Side Story: Lynx ② ※
“I wonder who carved this into you, Lynx?”
“…I won’t tell an elf.”
“Hmm… would that be your boss?”
“Nya! How did you know?!”
Lynx was visibly shaken.
She accidentally slipped into the verbal tic she’d been forced to adopt in the Union, and clamped her mouth shut, realizing her mistake.
“You’re easy to read.”
“…You’re saying the same thing as Aquila.”
“Aquila?”
“My colleague… though I think she’s probably dead now.”
“Hmph, now that you mention it, I never asked who defeated you. Who was your opponent?”
Lynx recalled the fight when Jiliora asked.
A boy with a plain face, black hair, and golden eyes.
A merciless monster who hurled a small, pure white sun.
“Sharka de Ortenos.”
“Oh, someone from the House of Ortenos, is it?”
“That guy suddenly hit me with long-range bombardment magic, nya! He must be crazy, nya!”
Lynx felt a slight sense of kinship towards Sharka, but she reaffirmed her belief that nobles and Heroes were incompatible.
Even nobles wouldn’t unleash such merciless firepower upon meeting someone for the first time.
“Hmm?”
Jiliora tilted her head at Lynx’s words.
Long-range bombardment magic was for siege warfare.
It was so specialized for area attacks that it was difficult to break through a Hero’s magic resistance with it alone.
When Jiliora found her, Lynx was completely charred.
She barely managed to save her life with Healing Magic, but she would have certainly died if left as she was.
(Could mere long-range bombardment magic really do that?)
Perhaps if it were Meteor Ray, Ortenos’s signature attack magic that released Magical Power with ultra-high density.
But Lynx didn’t seem to be mistaken, and it would be difficult to burn the entire body so evenly with Meteor Ray.
Jiliora became interested in the noble named Sharka de Ortenos.
“Jiliora, I appreciate you saving me, but I want you to let me go.”
“Hmm, what should I do?”
“Please, my family is worried.”
“If that’s the case, I suppose I have no choice.”
“You understand… Nyaa!?”
Just as Lynx was about to thank her, Magical Power began to gather within Jiliora’s body.
Jiliora concentrated Magical Power into the fingers of her right hand and thrust them into Lynx’s Tanden.
“It hurts…! Wh-What are you doing…!”
Lynx, caught off guard, found herself unable to move due to the unknown attack.
The next moment, Jiliora directly poured Magical Power into Lynx’s Tanden, and her body began to heat up intensely.
“Haa…! Unh…!”
“I feel bad for your boss, but I’ll be making good use of this Curse-Seal.”
In women, the Tanden corresponds to the uterus.
Jiliora’s delicate Magical Power gently permeated her, gradually stimulating her erogenous zones.
“Ahn… ahn… auu… st-stop… stop it, nyaaa…”
“It’s okay, I won’t do anything bad to you. Trust me, Lynx.”
Jiliora’s words didn’t reach Lynx’s ears.
The fog that constantly clouded Lynx’s mind was washed away by the pleasure.
With each surge of ecstasy, Lynx’s body twitched.
“Iiii! …No… I can’t take any more…”
“Yes, yes, it’s being replaced smoothly. Now for the final spurt, hang in there a little longer.”
Jiliora nodded in satisfaction at the Curse-Seal being successfully replaced with her own Magical Power, and increased the output even further.
Intense, minute vibrations were sent from the inside towards Lynx’s private parts.
Even as a Hero, she had no Magical Power of her own, so Lynx had no resistance to having Magical Power exerted on her from the inside.
“Hyaaah! …I-I can’t… I’m gonna… I’m gonna cum…! Ah…”
Her resistance was futile, and Lynx let out a cry of ecstasy, arching her back beautifully.
Lynx couldn’t withstand the gradually narrowing intervals of uterine spasms (orgasm).
Dark stains began to appear on the shorts she was wearing, and soon a lake was formed by the urine that overflowed from the gaps in the fabric.
Lynx was currently sixteen years old.
She remembered when her four-year-old sister had wet herself as a child and asked Lynx for help.
At that time, she had thought, “Oh, well,” and taken care of her as an older sister.
But now that was…
“…Uu… I can’t get married anymore…”
“Good work, Lynx. Rest well.”
“…Sigh…”
Lynx, covered in shame, slowly lost consciousness.
Jiliora was satisfied with the successful control of the Curse-Seal Magic.
“‘A promise must be kept,’ huh? Honestly, what’s with the Union’s Hero imitating an elf?”
Jiliora traced the ancient characters drawn on Lynx’s Tanden with her finger, reading them aloud to herself.
There was a hint of irritation in her expression.
“…Well, whatever. I got a useful pawn, so I’ll leave the Union alone for a while.”
After hesitating for a moment, Jiliora decided that thinking about the Union’s boss was a low priority.
“Considering what’s going to happen in the Imperial Capital, it’s obvious what that child will do. Honestly, I’m really troubled by my foolish sister’s wanderlust…”
Jiliora held her head in her hands and began to tamper with Lynx’s Curse-Seal.

“Hau…”
When Lynx woke up next, she was lying at the entrance to the forest.
It was probably the Mist Forest between Ortenatris and Elsticani in the Erschein territory.
“I think I… uu…”
A vague memory of a very embarrassing experience resurfaced.
For some reason, her lower abdomen heated up when she tried to remember.
Fortunately, or perhaps not, she couldn’t remember clearly as if her head was in a fog.
The only thing she was sure of was that different words had been imprinted in her mind than before.
‘Search for an elven girl named Rafaela Dispiola, and if you find her, break this gem. And monitor the movements of Sharka de Ortenos.’
The face of the girl who spoke those words was blurry and she couldn’t remember it.
However, Lynx was wearing a necklace with a bright red gem that she didn’t recognize.
It was probably related to the newly overwritten orders.
“I’m being used by someone again, nya…”
She was born with great power by chance.
But she still didn’t have Magical Power.
Therefore, she would be exploited as conveniently as possible by beings with Magical Power.
“I’m so tired of this kind of life, nya…”
Her activities as a Hero had severely worn down Lynx’s heart.
Infiltrating noble territories as a spy and obtaining various information was no easy task.
She had been discovered by nobles and barely escaped with her life more than once or twice.
And this time, she really thought she was going to die.
She might die of shock if she met that monster again.
“I’m sure my mom and Mina are waiting for me in Ortenatris… uu… I’m scared, nya…”
Unfortunately for Lynx, the town where her family lived was Ortenatris.
It was the home of the noble who had traumatized her.
Although she was filled with anxiety, Lynx trudged towards Ortenatris.
