Chapter 108: I’m... Actually Having Lewd Thoughts?

Okay, so in the previous Chapter, I got assaulted by my own comrades and had to sleep outside like a stray dog... Well, not that I have a home right now anyway.

But I did end up spending the night using Jorō’s lap as a pillow. Soft, warm, and surprisingly peaceful—if we’re ignoring those haunting voices in my dreams.

Oh, and I also learned she’s a psychopath.

Fun.

Anyway, just as the sun—actually, no sun here—was beginning to rise, I told her to go get some proper rest back in the Shadow Realm.

...Ah! I forgot to ask how she escaped from there in the first place!

Well, too late now—Levi’s already walking up. I’ll scold myself later.

"And to what do I owe the visit?" I asked, pretending to be annoyed, arms folded.

"Forgive me, Master Raven!" Levi bowed quickly, her eyes already starting to shimmer. "I overreacted, I admit it. I even dragged the other girls into it."

"Wait—aren’t you confessing a little too easily?!"

I sighed.

When I agreed to take her to Pison, I expected way more trouble than this. But hey, at least she’s acknowledging her mistake.

"Alright, I forgive you," I said. "But only because you told the truth. Don’t ever assault me again. Got it?"

A single tear slid down her cheek.

Okay, now she’s just being dramatic!

"No, Master Raven!" she suddenly shouted. "I deserve to be punished for that heinous crime! Punish me!"

Heinous?!

"Eh? Uh, even if you say that..."

How am I even supposed to punish her? Nothing I do would really affect her. She’s Leviathan, after all.

Sigh.

"O...Okay." I felt awkward just saying it. "I’ll punish you, so c-close your eyes."

She brightened instantly, closed her eyes, and puckered her lips.

What the hell is she expecting?

Anyway, I gave her a light knock on the forehead.

"Kyaaahhh! Master Raven assaulted me!" she cried out dramatically, instantly flopping backward like I’d shot her a high-level attack spell.

She was on the ground pretending to be hurt, and I was standing there... red-faced.

Not because she fell.

It’s not like I find her cute when she falls or anything...

It’s just that...

What I saw—I couldn’t look away from it, even if I tried.

I mean, this was my first time seeing one this close. Ever.

Even the wolfkin women in my terrorist grou— I mean, former unit—my elite team—I avoided looking at them that way. I made sure I kept things proper and professional, despite their futile attempts to seduce me.

But now, right before my eyes, filled with all the virtue of a solid virgin... Levi’s "handkerchief" had flown up.

"Leviathan—"

"Ahhh! Master Raven! How could you call me that?" she squealed, flustered for all the wrong reasons.

"...Why are you not... wearing any?"

She blinked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Wearing any? Oh! You mean that small piece of cloth Alicia ties around her lower half?"

She waved it off with a giggle.

"I prefer to keep it bare like this. I feel less restricted that way. And besides, if you ever give in to your carnal urges, I’ll have easier access to mate with y— Hm? Master Raven? Are you alright? Your eyes look... glassy."

She started spewing nonsense...

Meanwhile, I, who had never known a woman since birth—a colossal virgin among virgins—was staring into the abyss of a new, yet, terrifying world, just inches away from my grasp.

GULP!

Oh no.

My body... It’s betraying me.

Lewd thoughts?

I’m... actually having lewd thoughts?

Me?

I am... I am craving that which should remain forbidden.

And as I struggled to lift my eyes away from the indecent spectacle laid bare before me, I thought to myself, defeated:

’I really shouldn’t have let Jorō leave... should I?’

Levi, as if sensing my crumbling resistance, grinned—slow, deliberate—and started moving her body across the ground in a way I can precisely describe as... serpentine. Seductive. And very dangerous.

"Master Raven..." she murmured. "It’s absolutely acceptable. If you want to ravage me..."

No... don’t say things like that. Not now...

"Is it this place? This sweet spot you’re aching for?" she whispered, voice sultry. "It’s alright, Master Raven. You’re a man, at any rate. A great man! Don’t worry about the others—it’ll be... Our. Little. Secret."

"..."

Mhm.

I’m going to attack her at this rate.

There’s only one way out of this—

PLATFORM!

{You called, Master?}

(I so did?! By some absurd twist of fate, I’ve been cornered by a crisis.)

{But Master, I believed this was your dream?}

(Shut it! My dream is to fool around with beautiful women in Pison—not lose my innocence in some alternate dimension!)

{Master, your priorities seem... scrambled. Nonetheless, I will assist.}

(You will?! I mean, you can?!)

{Indeed. If Master permit it, I can assume control of your vessel and manage the situation...proficiently.}

(?)

What’s with that small pause?

(I don’t really get all that, but okay... I mean, I want to experience that sort of thing someday—but not like this! Levi’s way too forceful. So, fix my situation!)

{Understood.}

As soon as I gave the mental nod, a wave of darkness swept through my consciousness.

My mind faded...

...and I slipped into sleep, without resistance nor grace.

.....

LEVINA

Tsk. Another perfectly laid plan—ruined.

What am I doing wrong?

Yesterday, Alicia, Tamayō, and I watched Master Raven doting on the others... while we were completely ignored.

We said nothing at the time. I assumed guilt would eventually weigh on his conscience, opening a window for us to slip in.

But it seems I was presumptuous.

And of course, that meddling upstart—Jorō—had to interfere.

"Grrrh!!" Alicia growled. "CURSE THAT SPIDER!"

The screech was so loud and sharp, you’d never believe it came from cute little Alicia.

"Alicia, calm yourself," I told her. "Let’s give it two weeks. After that, we can deliver her punishment properly."

Tamayō, meanwhile, was trembling—visibly distraught, on the verge of tears.

"What have I done..." she whispered. "Now... the Supreme Lord must hate me. I’m sure of it. I’ve made a huge mistake—overstepped my place again... like a fool."

Alicia and I exchanged a quick glance.

She sighed, hesitant at first, then gently rubbed Tamayō’s head.

"Look, that is untrue," Alicia said. "Certainly, we did trouble Ruby a little today—but he’s not the type to hold grudges, alright? We can always try again later."

I squinted with a wry smile. "Maybe we should just stop attacking him altogether?"

Tamayō sniffled. "...It’s both of your faults," she muttered.

"Huh?!" Alicia flinched.

Tamayō continued, tears rolling down. "If I hadn’t listened to either of you, the Supreme Lord would not be upset with me right now!"

Alicia immediately grabbed her fox ears and tail, tugging. "You ungrateful little rat! After everything—I even let you lay your grimy paws on my Ruby!"

Tamayō stayed curled up on the grass bed, still sobbing.

’Well, it was my plan, in the first place... let me console her.’

So, I stepped away from the door and walked toward Tamayō.
