Vol 3 – Chapter 4 – Falling To a Temptation, The Weakness of Man



Warning:

Sexual Content Lurks Below

Tek here, I have always had a weakness when it comes to women--an unfortunate curse. Mainly because women always stayed away from me. It’s the face isn’t it--it has to be the face--

Whaa--

A naked girl is straddling my waist, her long violet hair is mostly hiding her body, but I can see pink tips poking out--

What’s going on?

Am I dreaming?

She is naked, and I can see a bit of skin as she moves her hips slowly, gasps leading from her partially open lips. After a few seconds, she shudders, a pleased grin on her face, her small pink tongue came out and slowly licked her lips--before she slowly leans over, snuggling against my--bare chest?

Where’s my shirt?

I’m still lost--though my body seems to have reacted, judging by the soft giggle--followed by the girl smirking and grinding against my lower half a few times with her soft butt, her eyes meeting mine, she seems very pleased with herself; and with my reaction.

What’s with this situation?!

After purchasing the two new slaves, Arisa and Lulu, from Nidoren--we went back to the inn--

***

“I will make sure to attend to master, day and night--vigorously.” The violet-haired, teen girl, Arisa said such a thing during the Ritual of Contract.

Even though both Liza and the black-haired teen girl, Lulu, were silent during their turns.

Did Arisa want to appeal to me?

Well, she had been staring intently at me when I first went to purchase them--but I think that was just her way of trying to make me buy her, right? Right?

After the slave contracts are finished, I payed Nidoren one gold coin; he tells me that he will be here until the day after tomorrow, so I can feel free to talk to him if I need new slaves--or if I have some issues with my current ones.

After leaving the tent, we do self-introductions, because the others don’t have access to the information that I do--and I want to learn about my new companions.

“Now, please let me introduce myself,” Arisa speaks fluently, with a British accent, “My name is Arisa, and I’m from the now-extinct Kubooku Kingdom! I am Fifteen years old. If you wish for night service--I’ll gratefully accept, even though I may be clumsy! Please love and look after me forever!”

Arisa performs an almost perfect curtsy, though she only just slightly raises the hem of her clothing--and while it is an elegant gesture, because of the short clothing--I almost--aaallmost get a glimpse of what should be hidden.

I think she was intending that to happen, because when I am carefully directing my gaze towards her face--she smiles, seeming both pleased and slightly proud of herself.

“Pleased to meet you, my name is Tek.” I keep my tone even, looking away from that bewitching smile.

“--I’m Lulu. Fourteen years old. Born in the Kubooku Kingdom--since I’m thin and plain looking--I’m not fit to be your partner at night, but I will work hard at any duties you assign me--so, please don’t abandon me!” Lulu introduces herself.

She keeps staring at the ground and hiding most of her face with her long black bangs.

Her voice is rather pleasing, and would sound better if she didn’t sound so scared and kept trembling like a leaf in the wind.

Though the person herself said that she is thin, she seems to be filled out in all the right places, and is even a B-Cup, slightly smaller than Arisa, Zena. As well as quite a bit smaller than Tama and Pochi--but about the same as Liza. To be a B-Cup at fourteen is rather promising, though I hope that she doesn’t get too big.

Unlike most guys, I prefer the range from A-D--anything bigger is too much. My opinion was unpopular with the guys around my workplace--but strangely popular with the girls, especially my junior.

Putting that aside, for this beautiful girl to say that she’s plain, that’s too much for humility; I think she has body issues. I can identify with how she feels.

Though right now, with her face covered by her long hair, she looks like the girl from the ring--but if I were to compare her one of the Japanese AV stars that I found online, she would be much more beautiful--

Arisa and Lulu don’t seem to share the common prejudice against Demi-Humans, because even after the Beastkin girls took of their hoods, the two don’t show any sign of dislike or disgust. Well, Lulu looks a little nervous of Liza, but there doesn’t seem to be any disgust or maliciousness--it’s more like a small puppy meeting a fully grown German Shepard.

Do the people from other Kingdoms not share the dislike of Demi-Humans?

Pochi and Tama initially act shyly around strangers, but since Arisa and Lulu act normally when around them, they immediately warm up--well, I say normally, but Arisa tries to play with Pochi’s ears--when Pochi sends me a pleading gaze, I ask Arisa to stop, which she does with a slight look of sadness.

“Well then, let’s go back to the inn.” I call out to the five, and we return to the street.

Arisa moves smoothly, grabbing my left arm and pressing it against her chest--mmm, soft. Tama and Pochi seem to be contesting as to who gets my right--but they stop when Liza clears her throat and looks at them. Then she does something a little unexpected.

“Master, if I may be so presumptuous--” She speaks so quietly that she is almost whispering, looking down, she walks forwards and gently grips the edge of my sleeve with one hand.

Tama and Pochi look between Liza and I, before skipping back and walking next to Lulu.

Suddenly, I hear the sound of someone’s stomach rumble.

When I look back, Lulu blushes.

A lot of the nearby stalls exude good smells, but there aren’t too many customers; it seems that everyone is busy at the auction, so everyone is too busy, but business will be booming when it ends.

Since it’s convenient, we go to a stall that has tables--where I bought chicken soup and bread, as well as meat skewers for everyone, since I knew the Beastkin girls really like meat.

I’m not hungry because of my Stats, but I but a small skewer, since the Beastkin girls would wait for me to start eating before they do.

After I take a bite, the Beastkin girls happily start chowing down, and the two newcomers follow their lead.

Arisa stuffs herself, eating quickly, before saying, “Ah, protein--after such a long time.

Oh?

So this world has the concept of nutrition too huh?

I don’t comment on it as I just watch the surroundings and the view of the happy girls.

Lulu eats happily, but while still being reserved, probably because of her Etiquette skill.

Since I didn’t have more than a skewer, I finish long before the others--and since Arisa and the Beastkin girls finish but still look hungry, I order seconds. Lulu glances between me and the food, then looks down, before saying that she is full as well.

“Well, continue your mean, I’m going to quickly go get some cloaks and shoes at a nearby stall.”

“L-Let me go, it it’s shopping,” Lulu says quickly, and then blushes deeply when I look at her; she hides her face behind her hair again and goes to stand up.

“I will go.” Liza spoke at the same time as Lulu.

Pochi and Tama pause their chewing and quickly glance between me and the girls.

“Everyone, keep eating, I will go,” I say, gesturing to Liza and Lulu to sit again.

I could have waited until the mean was over, but the two new girls are wearing clothing that is transparent in the chest. With the movement from them chewing, well, I have been unable to calm down for a while. I can see a good view, but out in public isn’t the best place for it.

As soon as I buy the cheap cloaks and sandals, I return in around five minutes and give them to Arisa and Lulu. As soon as the four finish their meal, we leave for the inn.

>>Skill: Service Acquired.

***

Just like Zena warned me, the inn refused to allow the Beastkin girls to enter. However, Marsha makes a bed out of the straw in the barn for the three Beastkin. Pochi and Tama are overjoyed, thanking her with big, innocent smiles; even Liza says thanks with a small smile.

I wonder if it’s warm to sleep on straw, and covered by the blankets which we found in some of the ruined houses in the labyrinth.

I take out some of the cookware, and some food, as well as Pochi and Tama’s shortsword--placing all of them into a bag, I give it to Liza. It’s forbidden for Demi-Humans to have weapons inside the town, but since they will stay in the bag except in the case of an emergency, no one should find out.

“As for the food, you can eat if you get hungry.” I give permission to Liza, who looks serious when she hears my words--almost like a knight who has been ordered to protect the king, even willing to die for him.

Lulu offered to sleep in the barn with the Beastkin girls, but since the inn accepts Human girls, it’s better for them to sleep inside the room. When I tried to get an additional room from the landlady I heard that there were no free rooms--an answer that made Arisa give a secretive grin--so it was decided to add a spare bed into my room.

Since the room is wide, originally being a room for two, even after having two beds in it, it doesn’t feel cramped.

Even though Arisa moves as though it is completely natural and tries to crawl into my bed, I get Arisa and Lulu to share the new bed while I sleep on my own bed.

Inside the labyrinth, for the sake of allowing the Beastkin girls to rest well, I was the only one who kept watch--so I didn’t sleep at all. While my increased Stats means I barely feel tired, but after so long, I feel sleepy.

At least that’s what I think the reason is.

I surrender to the familiar drowsiness, and sleep after a long time.

***

And so we return to the beginning.

Why is Arisa in my bed?

Calm down a little, Tek--

Arisa notices that I’m awake and says, “You’re finally awake?” in a mischievous whisper, and then kisses me. Her soft lips press against mine, the tip of her small wet tongue runs along them, I react instinctively and open my mouth, allowing the welcome intruder in.

While this is happening, I begin to run my fingers through her surprisingly silky hair.

Huh?

Why am I reacting like this?

While it may be a normal response, it also seems like something else is influencing me--increasing my desire.

Arisa doesn’t stop with my mouth, she kisses my ear, collarbone, and chest in turn--her small hands lightly, very lightly caress my skin. I respond in turn and gently stroke her nape.

I feel like I’m under some outside influence, but I decide to just ignore it for now--I will just let this play out and figure it out afterwards.

Arisa slowly kisses lower, before stopped and resting her cheek on my abs, her fingertips running over my chest.

My mind is clearing and the log displays itself--There, that’s the reason, I will sort it out later.

Then Arisa slowly raises herself, one small hand going down and lowering the boxers I wear to sleep--she positions herself, then lowers her body with a soft moan.

Arisa begins moving.

Under the sound of Arisa’s quick breaths and slight moans, I can hear an embarrassed noise come from the bed in the corner, I see Lulu awake and blushing a brilliant crimson--she is covering her eyes--while remembering to make sure there is a gap she can peek through.

After a few minutes, Arisa speeds up--and then lets out a pleased noise before collapsing on top of me, covered in sweat.

I hug her close to me, then whisper into her ear, “Arisa, I forbid the use of Magic and Skills--this is an order!”

Arisa twitches in surprise, raising her sweaty face and looks at me with shock in her violent eyes.

“Furthermore, cancel the effect of the Magic and Skill that you’ve used on me--this is an order!”

Arisa obeys the order, the log displaying that the Magic had been canceled and the effect has disappeared.

 

>>Skill: Mind Resistance Acquired.

>>Skill: Mind Magic Acquired.

 

The information visible on my Heads-Up-Display changes when I look at Arisa. Just in case, I put the maximum ten skill points into the Resistance Skill.

“Why--” She seems surprised, trembling slightly, this time in what seems to be fear.

“Isn’t that my line? Using Mind Magic on me, what’s your goal?”

Yes, the time I bought her, and just before, she was using Magic--the first was Charm Person, and a little while ago Heat Heart was used.

When I used the appraisal skill on her earlier at Nidoren’s tent, it said that she had no skills, but the first time I saw her--it said Unknown. I should have remembered that.

“--Even if master said that I’m using Mind Magic.” Arisa looks at me with wide eyes and an innocent expression.

“I also forbid you from deceiving me and playing dumb--this is an order, state your goal.”

I close off any escape routes and press her for an answer.

 

>>Skill: Questioning Acquired.

 

I feel slightly guilty for how I am acting, but I can’t allow someone who tried to control me for unknown reasons to continue--if she is a threat to the Beastkin girls, I will have to get rid of her.

Alright, I allocate points to the Questioning skill and activate it--let’s only make it level three for now.

She puts on a resigned look, and answers truthfully.

“--My goal was to become master’s slave.” She looks away slightly, her face blushing.

“And the goal for the second Spell?”

“I wanted to serve master.” She puffs up her cheeks a little, being sulky.

“I don’t understand that second point, explain more clearly.”

“Uhh--well, I fell in love with you when I first saw you--that short black hair and blue eyes, that defenseless expression, that fit body--If such a person was going to be my master! Even though such a cute boy was before my eyes, he was going to pass by! I wouldn’t accept that, so I used my Magic--to be purchased!” She speaks incredibly quickly, looking a strange mixture of desperate and embarrassed.

“So, after you were bought, you intended to brainwash me?” I ask this question, but judging from her answers and expression, I was pretty sure that she would answer in the negative--but I had to be sure.

“No! Completely false! I said ‘I will make sure to attend to master, day and night--vigorously.’ when I become your slave, right? That’s why I seduced master, since it’s a slave’s job to make her master feel good!”

What kind of reasoning is that?

I think she is taking the role of slave in a strange direction.

Then again, I do like her thought process!

Ahem, I have to focus.

“Alright, but that’s not the entire truth is it? What’s your full intention?”

“Even though I was waiting for master to call me, you really just fell asleep--so, since it couldn’t be helped, I slipped into your bed; when I saw your sleeping face--it was just irresistible!” She giggles as she answers me, “I really did my best to control myself in the beginning.”

“Then you lost to your lust and took advantage?”

“That’s right!” She nods with an expression like a cat that got into the cream.

I sigh and run a hand down her slim back, causing her to gasp and shudder softly.

“Really, just what are you?”

When I look again, the Heads-Up-Display now shows this:

 

Name: Arisa

Age: 15

Title: Tek’s Slave, Witch of the Lost Kingdom, Mad Princess

Skills: Mind Magic

Innate Skills: Self Status, Status Check, Hide Skills, Item Box

Special Ability: Never Give Up, Over Boost.

 

Wow, it’s full of skills I have never seen before.

Arisa regains her breath and speaks with a teasing smile, “I’m Arisa Hathford--and just like you, I’m British!”
