Episode 114

“Then let’s begin.”

Several small red arms protruded from the grimoire Juliana was holding. They stuck to the earth dragon’s gauntlets placed on the workbench.

Then, with precise movements, the skin of the gauntlet is peeled off one by one. Below it, a yellow-brown gem filled with mana was revealed.

“Even those without magical power can use it because the item itself possesses magical power. When it is not used, it absorbs the mana of the land little by little and stores it.”

“Then why doesn’t Lustier use magic tools like that? It looks very convenient…”

In this country, magic tools that can be used without magic power mostly rely on expensive magic stones. This means that they are all consumables. I’ve never seen anything that can replenish magical energy on its own.

“That ore that supplies mana from the earth on its own and preserves it with almost no loss. This is my first time seeing a substance with such properties. If we can mine that in large quantities, a revolution in magic tools will come.”

“Hmm, indeed…”

I knew it was effective, but it may be a much rarer item than I thought.

Arms extending from the grimoire traced the tan-colored gem and the circuitry connected to it. It’s like the antennae of an insect.

“But there is definitely room for improvement. The properties of that ore are amazing, but the method of handling it is quite old. We will improve the mana delivery method to be more efficient, and rebuild the manifestation spell to be up-to-date. Just this much will enhance the output to the level the princess desires.”

“Hmm, really? So how long does it take?”

“It is possible right now. It’s simple if you know the principle and structure.”

I nodded to Juliana to proceed. Mana was seen being transmitted from the grimoire to the red arms.

Chijijik, chijijik, sparks fly on the surface of the jewel. Are you okay?

Well, Juliana, the expert, said it with confidence, so it must be okay. I decided to believe her rant.

Julianna continued her work with a very focused expression on her face. The time itself didn’t take long. It was about 5 minutes. But in the meantime, beads of sweat were increasing on Juliana’s forehead.

“Whew… it’s over. After all, I am a genius.”

Julianna let out a sigh of relief with an expression that seemed to be pouring out her heart. The red arms were reattaching the outer skin of the gauntlets that had been removed as a finishing touch.

“Good job, Julianna. But to what extent has it been strengthened?”

“The overall output would have increased by about 1.5 times just by improving efficiency just now. Both in terms of durability and range of effect. I think it will take a little more time to make any further improvements…”

“This is enough for now.”

A magic item that allows at least dozens of people to move secretly. The tactical value is enormous.

I put the Earth Dragon’s Gauntlets in the case I brought. The moment I was about to climb the stairs with Juliana, I heard a knock on the door at regular intervals.

Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock.

Juliana seemed to know where the door was just from the sound of the knock.

“Who is it?”

“Well… I’m the magic goods merchant I mentioned last time. Should we just let it go?”

Even though she said that, Juliana looked quite disappointed.

If you’re a wandering magic merchant, you’re the one who sold the tentacle patch last time. I was also quite interested in the products he was selling.

“Open it. If you are a merchant selling rare items, I would like to meet you.”

Juliana went up and opened the door. Outside the door stood a man wrapped all over, holding a large suitcase.

“It’s been a long time, great mage, Madame of the Red Fairy! Hey, a guest has arrived. Besides, isn’t this person Princess Sarah Lustier? It is truly an honor to have the pleasure of meeting face to face like this.”

A strangely high-pitched voice. That doesn’t mean she’s a woman. It was a voice that sounded like three cups of suspiciousness had been added to the voice of a boy in a period of transformation.

His outfit was also suspicious. He is wrapped in a thick coat and wearing a large hat. Even his face was covered with a large mask, and only the corners of his eyes were barely visible.

He was a man who could be said to be the epitome of a suspicious merchant. No, is it really a person?

“I heard a lot from the Marchioness. I heard you handle rare products?”

“This is it. I am deeply touched that a great mage is promoting my business. That’s right. The level of rarity may vary depending on the item, but it is clear that they have items that are not easy to find in this country. It seems the princess is also interested in my products?”

“New things always stimulate interest.”

“Hehe, good.”

The merchant placed a large suitcase on the table and put the key in the lock.

Opening it revealed an interior with numerous items neatly arranged. It could even be called a simple store.

Inside, there were many objects that radiated mana. The colorful mana was dazzling.

Juliana asked him.

“What did you prepare today?”

“The items we prepared for Madam today are three types of special potions to explore beauty, health, and the mystery of the body.”

The merchant took out three bottles of potions from a connected case inside the suitcase.

A set of red, orange and white potions. Displaying it on the table, the merchant began to explain.

“The red potion is the so-called love potion. However, as is often the case, you don’t fall in love with the first person you see. It only strengthens the affection you already have in your heart. I recommend it if you want to spend a passionate night with your husband.”

A potion that makes affection stronger…

The person I want to use flashes in my mind for a moment. But I soon erased that thought.

I don’t want to use that power to control someone’s mind. This is the lesson learned from Rika’s case. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get it fairly through threats and coercion?

Juliana also didn’t look very interested. The merchant immediately moved on to the next orange potion.

“It may not have been a very meaningful item to the two of you who are full of charm as women. So how about this? This potion is a potion that maximizes the joy of being loved by the other person. Drinking this increases sexual sensation by 2 to up to 10 times. What if you want to experience extreme physical pleasure?”

In short, it’s weak.

It’s weak… compared to what was just before, it’s a little more appealing to the ears. Just looking at Carmel, who was struggling with her whole body becoming sensitive due to the weak medicine, would have made her happy.

But Juliana struck first.

“I will buy it.”

“I thought you would say that. But will the princess be okay? It seemed like he was quite interested.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll give it to Julianna.”

Well, it’s not something I’m that greedy about. Giving too much pleasure easily is not fun. It is a greater joy for the instructor to slowly, step by step, allow pleasure to seep into one’s consciousness.

Moreover, for Juliana, who is serious about masturbation, there is no item as great as that. A sinister smile was drawn on Juliana’s lips, as if she was already looking forward to it.

“Good, good. Then, the long-awaited final item is this, Potion of Feng Yu. In a way, it can be said to be an item that makes women’s dreams come true. Drinking this causes the recipient’s breasts to swell greatly. As a minor side effect, you will have a constitution that produces breast milk for a short period of time… but depending on the situation, that can also be a pleasure.”

what?

Breast milk comes out at the same time your breasts grow?

In an instant, a drama-length scenario is drawn in my mind. It was mainly filled with shady scenes and was closer to pornography than a drama.

I asked the merchant a question.

“I would like to hear more details about the effects of the medicine and how long it lasts. How big do breasts get and how long do they last?”

Although my tastes are a bit special, they fall into the normal category. Although I like big breasts, I hate them when they grow to a disgusting size.

“Hyohyo, your eyes are really shining this time. Growing up is determined by how much of the potion you drink. It grows by about 10% in one sip. It is not recommended to drink it all at once. Of course, the effect lasts only 30 minutes. After that, it was completely restored to its original state.”

10% per sip…

Actually, the part I was interested in was the side effects rather than the allegory. Carmel’s breasts are already big enough to suit my taste. There is no need to get any bigger.

“What are the side effects? Does it show up in just one sip? What if it’s just one drop?”

“Clinical testing has confirmed that it appears in just one sip. But if it’s just one drop… I’m not sure. Will that amount really bring about change?…”

“Hmm… I like it. I’ll buy it. But before you decide to buy it, can you test the side effects first?”

“Test? Here? Are you speaking directly from Princess Sarah Lustier?”

“No. It’s not me…”

Juliana was immersed in happiness as she looked into the orange potion. She noticed a strange atmosphere surrounding her.

“Uh… why are you looking at me…?”
