Chapter 22
-You can check the real name of an anonymous gallery poster ‘to a limited extent’!
I'd been saving it because I was worried that ‘to a limited extent’ meant there was a set number of uses, but...
If I could use it to uncover the phantom thief's name, it wasn't a waste at all.
[ㅇㅇ (39.919)]
[Block][Check Real Name]
[Warning!]
[Checking the real name may cause minor side effects! Do you still wish to proceed?]
[Yes] [No]
Now that I thought about it, ‘to a limited extent’ probably referred not to the number of uses, but to the side effects.
‘A side effect...’
I thought about it briefly, but I didn't deliberate for long.
In any case, the gallery administrator's ability had been bestowed by Goddess Ellis.
I couldn't imagine that the goddess who wanted me to save the world would have put a potentially serious problem into the ability.
“Well, it says ‘minor,’ to begin with.”
Press─
When I pressed the [Yes] button....
[Poster : ㅇㅇ(39.919)] = [Chloe Lobelia]
I saw a name that looked very familiar.
“...Chloe Lobelia?”
[Poster : NeverGetAnA■] = [Chloe Lobelia]
[Please let me stab the professor just once][3]

Graduate students are people too!!! I can't live like this!!!
ㅇㅇ(74.812) : Fact) ‘Graduate student’ is not included in the definition of ‘person.’
ㄴ NeverGetAnA■ : Where do you live? I said, where do you live?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ(74.812) : ㅋㅋ Who held a knife to your throat and made you go to graduate school?
“I knew it...”

The legendary graduate student's name—the one with dozens of horrifying nicknames—was also Chloe Lobelia.
For the record, I'd seen her face once in passing, and the depression and despair emanating from it had made it hard for me to breathe properly, regardless of her looks.
‘...Then what? Her failure to graduate for eight years was all an act, and her true identity is the phantom thief?’
It was truly the discovery of the century!
‘I'm lucky.’
I'd thought I would only be able to find out her name....
In this world, I alone had learned the phantom thief's true identity.
“No, wait. If [NeverGetAnA■] = [Chloe Lobelia] = [ㅇㅇ(39.919)] is an established equation....”
ㄴNeverGetAnA■ : I knew too, and it's definitely her. Look at what's visible behind the verification photo. They're all things the phantom thief stole.
ㄴㅇㅇ(39.919) : Ah, that got in the picture ㅋㅋ I didn't mean to show it... but yeah, I'm really her ㅇㅇ
ㄴNeverGetAnA■ : Phantom Thief, that IP is notorious for trolling, so just block them and don't worry about it.
ㄴㅇㅇ(39.919) : Yes, thanks ^^ I've already blocked them.
“....”
For the sake of the phantom thief's reputation (graduate students have no honor), I decided to keep this fact buried.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : Master... when are you coming... This bitch is having such a hard time...
Then a comment notification popped up.
I closed everything I was looking at without hesitation.
Discovering the phantom thief's identity was one thing, but shouldn't I masturbate too?
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74) : Ah, you horny bitch. Who told you to get worked up without permission?
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : Ah... I'm sorry... I got horny on my own... Master.... This bitch... wants to masturbate so badly....
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74) : Tsk. Fine. I'll let you masturbate, so send me a picture of you gripping your power storage tank tightly.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : (Link) Here.. Can I masturbate now?... Please....

(A picture with ‘Master's exclusive tits-pussy’ written across her breasts.JPG)
(A picture of her pinching and pulling her nipples with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands.JPG)
As soon as I gave the order, picture after picture of Miss Yuris came flooding in, as though she had been waiting for it.
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74) : ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How many are you sending? ㅋㅋ Are you that horny?
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : Yes... I really... truly... can't hold back anymore....
ㄴㅇㅇ(89.74) : Fine. Finger your pussy. But report to me every time you come, and let me jerk off while looking at your storage tank too.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : Yes... Master, thank you for using this bitch as your fap material... This bitch will finger her pussy hard while looking at Master's dick pictures too....
Every word Miss Yuris wrote stoked a man's lust.
“Today, I'm really going to jerk off ten times.”
When I reached under my desk to grab the magnificently erect cock that should have been there...
“....??”
Despite looking at Miss Yuris's incredibly arousing pictures, my cock didn't get hard at all.
‘Why?’
Erectile dysfunction?
There was no way.
It had been hard nonstop while shopping with Eveline today, so why had it suddenly stopped?
[Side Effect: No Erections for 3 Days]
[Time Remaining: 71 hours 57 minutes 32 seconds]
“....?”
I rubbed my eyes and checked again, unable to believe reality, but the erection ban hadn't disappeared.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : Ah.. Master.. I'm sorry... I came three times... but it felt so good.. I couldn't report it.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : I'm... going again now. Four times.... No, five... six... I keep comingㅕㅕ.
ㄴHolyPowerStorageTank■ : ..9, 10, 11, 1222.. I have to repoht.. I can't anymore.. sowwyㅕㅕㅕㅕ.
The day I was sentenced to three days of forced no-fap.
...Miss Yuris broke the record for the most orgasms in a single day.
***
If hell exists, could this be it?
It was the third day since my erections had been banned, and the fifth day of no-fap.
I realized all too clearly what it meant for a man's brain to be ruled by his dick.
Just like when I first learned to masturbate, anything I did led my thoughts in a lewd direction, and every sense I had—smell, sight, hearing, everything—had grown excessively sensitive.
[Time Remaining: 5 hours 45 minutes 11 seconds]
‘This is driving me crazy...’
At least the fact that I would be able to jerk off in a few hours was my only salvation.
“...You. You don't look well.”
Estelle said this while constantly munching on macarons with her small mouth and narrowing her brows.
“No, President. I'm just a little tired.”
“...Tired? Has your condition still not returned to normal since that day?”
By ‘that day,’ she seemed to mean the day I'd stayed up all night organizing books.
‘It is since that day, though.’
Come to think of it, I hadn't masturbated even once since then.
“Mm-hm, it has nothing to do with that. I'm just tired, so don't worry too much.”
“...I wasn't worried.”
Estelle reached for the macaron box with her head turned away, as though she wanted to prove she hadn't been worried, but...
Unfortunately, the macarons were all gone.
“....”
After staring at the empty box for a moment, Estelle reached out a finger and dipped it into the crumbs left inside, as though to soothe her disappointment.
“...Hmm.”
Then she closed her eyes, slightly opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and licked the tip of her finger.
Thump─ Thump─
My heart began pounding wildly at that utterly trivial sight.
No, more precisely, it was the thought of putting something else, instead of a finger, in Estelle's mouth....
Smack─!
I slapped my cheek hard to drive out the lewd demon that had suddenly descended upon me.
‘...Crazy bastard.’
Even if my brain was filled with semen, I had almost imagined something completely absurd involving a classmate.
“Are you really okay?... Today... do you want to just go home?”
Estelle seemed quite shocked by my sudden act of self-harm and asked me in a worried voice.
“Um, no. It's just that I couldn't solve this one.”
“...Let me see. What is it?”
Creak─ Creak─
Estelle, who had been sitting across from me, pulled her wheelchair over to the seat beside mine.
“...This one?”
Estelle leaned over to check the problem, and her snow-white nape stole my gaze.
That alone was hard enough to endure, but it didn't end there.
─Fwoosh!
Every time Estelle moved, her powder-like scent stimulated my hypersensitive sense of smell.
“...This is an incredibly easy problem. You don't know this?”
When Estelle turned her head to look at me, her red lips were barely a handspan away from me.
Thump─! Thump─! Thump─!
“You're... an idiot after all.”
Just when I was focused on her lips....
Estelle, who normally wore a doll-like expression, lifted the corners of her mouth ever so slightly, as though she had opened her heart to me.
‘Wow... Her smile is really pretty... I could just kiss her..... No! What the hell am I thinking?!’
Smack─!
I slapped my cheek once more because I felt that if I stayed like this, I might lose control and kiss her.
And then...
Splash—!
The coffee my elbow had knocked over spilled onto Estelle's legs.
“Ah! S-sorry!! Are you okay!?”
“Ah...”
The faint smile vanished from Estelle's face when she saw the coffee spilled on her legs.
In its place appeared confusion, worry, and fear.
“....I'm... really sorry... I'll wipe it up right now... I'm sorry....”
The words of apology kept spilling out of my mouth.
I was truly sorry enough to die.
I'd tried my best not to make Estelle feel uncomfortable about her legs, and yet I'd caused a situation like this.
...And all because I'd been blinded by lust and started having strange thoughts.
“I'm really... sorry... President....”
As I wiped the coffee away with a handkerchief, I felt the sensation of Estelle's thigh beneath my fingertips—soft, yet springier than I'd expected.
‘...No... you... crazy bastard... show some restraint....’
I felt like an absolute idiot for getting horny enough to cause this situation and then having strange thoughts again.
「Water–drop」
Then I heard Estelle's trembling voice, and....
Splash—
Water poured down over my head.
“...I find it unpleasant. Get out.”
Though I'd tried my best not to show it, had Estelle sensed something?
When I saw Estelle glaring at me with infinitely cold eyes, my mind went completely blank.
“Don't come see me again.”
“...Yeah. ...I'm sorry. I won't come again.”
After bowing to apologize to Estelle one last time, I immediately gathered my things and walked toward the academy's main gate.
“Haa...”
I was so depressed.
I'd thought we'd grown fairly close, but I'd gone and ruined it all in an instant by getting horny.
And yet it was pathetic that I still couldn't forget the sensation of her thigh lingering on my fingertips.
“Seriously... haa... I'm hopeless....”
As I walked along, sighing heavily.
“...Oh my~! What a coincidence. Senior Ian!”
A familiar voice spoke to me.
“....Who are you? I think you've mistaken me for someone else....”
“Come on, mistaken? We met on the first day of term. We crashed into each other with a BANG~! Hehe! You remember, right?”
I was already depressed and had planned to pretend not to know her and move on, but for some reason, she didn't seem willing to let me go.
“Ah, you were that person....”
“Elfride Carleya”
Before I had any chance to resist, Elfride grabbed my hand tightly and said,
“Just call me Elfride. And don't use honorifics with me.”
“...All right.”
Apparently, she wasn't going to back down until I accepted her condition about her name.
“What are you going to call me?”
“...All right. Elfride.”
“Hehe! Yes, Senior Ian! But, Senior? It hasn't even rained, yet you're completely drenched! Ah! Did you just come from a shower? Of course, I mean that looking all damp is cool too☆”
“Yeah... right. Thanks. Then...”
As I tried to walk past her after answering, Elfride blocked my path again.
“By the way, Senior! I haven't been at the academy long, so I don't know my way around... Could you maybe show me around?”
“Sorry... I'm not in the mood today... Maybe next time, when I have time.”
Only then did Elfride seem to understand my refusal, and she stepped aside as she spoke.
“....Hehe. What a shame☆ I wanted to get closer to you, Senior... See you next time, Senior Ian.”
“Yeah... haa...”
After leaving Elfride behind, I let out another deep sigh.
