Chapter 14: Giving Up Way Too Soon
After laughing my fill and catching my breath, I spoke to Ms. Cécile, only for her to stare back at me, her earlier composure completely gone, replaced by an expression stained with despair.
Seriously, giving up this quickly when things are just getting started?
“Y-You… You’ve been deceiving me all this time, haven’t you!? Pretending to be weak while vigilantly waiting for the chance to degrade me into a slave, you utter scumbag!! Even if you toy with this body, don’t you dare think you can capture my heart! Someday, I will absolutely Dispel this enslaved state, and I’ll slit your throat in your sleep and kill you!!”
“No, seriously, keeping such a rebellious slave around sounds terrifying. Of course I don’t want that. There’s no benefit, so I’m just going to have to refuse, you know?”
“I knew it, I knew it. That’s how you drown in carnal desire… Huh?”
And then, for some reason, Ms. Cécile started talking as if she fully expected to live on as my slave, glaring at me like I was the enemy of all women. So when I plainly refused, she just stared at me with an expression of utter disbelief.
I mean, considering the possibility that enslaving Ms. Cécile, who’s popular with male students and teachers alike, might get found out, it could easily lead to trouble down the line. No matter how I look at it, there are really only downsides.
Admittedly, if you asked if I wanted her as a partner for the night, I would. But there’s no particular need for it to be Ms. Cécile.
After all, brothels exist. My mental age isn’t so young that I’d jump at immediate desires and make a choice that saddles me with huge disadvantages.
“No, no, no! Can’t you see this perfected Physical Beauty? Or is your thing useless? Or perhaps… you swing that way? If that’s the case, I suppose it can’t be helped, but…”
“I like women perfectly normally, so don’t get any strange ideas.”
“Then in that case, why won’t you satisfy those desires with my body?! It’s strange not to make a move when faced with such perfect beauty right before your eyes!! Make your move! Assault me!!”
“No, Ms. Cécile, normally you’d be the one resisting this, right? Why are you trying to get me to attack you? Anyway, this is getting annoying, so I’ll Dispel the enslavement and the restraints.”
From the start, I was merely provoking Ms. Cécile out of curiosity, just wanting to take this Haughty Elf Instructor down a peg and see her reaction.
Satisfying my own desires comes second if it means I have to shoulder disadvantages.
Besides, even if I Dispel the enslavement and Ms. Cécile goes around spreading rumors like, ‘He got the better of me! That guy is hiding his true strength!’, nobody would likely pay her any mind anyway.
