Chapter 2: Contagious Curse
— Part 2: Suspicious Pot
After a relentless two-hour battle of solidarity struggle, Aurelius only came to realize that the curse couldn't be lifted.
Still, Aurelius desperately sought a path to a resolution.
Meanwhile, the curse persisted, and the witch's temptations remained ceaseless.
"Ugh…"
"Magnolia, are you awake? How are you feeling?"
"Awful. I feel absolutely terrible.
I never want to have that kind of dream again."
"You seemed to be in great distress. What kind of dream was it?"
"I dreamt of escaping from someone I never want to see again. Somehow, I managed to flee and found refuge behind Aurelius. Thinking I was safe, I turned around only to see that person's face on Aurelius. I panicked and fled again.
It felt like it went on forever.
Truly the worst dream.
So, what happened to Aurelius's curse? Was it broken?"
"No, the curse remains unbroken."
If even the wise Aurelius couldn't break it, Magnolia felt there might be no one else capable. She sank into a deep despair, feeling the world around her grow darker.
"So, what do we do now? Are we inevitably going to the witch's lair?"
"No, I managed to handle that.
Apparently, the curse can only be broken with a specific key. Likely, only the witch knows what that key is.
So, I managed to address the most dangerous aspect.
I had to replace the part where loyalty is pledged with someone else.
Therefore, I chose someone I know well and whose face is clear to me.
I'm sorry for using you without permission, but I replaced the target with you, Magnolia.
Since you were right in front of me, I only had to gaze at you."
"Wait, what does replacing it with me mean?
What exactly did you do?"
Fearing any physical changes, Magnolia hastily checked herself.
"I haven't done anything to you, Magnolia. Only I will undergo a transformation. But since I've always cared for you, I believed there wouldn't be much difference.
However, the change was quite significant. The curse's power was far stronger than I anticipated."
"What? What happened?
Surely you didn't pledge loyalty to the witch?"
"I no longer see the witch's face. Instead, I see yours, Magnolia, and I cannot find peace unless you are nearby.
I've grown to love you more deeply than ever before.
I can only say that I love you with all my heart.
I truly do."
As Aurelius approached Magnolia, who was seated on the bed,
"Alright, alright, I understand. Calm down."
With a soft sigh, Aurelius kissed Magnolia, his tongue slipping gently into her mouth.
Flustered, Magnolia reciprocated, their tongues intertwining in a dance of emotions and desires.
"Haa, haa—
It's unusual for Aurelius to give such intense kisses.
But they were quite good.
So, what happened to my curse?
I feel less confused now, but…"
"Sorry, but Magnolia's curse remains impossible to break. If anything, it's gotten worse than before.
You're calm now because magic has temporarily stabilized your mood.
But its effect will only last a short while.
When the magic wears off, your desire for men will return stronger than ever."
"Can't Aurelius comfort me?"
"It's impossible for me.
Since I can't produce semen, being with me only makes Magnolia suffer more.
There's only one way to calm the curse.
Magnolia must be with another man."
Magnolia felt sadness.
"What? You want me to be with another man even though Aurelius is here?
When I love you so much."
"I love Magnolia too. I never want to be apart from you.
But more than that, I can't bear to see you suffer. I'll endure anything to ease your pain."
"If I succumb to the curse and be with another man, will you start to hate me?"
"That would never happen.
Even if Magnolia is with another man, it's because of the curse, not your choice. I will love Magnolia no matter what."
"Aurelius, I'm glad."
The two embraced on the bed. As lovers, it seemed they might proceed to sex.
But doing so would only worsen their curses. They reconsidered and separated.
"But what if we end up transferring the curse again?
Wouldn't that be playing into the witch's hands?"
"We need to verify a few things.
But it's unlikely to transfer in one go. The curse doesn't seem that powerful. It feels more cunning and malicious.
And if it were to transfer immediately, we'd need to be prepared."
"Do I really have to be with another man?
Can't I endure these feelings on my own?
I only want Aurelius."
"It's not possible. Magnolia's heart couldn't bear it.
I might be able to ease it for a day or two with magic, but we don't know how long the curse will last. Soon, you won't endure it, and you'll break.
I could endure Magnolia being with another man, but I can't endure losing you."
"Aurelius, is that okay?"
"We need to decide before the magic wears off. Magnolia, please understand."
"Okay, I'll do as Aurelius says.
But I truly love only Aurelius."
"I love Magnolia too.
No matter what happens."
They embraced again.
"So, about the other person, normally it should be someone Magnolia desires. But today is an emergency, so I'll decide.
It might end up cursed, or rather, it's certain to get cursed.
Serious men living in town won't do. Strong men like adventurers won't do either.
It should be someone who won't cause anyone else pain and can't endure a journey to the witch's place."
"Is there such a man? If not, I'll wait until one is found."
"No, there's one person.
We haven't spoken yet, but there's a man who wouldn't be missed whether he's there or not.
He may not be Magnolia's ideal man, but I'm asking this only this time."
"If Aurelius thinks it's best, then I agree."
"In that case, there's no time.
He should be at the tavern today, so shall we go?"
Aurelius dressed in his usual tunic and pants, while Magnolia changed into a short yukata.
However, because she had to seduce men, she didn't wrap a sash around her chest.
When he entered the tavern, there he was, sitting alone in his usual spot.
"Hello."
"Oh, hi."
Aurelius greeted him, and the man looked up in surprise. He seemed to have been looking at a piece of wood with something written on it.
"Hello. I heard you have the 'Lucky Jade Pot.' Is that true?
As a mage, I'm interested in magical items like that. If it's a rare item, I'd like to see it."
Aurelius was addressing a fortune teller who sold a very expensive 'Jade Pot.'
"Oh, a mage? An adventurer mage? Can you really use magic?"
"Well, just a little."
Aurelius raised a finger and lit a flame at its tip.
"Hoh, you really are a mage."
The fortune teller's words had a double meaning. He acknowledged that Aurelius wasn't lying about being a mage, but also implied that Aurelius wasn't powerful enough to be called a high-level sorcerer or magus.
Aurelius understood but chose to say nothing, instead playing along.
"Since my magic is only at this level, I'm looking for items that can enhance my power. Fortunately, I have some inheritance money."
"Well, in that case, I might be able to help you."
"May I sit down?"
"Please, go ahead."
"Magnolia, you sit too."
Aurelius and Magnolia sat in front of the fortune teller. The fortune teller's gaze fell on Magnolia's chest, showing he was interested in her.
"Could you show me the rumored 'Jade Pot'?"
"Ah, yes, here it is."
The fortune teller took a small pot from a storage box. It was a beautiful pot, but it didn't seem to have any magical power.
"Is this the pot that brings happiness? It certainly is beautiful.
How much does it cost?"
"Normally, it goes for 30 gold coins, but in this town, I sell it for a special price of 25 gold coins because of the support I've received here.
But if a mage like you buys it, I'll reduce it to 20 gold coins. It lends credibility to my sales."
"Oh, from 30 gold coins to 20? That's quite a discount. And I've heard that if it doesn't work, you can get your money back."
"You know well. That's correct. If after fifteen days there is no effect, I'll refund the purchase price for the pot. However, very few people have ever returned it."
"So, you're that confident in its effectiveness."
"Actually, you know," the fortune teller whispered.
"To be frank, I'm not entirely confident in its effectiveness either. Of course, I'm not claiming it's a fake.
This pot was granted magical properties by a magus-sama, but it's not the true magic pot.
I do possess the genuine magic pot, though—it boasts truly remarkable magical power. Even someone like me, unable to wield magic, can sense its potency.
This pot was placed alongside the true magic pot to share its enchantment. So, I'm uncertain how much magic has been transferred or how effective it truly is.
That's why, even though it's a bona fide magic pot, I guarantee a refund if it fails to deliver.
Some have accused me of being a fraud, but the uncertainty extends even to those experiencing its effects.
If this pot proves ineffective, it's merely a stroke of bad luck."
He had crafted a convincing excuse. Even if it were revealed that the pot lacked magic, he could attribute it to chance. Moreover, since he promised a refund for inefficacy, it was not outright deceit. However, if he vanished from town before its ineffectiveness became apparent, that would be the end of it.
A rather cunning plan.
"Then, might I see the true magic pot?"
"No, I'm afraid that's not possible. It was enchanted by a renowned magus-sama, but the magic has become unstable. They warned me that magic might dissipate if a mage were to approach. Nevertheless, this instability allows nearby objects to absorb some of its magic.
Therefore, I cannot display it to a mage."
The fortune teller subtly signaled Magnolia beside him.
Magnolia, whose calming spell was beginning to wear off, breathed heavily, her face turning red.
"If you're not a mage, Magnolia, would she be able to see it?"
"Yes, Magnolia is a swordswoman, correct? Then it should be fine.
You seem quite uncomfortable. The pot also possesses healing properties, so it might bring you some relief.
However, since the pot resides in my quarters, Magnolia must come alone."
The fortune teller cast a leering glance at Magnolia's chest. She was bent over in discomfort, making her cleavage likely visible through her yukata. Once inside the room, anyone could guess his intentions.
Nevertheless, everything proceeded exactly as Aurelius had foreseen.
"Magnolia, shall you go take a look?"
Upon hearing Aurelius's words, Magnolia appeared startled. She seemed to grasp the implications of venturing there on her own.
"What? Am I going alone? Is that all right, Aurelius?"
"Yes, it's perfectly fine. Given the rarity of this urn, I insist you take a look and provide me your observations."
This was precisely why he had instructed the fortune teller to invite Magnolia to his quarters. He needed to ensure that Magnolia would accompany the fortune teller to his room.
"Now that he's granted permission, let's proceed to my quarters and inspect the magic pot. I'm confident you'll find it quite intriguing."
Led by the fortune teller, Magnolia proceeded towards the rear of the establishment. Along the way, she cast several sorrowful glances back. Each time, Aurelius returned her nod with one of his own.
Once Aurelius confirmed that the fortune teller and Magnolia had entered the room, he merely touched the door and returned to his room.
Upon entering the fortune teller's room, a beautifully adorned pot caught her eye. Could this be the genuine jade pot? Magnolia, unable to sense any magical aura, questioned its true magical properties.
"Is that the jade pot?"
Instead of responding, the fortune teller embraced her from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Magnolia attempted resistance, but her efforts were feeble.
"Fuufuufuu—
I see you're beginning to understand, ojou-san. And your boyfriend seems to grasp it as well, doesn't he? Though I'm not sure of the specifics."
The fortune teller's hand slipped beneath her yukata, making direct contact with her breasts.
"Ah…"
Just that touch caused Magnolia's body to react eagerly, and a soft moan escaped her lips.
"Since you're anticipating it too. Your body has already responded like this."
When the fortune teller's fingers brushed against her nipples, they were already erect.
"No, this isn't…
I simply came to see the pot."
"No need for excuses anymore, especially since your boyfriend isn't here."
He opened her yukata wide, exposing both breasts.
"I thought they looked sizable even through your clothes, but seeing them directly, they're even larger than I imagined."
Magnolia glanced ahead and caught sight of a dim iron mirror, locking eyes with the fortune teller.
"Stop it, it's embarrassing."
"But deep down, you're not really against it. You're an adventurer swordsman, stronger than a fortune teller like me. If you truly resisted, I wouldn't stand a chance. Yet here you are, letting me touch your breasts like this, which implies you don't dislike it. You don't have to hide it anymore."
"N-No, that's not…"
"Well then, I'll verify it."
While breathing on her neck, he continued to touch her breasts and stimulate her nipples.
"Haah, hm, hmmm, kuh—"
Just that made Magnolia feel it.
"Are you still going to say you don't like it while making those sounds?"
"No, I…"
"In that case, I'll check this area."
The fortune teller spread the hem of Magnolia's short yukata.
"Hoh, a loincloth? Quite unusual for a woman."
"It suits me. It's more convenient."
"Quite sexy, I must say."
"Kuh, uuh"
He caressed her over the loincloth, causing Magnolia to let out a moan, revealing she was already wet.
"How do you take off this loincloth? It's my first time, so I'm not sure how."
The fortune teller's fingers moved through the fabric, teasing Magnolia until she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uuh…
There's a knot inside the front flap. Untie that, and there's another knot at the back. Once you undo that, it'll come off."
It felt humiliating for Magnolia to ask him to remove the loincloth from herself, but it was still better than being teased further.
"Well then, if ojou-san wishes, shall I remove it for you?"
"But I…"
"Do you dislike it? If so, I'll stop."
"Kuh, it's fine."
"You're not being straightforward, but very well."
The fortune teller untied the knots at the front and back, removing the loincloth. At the same time, he lifted the hem, exposing Magnolia's bare buttocks.
He pressed against her from behind and his fingers trailed over her exposed pussy.
"You're so wet; seems like you really want a man. What's your boyfriend doing, not touching you?"
"Uuuh—
That's none of your business."
"No, I just think it's a waste. I would want to do it every day if it were me."
Plop-opp
"Uuuh, hmm, uuh, aaaah—"
Magnolia accepted the fortune teller's fingers entering her pussy without resistance, immediately letting out a moan.
"See, you're like this now. It's as if you're begging for it right away."
"I'm not thinking that at all."
"Words can lie, but the body doesn't lie."
"Uuh—
AAaaah—
HAAAaaah"
Plo-o, plo-o, plo-o—
As his fingers moved inside her, Magnolia couldn't suppress her sounds of pleasure. Feeling strained standing up, she leaned against the footboard of the nearby bed. This inadvertently pushed her buttocks out, with her pussy fully exposed due to her yukata being lifted. It almost seemed like an invitation.
"Heheheh, seems like you can't wait any longer."
Something touched Magnolia's pussy. Even though she couldn't see it, she knew it was the fortune teller's cock.
Plop-oppp, squissh, plo'pp
Magnolia's pussy accepted the thrusting cock without resistance.
"No— aaah"
Accepting a cock other than Aurelius's, Magnolia screamed in genuine disgust. Tears of frustration spilled down her cheeks.
However, her body trembled with pleasure, eagerly anticipating receiving semen in her uterus.
This, in turn, fueled her shame, causing tears of humiliation to overflow.
"Your body may resist in words, but it tells the truth. Your pussy gladly tightens around my cock. There, there,"
Plok', plok', plok', plok'—
As the fortune teller thrusts his hips, a lewd sound of flesh rubbing with mucus echoed.
"Um, Um, Um, Um, Um—"
Magnolia involuntarily matched her voice to his rhythm.
"Wow, your pussy feels so good—I've never had one like yours before. You've got a great body, ojou-san. Be thankful—I'll make good use of it,"
"Who do you think you are?"
"And who's enjoying being done by me?"
The fortune teller's demeanor shifted oddly. It seemed his usual guise of a good person was slipping, revealing his true nature.
PloPp, PloPp, PloPp, PloPp—
The fortune teller's movements became more pronounced.
"KUAah, HAAah, Haa, HAAah—"
Magnolia's moans grew louder.
"Oh, it's irresistible.
Trembling as if tightly squeezed and drawn in. It feels like being sucked into something.
This is the best feeling ever.
I can't hold back anymore, I'm going to let it out."
"Ugh—
Are you going to release inside? No, not inside, please, forgive me.
UGAAaah"
"I understand, it would be unfair to your boyfriend.
But I don't mind.
So, where do you want it?
Inside here, or perhaps in your mouth?
I don't want to dirty the floor by doing it outside.
But it seems you really want it inside you.
You're clinging to my cock."
"UMMmmm—
Don't say such things. I don't want anything from you."
"Then where do you want it?
If you don't say soon, I'll let it out inside.
There, there,
Isn't this what you want?"
PloPppO, PloPppO, PloPppO
"KUAah, KUAaah, KUAaaah—
That's—that's so goooood."
"What's wrong? Where do you want me to release it? If you won't tell me, I'll stop."
"Ugh, it's fine,
I don't mind."
Magnolia could no longer resist the curse.
"What do you want?"
"Just let it out inside me, it's okay."
"What do you mean 'it's okay'? If you want it, just say so clearly. If you don't, then…"
"UMMmmm—
Just… release it inside meeeee.
I want your semen in my womb."
Magnolia succumbed to her physical desires.
Her body craved semen uncontrollably. The desire overwhelmed her entire being, filling even her mind. She could no longer hold it back.
She couldn't make excuses like not wanting it. Right now, she wanted semen. That was all she could think about.
"Alright, if you want it that much, I'll grant your wish.
There, it's coming."
"Y-yes,
Yes, I'm cummming…"
Feeling the semen released, her womb trembled with joy, and her entire body was filled with pleasure.
Her legs trembled, but somehow she managed to cling to the headboard, supported by the fortune teller, and remained standing.
"Kuh, Haa-Haa
You really squeeze tight. And it sucked me in so intensely, writhing like that.
Was it that good?"
"Haa, Haa, Haa—"
As the fortune teller let go of her, Magnolia collapsed on the spot, unable to sit up straight. She was still caught in the throes of climax. Semen spilled onto the floor from between her legs.
