Seraphina’s back arched like a bow. She let go of my wrist and clutched the bedsheet, trembling.
“Please calm down, Captain.”
I spoke in a composed voice, still wearing a serious mask and pretending to have no ulterior motives whatsoever.
“The most important mana spring is located in the uterus. It’s completely blocked right now, obstructing circulation and causing backflow. We need to stimulate it directly from within to clear the blockage.”
“F-From within…? That’s…!”
Seraphina’s pupils shook as though an earthquake had struck. Taking advantage of her confusion, I pushed in one more finger.
“Eugh…?!”
With the index finger joining in, two fingers forced their way through the cramped entrance. The narrow vaginal walls of a virgin clenched tightly, as though rejecting the unfamiliar intruders.
‘Touch of Tuning.’
[The target’s senses become more sensitive, and faint pleasure is induced.]
“Ah, aaah…♡!”
A sweet moan burst from Seraphina’s lips. She threw her head back and writhed with her entire body.
“Th-This…! What…?”
‘Touch of Tuning.’
[The target’s senses become more sensitive, and faint pleasure is induced.]
“…Nn, hng♡!”
‘Status Analysis.’
[Name: Seraphina von Reinhardt]
[Status: Consecutive orgasms. Aroused.]
I pulled out the fingers I had inserted.
Pop.
“Haa…?”
Seraphina stared at me blankly, overcome by the sudden sense of loss. Her empty hole seemed reluctant to let me go, oozing fluid in little spurts.
“……!”
Seraphina belatedly came to her senses. She hurriedly closed her legs and covered her shame with both hands. Her face was flushed as though it might burst.
“What on earth did you do…! Don’t tell me you intend to call that treatment too…?!”
“Of course, Captain.”
I answered shamelessly and activated my skill.
‘Captivating Speech.’
[Skill ‘Captivating Speech (Lv.3)’ has been activated.]
Putting on a grave expression, I opened my mouth like a doctor persuading a patient before a major operation.
“Captain, what is the fundamental cause of mana backflow? It’s mana that cannot flow, stagnates, decays, and freezes. But when I examined you with my fingers just now, I discovered a serious problem. The mana circuit at the deepest point, near the uterus—the source of life—is completely blocked.”
“S-So… why did you have to do it that way…?”
“Fingers aren’t enough.”
I cut Seraphina off firmly. At times like this, I couldn’t afford to surrender the initiative.
“Fingers are too thin, and the area through which mana can be transmitted is too small. The core of the biological resonance tuning method lies in the area of contact and the location of contact.”
Area of contact, and location. When words she had heard several times before came up, Seraphina’s expression stiffened. She seemed to realize what they meant. Her gaze anxiously dropped toward my lower body before returning to my face.
Watching her expression closely, I threw out the most important bait.
“I saw a possibility.”
“…A possibility?”
“Yes. If this treatment process goes well…”
I looked straight into her eyes.
“…then I believe I may truly be able to cure your mana backflow completely.”
“……!”
Seraphina’s eyes widened.
“…What did you just say? Cure it completely…? But… didn’t you say yourself that it was nothing more than a temporary measure? Then how…?”
[Hidden Desire: To escape this wretched pain.]
Her voice rose, and her words came faster. It was only natural. I had just told her that the pain which had shackled her all her life could actually be cured.
“That was then. This is different.”
I spread both hands and showed them to her.
“I’ve grown too, Captain. Over the past few weeks, while working on your body…”
I wrapped up the fact that [Touch of Tuning] had risen to Level 2 in appropriately vague terms. Seraphina silently listened to me.
“…In short, I can now reconstruct mana circuits with considerable freedom.”
When I finished speaking, silence filled the room. Seraphina’s eyes trembled, unable to settle anywhere.
[Status: Experiencing intense inner conflict.]
[Emotion: Fear and shame at losing her virginity vs. a complete cure for mana backflow.]
“You have to trust me.”
I delivered the final blow.
“Every procedure I’ve performed on you so far has worked, hasn’t it? I’ve never disappointed you even once. This time will be no different.”
Seraphina’s body jerked violently. She clutched the sheet tightly, then slowly relaxed her grip.
[Status: Has very strong faith in Max Jaeger’s abilities.]
[Emotion: Extreme shame at having to accept Max Jaeger, but an even greater trust in and dependence on Max Jaeger, along with a sense of indebtedness.]
“…It really is treatment, right?”
she asked in a tiny voice.
“I swear.”
At my firm answer, Seraphina’s expression hardened with resolve.
“…All right. I’ll trust you.”
With an expression tinged with a spoonful of guilt, Seraphina said,
“No, rather…”
Ding—
“…I’m sorry for doubting you.”
[Skill ‘Captivating Speech (Lv.3)’ is affecting ‘Seraphina von Reinhardt’.]
[Her reason has begun rationalizing your proposal as part of the treatment.]
Seraphina lay back down, resting her upper body against the bed. Her body formed a dizzying curve, and her silver hair spilled across the bedsheet.
She bit her lip, then slowly spread her legs.
[Status: Trusting Max Jaeger.]
[Emotion: So ashamed she feels like she could die, along with dependence on and indebtedness to Max Jaeger.]
I quickly took off my trousers and underwear and climbed onto the bed.
Thud.
Seraphina’s gaze instinctively fixed on my lower body, right at its center.
“……!”
Her jewel-like blue eyes opened wide. Her gaze held fear, curiosity, and a strange heat. Her eyes thoroughly surveyed my cock. She even swallowed dryly without realizing it.
[Status: Shocked by the dramatic appearance of a male organ she is seeing for the first time.]
[Emotion: Feeling dizzy at the thought of that entering her, along with a strange tingling sensation.]
“Captain…?”
“...Ngh!”
Only after I called out to her did Seraphina avert her gaze. But her body was already responding honestly. I slowly pressed between her legs.
Just before rubbing the tip of my glans against her vulva—
“Wait… What about contraception…?”
Seraphina pushed against my shoulder. It seemed her last shred of reason had kicked in.
“Shouldn’t you use a condom?”
I hesitated for a moment. Of course, the Imperial Army didn’t issue condoms.
“It can’t be helped. We’ll have to postpone the treatment. Without a condom…”
[Emotion: Fear of pregnancy is driving out her desperate yearning for treatment.]
“I absolutely… can’t get pregnant….”
‘Captivating Speech.’
“Captain, about that…”
I attempted to persuade her as best I could. But…
Ding!
[Persuasion failed!]
[The difficulty of the request directly conflicts with the target’s core value: avoiding the risk of pregnancy.]
[The negative effects caused by the failed persuasion have been greatly reduced.]
Even [Captivating Speech] was useless.
‘Damn it….’
Swallowing my disappointment, I pulled back.
Her aversion to pregnancy was indeed substantial. Even with [Pregnancy Control], it was useless since I couldn’t explain the existence of the skill.
I would have to save condomless sex with Seraphina as a pleasure for later.
“Don’t worry. As it happens, I have one.”
“You have one…?”
Seraphina looked slightly surprised. Perhaps, being a soldier, she lacked flexibility and didn’t know that all sorts of things circulated within the military. Well, it wasn’t as though she had earned the nickname Ice Witch for nothing.
“How on earth did you get something like that…?”
“There’s a way for everything.”
I took a condom from my back pocket and, making a show of it, put it on my cock.
‘Pregnancy Control.’
[Skill ‘Pregnancy Control’ has been activated.]
[Pregnancy probability set to 0%.]
A condom alone wouldn’t guarantee one hundred percent contraception, so I used a skill I could trust completely as well.
Only after doing all that was I able to align my glans with her vaginal opening. I could feel the hot, moist warmth through the rubber membrane. Enjoying the sensation, I rubbed my glans against her wet entrance.
“Ah…”
I slowly pushed my hips forward.
“Hnngh…!”
My glans forced its way through the narrow entrance. I felt the tight resistance unique to a virgin.
Seraphina moaned as though in pain, though she didn’t show it openly. Her arms instinctively tried to push against my shoulders.
But I didn’t stop. Instead, I pressed forward with my weight.
‘Touch of Tuning.’
[The target’s sense of pain is blocked, and pleasure is amplified.]
“Hng…?”
The moment my glans pierced through her hymen, the tone of Seraphina’s moan changed strangely. Instead of the searing pain of tearing, what she felt was a sharp pleasure that struck her brain.
I didn’t miss the opening and thrust all the way to the base in one stroke.
Thud—!
“Aaaah♡!”
Seraphina’s head fell back. Her narrow, hot inner walls clamped tightly around my cock without leaving the slightest gap. The entire vaginal wall throbbed and spasmed, squeezing my cock.
“Haa… haa….”
I stopped moving for a moment, giving her time to adjust. Seraphina panted heavily, looking back and forth between her lower abdomen and me with an expression of disbelief.
“…I-Is it over now, Lieutenant…?”
Huh? What did she say?
…Apparently, her knowledge of sex consisted of putting on a condom and pressing navels together.
Her innocent reaction, so at odds with her nickname of Ice Witch, brought a lewd smile to my lips. I bit down on them to suppress my laughter and said,
“The real treatment starts now, Captain.”
“…What?”
I gripped her waist firmly.
“I’m going to move.”
