Chapter 20: Private Attribute Lessons (1)
Rattle, rattle.
Carriages in this era generally had a reputation for being uncomfortable, but that only applied to the standard ones.
Wealthy merchants and nobles could afford to coat their carriages with all sorts of magic, like shock absorption and spatial distortion, making them fairly comfortable.
Like the one I was currently riding in.
I shrugged my shoulders while looking at the receding city of Gef through the window.
“See? What did I tell you? We even got a reward on top of everything.”
“Hmm... If you had told me that you’d already done your research, I wouldn’t have worried needlessly.”
Carla replied, brushing her chest as if relieved.
I wondered if game research could count as a preliminary investigation.
The methods of the bandits had not changed, even if some of the details had been lost due to the time difference. They still operated under the teachings of their evil Gods, a habit that the Gods seemed to have, never altering their plans until they had no choice.
Thanks to my knowledge, I was able to string along the captain of the guards, and even got a few expressions of gratitude.
I received a fair amount of gold, which I didn’t really need, and even got a VIP membership card to the auction house.
And being able to borrow this luxurious carriage was another part of the reward.
Such convenient carriages required a lot of time and money to make since they were usually being custom-made.
Up until now, I’d been like a treasure goblin, without the means to make such an extravagant purchase. But this time, the city of Gef lent us this high-class carriage.
Although it was just a rental and must be returned upon arrival at the Academy, it would make our journey comfortable.
Stretching out my legs, I began to hum to myself on this comfortable, steady ride. Meanwhile, Carla suddenly started tapping her chin thoughtfully.
“Come to think of it, we really did have good luck this time.”
She said.
“A bishop was just stopping in Gef for maintenance during a top-secret mission, and right as we were unearthing a hideout, clearing the dungeon, and taking our time getting out, we found a guy putting up a barrier and preparing to teleport...”
Carla looked at me with eyes full of certainty.
“This was all according to your plan, wasn’t it?”
“Really? It was just luck, you know?”
What was she talking about?
Despite my sincere denial, Carla just nodded as if she knew everything.
“Alright, if Master says so, then it must be so. Yes, I’ll never speak of it to anyone. We were just lucky!”
“......”
She was really pushing the narrative of, ‘I understand my master’s intentions well. I’m a considerate slave.’
That wasn’t a lie, though. It was the truth.
My goal was merely to acquire the Radiant Lion’s Dagger, which is convenient to have early on.
Everything that happened related to Pietro was totally unexpected.
Well, she probably wouldn’t believe me even if I told her that.
Carla’s sparkling eyes were making me uncomfortable, so I absentmindedly played with her platinum-blonde hair.
“Hehe...”
She seemed to take that as a compliment, smiling happily.
Honestly, Carla’s misunderstanding wasn’t a bad thing for me.
I was wondering what to do if someone became curious about the source of my game knowledge. I guess I could just continue to imply that it was top secret and should not be leaked.
“Speaking of a secret mission...”
According to the interrogations of the captured Cultists, Pietro was on a mysterious solo mission.
That mission was probably the planned attack on the Academy, but he died before he even got there.
...Wait, what would happen to the planned attack now?
With the leader, Pietro, dead, would the attack just fizzle out?
“Usually, yes. But we’re using cores created by the same breathing method, right? If you don’t reject it, it’s entirely possible.”
I didn’t know that people with the same cores could guide each other’s mana.
In the game, players learned magic on their own and cast spells with a single shortcut key.
Of course, they had to attend classes, train, and study magical books.
Magic-related activities were necessary to learn, but one didn’t need someone else’s help.
Such detailed settings weren’t necessary in the game, so it was a good thing for me.
I had bought and read a few basic magical books for future use, but I couldn’t understand what they were talking about.
I understood that imagination and willpower were important, but I didn’t see what intuition and formulas had to do with each other.
However, if I could experience it physically, it would be a different story.
If I just followed along and got a feel for it, I would be able to understand it somehow, right?
“Alright, let’s give it a try. What should I do? Just sit still?”
“Yes. I’m going to channel mana into your core now. Just take it in a relaxed and natural posture.”
“Relaxed posture, you say...”
I looked around for a moment.
Inside the carriage, the spatial expansion magic made it feel like a small room.
The seating where Carla and I were was more like a sofa than a chair.
Finally, I turned my gaze toward Carla, sitting next to me.
“???”
Perhaps a habit from her noble upbringing, Carla was sitting very primly. She slightly tilted her head at my glance.
I couldn’t help but smile at her confused look, and I lay down beside her.
Sinking deeply into the plush sofa, I rested my head on Carla’s thigh.
“Uh? Um...”
Suddenly finding herself acting as my knee pillow, Carla started to stammer.
Unfortunately, looking up from this angle, her face was obscured by her ample chest.
“Master? Do you really intend to proceed like this?”
“Yep. You said to be comfortable, right? So I lay down comfortably. Is there a problem?”
“No, no, there’s nothing wrong on your part! ...But are you really going to stay like this?”
She asked the same question again, so I nonchalantly reached up and tugged at Carla’s top, exposing her pale stomach.
Seemingly having digested the potion, I stared at her now slim stomach and pressed my face against her cute belly button.
“Heek!”
Before a startled Carla could say anything, I blew a little puff of air onto her stomach.
“Fwooo~”
“Ahhaaah...!”
Carla squirmed like a freshly caught fish, startled by the unexpected tickling. She couldn’t bring herself to push me away, enduring the tickling sensation as best she could. I relished her discomfort for a moment before lifting my head.
“Haah... Uhh...”
Carla exhaled a ragged breath, as if she’d been through a lot in those few seconds.
Turning to her once again, I made my request clear.
“Do it in this position.”
“Uhh...”
“If you ask whether this is okay again, I’ll go so far as to stick my tongue in.”
“Okay, okay! I’ll do it this way. But please, no more playing with my belly...”
Carla said with a quivering voice, placing her hand on my chest.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
