The Incubus Hides His Kindness #8
The Incubus Hides His Kindness #8
Organizing the luggage in Rebecca's room finally wrapped up around evening. There were more odds and ends than I'd expected, so it took a fair chunk of time.
Still, even though I'd worked up a sweat, the labor was undeniably valuable.
I'd memorized the entire furniture layout, which would make sneaking into this room far easier from now on.
'When should I go? If I slip in tonight, will I get to see something? I'd like to aim for the perfect moment when she's just stepped out.'
I wanted to get even with Rebecca.
Last time, when I spotted her comforting herself alone in the suite, I hadn't pounced on her. That remained a searing, eternal regret for me even now.
But had she caught on to my insidious scheme?
Even though the night was growing late, Rebecca refused to be left alone.
She clung persistently to my side, chattering away.
"Luke. The luggage is all sorted, so what should we do now?"
"Something lewd? Or something fun and lewd?"
"N-not lewd stuff! Don't you have any fun stories...?"
"I can tell you some lewd stories."
"Th-that's not what I meant."
As the mood started drifting in a suggestive direction, Rebecca floundered and changed the subject. It seemed she genuinely wanted to just hang out with me innocently.
"Show me some magic. That new one you said you learned last time. The magic that raises water temperature, right?"
"Boiling? I already showed you plenty back at the church."
"W-well, magic is amazing no matter how many times you see it. You get to practice your magic, and I get a free magic show. It's a win-win, isn't it? Your promotion match is coming up soon anyway! The Silver Tier promotion match!"
Why was she suddenly worrying about my promotion match?
It struck me as odd, but I figured Rebecca's request was reasonable. It was true that I had to undergo the Silver Tier promotion match soon. I was currently delaying it by holding off on the quest report, but it was unavoidable in the end. I needed to polish my magic in preparation for that day.
'Did she eat something weird? Why is she being so logical all of a sudden?'
Caught off guard by her airtight logic, I ended up nodding. It was like Rebecca's intelligence had suddenly doubled. Normally, she was just a girl who could only stubbornly push her own way. To think she'd actually attempt to persuade me.
"Then let's go to my room. The practice basin is there."
"Let's go!"
As if she'd been waiting for it, Rebecca sprang to her feet and headed to my room.
I followed her inside and then pulled out the basin for magic practice.
The large basin I'd bought from Brown.
"It won't be very interesting. It's just boiling water, after all."
"I'll just watch quietly. Just watching you makes me fucking happy."
"Hmph."
Saying she was happy just watching me was a bit heart-fluttering.
But I couldn't figure out why it had sounded so soulless.
Watching Rebecca's awkward smile, I filled the basin with water.
I was dropping water droplets created by magic into the basin. Making water droplets was second nature by now, so I could fill the basin without much effort.
"Boiling."
The moment I plunged my arm into the water-filled basin.
"Oh, ooh, whoa!" Rebecca suddenly started exclaiming in awe.
Nothing had actually changed yet, but she wore a surprised expression.
The hell? Was she treating me like an idiot?
"Amaaazing."
"What's so amazing?"
"Ah, well, it just seems amazing. You're raising the water temperature just by dipping your arm in."
"Is that so?"
I tilted my head before focusing my attention back on the basin. Since she was giving me such a huge reaction, I couldn't just half-heartedly boil water.
Besides the Boiling spell, I showed her some other magic too.
Like manipulating water droplets to create simple tools. Or forming a mana sphere and rolling it around on the floor.
Every time I used magic, Rebecca reacted with fresh surprise.
"Amaaazing. My boyfriend's a genius, I feel fucking fantastic."
"R-right..."
"Hurry up and show me more magic."
It was embarrassing praise, but I didn't hate hearing it.
I'd been engrossed in casting magic for a while.
For some reason, Rebecca's voice was gradually dying down.
The intensity of her reaction each time I cast magic was steadily decreasing.
"Amaaazing."
"Amaz'n."
"Wow."
Had she gotten bored of watching magic?
The more her voice faded, the harder I tried to use flashier techniques. I levitated new water droplets to craft ornamental objects. I didn't just carve out the outlines of the droplets; I gradually brought the details to life too.
And finally, the moment I crafted a curved blade.
"Rebecca! Look at this! Doesn't it look like your curved blade?"
"Wow."
Such an incredibly half-hearted response!
I'd put in the effort to show off my skills, and her voice was completely lifeless.
The moment disappointment set in, I realized something was off. Rebecca's voice, which had been chattering away behind me, sounded quite distant. The moment I subtly turned my head to look back, I realized Rebecca was perched on the bed.
"Huh?"
No wonder the reaction was half-hearted.
Rebecca wasn't watching me. Instead of watching my magic, she was reading a book with her eyes wide open, completely engrossed.
Wetting her finger with spit as she flipped the pages at lightning speed.
A book with a nude illustration on the cover!
The old erotic picture book I'd hidden under the bed was now, at some point, in Rebecca's hands.
'What the fuck?'
Rebecca devoured the erotic picture book, not even noticing my gaze. The moment I saw that, the back of my head stung. I'd been played by her from the very start. Under the pretext of watching magic, Rebecca had planned to sneak a peek at my erotic picture book. No wonder her reactions seemed overly generous!
And how did she even know it was hidden under the bed?
I didn't even remember her glancing at the bed.
I didn't know how she'd discovered it, but I couldn't leave Rebecca like that. I wanted to discipline the bad habit of a girl who'd dare lie to her boyfriend just to sneak a read of an erotic picture book.
"Hey. What are you looking at?"
"I'm watching magic."
Rebecca, who was about to blatantly lie, ended up locking eyes with me.
"Uh-oh."
In that instant, she slammed the book shut so hard it made a sound.
Then she meekly placed the old erotic picture book on the bed.
"Why are you reading my erotic picture book?"
"I-I only looked a little bit, just a tiny bit."
She was playing innocent with her face flushed red. Perhaps intrigued by the explicit depictions of male-female intercourse in the erotic pictures, a blush colored Rebecca's cheeks. It was a book lewd enough that I used it as spank material, after all.
The stimulation must have gotten to Rebecca, who was seeing an erotic picture book for the first time.
I let out a sigh and approached her.
Then I settled down right next to her.
"Did you want to see the erotic picture book?"
"N-no, it just caught my eye..."
Rebecca hurriedly tried to make excuses while gauging my reaction. But I had no intention of listening to pathetic excuses. Rather, I wanted Rebecca to keep reading the book in this situation. Right where I could see her, that is.
"I-I absolutely wasn't trying to deceive you."
"I know."
"What?"
I gave her a smile and spoke.
"Why would you try to deceive me? I trust you, Rebecca."
"Ha, haha."
"You reading the erotic picture book is helpful to me, anyway. It'll make mana charging easier. The higher your sexual sensitivity rises, the more efficient the mana charging becomes."
"That's true."
"So, will you keep reading it next to me? This book."
I gently handed the erotic picture book back to her.
Rebecca, who accepted the book with both hands, stared at me with a flustered expression.
"You want me to read an erotic picture book next to you...?"
"Yeah. And this time, don't just read a little. You can read it all the way to the end. In exchange, just tell me your impressions about it. That's enough for me."
"How can I do something so embarrassing!"
In that instant, I looked at Rebecca with a slightly angry expression.
"Read it while I'm asking nicely."
"Eek! F-fine, I'll read it!"
Under my gaze, Rebecca frantically opened the book. Then she started reading slowly from the first page. It was a threat that normally wouldn't work on her at all, but surprisingly, it did now. It seemed Rebecca felt guilty about deceiving me. With her face thoroughly flushed, she stared at the illustration printed in the book.
"Ugh."
The very first page depicted a noblewoman in the doggy style position.
It was an erotic picture of a noblewoman in a dress, her skirt hiked up as she was taken from behind.
I placed a hand on Rebecca's bare shoulder and asked.
"How is it? Your impression of this picture?"
"I-I have to say it right now?"
"Of course. Anything's fine, so tell me."
"It's like animals mating. The fact that someone can make such a vulgar expression..."
Rebecca's voice was trembling.
I realized that her gaze was lingering on the noblewoman's pussy, where the male and female genitals were joined.
A noblewoman's pussy, vulgarly dripping with love juices.
Perhaps flustered by the explicit depiction, Rebecca subtly flipped to the next page. But turning the page didn't lower the intensity. This book was fundamentally a high-intensity item.
"Whoa."
The moment she saw the next page, Rebecca's eyes widened. Had she been unable to focus well on the pictures earlier because she was flipping the pages too fast? Rebecca's breathing had become even rougher than when she was sneaking a read.
The second page showed a young woman riding a man in the cowgirl position. But the illustration didn't feature one man, but five. It was a woman in an erotic picture being fondled in every erogenous zone.
Rebecca stammered as she stared at it.
"How is it? What feeling do you get looking at this picture?"
Rebecca couldn't string her words together.
I decided to give her a light penalty for breaking our promise. I removed the hand I'd placed on her shoulder and touched the knot tying her top together. Then, I began to loosen the knot by rolling my fingers.
Rebecca giggled as if my fingers tickled her.
"If you don't speak up quickly, I'll untie the knot. I'll strip your clothes off."
"Don't."
"You really want me to stop?"
At my question, Rebecca shook her head side to side.
"Actually, you can. I did commit a crime by sneaking a look at your precious spank material. Isn't this like some kind of strip game?"
"That's one way to see it. Now hurry up and tell me your impressions."
"Men and women tangled up together in a group is so obscene that... hik."
But my hand was a step faster than her mouth.
I succeeded in untying the knot the moment Rebecca's lips parted. Once the top was removed, Rebecca's breasts, covered only by a thin breast wrap, were exposed.
"Every time you stop talking, I'll take off a piece of clothing."
"Wow, that's so unfair."
Out of pride, Rebecca didn't try to put her loosened clothes back on. Instead, she started rapidly rattling off her impressions as she flipped through the pages.
The third picture showed a woman bound in ropes enjoying SM play.
"I-it looks suffocating... I think it would hurt to be tied up in rope."
The book continued onto the next pages after that. Rebecca worked her tongue diligently to voice her impressions, but there were inevitably moments when she was left speechless.
Each time that happened, I untied the strings connecting her top and loosened her breast wrap. Before we'd even flipped halfway through the book, Rebecca was already next to me with her pale, bare breasts exposed.
"Have you said all your impressions? It doesn't seem like it's over yet?"
"Ugh."
Rebecca hunched her body and looked back at the book.
As it happened, the book showed a scene of a woman's voluptuous breasts being caressed. The moment Rebecca started to speak, I placed my hand on her bare breasts just as depicted in the book.
Rebecca flinched slightly as her nipples were rubbed, but she didn't stop talking.
"The hand fondling the breasts is really lewd."
I tickled the areola of Rebecca's breast with my fingertip.
That alone made her nipples start to harden. Her body was already thoroughly heated, her breath carrying a hot warmth.
"Having my nipples touched... haah. It feels like it'd feel good."
