Ephemeral Ability Reflects the Heart

CH 34.1

「How about this, Izumi-kun?」

A free-time at night.

While Riko is playing with her phone, Chihiro is working on her laptop with Maria. Today’s subject is ero novels on the web that Maria has collected.

In today’s digital age, it is possible to write long sentences without using a pen and paper. So, it’s only natural that there would be a flood of works that cater to people’s desires... Chihiro understood this in theory, but looking at them again, he is still surprised.

「If it’s just text, it doesn’t have much visual impact, but there’s room for imagination」

Unlike AV, anime, photography and manga, novels do not have visuals. Because of this, erotic novels use words in an imaginative way, and try to create a work based on the reader’s image. In a sense, it is the genre with the strongest fictional nature.

「That’s the point. Another factor is the low cost of production. Because it’s so easy to get into, a lot of works are produced, and a variety of tastes and opinions are expressed」

Art, animation, photography, video... the closer it gets to realism, the more accessible and acceptable it becomes, but the more freedom it loses.

This is a depiction born from free thinking.

Many lewd words are interspersed.

It stimulates the reader’s imagination and arouses sensuality.

「...but I think these words are a bit too stimulating」

For example, how many different words are there for genitals alone?

There is no end to the number of ways to refer to it in other languages, metaphorical expressions, pronoun expressions, and so on.

And many of them are of a kind that should not be mentioned casually.

As Maria leaned into Chihiro’s shoulder, she said.

「Ara, it’s okay. To say something so vulgar, so obscene... or arousing. Izumi-kun can understand that, can’t he?」

「Well, yeah」

Asking a partner whether she feels something during the act... even soft verbal abuse like this is meant for shame and psychological arousal, which is the exact same thing.

However, he still feels uncomfortable with direct lewd words.

「I mean, you don’t use it much either, do you?」

Suddenly, Riko looked up from her phone and said to Maria.

That’s true.

Maria is a lecherous active woman, but she uses words more carefully than expected. She uses words like "come" and "service" occasionally, but the rest of the time she prefers to use indirectly suggestive expressions.

It matches the impression Chihiro gets from her, which is that she has a graceful manner.

「Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?」

「Yes, I am」

To Riko’s point, Maria nodded easily.

「Rather than embarrassed, it’s more like "scared"」

「? What do you mean?」

「It means that I’m afraid of losing control」

Well, Riko hasn’t been told the details, but... originally, Maria wanted Chihiro because she wanted a Master who could control her desires.

Without someone to control her, Maria’s rampant sexual desire would eventually go out of control, and she would be ruined in no time.

Likewise, she may have been hesitant to use lewd words.

「So, I don’t dislike such things. In fact, I like it. I just don’t want to say it myself. I want to let Izumi-kun train me」

「...I see」

In fact, the emotion behind Maria’s deep eyes is the pleasure of being tortured.

「So, Master, what can I do for you?」

「Well... Now that you mention it, I think I’d like to give it a try」

Chihiro replied, even though he felt like he was playing right into Maria’s hands.

Riko saw this and sighed.

「You’re starting to say weird things again... Just so you know, I don’t want to do anything like that」

However, Chihiro, and perhaps Maria as well, are well aware that Riko is slowly starting to prepare herself for the act.

After all, she also sat on the large bed in Maria’s bedroom.
