Chapter 55: 55. Male Prostitute Jang Ryu-o?

Ryu-o hurriedly pulled on his pants as if he were pressed for time.

Crash, bang!

"I’ll see you again soon, Master! I’ll be going now!"

Sylvia reached out toward Ryu-o as he rushed to leave.

"W-Wait, Ryu-o! You need to dry yourself before you go—"

"It’s fine!"

"Ah..."

Sylvia thought to herself.

It was completely over...

He had turned down her invitation to dine, and he had turned down her goodwill, too.

He was always smiling whenever he looked at her, and it had made her impatient.

She had thought she was different from other women.

They said that when a man smiled at you, it was just because he was kind or did not want to be disliked.

But when he smiled at her, Sylvia had assumed he liked her and made a move on him.

Now that she had been so thoroughly rejected, her face burned with an indescribable humiliation.

"Ha... What was I even..."

Sylvia muttered as she sank into self-loathing.

Meidel, who had been lying flat beside her, cautiously raised her head and looked at her master.

"Um, Master..."

Sylvia was already overwhelmed enough, and today Meidel, who had caused her trouble, looked especially detestable.

A curt response slipped from Sylvia’s lips.

"Meidel! What on earth were you doing behind that door—"

"Do you perhaps like Ryu-o?"

"Huh? Wha? What?"

Watching Sylvia fall into a panic in an instant, Meidel sighed.

"Ha... Master, what are you going to do?"

At Meidel’s now utterly certain tone, Sylvia stuck out her lips in a pout.

"What’s wrong with me..."

"You need to know who you can and can’t set your sights on!"

Meidel’s words dealt Sylvia a devastating blow.

What was supposedly wrong with her?

In her entire life, she had never been outclassed anywhere because of her looks.

And she was even a guildmaster, so she had a high salary!

That was what Sylvia’s expression said.

Seeing that sulky face, Meidel shook her head.

"There’s a bit of an age gap, you know."

At Meidel’s attack, Sylvia’s temper flared.

"I’m a half-elf! In human years, I’m—hey! I’m fresh and..."

Meidel scooped up a handful of dirt and threw it straight into Sylvia’s blazing eyes.

"He’s Arin’s disciple, the only person in Labyrinth City Velanis who is personally acquainted with the Heavenly Demon, has caught the young lady’s eye and has a path to noble success open before him, and is ninety percent guaranteed to join the expedition party."

"That’s true..."

"And you might resign in a few years, Master. Then you’ll be a complete commoner—just a half-elf with money."

"You... you..."

"From now on, women with more ability, higher status, and even more money are going to swarm all over him..."

"Ah... ngh..."

"And do you know how old Ryu-o is? He’s only twenty-two. If he eventually has children and has to raise them... do you think the young lady will just stand by?"

"I-I’ll take care of the children..."

Meidel gave a faint smile.

"You’ve already thought as far as having his children, Master?"

...Honestly, she had.

But Sylvia felt wronged.

What woman would not imagine having great-grandchildren and living happily ever after when a man who looked like that got hard for her?

Every night, Sylvia had grinned to herself while imagining boldly giving birth to a daughter who looked like Ryu-o and a son who looked like Ryu-o.

She wondered if Meidel had installed some kind of surveillance magic tool in her house.

The next move of someone beaten down by facts was obvious.

"Get out!!! Go write ten pages of the hospitality manual! And write an incident report too!"

"M-Master!"

"Out!"

"That’s not fairrr!"

Sylvia kicked Meidel out and slammed the door shut, fuming.

Inside the empty room after everyone had gone...

Having been thoroughly beaten down, Sylvia trudged over to the sofa.

Plop!

"...What’s wrong with me?"

She was allowed to fantasize, wasn’t she?

Then Sylvia suddenly remembered Ryu-o’s face when he had kicked her away with a loud thump!

"Aaaah! That was so embarrassing!"

Sylvia tensed up and writhed about.

Once the strength left her body, post-nut clarity came crashing down.

Right. What was the point of any of this when it was already over?

She should just work.

Sylvia placed Ryu-o’s clothes, which she had carefully kept in her storage space, on top of her desk.

"If I send these to the duke’s estate..."

At that moment, a dark desire flashed through her mind.

Ryu-o definitely... had that sticky scent...

Perhaps because he had only just returned from the dungeon, it was a scent that made her nose tingle and her thighs clench.

Every night, Sylvia had suffered because she kept recalling that scent.

But she was not a goblin. She could not let her lust get the better of her and use Ryu-o as masturbation material.

So Sylvia had merely suffered in silence and ignored her desires.

But there was one feeling that shattered Sylvia’s patience...

It was regret, along with a small measure of resentment.

Honestly, he had gotten h-hard! Hey! He had rubbed that monstrous thing against her and blushed too.

He had even pressed her stomach once. With something as thick as his forearm.

What woman would not get the wrong idea after that...?

This much should be okay...

Hesitantly, Sylvia picked up Ryu-o’s clothes.

Though nobody was around, Sylvia still glanced around her once.

Then she pressed her nose to the chest of the garment and sniffed.

"Sniff, sniff! Haa... This is crazy..."

Ryu-o’s scent, concealed beneath her own.

A warm, rich male scent.

It was not an overpoweringly strong smell, but what mattered was Sylvia’s memories.

The memory of the sweat-drenched Ryu-o lifting her into his arms.

His broad chest, all hard, sharply defined muscles—so wide she could not even wrap her arms around it.

That veiny, monstrous thing between his powerful spread thighs.

The memory of that thick, rugged thing rubbing against her own.

Of course, it had been an accident caused by Sylvia’s mistake, but with her nose buried in his clothes, she had no room to care about that.

Clench...♥

"W-Why am I really doing this? Haa... Sniff—ah, this is insane..."

The forbidden thrill of doing this in her workplace. The sexual desire that had been steadily building up for weeks.

All of it tangled with that memory, making Sylvia’s womb tighten deeply.

"I... shouldn’t do this... I shouldn’t..."

Sylvia threw off the clothes that would interfere with what she intended to do next.

Her white clothes, which would show stains so clearly...

One of Sylvia’s hands clutched Ryu-o’s clothes tightly, while the other naturally slid down below.

Sylvia was an office worker under a great deal of stress.

Rub, rub, rub...♥

For an hour, she repeated Ryu-o’s name to his clothes.

**

I didn’t see anything. I’m not falling for it. I can endure...

As I repeated those thoughts, my brain abruptly stopped.

I had already cheated, so what was I even...

I shook my head and brushed away the negative thoughts rushing in.

"...I should take care of my business and get out of here."

My main purpose today was to stop by the essence shop in the west and the magic tower.

The Blue Tower Lord had told me to visit sometime, but far too much time had passed.

Is she going to be mad?

I decided I would think about that when I got there.

As I walked straight west, people started sneaking glances at me.

Damn...

Holy shit... That’s insane...

Should we try talking to him?

Huh? That’s him!

After training Qi Sense, I could hear the murmurs more clearly than before.

What?

When I raised a hand to my chin, water was dripping from the end of my sleeve.

Come to think of it, I had just doused myself with cold water.

The fabric was not transparent enough to show what was underneath, but it was clinging to my body.

Ha... Am I an idiot?

My head and body had been burning, so I fled in a hurry, but I regretted it a little.

Besides, the central district was where I had once walked with my master.

Should I go back to the guild, change clothes, then come out again?

No. I did not have the nerve to go back inside.

I fled into a back alley, then ran across the rooftops.

Whatever. They’ll dry while I’m on my way. I’m a man; this much is nothing...

**

The western district of Labyrinth City Velanis.

Magic crystal lamps adorned the sides of broad cobblestone streets. The scent of freshly baked bread filled the air, while students in academy uniforms wandered about carrying wands and swords.

Merchants baked bread in braziers powered by magic crystals, while vendors along the street sold toys and accessories embedded with magic crystals.

The citizens seemed remarkably close to magic crystals.

With both the magic tower and Labyrinth City Velanis here, the district was famous for conveniences that put even the imperial capital to shame.

Labyrinth City Velanis supplied the mana stones, and the magic tower researched and developed them.

The citizens who lived in this center of magic crystals were always smiling.

Yet even in the western district, there was one old woman unable to smile, her face twisted into a deep frown...

Bang, bang, bang!

"Adela Orléans! Get out here this instant! How many days has it been since you last went to the academy?!"

This was the Blue Magic Tower, the third most famous place in the western district.

For reference, first was the academy. Second was the young lady’s villa. Anyway...

The Blue Tower Lord, Linen Orléans, was pounding furiously on the tightly shut door to her granddaughter’s laboratory.

"If you don’t come out right now, you’ll drown in that laboratory!"

The Blue Tower Lord had a splitting headache because her granddaughter had suddenly run away from the dormitory and secluded herself here.

She did not know what had happened, but her granddaughter had been like this for a month now.

She had suddenly looked as though she had given up on everything, gone into her room, and become like this.

She had originally been arrogant and headstrong, but now she shut herself in her room and would not say a word...

Even after contacting the academy, they said they knew nothing, leaving the Blue Tower Lord frustrated to death.

Finally reaching the end of her patience, the Blue Tower Lord pulled out a staff set with a blue gem.

"Come out by the time I count to three! One! Two!"

Bang!

The door opened for the first time in a month, revealing a girl who had become a complete wreck in that time.

Her blue hair was unkempt and messy, and her once-bright eyes were hollow and lifeless.

"A-Adela! What have you done to yourself?!"

Adela gritted her teeth and shouted at her grandmother.

"Go! Just get the hell out! Leave me alone!!!!"

Seeing the girl meant to become her successor acting like this made the Blue Tower Lord’s blood boil as well.

"You little bitch, I fed you, housed you, taught you, raised you! Ah, fuck! I’ve done so much for you! And what? You’re telling me to get out? You ungrateful little bitch!"

"I said you’re being loud! I’ll handle it myself, so just go!"

"At least tell me why! Or I’ll throw you back into the dormitory!"

Her only granddaughter turned bright red and shoved the Blue Tower Lord away.

"No! I won’t go even if I die! Just kill me!"

To dare ask her grandmother to kill her.

The Blue Tower Lord snapped. She bound Adela in rings of water and lifted her into the air.

Whooom! Splaash!

"Aaaah! Let me go!"

"Shut up! If you don’t tell me why, I’ll throw you into the academy, so get that through your head!"

As she came down to the first floor with her granddaughter tightly bound, every mage’s gaze turned toward them.

Oh dear... What’s gotten into the young lady?

Who knows? Maybe she’s going through puberty.

Puberty? If I’d gone through puberty at her age, my master would’ve shot a Water Blade into my head.

Nothing could have been more humiliating.

But Adela did not care in the slightest.

"Let go! I said let me go!"

"Shut uuuup before I gag you too!!!"

How did she become the Blue Tower Lord? Her temper is completely like the Red Tower Lord’s. Pwahaha! Cough! Cough, cough!

She’s usually so easygoing, though~

"All of you, get back to work!"

Yes, ma’am~

With veins bulging on her forehead, the Blue Tower Lord headed outside...

Whoosh!

"Hm? Young man?"

She ran into Ryu-o, who flew in from somewhere, right at the entrance.

Seeing what was under the Blue Tower Lord’s robe for the first time, Ryu-o’s eyes went round.

"That voice... Grandma Blue Tower Lord?"

Adela looked back and forth between them before letting out a shriek.

"You called that male prostitute here again!!?!"

"...? Huh?"
