Chapter 26: Obedient to You
Iaar licked very carefully.
Iaar was a wolf girl, and her tongue had no barbs. The soft, pink little tongue glided over the back of his hand cautiously and gently. It didn’t cause pain; instead, it soothed the ache from where the bandage had just been removed.
At the same time, the tip of her tongue was wet with saliva.
As her tongue slid over the uneven wounds, Will felt a moment of warmth followed by a cool sensation, like a gentle evening breeze.
“Mmm… Nnngh… Plup…”
Iaar would occasionally curl her tongue, re-moisten it in her mouth, and then apply it to Will’s wounds.
“Iaa… Iaar?”
“Saliva, especially ours as Half-Beastmen, seems to have a good effect on healing wounds… I think, Young Master told me that.”
“Mm. Because Beastmen lived in harsh environments in the wild in their early stages, they evolved better abilities in this regard… Mm… Don’t rush to lick yet…”
Before Will could finish his sentence, Iaar, as if unwilling to listen, gripped Will’s wrist with a hint of petulance. When she reached the wounds on his fingers, she placed them in her mouth and sucked on them briefly.
“Plip.”
Will swallowed.
Although Iaar was healing him.
Still…
The act of her sucking his fingers felt so… suggestive, and this “wound licking” experience, complete with visuals and sensations, made him feel a little bit good.
Her small pink tongue, naturally agile like a Beastman’s, rolled fluidly, sparking his imagination. The glistening saliva, stretching like threads under the lamplight, further enhanced this visual experience.
“Nnngh… Young Master… Does it hurt very much?”
While still savoring the feeling from moments ago, Iaar had finished applying the medicine and was starting to wrap a new bandage.
“No… Uh… How should I say it, it was actually quite comfortable.”
“That’s good, Iaar is very happy!”
Seeing Iaar’s sweet smile, Will sighed. When would this girl stop being so sunny and cute?
When would the blackened maid I wanted finally arrive!
“Then, then, then, Iaar will lick it for you every evening.”
“N-no need, once or twice is fine!”
He quickly withdrew his hand and looked at his desk.
He had important business to attend to after school today.
There was no homework on the first day, but his desk was covered with…
coins.
Identical Witch Coins were arranged in three or four rows.
“Iaar, please get the Blood Mint Essential Oil from the cabinet for me.”
“Mm. Should I pour it into this plate like before?”
“Yes, yes.”
Iaar brought out the bottle containing the red essential oil and poured it into the transparent plate beside it.
“A little less, oh, stop, that’s just right. This thing is quite difficult to handle.”
“It truly is. It has a fragrant mint aroma, but it’s red. Iaar has never seen anything like this before.”
Will was surprised that Iaar could smell mint from it.
He could only faintly smell the mint by bringing the essential oil close to his nose, but Iaar’s five senses were much better than his.
He used tweezers to pick up one of the coins and placed it in the plate.
“Nnngh, Iaar doesn’t understand… Why did Young Master make so many imitation coins? And… soak them in essential oil?”
“Oh, because this thing is, in a sense, a love potion that specifically targets Witches.”
“Wh-wh-wh-what?!”
Iaar’s tail stood on end. Had her Young Master finally revealed the true perverted nature of the Hysterm Family?!
“It’s… it’s just a metaphorical way of putting it! Simply put, it’s an item that promotes blood circulation in the Magic circuit, but its applicable range is very narrow. For example, neither you nor I will react to this thing; it’s only effective on Witch bloodlines.”
Will instinctively blurted out a popular meme played by readers of the Original Work.
But this description was actually… extremely accurate in describing the effect of Blood Mint on the Witch clan.
By promoting blood circulation in the Magic circuit, it speeds up the Witch’s heartbeat, removes some of the restrictions on the Witch bloodline’s magical talents, and opens up the senses throughout the entire body’s circuits. Therefore, Witches who use it feel…
very good!
Extremely good!
As if reaching an orgasm! (Magical orgasm, of course).
In the Original Work, the reaction of Witches upon contact was described as very stimulating, and even approaching Blood Mint would elicit a similar reaction, which is why readers privately referred to it as such.
Although the name was a bit strange, making it sound like something one shouldn’t use.
However, Blood Mint was a very effective and irreplaceable catalyst for breakthroughs in the Witch bloodline.
This item even served as a cheat for some Witches who couldn’t use Ancient Magic due to their age and ability limitations.
It’s just that he didn’t know why, according to the Original Work, Liya only started using this item before the final battle of her “loser arc.” Did she not know she could use it like this before?
According to the Original Work, Liya’s research was stuck before she joined the team, and she broke through using this. The Witch bloodline was like a high-powered engine; as long as it had enough power and lubrication, it could break through many bottlenecks without thinking.
“So scary, Iaar almost thought Young Master’s wicked claws were reaching out to hundred-year-old Witches.”
“In your eyes, what kind of existence are the people of the Hysterm Family…”
“Mm… But Young Master, the coin seems to be missing one? Hmm… Iaar opened it and counted carefully… carefully when I was cleaning earlier.”
“…Indeed, I used one today. But don’t worry, I still have the real one.”
Will flicked the coin in his hand. The artisan he hired was very skilled at making counterfeit coins; both coins felt and weighed exactly the same. To distinguish them, Will had made a small scratch on all the imitation coins.
He didn’t scratch the real one because… this real one was incredibly powerful. Ordinary blades couldn’t leave a mark on it. Will had tried several times and given up.
The one he had in his hand now was the original coin with perfect, unblemished marks!
Oh.
Of course…
This meant…
Will looked at the moonlight outside the window.
Heh, the coins he showed Liya this afternoon were fake. He intentionally took them out to let her take the fake ones.
And on the fake ones…
They were coated with Blood Mint Essential Oil!
That’s right, this was Will’s fishing plan!
Using a real Witch Coin for trade was a one-time thing and wouldn’t give Liya “positive feedback,” which was a bad deal.
But…
Once this little Witch tasted the Blood Mint and discovered how good it was, she would likely become addicted.
Like a cat that fluffs up its fur at the slightest touch, once it gets catnip, it’s at your mercy.
In this way, the coins coated in “Blood Mint Essential Oil” became bait that could be used continuously.
Moreover, because it provided positive feedback that gave Witches a pleasurable sensation, it could be used to train that tsundere Witch.
Will flipped open his “Quest System” notebook. Under the warm lamplight, the notebook showed marks where he had crossed things out and written new entries:
[Quest 39: Gain the trust of Witch Liya.] (Crossed out)
[Quest 39: Let Witch Liya experience the goodness of Blood Mint, and let her ultimately obey you!]
[Reward: Perhaps… a docile Witch?]
“Heh… I wonder, is the currently disobedient and tsundere Liya feeling quite happy right now?”
