Boiling Sexual Desire

“Settlement result. 1 gold and 26 silver.”

I nodded at the settlement office employee’s words.

Combining all the magic stones we collected with those gathered by the other adventurers, it should amount to at least this much.

“Please verify it yourself. If it’s correct, please sign here.”

Inis stepped forward and counted the coins one by one. After confirming the amount, she nodded. I signed the leather paper the employee handed me.

“Thank you. Please use our services again.”

We left the settlement office.

As I walked down the street, I tapped the pouch containing the coins. Each tap produced a jingling sound. It felt good just hearing it.

If just 2 gold coins made me feel this good, what would happen when I received the 100 gold coin reward? I might not be able to contain myself. It was an amount I’d never handled before in my life.

“Come on, move aside! Make way!”

The road was particularly congested today. I slipped into an alley to avoid a carriage that had mounted the sidewalk.

“I wonder if Isabella is okay?”

Inis asked quietly as we watched the carriages pass by. I nodded calmly.

“She’ll be fine. Well, it might be embarrassing for her. But it was her suggestion, right? So she has to deal with it.”

Originally, I had planned to take her to the inn for a bath. I wanted her to change into clean clothes and go to the guild together, but she said she would go alone.

She insisted she would bring the reward herself, so I let her go. I was also uncomfortable with the idea of talking to guild employees, so I agreed.

Someone else might have betrayed us, but she was now bound to me. So I could trust her.

‘Though it’s not Isabella I trust, but Egun’s ability.’

I took out a cigarette and put it in my mouth. While in the labyrinth, I hadn’t even taken them out, wanting to conserve magic power.

“I’ll just smoke one.”

“Ah, yes. Smoke as much as you like!”

I summoned a flame to light it.

“Inhale…”

As I drew deeply on the cigarette, my hazy mind became sharply clear. This is why I couldn’t quit.

I heard there are cigarettes made by alchemists with even better effects. Maybe I should buy those when I get the reward? A lighter would be nice to have too.

“Exhale… hehe…”

“Why are you laughing?”

When I exhaled smoke with a small laugh, Inis expressed her curiosity. It was a bit random.

“Suddenly having money makes me think about things I wouldn’t even dare consider before because they were too expensive. Should I buy this? Should I buy that? I find my own contemplation a bit amusing.”

“Ah~ I understand that feeling. I’ve also been thinking about all sorts of things. Even though it’s not my money…”

“Not your money? Technically, Inis, you have a right to part of the reward too.”

“A slave’s possessions all belong to the master.”

“If there’s something you want, just tell me. As long as it’s not too expensive, I can certainly buy it for you.”

Inis thought for a moment. She glanced at me and then spoke.

“Then just a longsword…”

“Of course I’ll buy that for you. You need it to enter the labyrinth. Is there nothing else you need?”

“Well, a helmet and alchemist-made potions would be nice. Bandages soaked in herbal water would make it even more perfect.”

“Besides items that help in the labyrinth, isn’t there anything you personally want?”

How odd that everything she mentioned was practical. I thought she would say she needed some pretty accessories or something. Isn’t that what women want?

“Not really… Hmm. Ah!”

“What is it? What do you need?”

“I’d like a robe artifact. One with perception reduction or fixation effects, like we talked about before.”

I sighed deeply at her words. In the end, she wanted another practical item. Did she notice my feelings? Inis glanced at me cautiously and said:

“…I want to attend the swordsmanship guild. Everything I’ve learned was picked up by secretly watching or eavesdropping, so it’s inadequate. Recently, I’ve been painfully aware of my lack of proper training.”

“The swordsmanship guild.”

Even this was related to the labyrinth. It meant she wanted to become stronger.

By this point, I felt like I was the one with the wrong perspective. This is what Inis wants, so was I forcing my own expectations on her?

“But can you attend the swordsmanship guild? Oh, let’s talk while walking.”

I threw my cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with my shoe. After confirming it was extinguished, I returned to the street. Inis walked beside me.

“I doubt they’ll accept you because you’re a Teufel. Even if they did, you’d probably be ostracized and bullied…”

“Hmm. That’s certainly likely. I might even be in danger. After all, everyone attending the swordsmanship guild here would be adventurers.”

Given the nature of adventurers, this was entirely possible.

“So… it’s not possible, is it?”

“No. I would prefer you not attend the swordsmanship guild.”

I said I would grant what Inis wanted, but this was directly related to her safety. I understand her desire to become stronger. However, I didn’t want to risk her life just to learn swordsmanship.

“Yes. I’ll completely give up the idea then.”

She answered maturely. At a glance, it seemed like she had completely lost interest, but being bonded to me, I could sense her emotions to some extent.

『Inis』

『Current emotions: Regret. Sadness. A touch of anger.』

If it were displayed as a status window, it would probably look something like this. That’s how many different emotions I could feel from her.

“Inis. With the reward Isabella brings, the first thing I plan to do is buy a house on the outskirts.”

The cheapest property in Falcion was on the city outskirts and near the labyrinth. I originally considered staying near the labyrinth, but because of the high foot traffic, I decided on the outskirts.

“Yes.”

“Once we have a house, we can live comfortably on our own. Then we can try recruiting a swordsmanship instructor.”

“…A swordsmanship instructor?”

“Yes. That would be both more comfortable and safer for you to learn swordsmanship.”

“Will there be anyone willing to teach me?”

Inis asked in a dejected voice.

“Probably not. It likely won’t be easy to find someone. But at that point, we can solve it with money.”

“With money?”

“Yes. Can’t teach a Teufel? We’ll give them so much money they can’t refuse. If that doesn’t work, we can use Isabella’s connections. I’ll find you a swordsmanship instructor somehow. So just wait a little.”

“I feel like I’ve said something unnecessary… It would just be a burden on you… It’s okay… What I have now is enough…”

“Inis.”

She flinched when I just called her name.

“If you become stronger, it benefits me as your master. So don’t hold back. Become stronger and protect me. Understand? Besides, we’re family, aren’t we?”

“F-family?”

“We’re connected through Egun’s power. How could we not be family? Even if we’re not connected by blood, we’re still family.”

“F-family…”

Inis slowly lowered her head. Tears falling drop by drop.

After a moment of confusion, I carefully reached out and patted her shoulder. I could feel Inis’s feelings directly.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

『Inis』

『Current emotion: Happiness.』

The first thing we did upon arriving at the inn was take a bath. We were hungry, but our bodies felt too grimy.

“Master. A-are you okay with this?”

“Yeah. It feels good.”

I entered the bathroom with Inis again. She was covered in soap bubbles from head to toe as she washed me. I didn’t ask her to do this; she volunteered.

Scrub scrub-

The softness I felt on my back naturally made my cock erect.

“M-master. Should I do this part too…?”

A hand slipped out from between her sides. It moved downward and grabbed my cock.

Even though she just held it lightly, the stimulation was intense. To think a few days’ buildup would affect me this much. Something definitely seems to have changed since meeting Egun.

“Whew…”

I clenched my fist. Exerting superhuman patience, I gently removed her hand.

“Let’s do it tonight.”

Egun had told me earlier today that she expected payment. I should give enough to her who provided such a reward.

“Ah, yes…”

Inis became sullen. Her hands moved down and rubbed my thighs. She was deliberately trying to stimulate me.

Scrub scrub-

She wrapped her hand around my cock again. The bubbles on the surface gathered at the top and then slid down, covering the shaft.

Twirl twirl-♡

The palm of her other hand enveloped the head and made gentle circular motions.

“Ungh…”

The intense stimulation quickly built up pressure. I bit my lip hard and grabbed both of her wrists.

“Stop it.”

“Yes…”

She reluctantly let go. She meticulously cleaned all the other parts and then poured water to rinse everything off.

“Mmmm…♡”

Of course, I didn’t forget to return the favor. I rubbed Inis’s pussy with my hand and stopped just as her moans grew louder.

“Hmm… Master…♥”

She stamped her feet and grabbed my wrists with both hands. But I firmly said,

“No. Let’s get out now.”

“Yes…”

In the end, we left without resolving anything. We wiped off the moisture with bath towels and used divine power to dry our hair.

“Your ordered food is over there. That’s your usual spot, right?”

“That’s right. Thank you.”

Muffin pointed to a corner as she spoke. I gave her a silver coin as a tip and went to sit in the chair.

“You worked hard today.”

“Yes. You too, Master!”

We clinked our beer mugs together and took a swig. The cool carbonation hit my throat forcefully. A tingling sensation.

“Ahh…”

Afterward, we ate hastily. We were hungry, but our bodies were already heated up. No, the alcohol actually made it worse.

“Whew.”

When the meal was finished, we immediately went upstairs. The inn room felt particularly distant today.

Thud-

After entering, I immediately closed the door. I sat on the bed. Inis sat opposite me.

“Sigh.”

After letting out a breath, I thought about offering the next payment.

『Are you ready to make the payment?』

My heart raced at the window that appeared before my eyes. I nodded.

Woooosh-!

A red portal opened before me.
