H28.9.1 Title Correction
① episode 21.5-7 Villainess’s Seal ① ○ → episode 21.5-7 Villainess’s Seal ①
I, Hal Raymond, returned to the Base Mansion with the selected members of Princess Harem, only to find the remaining members busy fulfilling a request from the Adventurer Guild.
Our return was about 20 days earlier than originally planned, likely thanks to an invitation and generous hospitality from the Valkyries who descended upon us during our journey home, before they dropped us off at the edge of the Great Forest Zone.
The remaining members were struggling to deal with Jeannette Christina Von Montaigne, the Count’s daughter afflicted with Possession. However, Swan Hilda, a Valkyrie, had gifted me a Seal Pierce, effective against demons. Tonight, a ritual was scheduled in my bedroom to seal the “demon” possessing Jeannette, or perhaps more accurately, the “Holy Seal” called a “Demon Brand” bestowed by gods from another world.
Dinner was a lively affair in the first-floor dining room, with the Full Members of Princess Harem assembled, including the new Party Members, Liliana and Shera.
Due to the large number of people, Edele and Freya joined Tirna in the kitchen to help, and Shera, despite being new, was also brought along.
“It would have been perfect if Alicia were here too.”
“We owe Alicia a great deal.”
“Alicia has her own work, so it can’t be helped.”
It seemed that during our expedition, Lyushenne and the other remaining members had become quite close to Alicia.
“Hal, when should we do the Quality Check for Liliana and Shera?”
On the other side of the table, Elise, as usual, wore a dark smile.
After our enjoyable dinner concluded, I waited in my second-floor bedroom for Jeannette.
“Hal, I’ve brought Jeannette, the Count’s daughter.”
A knock echoed on my bedroom door—knock, knock, knock—and Lyushenne entered, accompanied by Jeannette.
Jeannette wore a light makeup, a seductive rouge accentuating her lips, which seemed to mask her youth. Her eye makeup softened her naturally sharp, slightly upturned eyes.
However, a sheer veil draped over her head partially obscured her features, preventing a detailed inspection. Her fiery red hair was swept up elegantly and adorned with a rose hair ornament.
As for her attire, perhaps in consideration of the First Night Ritual, she wore a White Dress that accentuated her pure lineage. The neckline was high, close to a mock neck, seemingly to convey modesty. However, it appeared she wasn’t wearing any undergarments like a bra, as the rich shape of her breasts was subtly outlined by the dress, revealing her beautiful figure. It seemed that Jeannette’s First Night Ritual had become an occasion for the Princess Harem Party Members to meddle.
“Hal, please enjoy my body tonight and, by all means, seal the ‘demon’ that possesses me.”
Jeannette spoke with an uncharacteristic demureness. Lyushenne, standing behind her, nodded, suggesting she had coached Jeannette on this greeting.
It appeared that Jeannette, in her previous life, had been trapped by her role as a Villainess. In reality, she possessed the refined looks of a Noblewoman, and perhaps with an improved personality, she could achieve this demeanor. She likely understood her precarious situation, as I had explained earlier.
“Thank you for preparing Jeannette, Lyushenne. I can handle the rest, so you may leave now.”
“Hal, for the First Night Ritual of a high-ranking Noblewoman, it is customary for a maid to accompany the couple to the bedroom. Please don’t mind me and proceed.”
I urged Lyushenne, who had guided Jeannette, to leave, but she insisted on staying as a witness.
“Lyushenne, you didn’t have a witness for your own or everyone else’s First Night Ritual…”
“Hal, Jeannette is still an active Count’s daughter, and you yourself have been granted the title of First-Class Quasi-Noble. It’s necessary for future practice.”
“Lyushenne, what is your real reason?”
“I won this position as witness after a fierce struggle with other Party Members, so it is my rightful place. Besides, in the dim light of the bedroom, you might miss the Demon Brand if you were alone. I will sit by the wall and will not interfere with your Love making, so please allow me to join you.”
“I can’t help it… I can’t win against such eloquence from you, Lyushenne.”
And so, we agreed to proceed with the ritual, with Lyushenne as a witness for Jeannette’s First Night Ritual.
“Shall we begin the First Night Ritual, Jeannette?”
“Yes… Hal. I heard from Lyushenne and the others that you are a person on par with high-ranking nobles, and it was a revelation. I was also greatly surprised at the banquet earlier. Everyone, including Lyushenne, who had been with me for several days, conducted themselves with a grace that was simply breathtaking. I realized that they are all of noble birth, perhaps even more so than myself. I initially looked down on you as a mere Adventurer, but now I wish the ground would swallow me whole. Please, guide me tonight.”
Jeannette’s haughty demeanor, which she displayed when we first met, had vanished. She now greeted me as a demure Noblewoman. Lyushenne, standing behind her, seemed to be monitoring Jeannette’s behavior.
“Come here, Jeannette.”
“Y-yes… Hal.”
As Jeannette stopped in front of me, I slowly lifted the veil covering her head. The veil fell onto the carpeted floor with a soft rustle.
“Jeannette, you’re beautiful.”
“Th-thank you, Hal. Oh…”
As I complimented her appearance, Jeannette’s cheeks flushed. She began to let out her usual laugh, but managed to stop herself. Behind her, Lyushenne wore a wry smile.
“Let’s start with a First Kiss.”
“I… actually… I died a Virgin in my previous life as well…”
When I announced our intention for a First Kiss, Jeannette’s face turned crimson. Stammering slightly, she confessed. It turned out Jeannette, like myself in this life before my encounter with Alicia, was a complete Virgin. I glanced back and saw Lyushenne struggling to contain her laughter. She might have even been on the verge of tears, but the truth remained hidden in the dim light.
“If you’re embarrassed, close your eyes and stick your lips forward a little.”
I explained the etiquette for a First Kiss, and Jeannette obediently followed my instructions.
“…! …Mm… mm…”
I quietly cast Washing Magic, removing the makeup from Jeannette’s lips, and then pressed my lips to hers, bestowing a pecking First Kiss. My tongue then gently parted her soft lips and entered her mouth. Jeannette was surprised for an instant, her eyes widening in shock. But she soon closed her eyes again, letting me do as I pleased.
“…Mm… Ah… Mm… Mm…”
Before long, Jeannette and I, forgetting Lyushenne’s presence, embraced each other tightly as our tongues entwined in a Deep Kiss. A wet sound of our tongues rubbing and saliva mixing echoed in the bedroom. While kissing, I moved my right hand to Jeannette’s chest and caressed her entire breast over the White Dress. The shock of having her breasts touched by a man for the first time, even through the dress, seemed significant. She flinched and arched backward, but then held me even tighter, which was incredibly endearing. Jeannette’s breasts were full and soft, palpable even through the White Dress.
When I stopped caressing her chest, I moved my hand down to her inner thighs. It seemed she was wearing panties under the White Dress, so I couldn’t confirm the state of the Secret Crack’s slit, but she seemed to react to some extent, her knees buckling. She was clinging to me like a Lion’s bite.
“Jeannette, I’m going to remove your White Dress, is that alright?”
“…Yes…”
When I announced my intention to undress her, Jeannette replied with a faint voice, like the beating of wings.
However, how was I supposed to remove this White Dress? It fit her body surprisingly well, the neckline was almost a mock neck, and the sleeves were long. It looked difficult even to put on. Confused, I looked towards Lyushenne, who was standing by the wall. She seemed to be signaling someone.
And then, in the next moment, something astonishing happened. A small flame appeared at the hem of the White Dress and slowly crept upwards. Where the fire passed, the fabric of the White Dress burned away, creating a slit. The hem of the dress, which reached down to her ankles, was now burned up to her waist. Her bare legs and a portion of her panties peeked through the newly formed slit. The flame continued to climb up her body along her midline, revealing her cute navel and soft abdomen. It finally reached her décolletage, revealing part of the deep cleavage and the swell of her breasts, before extinguishing at the neckline. The small flame that ignited the White Dress seemed to be magic cast by one of the Party Members. Given the advanced control of the magic, unlike anything I had ever witnessed, and considering it was likely cast by one of the remaining members, by process of elimination, I concluded it must have been Dietlinde’s Fire Spirit Magic.
