Free Web NovelChapter 193: The Cat-Ear Girl Who Looked Unwell During Lunch
A few more days had passed. So far, the days had been remarkably peaceful. Rigel was getting on edge because he couldn’t find any rape opportunities.
(What the hell... No interesting chances keep showing up! Has the universe suddenly turned its back on me!?)
Rigel complained inwardly. He had already relieved his sexual desire almost every day. He had raped Nino, Rebecca, Ero-Ra, Oriana, and others. But the novelty was lacking. To feel satisfied, he needed new situations and fresh targets. That would also raise the level of his cheat skill [Rape].
Skill Name: Rape
Rarity: ★5 (MAX)
Level: 13
(Levels up with the number and frequency of rapes and the content of the acts. If no creampie is given, it doesn’t count.)
Effects: Physical ability and magical power improve with skill level. The sense of aversion toward rape disappears. New effects are added once the level reaches a certain point.
Additional Effect (Level 5): He can boost the physical ability and magical power of allies. The boost rate and duration depend on his relationship with them.
Additional Effect (Level 10): He can change his own voice quality. The maximum change depends on the skill level.
Compared to before, the skill level had increased by two. When he returned to the Goussel Marquis mansion from the former Valestain Kingdom, the level was 11. Since then, he had raped and creampied many people. Maids and slaves at the Goussel mansion, another maid on the way to the capital, the female knight, the tutor he hired for the entrance exam, and various examinees during the exam’s spare time. Those acts raised the level to 13.
However, once he had raped someone, leveling up was inefficient if he simply raped them in a routine situation. More importantly, it was boring. He wanted fresh stimulation, so during lunch he was wandering around the academy. Then—
(Hm?)
Suddenly, a cat-ear girl crossed his field of vision. He didn’t recognize her. Her gait was unsteady and uncertain. She looked like she might be unwell.
(Hmm...)
Rigel observed the girl with interest. His gaze gradually turned into that of a hunter seeking prey. He wasn’t planning to rape an unhealthy girl specifically. With his ability, he could rape any convenient girl anyway. He was just hoping something interesting would come of it.
(Let’s try talking to her first)
Just as Rigel decided this—
Wobble...
The girl seemed about to fall.
"Oops..."
Rigel moved quickly and caught the girl just before she fell.
"Are you okay?"
"... Ah..."
The girl looked up at Rigel with dazed eyes. He felt a slight shock. Her pupils were like dead fish. But it was only a moment. The girl quickly came back to herself.
"I-I’m sorry..."
She tried to pull away from him. Her cat ears twitched, and her tail swayed.
(Villagers...)
Rigel examined her fully. She had white cat ears that were flicking on her head and a matching white tail coming from her butt. She was wearing the academy uniform. She looked like an ordinary cat-girl villager.
"Hey."
"...Yes?"
"You look unwell. You were swaying."
Rigel asked her. The girl stayed silent for a while, then spoke.
"No... I’m fine."
"You’re lying. It’s obvious."
"U..."
The girl fell silent, looking awkward at Rigel’s words. Villagers have superior physical abilities. It wasn’t common for them to collapse from a slight sway. If she looked unwell, it was natural to assume so.
"I’ll take you to the infirmary. Or would you rather leave early? It’s lunch break now, so it’s a good time to do so."
"...No. It’s not that serious. I’ll be fine if I rest for a while."
"Then lie all you want. My eyes can’t be fooled."
"...!!"
Rigel stared at her with sharp eyes. The girl instinctively looked away.
(Hmph... That settles it.)
"Alright, let’s go. I’ll carry you on my back."
Rigel squatted with his back to her. It looked gentlemanly, but what he was hoping for was a fresh rape situation. Right now, he was simply acting on impulse.
"N-no... That’s..."
The girl still hesitated. Was she wary of Rigel? No. He hadn’t shown any violence yet. There must be some reason behind her reluctance.
"What’s wrong? Do you have some reason you don’t want to go to the infirmary or leave early?"
"Um... W-well..."
"...Can’t be helped."
Rigel said that and lifted the girl up. Her body was light, like a kitten.
"Hyaw!"
"For now, let’s sit on that bench over there. If you’re okay with it, I’ll listen to your story."
"Ah... Um..."
The girl tried to speak, but Rigel ignored her and headed toward the bench. Thus, Rigel’s lunch break was about to take an unexpected turn.
—-
The lunch break at the Royal Academy. Rigel spotted a cat-ear beast-girl girl who looked unwell. He could have just let her be, but he hoped something interesting would come of it, so he called out to her. Then he picked her up and headed toward the bench.
"Come on, sit."
"U-um..."
"Just sit."
Rigel said that and made the cat-ear girl sit on the bench. He himself sat down right next to her. For a while, silence filled the space. Rigel glanced at the girl. She was blushing and looking down.
(Hmm...)
Rigel thought to himself. Her cat ears were flicking, and her tail was swaying. Villagers were known for proud warriors, but for this girl, cuteness stood out more. Rigel reached out and lightly pinched her cat ear.
"Nyaa!?"
The girl’s body jerked. Rigel, paying her no mind, petted and played with her cat ear.
"Nyaa..."
A sweet tone entered the girl’s voice.
(Hmm...)
Rigel observed her reaction. Was this acting, or was she really feeling it? He couldn’t tell, but she didn’t seem to genuinely dislike it.
(Let’s touch her a little more...)
Rigel continued caressing her cat ear. Cat ears were extremely sensitive to beastkin. The girl’s body trembled with each of his fingers’ movements.
"Ah... Um..."
The girl opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then closed it again.
"Amu..."
Rigel took her cat ear into his mouth and lightly bit it.
"Hyaau!!"
A high-pitched sound escaped the girl’s mouth. Rigel kept playing with her cat ear.
"Nya... Nyaa..."
The girl’s body trembled. Rigel’s sadistic side was tickled, but it was still more important to hear her story. He pulled his mouth away from her cat ear.
"Haa..."
The girl let out a sad breath.
(Hmm... She really is cute. I could forcibly rape her, but let’s see how things go for now...)
Rigel was thinking this as he asked her again.
"So?"
"...Eh?"
"You’re clearly unwell, yet you don’t want to go to the infirmary or leave early. Tell me why."
Rigel pressed further. The girl showed hesitation for a moment. But the skinship earlier must have worked, because she finally spoke quietly.
"...It would trouble my parents."
"Your parents? Are they the kind of people who would get angry at a sick daughter coming home?"
"...No. It’s not like that."
"Then why do you think so? That explanation doesn’t make sense. Tell me more."
Rigel pressed. The girl opened her mouth slowly.
"...What class are you in?"
"Hm? Ah, I’m in first-year S-class."
"Eh? S-class...!?"
The girl was shocked by his answer.
"...To someone like you, my suffering is unimaginable."
"...? What do you mean?"
The girl spoke, then tried to stand up. Rigel grabbed her hand.
"Hey, we’re not done talking yet."
"...Please let go."
"I don’t want to. It’s annoying if you run away halfway."
"...I see. So as someone from S-class, you’re arrogant."
Rigel answered. The girl seemed to have given up and sat back down on the bench.
"So? What’s next?"
"..."
"The S-class me is excellent, right? You’re in the academy too, right? You’re definitely much better than the average person. It’s not good to belittle yourself."
"No... I’m not that great of a person."
The girl shook her head. Then, in a heavy tone, she continued.
"I... I’m a fallen person — the bottom of the E-class."
"Hm? E-class?"
Rigel tilted his head. He had never heard of such a class.
"Did an E-class exist?"
"Right. As expected... To someone from S-class, an E-class is nothing. We’re people who barely passed. We’re nothing."
"..."
Rigel recalled. The S-class had a splendid classroom and equipment. The A-class next door was also decent. The B-class, which he had briefly seen, was fine too.
(There was even an E-class. The lower the class, the worse the treatment... So this girl really is a fallen person.)
Rigel thought while looking at the girl. Then he thought.
Rape her by force right away or become friends first and then rape her... His conclusion was—
