Take Responsibility

Veronica, holding the box in her hand, looked at the girl in front of her with a complicated expression.

Setting aside the fact that she was asking for essence from another woman… did she have no shame?

Veronica observed Asha’s face once more. Anxiety was evident on her face. Her under-eyes looked a little dark, as if she hadn’t slept well.

A pair of emerald eyes, looking almost pitiful, gazed at Veronica.

The words that came out of her mouth, however… were anything but.

While she was happy that Asha had come to her for a favor, a part of her also thought, ‘Isn’t it just me anyway?’ As she was thinking this, Asha’s voice reached her ears.

“…Is it still a bit difficult?”

“Ah, no. I’ll do it, no big deal.”

Still, she had come to her for a favor. Both last night and now, these were things Veronica had never experienced during her Academy days, and she felt quite pleased about it.

Therefore, she accepted.

At that, the girl’s face brightened. Thinking of a girl whose face brightened at the mention of receiving essence might have made one feel a bit strange, but Veronica had no such thoughts in her mind.

“…I’ll bring it to you myself, so could you wait outside… no, in your room?”

“Ah, th-that’s fine.”

However, she wasn’t entirely without embarrassment, so she first sent Asha back before opening the box. A familiar, pure white pill was visible.

Veronica carefully took the contents out of the box and rolled it in her palm. Seeing its round shape, Veronica felt a strange sensation.

The reason she had come here initially was because of this… but now, she thought it didn’t really matter. More shocking was the true identity of that pill… that it was Cecil’s essence.

‘If that child’s essence is available….’

Veronica shook her head vigorously. She thought that was far from what Asha desired.

“What on earth was I thinking….”

Veronica sighed softly and brought the pill to her mouth. Just before the pill touched her soft tongue, a sudden surge of anxiety made her stop her hand.

If Asha returns to normal after researching my essence… won’t things go back to how they were? The relationship that stood at a slightly ambiguous point between friend and classmate now seems… quite intimate, doesn’t it?

Their relationship, which had seen no progress, had changed quite dramatically with the change in Asha’s body. Thinking this, Veronica couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

But… if she returns… wouldn’t it be possible to advance the relationship further? I… don’t know. Ugh, my head hurts.

Veronica gave up thinking. Perhaps it was due to the stress of suddenly being tasked with potion making, but her head throbbed with an unsolvable dilemma.

So, instead of thinking, she chewed and swallowed the pill. This was, after all, something Asha had requested, so there was no need to hesitate.

Contrary to Veronica’s expectation that it would be tasteless, like the one she had eaten before, the pill tasted like her favorite fruit.

Veronica let out a small chuckle, and with a feeling of something boiling in her lower abdomen… she felt something, now somewhat familiar, surge forth.

“…I can’t get used to this.”

Feeling her underwear stretching, Veronica hastily took it off. It wouldn’t tear, but… it would be troublesome if it stretched out.

Having removed her underwear, Veronica visually confirmed the rod that had sprung forth from her. Indeed… it was a shape she couldn’t get used to.

“…It feels a bit different from before? Ah….”

When she had eaten it in a highly aroused state, it had stood stiffly, but now, perhaps because the current situation was far from that, it was slightly droopy.

Veronica’s face flushed as she quickly understood the situation.

“Damn it….”

Veronica, who had thought it would just happen on its own after she ate it, now felt helpless.

What do men have to do to… get aroused? Do the things attached to me get aroused by what makes men aroused? Then what should I do…?

Veronica felt her head throb once more.

…Ultimately, there was only one person who could tell her how to solve this problem, so she… tidied her clothes and opened the door.

She crossed the corridor to ask Asha, who was waiting for the essence.

Veronica rubbed her head and thought.

She felt bitter at the fact that she used to make so many potions, enough to make her head throb, all by herself without help.

‘I still haven’t reached that level.’

Feeling a little depressed, Veronica weakly knocked on the door. Then… as if she had been waiting, Asha appeared in the crack of the door.

Soon, Asha confirmed Veronica’s empty hands and tilted her head.

Veronica avoided her gaze and opened her mouth.

“…It didn’t get big.”

“Ah….”

Asha, understanding the situation instantly, quickly pulled Veronica inside before anyone could see.

She thought it was the same situation as when she extracted it from Cecil.

Still, this time the mental burden was less. Judging from her experience when Ariel swayed her hips… she didn’t think the essence Veronica would produce would have the same estrus-inducing effect as Cecil’s.

Even so… what should she do?

Asha recalled memories from her previous life. She remembered stories that when semen was tested at a hospital, no matter how old-fashioned, they would give something vulgarly called ‘masturbation aid’.

…So, should she prepare something? No, isn’t it just for this one time?

She had kissed Cecil… but Asha thought Veronica might be displeased, so she couldn’t help but ponder.

Why did she have to rack her brain to make someone else’s erect…? She felt a bit self-deprecating about it, but she also thought it was right to take responsibility since she was the one who asked for it.

First… wouldn’t Veronica’s wishes be important?

However, Veronica’s question came faster than Asha’s prolonged 고민 (deliberation).

“Um… is there something to think about? You said you extracted it from Cecil, so something similar happened… can’t you just do what you did then?”

“Ah… um.”

Asha’s face turned red.

At that, Veronica’s eyes narrowed.

What kind of shameless act did she commit to get a reaction like that?

“…What did you do?”

“No… that….”

Veronica pressed Asha, who was stammering, to extract the truth. At the answer that flowed from Asha’s lips, Veronica’s face hardened. Perhaps it was due to the headache that had been assailing her for a while, but she looked a little… grim.

“…Then do it to me too.”

“Huh?”

“Do it… like you did to Cecil.”

Asha, who had somehow been pushed back to the bed, hesitated.

Is it okay… to do it? Veronica knows my original form, so is it really okay? To think deeply about it….

Veronica’s face, throbbing with a headache, looked too grim.

What was so displeasing? It was something she had to do for an experiment… just once.

Asha sighed and approached Veronica.

‘Then if I do both… it should be fine, right?’

“…If you’re okay with it.”

“Uh, ugh… uh… yes.”

Only then did Veronica realize what she had said, and her face flushed belatedly. Though it wasn’t clearly visible to the determined Asha.

The two quietly faced each other.

“I’m doing it?”

“Uh, ugh, yes.”

Asha’s lips met Veronica’s, who was nodding in affirmation like a broken clock.

Moist, soft lips touched and intertwined. Asha, who slowly tapped Veronica’s lips as if knocking, then licked her moist lips with a lukewarm tongue. With just that, Veronica felt her body tremble slightly.

Without knowing what emotion she should feel, she opened her mouth and accepted the slightly warmed tongue. Soon, they inhaled each other’s exhaled breaths, and their tongues intertwined, saliva beginning to mix.

The chup, chup sounds of water being taken in echoed in their ears. That too felt like a great stimulation. Veronica felt the presence of the object that had sprung up tautly. She didn’t know whether to be pleased or embarrassed that it had grown so large with just a kiss.

However… she hid it from Asha for a moment. Because she wanted to… do it a little more.

Asha, unaware, continued to intertwine their tongues. She felt as if her mind was becoming hazy.

Veronica also carefully moved her tongue, following Asha’s tongue play. Then, she unconsciously moved her hand and groped Asha’s waist.

Asha’s body flinched, but she didn’t particularly resist. In the media she had seen in her previous life… such contact was also part of skinship… so she thought it could be like that.

Meanwhile, Veronica groped Asha’s body a little more. She stroked her deeply curved waist and firm pelvis. Naturally… she recalled the memory of thrusting her rod into Asha.

At that memory, Veronica felt her rod become completely hard. To the point of pain.

She could no longer hide it. Asha’s lips, noticing the hardness, moved away from Veronica. A long silver thread connected the two of them.

Asha, breathing heavily with heated breaths, opened her mouth.

“Um… you can do it by yourself now, right…?”

Veronica, with a blank expression, unconsciously replied.

“…No.”

At Veronica’s answer, Asha’s face was filled with haziness and perplexity.

Seeing that face, Veronica….

She felt the throbbing headache that had been assailing her somehow disappear.

“I think I need a little more… help.”

Asha’s gaze went to the bulging object. Then, with a troubled expression, she turned her head away.

At that, Veronica noticed that the rod, which she thought was already completely hard, had become even firmer.

…It’s all because of Asha.

So… shouldn’t Asha take responsibility?

Veronica had already forgotten her objective of collecting essence.
