I thought Eria-nee were into dominant men, but I suppose they're fine for her as long as they have good looks.
"So, what do you like about Eria-nee?" I teasingly asked the confident-looking Fin.
In a blink of an eye, the confidence in his gait disappears and was replaced with awkwardness. I figured it out when I first laid eyes on him, that he's the type who's indifferent to women. However, at the same time, he's also the type who would fumble and stutter in the slightest bit of skinship, or if he was put in front of the girl he likes.
In this case, he was immediately caught off guard at the mention of Eria-nee.
"W-Well..." he stuttered. "I like her face..." he shyly said.
"Umu-umu! I get it! She's really pretty, isn't she? What else?"
"I also like how strong she is."
Eria-nee is the strongest person I know. I like that about her too. In fact, it's just about half of the reason why I'm attracted to her in the first place. If Eria-nee was a man, I would immediately submit myself to her, and beg her to put children in me.
The instinct of a female demon is to bear the child of a strong man, no matter what their race is. Fortunately, I haven't met a man I like who's stronger than Eria-nee. Otherwise, I would have already succumb to the temptation of my instincts. In a way, Eria-nee acts as a barrier for my conception. Even the demon lord cannot pass, as long as I'm entirely captured by her.
"I really wish she was a man..." I sigh in genuine disappointment.
"Ah! I heard that Eria-sama acted more like a man in the past. Can you please tell me about it?" Fin curiously asked.
"It's true, and she was quite the womanizer too."
Before she was tempted by Julian, Eria-nee frequently had physical relationship with many women. She would even frequent brothels, and give them a heavy sum of donations. She was so infatuated by the same sex, that I thought she must've been a man in her past life.
Fin and I continue to venture into the plains as we leisurely chat about.
Unsurprisingly, as long as the topic was Eria-nee, Fin would keep being talkative.
"Here's fine," I said as we arrived at our intended destination.
"Y-Yes!" Fin nervously nodded.
He should be able to cast all the magic he wants in the vast expanse of the field in front of us. Unlike Eria-nee, I'm purely an offensive mage, and doesn't have the ability to protect anyone with healing or barrier magic. It would be safer for Fin and I to train in an isolated location.
Additionally, for us to be as quick and efficient as possible, we will be camping nearby for the entire duration of our training.
"Flame magic: fireball!"
Fin cast his magic and signaled the start of our training.
First, I wanted him to test a few different spells, so I can see the extent of his abilities.
"Haa... Haa...!"
Some minutes later, Fin was breathing heavily on the grass-cushioned earth.
"Good work!" I praised him.
"How was I, Sophia-san?"
"I told you to drop the honorifics, didn't I? Anyway, you pass. Eria-nee taught you well."
Although his magic lacks impact, he has a good grasp of the very spells he use. I'll even go as far as to say that he has full mastery over them. He must've studied hard to accomplish such a feat.
All he needs now is power—to increase the output of mana he can release in a spell.
"I'll transfer you my mana now."
"Please, if you will..."
Fin sat on the ground and relaxed his body.
Ah... Since I specifically said that I'm going to "transfer" him mana, he must've expected me to use the spell Mana Transfer. It's a rare spell that Eria-nee must've used on him before, and so he's expecting me to use it on him too. Only, it's not exactly in my catalog of spells.
"Okay, but you should first close your eyes," hiding a grin, I ordered him so.
He seems confused at first, but putting all of his trust on me, he followed still.
While his eyes were closed, I approached in front of him closer. Then without as much as a warning, I gently held his cheek and planted a kiss on his lips. Not a smack or a fleeting touch, but a full on mouth-invading make out session. It lasts for what seems like a minute.
Fin's eyes bulges open, undeniably taken by surprised. But he didn't resist. In contrast, he allowed me to tresspass.
"Umfuu..."
"W-Why did you!?" once I've taken my lips off him, he immediately protested with a red face.
"You're back to full again. Now you can continue."
"Huh...?"
He gave a questioning look at me at first, but he seems to have realized the happenings right after. Not only his mana, even his stamina were refilled. I've filled back his tank, and he's full of energy once again.
"That's my way of transferring mana."
It's not the work of a spell. It's an inherit ability of my being. And not only can I passively give, but I can oppositely drain. As long as I can physically touch a target.
"Is that really...?"
"Yes, and I'll continue to do it until we finished your training."
"Urk...!"
Fin groaned, but it didn't seem to be out of disgust or rejection. The redness of his face and the smile he was trying to hide were the proof he didn't dislike my passionate kiss. In my opinion, he in fact seems to like it.
"Look forward at night. I'll make sure to heal all of your fatigue," I teasingly wink at him.
