For now, I put away all the souvenirs and prepared some tea.
We sat down in the prepared chairs and began to talk.
「Let me get straight to the point. As for this 【Evil God Sprout】, right now there is no countermeasure once it has activated.」
「I see…」
「Is there really no way…?」
Marian spoke with an expression that was hard to read.
「Yeah. At least not at the 『current』 stage.」
「Then… will there be a way eventually?」
「Hmm… If we’re talking about a drug to counter it after activation, the answer is yes. But it could take decades, or maybe just weeks… Creating it solely from this drug would be difficult. Besides, if it’s just about removing the 『sprout』 itself, 『Anti-Curse』 would be much faster.」
「Like the way I used on those adventurers before…」
「Exactly. But if they’ve already used the awakening drug, the only option left is to defeat them…」
「Understood. I’ll let everyone know that if it comes to that, we have no choice but to eliminate them.」
「Yeah. Sorry about this.」
「Yes… I’m sorry.」
Both of them looked uncomfortable. They didn’t need to feel so bad about it.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
After returning from the gods’ realm, I gathered everyone in the room and explained about 【Evil God Sprout】 and its awakening drug.
「So drinking it normally gives a power boost, but combined with the 『sprout』 it turns someone into an Evil God… That’s really troublesome.」
「And only Yuuki-sama can dispel the 『sprout』.」
「Anyone who has already awakened must be defeated…」
「If someone uses it, will they all end up like that…?」
「Master! I’ll be fine, right!?」
Shia panicked. Well, she used to be one of Baldan’s minions, so of course she’s worried.
「It’s okay, it’s okay. Remember? I cast 『Anti-Curse』 on you the first time we met.」
「Oh… right… Thank goodness…」
Shia let out a huge sigh of relief. She didn’t need to worry that much, I’d figure something out.
「Just to be safe, want me to cast it again?」
「Eh!? N-No… that’s…」
「It’s natural to be worried. Why don’t you have him cast it one more time?」
「Yeah! Prevention is important! Yuuki-san said so himself!」
「B-But…」
She poked her fingers together awkwardly, looking embarrassed for some reason.
「Come on, Yuuki-sama. Shia is probably worried about something else entirely.」
「Something else?」
「Yes. She wants you to cast it again, but at the same time she feels bad for doubting your strength even for a moment.」
「———!?」
Shia broke out in a huge sweat. She’d been hit right on the mark. She didn’t need to worry about that at all…
「It’s okay, Shia. I’m not perfect either. Let me cast it on you again just to be safe.」
「N-No! Th-That’s not it!」
She frantically wiped her sweat and averted her eyes.
「It’s just… I hate myself for doubting Master’s power even for a second. And I’m happy you’d go out of your way to ease my anxiety. And also… having Master’s magic poured into me…」
The way she phrased that last part! And saying it while fidgeting like that makes it sound so suggestive!
「Y-Yeah… Having Yuuki-sama’s magic power poured in really does feel incredible…」
「I-I understand… That sensation… it’s irresistible…」
「Recovery magic and stuff. It feels like all my fatigue just melts away～」
「「「That’s a little different.」」」
Shia, Liliana, and Selene all denied it in unison. Wait… is there actually a difference in how magic feels when it’s poured in…?
「Yuuki-sama’s magic feels so comforting…」
「It-It makes my body heat up!」
「Honestly, it makes me horny.」
「Oi oi oi oi oi!?」
「Eh? Really?」
「Amilia, don’t ask while blushing like that!?」
「B-But…」
Amilia started fidgeting too. Wait, what’s with that face!?
「Yuuki-sama…」
「Wh-What is it, Liliana?」
「Let’s test it!」
「Ehh…」
Her eyes were dead serious… Her pupils were fully dilated.
「Come on! Come on come on come on come on!!」
She used Blood Frenzy Magic to bind my arms. Wait, Liliana-san, when did you get this good at controlling it!?
「W-Wait! Everyone, help!!」
「Yuuki… sorry!」
「Yuuki-san, excuse me!!」
My legs were pinned. Selene straddled me and started stripping off my clothes.
「Nooo, stopppp!?」
「Master… haa haa… pardon me… haa haa…」
「Ah…」
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
「I didn’t expect what I was given right away to be so useful…….」
I exhaled while soaking in the newly built bath attached to the castle. Right now everyone else is probably sprawled out in the room, so I can finally relax.
「Man, that was rough～」
「Yes… Wait!? Noctarl-san!?」
「Yoo-hoo. Work finally settled down, so I came for a bath. Saw you were alone and decided to join you.」
「Th-That’s… fine, but…」
「Good, good. I actually had something I wanted to talk about anyway… Nn… fuu…」
Noctarl-san stretched widely. All that paperwork must have given him stiff shoulders.
「Something to talk about? Ah, I’ll cast recovery magic.」
「Ah, thanks… Ooh, this feels good～ The knots are melting away～」
The soft glow of recovery magic enveloped him. Noctarl-san’s face flushed with relief.
「By the way… my recovery magic doesn’t make people feel weird, right?」
「What’s with the sudden question…? Well, it does feel like warmth slowly seeping in from the inside, easing fatigue, like a long soak in this bath. But nothing strange happens.」
「Yeah… I figured…」
I explained everything to the puzzled Noctarl-san, skipping the more embarrassing details.
「Hahaha! Sounds like you had a hard time!」
「Yeah… it was pretty rough…」
「Anyway, back to your first question. The reason the Saintess and the girls reacted differently is because you used 『Pleasure Contract』. That spell channels magic through the lewd crest, so it creates that kind of sensation. Their bodies remember the feeling now.」
「That sounds like it could cause a lot of problems…」
「Well, only succubi can use it properly. Normal demons or humans can’t cast it at all…」
「Seriously…?」
「But you’re special, Yuuki-dono. And once you get used to it, you can even control how much of that aroused feeling reaches the slave side. Keep at it.」
Noctarl-san gave me a big, encouraging smile. I really don’t want to use it much…
「Anyway, we got way off topic. Let’s get to the main point.」
「Eh? Ah, yes…」
「What’s wrong? Want to talk more about that kind of thing?」
「N-No! I’m fine…」
Talking about that stuff with my father-in-law is way too embarrassing…
「Hahaha! All right then. The real topic.」
He turned to face me properly.
