The Fluid is Magic

Roderick stared at Serina, dumbfounded.

“Roderick, is this all you have for clothes?”

“Ah, please, have a seat. Um… sit down, Miss Serina.”

Roderick stammered, seemingly flustered.

Serina noticed sweat trickling down Roderick’s temple.

‘What’s with this guy?’

“Why are you using honorifics all of a sudden?”

Serina grumbled as she tried to sit on the chair.

However, the puffed-up skirt of her dress made her posture awkward.

She looked uncomfortable.

“You look like a country bumpkin.”

“What’s it to you?”

Roderick didn’t mind Serina’s curt reply.

Just then, the butler who had been waiting approached.

“Today, we have prepared Northern duck dishes along with several side dishes.”

The two focused on their meal without much conversation.

Serina’s eyes sparkled as she put the duck in her mouth.

‘What is this? Why is it so delicious?’

She stuffed her cheeks full and chewed.

‘Her mouth is smaller than I thought.’

Roderick chuckled and resumed eating.

Serina mumbled, still chewing.

“Goo ren dye… Ma mool ee goo rukkye na mana?”

“Don’t you usually swallow your food before speaking?”

Gulp-

“I swallowed it all, though?”

“Honestly, it’s been getting busier lately. To be honest, I could use two bodies.”

“For someone so busy, you even came to the black market yourself.”

Serina said, subtly sarcastic.

Roderick put down his fork and paused for a moment.

“… My sister disappeared.”

Serina’s face hardened, and she couldn’t say anything.

Feeling sorry, she lowered her head.

The dress she was wearing came into view.

And suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked.

“Could it be….”

“Yes. That dress was my sister’s favorite.”

A complex emotion flickered in Roderick’s eyes.

“She disappeared after going out to meet the residents. I asked around and searched everywhere, but it was all in vain. Then I learned about the existence of the black market….”

“Did you find any clues?”

“I think I found a place that is believed to be the headquarters of the black market.”

Serina’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s go right now.”

“Calm down, we still need to investigate more.”

Serina couldn’t hide her anger.

She remembered the humiliation of being a commodity, and Harben, who claimed to be in the trading business, was also involved with the black market.

“Thanks for the thought, but recovering your strength is the priority.”

Roderick calmed her down.

Serina took a moment to catch her breath and met Roderick’s eyes.

“I heard you received the title of Marshal.”

“It’s just for show. It’s nothing special.”

“Then… can you also wield Mana?”

“How do you know that? Hmm, I’m getting more curious about your background.”

He looked at Serina with curious eyes.

“If you can’t imbue Mana into a sword, the name of Marshal would be embarrassing.”

Serina cheered inwardly.

In the early dawn, Roderick was receiving reports from the soldiers lined up outside the castle.

“We have driven all the Goblin groups to the north! The Orcs are still fighting hard, but we will be able to completely wipe them out soon!”

Roderick’s expression was satisfied as he listened to the report.

However, his face hardened at the following words.

“However, the place believed to be the headquarters of the black market has once again vanished without a trace.”

Roderick’s fist clenched.

‘Did we miss it again?’

At that moment, the gazes of the lined-up soldiers all turned to one side.

Roderick followed their gaze and turned his head.

In the distance, Serina was walking towards them.

“Dismissed!”

At Roderick’s command, the soldiers laughed and whispered.

“Marquess, is that your lover?”

“Please introduce us!”

“Wow… where did you find someone like that!”

The soldiers spoke casually to Roderick, not caring.

Roderick frowned.

“It’s not like that, so hurry up and dismiss!”

The soldiers chuckled and dispersed, and Roderick looked at Serina and asked.

“Did you sleep well?”

Serina thought the timing was good, seeing the soldiers dispersing.

‘Good, I can speak comfortably.’

“You can smile too. What’s going on from dawn? I heard pretty girls sleep a lot.”

Roderick asked, slightly surprised.

Serina spoke bluntly without trying to embellish.

“Teach me how to wield Mana.”

Roderick readily agreed and headed to the training grounds.

However, he asked Serina several questions along the way.

Why do you want to wield Mana?

Have you ever used Mana before?

Or do you have someone to take revenge on?

Serina answered all the questions vaguely.

It was difficult to explain about her Trait, and besides, the target of her revenge was not yet clear.

She wanted to give the goddess a taste of her own medicine….

‘But that’s only if I can meet her.’

Right now, she just needed the power to protect herself.

When they arrived at the training grounds, Roderick gestured towards the many weapons hanging on one side of the wall.

“Mana is basically most efficiently used by imbuing it into weapons. For example, if you hold a sword, it’s easier to imbue Mana according to the shape of the sword you’re holding.”

Then he told Serina to choose a weapon she liked.

There were various types of weapons, such as swords, axes, maces, spears, and whips.

‘Is a whip a weapon too?’

She approached the side where familiar swords were displayed.

While Serina was choosing a sword, Roderick picked up a wooden sword made of wood.

“Mana is the power to contain nature. There is power in everything you can see, and you concentrate that power into the sword.”

A blue Aura began to swirl around Roderick’s wooden sword.

“Like this.”

He lightly swung it at a scarecrow.

The wooden sword made a dull sound as if it were a steel sword, splitting the scarecrow in half.

“Now, give it a try.”

Serina lifted the sword with a serious expression.

She frowned and swung it around for a while.

The sword only cut through the air, and nothing happened.

Roderick looked at Serina and said.

“Actually, anyone can wield Mana. But it’s difficult to feel Mana in the first place. If you can’t feel it, you can’t wield it.”

Serina paused for a moment to think.

‘Is there no other way? But….’

Serina sighed.

“Roderick, please turn around for a moment. Don’t turn around until I tell you to. Okay?”

It was an absurd request, but Roderick turned his back without any questions.

Serina swallowed hard.

Her expression was serious, as if she had made up her mind.

She reached into her clothes.

Her fingers groped and touched her nipple.

Her heart was racing like crazy.

Current Pleasure Meter: 28 percent.

It was higher than usual.

The thought of doing something lewd in secret seemed to have raised the meter even higher.

She already felt like she was about to moan.

Serina bit her lip tightly.

Her eyes were fixed on Roderick.

‘Don’t look. Don’t look. Ah-eum.’

But stimulating her breasts alone was not enough to exceed 50 percent.

Current Pleasure Meter: 45 percent.

She lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand.

Serina’s legs were slowly spreading apart.

It was like she was riding a horse.

Vaginal fluid was already flowing down the inside of her thighs.

‘I’m such a slut….’

If her fingers touched her pussy now, she might not be able to hold back a moan.

But she couldn’t give up here.

“Heu-heut.”

As expected, as soon as she touched her labia, a jolt of electricity struck her lower body.

A low moan escaped from her lips.

Roderick only tilted his head, not turning around.

Serina’s eyes glared at the back of Roderick’s head as she spread her fingers.

She used her index and ring fingers to spread her labia.

She rubbed her already wet clitoris with her middle finger.

“Euep. Hick.”

“Serina, don’t push yourself. It’s not easy to feel Mana from the beginning.”

Roderick thought Serina was pushing herself too hard.

Serina opened her mouth, her mind hazy.

“Fee, feel? Heuhang.”

Roderick was flustered by the sensual answer.

‘Wh, what is that voice….’

“Hey, Serina. Are you okay?”

“Ah-heut. Don’t turn around! Don’t turn… ha-heut. Ma!”

Serina’s hand was soaked with Vaginal fluid.

At the same time, the corners of her lips twitched.

“Hee….”

Current Pleasure Meter: 95 percent.

Serina’s fingers moved even faster.

‘Oh-ook!’

Current Pleasure Meter: 98 percent.

Faster.

Current Pleasure Meter: 100 percent.

Energy is being converted into Mana.

Heuhaaaaaaang-!!!

At the moment of climax, Serina’s body stiffened.

It was an ecstasy that felt like her brain was melting.

Her legs trembled, and she almost collapsed to the floor.

Vaginal fluid spurted out between her legs, soaking the bottom of her dress.

Then, a languidness that felt like all her muscles had relaxed enveloped her entire body.

“Roderick…….”

Her voice, weak and limp, barely called his name.

When he turned his head, Serina was standing there, barely holding onto the sword, sweating profusely.

The floor was wet with an unknown liquid.

Then a purple Aura enveloped Serina’s sword.

The Aura was much thicker than the blue Aura Roderick had shown earlier.

‘No way….’

Roderick was shocked.

It was similar to when he gathered Mana with almost all his strength.

Serina seemed to be struggling to smile.

“Success…?”

“How on earth….”

Roderick muttered before regaining his senses.

“To not only feel Mana but also contain it…. Now, swing it at the scarecrow.”

Serina’s purple sword smoothly cut through the scarecrow.

She felt no resistance in her palm.

“You learn one thing and do two or three.”

Roderick’s praise was sincere.

“This much is nothing….”

Before Serina could finish her boastful words, she felt her vision darken.

The sword she was holding slipped from her hand.

She closed her eyes and fell forward.

Trait level has increased.

▷ Trait Lv.2: Pleasure

Mana conversion efficiency is increased.

Mental fatigue is reduced.

“Serina!”

Roderick rushed over and picked her up.

Serina’s limp body was full of moisture.

“So much sweat….”

The moment he thought she was being silly, a scent slightly different from sweat brushed past his nose.

It was a sweet and sensual, strange fragrance.

Roderick felt his face flush.

‘Geez, what an unpredictable woman.’

Roderick picked up Serina and left the training grounds.
