I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

'But...the mission is a bit too difficult. A demonic conspiracy? How would I know about that?'

'Perhaps Wiz knows something? Her background seems unusual; perhaps she knows some inside information.'

'Looks like I need to find something to do... I need to find a way to get involved in the fight between humans and demons and get a high position, so it'll be easier to gather information.'

Fingel frowned deeply as he began to think about what to do next. He could give up any reward, but the otherworld journey ticket was an indispensable part of it.

But... the system actually asked me to romance a female character. Is she some kind of lewd character?

Sato Kazuma sounds like he's the male lead, so the female characters must be pretty good, right?

'I'm so... so tempted!'

Fingel's expression grew even more serious, like the endless Wall of A Song of Ice and Fire.

He's being a bit of a hypocrite—but I doubt Kazuma Sato cares. After all, the ladies who will become Fingal's wives don't know him yet. When it comes to feelings, it's best to strike first!

And...

Fingel believes that if Kazuma Sato knew he could exchange Aqua for money, he would definitely do so without hesitation.

"Um... Mr. Fingel? Um... could you let go of me? I really know I was wrong, you were squeezing really hard, so could you please let go?"

Feeling a chill run down her spine from Fingel's ever-changing expressions, Aqua couldn't help but warn him—"That's more terrifying than a human expression; someone who doesn't know better might think he's about to kill someone."

"Oh? Sorry, sorry, I forgot."

Fingel hesitated for a moment, then put on a bright smile again.

"I think there must be some small misunderstanding between us. There's no need to make a big fuss like this. In fact, I should thank Lady Aqua in some ways."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to come to this other world, would I?"

?

Is...is that so?

That seems to be the case! I am a goddess, everyone should respect me more and treat me better!

Upon realizing this, Aqua immediately felt justified.

"Hahaha! You're right! You should really thank me. If it weren't for me, you definitely wouldn't have been able to reincarnate!"

...

What an idiotic goddess.

"Ah, right, right."

Fingel chuckled twice and continued speaking.

"To express my apology, I will pay for any expenses that Aqua-sama and Kazuma-sensei incur at the guild today."

! !

"Is anything okay?"

Aqua's eyes lit up, as if she had come up with some wicked idea.

"of course."

Fingel nodded. With so few low-end people in the guild, even if they ate them to death, they wouldn't make much money.

However, he soon regretted it.

...

after an hour.

"Mr. Kazuma Sato," Fingel said, his face grim as he looked at the scene before him, "while I did say I'd cover today's expenses, that doesn't mean I'm having you come here to buy supplies, does it?"

A table was piled high with bottles of liquor, and everyone in the guild looked at the gleeful Aqua with strange expressions—could she really finish all this? They really didn't understand; if she had to buy it, why didn't she buy it from an outside supplier instead of buying it from the guild where prices were higher?

It's puzzling.

"Hey, Mr. Kazuma Sato, what are your thoughts?"

Fingel looked at the boy beside him, who was bowing his head and not daring to speak, and couldn't help but question him:

"...the kingdom of Nasai was destroyed."

Looking at Aqua, who had bought dozens of bottles of the guild's best-selling alcohol, Kazuma Sato was speechless, feeling extremely embarrassed, his face burning with shame.

He didn't need to think to guess Aqua's thoughts; this stupid goddess definitely wanted to buy a bunch of wine from Fingel and then sell it cheaply to make money.

"Hehe, hehe, it's okay."

Fingel clenched his fist, hardening it! Hardening it!

It's not that I'm short of money; this amount of ale is only worth a million erys at most... but this feeling is really unpleasant!

'Damn bitch...'

'One day I'll pin you down on the bed and fuck you senseless.'

'No one can stop them, not even Aura!'

The elated Aqua was unaware that fate's gift had already come with a hidden price.

...................................

[131 years since Fingel disappeared]

Inside the royal palace, the newly established ruler of the Kingdom of Frisch, the great demon Aura, tossed and turned in bed.

"Damn it... Ugh~!"

Aura lay on the soft bed, her face flushed, one hand gently exploring her body, enjoying the pleasure.

At the same time, she gently bit the shirt someone had left behind in her mouth, breathing deeply while enjoying the pleasure, as if savoring the taste he left behind.

She was missing it, she was reminiscing about being roughly pinned to the bed by Fingel, kissing her neck, biting her earlobe, and that wicked temptation that even demons could feel burning with lust for.

"Damn it~ Damn it~!"

"Where the hell did he go? Damn it..."

"It seems... I can still smell his scent!"

Finally, after a burst of intense sexual activity and soft moans, everything returned to calm.

The maids waiting outside the door were also blushing.

What am I doing?

After that, Aura lay on the big bed and asked a profound question: How did I become like this?

They go into heat like humans, just like a male baboon.

"What is that bastard doing now?"

Aura thought to himself.

Although Aura was very unwilling afterwards, she still obediently learned the magic of preserving clothes, which she considered useless, so that she could silently chant water magic in the future.

Author's Note: Damn, I'm having a bit of writer's block.

I had some inspiration for a story this morning, but unfortunately I didn't have a suitable plot entry point.

Chapter 19

　...................................

[131 years since Fingel disappeared]

That's all.

Very cool.

"But it feels... a little insufficient."

About half an hour later, Aura, who was being cleaned with the help of a maid, suddenly said this.

"Take out the scabbard I kept in the cabinet."

Although it may be difficult, it's still worth a try.

? ? ? ?

The maids who were helping to wash her looked confused, wondering if they had misunderstood something. After a long while, she finally asked in bewilderment:

"You...what did you say?"

"..."

"Yes! I'll go get it right away!"

Sensing Aura's death stare, the maids fled as fast as they could, each one terrified—although they were treated quite well in the palace, and Aura didn't usually have as many of the tormenting habits as other nobles, this Lord Aura would still kill if he was dissatisfied.

'Gululu.'

After immersing his face in the pool, Aura's face turned bright red again.

'Should we...make a puppet? A doll?'

'It's just the right time to put on my clothes.'

There's nothing we can do. Although Fingel has disappeared, the 'negative influence' he left behind still exists.

Every thirty years or so, Aura would enter her estrus cycle. Unsatisfied, Aura would seek stimulation in various ways, even to the point of being somewhat perverse—she would collect and use all of Fingel's "relics" from his "previous life".

For example, the shirts, shorts, and even underwear that Fingel wore! These were all preserved by her with special magic and used as materials for spellcasting.

That wasn't even enough. Some of Fingel's weapons and boots were collected by Aura. If Fingel hadn't been born without ashes, they might have been used as well—please don't forget, demons basically have no morals.

Although he had acquired some of the characteristics of some people, Aura didn't care about those formalities.

These events naturally have some subtle backstory—for example, these clothes were acquired before Flame disappeared, about a hundred years ago.

"Is it really necessary to go this far...? Aura?"

Flame, whose clothes had been taken from Fingel, spoke in a complicated tone, her feelings for Aura reaching an inexplicable level.

"This is none of your business."

Aura snorted coldly and left with his puppet soldiers.

"Why....."

Flame sighed deeply, her fingers unconsciously stroking the ring Fingel had given her before his death.

She couldn't understand how a ruthless demon could turn into this. How did that guy do it?

'Have you been driven crazy?'

'Finger has done a lot of harm.'

Flame, who was over thirty, sighed deeply... Should she do something? It seemed that Fingel could still return to the real world after a thousand years.

The long passage of time almost drove Flame to despair. She was almost destined never to see Fingel again. Her life, which was full of sorrow and determination, had finally been filled with a few moments of joy, but had it all just vanished like that?

Perhaps she had died many years ago. If it weren't for revenge and the beginning of human magic history, Flame would have committed suicide. Living wasn't a good thing for her—her wish was to complete the path of creating the future of human magic and then die of old age.

But... is that really all there is to it?

'Frilian...Fingal...and Master.'

Flame clenched her fists tightly.

What will happen to Frilian if she dies of old age? The child will be lost, and what about her master? Won't she be lonely?

As for Fingel... although he says he wants to mess around with different women, he will still do his best to save his own woman. Doesn't he feel a little sad?

'Probably not? Haha, that jerk.'

Flame didn't know, but she knew she would have many regrets after she died.

She seems to have some unrealistic and taboo ideas.

“Death is inevitable, what are you thinking, Flame?”

Flame couldn't help but chuckle twice, perhaps because she was under too much pressure lately and was momentarily confused.

Should I learn from Aura?

She suddenly realized this and felt a pang of shame for her actions.
