CHAPTER 194: CHAPTER 194: FLESHLIGHT

"Hey, how’s it going? Come on in," I greeted Aria with a smile, before letting her in.

"Hey, Kai. Have you checked out social media? Things are getting pretty crazy," She responded, as she stepped inside.

"Yeah, that’s pretty understandable, though. I really wasn’t expecting the Union to publicize everything like that," I replied, shutting the door as she walked in.

Today’s the 16th of June, 2169, three days since the meeting with Charlotte and the Guildmasters.

Charlotte had shared everything we learned from Luxuria with the HUC and Concord, and they decided to make the information public.

They didn’t specify how they got the info, since that’d put a lot of attention on me and I asked Charlotte to leave my name out of it since I really didn’t want to have to deal with that.

The hype around me from the HCC is finally starting to die down, so I don’t want something else popping up to put the spotlight on me.

There were a ton of discussions and theories being thrown around online, with a fair bit of skepticism in the mix as well.

Also, memes. Lots and lots of memes.

The Guilds were taking a short, temporary break from issuing Quests, since they were busy planning out how to deal with the issue of the increase in Dungeons that deviate from the standard patterns.

Aria and I were chatting and she suggested we do some training together until we can go on raids again, so I invited her over since I’ve got the training room at my place.

"It’s all people are talking about, I-...," She began, before trailing off in bemusement as a moan echoed out of the rec room, "Uh, what was that?"

"Oh, that’s Luxuria. She’s been really getting into porn, the world she came from sounds like it was more medieval, so technology, and by extention, digital entertainment, doesn’t exist there," I explained wryly.

"W-Wait, so she’s just spending her time watching porn?"

"Well, not exclusively, she likes anime too, though she’s not that big a fan of live action stuff for some reason...not counting porn, of course."

"I-I, uh...wow. I see why she’s your Apostle of Lust. Also, I figured that you’d keep her withdrawn instead of summoning her and leaving her out. Where exactly does she go when you withdraw her, by the way?" She asked me curiously.

"I just know she exists inside me in some capacity, where she’s in a dormant state until summoned, basically in a deep sleep. And yeah, I let her roam free around the house, I don’t see why not," I replied with a shrug.

"I see, that’s-...," Began Aria, before trailing off, her eyes widening as the door to the rec room suddenly swung open and Luxuria rushed out, naked.

"Master! Can we try this?! It looks really-...! Hm? Oh, it’s the chick with the mid tits, how’s it going?" She greeted Aria.

"Wha-...? Wh-Why are you naked?! And what do you mean by can we try this?! And what’s your problem with my boobs?! Also, are you speaking differently?! I-...wha-...I-I have so many questions!" Blurted out Aria incredulously.

Yeah, her speech changed a lot the more videos she watches, she’s also been getting into videos from online influencers and content creators.

"So dramatic, just chill out. And what’s wrong with being naked? Makes it easier to masturbate," Shrugged Luxuria in response.

"How are you so calm right now? Is this normal?" Frowned Aria, narrowing her eyes at me.

"I, uh..."

"Hm? Wait, are you jealous of me or something? Relax, just think of me as Master’s fancy personal fleshlight."

Yeah, I don’t think that’s helping.

"Huh? What’s a fleshlight?" Responded Aria with a confused look on her face.

Wait, for real?

"It’s a pocket pussy, basically the inverse of a dildo."

"P-Pocket wha...?!"

"Again, there’s no reason to be jealous. Even though your body is not as alluring as mine, it seems Master finds you attractive. I sensed a hint of arousal when you said the word boobs earlier and-..."

"Ahem, why don’t you get back to what you were doing, Luxuria?" I intervened before this could escalate any further.

Also, in my defense, Aria’s usually so innocent and earnest, that hearing her say boobs kinda caught me off-guard.

"Okay, if you say so, Master. Talk to you later," She smiled, before heading back in and shutting the door.

"I-I don’t think I can deal with her, it feels like we’re oil and water, that kinda wore me out," Muttered Aria with a strained sigh.

"Yeah, I guess she can be a bit much, even I find her a little overwhelming at times, and-...uh, are you looking up what a fleshlight is?" I inquired in bemusement, as she tapped on her I-Watch display.

"H-Huh?" She blurted out as she tensed slightly, before adding, "No, uh...I was just, um, checking the weather, yeah!"

"You’re a bad liar, you know that?" I smiled, as I patted her head, before adding as I began heading for the training room, "Come on, let’s go, might as well get right to it."

"Yeah, okay," She nodded, her face turning red as she followed after me, her eyes widening slightly as she stared at her display.

Yup, looks like I hit the nail on the head.

"Alright, so...you wanted to figure more about that extra power boost you got when you pushed Blaze Ignition to its limit, right? Have you tested it out since the raid?" I asked her, as we entered the training room.

"Mhm, I tried it out yesterday at the Guild, I asked Sera to join me since I need healing afterwards. I wanted to see how long I can make it last," She nodded, as she began stretching.

I’m pretty curious about it too, that was one hell of a power boost.

Brief as it was, while it lasted, she was the only one who even came close to going toe-to-toe with the Archdemon...
