When I came back to where everyone was after the negotiations were over, I saw Natalia, who was supposed to have run off the other day. I hadn't seen her since she ran away, but apparently she had followed us right after that.
Since Elle had only heroes to talk to, so maybe on the surface she and her on good terms as fellows girl. She was talking with the others as if nothing had happened, but when I looked at her, I remembered the incident from the other day and felt a subtle feeling.
「I thought you might be in need of a place to stay today, so I've rented you a nice hut. It's bigger than my house, so there's room for all of us.」
「I see, that's very kind of you.」
The hut Natalia showed us was bigger than her house, and it was certainly big enough to accommodate all of us. Now we wouldn't have to stay in the field anymore.
Incidentally, the elf who had given us all a lift was no longer there. When I asked her about him, she said that he was a priest, but his job was mainly to take care of the High Elves, since they actually existed.
I told Alec and the others what I had said today and that I would be back tomorrow. They are relieved to know that although it hasn't been officially decided yet, it is almost certain.
「However, His Majesty has ordered us to form an alliance with all of Leshiana, is that really a good idea?」
「It will not be a problem. If the High Elves are on our side, then the Wood Elves will definitely be on our side. In human terms, it's as if the gods they believe in have joined the kingdom.」
「I see, I guess we'll be fine then.」
After a tasteless dinner, I decided to go to bed quickly to recover my magic power. After activating the hostile intent detecting magic tool for security, I jumped into bed and fell asleep.
※
In my slumber, I suddenly felt something hit my mouth. It entered my mouth as if to pry open my lips. It reached out and licked my tongue at the sweet smell and taste, and it twirled with my movements.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw Natalia's face filling my blurry vision. It seemed that it was her tongue that was intertwining with mine.
She noticed that I was awake, too, and squinted her eyes happily and sent some liquid my way. It was sweet for some reason, and I instinctively slurped it up and darted my tongue into her mouth to lick up everything inside.
Eventually, we pulled our mouths apart and I could see her face, her cheeks stained with rut. I wondered why I hadn't embraced such a good woman before, I must have been a terrible fool.
「Fufu, how was it? Did it make you want to do more?」
As I watched her smile lasciviously, I felt the desire to conquer her, to make her mine. Yes, she's asking me, so it's my duty as a man to hold her as she desires.
As I was about to embrace her, the <Awake>, a magic I had set to auto-activate, was triggered. At that moment, the haze in my head disappeared and I was able to recognize the current situation correctly.
It seems that I was in heat because of something she did to me, and I was about to embrace her. I don't have the vice of attacking a woman just because she is sleepwalking. First of all, she must have done something to me.
Natalia was a little surprised when she saw that reason had returned to my eyes, but she immediately smiled and stretched out on top of me.
「Oi, Natalia. What the hell did you do to me?」
「It's the Yard's fault, you know. You wouldn't let me hold you, so I used a potion to make you want to. I didn't think a human could keep his wits about it, but now we can have some fun together.」
「A potion ......?」
「It's an elven aphrodisiac. It's actually a potion for elves with a low libido, and the smell of the opposite sex puts them in the same state as an elf in heat. It's the kind of thing that would make a normal human lose all reason and attack.」
So this intense tingling in my body is due to the aphrodisiac. The elf's mental strength is monstrous, to be able to maintain reason even in this state.
She rubs my cock between her legs and presses her body against mine. My body is reacting to the smell of her up close. My cock is already on the warpath.
I can't concentrate properly, but I manage to activate the <Hypnotic>. I thought that I could stop Natalia's movement, but at that moment, somehow the effect of the spell cancelation was activated on her, and it was instantly nullified.
She looked a little surprised, but I was even more surprised. I wondered why the spell cancelation had been triggered, and when I looked closer, I saw that she had a familiar bracelet on her arm. It was the one I had the heroes wear on their arms.
She seemed to have noticed my gaze and tried to hide the bracelet from me.
「I was a little surprised that you would suddenly use magic in such a state.」
「You, that bracelet is ......」
「I borrowed it. I even had a kind person tell me what it does.」
Even if you say who, the only people who know the detailed effects are Elle and the hero. The timing of the conversation was when I came back from the High Elf's place. I don't know who it was, but why did you told her?
I tried to cancel it with a <Dispel>, but I couldn't choose a target that wasn't in my sight, so there was nothing I could do.
「Kuhh, I don't know what I'm going to do with this. ......」
「Don't worry, you won't regret it.」
When she noticed that my thing was getting hard, she exposed her lower half and took off my clothes. I tried to resist as much as I could, but the smell of a female in heat from her took away my will to resist.
When she took off my underwear, I could see my cock, hardening and warping. She straddles me, presses it against her secret and begins to rub it slowly. Her smooth skin is slippery thanks to her love juices, and it gives me a different kind of pleasure than insertion.
「How about it, Yard? Are you tempted to put it in?」
「Stop, it's not too late. ......」
「You're not ready for that yet? I can't help it. ......」
She put a liquid that looked like an aphrodisiac in her mouth and transferred it to my mouth. I tried to close my mouth, but that sweet smell made it impossible for me to refuse her tongue. I continue to drink the aphrodisiac she sends me.
I start to feel dazed again, but more importantly, the tingling in my body becomes unbearable. I lifted Natalia's hips, which our mouth were still attached , and thrust my cock into her vaginal hole.
「Mmmhh! Mmmm, nnhhuh!」
She can't scream because she's kissing me, but she's making noises in her mouth as she flicks her tongue at me. I couldn't contain my excitement at the fact that I was fucking her top and bottom at the same time, so I moved my hips to make her moan more.
It's a bit of an uncomfortable position, but I don't care, I keep stirring inside her. Perhaps it was because she was also excited by the aphrodisiac, but her vagina was so hot that I thought it would melt. I could see that she was also far more aroused than usual due to the aphrodisiac.
I fucked her, no longer able to reason with her, and the aphrodisiac's heightened arousal made me cum inside her immediately.
As I pulled out my cock, I could see the semen leaking out of her. The sight is so indecent that it makes my cock react and get erect again.
「Semen is coming out. ...... So this is how I'm going to have your baby. ......」
It may not be possible to do it in one shot yet, but that's not the point, I have to deal with this sexual desire now. The tingling in my body has not yet subsided, so I need her to do her best. I lifted her up quickly and she looked a little surprised.
「Y-you're going to do that already? Let me rest a bit. ......」
「Do you think you'll have time to rest? You'll have to take responsibility for drugging me.」
I lifted her off of me and put her on all fours. Then, I thrust my cock into her vagina, which was still full of semen, from behind.
「Aaahhhh! It's coming in!」
「I'm going to stir your insides now, and I'm going to cum inside you until you're pregnant.」
「I'm so happy, poke my cunt some more! I want you to stir it up with Yard's stick and impregnate me!」
I slammed my hips into her, trying to get her pregnant, and she swayed her hips in time with my movements.
I wondered if this was another effect of the drug, but I could feel her womb descending as if her body was ready to conceive a child, and I could feel the tip of my cock against her cervix.
「You're a helpless whore, asking another man out when you have a husband!」
「I'd rather be with Yard than with him! I want to have your baby!」
「I'm going to impregnate you, so be prepared!」
「I'm so happy! Please let me have your baby!」
The exchange of words alone was enough to excite me, but her insides felt even better than the first time. I can already feel the second ejaculation approaching as I feel her tightening and twisting around my cock.
「Natalia, I'm coming inside you again!」
「Come, pour it all inside me!」
When I heard those words, I couldn't hold back any longer, so I pressed the tip of my cock against her cervix and ejaculated vigorously. This is the second time I've done this, and I feel so much semen coming out of me that I wonder where I've been getting so much of it.
As I pull out my cock, the remaining semen splashes onto her back and buttocks. The semen on her flushed skin looks so glamorous. My cock is still hard as if I can still do it.
※
After that, I held her several times until the effects of the aphrodisiac wore off, and it was almost dawn when I finally collapsed from exhaustion.
Natalia was also exhausted and fell asleep with my arm as a pillow, but Elle, who came to wake me up, saw me sleeping with Natalia.
Thanks to this, I had to work hard to get Elle in a good mood.
※
The next day, of course, there was no way I could cover up what had happened yesterday, so Sagami called me and Natalia to talk about it.
He had warned me that this might happen, and it turned out just as he had said. I hadn't expected her to use drugs either, and I regret my lack of caution.
「For crying out loud, I warned you not to let this happen, but it seems to have been in vain.」
Natalia was leaning against me and smiling, seemingly oblivious to Sagami's advice. It seems that she was that happy about what happened yesterday.
「Oh, right, right. I'll give you back the bracelet I borrowed from you.」
When Natalia handed over the bracelet, Sagami took it with a slight scowl on his face. The bracelet belonged to him, but from the looks of it, he doesn't know how she got it, but it looks like Natalia took it without permission.
「...... For some reason, I thought I'd never find it, but I didn't realize that Natalia-dono had stolen it.」
「How rude, I'm not steal it, I was just borrowing it. And thanks to that bracelet, I was able to have a sex with Yard. Thank you.」
「Sagami-dono, why did she take the bracelet? And did you tell her how the bracelet works?」
「Even if you say that. I didn't tell her about the effects of the bracelet either.」
「It was Elle who told me what the bracelet did.」
Elle, huh? She's a bit of a loudmouth. She doesn't keep her promises to me, and I think she needs to be taught a lesson.
「Anyway, Natalia, did you hear what I just said? If you hadn't seduced Yard-dono, none of this would have happened in the first place.」
Sagami muttered with a sigh as he put on his bracelet, but Natalia showed no remorse. I thought she had a more decent personality when I first met her, but it seems I was wrong.
「It's the nature of elves to be attracted to the strong, you know? And since Yard already accepted me, it's not your business anymore.」」
「If you're an elf, you probably have the mental strength to not let your instincts get the better of you. And don't you feel sorry for your husband, Levin-dono? How would he feel if he knew that his wife was being unfaithful to him when he was attacked by bandits and didn't know if she was alive or dead?」
「I'm leaving that man. He's just a man who tried to run away without me when he was attacked. I don't care about him anymore because Yard is a much more attractive man than him.」
I just watched the two of them arguing as if I were a stranger.
In the first place, I was just caught up in Natalia's outburst, and what I did with her was unavoidable. I didn't ask her to leave her husband, and I don't remember trying to sleep with her of my own volition.
I should just lay low and wait for their fight to end. That's what I was thinking, but then the story came to me.
「What are you going to do now, Yard-dono? If you've done something with her, even if it's by force majeure, you have to take responsibility for it.」
「Well, I'm sure I'll have a baby after what he did to me, so I'll just have to ask him to marry me.」
「...... Wait a minute. It's true that I did it. But it was because of the drugs, not because I wanted to. Even if you want me to take responsibility, I don't want to hear you say that when I have no intention of taking her.」
Sagami frowned when he heard my words. By his standard he may think I should take responsibility, but you should put yourself in the shoes of the people involved.
Then Natalia heard my words and clung to me with a face like she was about to cry.
「No way! We made love so intensely, and now you said it was a mistake!」
「Calm down, Natalia. It was your fault, wasn't it?」
「Yard, you said you wanted me to have your baby!」
Natalia replied to my words in a tearful voice. Sagami shook his head as if he was in over his head and quickly left. I'm sure it's because he doesn't want to get involved in a lovers' quarrel like this anyway, but I don't think she should do that after collecting them herself.
Anyway, it turned out to be troublesome. It seems that the others have already heard about what happened yesterday, so it's not just a matter of erasing Natalia's memory anymore. I had no choice but to make up her mind and put a <Thought-GuidingGuidepost> on Natalia.
「Natalia, listen to me. I did not mean to deny what I did to you or anything like that.」
「Then what did you mean by that?」
「I'm going to take responsibility for what I did to you. So why don't you wait a little while? I'm a bit confused after yesterday.」
「Really? Are you sure you'll take responsibility?」
「Yes, I will.」
「...... Okay.」
I'll hold off on Natalia for now. Maybe I can make it go away, but Natalia's obsession is also quite strong, so that seems unlikely.
After she calmed down, I went back to my room to prepare the magic stone for the High Elves. It was a huge one, about seven centimeters in diameter, that I had prepared for use in case of emergency. Natural magic stones require hundreds to thousands of years to grow one centimeter in size. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find a natural stone of this size.
In this world, it is a gem that would be a national treasure, but I don't appreciate it at all, because I could make it in a few hours with artificial magic stones. Rather than the magic stones themselves, it is Lucia who is making them that is far more important.
The number of High Elves is said to be seven, but there are ten magic stones here. I think I'll have to ask Lucia to make some more for me.
Just making one of these will put a lot of strain on her, so we can't mass produce too many, but it can't be helped. To ease her burden, I'll have to start preparing other people as well.
「Master, everyone is ready to go.」
As I finished preparing the magic stone, Elle came to call me. The three heroes and Elle are the only ones who are going. The reason Elle is coming with me is because she will be in charge of maintaining the wards while I use my magic on the high elves.
To be honest, if Alec wasn't here, there would be no need to take him with us, but since he is our representative, he has to be here when we sign the official contract. What a hassle.
「All right, I'll be right there, just wait for me.」
「Yes, sir.」
Elle walked into my room and sat down on my bed. The sheets have already been changed, so I don't think there are any traces left from yesterday, but she doesn't seem to like it.
「Master, I'd like to talk to you about Natalia. ......」
「What's up?」
「Are you going to take her back to your residence in the capital after your mission here is over?」
What should I do? It's not that I hadn't thought about it at all, but what about taking her back like this? There's a good chance that her husband is still alive, and it's one idea to have her come to the capital.
「For now, I'll put her matter on hold. Don't tell too many people about it.」
「Don't worry, I can only talk to elves.」
Even if you tell me not to worry, I can't trust you because of your record.
I withheld my answer, but she seemed to be able to put it behind her for the moment. If it comes to it, I'm thinking of messing with her memory. I don't have anything against Natalia, but I also prefer to have as little trouble as possible.

When I came back to where everyone was after the negotiations were over, I saw Natalia, who was supposed to have run off the other day. I hadn't seen her since she ran away, but apparently she had followed us right after that.
Since Elle had only heroes to talk to, so maybe on the surface she and her on good terms as fellows girl. She was talking with the others as if nothing had happened, but when I looked at her, I remembered the incident from the other day and felt a subtle feeling.
「I thought you might be in need of a place to stay today, so I've rented you a nice hut. It's bigger than my house, so there's room for all of us.」
「I see, that's very kind of you.」
The hut Natalia showed us was bigger than her house, and it was certainly big enough to accommodate all of us. Now we wouldn't have to stay in the field anymore.

I told Alec and the others what I had said today and that I would be back tomorrow. They are relieved to know that although it hasn't been officially decided yet, it is almost certain.
「However, His Majesty has ordered us to form an alliance with all of Leshiana, is that really a good idea?」
「It will not be a problem. If the High Elves are on our side, then the Wood Elves will definitely be on our side. In human terms, it's as if the gods they believe in have joined the kingdom.」
「I see, I guess we'll be fine then.」
After a tasteless dinner, I decided to go to bed quickly to recover my magic power. After activating the hostile intent detecting magic tool for security, I jumped into bed and fell asleep.

As I was about to embrace her, the <Awake>, a magic I had set to auto-activate, was triggered. At that moment, the haze in my head disappeared and I was able to recognize the current situation correctly.
It seems that I was in heat because of something she did to me, and I was about to embrace her. I don't have the vice of attacking a woman just because she is sleepwalking. First of all, she must have done something to me.
Natalia was a little surprised when she saw that reason had returned to my eyes, but she immediately smiled and stretched out on top of me.
「Oi, Natalia. What the hell did you do to me?」

I can't concentrate properly, but I manage to activate the <Hypnotic>. I thought that I could stop Natalia's movement, but at that moment, somehow the effect of the spell cancelation was activated on her, and it was instantly nullified.
She looked a little surprised, but I was even more surprised. I wondered why the spell cancelation had been triggered, and when I looked closer, I saw that she had a familiar bracelet on her arm. It was the one I had the heroes wear on their arms.

「Kuhh, I don't know what I'm going to do with this. ......」
「Don't worry, you won't regret it.」
When she noticed that my thing was getting hard, she exposed her lower half and took off my clothes. I tried to resist as much as I could, but the smell of a female in heat from her took away my will to resist.
When she took off my underwear, I could see my cock, hardening and warping. She straddles me, presses it against her secret and begins to rub it slowly. Her smooth skin is slippery thanks to her love juices, and it gives me a different kind of pleasure than insertion.
「How about it, Yard? Are you tempted to put it in?」
「Stop, it's not too late. ......」

Anyway, it turned out to be troublesome. It seems that the others have already heard about what happened yesterday, so it's not just a matter of erasing Natalia's memory anymore. I had no choice but to make up her mind and put a <Thought-GuidingGuidepost> on Natalia.
「Natalia, listen to me. I did not mean to deny what I did to you or anything like that.」
「Then what did you mean by that?」
「I'm going to take responsibility for what I did to you. So why don't you wait a little while? I'm a bit confused after yesterday.」

In this world, it is a gem that would be a national treasure, but I don't appreciate it at all, because I could make it in a few hours with artificial magic stones. Rather than the magic stones themselves, it is Lucia who is making them that is far more important.
The number of High Elves is said to be seven, but there are ten magic stones here. I think I'll have to ask Lucia to make some more for me.
Just making one of these will put a lot of strain on her, so we can't mass produce too many, but it can't be helped. To ease her burden, I'll have to start preparing other people as well.
「Master, everyone is ready to go.」
As I finished preparing the magic stone, Elle came to call me. The three heroes and Elle are the only ones who are going. The reason Elle is coming with me is because she will be in charge of maintaining the wards while I use my magic on the high elves.
To be honest, if Alec wasn't here, there would be no need to take him with us, but since he is our representative, he has to be here when we sign the official contract. What a hassle.
「All right, I'll be right there, just wait for me.」
「Yes, sir.」
Elle walked into my room and sat down on my bed. The sheets have already been changed, so I don't think there are any traces left from yesterday, but she doesn't seem to like it.
「Master, I'd like to talk to you about Natalia. ......」
「What's up?」
「Are you going to take her back to your residence in the capital after your mission here is over?」
What should I do? It's not that I hadn't thought about it at all, but what about taking her back like this? There's a good chance that her husband is still alive, and it's one idea to have her come to the capital.
「For now, I'll put her matter on hold. Don't tell too many people about it.」
「Don't worry, I can only talk to elves.」
Even if you tell me not to worry, I can't trust you because of your record.
I withheld my answer, but she seemed to be able to put it behind her for the moment. If it comes to it, I'm thinking of messing with her memory. I don't have anything against Natalia, but I also prefer to have as little trouble as possible.
