104-Twelfth Episode: The Temptation of a Fairy




 I was in a situation where I - the "wizard" Magnus - was in a very difficult position to explain.
 I was straddled on the bed by a slightly older beauty who called herself Sherris.
 With only a thin sheet separating them, they were laid on her buttocks, their thighs pressed tightly together and the softness of their touch squeezed.
 And the way she was dressed, it was truly a sight to behold.
 She was wearing a nightgown that exposed her breasts, shoulders, and legs, and was so thin that it almost showed her bare skin to begin with. The tautness of her breasts, the deep cleavage of her breasts, the incendiary curves from the neckline of her waist to her buttocks - the design emphasized the allure of her limbs as much as it could. The moonlight streaming in through the window makes her look even more glamorous.
 Where in the world have I hidden all this stuff?

What's this all about?

 I question in a harsh voice tone.

'Oh?' You're gonna let a woman say that? Or is that what you do for fun? Uh-huh, you're bad, aren't you?

 She joked about it, and then she leaned forward and tried to come at me, sticky and pliant, but I wouldn't let her.
 But I wouldn't let her.

"I'm telling you to stop screwing around,

 I thrust my sword against her throat, restraining her from falling on her upper body.

 If you think it's just a bare-handed check, you're wrong.
 As a sub-profession (class), I've now grown the "martial artist" to level 19. It's a great weapon, even if it's bare-knuckled, and with the Wulu School's unique skill of Qigong, it's almost as good as a magic weapon.

 Moreover, ever since Chocolat protected this woman, I've been disarming the effects of the Magic Sea General's Gold Coin. I've regained the power of a level 39 wizard, my main profession (class).
She had also regained her status, and her strength, speed, dexterity, and mental strength were all at a level not attainable by a level 19 martial artist by nature.

 That was the kind of sword that she had thrust at him.
 This woman must have understood that.

''You don't have to be so evil, do you? I just wanted to feel the warmth directly from your skin because you were so cold.

 I give up on pouting and pout my lips in a sultry way.
 She bobbles back and forth on top of me as if to spoil me.
 The childish attitude of an older woman with a delicate complexion is rather appealing. It's just a matter of looking at it objectively.

''Don't give me that crap, get out of my way.

 But I resisted the temptation.
 To me, there is no woman more attractive than Aria.
 There was no reason why I couldn't resist!

Don't you want to call the shots and have some fun with me?
I'm sorry, but you're not going to get it.
"Stubborn! Why are they so stinging? What did I do to you?
Do I have to explain that to you?

 I let my guard down, holding my sword to him, and I told him.

'Hey, Elysiel from the Zale Trading Company? No, should I call you Ellis Barlack now?

 I called her real name.

'How did you know that?'

 She leaps back as if in fear.
 From the state where she was straddling me to the window at once. She uses a supple spring, and the action does not make you feel her weight. It's not the kind of movement an ordinary person would be capable of.

"Ellis is Sherith, another cheap pseudonym, isn't it?

 When people ask me why, I only reply with provocative lines.
No one is stupid enough to tell me that there is a strategy book.
 I get off the bed and confront him.

Magnus the Great Wizard Magnus the Slayer of Demons is a truly terrifying man! I've never had a man as intriguing as you!

 Ellis, whose identity had been discovered, paled heartily at that, but exclaimed somewhat happily.

'Hey, can't we really get under the skin for once, without any ill will? I want to get to know you on a deeper level.
d*mn it. If you'd like to know what the hell you're up to, you can tell me right now if it's really all that important to you.

 I picked up the Daimajin Wand, which was propped up by the bedside, and held it up.

 Then--

Hey, wait a minute! I can't understand the situation at all!

 Rey, who apparently pretended to be asleep, jumped up, as expected, unbearably.

I'm not going to be the only one," he said. You will find that you will be able to get a good deal more than just a few of them. Sooner or later, he will be one of those who must be killed.

 I'll explain briefly.
 Ray was getting more and more bewildered, but I'm not in a position to go into detail right now.

'I'm just tired of the day-to-day boredom and used Barracks to do something more fun, and I don't think I've betrayed humanity or anything big, and I'm not interested in it?
I'm not the one who cares about your circumstances or your motives.
You're a tsurena man everywhere!

 Ellis lamented in a theatrical manner, then turned around and smiled wickedly.

But Magnus? I'm sure you're interested in my Jewel of the Heavens: The Fine Wave, right?

 I held my tongue.
 It's an irreplaceable fact that in order to defeat the Demon King, you need to have all eight of the Jewel of Heaven.
 That's why Ellis knows the value of this, and that's why he's challenging you.

If you want me, you have to go after me.

 Elise smiled, teasingly and most of all, bewitchingly, and suddenly bat-like wings sprouted from her back.
 The nightgown was pushed open from the inside, revealing a perfectly proportioned naked body without a care in the world.

''Naked! What's with the wings? All naked!

 Ray was panicking in bed.

'Ray's been good to me, and you're welcome to come after me too, okay?

 Ellis throws a throwing kiss and leaps out the window.

'Hogwash!'

 I chant a spell as I follow.
 I stand at the window and point the staff of the Great Magic Way at Eris, who is fluttering into the night sky.

"Tilt-ha-un-del-e-rhen!

 From the tip of it, he shoots Thunder IV at Ellis in the sky.
 But my opponent is a level 40 monster of the highest order.
 Just before my lightning strike hits, space itself is distorted and distorted, and the bolt of lightning is deflected in a different direction. Rather than being defeated, Eris's special ability was used to heal me.

Even in the strategy book, I could confirm that Eris Barrak's abilities were specialized in the direction of defense and illusion, but now that I've seen the real thing, I'm convinced.

''Good day, Magnus! Ray! Good dreams!

 With a lusty smile, Ellis disappeared into the night sky.

 I couldn't help but tap on the window.
 A super high-level monster that was good at defense and may or may not have the will to fight, but had to be defeated someday, was perhaps the most troublesome in a way.

''Magnus........''

 And then Ray slipped out of bed and stood next to me, with a lumbering gait.
 I took a deep breath and let out all the fighting spirit I'd been directing at Ellis.
 Then I looked into Ray's eyes and told him.

'I'm sorry. I think it's time for me to tell you the truth--
