The Magic City and the Great Detective
Luphtesia sprinkled the liquid from earlier onto her left hand. She coated her pussy and his cock thoroughly with the slick fluid, then grabbed Seong-il's shaft, held it straight up, and lowered herself onto it.
"Ahhng..."
Seong-il's thick cock slid deep inside Luphtesia's pussy. Feeling how impressively solid it was, she began rocking her hips back and forth.
"Ahht... hngh!!"
She arched her back slightly, shamelessly exposing her pussy and breasts, then planted her hands on Seong-il's thighs and started slamming her hips like a woman possessed. Watching her lewd display, Seong-il thought to himself, 'So you thought you could toy with me back at Duke Aibek's estate...? Time to show you what real cock feels like.'
With that thought, he activated his Color Technique. Luphtesia, who had been enthusiastically grinding on top of him, suddenly sensed something strange.
'Wh-what is this...? Why is my body suddenly...?'
She felt an intense heat spreading through her without warning. Strange, unfamiliar energies she'd never experienced before rampaged inside her, and she unconsciously stopped moving her hips.
Smack!!
Seong-il's palm mercilessly slapped her ass as he growled,
"What the hell? Who told you to stop moving your hips without your Master's permission? Shake that ass right now."
"Ah... ahht... S-sorry..."
Luphtesia looked flustered by his scolding. She resumed rolling her hips as ordered, but her mind was spinning. 'This is weird... way too weird... My head feels like it's going to melt.'
The mysterious scorching energy flooding her entire body was addictive. She moved her hips as if possessed by it. The sudden, overwhelming pleasure completely hooked her. Before long, her tongue lolled out, drool spilled from her mouth, her eyes glazed over, and she began mechanically slamming her hips like a machine.
'She's completely lost it...?'
She had always meticulously catered to male pleasure with her techniques and sex, but now the Color Technique had turned the tables. She was the one getting drunk on ecstasy, bucking her hips like a wild animal.
'Yeah, this is the good stuff!'
Seong-il watched with delight as Luphtesia fell apart under the pleasure of his technique. He enjoyed the show for a long while before finally feeling his climax approach.
"Hup... I'm coming..."
"Give it to me! Come inside me...! Hngh... I'm... I'm coming too!"
Seong-il pumped an enormous load of cum deep into her womb at the exact moment she reached her peak. Overwhelmed by the pleasure of his ejaculation, she stroked her own belly with a completely fucked-out expression and began muttering incoherent words.
"Ahht...! So good... So hot... Tastes so good... Ahht...!"
Her eyes rolled back, drool pouring freely as she trembled through another long orgasm, babbling nonsense. Not long after, her body shuddered violently once more. She buried her face in Seong-il's chest and passed out cold.
Seong-il held her, looking bewildered.
"Wh-what the...? Did I make her faint...?"
He hugged the unconscious Luphtesia, still flustered. Without a word, he opened his Inventory, pulled out a towel and the Miracle Cleanser, and began spraying and meticulously wiping her body clean.
After thoroughly cleaning her unconscious form and dressing her again, Seong-il let out a sigh and started tidying himself up as well.
'That was some crazy, frenzied sex...'
Recalling Luphtesia's sudden aggressive attitude, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. Still feeling the lingering heat, he held her close and leaned against the wall, waiting for her to wake up.
'Ugh... If I just leave her here and go wandering around, she'll probably wake up alone and get all sulky with me. That'd be a pain...'
Using that as an excuse, he kept her in his arms and idly kneaded her breasts through her phantom thief suit. He kept groping and squeezing for quite some time.
Eventually, after a considerable while, Luphtesia stirred from the stimulation of his wandering hands. She opened her eyes and looked at him.
"...What are you doing?"
"Hm? Oh! You passed out earlier after we went at it pretty hard. I was worried, so I was giving you a little massage!"
"Hmmm... You're only touching one specific area, so I'm not sure I totally believe that, but... whatever. I'll let it slide."
"Y-yeah...!"
With that, they got up, gathered the magic crystals, and started talking again.
"By the way... how did you clean my body earlier? It couldn't have been solved with just a cloth..."
"Ah, that?"
Without a word, Seong-il pulled out the Miracle Cleanser in response to her question.
"...What's that?"
"It's like a one-time-use magic cleaner. Spray it on and all the filth disappears instantly."
"Ooooh...!!"
At the mention of a magic item, Luphtesia's eyes once again filled with greedy sparkle. Seeing her reaction, Seong-il let out a light sigh and quietly handed her the Miracle Cleanser.
"Here, take it."
"Waaah!!"
Luphtesia snatched it with the delighted expression of a child. Watching her, Seong-il thought, '...She's surprisingly easy to read.'
He gave a wry smile at her cute, beaming face, then helped her disassemble the magic crystals.
"Whew... This is harder than it looks! Right?"
"Of course. They're fixed with magic. If you hadn't held my hand, you wouldn't have even been able to enter, let alone disassemble them. Good thing you held my hand, wasn't it?"
'...Honestly, I wasn't even planning to take them.'
Hiding his true thoughts, Seong-il simply nodded silently. Luphtesia smiled at him and continued.
"Alright... this is the last one! Would you like to take these three?"
Three crystal orbs that were noticeably larger than the others—each about the size of a fist. Seong-il looked at their size curiously and asked,
"Hm? Does bigger size mean better effect?"
"Roughly? The larger they are, the more information they can hold."
"Oho..."
"Of course there are many variables like scratches or mana capacity... but after appraising them myself, the rest don't have any major flaws. I sorted them mainly by size. You shouldn't be losing out on anything."
"I see. I'll trust you."
"Hehe... Thank you."
"That said, how are we supposed to carry all these out...?"
"Just a moment~"
With those words, Luphtesia silently pulled out a ring and stared at the wall, concentrating.
'Ah... Is that the teleportation ring?'
It was the matching pair to the teleportation ring artifact he'd received from her as payment for their partnership. When she took it out, Seong-il nodded silently.
'Yeah. With that, everything gets solved neatly.'
He waited quietly as the portal opened. Soon enough, a portal appeared, revealing a place he'd never seen before.
"...Where is that?"
"My treasure vault. I never show it to anyone, but I'll make an exception for my partner~"
"...Weren't you calling me Master earlier?"
"That~ is only when we're mixing our bodies together~ Got it?"
"Aha~"
After that exchange, Seong-il quietly followed her through the portal into the treasure vault.
"Whoa....."
"Impressive, right? My collection?"
Her collection truly lived up to her confident claim—dazzling and magnificent.
"...This is practically a museum, isn't it?"
Just as Seong-il observed, the countless treasures were gathered at a level comparable to a national museum. While most of the so-called treasures were closer to antiques than glittering gold, even a quick glance showed their exceptional quality.
Luphtesia looked proud at his evaluation and began bragging to him.
"Hehe... It's basically museum quality. None of the items here can be bought with money. Most are artifacts inscribed with forgotten magic from ancient wars that have been lost to time."
"Gulp..."
While Seong-il stood there stunned, Luphtesia approached and whispered,
"Pick two."
"...?"
Seong-il looked at her with a confused expression. Seeing his dumbstruck face, she gave his cheek a light, affectionate kiss and continued.
"Exactly what I said. You made a big concession for me this time, so I want to give you a present too. Pick anything you like. I'll give you two for free, no conditions."
"!!!!!"
Seong-il's eyes widened in shock at her words. A look of pure joy spread across his face as he answered,
"Thank you!!!!"
After that excited shout, he activated Induction and began appraising the items one by one using his smartphone.
Superior Ring of Defense: Absorbs significant impact.
'Oh... So I can link it like this for appraisal too.'
Previously, Seong-il had activated Induction and then touched items to roughly gauge their value. This time, out of curiosity, he tried using it through the Game Master system and his smartphone. The item's information popped up immediately.
'Well... I could already tell what most items were just by turning Induction on, but this is much more intuitive. I'll do it this way from now on.'
With that decision made, Seong-il spent a long time rummaging through Luphtesia's treasure vault, searching for anything useful to him.
'Oh... This is...!'
Gauntlets of Mighty Protection: Ancient gauntlets made from dragon leather and enchanted with powerful magic. Said to have been used by a Master Monk who trained in martial arts. They strongly protect the wearer's fists from sharp blades and impact. Though many years have passed and the mystical powers within the gauntlets are sealed, depending on one's efforts, there may be a way to unseal them.
Having recently developed a taste for fist techniques, Seong-il broke into a wide grin the moment he saw the perfect gloves. He picked them up immediately.
'These will be perfect for when I use fist techniques from now on. Equipment like this should still count as unarmed, so it'll be easy to pass inspections naturally too.'
'For the second one... I can just ask for that Superior Ring of Invisibility I used earlier.'
Having made up his mind, Seong-il told Luphtesia his choices.
"Hm? Those gauntlets don't really do much besides being incredibly sturdy. Are you sure that's enough...?"
"I'm also going to ask for the Superior Ring of Invisibility I used earlier."
"Ah... The ring makes sense given its value, but those gauntlets..."
'She doesn't realize there's additional magic sealed inside the gauntlets, does she?'
Thinking that, Seong-il gave her an excuse.
"You know I'm a martial artist, right? After that fight in Yuna's workshop the other day, I realized gloves like these would be really helpful. That's why."
"Aha~ If that's the reason, then it makes sense."
Luphtesia pulled a ring from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Here! Shall we head out now?"
She then took out a blindfold and handed it to him.
"This is...?"
"Put it on! This is my secret place, so even if you're my partner, I can't just reveal everything~"
"Ah... Well, if you say so."
Seong-il silently put on the blindfold at her reasonable excuse. Luphtesia linked arms with him and began leading him somewhere.
They walked for quite a while. At first, Seong-il tried to memorize the route to her secret location using his senses, but after ten minutes he gave up, sighed inwardly, and simply followed along obediently.
"We're here!"
Luphtesia removed his blindfold. Seong-il looked around and thought,
'Hmm... Her secret place must be inside the sewers.'
As if reading his mind, Luphtesia smiled brightly and said,
"What? Planning to come back alone later and rob my vault?"
"Ah... N-no, that's not it."
"Hehe... If you're confident, go ahead and try. But my treasure vault isn't simply located in the sewers. Like this clock tower, it's hidden behind a kind of portal, so it'll be extremely difficult to find."
"Aha... I see. Don't worry. I wasn't planning to rob you anyway. If I wanted something of yours, I'd just ask honestly. And if I were that greedy, wouldn't I have taken the magic crystals as a whole set?"
"I believe you~"
With that, the two wrapped up their schedule, returned to the Moriarty Detective Agency, and called it a day.
'Hmmm... The weekend's over... Maybe I should go see Officer Irina like I was thinking and have a sparring match.'
It was a weekday morning after a chaotic weekend full of twists and turns. Seong-il arrived early at the first-floor office, had a light breakfast, and waited for Charlotte while thinking.
"Good morning!!"
Not long after Seong-il came downstairs, Charlotte descended into the office. Seeing her, he greeted her warmly.
