Yuris Doesn’t Do That

“Hoo.”

After showing Yuris’s short, one-hour fantasy video and cleaning up, I smacked my lips.

‘Is she this hooked to come at this late hour?’

Honestly, I didn’t expect her to come so late.

In the Empire, where the Emperor is called the sun, almost all public officials only work when the sun is up, according to the Empire’s rules.

It wasn’t legally mandated, but the unspoken rule was that public officials, except for the patrol, knights, and guards, didn’t work at night when the Emperor’s grace didn’t reach.

‘Not that nothing is open at night.’

Bars, restaurants, and many jobs besides public service operate after dark, but most civil servants didn’t work.

Especially the Imperial Knights, I heard it was even stricter.

Unless there was a duty, mission, or training on the Knights’ schedule, they extremely avoided outside schedules at night.

‘Yuris seemed like the type to follow those rules the most strictly.’

I didn’t expect her to come at this late hour.

Even when she came after winning the mock battle against the Second Order, the sun was up.

Of course, the sun had set when she left, but she’d have that much flexibility.

“It’s good that you’re satisfied with our video, but it’s troubling if you get too addicted.”

With Yuris’s mental strength, it was unlikely, but some people who used illusion magic too much sometimes couldn’t distinguish between illusion and reality.

I couldn’t stand the thought of her health being harmed because of the illusions I sold.

‘I’ll adjust it myself, but just in case.’

Of course, I didn’t think Yuris would experience such a thing now.

However.

‘The fact that she came to our store with someone who looks like a guest from the Imperial Palace is a bit of a worrying factor.’

The woman looked like an elf.

A noble elf, at that.

She must have come as a guest of the Emperor, though I don’t know why.

To bring such a person to a place like this.

‘I did my best to soundproof it.’

But the elf’s sensitive ears must have heard it.

“Oooooh! Oh! Hnnng!!!”

Yuris’s flamboyant moans as she came.

Just one hour.

Yuris, who came just from foreplay without sex, left with a relieved face, seemingly quite satisfied.

For someone who was once the Empire’s goddess of victory to enjoy such a deviation with an important guest.

“Has she already reached the point of no return?”

It’s faster than I thought.

Or there must have been a reason why she had to bring that elf.

‘I don’t know.’

I was thinking that when I went to bed.

Knock, knock, knock.

I doubted my ears at the sound of knocking.

“Who could it be at this hour…”

It was already 12 o’clock.

Just past midnight.

A customer visiting the store at this hour?

Then they definitely wouldn’t be an ordinary Imperial citizen.

At this hour, everyone would be heading home, and even bars and entertainment districts would be winding down.

So, could it be…

‘A robber?’

No, right?

What robber would politely knock on the door?

From outside the door, I felt a pure and clean energy that didn’t seem like it belonged to a robber.

“It’s that elf from earlier.”

A feeling that made my heart cool just by sensing it.

I put on a gown to cover myself and headed for the door.

And there.

“I’ve been waiting a long time. Inferior being.”

A beautiful platinum-haired elf was glaring at me with her arms crossed.

“…What’s the matter?”

“I came because I wanted to ask you something.”

“What do you want to ask that you’ve come at this late hour?”

“What on earth did you do to Lady Yuris?”

“Excuse me?”

“Why would that noble knight come to you just to seek carnal desires?”

“…”

What is she talking about?

“Lady Yuris is a superior being, unlike you inferior beings. Like us elves. I can’t believe that such a person came to you to satisfy her lust.”

Yuris is a great person, indeed.

A symbol of the Empire’s victory.

But what does that have to do with her visiting our store?

“Did you think I wouldn’t know? Did you think I wouldn’t know what happened behind the curtain?”

“Well, I didn’t think you wouldn’t know.”

That’s why I was worried about Yuris.

“Let Yuris go. I don’t know what trick you’re using to hold her, but you’re not the kind of trash she should be with.”

“…”

Hmm, that’s difficult.

How do I explain that I’m not holding her or anything?

She’ll obviously not believe me if I tell the truth.

-Don’t talk nonsense! Lady Yuris went to you on her own? What a joke!

That’s exactly how she’d react.

“Sexual desire is one of the three basic human desires.”

“I can’t understand. That vulgar desire is a basic desire?”

“Just as you eat when you’re hungry and breathe when you’re suffocating, sexual desire is something that accumulates and must be released.”

Actually, it was closer to reproductive desire than sexual desire, but aren’t they the same thing anyway?

“…So you’re saying that Yuris is just an ordinary person who can’t overcome her desires?”

“I’m saying that Yuris is also human.”

“Ha! What a joke! Lady Yuris is not the kind of being who would be broken by mere desires!”

I don’t know.

“I think differently.”

“What?”

“Originally, desires are elements that must be resolved to live, and a driving force for living. All living things have them. You, Reina the elf, too.”

“You better shut your mouth there unless you want to see that tongue cut off.”

As soon as I put elves and humans on the same level, her expression turned fierce.

“Isn’t that so?”

“Of course not. Elves are a superior race that humans shouldn’t even attempt to stand shoulder to shoulder with!”

I’ve heard elves say things like that.

Their pride in their race is so strong that they confine themselves to the forest and become extinct so as not to get involved with other races.

But if I said that, I might get an arrow to the forehead, so let’s refrain.

“Do you even know that the very act of me talking to an inferior being like you is disgusting?”

“I don’t know about that, but how about we make a bet if you’re so confident?”

“A bet?”

“Yes. Show me that elves are a noble race that doesn’t succumb to desires.”

“Is that all you could come up with after racking your brain?”

Reina glared at me with her arms crossed.

“How do I prove it?”

“It’s simple. If you can withstand my illusion magic properly, I’ll admit that elves are a race that isn’t bound by desires.”

“You were so confident, and it’s just illusion magic?”

“That’s my specialty.”

“I thought you had some kind of secret weapon, but you’re just an illusion magician. You must have taken advantage of her weakness with some despicable trick.”

I knew it.

I knew she’d misunderstand in a ridiculous way.

“Fine. I accept that bet. But if I prove it, you better let Yuris go. She’s not someone who can be near trash like you.”

“Alright. But if I win, you have to become a customer of our store.”

“…What?”

“Even though it looks like a decent store, our income is a little tight.”

“An inferior being’s tongue sure wags fast. Fine. I’ll accept that offer. After all, it’s a bet I’m going to win anyway.”

“Then, now that we’ve finished talking, come on in.”

I took her, who was smirking, into the store.

And pointed to a room full of magic circles.

“Please answer the survey diligently here.”

“What is this…”

“It’s all magic circles for one illusion magic. It’s what will take our elf to the desires of illusion.”

“…”

She stared at the magic circles for a while.

While she was distracted, I handed Reina a survey form.

“Write it down.”

Reina’s brow furrowed as she received the form.

“Wait a minute.”

“What is it?”

“Why is there a question asking if I’m a virgin?”

“It’s a necessary procedure. I can’t go piercing a precious virgin during the illusion magic.”

“…Don’t tell me…”

“Just so you know, Lady Yuris is a clear virgin.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Reina closed her lips.

“She was a pure woman. As expected… I believed it.”

She muttered.

But is it really true that Yuris is a pure woman?

Her body is pure, but.

‘Her mind has already been violated countless times.’

Of course, her body is a virgin, so she is a virgin, but.

I suddenly wondered if that was true even by the standards of elves.

‘By their standards, it seems like her mind, body, and soul must all be virgins.’

Still, Reina’s expression didn’t seem to indicate that.

“Anyway, it’s best to write down your preferences properly. That way, it’ll be easier for both you and me.”

It was obvious that it would be tiring in many ways if I wrote down false sexual desires.

The reason was simple.

There was a possibility that the magic circle, which had realized that the user’s desires were not real, would go berserk on its own.

All sorts of tastes could come out to find desires.

Well, elves wouldn’t lie about such things, but you never know.

“Write honestly.”

“I know!”

Reina, who shouted, soon handed me the survey form.

“There were a lot of strange questions, but I took it seriously because it’s a bet. I hope your magic is as good as I was serious.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

My magic is always certain.

After receiving and checking the form, I looked at Reina.

‘Huh?’

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

I looked at the ideal type part that Reina had written again.

-Who is the person you consider to be your ideal type?

-Yuris.

Those three letters were all.

“…Is this all for your ideal type?”

“Are you dissatisfied? Is it something humans can’t understand?”

“No, it’s not that.”

Is the problem that there’s too little information?

No, it was because the Yuris I knew and the Yuris Reina knew were clearly different.

The Yuris that Reina knew would be the goddess of victory who never loses.

The Yuris I knew was the Yuris who had become addicted to defeat.

Then, which Yuris is it right to show?

No.

Which Yuris will the magic circle try to show?

Somehow, I was faced with a situation where I had to carefully navigate that gap and show it to Reina.

This is going to be a difficult video.

“Well, let’s just start.”

Having finished my thoughts, I flicked my fingers, and at that moment, the magic circle activated.

Reina reopened her eyes and realized that the scenery around her had changed.

The place that appeared when she reopened her eyes was…

“This is a bathhouse…?”

It was a bathhouse, which Reina considered to be one of the few facilities created by humans that she liked.

Why here?
