“Faster! Let’s have sex!”
Scarlet’s courageous declaration echoed through Faster’s penthouse.
Even the soundproofed penthouse couldn’t contain the mana-infused shout of an S-rank Awakened.
That resounding mating call awakened the large, wall-mounted TV in the middle of the living room. Or, more accurately, it awakened the listening device hidden within.
Beep.
The high-performance listening device, capable of detecting even the faintest sounds, immediately sprang to life, fulfilling its purpose.
A listening device’s sole purpose was to relay everything it overheard to its owner. As always, it faithfully transmitted the words ‘Let’s have sex’.
-※※※
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Immediately after the listening device transmitted the recorded file, Ia Aris’s phone, clutched in her hand as she nervously bit her nails in the infirmary, vibrated.
-Buzz…
The short, monotonous vibration signaled that the listening device had sent a recording. Ia Aris had only placed a listening device and camera in one location. She instinctively turned on her phone.
“F-Finally, something. Faster’s penthouse is so soundproof I thought I wouldn’t get anything until he left the room. D-Did they come out? No, that’s not it. If they did, I would have received video footage too. Then what is it?”
Ia Aris, muttering her speculations, was a far cry from her usual intelligent and composed self.
Right now, she was just a nervous woman.
“Ugh…! Did I provoke Scarlet too much? If she lost her temper and attacked Faster… W-Well, Faster wouldn’t be easily overpowered, but if she threatened to burn down his place… he’d have no choice but to comply, right? Sh-Should I call him now and tell him to run away? I’ll buy him dozens of penthouses, just run away!”
Ia Aris, the idol of all Awakened, had been reduced to an ordinary (well she actually broke now) woman.
But the moment she realized this, her eyes sharpened.
I can’t be like this… Ia Aris, you’ll never get what you want if you’re swayed by unconfirmed events. Calm down. Calm down and take a deep breath.
Her composure, honed from years of acquiring luxury goods, finally kicked in. Deep breathing was part of her routine, her go-to method for regaining control.
“Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale…”
The slow, deep breaths calmed her. Regaining her composure, she finally made a rational decision.
“I’ll listen to the recording first and then decide. It can’t be too late. Scarlet’s an idiot who couldn’t even confess her feelings properly after more than ten years! Yes, it’s not too late. It can’t be…”
Her words, ‘It can’t be…’ were baseless, simply a desperate wish escaping her lips.
Baseless or not, the desperate wish and unwavering belief calmed her heart. Completely composed, she tapped the play button with a practiced finger.
‘Faster! Let’s have sex!’
Scarlet’s mana-infused cry, filled with longing, echoed through the infirmary from the phone’s speaker.
“Ha…”
Her composure, her calm, her belief – all exploded in a single instant. Ia Aris, her rationality gone, was nothing more than a disaster disguised as an S-rank Awakened.
“That crazy bitch!”
With a low curse, her powerful mana began to shake the infirmary, no, the entire Liar’s Trap guild.
-Rumble…!
-EEEEEEENNNNGGGGG!!!!!!
-Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Aaaaagh! Wh-What’s happening?! What’s going on?! R-Run!!! We’re all going to die!!!
Alarms blared, security shutters slammed down, and anti-magic sprinklers activated, releasing mana suppressants. Guild members, working or resting inside, scrambled to escape.
The only ones left in Liar’s Trap were the Doctor, safe in her secure lab, and Ia Aris, the cause of all this commotion.
“He’s that way. A three-minute run at full speed. Three minutes… Considering how long it usually takes Faster to emerge from the bathroom with a relieved expression after entering with an erection, I might be able to prevent vaginal ejaculation.”
Ia Aris, having caused this massive incident, ignored the damage to the guild, focusing all her attention on Faster, visible through the window.
“Scarlet, you cowardly bitch… That will never happen…!”
With that, the immense mana that had shaken the guild compressed and enveloped her.
Colorless mana, compressed into white force, wrapped around her body, exerting a pressure that threatened to burst her skin. But Ia Aris’s unique healing ability instantly repaired any damage before it could manifest.
She was now clad in a powerful mana armor, without any risk to herself.
This was ‘White Coat’, the only combat technique of Ia Aris, the world’s greatest healer.
“Just you wait, bitch!”
-BOOM!!!!
With a heartfelt curse, Ia Aris transformed into a white flash and shot towards Faster’s penthouse.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Was this real life?
I’d just been propositioned by Scarlet. And she wasn’t even pretending to be hypnotized.
Once, when I’d used the hypnosis app on Scarlet, I’d asked her if there was anything she wanted to do with me.
She’d hesitated, then, glancing at me nervously, she’d made a request so vulgar it made my skin crawl: “M-My lonely pussy wants a new friend, Master… Can I introduce it to your… penis?”
Her words had been so disturbing that I’d yelled, “How many demons are living in your brain to make you say such things?!” and spanked her as punishment.
But thinking back, she’d said those words while fully conscious.
So, Scarlet was just… incredibly lewd.
Well, come to think of it, Scarlet would start spewing vulgar nonsense the moment I showed her the hypnosis app.
Without any prompting from me, she’d call herself a ‘bad pussy’, a ‘slave’, a ‘pet’, a ‘punching bag’, a ‘footstool’, a ‘Master’s personal bidet’ (I’d stopped her before she went any further), and get all worked up.
Hmm, considering all that, Scarlet suggesting we have sex wasn’t that strange. I’d heard her say far more suggestive things countless times.
‘Let’s have sex’ was probably just Scarlet’s way of saying ‘Hi, long time no see’.
Feeling a little embarrassed for overreacting, I reached for the back of my head. That’s when I noticed Scarlet, her face crimson, glaring at me with a furious expression.
Uh… what? Why was she angry? W-Wait, was she about to cry? Why? Why?!
As if that wasn’t enough, tears welled up in her sharp eyes.
She looked like she was experiencing a mix of rage, indignation, and vulnerability, overwhelmed by an unbearable sense of shame.
“U-Ugh… Mmgh…”
Damn, she was really about to cry.
Even if Scarlet was a natural-born bully, seeing a beautiful woman like her on the verge of tears instinctively made me question my actions.
Why? What did I do wrong? I didn’t do anything wrong. I-I need to diffuse this situation. If she starts crying, I’m screwed.
Thanks to the pinky promise and the established channel of communication, talking to Scarlet was surprisingly easy. I smiled and made a joke.
“Scar, why are you glaring at me like you impulsively blurted out ‘Let’s have sex’ and are now embarrassed and angry? Anyone would think you’re serious. Ahahaha!”
“…”
“Hahahaha! Haha. Ha…”
“…”
“Hey, Scar, are you actually embarrassed?”
“Sniff. Ugh… Mmgh…!”
My last question was the final blow, shattering her composure.
Tears streamed down her large, sharp eyes, but her gaze, filled with fury, remained fixed on me.
When we were kids, I’d once forgotten a promise to play house with Scarlet at her mansion after getting carried away playing with my school friends.
When I finally remembered and rushed to her mansion, she’d given me the exact same look.
Back then, since Scarlet was still a child, I’d only had to endure three days of forced, realistic ‘playing house’ before she let me go.
But now, Scarlet was an adult, and her body was no longer satisfied with childish games.
She only wanted one thing: the union of man and woman, semen and vaginal fluids painting the sky, their combined essence refracting light into a rainbow.
I knew I was screwed.
But I couldn’t run. If I did, my house would be reduced to ashes.
“You stupid, idiotic mutt!”
Scarlet, her language skills seemingly regressing to that of a toddler, lunged at me.
Maybe there was some truth to the saying that people become childish when they’re incredibly angry.
Lost in that random thought, I couldn’t avoid Scarlet, who pounced on me like a wild animal, tears and fury in her eyes.
Overwhelmed by the superhuman strength of an S-rank Awakened, I was pinned beneath her.
Scarlet, having completely subdued me, grabbed my collar, tears streaming down her face, and yelled a rhetorical question.
“Answer me, Faster! Ugh… A-Are we going to have sex or not?!”
The correct answer to that question was, ‘No, we are not! And we never will be!’ But I couldn’t say that now, so I had no choice but to give her the answer she wanted.
“Y-Yes…!”
-Whoosh!
The moment I agreed, Scarlet incinerated my clothes.

Just do it! Before the other two come!
There is no comment section on the previous chapter … not sure what kind of bug would cause that though
She burned it down
