Chapter 80: Where in the world are there ghosts nowadays? (02)

Crash-!

With my kick, the old hinges shattered, and the door flew backward as I rolled inside with my mana saber in hand, ready to respond to any attacks within the mansion.

"Come at me!"

But there was nothing inside.

Just in case, I infused my eyeballs with mana to sense any presence around, but I couldn't feel any life force's mana at all.

It was just a silent mansion left with furniture and curtains.

Wriggle, wriggle......

After confirming the inside was safe, Mollang wriggled over to my side, and I sheepishly sheathed my mana saber.

"It's actually good that there's no one here..."

Moreover, since Shuru had fainted, and Mollang had seen this disgraceful sight alone, it seemed we could quietly move on.

"Whew......!"

Usually, a mansion left untouched for decades would be covered in dust, but this area was so overgrown with bushes that it seemed to filter the dust, leaving the interior relatively clean, except for a slightly musty, old smell.

Swoosh.

Even sweeping the floor with a finger, aside from the dust I had kicked up by breaking in, there were no traces.

"Is someone living here?"

* * *

"Growl..."

Shuru was still curled up in my arms, terrified, her head covered, and I was carrying her around the inside of the mansion because her look was so endearing.

"It's not as big as I thought."

The mansion had a two-story structure, with a large hall and dining room on the first floor, and spaces that looked like servants' quarters scattered about.

Apart from a few old pieces of furniture, there were no dishes or household items left, presumably stolen by tomb raiders. Upstairs were the bedrooms, where only a bit of dust remained, smelling slightly stale but sufficient for a night's lodging.

"Let's stay here for the night."

While Shuru was still bristling and on high alert, I put her down from the bag, checked the bedding for today's stay, and pounded it to shake off the dust.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Ah, the bed is still dusty. Just shaking it won't do."

I opened the window, grabbed the mattress with both hands, and hit it from the side with my jungle knife, sending dust flying.

"Cough! Mollang!"

When I called Mollang, she came over, puckering her lips to cover her mouth and nose, inhaling the fresh oxygen she held inside her, helping to clear out all the dust as I unpacked.

"All done."

Though it wasn't washed with water and didn't completely remove the dust, it was better than sleeping rough outdoors and getting covered in dust, so using the bedding after shaking it out indoors was the better option.

Originally, the second floor had a master bedroom and a smaller room, one looking like a study with torn books strewn about, which I inspected but found no archaeological value or forbidden books. It looked like the tomb raiders had thoroughly picked through it.

The master bedroom had neatly laid bedding but the bed was too large and entering it gave a sense of overwhelming pressure, typical of a noble's bed—too big and soft, which could result in a bad back if slept on, so I avoided it.

The place I decided to sleep was this smaller room. Although the bed was also soft, it was smaller, the room felt cozy, and the cold drafts felt elsewhere were less here, giving Shuru a sense of relief.

Still, she was alert in a loaf position, but still.

"Let's rest now."

Shuru and Mollang hurriedly cuddled into my embrace, Shuru still trembling a bit in anxiety, while Mollang seemed to just find it amusing and clung to me too.

Yeah, cute and nice, but......

"It's hot, so can you sleep a bit to the side? Can we just cuddle at the head of the bed?"

Shuru's hair was thick and long, and usually, even her neck would be sweaty, but now she was curled up and sticking to me, making my whole body sticky with sweat.

"Meow..."

As frightened as Shuru was, she was sweating profusely, feeling hot, so she reluctantly moved to my headside, hugging Mollang.

"Sleep well, it's been a tiring day."

Still anxious, Shuru grabbed my hair with her small hand on one side, and tightly hugged Mollang on the other, finally calming down and closing her eyes. I wished I hadn't brought Shuru, feeling a bit regretful.

'Let's sleep today and tomorrow, investigate for any signs of a necromancer in the area, and if possible, surrender, but if words fail, then we might resort to force...'

As I was thinking about tomorrow's tasks and drifting off to sleep, I was usually sensitive to any slight noise, waking up easily even at the training camp to the sounds of my peers shuffling outside or a small bug, but strangely, in this room, there were no sounds of bugs from the forest, nor of mice gnawing at the walls or running across the ceiling beams.

'This is just the perfect place to sleep... If only it was always this quiet, it would be nice.'

I was dozing off comfortably on the bed when...

Swoosh...

The weather was hot, so I had loosened my belt and left my zipper half-open for ventilation, and unbuttoned my shirt for comfort before falling asleep.

It was also to make it easier for Mollang and Shuru when they rushed in for breakfast in the morning.

Slide...

As usual, like Mollang does, I felt a sticky substance flowing down from my neck, across my chest, to my lower body.

'It seems Mollang is sliding down from my head...'

Today, it seemed Mollang couldn't wait until morning, craving so much that she was hungry.

Drip, drip...

'Oh... but this feels strangely different? Before, when Mollang would slither over my entire body, now it feels like she's licking with just a thin tongue...'

As Mollang had been learning new enchantment methods, perhaps she was just caressing my body in my sleep, making it feel lazy and comfortable...

"Meow..."

Then, Shuru, half-asleep, rolled over and placed her leg over my head.

Squish.

Then, as Shuru's leg was on top of me, part of Mollang's body touched my head, giving a cold sensation.

"Ugh, it's cold... Mollang feels cold... Huh?"

Now, Mollang's body had touched my head.

Meaning, Mollang was right beside my head, just as she had been cuddling with Shuru.

But now, something mildly cool was moving on my upper body. I thought Mollang was using a new method to enchant while sleeping, but it wasn't Mollang?

"Then what on earth...?"

I tried to open my eyes to grasp the current situation, but they wouldn't budge as if glued shut.

With all my might, I tried to force them open, injecting mana into my eyes, but strangely, the mana circuits wouldn't activate, and my body wouldn't move. I could barely lift my eyelids, as if lifting a heavy rock.

"What is that...?"

There was an indistinguishable woman licking my chest.

She seemed like a noblewoman, wearing a fancy dress with voluminous light blonde hair, looking like a typical classical aristocrat...

But to call her just a noblewoman seemed off. Her color was blurry, and I could see the wall behind her and my pelvis through her body.

Surely, my pelvis should be obscured by her abundant hair and head, but it seemed her body was translucent, allowing her lower body to be seen through her head?

If I insert into Mollang, the shape of the chili appears inside her body, which is a bit different, as if I were checking a chili dipped in water. But the pelvis visible through this woman's head looked like a silhouette barely distinguishable in dense fog.

"What? It doesn't seem like a slime..."

She was definitely sitting on my lower abdomen, but I felt no weight.

It was as if she was levitating; her skirt was lifted in the air, and parts of her body were floating above me.

Peek.

As she licked my chest here and there, our eyes met, and she was startled, widening her eyes and pulling back her tongue.

- Our eyes met...? That can't be right... -

"What... what is this?"

I saw the tongue that was licking my chest.

But the tongue coming from her mouth seemed not just to be licking but moving through my skin into my chest.

"But why do I feel the sensation of a tongue on my chest?!"

Where her tongue overlapped perfectly with my flesh, I felt no sensation, but on my skin, the chilling touch of her tongue was burrowing in.

- Surely... that book said this is how you have relations with a man, but why doesn't it feel like anything...? The torn page said to place a hand on the lower half, but should it be here? -

Moreover, she began to touch my lower abdomen with her translucent hand, and that spot was...

"Ugh...!"

Precisely stimulating the mana circuit range in my lower abdomen, blocking the use of mana and starting to stimulate the area with a mana circuit.

"What... what is this? A monster from another dimension, or..."

- Strange... isn't this the lower half? How am I supposed to do this by putting my hand here? -

Her fingers burrowed into the mana circuit, robbing my body heat as if freezing.

It wasn't a rapid loss like frostbite or exposure to cold air but as if the warmth itself was being 'sucked away,' and my lower abdomen began to shiver, feeling icy and trembling.

"If it's from another dimension, such interference would be impossible... If contact alone robs body heat, then... a ghost... perhaps?"

- Strange...? They say it feels good to press here... -

While tilting her head, she pressed deeper into my lower abdomen, and at the same time, the mana circuit reacted, and I was in agony.

My body couldn't move, nor could my tongue, and something seemed to block my throat, preventing any sound.

"The mana circuit is interfered with, causing paralysis... How should I handle this?"

- If I touch this like this... -

The continual interference with the mana circuit caused the mana flowing through my muscles to backflow or twist, paralyzing most of my body, and only my dick erect due to mana influx, which was driving me insane.

This wasn't normal arousal preparing for ejaculation but an adverse effect of mana backflow, forcing my testicles to operate maximally and spill out sperm, quickly exceeding the normal capacity.

"If this continues, I'll burst!!"

As I felt the capacity of my testicles reaching their limit and the terror of becoming sterile if I couldn't escape,

"Shriek!!"

The enraged Shuru raised her claws and charged at the ghostly noblewoman.

- Aaahh! -

Startled by the sudden sharp claws, the ghostly noblewoman backed off, and only then could I finally free myself from the ghost's restraint and grab my mana saber.

Whack-!

"Halt there!"

- Please... save me! –

As the terrified ghostly noblewoman cowered, I was too hasty in getting up to pay attention to my lower body state.

Whoosh.

My pants, already loosened before bed, were slipping off, and due to the mana circuit anomaly forcing an erection, my underwear was pushed down, and despite not intending to, my pants came completely off, exposing my privates.

- Aaahh! Disgusting! What is that?! –

Squirt!

- And it's spewing white fluid too... Mommy~! -

Ah, this is due to the backflow of the mana circuit, not intentional.

"Gasp! Why won't this stop?"

Seeing the terrified ghostly noblewoman, it wasn't that I was excited and spraying my body or anything like that; it was really the backflow... or maybe it looked a bit arousing?
