“Who needs more love tokens? Well~ it would be someone who needs more love, right? Then, who needs more love? We’re going to find that out right now. With this….”
Dorothy slammed her glass on the table and shouted.
“With the Lust Color Diagnosis Method!”
Lust Color Diagnosis Method, Lust Color Diagnosis Method, Lust Color Diagnosis Method, Lust Color Diagnosis Method, Lust Color Diagnosis Method….
Eloa, who had been watching the lovers’ bickering from a distance with a contented smile, almost dropped her glass.
The Lust Color Diagnosis Method was something Dorothy had created as a drinking game.
It’s been a while, so let me explain it again.
The Lust Color Diagnosis Method is an alchemic magic that shows lust as color and intensity.
First, the intensity of the color indicates the ‘current level of desire.’
Regardless of the color, the darker the intensity, the more frustrated the current desire, and the lighter the color, the more it means that it is being resolved healthily.
Meanwhile, the type of color indicates the ‘innate level of lust.’
In the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, the closer to red, the more intense the lust, and the closer to violet, the more asexual.
“Basically, bonus love tokens are distributed little by little, right? How about picking the three with the strongest lust and giving them a little more of the extra bonus love tokens? What do you think? Isn’t that fair enough?”
“Do, Do, Do, Dorothy…?”
Eloa, who had been dazed as if hit on the head, belatedly looked at Dorothy.
Her gaze was filled with a deep sense of betrayal, as if saying, ‘How could you do this to me?’
Because, in the past, as a result of Dorothy’s personal test, it had been proven that Eloa’s innate lust was a color redder than a red rose.
And now she was going to reveal that result to all the other lovers!
No matter how much she coveted the bonus love tokens, she couldn’t bear such embarrassment.
Why on earth was Dorothy doing this?
She knew that Eloa was a pink rabbit with a red color, the limit of her settings, and a possessor of intense lust.
With these rules, Eloa was guaranteed first place.
Why was she pushing this situation, even giving up her share of the bonus love tokens?
Had she done something to upset Dorothy?
That must be it!
Otherwise, she couldn’t act like this!
If she had something to say, she could have just said it, but why was she oppressing her so cruelly!
“Dorothy! I have an objection before that!”
“Yes, yes~ What is it, Your Majesty?”
“From the beginning, there is a serious flaw in this love token itself.”
“Wasn’t that a mutually agreed-upon situation?”
“Thinking about it, it’s wrong!”
Rurue, who was boasting her booming voice today as well, pointed her finger like a lawyer at the twins who were gulping down wine.
“It is unfair for Odile and Odette to take love tokens separately!”
“What? Why are you picking a fight again?”
“Isn’t that right? The two always sleep with Shin-woo! And according to the love token regulations, if an agreement is made and an N-some takes place, only one person’s love token is deducted. In other words, aren’t the twins already holding twice as many love tokens as others?”
“Then you should join us every time.”
“If you’re so jealous, you should have been born as twins.”
“Didn’t we always say that Jemena is one in two?”
“What are you talking about? I’m Odile, and she’s Odette. We are clearly separate individuals.”
Eloa looked at Rurue with a very slight hope….
But to conclude, it was not very meaningful.
“Your Majesty~ That’s already over, and we’re talking about bonus love tokens now. Anyway, is there anyone who doesn’t like this distribution method?”
Dorothy very lightly controlled Rurue’s absurd objection.
Eloa, trying to change public opinion with a meek voice, was completely deflated.
“Dorothy, isn’t there a better way?”
“That’s right, Dorothy, I feel a bit uneasy too? Do we really have to reveal all that privacy?”
Yes, yes, good job!
Amelia didn’t seem to be trying to refute, and the twins and Rurue were busy bickering.
Linne, who was sipping milk, was unexpectedly in sync with Dorothy.
At this point, Kibele’s one and only support was enough to make Eloa rejoice.
But.
“Hehe, it looks fun! It’s also reasonable that the person who needs it gets a little more bonus love tokens, and it’s exciting like a drinking game! But what’s the standard for that color-coded lust?”
“Sha, Sharon… Kibele was still talking….”
“Um~ Red and violet are the limits of measurement, theoretical colors. In other words, red is a very hot and sexy woman, and violet is practically asexual.”
“Wow! That’s fun! Let’s do it quickly!!”
“Right~? Then we’ll proceed as is!”
Something was vaguely settled by Sharon, who was slurring her words from the side.
Eloa tried to object in a very small voice in the middle, but no one else heard her.
Eloa also felt resentment towards Sharon.
Sharon….
She always thought she was a really good person, bright and cheerful….
She always thought she was grateful for her care….
Why had she forgotten that Sharon, when drunk, had +5 to all her actions?
“What’s the order?”
“Shall I go first?”
Regardless of Eloa’s burning heart, Dorothy started the color test first.
The test method was simple.
Lightly hold some alcohol in your mouth, and when it was sufficiently mixed with saliva, spit it out into the glass.
“Oh my, it’s a bit embarrassing.”
Dorothy’s color was a light green, slightly leaning towards yellow.
Since it had been quite some time since she had been intimate, the intensity was about 7 out of 1 to 10.
“Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet…. Is it somewhere between yellow and green?”
“Hmm, I can’t tell if it’s high or low?”
Still, considering how sexy Dorothy had been in bed so far, it must be quite high.
At this point, the lovers realized that this color test was quite stingy with points.
“Me? I guess I’ll be about the same as Dorothy?”
Following the order of seating, it was Kibele’s turn next.
The color was green. The intensity of the color was quite faint, almost transparent.
“Oh ho, seeing the transparent color, it seems like you resolved your desires well yesterday. Isn’t that right, Dorothy?”
“If the color is this transparent~, then yes.”
“…Could you not say it one by one?”
Kibele let out a small sigh of relief after finishing the test.
And as soon as she heard that sigh of relief, everyone suddenly realized that there was a strange trap in this test.
Bonus love tokens?
Good.
It was okay to get a color around yellow to blue, like Dorothy or Kibele.
But what if you got orange or higher in front of everyone?
There was a risk that you could end up declaring, ‘I’m a sexy woman!’ without being able to deny it, which all the lovers except Eloa also realized.
The people gathered here all had a chaste view of love.
Therefore, the formula ‘high lust = lewd = a bit…. like that’ was automatically completed.
Eloa, reading the strange atmosphere, mumbled.
“Everyone, listen. Innate lust is not something to be ashamed of. We all live while controlling our animalistic instincts, don’t we? Rather, isn’t it the nobility of humans to control their innate nature and refine the rough parts? So, instead of suppressing your instincts, it would be a more progressive concern to acknowledge them and think about how to deal with them harmoniously. Lust is just a part of our existence, and it is neither good nor evil in itself, is it? To be ashamed of it is not even worth mentioning. What’s important is how you handle it. I believe that you, like me, are beings with the ability to harmoniously control reason and emotion. Whether it’s lust or any other instinct, isn’t it necessary to learn how to handle and utilize it? It’s not that instincts control us, but that we control our instincts.”
Of course, her voice was too small, and no one heard her.
In that atmosphere, Rurue drove the wedge.
“Hmm~ Is it the navy blue that is the symbol of me?”
Rurue, having confirmed her result (between blue and indigo), somehow started to boast proudly.
“It’s a shame that I didn’t get a bonus, but it can’t be helped. I embrace Si-woo with love, not because I can’t overcome my desires. My clear color proves that, doesn’t it?”
“Your Majesty~ It’s not really possible to say that the test result is good or bad, is it? Lust is like an innate appetite.”
“Hmm, I don’t think highly of people with a big appetite either. Isn’t that also a lack of self-control?”
“You’re always the one who eats the most during meals?”
“Ho, is it jealousy? It’s easy to see. You little brats who are all over the place will probably get a bright red color.”
“What nonsense! Do you think there are any apprentice witches as calm and modest as us?”
“It’s because our assistant seems like he’ll die without us that we’re going along with him! We don’t have lust!”
“That’s right! It’ll probably be gray?”
Then the twins also started to frame lust as a kind of sin, that is, the lower the better and recommended.
In fact, orthodox witches have a rather strict view of sexuality.
In this atmosphere, what if Eloa’s red color was revealed?
Eloa reflexively imagined the lovers’ reactions.
Linne: How vulgar.
Amelia: I’m surprised that Duchess Eloa was such an unscrupulous woman. You don’t look like that at all….
Odile & Odette: Ehhhhh?! Red?! Does that mean you’re very horny? Right? Oh my! Oh my!
Sharon: It’s possible! Duchess! Cheer up! Fighting! Having a lot of lust and being lewd is not bad at all!
Rurue: As I expected. As far as I know, women with pink hair are said to have strong lust.
Kibele: Interesting. Duchess, shall I share some of my love tokens with you?
Dorothy: Hehehehehe
“…Ah.”
Her hands and feet became clammy with sweat.
Eloa felt a suffocating despair.
