Chapter 25 : The Villainess’s Harem Club (3)

She was breathing heavily, probably because she was tired, and her voice sounded a bit like a moan, which was pleasant to hear.

“Haa, haa… So, what exactly are you planning to request in exchange for accepting the duel?”

“I’m going to bring Ruby-senpai to our harem club.”

If someone else had requested the club duel, I wouldn’t have cared if I was branded a coward.

But, as soon as I saw Ruby-senpai, a brilliant idea popped into my head.

Namely, the fact that if I win the duel, I can bring Ruby-senpai to our club.

Clea, who had been staring at me as I smiled slyly, said something.

“Couldn’t you have just requested Ruby-senpai as the condition?”

That’s right.

When requesting one thing from the club that requested the duel, I could have just asked for Ruby-senpai. However, Clea overlooked one fact.

As I stared at Clea, she asked why I was looking at her like that and if she had said something wrong.

“So, what’s the real reason?”

“To make it more delicious.”

It’s not tasty if you just eat it. Even rice tastes better when you’re hungry.

She looked at me with an absurd gaze at my words.

“We have to go through all this trouble for a reason like that!?”

“Thanks to that, your magic skills are improving rapidly, aren’t they?”

“…….”

It was the truth, so Clea looked at me with an even more frustrated expression, and I approached her and hugged her, which made her flustered.

“W-Wait a minute!? I’m sweaty and smelly right now! Get off me!”

That’s what’s good about it, but if I said that here, it would ruin the mood.

I do learn.

Without saying anything, I just hugged Clea, and she finally gave up resisting and patted me.

“Seriously, you don’t do this to just anyone, right?”

“Of course not. I only do this to my girls.”

“Who’s your girl!?”

As I patted the struggling Clea, I felt a gaze.

I turned my head to look to the side, and Eve and Lucy were staring at me. Eve had her usual expressionless face, and Lucy looked envious.

Even though I look like this, I’m very perceptive, so I can’t just stay still.

I stroked Clea’s hair one last time, then got up and approached Lucy, and she looked up at me.

She was holding her hands to her chest and looking at me with an expectant expression, which was so cute that I immediately hugged her, and she trembled like a rabbit.

She remembered something and said in a very small voice.

“Aria-nim, I’m sweaty, so, um, that….”

“It’s okay.”

It’s even better, you know?

After hugging Eve as well, we headed back to the dormitory.

During the training, I saw their disheveled appearances. I also got to see the color of their underwear, and I hugged them while they were sweaty, enjoying their scent and aroma.

In addition to that, I had the best day of my life, even seeing Ruby-senpai’s black underwear, so maybe that’s why the stars in the sky looked especially beautiful today.

Back at the dormitory, Eve and Lucy immediately prepared for a bath.

While waiting for them on the sofa, I thought about their training curriculum, and when they were ready, they called me, and I went into the bathroom to see them waiting.

Wearing only a single towel around their bodies.

Is this heaven…?

“I’ll help you.”

“I’ll help you too!”

Eve and Lucy, who were unusually proactive today, helped me bathe, and when I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom, a bathtub with steam rising from it was ready.

Before entering, they said they would wash my hair and body, so I sat on a small chair and they poured warm water on me.

“Is the water temperature okay?”

“It’s perfect.”

After finishing shampooing and soaping, I entered the bathtub, and the warmth enveloped my whole body.

In addition to that, there was a sweet scent that tickled my nose.

“Did you use a different bath salt than usual today?”

“I used one that’s good for fatigue.”

And they clung to my side.

They’re suspicious today. Are they seducing me?

As I wrapped my arms around their slender waists on both sides, they showed a different reaction than usual.

I was about to lose it, staring at them as they were nestled in my arms without saying anything.

Should I just pounce? Just as I was thinking that, they looked at me intently.

“The service ends here.”

“I-I’m too embarrassed to do more!”

With those words, Lucy ran away, and Eve helped me finish.

What is this…?

When I demanded an explanation, they said it was a reward for helping them with training all day today.

Then, since today is the first day, there are still six more days left.

Can I expect this kind of service tomorrow too?

I went out to the living room in my pajamas, and Lucy, who had gone out first, was waiting with strawberry juice.

After finishing a glass, I was about to head to my room when I asked them if we could sleep together today, but they refused.

“I want to sleep alone tonight.”

“I’m too tired today, and I’m worried I’ll make a mistake, so I can’t. I’m sorry.”

Eve and Lucy politely bowed their heads and entered their rooms.

Feeling dejected at the thought of spending a lonely night, I entered my room, and I sensed a presence on the bed.

Thinking it was an assassin, I was about to cast a spell when I heard a voice.

“Yahoo! You’re here?”

“Tower Lord-nim…?”

A girl with long black hair and red eyes that glowed red.

The Tower Lord of the Golden Magic Tower and a 10th-circle Archmage.

Serene Ignis was lying on my bed in my room.

“When did you come in without saying anything?”

“The window was big, so it was easy to get in? It’ll be easy to get out too.”

She looked up at me with a grin, and I approached her and smiled brightly, and she smiled back.

Does she not understand the situation yet?

“Who said you could lie on my bed without permission?”

“Huh? Do I need permission? Why? I’m the Tower Lord?”

Thinking that words wouldn’t work, I cast a barrier in the room to prevent sound from leaking out, finished soundproofing, and levitated her into the air.

“W-Wait a minute!? What are you trying to do!?”

“Children who don’t listen need to be punished, right?”

“Who are you calling a child!? I’m older than you!”

I let her words go in one ear and out the other, made her lie on her stomach, and pulled down her pants.

Of course, her underwear too.

“W-Wait a minute!? Let’s talk! Please! I beg you!”

“We can talk later.”

And the palm that struck down left a handprint on her soft buttocks.

“It hurts! It hurts!”

Once, twice, I struck her, and she finally burst into tears and begged for forgiveness. The Tower Lord.

But, she can fool others, but she can’t fool me.

“Why are you acting?”

“…”

At my words, she, who had been crying until just now, stopped crying and looked at me.

Her pupils were shaking, along with a look that asked how I knew.

I wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered in her ear.

“If you lie, you have to be punished, right?”

“Y-Yes…”

After finishing the punishment, I helped her up, who was disheveled, and asked her why she came at this hour, and she said she came because she was bored.

“You came to someone else’s bedroom without permission for such a reason?”

“I’m sorry! I’ll contact you before I come next time, so don’t hate me!”

I hugged the Tower Lord, who was genuinely trembling, and whispered that I didn’t hate her.

“I don’t hate you. So, from now on, before you do anything, tell me in advance.”

“Hmph, then it won’t be fun….”

I stared at her intently, and she reluctantly said okay.

“So, what’s the real reason you came?”

“I came to give you this as a gift.”

She took something out of subspace and handed it to me, and I couldn’t help but be surprised when I checked the item.

“This is a high-grade magic stone…?”

“That’s right! It’s hard to get because it’s managed by the magic tower, but I brought it because I was thinking of our Aria!”

You can get ordinary magic stones by hunting monsters, but you can’t get high-grade magic stones.

This is because high-grade magic stones require processing magic stones, which is only possible in the magic tower.

So, getting one is like picking a star from the sky. I thought I might have to rob the magic tower later if I needed one, but I didn’t expect it to come into my hands like this.

Would I be materialistic if the Tower Lord suddenly looked pretty?

The Tower Lord was looking at me and shining her eyes, asking me to praise her quickly, and I stroked her head, and she was delighted.

She’s older than me, but she acts like a child who didn’t receive affection in her childhood.

She’s an older woman, but she has the charm of a younger woman.

“Then, can you get more of these?”

“Of course! I may look like this, but I’m the Tower Lord, so I can easily get that much!”

Oh? Is that so?

If I have this, I can scrap the existing plan and teach our club members in a different way.

It might be a little painful, but that would be pretty too, right?

Just imagining it makes my mouth water…

“Aria, you’re drooling.”

“Hmph!”
