The moment I realized that achieving my dreams was more precious than life itself, I became capable of anything. My desire for my dream was sincere enough that I could, without hesitation, whisper her name in Mir Ryu’s ear, despite once being so afraid and still disliking her so much.

There is no hesitation in the steps of someone with a firm goal.

Without hesitation, I smoothly ran my fingers through Mir Ryu’s silky hair and, at the same time, smiled brightly as I spoke to her.

“I’m glad it’s perfectly fine for me to call you Mir.”

[“Fine? Why is it a relief for you to be able to call me Mir?”]

“Well, because I wanted to call you Mir, of course.”

[What…]

Mir Ryu couldn’t continue speaking, seemingly genuinely taken aback by my immediate response. I worried that I might have been too forceful in my reaction, but recalling her earlier statement, “It’s perfectly fine,” helped me regain composure.

Yes, it’s water under the bridge anyway. If I don’t do this, nothing will change. It’s a situation where I have to do something now.

“Why did your attitude suddenly change? You never used to act like this towards me.”

See, as soon as we stop, she senses something strange and immediately raises questions. I have to push without giving her a chance to rest. From now on, I’ll approach this with the determination to see it through to the end.

Upon hearing Mir Ryu’s guarded question, I realized once again that for the restructuring of relationships with S-class individuals, relentlessly pushing forward without giving any pause for thought is an essential requirement.

When I smacked my own butt, I always checked my surroundings before doing so… Why is it suddenly coming out like this? It feels like there’s some kind of trickery going on, but am I really going to fall for such a pitiful ploy? I’m Mir Ryuin. I’m the master of magic that can weave the sky with countless high-level spells, and I’m one of the wealthiest people in the world. All of this is because I possess a transcendent intellect. I’m not someone who can be easily deceived and manipulated by someone like Stay.

In that fleeting moment of enlightenment, Mir Ryuin reorganized his disheveled posture from earlier, regained his composure, and revealed a sense of wariness towards me.

Certainly, Mir Ryuin seemed to operate on a different level compared to Mei Luina, who would immediately throw a fit if I called her by name and lightly tapped her chest.

Even though I’ve ended up in this state, my mind is clear. It means I can quickly discern your tricks, Stay. So what will you do? Will you admit your mistake with your own mouth, apologize to me, embrace me tightly, press your face against my neck, and leave a mark on my trapezius as a sign of repentance? Or will you persist in hiding your pitiful scheme until you’re exposed and then tremble in fear, begging me desperately while pressing your face against my neck and pleading for mercy, even going so far as to firmly knead my buttocks? Make your choice, Stay.

Ultimately regaining his composure, Mir Ryuin extended a choice to me along with threatening words, seemingly still unable to grasp the true intention behind my actions. However, he understood that the most important thing at the moment was to gain control, as he presented me with options.

Indeed, the thought of being forced to beg desperately while trembling in fear after hiding a scheme from Mir Ryuin until the very end was a terrifying prospect beyond imagination.

[Actually, logically speaking, this is too easy of a problem. I did say to choose, but the answer is obviously one, isn’t it? No one would want to incur my, Mir Ryuin’s wrath. Stay, you probably know to some extent, but I don’t like the sight of someone lacking ability and qualification pretending not to know the subject. However, because you’re Stay, I’m giving you this chance. So, gratefully select the correct answer.]

Mir Ryuin knew very well how high her position was in this world, and how easily her words and actions from that position could shake the world. Therefore, confidently stating that not going against her own feelings was the correct answer came naturally to her.

“·····Yes, I understand, Mir. I’ll speak. I’ll explain why I suddenly started doing this.”

And just as I was like an ant that would be shattered and sent flying into the air with a single breath from Mir Ryuin, there was no choice but for her to choose the answer she desired.

[Huhu. Well thought. It was somewhat cute how you were subtly trying to grasp and shake me, Stay. It felt like seeing a small dog deliberately acting cute to keep walking with its owner. Even so, it’s just a small dog, and if you embrace it, that’s the end of it. So, shall we try once? Why you did such a charming thing to me, Stay.]

Upon my declaration to choose the answer, Mir Ryuin seemed to think she had completely taken the lead. She demanded an explanation from me so calmly that it was hard to believe she was the same person who had been so flustered just moments ago when her name was called.

A moment where any plan fell apart as soon as it began. A truly disgraceful moment where one must bow their head and shake their white flag in order to survive.

I looked at Mir Ryuin, the plant-like being, and formed a despicable smile that she couldn’t see.

Truly, it’s easy. As expected, there’s a reason they say there’s no one easier to manipulate than someone who thinks they’re the smartest.

Mir Ryu-in was a monster among monsters, accomplishing everything she wanted with her transcendent intellect and endless mana that perfectly supported her. However, this very fact harbored a fatal flaw—she never suspected herself, and that flaw had now manifested itself all too perfectly in this moment.

It was all within expectations that Mir Ryu-in would gain the upper hand. “Why did I do such a thing?” The reason I let her mock me, including methods as extreme as smacking my own butt to stop Mir Ryu-in’s reasoning and regain control, was precisely for this purpose.

“I wanted to let Mir know about the side of me that she doesn’t know.” That’s why I said those words. Everything that happened today in this hospital room was nothing more than a buildup to say these words to Mir Ryu-in.

“So, I did it because I wanted to tell you about the side of me that you don’t know······?” And this statement was yet another buildup for the actions I would take towards Mir Ryu-in from now on.

I ran my hand over Mir Ryu-in’s forehead, cheek, and neckline, using the same hand that had just threatened her. “Hng♥” Even though it was merely touching her forehead, cheek, and neckline, Mir Ryu-in’s voice had already started to sweeten.

A pathetic premature ejaculator who gets turned on just by gently caressing her face and neck with the palm of my hand. That was Mir Ryu-in, and knowing this about her allowed me to remain calm and composed after hearing her threat just moments ago, and seize the opportunity with a cool head.

Mir Ryu-in, who bore terrifying titles such as Master of Magic, Dragon, and Commander of the First Legion, was now nothing more than a pitiful premature ejaculator getting turned on by my touch alone.

“Well, I never get tired of seeing such a pathetic sight.” “Wha-what did you just say?!” Just by lightly swirling my thumb around the end of her collarbone, like twisting Mei Luina’s nipple, Mir Ryu-in, who got turned on just by that, reacted rebelliously to my words.

However, even her resistance was halfway melted and sweetened, so I just smiled and whispered to Mir Ryuin once again.

“Seeing Mir like this. It’s so adorable that I never get tired of it.”

[Adorable? Not just adorable······ but too adorable······? So, you’re saying I’m a girl who doesn’t get tired because I’m so adorable······ Huh♥]

Every word I spoke at that moment was nothing but sincere.

Since she was not someone who could be deceived by lies, there was no falsehood in my words; I simply chose my words and actions carefully.

Wanting to call Mir Ryuin “Mir,” being grateful that I could call her that, wanting to show her the side of me she didn’t know, and feeling affection for the truly awkward appearance of Mir Ryuin—every bit of it was genuine.

[Adorable······♥ My heart is pounding♥ Why, why do I feel like this? Just because I heard Stayhan say I’m cute and that he won’t get tired of me♥]

Sincerity has a way of touching people’s hearts.

With Mir Ryuin, who was already halfway melted by my touch, unable to resist the word “adorable,” I made a proposal to her, perfectly timed.

“So from now on, I will wholeheartedly, with all my body and soul, try to let Mir, who doesn’t know me, get to know me. How would you like to start getting to know the real me from now on?”

[Huh, okay♥ Let me know♥ Let me know♥]

For the easily aroused and awkward Mir Ryuin, it was an offer she couldn’t refuse after just a few touches.

With a sly smile at her acceptance of the proposal, I calmly but firmly said, “Well then, let’s start by undressing.”
