Vol 4 Chapter 40: The Queen’s Negotiation Tactics (Soft Press) ☆

After walking for a short while, we arrived at an ornate door, its luxurious decorations marking it as the entrance to someone of great nobility. Standing before it, Rin-san reverently knocked.

“Queen Ramielle, I have brought him.”

“—I see. Let him in.”

Their calm exchange through the door made my knees almost buckle.

I needed more time to prepare… or so I thought, but Rin-san paid no heed to my silent plea. She opened the door just enough for me to pass through.

“Now then, Shin-sama… please go inside.”

“Eh? …R-Rin-san, aren’t you coming in?”

“No. Her Majesty wishes to speak with you alone.”

I swallowed hard, the act sending a sharp pang through my chest.

But hesitating too long would be disrespectful.

Steeling my resolve, I took a step forward.

“…E-Excuse me.”

The room I stepped into was even more magnificent than I had imagined, an atmosphere befitting a queen’s chambers.

The pristine white walls were spotless. A chandelier illuminated the room with a gentle glow. Every piece of furniture, crafted from warm, elegant wood, was adorned with intricate carvings that were a joy to behold. Among them, the most eye-catching was the enormous canopy bed, large enough for several people to lie on comfortably. Its golden-embroidered curtains gave the impression of a shield guarding a sacred sanctuary.

“—Q-Queen-sama?”

I looked around the room, but the woman who had summoned me was nowhere to be seen. Even when I tentatively called out, there was no reply. I was sure I had heard her voice just now… Where could she have gone?

As I pondered this, the sound of the door behind me closing and the lock turning reached my ears.

“…Huh?”

I turned toward the door, startled by the noise, only to see—

“Welcome to my chambers—Magic Swordsman Shin.”

Was she hiding behind the door? The Queen I had seen in the audience hall now wore a playful, alluring smile, a far cry from the cold demeanor she had displayed earlier.

“Ah, um… T-Thank you for inviting me…”

I managed to squeeze out a polite response, but my nervousness was palpable.

Her radiant silver hair, her exquisitely beautiful face, and her outfit, which revealed much of her smooth, flawless skin… All of it left me speechless and parched.

“Standing around isn’t very comfortable, is it? Come, over here.”

“Hyauu! Y-Yes!”

Before I could process the situation, her soft, white fingers gently wrapped around my calloused hand, guiding me.

She wasn’t using much force, yet I was helplessly led to the massive bed I had been admiring moments ago and made to sit down.

The plush bed sank beneath me like soft skin, and when the Queen sat beside me, her added weight caused it to emit a faint, intimate creak.

Sitting on the Queen’s bed—wasn’t this grounds for treason? My anxiety only added to my flustered state.

“You don’t need to be so tense. I’m only interested in getting to know you better; that’s all.”

Her gentle smile seemed to mock my stiffness. But how could I possibly relax when left alone with the ruler of this nation? My mouth opened and closed wordlessly, like a fish out of water.

“Fufu. Just as I’ve heard, your reactions are quite adorable. Despite being incredibly strong—no, overwhelmingly powerful—you act like this. Why, I wonder?”

“—Y-You know about my magic!?”

“Yes, I’ve heard of it. The support magic that greatly enhances your own and others’ abilities. Thanks to it, your party has risen to the heights of S-Rank, hasn’t it?”

It wasn’t exactly a secret, but I hadn’t gone out of my way to boast about my magic, either. As an adventurer, revealing too much about your abilities was akin to exposing your weaknesses. That’s why I had never detailed my magic to the guild or even acquaintances.

Yet the Queen spoke of it as if she had seen it herself. Her information-gathering ability was unnerving.

“Kuku. You don’t need to be so scared. I’m simply curious about your power. Won’t you tell me? For me, Queen Ramielle? ♡”

Her enchanting smile accompanied a seductive tilt as she leaned against my left shoulder. The soft, ample flesh spilling from her revealing dress pressed warmly against me.

“Q-Q-Queen-sama! Y-You’re too close! Your, um… b-body is touching mine…”

“Touching? Fufu, no, I’m pressing against you♡. It’s fine, isn’t it? Tell me more—about yourself♡.”

My words of protest were effortlessly brushed aside as she pressed herself even closer. Her fragrant perfume, so unlike anything my party members wore, assaulted my senses, leaving my head spinning.

I couldn’t reveal everything carelessly, yet as a subject of this nation, I couldn’t ignore a direct request from its ruler either.

And her softness… Oh, her softness.

My thoughts grew more and more jumbled.

“You don’t need to think about anything else. Just listen to my voice and entrust yourself to me♡.”

Soft press♡… Soft squish♡…

The warmth against my skin and her tender, mellifluous voice surrounded me. It wasn’t magic, but the seductive whispers of royalty held a power of their own, compelling me to submit.

“Come now, tell me♡. Reveal the secret of your power to me♡. Fuu~♡”

The sweetness of her breath brushed against my face, infiltrating my senses like a bewitching fragrance. That was the final push.

“Hah… Hahii…”

My body jolted as I stammered out a response. There was no helping it. Refusing the Queen’s request wasn’t an option. Besides, it wasn’t as if my abilities were an absolute secret.

With those excuses, I began to divulge the details of my power.

I explained how I could enhance not only my own abilities but also others’ physical and magical capabilities.

Thanks to my considerable mana reserves, I could maintain these effects for extended periods, applying them to myself and my five party members without strain.

I admitted I had yet to test the upper limit of how many people I could support simultaneously.

As I spoke, the Queen’s delight became more evident. She leaned closer, pressing against me further with each detail, her body jiggling subtly in excitement as she encouraged me to share more.

“…Amazing. Such an incredible power♡.”

“T-T-Thank you very muchhh…”

Just the feeling of her body touching mine and the sweet scent filling my lungs made my head hazy, as if my thoughts were slipping away.

“…That power—I want it♡.”

“Fweh?”

After hearing me out, she murmured those words, narrowing her eyes like a predator eyeing its prey, and moved toward me.

Grabbing my right hand, which hung limply over the edge of the bed, she gently pulled it toward her… Soft press♡.

“A-Ah♡ Q-Queen-sama! Th-That’s not okay…♡!”

My hand sank into the deep valley of her ample chest, firmly trapped in place.

“Do you dislike how it feels? Ah, but if you try to pull away, I’ll consider it an act of disrespect♡.”

Her words, spoken with a tender smile as if she were offering mercy, froze my body. It made no sense—how could sticking my hand into the Queen’s cleavage not be disrespectful? But unable to voice my protests, I could do nothing but leave my hand where it was, buried in her softness.

“There, that’s fine… I’ll overlook any ‘touching’ in this case♡.”

Her provocative temptation left me immobilized. No matter how much I might appreciate or even desire the feel of her chest, I lacked the courage to make a move. And so, I was stuck in a strange stalemate, my hand captured by her softness.

“Oh my, no need to hold back♡. Are you not interested in my body?”

To be honest, I was. Her beauty was captivating, and under other circumstances, I’d want nothing more than to fully experience it. My body betrayed me as evidence, my groin growing restless with desire. But an overwhelming sense of danger kept me frozen in place.

“I see, so you resist me. How unfortunate♡… Then let me show you myself♡. Come now, take in the full sensation of a Queen’s chest♡.”

Soft press♡… Plush squish♡.

Using both hands, she pressed her large breasts together from either side, squeezing them firmly against my trapped hand.

“Ah♡ S-Stop… This is… too much…♡!”

Her breasts moved as if to crush my palm, gliding smoothly as though she had practiced this. The feeling was overwhelming—her soft, luxurious skin enveloped my fingers, stimulating every nerve as though teasing them one by one.

Added to this was the sinful pleasure of being served by someone of such high status. It felt as if invisible threads of a spider’s web had completely bound me, leaving no escape.

“How does it feel to be welcomed by the Queen’s own breasts? This is a privilege no one else could dream of♡.”

“A-Ah… N-No… This is…♡!”

“Fufu, even though your mouth says no, it seems the rest of you is being far more honest♡. Now then… how about this?”

She adjusted her grip, moving one hand to pin her breasts from below while reaching out with her free hand toward my groin. She deftly undid my pants with a click, click and then… Snug squeeze♡.

“A-Ah! N-Not there…♡!”

My exposed member was now in her grasp, her delicate hand moving up and down with a smooth glide. Her slender fingers were immaculately groomed, her nails gleaming with elegance, as though every part of her body had been crafted to perfection.

Yet, like a seasoned courtesan, she skillfully worked her hand, stimulating my most sensitive areas with deliberate soft presses and gentle squeezes.

“How adorable♡. The way you twitch and shiver… Tell me, are you perhaps the type who enjoys being dominated by women?”

Her taunting tone cut deep, and my body convulsed as if to confirm her suspicions. I couldn’t hide my reaction.

“Just as I’ve heard♡. A pure, untouched man unfamiliar with women… and so very sensitive to pleasure♡. As Queen, it’s my duty to know how to please all sorts of men, including someone like you♡. Now, let yourself go and enjoy it even more♡.”

Her teasing words mingled with her unrelenting stimulation. The shame of her uncovering my inexperience burned inside me, but the pleasure coursing through my body overwhelmed everything else. I could barely stop myself from letting out pathetic moans like, “Ah♡,” “Noo♡,” and “Mmm♡.”

“Doesn’t it feel wonderful♡? Irresistible, isn’t it♡? If you become mine, I promise to drown you in even greater ecstasy♡.”

Her tempting words slithered into my ears, her devilish whispers creeping into my mind and threatening to take hold.

“Just imagine—luxuries beyond anything your female companions could offer♡. Wouldn’t you like to experience a life surrounded by countless beautiful women, all devoted to serving you? If you agree, I’ll grant you access to pleasures beyond your wildest dreams♡.”

My mind conjured images of Rin, the elegant guide, whispering sweetly as she pressed her voluptuous body against me. Shadowy visions of countless women, their faces blurred, surrounded me as I lay back in bliss. The fantasies tugged at my weaker side, urging me to give in.

“B-But I… I just want to keep helping people as an adventurer…♡!”

Despite my trembling voice, heavy with both arousal and hesitation, my heart refused her offer. My reason and purpose, engraved deep within me, remained unshaken even amidst the overwhelming temptation.

“Oh…♡ You resist, even now. I had thought you weak, unable to resist breasts. It seems I underestimated you. You truly are a remarkable adventurer♡.”

Hearing my rejection, she smiled, appearing both impressed and entertained. Slowly, her hand released my still-throbbing member, leaving me with a mix of relief and frustration.

Had she given up? My body sagged slightly, an involuntary sigh of relief escaping me.

“Then—shall we test that resolve further♡?”

But instead of retreating, she stripped off her dress, letting it fall to the floor.

“A-Ah…♡!”

Her pure white hair matched the pristine lingerie she wore, which hugged her ample, curvaceous figure. Her nearly naked form was a sight no commoner should ever witness, and yet it was right in front of me.

“Let’s see if your will holds strong, even as I take things further…♡.”

Without hesitation, she slid her undergarments aside, revealing her most intimate part.

“Now, lie down♡.”

Before I could react, she pushed me onto the bed. I sank into the plush mattress, staring up at the canopy just as she mounted me, gazing down with a wicked smile.

“Fufu, you’re captivated♡. It’s no wonder—men from every nation dream of having this body♡.”

Her ample chest swayed tantalizingly above me, her hips poised to descend.

“Relish in this honor. I, Queen Ramielle, shall take your purity—your very soul♡.”

Just as the moment approached—her body lowering toward mine—the door burst open.

“—Apologies, Your Majesty, but I must insist that this game ends now.”

Standing at the door was Fana-san, her tone firm as she interrupted.

“F-Fana-san…?”

“My, my… Entering the Queen’s private chambers without permission is terribly rude, wouldn’t you say…?”

The Queen’s gaze shifted toward the intruding mage, who was flanked by four others in bizarre positions.

Lena, trembling with rage and radiating magic, was being restrained by Kaguya, who held her from behind and muffled her mouth. Nina and Alice clung desperately to Lena’s waist, their faces strained as they struggled to hold her back.

“L-Lena…?”

“F-Fuuu! Ffffhhhhh! Mmmrrrgh!”

Lena’s glowing red eyes burned with fury, her gaze as sharp and menacing as a beast on the verge of destroying everything in sight.

“Queen-sama, forgive my intrusion, but if this continues, I fear we won’t be able to hold her back. For your safety, I implore you to stop.”

“R-Rena! Please! Calm down! This isn’t funny—calm yourself!”

“Oi, Shin! Do something already! This is seriously bad!”

As chaos unfolded, the Queen finally sighed, raising her hands in mock surrender before stepping away from me.

“Very well… I suppose I have no choice.”

With an amused smile, she dressed herself and retreated, her movements deliberate and unhurried.

Freed at last, I bolted toward Lena, burying my face in her chest and clinging tightly, desperate to calm her down. Shame and relief swirled within me, but I couldn’t let go of her warm, trembling body.
