Vol 3 Chapter 29: Sweet Interrogation of the Sage and the Ninja

While Shin and the others were conducting their investigation outside…

“So, the fact that I was chosen means… it’s something like that, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It’s something I especially don’t want those three to see… especially Shin.”

Remaining behind at the manor, Fana and Kaguya exchanged ambiguous words only they could understand as they walked toward their intended target.

“Understood. In that case, I’ll do what I can to assist.”

“Thank you. …There he is.”

Before long, they spotted their target: a young man entrusted by the lord to manage the manor. He appeared to be a few years older than the two of them.

“It’s been a while since I’ve used this on anyone other than Shin… I feel a little hesitant.”

“Fufu, indeed. Oh, how scandalous it feels, as if saying, ‘Forgive this wicked maid for betraying her master…’ Don’t you think that adds to the charm?”

Though Kaguya’s words carried a rare hint of humor, it was clear she wasn’t remotely serious. Even so, the sight of her wrapping her arms around herself as if embarrassed was unusual.

Having spent some time with her now, Fana still found Kaguya’s personality difficult to pin down.

“Let’s begin. …《Sweet Voice》.”

The skill that spoke directly into the brain. It was the same ability Fana had used to tempt and bewilder Shin so many times before.

The moment she activated it, the steward began to sway his head from side to side, as if searching for something.

“This way♡”

“Over here♡”

“Come to me♡”

The whispers filled the man’s head, seductive and irresistible.

Though Fana worried whether the skill would work on the lethargic men of the manor, the steward staggered forward, his gait unsteady as he sought the source of the voice.

Through the corridors, past the service entrance, and finally to an inconspicuous area at the back of the manor, the man wandered aimlessly.

Unnoticed by him, two beautiful women followed silently behind.

“Right here♡”

“See? It’s here♡”

“Come closer♡”

Eventually, the steward stopped at the spot indicated by the whispers, glancing around nervously.

“It’s time.”

As if waiting for that exact moment, Kaguya, the ninja maid, disappeared from Fana’s side.

She reappeared instantly before the man, as though she had teleported.

“《Ninpo: Illusory Fragrance》… fuuu~♡”

Opening her right hand, Kaguya pursed her lips as if blowing a kiss. A pink mist-like particle floated with her breath, wafting toward the man and entering his body through his nose and mouth.

“…Who… are…?”

Only then did the steward seem to notice the intruder. But by that point, it was already too late.

His body slackened, and he leaned back against the wall of the manor for support.

“Picture what you desire most… the figure you adore the most♡.”

“A-ahh… haah… haa…”

Kaguya’s sticky, seductive whispers seemed to excite him, his heavy breaths escaping between shallow gasps. His eyelids fluttered as though he were drifting into a dream.

“Now then… who am I?♡”

In his trance-like state, the man’s lips moved immediately.

“L-Lady Leia… ahh… so beautiful… Lady Leia…♡”

Leia.

To Kaguya, she was an archenemy. To Fana, a foe she must pursue.

The steward, fully enraptured by Kaguya’s illusion, declared the name of the woman he believed stood before him.

Kaguya’s ninjutsu had planted a simple hypnotic suggestion, making the man perceive her as someone else entirely.

Unlike magic, such techniques were harder to detect or disrupt, making Kaguya’s abilities all the more effective. The plan was now to extract information while the man remained in his confused state.

“What did I do to you, my dear? Won’t you tell me?♡”

Speaking in a manner that mimicked Leia’s tone, Kaguya coaxed the man to reveal what he knew.

The man hesitated for a moment, his mouth opening and closing as though unsure how to respond.

“My, won’t you tell me? …Fana, that, if you please.”

“Of course… 《Charm Kiss♡》—mmm~chu♡.”

At Kaguya’s signal, Fana placed her fingers on her lips, which quivered ever so slightly. Removing her hand, she released a magical ripple in the shape of a kiss, which floated gently toward the steward.

The ethereal kiss landed softly on his forehead, bursting into a glittering mist.

“A-ah, a-ahhh, Leia-sama… Leia-sama made me feel so good♡ With her breasts, her mouth, and her… pussy… A-ahhh! I’m c-cumming…!”

Thanks in part to Fana’s Charm Kiss effect, merely recalling his acts with Leia was enough to make the man spill his semen.

Seeing one man reduced to such insanity, Fana felt it was clear proof that Leia was something not of this world.

“Yes, that’s right♡ I showered you with affection, didn’t I?♡ Now then, what did I order you to do? Tell me♡”

“《Charm Kiss♡》”

Without giving the trembling man a moment to recover, Fana interrogated him while sending kiss after kiss to scramble his mind.

He trembled, eyes glossed over with heart marks, convinced that the woman before him was indeed Leia. Slowly, he began to speak.

“Hah… hahi… I was told… to watch over the lord and… report anyone who might suspect him to Leia-sama♡ A-ahh, nnngh♡”

“Anything else? Speak up—”

Even as he climaxed, a blissful look spread across his face. The interrogation continued until he finally collapsed.

And then—

“You will forget everything that happened here. Everything you said. All of it. Is that clear?♡”

“《Charm Kiss♡》”

With a final whisper from Kaguya, followed by one more kiss from Fana, the man’s consciousness faded, ending the lewd interrogation.

“Good work, Kaguya.”

“Think nothing of it. This was a trivial task. Still, as we expected, the method is the same as always.”

Leaving the steward slumped where he was, the two women turned and walked away. He would likely regain consciousness before long, unsure of what had happened, and simply return to work.

“Now that we’ve pieced this much together… the question is when to make our move against Leia.”

“Indeed. Once Shin-sama and the others return, we should settle our plans without delay.”

Both beauties, wearing the bewitching smiles of those beyond ordinary humans, headed back to their room.

Before long, Shin and the rest came back to the manor, and they began their strategy meeting.

They shared their gathered information, filling in the gaps of each other’s vague parts, and decided on their next move.

That evening, during yet another meal with Mio, Fana spoke up.

“Mio-san? Since there’s no sign of that woman appearing, we’re thinking of heading into town tonight to gather some information.”

“Gather information, is it…? This town is generally quite safe, so that might be wise. I’m sorry to rely on you so much, but please take care.”

They declared that they would leave the manor at night.

Then—

“It’s more convenient if only we women go, so Shin-san will stay here. If there’s any emergency, please rely on him.”

They would leave the only man, Shin, behind.

“O-oh, that’s a relief! Thank you. …And, um, Shin-sama… I’ll be counting on you♪”

At Mio’s expression of relief and excitement, she looked warmly at Shin. The sight of the beautiful lady made Lena scowl as she stuffed her mouth with meat, looking disgruntled. Meanwhile, Nina kept shoveling food into her mouth and asking for another helping—she’d already lost count of how many times she’d done so.

After finishing the meal, the women wasted no time preparing their gear and heading for the manor’s entrance.

“Everyone, be careful.”

“Yes, we’ll be all right. We’ll be back soon.”

They stepped past the manor’s opulent gate into the night, leaving Shin’s gaze behind them.

It looked like it was going to be a long night. With that premonition, Shin returned to his assigned room.
