Chapter 68: Sex is Filial Piety (3)
After completing the engraving on Paladin Sonata.
I was faced with one major problem.
"As I thought, going in all covered up was the issue."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. I hid my identity too thoroughly. If we had just walked in and said, 'We are the Fermaton Knights,' no one would have dared touch us."
Despite possessing the power of Fermaton, I had failed to utilize it like a coward.
"I was so afraid of drawing attention that I missed the most important thing. The fact that the more attention you draw, the harder it is for random riffraff to cling to you."
While celebrities are certainly followed by crowds and paparazzi, on the flip side, crazy bastards who would try to openly rape them can't easily approach.
The same applied to the Infinite Labyrinth.
"Visibility is key. Visibility."
I pointed at Laura.
"I suppose I've kept you inside the castle too much. The people inside the castle know all about you, but others don't."
"Yes, well, the maids even know the size of my breasts and my pussy."
Laura’s nonchalance made me wonder for a moment if she was being sarcastic, but one look at her expression confirmed she wasn't.
"And everyone knows that I belong to the Young Lord!"
"Right. That’s a desirable attitude. But those outside still don't know you're my Knight Captain. In fact, they don't even know I'm actually running a knight order."
It wasn't exactly something to go around advertising, but it felt wrong for even the local thugs to be in the dark.
"I have to go through with what I originally planned. Laura. Even if it means showing that side of you to others, I need to let the people of this city know that my knight order is 'active' to some extent."
"Are you going to promote the fact that we went down to the 5th floor? I thought you settled on letting people think someone else handled it."
"That was then."
Since no one saw us destroy the Rampant Obelisk, we had slipped away quietly even though we were the ones who quelled the rampage.
"Serica is still shy, but as long as she stays out of sight when we're showing ourselves to others, it should be fine, right?"
"Then what about me and Yurdias?"
"...You'll have to be prepared."
I grabbed Laura by the shoulders.
"Exposure in front of an unspecified number of people is a given for now. If it comes down to it... we might even have to do that."
"Sex?"
"Yeah. Rough and violent sex. Of course, I'll try not to let others see it recklessly, but..."
"I'm fine with that."
Laura placed her hands over mine on her shoulders and nodded vigorously.
"If doing that allows us to conquer the Infinite Labyrinth and makes things easier for you, Young Lord, I'm willing to do anything."
"Thanks, Laura."
"Don't mention it. Oh, but I won't do that."
Laura shook her head with a firm expression.
"Like, you can't treat me like, 'Hehe, look at this,' to other men on purpose, or let other men touch my body!"
"Of course not. You are mine. No other man will ever lay a finger on you. Well..."
I scanned Laura's entire body in her bunny girl outfit.
"I can't help it if they get erections, though."
"Young Lord, does it turn you on when other men get hard looking at me?"
"It's not like that. It's not that I have that kind of fetish; it's just that you're so damn hot."
At the blunt remark, Laura scratched her cheek, averting her gaze.
"Why do you think I went straight into the Adventurer's Guild the moment I saw you? A newbie adventurer who got backstabbed by her party and stripped of everything as soon as she entered the 1st floor of the Infinite Labyrinth."
"Uh, um, because I was pretty...?"
"You were a beauty, and I wanted to recruit you because I wanted to fuck the hell out of you."
"So you're saying you picked me for my looks."
"For a person, looks are a talent. Especially for a beautiful woman like you."
"Hehe..."
One can never give too much praise.
It doesn't cost any mana, and if a simple word can increase Laura's affection for me, there's no reason to hold back.
"Laura. If you've made up your mind, we should act immediately."
"What are you planning to do?"
"I'm going to pull something even I haven't tried yet."
I had tried acting crazy once before I possessed Ruji, but I hadn't done it once since becoming him.
'Then again, who knows.'
Ruji might have done it somewhere I don't know about, but if that comes to light, I can just tell Laura it was lip service.
"Laura. Please know that I'm not doing this because I have a fetish or some dark desire to get satisfaction from showing you off to others."
"Of course. So, what should I do?"
"First, you have to wear this."
I pulled something out of my toy box for Laura.
A choker adorned with a black heart.
The choker had a ring for a chain, and I hooked a chain to it—the kind used for walking a pet.
"Let's go for a walk."
"......Um, do I have to crawl on all fours in front of people?"
Laura licked her lips, constantly conscious of my gaze.
"Uh, um, Master Ruji... no, Young Lord. Um, that's..."
She was hesitating.
It seemed like an 'NG play' that was hard to muster the courage for, but she looked secretly eager.
In that case.
"Laura."
If you want to go to the upper floor, you have to take it one step at a time.
"I'm not saying we're going for a walk in broad daylight. I'll set the stage, so you just have to make the decision."
"If I say no, we won't do it?"
"Of course."
Currently, this room was a sex room.
If Laura said no, there were plenty of other ways to increase her visibility.
Even if it wasn't sex, I could think of other methods, but the reason I was leaning toward such lewd options was...
'Because sex has never steered me wrong so far.'
Sex is the answer.
"...Then, Master."
Laura licked her lips and pointed to her face.
"C-Can I wear a mask...?"
"Deal."
* * *
A short while later.
"...Ruji. What did you say?"
"I want to go for a night walk, and I'd like the park to be empty."
"So you want me to cordone off the entire park?"
"Yes."
At my words, Zenith set down her teacup with a sour expression.
"Why on earth?"
"A night walk with my pet female?"
Clink.
When I tugged on Laura's leash, Zenith flinched and stepped back slightly from me.
"...You're going for a night walk right now with Miss Laura?"
"Yes. To be precise, I plan on having outdoor sex with Laura while breathing in the night air in the park."
"No, that's..."
"Going out just like that might lead to an awkward situation, so I'd like to ensure no one enters the park. Please cooperate."
"......."
As the Young Lord, I handled a fair share of the territory's affairs, but the authority to command and move the soldiers rested with Zenith.
"Is that a no? Mother?"
It would be difficult if Zenith refused.
If she said no... well, the most I could do was lead her naked through the hallways of the Lord's Castle at night.
"Why must you have sex outdoors...?"
"Just because it seems like it would be fun."
"Fun...?"
"It's a rehearsal. A rehearsal."
I gestured toward the window with my chin.
"It's practice for the day I build a garden that rivals the Imperial Gardens and have sex with my wife in the bushes under the moonlight."
"......!!"
I had remembered a scene where I put a leash on a female power-player character and took her out for sex at night, and I wanted to try it with Laura.
Actually, that had been a lewd illustration of Zenith.
'In reality, it's a strategy to increase visibility, though.'
If I take Laura out regularly, people will eventually start recognizing her and saying things like, "That's her."
—Isn't she just the Young Lord's fuck-toy?
—Shh...! Be careful. She claims to be the Young Lord's bitch, but she's a woman who's become strong enough to clear the 50th floor solo...!
—Why is a woman like that kneeling and sucking his cock in front of the Young Lord?
—Who knows. I guess she couldn't win against the Young Lord's dick.
Damn.
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
Starting with Laura, who possessed goddess-like beauty and (later) immense strength, countless women would follow me, unable to defeat my cock.
The more people knew about that, the more solidified my power would become.
"Mother. I don't often ask for favors like this, do I? Please cooperate obediently."
"That's..."
"If you want."
I approached Zenith and took her chin in my hand.
"I'll go for a naked walk with you later, Mother."
"......!!"
Zenith blushed and stepped back, but she only glared at me without offering any resistance.
"Mother."
I reached out toward Zenith with the hand that had just toyed with her chin.
"If you don't cooperate... you know what happens, right?"
* * *
And so.
Night.
A park shrouded in thick darkness.
A park controlled by soldiers, filled only with the faint light of white magic stones illuminating the surroundings.
Clink.
Only the sound of the iron chain I gripped echoed through the air.
The sound of heavy breathing from behind the mask also echoed, and I lightly scanned the surroundings.
'No one's here.'
Perhaps because it was late at night or early morning, there were no people.
It was the time when humans slept most deeply, and few would come to a restricted park anyway.
"Laura."
"......."
"Take off your coat."
Laura unbuttoned the coat that covered her entire body and lightly tossed it over her shoulder.
"......."
Twitch.
What need was there to say anything about the look in Laura's eyes as she watched me?
"Laura."
I gestured with my eyes toward the nearby bushes, then moved toward the secluded spot with this rabbit in heat.
"......I'm starting."
"Yes."
Laura nodded, her voice barely a whisper.
"Young Lord."
"Phew."
In the wide, open park.
From this moment on, I was going to devour Laura.
