Chapter 13: Activate, Forced Arousal Erotic Skill! The Ritual of Submission

Right in front of me, Erinabel is sitting on a desk, holding a report and smirking at me.

“Onii-san, you’re quite the country bumpkin, huh.”

“…Huh?”

“I mean, you didn’t even know about the rebels at your age. Are you stupid? How clueless can you be? I’m seriously shocked!”

Saying that, Erinabel bursts into mocking laughter.

“Honestly, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages! What kind of backwater raises a clueless weakling like you, Onii-san? Aren’t you embarrassed to be alive?”

“Ugh…!”

Calm down…! Stay calm, Touya…! I’ve got an ace up my sleeve…!

“…What’s with that look? Got a problem?”

“Hm?”

“Let me make this clear. A pathetic weakling like you wouldn’t normally get to talk to a high-ranking noble like me in a million years. Oh, wait, you’re too clueless to even know that, right?”

Grr…! But she might have a point.

I don’t fully get this world’s class system, but Erinabel’s a high-ranking noble and one of the empire’s strongest knights. A commoner like me probably shouldn’t even be near her.

“…Why was Erinabel-sama in that alley back then?”

“Huh. You really know nothing, do you? I’ve got a lot of titles, but I’m also the chief overseer of public safety for the eastern capital.”

Erinabel explains why she, a noble, ran into a commoner like me, almost like she’s making excuses.

“The capital’s split into west and east for security command. I handle the east. If I didn’t have this special role, I wouldn’t be caught dead talking to a commoner like you, right?”

So, she was patrolling for rebels and happened upon me. That’s why she’s talking to a commoner she’d normally ignore.

But if there’s such a huge class gap, why…

“Why did Erinabel-sama want to see me again? Couldn’t you just sign my release and be done with it…?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

What…!? No way…!

Did she fall for me at first sight…!? Did she want to meet and talk again…!?

“To laugh at a clueless weakling from some backwater village, obviously! This report alone is hilarious! What even is this!? A 25-year-old like you exists!?”

I’m getting wrecked…!

Erinabel stands and walks right up to me. I just noticed her cute miniskirt. She narrows her eyes.

“Now, Onii-san. Whether you get out of here depends on my signature. …Don’t you have something to do?”

“Something… to do…?”

What… is she asking for a bribe…!? But I spent all my money on Cui-oos, so I’m flat broke!

“Crawl on the ground like a dog and kiss my feet. Do that… and I’ll let you out.”

“…!”

“Pfft… Kissing someone’s feet must be a new level of humiliation for you, huh? Think you can handle it, Onii-san?”

This loli…! Offering me such a treat—what’s her game…!?

Maybe in this world, kissing someone’s feet is seen as humiliating.

Thinking about it, with the civil war and the empire’s history of conflict, crawling and licking feet could symbolize submission, like a defeated foe bowing to the victor.

A ritual of humiliation, passed down from wars’ winners to losers. But…

(Kissing this loli beauty’s feet…! For free…!)

I’m thrilled by this.

Erinabel’s face is super cute, and she’s a loli.

Kissing her feet legally and for free… maybe even leaving my saliva on them! Amazing…!

“What’s the holdup? Hurry, or you’re not getting out!”

Before I know it, I’m locked in a room where I have to kiss the strongest loli knight-sama’s feet to escape…!

Steeling myself, I slowly crouch down. Cui moves a bit away.

“Pfft…! You’re actually doing it!? What a pathetic weakling!”

I get on my hands and knees. Seeing this, Erinabel slips off her right shoe, going barefoot, and stomps hard on my head.

“Guh!?”

I kiss the floor harder than I meant to. Ow…! Damn this loli brat…!

“Ugh, gross! So filthy…! Oh, my foot’s getting dirty…!”

As she says this, Erinabel rubs my head with her soft foot, squishing it.

S-So good…! Getting stepped on by a loli noble beauty like this…! Otherworld, you’re the best…!

“Come on, say something! You’re getting stepped on by a younger girl, Onii-san!”

You’re too naive, Erinabel…! You think you’re basking in dominance by stepping on me…!

But I’m loving this, so it’s not just a wash—it’s a total win for me…! This round’s mine…!

“Hmph… Not even talking back after all this? Total weakling. Alright, pathetic Onii-san. Time to kiss my foot.”

Erinabel slowly lifts her foot off my head, hovering it above me.

Here it comes…! The moment’s arrived…! I whisper to Cui.

“…Cui.”

“Hm? Say something? Now, my foot—”

Here we go…! Cui should’ve activated the Erotic Skill! But whether it works is up to luck…! Please, let it work…!

With that desperate wish, I slowly raise my face and bring my lips to her cute sole.

“Nn…!?”

First, a soft kiss. Then I stick out my tongue, licking the faintly scented sole…!

“W-Wait…!?”

I meant to just test the waters, but before I know it, I’m lapping at Erinabel’s foot.

Oh, I can’t get enough…! This scent is amazing…!

I slide my tongue from her sole to between her toes, sucking on her tiny digits.

“Hau…! S-Stop it…!”

Glancing up while licking, Erinabel’s smug face looks flushed. Her breathing seems heavier.

‘Touya. The Erotic Skill, Cui-oos, partially worked. It was somewhat resisted, but she’s in an aroused state now.’

“…!!”

It worked…! The forced arousal Erotic Skill…! Wait, Cui can tell if it worked…!?

That was close—I was licking her foot without even knowing if it took effect…! Also, what’s “partially worked” mean…!?

But if it’s working, it’s my turn now!

I grab Erinabel’s right foot with both hands, sucking her toes while massaging her calf.

“…!! Y-You…!”

“Ube!?”

The next moment, Erinabel kicks me away. But it’s not as strong as her earlier blows—just mildly painful.

“Y-You rude…!”

Her breathing is noticeably heated now. This… might just work…!?

‘Cui-oos is meant to rob the target of rational thought, making calm decisions impossible. Even if not fully effective, she’s under forced arousal now. She can’t think or judge as usual.’

Like a light hypnotic state…?

Whatever, it’s my first time using this skill, so there’s a lot I don’t know. Time to experiment…!

“Erinabel-sama, I kissed your foot as proof of my complete submission. But I’m not done. My devotion to you goes beyond this. Or are you already satisfied, thinking this little kiss is enough humiliation for me?”

I’m telling her I’m not fully submitted yet! And Erinabel takes the bait.

“…! F-Fine! If you’re that desperate to lick my foot…! G-Go ahead and lick it all you want…!”

Got her…! Acting all aroused and saying she’s letting me lick? You’re the one who wants it licked!

My nose catches a sharp, feminine scent from under Erinabel’s miniskirt.
