There is one law that holds true everywhere, regardless of time or place.
“What’s the matter, lady? Haven’t introduced yourself yet?”
“...Lady?”
“Yes. Lady.”
Women like it when you make them out to be young.
If I called her an auntie, that sword would be buried in my head as it was, but if I treated her as a young woman, I could at least keep the conversation going.
“Let me introduce myself once more. I am the demon Azazel Dandelion.”
“...So you’re the demon who toyed with Jake Gilbert’s life.”
Silverit lowered her sword and slowly approached.
“Did Baron Gilbert call you?”
“No. But elves have sharp ears. If you merely prick up your ears quietly at the Adventurer’s Guild, you can hear everything being discussed in the lord’s castle.”
As expected.
Perhaps because she was a high elf, her hearing was no joke.
She was the same person who had found my room after hearing Eris’s voice before my regression.
“More importantly, what gives you the confidence to stand there like that?”
Silverit narrowed the distance.
“No matter how I look at you, all I see before me is a human bearing a demonic seal.”
Naturally, she saw through my bluff.
Whether it was the sealed Flame Demon Dragon or the Black Flame Dragon or whatever else, false bravado through force did not work against an S-rank powerhouse.
If an opponent was strong enough that she could not sense their power, that only meant they were vastly stronger than she was. She had worked herself half to death to reach her current position. Could there really be an existence above her?
“If you’re going to lie, at least have the minimum ability to back it up.”
Especially in a place like this.
“You think it’s a lie?”
“How shameless. Even if you’re a demon, you’re still human, aren’t you? You just keep spewing lies without even wetting your lips.”
“Unfortunately, my true worth is revealed only ‘after I die.’”
I deliberately spread both arms and laughed.
“Only after death can I fight with all my strength.”
Just as I am now.
“Do you think it’s a lie, Lady Silverit?”
Silverit flinched and stopped walking.
It was not simply because I had called her a lady. When I began walking toward her with my arms spread, she stopped where she stood.
“Then kill me.”
“.......”
My heart pounded.
Silverit’s ears stood alert, and the diamond necklace around her neck swayed.
Silverit was exceptionally good at detecting lies.
I did not know whether she used magic.
But if I were to make a guess, perhaps she discerned truth and falsehood by listening to the sound of a person’s heartbeat.
A lie detector.
If she could hear the pulse in someone’s veins with perfect accuracy—
“Don’t frown. You’ll put wrinkles on that pretty face of yours.”
I was nervous, but I continued to close the distance, speaking only the truth as much as possible.
“Are you afraid of me?”
“......I am? Afraid?”
“If you aren’t afraid, there’s no need to be so tense. If you can kill me at any time, why are you frowning like that?”
Step.
When Silverit pointed her sword forward, I stopped with the tip positioned precisely between my brows.
“I’ve heard that forest elves possess a beauty incomparable to ordinary humans, but can you really keep making such a fierce expression?”
“......Hmm.”
Silverit let out a nasal hum and raised her sword.
“What an insolent demon. Do you have no respect for your elders?”
She pointed the sword at my throat.
“Your elder?”
I took one step forward.
“There are only two young people here—a man and a woman.”
“.......”
“Neither of us has revealed our age, so how can you decide who is older?”
Even though I was standing close enough for the blade to cut my throat, I narrowed the distance further.
“Will you accept my greeting, lady?”
I naturally dropped to one knee and extended one hand, like a knight.
Silverit continued to point her sword at my throat in accordance with my movements, but her eyes remained fixed on me. Then—
Sleek.
I saw her gaze flick briefly toward the rigidly erect shaft beneath my robe.
“Won’t you accept my greeting?”
“...What an odd demon. Where does he get that confidence? Are you perhaps an undead wearing human skin? Is that what the seal is?”
“It’s something different.”
It was a cumshot regression.
“How long are you planning to make me keep my hand out like this? My shoulder blade might pop out.”
“...Ha.”
At my urging, Silverit extended one hand.
She seemed well acquainted with the etiquette of human nobility, and I quietly pressed my lips to the back of her hand.
As expected.
Eris Albatea’s teacher.
That meant she had once worked for a count’s family—a ‘noble household.’
Of course she knew human etiquette, and Silverit accepted my greeting.
I’ll forgive you halfway.
As long as she was not a virgin, I might even forgive her after three consecutive days of pleasure, climax, conditioning, and rape.
Though that would probably be in the next cycle.
Sleek.
I rose to my feet.
Taking my time, I stood and stepped away from Silverit.
“Lady Silverit. Did you come here, as expected, to save Eris Albatea?”
“.......”
Silverit remained silent.
I did not miss the fact that she glanced at my cock once more.
“That must be it. Eris is your apprentice, after all. Count Albatea must have asked you to rescue her.”
“......Where is Eris?”
Not “Erisi.”
That was probably a pet name reserved for Eris alone.
“Hmm, who knows?”
Fortunately, my cum slut, Eris, seemed to be staying quietly silent without Silverit noticing.
She might even be watching the situation here.
Or perhaps Lilith was keeping her from speaking while watching the situation herself.
Regardless of the circumstances, it was fortunate that I was currently in control of the situation.
“What will you do if she’s alive, and what will you do if she’s dead?”
“You ask something obvious. If she’s alive, I’ll take her with me.”
“And if she’s already dead?”
“It’s common for adventurers to die at the hands of demons in dungeons, but shouldn’t death be repaid with death?”
“A perfect answer.”
As expected, a fight could not be avoided.
What should I do?
I tried to draw out the conversation to buy time, but Silverit was not a fool either.
“Take me to her. If you don’t, I’ll kill you.”
She did not know where Eris was, so she was pressing me—the person who did know—for information.
“Why? Wouldn’t it be faster to kill me and search the entire dungeon?”
“.......”
“You seem rather desperate. Are you worried that reinforcements might arrive?”
“Ha....”
Irritation surfaced in Silverit’s eyes.
“You. Are you really one of the Blood Thrusters’ demons? There’s no way the Blood Princess would favor a man who fights with his mouth like you.”
“My mistress uses me where I am needed, so do not deny or slander my mistress’s judgment.”
“...Huh?”
“My mistress does not make mistakes.”
A sudden outburst.
I was doing this deliberately.
“Insulting her is insulting me. I can endure insults directed at me, but I cannot endure insults directed at her.”
To buy time.
When the hell are they coming?
Were they still on their way?
How much time did I need to buy?
But—
“You came here knowing.”
I hardened my expression and asked Silverit.
“You knew that she wasn’t here—that she had left—and entered at precisely this moment.”
“.......”
“Who told you? Did you figure it out yourself? No, that can’t be it. Are the bastards from another legion trying to sabotage our legion?”
I cautiously probed her.
“Apparently our demon is a delusional patient who enjoys overinterpreting things.”
But it seemed I had guessed wrong.
“I came here simply to save Eris. Enough. If you refuse to tell me where Eris is, I have no choice but to kill you and fight my way through that Flame Demon Dragon or whatever it is.”
Silverit’s sword pointed toward me.
This could not be avoided.
“I see. But if I’m going to die anyway—”
I stepped forward as I removed my robe.
“!!!”
For an instant, Silverit took a step back.
I had merely become a naked man after removing my robe, but Silverit scowled fiercely and retreated from me.
“Try to kill me as painfully as possible. The more pain I suffer, the more the Flame Demon Dragon within me will run wild with madness.”
“Ha....”
“I—”
“Then killing you cleanly would make it easier to deal with, wouldn’t it?”
Silverit swung one arm far back.
“Any last words?”
“Are you a virgin?”
“Ha...!”
Silverit laughed and swung her sword.
“Next time we meet, call me the ‘Virgin of the Forest.’ Hehe.”
Slash.
My head flew off.
* * *
“.......”
I came to.
A deep weakness weighed down my body, and I quickly swept my gaze around.
A bed.
Wet sheets.
Eris climaxing after being taken from behind.
And me, completely spent after the storm of creampie sex.
“.......”
I sat down on the edge of the bed.
“Eris.”
“Haa, haaang....”
“Come up here. Let’s face each other, kiss, and have you take my cock inside you.”
“Uuugh....”
Eris had already climaxed and gone limp, but at my words, she soon shakily raised herself and climbed on top of me.
Her movements were slow enough that I wanted to pull her down by force at once, but—
“Ahh....”
Eris climbed onto my cock of her own accord and draped her cuffed hands around the back of my neck.
“Secretary.”
“Yes, Instructor.”
I faced Lilith again.
“I was thinking while having sex with her.”
“Yes.”
“Now that I think about it, her family is connected to the S-rank adventurer Silverit, isn’t it?”
“.......”
She flinched.
Her pussy clenched.
“Secretary. Is there any chance we could stop Silverit if she came to our dungeon?”
“Perhaps...it would be difficult at this very moment.”
“Right now? You mean even the Blood Princess would have difficulty dealing with her?”
“No. That is not what I mean, but....”
“What about Chief Advisor Arcamond?”
“......Neither of them is currently in the dungeon.”
With Lilith, it was more effective to make her reach a rational judgment herself than to intimidate her.
“Eris.”
“.......”
“Do you trust me?”
With Eris, the correct approach was to dispense with unnecessary words and appeal to her emotions.
“When Silverit arrives, she’ll surely hear your voice with those ears of hers. But she’s a woman who will slaughter every demon, and I have a demon’s mark on my face.”
“That’s....”
“She’ll kill me, no matter what you say.”
After regressing through the same situation repeatedly, I had learned to organize my words as concisely as possible.
“Do you trust me?”
“.......”
“If I capture Silverit, condition her, and fuck her, how would you feel?”
“That....”
I watched Eris’s reaction.
They definitely had not been on good terms.
Master and apprentice.
An elf and a count’s daughter.
Above all, in the first scenario, Eris had shielded me despite Silverit coming to rescue her.
“......If an adventurer entered a dungeon and was captured, then that was simply the adventurer’s fate.”
Eris closed her eyes after saying that.
“Thank you.”
Kiss.
“......!!”
After kissing Eris, I held her waist and slowly moved my lower body.
Lick, lick.
Eris opened her mouth and explored my tongue.
It was not as rough as our previous intercourse.
But my cock grew even harder than when I had said I would climax as quickly as possible.
Brrrlt.
For the third time, I came inside Eris.
“Instructor... She’s arrived.”
The moment I filled Eris, Lilith cast a communication spell.
The high elf Silverit had appeared.
The point of my cumshot regression and the point of my death were drawing closer and closer now, but—
“What is this? The timing is absurd....”
“My parents used to say that speak of the tiger, and it will come.”
“......How very coincidental.”
Though it was a proverb, Lilith immediately understood what I meant.
“Summon the succubi at once—”
“Secretary. Even if you call the succubi, they’ll only die.”
I slowly pulled Eris, whose body was trembling atop me, off my cock and gently laid her down on the bed.
“There’s only one way.”
I kissed Eris on the lips as she lay on the bed like a princess, then covered her eyes with my hand.
“I’ll handle this.”
I turned my gaze toward the wall of the conditioning room.
“Instructor. That is....”
“If an enemy cannot be dealt with through force, we have no choice but to solve it another way.”
“According to the instructor’s method?”
I took the aphrodisiac bottles sitting on a shelf against the wall and opened their lids.
“...Even an elf has to be rendered helpless once you put a cock inside her.”
That was the only way we could survive.
“This is the aphrodisiac we developed recently. The bodily fluid of an aphrodisiac slime that grew by consuming succubus vaginal lubrication.”
This was the path I was best at taking.
“Secretary.”
I loaded up on aphrodisiacs and headed outside.
“Somehow, urge ‘them’ to come as quickly as possible.”
“Instructor....”
“I’ll buy us time somehow.”
“But—”
“Secretary.”
I gave Lilith a firm nod.
“Trust me—”
I did not ask.
“Believe in me.”
I gave an order.
“...Yes, Instructor.”
Lilith bent at the waist to ninety degrees before me.
“If this matter ends—”
I did not wait to hear the rest and ran forward.
Toward the room with the aphrodisiac hot spring.
The conditioning district of the Conditioning Legion.
