The next morning.
I woke up on the boat, unable to rember when I had fallen asleep.
Silvia lay covered in a thin cloth and blanket, her graceful curves catching my eye as I stared absentmindedly.
She looked elegant and beautiful, her delicate, fluttering eyelashes adding to her charm even in deep sleep.
Her milky-white skin was so soft and smooth; it was hard to believe she had been in my arms last night.
“…”
She really was sound asleep.
— Rustle, Rustle.
When she’s awake, Silvia is graceful and a bit like a feisty cat.
But while asleep, she looks irresistibly cute and lovable. Maybe that’s why her usual sharp gaze appeared gentler now?
“I’ve seen two different sides of you.”
Silvia looks adorable when she’s asleep.
But when we’re together like this, she can be so poised, uttering bold words with that dignified expression.
It was fascinating to see these new sides of her.
— Slip!
And I felt a surge of excitent, too.
“When will this insatiable desire end?”
I wrapped a blanket around my lower half, though it seed pointless. Still, the fact that I tried was what mattered… I think.
“Hmm.”
I noticed Silvia’s hair brushing the floor.
As I was gently arranging it, she slowly opened her eyes.
Blink, Blink.
She blinked twice gracefully and asked,
“…Ian, did you sleep well?”
“Yes. And you?”
“I did. I don’t even rember when I fell asleep. I usually don’t sleep well at night.”
Silvia tilted her head curiously, genuinely wondering. I recalled last night… or rather, the early hours of the morning.
During one of our many close monts, Silvia’s body tensed, and she began to tremble.
— Haah… Mmm!
What escaped from her mouth was less of a moan and more a deep, heavy breath.
It was as if the sound ca from deep within her.
Shudder!
Silvia’s legs quivered, and soon her entire body started trembling.
Then she collapsed, her eyes losing focus.
— Silvia, are you okay?!
I was quite startled at the ti, right until she began breathing softly in her sleep.
‘Co to think of it, Danya has been like this before, too.’
I checked on Silvia’s condition—her breathing, pulse, and pupil response were all normal.
She seed at peace, so I laid her comfortably, watching her until I drifted off myself.
“Ahh, I feel refreshed! I wish I could wake up like this every day.”
Silvia stretched, extending her arms, a slight yawn escaping her lips.
My gaze lingered on the smooth, fair skin of her underarms, and I quickly averted my eyes.
When would this fervor finally end?
I sighed softly, adding another blanket to cover myself as Silvia tilted her head and asked.
“Hey, Ian.”
“Yeah?”
“How was it yesterday?”
That was an unexpected question.
Of course, I sotis wonder if Silvia was satisfied too, but…
There was an unusual coolness in her tone.
“It was… wonderful.”
“Hm.”
Silvia crossed her arms, looking down at .
I felt a strange pang in my chest.
Her next question revealed the reason for this unease.
“Was it better with than with Danya?”
A chill ran down my spine.
Silvia’s direct questions are always so piercing.
I hadn’t hidden it, but when had she figured out that Danya and I had been intimate?
And how should I answer this?
“…”
After a brief hesitation, I shook my head.
After all, any answer derived from hesitation would only sound like an excuse.
And that wouldn’t be respectful to Silvia.
All I could do was speak honestly about how I felt.
“I’ll never compare the experience I had with you to anyone else.”
“Huh?”
“Because it’s a mory just for you and .”
“…”
I spoke honestly about how I felt.
“I was happy because it was sothing I could only share with you.”
The judgnt is entirely up to Silvia. Whatever she thinks, I’ll respect her thoughts.
“Hmph…”
Silvia pouted, looking adorably irritated with her usual cool expression.
I guess I’ve collected another rare expression from her.
Lost in that silly thought, I noticed Silvia looking down at intently.
“Is this what you like, Ian?”
“This?”
Silvia didn’t respond. Instead, she stepped closer.
With elegant hands, she reached for the hem of her dress.
— Swish
As her dress lifted, the silky undergarnts ca into view.
Silvia spoke in a chilling tone.
“, who usually looks so poised, acting this way for you…”
She had already seen through completely. Silvia was as sharp as ever.
— Thump, Thump
Her gaze, almost scornful, held a hint of mischief as she lifted her dress.
The alluring sight only fueled the fire within .
“Hmph…?”
Seeing my reaction, Silvia’s eyes curved playfully.
Whisper.
A soft, delicate fragrance tickled my nose.
— Hoo
Silvia leaned close to my ear, her warm breath brushing against it.
She whispered.
“Please punish Silvia, who’s already feeling this way from the morning.”

Lately, I’ve felt like I’ve been coming to my private room less and less.
This place is supposed to be my own space, after all.
“Am I really that busy?”
After casually tossing my belongings aside, I stretched.
Thanks to last night’s vigorous exercise, my thighs and lower back were aching.
If I keep this up, I might not need any extra physical training.
“…No way.”
I tried to laugh it off, but a dull ache in my lower abdon stifled my smile.
I really had overdone it.
Not just today but yesterday too; Danya and Lina definitely wore out.
In the middle of it all, I began to ponder.
“Sothing doesn’t add up.”
Sothing definitely felt off.
Let’s think carefully.
I’m the one dealing with this feverish desire, but I haven’t exactly been the one initiating anything.
If anything, I’m the one being…pursued.
I’d expect this from soone like Danya or Lina, but I never thought Silvia would be the sa.
“Not that I’m complaining.”
But that’s beside the point.
The real question is why they were the ones coming after .
“…”
Danya and Lina acting more instinctively is one thing. But Silvia, who usually has such rational judgnt, making these moves? It’s unlike her.
I didn’t have complete certainty yet.
But sothing was suspicious.
My initial feeling of unease was starting to grow into doubt.
‘If my hypothesis is correct…’
This isn’t just my problem; it’s everyone’s problem.
“The issue is that there’s no way to prove it.”
All I have are suspicions and doubts.
And if I share this theory with soone and turn out to be wrong, I’d definitely be seen as so weirdo.
It’s a kind of conspiracy theory, after all.
“Who could I turn to for help?”
That was the dilemma—if you could call it that.
“…Actually, I might know just the place.”
A flash of insight struck .
◆
The ‘Occult Research Club’ was located in the sa building as the ‘Dessert Club.’
As soon as Lupina, the only mber and head of the Occult Research Club, saw , she trembled and started backing away.
“Ah… Eek…!”
…What’s this?
Is she chanting a spell?
I tilted my head in confusion, and Lupina squeaked, hurrying to a corner.
“D-Don’t hit !”
…What exactly does she think of ?
Instead of scolding her, I raised my hands.
It was body language ant to reassure her I had no intention of harming her.
People like her were never convinced by words alone.
Finally, a slightly calr Lupina asked cautiously.
“A-Are you here because of last ti?”
“Last ti?”
I tilted my head, wondering what she ant by that.
Did we even have a “last ti” worth ntioning?
“When the D-Dessert Club first tried to secure a room… I, um, interfered…”
Ah, right.
Now I rembered. Lupina had tried to monopolize the building and even used hypnosis to try and drive us away.
Honestly, I didn’t mind too much.
Thanks to her, we basically have this whole building to ourselves.
One thing, however, ca to mind.
“Didn’t you promise to do sothing as a forfeit for losing back then?”
“Eek!!!”
Lupina scurried back to the wall once again.
What on earth did she agree to that she’s so scared about now?
“I… I haven’t showered for two days, so I probably… sll. I-I’ll help you next ti, I promise.”
“???”
I couldn’t follow this conversation at all.
Her eyes filled with tears, so I decided to get straight to the point.
“Whatever it is, I’m not here to claim any compensation today.”
“R-Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Then… is it about rent? A friendship fee?”
Friendship fee? Seriously?
“Nothing like that. I ca to ask for so advice.”
“A… advice? From… from soone like ?”
Despite her words, a wide grin spread across Lupina’s face.
It seed I might be the first person to ever seek her out for advice.
‘She really wears her emotions on her sleeve.’
I guess spending all her ti alone researching dark magic in a place like this must get lonely.
Though she might seem gloomy, her nature didn’t seem all that bad.
After finishing my ntal assessnt of her, I finally got to the topic.
“It might just be a conspiracy theory…”
“C-Conspiracy theory?”
Haa, Haa.
Lupina’s breathing grew heavier.
…I really had co to the right place.
Her cheeks flushed with excitent, her eyes sparkled.
I presented my hypothesis to her.
“It seems that all the academy students are… in heat.”
