Chapter Title: Executors' Raid
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Executors consisted of two women and one man.
The three Executors each carried different weapons: the two female Executors had longswords at their waists, while the male Executor held a massive spear in his hand.
They were all standard weapons provided by the Empire.
No matter how you looked at them, they were genuine Executors.
Even if I scrutinized them, suspecting they might be phishing criminals impersonating Executors, they were the real deal.
"Where did the report come from?"
"We received a report from the Magic Department. They informed us that the illusion magic here is using spells that deteriorate the minds of Imperial citizens."
Hold on a second.
"The Magic Department filed the report?"
"Yes. It was relayed to our Guard Division and the Executors. For your reference, this is a search warrant issued by the Guard Division."
The black-haired male Executor pulled out a sheet of paper.
It was a genuine search warrant stamped with the seals of the Guard Division and Executors.
"No way... The Magic Department passed it straight to the Executors without verifying it first?"
"We wouldn't know about that. The Magic Department simply stated that a search warrant was needed for their investigation, so we were dispatched first for a preliminary check."
The blue-haired female Executor answered my question.
How frustrating.
The Magic Department, which is supposed to protect mages, handed over a preliminary investigation to the Executors?
'Why on earth?'
Was it retaliation for me protesting the budget cut?
That didn't make sense.
They weren't petty enough to involve the Executors over a mere 20 gold.
There had to be another reason, but I couldn't figure it out.
Regardless of the reason, there was only one way to resolve this absurd misunderstanding.
'If only I could just say the Saintess personally authenticated the shop.'
But I couldn't bring myself to say it.
The Saintess had come in person and verified it with her divine power.
She had visited after receiving a divine revelation from the Goddess about a demon in our shop, and in the process, she had enveloped the entire place with her pure divine power.
She had experienced one of the illusions I created.
She confronted her own desires, which she couldn't tell anyone about.
How could I possibly reveal that the Saintess had indulged in those desires and felt the illusion?
In the end, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
If they wanted to investigate, I had to let them.
I had nothing to hide.
The purple-haired female Executor, who looked like she had a fiery temper, furrowed her brow and asked,
"Don't you want us to search inside quickly? Could you step aside?"
With a search warrant issued by the Guard Division in hand, there was no grounds to refuse.
"Understood. But I have one request."
"What is it?"
"Please don't touch the magic circles. They're extremely valuable. If the Magic Department filed the report, you'd know what kind of magic it is just by looking at them."
If they messed with them and erased or accidentally triggered one, it would cause all sorts of problems.
I was dead serious.
"...Understood."
The Executors entered the shop.
Upon entering, they gaped at the magic circles drawn on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling of the workshop.
"What in the world is this...?"
"Anyone would think it's a demon summoning circle."
"Why are there a bed, sofa, and blankets over there?"
"They're for helping customers rest comfortably while viewing the illusions."
"......"
The three of them went inside and took photos of the interior with a magically operated camera.
The camera, which could capture and store moments through magic, was one of the Meister School's masterpieces.
That was when it happened.
"Kyaaak!"
The blue-haired Executor, who had been searching the interior, let out a scream.
"What happened?!"
The remaining two Executors rushed toward the source of the scream.
'Wait, did she open that?'
A chill ran down my spine.
I thought I'd hidden it well, but they found it?
Hiding my anxiety, I headed toward the noise.
"Th-this is... what...?"
The blue-haired Executor was trembling, holding a grotesquely shaped, thick dildo in her hand.
And around her, dildos of various shapes and all sorts of adult toys had spilled out.
It seemed she'd opened the treasure trove.
'This is a bit tricky.'
"Wh-what kind of lewd...?"
All three wore the same expression.
Unlike regular guards, Executors were often nobles' children.
That meant their sexual sensibilities aligned with typical Imperial nobility.
I'd shown the absolute worst people the absolute worst things.
"Hey, shop owner. What is all this? You need to explain."
The purple-haired Executor glared at me and demanded.
"Th-they're all phalluses... Ughhh."
"Cough! Cough!"
The blue-haired Executor panicked at the sight of the dildos, breast caressers, and various adult toys, while the male Executor blushed, looking troubled.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
To explain this, I'd have to start from the beginning.
What services the customers here received.
Why these items were unavoidable.
But that would violate the shop's rule of protecting customer privacy.
I couldn't open my mouth.
As I stayed silent, their eyes changed.
"We'll need to conduct a more thorough search."
The purple-haired female Executor said, as if she couldn't stand it anymore.
"You'll have to explain the purpose of the magic circles again."
The male Executor frowned and spoke, while the blue-haired female Executor bit her lip after setting down the dildo.
"You know there's a succubus among demons, right? The lust demon that killed many Imperial knights and people with lewdness. This magic circle... it isn't for summoning a lust demon, is it?"
I was hit with an absurd misunderstanding.
No, anyone unfamiliar would see it that way.
A room filled with magic circles, a bed and comfy rest tools on them, and lewd adult toys stored separately.
To an outsider, it screamed that purpose.
For offering people to succubi.
"A city once vanished because a succubus made men and women of all ages indulge in lewd acts without restraint. Speak up!"
"It's not that."
"Not that? Then what is this?!"
The purple-haired female Executor picked up a dildo and shook it.
The huge, grotesque dildo swinging like a pendulum was a bit much to watch.
A female Executor in uniform gripping and shaking a dildo.
The scene felt oddly erotic, so I averted my eyes.
"That's......"
Their faces grew menacing at my inability to respond, fueling the misunderstanding.
"Henis! Restrain him now! Luton, investigate the magic circle."
"Okay, Captain."
At the purple-haired female Executor's command, the blue-haired Henis cuffed my arms.
The male Executor, Luton, approached the magic circle.
"No, I told you that's not it! It might look suspicious, but I really have no intention of summoning succubi or anything..."
"Then answer now. Why are these things here?"
"Adult toys are naturally for everyone's happy time..."
"You used them?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Why say something so terrifying.
This person has no preconceptions at all.
"If you can't explain properly, shut up! Before you're branded a heretic and face the Inquisition. Do you even realize what you're doing?"
I'd fallen into an absurd misunderstanding.
This was really troublesome.
'I half-expected this when I let them in.'
I should have hidden the dildos and adult toys more thoroughly.
If it had only been male onaholes, I could've claimed they were for my personal happy time.
But dildos...
'No way out.'
Resisting here wouldn't improve things.
My illusion magic couldn't easily subdue Executors who'd stormed in prepared.
So I submitted to the arrest.
"It's fine to investigate the magic circle, but can't you wait until the mages arrive?"
"Like we'd trust what you might do. Luton, you're from the Magic Department, so you know magic well, right?"
"Of course, Captain."
"Handle it."
As Luton began investigating the magic circle at the Captain's order,
"Huh?"
There was a tremor in Luton's voice as he investigated.
"C-Captain, this magic circle is beyond my ability to analyze."
"What do you mean?"
"The level is insane. Even as someone who rose to team leader in the Magic Department, I've seen most circles, but this... It would take professors from a school faction to decipher it, not the Magic Department."
"That advanced?"
"Yes. I can only decode basic functions at my level."
"So it is a spell to summon demons?"
"Doesn't seem like it."
That was when it happened.
"Kyaaak!"
"What happened?"
Everyone turned to Henis, who had screamed while searching the shop after cuffing me.
"D-did I touch something wrong...? It started sparkling..."
"Huh?"
I looked at Henis.
What she'd touched was the emergency backup battery Tio had left.
A device made to supply mana in emergencies without any dissipation.
The battery activated, supplying mana to the magic circle, and it triggered immediately.
"H-Henis, what did you touch...?"
If left alone, the magic circle would fully activate, dragging all three into its effects and making them see illusions.
Better to stop it.
I shouted at the purple-haired Captain.
"Release me quickly! I'll stop it."
But before the Captain could react,
Woooong!
The magic circle activated.
"Damn."
And simultaneously, the three were swept into the illusion created by the magic circle.
Since it's an illusion for resolving 'sexual desire' and confronting desires, I had no idea what they'd see inside.
"Ahh. Captain..."
"Uaaah... H-Henis?"
"Ah... Th-this is..."
The three began twitching while staring into empty space.
I hoped all three had normal sexual desires.
"That's why I told you not to touch anything recklessly."
I snapped my fingers.
The mana-blocking cuffs made to capture mages.
They disrupted mana operation with interference signals to block magic.
"My mana isn't flowing well."
I struggled, twisting magic to loosen the cuff's latch.
Focusing all my mind here, I concentrated on unlocking the cuffs.
If I were from the Blaster School, I'd blast them off with a small mana burst, but I'm an illusion mage with no physical power.
Twisting the mana itself to manipulate the cuffs into unlocking was dozens of times harder.
'Regret not going Blaster at times like this.'
Sweating profusely, I worked to dismantle the cuffs.
To end their illusions and stop the magic circle, I needed to intervene as the administrator.
Click!
"Hoo."
After much grueling effort and sweat, I finally unlocked the cuffs.
Rubbing my freed arms, I looked up at the Executors, trapped in the magic circle for dozens of minutes.
"Oooh..."
On the magic circle, the three Executors were stripping each other and entangling their bodies.
"L-Luton, right there feels good! Hngh! Haah! C-coming! Gonna cum... Haaaah!"
"Captain, this spot feels good, right?"
"Luton... Me too, hurry..."
Both women seemed to have feelings for Luton and were clinging to him, begging for sex.
Witnessing the Executors who'd come to investigate having sex.
Especially after they'd freaked out over the dildos as lewd.
"Never saw this coming."
What illusions had they seen while I was freeing myself?
'People dishonest about their desires go wilder.'
With a deep sigh, I adjusted the magic circle.
I cut off the mana from the operating battery and slowly landed them back to reality to avoid damage.
Even after the illusion faded, the three—wildly entangled on the floor and bed—remained immersed in their group sex.
And when climax and ejaculation approached,
They finally seemed to notice their surroundings had changed, panting heavily.
"Th-this is..."
The three looked at each other awkwardly.
To bring their minds fully back to reality, I approached.
"Did you enjoy yourselves?"
"......"
"......"
"......"
They blinked at me for a moment, then hurriedly covered their bodies.
I handed them the shop's standard uniforms for customers.
"Put these on first. We can talk after."
Things might work out well?
