Ch.208Side Story 2. The Story After, Esmeralda (5)

# The Story Continues, Esmeralda (5)

Esmeralda’s physical abilities are unparalleled even within the hero’s party.

It’s natural that she differs from Eirene and Millia who stand in the rear, but she’s so exceptional that she even surpasses Tina who also fights on the front line.

This was only natural.

Unlike Tina, who avoids direct confrontation and strikes at openings with quick movements, Esmeralda’s position is to face enemies head-on.

In simple terms.

“Wait, calm down… gack?!”

Lug’s physical abilities are no match for Esmeralda.

As always, Lug couldn’t even resist as he was helplessly pushed to the floor by Esmeralda’s hands.

If anything was different, perhaps it was that she felt even more overwhelming than before?

Like pushing against a wall, Esmeralda didn’t budge even the slightest bit.

Moreover, perhaps because his physical condition was poor, Lug felt utterly powerless before her overwhelming strength.

“L-let’s calm down, Hero.”

“Esmeralda.”

“…Esmeralda.”

Seeing Esmeralda’s cold expression as she corrected him, Lug obediently backed down and called her by name.

While this wasn’t particularly problematic behavior, the current situation certainly was.

Lug felt his vision darken at the thought of having to do this despite knowing full well what effect it would have on Esmeralda’s state of mind.

But he couldn’t just leave things as they were.

“Please calm down. Right now, you’re in an altered state because of the aphrodisiac mushroom.”

“And?”

“…Pardon?”

“What’s the problem with that?”

Esmeralda looked down at Lug with a seductive smile.

Seeing this expression he’d never witnessed before, Lug swallowed hard but spoke in a resolute tone.

“A relationship without love… or rather, one that happens regardless of your own will can’t possibly be good.”

“Oh really?”

Esmeralda giggled.

Then she uttered the very words that Lug had used to trouble her so many times.

“We’re married, so what’s the problem?”

“…”

Lug was at a loss for words.

Honestly, she wasn’t wrong.

Although it was forced upon them, it wasn’t strange for a married couple to be intimate.

“B-but still, isn’t your own will important, Esmeralda! For reasons you’re not even aware of…”

“You’re too noisy.”

“Mmph!”

Esmeralda silenced Lug’s muttering with her lips. What followed were wet, sticky sounds.

For someone who had only known kisses as brief touches of the lips, Esmeralda’s actions were surprisingly aggressive and passionate.

“Haah!”

It melted into a sticky sensation.

Without even a chance to breathe, she simply explored him endlessly.

As the desire that had accumulated over a long time burst forth all at once, Esmeralda couldn’t stop herself.

Lug also found it difficult to maintain his composure in this situation—not led by himself but by another, not exploring but being unilaterally explored.

“Chu…! Slurp… Haah…”

After their saliva intertwined, tasting and melting into each other’s depths, Esmeralda slowly raised herself up.

A strand connected their mouths before breaking, and Esmeralda licked her lips, smiling as if still unsatisfied.

“Hmm♫”

This moment was simply delightful.

Esmeralda gently caressed the cheek of Lug, who lay beneath her, unable to move, just staring up at her with a dazed expression.

Right now.

Just for now.

He was entirely hers.

Something she could do with as she pleased.

Riiip—!

Esmeralda lightly tore off Lug’s top and examined what was underneath.

Now she could directly look at what she had only dared to glance at from the corner of her eye before.

Her lips twitched into a seductive smile while her fingers traced down his body.

Then, as if suddenly coming to her senses, she exclaimed with a start.

“Ah, this isn’t right. Yes. We’re married, so I shouldn’t be the only one enjoying this, right?”

With those words, Esmeralda grabbed Lug’s hand and pulled it toward her chest.

Lug snapped back to his senses at the soft sensation against his palm.

However, controlling his hand that was gripping it was impossible.

If that had been possible, Lug would have conquered the hero’s party long ago.

And that…

“See, you like it too, don’t you? Right? I knew it.”

It was enough to further fuel Esmeralda’s impulsive behavior.

Now it wasn’t rape but mutual consent.

Why? Because Lug had just proven that he wanted it too.

Having confirmed this, Esmeralda grinned as if to say “now we begin” and started removing her clothes.

“You can touch as much as you want. I’ll do the same.”

Esmeralda methodically removed her clothes while allowing Lug to move his hands freely.

No, it was more like she was teaching him where to touch.

After all, while removing her clothes with one hand, she used the other to guide Lug’s wrist toward the parts of her body she was most confident about.

Esmeralda’s guidance moved from her chest to her thighs.

She let him freely play with her heavy breasts, and whenever Lug’s fingers brushed, poked, or pulled at her nipples, she trembled and laughed.

Faced with behavior more befitting a succubus than a hero, Lug couldn’t help but respond to her seduction.

After caressing her breasts, his hand slowly moved to Esmeralda’s smooth yet firm abdomen.

He confirmed the beauty that could be felt from her trained body.

And Esmeralda grabbed Lug’s hand, moving it to her red tongue, unleashing her desires without restraint.

“This is…”

Unbearable.

That’s what Lug thought.

Even though he knew the current situation was due to the mushroom.

This was Lug, who had always maintained clear boundaries even when caught up in lust.

He valued love and wished not to hurt the other person, but these actions made it impossible for him to hold back.

Similar yet different from the three assassins sent by La•Pa, including Tanha.

That lewd, sticky appearance, honest about her desires.

As if enchanted by that sight, Lug followed Esmeralda’s lead until he belatedly regained his senses at the cool feeling on his lower body.

“…”

By now, both of them were naked. Esmeralda, who had been unleashing her desires, suddenly stopped moving.

Her gaze was directed at Lug’s ferocious magic sword, which had grown even larger than usual due to the aphrodisiac mushroom’s effects.

After freezing for a moment as if frightened, Esmeralda slowly rose from Lug’s body as if having made up her mind, and grabbed that terrifyingly ferocious magic sword with both hands.

“Ugh…”

And finally, as she accepted that magic sword inside herself, the hero completely surrendered to pleasure.

With her hands on Lug’s chest, she seemed to endure the pain for a moment before falling into ecstasy.

“Haah…”

Esmeralda grinned.

Perhaps it wasn’t as painful as she had expected?

As if laughing at her previous fear, Esmeralda soon began to move.

Esmeralda moved back and forth, and even just that made her feel the thrill of Lug’s magic sword twitching inside her, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the right answer.

She didn’t know. No, she couldn’t even imagine that inserting it and moving slightly wasn’t the end.

“That’s… wrong.”

“Huh?”

Although Lug was already sufficiently immersed in pleasure, he couldn’t end things halfway after coming this far.

No, leaving things half-finished would obviously cause greater hurt later on.

With that excuse, Lug grabbed Esmeralda’s waist.

“Eh?”

Squelch!

Then he lifted her slightly before lowering her again.

Lug’s manhood, which had been filling Esmeralda’s insides, withdrew almost halfway before thrusting back in.

At that sudden impact, Esmeralda’s vision went white as she collapsed into Lug’s arms.

‘What… is this?’

What just happened to me?

Esmeralda drooled while continuously moaning as Lug held her waist and moved her like an object.

Pain and pleasure mixed together, racing through her entire body.

Unable to regain her senses from the shock, she drooled and shook helplessly in Lug’s arms.

Their chests pressed together, rubbing against each other as they moved, while Lug’s magic sword continued to pierce Esmeralda.

Screams and moans, and something in between burst forth, until.

“Hnngh?!”

Esmeralda reached her climax.

“Kuk!”

As Esmeralda climaxed and tightened around him, Lug also reached his peak simultaneously.

The two collapsed, having fully released their desires.

And only then did Lug, who had regained his senses, whisper into Esmeralda’s ear as he held her in his arms.

“I will make you happy.”

It was an unexpected accident.

An incident that led to this act due to Lug’s foolish judgment.

There was no individual will in it, only bestial desire.

She must have been hurt. That’s why he had to say something like this.

She might think him shameless.

She might resent him for not stopping her despite knowing something was wrong.

Lug was filled with such gloomy thoughts, but…

“Then.”

Esmeralda, who had been lying in Lug’s arms, raised herself up again.

Still connected to Lug, Esmeralda straightened her waist and said with a seductive smile.

“More.”

Now she knew the method.

She also knew what she could gain through this act.

“Let’s do a little more.”

Esmeralda decided to fulfill her desires with the most lewd expression she had ever shown.

And what Lug didn’t know was that the aphrodisiac effect of the mushroom, which could be endured by a demon’s body alone, couldn’t possibly be strong enough to rob a hero like her of her reason.

“This is far from enough…”

Yes, for someone like her with immunity to all kinds of poisons, this level of mushroom would have no effect even if eaten raw.

“After all, you’re the one who fed me the ‘Red-Blue-White Night Truffle,’ aren’t you?”

Esmeralda muttered the exact name of the mushroom that even Lug didn’t know, as if it were an indulgence, and smiled.

“So if you don’t take responsibility for that…”
