Devouring the Hero's Family

In that ambiguous time between afternoon and evening.

Ryuz and I went outside of the Lord’s castle.

“Shall we depart, teacher?”

Ryuz, brimming with anticipation, asked with a bright smile.

She was dressed in a short black skirt and a pink T-shirt.

From a modern perspective, it reminded me of a tennis outfit.

Her impressively large chest was prominently noticeable.

Ryuz always looked good in anything, but today, it felt like she put in extra effort.

“Did you dress up for this?”

She seemed pleased that I recognized her effort.

Ryuz giggled, her bright smile accompanied by a little wiggle.

Her skirt fluttered, briefly revealing her pale thighs.

“It’s a rare date with the teacher. I had to dress up.”

“It’s more of a lesson than a date.”

“Then let’s call it a ‘date lesson’ ♥”

Ryuz sneakily took my hand.

Her upward gaze seemed to ask, ‘This is okay, right?’

Honestly, it was a bit much for me.

But I couldn’t deny something so simple to a student so happy about a date.

‘Well, I guess we can just go with the story of a close student and teacher.’

Our relationship, naturally, was a secret to others.

It might not matter if we seemed like a couple, but if Lorein found out, things would get slightly annoying.

‘Ryuz is usually so bright and playful. This won’t seem strange.’

Instead of answering, I squeezed her hand back, and she began to fiddle with it.

“Hmm… as expected, teacher, your hands are big. Firm, too.”

Come to think of it, she had a thing for hands.

Thanks to the effect of the tattoo, holding my hand would be giving her pleasure.

“Does the tattoo make life difficult? It’s large, and its placement must be inconvenient.”

“Not at all. It makes me happy to see it in the mirror every day. It feels real like I’m your woman♥”

The tattoo on her womb was proof of her belonging to me.

Ryuz seemed quite fond of it.

“Ah, but it feels a bit strange without the one that was always on the back of my hand.”

“Should I draw a new one?”

I pulled out a pen and drew a small heart on the back of her hand.

Ryuz giggled at its cute size.

“Hehe… what’s this? It’s adorable.”

“You said you felt empty without it. Should I erase it?”

“No way. I want to keep it like this while we date today.”

Ryuz happily swung our clasped hands.

She was set on pushing the idea of this being a date.

Technically, she wasn’t wrong.

The official purpose was an ‘outdoor lesson for skill assessment’.

But I was filled with thoughts of a thoroughly enjoyable session of a different kind.

‘Might as well check the pen’s effect while at it.’

If Amy’s play with the pen was for recording, then with Ryuz, it would be outdoor play.

Of course, Ryuz thought of this as a normal date.

She had no idea what was planned, believing it to be more exciting when forced.

“Shall we go out for dinner then?”

“Yes! I’ll guide you to a special tasty place!”

“Is it better than the dishes Amy makes?”

“Uh, um… That’s a bit of a high hurdle.”

We walked down the street, hand in hand, affectionately like a couple.

Suddenly, Ryuz, who had been looking straight ahead, asked as if something just occurred to her.

“Teacher?”

“Hmm?”

“Do you like women who are good at cooking?”

“Well… it’s certainly better than being bad at it.”

Being a magician myself, I didn’t particularly fantasize about women who were good at housework.

It would be annoying if they were like the lazy ones in the hero party who don’t lift a finger.

“But I don’t dislike someone who works hard at their job and tries to do well.”

“Hmm~”

Ryuz’s lips pouted ever so slightly.

“……then, should I cook for you next time?”

“A noble lady like you knows how to cook?”

“Of course. What era do you think this is? You’ll be surprised by my stew!”

Stew was something I could make any time.

Still, I was curious about how it would taste if made by a pretty girl like Ryuz.

It was also endearing that she wanted to do something for me.

‘It’s cute how she gets jealous when I compliment other women.’

I nodded silently.

“Then, shall I ask you next time?”

“Yes! I’ll make something that’ll definitely earn me lots of compliments!”

Engaging in such affectionate talk, we headed to the restaurant recommended by Ryuz.

It was a fancy-looking restaurant, with quite a few couples noticeable.

“Actually, it was my dream to come here with a guy I liked when I was younger.”

“As the lord’s daughter, couldn’t you come here anytime?”

“It’s the ‘guy I liked’ part that’s key, you know?”

She was at the age to fantasize about romance.

Sometimes forgotten because of her large chest, Ryuz was a girl brimming with youthful innocence, having only recently become an adult.

“Hehe, thanks to you, teacher, my childhood dream came true.”

“If you’re happy, then I’m glad too. I was worried it might be too much, taking you out in public.”

“I’m fine with anything if it’s with you, teacher!”

Hmm, she’d probably regret this when it got darker.

For now, I naturally smiled and went along with the date.

I was already looking forward to whether Ryuz would undress or what we’d do here.

After a satisfying meal, we left the restaurant.

“It was quite tasty. Should we come again?”

“Oh~ Are you already thinking about a second date?”

“We could come again, just the two of us, or bring your sister or Amy along.”

“……”

Ryuz visibly stiffened at the mention of her sister.

Though things improved a bit after we started having sex, it seemed that she was still bothered by her sister.

I knew that it was mischievous, but her blatant reaction was so cute I couldn’t help teasing her.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”

“No, not at all! It’s nothing!”

As I stroked her head, she forced a smile and shook her head, seemingly not wanting to show too much jealousy.

…Now that we’ve eaten, shall we go for a walk?“

“Sounds good.”

As we walked, people who had finished their work were heading home.

Several residents recognized the lord’s daughter and greeted her.

Ryuz responded to each of them with a bright smile.

“You’re quite popular among the residents.”

“Is that so? I thought this was normal.”

This was almost idol-level popularity.

Especially among young men.

Among them, some blatantly glared at me but then averted their eyes.

Even after momentarily letting go of her hand to greet them, that was the reaction.

‘Well, a girl like Ryuz not being popular would be the harder thing.’

Her face, of course, and those bouncy breasts have a magnetism that attracts men.

Ryuz’s bright personality played a part, too.

Her sister Lorein had an unapproachable, cold aura.

And Priscilla, being a married woman, was out of the question.

In contrast, Ryuz’s approachable nature, enough to be friends with Amy, probably made many guys think, ‘Maybe I have a chance?’

“Ah, isn’t that Lady Ryuz?”

“Oh! Long time no see.”

One of the young men, likely one of them, approached after spotting Ryuz.

He had a particularly naive face, like a typical countryside youth smitten with love.

“You must be working hard, especially during the busy season for grape farming?”

“Ah, it’s all part of my job. As a man of the Armeina territory, this is the least we can do.”

It seemed they knew each other as they conversed quite familiarly.

His blushing face made it clear he had feelings for Ryuz.

The effort he made not to stare at her chest was almost pitiable.

‘Ryuz must already know about this.’

Of course, a beautiful and noble girl like Ryuz wouldn’t notice such a guy.

Moreover, Ryuz was already deeply infatuated with me.

I wondered if this guy could even imagine Ryuz naked, riding on top of her teacher, shaking her hips.

Just seeing that erotic scene would make other women unsatisfying for life.

‘Well, he’ll probably never get to see it anyway.’

As I stood there, I got a bit bored.

I stealthily reached out and firmly grabbed Ryuz’s bouncy buttocks from behind.

“Ah!”

Ryuz tensed her body and let out an erotic moan.

Her arousing moan could involuntarily excite any man, causing the young man to blush.

“Ry, Lady Ryuz? Are you okay?”

“Oh, ahaha… Yes, sorry. Something must have bitten me.”

“Is, is that so. Uh, and who is this gentleman?”

The young man’s face turned to me.

Seeing the woman he liked walking side by side with another man must have bothered him.

“I’m her private magic tutor. We’re out for training right now.”

After saying this, I naturally took Ryuz’s hand.

The young man looked slightly surprised but then grew solemn as he saw Ryuz’s flushed face and silent demeanor.

“A, a magician?”

“Yes, currently living in the lord’s castle with Ryuz, working together on magic research.”

“Ah…”

He should understand by this point.

The young man, realizing his defeat as a male, eventually continued on his way, babbling.

It might seem a bit harsh, but it’s better than clinging to an unattainable dream.

“Hmm… Teacher?”

Then Ryuz called out to me quietly.

With an expression that seemed to epitomize the word ‘sultry’.

“… What’s up?”

“Teacher, you were jealous of that man, weren’t you?”

Ryuz giggled, a mischievous smile on her face.

Cute, but somehow…

‘A bit cheeky, isn’t she?’

I held Ryuz’s hand and started walking briskly.

Ryuz laughed and quickly followed.

“Aww~ Teacher, why the hurry?”

“I guess it can’t be helped. I need to punish our naughty girl soon.”

It was time for the real outdoor play.

I wondered if Ryuz could remain so composed then.

My inner sadistic curiosity kept pushing me forward.
