Thump-! Thump-!
‘I thought I was dead!!’
Despite acting calm with all my might, my heart was pounding like crazy.
Of course, how could I not be startled when a robber was threatening with a knife… no, when a phantom thief was threatening with a cane?
I wasn’t careless.
Even when Chloe was acting like a clumsy graduate student, I never let my guard down for a mont.
But when Chloe decided to strike, I couldn’t even react.
‘Is it because she’s at that level that she can operate as a phantom thief…’
The difference in skill was so overwhelming it was laughable, but I didn’t feel despair.
Because I never intended to fight and win against Chloe from the start.
How could an ordinary academy boy like defeat a legendary phantom thief?
Honestly, even if we took away magic and artifacts and fought barehanded, I felt like I’d lose.
But…
Even soone like had one talent that could overwhelm Chloe.
「Sex」
When it ca to sex, I was so talented that even Goddess Elise would vouch for it.
I was confident I could beat anyone in a sex duel on a bed.
…However, the problem was that I had no way to get Chloe into bed.
At first, I briefly considered using her identity to blackmail her into a relationship, but I quickly dismissed that thought.
‘That would be rape! I’ve really decided never to rape again!’
One mistake was enough.
I vowed not to rape anyone after Valentine.
So, Chloe’s ‘corrective sex’ must start with consent.
‘Then how can I get Chloe to agree to corrective sex?’
It wasn’t an easy question, but humans always find a way.
A few days before eting Chloe.
“You… are you crazy?”
Helen, with a venomous expression, crossed her arms and spoke.
“That’s harsh…”
“Harsh?! You need a slap to co to your senses?! Soone who didn’t even contact for a while suddenly shows up asking to borrow the Golden Rose, isn’t that crazy?! Ha! Seriously! Do you think the Golden Rose is so kind of toy for kids…”
“…So… can’t you lend it?”
“What, what is that… that look like an abandoned puppy on a rainy day… No, no way! Even with that look, it’s not going to work! This is really an important item!”
“…Helen… really, there’s no way?”
“I said no!! Stop whining… Eh? What, what? Why are you coming so close all of a sudden!”
“Just, since it’s been a while, you look even prettier.”
“Eek!!… If you think I’ll fall for that, you’re wrong! Rather, step back… Eek!? W-where are you touching!”
“….”
“No, no! Not… not now… I said no… I haven’t even showered… I only made ti because you ca, I have to go back soon… Hup?!♥”
First step of ‘punishnt sex’ was to get hold of the ‘Golden Rose’.
Rub- Rub-
“Huh? Helen, just lend it to for a mont.”
“Ugh…!♥Hick!♥…Th…that’s right!♥…Just because… you act cute…!♥…Hic! I…I’ll lend… it!♥Haah!♥ Initially… where are you… going to use it… Hic!♥”
“I told you it’s for the peace of the empire? I’ll use it quickly and return it. Trust ?”
“Th-then…!♥ Trusting you… has… nothing to do with…♥ it… Hic!?… While you… talk… your… finger in my… butt!?…♥Huuuh?!♥”
“I’ll keep bothering you until you say yes.”
“I… I…♥ Hic…Hick!!♥!…While… you rub… my… clit…!.. Hic… my… butt…♥… if you keep prodding…!.. Huuuh!♥…I… I’ll give… you the… Golden Rose!♥”
Squeak-! Creak-! Creak-!
“Hiiii?!♥ A-alright…!♥…Gah!… I’ll lend… it!♥…Ohhh!!?♥… Now… please… stop torturing !!!♥♥”
Through a very high-level negotiation process with the successor of Redrose, I succeeded in borrowing the ‘Golden Rose’.
“Haah… Here you go… I’m telling you again, treat this as if it’s your life. If it’s revealed that I let this out of the family, my position as successor could be jeopardized.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll feed you if that happens.”
“What, what are you saying! How can a commoner like you feed , Helen Redrose… Hmph!”
“But… Helen, I need sothing else.”
“What?! After borrowing the Golden Rose, what else do you need? …What, what? You need a suit and an artifact for cognitive decline too?”
“…Can’t do it? Harin’s mom?”
“Really, only when you need sothing do you call Harin’s mom!!”
“….I see.”
“Aargh!!! I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it!! So stop looking at with that face!! Ugh… Seriously… after not contacting for so long, all you do is ask for artifacts, clothes, and now this… Do you think I’m so kind of convenient woman for you?”
“No way, how much I love Helen.”
“With that mouth… well, I love you too, but…”
Glancing away while barely whispering, that must be Helen’s charm.
“Haah… I’ll say it again, you have to return the Golden Rose no matter what.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll return it right after securing the empire’s peace.”
“That’s what worries more. What kind of thing are you going to do to ntion the peace of the empire… Haah, I’m lending it to you because it’s you.”
“Is Helen worried about or the Golden Rose?”
“Hmph! Both, why ask? And… even for you, today’s not free. Think of it as a debt.”
“Do I have to pay? How much do I have…”
“Ha, forget it. That petty cash. How much could you possibly have? Go buy so snacks with it.”
“….”
From Helen’s perspective, the money I gathered might be petty cash, but it sohow stung.
“So how should I repay you? With my body?”
“Wh-what are you talking about, body!! Sigh… No. This is serious talk. I’ve been trying to buy land for a new branch of the guild, and guess what? The central part is owned by the church.”
“So?”
“…What do you an so? You clueless man. You’re close with the next saint candidate, right? Use your connection.”
“Can’t I just go to Lady Yuris and talk?”
“Ha…!!”
Helen sneered and twisted her lips at my words.
“You really know nothing about the saint candidate, do you? Why did I approach you in the first place? Wasn’t it because you have connections to the saint candidate and the royal family!”
“What… was that the reason?”
“…Ah!! What, what! So what!! The past doesn’t matter!! Don’t be petty…!! I’m not with you for those reasons anymore, so it’s fine!!”
“I didn’t say anything…”
“Sh-shut up!! Anyway, that saint candidate. She looks innocent on the outside but she’s as cunning as a fox. I tried to approach her several tis before, but she cut off so sharply that I couldn’t establish a connection.”
“….?”
I didn’t distrust Helen, but I couldn’t believe Lady Yuris would do such a thing.
“Aren’t you mistaken? Lady Yuris wouldn’t do that.”
“You… are you taking another woman’s side right in front of ?”
