Chapter 91: After-Party (2)
Chapter 91: After-Party (2)
Isn't it about time I caught the right mood to get laid?
The atmosphere of the banquet was ripening nicely, and the relationship between Zenith and the knights—which I’d been somewhat worried about—seemed to have smoothed over quite well.
Even the slave, Shiro, was acting sensibly on her own, making sure not to ruin the mood.
Just as the alcohol was starting to kick in...
"Well then..."
I subtly caressed the bottle, sending a signal that my cock was erect, but unfortunately, the true afterparty deviated slightly from my plans.
"Young Lord. I am sorry, but may I take my leave first today?"
"...Huh?"
Serica was the one to start.
"I am truly sorry. Next time, whether we drink together or do whatever else, I’ll be happy to oblige, but I must withdraw for today."
"Oh, uh, sure."
Serica left.
"Then..."
"Young Lord. I am also sorry, but I believe I need to discuss matters regarding the guild. I need to prepare for tomorrow morning."
"Already? Can't you enjoy yourself a bit more?"
"I want to enjoy myself more than anything, but I’ll hold back today. Or would you like to go for a quick round right now...?"
"No. If you have urgent business, I can't hold you back. It’s a shame, but let’s do it tomorrow."
Even Yurdias vacated her seat.
Her saying she had work to do for the guild clearly meant she was going to gather information as preliminary work for my movements tomorrow.
How could I stop her when she was taking the initiative to help me?
She knew the weight of her tasks well; if it were a situation where she could afford to have sex before leaving, Yurdias would have put on the handcuffs herself.
Regrettably, the two of them departed.
And as for those remaining...
"Ruji. I’m sorry, but may I take Astarotte with me for a moment?"
"Eh? What do you mean by that, Mother?"
"I’d like to have a discussion about magic between fellow mages."
"Ha..."
Magic?
She probably meant Sex Magic.
Specifically, magic related to pumping breast milk.
In that case...
"...Understood. I have a great interest in magic myself, but I suppose it can't be helped."
"Excuse me, Young Lord. Um, you were really cool today."
"Thanks, Astarotte."
The two mages also left the room.
Now, only three people remained.
"Amy."
"Yes, Young Lord."
"...As much as I want to take Shiro and fuck her right now, she has to undergo 'verification' tomorrow, so I can't have sex with her yet."
I wanted to take her virginity right this second.
However, for the sake of proving the quality of the goods Charlotte sold, I needed to leave her be.
"Give Shiro a separate room. From now on, that will be the room for the slaves who are loyal to me."
"I understand perfectly. I will manage her personally. But will you be alright without someone to attend to you through the night?"
"It's fine. Tonight is only for 'that business' anyway, so anyone will do. It’s a task where I don't need to use my head, just swing my hips."
"Understood. Shiro. It is the Master's command. Stand up and follow me."
"Ye-Yes!"
As expected, Amy was competent.
She immediately understood what I wanted to say and stood up to take Shiro away.
"Um, Young Lord...?"
"What is it?"
"I... I will give my full loyalty to the Young Lord...!"
"You should. I will judge your loyalty based on how well you carry out my orders. Shiro."
I raised my glass toward Shiro.
"Tomorrow morning, I will take your virginity in front of Charlotte. If you are a virgin, I will continue to employ you. If you are a non-virgin, I will not let it slide."
"Yes, yes...!"
"And naturally, even if you are a virgin right now, it won't do if you stop being one during the night, right?"
"...Yes!"
Fortunately, Shiro wasn't so dull that she couldn't understand my words.
"I’m counting on you, Amy."
"I will make sure you get your money's worth for that bonus."
"Reliable as always. That's my Amy. Is there anything you want?"
"Hmm..."
Amy fiddled with her maid uniform for a moment, glanced at Shiro, and then smiled at me.
"I will tell you that after it's determined whether Shiro is a virgin or not."
"Hoh?"
"Even for a slave, a person's utility value changes depending on their virginity, doesn't it?"
"That's true. Do you perhaps...?"
"Hehe."
Amy lightly adjusted her maid uniform.
I had a rough idea of what kind of plan she had in mind and gave her a firm nod.
"Have a good night, Young Lord."
"Yeah."
Creeak.
The door closed.
The cleanup of the banquet would be handled by the other maids anyway; now, I had to spend the night in earnest.
"Everyone's gone."
"......."
"Let's go to the Sex Room."
"...Yes."
Laura smiled brightly and handed me the leash fastened around her neck.
"You'll take me there, right?"
"Yeah. But I don't plan on just taking you there normally."
"Pe-Perhaps you're going to do it while moving...?"
"No. We're going like this."
I took Laura's hand.
I interlaced my fingers with hers, and Laura's face flushed at my sudden action.
"Yo-Young Lord...!"
"What?"
"Th-This is almost like..."
"Laura. You are my... Goddess of Victory."
Laura's expression froze for a moment.
I had hinted at it before, but this might have been the first time I expressed it so directly.
"Serving a goddess is only natural for one living on this land. But I will show you in my own way. My love for the goddess."
"...How?"
"Like this."
I placed my hand on Laura's lower abdomen and kissed her cheek.
"I'll fill you up as much as I love you."
"......Ah, what should I do? What if your love is so big that it overflows?"
"If it overflows, it overflows. That's fine too."
I met the eyes of Laura, who was wearing a faint smile.
"There's no way overflowing love could be a problem, right?"
* * *
The two women who had asked Ruji Fermaton for permission to leave, Serica and Yurdias, met up midway and moved to a secluded, deserted spot.
Creeak.
The two entered a secret residence, the quietest place within Yurdias's Thief Guild, and looked at each other with serious faces.
"What was that?"
"I don't know either. It's the first time I've seen such a case."
Serica pointed above her head.
"It's the first time I've seen a name floating above something's head like that."
"Not even once while conquering up to the 50th floor?"
"Never. I can swear to that. It's a first for me too."
Virgin Scam Benia.
When that text first appeared, Serica and Yurdias both wondered if something had gone wrong with their heads.
"It's the first time I've seen a monster that should appear on the 20th floor show up like that, but for it to appear with such a strange name... I've never heard of such a thing."
"But it actually happened. The possibility is..."
"It's the Young Lord, after all."
Ruji Fermaton.
Because his consciousness dwelt within the Living Armor.
Because his essence dwelt within the Living Armor.
...And because a magic circle based on his semen was painted inside the Living Armor.
Perhaps the Infinite Labyrinth sensed Ruji Fermaton's faint energy and triggered some special phenomenon.
"What are you going to do from now on? Such a monster appeared at only the 10th floor. If we go further down, even worse monsters might appear."
"...But surprisingly, it might be possible."
Serica's voice grew deeper.
"You, tell me honestly. What's your impression?"
"Of Virgin Scam Benia?"
"No. ...Of those two."
Yurdias closed her eyes for a moment.
"...Honestly, I think it's absurd. It's not in the realm of talent. I can't speak to the fine details, but both of them could be called adventurers superior to even veterans."
"Right. I thought so too."
Young Lord Ruji Fermaton.
Captain Laura.
The two of them knew the Infinite Labyrinth uncannily well.
To be precise, they didn't make a single mistake that 'newbies' would typically make in the Infinite Labyrinth.
Talent?
Or perhaps thorough preparation?
I didn't know.
But wasn't it strange that there wasn't a single 'mistake every beginner makes'?
That feeling became even clearer through the newly acquired slave, Shiro.
"What do you think of them both?"
"Lord Ruji can simply be said to be thoroughly prepared. He seems like a bit of a klutz unknowingly, but at least regarding safety within the Infinite Labyrinth, he shows an intuition far superior to mine."
"A bit of a klutz...?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No. I thought so too."
He himself doesn't realize it.
He's thorough when he tries to be, but he shows a surprisingly clumsy side regarding other things.
"But that could be acting, or if not, it could be because he considers those parts unimportant."
"He's a person with considerable unconscious control. He never mentions things he thinks should never be said, even when drunk, but he frequently leaks information he thinks 'doesn't matter if I say it,' whether openly or unknowingly."
"...And he pours it all out to Captain Laura without reservation. I don't know where that confidence comes from."
"His confidence comes from this."
Yurdias pointed her finger downward, and Serica closed her eyes for a moment before nodding heavily.
"...He certainly has reason to be confident."
"Since we're on the subject, how long do you plan on continuing to be secretly fucked?"
"Wh-What...!"
Serica's face turned red as she clutched her body.
"I-I've never..."
"If your name appeared in the Infinite Labyrinth like that, this is what you'd be called: Virgin Scam Serica. No. Sleep-Play-Consenting Serica. Sword's Non-Virgin."
"......Yurdias."
Serica fidgeted with her fingers, glancing at her.
"I don't know about you... but, well, how should I put it."
"What?"
"...Well, I didn't know I was this kind of person either."
Serica blushed.
"...Since I'm being carefully raped while pretending to sleep, now I feel like it might actually be okay to be violated while I'm really asleep..."
"...I'm the same."
Yurdias pulled her pants down slightly below her thighs.
"I'm currently being developed according to the Young Lord's tastes."
"A chastity belt..."
"The Young Lord is a terrifying person. And..."
Yurdias gulped as she fiddled with the chastity belt.
"...Captain Laura is also a terrifying person. If they're having 1-on-1 sex right now..."
Yurdias continued with a shudder.
"...She's probably pretending to be embarrassed while sucking him off and having sex, with the Young Lord's face buried in her breasts."
