Master's Philia (WN): Chapter 40

 

Seeking Mercy



 A part of the Asurora Empire's territory.


 It was a city ruled by the Flame General.



 In a house built to be pushed to the edge of the city, Eul quietly watches the doctor's examination.



 The person who was checking the pulse of her sister, who was lying obediently on the bed, was a talented and well-known doctor in the empire.


 The doctor let go of her sister's arm and let out a small sigh.



 Eul, who was watching the situation, took the opportunity to ask the doctor.



"So, did you find out anything?"


"……Unfortunately not."



 The doctor shook his head.



 When Eul's sister was examined by a doctor, her body had been transformed from the navel area into a crystal-like mineral.



 A few years ago, it was just a faint layer of crystals on the surface of her skin, but as the years passed, the crystals began to erode her entire body.


 It seems that she does not feel any sensation when the crystal part is touched, and several doctors who have checked her have stated that if the crystal continues to cover her whole body, her life will be at stake.



 In fact, crystallization has already progressed around the hip joints of her sister's body, and she is starting to feel clumsy in the way she walks.


 It was not difficult to imagine that if the crystallization continued to invade her entire body, Eul's sister would have difficulty even breathing.



 The illness that her sister suffered from was given the name [Magic Crystal Disease] because the mineral in question is similar to minerals found in places where the mana in the atmosphere is quite strong.



 Eul left the room where her sister was and opened her mouth to face the doctor who was organizing the tools used for the examination.



"About the next medical appointment..."



 The doctor stopped when Eul was about to ask him about her plans.


 Then, he changed his posture towards Eul, lowered his eyes, and said with a little fear.



"Eul-sama, I apologize. I can only help you today."


"...Let's hear the reason."



 Eul tried to keep her emotions calm and asked just to be sure.



"We work hard every day to cure patients, but we also have families, so..."



 The magic crystal disease that Eul's sister contracted is a disease whose cause is still unknown.



 This doctor is also afraid of the possibility of him getting infected with Magic Crystal Disease.


 Since Eul has lived in the same house as her sister for several years since she contracted the disease, the possibility of it being an infectious disease is quite low as she has not suffered from the same disease as her sister, but her sister is suffering from the disease. Since the cause of the incident was not clarified, it could not be said with certainty that it did not affect others.



"I understand how you feel about your sister, but I think it would be better for Eul-sama to take care of your own body as well."



 With that, the doctor left the house.



 As if being told to abandon her sister, Eul clenched her fists tightly and endured her frustration.


 She has shown her sister's condition many times to famous doctors in the empire, but no matter who she calls, they only give up on her because they don't know the cause of her illness.



 Feeling a little depressed, Eul picks up the letter that was placed on the desk.



 The sender of the letter that arrived the other day was her father, who was given the name of Flame General.



 The contents of the letter implied that if her sister's illness was not cured within a year, she would be disposed of.


 Considering the possibility that the disease of unknown cause―― [Magic Crystal Disease] could be transmitted to other people, Eul and her sister lived in a hut away from the crowds.


 However, her father, who seemed to have considered it a loss, informed her that it would require a considerable amount of money to support her sister, who was suffering from an unknown illness.



 Eul was silently angry at the Flame General, who did not even try to find a cure for her sister's illness and was cruel to her sister, who was his own daughter.



 As she was reading the letter and checking the remaining period, she heard a movement on the other side of the door.


 What appeared with a helpless smile was the image of her sister, whose crystals had spread all the way to her right cheek.



"Looks like it didn’t work this time either."



 She said so calmly and optimistically that it was hard to believe that her sister was suffering from an illness.


 The way she smiled bitterly made it seem like she wasn't interested in it.



 Recognizing the letter in Eul's hand as belonging to the Flame General from the seal, her sister spoke to Eul gently, as if she knew the contents of the letter even though she hadn't shown it to her.



"Eul. It's fine with me, but more importantly, I want you to follow Father properly."



 Eul shakes her head slightly as she smiles bitterly, as if accepting her own death rather than not giving up.



"Please don't say things like that. I will definitely cure Sister's illness."



 Eul said so, looking a little sad.



 Because she was born to a father named Flame General and a distant relative of her mother, who was named Earth General, she was looked at as different even among the relatives of the Flame General, and was forced to suffer from this.


 For Eul, her sister is a relative who has shared such joys and sorrows with her.



 Eul didn't have the option of abandoning her sister.



 Even if the doctors in the empire were unreliable, that didn't mean everything had been exhausted.



 It is a well-known story that in the Kingdom of Shirsodi in the south of the continent, there is an old woman who has reached the pinnacle of healing magic that can heal any injury.



 The old woman's name seems to be Lapeia Ila Asur.



 The Asur family is one of the three great aristocratic families in the kingdom.


 It is a proof that it is the three highest ranking family among the famous families. She was given the name Charity.



 The old woman's story has some credibility, as her identity is well established, and there are also rare stories of people in the Empire paying a large sum of money to the old woman to have their lost arm or leg healed.



 In order to visit the old woman, Eul offered to study abroad in the Kingdom of Shirsodi, which was recruiting within the empire.



 Ten years have passed since the [Civil War], a civil war that drastically changed the balance of power within the empire.


 Even within the empire, which had settled down, in order to deepen exchanges with other countries, it was said that, although it was a small number, they were planning to send students to the kingdom, something they had not done in a long time.



 Eul just wanted to visit the old woman, but she also understood that if she focused on her personal feelings too much, they wouldn't send her as an exchange student in the first place.


 Therefore, she passed the examination for studying abroad, nominally for the further development of the empire and for improving her own magic abilities.



 Thanks to her bloodline, Eul was able to use magic with two attributes that are rare among mages, so they easily accepted her request to study abroad.



 It seems that there was another student who would study abroad besides Eul, and on the day of leaving for the royal capital, that person came to greet Eul when they met.



"I-t's an honor to meet you, Eul-sama."



 The name of the timid boy who greeted her was apparently Machen.


 She heard that he was a commoner, but he seemed to know Eul and other nobles, and gave a polite salute.



 And, perhaps because Eul is the daughter of the Flame General, she was assigned a dwarf man named Brelin to take care of her while also studying abroad.


 It would have been more convenient for someone of the same gender to be the caretaker, but Eul wanted to cure her sister's illness as soon as possible, so she couldn't afford to stay there long.



 On the way to the kingdom, Eul became friends with Machen and the others.



"Eul-sama, here."


"Oh, thank you"



 Inside an inn on the way to the kingdom, she receives tea from Machen and drinks it while he watches her.


 Despite Machen's timid personality, he was more willing to take care of Eul than her caretaker, Brelin.


 He also has detailed knowledge about magic and the history of the empire, especially the [Four Generals] of the empire, things that even Eul, the daughter of the Flame General, doesn't know.



"Heh, something like that happened during the battle between the Flame General and the Insect General."


"Y-yes."



 Along the way, Eul admires Machen's story, while Brelin groans in the light of the fire outside the inn.



"Hmm... I feel like this level of light isn't enough to illuminate the area after all..."



 As a dwarf who loves fire and minerals, he seemed to be very particular about flames, and he muttered something like that.


 Contrary to his appearance, he is a dwarf and seems to be young, and he seems to have a habit of sometimes neglecting Eul and staring at the flames.



 Eul smiled bitterly at Brelin's groaning appearance, but let out a small sigh.



 ――Sister.


 What she remembers is her sister who she left behind in the empire.



 Until a few years ago, her sister's body was perfectly healthy, and she had a kinder, happier smile.


 Even though her sister still kept smiling, Eul could sense that she was suffering somewhere deep inside.



 Eul cannot accept such an outcome, such as her giving up on life, getting sick, and dying.



 Even if the doctors in the empire gave up on her, even how indifferent her father, the Flame General, was, Eul was determined to continue searching for a way to cure her sister's illness, even if she was alone, without anyone's help.




---




 In the basement of the Noros family's detached house, Tigaro was looking at the sleeping red-haired girl.



 After all, no matter how many times he sees her, there is no doubt that she is Eul Stimung from the Empire, and there is no way her mana will react anywhere else.



 In the first place, each person's mana has a different wavelength, and even though they are using magic tools, it must be quite difficult to discern each individual's mana from a distance.


 If that's the case, doesn't the mana that Machen reported sensing belong to someone else?



 Tigaro can't use search magic, so he's not an expert in that kind of knowledge, but that's what he thought about the report he heard at the second meeting.



 Tigaro frowned and looked at Eul's sleeping face, and the red-haired girl's lips moved slightly.



"Sister..."



 Hearing those words, Tigaro suddenly remembered something from the past.



 ――Mother…….



 His murmurings sounded like something from his childhood who murmured in the middle of the night out of loneliness.


 Even though his mother hates him and sees him as something frightening, he ends his relationship with his close childhood friend, and even though he feels lonely, he still thinks about the people he cares about and acts accordingly.



 ――I wonder if she is like that too.



 While looking at Eul's face, Tigaro thought about this for a moment.



 As he did so, Eul's eyelids slowly moved.


 Her gaze was a little blurry, and it seemed like she hadn't fully woken up from her sleep yet.



 Tigaro put on his smiling mask and smiled.



"Hello, good morning."



 Eul had a bitter look on Tigaro's cheerful face.



"...It's the worst kind of awakening."


"Haha, please don't say that."



 Even as she said that, Tigaro pushed the feeling of closeness towards Eul that was about to well up inside him.



 Tigaro must now violate her and reduce her to his slave.


 Perhaps because Tigaro forcibly took her virginity and humiliated her body, there is already hostility in the way she looks at him.



 Even from Tigaro's perspective, she is the one who can change her form into a monster, and once attacked Aifie, putting her in danger.



 Even if he felt a little sorry for her because of his own delusions, there was no way he was going to stop now.



 In order to make Eul his slave, Tigaro decided to start by caressing her.



 He massaged her exposed breasts with his palms and stroked her protruding buttocks with his fingertips.


 Tigaro's caress, which specialized in pleasuring women, was truly skillful.



 Eul's breathing became faster little by little at the stimulation, which was a little frustrating, but clearly felt good.



 However, even as Eul was being caressed by Tigaro, she seemed to be thinking about something, and the look of hostility in Eul's eyes gradually faded as she began to breathe hotly.



"...Before, you asked me if I remember becoming a monster, right?"


"Yeah, I'm glad you remember."



 When he lifted her voluptuous breasts and massaged them, Eul let out a deep breath.


 When he stroked the chrysanthemum-like creases of her butthole and lightly poked the tip of her hole with his fingertips, her butthole tightened cutely.



 Eul's body had long ago been developed into a body that burns hotly at the hands of Tigaro.


 Tigaro was playing with Eul's body, which was heating up with pleasure, with a faint smile on his face.



"Nhh, ah... What do you mean?"



 Hearing those words, Tigaro suddenly stopped moving.



"...Are you trying to play dumb now?"



 Looking at her with suspicion, Tigaro asked the red-haired girl below him.


 Then, he slowly inserts his p*nis from behind into her v*gina, which is starting to get wet.


 Tigaro's big p*nis pushed in as he asked the question, and Eul's body tightened as if pleasured.



"...Nhh... haa, haa, haa"



 Eul's gaze, which was silent as she let out a breath, seemed to be fixed on Tigaro.



 Tigaro frowned a little, wondering if he had made a slight mistake in his response.


 Eul's words just now made it seem like she didn't know that she had become a monster and attacked Aifie and Mozu.



 However, there is a possibility that Eul's words were an act.



 She is fitted with a mana alloy lock, which suppresses the flow of mana within her body.


 Even if she tried to forcefully remove the restraints, her supple body would be unable to forcefully break the metal.



 From Eul's point of view, the only way to reverse her current situation is to be enslaved by Tigaro.



 Understanding this, Tigaro thought for a while before choosing his words.



"...That's right. If you pledge your loyalty to me, then I'll believe your words."



 In the current situation where it is unknown whether Eul is an enemy or an ally, Tigaro can only believe Eul's words when she becomes Tigaro's slave.


 He didn't know if she understood the meaning of those words, but hostility returned to Eul's eyes.



"...Stupid thing."



 Saying that, Eul spun meaningful words.


 Tigaro was saying that in earnest, but Eul seemed to have given up on the conversation.



 Tigaro saw this and started moving his hips.



"Ah, kuuh… ha, ha…!!"



 While listening to Eul's moans, Tigaro obeyed the pleasure and innocently pushed his p*nis deep into Eul's v*gina.



 He thrusts the [Spirit Tail] that came out from below his navel into Eul's asshole and stirred it.


 The tentacle that grew from Tigaro's body undulated within Eul's stomach, playing with her body as it pleased from within.



"Naaahhh!?"



 Eul's loud gasping voice, which had become particularly sexy, hit Tigaro's eardrums.



"Ha, ha"



 He can't get the question she asked him from a moment ago out of his head.


 He wonders if he's just violating a girl that doesn't know anything.



 He can't erase that suspicion from his mind.



 While tormenting Eul, Tigaro couldn't resist the urge and ended up throwing words at Eul.



"Hey, what you said earlier――"



 After saying that, Tigaro stopped speaking.


 Then, he realizes that he has a feeling of closeness to her.



"...No, let's stop."



 Tigaro felt threatened by this and immediately retracted his words.



 Having unnecessary feelings only gives the other person an opening to take advantage of you.


 If his own naivety ends up putting Aifie in danger again, he'll be putting the cart before the horse.



 The red-haired girl in front of him was able to transform into a monster, and he was now dealing with it.


 Tigaro needs to reaffirm that danger.



 ――For now, think only about bringing her down.



 Tigaro said this to himself and put a lid on his heart with a smile plastered on his face.


 Then, he used his still erect p*nis to gouge Eul's cervix.



"Ah, ah, ooh!?"



 The image of Eul's face, which seemed to be slightly in pain even though she was panting in pleasure, was burned into Tigaro's mind.
