Are You a Virgin? (Yes / No)

“Um… What’s going on?”

I asked her after seeing the attendants standing behind her.

Bringing attendants meant she was here on an official schedule as the Duchess of Silvesta.

She probably wasn’t here for revenge.

“You told me to come in a week.”

“Ah.”

That’s right.

After Helen Silvesta’s illusion magic test, I had said something to her.

-Come back in a week. We’ll do the survey then. Until then, try to recall Helen’s desires as much as possible.

That was today, huh?

“So, you came all the way here as the Duchess of Silvesta?”

I looked at the attendants.

Two knights, five maids, and ten soldiers.

And a shiny silver carriage that Helen seemed to have arrived in.

Bringing such a procession to a small shop in the same imperial capital.

I heard that Marquis Silvesta had more power and wealth than most dukes in the empire.

‘To be able to flaunt it like this even when coming to a place like this.’

I’m jealous, though.

Some people can’t even afford the shop rent and have to work part-time.

“Yeah. I clearly said it, didn’t I? That I would come as the Duchess of Silvesta then. What, don’t tell me you forgot?”

“Forgot? No way.”

I forgot.

Of course, I had already made a survey list for her, but if I had remembered properly, I wouldn’t have been watching Nanako videos.

‘It’s a good thing there was an error.’

Otherwise, I would have run out of mana and wouldn’t have been able to do it.

“Come on in.”

I was about to open the shop door and receive Helen when.

“My lady, it’s not a good idea to go into such a suspicious shop.”

It was the knight who had been giving me unfriendly looks since I first opened the shop door.

The man, wearing shining silver armor like the symbol of the Silvesta Knights, approached me warily.

“It’s a shop full of suspicious rumors. There are even rumors that the shop owner sold his soul to the devil.”

What?

Such rumors have spread about my shop?

Sold my soul to the devil?

I was just trying to make people happy with illusion magic.

And none of you even came.

This is unfair.

“We don’t know what that man will do to you, my lady. It would be better to go back now…”

The look in his eyes glaring at me was as fierce as if he were glaring at an enemy.

Anyone would think I had done something to Helen.

‘Well, I did.’

I just didn’t have sex with her, but I saw a lot of her lewdness.

I even put my dick between her breasts.

‘This is a bit of a guilty conscience.’

I couldn’t say anything even if Helen went back here.

What can I do?

It’s natural for people who have heard rumors slandering our shop to react like that.

But Helen’s reaction was different from what I expected.

“Who said you could dare to interfere?”

“Ah, my lady?”

Helen glared at the knight who had stepped between me and her and said.

“I clearly told you, didn’t I? That you’re just for show. Do you think I, who have received the blessing of the spirits, need the protection of ordinary knights?”

Helen’s voice, scolding the knight, was as cold as the north wind.

“My lady, I, I…”

“If you’re going to talk about loyalty or something, shut up. The very fact that you, who are nothing more than a decoration, dared to stop me from doing what I was doing is disloyal.”

Harsh.

I shrugged my shoulders at the knight as a sign of consolation.

I know it well because I’ve been through it too.

Your lady has a bit of a bad temper, right?

I sympathize.

But whether my intention was misunderstood, the knight’s eyes looking at me began to burn even more fiercely.

Geez, people are such jerks even when you worry about them.

“I’m sorry.”

“If you know, get lost.”

Helen waved her hand.

“Anyway, there’s no place for you guys in this shop, so go back to the mansion until I call you with the spirits. Or kill time at a nearby restaurant.”

“But my lady, we…”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said I don’t need you guys.”

The knight clenched his fist, but there was nothing he could dare to say to Helen.

“I understand.”

The knight, unable to beat Helen, bowed his head and stepped back.

The sight of the knight walking away powerlessly was somehow similar to that of an office worker being scolded by his boss, and it was heartbreaking.

That’s why you should have known when to get out while watching your boss’s mood appropriately.

While I was watching the Silvesta attendants walking away, Helen tugged at my sleeve.

“What are you doing? Let’s go in.”

“Is it okay to send them away like that? You said it was an official schedule for the Duchess of Silvesta.”

“That’s right.”

“I naturally thought those knights would beat me up.”

Helen’s expression crumpled at my words.

As if she had heard something ridiculous.

“What? Why would I? Are you talking about that illusion you showed me and humiliating me?”

“Of course. The Silvesta young lady was so furious at that time.”

Her face slightly flushed, she looked at me quietly and then turned her head away.

“…I was angry at first, but when I thought about it, it didn’t happen in reality, did it? And it’s not like such a loser could actually do that to me, and my father wouldn’t abandon me.”

She’s a surprisingly strong-willed type.

“I see. Then you could have come privately, couldn’t you?”

“My pride wouldn’t allow it.”

“Pride?”

“Yeah. I had to show the majesty of Silvesta once so that you would treat me properly, wouldn’t you?”

It wouldn’t change the illusion, though.

I don’t understand the minds of noble ladies.

“I understand. Then let’s proceed with the survey. As I said before, just write down the Silvesta young lady’s desires honestly. There will be several questions, so please answer them all honestly.”

I was about to take out Helen’s customized survey form.

“Why do you keep calling me Silvesta young lady since a while ago?”

“Excuse me?”

“You called me by my name last time, so why are you calling me Silvesta young lady now?”

“Didn’t you hate it?”

I saw it in the illusion.

How she treated those who dared to call her by her name.

She was prouder than anyone of being a member of the Silvesta family.

Besides, wasn’t she the one who said that only family members could call her by her name?

‘I called her by her name on purpose back then to make the image in the illusion feel a little more real.’

There’s no need to do that now.

“Teacher is okay.”

“…?”

I’m okay?

“Teacher is a skilled magician, after all. Honestly, I looked down on even the top professors at the academy, but I never felt that way about Teacher’s magic. Rather, I felt a wall.”

Helen, looking at me, crossed her arms.

“You can be happy. Honestly, you’re the only teacher I’ve ever acknowledged.”

Wait a minute, the title she’s calling me seems to have changed.

“You’re calling me teacher.”

“Well… I said I acknowledge you, so I can’t keep calling you you.”

Her face was flushed red.

Was it because it was the first time she had acknowledged someone?

She’s a surprisingly shy young lady.

“I understand. Then I’ll call you Helen from now on.”

“Okay.”

“Then, Helen, let’s start the survey. Just write down your desires honestly. You’ve already shown me all sorts of things, so what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

I handed her the form.

“Hmph, I know it too, you know?”

Helen, who received the form and read the first line, screamed.

“Hey! You, are you crazy?”

She’s back to calling me you from teacher.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? You can say that even after seeing this question?”

She shouted, pointing to the first line of the survey form.

-Are you a virgin? (Yes / No)

“To, to ask a noble young lady whether she’s a virgin or not! How rude is that…”

Helen’s face turned red, and she couldn’t finish her sentence.

She’s more shy than I thought.

“I told you, you have to be honest with your desires, right?”

“Y, you!!! You perverted bastard!”

***

Helen Silvesta, who returned to the mansion after experiencing Max’s illusion magic, was in a dilemma.

“What should I do?”

She, the young lady of Silvesta, had shown a disgraceful appearance in front of a man.

Several times, too.

Of course, it was all her own doing.

At first, she went to exploit Yuris’s weaknesses and was humiliated, and then she went to find out Max’s intentions when he came to her academy.

Everything didn’t go according to her intentions and she was swayed by Max, but she didn’t feel bad about it.

‘Actually, it felt good.’

It was the first time she had felt such a sensation.

Helen, a well-bred noble young lady, was a pure virgin who had never had relations with a man.

So it must be more deeply remembered in her head.

Max looking down at her.

His thick fingers.

His chest, which was wider than hers.

His hot lips and.

Even the grotesquely shaped male genitalia that was standing firm.

Surely the one who tormented her in the illusion was the loser Aison, but the image that remained in Helen’s head was Max’s appearance.

“Haa, haa.”

Max’s words to be honest with her desires.

-Until you come next time, recall your desires.

Those words to recall her desires keep lingering in her head.

No sooner had those words ended than the insults she had suffered came to mind.

Max pressing down on her.

He was holding a whip.

“You’re a failure. How can you not even get this right?”

A failure?

Me?

“Professor…”

No.

I’m the greatest genius.

Everyone at the academy acknowledges it.

Even Professor Simonde, the best spirit mage professor.

My father cherishes me the most, too.

I’m a genius.

A genius.

“You didn’t get a single one right out of 20 questions.”

No.

That can’t be.

I just want to trample you someday.

“Is this the pathetic performance you wanted to show me?”

“Are you saying you took the test to flaunt your miserable grades as a failure?”

No.

I wanted to somehow break through your illusion magic…

I wanted to win.

The powerful ego that wouldn’t allow anyone to be above her was the force that drove Helen Sylvesta.

She had always lived a life of praise and admiration.

So, she wanted to beat Max no matter what.

She wanted to uncover the secrets of his magic.

Max was the first person to make Helen, who had shown genius in every field, feel a wall.

She wanted to stand above him and say,

“Max, I beat you.”

“Just like those other lousy professors.”

That’s what she had to do.

“To miss such easy questions, Miss Helen, you might need to take remedial classes.”

Helen shivered at Max’s words echoing in her head.

Each word looking down on her acted as a catalyst, amplifying her pleasure.

Her lower abdomen grew hot.

It pounded as if her uterus had a heart.

“Professor…”

Squelch, squelch.

She realized that her lower body had been wet for some time.

And her hand went inside her panties.

“Please, teach me, a failure.”

She confronted her desires for the first time.

A week later, when she faced Max again.

“Lady Sylvesta?”

She felt inexplicably angry at Max’s cold attitude.

That was why she snapped at the knight.

Actually, she didn’t bring the escort to be acknowledged as Lady Sylvesta.

Her butler had asked her to take guards and attendants because she had been moving too privately lately.

But suddenly, he was putting up a wall like this.

He had clearly called her by her first name last time.

“You can be happy, you know. Honestly, you’re the only professor I’ve ever acknowledged.”

“I understand. Then I’ll call you Miss Helen from now on as well.”

“Good.”

She even felt a strange sense of relief when he called her Helen again.

‘He’s following my lead.’

It feels like things will go well today.

Of course.

Her face turned red again at the question:

“Are you a virgin? (Yes / No)”

“You perverted bastard!”

She lashed out at Max, but secretly circled ‘Yes’.

“I-It’s just a survey, so I have to do it! Just so you know!”

Helen continued the survey with a flushed face.

And she confronted her desires once again.
