Chapter 94: After-Party (5)
Chapter 94: After-Party (5)
Dawn.
In the Fermaton Castle, the lights in Countess Zenith’s room continued to shine brightly deep into the night.
"This is the principle behind it."
Astarotte, her face etched with fatigue, handed over a parchment covered in magical formulas.
Zenith accepted the formulas with a stoic expression, but her brow furrowed as she scanned the script.
"Sex Magic... Honestly, this is a bit difficult."
"It’s a completely different field from the offensive magic you’ve mastered, Countess. I only learned it out of necessity because of my curse; if I had been told to study it normally, I wouldn't have even touched it."
Astarotte gave a bitter smile and rubbed her arm.
"Furthermore, Sex Magic this niche is even harder to master."
"But I must learn it."
"Is it truly necessary to go this far?"
"Everything is for the sake of Fermaton."
With a determined look, Zenith pressed a magic stone that stored recorded images.
"Look. Look at Ruji as he conquers the Infinite Labyrinth."
The image stored in the magic stone vividly captured the scene from earlier that day.
Ruji had Astarotte sitting in front of him, and while he suckled at Zenith’s breast beside him, his eyes were fixed intently on the vision shared by the Living Armor.
"Ruji is serious about conquering the Infinite Labyrinth. As his stepmother and the Countess of Fermaton, I must fulfill my duty. Therefore..."
Zenith picked up a cup of warmed hot milk.
"By engaging in indirect sexual acts, I can send clearer magical signals. At the same time, I can quench Ruji’s thirst when he is parched. This is the best I can do right now."
"......."
Astarotte lowered her gaze.
Zenith’s nipples were slightly erect, but Astarotte feigned ignorance and swallowed her own hot milk.
"I’ll show you one more time. Drinking the hot milk is merely to help the caster’s mental focus; in reality, you are extracting magic power in the form of milk."
Shhhhh.
A pale pink light began to glow from the Yin Gate on Astarotte’s lower abdomen.
Zenith felt a pang of guilt seeing a woman suffering from the Succubus Transformation Curse use Sex Magic, but Astarotte did her best in her role as a teacher.
"...Haa."
With a faint sigh, Astarotte gripped her breasts firmly with both hands.
She grimaced as if the task were difficult, but soon her fair body began to flush a deep red, and a white liquid began to seep from her nipples.
"I’m only squeezing lightly now, but once you become proficient, you can do it like this."
Using magic, Astarotte lifted a glass bottle and positioned it against her other breast.
Pshhhhhhh!
The moment Astarotte pressed down, white milk began to fill the bottle.
Zenith gulped as she watched the white liquid. Astarotte only stopped the milking once the bottle—roughly the length of her hand—was half full.
"...Whew."
"I feel a bit bad. Making you go through such effort to squeeze it out."
"It’s only hard because I’m doing it alone. It’s much easier with someone else’s help. This magic is tied to sexual excitement, after all."
Astarotte gave a bashful smile.
"The amount produced through Lactation Magic is, of course, proportional to the level of sexual excitement. Since I’m doing this myself without even resorting to masturbation, this is all I can get."
"If... if you had a man’s help, then just how much...?"
"I could fill this bottle easily."
Slosh, slosh.
Astarotte shook the glass bottle.
"Of course, you mustn't forget to stay hydrated. You’re simply refining the milk you drank into mana and expressing it as breast milk. Using Sex Magic just allows you to infuse that breast milk with mana."
"......."
"If the storage in the mammary glands is substantial, you wouldn't just fill a small bottle like this; you could have him drink breast milk all day long."
"I-I see. That is certainly impressive."
Zenith blushed and stole a glance at Astarotte.
"Um... could you help me?"
"Pardon?"
"I’m not skilled enough to show this to Ruji directly yet. I want to practice more. Until I can produce enough to satisfy him."
Zenith pointed to her own breasts.
They were only slightly damp; she hadn't been able to extract a large amount like Astarotte. It wasn't even enough for a single gulp.
"I will compensate you generously."
"The compensation is fine. Instead..."
"Instead?"
"As a member and representative of the Magic Tower, I’d like to have a serious discussion."
Zenith straightened her posture.
The woman who had been agonizing over Lactation Magic just moments ago vanished instantly. Her expression shifted into that of a true Countess, one well-versed in the complexities of politics.
"Go ahead."
"As you’ve seen, Countess, the way Lord Ruji is conquering the Infinite Labyrinth is markedly different from conventional methods."
Astarotte pointed a finger above her head.
"For instance, this is the first time 'names' have appeared above heads like this. It might have happened before, but this is the first time it’s been observed. Lord Ruji brushed it off as nothing, but this is definitely a matter that requires attention."
"And?"
"I want information control to be established. The Magic Tower will investigate, and only the Tower Master and I will discuss this privately."
It is common for monsters to ambush adventurers and rape them with tentacles.
It is common for monsters to absorb adventurers and take on human forms.
It is common for slaves to betray their masters and flee into the Infinite Labyrinth.
However.
It was unprecedented for a name to appear above a monster’s head like a 'mark.'
"A monster with a name above its head. And the 10th-floor boss, no less. There’s a possibility this will continue, and even stronger enemies might appear."
"In response to Ruji’s Living Armor?"
"The Infinite Labyrinth is a place where anything can happen."
A place of constant change.
Whatever you imagine, something beyond it will occur.
"No Fermaton in history has ever attempted to conquer the labyrinth this way. Not a single one. That’s why these changes are happening for the first time."
"Because no one ever intervened directly with Living Armor or anything else."
"Exactly. Right now, people might think, 'It doesn't matter if Lord Ruji sends a Living Golem,' but they might react sensitively to changes in the Infinite Labyrinth later. It’s fine for now, but..."
"The Empire hates variables."
Zenith frowned, her face showing clear distaste.
"...I’m already trying my best to control the information flowing to the Empire. It’ll be a headache if they find out for no reason. Fortunately, only the Head Maid and the exclusive maids know for now, so I can still keep it under control."
"Yes. In that sense, we might need to be even more proactive than we are now."
"Proactive?"
"Yes. Something that suits Lord Ruji. While maintaining his persona as a 'sex-crazed playboy,' I want to find out everything we can. Everything."
"...Wait."
Zenith pressed her hand to her forehead.
"......What do you mean, 'persona'?"
"It’s an act, isn't it?"
"Miss Astarotte... you’ll understand once you’ve had sex with Ruji."
Zenith fell silent for a moment.
"Ruji isn't acting. The one putting on an act is 'that woman.'"
"That woman?"
"Captain Laura. That sly fox."
Astarotte fell silent at the mention of Laura’s name.
"What is it?"
"I’m not saying this just because I’m Laura’s Sex Magic teacher, but..."
Astarotte continued with a complicated expression.
"Her talent for Sex Magic is beyond imagination. Even more so... than me, who suffers from the Succubus curse."
"Wh-what...!"
Zenith hurriedly reached out.
"Don't you dare teach Captain Laura Lactation Magic. Understood? This is our secret...!"
"......."
"I’ll cooperate with the Magic Tower and the information control, so you must keep this a secret, okay?"
Astarotte nodded gravely.
* * *
A new morning.
I welcomed a morning that was the same as always, yet a little special.
Soft breathing.
The fact that a naked Laura was sleeping beside me remained unchanged.
However, unlike the first time she slept next to me, she was now clinging to me without any hesitation.
'Is she really a goddess?'
Is she truly the god of this world?
Maybe "God" is just a title, and she’s just as strong as one?
No matter how much I think about it, Laura is just a pervert.
Even if I was the one who turned her into a lustful siren, even if I made her walk around in a bunny girl outfit because she loves sex so much...
Laura’s love for sex goes beyond my preferences; it’s her own nature.
'Maybe I awakened the Lewd Goddess.'
By piercing the Virgin Goddess’s hymen, I might have awakened the obscenity that was her hidden true nature.
If Laura had become a normal adventurer without ever having sex, she would probably be a righteous and energetic protagonist character by now.
But she was claimed by me right at the start.
In dating sims, there’s often a setting where a virgin character turns out to be a 'natural at sex.' I basically unlocked that setting from the get-go.
Do I hate it?
'I love it.'
What’s there to hate?
Whether she’s lewd or not, she’s a woman who only has eyes for me.
Someone once said there’s a world of difference between being lewd and being promiscuous.
A woman who only craves me is lewd, while a woman who enjoys sex with any man is promiscuous.
In that sense, Laura is erotic and lewd, but she’s the best because she is only for me.
"Laura. Are you awake?"
"...Are you up?"
"Yeah."
Laura slightly opened one eye and met my gaze.
She might have been awake before me, but the moment she realized I was staring at her, she had pretended to sleep and held her breath.
"I was thinking. I’d like to try being woken up by morning sex for once."
"Morning... sex?"
"Yeah. Not a morning kiss, but morning sex."
I pointed downward.
Since I wasn't wearing a blanket, my cock was naturally standing tall toward the ceiling.
"I wake up, and the first thing I feel is the sensation of a pussy tightening around my cock."
"Is a morning blowjob not enough?"
"Morning blowjobs are okay, but I usually get those while I’m eating breakfast."
"Why?"
"Sex in the morning is great, but this way we can kiss while we do it."
"......Honestly."
I leaned down toward Laura, and she slowly closed her eyes and met my lips.
Mwah.
A light bird kiss.
It was a gentle kiss without tongues, just lips touching, and both Laura and I smiled with our eyes.
"Maybe it’s because Laura is a goddess, but kissing right after waking up doesn't feel strange at all."
"I feel the same way."
"I’m not a god, though?"
"Well, it’s just the feeling."
Laura slowly sat up and turned her body toward my cock.
"I’ll give you a blowjob."
"Then want to do 69?"
"...Pardon?"
"While you suck my cock from above, I’ll eat your pussy."
"...Oh, th-that’s..."
Laura’s eyes began to waver significantly.
I think I’m starting to understand her now. That look means she wants it, but something is bothering her.
"What is it?"
"...Could we do it after I shower? I... I fell asleep right after the creampie last night..."
"Well, can't be helped then."
I wrapped my arm around Laura’s waist and stood up.
"Let’s wash together. If we get horny while washing, we can have sex then. I have to go out today, so we can't spend too long on it."
"Things to do.... Ah, that thing."
"Yeah."
Today.
"I have to go settle the score for that trade scam."
I’m going to give a fraudster a proper lesson.
