Eientei — Inside the Pocket Dimension.

For the past while, Eirin Yagokoro had been steadily working through her old research notes, tackling problems she'd set aside over countless years. She was fully immersed—until something odd caught her attention.

She looked up, eyes narrowing at a flask sitting on the table in front of her.

It held the so-called "Almighty Elixir" she got from Veyron.

Just now, she'd noticed something… strange about it.

Picking up the bottle, she tilted it under the moonlight streaming in from outside. The fluid inside, which had always looked clear and colorless like pure water, now shimmered faintly—hints of golden light flickering with each movement.

"...Hmm!"

Eirin crossed the room to one of her storage cabinets, opened it, and checked the rest of the elixirs she'd stored away. Sure enough, every single one of them had undergone the same change. That soft golden glow danced within them all.

She glanced at the cabinet beside it.

Inside were the Gene Lock enhancement serums she'd crafted by combining the elixir with stabilizing agents—used to push someone up to early-stage Tier 4. Those were still the same. When shaken, they revealed swirling starry nebulae, not golden light.

Furrowing her brow slightly, Eirin turned and headed down to the basement.

She checked the barrels—those big wooden ones Veyron had filled by uh... her full help. Just as she suspected, the liquid within them shimmered gold too when stirred.

She dipped a fingertip in and touched the liquid to her skin. Then, with a practiced motion, she began to analyze the altered elixir.

A few seconds later, her silver eyes sharpened.

As the drop of elixir was absorbed, she could feel it clearly: her spiritual power, her physical body, even the divine essence that made her a goddess—everything that made her "Eirin Yagokoro"—was slowly being enhanced.

In other words—She was evolving.

Her very being was undergoing sublimation.

"…Hmph."

She dipped her finger again, this time swallowing a small amount. She let her body process it naturally.

The result?

Still the same. The effect was real.

Eirin raised a brow, amused.

Back when she'd jokingly named it the "Almighty Elixir," instead of "Semen," she hadn't expected it to live up to the name quite this well.

Her gaze swept across the basement, over barrel after barrel filled with the shimmering gold-touched liquid.

Every cell in her body wanted to chug them all and use them to break past her current limits right then and there.

But she resisted.

With practiced calm, she left the basement and returned to her lab.

Through the spells she had cast across the Bamboo Forest, she confirmed Veyron was currently within Eientei.

Without hesitation, Eirin stepped out of her private dimension and headed in the direction of Veyron and Princess Kaguya.

Treeborn World

At the very top, inside the divine temple of Larentia.

Veyron had already left, but the aftermath of his "visit" still lingered.

In fact, Olga, Celestine, Claudia—and a few others who'd just been through a heated sex battle with him—had yet to depart.

With Larentia's silent approval, the women had set aside both their pride and their clothes, soaking in the holy spring—the same pool where they had offered themselves to Veyron, allowing him to use them however he pleased. As a result, his Almighty Elixir had been absorbed into the waters.

It was a scene of both peace and recovery… and a bit of embarrassment.

"…Lady Celestine, I'm deeply sorry. I acted out of line again."

Claudia, the commander of the Knights of Dawn—and Celestine's bodyguard—had finally calmed down and was now blushing hard as she apologized. After all, she'd just helped clean Celestine up from… let's say, the "battle aftermath," all so Veyron could gear up for another round.

While Vyron was focused on Olga, he had made Claudia lick everything of him from Celestine.

Celestine just laughed it off gently. "It's fine. As long as it made him happy."

She turned her head slightly, sneaking a glance at Larentia nearby.

Honestly, it wasn't just Claudia who lost control around Veyron.

They all had.

"Look at you," a voice piped up nearby.

Olga gave a pointed glance toward her sulking maid, Chloe, who had been pretending to be invisible ever since things started winding down.

"My Queen, he told me to do it!"

Chloe tried to defend herself in a tiny voice. Her queen had already spelled it out so bluntly—there was no point in playing dead any longer.

"Oh? So if he tells you to push, you just push?" Olga snorted, folding her arms.

"H-He said he was out of strength…"

Chloe tried weakly to justify herself, but before Olga could even react, Chloe—clearly embarrassed by her own excuse—sank deeper into the water, until only her eyes and the top of her head peeked out above the surface.

Out of strength, huh?

If Veyron had really run out of energy, how the hell had he managed to carry Queen Olga over to her, thrusting in all holes?

Glub… glub…

Bubbles floated to the surface where Chloe had hidden herself underwater.

A moment later—

"Wait... You're seriously drinking it now?" Olga raised an eyebrow, more amused than annoyed at this point. "Didn't you already have enough earlier? Your face was under me, allowing you to drink full."

"No, no—it's different now!" Chloe hurried to explain, cupping some of the bathwater into her hands and offering it up. "Please, try it, Your Majesty!"

'Yeah right. Like I'd believe that.'

That's what Olga wanted to say. But the way her body was reacting—the warmth tingling through her skin, the subtle, pleasant rush she felt—was telling her Chloe wasn't lying.

Ting…

A single droplet slid from Chloe's fingers and fell back into the pool.

In that brief instant, as the droplet hung in the air, Olga's sharp eyes caught a flicker of golden light.

"…What the hell?"

She raised her hand slightly, and the water in the pool responded, arcing up into the air like a golden ribbon under the pull of her telekinesis.

Turning her gaze toward Larentia, Olga asked the question on everyone's mind.

Larentia swirled her fingers lazily through the water, watching the ripples spread.

"You all know what this pool contains," she said calmly, though she clearly didn't have a full explanation herself. "But given what it's doing now… well, it's obvious, isn't it?"

She looked up, eyes soft. "It's a blessing—from him."

"…Don't look at me like that. Do whatever you want with it."

As soon as the words left her lips, Olga, Celestine, Claudia, and the rest of the elves exchanged quick glances.

So what if this was technically his… cumwater?

Well… they'd already bathed in it.

What harm was there in taking a few sips, right?
