Chapter 153: Date And Encounter
She wanted to stimulate that tendency to its limit. And she understood how to provoke it quite well.
By using Elizabeth's clothes, she made a mockery of me. Challenging and attacking my male pride to make me ravage them more roughly.
She was lucky to find Anna masturbating in the corridor, but she used her luck extremely well.
Due to Anna's status and the way I react to her body, I feel extremely comfortable with going as hard as I want, which ended up extending to Cassandra too.
Another good thing is that Anna is able to keep up with me, so Cassandra could use her to get her breaks whenever she needed, effectively ensuring that the night would never end.
All of her dirty words and provocations.
Cosplaying as Elizabeth, a woman who has no sexual desire or romantic feelings toward me.
Bringing out ears and a tail to cosplay as Mia.
The two girls who I cannot take for myself whenever I want.
It was all done to entice me into my most basic male instincts. As long as she invoked the images of the things I had not taken for myself, the desire to conquer was bound to come out, and it would all be directed at her.
A cunning scheme. Well prepared too considering the short amount of time she had.
I already knew she had a lot of wisdom, but to see it used like that for sex was not something I expected.
It was really pleasant though.
I usually try to be gentle with the girls, and although for most of them, it ends up with me surrendering to the carnal desires as we go through the night, we tend to reach a balance between love and lust by the end of it.
As such, going at it as hard as possible from the start was surprisingly refreshing.
Since the two sex addicts ended up enjoying it a lot too, it was pretty much the best night they could uniquely offer me.
Miwen: "You're satisfied now, right?"
Cassandra: "Nhn... I can last the day... But I think I'd like a reward for my efforts~"
Anna: "I thought you said this was our reward for today's plan?"
Cassandra: "Shhh..."
We have a demon in the Kingdom. One filled with immeasurable pride.
She's unmistakably... the second most sinful woman around.
Cassandra makes Elizabeth look more like an angel than Angelica.
In less than a second she showed greed and lust, all while also exposing her puppeteering and manipulation of my and Anna's desires.
Miwen: "If you do well today... I'll play with you all you want whenever I have time. But for now... Liz is soon to return. I need her to rest until night comes. I'll also bring Mei to the Kingdom since she kept watch today.
Can you look after them ?"
Cassandra: "Sure thing~ I need to give back her uniform too."
It was not in a presentable state, but she had no intention of washing it.
This could be seen as malicious but... I kind of get Cassandra's reasoning.
It's not good by any means, but it's coming from a place of ill intent toward Elizabeth either. It's not a grudge against demons like Gabriella shows.
No... it's just that... they were born to be enemies.
They are direct opposites.
Elizabeth lacks, hides, or blocks all the desires that Cassandra openly accepts, shows, and embraces.
They couldn't behave more differently, and yet...
They share one thing in common, to Elizabeth's dismay.
Both are extremely hard to tease.
Although in completely different manners, they are incredibly resistant to shame,
Well, the blame falls on the demon on this one.
Cassandra seems to really like to poke and provoke others. She even does this with Angelica, who she seems to be really fond of.
However, more and more we've come to understand that this is just her way of being friendly.
She clearly enjoys the honest reactions that others show her when she does these things, and she doesn't really go too far with it.
If anything, it provokes us into exposing our feelings and thoughts, which she always accepts, and sometimes, she shares a piece of advice too. It makes one wonder if she's doing it on purpose.
She's been able to bond fairly well with the girls in this manner. Especially with Angelica who hides herself a lot. By now, she's basically her second voice, as her provocations are the most efficient method to make Angelica share what is on her mind.
However, when it comes to Elizabeth, she ends up having to go the extra mile. Which leads to the more serious provocations.
Since Elizabeth sees through her, we have this cat-and-mouse game where neither relents to the other.
Although, unexpectedly, like it's happening with Angelica, they seem to be forming quite a strong relationship as they come to understand each other better, even if only to fight back more efficiently against one another.
Thanks to that, I know that I can safely trust Liz to Cass. She might say a few dumb things, but their friendship only seems to bloom more with the time they spend together, so surprisingly, she's one of the most suitable for this task.
Her sharp tongue and direct nature work wonders to shut others down.
She also has experience watching and protecting people in their sleep, and since Elizabeth will be at her most vulnerable, I hope she'll be able to deal with the much more saintly, but also much more troublesome one.
As for me...
After two long... looong nights.
I was finally going to have the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing day, as Licia and Claire asked if I could spare some time for just the three of us.
Inside my home on Earth, Licia was preparing breakfast. I greeted her with a kiss on her cheek, and since she was doing something pretty light, it didn't seem like she needed my help at all, so I sat on the sofa by Claire's side and cuddled a bit with her as we watched the news.
Liz got a lot of screen time, but it wasn't that surreal to see her on TV. I had seen my parents a few times on the screen before, be it in interviews, or appearances in vlogs and guides.
Seeing her fight at her fullest without holding back was interesting though.
The sky really did make a difference for her. And so did access to the sea...
Claire: "Seems like a commander. She's been fighting her for half an hour already..."
Yet, even though she was showing more power than she ever did in the Kingdom, her opponent was still resisting for an abnormal amount of time.
She was a summoner. The magical beasts she was bringing to the battlefield were capable of intercepting and resisting Elizabeth's magic, who had to change the elements of her attacks, combine them, and choose which magic beasts to attack as they each had their own resistance to a certain type of magic.
A very troublesome opponent since they were also capable of attacking, and thus, she had to pay attention to her defense as well.
It was very surprising to see a single person being able to hold back Elizabeth for so long. It was a great feat, and she should definitely be proud of herself, whoever she may be.
As for Elizabeth...
I had told her to flee if she found a difficult opponent, but I judged the Demon Queen's pride poorly.
Even if her opponent was problematic, fleeing from them would mean she had a hard time.
And she couldn't accept that, so she made her magic rain without holding back in an attempt to overwhelm her opponent.
Nothing new for her, but it proved to be as effective as it has always been.
However, she missed the chance to end the fight. A strange move on her part, but also... certainly not one made out of inexperience. Knowing her, the reason for that was almost certainly...
Miwen: "She's not trying to recruit her, right?"
Claire: "That's already the second one."
Licia: "Miwen, can you grab that for me?"
Miwen: "Yep, just a sec."
Since her opponent realized they couldn't hurt her, they also seemed to focus only on buying time and holding her back, which made the battle way safer too.
In the end, if Elizabeth was comfortable enough to do something like this amid battle, there was no reason to worry about her.
I also got a little proud hearing the newscaster comment about the demon that had suddenly appeared and done a tremendous job to relieve the frontlines.
Not only had she kept the enemies at bay, but she also pushed them back quite a lot in a few spots.
In some places, they were forced to return all the way to their world.
Miwen: "So, what are the plans today?"
Licia: "Hm... I'm not telling. If you want to know, Ask Claire she researched and planned a lot."
Claire: "Don't pretend you didn't help..."
I saw Claire using her phone even more than usual. I thought she was focused on her game, but whenever she makes progress in it she makes sure everyone knows about it, so her silence indicated that it was something else.
I would not have expected it to be research though. Even more on such a topic...
Miwen: "Oh... should I expect something extravagant then?"
Claire: "No."
She mustered a lot of strength to deny me, only to get a little embarrassed and then continue...
Claire: "I wanted... something simple... it's my first time on a date so... keep your expectations low..."
One of the most confident girls in the Kingdom, always choosing the flashy and big approach whenever a chance presents itself... was being meek and humble all of a sudden.
I always think it's rather cute how she changes so much when the topic is romance.
Although she has a lot of interest and desires strongly for it, she also realizes that she's a fish out of water on the topic.
She normally only has enough confidence to make meager attempts, but... whenever Licia pulls ahead, she follows suit.
However, she might've not noticed that Licia is actually in the same boat. She also has no idea of what she's doing and just wings it for the most part. The only difference is that she acts cool about it.
Still, thanks to Claire being like this, seeing her take charge, even with Licia's help, told me everything I needed to know. She was really putting a lot of effort into it, so I needed to do my best to meet her expectations.
This is one of the reasons I've been accepting the conditions of the other girls to spend some private time together.
I got them to agree on a few things, but most important of all, that they would give us this space today since Licia and Claire wanted to evoke that cozy feeling we had when it was just the three of us.
It's a bit strange for me.
I feel nostalgic for it too even though it hasn't been so long, and I can totally understand their desire since there's this special feeling that I get when I'm alone with each girl.
The fewer people around, the more intimate it feels, and I think I can understand and connect with them much more strongly in such moments.
It's definitely not the case of me disliking our current situation. My biggest issue with it is actually something as minor as the house feeling cramped.
But even then, it's well worth it since seeing everyone happily getting along brings me a sense of joy and accomplishment that I only get to experience when there's a bunch of us together.
It's more the case of... me being able to appreciate being with one or two girls at a time, as well as being with many of them.
Which might be the reason why Mia mistakenly believes me to a pervert, as I cannot see any other reasoning that would lead her to this conclusion whatsoever.
And well... In summary, I could say that I was looking forward to spending a relaxing day with just the three of us.
And with Elizabeth's return, we were completely prepared to leave the house.
But... the doorbell rang.
Elizabeth had just returned to the Kingdom. All the other girls were there too.
My family was inside a dungeon.
Neither of the two who usually show up unexpectedly, The Traveling Merchant and The First Daughter would bother appearing outside the house, much less ringing the bell.
Roy and Sam wouldn't show up unannounced unless it was an emergency.
The last option was Alex.
Even if he could phase through walls with his Gift, it would be weird for him to do it out of the blue.
So, believing it to be him at the door, I opened It without thinking much of it.
However, the person who greeted me was...
??????: "Hello? Is Maya home?"
Not someone I was prepared to meet this early.
