- Maristel’s Temptation

Maristel gazed at me with moist eyes and leaned in, pressing her face against mine. Her soft skin transmitted warmth to my body, and a sweet scent tickled my nostrils.
During my salaryman days, I often frequented cabaret clubs with my seniors, but Maristel was far more sensual and voluptuous compared to those cast members. Simply put, she was erotic, excessively so.
Maristel didn’t bother hiding her desires. She wasn’t teasing or playing with me. All I had to do was nod, and I’d be drawn into a dizzying world of sensuality.
However—Â
“I must decline. I have a beloved wife.”
I declared this and pushed Maristel away.
It might seem like I’m using Mrs. Isezaki as a shield, but it’s better to firmly refuse such propositions.
Getting involved in something like this would undoubtedly lead to trouble down the line, as my senior colleagues who have experienced it firsthand can attest. I have no intention of succumbing to lust and inviting trouble.
“Oh, how uptight of you. I wish you’d loosen up a bit with me. But if it won’t get Isezaki involved, that’s fine. Of course, I’ll keep quiet… okay?”
“I’m fine, thank you. Now, please, back off.”
Despite my attitude and words, Maristel paid no heed and continued to press her body against mine.
Stretching her neck forward towards my chest, she wrinkled her nose as if she were tasting wine.
“Oh… the intense magical scent emanating from you… it’s truly irresistible. I can’t resist until the end of work! Let’s do it in those bushes over there. How about it!?”
“That’s out of the question. And if you’re so eager to satisfy your desires, why not entice one of the Carius soldiers? There are plenty around here.”
While pushing Maristel away, I pointed to the soldiers patrolling the area with torches in hand. However, although Maristel glanced at the soldiers, she quickly averted her eyes, looking uninterested.
“No, that won’t do… Maybe it’s because I caught a whiff of your scent, but I can’t feel anything even when I look at regular soldiers. So, how about taking responsibility for that? You can just stand there and gaze at the stars. Come on, just the tip, okay?”
Maristel suddenly squatted down and began undoing my belt. She was completely shameless.
“Hey, you really need to stop that! If you don’t stop… Hey, seriously, stop! If you persist—”
I moved away from Maristel and reached out towards her. Maristel initially looked surprised, but as soon as she understood, her face turned pale, and she retreated.
“Oh my! That’s right, you’re the one who ruined my Orc King Zombie-chan! No wonder you look so pathetic. I completely forgot about that!”
“You shouldn’t talk like that. …Anyway, I’d like to get back to work now. Could you leave?”
Maristel stared at my outstretched hand for a while, then sighed deeply and casually brushed her hair aside. Even such a gesture was undeniably sexy.
“Sigh… Well, there’s no helping it. Since Isezaki is nearby today and you’re not in the mood, I’ll let it go for now.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Hehe, being teased like this might not be so bad after all♡ Will you bring the reward next time? I’ll be looking forward to it. Bye-bye for now!”
Maristel blew me a kiss, then teleported away several times, disappearing from view in an instant.
“Phew…”
With the threat gone, I silently exhaled. I want to commend myself for not giving in to lust, at least for now.
But still, there’s an indescribable sense of unease lingering. Of course, enduring it doesn’t mean I’m free from all desires.
I absentmindedly gazed at the whitening sky, trying to calm the murky feeling inside me.
But then, the lingering scent of Maristel brushed past my nose, and words slipped out of my mouth.
“Oh… I wonder if I made a mistake…”
“What do you mean by ‘a mistake,’ sir?”
“Whoa!”
A sudden voice made my heart leap.
Turning towards the source of the voice, I realized Isezaki-san was standing there out of nowhere. Huh? Why!?
With a puzzled tilt of her head, Isezaki-san questioned me again.
“What do you mean by ‘a mistake’?”
“Huh? Did I say that!? Maybe I blurted something weird out of tiredness! But, Isezaki-san, what about you?”
Feeling somewhat guilty, I turned the question back to Isezaki-san.
“I had a bad feeling that something untoward might happen to you, so I woke up… By the way, I thought I saw Maristel earlier. She disappeared with a warp almost immediately.”
“Oh, right. Seems like she got bored after work and came to chat for a bit.”
“I see… Sir, did Maristel do something inappropriate to you? If she did, I’ll give her a piece of my mind.”
Isezaki-san made a gesture as if tightening an imaginary neck with both hands.
“No, no, it was just a little teasing, nothing more.”
It’s better to keep quiet about Maristel’s nighttime invitation. That’s not the kind of story you tell to an underage girl. That’s it.
…Yet, why am I breaking into a cold sweat under Isezaki-san’s gaze?
“Is that so? Are you sure…?”
Under Isezaki-san’s suspicious gaze, I nodded repeatedly.
“Yeah, nothing really happened. Anyway, if you can’t sleep, it’s morning now. Want to observe my work? Only if you’d like.”
“Huh, really!? In that case, I’d be delighted to observe, sir!”
Isezaki-san’s face brightened up with a “Paaah.” It seems like her suspicions cleared along with mine. But what’s going on? I shouldn’t have anything to feel guilty about, yet why am I breaking into such a cold sweat…?
Wiping the sweat off my forehead, I resumed my work under Isezaki-san’s watchful eye.
—
After a while, I lowered the watchtower from the storage. It was the last part of the fortress.
Accompanied by the familiar cheers of the soldiers, I and Isezaki-san landed on the top tier of the watchtower using levitation magic and surveyed the surroundings.
From the watchtower, we could see the sheer cliffs illuminated by the morning sun, casting shadows that accentuated the natural fortress, along with the towering and thick stone walls. Beyond them, there was a wilderness where shadowy figures were moving. It was Maristel’s army of living dead.
Their presence is reassuring, but it seems the living dead don’t mind the sun…
“This can truly be called an impregnable fortress. As long as it stands here, there’s no need to fear the Digram army.”
Ascending the watchtower, Captain Higuner spoke, gazing at the scenery below with deep emotion.
“To build such a fortress overnight is not recorded in any war history I know of. I thought it was just a story from Lady Levia, but to actually make it a reality… Matsunaga-sama, I apologize deeply for yesterday.”
“Hehe, have you finally understood? My husband is amazing!”
Captain Higuner bowed his head apologetically, and Isezaki-san proudly puffed out her chest. After giving a wry smile of apology to Isezaki-san, Captain Higuner performed a perfect salute, aligning even his fingertips.
“Leave the rest to us. We’ll protect this place with our lives!”
The initial impression was a complete departure from being labeled a fraudster, displaying a sincere attitude. If I receive this much gratitude, then all the struggles were worth it.
And above all, if this land is protected, there will be no invasion by the Digram army into Grandain, where Lady Levia resides.
If that happens, I can finally live peacefully between the other world and Earth. This marks the end of this incident.
As I gazed at the satisfied faces of Captain Higuner and the soldiers, I finally felt the weight lifted off my shoulders.
