173 – The Eradication Squad -2

“The mad magician, first take off… no, get away from here, no, first take off and then speak.”

“What are you talking about…?!”

It’s not a joke; it’s a crisis of chastity.

I could see the struggle between instinct and reason in Pingvallez’s wide-open eyes. Her hand went up and down repeatedly.

I could read the trajectory of her hesitation. Trying to knock me down, then stopping. Trying to restrain and tie up my limbs, then stopping. I trembled at her threatening movements.

“First, calm down, Pingvallez. It’s because of my magic…!!”

“Calm, calm? I think it’s not calmness but heat you’re feeling.”

“Calm down!”

“Get heated up.”

A blatant hunger is shot at me. And then, that expression.

The trademark indifferent expression, almost unemotional, changes into a hazy look of unbearable longing for you.

Thump.

As the situation became more and more serious, my heart was racing wildly.

“Didn’t I tell you I liked your eyes?” I said.

“No, you didn’t,” he replied. “But in this situation, it’s okay not to.”

“Show me your bottom.”

“That’s sudden. No, I won’t. Ah, no.”

My lips started trembling.

Up until now, her temptations had always been playful. Therefore, I could have retreated a step back and maintained my distance.

Even if I had crossed the line, I could have held on to my sanity because she was my friend. It was just a shallow, superficial communication, like a quick touch-and-go.

From noble mtl dot come

I had to act.

Tap, tap. Yuri Ranser was approaching.

I had to block him. Since the pheromone had already spread, I had to neutralize it by sprinkling the pheromone neutralizer. And in the meantime, I could use the Time-Magic to stall for time.

I had to do it.

“……”

Her gaze.

I felt like I’d been hit by a curse. Was this the power of a succubus? My body seemed to have frozen, unable to move. When I faced such a passionate gaze, my mind became muddled and disoriented.

Mumble.

Yuri Ranser’s chest pressed against mine. I even stopped breathing.

No, even if that was the case. Even if we were to wake up together in the same bed, naked and exposed, one morning. This was not the way to do it.

What was happening was due to the magic that had gotten me excited. I was like a person under hypnosis, like I had turned on the mind-control app. Yeah, Yuri Ranser wouldn’t even look at me. Maybe I would even be cursed.

“……” Urgently, I tried to move on.

In the corner of my mind, I was thinking of something else. I wasn’t going to make magic so easily.

‘Getting close and inhaling a large amount of pheromone’ meant a contact that was as close as breathing. I didn’t want Yuri Ranser to get confused.

And before the situation unfolded, there was a sufficient distance between Pinvalle and me. My magic would have only had a slight effect.

That meant. It was the same conclusion as the emotion amplification magic I used last time.

The magic that amplified emotions by 1% had caused her to lose control of her desires, and now she was overflowing with them.

So, this temptation too, was a result of her already being tempted. Therefore, it was possible to interpret that it was a more intense effect than usual. So, maybe.

Yuri Ranser might have feelings for me──

“Get away, crazy magician! Stop it, senior!”

Pinvalle shouted, holding up a whip. As the scene unfolded in real-time, I was frozen in shock, and now my mind was finally clear.

Both of us, Yuri Ranser and I, had a moment of sanity in our gazes.

And we simultaneously made a judgment. If we missed this timing, we would have crossed an irreparable line and had to break off. We have to cut it off now!

“‘Three-Phase s*xual Control’.”

“Metamorphosis, ‘Original Desire Constraint’.”

The yin and yang had crossed.

Charrrr…!!

The sound of the chain being unwound and my body being tightly bound to Pinabelle’s was like a nightmare. It was as if we were tangled up in a mess. As a result, I could feel her sensuous body pressed against mine, but it was meaningless.

Holding each other close and feeling each other’s skin was not unusual. Living together in harmony with the world was only natural.

My heart was calm and peaceful. Pinabelle also seemed to have found inner peace within the time provided by the metamorphosis.

Kamalle was trying to break free from the chain that bound me and Pinabelle together.

“Damn magician, you’re a son of a…!! Let go!”

The two of us, who had gained enlightenment, calmly scolded Kamalle.

“Ah, why are you jealous? We’re just sharing warmth with each other.”

“That’s right, Seryl. You should not overreact just because we’re in contact. What’s the meaning of material interaction? And you don’t understand.”

“…??”

“I don’t have the right to interfere with you and another man, even if I do. You and I are not on good terms.”

Ah, that’s it.

Pinabelle was a fact machine that honestly answered every question.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face, and I’m glad to see you again. But your excessive interest has always been uncomfortable. Now I have to say no for the 37th time.”

“Ah…!!”

Kamalle let out a loud, elephant-like cry and burst into tears. The crying sound was surprisingly cute. Anyway, I thought this was the end of the traffic jam.

Since I was caught off guard, I judged that Kamalle’s sinister plan to take Pinabelle away had been foiled. However, since there was the 37th time, I realized that there would also be a 38th.

The two of them, who had stopped crying, straightened their hair and put on a good appearance, as if trying to impress. It was as if they were saying:

“I still like my senior!”

“No, I don’t.”

“Ugh…”.

I seemed to understand the relationship between the two. I felt relieved.

Pinabelle and I continued to chat while tied up in chains. Although it may look strange from the outside, we couldn’t untie ourselves until the end of the time, so there was no other way.

“Let me introduce you. This is Seryl, my former colleague from the previous department.”

“Previous department, you mean ‘The Silent Department’? That… the new costume you saw in my closet.”

“Yes.”

“You still have your uniform, senior!! I knew it. I believed you would come back to my side!”

Black Léz, rejected for the 38th time, was hopping around, gulping down kimchi soup by the liter. I quietly floated an image of a hand with the middle finger raised using illusion magic, and Black Léz, seeing that, raised her middle finger too.

“…What did you do at the Annihilation Squad that got Léz all twisted up?”

“Well, it must be because I’m such a charming devilish woman.”

“That’s true.”

“…It’s a bit embarrassing when you agree so readily. You crazy sorcerer.”

“……..”

I hurriedly calmed my heart, which had undergone a 1.5 times increase in heartbeat due to the event. The straightforward Pink Léz’s attack power was incredibly high. If I’m not careful with the conversation, I might have to use the fourth stage of s*xual desire suppression.

“Well… I didn’t do anything special there. I just quietly went about my assigned tasks. I wasn’t trying to seduce anyone.”

“Yes, Senior Yuri, you were the lone wolf of the Annihilation Squad. With a mission success rate close to 100% and an overflowing cool aura. You were the object of admiration for the juniors of the squad!”

“A lone wolf?”

“Seris is making a fuss. Don’t call me that.”

It’s hard to imagine.

Pink Léz, even when we first met, didn’t she approach me with a good-natured joke? So naturally, I thought she must have been the type to harass junior girls.

But seeing the expression of Black Léz, shining with sincere admiration, it seems the image of Pink Léz during her time at the Annihilation Squad was quite different.

“So… what were you doing?”

“……..”

I shuddered.

I still hoped that Pink Léz didn’t know about this incident. It was my own decision, and I didn’t ask for her opinion, so it was presumptuous. But.

If she harbored enough resentment, the moment she got a clue to chase after the Succubus Queen… I feared she might suddenly leave my side. That’s why I didn’t want to tell her.

I was about to beat around the bush when.

“Oh, it’s nothing… You know the succubus we found last time. There were some underlings left, so I went to clean up…”

“We are searching for the path to the ‘Nest,’ the dwelling of the Succubus Queen, Senior!”

“…Aha.”

Right, Black Léz was there.

Pink Léz nodded as if she understood everything, then comfortably rested her chin on my shoulder. And she said in a calm voice.

“Did you consider my feelings? You crazy sorcerer.”

Her voice seemed to say, ‘I can see right through you.’ I became as flustered as a child caught in a lie.

“…Sorry. I got greedy.”

“No, I understand. I would have done the same in your position.”

Does she really understand?

If so… would she stay by my side? Instead of leaving for revenge, just stay. Linger here with me.

“But.”

Cutting through my hopes, Yuri’s voice came through.

“This is truly important to me.”

“……..”

“Choosing to work as a defense agent instead of living a peaceful life, not neglecting my training, opting for this lifestyle. It was all for one purpose.”

Since the village burned down.

“I enjoyed the days spent with you. I won’t deny that. Having a relationship as friends… it was my first time. This daily life is precious to me too.”

“So, with me…”

“Still, hobbies can’t take precedence over work, can they?”

“……..”

How should I put it?

Was it spite, betrayal, or a sense of deprivation? I felt such emotions.

Is she leaving?

Words spoken in a state of honest sincerity carry a different weight. I felt a deep, firmly driven nail from her declaration. Yuri Lancer is going to leave.

According to the documents Kirby passed on, there had been no way to track down the Succubus Queen’s abode. It was a tightly kept secret, with no information forthcoming even after capturing several succubi.

So… everything was at a standstill. It seemed that Pingballez was also waiting for an opportunity for revenge while carrying out other missions.

Assigned to the “Annihilation Squad,” which is deployed first on high-risk missions. Waiting for the day to take revenge on the queen…

Waiting, tired of the endless wait.

So she left the “Annihilation Squad” and changed her assignment to a regular field agent. And by the decree of the Second Prince, she became my dedicated agent.

Then, I… I seized the opportunity.

I created the chance to track down the Succubus Queen.

Maybe I should have just captured that succubus and made her disappear. Then perhaps none of this would have happened.

If I had stolen and hidden the winged robe…

Thump.

Interrupting my thoughts, Yuri’s voice was heard.

“I have a debt to repay to the Succubus Queen. It’s not that I’m leaving forever, Magician. After I strangle the queen to death, I will return here.”

“Do you think I would welcome back someone who once left?”

“Yes, I will accept it.”

“Right, you’ll accept it…”

If it’s a matter already decided, then yes. Let’s accept it. They say you can’t sleep soundly without achieving revenge. And Yuri Lannister is a strong person. She will surely accomplish her goal and return.

Besides, I can help. Yuna will help too. The number 1 and 2 of the Purple Tower will join forces, and we’ll just twist whatever queen or whatever into a pretzel.

That will do.

There’s nothing to worry about.

Yuri Lannister said with a smile,

“If you wish for me to quickly finish my revenge and return… then you’ll have to help me earnestly. Isn’t that right?”

“…Yes. That’s what we should do.”

Let’s get a grip. Let go of the anxiety and regret, and as she said, let’s help her. I arrange the spell formula again and activate the magic. There’s no need to adjust the power. Pingballez has already written the metaphor.

“Sugar Lump.”

I activate the magic on a scale that covers the entire academy. The magical pheromones spread again, and as we wait for a bite,

“There’s a delicious smell here… Huh?”

A succubus appears, lured by the pheromones. She looks at me, the source of the smell, and then at Pingballez, who is also chained up with me.

And then, after seeing Black Lannister, eyes glaring and whip in hand,

“…A trap? Someone’s already been caught?”

Yes, it does look suspicious. Drawn by the delicious smell, not expecting to see people posed to catch a succubus.

Even Pingballez, a fellow succubus, is wrapped up in chains, so it would be stranger not to realize it’s a trap.

Then, Pingballez calmly said,

“Yes, it’s a trap. So, will you not come?”

“Uh, uh… No, I must go.”

The succubus, entranced by the hypnotic-grade pheromones, couldn’t resist her instincts.

She approaches with an awkward gait and sticks close to me. Then Pingballez moves the chains and binds her too.

Now the three of us are tied up.

Like that, sort of… like a sticky trap for cockroaches, we caught the succubi. It wasn’t much to look at, but it was effective.

After Pingballez’s metaphor duration ended, and we folded up the succubus to extract information, we were able to find out our next destination.

“There’s a path leading to the ‘Nest’ inside the mind of the Third Prince Sledo Crown?”

“Exactly, one of the paths is there.”

“I know, man.”

Again, entangled with the royal bloodline. This makes it a triple crown achievement.

Blacklez, having already confronted Alexson, now seems intent on challenging the prince, holding devices in both hands to test those bewitched by the succubus, ready to set off.

“Then let’s storm in and conduct the test…”

“Royal blood is royal blood. As reckless as you are, even a slight misstep could cost you your head, Blacklez. Think before you act!”

After I scolded Blacklez, Pinballez gently placed a hand on my shoulder and whispered quietly.

“It doesn’t seem fitting for a mad sorcerer to say such things. You know that, right?”

From noble mtl dot come

“…”

I was at a loss for words.

The mad sorcerer who used to charge in headfirst, starting with ‘You, the Emperor of Neglect,’ is no more. I’ve come up with a perfect plan where everyone is safe, and no one gets hurt.

A way to avoid a severe scolding by the royal power later on.

“We’ve caught the succubus.”

“Yes.”

“So let’s disguise ourselves as those succubi and meet the Third Prince.”

“Yes?”

It’s an undercover identity.
