Chapter Title: Good and Bad News Come Without Warning
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Good fortune and misfortune arrive without warning.
After classes end at the academy, I have an early dinner with Seria.
Rike desperately hopes this repetitive time will end soon.
It's not that she dislikes Seria or hates sitting with her.
She simply yearns for the moment when Roman signals the end of this dinner time—and nothing more.
"See you tomorrow! Get home safe~"
"Yeah."
Seria brightly waves goodbye with a smile, even though she lives right next door and doesn't head back to the dorms every time.
Does she have some inkling?
She passes through the plaza where the sun still hangs in the sky, following the now-familiar path.
Suddenly, she recalls the day she ran barefoot through the rain to her brother's house.
'That was crazy... How shocked must Oppa have been...'
She had burst in without any warning... Thinking back now, it's mortifying enough to die from embarrassment.
In the end, things worked out because her brother reached out first, but reflecting on it, that day was perilously close to disaster.
Lost in memories of the day her life changed, she turns the corner into the alley.
"...!!"
A house with its door wide open comes into view.
Crash!
"O-Oppa!!"
Rike comes rushing in and leaps straight into a diving hug against my chest.
"Rike! Whoa—have you been doing okay?"
"Not as much as you, but I tried my best... You've really been through it too..."
It had only been a few days, yet she squeezes out her emotions as if welcoming back a soldier from deployment.
Then, as if remembering something, she snaps her head up.
"...Any injuries?!"
"Not a single one!"
I spread my arms wide, striking a pose to show off my body.
"Phew... That's a relief... Such a relief, really..."
"I brought souvenirs too. Nothing extravagant."
I point to the pile of items I'd gathered in one spot, and Rike grabs my hand, pulling me toward something that catches her eye.
"Oppa, is this chocolate?"
She holds up an intricately crafted chocolate sculpture.
"Yeah. Apparently, it's a local specialty."
"Hmm~ Can I eat it?"
Impressive craftsmanship or not, it's still food in the end.
Leaving it just to look at would be a waste.
I nod naturally, and Rike breaks off a piece from the sculpture, popping it into her mouth.
She cups my face with both hands, flashing a seductive smile as she pulls me close.
Just like that, we share the chocolate, our tongues intertwining.
"Mmm... *slurp*—Oppa... It's so good... *gasp*—"
"...Tastes good."
Unlike usual, I gently wrap my arms only around Rike's waist, continuing the kiss.
Even after the chocolate fully melts away, we don't stop for a long while.
Rike's heated hands slide down, beginning to caress my thighs.
"Ngh—!"
Taking that as the cue, I thrust my tongue deep into her mouth and pull her into a fierce embrace.
I push so hard her upper body tilts back, and Rike pulls away slightly, exhaling a sticky breath as if short of air.
"Haa... Oppa... I'm so happy right now..."
After the prolonged kiss, Rike reaches her limit and twists her legs together, her fingers trailing over my lower abdomen.
"Come here."
I sit on the living room sofa, and Rike naturally climbs on top of me.
I roll up her skirt, while Rike, lost in the heat, gazes at me with dizzy eyes and fumbles urgently at my belt.
"Hic!"
Her underwear is soaked through with arousal; I brush it lightly, and Rike's eyes flutter as she hastily yanks down my pants.
I lift my hips to help her slender hands strip off my clothes.
"..."
Seeing my erection spring up rigidly, Rike swallows hard.
Slick—
I pull her panties aside to expose her, and Rike naturally raises her hips, positioning herself over my shaft.
Squelch!
"Haah!! This...!!"
My cock thrusts up, pressing hard against the depths of her lowered womb.
The moment it enters, Rike's head snaps back.
Who knows how much she'd held back over those few days—her walls clamp down with ferocious intensity, savoring my length.
"Haaang... Aaang!! S-so good!! Ang! Hek... Heuk!!"
Squelch! Slurp! Squish, splat! Squish—
Her juices flow freely, soaking our lower bodies, and each time she drops her hips, lewd sounds echo out.
Rike wraps her arms around my neck, burying her face there as she keeps shaking her waist.
Having sex with Rike in her academy uniform carries a thrilling sense of forbidden depravity.
She's given me a blowjob while dressed like that before, but riding me like this is a first.
I unbutton her shirt, groping the breasts hidden beneath her pure white lingerie, losing myself in her moans.
Every time Oppa's magnificent cock pierces me, my mind feels like it's going to fly away.
If I'm not careful, I might pass out in an unsightly faint.
"Hnggh... Aaang!! I'm gonna cum... Gonna cum!!"
My mouth spills vulgar cries on its own.
Again... The sensations pile up relentlessly, building toward climax.
"Grh..."
My ears perk up at Oppa's faint groan.
Compared to how many times he cums, my overwhelming number of orgasms stirs a bit of anxiety.
It's always bothered me.
"Oppa too... Oppa feels good too, right? It's not just me... Hauk... Haak! Eung... Aaang!!"
I don't stop my hips, lifting my head to look at his face.
"Of course... Hoo—I'm going crazy. How are you this cute? Huh?"
The tender touch and expression stroking me are dyed with unmistakable pleasure.
"I love you... Ung!! I love you, Oppa!!!"
Reassuring myself once more that he's feeling it too, I cry out desperately.
"Love you, Rike."
Saying it in that serious tone at a time like this is foul play...
I want to break free of all these chains as soon as possible and bear the child of the man I love.
If it resolves quickly, getting pregnant while still attending the academy sounds perfect.
Carrying Oppa's baby in my belly.
Every woman would envy and covet it.
"Hauk—!! Cum inside... Cum inside quick!"
"...Here it comes!"
When the signal for his release comes, I tense my lower abdomen as much as possible, gripping his cock tight.
Spurt— Splurt, splurrrt!
"Hiiik... Hak!"
As he ejaculates, his massive hand grips my ass firmly, pressing deep for the creampie.
Hot semen floods my womb in torrents, pleasure crashing over me like a storm.
"Uk... Hnggh... Euhik...!"
I grit my teeth to endure, but the abnormal volume far exceeds my womb's capacity, semen starting to leak out.
By the time Oppa finishes one ejaculation, I'd cum who knows how many times...
"Heeung... Oppa~ Oppa~"
For now, I just want to hug my safely returned Oppa and savor this moment.
Isaac uses the academy dormitory not for sleeping, but as a research lab.
He could buy a spacious house in the capital outright, but even the commute from there to the academy felt like a waste of time.
"Just leave that in the hallway."
"Understood!"
Items sent regularly from his family, plus research materials for the object Robert left behind.
With so much piling up, the already cramped room might not even have space left for sleeping.
"Thanks to you, young master, I get to visit the capital so often... I truly appreciate it every time."
The family retainer, who personally hauls these expensive goods each time, approaches with a silly grin.
'Ex-adventurer, was it... Mercenary?'
Isaac had seen him sporadically over the years, but his name still escaped him.
Isaac wasn't particularly fond of the man.
It stemmed from one reason: the rumor that he'd once consumed the rare blood of a unicorn long ago.
Yet despite sacrificing much for it, his lack of skill made him cheap—that decisive factor had caught his father's eye, leading to his employment in the family.
His father used the man solely to monitor his sisters and prevent any deviance, making it hard for Isaac to feel goodwill toward him.
"Heh, who would've thought the young master of House Bolt and Lady Skadi got along so poorly..."
More tuned into noble gossip than the nobles themselves, the man cackles as if he'd witnessed something amusing.
Isaac bites at the bait on a topic that subtly irks him.
"...What are you talking about?"
"Haha, well... It wasn't intentional at all? Pure coincidence... Just now at the academy's main gate—"
Isaac sighs after hearing the retainer's excited tale.
He feels the need to inform his father and have the man dealt with.
'He'll handle something like this.'
His father cuts away anything remotely harmful to the family with ruthless precision.
The man didn't come to the academy for work; he lurked to observe cadets, sating his pent-up urges from holing up at the main estate.
Around the time classes ended today.
Frequenting the academy to move luggage, he'd spotted Robert's fiancée at the main gate.
Sensing the change in Lady Skadi since enrollment—far removed from her initial state—and with no other man but her upright fiancé Robert in the picture, the implications were clear.
A noble of standing breaking an engagement to entangle with another man was unthinkable by Isaac's standards.
Men might get away with such dalliances often enough, but a woman's chastity could be brutally verified through hymen remnants, scrolls, or unicorn blood consumption.
'Good thing things worked out for Robert...'
Hiring such a frivolous fool was his father's misstep.
Had he spouted nonsense about Lady Skadi's purity outside these walls, his head would already be rolling, fodder for beasts.
The man knew that best, yet his mouth itched at the juicy tidbit.
"You need to be extremely careful with that talk. It must never leave this room."
"Of course! I only tell you because I trust you, young master. Hehe—"
Banning this thoughtless fool from academy access and contacting the family ASAP seems best.
No communication artifact, so a letter it is.
'...Need to handle this as soon as possible.'
This ventures into private matters no joke can gloss over.
Accuse the family wrongly, and it could spark a major fallout.
Naturally, even knowing this, Isaac has no intention of letting it show around Robert.
No one likes hearing others know secrets they haven't shared themselves.
Isaac glares at the man grinning vacantly.
'No family either, from what I hear. Shouldn't be much issue.'
A mana contract termination would cost unnecessary coin; better to handle it internally.
Worse, if word spreads and the Mallory family suspects he'd been planted here for other motives...
Only catastrophic futures loom.
After sending the retainer away and unpacking, Isaac muses.
'Impressive. Conquering that girl... Maybe ask Robert about women after all.'
He knew of the daughter of the House Skadi.
Despite the scar on her face, her once-dead eyes and gloomy aura had vanished, replaced by a blooming beauty drawing attention.
Even the Magic Department buzzed with talk.
Isaac had seen Rike Skadi in history class, thought her utterly disinterested in men, Robert included.
But with results like this, he must admit his eyes were pea-sized.
He'd erred in reading her psyche, making Robert seem all the more remarkable.
The root of Lady Skadi's positive change surely lay with Robert.
'Robert might have a straightforward solution...'
Even buried in research and experiments in his room, Isaac wasn't indifferent to women.
He was the one in a bind from impulsive choices.
His eyes kept drifting to another girl—not his self-chosen fiancée.
He'd never imagined this before enrolling.
As long as his personal experiments and research funds were secured, any daughter from a wealthy house would suffice.
'Never thought I'd regret my choice in relationships...'
He'd viewed love as the pinnacle of inefficiency, unprovable emotion.
As heir to the Mallory family, pursuing utmost efficiency left such frivolities for other worlds.
Chloe Dreitna.
Until he met her.
'Gotta consult Robert as payment for the research help.'
