Sea.
Yes. It felt like I had plunged into the middle of the ocean.
The enormous waves kept sweeping me away into the sea.
I was flailing helplessly, unable to resist the waves crashing over me.
Even when I struggled to rise to the surface, another powerful wave greeted me.
As I sank under the relentless waves, doubts crept in.
I should be in misery.
Why?
Why do I feel so good…?
“Ha?! ♥”
My eyes snapped open in an instant, overwhelmed by a sensation I couldn’t describe.
What came into my view was the familiar ceiling of the inn and the room. And for some reason, the bed was soaked, filled with a rich scent of cherries.
I forced myself to sit up, grabbing onto my dizzy mind, when something alien swiftly brushed past my body again.
“Haang?! ♥♥♥”
I was taken aback by a sultry moan that escaped my lips and quickly covered my mouth.
‘Wh-what’s happening to my body..?’
My entire body had become incredibly sensitive.
My chest felt hot as if it were on fire, and my lower abdomen was experiencing a painful, dizzying ache.
My arms and legs trembled uncontrollably.
I felt a wave of panic at the condition of my own body, which I couldn’t comprehend.
“Did you sleep well, Hera?”
A familiar voice came from behind me.
Turning my head, I saw Athena, looking satisfied with her significantly smoother skin, gazing at me.
“Ah… Athena…”
My voice sounded raspy, as if it had deteriorated along with my condition.
Athena, still watching me, slowly rose and approached.
“I love you today as well, Hera.”
“Wh-what did you do…?”
I’m not an idiot.
I remembered faintly being knocked out by Athena’s blow to my abdomen.
And now, waking up in this overly sensitive state.
Athena, what exactly have you done?
As I looked at Athena with trembling eyes, she calmly smiled and patted my head.
“Ah, I’m sorry for knocking you out. You were teasing me too much, and I lost my composure for a moment.”
“Wh-what happened after that? What did you do to my body?”
Athena answered nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal.
“Huh? You looked tired, so I helped relieve some of the tension in your body.”
“What…?”
“Don’t you feel a bit more relaxed now?”
Relaxed…?
W-well, I guess my body does feel a little lighter…
‘No way.’
I shook my head vigorously.
I need to trust someone who deserves it.
It couldn’t have ended just with a massage from Athena.
The Athena I remember is proud yet has a certain perverted side.
Is she not someone who asks for her fingers to be sucked…?
Or wants her entire body to be licked…?
Someone who oddly enjoyed our sexual encounters—did she really just knock me out and give me a massage?
That would be like a cat guarding a fish.
“What are you imagining, Hera?”
“Ugh.”
As I continued to distrust Athena in my mind, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my forehead.
As I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again, Athena, who had made a flicking gesture with her hand, sighed and walked somewhere in the room.
“If you’re really suspicious, why not check it out?”
Athena returned, holding something that looked like a glowing orb.
That object was quite familiar to me.
It was a magical tool I had seen several times before in Athena’s mansion.
But… why is something like that in an inn?
“It’s for security. To record thefts or other crimes.”
It was as if she read my thoughts, responding swiftly.
Holding the orb in her hand, she said to me flatly, “Would you like to see what happened while you were sleeping?”
Her boldness was causing my thoughts to shift little by little.
‘…Did she really not do anything?’
If she had done something, she would probably try to hide it…
Maybe I had been looking at Athena from too negative a perspective. If that’s true, I would be quite embarrassed…
But I was still curious and reached out toward the magical tool.
[…My disciple. I think it would be better not to do that.]
Suddenly, the voice of my mentor echoed in my head.
‘…Since when have you been here?’
I asked in surprise, to which my mentor cleared her throat a few times, then spoke in a slightly higher pitch.
[I just arrived. Just now.]
I couldn’t shake the feeling that my mentor was acting a bit flustered for some reason.
But I didn’t dwell on it and spoke to her in my mind.
‘Why shouldn’t I look?’
[From what I can see, it seems like there’s quite a passionate… No, a tender relationship between you two. You shouldn’t be suspicious like this.]
Hmm.
She had a point.
If I were to see the magical tool, it would be like openly telling Athena I didn’t trust her.
Looking at it from the opposite perspective. If it were me, I think I would feel a bit hurt too.
[..And for your sake, I think it’s better not to look.]
‘….What?’
What does that mean?
Was she saying it to prevent me from feeling guilty?
But no matter how much I pressed my mentor for an answer, nothing came back.
Eventually, I let out a short sigh and pushed the magical tool away from Athena.
“No, I’ll trust you.”
At my words, Athena’s eyes widened in surprise.
Honestly, I was suspicious…
But it seemed like my desire not to hurt Athena was stronger.
“Are you really not going to look?”
“Yeah.”
When I said it clearly, Athena made a strange face, looking both touched and disappointed.
-…..Sorry, Hera.
After looking at me for a while, she quietly turned away and mumbled in such a small voice that I couldn’t understand.
I looked at her and calmly said, “But as a punishment for knocking me out, you aren’t getting a reward.”
“Reward? Ah, that.”
At my words, Athena raised an eyebrow, seeming to recall our previous conversation, nodding her head a few times.
However, instead of looking disappointed, she only smiled casually.
“It’s okay. I’ve already received my reward.”
“…?”
As I tilted my head in confusion, Athena smiled meaningfully while caressing the magical tool, like it was a precious treasure.
Just as I was pondering her actions, my mentor’s voice echoed in my head again.
[It may already be too late.]
‘What? What do you mean?’
[…..Forget it. I just realized once again how perfect my disciple is as a female.]
“…..Huh?”
I felt a wave of bewilderment at my mentor’s words.
What in the world does this mean?
……Perfect as a female?
……..Me?
Why?
…
…
…
“She keeps coming to mind…”
Once again, the ominous atmosphere of the Demon King’s castle permeated the air.
While her subordinates were kneeling before the throne, the Demon King pondered deeply, resting her chin in her hand.
“Demon King. The elves of Elvenheim are said to be on their way to assist us after hearing of the invasion of the Academy.”
“There’s definitely something special about this.”
As an absurd reply came from the Demon King, the Dark Knight continued to speak, still gazing at the ground while kneeling.
“If you give the command, I will handle everything.”
The Dark Knight spoke nonchalantly, as if dismissing the elves without a second thought.
Still, the Demon King responded with nothing but silence.
Yet the knight remained undeterred, maintaining his position and patiently awaiting the Demon King’s message.
After a brief moment, the Demon King let out a deep, authoritative voice.
“I’m contemplating how best to make her cry more.”
“……”
The knight found himself unable to respond.
Inside his helmet, he felt a profound shock he had never experienced before.
Having served the Demon King for decades now, he had never once disappointed her, yet he could not decipher her words this time.
Crying?
Who the hell is she talking about?
A heavy silence settled within the castle.
The Demon King rose from her throne and muttered to herself.
“It seems you cherish those worthless lives.”
The crimson glow in her eyes gleamed ominously.
Her lips bore a wicked smile.
“If I kill them all… then perhaps I’ll see those tears again.”
With a determined look, the Demon King finally issued her command to the knight kneeling before her.
“Elves, you say?”
“Indeed.”
Without much hesitation, the Demon King made her decision.
“Let only her go to them.”
“If that’s the case, I will provide protection.”
“Protection?”
Upon raising an eyebrow, the knight buried his head into the floor and immediately cried out in a loud voice.
“I apologize, Demon King! That was an overstepping remark!”
Ignoring the excessively subservient knight, the Demon King turned away, walking towards the castle’s exit.
‘This is exciting.’
The Demon King thought to herself.
Though she had never cared about the outcome of a war before, this time was different.
The tears she saw yesterday.
Those captivating eyes, filled with immense guilt and deep-seated sorrow.
Her strange tears kept lingering in her mind, igniting a wish in the Demon King’s heart that went beyond mere slaughter for the first time.
‘I must win, no matter what… heh heh.’
With the decision made, the Demon King began to subdue her rising desires, envisioning the image of her prisoner, who would eventually continue to cry for the rest of her life in the cage.
“For the sake of my entertainment, please, do cry as much as you want.”
