The Absolute Beings Obsessed with My Defeat Addiction

“Um… What brings you here?”

I asked her after noticing the attendants standing behind her.

The fact that she brought attendants meant she had come as a princess of the Silvesta family for an official schedule.

She probably didn’t come here for revenge.

“You said to come a week later.”

“Ah.”

That’s right.

After Helen Silvesta’s Illusion Magic test, I had told her:

– Please come back in a week. I will conduct the survey then. Until then, reflect on your desires as much as possible, Ms. Helen.

So today was the day.

“So you came all the way here as Princess Silvesta?”

I looked at her attendants.

Two knights, five maids, and ten soldiers.

Plus, there was a shining silver carriage that seemed to belong to Helen.

To come to a small shop in the same imperial capital with such a procession was quite something.

I had heard that Marquis Silvesta had more power and wealth than most dukes in the empire.

‘Could they really flaunt like this even when coming to a place like this?’

I felt a twinge of envy.

Some people can’t even pay their shop rent and have to work part-time.

“Yeah. I clearly said I would come as Princess Silvesta. What? You didn’t forget, did you?”

“Forget? No way.”

I had forgotten.

Of course, I had already prepared the survey list for her, but if I had remembered properly, I wouldn’t have been enjoying the Nanako video.

‘Thank goodness there was a glitch.’

Otherwise, I would have run out of mana and wouldn’t have been able to do anything.

“Please come in.”

Just as I was about to open the shop door to welcome Helen, a knight spoke up.

“Miss, I think it would be better if you don’t enter such a suspicious shop.”

The knight had been looking at me with a disapproving gaze since I first opened the door.

The man in shining silver armor, like the emblem of the Silvesta Knights, approached me with a wary expression.

“This shop is filled with suspicious rumors. There are even rumors that the owner sold his soul to a demon.”

What?

Such rumors had spread about our shop?

Sold my soul to a demon?

I was just trying to entertain people with Illusion Magic.

And none of you even came here.

This is unfair.

“That man might do something to you, Miss. It would be better to turn back now…”

The glare directed at me was as fierce as that of someone seeking revenge.

Anyone would think I had done something to Helen.

‘Well, I did.’

I hadn’t had sex with her, but I had seen quite a bit of her body.

I had even pressed my dick against her chest.

‘This is a bit embarrassing.’

If Helen were to turn back now, I wouldn’t have been able to say anything.

What could I do?

It was natural for someone who heard rumors slandering our shop to react that way.

But Helen’s response upon returning was unexpected.

“Who dared to interfere?”

“Uh, Miss?”

Helen glared at the knight who had stepped between us.

“I’m sure I said it before, didn’t I? You’re just here for show. Do you think I, blessed by the spirits, need the protection of ordinary knights?”

Helen’s voice, directed at the knight, was as cold as the northern wind.

“Miss, I…”

“If you’re going to talk about loyalty or whatever, shut up. The fact that you, a mere attendant, dared to interfere with what I’m doing is disloyalty itself.”

That was fierce.

I shrugged my shoulders in a gesture of consolation towards the knight.

I knew well how it felt to be on the receiving end.

Your lady has a bit of a temper, doesn’t she?

I sympathized.

But perhaps my intention was miscommunicated, as the knight’s gaze towards me began to burn even more fiercely.

Seriously, even when someone is worried about you, it’s a hassle.

“I’m sorry.”

“Then get lost.”

Helen waved her hand dismissively.

“Anyway, there’s no place for you in this shop, so stay at the mansion until I call you with the spirits. Or kill time at a nearby restaurant.”

“But Miss, we…”

“Didn’t you hear me? We don’t need people like you here.”

The knight clenched his fists, but he couldn’t muster a word to say to Helen.

“Understood.”

The knight, unable to win against Helen, lowered his head and retreated.

The sight of him walking away helplessly resembled that of an employee returning after being scolded by a boss, which was somewhat pitiful.

He should have known to be more mindful of his superior and recognize when to back off.

As I watched the Silvesta attendants move away, Helen tugged at my sleeve.

“What are you doing? Let’s go in.”

“Is it really okay to let them go like that? You said it was an official schedule for Princess Silvesta.”

“Right.”

“I thought those knights would beat me up thoroughly.”

At my words, Helen’s expression crumpled.

As if she had heard something absurd.

“What? Why would I? Is it because I showed you such an illusion and humiliated you?”

“Of course. Do you remember how much the Silvesta lady was throwing a fit back then?”

Her face slightly flushed as she stared at me, then she abruptly turned her head away.

“…At first, I was angry, but then I thought about it. It wasn’t something that happened in reality, right? And that loser couldn’t actually do that to me, and my father wouldn’t abandon me either.”

She surprisingly had a strong mental fortitude.

“I see. Then couldn’t you have come privately?”

“My pride wouldn’t allow it.”

“Pride?”

“Yeah. I have to show the dignity of Silvesta at least once so that you treat me properly, right?”

But that wouldn’t change the illusion.

I couldn’t quite understand the mind of a noble lady.

“Understood. Then let’s proceed with the survey. As I mentioned before, just write down the desires of the Silvesta lady honestly. There will be several questions, so please answer them all truthfully.”

Just as I was about to take out her customized survey paper.

“Why do you keep calling me the Silvesta lady since earlier?”

“Excuse me?”

“Last time you called me by my name, so why are you calling me the Silvesta lady now?”

“Didn’t you dislike it?”

I had seen it in the illusion.

How she treated those who dared to call her by her name.

She had always been proud to be a dick of the Silvesta family.

Moreover, she had said that only family could call her by her name.

‘Back then, I intentionally called her by her name to make the illusion feel a bit more real.’

But now, there was no need for that.

“Instructor is fine.”

“…?”

I’m fine?

“You’re a skilled magician. Honestly, even the top professors at the academy seemed trivial compared to you, but I never felt that way about your magic. Instead, I felt a wall.”

Helen crossed her arms as she looked at me.

“You can be happy about that. Honestly, you’re the only Instructor I acknowledge.”

Wait a minute, it seems like her way of addressing me has changed.

“You’re calling me Instructor now.”

“I mean… I said I acknowledge you, but I can’t keep calling you ‘you’.”

Her face was flushed bright red.

Was it her first time acknowledging someone else?

She was surprisingly shy for a noble lady.

“Understood. Then I’ll call you Miss Helen from now on.”

“Good.”

“Then, Miss Helen, let’s start the survey. Just write down your desires honestly. Since you’ve shown various sides of yourself, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

I handed her the paper.

“Hmph, I know that too.”

As Helen took the paper and read the first line, she screamed, “Ah! You, you’re crazy?”

She had returned to calling me ‘you’ from ‘Instructor.’

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? Are you seriously asking that after seeing this question?”

She pointed at the first line of the survey paper and shouted.

– Are you a virgin? (Yes / No)

“Y-you’re asking a noble lady whether she’s a virgin or not! How rude…”

Helen’s face turned bright red, and she couldn’t finish her sentence.

She was more embarrassed than I had expected.

“I told you. You have to be honest about your desires, right?”

“Y-you pervert!”

***

After experiencing Max’s Illusion Magic, Helen Silvesta returned to the mansion engulfed in thought.

“What should I do?”

As the daughter of the Silvesta family, she had displayed disgraceful behavior in front of a man.

More than once.

Of course, it was all her own doing.

At first, she had gone to target Yuris’s weakness and ended up in a predicament, and then she had gone to figure out Max’s intentions when he visited her academy.

None of it had gone as she intended, and she had been swept away by Max, but it didn’t feel bad.

‘In fact, it felt good.’

That sensation was new to her.

Helen, a noble lady raised delicately, had never engaged with a man before, remaining a pure virgin.

That’s why it would be etched deeply in her memory.

Max looking down at her.

His thick fingers.

His broad chest, unlike hers.

His hot lips.

And the grotesque sight of his manhood standing firm.

It was certainly that loser, Aeson, who had tormented her in the illusion, but what remained in Helen’s mind was Max’s figure.

“Ha, ha.”

Max’s words to be honest about her desires.

– Reflect on your desires until you come next time.

That command to reflect on her desires kept echoing in her mind.

As soon as those words ended, the humiliation she had suffered came flooding back.

Max pressing down on her.

He was holding a whip.

– You’re an inferior student. You couldn’t even get this right.

Inferior student?

Me?

‘Instructor…’

No.

I’m the greatest genius.

The entire academy acknowledged it.

Even Professor Simond, the best spirit magic professor.

My father cherishes me the most.

I am a genius.

A genius.

– You didn’t get a single one right out of twenty questions.

No way.

That can’t be true.

I just want to trample you someday.

– Did you come to show me such a sight?

– I asked if you were going to take the test to show off your pathetic grades as an inferior student.

No.

I wanted to somehow break through Illusion Magic…

I wanted to win.

The powerful ego that wouldn’t allow anyone to be above her was what drove Helen Silvesta.

She had always lived a life of being praised and admired.

So she wanted to win against Max no matter what.

She wanted to uncover the secrets of his magic.

Helen, who had shown genius in every field, felt a wall for the first time with that man.

She wanted to stand above him and speak.

Max, I have defeated you.

Just like those other mediocre professors.

I have to do that.

– To get such a simple question wrong, it seems Miss Helen will need remedial classes.

At the sound of Max’s words echoing in her head, her body trembled.

Each of his condescending words acted as a catalyst, heightening her pleasure.

Her lower abdomen grew warm.

It felt as if her heart was pounding in her womb.

“Instructor…”

Creak, creak.

She realized that her lower body had been wet for some time.

And her hand slipped into her panties.

“Please teach me, as an inferior student.”

After a week had passed, when she faced Max again.

“Lady Silvesta?”

Seeing Max hitting the wall, she felt inexplicably angry.

The reason she had snapped at the knight was also because of that.

In fact, bringing attendants had not been to request that she be treated as Lady Silvesta.

It was because her butler had asked her to take guards and attendants since she had been moving too personally lately.

But suddenly, he was hitting the wall like this.

He had called her by her name last time.

“You can be happy about that. Honestly, you’re the only Instructor I acknowledge.”

“Understood. Then I’ll call you Miss Helen from now on.”

“Good.”

When he called her Helen again, she felt a strange sense of relief.

‘He’s following my words.’

Today seemed like it would go well.

Of course.

– Are you a virgin? (Yes / No)

That question made her face flush red again.

“You pervert!”

As she raged at Max, she secretly circled ‘Yes’ on the survey.

“I-I’m only doing this because it’s a survey! Don’t get the wrong idea!”

With a face flushed with embarrassment, Helen continued with the survey.

And she faced her desires once more.
