Chapter 2: Contagious Curse
— Part 4: Regrettable Ordeal
Soon, Magnolia arrived at the door of the room where Aurelius was. However, she stood there hesitating before the door.
Despite hurrying here, her legs came to a stop. All she needed to do was knock and open the door.
Will Aurelius forgive Magnolia for sleeping with another man?
If not forgiven, Magnolia will lose everything.
She wanted to be by his side, even if she was scolded or hit.
If forgiveness isn't granted, as a last resort, she wanted Aurelius to kill her.
If even that request was refused, Magnolia would lose all purpose to live and all means to die, becoming utterly helpless.
After catching her breath, Magnolia gathered her courage and knocked.
Knock, knock, knock.
"I'm back."
Aurelius pretended to be calm, but his voice was trembling.
"Welcome back."
Aurelius sat on the bed, closed his book upon seeing Magnolia's face, and extinguished the magical light.
"Welcome back."
She heard his gentle voice, and everything she had been holding back burst out at once.
"Aurelius…"
She clung to him, tears overflowing.
"Did you hate it? Was it painful?"
He gently stroked her head. His kindness made her sadness uncontrollable.
"Aurelius, I betrayed you.
I shouldn't have, it was wrong, unforgivable, but I betrayed you.
Scold me, be angry with me, hit me.
You can abandon me, it's okay to discard me, even to kill me.
Do whatever makes you feel better.
I'm not worthy of your kindness, I'm not fit to be with you, I'm just a worthless woman."
The tears and grief would not stop.
"It's okay, Magnolia. You don't need to worry about anything.
Just cry if you want to."
After that, Magnolia clung to Aurelius's legs and continued crying for a while.
Even though she loved Aurelius like this, she had been embraced by another man, accepting his seed. It could never be forgiven, even with the curse of a wicked witch.
"Are you feeling calm now?"
She cried openly, and Magnolia began to settle down just a little.
"You see, Magnolia is under a witch's curse. So, there's nothing we can do about it.
I too am under a witch's curse. So, there's nothing we can do about it.
That's how it is."
Still with a tear-streaked face, Magnolia nodded.
"I love Magnolia, now and forever.
That's why I can't bear the thought of losing Magnolia.
So, I want us to always be together. Is that alright?"
Magnolia nodded again.
Suddenly, Aurelius drew closer.
"No, I can't."
Flustered, Magnolia withdrew.
"Right now, my lips are tainted. My body is tainted too. That's why I can't let you touch me."
"In that case, should you clean up first?
If it's really dirty, maybe we should use the 'purification chair' instead of the 'purification board'."
From the storage box, Aurelius pulled out something resembling a chair.
It was akin to a chair with armrests, yet the seat was supported only by two poles. The armrests were slender rods, and the backrest consisted of three poles.
Most notably, there were two large boxes on either side. When seated in the chair, it felt like being enclosed between these two boxes.
Normally, one wouldn't want to sit in such an eerie chair, but if Aurelius was presenting it, it must be something worthwhile.
"Sit here without anything on."
"Oh, um, you mean I should undress?"
Magnolia didn't mind being naked in front of Aurelius, but she was embarrassed about him seeing the traces of semen on her thighs and groin.
It unmistakably showed evidence of having sex with another man, something she didn't want her beloved to see.
However, Magnolia knew Aurelius's tools would cleanse and feel pleasant on her body. She couldn't resist his allure.
She boldly placed her short yukata in the storage box and sat naked on the cleansing chair.
There still lingered remnants of her encounter with the fortune teller all over her body, which she didn't want Aurelius to see. She covered herself with her hands while sitting.
"Grab the front rod with your hands. And you should probably spread your legs."
"Huh, um, okay."
Whether Aurelius was deliberately teasing her or curious about the remnants from her encounter with another man remained unclear, but Magnolia complied as instructed.
He wasn't the type to jest for mere amusement, so there must have been a reason behind his actions.
Suddenly, Aurelius himself seemed embarrassed.
"Oh, no, you can close your legs first."
"You should have said that earlier. I'm embarrassed too, you know."
Flustered, Magnolia closed her legs and covered herself with her hands.
"Sorry. I'll close them right away."
Aurelius too hastily attempted to close the boxes that were spread out beside them.
"Make sure your head aligns properly so it doesn't get caught when I close it. Should I tuck your hair inside? Well, we'll think about that next time."
He secured the two boxes together at the front with clasps to prevent them from opening. Now, Magnolia's head was the only thing protruding from the boxes, completely enclosed.
She couldn't resist anything anymore. But if it was Aurelius, she was willing to endure whatever came next.
"I made this for my master, but it didn't receive good reviews.
It does make your body clean, but the main issue is, it requires another person to use it.
Plus, it's difficult to adjust the temperature. People say it's better to just use a regular bath with warm water, so this 'body cleansing chair' has been left unused.
Magnolia, let's go.
I'll start gently and gradually increase the intensity. Increase the temperature slowly from lukewarm, and let me know when it's comfortable.
Also, you can wash between your legs, but you'll need to adjust the position yourself.
Alright, here we go."
Magnolia didn't understand what Aurelius was saying, so she could only stay there, unable to move.
Pshhhhh
She heard the sound of water spraying, and warm water enveloped her entire body.
"Hiyaa!"
Surprised, Magnolia let out a strange sound.
However, it wasn't unpleasant—rather, it was quite pleasant.
"Was it too hot, too cold, or too strong?"
Aurelius, who was behind her, was concerned when she made that strange sound.
"No, I'm fine. I was just surprised."
Magnolia was simply taken aback by the unexpected hot water.
As Aurelius had mentioned, water softly sprayed her genitals.
She reached out and adjusted the position of the water stick, hoping it would wash away the semen that had entered her pussy.
During this time, the water temperature increased, and it was starting to get warm.
"Hm, this is good enough."
"Understood."
Aurelius, who was behind her, let go of the handle he was turning, and the water didn't get any hotter.
Gradually, the water pressure increased, and Magnolia's entire body was washed.
"This is quite relaxing. And it actually feels quite nice.
It would be even better if it could wash my hair."
"Let's work on that next time.
Shall I wash your face while you're washing your body?"
Aurelius wiped her face with a soft, damp cloth.
Then he let her rinse her mouth with water. It was slightly stimulating, but it seemed to contain a cleansing agent that freshened her mouth.
Magnolia felt like she had become a queen.
Despite having shared her body with other men, she felt almost guilty for receiving such attentive care.
"Almost done now."
Confirming that the water splashing all over her body had stopped and the sounds had ceased, Aurelius removed the stopper.
"Good job."
Aurelius wiped Magnolia's body with a large, soft cloth.
It felt nice, but something seemed odd.
"Shouldn't you use your hands to wipe?"
"I dried it off beforehand, before adding a drying breeze."
"If that's the case, is it impossible to dry me using a cleaning board?"
"Maybe it's possible, but right now, I want to touch Magnolia's body, so it's just a personal desire."
"If that's how you feel, you could just say so and touch me as much as you want."
"No, if I don't make excuses, I might lose to my desires. Today, I'll just talk to Magnolia and go to sleep without doing anything. Otherwise, my plans will get messed up."
"It's okay to lose sometimes."
"Well then, just this."
Mwa
Aurelius lightly kissed her.
"No, that's not enough. I want more."
Mwa, mwa, slurp, slurp-slurp—
Magnolia embraced him tightly and passionately kissed him.
Magnolia had settled down, so the two of them sat together on the bed. Both were dressed for sleep.
"How about the 'Jade Pot' then?"
"No matter how you ask, as someone who can't use magic, I wouldn't understand anything about it.
It was indeed a beautiful pot, but I have no idea of its worth."
Magnolia didn't understand what Aurelius was expecting. There was no way she could discern anything just by looking at an pot.
"I want to know how many times you've seen it."
"No matter how many times I look, it would be the same. Besides, he…"
"That's not it, Magnolia. You went to see the pot."
Aurelius pulled Magnolia closer, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.
"Ah…"
With that forcefulness, Magnolia understood what Aurelius was trying to convey.
Now, Magnolia spoke calmly.
It was because she had received semen in her uterus.
In other words, Magnolia had sex with that fortune teller. Knowing that, Aurelius pretended not to know and just mentioned seeing the pot.
In other words, Magnolia hadn't had sex and just wanted to see the pot. Of course, Aurelius claimed to understand everything.
"Yes, that's right. I went to see the pot."
"So, how many times did you see it?"
He probably wanted to know how many times she had sex. No, it seemed he wanted to know how many times she had received ejaculations in her pussy.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Magnolia now seems unable to get pregnant no matter how many times she receives semen, so there is no worry about bearing strange children. Since Aurelius said so, there should be no mistake.
"Four times. I saw it four times."
"I see, four times."
With that, Aurelius fell silent.
His expression was more contemplative and disappointed than angry.
"What's wrong, Aurelius?"
"No, it's just that the number I had in mind wasn't enough. I heard he also deals with medicine."
"What kind of medicine? I don't know about such things."
"It's medicine for men. I heard he uses it too, but well, there's nothing we can do about it."
Later, it was said that the fortune teller used a medicine to enhance male virility.
Using that medicine supposedly allows one to perform lightly up to five times. Despite this, the fortune teller managed only four times, which seemed to disappoint Aurelius.
"Magnolia, I have a favor to ask. Would you listen?"
"What is it? If it's Aurelius's request, I'll listen to anything. Please tell me without hesitation."
It appears Aurelius has a difficult request.
"Tomorrow night, I want you to go see the pot again."
"Eh, are you serious?"
Magnolia widened her eyes in surprise. She wanted to refuse, but Aurelius seemed so serious that she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I am serious."
"You want me to go see the pot?"
"Yes, that's right."
Aurelius also said to go to the fortune teller's and be embraced again tomorrow.
He wants someone else to embrace Magnolia, who loves Aurelius so much.
"Is Aurelius okay with that?"
"Not really.
While Magnolia was away, I felt so miserable that I almost went crazy.
Knowing she was with him looking at the pot, I felt pathetic for being helpless. I don't know how many times I tried to stop it.
But doing nothing would lead to the best outcome for me, so I somehow endured it.
That's why I was truly happy when Magnolia came back.
And then I understood.
For me, happiness is having Magnolia.
Just having Magnolia by my side makes me happy, no matter what happens.
Therefore, Magnolia must see the pot with the fortune teller in the room once again."
With a pained expression, Aurelius said this, and Magnolia had no choice but to comply.
"I don't fully understand, but for Aurelius's sake, I suppose I should see the pot with the fortune teller again."
"Understood, I'll do it.
But remember, I truly love only Aurelius.
Please don't forget that."
"I understand.
I love Magnolia too.
No matter where or what we do."
They embraced each other and exchanged kisses.
Then, they nestled together and fell asleep.
Morning came, and Aurelius went to the dining hall alone. He approached the fortune teller, who was sitting by herself in her usual spot.
"Good morning."
"Eh, UMM, good morning," the fortune teller replied, startled.
"Thank you for showing Magnolia that lovely pot last night."
"It was nothing special, really. I only showed her the pot."
The fortune teller seemed ready to flee, looking for a chance to escape.
"She was very pleased. She said she'd love to see it again. If possible, could you show it to her tonight? I'd love to see it too, but I suppose that's not allowed for magicians, right?"
"Um, well…"
The fortune teller pondered what Aurelius wanted.
If Aurelius truly thought Magnolia only looked at the pot, it was simple. He could embrace her again tonight.
If he knew about last night's encounter with Magnolia and still wanted to go tonight, there were two possibilities.
Either Aurelius didn't mind his lover being with another man, perhaps even welcomed it. In that case, the fortune teller could embrace her freely.
Or, if Aurelius demanded money upon discovering his lover with another man, the fortune teller could claim the pot lost its magic and charge a hefty fee. If Aurelius intended to use force, he would have done so last night.
Aurelius could read the fortune teller's thoughts from her eyes and lips.
"Understood. I'll show it to Magnolia alone tonight. Please come again tonight."
"Thank you, she'll be delighted," Aurelius said, extending his hand for a handshake, which the fortune teller accepted.
"Oh, one more thing," Aurelius suddenly remembered. "I also liked the pot. We're leaving town tomorrow. Could you sell it to me before we leave?"
"Oh, you'd like to buy the pot? Thank you. It's twenty gold coins, is that alright?"
The fortune teller beamed.
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely buy it."
As he watched Aurelius leave, the fortune teller smirked. Even without seeing, Aurelius could sense it. Though it displeased him, he maintained a calm demeanor for the necessary transaction.
After finishing dinner, Magnolia returned to her room. She washed herself using the washboard and then put on a short yukata.
"Aurelius, I'm going."
"Alright, go ahead."
Magnolia left her room and knocked on the door of the fortune teller's room at the far end.
Knock, knock, knock.
"It's open."
The fortune teller's voice came from inside.
"I'm coming in."
When Magnolia entered, she saw the fortune teller sitting there in just a shirt and boxers. His cock was already erect.
"Coming again today? You must really like mine."
The fortune teller stood up and grabbed Magnolia's breasts over her yukata.
"Don't flatter yourself. Why would I like someone like you?"
"Then why did you come? It's not like your boyfriend recommended it."
"I can't tell you the reason. Do you really want to know that badly? It could be life-threatening."
"Got it, I won't ask. You're quite dangerous, ojou-san. But you want it tonight, don't you?"
The fortune teller slid his hand under Magnolia's short yukata. She wasn't wearing anything underneath.
"Oh, nothing on? You're really eager."
"Uuh—"
He quickly tried to insert his fingers inside her. He brought his face closer, but Magnolia pushed it away.
"Did you forget? I said no lips."
"Oh, right. I almost forgot. I didn't mean any harm, you'll forgive me, right?"
"Uuh, UUuh—"
His fingers moved inside her, stimulating Magnolia.
"I-I understand."
When Magnolia spoke, the fortune teller released her breasts and untied his belt. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he pushed her down.
The fortune teller's gesture made it clear what he wanted. Obediently, Magnolia knelt on the floor.
"This is fine, isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Even as she said this, Magnolia lowered the fortune teller's boxers. As expected, his cock was fully erect.
"What are you trying to do with this?"
Magnolia grabbed his cock and began to stroke it with her hand.
"Not with your hand."
The fortune teller took Magnolia's hand and pushed it, along with his cock, to her mouth.
Mwah, slurp, ummph
Magnolia kissed the tip of his cock, licked it with her tongue, and then took it into her mouth.
"You know what to do. Just be obedient, ojou-san."
Magnolia glared at the fortune teller while sucking his cock, finding his smirk irritating. Despite her annoyance, she began to pleasure him with her mouth.
Tsu', tsu', tsu'—
Magnolia's lips tightened around his cock as she moved up and down.
