Neris turned back to Aba.
She didn't say a word, but her aura pressed him like she was demanding confirmation.
Aba nodded frantically.
"Y-Yes! That's right! I was so nervous I went to the bathroom, and by the time I got back, everyone had moved to the student council room... So I came late..."
Neris let out a small sigh as Aba spilled his excuse.
"Fine.
Come in."
And with that, five volunteers filled the student council room.
Karen, Diana, Stia.
Plus Aba and me.
I hadn't gathered them myself, but weirdly enough, they were all familiar faces.
My one hope was that the last one would've been Ekate instead of Aba, but that was probably too greedy.
With this party, the girls were already overkill—tits, asses, and beauty all maxed out.
No guy with normal libido could handle that level.
Not that Aba could lay a hand on any of them, of course.
Aba naturally took a spot in the corner.
"With the new volunteer here, I'll explain again.
Student Council Emergency Directive 71. The mission: annihilate the bandits raiding Kepa Village and confirm the source and destruction of the red soul stones.
Complete the directive, and you'll get a bunch of soul coins as reward, plus 500 extra points toward your current rank."
"500 points..."
Aba muttered to himself and swallowed hard.
500 points was enough to promote in any rank.
Karen could hit wolf rank; I could reach bear.
"This emergency directive prioritizes 'combat ability' above all.
If you think you're outmatched, turn around and leave now."
None of us turned.
"State your names, one by one."
"Diana Vanguard."
"You're 'Crimson Flame's' little sister, then."
"Yes, that's right."
The little sister of a proud older sister.
Diana puffed out her chest and answered confidently.
"Uh, Aba Rown."
"The second son of the Rown family?"
"Yes...!"
Neris listened intently, looking each one straight in the eye.
I'd thought she was just some high-and-mighty type who looked down on everyone.
But right now, she seemed genuinely serious.
"Stia Harpe. Eldest daughter of the Harpe family."
"Hm."
"I'm Karen! Ex-adventurer!"
Karen said it in a bright voice.
Neris stared at her, mildly surprised.
"Ex-adventurer...?"
"Yes!"
Neris finally turned to me.
"Cadet Decal. Correct?"
"Yes."
"Family?"
"None."
"...Anything else to say?"
Anything else?
I blatantly eyed Neris's tits and ass as I replied.
"If I hit dragon rank, can I see you again?"
"..."
The air froze solid.
I could tell she was radiating killing intent.
The same woman who'd been pressuring everyone shifted to an icy, emotionless glare as she approached.
Had I poked the bear too hard? Sweat beaded on my palms.
If it got dangerous, hypnosis...
Huh?
How close is she planning to get?
Neris closed in until her tits were brushing my chest.
A faint, intoxicating scent made my head spin.
"Dress properly."
With leisurely motions, she started buttoning my blazer.
Her hands drifted lower.
Her thick allure had my cock straining against my pants like it wanted to burst free.
Was she just oblivious? Pretending not to notice?
Neris's expression didn't change.
She stepped back, inspected my outfit with her eyes, and gave a subtle nod.
"Head to Kepa.
Once it's done, come back here to report."
"...Yes."
I answered like she was leading me by a string.
She'd completely overwhelmed me.
In the best way possible.
The fact that I'd even debated hypnotizing her on the way here felt pathetic now.
The moment I realized how alluring Neris was, I knew exactly what to do.
Snap!
I raised my hand and flicked my fingers.
Pathetically easy—Neris Rike fell right into my grasp.
Whatever artifact she had, whatever constitution, it didn't matter. Proven.
'Hypnosis might be risky if...'
That wasn't like me.
Unless I was proactively hypnotizing to eliminate threats.
When using hypnosis, my pleasure was all that mattered.
"Neris. Open your mouth."
Neris parted her lips with a blank stare.
I pulled the defenseless Neris into a tight embrace and kissed her.
"Churuup."
I forced my tongue in, sucking noisily at her mouth, feeling her tits press against me.
I ground my rock-hard cock against her body.
What a turn-on. Height around 168 cm? Hugging her, I could tell her body was seriously toned, like Noah's.
She must've worked hard to burn off any extra fat, but no dice.
All it did was accentuate her feminine softness—the ultimate fuckable body.
Even as I clung unconsciously, she stood firm, unshaken.
Her well-developed spinal erectors and explosively tight ass were perfection.
The more I kneaded them, the more impressed I got.
"Churp. Chuup."
I spent a good while glued to her mouth, grinding my cock, groping her ass, enjoying her body freely.
Taste test over.
I stepped back.
"Neris. 'You cannot attack me.'"
"..."
Even if she wanted to harm me now, she couldn't act on it.
Safety net set.
"Next time, I'll fuck you for sure."
I couldn't keep running into Neris steadily right now.
I had to take the directive and check out what happened in Kepa.
Which meant if I got a taste now, I'd have a woman floating around needy.
Stia Harpe.
Her, specifically.
Now that I'd confirmed I could toy with Neris via hypnosis anytime, no rush.
Two fresh pussies rolling in thanks to the emergency directive.
Stia and Neris.
Conveniently both waiting in the student council room for my cock.
I could fuck them both right now.
If it was just fucking, sure.
But that didn't sound fun.
I could do that anytime later.
If the hypnosis target was student council president level, I'd prioritize her to control Melbritt.
But she was queued up now.
Too precious to rush here.
Fuck Stia first—she'd be sticking close during the mission.
Then Neris after we got back.
I'd brainstorm suggestions for Neris in the meantime.
I straightened Neris's disheveled uniform, retreated to my spot, and clapped.
Clap.
"...?"
Neris's eyelids fluttered.
Maybe from me groping her tits and ass so thoroughly in trance.
She crossed her arms in a defensive stance, like she felt some unexplained arousal.
We left the student council room.
Emergency directive. What now?
"Alright, I'm off. You guys handle yourselves."
Diana immediately bailed on the party.
Already sensing good vibes.
Sarcasm, of course.
"Wait, Diana. Let's all head to the party hall together."
I grabbed Diana.
"Not tagging along with a deadweight like you."
Blunt.
But Diana stared me down, like she had lingering attachment.
"...You should be the one following me."
"Huh?"
"You come with me. Them? Or me?"
Oh.
Tricky. Now I was second-guessing.
What'd she say during the briefing again?
Nothing mandating all five in a party.
Whoever racks up results gets the eval and rewards.
I didn't see Diana as deadweight, but no need to drag her along either.
Then Stia stepped up.
"Diana, Decal's right. This mission's dangerous."
"Who benefits most from a party? You, the play-pretend leader.
I have zero interest in matching your slow pace. I need to catch up to my sister ASAP.
This only matters if I shine brightest."
Diana spat thorns at Stia, marking her territory.
I couldn't take sides.
Five-person party.
I just wasn't sold on it myself.
If they were all girls, no hesitation.
If it was purely for my fucks, I'd deploy every word and tactic to drag them along.
Hypnosis if needed.
"I know all about red soul stones.
Humans exposed to the Demon King's magic quickly lose rationality and go berserk. They stop being human.
They forget their past lives, repeating murder and rape until they turn into feral beasts. Who knows how many are in that village."
"Scare tactics? Think I'll bow my head?"
"When facing dangerous foes, caution's key.
Wouldn't more people make it easier to scout what happened and gauge the enemy numbers?"
Spot on from start to finish.
Stia explained why parties mattered in terms Diana could grasp.
But Diana's face screamed 'don't wanna.'
"Then do it without me."
Spoiled kid with a grudge. Textbook.
"That's..."
Stia deflated, at a loss.
She'd tried, but only confirmed Diana's walls were up.
This flow was bad.
I was full of plans to fuck Stia and Karen, but Diana bailing threw a wrench.
No choice. Time to sweet-talk.
"Diana."
I called her name and took her hand.
"...What."
Gruff reply, but she didn't pull away.
"Let's all go. I wanna see you in action."
"..."
Diana squeezed my hand tight.
"Fine... You can't relax without me anyway. I'd be in trouble if you died..."
"Good. Now that it's settled, say it to Stia too—not just me?"
"..."
Diana looked at Stia, her tone much softer.
"I'll do it your way once. But if you drag me down, I'm ditching instantly. Don't stop me then."
"Please do."
Stia said it confidently, like she'd cause zero hassle.
The two shook hands.
Finally pulled Diana to our side.
"No objections to moving together?"
I said it to lighten the mood, loud for all.
"Yeah, Oppa!"
Karen chirped energetically, while the other two nodded like they'd bought in.
But one guy.
"Ugh..."
Aba groaned, face drained of color.
"Aba. You okay?"
"That talk just now... real? Monsters with red soul stones, unknown numbers..."
"Well, probably?"
"Ughhh..."
Aba eyed the student council door.
Warring with his instinct to bail and retract.
"Gonna quit?
Now's the perfect time if you are."
I suggested it casually.
Truth was, I wouldn't miss Aba if he left.
Not that I wanted to shove him out.
"I... have to go."
Aba muttered like he was psyching himself up.
Fair. Dangerous mission. Extra guy couldn't hurt.
Wouldn't need him on vacation, though.
"Let's move spots. Better somewhere outside Melbritt to huddle and plan.
Mixed group like this draws eyes anyway."
Couldn't crash one dorm or the other.
'Octo Shell Castle' was off-limits to guys besides me.
Needed space, comfort too.
"Diana. Your place."
"Hah? Think you can waltz in anywhere?"
"Hm... Tricky. Thought the Vanguard family would spare a room for comrades to chat."
"...Didn't say no. Fine. Come over."
"Yes!"
I clapped and cheered to embarrass her.
Diana flushed, fiddling with her hair and looking away.
"We'll discuss pre-Kepa prep there. Stia, cool?"
"Y-Yeah..."
Stia gazed at me with fervent eyes.
"Having a seasoned adventurer like Decal really puts my mind at ease."
...Why wouldn't this girl's favor skyrocket stop?
Unanswered mystery since enrollment.
