Chapter 22: A Pleasure for You.

Chapter 22: A Pleasure for You.

My breath caught in my throat.

I blinked, disbelieving, and clutched my trembling body tightly with both arms.

No. I must have seen it wrong.

I slowly lowered and raised my eyelids.

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

The man’s head was gone, and his usual voice reassured me.

“Phew…”

Of course. I was so tired, I must have imagined it.

The incense was a factor, and I’d been masturbating so much lately, my mind was all over the place.

I realized anew. That man had a surprisingly significant impact on my mental state.

After all, in this shitty place, he was my only conversation partner.

I forced a smile and opened my mouth.

“No. A mosquito just flew by.”

“Eek, a m-mosquito?”

Screeeech!

The startled man pulled out a can of bug spray and began spraying in all directions, as if to eliminate all insects.

Bug spray in the Middle Ages. What a bizarre sight.

For some reason, that being seemed to transcend the world’s setting.

“I don’t care, though.”

Whether that man was a hallucination.

Or a demon, or any other kind of being.

The fact that he was talking, laughing, and chatting in front of me was the most important thing.

The presence of someone other than Scarlett meant more to me than I expected.

“Phew… It seems to be gone now. I can’t stand dealing with bugs…”

The man let out a sigh of relief.

I chuckled softly at him.

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“You’re huge, but I bet you’re more scared of bugs than I am.”

“I’m tired of hearing that. Bugs are just terrifying!”

The man said, as if joking, and lightly landed on the ground from the ceiling.

His entrances were always so strange.

He rambled for a while about his disgust for bugs and his theories on extermination.

Then, he naturally changed the subject.

“…Are you feeling any better?”

A question about my well-being.

He’d come to check on me last time too.

He seemed more meddlesome than I thought.

Then again, the reason I died was because he tried to help me when I shouldn’t have been bothered.

I looked at the man without a word.

He sat down gently on the ground, as if to show consideration.

“I’m fine…”

I was about to say I was fine, to not worry, and smile.

But something welled up in my throat.

Actually, I wasn’t fine.

I just wanted to escape.

My foot was amputated, I was drugged, and now my mind was gradually breaking.

“…I’m not fine.”

As soon as I spoke honestly.

Tears began to stream down my face.

I shouldn’t cry, but once the tears started, they wouldn’t stop.

“*sob* *hic* I, I… *hic* What’s going to happen to me now? *sob*”

I tried my best to stifle my cries so as not to wake Scarlett.

But I couldn’t stop the tears and sobs that fell.

The man watched me silently.

Then, he gently touched my hand with his finger.

“I’ve tweaked the markings a bit. Now you’ll have a higher acquisition rate and maximum capacity, and you’ll be able to see the numbers.”

Then, the man, who had removed his finger.

Poof-

Silently hugged me.

Even though it was clearly an illusion.

For some reason, the warmth of his body was conveyed to me.

The warmth of another person.

A warmth filled with pure kindness, not lust.

How long has it been since I felt this?

His gesture made me cry again.

I continued to cry until my eyes were wet and my clothes were stained.

The man held me silently until my crying stopped.

And when my tears finally ceased.

“…Steel your heart.”

He said softly and directly.

And then, as usual, he vanished with a swish.

Now, only Scarlett and I were left in the room.

But something that had been painfully pressing on my chest was gone.

It was a sense of relief I hadn’t felt in a long time.

****

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

A surprisingly bright answer.

At my voice, Scarlett’s eyes widened slightly.

My energy level was quite different from usual.

Was it because I’d had a good release yesterday?

I kissed Scarlett’s cheek with a calm expression.

Scarlett seemed a little surprised, but didn’t seem to mind.

She then smiled and went out the door to get our meal.

Creak-

As she left the room, I got up and flung open the window.

A refreshing breeze greeted me.

The incense burning behind me still gave off a sweet aroma.

The outside air seemed to make me feel a little better.

I raised my hand and gazed at the tiny bit of marking left on my palm.

“1500/20”

These were the numbers written below the marking.

She had said I could accommodate 1000 mana before.

Was it pity, or meddling?

My maximum capacity had increased by a whole 500.

“Since the exploration spell will cost about 25 mana…”

I could use magic now.

After vigorously rubbing my vulva to gain 5 more points, I activated the exploration spell.

Fwoosh-

A cone-shaped exploration radius shot forward.

Unless they had other devices, they wouldn’t know I used magic.

At the same time, information about my surroundings flooded my mind.

I focused my mind as much as possible to filter out unnecessary information.

Using magic wasn’t as difficult as I thought.

I knew the theory well; all I needed was mana.

Finally, the environmental exploration within a 1km radius was complete.

“There’s really nothing around here.”

Beyond what I could see.

There were only trees, grass, and wild animals.

The most peculiar thing was that bears and wolves inhabited the forest.

Since the forest surrounded this mansion, it meant they were everywhere.

It was strange enough that the mansion was in such a secluded place.

But the wild beasts in the forest, and the patrolling servants’ reactions like ‘I preferred the prison’.

Everything was a mystery.

Creak-

Just as I was about to close the window.

Scarlett entered the room with food.

I flinched slightly and closed the window.

“Were you looking at the scenery outside? There’s nothing but forest.”

“I was feeling a bit stifled.”

“…Here, I brought steak today. You liked meat, right? Sit here.”

She immediately changed the subject when I mentioned feeling stifled.

She didn’t seem to like me showing interest in the ‘outside’.

Scarlett, who had been closing the window herself.

Her gaze shifted to my slightly damp hand.

Then, with a swish, she lifted her skirt.

“Hya…”

“Were you doing it alone? You should have said something.”

Slurp, slurp.

Scarlett, blushing, licked the lubricant off her fingers and cleaned it.

At that sight, I felt my lower body heat up without realizing it.

Was this a learned response from repeated pleasure?

Now, even seeing Scarlett do such things made my body heat up.

“For now… food comes first. Eat first, then we’ll do it. I’ll wait for you?”

She beckoned me as if seducing me.

She slowly took off her clothes, revealing her smooth body, and lay down on the bed.

Looking closely, she was holding a small bag in her other hand.

It seemed to be something she’d use today.

I managed to tear my gaze away from Scarlett, who was masturbating, and slowly finished my meal.

It was because if I ate too quickly, I’d seem eager to have sex with Scarlett.

With that meaningless act of defiance, I stood up.

Rustle-

She took something out of the bag.

“That’s…”

What she took out this time was a small pill.

It had a distinctly different design from the usual aphrodisiacs.

Is she planning to drug me again and play with me?

But I wouldn’t fall for it so easily this time.

“Want to come here?”

Scarlett beckoned me with her hand.

With a slight sense of tension, I approached, and she placed the pill on her tongue.

I knew what she was trying to do.

I silently pressed my lips to Scarlett’s.

“Slurp… Ah…”

At the same time, we shared a deep kiss.

Scarlett always fed me the medicine mouth-to-mouth.

I didn’t know why.

But when we kissed deeply, I could better feel Scarlett’s scent and taste.

As our tongues mingled, I found myself unconsciously embracing her.

“Pah…”

Finally, the kiss ended, and as the pill went down my throat.

She then smiled and laid me down on the bed.

“No reaction?”

Squish, squish-

Scarlett rubbed her vulva and then, with her hand smeared with lubricant, rubbed my crack.

“Phew…”

All that came out of my mouth was a breathy moan.

It seemed she planned to have sex with just our bodies today, not using any other tools or drugs.

The sticky sensation brushed between my cracks.

Then, her fingers slowly entered my canal.

Before, even one finger was a struggle.

Now, two fingers slowly swirled at the entrance of my canal.

“Ugh, Haa…”

Moreover, the thought of her lubricant entering me.

Strangely made me feel aroused.

I didn’t know the purpose of the pill she gave me.

Except for a slight throbbing in my abdomen.

There was no excitement or pleasure.

I exhaled and slightly trembled my abdomen.

Sluuurp-

Scarlett then pulled her hand out and sucked on it, licking the lubricant.

She looked even more aroused as she pressed her vulva against mine.

The most traditional position, and good for feeling body heat.

Squish, squish-

“Haa, Ugh…”

Scarlett moaned as she moved her hips.

Her hip movements were truly erotic.

She rubbed her clit and canal entrance appropriately, then crossed her vulva against mine.

Our vulvas met in a plus shape.

Our cracks fit together perfectly, like intricate wood carvings.

Then Scarlett tightly gripped my thighs.

Squish, squish, she vigorously moved her vulva horizontally.

Lubricant flowed, and our bodies heated up.

Scarlett’s face was completely red, and she moved her hips with an ecstatic expression.

“Miss… Miss…”

I tightly gripped the bedsheets and desperately called out to Scarlett.

“Ugh, Ugh, Haa…”

She continuously moaned, as if sighing.

Squish, squish-

I tried to maintain my sanity, but.

Scarlett’s voice and the sweet scent kept tormenting my mind.

She’s so beautiful. That was the only thought I had.

Thump.

“Why… are you doing that…?”

With that thought, I unconsciously grabbed her legs.

Scarlett showed a momentarily surprised expression.

But I didn’t care, and this time, I vigorously moved my hips.

“I want to cum… I want to cum…”

I wanted to leave my mark on her.

I wanted to show my love with something sticky.

That vague impulse made my hips move wildly.

Squish, squish, squish, squish-

“J-Just a moment! Too, rough…”

Scarlett, who was trying to stop my movements, tilted her head back.

At the same time, her beautiful belly trembled.

She gripped the bedsheets tightly and silently squirted lubricant.

She just moaned heavily without a word.

“Ugh… Ah, Ugh… Hiyyaa…”

Her cute moans made my hip movements faster.

I was rubbing my vulva diligently, and I felt a tingling sensation starting to rise.

Ziiiiiiip-

At the same time, I also squirted lubricant.

Our breaths mingled, and as we dripped water, I grabbed Scarlett’s cheek.

“Hya… Slurp…”

Then I put my tongue in and kissed her deeply.

I was out of breath, but I continued to kiss her without caring.

Scarlett’s eyes were becoming moist with ecstatic pleasure.

As she trembled and climaxed once more.

I panted and pulled away.

But then.

Sting.

A strange stinging sensation passed through my abdomen.

Wondering what it was, I lowered my flushed face.

“Is this…?”

Between my navel and my vulva, a beautiful tattoo-like mark was etched.

At least, if my eyes weren’t deceiving me.

It was a Yin-Yang symbol.
