Chapter Title: Reunion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The inside of the carriage was shrouded in darkness and silence.
-Haa... Haa.
Only faint breathing sounds broke the quiet from time to time.
"..."
To my left was Marie.
To my right, Ayla was sleeping.
I heightened my senses and scanned the surroundings.
Everyone was asleep.
Ignis had been sent to the Hero's Sanctuary to rest.
It had been nearly a week since we'd started searching for the 11th-floor entrance passage.
Surprisingly, I'd been living a celibate life all that time.
But finally, my chance had come.
I could hold back...
But no longer.
If it were just the two of us, that'd be one thing.
But Ayla was surprisingly shy. There was a high chance she'd chew me out if I touched her.
So, choosing the obedient Marie was the right call.
I slowly inched my body toward Marie.
With the blanket covering us, it wouldn't show.
But I still had to be careful.
Luna was there, and Eileen too.
I'd even considered pitching a tent outside.
But the ground here wasn't suitable for that.
Bringing the carriage had been a wise choice, but it was like a shackle too.
'Next time, I need to bring two.'
Marie was lying on her side, back to me.
I approached her cautiously and wrapped my arms around her from behind.
Her body stiffened slightly.
She seemed to have woken up.
She had sharper ears than I thought. But realizing it was me, her tense body soon relaxed.
From behind, I lightly embraced Marie and gently kneaded her breasts. Her steady breathing grew a bit ragged.
Of course, that alone wasn't enough.
I lifted her clothes from the stomach side and slipped my hand inside.
Soft yet firm abs met my touch.
I stroked those abs and slid my hand upward.
There, I felt plump, delightfully soft flesh—not overly voluptuous, but just right. Toying with it, my fingertips found a cute little nub.
I gently rolled that nub between my fingers.
"...Hng."
Marie let out a faint, stifled moan.
I turned her head and sucked on those cute lips.
-Smack. Smooch.
While kissing, I slipped my hand into her pants.
Fine pubic hair and a soft mound.
Between them, I felt the parted slit.
-Squelch.
I lightly rubbed the raised clit with my index finger tip.
"Hah!"
At the stimulation, Marie lightly bit my tongue.
My finger parted her pussy lips and slid into the hole. I felt hot, slick mucosa.
The mucosa clung tightly to my finger.
Her insides were already sopping wet.
She was ready.
I pulled down Marie's pants, and she obligingly lifted her hips to make it easier.
I stroked her soft, exposed ass.
I pulled out my rock-hard, massive cock. Rubbing it along her ass crack, I slipped it between her thighs.
-Squelch...
The glans glided along her wet slit.
"Hng..."
I released her lips and lightly nibbled her ear.
Her hot breaths suggested she was aroused too.
Finally, my cock breached her pussy entrance.
Hot, wet mucosa welcomed and enveloped it.
"Haah!"
As my thick shaft plunged inside, Marie trembled and clamped both hands over her mouth to stifle her moan.
Pressing my hips tight against her from behind, I began tentative piston movements.
I couldn't move vigorously with the others possibly waking. But Marie's pussy compensated, writhing around my cock.
It was a superb pussy, worthy of the name.
"Mm..."
Marie desperately held back her moans, breathing quietly.
One hand on her breast.
The other rubbing her cute clit above our joined parts as I lightly thrust my hips.
-Thud. Thud.
"Hng. Hng."
Marie covered her mouth with both hands, huffing roughly through her nose.
After a while,
I felt her vaginal walls convulsing wildly around my cock.
She was nearing climax.
Swallowing a groan from the pleasure, I gripped her lower abdomen. I pressed my glans right against her womb entrance and thrust up.
As the glans mashed against her womb, she began convulsing.
My cock responded, pumping semen enthusiastically into her womb.
"Hnggh!!"
Marie clutched the blanket tight, shuddering.
Her pussy squeezed my cock hard.
In return, I filled her womb white and full.
"Hoo..."
I held her tight from behind, savoring the afterglow of orgasm. Her quiet yet slightly ragged breaths tickled my ear.
-Schlop...
Carefully, I withdrew my cock and fixed her clothes. As thanks for her efforts, I patted her ass.
'This has its own thrill.'
I gently separated from Marie and pulled Ayla into my arms.
"Mmm."
She peeked at me with sleepy eyes, then hugged my arm and drifted back to sleep.
I pulled Marie from the left into my embrace too.
Marie leaned against me a bit passively.
That's when.
In the darkness.
I saw Luna open her narrow eyes and stare at me.
'Eep!'
Like a thief startled by his own footsteps.
I flinched despite myself.
".........Khmm..."
As if nothing happened.
Pretend I didn't see.
With a woman in each arm, I closed my eyes.
Inside a luxurious hotel suite.
A stunning beauty with flowing sky-blue hair and eyes lounged languidly on the sofa, legs crossed.
Allen knelt before her.
"You're Douglas's son?"
"Yes! Berna Perkuna. I'm Allen Dofman."
Berna Perkuna the Duchess.
She held ducal rank but preferred being called just Perkuna, without the title.
Of course, Allen knew this and avoided the mistake of calling her Duchess.
"You're taking over Cerberus from Douglas... Well, as long as you don't cause trouble and do your job, I don't care."
Allen's father had stepped down as Cerberus leader and gone public, leaving it to him.
But the leader of Cerberus wasn't official just because his father said so.
One crucial thing remained.
Baruras's sole grand magus.
Master of Perkuna Tower.
Berna Perkuna's recognition.
Her words now meant Allen was truly Cerberus's leader.
"Th-thank you, Perkuna."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Allen bowed deeply to Berna Perkuna.
"By the way, the Transcendent lives in a mansion in this city?"
"Yes, they say he created the mansion with magic and lives there."
"Created a mansion with magic? That's unusual. I do know one person like that..."
"He's in the labyrinth now... so he's away, as far as I know. And..."
"And? There's more?"
"Besides the Transcendent, there's another woman who seems to be a grand magus."
"A grand magus, not some kid next door... A new grand magus after the Transcendent? Interesting. So his home is empty now?"
"The grand magus is still there."
Having gotten the info from Allen, Berna headed to the mansion to check out this new magus.
-Clack. Clack.
A luxury carriage stopped on the avenue before the mansion.
Berna stepped out.
"This the place?"
"Yes, it is."
The guide Allen had provided answered politely.
Standing before the mansion, Berna wore a subtle expression.
"This is..."
As a grand magus herself, she sensed the mansion was no ordinary place. It was a domain crafted by a grand magus.
"Hm... Tricky... Doesn't seem like a lie about a grand magus..."
She couldn't just barge in.
It was a prepared space of a grand magus.
Against an enemy, entering would be suicide.
Given the opponent, even with prep it'd be risky—let alone going in empty-handed like this.
"Somehow... this mana smells familiar... Should I call out?"
She fired mana at the mansion that would irk any grand magus.
Soon, a beauty with purple hair in a black dress and parasol appeared like a mirage before the mansion.
"A familiar and welcome face."
"As I thought... Liliana, it was you. Where'd you disappear to... Living with the Transcendent? What's that about?"
"Transcendent? Oh, Un-ho. That guy? It just happened. But 'you'? Bad manners for a reunion with your old master."
"Hmph. I'm not the old me. I reached 8th circle, your equal. Don't think of me as your toy anymore."
"Even same circle has ranks. You know that well."
"Hmph. I'll catch up soon enough. Just a matter of time."
Berna gauged Liliana's growth from how her old house—once house-sized—had expanded to mansion scale.
'Tch! Thought I'd caught up... This monstrous witch...'
"Well? It's been ages since seeing my disciple. Care for some tea?"
'What'll she do to me...'
Berna had no intention of entering the mansion.
"Hmph. Seeing your face soured my mood. I'm leaving."
Berna turned away from the mansion with nothing to show for it.
'I'll wait for him to come back from the labyrinth.'
