[You successfully prevented Elisa from continuing to risk her life and provided her with a sufficiently safe identity and residence.]
[This simulation is paused, summarizing...]
[Evaluation: You had no intention of flattering the Princess. During her submission to you, her opinion of you changed because of certain events. However, you still chose to take her body first. Though your nature is hard to change, perhaps for you, this is the best way to play.]
Bullshit!
I haven't even had her yet! Not even a "deep inspection."
[Your remaining simulation attempts for this session are > 3, obtaining an extra reward.]
Setting aside the fact that being licked by her felt a bit uncomfortable.
This time, I really almost never died. Only once at the start, and then another time during the re-simulation because I didn't expect the Duchess to have a gun.
[Regular Rewards: Attribute Points * 20, Skill Points * 20, Free Simulations * 6.]
Ah.
So having more than 3 attempts left only gives one extra free simulation?
Then why did I work so hard to save them? Although more retries are always better... maybe I should be more reckless in the simulation.
So, come forth! The real reward this time!
[Special Task Reward: X-Ray Apprentice (This skill can only be leveled up through this specific instance)]
[Do you wish to extract it immediately?]
"..."
Silas froze.
He suppressed the urge to complain, thinking that just like the Hypnosis skill, the name looked pornographic, but it was probably a god-tier skill.
[Yes]
[X-Ray Apprentice: When you gaze at a target, clothing and flesh will no longer obstruct your vision. (This ability has no limit on usage, but the depth of your vision may greatly consume your stamina.)]
"..."
Silas read the text carefully.
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see how this was a "god-tier skill." This was just straight-up filth!
Honestly.
Even if Hypnosis was useless in the dungeon because he kept encountering non-human entities, Silas wouldn't consider it trash, simply because it could hypnotize himself to achieve self-healing.
But X-Ray vision?
Silas looked away.
[You have activated Skill: X-Ray Apprentice]
He could see the mare next to him, seeing through its hide to its internal organs. There was hay in its stomach... it really can eat. It will definitely give birth to a healthy foal.
His eyes began to ache.
This was likely what the prompt meant by deeper penetration consuming more stamina.
Fine.
Looking on the bright side, his eyes were basically an X-ray machine. If he wanted to be a doctor, he'd be a world-famous one. Besides, completing the next task would yield another skill.
Last time was Swordsmanship; next time might be Magic. Since there are pure-blooded vampires and succubi in this dungeon, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a "Buddha's Fury Lotus" fireball, right?
Stopping his complaints.
Silas opened his status panel again.
[Player: Silas]
[Titles: Scum (Equipped), Husband Faking Sleep (Equipped)]
[Constitution: 16 + 3]
[Strength: 13]
[Agility: 8 + 1]
[Charisma: 71 + 3]
[Intelligence: 26 + 1]
[Skills: Tongue Technique Lv4, Bondage Lv1, Lecturer Lv1, Hypnosis Master, Swordsmanship Expert, X-Ray Apprentice]
The attribute points increased normally. Intelligence went up by one, likely because the confusion over whether the Duchess was a human or a ghost forced his mind to adapt.
As for the skills...
What the hell were Bondage and Lecturer?
[Bondage Lv1 (You have some basic experience with Turtle-Shell bondage)]
Great.
This game has run out of ideas, hasn't it?
Silas sighed and opened the other new skill.
[Lecturer Lv1 (Words spoken from your mouth tend to be more convincing)]
Oh?
Now this is a good one.
He wondered just how convincing level 1 was. What level would he need to reach for a random knight to believe him if he said, "Your wife is actually a public sperm bank"?
Could it be because he was acting as a sword instructor? But what about his time as a stable boy? It never said he had a horse-rearing skill, yet he could do it.
Whatever.
Silas had saved up quite a few skill points.
[Constitution: 39]
[Strength: 13]
[Agility: 9]
[Charisma: 74]
[Intelligence: 27]
[Skills: Lecturer Lv5, Tongue Technique Lv4...]
He had accumulated 80 skill points, enough for level 5. He didn't know if higher levels would require more.
Additionally, Silas didn't add to Charisma this time. It was time to boost Constitution. After all, with his current status as a sword instructor, how could he manage with poor physical health?
Plus, that little glutton succubus keeps sucking him dry.
He'd have to be careful with Charisma later; if it got too high, what if men started falling for him too?
Silas didn't enter the simulation immediately.
Instead, peering outside the stable, he saw a figure hesitating for a long time before coming in.
As if realizing Silas was looking at her, the Maid approached sheepishly.
"Brother, are you hungry?"
"..."
Not really.
"I-I was just worried this horse might run away again, so I came to check. Mmm... and I brought you some freshly cooked meat porridge."
"..."
Something was wrong.
Why wasn't she wearing... ah, the X-ray skill doesn't see through the interface. He forgot to turn it off.
But has the Maid always worn such provocative gear?
Never mind the purple bra; her panties were stretched tight, and her thighs were twitching involuntarily... she had clearly inserted something!
"I thought you might be embarrassed. But I have no children, and no siblings. Just you."
"You're still young and do such hard work... your swordsmanship is good, so you must need to eat a lot. Don't be polite. I... really see you as my own brother."
"..."
She kept circling the stable, looking left and right. If Silas couldn't see through her clothes, he'd really think she cared about the horse.
But in reality, the Maid was taking small side-steps to make the object inside her panties move. After all, there was no electricity in this era, let alone vibrators.
Looking a bit deeper...
An eggplant?
It was being squeezed out of shape.
Silas got a shameful erection. And strangely, wasn't the Maid married? How did she still have a hymen?
"..."
The Maid's gaze kept flickering toward Silas's crotch.
It was easy to see the signs.
Eh?
This brother who never usually catches on... why is he so "spirited" today?
Is it because I'm standing too close? He's still trying to hide it, so cute, I really want to give it a lick. Ah... just sitting down, I feel like the eggplant is going to poke right through.
Coming to see my brother in such lewd underwear that hides nothing—just thinking that if I accidentally tripped, he'd find out what a perverted sister I am...
"Are you finished? Then Sister is heading back."
The Maid thought to herself: When I get back, I'm going to lick my brother a hundred times in my head! To think he'd have lustful thoughts about his sister... I must punish myself against the blankets tonight. Ah, lately I'm fantasizing less about my faceless husband and more about my brother's thick... so embarrassing.
"..."
Silas just watched the Maid walk away, the eggplant still clamped between her legs, dripping wet as she wiggled her snowy butt cheeks out of the stable.
His eyes began to ache again.
She's way too hot!
But the Maid had been truly good to him lately. The eggplant thing was just a personal hobby; no need to judge.
He'd just vent this fire on the thieving succubus princess.
