Chapter 228: Fermaton Water Bomb (4)
Chapter 228: Fermaton Water Bomb (4)
A few days later.
After narrowing down about forty swimsuit designs to ten final candidates, I met with Evelyn, the representative of the Magic Tower’s architect mages, to proceed with the new project.
"Hello, Count."
She had long hair, a shade somewhere between grey and pink.
Her impression was sharp, yet she possessed an underlying air of gentleness.
She was an architect mage who somehow resembled both Barbas and Astarotte.
"It’s been a while, 'Director.' How is the morale of the architect mages lately?"
"I’m keeping them well-managed. Ever since you allowed them to have sex with the succubi recently, they’ve started preferring sex with succubi over monetary rewards as a performance incentive."
"That’s men for you. Still, if the pay is too low, their hearts might change, so make sure to bill me properly to ensure they’re compensated fairly for their work."
"It will be quite a substantial amount, you know?"
"The Fermaton family has nothing if not an excess of money and magic stones."
"Understood."
In truth, she was Barbas.
She was the 'true body' of Barbas—the older sister of Astarotte, who usually acted the part of an old grandmother.
I found out by looking at the lewd illustrations.
On the surface, she appeared to be a cool, elderly mage.
In reality, however, she was a beautiful mage whose looks rivaled any other 3-star female character.
The lore was that the real Barbas had died, and this woman had taken over the Magic Tower by impersonating him through disguise.
Barbas assisted me in his own way, while Evelyn was likely attempting to make contact with me in her true form.
I wasn't sure why she had appeared before me as the team leader of the architect mages, but since she was utilizing her skills to the fullest, she was nothing but a help to me.
The surprising part was that she was a master of Earth magic, truly deserving of the title of head architect mage.
As long as her mana held out, she was a brilliant woman capable of easily handling the workload of ten ordinary architect mages.
This applied to the Fermaton Waterpark, the hotel being built next to it, the casino, and even the operation of the 'training ground where things are built and demolished until a satisfactory design and quality are achieved'—a place that might otherwise drive the architect mages to mental exhaustion.
Thanks to Evelyn stepping up as the director of the architect mages, I was moving one step closer to the development of the Neo Fermaton City Plan (tentative title).
It was all thanks to Evelyn Barbas.
"What is the current status of the waterpark and casino projects?"
"They are 70% complete. Once the curing process for the structures built so far is finished, we will immediately start on the next floors. The framework up to the top floor should be completed in about a week."
"Good. Very good. The reason I called you is that I want to mobilize the architect mages—the ones currently repeating the cycle of building and destroying in the Infinite Labyrinth—to create something else."
"What would you like us to build?"
"Flawless, perfect sculptures."
At my words, Evelyn’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Sculptures...?"
"Yes. I want to create several of them."
I spread out a map of Fermaton.
"I intend to demolish the original fountain and build a new one."
"A fountain...? Ah. Are you planning to build a fountain in the plaza using the Sirens you’ve secured in large numbers?"
"Exactly. And while I’m at it, I’m not just going to make a regular one. I want to make it more... Fermaton-esque."
I handed Evelyn a drawing.
"This is the draft."
"...This is a naked woman. And there’s something spraying out from the nipples..."
"That’s the fountain."
"Excuse me?"
Evelyn’s eyes began to tremble violently.
"Count. By 'fountain,' do you mean you want to create a sculpture shaped like a woman and have water spray out from her breasts? Am I understanding this correctly?"
"Correct."
"My goodness."
Evelyn gaped in horror, and I presented her with an even more detailed drawing.
"When we hold the Swimsuit Festival later, I plan to create mobile fountains. People won't feel unpleasant if they get hit by water spraying from a sculpture, right?"
"I think there might be people who find the very concept of water spraying from breasts unpleasant."
"It’s fine. Just tell them Ruji Fermaton conceived and executed it. Anyone that conservative wouldn't be able to survive in Fermaton as long as I am the Count anyway."
Those who are not sexually awakened will likely die of frustration within Fermaton.
The (sexually) weak cannot survive here.
Since I have chosen to walk the path of a Rape Dictatorship, those who fall behind on this path of tyranny should quietly leave for the neighboring territory of Sirjosia.
In this world, there is no Confucianism.
There is only sexual intercourse.
"What do you think? Can you do it?"
"Creating the human shape itself isn't a big problem, but..."
"Then it’s settled. Create pipes so the water can reach the breasts, and then I want two types of devices installed at the nipples. Ideally, I’d like them to be shaped like a succubus's tail. We'll attach the pipes above the buttocks."
"It’s getting terrifyingly specific, but what kind of devices are they?"
"One for a direct stream. One for a mist spray."
You know, like how water comes out of a kitchen sink.
"Golems will walk forward carrying something like a giant carriage, and water will spray from the female sculptures decorating the top."
"From the breasts."
"Yes. From the breasts."
The original plan was to have women with their legs spread wide performing a fantastic fountain show, but that was rejected on the grounds that it might feel too repulsive.
I did wonder if a breast milk show was any better, but everyone in Fermaton was already accustomed to breast milk.
Besides, it’s not spraying from a real human breast; it’s spraying from a sculpture made of stone or bronze, isn't it?
While some might find the concept of spraying water from a breast sculpture unpleasant, those who enjoy it will simply have fun while getting splashed.
"Of course, I’ve thought of a more wholesome direction as well. A water spirit holding a jar over her head, with water pouring out from it. People can collect water from there."
"Suddenly, the conversation has become remarkably wholesome."
"Naturally, the water spirit is nude."
"I knew it."
Evelyn’s eyes said it all. She looked at me with a complicated expression, as if asking if I absolutely had to connect everything to something sexual.
"Um... how about dressing her in a gown to give her a bit of a Spirit King vibe?"
"A gown?"
"Yes. Too much exposure might not look good. How about modeling her after a benevolent goddess providing drinking water, something like this?"
Evelyn snapped her fingers, and mana poured from her hand like mist, beginning to form a human shape.
"Something like this."
"...Oh."
Michelangelo was right here.
As if looking at goddesses from Greek mythology, the fabric represented by mana clung tightly to the body, which was subtly erotic in its own way.
"I’ll adopt this."
"Thank you. But Count, if you install such a fountain in only one place, wouldn't it feel a bit...?"
"No. I will install them in every district."
I spread out another map.
"Tampering with the underground water system inside Fermaton is no easy task. It’s already dilapidated, and replacing it is a massive chore. Before even talking about having enough time and budget, it’s so old that even spending the time and money is annoying."
"Is this... the casino area?"
"Yes. Not just the casino area, but I intend to create water pipes that encompass this entire region."
So that everyone can use clean water.
"...Someday in the distant future, the Fermaton Castle we are in now might transform into nothing more than a base for raiding the Infinite Labyrinth."
"You are drawing a very large picture, Count."
"Yes. Someday. Even if it’s not in my time, I simply want to create an environment where the Fermaton that follows me, my children’s children, can live comfortably."
At the very least, shouldn't I create a convenient environment where they can drink water from a purifier?
To these poor people of a medieval fantasy world who do not know modern convenience, I will aggressively spread and inject modern sensibilities, starting with sex.
Some might call it cultural violence, but I will not back down in the face of such external pressure.
Because that is what a dictatorship is.
"Understood. If that is your wish, Count, I will call upon those among the architect mages who are skilled in sculpting and have them made quickly... Wait a moment."
Evelyn was about to accept when her expression suddenly changed.
"What will you use... for the female bodies?"
"...Hehe."
I had been waiting for this.
"Naturally, these."
Clap.
I clapped my hands, and soon a crowd of people appeared from behind.
"That’s...!"
"Asti. How is the body?"
"Since this isn't my body, it’s perfectly fine."
Astarotte and the succubi.
They revealed themselves boldly in the nude, and the moment Evelyn saw Astarotte, her eyes shook more violently than ever before.
Because Astarotte’s body was not her own, but that of the Succubus Queen—Desmonica of Spawning.
"You just need to take molds of the succubi exactly as they are, minus the wings. And it’s not just succubi; there are more back here."
Click.
A large group of people appeared behind the succubi.
"You may use the bodies of the Sea Elves as well."
They were all wearing bikinis modeled after maid uniforms.
"Their bodies...?"
"Yes. The fountains that spray during the parade will be the bodies of succubi, but the well-like fountains placed in each district will be direct replicas of their bodies."
Statues of Sirens.
They are 'totems.'
"The Sirens will live underground. And from underground, they will spray water through their respective totems."
What kind of water will be sprayed?
That is a corporate secret.
