Chapter 105: Those Who Are After Permarten (5)
I gave Shiro some tea and some time to catch her breath.
“How’s it going, Astarote? Is the magic complete?”
“Yes, this should be enough. Although, further improvements may be necessary.”
Astarote successfully laid out the foundational pieces for the magic we’ve been working on.
“I was able to check the flow of her mana, and she just needs to redirect the flow of her mana to her nipples. The issue now is how to refine this technique to allow others to learn it.”
An idea flashed in my mind, but I didn’t want to bring it up in front of everyone.
I’ll ask her next time.
“Did you feel the flow of magic as well?”
“I’m sorry, Scion—I didn’t feel it. I must not be skilled enough yet.”
Yurdias: fail.
I looked over at Serika and Laura.
“It seems like neither of you felt it either. That’s fine. That’s why we have an excellent teacher with us.”
“You mean Astarote?”
“Exactly. She’ll teach you how to feel the flow of mana… Right?”
“Well, I am sort of in your knight order, so… I’ll help.”
Unfortunately, Astarote is still hesitant to take a step into the Infinite Labyrinth.
Sure, she’s cursed, but the real reason is because of what’s going to show up on the floor we’ll venture down to.
“Astarote, I’m actually here to talk about something besides milking magic.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s about succubi.”
The mood shifted.
We need to take this matter seriously since everyone already knows about the ‘condition’ Astarote has.
“I’m going to capture succubi in the dungeon area starting on the eleventh floor for the purpose of studying them in an attempt to undo your curse.”
“You don’t need to put yourselves in danger on my behalf. But, if you could capture succubi…”
“You could study milking magic with them, while also providing you with an avenue to research your curse, possibly resulting in its undoing. I’m sure Barvas will lend you a hand as well.”
“But, you’ll need to be discreet…”
She’s right. We have to make sure it’s kept on the down-low.
The surface will fall into chaos if everyone and their grandmas starts bringing monsters out of the Infinite Labyrinth.
The biggest concern would be that the monsters could threaten a Permarten—Me.
The monsters that are captured and brought onto the surface either have to have their tendons cut, preventing them from moving properly, or are forced to wear anti-mana bracelets.
Anyone responsible for bringing monsters out to the surface without proper precaution will be thoroughly punished, even if they are a part of my knight order.
The greed of those who make fortune off of the Infinite Labyrinth is a monster much too great for me to face right now.
“We now have a merchant to sell the monsters off to once we bring them out from within the Labyrinth. Now that we’ve got the difficult part figured out, all we have to do is find a way to be discreet.”
Our next goal is the eleventh floor of the Infinite Labyrinth.
A setting befitting an ancient dungeon will greet us, accompanied by numerous monsters like succubi, harpies, and sirens.
They can come at me. I’ll suck every last drop of mana out of them with my milking magic.
I… might as well take their virginities as well.

Louie Permarten and his knights left for the castle.
A woman teleported in front of Astarote as she was cleaning up in her study by herself.
“Asti.”
“Sis?”
Her sudden appearance surprised Astarote.
“What’s going on?”
“I just felt like being… me today.”
She flicked her hair back.
Her greyish-purple hair turned pink in an instant, as did her eyes.
“So… what should I call you now?”
“Evelyn. I like that name the best.”
“Why did you come here in your original form? You’re even wearing a dress!”
“I just felt like it.”
Evelyn, who used to be a granny named Barvas until a moment ago, played with the shoulder strap of her maroon dress.
“Haa…” Evelyn sighed.
“What’s wrong?”
“I just feel… I don’t know.”
Evelyn brushed her waist-length hair with her fingers and turned to face Astarote.
“Asti, the Magic Tower means a lot to me, but you mean so much more. That’s why I want to know.”
“Know what?”
“Are you getting yourself physically involved with Louie Permarten because of the cure to the curse, or is it because that’s where your heart is leaning?”
“Sis!”
Evelyn may have crossed the line here, but she asked that out of concern as Astarote’s sister.
“If you want to marry into the Permarten family, then I’m all for it. But, if it’s only because you want to find the cure for your curse, then I’m against it.”
“It’s not about the Permartens.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s the Scion…”
“I see…”
Evelyn put her hands together at Astarote’s resolve, making an audible clap.
“Then why don’t you just ask him to have sex with you? Why are you playing so hard to get?”
“Wh-what?!”
“He’ll strip himself of his pants and jump on top of you before you get to finish the sentence.”
“I mean, yeah, but…”
Astarote looked down, fidgeting with her fingers.
“What do you think of the Scion’s proposal, Evelyn?”
“I think it’s a great idea to build a factory that can produce an infinite supply of magic stones.”
“Infinite, huh?”
“Yeah. There’s an endless hoard of monsters in the Infinite Labyrinth, right?”
“What if the Labyrinth were to disappear?”
Evelyn fell silent.
“I mean, hypothetically, of course.”
“There still would still be an infinite supply.”
“How come?”
“Monsters produce offsprings too, right? You can just use them to run the factory.”
“Wow… You’re the best. How did you even think of that?”
“The Scion terrifies me not only because he thought of that, but also because he’s putting his plan into action.”
“I don’t think he’s that scary…”
Astarote scratched her cheek.
“He’s just reeeaaally into sex…”
“That’s the thing about him! Not a single Permarten had ever dared to creampie women, let alone going on a rampage like this. You know of the records Barvas kept, right?”
Evelyn sank into her chair.
“Some Permartens were gay, some exclusively did anal, and some kept their virginity until marriage. There was someone who even came up with a way to turn slimes into sex toys. I’m sure you know why.”
“It’s to keep the number of Permartens low—to prevent accidentally impregnating women.”
“Exactly! But look at what he’s doing now. He’s having sex like he doesn’t even care if anyone gets pregnant! Cumming in women is a daily occurrence for him. It’s like he’s not even a Permarten.”
Evelyn played with her lips as if she was savouring a meal.
“Once the word gets out that Louie Permarten loves sex, there’s bound to be women setting up honey traps for him. He’ll end up getting screwed over if he’s too busy screwing around.”
“I know.”
“And you still want to be on his side?”
“He said he’ll stay by my side even if I become a succubus.”
“Talk is cheap.”
“He’s proving himself with his sexual stamina, though. I’m sure he’ll be able to handle me even if I turn into a succubus. I’m sure of it.”
“I’m not so sure.”
Evelyn gave up realising how resolute her sister was.
“I won’t stop you from doing what you want, but I’ll kill him if he makes you cry.”
“Thank you.”
Astarote walked over to Evelyn and squeezed her hand.
“Hey.”
“Hmm?”
“If I get really nervous when losing my virginity… could you do it with me?”
“Are you fucking crazy?”
Evelyn’s face flushed in an instant.
“How could you say that to your sister?!”
“I know you’re interested in his cock!”
“That’s completely different!” Evelyn snapped back.
“I-I just want to study his mana and his sperm!”

Meanwhile…
“They must’ve lost their fucking minds.”
Jennis was surprised at her own outburst and stopped herself going any further.
“What is it, Countess?”
Emma, the head maid, emphasised Jennis’ title in an attempt to calm her down, but it didn’t work.
“Did something happen?”
“Those arrogant imbeciles at Serjoshia are sending someone here.”
“But they’ve always done that, haven’t they?”
“Yes, but…”
Jennis gritted her teeth and glared into the crystal ball in front of her.
“It’s a marriage proposal.”
“Oh, my god… from Serjoshia?!”
“Yes..”
Tap, tap.
A woman appeared in the crystal ball upon Jennis’ touch.
“Shit.”
Jennis bit her lips.
