Volume 3 - CH 2.2

R-18 Chapter

After getting out of the bath and having dinner, I decided to go to sleep early. Natalia, who would normally charge at me, was quiet, as if she sensed that I was tired, so I thought I could take it easy today.

With that in mind, I lay down on the bed in my room, but after a while, there was a knock at the door. I wondered if someone had come to crawl in the night. I'm not too keen on it because of what I did during the day, so if Natalia comes, I'll turn her away.

「Ex-Excuse me.」

However, contrary to my expectation, it was the maid, Lucia, who entered the room with a nervous look on her face. As I was feeling a little surprised at the unusual person's visit, she approached me, with her movements awkward from nervousness.

「M-my apologies for interrupting you so late at night. But I have something to tell you, Yard-sama. ......」

「Fumu, say it.」

「Errr, it's about the dark elf that master brought in before. ......」

Even if you say that, I can't think of anyone quickly. In addition to Elle and Melvina, there are quite a few other dark elves that have been brought to the mansion, and unless she mention them by name, I don't know who she's talking about.

「Err, she's the one with the engraved like me.」

「Oh, I though who was it, I'm sure it's a dark elf called Lily?」

「Yes, she's been acting strangely for a while now, so I thought I'd report her to Master. ......」

I think she doesn't have to come all the way here in the middle of the night to tell me this, but let's just say I haven't seen her today so I haven't had a chance to tell her.

「I understand. I'll go check on her for now.」

I really wanted to go to sleep, but since there was a possibility that something was wrong with the imprint, I thought it would be better to check it out.

Then, Lucia led me to a room, where I found the dark elf. She seemed to be unaware that the door had been opened, and was mumbling something to herself with her head down. It seemed to me that she was suffering from some sort of mental abnormality.

When I approached her to see if it was caused by the defect in the imprint, she suddenly raised her face, which had been downcast, and looked at me. Her eyes were clouded with a stagnant color, as if she was despairing about something, but the moment my figure came into view, her eyes changed to a flirtatious look.

「Ahhh, master, you've finally come to see me. ......」

There was not the slightest trace of anger towards the man who had killed her former lover on her face, just a rutted expression that said it was natural for her to flatter the master in front of her. I had almost broken her spirit in the past, but she seemed to have recovered to the point where communication was no longer a problem after not seeing her for a while.

「Well, I had no business coming here.」

「You can't imagine how hard it must have been for me to spend my days chained up in a place like this, just eating the food that the woman there brings to me. ...... If I could, I would serve you by your side, Master」

「I don't remember his name, but you had a man, didn't you? Have you forgotten about him yet?」

「That man is nothing but a waste after meeting such a wonderful magician as Master.」

I get the impression that she's changed her mind, but Elle began to fret in a similar way when she saw my magic for the first time, so it's not strange for a dark elf to be fascinated by a strong man like this.

And apart from that point, I couldn't find anything particularly strange in her words or actions.

「Lucia, what did you find unusual about her?」

When I called out to Lucia, who was watching us from behind, I could sense that she was clearly upset and flustered. In order to find out why she reacted the way she did, I turned around to see what was going on, but at that moment, I heard a high-pitched sound like metal clashing against metal behind me.

「Kuhh!? How did you notice that!?」

When I turned around again, there was a dark elf holding out a knife at me.

The blade of the knife was carefully marked with a magic-eliminating dispel magic, making it easy to see that it was intended for use by anti-magicians. It seems that she tried to stab me, but due to the weak effect of the magic formula she was given, she was stopped by the anti-physical barrier I had deployed beforehand, and her surprise attack ended in failure.

「How did I notice that? It would be more difficult to be fooled by such an obvious act, but whatever. You had anger in your eyes before, but how could your angers have disappeared so easily and become so flirtatious with your enemy? If you're going to try to take advantage of me, you'll have to at least act like you're full of hate.」

From the moment she gave me that flirtatious look, I knew she was up to something. If she hadn't acted in such an obvious way, she might have been able to get at least one blow in on me, but what a waste of time.

「It's not over yet! "O God, give me in my hand the blade of absolution that destroys the wicked"!」

「Wha!?」

As she chanted the spell, a magic that met the requirements of the chant was activated, and another sword-like object made of light appeared in her hand.

The power of the sword is only a degraded version of the <Ray Sword>, and it is not something that can break through my barrier, but more importantly, I can't hide my surprise that she was able to activate the magic formula when all of her latent magic power was taken away.

「Kuhh, why can't my attacks reach you!?」

The barrier is blocking her attack, and she's glaring at me with hatred, so I cast <Fear> on her. Even if she regained some of her magic power, there was no way that she could have enough magic resistance to nullify my magic, and when my magic hit her, she couldn't bear the mental load and fainted.

「But still, ...... I didn't expect her magic to be back. Is it because of the mark?」

However, although the mark on her absorbs her magic, it does not have the effect of giving her magic power. Even if some part of the mark was faulty, it should not be possible for her to regain her magic power by any chance.

As I was thinking about this, a possibility suddenly crossed my mind. I raised the accuracy of my magic detection to the maximum to confirm this possibility, and I saw the reaction I had expected in her body. Surely, with this, even if she didn't have any magic power, she would be able to secure the magic power needed for the chanting magic.

What I found in her body was the appearance of a fetus in her womb. Due to the effects of the magic imprint on her entire body, the fetus is infused with magic power that exceeds that of an ordinary magician. It seemed that she was using the magical power of the fetus to activate her magic.

Normally, there would be no magical connection between the fetus and the mother, but the fetus inside her had a magical connection with the mother due to the effects of the imprint on her womb. In addition, there is a magic formula that inhibits the growth of the fetus, so the child will not be born while the effect is in effect.

Of course, I don't remember having such an imprint on her. And it would be impossible for any of the people currently in the mansion to have this engraved on her. The only person who might be able to do it is Elle.

「The fact that he went this far.........It shows that she was a good magician.」

Even if it's a fetus, it's still a life. It is obvious that using such a thing is an outrageous act, but it is also true that a great number of human experiments have developed magic technology. In addition, there is no doubt that the lack of humanity that makes it unavoidable is a necessary element for researchers who are trying to master the depths of magic.

It's a mind-boggling problem that she've betrayed me and are on the side of the enemy, but I appreciate the fact that she's trying to use every means possible to surpass me.

She probably planned to use the time when I was invading the Demon Empire to mark her and give her a knife with a magic-erasing dispel to catch me off guard and assassinate me. This may have been one of the tricks Elle was talking about.

「Well, it's a terrible story for her to be dancing around by Elle.」

As long as she is getting magic power through the fetus, she will not be able to activate the magic again if the mark that connects them magically is destroyed. But in that case, the only way to do it is to shave off the engraved part of the flesh, which would be too much trouble for me if I wanted to go to bed early. Therefore, I decided to take a simpler method.

I activated my Clairvoyance to check the exact location of the fetus, and gave it an Advanced Nullification Ability. This way, no magic power would be gathered in the fetus, and no magic power would flow into the mother's body. In addition, the fetus will grow normally. Now she is no longer a threat to me.

I decided to deal with Elle in the future, and turned toward the door to call it a day, there was Lucia, hunched over and looking at me.

From her point of view, she and the Dark Elves had failed in their attempt to trap me, and her friends had been instantly neutralized. I guess that's enough to make her scared of my anger.

Her face was so distorted in a way that made me want to feel sorry for her, and there was already a puddle of water at her feet.

「Now then, Lucia, you don't have to be so frightened, okay? There's still a lot I want you to tell me.」

「Eekkkk! I-I'm sorry! Please forgive me!」

Just as I took a step toward her with a villainous smile on my face, tears welled up in her eyes and she repeatedly bowed her head to beg my forgiveness.

This seemed to be the behavior of someone who knew she was at fault, which meant that she knew what was going to happen here and had brought me here.

「For now, calm down. Anyway, did Elle send you to bring me here after all?」

「...... Yes. She asked me to bring Master to this room. She said if I did, she'd tell me how to get rid of this mark. ......」

Apparently, Lucia was taken advantage of when she was trying to erase the Surgical Mark somehow. She appears to be quite trapped as well, as she is swallowing Elle's suggestion, which she usually seems to not get along with. I don't think I can say that I'm the cause of her complex.

But if she is serious about getting rid of the Mark, I have one regretful piece of news for her.

「Lucia, are you ready to scrape the flesh from your own body?」

「Huh?」

「The Mark on your body is now recognized as a part of your body. If you want to erase it, you will have to literally shave off your entire body. There are other ways to make it invisible, but when it comes to erasing it, that's the only solution.」

「Eh, huh? Is that true?」

It seemed to have taken her a while to understand my words, but when she finally realized that she had been deceived by Elle, she slumped down on the floor and began to cry in frustration.

「Oh no, I even betrayed master to do it. ...... Why ......」

I managed to swallow the words that it was probably because she was quite gullible, and patted her shoulder to comfort her, and she looked at me with tears streaming down her face. I felt sorry for her situation, but I had to ask her to take responsibility for her misbehavior, so I grabbed her shoulder with a smile on my face.

「I know it's frustrating to be tricked by Elle,......, but it doesn't change the fact that you set me up. You should be punished for deliberately putting your master in danger.」

Perhaps she had completely forgotten what she had done, but when she heard my words, her face paled again and she shook her head as if she did not want to believe it.

※

When I took Lucia back to my room, I decided to start preparing for the punishment immediately. At the same time, I put up a sound proof barrier to insure myself in case she screams.

「Um, I won't do this to you again! Please!」

「Don't scream. Think about the time.」

Ignoring her desperate cries, I take out the tools I had received from Olympia. Even though this is a punishment, I'm not a demon either. I try to avoid violence as much as possible, so using these tools for training will be just fine.

Her sexual knowledge is not so distorted, so every time I take out a tool, she lets out a small scream and stares at it in horror.

「Don't be so scared, even though it's a punishment, I won't do anything that will interfere with your work tomorrow.」

「O-okay ......」

I walked up to the still trembling girl and blindfolded her and tied her arms behind her back.

When she couldn't rely on her eyesight anymore, she instantly sat down in fear, so I had no choice but to lift her up and carry her over to the bed.

「Now, are you ready?」

「Y-yes. ...... If you could at least remove the blindfold, ......」

「It wouldn't be a punishment if you took it off, would it?」

「What? Kyaaaa!」

I reached for her breasts without her noticing and rubbed them over her clothes. Normally, the stimulation would be quite weak, but since her other senses were heightened due to the fact that her vision was blocked, even this light stimulation caused her to react in an exaggerated way.

But this is just the beginning. I don't mean to inflict pain, but there are many ways to inflict punishment that are more painful than pain. That's what I'm going to teach her.

I start by rubbing her breasts, which are so small that she's look like little girls, and gradually pouring magic power into them.

The imprint on her body creates a pleasant sensation when she absorbs the magic, and even though I've only touched her breasts lightly, her body already seems to be on fire.

「How do you feel now?」

「Huh? Ah, yes. It feels good. ......」

She seems to be confused by the fact that the stimulation she's being given is a pleasant sensation that's far from punishment. But her tension seems to be slowly receding, and her tense body is beginning to relax.

And just as she began to relax, I pinched her nipples, which had grown to the point where they could be judged from the top of her clothes, and at the same time poured a large amount of magic power into them.

「Hyaaaaaaaaa!?.」

It seemed that Lucia, who had been caught off guard by the sudden and intense pleasure she was receiving from the continuous pleasant and weak stimulation, had easily reached her climax. Unable to move her arms, she arched her body to escape the pleasure, sticking out her tongue and screaming.

The intense climax made her lose her mind, but this was still not a punishment. I held her in my arms as she shivered with pleasure, and poured more magic into her. I wondered what kind of reaction she would show now that her body was held down.

The amount of magic power that was poured into her body should produce a level of pleasure equivalent to a dozen or more normal climaxes.

「AaaaaAAAaaAAAaaaaaaah!」

In an instant, she seems to have exceeded the magnitude of pleasure she can tolerate, and her body bounces wildly as she screams like a broken woman. I'm sure she's trying to move her body a little bit to let the pleasure escape, but she can't because I'm holding her down, and she can't even distract herself, so she's receiving the pleasure directly.

I let go of her after a few seconds, and she collapsed to the floor, unable to even catch herself. She seemed to have lost her ability to think about anything else due to the pleasure, so I decided to wait until she calmed down.

A few minutes later, when she finally stopped shaking, I pulled her up and saw that her face was a mess of tears and sweat. She was already in a state where she could barely stand on her feet, but her punishment was yet to come. For now, I'll just hope for the strength of her spirit.

「Ah, shouting would be a nuisance to those around, so I'll just put this on.」

As I said that, I put a gag-like restraint on her mouth as well. This is also Olympia's personal item, but I wonder what she expects from me. Well, it's useful in the present situation.

I also tied up her legs, so she was almost fully restrained. Now, I can finally begin her punishment and training.

「Listen, Lucia. I'm going to ask you some questions, and you're going to answer yes to everything. Now that your mouth is full, all you have to do is nod to my questions.」

When she heard my words, Lucia stopped moving for a moment, but she quickly nodded back. She didn't seem to understand my intentions yet, but I guess she would find out soon enough.

I held her in my arms and began to caress her body with the same amount of magic that I had first poured into her. The sweet stimulation came at a time when she was experiencing too much pleasure, and she seemed to be enjoying it.

「Let's begin. I am your master, and you are in my employ, correct?」

She nodded her head immediately at this question. She seemed to understand that if she affirmed anyway, I would not be able to give her the same pleasure as the torture she had just experienced.

「Next, you are absolutely loyal to me, aren't you?」

She seemed a little confused by this question, and nodded after a moment's delay. But the delay meant that she was hesitant. So, in order to make her understand the purpose of this question, I poured a lot of magic power into her.

「────────────!?」

「You don't seem to understand your position yet. Who picked you up after the duke's family was destroyed and your family home was thrown you out? If you had understood that, you would have responded right away, right?」

With this mistake, she seemed to be able to understand my intentions. She won't make the same mistake next time.

「Let's move on to the next question.」

I repeated the same question over and over again, and each time she immediately shook her head in affirmation. As long as she nodded, she could only enjoy the gentle pleasure, and soon she was willingly nodding to any question without hesitation.

「All right, if you can answer the next question, I'll remove the restraints from your mouth. Then let's begin. Are you ready to give up the idea of removing the mark from your body and devote the rest of your life to me?」

The girl from earlier would have definitely hesitated to ask this question, but after repeatedly receiving affirmation and pleasure in return for rewards, she nodded happily to that question. Satisfied with her answer, I removed the restraints from her mouth.

「Haaa......Master......」

As she called out to me in a debauched voice, I couldn't feel her frightened demeanor immediately after entering the room, and she became a woman who was only thinking about flattering me and giving me pleasure.

「Now, to continue with my question, from here on, answer with words.」

「Yes, Master!」

「You have betrayed me, to whom you're indebted, and now you regret this very much and remorseful for this, are you not?」

「Yes, I do. ...... Hahnn ......」

「If it takes your whole life to make up for it, you will not hesitate to give your life to me, will you?」

「Yes, of course. Hmmm. ......」

She is no longer the same person who hesitated to answer earlier, but now that she has reached this point, she won't be taken in by anyone's sweet words but mine.

I continued to ask her similar questions one after another, and each time she answered immediately, I would reward her by caressing her and making her feel good, until she became numb to reason. By that time, she had completely surrendered herself to me and was rubbing her body as if she wanted more pleasure.

「Masteeer, please hurry up with the next question: ......」

「Sure, I'll take off the rest of the restraints and blindfold before I do that. But for the last question, I want you to show me not only with your words, but also with your attitude.」

「Really!? Aahhh, quickly!」

「All right, here I go. What are you to me?」

When she heard my question, she moved away from me, stood on the floor on her own feet, and picked up her skirt to show off her beautiful curtsy. However, her expression was lustful, and the innocent impression given by her simple maid's uniform had the opposite effect of increasing her lasciviousness.

「I am a maid who gives everything to my master and behaves as he wishes. As atonement for betraying my master, I am willing to abandon everything else to serve him.」

「Ahh, well, that's fine.」

I didn't intend to go this far in my original goal. It would have been fine if she had just reflected on today's incident and vowed never to do the same thing again, but she got hooked on the training in the middle of the punishment and got too excited, and as a result, here she is now.

「Therefore, I'd like to show my loyalty to my master. ......」

「Hmm? Yeah, do what you want.」

I didn't really think about what I said, but when she heard my words, she happily came up to me, knelt at my feet and started licking my feet.

I watched her act for a while, taken aback by her unexpected behavior, but the tickle of her foot licking brought me back to myself, and I hurriedly pulled my foot back. She gave me a disappointed look, and it seemed that there was no longer any trace of the old days left in her.

「Master, I can't show you my loyalty in this way. ......」

「If that's the case, you'll have to show me your loyalty tomorrow at work. It's late for today, so why don't you go back to your room and get some rest.」

「Then please lie down, master. You can use me as a hug pillow. ......」

「Lucia, just hurry up and go back to your room.」

「I understand. ......」

Lucia walked out of the room with a clearly unconvinced look on her face. Her clothes were soaked in her own bodily fluids from the training she had just received, and it was not a good idea to put her to bed. I had no choice but to ask her to leave as soon as possible at this point.

「...... Even so, I've gone too far.」

I didn't expect her personality to change that much. This is a big miscalculation.

Well, I'm sure she'll feel better tomorrow and be able to think more calmly. When she does, she'll probably remember what she did tonight and freak out, but that's part of her punishment.

I was tired tonight, by the way. Well, it couldn't be helped that the events of the night had blown Elle out of my mind. From now on, I'll be a little more selective about who I do this with.

As soon as I lay down on the bed, my eyelids became heavy, so I decided to follow the flow and leave for the dream world.

※

The next morning, I woke up at the usual time, but I was still a little sleepy, so I slept slightly without getting out of bed, when I heard someone screaming somewhere.

I felt a little guilty when I heard that scream that full of sadness and shame, but my eyes became dull, so I got up to get ready, and Olympia came into the room just as I was getting ready.

「Good morning, Master.」

She was bowing, not in her usual military uniform style, but in the house maid's uniform. However, there was nothing in the normal design that would fit her size, so she wore a dress with an open chest area like Tia. She also has larger than average breasts, so she looks good in such clothes.

Perhaps she noticed that my gaze was focused on her breasts, so she bent down a little and casually showed off her cleavage.

「Your meal is ready. Would you like me to bring it to your room?」

「...... Well, it's been a while since I've been back, so it's not a bad idea to show my face while I'm eating.」

「Very well, I'll tell them that, but ...... by the way, why are my tools in your possession?」

When she pointed it out to me, I looked at my feet and saw that the tools I used on Lucia yesterday were scattered about. I had been too tired to move any further yesterday, so I had left the tools behind and gone to sleep.

「Don't tell me.......you're doing it alone, master?」

Ignoring Olympia, who was looking at me with a shocked expression, I decided to start cleaning up the scattered tools before heading to breakfast.
