Chapter 5 – Sophia
“There’s evidence pointing to your collusion with those alchemists oooh, Ewan!”
It was not a cave, but a room as cold as a cave.
The man sitting in the only chair in the room glared at Ewan with a stern look.
“Even if you weren’t behind that kind of ‘leave the demons out of it’ behavior, it still doesn’t change the fact that yesterday’s ceremony was disrupted by the Alchemists. I’ll have to picket you for negligence of duty by those in charge.”
“┅The failure to prevent yesterday’s riot before it happened is indeed the result of my incompetence. Cardinal…”
Ewan bowed his head respectfully.
“However, the circulation of such rumors that I have secret dealings with alchemists is really regrettable to me.”
“Oh… So, you’re saying there’s no such fact!”
The old man, whom he addressed as Cardinal, continued to look at Ewan with the sharpness of an eagle’s eye.
But Ewan was not impressed in the least.
“Why would I, who hitherto had no qualms about breaking my bones for the sake of the Order, act in a way that would harm the Order?”
“┅In that case, I’ll take your word for it. You were originally my right-hand man and an indispensable person for the Order. But even so, you must still take responsibility for yesterday’s terrible incident.”
Impressed by his sight, the Cardinal gave instructions.
“Evil migrant parties who have defiled the sacred rituals must be made to ‘return’. If this cannot be accomplished successfully, their blood will be used as an offering to the Sincere Supreme Lord.”
“I see, Cardinal…”
Ewan bowed his head in reverence once more and exited the room.
Through the wall, his mutterings would no longer be heard by the Cardinal.
“Heh… Anyway, let’s ask them to step up their game. There’s a level of boldness that seems like it should be worth looking forward to.”
Watts the next day of their cave trip.
“Don’t worry, she can talk and has eaten something, and is out of danger physically and mentally.”
“┅Great!”
Watt always breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lucai’s words.
“It would be better for you, on the contrary, to sleep a little longer. Maria and Naret are both still sleeping.”
“No, I’m already awake.”
Bitterly smiling Watt, fatigue still on his face.
Yesterday’s rescue operation seemed to have consumed a considerable amount of energy.
But he doesn’t sleep well.
He was too worried about Sophia’s condition to rest properly.
If it wasn’t for Ruchae’s words last night, “Go get some rest now”, which drove him to the dormitory, he might have stayed up all night.
“Only, when asking her about what happened in the cave, always remember to be a little more cautious; if she is too hasty and reminds her of unpleasant things, she is likely to become mentally unstable again.”
“┅Yes!”
Thinking of Sophia’s abnormality yesterday, Watt’s expression changed for a second.
As he was facing this expression, he raised the question that he suddenly realized.
“By the way, who prepared what she ate?”
“Of course it’s me, you’re all asleep already.”
“I didn’t know that… Director… could cook?”
“┅”
Just as Luchai was about to protest to him.
“That…”
The door to the living room burst open.
Appearing from behind the door – was Sophia.
It had been too urgent to notice when she was rescued, but now that I had settled down to examine her more closely, I realized that she was a young girl with a tight mouth and sharp eyes that gave the impression of fortitude.
On her body, she was wearing the same uniform as Maria and Narete. It was roughly what Lucai had prepared to wear for her who was naked.
“Ah…”
Watt looked dumbfounded at the same time.
Lucai was suddenly ready to leave.
“Watt, then it’s all yours. Sophia, ask him anything.”
“S… Director, wait…”
She ignored Watt and went on her way to her research choke.
Suddenly alone with Sophia.
Watts tensed up.
“Ah, that, your body, is it okay already?”
Speaking has also become extremely unnatural.
Sophia was more unnatural than he was.
“Ah… No, I’m not sick…”
“Ah, I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Watt.”
“I know, I just heard it…”
It seemed she wasn’t as cold as her appearance gave her away.
However, though I don’t know if she was nervous due to the substantial first meeting, her voice and expression were equally stiff, as if she wasn’t quite able to chat.
Watt’s look of not knowing what to do caused Sophia to also blush a little and lower her head.
“That, I’m sorry, that’s how I originally spoke. I appreciate everything you guys have done for me.”
“Ah, yes, yes? But the one who insisted on going to save you was Maria, so if you want to say thank you, go and say thank you to her later, ahahahaha…”
(┅That’s unnatural, isn’t it? Why am I talking so stiffly?)
Watt laughed along with him while mentally cursing his own clumsiness.
The unnaturalness that Watt felt spread to the Institute as a whole.
The biggest reason is still the opportunity for Sophia to come here, that weird ‘shrine’ abduction incident, I guess.
I couldn’t ask, but I wanted to – but what happened in that cave is not something you can just ask, ‘Hey, that thing…’.
It was because the alien light from the altar (and perhaps Sophia’s pleasure at her own ‘infatuation’) was still burning in front of her eyes that Watt and the others-including Narett, who had no qualms about doing anything, became squirmy.
Since Sophia said ‘at least pay off the lodging with this’ and started helping with the chores of the institute, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity to talk to her.
But… in addition to the above, and given Sophia’s silence, people were never able to communicate with her very well.
Even today, a week after Sophia’s arrival at the Institute, Watt was tired from his session with Sophia and exhausted immediately after work.
“Hey… I know she’s a good girl, though…”
Watt collapsed onto the bed in his dorm room.
Muttering to himself.
“You don’t need to be as lively as Naret, but it would be better for her if she was at least a little more cheerful. At least let us know what she likes and dislikes…”
Even though he knew it was bad, he had to be extra careful with Sophia.
And, can’t quite ‘naturally’ worry about her.
All of a sudden.
“Mr. Watt, good night.”
After a discreet knock, Sophia’s voice was heard.
“You’re still awake, aren’t you?”
“Oi? Ah, not yet.”
Watt was startled and greeted her as she entered the room.
Then rush to close the door and question her.
“What can I do for you this late?”
Sofia didn’t answer him right away. It seemed as if she was debating whether she should or shouldn’t speak.
However, after being told by Watt ‘If it’s something difficult to talk about, you can answer me tomorrow.’ After that, she seemed to have made up her mind instead.
“That, one thing, please teach me.”
“Teach you?”
“Please take a look…”
Suddenly…
Sophia lifted the hem of her dress.
What was exposed was tender, light-colored hair.
“！？”
It’s too sudden.
Watt stared in disbelief.
Sophia was actually not wearing any panties.
Alarmed, Watt reached out to pull her skirt down.
“No, you can’t do such a thing… wahhh!”
However, he was pulled back by Sophia’s hand, lost his balance, and fell into the bed.
“What are you doing…!”
Watt tried to get up in protest, but his mouth was open and he couldn’t speak.
Because Sophia spread her white thighs on the bed, the entire lower half of her body, which had nothing on, was exposed to Watt’s sight.
A distressed expression appeared on Sophia’s reddened face as she said to him.
“I want to be sure of one thing. It’s going to be very disturbing if this continues…”
(Me, I’m only upset that I’ll be out of control!) Watt hissed in his mind.
Where the two slender legs wrapped in dark blue stockings-meet was Sophia’s petals.
The part that Harajae absolutely could not help but cover, she herself opened without a care in the world. This kind of behavior wouldn’t mean anything other than a sign of love to Watt.
Sophia blushed her cheeks, frowned, and slightly turned her face back to Watt. This inciting action caused Watt’s lower body to react in defiance of reason.
(Hey, hey, how did I get excited!?)
First of all, it was still unknown what Sophia’s true intentions were. Under normal considerations, it was impossible for her to suddenly run here, dressed like this!
But-Sophia opened her lips and whispered softly towards him who was desperately admonishing himself to suppress his lust.
“Please… please look.”
“Huh!?”
“Mr. Watts… please touch here…”
Herself, it wouldn’t be a misunderstanding.
It was Sophia’s active seduction.
(Why, why! Is it really possible!)
As Watt asked himself.
Sophia remained motionless.
Just keep your head down like you’re enduring shame.
Looking at her, Watt’s rationality almost completely collapsed under the weight of what she said and his own instincts.
(Would… if he refused her again, would he instead make her feel even more ashamed?) After barely convincing himself of this, he warily brought his hand to the center of Sofya’s legs.
As soon as her fingers touched Sophia’s thighs, Sophia’s whole body trembled lightly and moaned out as if she could hardly hold back her nervousness and shyness.
“Aaah…”
“Can I touch the base of my thigh?”
Watt tried to be as rational as possible, but instead he was more original. Sophia nodded with a soft shudder after his question.
Her reaction made Watt make a final decision and without hesitation, he buried his fingers in her tender hairs.
Then, rubbing along the outside of the fleshy wall, he gave it a gentle squeeze.
“Ah…”
As she watched, Sophia’s thighs began to flush as well.
Watt confirmed it with a sideways glance while squeezing and rubbing the walls of her flesh, then squeezing from above the bud hidden at one end.
“Uh-huh… ah…”
Sophia’s waist, reflexively trying to escape his finger technique but unable to do so, only continued to tremble more than ever.
Triggered by the all too tantalizing writhing, Watt couldn’t stand it and tried to insert his entire finger into Sofia.
“It hurts!”
Sofia wailed in a small voice. Watt panicked and pulled his fingers out.
“Ah, sorry!”
“No, it’s okay…”
Even when she said it didn’t matter, he couldn’t think so.
Watts quietly lowered Sophia’s body and inserted his fingers once more discreetly.
“Yea…!”
In an instant, Sophia’s body stiffened. Watt’s finger plunged shallowly for several times before putting it in deeply again.
After a few repetitions, at some point Sophia’s body had flooded with moisture that drew into Watt’s fingers without resistance.
Gradually, the sweet fragrance of Sophia had filled the entire room.
“Ya, uh-ah… ah-ah!”
The moans, too, grew louder.
After lightly pinching the red protrusion that was exposed from the covered skin, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…!” Sofya then raised her waist and swayed her body.
Wet, sticky nectar that flowed from her slit to her ass hole and finally dripped down onto the sheets.
Thi’te kept jutting his nectar-soaked fingers into the cracks of Sophia’s flesh walls. It was as if he heard a bit of noise from outside the room, but he couldn’t distract himself from those little things and pumped Sophia with all his heart.
“Look, my fingers are going in and out of you…”
Watt whispered in her ear.
At that moment, Sophia blushed red and said strange things.
“That, Mr. Watt, did I… flow out?”
“Eh? What do you… mean?”
“It’s, uh, feminine fluid that comes out when you feel something…”
“Ah, it’s flowing much better, yo!”
Watt replied as he tried to scoop up her fluids with his tongue.
But Sophia, for some reason, rushed away from Watt.
Then, touch-molding your own fluids with both hands, gaze at your hands with a serious expression.
“Is it strange to come out so much… am I?”
“Not weird at all.” Watt said, rather surprised.
“Because it’s so comfortable, it’s not surprising in the least.”
What Sufiya went on to say startled Watt again.
“┅Everyone, is it like that?”
“Everyone?”
“When a girl is touched, does her body heat up like this and feel pleasure…?”
A moment of confusion.
The strange words Sophia had spoken a few minutes ago were now solved.
“So… when you said ‘wanting to be sure of one thing’, you meant this.”
Seeing Watt’s face cloud over, Sophia was also a bit frustrated.
“I’m sorry.”
“┅It’s okay, get dressed.”
“┅Yes!”
In the awkward atmosphere, Sophia wiped her sweat and resumed the costume she had worn before entering the room.
When she had finished straightening her costume, Watt spoke to her.
“Sophia, why don’t you just use the question in the first place for something like this?”
“┅”
“I’m a man too, and you should be able to imagine what I might do after being teased, right? So you have to be more considerate of me, as well as your own body, don’t you?”
It can’t be helped that Watt’s sermons are peppered with anger that is personal, I guess.
Sophia answered him with tears in her eyes.
“But… I still want to confirm. Because, the first time I had that kind of… experience was in that cave, so I don’t know what kind of feeling is normal…”
“！！”
Watt was stunned by this.
In his mind, he conjured up Sophia, who was lying horizontally in the ‘temple’ with her eyes in the void.
(I can’t believe I didn’t think of that… I’m so slow!)
“That’s when I ran into a girl I knew from the old days who had just moved to the neighborhood and she asked me to come to their party.”
Blaming himself, he listened as Sophia traced the realistic and horrific memories.
“Since I hadn’t met her in a while and thought it would be nice to get away once in a while, I said yes.
But that friend was a follower of the Order. I’m afraid that she knew that I was not good at relationships with men and women, so… I was set up because I was a virgin.”
She seemed to resent the fact that she was still a virgin. The look on her face caused an ache in Watt’s chest.
(Just now, did I almost take her virginity?)
“Realizing it myself too late, I was forced to sniff strange drugs and fall asleep. Then, woke up already – on that altar.”
Sophia herself explained the circumstances of the day.
Only, she was too ashamed to speak, and her voice grew smaller and smaller.
“┅Can be difficult, stop talking about it.”
But Sophia wanted to spit it out like a dike.
“On that altar I felt a great emptiness and a sense of terror that enveloped my whole body. Time seemed to stand still, as if in a dream. The sound of ritual incantations being recited came from all around me, and suddenly there were men’s hands reaching for my body, stripping me of the clothes I wore, and painting my whole body with grotesque designs.”
“Stop it, Sophia, enough already.”
“Then the men standing on either side of the altar pulled my feet outward, exposing my… shameful parts. The priest next to me rubbed a mucus-like substance into my…”
“Stop talking, Sophia. Calm down!”
“Then, inside my body, there was an embarrassing sound… I was surrounded by a feeling as if all my internal organs were going to be pulled out of my body, but there was a strange shivering sensation in that area, like peeing, and gradually, the entire interior of my body felt like it was melting…!”
“I say enough already! Sophia!”
Watt shook her shoulder hard. Then Sophia, who was murmuring as if she had a fever, came back to her senses and gazed at Watt.
Her eyes, rolling down large teardrops.
“I’m really sorry… I just feel uneasy. If pleasure is such a terrible thing, then I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fall in love in my life… But if what Mr. Watts did for me… that’s what’s called ‘pleasure’, then I guess I’m saved…”
“Yes…”
It’s only been a week.
But, during this week, Sophia’s heart harbored such great unease.
It was a horrible affair that I didn’t even want to imagine.
Couldn’t say it to anyone, but she was probably more than a little bothered by the fact that she had no one to talk to about it.
But-at the very least one doesn’t care about that at all.
“I’m sorry for saying something like that when I don’t even know how you’re feeling.”
Watt hugged the tearful woman to his chest.
Biting her lip, she secretly deplored the flippancy of her words.
(I’m too narrow-minded, I’m still a long way behind Director Luchai.) .
He didn’t know that.
The door, which I had forgotten to lock, opened a little.
Also, who was the person who opened the door.
Chapter 6 Maria II
（What’s that sound?)
In the middle of the night, Maria woke up suddenly.
As if from the next room, there was a sound.
“The exuberance at the time of rescuing Sophia during the cave trip has led to nervousness now which.”
Maria cocked her head and walked out of her room.
That’s when she actually heard strange noises.
“Naret’s room? Or Mr. Watt’s room?”
Looking down the dimly lit corridor, only the door to Watt’s room was open a thin crack, and light was coming through it.
“Mr. Watts is really up this late. Still working on something? It’s better to go to bed earlier when you’re so tired during the day.”
Maria couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of him rubbing his sleepy eyes and flipping through his books.
“Oh… make him a cup of black tea.”
She headed toward the kitchen, passing Watt’s door on the way.
At this point.
（Sophia? That’s Sophia!)
Maria recognized the figure through the doorway that should not be here and stopped in her tracks hastily.
Also, the figure looks to be lying on the bed.
(No, I don’t think so…)
Instantly almost making a startled sound, Maria managed to stop her mouth.
(How can… I really must have been blind.)
She told herself before peering into the house again.
That’s when she saw it.
Watt’s face was buried between Sophia’s strands, and Sophia frowned at the play of Watt’s fingers as she held back.
“Ah, ah ah ah ah… uh ah! Ahhhhhh!”
Sophia raised her pantyless lower half and moaned softly.
Watt kept teasing between her legs.
(This, this isn’t real, is it? They’re not doing anything, are they?)
Maria prayed as if she were begging, and it was no use at all.
“See, my fingers are going in and out of you Ro…”
Hearing Watt’s voice, Maria had realized that it wasn’t a misunderstanding.
(Lies… Mr. Watts and Sofya… I don’t believe it!)
Unable to stay any longer, Maria rushed out into the hallway.
When she came back to her senses, she had already run out of the ‘Delsol Institute’.
Dark clouds raced across the sky.
Why, by himself, did he flee from the front of Watt’s room?
Why, for that matter, should one run so desperately?
Maria didn’t know either.
Only, the unexplained words kept ringing wildly in my head.
(Too nasty! Mr. Watts is too nasty! Why, why did you do that with Sofya…?
）
She knew that she had no right to interfere with Walter’s relationship. She also knew that neither Watt nor Sophia were children anymore.
But… Maria was emotionally unable to forgive the two men for their private dealings.
Why is it impossible to forgive?… She didn’t understand the reason, but she just couldn’t forgive.
(I have small breasts and a low nose anyway!)
Just as the indignation of unknown significance began.
“Heh heh… uh huh huh huh!”
From nowhere, a man snorted.
The disconcerting, yet as if she had heard it before, caused Maria’s face to change suddenly.
“Who?”
Maria stopped and hurriedly looked for the source of the sound.
By the time she felt as if someone was behind her, it was too late.
“Well!”
The moment she felt the sharp impact of the hand knife on her neck, Maria lost consciousness.
Her body -was- encircled by the man who had come around to her back.
“The opportunity came faster than expected which. The next step is to wait for Prince Charming to come and take the princess back.”
He picked up Maria and laughed maniacally as he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
“Come on Watt, don’t let me down! Hahahahahaha!”
The next day.
“Haha~… last night really hurt my brain.”
Watt rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed to his feet.
“I didn’t expect Sophia to be that bothered at all. But… it would have been nice if I had done something to make her feel happy.
”
Anyway, just face her like nothing happened!
Having made his decision, Watts prepared to walk out of the room.
“Huh? Why is the door open? Did Sofya forget to close it…”
Pound thunk!
“Gah! …it hurts~~~”
I don’t know who it was, running down the corridor at high speed and crashing up on him from the cross direction.
Having said that, there is only one person in the institute who would do such a presumptuous thing.
“┅Narett~!”
“It hurts!”
Narett protested violently to Watt as she wept and put on her knocked-out glasses.
“Why don’t you be more careful la~! What if I get hurt?”
“I’m sorry… what a thing to say… you’re the one who should be careful, aren’t you? I’ve told you many times not to wander in the corridors!”
She ignored Watt’s retort and yelled as if snapping to attention.
“Teacher, this is no time to play the idiot!!!”
“What, what’s wrong?”
“Maria is missing!!!”
“┅What did you say!!!”
“She must have been kidnapped! Yes, that must be it!”
It’s like the world is in chaos.
At that moment, Lucai, who had been awakened by her yelling, came.
“What are you doing? You’re making a lot of noise this early in the morning…”
“Ah, Director! I tell you, things are so and so and so and so and so!”
After listening to Narett’s more-than-explanatory explanation, Lucai sighed.
“┅Maybe you’re going for a walk?”
“Ah!”
Narett was caught in a blind spot, holding her head and spraying her tongue, but Luchai turned to Watt and said.
“But it’s also true that there’s never been anything like this… If Kago is worried, why don’t you just take a walk and go look for it?”
At this point, Watt suddenly had an ominous omen.
Or maybe it was because the events of last night were still lingering in his mind and he just wanted to switch gears.
“I know. I’m on my way!”
Anyway, Watts nodded.
He grabbed a couple of homemade attack props and immediately set off by the Institute.
“Is… really kidnapped?”
The longer the questioning went on, the more uneasy Watt felt.
The lake, OPENCAFE, and all the other places Maria would have gone to were searched, but still her innocent, romantic smile was nowhere to be seen.
“It’s just hypothetical. First of all, there’s a possibility that the guy who kidnapped Maria…”
Speaking of which, Watt’s unease increased dramatically.
“We’ll meet again if it’s meant to be. Then, I’ll be rude for now.”
“Iwan!?”
That endowed, and therefore more sinister, face came to mind at the same time that Watt was instantly helpless.
“No, it won’t, and by the way, I haven’t been to Claudia’s cave yet!”
Watt mentally prayed that Maria was there and panicked and turned around.
“Hello, I’m Ruchai’s damaged friend, Claudia! It’s been a long time since the second chapter!”
“Has… Miss Claudia always had this kind of personality?”
“Because there are fewer appearances, and it’s hard for me to be like this, yeah.”
(Where is the hard work?)
Near the entrance to the cave, Wart listened to Claudia’s complaints.
“By the way, Miss Claudia, did Maria come this way?”
“I didn’t see yay. But my pet zombie bear said he saw it.”
Can the words of an animal, and a zombie at that, really be believed?… Anyway, Claudia’s words were the only clue Watt had at this stage.
“So, then, which way did Maria go?”
“I heard it was headed in that direction of the forest west of this cave.”
“Thank you!”
“But!”
Immediately pulling his legs up and running out the door, Watt was called back by Claudia.
“She’s with a man. It looks like Maria’s got some skills too, huh?”
She smiled a little ambiguously.
However, it was no laughing matter for Watt.
“It really is Iwan! Claudia, thank you!”
He hurriedly thanked him and then hurried out of the cave.
“It’s nice to have fun with mature women once in a while… ~ Next time I’ll give you a gem, it’s going to be something fun to do again!”
What Claudia said certainly didn’t fall on deaf ears.
Only one empty house exists in the middle of the forest.
Watt alerted his surroundings and put his hand to the knob of the entrance door.
“This place doesn’t look like it’s inhabited, but there are obvious tracks on the surrounding weeds… it’s very likely that someone was in there…”
He took a deep breath before resolving to open the door.
“Is anyone in there!?”
Immediately he was answered.
“Watt, it’s been a week since I’ve seen you.”
In the middle of the ruined house, Ewan was waiting for him with a wicked grin on his face.
“Don’t you think you’re coming too slow? I’m tired of waiting yet.”
“Who cares so much! Where’s Maria!?”
“What a hothead.”
He said with a smile towards an exasperated Watt.
“I certainly won’t fail you Lo. As you expected, Maria is indeed in my hands.”
Watts looked around hastily, but there was no sign of Maria.
However, to the left of the entrance, there was a door leading to another room. If Maria was in the room…
“You locked her up!” Watt glared angrily at Ewan.
“What do you want by taking Maria hostage!?”
“Rest in peace. Why do you think I am your enemy?”
Ewan also gave a mock shrug.
“Didn’t I help you get the maiden out last time? Don’t you think that maybe I’m also helping you protect Miss Maria who got lost in the forest today?”
“┅If that’s the case, then why did you make a fuss about bringing Maria to a place like this!”
Watt still glared pointedly at Iwan’s shallow smile. Iwan, on the other hand, seemed amused by Watt’s reaction.
“You are also a man who sees only the surface of things. It doesn’t matter… I’ll bring Ms. Maria as you wish.”
He said as he opened the door to the room on the left.
Wat…, who was staring at the back of the door in case of an ambush, could not help but open his eyes wide and say nothing.
“┅Maria! Why this look!?”
Maria, who appeared before his eyes, was completely naked.
Moreover, in her hand she held a sword held by a knight or soldier. The sharp blade that shone with silver light was also particularly broad and flat at the front, reminiscent of a male root in its majestic form.
And… her eyes were void of anything, stagnant with a color that had never been seen before.
“Iwan! You son of a bitch, what did you do to her!?”
Ewan was responding, but not in response to the question.
“Yo, there’s still time for that kind of boring talk, you’re in danger now.”
“What?”
Watts looked back-it was Maria, wielding a rapier and quietly approaching in her direction.
“Uh-oh!”
Stunned, Watts hurriedly jumped to the side.
By this time, Maria’s sword had cut into the ground where he had been standing a moment before.
“Hiss Fury!” The sound of the air shattering scared Watt out of his wits.
“Mar, Maria, what’s wrong with you! Don’t recognize me!?”
Watt paled and yelled.
Maria saw the look on his face, but was unmoved.
“┅Please go to hell.”
At the sight of her coldness, Watt couldn’t help but growl at Ewan.
“Did you hypnotize Maria!”
“It’s not far to go even if you don’t hit it.”
Ewan replied with a deliberately difficult expression.
“┅The bishop of the ‘Order’ gave instructions that if you do not return to it, you are dead.”
If Lucha were here, she would have caught Iwan in the act of not adding the honorific ‘Cardinal’.
However, Wart froze at what Ewan had said, failing to notice the disrespect with which he had spoken.
“Because it was too hard to get you to return to the fold, I had to resort to this. And I didn’t want to let my hands bleed, so I took control of Maria and had her kill you. Don’t you think that’s very efficient? Heh heh heh…”
“You scumbag… Waaaah!”
Watts cracked and had to juggle dodging Maria’s chopping blows.
“Doing us a favor and then trying to kill us, what the hell were you thinking!?”
“If you want to know, just escape this crisis first. Look, Maria cut over ding yo again.”
He didn’t have time to respond to Ewan. Because luckily he crouched down fast enough to barely dodge Maria’s blade slashing at him from the side.
No-he didn’t dodge. Maria’s sword slashed into the mouth of Watt’s shoulder, and blood spurted out.
“Damn it, I didn’t expect to be attacked by Maria!”
Granted, he couldn’t fight back lest he hurt Maria.
So, despite having attack props prepared on his body, he was all but helpless.
There was only one thing to do… to call her.
“Come to your senses! Maria! It’s me! I’m Watt!”
He could no longer care less about the taunts of Yvonne on the sidelines. He tore his throat out, trying to wake Maria.
Then.
“I’m… I’m sorry… but my body… my body, it won’t listen…”
Maria became hesitant, and after violently swinging down the sword in her hand again, she began to speak the ‘real’ words in her mind. Ewan heard it and sighed as well.
“Wow, after receiving my hints, you can actually speak with your own will…”
“Don’t worry! You’re not a weak-willed girl who will be forever manipulated by suggestion or hypnosis… wow!
”
Watts edged out as his left thigh was clipped by the blade again.
Despite this addition, he had absolutely no intention of using an attack prop on Maria.
(Can’t let Maria get hurt! I’ll never hurt my own sister!) He swore in his heart as he dodged the sword – I’m afraid that he has also realized that there is an inseparable feeling in the relationship between the senior and the younger sister, right?
Suddenly, he tripped and fell to the ground.
“It’s over!”
Maria, who was completely naked, was walking step by step towards the stunned him.
“Where is it finally time to say goodbye to you? It doesn’t matter. Just say a final prayer to the God you believe in.”
Ewan wore a look of regret.
Watt glanced at his expression for a split second.
But then came-Maria had come up to him, and he closed his eyes.
He had already realized that he would be killed by the sword.
Even so, there was still no giving up hope. The moment Maria was about to swing down her sword, Watt called out to her once more from the bottom of his heart.
“Maria, please, wake up! This isn’t the real you!”
“┅”
Unintentionally, both men stopped moving.
“Huh? What’s going on? I shouldn’t be able to unravel my hints so easily…”
Ewan murmured incredulously.
In front of his eyes, Maria’s hand holding the sword kept shaking.
“No…”
Cold sweat broke out all over her body and a sad voice squeezed out of her throat.
“Mar, Maria?”
Watt stared at her incredulously.
pierced by his eager sight-Maria finally released a scream.
“┅Don’t ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
The hand that tightly gripped the longsword also abruptly popped open.
The sword that had put Watts in crisis fell to the ground with a resounding thud.
Tears overflowed like a fountain from pupils dilated by fear.
The limbs, which were stiff, slowly became slack.
Watt, who was staring at her, was finally reassured by his shock.
“Your body regains its freedom!”
“Mr. Watt!”
The two embraced each other.
Maria was naked and hugged Watt tightly.
“You came to my rescue…”
“Really, leaving the institute without saying a word, of course I’d be worried.”
“Because Mr. Watt… oooh… Mr. Watt…”
Watt tenderly touched the tearful woman.
After she stopped crying, Maria, perhaps freed from her nervousness, passed out on it.
“Maria…”
After gently lowering her to the floor, Watt took off his shirt and covered her.
“Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah… you’re really something, Watt.”
Suddenly, Ewan smiled wistfully.
“I didn’t realize that my hints could be broken so easily… and in a way that has nothing to do with alchemy, so it’s worth exploring. That girl seems to be very reluctant to kill you.”
“┅Iwang!”
Watt glared angrily at the son of a bitch who had put himself in a crisis and victimized Maria.
“You’re going to be cleaned up next! If you dare to do such a thing to Maria, I will never forgive you!”
But Ewan grunted and laughed twice, walking leisurely toward the door ready to leave the house.
“Wait!”
“It’s not going to wait. I’ll be damned if you’re going to pull off some kind of Rage of the Titans like you did last time. Besides, are you going to leave Maria here to come after me?”
“Damn…”
Watts was caught in the crossfire and had no way to go after Ewan.
However, he had fulfilled the conditions for Iwan to say that he had ‘passed the crisis peacefully’ and could at least exercise his right to question!
“Tell me! Last time you helped us to disrupt the rituals of the ‘Order’, but today you hypnotized Maria and tried to kill us as instructed by the Order! Why did you do these two extreme things! What is your real purpose!”
Ewan listened to every word Watt said as if he were carefully playing with it.
When Watt finished, Ewan replied to him with a floating gloating grin.
“My purpose? To screw him over, of course.”
“Pick off who?”
“Needless to say… of course it’s the Archbishop of the ‘Order’.”
“！？”
The unexpected answer left Watt at a loss for words.
“For… why!?”
“Because the ‘Order’ that I’ve been supporting the field from the shadows has also become quite large now. It’s almost time for the ‘harvest’ period.”
Simply put – Iwan is trying to take over the leadership position, right?
“But, but, then why did you listen to the orders of the Archbishop and others who were ready to kill us again!?”
“If I don’t kill you, it will constitute disobedience. To disobey would force me to stay away from the center of the Order, and I don’t want my plans to come to a halt. On the one hand, you are currently the heart of the Order, and your presence is very valuable. Therefore, it is the best outcome if I plan to kill you all and if you manage to escape from me and survive. So, you guys kind of did a good job.”
Watt was stunned at his words. Whether it was helping them to rescue Sophia or manipulating Maria to kill herself, it was actually a reflection of the power struggle within the Order┅!
“You will be asked to thwart the ambitions of the ‘Order’ in the future. You are worthy of my expectations, Alchemists. Hahahahahaha…”
Ewan laughed aloud and left the middle of the ruined house.
Only Watt was left with pursed lips, watching the unconscious Maria.
“That Iwang… is really an unknown person. However, if we just let him go, he will surely bring mischief to the world!”
One day, he would have to get rid of him. In order for that day to come, he would have to hone his alchemy skills even more in the future – Watt made a strong decision in his mind.
The following night.
“Still awake…?”
Maria’s sudden visit to her chambers startled Watt.
(It’s not… like the day before yesterday, is it?)
Slightly wary, but thinking that Maria’s words shouldn’t matter. So I asked her to come in.
“Not yet. Come in.”
“Okay.”
After Maria was invited into Watt’s chambers, an inexplicable tension suddenly arose in the room.
(I don’t think there’s any trace of Sofya’s smell…)
After taking a breath to confirm, he inquired about Maria, who was sitting upright in her chair.
“Your body should be fine?”
“Eh, it’s okay.”
“Great…”
With that, the two had a crossbow twisted conversation.
The more you rack your brain about what to say, the more speechless you become.
“By the way, what did you come to see me about? I wouldn’t know if I just sat around and didn’t talk, yo.”
After Watt finished, Maria shuddered slightly before gazing into his face.
The somewhat ironic face was filled with the melancholy look of one who must mention a subject he does not wish to recall.
“┅Mr. Watt, I’m really sorry about yesterday.”
“Huh? Ah, that’s all in the past, never mind.”
Walt showed clarity. He didn’t want Maria to think deeply about yesterday’s events again.
“But why did you go out alone yesterday?”
┅At this time, he had not noticed the importance of this issue.
Of course, after Maria answered him, he naturally found out.
“The… the night before last, I accidentally saw… inside Mr. Watts’ room.”
“What!?”
What he had done with Sophia came to life in his mind, and Watt was momentarily at a loss for words.
“No, I’m not blaming Mr. Watts! And it wasn’t a bad thing… it’s just that I wasn’t mature enough to restrain myself for a moment after seeing that kind of thing… and by the time I realized it I had already run out of the institute.”
It was a normal reaction-Maria mostly mistook Watt and Sophia for lovers already.
“I’m really sorry! I didn’t mean to intervene in the middle of your relationship… because of my own personal whims…”
“Wait, wait!”
At this point, Watt was finally able to explain it to her.
“You’ve got it all wrong!”
“I don’t think I misunderstood…”
“Yes! Although it’s only natural to think that after seeing that situation, it would be great if even Sophia was misunderstood, so let me explain the situation of the day before yesterday!”
A few minutes later.
“Hara, so So Sofya was worried about that kind of thing…”
Knowing the truth of the matter, Maria murmured as if she couldn’t believe it.
“I took that as something that lovers do… it’s embarrassing.”
“That can’t be avoided. As long as we can sympathize with the trauma in her heart, then that’s enough.”
Watt comforted her.
Maria inquired once more carefully.
“Then there is nothing between Mr. Watt and Maria?”
“Of course… We’ve only known each other for a week, so how could we have any relationship?”
Watt, who replied helplessly, suddenly froze.
For large teardrops rolled down from Maria’s eyes.
“┅That’s great, nothing’s happening．”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you, suddenly crying! Calm down!”
Watt was at a loss for words, not even knowing how to comfort her properly.
Maria continued to cry.
“The day before yesterday, when I saw Mr. Watt and Sofya… I was devastated. It was then that I realized… how I felt about Mr. Watt… But I didn’t know if Mr. Watt felt the same way about me, so I felt very uneasy. Maybe he thought I was just a schoolgirl… I couldn’t stop thinking about it… I couldn’t stop thinking about it! I couldn’t calm down when I thought that I had finally realized my feelings, but it was too late, and that Mr. Wat’s heart had already been taken away by Sofya!”
“Maria…”
Walt didn’t know what to say.
Maria’s overly direct outpouring of emotion produced a huge shock in his chest.
(Maria is treating me…)
The fact that he was even secretly in love with her was like a dream to Watt. His eyes were slightly moist for it.
With that, a small smile barely surfaced on Maria’s weeping face.
“┅I’m sorry, I’m so useless. I’m sorry for bothering you at this late hour.”
Then, hastily, he rose and prepared to leave.
Her hands… were held by Watt.
“Wait, Maria.”
“Aye…?”
“You’re an idiot to worry about something like that. Do I need to explain my feelings for you?”
He pulled Maria to his side and gently embraced her in his arms.
“Not only are you my schoolmate, but you can cook, and you’re gentle and cheerful and cute, and you haven’t practiced alchemy enough… All in all, I think you’re more important in my heart than anyone else. I don’t want to lose you more than anyone else.”
Holding her tighter in his wrist.
In his arms, Maria began to sob again.
“Nar… oooo… Mr. Watt, I…”
She lifted her face to say something.
Her lips, however, were taken tenderly by Watt.
“Ah…”
Maria, for an instant, shrank back in shock.
But she then stopped resisting and slowly closed her eyes.
At some point, Walter and Maria kept kissing each other as a matter of course. Because they knew that there was no need to say anything more to each other, they could sense each other’s heart from the meeting of their lips.
Soon the naked pair had sprawled across the bed.
“So shy…”
Maria reddened her cheeks. However, she didn’t look as shy as her mouth said, perhaps because she felt that it was already natural to show her torso in front of Watt.
“What are you shy about?”
Watt asked her in a steady voice, while gently caressing her back and side. The steady, but affectionate caresses made Maria bury her face into Watt’s chest as if she was anxious and happy.
“I feel like you’re going to see right through me…”
She made a light panicked sound.
Because Watt had his hands on her hips.
After continued stroking the bouncy, full flesh of her ass, Maria’s eyes slowly moistened.
“Aaah… Mr. Watts, what an incredible feeling…”
Watt felt with his chest that Maria’s nipples, which he had not yet touched with his hands, were gradually bulging.
“It’s a natural reaction.”
He moved his body after murmuring in his ear, wrapping his palms around Maria’s breasts.
“Uh…”
Maria’s body stiffened as the shivers from the pleasure spread throughout her body.
The pink protuberance became more erect in his palm. Watt enjoyed the touch, stroking it gently back and forth.
Maria moaned softly.
“¡Ah, it hasn’t been touched yet, but…”
Then, gently twisting her waist.
Watt stroked her thighs, causing her to spread her feet slightly before bringing his hand to the center.
By this time – as Maria said – the petals, which had not even been touched by her fingers, were already moist with nectar.
“Maria, you’re so sensitive.”
“Hate, I’m so shy… ah!”
After Watt teased the petals with his fingers, Maria let out a snort like a soft barking puppy.
Watt continued to rub his fingers over the delicate walls of her flesh.
Then, flick the gradually erecting bud above with your fingertips.
“Ah, ah… Mr. Watts, not there, okay…”
The most sensitive places were tortured insistently, and Maria’s gasps slowly began to be wet and hot with luscious color.
“It’s like… the feeling of being gently shaken by the microwaves… my body seems to be floating…”
Her whole body flushed rose red, and her cherry lips were unconsciously half-open.
Watts calculated the moment and moved his body in between Maria’s legs, almost covering her entire body, to ask her one last time.
“May I, Maria? Going to go…”
“Um… Mr. Watts, come on…”
In the next instant, Walt pressed his manhood against Maria’s petals and slowly pushed in.
“Aaahhh… Va, Mr. Watt is inside me…”
Maria arched her upper body. When she calmed down, Watt began to push on the lower back.
His movements weren’t hurried, but they were muddy, powerful jabs.
Watt stirred the inside of Maria’s secret jug with his man-root to his heart’s content, causing her to secrete copious amounts of love juice.
“Maria’s body is so hot inside… even deep inside my body.”
“Aaah… I, I’m also hot… it’s so comfortable, it feels so good there…!”
Maria opened her lovely lips to enjoy the pleasure. The expression was even more lewd on her childish face.
It wasn’t long before the two men’s excitement was about to climb to the top.
“Ahhh, Ma, Maria… I’m going to come out…!”
“Come on… Mr. Watts, together, together we will orgasm!”
Maintaining a fixed-speed lumbar swing and picking up speed as if out of nowhere.
In tandem with his acceleration, Maria bobbed her waist up and down as if she were greedy.
Then the movements became faster and faster, followed by a momentary silence-the moment of climax.
“┅Ahhhh!!!”
“Umm… ah… ah… ah… ah… ah… ah… ah… ah…!”
Watt’s and Maria’s bodies, at the same time, stiffened.
With intense spasms, Watt squirted his cum inside Maria.
Waves of pleasure hit his entire body.
As if desperately enduring, the two entries combined and held each other’s body tightly with force.
Soon – the wild waves of pleasure flowed away like an ebbing tide.
After withdrawing from Maria with a satisfied look on his face, Watt whispered softly in the ear of the still panting Maria.
“Maria… just now, your face is so cute.”
“Nasty, you’re so bad.”
“Yeah? But it’s true. And the voice is so cute…”
“Nasty!”
Without letting him say any more shy words, Maria gagged him with her own lips… Final Chapter
After Ewan’s kidnapping of Maria – daily life resumes at the ‘Delsol Institute’.
“We’ll be in danger if we get involved in this again.”
This is the judgment of Director Duchess.
She decided not to intervene in matters relating to the Order or Ewan in the future (of course, if the researcher was attacked again, that would be a different matter…)
“They are indeed dangerous forces. If the kingdom is unable to restrain them, we alchemists or magicians will have to step in to fight them. However… I think you are not powerful enough. Let’s wait for the opportunity to discuss a countermeasure after you become better alchemists!”
Now that she had said that, Watt and the others had nothing to say.
Of course, Luchai herself was in frequent contact with Claudia and the alchemists in faraway places.
As England’s premier alchemist, she must also be serious about doing her duty well.
“Research time is getting shorter and shorter.”
The recent frequent whining is the strongest evidence of this.
On the one hand, Watt kept in mind Luchai’s advice, but never forgot about Iwan’s vendetta.
(One day I’m going to take care of him to avenge Maria’s hatred!)
The words were not spoken, but the determination had been deep in his heart.
In order to fulfill his wish one day… he devoted himself to research and cultivation every day.
Hopefully, it will cut off Iwan’s ambitions before he succeeds in taking over the ‘Order’ and gaining immense power.
After the incident, the biggest thing that happened in the ‘Delsol Institute’- was the official joining of Sophia.
“Alchemy saved me, so I want to learn it too.”
Her request was simply accepted by Lucai in accordance with the residence rule.
Naret was going to act like a sister to Sofya, but could a sister-sister relationship really be established between her and the calm Sofya?… Watts wanted to see that.
The day of Sophia’s first experiment.
“First of all, what about trying to do medicines that relieve mild fatigue.”
“┅Yes!”
Sophia stood before Sephiroth, desperately maneuvering the apparatus with lackadaisical motions to commit the Jewel drug.
“Ah, that jewel…”
Seeing that Sophia had chosen the wrong gemstone, Maria couldn’t help but try to open her mouth to warn her.
Watt’s hand, on her shoulder stopped her.
“Can’t tell her yo. This kind of thing has to be done in her own strength. That way she knows what her mistakes are on her side.”
“┅Unh, yes!”
Maria accepted what he said and smiled sweetly at him.
An extreme sense of trust had obviously developed between the two.
If the usual Narett had seen this, she would have exclaimed ”Teacher and Maria, they’re very suspicious! I don’t know what to say.
But her eyes were now fixed on Sophia’s experiment.
“No, that’s not where I put that medicine…!”
“Neither can Narett, yo, no reminding her.”
Watt smiled bitterly and tried to stop her.
But… Nareet didn’t hear it at all.
“┅Ah~ What a rush! This is the place to put this black medicine!”
She recklessly ran next to Sofya and ignored Watt yelling ‘Ah, that one is not allowed…!’ , and just dropped 2 or 3 drops of the black liquid into the Sephiroth.
“Don’t worry! Sophia, let me show you something.”
Just then.
Pounds when-!
“That’s why I said no!”
Watt held his head and looked at the blasted Sephiroth.
Of the two people, Narett and Sophia, who were covered in soot, the older sister immediately raised her mouth to express her dissatisfaction.
“Sensei-! You’re supposed to say things like that a little louder so I can hear you!”
“How dare you say that when you never listen yourself!”
Angry Watt, childishly, argued with her.
At that moment-Maria, who had noticed something strange, exclaimed excitedly.
“┅Sufiya laughed!”
“Oy!?”
Watt and Narett were also taken aback and looked at Sophia together.
“Hohohohoho… Mr. Watts is like a child…!”
She was covering her mouth with her hand and laughing pleasantly.
“I was right in thinking that she had a cute smile!”
Watt nodded triumphantly.
It was a change unimaginable from the somber expression that had characterized her since her rescue from the ‘temple’.
“┅Hate it, don’t stare at me like that.”
Noticing the look around her, Sophia turned red with shyness.
It was the first moment when she, who never smiled, broke into a smile after coming to the institute.
