Chapter 159: Shatter, Common Sense! Explode, Endorphins! (1)
It was the aftermath of our usual tempestuous sex.
I couldn't help but marvel at the effects of the necklace imbued with Sexplosion magic.
"Serica, how do you feel?"
"......."
It was morning.
Serica, fiddling with the Libido Bomb necklace fastened around her neck, kept scratching at her throat as if it felt utterly alien to her.
"What was it I had to say to take this off again?"
"I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's wiener. Huaaaang."
That was the safe word.
It was our knight order's exclusive secret command to freely deactivate the Libido Bomb necklaces.
A secret command is supposed to be a phrase the enemy would never suspect, after all.
Who in the world would say something like that out loud?
Perhaps if I had raped someone and forced the necklace on them until they were corrupted by my cock, it might be different. But even then, they wouldn't be able to deactivate it just by saying something with a similar nuance.
Because...
"...I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's cock. Huaaaang."
"Wrong."
It wasn't "cock."
"You have to say 'wiener.'"
"...I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's wiener. Huaaaang."
"Wrong again."
"No, why this time?! Urgh...!"
Serica tried to grab the necklace in a fit of pique, nearly triggering the sex magic within.
"The moment you try to force it off, or the moment the necklace receives excessive stimulation, the sex magic activates. Hehehe."
Libido is, ultimately, a manifestation of hormones.
Whether it's testosterone or estrogen, sex hormones play a sensitive role.
The Libido Bomb necklace—the so-called "Sexplosion"—stimulates these sex hormones.
At least, that was my theory.
I didn't know the specific principles of sex magic, but whether it was an aphrodisiac or something else, it all operated on the premise of increasing sexual desire by providing some form of stimulation to the human body.
"How is it? Is your lower abdomen throbbing? Is your womb trembling because you want to have virgin sex right this second?"
"I... I am still a virgin...!"
"Oh, really? I thought you weren't a virgin anymore since we've been having anal sex."
"I haven't done it in the front yet! At least, not as far as I know!"
"But your womb is trembling, isn't it?"
"Urgh...!"
Serica was aroused.
She was aroused by anger, and she was also slightly aroused sexually.
"Your nipples are hard."
"......."
In other words, to put it bluntly, Serica was currently overflowing with estrogen.
Think I'm wrong?
Then I'm wrong.
Who cares if it's endorphins, estrogen, or serotonin?
All of it can be summarized simply with one word: "pleasure."
"You're in heat, aren't you?"
"I am not in heat."
"Really? Then I guess we don't need to have anal sex right now?"
"It is quite troubling when you speak as if you're offering a piece of candy to a child."
"But you want it, don't you? My cock."
"I am not that desperate for a cock."
She wasn't desperate, that much was true.
Given that she only suggested getting a drink about once a week, Serica surprisingly didn't have as high a libido as others.
Once a week.
While it's hard to set a definitive average, she likely had the lowest sex drive in our entire knight order.
Take Zenith, for example—I have to go rape her at least twice a week at night. Yurdias craves anal sex, though she doesn't ask for it multiple times a day.
Even Astarotte, the Succubus Queen, had never lunged at me saying, "Young Lord, I can't hold back anymore," since her awakening.
Laura?
Laura was the exception.
Including Laura in an average of libido based on sexual frequency would be like including third-generation chaebol heirs in the average monthly salary of people in their twenties.
I could confidently say Serica's libido was below average.
At least, until now.
"Serica. Just say the word. Even if I don't take your virginity, I can still rub or suck your pussy."
"You really have no filter when speaking to a virgin."
"I've sucked your ass, you think I can't suck your pussy? It's the pussy of a female knight who's loyal to me. Of course I should suck it."
"Young Lord. It's just the two of us here; is there really a need for this image-making?"
"This isn't a statement for image-making, though? I'm disappointed, Serica."
"......"
Serica forced a smile while clutching the necklace.
Her eyes weren't smiling, though; it was clear she was slightly pissed off.
"...I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's wiener! Huaaaang!!"
"Oh, that."
Was wrong.
"Eeeek...!"
Before I could even tell her she was wrong, Serica yanked on the necklace as if she were trying to tear it off.
And with that...
Whirrr.
"!!"
Serica's body swayed violently.
Fortunately, she was sitting on the sofa, so she didn't fall, but her hips sank deep into the cushions.
"H-how...? I said it exactly as you did...?"
"I told you, you're wrong. Yurdias. Show her how a skilled trainer does it."
"M-me?"
Yurdias, who had been quietly sipping tea nearby, looked at Serica with a start.
"...I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's wiener. Huaaaang."
It was a dry, monotonous delivery, but Yurdias said the safe word so effortlessly that the necklace simply fell away.
"No, wait. Didn't I say the exact same thing?!"
"The end part was wrong. It's not 'Huaaaang.' It's 'Huaaa, ang.'"
"...Pardon?"
"Hua—aa—aa—ang. Got it?"
"...I've become a body that can't live without Lord Ruji's wiener. Huaaaang."
Click.
The necklace unlocked.
Serica's hands trembled as she looked at the necklace resting in her palm.
"See? It works, doesn't it? The members of the knight order can use this to take it off whenever they want."
"...Haa."
Serica slumped her head.
"Young Lord. What did you tell me this was when you first made it?"
"A GPS tracker."
"Yes. You said that if we ever got separated in the Infinite Labyrinth, we could find our comrades' locations through the unique signal emitted by this necklace."
"Yep."
"Then why did you include a function like this?"
"Because it's fun."
An ordinary necklace is just an ornament.
"This isn't just any necklace. It's a prototype for now, but once it's refined and made lightweight, it's something everyone working in Fermaton will wear."
This was the Ruji Fermaton style of dictatorship.
"As soon as we ensure a bit more stability, we'll move straight into mass production. And every single person, without exception, will wear one."
Within a month, at the latest.
Everyone working in Fermaton, everyone near Ruji Fermaton, would be wearing this necklace.
"And one day, years from now, everyone in the Fermaton County will wear this necklace. With just a snap of my fingers, that person will immediately 'Sexplode.'"
An explosion of sex hormones.
Just as even Serica was currently rubbing her thighs together, this magic that tampered with libido itself would surely solidify Ruji Fermaton's power.
"I'll distribute them to my knight order first. At least on the outside, it looks like a circular gem ring. Everyone will find it fascinating, won't they? Wondering how such a gemstone ring was fastened around a person's neck."
Unless they saw it being taken off, anyone would be puzzled.
"Well... that's just a joke. The real effect is what you saw. If you try to take it off, you go into forced heat. And I can set any number of conditions to trigger this sex magic."
Just as I could make someone's floodgates open with a snap of my fingers, the applications for sex magic and the Libido Bomb necklace were endless.
"I'll show you right after we eat. Normally, I would have had to restrain you, Yurdias, but since you and Serica were bringing alcohol, I had someone else do it."
"Someone else?"
"Yes."
There was one place where I could put this to use immediately.
"Where do you think Laura is right now?"
I pointed downward.
"Have you ever seen the underground dungeon of Fermaton Castle?"
* * *
Fermaton Castle had been hastily constructed after the Infinite Labyrinth was created.
But even if it was built in a hurry, it was designed to be a castle befitting a County.
And it didn't stop at its initial construction; it had undergone constant remodeling and expansion to reach its current scale.
It was now large enough to rival the castle of any Marquis.
However, as the Fermaton Count's castle grew larger, the space for the people living in Fermaton naturally decreased.
The castle walls couldn't be torn down recklessly because of the curse, and expanding the castle meant reducing the space within the inner walls.
So, Fermaton Castle dug deep into the earth.
Since there was a limit to how high they could build, they continued to expand the space underground, much like the Infinite Labyrinth.
As a result, the basement of Fermaton had taken on a form similar to a shelter.
Since the Lord of Fermaton would have nowhere to run if an accident occurred on the surface, a sturdy, bunker-like structure was built underground.
Among those structures, of course, was the "underground dungeon."
A place to imprison those who committed serious crimes in Fermaton.
Naturally, ordinary people weren't kept beneath the Count's castle.
Ordinary prisons were located beneath the barracks outside the outer walls; this underground dungeon held the murky desires of Fermaton.
It's no different from a sex room.
If the surface had sex rooms with beds.
The basement was equipped with all sorts of torture devices that made the restraints and training tools of a sex room look like child's play.
And here.
To facilitate the smooth activation of the underground dungeon and to verify the effects of the Libido Bomb necklace, I had requested the help of four people.
"You've arrived, Young Lord."
On the way down to the dungeon, Amy greeted me.
"Would you like to check the results?"
"I can tell without even looking."
From behind the firmly closed iron door deep within the dungeon, moans could be heard.
"Haa, haa. Please.... Cock, give me cock...."
It wasn't Laura's voice, but another woman's.
"Laura. It's me."
"Ah, Young Lord!"
Creeeeeak.
As the heavy iron door opened from the inside, Laura, dressed in a black bunny girl outfit and holding a heavy whip, came out to greet me.
And inside.
"Lady Zenith is completely in heat right now. Would you like to fuck her?"
With Libido Bomb necklaces fastened in five places—her neck, wrists, and ankles—Zenith, still in her dress, was a disheveled mess.
"What happened?"
"She tried to escape ten times and failed all ten. She ended up pissing herself and collapsing right where she stood."
"How unfortunate, Mother."
I approached Zenith, who was sobbing on the bed inside the iron bars of the cell.
"First, I'll take care of the one on top."
"A-ah, ahh...! Ruji, cock...!"
"...Are you looking for me, or are you looking for my cock?"
"Ruji's cock...!"
I had done my duty as a son.
The Fermaton underground dungeon.
No matter how brilliant a mage, or even a noble lady who had mastered sex magic, no one could escape once they were wearing the Libido Bomb necklaces.
