Chapter 709: Daily Life
Perhaps she thought she’d be hit with Climax Restraint if she resisted again, or maybe she had simply crumbled under the intense pleasure, but after that, Sara showed no further resistance.
She followed my commands with the obedience of someone who had been perfectly trained, which, in turn, allowed me to enjoy myself in various ways.
I was able to enjoy myself, but… the problem with this kind of play is always the side effects that come after.
Staring at Sara, who was looking down at me from right in front of my face, I felt a cold sweat trickle down my back.
Just how long had she been like that?
No, something had felt a little off from the moment I woke up.
Usually, my morning routine was to first savor the warmth of my girls piled on top of me, give them a light hug, and open my eyes to a pleasant feeling of fulfillment that filled both body and soul.
But for some reason, I didn't feel the sensation of Sara lying on my chest today.
I could still feel the connection down below, so it didn't seem like she had gotten up and left on her own.
When I opened my eyes with that thought, I found Sara with her hands planted on either side of my head, staring intently down at my face with hazy eyes.
“Um… Sara?”
“Yes? Master Oppa.”
For several minutes, we just stared at each other like we were in a staring contest, saying nothing.
Unable to bear the heavy silence any longer, I broke the stillness and spoke, and only then did Sara open her mouth.
“If you’re going to call me Master Oppa, you should use honori—no, actually, you can speak casually. Yes. Of course. Absolutely. What kind of clueless bastard would dare expect to hear honorifics from the beautiful Sara-nim? Should I smack him one for you? Just give the word. I’ll just grab him and….”
“Pfft. Idiot. I’m not mad.”
As I gestured with my hands and feet, putting on every cute act I could muster, Sara’s expression finally softened, and she let out a small laugh.
“…Really?”
“Well, if you think about it, the cause of all this was me acting weird and making things difficult for you. And I was the one who said I’d do anything. It’s fine. Although… blocking me from even going to the bathroom was a little much. If you do that again, I’ll be really mad next time, okay?”
“O-Of course! You can count on me.”
“You’re so smooth. That’s one thing I can’t trust you on, Oppa. Hmm….”
Perhaps finding my frightened expression that funny, Sara’s face bloomed into a wide smile as she spoke in a lovely voice, then gently pressed her lips against mine.
We hadn’t been able to have a proper kiss last night because of the whole training-play thing.
Anyway, what a relief. A true relief.
I mean, yesterday, I got a little carried away and went too far.
Thinking about it calmly after a night’s sleep, making her wet herself was definitely too much.
Even if I had summoned a spirit beforehand to make sure there was no mess.
“…But you know.”
“Hm?”
“If you were going to forgive me this easily, why were you staring at me like that just now?”
“Th-That’s because… I was mad that I was just letting you off! So I was trying to look a little scary! Right! You were scared, weren’t you?”
When I voiced the question that popped into my head, Sara suddenly became visibly flustered.
Then she rattled off an excuse that anyone could tell she’d just made up on the spot.
“You’re lying. What is it? Tell me the truth.”
“Then… because you’re handsome?”
“Why are you saying it like a question?! You’re supposed to say things like that with confidence, even if you don’t mean it!”
Besides, judging by her tone, that wasn’t the real reason either; she just blurted out whatever came to mind!
“You’re so petty. Something like that doesn’t matter.”
“It does matter! My pride is on the line…!”
“We didn’t get to kiss properly last night, so I want to kiss you and go for another round until Vanessa gets here. Or should we continue our little chat?”
“On second thought, I guess it wasn’t that important after all.”
“Kyaa!”
And so, until Vanessa arrived, Sara and I explored each other’s bodies once more.
This time, our lips never parted for a moment as we lovingly and sweetly made love.
“Oh my, did you sleep well?”
“Ah, you’re here.”
As always, Vanessa came to announce that breakfast was ready. Taking that as our cue, we got ready and headed to the dining room.
Everyone else had already arrived and was waiting for us, just like usual.
However, Diana’s expression was somewhat awkward.
It was as if she was warily watching us.
No, to be precise, it looked like she was studying Sara’s expression.
“…Ahem. So. How was last night?”
After sneaking glances at Sara’s face, Diana frowned as if something was troubling her, let out a cute little cough, and then posed the question.
Hey. You don’t actually think that one little cough made your question sound natural, do you?
“…Are you still worried? I told you, that was just Sara playing a prank yesterday.”
It was possible that the “trained” Sara had just come up with a plausible excuse to protect my reputation.
It seemed Diana was entertaining such useless suspicions.
Well, I could understand her being cautious when thinking about the well-being of her own body.
“W-Worried? Who said I was worried! I was merely concerned for Sara-yang…!”
“It’s alright, Diana. You don’t have to worry. Master Oppa treated me very well last night.”
As Diana tried to deny my accusation, Sara smiled and defended me once again.
“See? See? I was so… Sara?”
Huh? Wait a minute. Didn’t her tone just sound a little strange?
I didn’t mishear that, did I?
“Oh my, I’m sorr—my bad. I misspoke.”
When I stared at Sara with a bewildered look, she replied without a hint of surprise, instead flashing a pointed, deep smile.
“Did you not just use honorifics in the most obvious way! And what is this ‘Master Oppa’! ‘Master Oppa’! Did you train her! Is Sara-yang broken now!”
Of course, seeing Sara act like that, it was only natural for Diana to cause a scene.
Diana scrambled backward in an instant, putting distance between us. She then cried out with a look of despair, as if she were projecting her own future onto Sara’s “trained” state.
“No! Hey! Sara! Stop joking around!”
“Diana, it’s really okay. I’m truly happy right now. And I’m sure you will be too, Diana….”
As I urgently tried to stop Sara, she cupped her own cheeks with both hands and spoke in a sweet voice, an ecstatic expression on her face.
“I-I will be what?! What are you trying to say?! S-Sara-yang…! That Sara-yang…!”
Seeing Sara speak in a tone that seemed to have little hearts attached to every word, Diana’s terror only seemed to grow.
“Hey! Why are you saying things like that with such a suspicious smile?”
Th-This girl! Come to think of it, she was staring at my face before I woke up, and when I asked why, she slyly changed the subject!
Don’t tell me she was planning her revenge even back then!?
“Master Oppa, why is Diana acting like that? Your training feels so good…. I’m sure it’s just because she hasn’t experienced it yet, right? It’s okay. Once Diana tries it, she’ll surely understand.”
“Hiiik! M-Monster! I-I have had quite enough, thank you!”
“Hey! Sara! If you want revenge, do it to me, not Diana! No! Just stop with the revenge! Revenge only begets more revenge! How are you going to handle it when you sleep with me later….”
“A-Are you saying you’re going to train Sara-yang even more?!”
“I’m telling you, she’s not trained!”
And so, Sara’s little revenge was a brilliant success.
Of course, it ended with the two of us getting an earful from Diana.
“Honestly, you two! To think you’d take advantage of my goodwill! I simply cannot believe it!”
After the misunderstanding was finally cleared up, Sara and I knelt side-by-side and listened to Diana’s lecture.
With her hands planted firmly on her hips, Diana was fuming, huffing and puffing in anger.
“That’s right! That’s right! Sara, you should reflect on….”
“You are the biggest problem here! What is this training play! Training play! How could you even imagine something so dreadful! I mean, if the two of you enjoy such things, I have no intention of stopping you, but do not even think for a moment of doing that to anyone else! Absolutely not! Is that understood?!”
No, Diana. You don’t have to scream ‘Especially me! I mean me! Me!’ with your entire body when you say ‘anyone else.’ I get it.
And just to be clear, reacting like that is counterproductive.
Seeing you like this just makes me want to tease you more.
Well, I wouldn’t try training play on Diana, though. She might like her exposure play, but I feel like she’d get genuinely angry if I tried that.
“Answer me!”
“Yes, Diana-noona.”
As I was lost in thought, gazing at Diana with a fond smile, she tapped my head with the side of her hand.
“Hmph. Honestly….”
Looking down at my smooth reply, Diana let out a deep sigh of relief before turning to Sara.
“Well then, Sara-yang. Is this sufficient?”
“Y-Yes?”
“Why do you look so surprised? I am talking about your revenge. Why do you think I deliberately made such a fuss and played along? Is this scolding sufficient for this man?”
No, Diana. That’s a bit of a stretch.
You were overreacting long before you heard Sara explain that she was just getting revenge for the training play.
Are you trying to pass it off as an act now that you’ve calmed down a little?
Well, I suppose the great Archmage has her dignity to maintain, so I don’t mind.
“Yes. It’s more than enough. Thank you for your help, Diana.”
Sara seemed to share my opinion on the matter, as she obediently played along with Diana’s words.
Well, she probably felt bad about what she’d just put Diana through, so it was only natural.
“Hmph. Then you may both rise. We are supposed to go to the dungeon today, and we are already running late.”
“You’re right, let’s eat quickly.”
Finally allowed to stand up, I quickly scooped Diana up and sat her down on my lap at the table.
Of course, Diana, who was suddenly lifted and placed on my lap, wore an expression of utter bewilderment.
“…Why are you holding me?”
Why? Because you’re cute.
I wanted to say that, but she’d probably get mad if I did, right?
“I want to eat with you on my lap.”
“…Do you have any awareness that you were just being scolded by me?”
“That’s that and this is this. I got scolded, yes, but that’s no reason for me to stop being affectionate with you, is it? Or do you dislike it? Should I stop?”
“Mmm… that is not the case.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Hugging Diana, who still looked unconvinced, I was finally able to start eating breakfast.
After that chaotic morning, we, who were already prepared, headed immediately for the dungeon.
The goal for this expedition was simple.
We had defeated the master of the 4th floor last time, so it was finally time to move on to the next sub-layer.
We had only discovered the passage from the Ice Cave to the 4.5th floor but had never actually gone inside.
Explore the 4.5th floor, and if possible, find the exit to the 5th floor.
That was our objective this time.
And as a bonus, it would be even better if we could raise our job levels on the 4.5th floor.
I was actually hoping that the 4.5th floor would have some kind of gimmick that made it good for grinding experience, just like the Ice Cave, where the monsters had high attack power but extremely low defense.
“Since we have to go through the Emperor Penguin’s room to get to the 4.5th floor anyway, I think it’s best to go via the 4th floor. What do you think, Diana? Is that okay?”
Before using the teleportation magic circle, we decided to make a plan.
To get to the Ice Cave, there were two routes: through the 3rd floor or through the 4th floor.
