Volume 3 Chapter 17 A Long-Awaited I♡
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Could it be that you came to see Manon? Maybe you heard my footsteps and hid along the way?”
”Well, that’s pretty much the gist of it.”
”That’s not okay.”
Christy spun her words with a serious tone, though she spoke softly.
”This isn’t a place where you can enter without permission. If you’re caught, it could spell trouble. If you want to meet Manon, I can pass on your message, but you’ll need to step outside the mansion for now.”
”The curse mark on Her Excellency Maribel’s shoulder…”
”…!”
”I might be able to handle it somehow. I’ve been managing the affairs while juggling everything, but I believe her limits are approaching.”
”…I see. You checked on Manon when you came to help, right?”
Christy said this and released her grip from Kian’s shirt, displaying a look of uncertainty.
”I really don’t want to drag you further into this mess.”
”We’re already in the same boat. I’ll do what I can.”
”But… I can’t do anything about the curse. All we can do is somehow support the diminished strength and alleviate the symptoms. Asking Kian would mean asking him to deal with the Owl… or something like that.”
”There might be other options. That’s why I’m going to see Her Excellency Maribel.”
”…I understand your feelings, but I’m not in a position to issue permits. Unfortunately, Lucretia is the Head Magician now, and I’m just doing minor tasks under her.”
Christy flashed a self-mocking smile and glanced at Maribel’s equipment placed down the hall.
”It’s almost laughable. Manon thought I couldn’t be trusted with any responsibilities, which is why she let the newcomers Lucretia and the others take over Lady Natasha’s duties. So, I really have no authority. Even if I tried to take responsibility as a substitute, I wouldn’t be able to protect her.”
”────”
”Up until now, I’ve been avoiding social interactions as much as possible, and I’ve been content with just getting by at work. I’ve got these wrinkles… Getting outpaced by the newbies… I didn’t want you to see me like this.”
”There’s no gesture more unbecoming of you than making such a weak face.”
Kian took the hand of the black-haired witch and gently enveloped it with both of his.
”I want you to always be strong. Even if you’re a klutz, I want you to carry yourself with confidence.”
”Yeah… ────What? A klutz!? Oh, I’m such a klutz!”
”……”
”Don’t just laugh it off and deny it! Don’t give off that ‘Oh shoot, I slipped up’ vibe!”
”Christy, if you’re lacking, you can just borrow some from somewhere.”
”Don’t force the conversation!”
”No, let’s move forward! If there’s something you can’t do, just start learning from scratch. If you have the time and money, it’s possible.”
”────!”
”If you really feel like you’re not pulling your weight for Her Excellency Maribel, then how about taking a break and going on an adventure with me? It’ll be a journey of learning. I’d be happy to accompany you on a trip to another country, if this wallet permits.”
”Eh!?”
”I’m not kidding. I want to go on an adventure with Christy. You can learn how to interact with people and skills that no witch in this castle has, through the experiences of our adventure. A witch’s lifespan is long. If you’re naturally smart, you could even become a wise person like the ‘Thorn Magician’ someday.”
”Wait, wait a minute… Wait.”
”Of course, I’m only half serious. I doubt you’d want to switch from a refined fortress life to that of an adventurer either.”
”No, that’s not it! …If Kian is the one taking me, I’d go anywhere… But, I can’t just leave Manon alone now.”
”I understand.”
Kian smiled faintly and whispered as gently as he could.
”Well, for now, the only thing to do is to build up what can be done here. Specifically──attending the party where Her Excellency Maribel will be present, not just standing alone against the wall, but starting by talking to the other guests as much as possible.”
”Ugh…”
”As long as you don’t approach the wrong person, you should be fine. You are a knowledgeable and beautiful witch. I think things will actually go a lot smoother than you expect. If you’re worried, I can send Rufna over when she’s free. And if you just need to vent, I’m always here to listen.”
”…No.”
Christy shook her head and raised her eyebrows tightly as she spoke.
”I can’t be too much of a burden. …I will do my best. Gradually, I will work hard to become a witch that everyone can rely on.”
”If it gets tough, just let me know at any time. I’ll sweep you away.”
”That’s why I can’t leave Manon behind. …That girl is out there doing her best all alone. It’s tough enough without that curse eating away at her.”
”I see. I think your virtue is not abandoning your master.”
”Thank you. …And I’m sorry for avoiding you for the past month. I must have annoyed you.”
”Don’t worry about it. I just hope you’ll return to being the proud and somewhat scatterbrained Christy as soon as possible.”
”P-proud? Scatterbrained? Hey, Kian, aren’t you being a bit harsh? Are you saying I’m just a pretty face and not much else?”
(Come to think of it, Christy is aware of her beauty. It makes one wonder why she can’t use it to her advantage.)
”That’s not true at all. Ha ha ha!”
”Hey, wait! Are you seriously mocking me?”
”Ha ha ha!”
Laughing, he ran his hand through her lustrous black hair.
He had just been adjusting himself with his hands in his pockets.
It stirred intense excitement in him, feeling like he was tainting the beautiful witch with male desire.
As Christy was caressed by his foul-smelling hand, she gently wore a beautiful smile that she never showed to others.
”Thanks, Kian. I feel a bit better. I usually regulate my mental state by grinding herbs when I get emotionally unstable, but Kian is still the best, after all.”
”Sounds like a vitamin drink. I’ll treat you to some love juice if you want.”
”Oh, you silly goose.”
POP!
A flick on the forehead.
She gently extended her neck, gesturing for a kiss, but quickly made a sad face and stopped herself.
”I need to wipe Manon’s sweat,” she muttered theatrically, trying to get out of his arms.
”Wait, Christy.”
”Huh?”
He embraced her from behind as she turned around.
This time, he ran his hands over her dress, which had a wide open chest, and buried his fingers from her concave stomach to her heavy bust.
The smooth texture of the dress and the softness of her breasts, which had almost no elasticity.
He touched the slightly sweaty lower part of her breasts, and could strongly feel Christy’s raw body temperature.
It still smelled good.
A body odor that was mature and feminine, yet had a youthful, sweet and sour scent.
It’s a woman’s body that can’t be tasted by women or slaves who pay for sex – it’s the real deal.
It’s really getting to him.
”Hey, Kian!? N-no! This is the hallway! Where Manon usually lives! Ah, no, let go!”
”I won’t let go. I’m going to do it now.”
”…!”
He pressed his hardened crotch against her skirt.
He felt the soft sensation of a woman’s tender buttocks.
He buried his face in her neck, and the scent of Roses perfume, combined with Christy’s own sweet skin scent, tickled his nose.
Her navy blue beret, which had slipped off her head, hit her thin shoulder and rolled onto the floor.
Christy, with her lustrous black hair, arched her eyebrows and glared at Kian.
”R-really, it’s no good to do it here! If we get caught, neither of us will get away with it!”
”No one will come, and even if they do, I’ll notice. There’s no problem.”
”No, let go! ──Ah!”
Even a witch who controls mysteries with a single fingertip can only have the strength of a weak woman if she doesn’t apply physical ability enhancement.
He embraced her tightly from behind and rubbed his erect penis against her buttocks, and the black-haired beauty shuddered.
She seemed genuinely disgusted, but it felt like her body’s sweat glands had gone into overdrive.
It looked like she was getting turned on by the feeling of his manhood and his scent.
Kian leaned in close to her ear and whispered in a low voice.
”It’s been a while since we last did the deed, hasn’t it? Have you been holding back all this time?”
”I, I haven’t! Masturbation, well, …just a little bit…”
”I didn’t even ask if you’ve been playing with yourself.”
”────! N, no way! Really, I, don’t want it…”
”You’re cute, Christy.”
”No… If someone sees me, oh, …ah, stop it!”
Kian reached forward, and Christy’s face turned red, as if anticipating a kiss, and she tried to curl up.
But he forced her back into position with his strength.
Still, she tried to resist, clenching her core muscles and trembling.
He grabbed her jaw with his left hand and slid his right hand down from her stomach to her crotch.
He forced her to look up at her pale, slender jaw and stole a kiss.
Her flesh, just as lacking in elasticity as her chest, touched his mouth.
He pinched her cheeks with his fingers, opened her lips, and thrust his tongue through the gap.
Then, the raw smell of a woman’s saliva filled his mouth and shot up his nose.
”Mmm…huff…”
Christy groaned, turning her head back.
She writhed her body, trying to push him away with her arms.
He suppressed all of it and strongly embraced her from behind.
He held her tight.
Gradually, the black-haired witch’s movements became sluggish, and eventually, her muscles reached their limit.
She was caught in Kian’s arms, and she could only tremble at the stimulation she was given.
He could feel her thighs, pressed together under the skirt fabric, trembling.
When he inserted his hand between her thighs, her heels lifted off the ground.
His fingers brushed against the subcutaneous fat of her crotch.
It seemed like that place was slightly wet.
”Ah, really, no, stop, ah…”
When he traced the vertical groove of her crotch with his finger, Christy’s hips swayed.
As if to escape the stimulation, she looked troubled.
Her voice and gestures could only be interpreted as inviting.
Kian pinched the fabric of her blue dress at the chest and pulled it down along with her underwear.
”Ah, boobs!”
”Shh, be quiet.”
”…!”
The white breasts glowed in the dimly lit hallway, almost luminescent.
The tips were a delicate shade of pink.
Christy’s areolas were not large, but they were a beautiful pale pink.
Her nipples were not overly big either.
The areola area was slightly puffy, creating a very erotic sight.
”Ahh…”
The black-haired witch covered her mouth, gazing down at her exposed chest, as Kian chuckled softly in her ear and began caressing her breasts passionately.
