The Secret of Moonlight Dewgrass, Chloe's Whisper (1)
The path back to the academy after leaving the forest. Unlike her usual bright and lively self, Chloe looked somehow anxious. She glanced at Tusma nervously before speaking with great care.
“Um… Mister Tusma. Thank you so much for earlier. If it hadn’t been for you… I would have been in serious trouble.”
Her voice carried genuine gratitude, but Tusma didn’t believe a word of it.
Oh really? After using me as bait to gather herbs, now she’s pretending she didn’t?
That was what he thought inwardly, but on the surface he answered with feigned ignorance.
“Not at all, Lady Nightshade. I’m simply relieved you’re safe. From now on, I’ll accompany you and protect you whenever you go out.”
“…!!”
Chloe’s face flushed bright red at his words, and she nodded vigorously.
“Th-thank you. Actually… that ‘Moonlight Dewgrass’ is an herb absolutely necessary for treating my mother’s chronic illness. Thanks to you, I was able to gather quite a lot today….”
She wore an expression that looked like she might burst into tears at any moment.
“You must have been under a lot of emotional strain. I hope she recovers soon.”
“Yes…. I hope so too.”
Tusma pretended to feel sympathy for Chloe’s tearful plea and comforted her. Of course, even then he didn’t forget to keep the distance between them within thirty centimeters. All the while, he was busily devising a devious plan to completely corrupt her.
Back at the dormitory, Tusma gave Inrohi a detailed report of everything that had happened that day. Inrohi expressed suspicion about Chloe’s behavior.
“Chloe Nightshade… According to my information, that girl has quite a cunning side beneath her innocent appearance. It’s possible she was using you as bait, or she might have had some other scheme. You should be careful, Mister Tusma.”
At Inrohi’s advice, Tusma nodded.
“Of course, Lady Inrohi. I don’t fully trust that bitch either. But now that I know her weakness, I plan to begin the real conquest.”
“What method are you thinking of using?”
At the question, Tusma gave a wicked smile. He intended to feed her a special drink in order to inject the Paint of Corruption even deeper. A thick, semen-based beverage infused with a heavy dose of the corruptive magic.
The next day, Tusma approached Chloe while pretending to carry out Luriel’s bread shuttle duty. He handed her a fruit juice he had prepared in advance—one with a slight mix of his own semen. Thanks to the allowance Luriel had given him, he no longer needed to worry about such minor expenses.
“Lady Nightshade, you worked hard yesterday, so please drink this and regain your strength. I prepared it especially for you.”
Tusma wore the most pure and benevolent expression he could muster.
“Huh? Ah…. Yes….”
Chloe hesitated for a moment, but soon accepted his ‘kindness.’ Normally, she would never have taken a suspicious drink from a commoner. But because she had already been tainted by the Paint of Corruption during their time together yesterday, she accepted the juice without much suspicion.
“Mister Tusma Ssex. Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”
Chloe took a sip. At that moment—
“This is…!”
Her eyes widened in apparent surprise.
Shit, did she notice?!
Now that he thought about it, mixing semen into a drink—how could she not notice? As Tusma began to break into a cold sweat, she continued.
“Oh my goodness. This juice is really delicious? It tastes so much richer and sweeter than what I usually drink.”
Fortunately, she hadn’t caught on; it was a pure reaction of admiration. Thanks to his unique magic, the Paint of Corruption, women perceived his semen not as bodily fluid but as a delicious treat.
Phew… This lewd young lady is absolutely losing her mind over my thick cum.
Tusma cheered inwardly as Chloe drank every last drop of the juice he had given her.
“Mmm… so good….”
After finishing the juice, her face was redder than usual, and her eyes had grown moist. The Paint of Corruption magic was said to show far stronger effects when semen was consumed. On top of that, there was the unknown effect of his Universal Semen. Just what would happen to her now?
“Huh…? It feels… better…? How…??”
At that moment, Chloe placed a hand on her chest again, looking flustered.
What does she mean by ‘better’?
It seemed the Universal Semen had given her some kind of effect separate from the Paint of Corruption. As Tusma stared at her intently, she looked back at him with a startled expression.
“U-um, Mister Tusma!”
“Yes, my lady.”
“This drink… you prepared it especially for me….”
“…? Yes, that’s correct.”
I mixed it with plenty of my cum, after all.
That was what he was thinking as he answered, but Chloe blushed and lowered her head slightly.
“So… you already knew….”
Knew? Knew what?
“Thank you. For giving me hope….”
“…???”
Tusma had no idea what she was talking about, but he stayed quiet. Then Chloe stepped closer.
“…Do you have time tonight? After what happened yesterday and today… I’d like to thank you properly. Could you come to my room?”
Her voice was secretive and seductive. The way she subtly crossed her legs suggested the Paint of Corruption was beginning to take full effect.
“Haha. Yes, of course.”
Tusma immediately accepted her invitation. He smiled like a victor, already fantasizing about claiming yet another noble lady that very night.
Meanwhile, another faction member—Aria Steel—was watching Tusma and Chloe from afar with cold eyes. She had sensed the subtle atmosphere flowing between them.
What is that commoner doing with Chloe? And Chloe is acting strangely too…
Aria found Tusma suspicious and began to carefully observe what kind of influence his presence might have on the Bloody Rose faction.
That night, Tusma headed to Chloe’s room. It was filled with all kinds of herbs and magical tools, yet feminine, dainty decorations also caught the eye. Instead of the clothes she had worn during the day, she greeted him in a sheer, lace-trimmed nightgown. Her platinum blonde hair was loose, and a shy smile played on her face.
“You came, Mister Tusma. I’ve been waiting.”
Chloe reached out first, took his hand, and led him inside. Her hand was small and soft, yet somehow burning hot. This friendly behavior suggested the semen-laced drink had produced a powerful effect.
“Lady Nightshade, thank you for calling me at such a late hour.”
A faint scented candle burned in the room, giving the atmosphere a strangely erotic feel. At a glance, this was clearly not a normal situation.
“And… is there something I can help you with?”
Tusma asked slyly while observing her reaction. Chloe leaned gently against his chest and whispered.
“Mister Tusma… the truth is… I have a favor to ask of you. Please… help me.”
Her voice was pitiful and desperate.
Huh? Wasn’t she calling me here for sex?
He had thought she was seducing him and had fallen for it completely, but apparently that wasn’t the case.
“My younger brother Leo… is suffering from a strange illness. No medicine works… Now you’re my only hope, Mister Tusma.”
Tears welled up in Chloe’s eyes.
What the hell? I’m not a doctor or a healer. How am I supposed to cure something that even a noble family couldn’t fix?
Tusma was dumbfounded. Why on earth had Chloe pinned her hopes on him, a mere commoner?
“That special drink you gave me earlier…. Could you possibly make some for my brother too…?”
…Huh?? Why is the semen drink coming up here?
Tusma couldn’t understand the situation at all. But his confusion was resolved by her next words.
“If it’s that ‘healing drink’ you prepared for me, then my brother can be saved too.”
Healing drink? You mean the cum drink??
“Actually, my brother and I have the same illness. I’m in the early stages, so I looked fine on the outside… but I’ve always felt uncomfortable inside.”
An illness…? It’s not contagious, is it…??
Tusma seriously considered bolting from the room right then. But the next moment, Chloe revealed astonishing information.
“But… after drinking that special healing drink you prepared for me… my illness improved dramatically. It’s been so long since my body felt this comfortable.”
This was new information. It seemed that ingesting Tusma’s semen had a powerful effect on rare diseases that even noble families couldn’t cure. The Universal Semen had hidden healing properties in addition to its mana-conversion effect.
Is this some kind of jackpot? My cum can even cure rare diseases?
Realizing he now held absolute dominance, Tusma grinned.
This is a perfect opportunity.
Pretending to consider Chloe’s request, he began plotting how to drag her even deeper into his trap.
“I understand how you feel, my lady. It’s true that I possess a special power. However, I’m not exactly a doctor.”
At his words, Chloe looked even more desperate and clutched at his clothes.
“That’s fine! Please, just use that special healing power to save Leo! In return… I’ll give you anything I can…. Even my body….”
Her eyes burned with both desire and desperation. She was already so thoroughly corrupted by Tusma’s Paint of Corruption that she didn’t hesitate at all at the thought of offering herself to him.
Satisfied, Tusma smiled.
“My, my. Lady Nightshade. Are you truly willing to give me everything?”
He lifted her chin and stared straight into her eyes as he asked. Chloe nodded without hesitation.
“Yes…! Anything…! So please…!”
“Very well. Then… would you show me your ‘sincerity’ tonight? If you satisfy me with that beautiful body of yours, I’ll consider helping your younger brother.”
He knew the Paint of Corruption only affected women, but the healing effect of the Universal Semen would likely work regardless of gender.
I won’t cure him all at once. Little by little, bit by bit. That way she’ll cling to me even more desperately.
Wouldn’t diluting an extremely small amount of semen in a drink still produce the healing effect? This seemed like a good chance to test exactly how much dilution still worked.
“Then show me your sincerity now.”
“Ahh… Yes~!”
Tusma’s voice was as sweet and dangerous as a devil’s whisper. As if enchanted, Chloe nodded and began to untie the strings of her nightgown.
