Rising Life Volume 2, Chapter 2

Episode 2 - Comrade by Day, Lover by Night (Hypnosis) I

　Serena's physical strength allows her to defend against a dozen or so attacks with the wooden sword.

　Pushing back the last of the barrage of blows with her arm strength, she leaps back fifteen meters and lands on her feet.

「Kuhh. ......」

　Serena's eyes were distorted, revealing her irritation.

　Kian silently held his wooden sword in front of his eyes.

　The silver wolf tribe is far superior to the human tribe in terms of physical ability.

　In fact, at a range of fifteen meters, Kian has the need to use 'Blink', whereas Serena can reach the blade with just one step.

　Both the range and the speed of the attack are vastly different.

　And yet, she could not attack.

　Serena thought it would be easier, so she is probably gritting her teeth at the bit of her own inadequacy.

『Well, it's not surprising.』

　The glasses in his pocket muttered in amazement.

『You are physically rejuvenated and your bones and tendons have been strengthened dramatically by your recent diet and training. If that girl, who is inferior in skill and experience, can narrow the gap even with her only overwhelming physical ability, there is no way she can win.』

　That's right.

　Kian's body, which has absorbed vampires and has been sucking from Arueno and Serena, has become young, in his late teens or early twenties.

　There, he eats three meals a day of quality food from the "Pig's Foot Pavilion".

　He asks Esther to cut down on the amount of oil as much as possible, and the amount of meat, grains, and vegetables is precisely calculated and prepared, making it a simple but nutritionally perfect meal.

　In the past three weeks, his physical capabilities have improved dramatically compared to his previous poor days.

　Considering the rate of metabolism, in another month the cells of his body will be completely replaced, and his body will be transformed into a different person.

　The difference between Kian and Serena, who were living a life of daily frugality, was beginning to emerge.

(But I won't cut corners. This is a serious match, even if it's just practice. I'm going to give it my all!)

　Kian's eyes narrowed and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

　Serena's dog ears perked up.

「............!」

　With the sixth sense of a beastkin, Serena's eyes widened and sweat trickled from her temples as if she had a vision of herself being beaten.

　Kian kneaded his magic power and used "Blink" to close the distance in front of Serena's eyes at once.

「......!」

　Serena defended against Kian's wooden sword, which was swung sideways, by holding both ends of the wooden sword with her hands.

　Unfortunately, however, this attack is over when she guards.

「Eh ......?」

　There was a dull "Bog――" sound, and Serena's wooden sword popped from the inside.

(The attack is an application of the "Impulse" technique, "Break". By striking the opponent's weapon with chi, it destroys it from the inside. ......!)

　Just as he was about to say, "It's over," Serena's body jerked back.

　Her body is as soft as a cat's.

　She quickly got her hands on the ground and kicked up with her booted feet, aiming for Kian's wrists.

　Of course, he leaped backward and dodged.

　Serena used the momentum to raise herself up as she was.

　Are you still willing to fight even with bare hands?—Kian thought, but Serena stumbled and fell to her knees.

「―――!? H-hey, Serena!」

(Crap, did the chi get into her body!?)

　Kian rushed to her.

　At that moment, Serena's eyes sparkled as she looked up.

「Hah ......?」

「Hmph!」

　The arm Kian stretched out to support Serena was pounced on, and she was jumped on as if a ravenous beast was about to make a predatory attack.

　The scent of the girl's sweet sweat softly flutters through his nose, and immediately after, he is grabbed by the shoulders and pushed backward.

　Kian quickly tenses his neck muscles to protect the back of his head.

　Serena also pulled her arm back just in time to pull Kian's upper body off the ground.

　Then she once again pressed down on his shoulders from above and looked into his face.

　Her silver eyebrows and crisp light blue eyes.

　The beauty of the girl with an impression of sagacity filled Kian's field of vision.

　Serena smiled broadly.

「Yes! It's my win」

　Kian has never seen this face before.

　She was smiling with her white teeth spilling from her lips.

　Kian raised his eyebrows.

「 ...... Isn't that a foul?」

「The match is not known until the last moment. Kian loses when he shows kindness to his enemy.」

「Grr......」

「If you had done that earlier in an actual battle, you'd be dead for sure.」

「I was worried about you because it was only a practice match. ...... But you're right, a loss is a loss. I'll accept this lose gracefully. I give up」

　Kian raises his hands in surrender.

　Serena smiled and then tightened her fingers on his shoulders.

　Her white fingers dig into the muscles of his shoulders.

「Next time, I'll try to beat Kian head-on.」

「To do that, you're going to have to recover your weakened body first.」

「Not just recover my body. In a little while, I think I can surprise Kian, so look forward to it!」

「Haa ......」

　Serena nodded vaguely to Kian and moved her face closer to him.

「It was fun to have a serious fight with you, as expected. ...... Hey Kian, will you have another serious fight with me?」

「About that...... It would be a pleasure in my spare time」

「Fufufu」

　Serena smiles ferociously.

　The corners of her mouth are upturned and her cheeks are flushed from the excitement of the battle.

　She looks like a pretty teenage girl, but at this moment, Kian could feel her wildness, or rather, her beastly nature.

「Haaa, Haaahh, ......Fufu!」

「......, ......, ......」

　Their mouth breaths collided with each other at close range.

　They were so close that they could even smell each other's skin.

「......Would it be time for you to get away from me?」

「―――. ............!?」

　Serena tilted her head slightly at Kian's words, but she sniffed and then jumped back with her eyes wide open.

「Thank you. Though, you're reacting as if you're moving away from the filth ......」

　Kian smiled bitterly as he sit up.

　It may be an appropriate reaction for an old man in his thirties, but it was hurtful when she actually did it like this.

　Serena hurriedly shook her head.

「No, I don't mean to do that. .......! Ki-Kian, somehow .......you smell」

「Eh, ......? You mean, I smell sweaty?」

　Kian put his nose close to the fancy armor he just made.

　He can't quite make himself understood.

　But he was certainly sweating, and perhaps his inner shirt smelled bad.

「N-no, it's not that」

「Not that......? ...... hmm? Hey, your face is all red, you okay?」

　Kian got up and walked up to her and looked into her face, which was bright red.

　Just in case if she's sick, she shouldn't overdo it.

「Serena?」

「......Nnuhmm♡」

　When Kian whispered low in her ear to check her condition, Serena's shoulders shook and her voice sounded sexy.

　She looked up at Kian, her eyes widening as if surprised by her own voice as well.

　Her light blue eyes shook as if buoyed by heat.

　But then she shook her head as if coming back to herself and took a few steps back from Kian.

「Serena?」

「......, I-it's nothing. More importantly, I'd like to have a very thorough hand-to-hand combat with you today.」

「Of course, it's very welcome. I need to get my senses sharp before the exam. But is Serena going to be okay?」

「My body is fine.」

「No. What about your quest? Money is tight, right?」

「Actually, I looked at the guild's bulletin board a while ago, but as I said, I don't think the lowest-class adventurers are going to be able to get decent requests. ...... The money for goblin extermination and deadly demon extermination is extremely small compared to the hard work.」

「Oh, I see. The guild law has been changed, so the lowest class requests, which are good for earning money, are given priority to the 10th-class adventurers, right?」

「Yep. I earn twice as much as I did when I was working part-time at Arueno-san's place.」

「That's just because Arueno-san pays too well.」

　Serena pursed her lips.

「Besides, I don't feel like partying with anyone but you right now......I have to admit, I don't have confidence in myself. Griffins, Night Wraiths, Vampires ― I couldn't stand up to any of them on my own. I was completely piggybacked on you and Arueno-san. ...... I am weak. I need to be stronger. Otherwise, it might happen again that my friends will be killed in front of me like my brother was one day.」

「I see.」

「That's right. So if Kian is willing to invest in me, I want to use the grace you gave me to improve myself. And I promise you that it won't be a loss to you either.」

「I don't care if it's someone else, but if you, Silver Wolf Tribe, say so, I'll gladly support your self-improvement.」

「Thank you.」

　Serena smiled faintly and drew the longsword at her waist.

　Her expression tightens.

「The workday at Arueno-san's place starts in the evening. Until then, I hope you'll be able to help me out. ...... But don't ever use that weapon-destroying technique you just used, though」

　　×　　×　　×

　During the day, he practices swordsmanship.

　At night, he trains in magic.

　Kian's most recent life cycle was like the one on the right.

　He had been doing this for three weeks.

　By the way, sorcery is not the common magic, but the vampire magic that Glasses taught him.

　He was improving the accuracy of the art of spirit absorption, increasing the number of his familiars, and mastering the art of fascinating his targets.

　Today, as usual, Kian returned to his room after dinner and took his glasses out of his breast pocket.

　Outside the window, it was twilight.

　It is the time of day and night.

　In his room at the dimly lit "Pig's Foot Pavilion," Kian looked down at his glasses in silence.

『Are you still afraid to use me and expose yourself?』

「............. Am I really me when I wear the glasses? As expected, I can't believe it.」

『Kufufu. ...... You know the answer to that question better than I do, don't you? What did you feel during the day when you were practicing with that Silver Wolf girl?』

「 .......! It was ......」

『You came to the truth once when you raped the High Elf hag. Now you turn away from the truth again? That's as good as evading responsibility.』

「But ......, I am a pure and righteous Azrair warrior-monk, even though I have been banished. I even pray to the Supreme God. Such an abomination is ...... wrong.」

『What is wrong with that? The righteousness of you―free from all ties, is what you are.』

「―――」

『What do you do now? Shall we take a break from training in vampire magic tonight?』

　Kian raised his eyebrows and hesitated, but eventually shook his head.

「No, I'll do it. I will not take a break from training to become stronger.」

『Then wear me and expose yourself. You, the man in the front, cannot yet handle the deeds of the outsider.』

「............」

　Kian silently put on his glasses.

　At the moment, the usual habitual exhilaration covers the whole body.

「Oohhh ......!」

　His hesitation disappears.

　The reason that suppresses the desire that wells up from within the body relaxes, and the thinking power that had been turned to thought and contemplation begins to be used efficiently.

　The sensation of a clear and refreshed brain.

　A sense of omnipotence.

　At some point, Kian's glasses flashed and his lips twisted up to reveal his gums on the outside.

　This is it!

　It feels so good!

　A physical sensation, a hundred times more pleasurable than ejaculation!

　This sensation reveals the hidden nature of Kian Vaid, the human being.

「Ahh ......!」

(No doubt! This is me! This is Kian Vaid!)

　He feels foolish for having been resistant to this.

『It's like you've fallen into the darkness.』

　Kian pushed up the bridge of his glasses as the glasses' voices echoed

「Kukuku ....... Now then, let's go.」

　He opens the window of his room and jumps onto the window sill.

　Flipping his black "Twilight" coat in the evening light, Kian leaped into the East End sky like a vampire.

　　×　　×　　×

　By the time Kian finished buying the necessary materials at the Guild Store and mixing the coma potion, the sun was well behind him. Serena, who works part-time at Arueno's place, has been coming home at around 1:00 a.m. recently.

　Kian spent the time until about 2:00 a.m. training in other arts than the art of fascination, such as chewing on dried meat and subjugating bats.

　At 2:00 a.m., he finally leaves the uninhabited street market.

　After that, he snuck into Serena's room to replenish his magic power and train in the art of fascination.

　Today, he successfully sneaks into Serena's tavern again.

　As usual, she was naked on top and wearing only a pair of cream-colored hot pants on the bottom, asleep with a pillow in her arms.

　The room was filled with the sweet smell of the girl and the aroma of an herbal bath.

　After working part-time at Arueno's house, apparently, she takes a bath every day before returning home.

「............」

　Kian closes the window and walks over to the bed where Serena sleeps soundlessly.

　There was a large leather bag on the side of the bed.

　It was the fifty silver coins Kian had loaned her this afternoon.

(Depending on how you look at it, you could see me as an aid-seeker.)

『Kian, now that you have improved the accuracy of your art of spirit absorption, I would like to teach you a new sorcery today』

「Oh!」

『The name of it is hypnosis. It is the art of hypnotizing a sleeping or unconscious person, making them dream, and manipulating them as if they were sleepwalking. In ancient times, vampires used it to lure their prey out of their homes.』

「Only when they are asleep? Another strange and difficult technique to use. Well, that's all right. Tell me about it. It's an interesting technique when it comes to raping women.」

「In the case of this girl, her resistance to magic is so strong that normally it would not be successful, but ...... since she has been creampied day after day, night after night, your bodily fluids are still inside her. I think it is possible to connect the path before she resists it.』

「Let's give it a try. Share the sensation with me, Glasses.」

『Yes, yes.』

　Glasses will give him an image of the sensation of hypnosis.

　Kian was able to understand how to apply and manipulate the chi (qi) very quickly.

　After a while, Kian nodded his head.

「Fumu, I understand roughly now. Now, then...」

　Kian put his hands on the head of the silver-haired girl who was sleeping peacefully and on her buttocks, which were wrapped in hot pants.

　Using the remaining Kian cells in her body as a means, he forcibly connects with her.

(And then, pouring magic power into her body, inducing her to think ......!)

「Nnmh......!」

　Serena's ears twitched.

　But her body is asleep.

　Before her magic resistance is triggered, Kian strikes chi (qi) all over her body and takes control of her body.

「Ah......, aah......」

　Serena gave a small gasp.

　Her slender shoulders gave a single effort, and soon her whole body relaxed.

(I did it.)

　Kian lifted the edge of his mouth and brought his mouth close to the ear of the girl who was sleeping peacefully in just a pair of hot pants.

「Serena, wake up――」

　　×　　×　　×

「Serena, wake up――」

(Nmm.....?)

　Inside a dream.

　Serena opened her eyes groggily as a familiar voice reached her ears.

　Her thoughts are strangely blurred.

　She could not remember the most recent events.

　It was a dream, so it was only natural―

「Kia, n?」

　She raised herself from the pillow she was hugging.

　Sitting flat on the bed, she stares blankly at the dark-haired man in front of her.

「............. It's Kian ......」

「Good morning, Serena.」

「Good mor, ning ......?」

　Serena mumbled and then suddenly looked down at her outfit.

　Her upper body was naked.

　On the lower half of her body, she was wearing a pair of cream-colored hot pants.

　She was stunned for a moment and then

「――――!? Eh, eeh ......!?」

　Quickly, she covered her modest twin hills with her arms and backed away from the man in front of her.

　But before Serena could say anything, he said this in amazement.

「What's the matter? Are you so embarrassed to be seen naked by your lover?」

「Lo, ver ......?」

(Lover? Me and Kian?)

　Serena thought so with a sleepy head.

　That's ridiculous――That's what she thinks.

　Instead, a feeling of affirmation arose in her mind that it might have been so.

「E-errr ......?」

「We had sex a lot yesterday. What are you embarrassed about now?」

　The glasses young man said in an exasperated tone and let out a sigh.

「Right......, you're, right?......, ............」

　Serena raised her eyebrows.

　Yesterday's memory.

　Yesterday's memory.

(Yesterday, night ......)

　――Aahnn♡ Aahnn♡ Aaahnnn♡

　――Nnohh♡ I'm....cumming♡ I'm cummiinnnggg♡

　――Aahihh♡ It's coming out♡ A lot of it, it's coming out......nnhihh♡

「............!!?」

「Right? We're lovers who've been having sex many times before.」

(So....we are lover ....... Maybe. Nah, we wouldn't have done that otherwise, and it must be so.)

　Serena looked at the man in front of her as she reminded herself of this.

　Party together.

　We are partners who have gone through dangers as dependable partners.

　There is certainly affection.

　There is nothing wrong with having sex.

　Maybe .......

　Kian unbuttoned his crotch button and pulled out an erect rigid dick from inside.

　Serena looks at it and her eyes widen.

(Eh ......, it's as big as my father's ......)

　And the size of the calyx, for example, is even larger than that.

　It also smells ...... very naughty.

　Serena remembered the sensation in her vagina during intercourse last night.

　That's right, I had been finger teased extensively, and then humiliated as a female by that rugged male symbol――

　To be impregnated by a strong male.

　She felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach, a primordial desire unique to the beastman.

「Come here, Serena. I want to make love to you tonight.」

　Spilling white teeth from his brown face, the foreign nobleman gently reaches out his hand.

　Like a woman invited to dance, Serena gently placed her right hand in his.
