"Make you happy? W-what on earth am I supposed to do?"
"Well, yeah, just telling you to make me happy out of the blue is pretty vague, isn't it?"
'Plus, if I make her do it in her current state, she'll probably just follow orders because of the hypnosis...'
Kalt spread his hand again, releasing the hypnosis that had compelled Aria to act as he'd commanded, then continued.
"Aria, I'm a man too, you know. I really like naughty stuff. That clear things up?"
"...!"
The meaning behind Kalt's words to make him happy.
Aria grasped the direction it was heading.
"N-no way!"
"Yeah, probably exactly what you're thinking right now."
Aria couldn't believe it.
Kalt, of all people, making such a demand.
In her mind, Kalt was practically a saintly figure.
Kindly guiding them, solving their problems, setting an example as a hero party, and helping them grow.
For such a Kalt to reveal his lust like this—it was as shocking as seeing a devout priest witness the pope she revered heading into a brothel.
"Th-that can't be. Kalt... Kalt making a demand like this? It's i-impossible."
"Impossible? I'm a man too, you know. Isn't it natural to feel desire for a pretty girl? Honestly... during that special training, I had to hold back so hard every time I saw your privates."
"...!"
Aria had secretly been thrilled during that special training where she exposed her intimate areas.
Thrilled that Kalt found her attractive.
That he liked seeing her body as a man, that he called it beautiful.
She'd been happy just knowing he liked her vaguely, but now she had to face the cold fact that it stemmed from his male lust.
No feelings of disappointment, betrayal, or disgust arose.
Part of it was her own affection for Kalt.
He'd done so much for the Nellis party.
But the biggest reason was...
'Kalt ended up like this... because of the betrayal by the Mabel party.'
Something he'd mentioned and emphasized multiple times.
Even after he'd fixed their mental issues.
Even without knowing it was his power, kicking him out and betraying him had left deep scars on Kalt.
That must be why the once good and righteous Kalt had become so twisted.
That's what Aria thought.
And to solidify that thought, she asked,
"Kalt... I have something I want to ask."
"What is it?"
"Why go through all this hassle?"
"Hassle?"
"With your hypnosis, you wouldn't need to do any of this... You could just hypnotize me and satisfy your urges. Or even from the start, hypnotize us without telling us... just erase the problems and turn us into obedient dolls who follow your every word. Why...?"
She couldn't gauge just how powerful Kalt's hypnosis was.
But Aria believed it could at least do what she'd described.
And in response to her question, Kalt answered.
"Because I hate that."
"You hate it?"
"Completely stripping away free will and controlling someone isn't my thing. I don't want to do that if I can avoid it. Besides, what would be the point of turning you into a doll that just obeys orders?"
It might sound like the words of someone with twisted tastes.
Deliberately leaving their consciousness intact and making them follow his desires of their own volition.
Watching and enjoying that process.
But Aria, having seen Kalt so far, saw it differently.
Hearing this made her even more convinced that the real Kalt was a good person at heart.
He wasn't just hypnotizing them however it suited him, turning them into doll-like believers unconditionally.
Because he valued individual will.
Even if twisted, he still respected human will.
That's why he treated them as people, not mere tools for his desires, Aria thought.
She already knew what Kalt's hypnosis was like.
Without it, she'd just revert to being a pathetic saintess candidate who couldn't perform due to trauma.
'If I have no choice anyway...'
She figured she had no option but to accept her situation, knowing Kalt's twisted pain and desires.
"I... understand, Kalt."
"Understand what?"
"That I have no choice but to give you what you want."
'If it can heal even a little of Kalt's twisted heart...'
"Hmm."
Meanwhile, Kalt was surprised by Aria's surprisingly docile reaction.
'I figured she'd get angry or yell something like 'How could you do this?!' at least. Well... maybe just the initial shock.'
Her emotions might not have settled in yet amid the stunning situation.
Once the conditioning started, her true feelings might catch up and lash out.
'For now, focus on conditioning Aria.'
Kalt decided to ignore needless worries and give in to the eager urges from his lower half.
Keeping his smile, Kalt said,
"Good that you understand your situation. So, think about it, Aria. What naughty method will you use to make me happy?"
"I don't know."
"Huh?"
"Honestly, I really have no idea about that stuff. I don't know how to please a man in a naughty way at all."
This was sincere.
She was prepared to do naughty things to heal Kalt's twisted heart.
But she had no clue what naughty things Kalt would like.
"Sh-should I strip? Or just have sex right away? Wait! If we just do it, I might get pregnant by mistake. Sh-should I go out and buy some slime?"
With only the most basic sexual knowledge, all that came to Aria's mind were showing her naked body and sex.
And no matter how ignorant, she knew sex could lead to pregnancy.
Seeing this, Kalt decided on the conditioning approach.
'She knows her place, so no need to force it. But she knows almost nothing about naughty stuff, huh.'
It was surprising, given how boldly she'd spread her folds to show more during the unassigned special training to get used to shame.
'Then I'll have to teach her acts step by step, implanting naughty knowledge along the way.'
The plan: stuff the saintess candidate Aria full of Kalt-flavored sexual knowledge, turning her into his personal lewd saintess candidate.
"No need to go out, Aria. You think I'd reveal this to you without any prep? I've got slime ready."
'And male contraceptives, of course.'
During his free time in the commercial city,
Kalt had first bought supplies for the conditioning.
"R-really?"
"Yeah, but... we won't do sex right away. Plenty of chances ahead anyway."
Finally able to start the conditioning.
That's why Kalt didn't want to rush into sex.
"I see..."
Aria felt relieved too, since everything was so sudden today and they weren't jumping straight to sex.
"So today... let's try with your hand."
He could touch her body next time, so for now, Kalt prioritized relieving his throbbing lower half.
"My hand?"
Kalt stood from the bed and promptly dropped his pants.
"Eep!"
Aria jolted first at Kalt suddenly stripping his pants.
'Wh-what is that!?'
Then shocked again at the sight of his member, now exposed along with his underwear.
'K-Kalt has something like that down there!'
Aria had grown up in the church since childhood, respected as a saintess candidate despite issues.
So she had basic sex ed, but never seen a real man's member.
Even so, she could tell Kalt's was huge.
Staring at it, her mind conjured an image of a very long, firm mushroom with a thick stem.
Seeing Aria's shocked reaction to his member made Kalt's lips curl up.
'Just the response I expected.'
He knew his was impressively large, and women's reactions like this always filled him with masculine pride and pleasure.
"Aria, grab my cock and stroke it. Let's start there."
"H-huh!? Cock?"
Kalt pointed at his member with a finger.
"Yeah, cock. Another word for the male organ. Come on, grab it and stroke."
"Gr-grab this and stroke...? C-can I even touch it?"
"Of course. Come on, do it, Aria. Or are you fine like this with the hypnosis released?"
"N-no! I'll do it..."
Aria tentatively reached out toward Kalt's cock.
Her gloved hand grasped his member.
'It-it's so hard. And warm too. Th-this is Kalt's male organ... his cock...'
Her first time holding a man's member.
Even through the glove, his girth pressed through.
"Good, now slowly and gently stroke it just like that, Aria."
"...Okay."
Aria's hand began to move slowly.
