◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The Headmaster’s right-hand man, all smiles and slimy handshake. What a two-faced bastard.
I wanted to expose him right then and there, give him a big screw-you, but this was a time for rational thought.
He held a high position in the Magic Tower. A noble himself, and the Headmaster’s right-hand man, no less.
Without concrete evidence, taking him down would be difficult. Because, you know, nobility.
Such was the injustice of this world.
To catch him, I needed solid proof, something to tie him down. Fortunately, I already had a plan.
For now, I’d play along and welcome him.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Kerry. I’ve heard so much about you from the Sage. He’s never welcomed anyone so warmly, even calling you his brother. Hahaha.”
The man, pleased with the agreeable response, chattered excitedly and then requested that we entrust him with our security. Oh, he was really eager to devour us.
Then something caught my eye.
The staff he was holding. Atop it was an orb, resembling a magic storage orb.
“Ah, does this pique your interest? This is a magical tool called a magic storage orb. If you wish, I can provide you with one. It’s a rare item, but I have a few in stock as I collect them.”
“Collect them? Really? I heard it’s a precious item…”
“Yes, it is precious, but I already possess three.”
Nice! This guy had a very nice hobby.
I’d have to ask him to get me some when I take down the Headmaster and him later. If I asked my brother, the Sage, it would be easy enough.
Lina looked at me with worried eyes. She seemed concerned that I might side with him.
The man bowed repeatedly, bidding us farewell, and left the inn. Lina then cautiously spoke to me.
“Um…Kerry. As I mentioned before, we can’t fully trust the Magic Tower yet. It would be best not to get too close to that man…”
“Oh, I was just playing along. It was exhausting, he talks so much.”
As I shook my head in exasperation, Lina finally smiled, relieved.
“Actually, I’m on my way back from speaking with the Sage about a similar matter. That’s why our conversation last night went on so long. The Sage is also troubled by the presence of traitors.”
“Huh?”
Lina’s eyes widened, surprised by the unexpected words.
Of course, I was lying. Talk with the Sage? I’d just been having a great time with Ellie.
Kerry showed his companions the documents he’d received from Madam.
“The Sage, after his own investigation, has narrowed down the suspects. These are them. Most belong to the Headmaster’s faction. By the way, the man who just left is the Headmaster’s right-hand man.”
Lina examined the documents.
While there wasn’t definitive proof yet, the suspicious behavior of these individuals was well-documented.
In particular, the information about the Headmaster’s monthly pre-dawn visits to the abandoned mine was crucial. There had to be something there.
“Impressive, Kerry. I was worried because you came in without a word yesterday, but it seems you were accomplishing great things.”
“It’s nothing I did myself. It’s just what I heard from the Sage.”
“Gaining the trust of someone like the Sage is a skill in itself. I heard he calls you his brother?”
“Honey! That’s amazing. To be honest, I suspected you were cheating on me with another woman yesterday…I’m sorry. I won’t even suspect it internally anymore!”
Goosebumps erupted on my back. A woman’s intuition was scary.
Victoria, intrigued, joined the conversation.
“Hmm. Indeed. With this much information, a raid while they’re in the abandoned mine might be possible.”
Kerry felt a pang of guilt at the praise, but hey, all’s well that ends well, right? The information was real, after all.
Late into the night, the group planned. A plan to ensnare the Headmaster’s faction.
It seemed like I’d have to coordinate with the Sage beforehand.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
It was a night of the full moon.
According to the schedule, today was the day the Headmaster personally visited the abandoned mine, a once-a-month occurrence.
The group was standing before a shortcut that Lina had discovered earlier. The old woman was left behind, deemed unsuitable for infiltration. She was happy about it, complaining of knee pain anyway.
“You all remember the plan, correct? We avoid combat as much as possible before the operation commences.”
Lina reminded them emphatically.
“If the enemy truly is the Headmaster of the Magic Tower…his magical prowess won’t be a sham. We absolutely cannot let our guard down. And we mustn’t get agitated.”
“Don’t worry. Even if I get excited, my husband is here now.”
Victoria scoffed, implying that she was different from Natasha.
“Kerry, I’ll protect you. Don’t worry.”
“I, I can protect him too!”
“Aren’t you a damage dealer? Leave Kerry to me.”
“…”
Natasha pouted, seemingly speechless.
“It’s time. Let’s infiltrate. The secret passage is here.”
Following Lina through dense bushes, we found a passage just large enough for a person to crawl through.
It would be troublesome if we were discovered by the enemy while passing through here.
“It’s alright. I’ve already checked it several times. This passage isn’t used often.”
The group nodded. If Lina said it was okay, then it was okay.
One by one, they started entering the hole, starting with Lina. Natasha followed.
Then Victoria went in, but she suddenly turned around and grinned.
I understood the meaning of that grin as soon as I entered the passage.
Victoria’s ample buttocks greeted me head-on. This wasn’t a joke.
It had been a while since I’d caressed Victoria’s voluptuous backside.
I had rejected Victoria’s suggestive signals last time. She had been unusually sulky then.
Was this revenge?
Victoria’s buttocks suddenly reversed. Her vagina pressed directly against Kerry’s face.
Startled, Kerry tried to remain calm. But Victoria, frustrated, even rubbed her vagina against his face.
This sex-addicted woman!
“Hngh!”
She even made a sound!
Worried voices came faintly from ahead.
“What’s wrong, Victoria?”
“…It’s nothing. I just scraped my knee on a sharp rock. Don’t worry.”
Only then did the halted group start moving forward again. Kerry assumed Victoria would stop her teasing and move forward as well.
But Victoria remained motionless, her vagina pressed against Kerry’s nose.
Kerry finally understood.
Victoria wasn’t moving until he appeased her.
This lewd woman!
To be subjected to this was an insult to his manhood.
He’d make her regret blocking his way. Kerry began to channel mana into the Arachne’s Ring he was wearing.
Simultaneously, dozens of thin, invisible mana threads began to emerge from the ring.
If she thought he couldn’t do anything here, she was sorely mistaken!
Kerry had been training to use Arachne’s Ring at any moment.
The mana threads began to wrap around Victoria’s body.
The thin threads easily slipped through the small gaps in Victoria’s armor.
They sought out bare skin and began to penetrate deeply.
Victoria felt the threads against her skin.
‘Suddenly, these strange threads are wrapping around my body…N-Not there! It’s sensitive!’
The threads found their way to Victoria’s vagina and entered.
Not just her vagina. They burrowed into her breasts, kneading and fondling as if Kerry himself were doing it.
‘Hngh! This feels like when Kerry touches me…!’
Victoria looked back. She saw Kerry smiling slyly.
He was definitely up to something.
“Hah…”
The mysterious threads were already invading her vagina.
A mana thread rubbed against her clitoris, penetrated her vagina, and then suddenly expanded inside, like a dildo.
Victoria whispered, careful not to be heard by the others who had crawled ahead.
“Ke…Kerry. What are you doing? Hngh…S-Stop it. I’ll apologize for teasing you…”
“Let’s hurry up and move forward. The others might turn around.”
“You…You’re going too far…We have a battle ahead of us…”
“Who started the teasing? This is your punishment. I won’t release you until we’re out of the passage.”
“That’s…!”
Just then, Lina asked worriedly,
“Is there a problem back there?”
“N-Nothing. I’ll catch up soon.”
Victoria, ultimately unable to do anything, crawled forward.
Even then, the invisible threads continued to tease her body.
Kerry was amazed by the effect of Arachne’s Ring.
Wow. This feels like I’m touching her directly.
Kerry’s exceptional talent allowed him to experience the sensation of direct touch even through the mana threads.
Victoria’s large buttocks wiggled before his eyes.
He didn’t stop with the mana threads. Kerry, as Victoria had wished, gently caressed her vagina with his hand.
Victoria shuddered.
Her panties were now soaked with her fluids. Kerry could feel it even through the mana threads.
Dangerous. He needed to stop here.
If he made Victoria any wetter, the party might fall into chaos before the battle even began.
The seemingly long passage was finally nearing its end. He heard Victoria sigh in relief.
Flushed, she finally emerged from the passage.
Simultaneously, Kerry withdrew the mana threads.
And to calm his now-enlarged penis, he diligently sang the national anthem. Shrink, little buddy, shrink!
“Everyone’s out.”
Lina helped Kerry to his feet.
“From here on out is crucial. I know the way. Just follow me.”
The inside of the abandoned mine was filled with a musty, unpleasant odor. The group endured the foul air as they ran forward.
They couldn’t even use any light.
They simply followed Lina, relying on their eyes accustomed to the darkness, their hands brushing against the walls.
At the end of the dark, vast passage, a faint light appeared.
Horrible sounds also reached their ears.
The sounds of human screams and the clash of heavy metal.
Lina looked back at the group and spoke cautiously.
“They’re up ahead. Once we confirm the Headmaster and Barickmeteo’s presence, we’ll immediately request backup from the Magic Tower.”
The plan was as follows:
To capture someone of the Headmaster’s stature, a surprise raid was their only option.
Once Lina’s group infiltrated and confirmed the Headmaster’s presence, they’d request backup from the Magic Tower, which was on standby.
Of course, all of this was possible because the Sage trusted Kerry as his brother.
Lina stealthily moved, avoiding the faint light within the mine. Her movements were so silent that even though they were watching, they couldn’t hear a sound. As expected of Lina.
Lina peered into the illuminated interior and then bit her lip. It was obvious what was happening.
Something inhumane was taking place inside.
Lina scanned the area and then fixed her gaze on a single spot. She then signaled to Kerry. The Headmaster was there.
Hidden, Kerry used the magical tool he had received from the Sage to send a signal.
Lina slowly returned to her position, her expression grim. She must have seen something truly awful.
“I’ve contacted the Sage. The Magic Tower mages should be arriving soon.”
“Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Kerry. Now, what we have to do is…”
Natasha continued Lina’s sentence.
“Prevent those bastards from escaping.”
Victoria nodded. Kerry nodded as well.
While he had no intention of risking his life for justice like them, he couldn’t ignore the cruelty of what they’d witnessed.
“…What was inside, Lina?”
He’d see it when the fight started, but Kerry asked Lina to prepare himself mentally.
With a heavy expression, Lina began to speak. As expected, it was so gruesome that hearing it beforehand wouldn’t have made a difference.
