Chapter 48 – The Pink-Haired Tower Master (2)
From the very first moment I arrived at the magic tower, there was one thing I could clearly sense.
Most of the elves and beastmen, who were moving around in small groups and chatting, were showing considerable interest in us.
More precisely, it was interest directed at the two of them, excluding me.
At first, I thought they were just whispering among themselves and didn’t think much of it.
But seeing them openly staring and snickering, I couldn’t help but become curious.
Alex was just baggage, so it didn’t matter much, but in Fria’s case, she was clearly my person.
I needed to hear more details about the time the two of them had spent in the magic tower.
As a result, my plan to only deal with the dick-having human mages who were after Elina had changed drastically.
I thought they would just ignore and look down on them, but it turned out they were using all sorts of methods to harass the two of them, while avoiding the tower master’s eyes.
And these weren’t one or two-year-old kids, but people who had been rotting in the tower for at least 100 years.
It was so bad that they said they felt much more comfortable and happy researching in their own private rooms for a whole week without sleep than encountering other race mages in the hallways.
I wanted to gather all the wicked mages who had harassed my people in one place and hang them from the ceiling until they sincerely apologized.
It was only right that they should be punished for doing bad things to others.
Of course, I was also in a position where I had seduced Fria and taken her virgin pussy, so I couldn’t say I was a completely good person.
But at least, thanks to the magic I had generously poured into her pussy, these siblings were able to reach a somewhat happy ending, so from the perspective of valuing results over process, I was definitely a good person to some extent.
I was planning to finish up the tower master’s business quickly and then deal with those who had looked down on and ignored the two of them.
Although my party members had always seen me as a tool to be used and discarded at any time, my image outside the party was that of a noble knight who had made a great contribution to the subjugation of the Demon King.
And that rumor had spread widely within this magic tower, so in fact, the only person in this empire who could treat me carelessly was at most the empress sitting in the imperial palace.
And since that empress viewed the entire hero party as benefactors,
the reason why Aris’s side, who wanted to properly screw me over, couldn’t move recklessly and was trying to finish things in this magic tower, which was relatively outside the empire’s territory, was also because of the image of me that had been planted in the people of the empire, including the empress.
So, I was planning to use that image to rescue the siblings without resorting to physical methods, and then focus on the tower master.
But when I actually faced the tower master, two big variables had arisen.
The first was the almost certain thought that if I got big tits with this current appearance, I would absolutely not be able to resist fucking that pink-haired tower master.
And the second was.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t show you the process of injecting magic right away.”
“That’s unexpected. I thought this wasn’t the time for such leisure… It seems you still don’t understand your situation very well.”
It was this pink-haired woman’s attitude.
As soon as I heard her mutter, “Hmph. They just can’t understand. That’s why it’s hard to have a conversation with foolish humans,” I almost forced her legs open and shoved my dick in.
There was definitely something completely different inside that pink-haired woman than her docile appearance suggested.
“Keep in mind, Si-hyun. You absolutely cannot resolve this situation without my help. Also, unless you accept my offer, you won’t be able to leave this magic tower.”
“…Are you threatening to imprison me?”
“Yes. If I don’t get your magic, I will summon the saintess’s group and seal your power. There’s no reason to release a dangerous person who can turn into a monster as dangerous as the Demon King at any time into the empire.”
“It was that empire that recommended me to join the hero party while taking such a risk. You and Aris’s group are the only ones who still see me as a monster, even though I’m under the protection of the goddess Elysia and successfully subjugated the Demon King. Do you think the empire would tolerate imprisoning me, who is recognized by the vast majority?”
“That makes sense. Melias, who feels greatly indebted to you, may not easily accept that fact. But even that empress will eventually choose to abandon you. No matter how much you claim your innocence, there will be no one to consider the circumstances of someone who is trapped in this magic tower and unable to speak their mind. Besides, it’s not just you who is recognized by the vast majority. It’s the entire hero party.”
Tower Master Sien grinned, revealing her teeth.
“When the danger of your magic is revealed to the world, the knight Choi Si-hyun will naturally become an enemy of the empire. What they need is not just a mere knight, but a hero party that can protect them completely.”
She shrugged her shoulders slightly.
“Si-hyun. Don’t be mistaken that you defeated the Demon King alone. You were just lucky enough to be in charge of driving the wedge into the Demon King because you were born with magic that doesn’t corrupt you. In the first place, you were so unskilled that you couldn’t even properly handle the training of a holy knight. Aren’t you a human who has nothing left without that magic?”
I barely managed to suppress the urge to slap the tits of that arrogant pink-haired bitch that had suddenly arisen.
Thanks to Elina constantly scratching at me, I had developed some resistance, and I was able to suppress my fist from flying out by pinching my thigh hard enough to draw blood.
“In contrast, the four of them are individuals with innate talents in their respective fields. Even the hero Yerin had already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship before being recognized by the holy sword. In short, they are beings of a different caliber than humans like you. Am I wrong?”
“…What do you want to say?”
“It’s the same as what I said at the beginning. Don’t lose everything by being stubborn. Si-hyun. Acknowledge that you are in a desperate situation where you have to grab at straws, and accept my offer.”
I chose to remain silent with my mouth shut.
I needed time to organize my thoughts.
First of all, this pink-haired bitch thinks I’m a terribly shabby knight who is nothing without my magic.
Well, it’s not unreasonable to think that way.
Until just before I set foot in the northern lands, which were the territory of the demons, I had rarely revealed my full power.
At most, it was once or twice during the half-year with Bel, and given my master’s tendency not to talk about others, he wouldn’t have gone around bragging about my skills.
The party members who looked down on me had only mentioned that I had made a great contribution to the process of defeating the Demon King, but they had never mentioned my actual combat power.
For this pink-haired woman, who had only gathered information about my magic through Aris’s group, it was inevitable that she would conclude that I was a corpse without my magic.
“Let me ask you one thing. What did you agree to receive from the saintess in exchange for sealing my power?”
“The saintess’s light. She said she would cooperate so that I could study it.”
“And yet you’re more greedy for my magic?”
Sien nodded slightly.
“It’s a simple reason. Even if I receive the saintess’s light right away, it will take a long time to invest in it. But your magic is different. Even though a sufficient amount of magic has mixed into her body, Fria’s magic has not turned into black magic. That was not even the result of repeated research, but simply a result of Fria’s magic power and your magic mixing together.”
“So, you didn’t want to waste time.”
“No. To be honest, I’m greedy for the magic my only disciple has. If I can experience the same change as Fria just by receiving a sufficient amount of magic from you, then from that moment on, the magic tower will protect you by all means and methods. Don’t you think that’s a reason to show me your magic right now?”
She was right.
The full support of the magic tower, broadly speaking, also meant that I would have a means to convey my influence to the World Tree through the elven mages.
Also, since there were many beastmen who respected Juliana, it was possible that I could receive considerable help in the future.
I think it’s about time to take it out.
“Tower Master.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
I quietly nodded my head.
It was time to show that something else had also perked up along with my decision.
“Can you block the entry of outsiders? I’m going to have to take out my magic, so I’m a bit worried.”
“Don’t worry about that. No mage can enter this office without my permission.”
“Then I’ll show you.”
Expectation rose on Sien’s face.
“Could you come closer to me?”
Sien, who readily got up from her chair, walked up to me.
Her height was just the standard for a woman.
Her chest was also the right size to fit in my palm.
Just in case, I decided not to have high expectations.
If her tits were smaller than I imagined when I took off her clothes later, I might be greatly disappointed.
“I’ll tell you in advance, it was the tower master who held onto someone who said it was difficult to show right away and forced the issue.”
“Don’t worry. No matter what problems arise, I won’t hold you responsible.”
With only moderate expectations, I quickly unbuckled my belt and took off my pants and underwear in one go.
My dick, which had been suppressed until now, sprang out towards Sien as if it had been waiting for this moment.
“…Huh?”
Sien, as if not understanding the situation, glanced down and then looked back up at me, her mouth slightly open.
A moment later, her pale face turned bright red.
“…?!”
