[TTH] 21 – The beginning of an otome game. Finally, the anticipated time has come, but wait a minute, is this supposed to be the scenario? (2)

It's natural, but I, who am still Richeli inside, do not possess even a fragment of magical power.

That said, I'm going to magic school. Is it fate or what?

Over the past two years, I've subtly suggested to my father, the Duke, Zinon, and the instructors who teach me to be a queen at the palace that I might not attend magic school.

Regardless of my wishes, the story proceeds as per the game.

How do I carve out my life? I remember my last interaction with Richeli and complain in my heart.

If things go as they are, Zinon will meet the heroine of the otome game "Magic Eyes" today or tomorrow, in the not-too-distant future.

What if that cute, popular heroine chooses Zinon as her target to conquer after showing me the scene of their fateful meeting?

Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.

Without being able to avoid the bad end ahead, I might do something stupid, like getting jealous and interfering with the heroine and Zinon, according to the scenario.

Of course, my character would be more suitable to go to the convent.

Naturally, I am prepared both mentally and practically for that.

This is not only to desperately keep from falling too much in love with Zinon but also to be prepared to enter any convent; I have been regularly visiting all the monasteries for nearly two years and have become familiar with the sisters.

I am sad to be so narrow-minded.

When I glance at Zinon, he sits across from me, pulled by Mira, and sipping the hot tea poured for him.

"What is it?"

Zinon looks at me, not moving his lips away from the teacup.

His action is the same as whispering to me maliciously while kissing me.

(No more)

I hate it so much that I'm the only one excited and aware of it to a ridiculous extent.

"Do I have any reason to go to magic school without magical power? ...Is it part of the queen's education?"

When I say that, Zinon, Mira, and Wanda exchange glances with subtle expressions.

"? What's wrong?"

Mira and Wanda start to fidget.

As for Zinon, the area under his eyes is slightly red. Ugh, he's so sexy.

Mira first broke the awkward atmosphere that was flowing uniformly, looking up at the sky and searching for words.

"The queen's education...well, um... It's a little different from the foreign languages, history, politics, manners, and dance that you always do, but...um... because you've lost your magical power, the reason for going to magic school will surely come out from now on..."

"??? Is that so?"

"Well... well, you'll understand soon. If not immediately."

Mira mutters, and Wanda silences her with a slight narrowing of her eyes.

Not understanding well, I twisted my neck, playing with my loosely braided platinum blonde hair that fell over my baby blue dress. My gaze fell on the anomaly on the table.

There was a basket of freshly baked bread, a teapot and teacups, silver cutlery with egg dishes and prosciutto, butter and pumpkin potage soup, warm vegetable salad, and strawberry mousse.

"Ah, I thought something was missing. Wanda that grape juice I always drink isn't here, is it?"

At this, Wanda and Mira blushed and jumped up in surprise.

"La... Lady. We will excuse ourselves now. Please come down to the lobby when you have finished your meal and when you are ready. We have prepared a carriage."

Saying this, Mira and Wanda quickly retreated.

"What's going on..."

As I watched their retreating backs and brought the strawberry mousse to my mouth, Zinon sighed. He looked down at me, his cheek resting on his hand.

"You've been drinking Majiram, haven't you?"

"! ...Kah... cough, cough!"

Surprised by the unexpected word that flew out of Zinon's mouth, I choked on the mousse. Zinon gave me a glass of water with an exasperated look.

"Haa, haa, haa,...wh... why, Zinon..."

"I know. Everyone drinks Majiram mixed with grape juice. The flower of Majiram is purple."

"S...so...that's right. ...No, this is just a habit. I mean... I..."

What should I say? I can't make an excuse. Are you saying there are no symptoms of needing to suppress my arousal?

As I squirmed, my eyes darting around, Zinon pulled my chair and seated himself next to me, pulling my shoulder close to face him.

"From today, we will not drink Majiram. Neither you nor I."

"Huh? ...What?! Zinon was also drinking? Wh..."

I couldn't ask why. Could it be...

"Did you wonder why I wasn't getting an erection? You. After all the kissing we've done for the past two years."

Zinon's shameless words, spoken with a sullen expression, left me stunned and unable to reply. Zinon continued.

"If we don't drink, we'll have a child before marriage, right?"

"!"

"We're both eighteen now. We never intended to stay at the magic academy for two years. Once we're done, we'll get married immediately, okay?"

"Huh?!"

Wait a minute. I can't keep up with this.

I shook my head. I need to calm down.

Since I decided to live as Richeli.

Almost every day, I kissed Zinon. Naturally, I fell in love with him, right? If it continued for two years.

But, but Zinon's body never sought anything more than kisses. The reason, of course, was that he couldn't get an erection with me, after all.

Always, I would glance down at his lower body and get disappointed when I confirmed that his lower half was silent. But what are you saying?

"I have no intention of using contraception. I plan to get married this year, and it's fine if we have a child now."

"Wh...?"

What did you say?

"It’s what Wanda and the others were talking about it earlier."

"Eh? The magic academy's...?"

"That's right."

"?"

"When you sleep with me, my magic power flows into you and accumulates. If it's just a kiss, there's no effect on your body, even with zero magic power. To take in sperm through mucous membrane contact, you need to build resistance to magic power and control it. That's why, starting today, I'll replenish your magic power little by little as you go to magic school."

"...Huh?"

Wait a minute.

Just now, did he say mucous membrane?

So?

Zinon looked down at me, who was frozen like a clay figure, with an exasperated look and a slightly amused look.

His sparkling, sexy blue eyes seemed to torment and provoke me sweetly.

"Do you want to do naughty things with me, little by little, my lady?"
