As A Result of Trying To Live An Erotic Slow-Life, I Have Become The Underground Ruler of This Upside-Down Otherworld - Chapter 28: I don't get it.

Chapter 28: I don’t get it.

“Oh, my dear…”

Liliel returned to the temporary lodging from the dragon girl’s place.

As she entered her room, opening the door, there was a life-size poster of Arius hanging on the wall.

“My dear, my dear… I love you…”

She gently caressed it, and began to admire the two-dimensional Arius.

“Mmm… Hmm… Mm…”

She kissed his lips, licked his face, and stroked his body.

Of course, she didn’t forget to comfort herself.

She imagined Arius doing this to her, and ran imaginary fingers over her body.

“Oh, mm… You can do whatever you like, my dear… Mm ♡”

This is nothing special, it’s just Liliel’s daily routine.

In fact, it’s rather modest, given the temporary nature of her lodging.

In her private room at the house she lived in with Eldo, there were all sorts of unofficial Arius merchandise she had made herself, and his image was everywhere.

In that environment, she could indulge herself to her heart’s content.

“My dear ♡ My nipples… Mm ♡ You’re being mean… ♡”

In her mind, Arius was a master of teasing. He wouldn’t give her the stimulation she wanted so easily, but he would bring her even greater pleasure.

Yes.

For her, this was no longer masturbation. It was sex with Arius.

In her mind, their first night together had already passed, and she had given herself to him completely.

Her mouth, armpits, hair, hands, vagina, and anus—

There was no part of her body that wasn’t stained with him.

“Mm ♡ Today, will you touch me there…? Mm ♡ As you wish, my dear… ♡”

Perhaps because she had seen the real Arius, she was aroused earlier today.

Arius’ fingers, modeled after him, were stroking her genitals gently.

“Mm ♡ My dear, it feels good, it feels good… Ah ♡”

She stroked her engorged, red clitoris with her fingers, coated in her female fluids.

“Ah, ah, mm ♡ Mmmmmmm”

She reached her climax easily.

And even after her climax, it didn’t end.

“Ah, ah ♡ I’ve come, my dear… I came for you with your strong fingers… Mm ♡”

The imaginary Arius was indeed mean.

Even when she told him to stop, he wouldn’t, and even after she came, he continued to tease her relentlessly.

“I’m sorry… I beg your forgiveness… Mm”

What was the scene in Liliel’s mind?

It seemed that Arius had inserted his fingers into Liliel’s vagina while thrusting his penis into her mouth.

“Mmm, juuu, ppp ♡ Leo, ler, perrr ♡ Mmm, mm ♡”

Four fingers, modeled after Arius.

A gigantic phallus, so large that she might lick her whole hand if she wasn’t careful.

She carefully ran her tongue over it, kissed it, and enveloped it in her mouth, her movements so lewd and skilled.

“Mm ♡ Mm ♡ Oh ♡”

Suddenly, the fingers in her mouth moved violently.

“Mm, oh ♡ I’m sorry, mm ♡”

It seemed that Arius was not satisfied with Liliel’s service.

He began to piston, showing her how oral sex was done, and her fingers moved in and out of her mouth violently.

“Mm, oh, ggh ♡ Mmm, ggh ♡”

If she had any reason, she wouldn’t have choked.

But for Liliel, the thing in her mouth was Arius’ penis, so of course she couldn’t stop.

If she stopped, it would mean that Arius was satisfied.

If it moved, it meant he wasn’t satisfied yet. Liliel abandoned her reason and surrendered herself to the imaginary Arius.

“Mm, mm, mm, mm ♡”

Her mouth gradually adapted to the fingers. At the same time, the fingers stroking her lower body became even more intense.

“Mm, mm, mm, mm ♡ Mm, mm, mm ♡”

Finally, when Arius decided he was satisfied, Liliel lost consciousness.

“My dear… I love you… ♡”

With a love that could be called madness, she embraced it in her heart.

“…”

“…”

Liliel watched Arius and Mia through the magic stone, their tryst.

She was certain that their eyes met at the moment of their climax.

“—Jealous?”

What a provocative gaze.

“Yes, I’m very jealous.”

It was only natural that Liliel’s use of the long-range magic stone was discovered.

In fact, if it hadn’t been discovered, she would have had to consider disposing of it.

She couldn’t accept that the being who served Arius was so lacking.

“Hehe, how cute.”

On the other hand…

If it was a being worthy of Arius, she didn’t care what it did.

Even if they had sex behind her back, even if they had children, it would be fine. In fact, she would celebrate it, for she couldn’t help but love anyone who carried Arius’ blood.

“Oh… What a wonderful future…”

Yes, for Liliel, anything that increased Arius’ value was something to be loved.

The more his value increased, the prouder she felt of herself for possessing it.

It was true that Liliel desired him.

The fact that Arius was hers, that was all she wanted.

Even if people saw her being treated like a slave by Arius, even if he hated her, as long as that fact remained, it was enough.

A thorough stalker, a lover of love.

And a virgin who fell in love with love in a world without it.

That was the woman Liliel.

“Come in.”

“Thank you.”

A knock echoed in the room. Liliel, who had responded, welcomed the leader of the rabbits, the team with the most members in the Eld family, into the room.

“We have secured the store and adjusted the facilities.”

“Good. Thank you for your swift work.”

“You’re too kind.”

The woman who bowed was named Rurii.

The rabbits had no particular abilities.

Rurii, at first glance, or even after a thorough examination, appeared to be a normal human being with no powers.

Still, there was one thing that could be said.

“Final confirmation, our store will cater to everyone. We will offer a wide range of dishes, from the most expensive to the cheapest.”

“Yes.”

All of them were ordinary lives.

They had received training, and while they couldn’t match the specialized teams, they could still produce decent results when doing the same work.

And above all, their appearance.

The most distinctive feature of the rabbits was that all of them, regardless of gender, had average looks.

“To steal the dragon girl’s customers, I want you to do your best to welcome them under our umbrella.”

“Understood, Liliel-sama.”

The logic was simple.

Liliel understood that if she took away the dragon girl’s role as a dining establishment, Arius’ life would become unmanageable.

No matter how much the mice collected and offered their bodies to Arius, there were limits. They needed income from ordinary customers.

If she took away those customers…

Arius would have to focus on his work as a flag seller, and would have to sell his body to strangers.

In other words, it meant that Tow’s plan to form an Arius family would fail, and they would never allow that. Then they would have no choice but to secretly beg for help from her.

Liliel smiled as she saw Rurii off quietly.

“The rabbits are so clever.”

Their appearance and abilities were average.

That meant they had the right to choose.

They could choose their job, their store, their man.

All choices were given to them within a manageable range.

The rabbits had chosen to work under Liliel because the conditions she offered were just a little beyond their reach.

Liliel liked the rabbits very much.

The more calculating and self-interested they were, the easier they were to manage.

Thus, they were her closest confidantes. Especially Rurii, who had been Liliel’s personal attendant even before the family disbanded.

As long as Liliel continued to provide them with high-quality food, they would serve her as the best and rarest of partners.

“Hehe, hehehehe…”

Using all her wealth and power, Liliel had chosen a location in the capital, one that would compete with the dragon girl, to build her dining establishment.

Indeed, the dragon girl couldn’t compete.

While the dragon girl only wanted ugly women as customers, Liliel offered prices, dishes, and an environment that would satisfy even the ugliest of women.

Everything was superior.

The only thing that could be said was the presence or absence of Arius, but since the dragon girl was keeping Arius a secret, it was no contest.

“Oh, it’s almost here, almost here, my dear… Wait for me… Hehe, hehehehe”

The future Liliel had desired was almost within her grasp.

However…

“There’s no movement…”

“Yes. There’s no noticeable movement from the dragon girl. We’ve set mouse traps to gather information, but nothing has been caught…”

This was unexpected for Liliel.

This war, no, this competition, was also a way for Liliel to increase Arius’ value.

She wanted him to struggle and suffer, to make him shine even brighter.

“What… What’s going on!? Maybe they’re just operating as usual…”

“That’s right. There’s no new advertising, and we haven’t seen the successor in the store… There’s no change from when we investigated before.”

Half a month had passed since the declaration.

Even if they were incompetent, some movement should have been visible by now.

Liliel didn’t think Arius was incompetent, but even if he was, Tow and Mia would do something. That’s why she had accepted them as her attendants.

“This… can’t be…”

But in reality, nothing was happening.

Liliel didn’t think the rabbits were incapable of detecting any moves she might have made without being noticed.

“What about… the customers!?”

“Business is good. The number of customers is increasing every day, and even after taking into account our expenses, including our salaries, we’re expecting a profit.”

“That’s not what I mean! How many of the dragon girl’s customers have we taken away!?”

Liliel asked Rurii anxiously, but she lowered her face and said softly,

“A, almost all the members except the mice have come to our store!”

“So… and yet… they’re doing nothing…!?”

At Rurii’s words, Liliel knelt on the floor.

“What… does this mean…”

She couldn’t understand.

She was sure that her declaration had been accepted. She had felt Arius’ will to fight in his eyes.

“Maybe… maybe he doesn’t think I’m worth fighting…”

Liliel got very close to Arius’ way of thinking.

She thought, maybe he had decided to ignore her because he thought she was too incompetent to fight.

“Rurii.”

“Y, yes.”

Liliel’s voice was icy cold, a tone Rurii had never heard from her before.

“We’ll make this place even more prosperous. So prosperous that we can’t be ignored!”

“Y, yes!”

Liliel’s prediction had indeed hit Arius, but there was a crucial difference.

Arius thought that as long as he had enough to live on, that was good enough.

That way of thinking had not changed since he decided to become a hikikomori.

Indeed, the dragon girl had many problems.

Their food inventory wasn’t selling, and their income was barely enough. To Liliel, that was undoubtedly a problem.

But Arius saw it differently.

He didn’t think it was a problem.

He probably thought it was difficult, but he didn’t see it as an obstacle.

Rather, he was enjoying figuring out how to solve it.

Liliel didn’t understand that.

“It’s doing well… Liliel-san, is the four-seater available?”

“W, what… my dear…”

As Liliel began to worry and become confused, four dragon girl employees walked in without any hesitation, and her anxiety and confusion only increased.
