Chapter 9 How to Steal a Protagonist’s Woman

A new trait had appeared for Viola.

-[Anxiety]-

‘What, it’s not jealousy…’

[It’s likely a natural issue with Viola.] 

‘Well, I’ll have to be satisfied with this for now.’

Viola was pouting.

But Viola is beautiful no matter what expression she makes….

‘It’s fascinating how instincts work… She probably has no experience with men, let alone dating.’ 

[So, are you going to start for real now?] 

‘No, not yet.’

[I trust you completely, but I think it’s not good to delay too much.]

‘No, it’s the opposite, Armonia.’

[Yes?]

Armonia must be thinking I should quickly have my way with the hero’s woman and break his mental state.

But if I proceed like that, it could backfire severely.

‘Armonia, do you think the hero will break just by sensing that his woman was taken away?’

[Statistically, that’s what my research shows.]

‘That’s the result. Did you check what the circumstances were during the process?’ 

[I haven’t delved into that.]

‘You haven’t, right? That’s the issue.’

I explained to Armonia.

If I sleep with Viola now, win her heart and return, the hero might initially be shocked.

But ultimately, Viola is still a woman.

She only has the hero to rely on, so even without affection, she would return to him.

The hero might even use that anger to fuel his quest and defeat the Demon King’s army faster.

NTL isn’t just about rushing into excitement with rape or adultery.

It requires storytelling.

The process needs to be gradual, and then, when the opponent least expects it, you shatter the trust they had in their woman in an instant.

It’s a sacred task of slowly taking over the tower of trust that the seemingly strong couple has built from the ground up.

The woman hands over each level of that trust to me, while the man, deceived by the woman he loves, is driven towards the top of the tower.

The man, having given all his keys to the woman he loves, is trapped at the top forever.

To make him watch everything from the top of the tower in despair is the real NTL.

[I understand. But remember, our goal is not to disable the hero permanently. We aim to weaken him temporarily.]

‘Eh? Wait, is that enough to have a chance in the war?’

[No. The Demon King’s Army will lose as long as the hero is present.]

‘Eh? Then why are we here?’

[That’s….]

I got a detailed explanation.

It turns out the Zodiac, who controls the Demon King, has already deemed victory impossible and decided to abandon this world.

But even if they’re abandoning it, they’re holding on until the last moment to gather as much Enel as possible by giving the Demon King instructions to persist.

And they hired us to buy them that little bit of extra time.

‘Just a few months… or even weeks to shake his mental state is what they want.’

[Correct. The reward for completing the mission is 20,000 Enel. It’s a fitting amount for this mission.]

To me, 20,000 Enel seemed like a lot, but for Armonia, it seemed like a trivial amount.

After hearing Armonia’s explanation, I understood the situation.

But… it felt uncomfortable.

I looked at Viola, still sulking.

“….”

Certainly, in future missions, I might meet another woman like Viola.

But….

‘Ah!’

[What’s the matter?]

‘Armonia! What about this idea?’

I explained my sudden flash of insight to Armonia.

..

..

Armonia, who had been listening silently, finally spoke as I finished.

[If it works as you say, it will be a huge advantage for us. Our credibility will increase, and the quality and quantity of future tasks will likely change positively.]

‘How about that! My brilliant idea! So, how much Enel will it cost?’

[It’s estimated to cost around 18,000. But as for Viola… I’m unsure if she would want such a life.] 

‘Hmm… Don’t worry about that.’

I wrapped one arm around Viola’s shoulders.

“Eek!”

Startled by my sudden move, Viola looked at me with wide eyes.

Beautiful.

Viola, who resembled my first love. Up until now, I had planned everything with the assumption that I would part ways with her.

But I didn’t want to lose Viola.

“Viola, thank you.”

“Huh? For what?”

“For appearing before me.”

“Oh, that’s…”

I held Viola in my embrace, thinking to myself.

The conditioning starts now!

***

Armonia said,

‘With great power comes great responsibility…’

[I never said that.]

‘…Cutting me off, huh.’

Seong Su-ho enjoyed bantering with Armonia while kissing Viola.

As soon as the kiss started, Viola closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him, exploring his mouth.

Their red tongues intertwined, their saliva mixing, increasingly enveloped in deep sexual pleasure.

“Chup… Hah… Huh… Ah…”

When Seong Su-ho pulled away, Viola looked down at her body with dazed eyes.

Her top was undone just like yesterday.

Her slightly sweaty, glossy, pale chest was exposed.

Her pink nipples and areola.

Seong Su-ho leaned down and took Viola’s nipple into his mouth.

Viola, surprised by the sudden sensation, gasped.

“Haah! Th-this feels… weird. Hah…”

“Viola… you’re so beautiful…”

“Haah… hearing you say that… Hah!”

Viola’s body, never shown or touched by anyone else, was now being freely teased by a man.

But Viola felt no discomfort.

Rather, she hoped for more teasing of her breasts.

However, Seong Su-ho’s teasing stopped there.

“Then now…”

“Th-that…”

Viola hoped for more but didn’t know how to express it.

She hadn’t awakened sexually enough to ask for her breasts to be sucked.

‘How do I say it… It’s too embarrassing…’

Ignoring Viola’s state, Seong Su-ho, like yesterday, slipped his right hand under her skirt.

Feeling his rough, warm touch on her ankle, Viola clenched her eyes shut, trying to recall yesterday’s memories.

But she could only remember them vaguely.

‘What exactly happened yesterday… I don’t remember well… but I want it to happen again…’

Viola couldn’t recall the specifics but desired to experience it once more.

Seong Su-ho gently lifted her skirt, admiring her from her ankles to her thighs.

‘Wow~~~ She’s perfect. How can she not have a single blemish… Oh?’

[Is something the matter?]

‘Wow. The underwear…’

The underwear Viola was wearing today was different from yesterday.

Yesterday, it was a plain white pair with strings on the sides.

But today, Viola’s underwear was made of shiny pink silk with elaborate lace.

Seong Su-ho couldn’t take his eyes off it.

Viola, suddenly embarrassed, covered her face with her hands.

‘What do I do? What if he thinks it’s weird that I’m wearing what my brother gave me? Oh? Ahh!’

However, Viola’s embarrassment vanished in an instant. As she felt something entering her underwear, she reflexively clenched her legs together.

Her thighs resisted involuntarily, but the resistance was futile.

Seong Su-ho gently stroked her privates.

At that moment, her thighs relaxed.

“Hiek! Haa…, Haa….”

The thrill from just one stroke was different from yesterday.

If yesterday was a melting sensation, today it was a tingling thrill.

As Seong Su-ho pulled his hand out, he showed it to Viola. His hand was wet, visible to her eyes.

Viola didn’t take long to understand the situation.

But she mistakenly thought the fluid from her privates was urine.

“S-Sorry! Ahh… What should I do… I wet myself…” 

“Viola, it’s not pee.”

“Huhu… Really?”

He explained to Viola that it was a fluid produced when men and women are together in love.

Viola stopped crying and asked him.

“Then, does it come out of men too?”

“Y-yes?”

“Then show me.”

“N-now?”

“It’s unfair if only I show mine…”

Viola, pouting, looked up at me.

Seong Su-ho internally celebrated.

‘Ah~ I knew you would say that, Viola!’

As Seong Su-ho joyfully started to undress, Viola stopped him.

“I’ll do it… I undressed you before, so it’s only fair.”

“Will you?”

Seong Su-ho shouted to Armonia through their communication.

‘Armonia! There’s an angel here!”

[…I’m not sure how this relates to angels, but congratulations.]

Viola kneeled down and slowly started to pull down Seong Su-ho’s pants. However, something seemed to be stuck and wouldn’t come down.

‘What’s this? Is there something in the pocket?’

Viola noticed something protruding and causing a snag inside the pants. Despite her attempts, something kept getting in the way.

“Suho, is there something in your pocket? It’s not coming down very well…”

“Oh, that’s…”

“Ah!”

Determined to get the pants down, Viola yanked them with both hands.

At that moment, a dark red rod brushed past her lips and dangled right in front of her eyes.

Viola looked at Seong Su-ho’s twitching penis in a state of shock.

For Viola, who had never heard of such a thing and didn’t know the difference between men and women, a penis was a source of surprise, not excitement.

“Su, Suho! There’s something weird attached to you!’

“Oh, that’s normal for men.”

“For men? What about women?”

“Well, women have…”

While Viola instinctively understood the pleasures she was feeling, her knowledge of such things was still at a childlike level.

Seong Su-ho explained it simply.

He said women have a womb where a baby grows, and men have an organ to put milk into that womb.

“Wow! So the baby grows when you put milk in it?”

“Yeah, that’s something you do after you get married.”

Armonia couldn’t help but be impressed.

[That was quite a simple sex education…. And Miss Viola seems fascinated by it.]

‘When you’re young, it’s all like that. Though Viola isn’t a child…’

True innocence is not about being embarrassed, but being curious.

‘Getting red in the face, covering your eyes with your hands, and screaming ‘kyaa’ means you already know too much.’

[It’s surprising that she didn’t know this much despite living with the hero all her life.]

‘Crazy guy, seriously crazy…’

Seong Su-ho shook his head and looked at Viola.

Viola was still curiously staring at the penis. She wanted to touch it, but thought it rude to touch someone else’s body without permission.

“That…”

“Viola, do you want to touch it?”

“Ah! Can, can I?”

“Sure… I don’t know about other women, but you can touch it as much as you want.”

“Wow! But what should I call this…”

Viola was not embarrassed by looking at the penis, but rather embarrassed that she did not know what to call it.

Seong Su-ho smiled and spoke.

“You can call it a penis.”

“Ah…”

After hearing that, Viola gently grasped the penis with her right hand and softly lifted the testicles with her left, looking at them with eyes filled with awe.

“Penis…”
