Chapter 230: Mobius (14)

“E-Evan-nim?”

“Huh? Uh-huh, you’re awake?”

When Sylvia opened her eyes, I was dozing off, sitting on a chair by her bedside like a husband waiting for his wife to recover after childbirth. This place, quite a distance from the Magic Tower, was still unaware of the major incident where the Mobius Magic Tower exploded.

Sylvia looked around with an expression of doubt, wondering if everything she had experienced was just a dream. Then, after pinching her own cheek once, she pinched my cheek, wondering if I, right in front of her eyes, was the dream this time.

“Ouch.”

When I furrowed my brow, Sylvia flinched back in surprise. I hadn’t intended to startle her like this, so I reached out and gently stroked her hand. Sylvia let my touch soothe her and spoke rapidly.

“S-Sorry. Evan-nim. I-I thought maybe this was a dream… Wh-what exactly happened? I was definitely captured by Archmage Mobius, got caught up in some magic circle… My memory is hazy after that…”

She seemed to have a lot she wanted to say. After repeating herself several times, she closed her eyes, contorting her face as if trying to recall something, then looked at me and shouted.

“G-Grandpa! My grandpa was there! He was definitely tied up in chains, did you happen to see him?”

“Grandpa?”

The only grandpa there was Mobius. I couldn’t figure out who this grandpa she was mentioning could be.

“There wasn’t any other grandpa besides Mobius?”

“Ah… R-really? That’s a relief…”

I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but since she said it was a relief, it didn’t seem like a big deal. I stroked her back and said.

“You must be tired, so lie down more. Should I bring you some food?”

“Ah, no. Rather than that, please stay here beside me. It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, Evan-nim… Hehehe…”

Sylvia said that and wrapped her arms around mine. Feeling her flushed face and the soft sensation of her rubbing against my arm, I couldn’t help but think of her pink asshole and pussy. I knew she’d let out cute moans just from a finger poke, and every time I thrust my cock into her thick folds, sweat would pool between her full breasts. And when I grabbed her nipples and spread her breasts apart, how hot it was to see sweat drip down her soaked, firm stomach. And what about those mesmerizing ass cheeks that jiggled every time I shoved my cock into her asshole? Before I knew it, I was groping her breasts, and Sylvia, seemingly forgetting her exhaustion from the Magic Tower, was reaching for my cock.

Any kind and hypocritical words like ‘You should rest, it hurts’ or ‘Aren’t you hungry?’ had long been forgotten, overwhelmed by the destructive power of her breasts and thick thighs. I was merely acting like a beast driven by instinct, seeking her lips and trying to undress her.

“Hoo…!”

When I pulled my lips away, a transparent thread connected the two of us. I stroked her cheek, and Sylvia, acting cute like a cat, clung tightly to me.

“Hehe… Evan-nim… I missed you so much. Every day… it was hard even when I did it alone thinking of you…”

“I made you wait too long, didn’t I? Sorry?”

When I apologized and hugged her again, Sylvia laughed even louder and buried her head in my shoulder. I stroked her back, erasing the sense of debt I felt towards her that had piled up in my heart. And in its place, I poured my possessiveness and affection for her, gradually tightening my grip. My cock and her lower abdomen were pressed together, rubbing against each other, and Sylvia’s hands moved down as if to undo my belt buckle.

Clank!

“Let’s talk.”

And then the door burst open, and I turned around while groping Sylvia’s breasts. Petunia Titi, faced with the lewd sight the moment the door opened, took a deep breath, then scratched her head and said.

“Ah, sorry. I should have knocked before coming in.”

Then she went back outside and closed the door.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, and Sylvia, eyes wide, asked me.

“Evan-nim. Who is that woman?”

“Uh… She’s our collaborator.”

“Ah, so she’s not Evan-nim’s subordinate yet?”

“That’s right.”

“She has pretty legs and a nice figure, it would be great to have sex together later! She has a similar build to Alice, but with bigger breasts, so you’d probably like her more, Evan-nim.”

Sylvia laughed, making a remark that would have made Alice spit blood if she heard it. I nodded at Sylvia’s words and tidied up my clothes. No matter how much of an incubus I am, I don’t have sex while talking face-to-face with someone.

A knock sounded, and I gently laid Sylvia back down, saying.

“Yeah. Come in.”

The door burst open, and Petunia Titi walked in, her face flushed red. She pushed her hair back and looked at me, and Sylvia glanced back and forth between us before suddenly letting out a fake snore and closing her eyes. Did studying at the Magic Tower give me even a little bit of social awareness? I stroked her one more time, then got up, and Petunia Titi said with a serious expression.

“Come out and talk. This isn’t something that kid should hear.”

I nodded and followed her out of the room. Sylvia, who had been faking snores, was now breathing evenly, seemingly having fallen asleep for real.

When she opened the door, Milia and Taffy were sitting there. Two seats were empty at the round table, undoubtedly meant for Titi and me. I sat down and said to Titi.

“Are you feeling any better?”

She had been moving around with a complicated expression for a long time after killing Mobius. She had been walking silently with a hardened face, as if she might bolt from the party at any moment if provoked, but now she could face me with a slightly more relaxed expression. When I mentioned her mood, Titi’s displeased and complicated expression mixed again, and she sighed deeply, saying.

“I don’t know. It’s still complicated.”

“If it was that complicated, it was a problem I could have handled.”

Milia said, creating a small magic orb at her fingertips. The final shot that killed Mobius was Petunia Titi’s arrow. Milia seemed surprised by that, and Taffy also looked at Titi with a curious expression. Petunia Titi shook her head at Milia’s words and said.

“…I should have been the one to shoot him. He was my comrade. And, since I decided to be with you all, I couldn’t just do nothing.”

An arrow loosed from the bow cannot be taken back. By definitively ending the dying Mobius’s life, she had shown us her resolve. She had been walking a fine line until now, but now she was clearly stating she would become my comrade. That she would help us in the fight to kill the Hero Wolf.

“It’s true my feelings aren’t fully settled yet, but I’ve decided to trust you all… Wolf… Wolf seems to be heading down an irreversible path now.”

Before attempting the Mobius assassination plan, we had read an article about Wolf massacring hundreds of protesters in the capital. The fact that a person, the Hero, had used his power to kill his own people was so shocking that every publication, from the monthly magazine that usually only reported on orchard news to fashion magazines, was blaring the story. Wolf’s massacre must have played a part in settling Petunia Titi’s mind, alongside Mobius’s depravity and madness.

“Yes. Welcome.”

Milia said that, clapping her hands,

“Welcome.”

Taffy followed Milia’s actions exactly. Just as I was about to join the round of applause, Titi said to me, blushing.

“Don’t.”

I raised both hands and nodded, and Milia said to me.

“What a shame. It was meant as a sign of goodwill.”

“…I don’t care about that. Ah, anyway, please take care of me. Just until we defeat Wolf, though.”

Petunia Titi said that in a voice full of embarrassment, looking at the corner of the table. As she tapped the table, which looked like a casino roulette wheel, and lifted her head, we were there, smiling contentedly without a word. Seeing even Taffy smile as if he understood something, Petunia Titi’s face turned red again.

“Ah, what is it! What are you trying to say!”

“No, well… we didn’t say anything.”

Milia nodded too. Taffy nodded even faster, looking at me. Petunia Titi said, her face flushed crimson.

“Anyway! I said I’d be your comrade, but if you guys head in a weird direction, I will definitely stop you! Got it?”

“Yeah. Got it.”

There were many problems, and much time remained. From the moment Mobius was killed, people who feared the Hero Wolf began to cautiously raise their heads. Wolf’s supporters would retreat even faster, while those who were furious with him would rally and wait for an opportunity. Now, we needed patience and training. Training that could allow us to defeat the Hero Wolf. And waiting until Wolf’s power waned sufficiently.
