Alchemist-nim’s Perfect Plan and the Assistant’s Day

“Her petals bloomed fully. The honey that flowed from her secret parts was sweeter than anything. I inserted my heated rod-what the hell, this isn’t a Sex Education book, it’s just an erotic novel?!”

It said “Gentleman’s Guide to Sexual Relations” so I thought it was a Sex Education book, but the contents were just an erotic novel. Thinking it was a truly novel clickbait title, I closed the book.

I tossed it onto the desk and fell into thought.

Some time had passed since the incident caused by Alraune’s petals. I had thought Cecil might need proper sex education, so I picked up this book when I went shopping recently, but I’d stepped on a landmine. The book wasn’t cheap either. I’d have to get a refund soon. It seemed I’d have to personally show them what a true ‘customer complaint’ was.

Since that day, research into Cecil’s essence had made no progress. That meant I still hadn’t escaped this wretched body. It was partly because I also had to make a Potion due to what happened then, but it was more urgent to create an Aphrodisiac using Alraune’s petals.

I can’t deny that the doubling of Milk consumption made me anxious… Anyway, I believe I’ve perfectly blended it, adding the data obtained from Cecil to what I had already conceived.

Now, all that was left was to try it myself… but there was no suitable test subject.

If I took it, it wouldn’t have much effect since it was a male Aphrodisiac, and if I used it on Cecil… it would probably work, but it felt like I’d be doing something terrible. She’d be writhing in pain, shaking her hips without knowing why.

Submitting it to the Academic Society would get it verified… but that would take too long. It really would have been best if I could take it myself, but of all things, I ended up in this state.

As I lay slumped over my desk, deep in thought, a good idea struck me.

Today happened to be the day I had a Date with Claudia. Since I hadn’t been able to revert my body, I had no choice but to go. Separately, I wondered if I could entrust the Aphrodisiac prototype to Claudia.

Claudia herself couldn’t use it since she was a woman, but she was quite an excellent adventurer. She must know many male adventurers. Furthermore, since she and I regularly exchanged contact, she was perfect for receiving the results.

It was a bit troublesome, but it would still be much faster than entrusting it to the Academic Society.

Actually, I don’t know about the old Claudia… but since I changed into this body, she’s been quite kind… so I thought she might do it. And I thought it was a perfect win-win plan, allowing adventurers to try out a high-grade Aphrodisiac.

I chuckled softly and checked the time; it was almost time for Claudia to arrive.

I straightened my clothes and went down to the Workshop, where Cecil was cleaning.

“Cecil.”

“Asha-nim!”

“Are you done cleaning?”

“Yes! I’m finished now!”

“Good, you worked hard.”

“Yes!”

Cecil was energetic today too. I walked past her and opened the Preservation Box. From it, I took out the Aphrodisiac prototype and tucked it into my clothes.

“Cecil.”

“Yes, Asha-nim.”

“It might be sudden, but you can play freely today. As long as you don’t go outside.”

“What do you mean? Cecil, have I been fired?”

“…Fired? Today is your day off. It’s like a vacation.”

“I see! Today is a vacation? It is!”

“Yes, it’s a vacation.”

I gently stroked Cecil’s head and moved towards the entrance.

“I’ll be out for a bit… you can eat anything in the Kitchen Preservation Box if you’re hungry, so help yourself.”

“Yes! Then what should I do?”

“Hmm… I wonder? Whatever you want to do?”

“I don’t know.”

“Is it still a bit difficult for Cecil?”

“I’ll try my best anyway!”

“Alright, tell me what you did for fun when I get back.”

“Yes!”

No sooner had my conversation with Cecil ended than a signal indicated a visitor had arrived.

“Looks like she’s here to pick me up. I’ll be back, Cecil.”

“…Have a good trip, Asha-nim.”

I smiled at Cecil, who had somehow become gloomy, and opened the front door. There stood Claudia, dressed up nicely, unlike her usual self. Her form-fitting clothes clearly accentuated her silhouette. I thought she had a firm and beautiful body, befitting an adventurer.

Her tail looked fluffy today too.

“Hello, Young lady. You’re wearing proper clothes today, aren’t you? Though the gown is still the same.”

“…It’s not like I have any clothes I particularly like.”

“Not because they were too expensive to buy?”

“No? Just hurry up and go.”

“Is Lord Astaroth not here today either?”

“Yes, unfortunately.”

“It’s hard to see his face these days. Well, I’m happy to see you, Young lady. Shall we go then?”

Saying that, Claudia naturally placed her hand on my waist. Perhaps because she was Beastfolk, she felt incredibly warm. She smelled faintly fresh, as if she had sprayed perfume.

“… Do we really have to walk like this?”

“Of course, it’s a Date, even if only in name, shouldn’t we get into the mood?”

“….”

Claudia smiled with a sly expression.

“Alright, let’s go then. I’ve made a reservation at a nice place.”

I followed Claudia out to the Downtown.

Asha-nim said today was a vacation. However, Cecil doesn’t quite understand what a vacation is. So, Cecil doesn’t know what to do. Still, since Cecil told Asha-nim that Cecil would try, Cecil intends to do something.

Asha-nim went out with Claudia, who smells like a beast. Cecil feels strange. Is Cecil not allowed to go out with them? It feels like rain is falling in Cecil’s heart. Cecil is confident in carrying luggage, you see.

The Workshop without Asha-nim feels like it’s raining. That’s why Cecil left the Workshop. Cecil pondered what would be good to do. Nothing specific came to mind.

Because Asha-nim always told Cecil everything.

Cecil already misses Asha-nim. But since Asha-nim told Cecil to stay inside the house, Cecil cannot follow them out.

A good idea came to Cecil.

Cecil came to the place where Cecil sleeps with Asha-nim. Asha-nim’s scent comes from the blanket. It’s still a good scent. Perhaps because Asha-nim spent a long time on the bed today, the scent is strong. Being like this makes Cecil feel good, as if Cecil is with Asha-nim.

When Cecil buried Cecil’s face in the pillow Asha-nim uses, a strong scent was perceived.

Ah, it got hard again.

Why does it keep getting hard when Cecil smells Asha-nim’s scent? Asha-nim hasn’t taught Cecil this one thing. It’s a shame, but Cecil must leave this place before it gets even harder. Otherwise….

…Cecil will have no choice but to do something pleasurable.

Cecil feels good, but Asha-nim doesn’t seem to like this very much. Cecil moved Cecil’s unyielding body and looked around the house. While doing so, Cecil found a book Cecil hadn’t seen before.

Normally, Cecil wouldn’t even glance at it unless Asha-nim gave it to Cecil, but since Asha-nim told Cecil to try anything today, Cecil wonders if Cecil should read this.

The book’s title is “Gentleman’s Guide to Sexual Relations.” Cecil flips through the fluttering pages and reads the contents.

Hmm… Cecil doesn’t quite understand.

People don’t have petals. Honey doesn’t come out either.

Asha-nim definitely has a flower-like scent, but Asha-nim isn’t a flower, are they? However, Cecil has engraved the contents in Cecil’s mind. It would be good to ask Asha-nim when they return.

Then Asha-nim will stroke Cecil’s head and tell Cecil, won’t they?

After reading the book, Cecil feels hungry. Cecil is going to the Kitchen now.

When Cecil opened the Preservation Box, there were sandwiches Asha-nim had made. Asha-nim is good at cooking. They are delicious.

Just eating the sandwich feels like Cecil’s throat is getting dry. Cecil opens the adjacent Preservation Box and takes out milk!

Cecil hasn’t had any milk yet today, so Cecil can drink it!

The sandwich and milk are delicious. But… Cecil wants to drink more milk. Asha-nim only allowed one per day, so Cecil shouldn’t drink any more.

Oh no! Cecil’s hand moved on its own and tore open the packaging!

This is a big problem! Asha-nim might get angry! When Cecil came to Cecil’s senses, Cecil had already drunk half of the new milk. It was delicious, but… Cecil is worried.

Cecil doesn’t want to be scolded by Asha-nim.

A good idea came to Cecil! Cecil is going to the Workshop.

Cecil didn’t forget the milk bottle either.

Cecil opened the innermost Preservation Box. Inside, there was a beaker containing something that looked like milk. If Cecil puts this in, Asha-nim definitely won’t notice!

Cecil won’t tell Asha-nim about this! Cecil doesn’t want to be scolded.

Thinking of Asha-nim makes Cecil miss Asha-nim. Outside, it’s already dark. When on earth will Asha-nim return?

Cecil ended up back in the bed where Cecil sleeps with Asha-nim. This is a big problem. Asha-nim’s scent no longer comes from the bed. It feels like rain is falling on the bed.

Cecil didn’t give up and went to the Bathroom. Cecil saw the clothes Asha-nim had taken off. Asha-nim’s scent is still here.

Yes. It feels like Asha-nim is right next to Cecil. Cecil should wait for Asha-nim to come back just like this. Cecil will smell it a lot before it fades.

Not long after, Asha-nim returned. Asha-nim looked a little tired. The beast smell was strong. Somehow… Cecil felt strange.

The returned Asha-nim went to the Kitchen. This is a big problem. Could it be that Asha-nim knows everything? Asha-nim opened the Preservation Box containing the milk. Cecil’s heart started to ache.

Asha-nim took out the milk and tilted Asha-nim’s head. Asha-nim tore open the packaging Cecil had carefully re-sealed and drank the milk.

A clinking sound was heard. Asha-nim dropped the milk bottle. Startled, Cecil ran to Asha-nim.

Asha-nim’s face was red. Asha-nim’s breathing had also become very ragged. Something was strange. Asha-nim’s scent was growing stronger. Asha-nim’s eyes were hazy.

Seeing that sight, it got hard.

Suddenly, the contents of the book Cecil had seen earlier that day came to mind. Cecil doesn’t know why. So, it would be good to ask Asha-nim. Feeling it getting harder and harder, Cecil approached Asha-nim.

There’s an unpleasant beast smell.

Cecil dislikes beasts.
