Unia's Cumming Dream
When it came to Unia, the girl from the witch's dream, I knew even her personal underwear preferences, but there were still quite a few things I didn't know about her. In game terms, this was the prologue to chapter 1 timeframe—right before she enrolled at the academy and before March passed. I didn't know the details of "What does Unia desire most?" Because Unia doesn't start revealing her true inner thoughts until chapter 2, when she develops feelings for the protagonist, after returning from the "first external training" that wraps up chapter 1.
First, her mission to avert the apocalypse. Second, her research into mana. Third, her affection toward the opposite sex. As the disciple of the Ash Witch and a 17-year-old student, Unia harbored these three major desires. If she started out with just a sense of mission, as she aged and advanced through the grades, her other desires grew stronger. As her understanding of mana deepened and she learned various mana theories, by her second year, Unia earned the qualifications to be called a grand mage and a witch.
Also, the deeper her relationship with the protagonist grew at the academy, the more her desire for romance intensified. Of course, she never forgot her sense of mission to prevent the apocalypse prophesied by her mentor, the Ash Witch.
At graduation—after thwarting the apocalypse and the Demon King's descent, at the ending point—Unia walks one of two paths. One is the path of the scholar researching mana. If you take another heroine's route instead of hers, Unia still holds onto her feelings for the protagonist but somewhat gives up and focuses on academia. The other is joining the protagonist's harem, wearing a wedding dress alongside "two or more" other heroines for a group photo—the path of the heroine many call a "saint."
So, I don't know much about Unia at this point in time. She was the one I encountered most often while playing the game, but I don't know the desires she held back when she was a "perfect stranger." Not to mention, for some reason, the protagonist hasn't shown his face at all, and now an enigmatic golden sun called "Red Sol Phoenix" has taken his place.
What desires does Unia harbor now?
First off, I figured one out.
"Hee hee hee, you shouldn't let your guard down just because graduation's over, you know? Right?"
Unia was laughing as she straddled me on top of the blanket I was lying under. The way she was spreading her legs excessively was clearly deliberate showmanship, and wearing just a shirt and skirt was for all sorts of appeals.
"Right, Phoenix?"
Her desire toward my existence.
At graduation, she just calls me Phoenix, huh.She wants me to drop the honorific suffix.
One desire identified.
"How's this? Being caught by me, who's reached grand mage level, and unable to move a muscle."
Desire to become a grand mage: check. Desire to subdue me with magic: check.
"Who would've thought."
Like this.
"That you'd bind me with binding magic, Miss Unia."
Right now, my hands were tied above my head, as if bound to the bed.
"......Miss Unia?"
Oh crap. Bad expression.
This was Unia's dream, a world that unfolded according to Unia's dream.
"So, you've got me tied up so I can't even move my hands, and you expect me to call you like usual?"
"...Hmph, if you call me just 'Unia' like normal, I'll think about it."
One more desire. Unia doesn't want me calling her with the honorific "Miss."
"...Unia."
So I called her name with all my sincerity.
"Won't you untie me? I could do all sorts of things with my hands too."
"...Hee hee, sorry, but not right now."
Unia yanked the blanket off me in one go.
"Wow."
My skin was still its tanned hue. She'd probably only seen me as the golden sun, and since she'd only glimpsed my actual skin down to the collarbone, this was likely a data shortage glitch even in the dream.
"Your body's still so good...."
But when she saw me in the inn's bathroom, she'd already accurately clocked my physique, and it was precise enough to manifest clearly in her dream.
"Hey, Phoenix. I've got something I'm curious about."
Unia shifted her body slightly forward on my thighs, placed her hand on my abdomen, and tickled me lightly.
"Mana's got infinite possibilities, right?"
"Yeah."
"Phoenix, you hold so many secrets, but you're revealing them to me one by one. Mana control, mana skin, all that."
Shhh. Mana flowed in from Unia's hand.
Resistance? Impossible. This was Unia's dream, after all.
If there was physical contact, I could vent the invading mana from my body, but not now.
"I had all sorts of curiosities... but honestly, more than the secrets you haven't told me, I was more curious about the questions I have myself."
Gotcha. What Unia was saying now was surely her current desire.
Not the apocalypse, right?
Sense of mission aside, thirst for knowledge. The kind of question she'd have at this point, studying at the academy.
A curiosity Unia had from the prologue era that even I didn't know well.
"I've wondered since I was little. My mentor said the theory's perfect, but don't think about doing it for real until I'm an adult—just keep it in your head."
"...What is it?"
"Hee hee, curious?"
Unia leaned down toward me, gently overlapping our bodies.
"What do you think it is?"
She cupped my face with both hands, grinning as she pressed her body against mine. It was a dream, but the sensation transferred perfectly. Because Unia wanted me to feel the touch of her body exactly as it was—and Unia's body (at 20 years old) was no joke in terms of pressure from all angles.
"Blerh."
Unia stuck out her tongue while gripping my face. She grabbed my jaw, forcing my mouth open.
Drool.
Saliva dripped from Unia's mouth, pooling at the tip of her tongue, about to fall toward me like stalactite water—
Slurp.
In that instant, Unia licked her lips with her tongue and swallowed her saliva again.
"You know? Human bodily fluids contain mana."
Ah. That's it.
"The ultimate reason women can mana drain men... is because mana permeates every part of the human body. Especially the highest concentration is in 'liquids.'"
Unia pressed down on my shoulders and sat up again.
"Blood too—most human bodily fluids contain mana. So, which one holds the most mana—?"
"Dunno."
I knew the answer, but—
"You know it."
"......!"
"No way you don't. Right?"
Unia slid the hand she'd placed on my stomach downward.
"Right? Say it. Come on."
"You want me to say it out loud?"
"Or should I say it myself?"
"If saying it embarrasses you, how about showing it with your body?"
I tossed out some bait lightly.
"Hmph, hmph.... Think I can't?"
This asked how well-versed Unia was in that area.
In the end, this was a wet dream. Wet dreams don't just resolve "sexual urges"—they're the realization of desires condensed in the human subconscious.
But even those desires need "data." If a man with no sexual experience has a wet dream. If he dreams of intercourse between man and woman.
Is the pleasure he feels then the real sensation of the act, or is it his brain substituting the pleasure from self-relief?
In this moment, how much did Unia know about such acts?
"Hee hee hee, I was curious anyway, so might as well confirm it for sure this time. The 'circulation' of mana."
"......!"
Not something lewd and sticky—her thirst for mana knowledge was firing strong.
"You know, I don't think mana drain is something only women can do. Right?"
Unia toyed with her lips with her fingers, then started stroking and fiddling across my stomach.
"Men have only been victims of mana drain so far because they just get drained. But if men learn how to drain too, couldn't they drain from each other?"
"Wouldn't it just flow to the stronger one in the end?"
"Exactly—so it's about balance. Like equivalent exchange in alchemy."
Squeeze.
Unia's touch was gradually nearing the deadline.
"If I give you 10 mana, you give me 10 mana back. Right?"
"How do you give mana?"
"Yeah.... Like a vampire sucking blood? Or like in novels, exchanging through kisses, infusing mana into saliva?"
Unia smiled slyly and snapped her fingers.
Her clothes shimmered and transformed into the outfit she most wanted to wear, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Hee hee, how's this?"
Desire—at the final step. Unia wanted to show me herself dressed like this.
And.
"You know, my mentor taught me one thing."
Unia, at graduation—meaning when she became an adult—had something she desired most.
"Where does this Cumming Dream come from... I'll confirm it with my own body starting now."
For reference, in the original Esdinas of the Blue Sky, Unia is the first to use the term "cumming," and her mentor, the Ash Witch, is the one who taught it to her.
"She said that someday, when I meet my fated one... just thinking of that person in my dreams."
She grinned.
"I'll have dreams of being ravished every night."
Unia reached out to me and grabbed my face.
"Got you."
