Mako
Seriously? Oswald let out a cry. Youre going for this punk?
Mako shot Oswald a displeased frown. Dont give that look. Ive carefully considered my options. With my virginity lost and my age advancing, I should have a baby now or I will never have the opportunity.
Still, shouldnt you be interested in sleeping with a man more suitable considering your age? Oswald asked.
More suitable man? You an Mako raised an eyebrow. A man like you?
Oswald nodded without hesitation. Of course! Im a well sought after stud. My numbers speak for themselves. 92% fertility rate and an average of 5.3 won a month.
Hmm when you describe those stats, thats exciting to hear. Mako shot flatly.
Excitent? Were talking about procreation. What kind of excitent does a girl need? Oswald responded dismissively.
Romance? Love? Mako raised an eyebrow, looking sowhat amused.
Oswalds face turned incredulous as if those very concepts were silly to him. However, before he could say sothing, I stepped in.
What are you doing, Oswald? Arent you the one who advised to get Mako pregnant? Now you seem to be advising her to say no!
Oswald shook his head. Hey, this is a completely different situation.
How?
Back then, I was telling you to rape her and make her pregnant. If you pushed her down and forced her, there was very little she could do about it. Anyone would have seen this as normal. However, for a teacher to suddenly chase after a student like this, how can I see this as anything but strange!
If thats your way of asking if I have an alternative motive, Mako huffed. I assure you I do not!
Clyburn, I advise you to hold back. Oswald snorted. When it cos to procreation, I must say that woman cannot be trusted!
I wore a complicated expression on my face. Even soone like Oswald didnt seem to be able to avoid the common sense of this world polluting how he saw things. n and won depended on each other, but couldnt trust each other. n fought for their slice, and won fought for their seed. It was the way of this world, yet even now I still couldnt bring myself to get used to it. I found the whole thing to be an ugly system. All of these beautiful won around that have supported only showed I was right on this. I could trust these won. I wanted to be a man they could trust as well.
Oswald, Mako is-
I brought a Liliths contract. Mako broke in, pulling a packet of papers out of her purse.
What stopped from interrupting was the sudden shocked look on the faces of both Rose and Oswald. Oswald quickly turned stern and walked up, snatching the form from her hands.
Seriously girl? Youd bring one of those? Oswald frowned.
This is archaic. Mako you cant honestly be serious!
Mako squared her shoulders, looking determinedly over at before nodding. That is what I offer as my slice. I offer to sign a Liliths contract.
How did you even get one of these made? Oswald flipped through the sheets of paper, his eyes widening. These are a taboo of the highest order. Even getting a look at a design requires a very high clearance in the governnt. Are you sure it is real?
Ive confird its authenticity. Mako shrugged. It was rely a chance encounter. A certain woman who once helped on my path.
Oswalds eyes shot up. Care to provide details?
Mako gave a wry look. Im not going to be able to tell you what you want to know. After I found out that I was an aseeded, I went to so great lengths to find out how to cure my affliction. I ran into a mysterious woman deep in so library. It was a silly thing. She was short and couldnt reach the higher shelves, so I helped her. She told she wanted to repay . I ntioned that I was aseeded, and thats when she pushed that contract into my hands. She said that if I wanted to uncover the truth of magic, that I must submit to a man in entirety She said that only by signing a Lilith contract could I regain my magic.
That Oswald shook his head helplessly.
I know I thought it was insane as well. This is why the contract was stowed away. I did take it to a trustworthy high-tier spellman, who confird it was real. I thought, one day, it might be sothing I could sell to a museum. Then I lost my virginity, and I t Clyburn, another aseeded
There were several gasps this ti. Rose even stood up from her seat, staring at . I hadnt bothered to tell any of them that I was aseeded. It was a bit of detail that I didnt think needed to be known. However, they all looked at with shock and surprise.
Youre an aseeded? Lyra asked, covering her mouth.
Yeah? So? What of it? I didnt an to snap, but their expressions made uneasy.
Its nothing, dear. Rose glared at the two half-sisters, causing both of them also to zip their mouths.
I frowned, not willing to allow them to just ignore things I ought to know. The way they looked at contained too much shock and pity to be a simple matter. Just as I was about to demand the answers I sought, Oswald spoke up.
n and won are about equal in magical power. Most noncitizens never learn it. However, among high society, there is a notion that magical power coincides with fertility. Being aseeded is about the sa as claiming youre infertile. For a woman, its a sha, but few n bother to ask, so its still possible to get with a man and get pregnant. These won never admit afterward theyre aseeded though, only perpetuating the myth. For a man though
Fertility is everything I finished his line of reasoning. But, Ive had two children, and possibly more on the way.
That was all before your aseeded test, Mako explained gently. Anyone who found out you were aseeded would assu you burned it out during that first use.
W-we havent been able to get pregnant. Madison stepped forward and spoke. Weve tried all month.
Thats not necessarily evidence of anything. Oswald frowned. Pregnancies can sotis take several months. This does not necessarily an hes impotent.
I lowered my head, clinching a fist. Impotent. Those words reared their ugly head again. I already had possibly as many as four children. In my old world, I would have been elated to have that many kids. In fact, I might have considered that too many. In this world, it was all but a death sentence for . The mood in the room grew somber. I had gotten Mia pregnant on the first go, and Aiko even with a condom! Yet, Ashton didnt get pregnant, and neither did Madison. No one since my accident. It was Madison who put her hand on my shoulder, feeling my body shaking slightly, she hugged my arm tearfully.
Its okay well keep trying. Madison tried to reassure .
I-I will still give my virginity to Clyburn. Lyra, who had been quiet since the
Announcent
, raised her fist. Even if hes I still want to try with Clyburn!
Rose nodded. Youve already given a beautiful daughter, how could I leave now?
I remained in silence for a few monts before I looked up at Oswald. You said aseeded won are still capable of having children?
In won yes maybe as I said, few won would admit to being aseeded in the first place. Oswald sighed and then his eyes sharpened on Mako. Aseeded does anyone else know about this?
Mako nodded her head sadly. I didnt put it in the dical record, but the overdraft was witnessed by Diba Monic. So did Rebecca, Brooke, and half the magic class. At the ti, they thought she was Clarice though
Oswald hissed. Damn it, Clyburn, you should have ntioned this before if word gets out hes aseeded, our biggest bargaining chip is off the table.
Its all hearsay and conjecture though Rose spoke up. If Mako left no records of it, then claiming hes aseeded is just a blind accusation.
If she needed records, shell just fabricate them. If she believes hes aseeded, they can force him to take a test, and if he fails it, then
Why didnt you tell this before? I demanded, glaring at Mako.
She lowered her head. Im sorry, it was my mistake. I still suspected you may have been the man who raped , and so I was still angry. Part of didnt want to get into it. You looked so depressed about being unable to use magic, I didnt want to spring thoughts of infertility on you. Secondly, I thought you were born aseeded, which ant that your kids proved you fertile. Knowing now that you are struggling to make Madison pregnant, Im no longer as sure.
Mako genuinely did look sorry. Her eyes teared up slightly and her face was red. My attitude started to soften at that. I was angry, but it wasnt at any of the won here. This was supposed to be my second life. How could I be impotent again? Why was my life so cruelly unfair. I believed my girls when they told that they would stay by my side but I also believed my wife. Flashes of her on the examination table getting plowed by that doctor ca flooding back to . How longer before Madison or Lyra decided to take their chances with the first man that offers?
Heck, Oswald was right there. It could be him who ultimately impregnated my sister, fulfilling the job I couldnt. I couldnt stop the bitterness from spilling on my face. This further soured the mood in the room. The worst part of all of it was that I could never even explain to these girls what I was thinking. Perhaps the only woman who could understand was Hannah, and she was off doing gods knew what.
This will severely hurt our case. Oswald sighed. The governnt likes to look for opportunities to arrest n and turn them into sperm dispensers. I have no doubt that theyll be pushing for a conviction. Theyll test you out, and if its true, theyll simply trade you off to another country, and if the rumors are false, they have one more cum dispenser. Its just what they would do.
So, you understand why I ca here with the Liliths contract then, Mako spoke up eagerly. We must complete the contract, and then we will have sex. I didnt choose to co today on accident. Ive been checking my calendar. Tonight, I am at my most fertile. If the contract works, then perhaps Im more likely to get pregnant than any other woman. Perhaps two aseeded can make a baby under a Liliths contract. At the very least, we owe it to ourselves to try.
I still dont understand. Lyra broke in. What is a Liliths contract?
Oswald looked over at Rose, clearly disinterested in explaining sothing like this. Rose was fascinated by history, and new a great deal about this kinds of facts. She stepped forward excitedly and then started to speak after clearing her throat.
Long ago, won were the only sex on this planet. n had been wiped out along with the demons by Gods flood, and the world sustained itself for eons by bathing in the waters of life. However, two things seed to occur concurrently. One was the birth of Gods son, the blessed man. The second was the rise of the demon lord, Lilith.
This is scripture. I murmured to myself, recognizing the tale I had read as part of my mothers birthday present to years ago. It had seed like a myth the way it was explained in the book, but Rose was talking about this as if it was history.
Yes, this is the origin story of wons sin and the 1/1000th curse. However, all of that ca later. What ca first was the demon lord and her armies of monsters. The blessed man made himself known to the world, and he gathered 12 disciples. He led a charge on the demon lords castle, and in the end, made the demon lord submit to him.
This is where things start to grow a little fuzzy. Although it was known that the blessed man went on to father six daughters and six sons from his apostles, it has never been clear what happened to the demon lord. Did she father any children? So claim the Queen was the demon lord, but only a few truly believe this to be so. The most accepted belief is that Lilith had a daughter with the blessed man. So even believe that line exists until this very day!
Hmph stop showboating Oswald grunted. Just tell them what they need to know.
Rose rolled her eyes and continued. The demon lord was magically too powerful, and the apostles refused to accept her. Thus, to appease his won, the blessed man created a contract. The demon lord, who had fallen in love with the blessed man, signed this contract in blood, which bound her power to him. With that, it beca known as a Liliths contract.
Over the years, others copied and reused the contract. It beca quite popular at various points, but it always had one predominate limitation. It only functioned between a man and a woman. It can be written to function either way, but at the end of it, one is subservient to the other. There is a similar marriage contract that exists that is less one-directional. Many people think that the marriage contract was the basis for the Lilith contract of vice-versa. As far as marriage contracts, your mother was the only woman I know to have ever signed one.
As for Lilith contracts, they eventually beca taboo. Although there is no official law that says one cannot exist, they are genuinely frowned upon no matter what direction they go. If you choose to do this, you would absolutely have to keep it a secret.
I shook my head, trying to bring in all of this information, but still coming up a bit short. Im still a little confused. What does the Lilith contract do exactly?
Rose straightened her glasses. Hmm? Its a magically binding contract. It creates a link between two people. By offering up their power to the other they bind their, whats a good word-
Their soul. Oswalds voice cut into the conversation. Its a soul contract. Her mind, her body, everything would be yours. You want to know what this is? Its slavery. Mako has just offered you her soul!
My mouth fell open in a gasp, and even Lyra and Madison looked startled. Only Rose sighed, turning her eyes to Mako. Rather than shy back, Mako nodded and took a step forward.
I have given this so thought. Ive decided Clyburn should be the man to have my child. I may be infertile. I certainly didnt get pregnant my first ti with the boy nad Ben. You cannot trust fully as I am, so I offer this contract. Maybe, that woman wasnt crazy, maybe there is so kind of synergy between a master and his slave that allows us to have a child, or better yet, allows us to use magic. This is my hope, and this is why I decided to co.
Even if she gets pregnant tonight, the fact that he is an aseeded will still be part of the trial. Rose sighed. What will be the point, then?
Itll be proof. Oswald snapped his fingers. As you said before, this is all hearsay. If we can put a woman in front of the court who was impregnated after the incident, we throw into complete doubt Diba Monics statents. If she tries to push for this, we can essentially crush her argunt before it goes anywhere.
Mako gives Oswald a wry smile. Does that an you finally approve of ?
Oswald sighed, glancing over at . Get the job done this ti, will you? I dont know what these crazy won see in you that would make them go the lengths of signing a Liliths contract, but you should be glad that you have so crazy won in your life, or Id predict youd be dead already.
Thanks I think. I scratched my cheek.
Im going to go digest this information. He lifted the packet. Get her pregnant, if you can, and then rest until the court case. Be there sharp, and make sure you have proper security.
Yes. I nodded. And thank you, Oswald I really an that.
This one is for your father. Oswald sighed. You remind of him a bit. I did him so wrongs. This is just my way of making up for it.
I somberly watched as he turned away and left the room. After he walked out, it seed like a bubble had been pricked.
I suppose its ti I head to bed. Madison stretched.
Oh, ah too! Lyra jumped a little. If I dont get ho soon, brother will co looking for again. He really is way too much sotis.
Rose headed over and gave a small hug. Im going to check on our daughters. Dont stay up too late.
I blinked as I realized every girl was clearing out of the room except Mako. That ant that I and Mako were supposed to thats right. We had a ceremony to do. This magical contract wasnt going to make itself, right? That would be followed by getting a teacher at my school pregnant. I could only give a wry smile when a thought struck . Wait magical contract?
Ah! I let out a noise, causing the three won to stop at the door. If this is a magical contract, and were both aseeded, doesnt that an that Ill need soone who can use magic to assist?
Rose looked like she was going to speak for a second, but it was Mako who tugged on my arm and caused to glance over at her. Magical contracts for so reason work differently than runes. It isnt understood why, but if a man and a woman put magic in together, the overdraft doesnt occur. This is true when an aseeded and a seeded are bound by a contract. Although it hasnt been properly tested, I believe the sa should be true between two aseeded. Contracts remain one of the few magical things an aseeded can do without external power assistance.
Oh I responded simply, giving a forced smile.
That settled that, but I still hesitated. This whole event felt off to , and for so reason. I didnt want to be left alone with Mako. There was a bit of dread inside that I couldnt understand. Rose picked up on my discomfort and quickly understood my hesitation. She gave a gentle smile. Perhaps, she knew better than I knew myself because she got right to the heart of the issue that even I myself didnt understand.
Clyburn, dont worry so much about this. Rose smiled. The day I decided to give a man my heart, I knew your obligations would require you to be with other won. I dont believe youre doing this out of selfishness or lack of control. You will have many lovers in the years to co. Hundreds of them, possibly. So won will bear your children whose nas you cannot rember. Its the fact that you try that makes happy. With the contract, Mako will be in your life for as long as you will it. I admit I feel a bit jealous that she will gain this bond with you, but I also understand the sacrifice shes making. In short, do not feel like what youre doing will in any way change how I feel about you. Youre the father of my children, and my heart wont waver no matter what.
Madison stepped forward, following Roses lead. Youre my brother, as well. We grew up together, and youve shown nothing but kindness, even though there are other brothers who may have turned on after finding out I wasnt their full sister, you stuck by and chased when I was my most vulnerable. I love you as well. I-if this contract helps her get pregnant, then I also would like to do this contract!
Do not be so rash, girl Rose chastised Madison, causing her cheeks to redden, but she remained firm in her stance, not backing down from what she said.
Her actions caused my heart to swell with a bit of respect and admiration. These won really were stronger than I was. My mories didnt all match the lifestyle of a harem. My wife had cheated on , and it had killed . Going around and sleeping with other won felt a bit like cheating. Although I had gotten around that ntally by keeping the won separate from each other, that was no longer the case. It was reaching the point where my won would see with other won, and I needed to get used to that fact. Eventually, wed need to start creating a schedule where I took turns or sothing. If the situation was reversed, I wasnt sure if I could do it.
Finally, Lyra ca forward. Clyburn when you get back to school, you must spend more ti with . Ive kept my distance out of respect for you and other won, but I refuse to be left behind! I wont even say sothing like my feelings for you wont change. My feelings for you only seem to grow the more I know you. Therefore, I just want to know you and have a place in your heart like these other won!
Lyras speech stunned and the other girls there. Her eyes were closed and she wore a blush when she finally finished. I broke into a smile, the words of these won finally relieving my fear and anxiety.
Lyra, you already do have a place in my heart, I responded simply. Be ready, because once I knock Mako up, Im coming for you next!
Lyra made a sound of surprise while shaking slightly. Madison and Rose shot wry looks. I let out a laugh and rubbed the back of my head. I guessed I went a little overboard there, but I ant every word. The three won said goodnight one last ti and then left, leaving alone with Mako.
Should we go to my bedroom? I asked, feeling slightly nervous.
It sounded weird, but outside of the family, Mako was the first adult woman I was sleeping with within this world. All of the other won I had been with were seventeen or younger. They were young, and childish, and a bit irresponsible. Mom and Aunt didnt count because they were family, and thus the word adult didnt seem to apply to them in particular. Neither was the case with Veris who grew up taking care of and her daughter whom she led in our first sexual encounter. Thus, I felt a bit of pressure from Mako I hadnt felt before. She was a woman, and I was still in the body of a fifteen-year-old boy.
Her legs were long, her butt round and tight. Her body was undeniably an adult womans body. I could only sigh as I brought her to my room. My only saving grace was that she was just as inexperienced with sex as any woman in this world. Although she was no longer a virgin, she was unconscious during that ti. That ant that Id need to be leading the way in this encounter. Once the door was closed, and I made sure to lock it this ti, I sat down on the bed. Mako laid the contract down on the table.
That contract- I started, only to have Mako cut off.
I know what you want to say, and I insist.
I continued forward anyway. The likelihood of this fixing our magic, let alone making your pregnant is basically nothing. Plus if you get pregnant and it turns out to have nothing to do with this contract, what will we do then? We wont know whether Im truly impu-impudent. Or whether the Lilith contract can indeed fix it. I dont want you being hurt unnecessarily.
Mako gave a gentle smile. That you are willing to concern yourself with my well-being is exactly why I know this is the right decision. We do not have the ti to guess. You must make pregnant tonight if we want any chance of confirming your success by the trial.
I let out a sigh. I just wanted our first ti to be special.
Mako smiled. With you, my first ti will be. As far as Im concerned, youre the only man Ive been with, and the only man Ill ever want to be with.
Mako
Now enough diddle dallying. Co, my love or perhaps I should call you master? Her eyes twinkled.
Please dont
Hmm well decide what feels right when the ti cos.
That sounds like youre avoiding my say on the matter
Let us get the contract over with. I will need a drop of your blood. Mako demanded, pulling out a dical lance.
She grabbed my hand and poked the finger, letting a drop of blood fall on the contract. She did the sa with her own blood a mont later using another lance. It lost a lot of the effect. These sorts of rituals usually involved taking so ceremonial knife and slicing your hand open. It seed like none of that was really necessary.
Okay now that the rune has been prid, then we both will need to pour power into it at the sa ti. As long as we do this, it should cast correctly, rather than explode. Since this rune influences how our magic interacts with each other rather than an external environnt, these sorts of contracts do not require calculation changes.
I nodded as I stared down at the final page of the contract, which was actually a very fancy piece of paper as well as a complex magical rune. Its complexity was terrifying, actually. Compared to the rune I had tinkered with that one day, this made it look like childs play. Well, it was childs play. Looking at this, I realized true magic looked more like computer programing than learning a few variables. The idea of trying to keep this complex form in my head was impossible. The only way to invoke it was to draw it out.
I swallowed loudly and then pressed my hand against the rune. Mako put hers on top of mine. I didnt know this, but this was the way that the marriage contract was fulfilled. It wasnt necessary to touch the rune at all. It didnt make the rune more powerful or anything. It was another one of those ntal things, like gesturing or saying an incantation. People simply did it because it made them more comfortable. For , I couldnt imagine poring power into a run at a distance.
I started pushing power into it. The second I went, I felt that familiar tug. It was almost like the power was being dragged out of . It only lasted a second, because Makos power ca in. The second our powers entered the rune, they began to rge. The suction ceased, and instead, I felt like I could move my magic and fill the rune, completing the invocation.
With the sheer complexity of the rune, this took a while, and it didnt seem to matter whether it was her guiding the magic or . If we both worked on spreading the magic throughout the rune, itll likely be faster, but this was already a fine speed for . In truth, Mako had been studying magic far longer than I had. She was also an aseeded for far longer than I was. That ant I trusted her to do the job correctly more than myself. Thus, I could only wait as she continued to invoke this complicated contract.
As I allowed myself to dwell on things, thats when I started to notice sothing odd about the magic. Our will, or mana, or chakra, it went by many nas but it was all essentially the sa thing, was sothing that existed between Mako and . It felt sothing like a circuit. My body had will flowing through it. However, when I went to exude will using an invocation, I had to open my circuits.
This was when the event occurred called an overdraft. Like a cut powerline, it dangerously exploded with power, the current moving in whatever direction without insulation. However, when I had Mako here, the circuit felt different. It felt complete. Well, sort of. The contract, the rune we were invoking, felt like a buffer, a glue that closed our circuit. Her power flowed into and my power flowed into her, and both of our powers flowed into the Rune. Even though the bonding process wouldnt start until the invocation was fully powered, we already felt connected.
However, was the Rune even really necessary? What if I pushed my power directly into Mako? Would the circuit be completed? Of course, I wasnt sure what that would an. If our circuit was made complete, how could then invoke magic into a rune? This was all just stupid pondering. Before I could dwell on it too much longer, Mako reached the end. There was a blinding flash, although it didnt occur in front of . It was more like my mind suddenly went white.
I felt a tug on my mind like was being pulled sowhere. I wanted to resist, but I stopped myself as I realized the direction was Mako. Mako herself looked a bit like a choked chicken, her eyes bulging as the magic erupted around her, and then finally subsided. When it was all over, Mako bent over, gasping for breath.
Are you okay? I asked.
However, before she could answer, I realized I already knew. She was okay. She had felt out of breath and tired, but otherwise okay. She actually had stubbed her toe soti earlier that day, and it still hurt a bit. I could feel an itch on her back that she hadnt scratched because she had needed to focus on the rune. I also felt her emotions. They were complicated, a jumbled ss. But when she looked up at , sothing I distinctly felt was love and affection.
I gasped as I realized that with this bond, I knew every part of Mako. Information flooded into my mind, learning every nuance of her body. Her weaknesses, her strengths, her sensitive areas, every piece of information beca mine if I but asked for it. She looked up at , her mouth opened as she panted slightly.
Mako I said, suddenly feeling all doubts gone. Lets make a baby.
Mako stared up at , her eyes teary with bursting affection. Yes Master.
