"Haah! Sooho! Next to me! The child! Haaah!"
"Haa… It's fine! He'll probably enjoy watching this too!"
"Hmm! Really? Haaah!"
The two men and women were completely focused on their intimate act, paying no attention to Berius.
Berius, without realizing it, followed the man's instructions—placing a water bottle and towel on the table—and closed the door to the room, feeling restless.
'What is this? What's going on?'
Unable to make sense of the bizarre scene before him, Berius was utterly confused.
He wanted to look away from the two, but the image of the woman was burned into his eyes.
Her beautiful brown hair, her glowing blue eyes, and… her long legs, exposed as her skirt was lifted, were impossible to ignore.
The man had taken off his pants and was thrusting something in and out between her legs.
Berius knew what it was.
'Why? Why are they doing this? Why!?'
In his understanding, the penis was merely an organ for excretion, nothing more, nothing less.
But Berius was over 13 years old, and even if he didn't understand, his body was starting to react on its own.
'Ugh… This feels weird…'
He had experienced erections before, but he had never questioned the physiological phenomenon.
Now, however, he instinctively understood.
Why he was getting an erection.
"How is it? Viola! Haa, haa! Since someone's watching, doesn't it feel more exciting?"
"It's good! Haaah! It feels strange but good! Haaah! I think I'm going to…!"
"Haa! I'm going to cum, Viola!"
'Cum? What?'
Berius, now fully erect, began to touch his testicles with both hands.
And in that moment, the image that came to his mind wasn't the woman in front of him.
'Princess… I'm sorry…'
It was the woman he had always admired.
As he watched the two engage in their act, he thought of the idol he adored, someone both men and women looked up to.
And then, the man on the bed suddenly increased the speed of his thrusts.
"I'm cumming! Viola! I'm cumming!"
"Haaah! Hmm! Hkkk…! Huh…. Haa…."
The man thrust deeply into the woman, and the two suddenly shuddered together.
Even after their act was over, Berius couldn't regain his composure.
"Huu…."

After finishing with Viola, my mind began to clear.
The kid I had left standing earlier was now fidgeting nervously.
I ordered the kid.
"Hey, go get me some water."
"Huh! Yes, yes!"
His demeanour had changed significantly.
Whether it was because of what happened in the dining room earlier or because of what he just witnessed, his flustered state was amusing to watch.
'This is more fun than I thought. Tormenting this kid might be more enjoyable than I expected.'
[It seems like a rather extreme way to relax.]
'I never let anyone I dislike off the hook.'
My ultimate goal is Lena de Feron, but I thought I might have some fun with this kid in the meantime.
The kid brought me a glass of water.
But as he approached me, he kept glancing at Viola.
From his angle, Viola's private parts were clearly visible.
Even though I was staring right at him, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
If an adult had done this, I would have beaten them to a pulp, but since it was just a kid, it was kind of funny.
"Hey."
"Gasp! Yes, yes!"
"Who said you could stare at my woman like that?"
"S-Sorry! It's just…."
He apologized, but his eyes remained fixed.
'Ah, this is hilarious.'
[It seems he has no resistance to sexual stimuli.]
Viola, who the kid kept glancing at, was exhausted from the earlier act and had fallen asleep.
Sigh…
I should probably undress her and put her to bed…
As I was wrapping up the day, a sudden idea came to me.
The kid was still staring at Viola's skirt, unable to tear his eyes away.
"Hey!"
"Gasp! Yes, yes! S-Sorry…."
When I raised my voice, he finally snapped out of it and bowed his head to me.
"Who taught you to stare at a woman's body like that?"
"N-No one. I'm sorry…. Huh…. Please forgive me…. Hic…."
Perhaps because our hierarchy was now clearly established, he was tearfully pleading for mercy.
Good….
"You're hopeless. I should report this to that head maid or whatever she is."
"N-No!! Please, not the Princess…. Waaah!"
"…."
He started crying.
Not just sniffling, but full-on sobbing.
Not that I had any intention of comforting him.
"Hey, hey! Calm down. I won't tell."
"Hic…. R-Really?"
"…Short on words?"
"S-Sorry…."
Okay, the hierarchy is definitely established now.
"Hey, do you have anything to do?"
"T-Today's schedule is done…"
"Well, I'm bored. Let's talk."
"…Huh?"
Given his age, he probably doesn't know much, but I figured he might know more about the humans here than I do.
After wiping myself off with a towel and putting on my pants, I sat at the table and gestured for him to sit across from me.
The kid quickly ran over and sat down.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask you about yourselves."
"…About us?"
"You're humans, right? I'm curious about how you live."
"…."
"Just so you know."
I set the tone.
"If you lie or beat around the bush, I'll go straight to that Princess or whatever and tell her everything."
"O-Okay! Please… just not the Princess…."
I knew how shameful and embarrassing it would be to get scolded for staring at a woman's naked body.
Especially if a female superior found out, it would be mortifying.
The kid answered my questions earnestly.
It was nothing special.
Where they lived, what they ate, their daily routines, etc.
Then the conversation turned to Lena de Feron.
"The Princess sleeps in the room next to mine."
"Huh? You don't separate living quarters by gender?"
"The demons can't tell if we're male or female…."
"Ah, I see!"
Just as we can't tell the gender of monsters, they can't tell our gender by appearance either.
That was an interesting tidbit.
'Hmm… Next room, huh…'
[Are you planning to force yourself on her?]
Armonia cautiously asked me.
Honestly, if I wanted to force myself on her, I could.
If I asked King Gardia, he'd probably agree without hesitation, right?
He might even tie her up for me to play with.
But….
'I don't like that kind of thing.'
[….]
NTL (Netori) games often have ambiguous genres, and many of them start with a forced prologue to progress the story.
But forcing myself on someone without any emotional connection just for my own pleasure wasn't my style.
Most of those games had low ratings anyway.
[But given the current situation, do you think you can win the Princess's heart?]
'…Maybe start with her weaknesses?'
Starting with her weaknesses wasn't a bad idea.
It might seem like coercion, but it's not the same as outright rape.
I thought about using her weaknesses to break the ice.
'If there's no other way, I'll try it.'
[You and Viola have used 1,600 Enels for the warp. Excluding the return trip, you have 168,000 Enels left, so feel free to use them actively if it helps.]
'…Huh? Armonia.'
[Yes.]
'This isn't a mission, is it okay?'
I was a bit puzzled.
I thought she'd tell me not to waste Enel since it wasn't a mission.
[This is your rest time. If there's a way you'd like to rest, I'll actively support it.]
'Ugh… I love you!!!'
[Besides, these Enels are for your rest. I'd rather you use them as you see fit.]
I could feel the sincerity in Armonia's words.
I turned to the kid, who was staring blankly, and asked.
"What does the Princess usually do?"
The kid got excited when the topic of the Princess came up and started rambling.
Nine out of ten things he said were useless subjective opinions.
The only useful information was her daily routine.
"I don't know her bedtime. She always sleeps later than any of us…"
"Hmm…"
She's truly a remarkable person.
To stay sane while doing menial tasks she's never done before is impressive.
'Armonia.'
[Yes.]
'If… I wanted to seduce that Princess and bring her over to our side, how many Enels would it take?'
[Given her exceptional abilities, it would cost quite a bit. Roughly 70,000 Enels.]
'Wow….'
When I brought Viola over, it cost around 18,000 Enels.
It's a fee for registering someone based on their abilities.
Once registered with NTL Corporation using Enels, it only costs 800 Enels to warp them anywhere.
I decided to put the recruitment on hold for now.
I told the kid.
"Alright, you can go now. Bring a towel and water at this time tomorrow."
"…Yes."
He ran off after hearing my words, but not before glancing at the sleeping Viola one last time.
"She's out cold today. Armonia, bring up the Princess's traits."
[Understood.]
=====
[Name: Lena de Feron]
[-Traits-]
[Martial Arts], [Leadership Lv.38], [Self-Sacrifice], [Courage], [Boldness]…
=====
Even after seeing them again, her traits were impressive.
Regardless of levels or such, her leadership abilities were outstanding, in my opinion.
As I skimmed through her traits, something unusual caught my eye.
"…What's this?"
-[Guilt], [Suicidal Tendencies], [Nervous Breakdown]…-
Unlike the impressive traits listed earlier, the latter part was filled with signs of mental exhaustion.
It's a miracle she's still alive.
"Wow… Crazy…."
[It seems she's reached her mental limit, despite her outward appearance.]
Honestly, it's normal to be like that.
The world is now under the Demon King's control, and the Princess has lost everything.
Her country, her status, her people.
Because she pushed herself to the limit, her people have been reduced to livestock.
Moreover, as someone who fully understands the situation, she must be certain that everything is over.
Given that, it's amazing she's still alive.
But this fact was good news for me.
'The possibility just got a lot higher, didn't it?'
[But I'm worried if it's possible within a week. Unlike Sonya Fiedrich, she has no traits related to sexual desire.]
As Armonia said, she had no traits related to sexual desire.
Comforting and seducing her within a week?
I needed to try a different approach.
"For now, let's sleep and meet her in person tomorrow."
I slowly undressed Viola and used her sleeping body as a pillow, hugging her as I fell asleep.
***
"Oh! Finally met you, nya!"
"…Who are you, nya?"
As soon as I woke up in the morning, washed up, and left the room, I ran into the cat-eared, demon-winged gothic lolita girl I saw during dinner last night.
She was about 160 cm tall, with purple hair streaked with orange.
She had short hair, but long orange strands hung down on either side.
Her cat ears were outlined in orange but mostly purple.
Yesterday, I only saw her purple demon wings, but up close, I noticed she also had a long cat tail.
Her chest was around a D-cup? C-cup? She had a sexy yet cute face.
She was dressed in a gothic Lolita-style dress, exuding elegance.
She was the kind of being you'd never see in real life.
"Ahem! My name is Beatrice, nya."
"I'm Seong Suho, nya."
"…You don't have to copy the 'nya,' nya."
She says, while doing it herself…
[Would you like to see her traits?]
'Yeah, show me.'
=====
[Name: Beatrice]
[-Traits-]
[Magic], [Martial Arts], [Stealth Lv.12], [Cheerfulness], [Distractibility], [Extroversion]….
=====
Nothing special, really.
The only unique thing was that she had both magic and martial arts, which was a first for me.
'Show me the details of her magic.'
[Sure.]
As Armonia spoke, the magic text expanded, showing a sub-list.
Her magic traits were enough to wake me up completely.
