Chapter 18
#18. Reunion (2)
[Moving to Planet EB-17]
“Since you came back, we'll see this through to the end this time, right?”
“...Huh?”
Just after Kang Hyunwoo returned to this world, Iris was bewildered when he suddenly vanished and then popped back into existence.
‘W-wait...?? I definitely saw Mr. Hyunwoo’s body scattering like fragments of light...??'
That sight was unmistakably that of someone trying to return to his own world.
“A-are you back...?”
“Of course.”
He had certainly promised to return as quickly as possible... but wasn't this too soon even by those standards...??
Of course, it wasn't that she disliked it...!
“Um, by any chance..."
Gulp. She forced the dry saliva down her throat.
"Did you hear...?”
“Hear what?”
The moment Iris saw Kang Hyunwoo grinning from ear to ear, she realized.
You heard all of it, didn't you?
“H-hehe... M-Mr. Hyunwoo...? Actually, I misspoke...”
“Do you dislike doing this with me, Iris?”
“Ngh...”
At the sound of Kang Hyunwoo's lowered voice, Iris was rendered speechless.
A woman's skin was worth a thousand pieces of gold, so it was not to be exposed carelessly before others, and a woman's chastity was a second life, to be treasured above all else.
Though she was royalty who could not marry, these were things she had learned from educational books to acquire at least the most basic knowledge.
From that perspective, Iris was utterly embarrassed and ashamed of the situation, but if he asked whether she truly disliked being intimate with him, the answer was no.
On the contrary, if she could grow closer to him, and even go so far as to become his wife...
“I-it's not that I dislike it...”
Iris murmured in a tiny voice, like an ant crawling.
“Then, if you don't mind, I'll take a little liberty?”
“Huh...? What does that mea—eek?!”
As if he had been waiting for those exact words, Kang Hyunwoo wiped away his grimace—as though he had been chewing stinky tofu—and grinned as he lifted Iris straight up.
Suddenly held in Kang Hyunwoo's arms in a bridal carry, Iris let out only a small, shrill scream and offered no resistance.
Or rather, it was more accurate to say that she couldn't.
Her brain had not yet managed to fully process her surroundings because of the sudden change in circumstances.
“I brought a few things over from that side.”
Just as in other works of fiction, the Inventory was a ridiculously overpowered ability.
Although it was limited to ten slots, each slot could hold only one item unless the items were identical.
In exchange, its weight limit was extremely generous.
Two tons per slot.
It could accommodate even a reasonably sized midsize car, so there was no way a mere mattress wouldn't fit.
Holding Iris in his arms, he opened the Inventory and set up the mattress and bed frame he had bought at a furniture store he had hurriedly stopped at before coming to this world, choosing the flattest spot he could find.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo, what's this...??”
“It's one of my abilities. I can take out anything I've stored beforehand whenever I want.”
“S-spatial magic?! That's lost magic!”
Lost magic was the term for ancient magic that had since been lost.
The only records left merely stated that it had existed in the distant past—so long ago that even the elves' records contained almost no detailed information about it.
No one even knew the forms of its magic circles or the mechanisms of its mana anymore.
“You're amazing, Mr. Hyunwoo! In general, conceptual magic is much more complex and difficult than magic from other schools. And spatial magic is renowned as the most difficult of all conceptual magic. Hayden McClun, who was called the founder of spatial magic, never took even a single disciple in his lifetime, so the magic was lost just like that!”
Iris chattered so excitedly that she looked, well, almost like a baby bird.
“I see.”
“Do you know how amazing this is?! After his death, countless mages devoted their lives to systematizing spatial magic. But people with an aptitude for conceptual magic are extremely rare, and spatial magic is even rarer!”
I had treated it as nothing more than an ability granted by the app and used it without a second thought, but apparently Iris saw it very differently.
“If you succeed in systematizing spatial magic, Mr. Hyunwoo, you could present an entirely new paradigm to the magical world, whose history spans tens of thousands of years!”
Seeing Iris rejoice as if it were her own accomplishment naturally brought a pleased smile to my face.
But if we continued like this, the mood seemed destined to drift more and more toward a lesson.
Of course, I welcomed magic lessons at any time. I had only recently reached the Second Circle, but I was already hungry for all kinds of knowledge and eager to advance to the next stage immediately.
It just wasn't the time for that now.
It was time to put the lesson on the back burner.
“Iris.”
I carefully laid Iris, who was still chattering like a baby bird, down on the bed.
“How about we have our lesson later?”
“...Ah.”
Only then, as if she had finally become aware of our situation again, did a reddish blush bloom across Iris's face.
Beside the pristine bed, a stark contrast to the dark cavern, I took out a small table and placed a lamp on it.
Under the gentle light, it became much easier for us to look at each other.
“Isn't it uncomfortable being somewhere this dark?”
“...I've gotten used to it, so I'm fine.”
Even if one grew used to the pain of an injury, the injury would continue to fester.
And as time passed, it would become a scar that could no longer be erased even with treatment, remaining on the body like a brand.
“No matter what happens, I'll get you out of here. No—I'll get you out.”
I quietly kissed her.
It was a short kiss, just like the one we had shared a week ago, but the warmth and sensation I had felt then were still vividly warm and soft.
“Mr. Hyunwoo...”
I gently wiped away the tears streaming from Iris's large eyes and pressed my lips to hers again.
Feeling each other's warmth, we cautiously opened our lips and intertwined our tongues without either of us needing to say a word.
“Mmph, mmph... smack, smooch...”
The sensation created by soft, hot flesh entwining was actually quite far from pleasure.
That was only natural, since very few people considered the tongue an erogenous zone in the first place.
Even so, a kiss offered a sense of fulfillment, as though something inside had been filled.
“Smack, mwah... mmm...”
Iris must have felt it too, because she grew increasingly enthusiastic, wrapping her tongue around mine and sucking on it.
The way she gulped down my saliva as if begging her mother bird for food was lewd beyond description.
At the sight, blood seemed to rush once more to my already rock-hard cock. I was certain this was the time to take things further.
For the moment, I was the teacher—not Iris.
“Hah...!”
While continuing the kiss, I carefully lowered my hand and grabbed Iris's breast.
The elasticity and softness of those still-enormous breasts were so insane that I could think of no other word for them.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo...”
This time, I slipped my hand behind her back to take off her dress.
However, it had a fairly complicated structure, so I struggled to remove it.
The dress tore a little in the process, but I wasn't particularly worried.
She had used what little mana she possessed to cast preservation magic on that dress, which she had worn for two hundred years.
It was time to let it go.
Once the cumbersome dress was gone, her beautiful naked body appeared beneath the gentle light.
“...It's so embarrassing when you stare at me like that.”
Her snow-white skin, soft as silk, seemed to awaken a strange sadistic urge in me.
Even at a glance, her breasts looked at least two sizes larger than Professor Shin Ye-hwa's enormous tits, so I buried my face in them.
The dizzying scent of her flesh seemed to numb both my sense of smell and my brain.
Then I kissed the pale-pink nipples that stood out adorably against her snow-white skin.
“Hngh...?!”
Suck-suck—
I don't remember doing it, but I sucked her nipples relentlessly, as if I had become a tiny newborn baby.
“H-haah, haah... M-my milk isn't coming out...”
There was no need to worry about that.
Because I would make it come out soon.
Crack—
“Hngh?!!”
When I unconsciously bit her nipple lightly, Iris reacted far more intensely than I had imagined.
I didn't know whether she was startled or had felt pleasure, but her reaction was strong enough to make her waist jerk upward.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo...?!”
“Tell me if it hurts.”
Smack, smack, suuuck.
“H-haat, hngh, hhaaang?!”
Since there was nothing to hold me back this time, I freely enjoyed Iris's breasts, squeezing, biting, and sucking them and her nipples as much as I wanted.
Throughout it all, Iris kept moaning and gasping. When she tried to cover her mouth as if to suppress the sounds somehow, I answered by biting her nipple harder.
After nearly three minutes had passed like that, Iris lay sprawled across the bed.
“...You're fucking beautiful.”
The exclamation slipped out before I knew it.
Her eyes were unfocused, her indecent breasts were exposed and covered in saliva, and even her secret garden was laid bare except for the way she raised her legs to hide it somehow.
“Haa, haa, haa...”
Rather than wanting to let her rest as she struggled to catch her breath, my instinct to satisfy the desire that felt ready to burst was stronger.
I spread Iris's legs apart to reach the garden she was desperately hiding with them.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo... not there...”
“You trust me, right?”
Even while exhausted, Iris tried to cover that place with her hands in a panic, but my single question left her flustered and helpless.
Her hands, wavering uncertainly in the air, eventually returned obediently to her breasts.
“...I do.”
Then she completely relaxed her legs and gave herself over to me.
“I can trust you, Mr. Hyunwoo.”
“...”
Holy fuck... she's so fucking hot.
That whispered admission sent an irresistible impulse surging through me like a rising tide.
The vulva between her spread legs was already wet with arousal.
The sticky fluid running down her snow-white skin created a sensual sight that could never be seen in porn.
Srrk—
“Hiyah?!”
When I lightly brushed over her mound with my finger, Iris let out a shrill scream.
The arousal coating my fingertip was far wetter and stickier than it had appeared from the outside.
‘This should be okay...?’
I knew it wasn't okay to just ram it into a virgin. Even if I was a twenty-one-year-old virgin, surely I knew at least that much.
The more of a loser you are, the more thoroughly you know the theory.
With the finish line in sight, I hurriedly stripped off my pants and underwear together.
“...Gulp.”
At the sight of the dangling snake between my legs, Iris swallowed dryly.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo...?”
“?”
Her voice sounded as though she were trembling.
“I-is that going inside me...?”
“Right...?”
Before my answer had even fully left my mouth, Iris's complexion turned pale.
“I-it's impossible...! It's too big...”
Good heavens...
I had thought Iris was a genius only as a mage, but apparently that wasn't the case.
“It'll definitely tear...!”
She was a genius as a woman too.
How could the words of a former virgin elven queen who had never even watched porn strike a man's heartstrings so powerfully?
Nothing was more mysterious.
“C-could you make it just a little smaller...?”
I couldn't help laughing at Iris's gesture, indicating a tiny amount with her fingers.
“Sorry, but I can't adjust its size at will."
Her disappointed expression was a sight to behold, as though I had given her exactly the answer she hadn't wanted.
"Still, you don't have to worry too much. Women can even give birth to babies through here.”
Strictly speaking, there was a major difference between something coming out and going in, but I wasn't some thirty-centimeter eel. There was no way she would actually tear.
‘...It won't, right?’
Even if it wasn't thirty centimeters, it was roughly the span from my thumb to my middle finger, given the size of my hands.
Wouldn't it be somewhat difficult for Iris, a virgin, to take it easily?
‘I'll be as gentle as possible.’
As I steeled myself, I opened the box of condoms I had set out beforehand.
I tore open the packaging and put one on my cock.
Aside from the awkwardness of doing it for the first time and the slight struggle because the size was small, it went fairly smoothly.
“Mr. Hyunwoo, what's that...?”
“Oh, this? It's a contraceptive device we use on our side.”
Iris's curious eyes turned toward the condom, then she looked at me with an expression that changed completely in an instant.
As if she had made some kind of decision.
“M-Mr. Hyunwoo...”
Her voice trembled even more than it had when she first saw my cock.
“Y-you can just put it in...”
