The Main Character is the Villain

“Elsi. Do you like it that much?”

“I do.”

Elsi said with a nod. The ring I gave her was hanging from her neck. It seemed impossible to fit the ring onto her characteristically furry and thick beastfolk fingers. She had looked at her fingers with some regret, but she seemed happy enough just to be able to wear it around her neck.

I reached out and touched Elsi's ring. Elsi brought her face closer, making it easier for me to touch it. I asked.

“Have you tried on the clothes?”

“I can't put them on by myself. The buttons are too difficult.”

Elsi's usual clothes must have been tailored for beastfolk hands, as the buttonholes were large enough for her cat paws to fasten them easily. But the academy school uniform boasted a tight finish with no consideration for other races, making it impossible for Elsi's clumsy dexterity to put it on neatly.

“Ask Sieri for help later.”

“The nun? Understood.”

They were selling subscriptions for cheap when I visited the Ahildern Kingdom last time, so I'd asked them to send one, and they actually did. When I took my hand off her, Elsi asked with a dissatisfied look.

“Cleric. Are we not copulating today?”

“How about a little later? I need to read this letter right now.”

The letter was anonymous. There was nothing written on the envelope, making it impossible to know how it got here. All I could tell was that the letter smelled like old parchment. I sniffed the envelope and opened my status window.

[Letter – A letter addressed to someone. It is imbued with magic power.]

It seemed even the status window couldn't tell me if this letter was dangerous or not. I spoke to Elsi.

“Elsi. I have to work for a bit, could you go downstairs? On your way, please call for Sonia Yaivan.”

“Understood. But who is that?”

“The mage.”

“Ah.”

When is she ever going to learn everyone's names? When I glanced at Elsi, she quickly averted her gaze and went downstairs.

I tensed up again, carefully relaxing my hands. This world was dangerous and I had many enemies, so there was no telling what trickery this letter might contain. I had originally planned to just burn it without reading, but whatever it was made of, it wouldn't catch fire. I placed the letter back on the desk and waited for Soya.

The door opened with the tap, tap of a staff. Soya leaned against the door, her face slightly flushed as she spoke.

“Ah, he-hello, My Lord. Oh, it's been a while.”

“Yes. Sonia Yaivan. It has been a while. Have you been well?”

“Yes. Thanks to your boundless grace, My Lord, I've been...”

“That's a relief. Your leg... I looked into it briefly. Too much time has passed since it was broken, so a Heal won't be able to treat it. I'm sorry.”

“Ah, no, My Lord. Just the fact that you took me in is... that...”

Soya's large breasts swayed. When she bowed slightly, her cleavage was starkly revealed. I wanted to throw down that lewd, tall figure as soon as possible, but I had to endure the surging desire. Messing with a mage could become troublesome in many ways. I pushed the letter toward Soya and said.

“A letter arrived, but it's a bit suspicious.”

“Suspicious?”

“Yes. Would you mind taking a look?”

If I couldn't burn it and felt uneasy about tearing it, entrusting it to a mage was the best option. Soya carefully picked up the letter and injected mana into her fingertips. Her eyes turned a blue light, and her hair and her rocket-like breasts floated up.

My god, her breasts are floating?

“Hoo...”

Was I hypnotized by her breasts, floating and bobbing like advertising balloons? I felt the time Soya spent examining the letter was far too short. The light flickering at her fingertips faded, and her breasts descended again. Whether she knew my gaze was fixed on her chest or not, Soya focused on the letter and said.

“Hmm, there's nothing particularly wrong with it. It just has a protection magic cast on it. The magic power is immense... The owner of this letter must be an incredible mage.”

“Protection magic, you say? Could you examine it one more time?”

“Pardon?”

“Yes. You never know, just in case.”

“Ah, yes.”

Her breasts began to sway again. I slowly rubbed my cock under the office desk and nodded. Unaware of my lewd conduct, Soya offered the letter back to me.

“Yes. There's nothing wrong, you should be able to open it normally.”

“Ah, yes. Yes. But you said there was protection magic on it?”

I changed my expression and maintained a calm tone as I took the letter from Soya.

“Yes. However, it was dispelled the moment it touched your hand, My Lord. I think it's a measure taken so that only you could open it. Do you have a mage acquaintance?”

“A mage acquaintance? No.”

Who could it be? I carefully tore open the envelope. Just as Soya had described, nothing happened when I opened it. I checked the status window again.

[Opened Letter – A letter that has been torn open by someone.]

“What the fuck.”

“Ah, what's wrong?”

“It's nothing. Sonia Yaivan. You've done well. You may go back down and rest easy now.”

“Ah, My Lord.”

“What is it?”

When I looked at Soya again, she fidgeted with her fingers and asked in a barely audible voice.

“Th-the capital... I heard you went.”

“Yes.”

“I was wondering if, um... my gift... if you bought one too...”

I was at a loss. I had no idea what to give Soya. I changed the subject.

“Sonia Yaivan. What do mages like? I wanted to buy you a nice gift from the capital, but I didn't know what mages prefer, so I couldn't choose anything in the end. I heard that mages can be sensitive about certain gifts. What do you like? I've been wanting to ask you that, so thank you for bringing it up first. It'll be a slightly late gift, but I'll order something from the capital especially for you.”

“Ah, ah, no! Your thought is more than enough! Really! I... um... just the thought... just the thought... hehe... the thought...”

Soya bowed, laughing in a slightly unsettling way. Her silly grin was a little uneasy to watch, so I decided to send her down for now. She would figure out what kind of gift she wanted on her own. Even by my standards, giving her a school uniform or lingerie right now felt a bit much.

“Then, Sonia Yaivan. Go down and think a bit about your gift. I need to read this letter.”

“Yes, ehe...”

Soya disappeared, beaming as she tapped her staff. I should get that limping leg fixed, but it was a shame that a leg that had healed after being crippled couldn't be fixed even with a Heal. It's not that a disabled person is unsightly, but the aftermath of torture should be treated.

When I tore open the outer envelope, there was a yellowed paper inside. It might not have been discolored, but that could have been its original color. I sniffed it and smelled herbs and parchment. As I shook the letter out, the envelope instantly burned up and vanished.

“Fuck!”

Startled, I brushed away the ash scattering in the empty air and stared at the remaining parchment on the desk. What kind of bastard pulls a prank like this?

The parchment was folded into a heart shape. On top of it were faint crease marks, as if it had been refolded several times. I carefully began to unfold the parchment. Once completely unfolded, it lay stiffly flat, as if it had never been folded at all.

Colorful, beautiful handwriting, like embedded beadwork, densely filled the parchment. I couldn't help but pause at the very first sentence.

[The Northern Region is cold today, too, without you. Lusius. Are you thinking of me?]

“Ah, Ati...”

Ati. My spiritual mother, and the dragon who was destined to produce breast milk.

[A cold wind always blows in the valleys of the mountain range. The sound of the wind wails so mournfully that the humans of old used to spread rumors that a banshee lived in this valley.

Lusius, do you know about banshees? The ghosts who wail miserably to announce a person's death. There are various theories about the existence of banshees, but the most plausible one is that they originated from the sight of madmen who went insane waiting for their husbands who died on the battlefield. Lately, the sound from the valley has started to sound to me like the wailing of ghosts.

That voice often frightens me, telling me I'll never see you again, Lusius, that you will die a gruesome death at the hands of Deorgon. What would become of me if you were to die? Would I go on living as usual? No, I wouldn't be able to. You are the only flame that has made me burn throughout my life, you are my everything. Perhaps I too will wail like a banshee if you die.

That is why both I and my child are always praying for you to grow stronger. They say dragons are proud, but for the one they love, they become the biggest cowards of all.]

“A child?”

Ati had a child? My question was answered on the very next line.

[You must be very surprised to hear about a child, right? Lusius. Be happy for me. A child has been conceived between you and me. We spent every night together in bed during my fertile period, didn't we? Deorgon seems to think it's his child, but I know. This child was conceived between you and me. This vitality squirming in my womb, this hot passion. The unique vitality of an elf.

This is your child, Lusius. I know it more certainly than anyone. I plan to clearly educate the child on who its father is. I will tell it that you are the sweetest, most mannerly, and wonderful man in the world, so don't you worry.]

“Ha...”

Ati being pregnant was a good thing. It meant I would have my first child. It was just a shame I couldn't go see her right now. Eve would be disappointed that her first pregnancy was stolen from her, but it couldn't be helped. Dragon sex was just that great of a feat.

[The Northern Region is cold today, too, without you. Lusius. I hope you're thinking of me too. A reply isn't necessary. Just, be sure to come find me.]

I put the letter down and collected my thoughts. Ati needed me to be saved from the clutches of the wicked Deorgon. Since she was waiting for me now in the northern mountain range, I needed to become even stronger. I began to chant the secret spell for getting stronger that I had hidden in my heart.

“Dragon sex. Hero rape.”

My mind cleared a little.
