Episode 94
Ellin, sitting across from me, watched my expression before speaking.
"Mr. Dekal. There’s something I’m curious about…… May I ask?"
"What? About me? Or about your new job?"
"Both."
"Sure. Ask me anything."
"Are you a womanizer, Mr. Dekal?"
"Hmm……."
"Ah, ah…… Ngh……."
While pretending to think, I moved Bella’s buttocks back and forth, stirring my cock deep inside her cunt.
Bella placed her hands on the table and trembled, her head bowed.
"You could say that. I’m a promiscuous man."
"Isti……."
"Isti knows. Though I haven’t told her that Ellin has become my personal asshole elf."
"……."
Ellin’s face reddened all the way to her ears, and she hung her head.
Neither of them can raise their heads, as if they’re criminals.
I thrust into Bella’s cunt with wet, squelching sounds, leisurely waiting for Ellin to prepare her next question.
"But even if she knows, nothing will change from how things have been."
"Yes……. Th-then, am I supposed to keep maintaining that kind of relationship as well?"
"Didn’t you hear me?"
"……."
"Ellin. Introduce yourself."
I asked sternly while thrusting my cock into Bella’s cunt.
"Yes……. I-I am Mr. Dekal’s personal asshole elf……."
"Right. More precisely, you’re now a ‘professional chef and asshole elf.’"
"Cooking depends on cleanliness. That’s a terribly filthy title."
She was even worried that it might give people a bad impression of the food she made.
She really had the attitude of a professional.
It was cute that she had already accepted being called an ‘asshole elf’ in the first place.
"It’s fine. I know very well that Ellin’s asshole is perfectly clean."
"……."
Ellin seemed to have nothing to say.
"Is it your preference to call me vulgar names like that and enjoy my reactions?
And is handling Bella so roughly also your preference……?"
"Yes. Rough sex is Bella’s preference.
She’s recently developed a taste for choking sex, and she nearly dies of pleasure whenever I choke her."
The drawback of choking sex was that she might actually die.
I made up for that part with the goddess’s durability.
"Isn’t that right, Bella?"
"Yes. I love having my master choke me while smacking my cunt more than anything in the world♥"
"A reward for your honesty. Bella!"
I hugged Bella tightly from behind and ejaculated for the second time with my cock still buried deep inside her cunt.
"Ngh, yes……. Ah……. Haaah……."
Bella trembled in little spasms, letting out heated breaths.
When the long ejaculation finally ended, I released Bella.
"Bella guards the Eight-Colored Clam Castle as my pussy slave."
"……This place. I heard it was Mr. Dekal’s home. How far is it from the capital?"
"Hmm……. Very far.
But we can return using the artifact, so don’t worry."
"I see.
I felt that it was somewhat far away. The wind here is completely different from the capital……."
Really? Is that an elf’s intuition?
"Bella. Get a hold of yourself. Bella."
I woke Bella by fondling the breasts hanging limp in my arms.
"M-Mm. Master. What is it?"
She still seemed to be lost in the afterglow.
"The location of the Great Eight-Colored Clam changed midway. Can you return to its original location?"
"I think I can.
But the clam has to be there for us to enter the Eight-Colored Pearl again."
The Great Eight-Colored Clam was currently in Melbrit, not the Elven Refuge.
I could send Ellin back to the room where she had left me to have anal sex, but for Ellin to return to the castle, the Eight-Colored Clam needed to be somewhere nearby.
Having to go out and find it every time would be rather inconvenient.
I wanted to focus on Melbrit’s schedule.
At the same time, another thought occurred to me.
Although I was temporarily separated from Isti, Karen, and Noa,
if I placed the Great Eight-Colored Clam somewhere everyone could reach,
the women who had received pearls would be able to freely enter and leave the castle.
That would happen before long.
It was a problem that would be easily solved once I took control of Melbrit.
In any case, it was inconvenient in the meantime.
I felt sorry toward Ellin, but perhaps I should ask her to stay at the castle until the problem was resolved.
I looked at Ellin and spoke.
"Ellin. If you want, I can send you back to the Elven Refuge even now.
But it seems it’ll take some time before you can come and go from the Clam Castle.
So could you stay here and cook my meals?"
"……Hmm."
Ellin closed her mouth awkwardly.
Of course she would be conflicted. Working at a new workplace and living at the workplace while working were two different things.
I calmly waited for Ellin’s answer.
"All right. I wanted to bring my cooking utensils, but since Mr. Dekal wants me…… Ahem, since you want my cooking, I’ll stay."
"Didn’t you just misspeak?"
"Hic."
Ellin hiccupped.
I took out the goddess’s water bottle and handed it to her.
"Here."
"Th-thank you."
Ellin poured water into a cup and drank it.
"I did bring you here because I wanted you."
"Hic."
"……Would you like another glass?"
"……I’m, hic, sorry."
Ellin took a deep breath and spoke.
"I wasn’t hesitating because I disliked it. It was so much like a dream that I couldn’t believe it.
Mr. Dekal held me passionately all night, and it felt incredibly good, and, um……."
"I think I know what you mean."
When I smiled slyly, Ellin became shy and couldn’t finish her sentence.
"I’ll do as you wish, Mr. Dekal."
"Thanks. Once the problem’s solved, should I bring you plenty of jelly, too?"
"……."
Ellin shyly nodded.
I thought it was about time to go back.
"I ate well. I’ll come again this evening!"
"Yes…!"
I returned to the men’s dormitory.
As usual, Aba was wriggling around beneath his blanket.
Perhaps he had a longing to return to the fetal stage.
I had just been holding Bella, but the moment I came back to the room where the men stayed, my energy drained away.
It couldn’t be helped.
I had no choice but to endure it until I took control of Melbrit.
In the first place, how should I move if I wanted to take control of Melbrit effectively?
The simplest way would be to hypnotize everyone one by one.
However, that method had two problems.
The first was the existence of the god responsible for game overs.
If I went around doing something that conspicuous, I would definitely be crushed.
The second was Melbrit’s strict rules.
The fact that it was difficult to meet the female candidates privately was a minor hindrance.
More importantly, I wasn’t diligent enough to go around meeting every candidate.
Then what was the best option?
Hypnotize someone with the authority to gather all the candidates in one place.
Who possessed that kind of authority?
The mysterious student council president?
She had been chosen for the hero’s party yet deliberately stayed at the academy. That meant she had to be the worst of the worst among the entrenched elites. Ugh, scary.
But no matter what method I used,
the god of this world was not an element I could control, so I couldn’t shake the unease that it might pop up from anywhere.
The hero was coming in a month, right?
……Fine.
Let’s put complicated thoughts aside. For now, I should focus on what was right in front of me.
It was time for the afternoon class.
I received my attendance points, bringing my total to 490 points.
Instead of going up, it had actually decreased.
That was because I had made a major expenditure on food.
I had also been penalized for being absent while having sex with Ellin…….
But the score didn’t matter much right now. I was spending time treading water in the wolf rank.
That way, I wouldn’t seem suspicious if I suddenly raised my score.
In that sense, it had been fortunate that I’d heard about Aba Roun’s older brother, Badeg Roun.
Though he was a complete stranger with no connection to me whatsoever, no one found my promotion suspicious thanks to his rapid rise.
He also gave me a benchmark for how quickly I should raise my score.
"Today, we’ll learn how to use protective magic.
Those who haven’t learned protective magic yet, and those who have, stand in separate groups."
Huh? Protective magic?
Protecting someone with spirit arts…… didn’t count as protective magic.
I stood with the group that didn’t know protective magic. There were a little over thirty of us, including me—more than half the total number of students in the class.
"Shall we start by learning the simplest protective spell?
Today, you’ll teach one another one-on-one. If the numbers don’t match, the remaining student should come to me."
I’d be the one left over anyway, right?
I was just thinking that I would go to Plenoer and ask her to teach me when quite a few female candidates gathered in front of me.
"You too?"
"I wanted to try it with Lord Dekal, too……."
"I heard you used to be an adventurer. That’s kind of cool."
"……."
What was this strange popularity?
While I stood there unsure of what to do, the number of female candidates who wanted to teach me protective magic continued to grow.
That was when it happened.
"Everyone, move aside."
When Diana appeared, the female candidates scattered like arrows.
"Hmph."
……Hahaha.
It seemed I had been properly marked by the wolf-ranked queen.
"A good-for-nothing like you ought to be looked after by the most outstanding person around, don't you think?"
"Then will you teach me?"
Was this because no one dared lay a hand on the man the queen had marked?
From then on, no one came anywhere near us.
"The most basic and useful protective magic is Barrier. Now, try copying me."
I watched Diana perform it.
"For mana control, draw it up from your feet to the top of your head, then spread it slowly around you. That's the feeling you want."
"Hmm, like this?"
(You have learned Barrier.)
After consuming a small amount of MP, a flimsy veil enveloped my body.
"Oh."
"Y-you did it in one try?"
Diana looked quite surprised.
"How long did it take you to learn?"
"……."
Diana smacked my veil apart with her hand.
"A Barrier that can be broken by a girl's hand doesn't count as a success. Don't get cocky!"
"Really? Then shall I keep trying?"
She folded her arms and glared at me as though everything I did displeased her, immediately shattering my veil each time I cast it while saying, "This isn't it."
However, thanks to the goddess's blessing, my Barrier grew so sturdy through repeated practice that she could no longer break it without using magic herself.
"Grr. Lightning Bolt!"
"Oh, it held up once."
Since things were flashing brightly over here, Plenore looked this way and spoke admiringly.
"Candidate Dekal, Candidate Diana, you're doing well! Still, don't use magic that's too powerful.
Ah, those who have learned protective magic, try casting it one by one."
"Don't get cocky."
Diana huffed.
"I was doing this much when I was eight!"
Yeah, you really hate me, don't you?
When I looked at her as if I understood everything, Diana became even more prickly.
"What are you staring at?"
"Nothing. I was just wondering if it would be so bad for me to do well."
"You can't learn faster than me."
"You're so arbitrary."
"A member of the Vanguard family would never fall behind an ordinary commoner."
She was brimming with spite. What should I say to her?
In fact, I knew exactly what to say to make her heart melt.
"Isn't it because your teaching was so excellent?"
"What?"
"I was able to learn this quickly because you taught me so well."
"……Hmm."
The corners of Diana's lips twitched.
"Ah, well…… I suppose you could look at it that way. Trash. At least you've gotten a little better at knowing your place."
"Thanks, Diana. As expected, you're really good at handling magic."
"Uh, hmm."
It was hilarious watching Diana desperately pretend to be angry.
"Do you really think I'm good at handling magic?"
"Yes."
"……You weren't bad either. No, that was excellent work."
In a better mood, Diana honestly evaluated my protective magic.
Everyone was completely absorbed in their magic training.
I secretly approached Diana. She flinched when she saw me coming, but folded her arms and pretended not to notice.
I kissed Diana. She opened her mouth and sucked on my tongue.
"Slurp. Mwah. Smack. Kiss. Did you forget, hoo, that I'm good at kissing? Are you planning to test me again?"
"I like your kisses, Diana."
"……Wait. I'll show you that I can do even better. Stick out your tongue, trash."
"Ah."
"Slurrrp. Smack. Mwah. Mwah."
Diana eagerly sucked on my proffered tongue, completely absorbed in the kiss.
Since it seemed we were about to be discovered, I pulled away for a moment.
"That felt good, didn't it? Admit it."
Diana giggled.
"I don't know. It might feel good if you came in my mouth."
"In your mouth? How?"
Diana asked innocently.
"Just like kissing—put my cock in your mouth and suck it."
"Ugh……. There's no way I'd do something so disgusting. You trash."
"Can't you?"
"……."
"I'm disappointed."
Diana glared at me as though she wanted to devour me.
"I thought you could do it, if it was you, Diana……."
"Why would I be able to do it?"
"Wouldn't a good woman be able to satisfy a man in every way? I thought you'd be the best blowjob around."
"……Tch."
Diana clicked her tongue and fell into thought, anxiously folding her arms.
"Let's just keep training magic. What can you do when you can't give a blowjob? That sort of thing isn't for just anyone."
"Shut up. I can give a blowjob, all right? Who are you to decide that I can't? Even my father has never said that to me!"
"Then you can do it?"
"Hmph. I was already planning to suck you off with the best blowjob ever. Get your cock hard and wait. I'll leave you unable even to think straight."
Diana went to call her followers, huffing angrily.
It seemed she intended to build a "human wall" again.
It was hard not to find it funny that she was willingly doing what I needed her to do through hypnosis.
The followers who had been dragged away from their protective magic training greeted me awkwardly.
"H-hello."
"So this is the……."
"Oh. They say he's Diana's secret lover……."
"Shh. Watch what you say. We just have to pretend we don't know anything."
"You lot! What are you whispering about? Hurry up and block him with your bodies."
"Y-yes, ma'am!"
The followers formed a wall. Hidden behind the fence of their burly bodies, Diana bared her white teeth at me with supreme confidence.
"Ready to be sucked dry? You piece of trash."
