Black Iron Magician Chapter 79

After telling Nell and Chinatsu that we will be leaving tomorrow, we went home. I train with Haru as usual, eat with Hull as usual, and go to bed with Haru as usual.

「Good night~」

「Yeah, night. We are going to run tomorrow.」

「Bring it on! I also won't miss running in the morning!」

Ahh, I guess this is how ordinary life feels like. As a pacifist, this kind of relaxed life suits me. Now, I'm going to bed early, getting up early, and working hard tomorrow.

「Goshujin-sama, what's the meaning of this!?」

When I lay down on the bed and was about to close my eyes, Lily appeared in my vision. She appeared from the pillow side, so she was upside down and close. She's not dressed in a maid's uniform, but in an outfit that's somewhat lewd. I gave her some pocket money, but I hope that she didn't spend all her money on something like that…

「You were quiet a while ago, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?」

「Yawn~… What's wrong…?」

Haru, who was half asleep, also woke up. For the time being, I'm taking home this good-for-nothing maid. I was on guard thinking that she would cause trouble, but nothing happened at dinner or bath time, so I was completely careless when I went to bed. Still, why at this timing…?

「Don't 'what's wrong' me! Even though I seduced you that much, why did you refuse my invitation but invite my junior Haru-chan to bed!? This is discrimination!」

「You are wrong, Lily. It's not discrimination but distinction. There's no indecent meaning in sleeping with Haru like this, everything is directly linked to training. On the other hand, your invitation has only indecent purposes. You start with indecent things and end with indecent things. That's who you are.」

「H-How mean! Everything you said is true, but you don't have to say it that far! This is the nature of succubus!」

Your aim is completely something like that. By the way, the man who did such a thing with a succubus withered with a good probability for various reasons, and in the worst case, he died. In other words, she's telling me to die. Far from being a good-for-nothing maid, she is an assassin who carries death. Especially, Lily is a special succubus, so her power is tremendous. I'm not ready to die yet.

「It's true that Haru-chan is cute, her food is delicious, her cooking and laundry are perfect, and she is a maid who surpasses me in everything that I want her to be my little sister. I don't have standing as a senior. But, but! This is the only thing I'm confident that I won't lose! And that is――」

「Stop, don't go any further.」

That was dangerous. Lily always blurt out about succubus things without hesitation when there are no people around. It's not good for Haru's education, and if Chinatsu were here, she would blush. If Nell were here, there would be destruction.

「Uuhh, I will tell Nell…!」

「I've already received Nell's permission.」

「No way!?」

「I'll say it again, this is a way to improve the Pleasant Sleep skill efficiently. There's no other meaning. Just go to sleep now. The dream world is your world.」

「That's right… The skin is warm and comfortable, and I can sleep well… Zzz…」

「Comfortable and sleep well…!? Gulp.」

Don't swallow your saliva as if hinting something. Well, if she doesn't turn on the weird switch, she's not troublesome like this. I guess that it's the characteristic of her race that she's energetic at this hour?

「In the first place, my bed isn't prepared! That's why I have to sleep in the same bed as Goshujin-sama! Yeah, that's the only way!」

「I lent you the sofa in the living room as a bed, didn't I? If you want, you can use the bed in Haru's room.」

「…… Succubus is a creature that dies when lonely.」

「Don't worry. I'll collect your corpse. Well then, night.」

「Eh? H-Hey? Are you really going to sleep without doing anything? Wow, I can't believe it…」

Shut up. If I make a mistake and put my hands on you, as a henpecked husband, I will have no life. Sleeping together with Haru like this is a miracle. If I put Lily in, it definitely won't end as a misunderstanding. Who the hell would step on such an obvious land mine?

「You chicken.」

If you hear the footsteps of the Massacre Princess who shakes the world, anyone will chicken out. I have no intention of destroying this country yet.

By the way, you have to give magic power periodically to the summoned monster to maintain the contract. But in her case, I don't need to since she takes magic power on her own from somewhere. The method is simple. Succubus has the ability to go into people's dreams. In a dream, you are defenseless, so they can do whatever they want to you unless you have a very strong mind. They can take the magic power as they please. It's a kind of illusion that tampers with dreams, and since nothing is done to you in reality, there's almost no chance of death with this method. The perpetrator, the succubus, won't be satisfied, but the person whose dream is being tampered with will wake up and feel as if the dream was reality. Therefore, even after waking up from the dream, he cannot tell whether the dream was an illusion or a reality.

「So lonely~」

This unique power of succubus is very effective, and if handled properly, the succubus can make you reveal information in a dream where you are defenseless, or grasping your weakness that you can't tell others. And that's exactly the main task I'm giving to her――

「Give me my reward~」

I told you, I will die. She doesn't seem to be going to sleep, so I force her to sleep with a strong shot of magic. I move her to the sofa in the living room and cover her with a blanket… Yes, it's done!

「Fuhehe… Goshujin-sama, you're finally ready to…」

In addition, I chant Refresh to calm her down. Refresh Refresh―― Still, this looks bad. Lily is

Lily is stubborn, so even if she collects magic powers in the dream, her desire won't be satisfied with anyone other than me. It's okay as long as she's rational, but I can't say that she won't eventually lose her restraint and go berserk. I want to think of it as a reaction of seeing me after a long time, but it's just wishful thinking. That said, I don't want to die yet. If by any chance I didn't die, I will be killed by Nell. Fumu, a tiger at the front gate and a wolf at the back gate, huh. If both of them are mishandled, it will be a crisis for the country, and for me too.

「… Let's sleep.」

It's no use thinking about it at this hour. I've been trying to sleep for a while now. It's okay, I'm sure tomorrow I'll come up with some good ideas. After all, I'm the fire extinguisher Deris! Do your best, tomorrow's me!

「Unii~…」

When I returned to bed, Haru was sound asleep as expected.

―――― The 14th day of training is over.
