Chapter 111: The Mage Association
When I entered the room, Diana was still sitting quietly in her chair.
Well, I guess that was to be expected.
“Are you sure it’s okay that I just went ahead and said they could stay at your mansion?”
“It matters not. If they are satisfied with that, I welcome it. There are plenty of empty rooms, after all. In fact, had I known they would be satisfied with such a simple offer, I would have proposed it myself long ago. It was quite clever of you to think of it.”
Well… I just figured they were like what you’d call obsessive fans.
Claiming to respect Diana while trying to restrain her for their own selfish desires—the term ‘obsessive fans’ fit them perfectly.
For people like that, there could be nothing more blissful than getting to live in Diana’s mansion.
“Then let us be on our way. Vanessa, prepare the carriage.”
“Yes.”
With a nonchalant expression, Diana naturally dismissed Vanessa from the room as well.
“Should I just give you my spare clothes?”
“Then they would grow suspicious, would they not!”
No, I’m telling you, Vanessa probably knows everything already.
I guess there’s no other way.
I lifted Diana into my arms, carrying her bridal style.
This way, her back was completely hidden against my body.
“This should work, right?”
“Mm.”
Diana nodded shamelessly.
But when she acts this brazen, it just makes me want to tease her more.
“Hmm. Such a shameless attitude. What do you think would happen if I just let go while we’re descending the tower?”
“Wh-what are you saying?”
“Diana’s dress would be ripped right off, and Diana’s naked body would be exposed to countless eyes…”
“Y-You can’t be serious, can you? Did you not promise to carry me whenever I wished!” Diana exclaimed, her face filled with urgency.
Come to think of it, I did make a promise like that.
“But this isn’t a piggyback ride.”
“It’s the same thing, is it not!”
Seeing Diana go stiff as a board, I laughed inwardly.
Hoo. I’ve had my fun. I should probably stop teasing her now.
“I’m just kidding.”
“There are jokes one should and should not make!”
Diana kicked her legs, flailing and hitting my body a few times.
“If you keep thrashing around like that and your dress really does come off, don’t blame me.”
“Hmph!”
In the end, Diana had no choice but to remain quietly cradled in my arms.
This is nice. I have complete control of the situation.
Maybe I’ll tease her a little more…
“I-I will escort you to the entrance.”
But a voice interrupted my thoughts.
It was the hip-hopper, waiting respectfully in front of the elevator.
His attitude was polite for Diana’s sake, but the look he shot me was anything but friendly.
“Hey. Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t just whisk Diana away, you know. I did it for your sake. Now all you have to do is cover up the fact that I trespassed. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”
In truth, the only reason I hadn’t taken Diana away immediately was for my own desires, but I said it with a straight face.
“Hm? What are you talking about?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Just something between us. Right?”
“Grrrk. Yes…” the hip-hopper answered through gritted teeth.
We rode the elevator and descended the Mage Tower in an instant.
It was just a simple disc that went straight down, with no walls or partitions, so I could feel an incredible number of gazes on us from all over.
As expected of the popular Diana.
Perhaps sensing the stares, Diana shifted her body subtly.
Feeling the eyes on you is stimulating your exhibitionism, isn’t it?
“Lady Teluna? Are you uncomfortable?”
It seemed I wasn’t the only one who noticed Diana’s state; the hip-hopper also checked on her.
He seemed to think I was forcibly holding Diana like this, even giving me a look that screamed, ‘Let her go at once.’
“What do you mean! I am perfectly fine! In fact, I am quite comfortable right now! You need not concern yourself!”
But a flustered Diana’s response was cold and sharp.
“Ugh. Yes…”
The hip-hopper shrank back with a shocked expression.
At this rate, it looked like he wouldn’t be recovering anytime soon.
Even after we left the tower and got into the carriage, Diana remained in my arms.
She was sitting on my lap.
Vanessa shot us a slightly curious look, as if wondering why we were in this position, but she said nothing and let it go.
Anyway…
“You’re wet…”
“Wh-what do you mean?”
At my single comment, Diana once again grew restless.
Judging by her reaction, I was certain.
I slid one hand under Diana’s skirt.
“Heek… Wh-what are you doing?”
“Just wait a second.”
Ignoring Diana’s protest, I moved my hand toward her groin.
I lightly brushed my index finger over the underwear covering her mound. Just as I’d thought, the fabric was already soaked.
Didn’t she clean herself with magic just a little while ago?
“Hngh. Haah. Heet. St-stop…”
“…Hey. What is this?”
I pulled my hand out from her skirt and brought it before her eyes, pressing my thumb and index finger together before pulling them apart.
A string of sticky fluid stretched between my fingers before snapping.
“Th-that is merely a remnant from before…”
“Really?”
“Are you suggesting that I would lie! After seeing those men, you still do not seem to understand what kind of person I am! Where… Hyaang!”
As Diana tried to feign anger to get out of the situation, I once again thrust my hand into her skirt.
“Is this really from before?”
“O-Of, hngh, of course it is.”
“Hmm.”
She really is stubborn.
She’d rather die than admit to her kink.
What’s the big deal about having one little peculiar fetish?
It’s a bit perverted, sure, but if she’d just admit it, I’d be more than willing to play along properly.
“Alright, we’ll go with that.”
I gave up and pulled my hand out of her skirt.
Of course, my hand was still covered in her fluids.
Where should I wipe this?
“Hmph. Haa, haa. It is not a matter of ‘going with it,’ it is the truth! Augh!”
The moment I removed my hand, Diana’s spirit returned and she tried to argue back, so I shoved my fluid-covered fingers into her mouth.
“Hmph. Heup. Slurp.”
I moved my fingers around, teasing her tongue. Diana’s expression grew slightly hazy as her tongue began to tangle with my fingers.
She won’t kiss me, but she’ll react to this.
I played around inside her mouth for a little while longer, and soon we arrived at the mansion.
“Haah. Haah. How dare you play with my mouth. Do you have any idea how much this mouth of mine…”
“You were sucking my fingers just the same.”
“I was not sucking them! I was trying to push them out of my mouth!”
She’s lying. There’s no way that movement was her trying to push them out.
Besides, she was going to push them out with just her tongue, without using her free hands?
“Alright, alright. Let’s just go.”
“Go where?”
“Where do you think? My room. The night is just getting started, isn’t it?”
“Ugh.”
Diana pouted slightly but didn’t refuse.
No matter how much she denied it with her words, her body must have been completely heated up.
Right before meeting the leaders, she had come to her senses with pleasure and I had pulled out. Then I’d spent the whole ride here tormenting her.
Right now, Diana’s face was completely flushed, and she was continuously letting out sweet, breathy sighs.
To put it simply, she had the face of someone in heat.
“Y-You seem rather mischievous today, do you not?”
Maybe so. No, I definitely was.
I had been acting nonchalant, as if I didn’t care, but this was right after I’d confirmed just how popular Diana was. There was no way I wouldn’t be affected.
Was it my instinct, wanting to clearly brand Diana as mine?
Well, it’s not like we were in a special relationship where I could call her ‘mine,’ but we had been sleeping together constantly. I couldn’t help but think that way.
Especially since I wasn’t originally an inhabitant of this world.
I was aware that I was acting a bit more mischievous today out of jealousy, but I couldn’t just meekly confess to it.
As soon as we entered the room, I set Diana down on the floor and immediately stripped off her dress.
“You’re already wet enough. We don’t need any foreplay, right?”
“Wai-you, hngh!”
I pushed Diana’s panties to the side and thrust myself inside her.
“Why, why does it feel more… than usual!”
“I’m not even using any skills, but it feels much better than usual, doesn’t it? I bet it does. But what do you think will happen if I start using skills now?”
At my words, Diana’s body trembled.
“N-No. Any more than this and I’ll really… Hyaaaaang! You must not use any skills today!”
Diana’s words were quite contradictory.
Weren’t we sleeping together for the sake of her skill research? What was I supposed to do if she forbade me from using any skills at all?
Of course, from my perspective, this was a pretty good development.
No, I was actually happy. The fact that she told me not to use skills but didn’t refuse to sleep with me meant that Diana had no aversion to sleeping with me, even if it wasn’t for skill research.
Of course, it could be for leveling up, or maybe she was just in a state where she couldn’t refuse because I had teased her so relentlessly.
Whatever the reason, I decided to make the most of this opportunity.
An opportunity like this wouldn’t come often.
I had to thoroughly imprint upon her just how good it felt to sleep with me, even without skills.
All based on the power of my heightened Charm.
In the end, for the first time, I didn’t use a single skill while sleeping with Diana that night.
Of course, we continued to have sex until Diana passed out, exhausted from the overwhelming pleasure.
The next morning, I woke up in the best mood I’d been in for a long time.
Last night was truly the best.
Diana had thrown all thoughts of skill research to the wind and simply craved my body, and I responded in kind as we tangled together fiercely.
It might have just been my own thoughts, but I felt like Diana and I had truly connected on a deeper level.
With a contented heart, I stroked the hair of Diana, who was sleeping on top of me.
“Umm…”
Soon, Diana’s eyes fluttered open. She stared at me blankly, still half-asleep.
Then, suddenly, her eyes shot wide open, and she lunged at me as if to grab me by the collar.
“You, hmph! Wh-what is the meaning of this?!”
Her body twitched as my Dick, still inside her, moved, but her expression made it clear that wasn’t the issue as she glared at me and shouted with incredible intensity.
“Wh-what is it?”
“I thought you looked strangely handsome, and last night it felt abnormally good even without skills. What in the world happened?”
“‘Strangely handsome’? So I didn’t look good before?”
“N-No. You were always quite my type… that is not what we are discussing right now! Did you sleep with another woman?! Did your level skyrocket after sleeping with some high-level woman without my knowledge?!”
I tried to brush it off, but it didn’t work.
No, worse, she was starting to get some seriously wrong ideas.
“N-No way. It’s not like that. Of course not.”
“Then what is it?!”
I guess I have to tell her the truth.
Until now, I hadn’t really cared if people knew about my special Saint job or its unique skills.
This world was just that kind of place, after all.
There were plenty of people from other worlds, so it wasn’t anything special here.
In fact, for the sake of leveling up quickly, I probably should have been publicizing the fact that I had the Saint job to attract attention.
But after hearing from Sara a while back that no one knew their detailed stats, I had kept my game-system-related abilities—like detailed stats and the map, which I probably had all to myself—a secret.
There was no telling what kind of trouble would arise if things like that became known.
But well… I guess it wouldn’t matter if I told Diana.
“This is a secret I haven’t told anyone in this world. Can you promise to keep it to yourself?”
“Hmph. Do not worry. My lips are sealed.”
Well, as long as she promises, I’m not too worried.
“The truth is, in my world, we can see not only our level and job level, but also our detailed stats as numerical values.”
“…What does that mean?”
“To put it simply, I can see things like Strength and Intelligence as numbers. Just like how you all see your level and job level as numbers. And every time I level up, I can increase those stats a little.”
“Wh-what?! Is that true!”
“Is it really that surprising?”
“Is that even a question! Then the reason you suddenly changed is…?”
“Yeah. I’d actually been saving up some of the points I could have allocated whenever I leveled up. I invested all of them into Charm at once, and that’s what happened.”
“I knew it! I always thought you were abnormally strong for your level! So that was your secret!”
Diana looked genuinely shocked.
“P-Perhaps… would it be possible for me as well?”
Diana’s eyes were filled with longing as she asked.
She looked like she would be devastated if I said it was impossible.
“Umm. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it’s probably impossible. It’s not an ability I can really explain.”
“Ugh. I see…”
Diana’s expression fell, her disappointment obvious.
Seeing her look like that made me want to do something for her.
“No, wait a minute. Maybe…”
Just in case, I opened my skill window and meticulously checked every single skill, even the ones I couldn’t learn yet due to my level.
And then I found one.
The name was slightly different from the ones in Great Earth’s old games, but the ability was similar.
But this… with conditions like these, can it even be activated in this world?
“What is it?”
Diana stared at me, her eyes sparkling.
Ugh. It’s a long shot, but seeing that look in her eyes, I can’t just not tell her.
“Actually, it seems there might be a way, but I don’t know if it’s possible. The conditions are… strange.”
“Wh-what do you mean? You are saying there is a way to raise my… detailed stats, or whatever they are called?”
“Yeah. But I don’t know if it’s possible or not.”
“But there is a clue, is there not! What are the conditions! If I set my mind to it, there is nothing that is impossible…”
“First, I have to reach level 100. The tricky condition comes after that.”
“A h-hundred… I-In that case… but… ugh…”
Diana began muttering to herself, her face serious as she fell deep into thought.
“No… still… there is plenty of time…”
Then, as if she had made a decision, she lifted her head and looked me straight in the eye.
“Sh-shall we go one more time?”
Blushing, Diana awkwardly began to rotate her hips, stimulating me.
It was clumsy, but for that very reason, it was the perfect seduction.
She had done this a few times when she was completely lost in her exhibitionist play, but this was the first time Diana had ever taken the lead while she was in her right mind.
First sleeping with her without skills, and now this. It felt like a series of firsts.
At Diana’s seduction, I didn’t need to be told twice. I grabbed her hips and began to thrust powerfully.
