Chapter 7: Sexual Education..?
"Welcome, Head Maid."
Even after handing over the boys to Seril and Hilda, Sylvia couldn't rest.
While they received their basic education, she had to prepare the bath water, clothes, and food for washing the boys. Upon arriving at the grand bathhouse, Sylvia asked one of the maids lined up along the corridor.
"Rie. Is the bath water prepared?"
"Yes, Head Maid. We've finished mixing the bath ingredients and are currently brewing them. All that remains is maintaining the proper temperature for when the tributes arrive."
"Well done. Let's take a look inside."
Sylvia opened the door to the grand bathhouse and inspected its interior. The Demon King's grand bathhouse was like a luxurious waterpark styled after a tropical jungle.
It was filled with all manner of mystical baths. From boiling lava pools to ice-cold glacial baths sharp as blades.
Among them, the bath water prepared for the boys was even more special. As tributes to be offered to Her Majesty the Demon King, not even a speck of filth could be tolerated.
"....."
Among the numerous baths, Sylvia gazed at the cobalt liquid rippling in a tub-like pool. This was special bath water infused with the Demon King's blessing.
Immersing oneself in this specially prepared bath water heals wounds and pain while drawing out impurities from the body.
From the skin to deep within the body, everything becomes clean and pure. But the bath water's effects don't stop there.
'It also aids in... development.'
Sylvia stared emotionlessly at the cobalt liquid undulating in the small tub as she contemplated. While human skin naturally has erogenous zones, this bath water transforms the entire body into an erogenous zone.
Dull and insensitive areas become sensitive erogenous zones, while already sensitive parts become even more sensitive. And since it also strengthens and increases the healing speed of fragile human bodies, they can endure somewhat rough education and development. Truly an all-purpose bath water blessed by the Demon King.
"..."
For a moment, Sylvia recalled the boy from earlier. The black-haired boy who climaxed magnificently in her arms before falling asleep cutely.
Sylvia started thinking about how wonderfully and adorably that boy would develop once properly soaked in this bath water, but quickly erased those thoughts.
It's not good to harbor feelings for an individual. She simply carries out her assigned duties silently.
"Very good. Now let's head to the dining hall."
"Yes, Head Maid."
The bath water isn't the only special thing. Since nourishing meals good for stamina and health are also important, Sylvia led the maids toward the dining hall to check on that as well.
**
Sylvia had disappeared somewhere, and Seril and Hilda led our group. We walked through the grand and majestic corridors of the Demon King's Castle, following the gently swaying tails of the succubi.
Passing by decorative statues and red carpets like something out of a movie, we arrived at a space. Windows showing the crimson sky. Multiple desks and chairs in the room. A platform, lectern, and even a blackboard at the front.
This room was set up similar to a normal classroom. The only difference was that all sorts of strange samples and chunks of flesh floated in glass jars lining the walls.
Seril and Hilda spoke to us as we looked around the classroom with curious eyes.
"The bath water, meals, and change of clothes are being prepared~ Before that, we'll teach you the essential rules you must follow in the Demon King's Castle."
"Then shall we all call for the teacher who will instruct you?"
"Teacher~"
Seril and Hilda called out for the teacher with hands cupped around their mouths, but the other boys hesitated and couldn't follow along.
So Seril and Hilda handled the boys like kindergarten teachers.
"Aw, don't be shy. Let's all say it together. Ready, once more!"
"T-teacher~"
As if entranced, the boys called out "teacher" following the two succubi.
...I only pretended to participate, too embarrassed to actually do it.
Then.
Poof-
"Yes~ Teacher has arrived~"
With a strange sound effect, a woman suddenly materialized before us. A blonde demon woman wearing a clean lace shirt in modern aristocratic style and a long tight skirt reaching her ankles.
One side of the skirt was slit like a qipao for ease of movement, revealing smooth, shapely thighs whenever she walked.
'They're... huge.'
The defining feature of this glamorous blonde woman was undoubtedly her enormous breasts. Not only were they far larger than the nearly flat-chested twin succubi, they even surpassed Sylvia's already impressive size.
A waist so slim it seemed impossible for it to support those breasts, legs as long as a model's, and voluptuous hips.
Yes. She was like the living embodiment of a "mommy milker". Some might call such a woman...
Maman.
"Pleased to meet you all~ I'm Helena, Helena Ophelia, the teacher who will be 'educating' you. I look forward to working with you~"
The large-breasted woman closed the vintage parasol she was holding, then smiled radiantly at us.
Along with her greeting, Helena swept her cascading wavy blonde hair behind her shoulders.
Swish-
Is this what a beautiful noblewoman is like? She had an impression of being noble and radiant, seeming kind and good-hearted to all.
But at the same time, she exuded an inexplicable dignity and pressure. The kind of feeling that while normally extremely kind and gentle, she'd be terrifying when angered.
After greeting the boys, Helena turned her gaze to Seril and Hilda.
At Helena's look, the two succubi grinned showing their fangs before closing the classroom door.
Click-
Ensuring no one could escape. Once she confirmed the door was closed, Helena began the lesson in earnest.
Clap- Clap-
"Now then, shall we all take our seats?"
When Helena clapped, the boys hesitated before sitting in any empty seat. I too looked around briefly before sitting in the very back.
"Well done everyone. From now on, we'll begin some basic education. First~"
Snap-
Helena pulled out a map from somewhere and showed it to them. She then briefly explained the location of the Demon King's Castle, the demon realm, and the various middle worlds and kingdoms.
"...And so, you've all come here to serve the great ruler who reigns over these seven hells and demon realm, Her Majesty Demon King Elizabeth, who shall rule these lands for eternity~"
While the other boys seemed rather bored, I listened carefully to the explanation about this world. After all, it seems I'll need to visit this parallel world several more times.
'It definitely said... first playthrough.'
When choosing which parallel world to travel to through the "do it" app, there was a "1" written next to the points value. From this, it seems I can't clear the Demon King's Castle parallel world in one expedition, and will need to come multiple times.
And according to what I heard from Yuria, the reward points obtainable for clearing each playthrough increases, so the existence of multiple playthroughs seems certain.
While the Dick Compass points for first clear is 100,000, later on as playthroughs accumulate it might increase several or dozens of times over. Without points increasing exponentially like that, it would be impossible to collect 10 billion points even over a lifetime.
'If that's not the case...'
If points can only be earned in small fixed amounts like now...? I might really end up getting fucked forever wandering around various parts of this world.
I tried to shake off the chill running down my spine. Helena folded up the map and slowly approached our desks.
Click-* *Click-
Her high heels echoed through the classroom.
"So, from now on you'll receive education bit by bit on how to serve the Demon King. We'll slowly train you one by one on proper attitude, posture, and mindset when attending to the Demon King."
Slide-
Speaking thus, Helena perched on the edge of the lectern and gently caressed its surface. That touch somehow felt sticky and lewd.
"Eventually including your body, mind, and even soul."
While Helena's face was smiling brightly, something frightening seemed to peek through beneath it.
Thwack-
Helena sharply struck the lectern with her tail before slowly rising from her seat.
"First, I'll teach you the basic mindset that you tributes offered to this Demon King's Castle must have. The first is absolute obedience."
Tap-
As Helena swished her tail, the words "absolute obedience" appeared on the blackboard. She continued speaking.
"You must never resist or rebel against the words of our Demon King, or us demons who serve as the Demon King's retainers. We'll continue various types of education going forward, and you'll be punished if you resist then too."
Swish-* *Swish-
Helena's tail swaying back and forth beneath her skirt. The sound of it cutting through the air suggested it would hurt quite badly like a whip if struck.
"Everyone... understands?"
When Helena tilted her head slightly and asked.
"...Yes."
Whether due to some pressure, all the boys gathered here nodded.
"Good. However, there's already one very ba~d friend who disobeyed our demon race's orders."
Helena stopped swishing her tail while smirking.
"!"
The boys startled at hearing someone had disobeyed the demon race's orders. Helena nodded in satisfaction at their reaction before continuing.
"Before beginning proper education, it's important to establish the laws of the Demon King's Castle. Therefore~ we plan to give a simple disciplinary punishment to the bad friend as an example."
As Helena's gaze swept past while mentioning punishment, the boys trembled in fear. After looking over all the trembling boys, she soon fixed her gaze on me.
Then deliberately singled me out from where I was hiding behind the other students.
"You there, cute friend sitting in the very back~ would you stand up?"
Helena was smiling brightly as she looked at me. However... her eyes weren't smiling at all.
