Chapter 283 Exorcism of Peta Sieri (8)

AA pushed my hand away and spoke.

"Sir Priest. Now, um...... you promised, didn't you? That you wouldn't do this anymore."

Her face was flushed red. Grinning, I tried to wrap my hand around her waist once more. When AA subtly dodged, I spoke with disappointment.

"Sir Hero. You enjoyed it too, didn't you?"

".....No, I didn't."

Calmly lowering her voice, AA turned her head slightly. She rubbed her legs together a little, distanced herself from me, and let out a deep sigh. I got an erection at the sound of her breath. It felt as though I could ejaculate right now if AA just touched my cock. AA spoke.

"It didn't...... feel good."

"You're lying, Sir Hero."

We spoke as we walked down the corridor. Strongly shaking her head at my words, AA spoke again.

"That's......!"

"So, you're saying it really didn't feel good? Being a man myself, hearing things like that hurts my pride a bit."

AA mumbled at those words and avoided giving an answer. Being terrible at lying was something Erina and AA had in common. If AA had a purely innocent feel, Erina felt stupidly sly. I spoke to AA.

"Princess Erina said it felt so much better with me, though."

"What? Sir Priest. You, you promised, didn't you?"

Grabbing my wrist, AA pressed me. I could see tension tightening between her eyebrows. An aura warning me to answer carefully was creeping up. Turning my head, I spoke.

"Sir Hero. It's not like I can avoid going to Ahildern for the rest of my life. When I go to Ahildern, I'll inevitably meet the Princess face-to-face, so what if the Princess seduces me there?"

"......That would never happen."

"Care to make a bet?"

AA flinched. Staring at me, she shook her head and spoke again.

"No. I am not someone who tests my woman. Sir Priest. Let's leave this conversation here. We're comrades, aren't we? We've never slept together, and Erina has only ever looked at me. That's all there is to it."

"You really trust Princess Erina."

"......Of course."

AA's complexion dimmed. She couldn't lie. She wasn't doubting, but rather certain of it. Erina was already a cock slave to me. Whatever conditions were set, I was confident I'd win the wager. I spoke.

"Sir Hero. You lack confidence, don't you?"

"Lack confidence...... Please stop speaking like that. I've always...... Erina......"

"Then let's make a bet. I won't do anything. I made a promise, after all. In exchange for spending a week's nights with you, Sir Hero, I promised not to touch Princess Erina anymore. So, when I go to Ahildern this time, I won't lay a single finger on Princess Erina. That means you won't need to test Princess Erina, Sir Hero."

"Then, how does the bet even work?"

AA asked. Smiling at her, I spoke.

"The mana recharge period for the Carriage of Alio Festa is ten days, right? As it happens, I have business in Ahildern this time. While staying at Ahildern Palace, if Princess Erina seduces me even once during those ten days, it's my victory. If Princess Erina ignores me and looks only at you, Sir Hero, then it's your victory. How about it?"

AA's eyes wavered. As long as she was a man, she couldn't help but be attached to her woman. Thinking that taking this opportunity would let her reclaim Erina completely was bound to cloud her judgment.

"Ah, um......"

"What will you do? I truly intend to give Princess Erina only the bare minimum of greetings and do nothing else."

In any case, I had to go to Ahildern. I needed to ask how to bring Mimir out, and I also had to coordinate stories with Salina to fabricate an excuse allowing me to leave for a few days. But while I was at it, I also wanted to definitively make AA my woman.

I was confident. Erina was a bitch with both a loose mouth and a loose cunt, so even if I just muttered 'cunt,' she would flop down like a dog suffering from heatstroke in midsummer, spread her legs wide, and heave rough breaths. Just as an automatic door required no manipulation to open, fucking Erina no longer required any words.

"If I, if I win, what will you do?"

AA spoke. I answered her.

"I'll completely forget everything that has happened until now. We'll truly go back to being friends."

"....And if I lose?"

"Become my woman."

At those words, AA bit her lip. She seemed a little startled as well. Turning her head away, she spoke.

"I'm a man."

"You know it already. There's no method to return to being a man. You've already given up on dragons and Mimir, haven't you?"

"We're comrades."

"Then all you have to do is win. This is my greed, Sir Hero. But you've always been greedy with me too, haven't you? It's obvious who Princess Erina's heart is pointed toward, yet you're telling me to give that heart back to you, aren't you?"

"Ah......"

AA wore a somber expression at those words. Wrapping my arm around her waist once more, I spoke.

"Sir Hero. I'm confident I won't hurt you. If you become my wife, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."

".....I don't want to."

"Then it can't be helped."

As if disappointed, I pulled my hand away from AA's waist. With a somewhat gloomy expression, AA stared down at the corridor floor. Opening my mouth again, I asked.

"Are you really not going to take the bet? My going to Ahildern this time is for official duties. This is your last chance."

It was a bet with no reason to refuse. The conditions were simply far too favorable for AA. If she truly trusted Erina, there was no reason to decline. I wouldn't lay a hand on Erina first, nor would I bring up having sex. In that state, if Erina didn't seduce me for ten days, it was AA's victory. If she seduced me, it was my victory.

"I......"

AA's expression was wavering. A fissure was forming on the face that hadn't wavered when fighting Cutlass, nor right before charging into the Demon King's Castle. A faint wetness welled in her pupils, and her face flushed slightly red.

"Sir Hero?"

"......Really, you'll really forget everything if I win this time, right? We can become friends again, right? Sir Priest. I remember the priest who was kind and gentle to me when we fought the Demon King. You'll really go back to how you were then, right?"

She grasped my hand and asked. Her shimmering eyes were so beautiful. Nodding my head, I spoke.

"Of course. Then are you taking the bet?"

".....Yes. Because I believe in Erina."

I believed in Erina too. While AA believed in her out of love for Erina, my certainty was founded on inference and rational logic. If by any chance it didn't work out, all I had to do was tell Salina. AA had no idea that I was fucking Salina as well, after all.

"Oh, Sir Hero. There's one condition needed, though?"

"A condition?"

At the mention of a condition, AA's face contorted noticeably. She seemed to think I was suddenly going back on my word.

"If Erina calls for me or tries to speak to me when you and I are in the same place, Sir Hero, I'd like you to step aside. Even so, there's no way she would openly seduce me right in front of you, Sir Hero, right?"

"Understood. Erina wouldn't...... um, fall for something like that anyway."

Grinning, I massaged her shoulders. After spending a day or two handling necessary matters here, I planned to head to Ahildern with AA. Parting ways with AA, I hurried over to Sieri. Sieri was in the middle of changing clothes. Her tail flowing down past her tailbone over her panties and the dainty wings perched on her shoulder blades were fully visible. Startled by me suddenly opening the door, Sieri spoke.

"L-Lucius......! P-Please knock on the door......"

"Sieri. I came back from signing the treaty document today."

"Ah......"

At those words, Sieri bit her lip slightly and threw herself into my embrace while covering her breasts. Caressing Sieri's horns, I kissed her. Intertwining our tongues and squeezing her breasts tightly, I laid her down onto the bed. Worried that her dress might get ruined, Sieri slightly raised her buttocks as she pulled the hem out with her hand.

In the opening created by her raised buttocks, I stripped off her panties and gently began caressing her tail and nipples.

"Haa......"

Concurrently with Sieri letting out a moaning sound, her cunt was becoming dripping wet. Pushing my genitals deep inside Sieri's body, I spoke.

"Sieri. Do you want to return to your human form?"

"Haeut...... Haa...... Yes......"

Every time our flesh crossed and rubbed against each other, Sieri's hands fluttered aimlessly as if flailing in water. Interlocking my fingers with her splayed ones, I pressed my hips down and nibbled her ear.

"Ah...... Ah......"

"Sieri. My wife living in the Dragon Mountains is an exceptional mage. A dragon. You know of her, right?"

"Ah, yes...... I heard before."

"If we ask her for help, you might be able to return to your human form."

"Haa...... Such a...... Ah...... But...... if you do that......"

"Sieri. I'm trying to do this for you because you look uncomfortable. You can't sleep properly, and daily life is uncomfortable because of the horns, isn't it?"

"Still......"

With a flushed red face, Sieri exhaled. She cautiously hugged my back with her palms and tickled my thighs with her tail.

"Still...... Lucius, you...... like me looking like this......"

".......We can just make it possible to toggle on and off."

Since Ati was a great mage, it would be possible. Rather than taking Eve along directly, it seemed better to just broach the topic of Eve's infertility treatment first once I got there. Because if we went and Ati flatly said it was impossible, she would be hurt.

"Then...... In that case...... Haa...... All right...... Ah......"

"She's a dragon, won't you be scared?"

"I'm okay...... Ah......"

The night deepened. Sweltering heat swirled wildly. A rough plan was taking shape inside my head. First, go to Ahildern and fuck AA, take Sieri to Ati to receive simple treatment, report the story regarding Mimir, and ask if Eve's infertility treatment is possible. Since I didn't know when Salina could make time, she had to be put off until later.

"Hoo......"

"Haeut...... Heu...... W-Why are you like that? Lucius...... Ah......"

Even thinking it over again, it was a truly perfect plan. This was what made a model husband, surely.
