Poisoned Demon Lords (5)

"Noel, be gentle.. no, I shouldn't be asking for such leniency, a bad girl like me has to be punished thoroughly.." Liliath muttered in a timid voice.

I was pulling Liliath behind me, hands tight around her wrist because I have no clue what in the hell would happen if this girl was left to run rampant. Damn it. I should've called for a time-out before the dinner even started. I got told off by the viscount, that sucks. My head won't fly off anytime soon right?

"I-I will accept anything.. I-I will do my best to bear the pain.."

And here we have a delirious Liliath. A goner, quite literally. I can't believe I actually believed her when she said that a little aphrodisiac would have no effect.. demon lords had high tolerance to alcohol so I thought the same for poisons like these.

I was wrong.

VERY WRONG.

"Noel, I can't.. I can't.. stop.." Liliath gasped for breath. Her knees gave way and she fell to the floor.

I paused, turned to help her up. Her face was rose coloured, flushed, skin moist with sweat as with hair came off into an untangled, loose mess.

"It's spinning.. spinning.. ah.. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.." her repetitive calls drowned into moans of my name.

[Absolute End]

I held her before she fell backwards.

At this rate, even I would be affected.

I don't know if it's to do with pheromones or just my brian, but.. I r-really want to do it.

At the same time, I know I absolutely mustn't.

Absolutely.

I'm sure she'll wake up in a few hours.. probably midnight or something. I'll have to come up with countermeasures if the aphrodisiac is still acting on her by then.

"Ngghahh.." I held Liliath in a princess carry, she squirmed about.. the fuck. Even when she's unconscious she can still chip away at my reasoning.

The hell kind of wife did I just get anyways?

"Ah.. ah.."

Is this supposed to be family friendly? Cuz her voice is telling me no.

Here..

I pushed the door open and brought forth the door to the apartment.

Passing the living room-- then into Prune's room, I dropped Liliath on the bed.

Her body was red, fingers twitching. She looked like she was having a hard time breathing.

What should I do about this? Appraisal said that it was an active aphrodisiac. Is this the normal effect? Or an overdose of sorts?

How long would the effect last? Is she suffering some sort of condition right now? She's not in danger right?

"Hot.." she tried to wiggle, bending her knees, pulling up the skirt and..

I held her leg down and straightened her skirt.

Should I restrain her?

'Noel, is Liliath alright?' Nine asked.

'She's not, take a look at the situation with [God's Eyes] and you'll get what I mean.'

'What happened?' Jennifer-chan asked.

'Aphrodisiac.'

'The entire glass,' Prune added.

'What should I do? Restraint her? Hold her down?'

"Hah.. Noel.. ngg.. Stop.. I.."

'My sanity is dying.'

I decided to just walk out of the room. If I lose myself here, it'd be even worse. Sorry Liliath, give me some time to think through my next step.. hopefully she doesn't take off her dress.

'Maybe buy an antidote from the shop?'

'I thought of that too but I was thinking of saving cost..' I didn't send. Save cost? Why did I need to save points in this sort of situation? So instead: 'I'll take a look.'

'Aphrodisiac antidote.'

A number of options appeared… it was an absolute nightmare. I couldn't understand the directions for each antidote. Some said it's to cure B-type aphrodisiac, others state that it works for A-type aphrodisiac from the Psychoshroom family.

The keyword search in the item shop isn't as user friendly, unlike the map. The search algorithm is based on category and words in the name of the item or description.

'Lascivious slime.'

[Slime Antigen Cream]

[Description: it functions to reduce the effect of any slime toxins absorbed into the body. Apply to site of contact]

[Slime Antigen Liquid]

[Description: acts as a preventive medicine to suppress absorption of slime into the body. WARNING: product does not cure already imminent effects]

Damn it..

All the other slime antigens aren't direct antidotes to the current Liliath. What other options are there..

'Noel, someone is in our room,' Nine typed.

"Huh?" I eyed the map panel floating next to me.

An orange marker in our room.. right outside the apartment door.

'What? Noel, she's a Bougainvillea and.. c-checkk her status..'

I know. I realized that a little while back.

Rinalanashina Bougainvillea.

When I searched up my own surname, what I got was a noble household. July Bougainvillea and April Bougainvillea were also present in this mansion.

I didn't get why this Rinalanashina Bougainvillea had an orange marker nor why she was here.

She was trying to open the door.

As for the red marker, that butler who served the poison-- he went to a building at the back of the mansion.

'Nine, pull away some of the stats from the guy with the red marker to make him harmless.'

In that case I'll deal with Rina..

Huh?

Her true status..

My mind went blank.

Honestly? Seriously? What the hell?

Should I laugh?

Demon lord.

A demon lord.

Rinalanashina Bougainvillea-- the demon lord.

Related to Javial in any way? I had no clue.

Think Noel. Think.. what's the best thing I can do at this sort of time.. if I left her be she would leave right? She's holding a dangerous needle in her hand… I don't know what poison that is.

"Nnn.."

Crap. Liliath should take priority.

'General antidote for aphrodisiac,' search.

[Toxin Removal Potion (light)]

[Description: Removes toxins from the body such as poison, aphrodisiac, alcohol, mercury, carcinogenic compounds, etc.; Light effect.]

[General Antidote Potion (light)]

[Description: An all-rounder potion to heal light injuries, cure disease and remove toxins from the body including mental effects brought upon by aphrodisiac, shrooms or drugs]

[Aphrodisiac Suppressor]

[Description: suppresses the action of aphrodisiac. It does not cure the person, it only makes it so the person remains sane through the period in which the approididac is in effect]

Okay. Found.

100 points.

Decent. It comes in a vial.. how should I administer it..

Maybe mouth to mouth.. damn it. Shut the fuck up Noel. Do it like how the doctor fed Liliath the Elixir last time.

I'll leave the demon lord banging on the main door aside for now-- that door is indestructible-- and proceed to Prune's room.

'Noel, that demon lord outside your room. You realize that right?' I'll set that issue aside for now, Nine.

I opened the door and..

A not-so-family-friendly scene spread out in front of me.

Liliath's clothes were an absolute mess, her dress opened up all the way to the.. I should just stop describing this.

"Haha.. ha.. got you~"

"Ng?!"

Her hands wrapped around my neck as I looked down at her from above. She pulled me in and.. we kissed.

No. NO. NO.. what the hell.. Get off! GET OFF?! NOT THE TIME TO DO THIS!!

I pushed Liliath away, she rolled over the bed a little.. so she did that unconsciously too.. what the.. there's even a stain on the bed..

Sorry Prune..

I fixed Liliath's clothes.. this time it's a lot more crumpled. I could do nothing about her already messed up hair.

A line of saliva ran from her lips to her cheeks..

She's absolutely my type alright.

NO. QUACK UP AND ADMINISTER THE ANTIDOTE ALREADY!

I help Liliath to a sitting position, using the wall as support. Opening up the vial at the cork, I pried open her loose mouth and dripped the antidote slowly down her throat.

She coughed.

I paused.

Her coughing got worse.. shit.

I started rubbing her back and bent her forward.. I should've really done this else where shouldn't I? To the bed.. I apologize for this.

"HAah.. cough.. HAa.. Noel?" she called out in a feeble voice.

"Liliath.."

"Ah! Noel~!" hearts appeared in her eyes.

"Drink this!" I shoved the tube into her mouth.

Her throat moved together with the liquid that entered, the entire test tube jammed in her mouth, tears formed in the corner of her eyes.. running down her red cheeks.

Debaucherous. Coquettish. Sensual. Tempting.. there were many words you can use to describe this scene.

I grimaced a little.

She pulled out the test tube with a pop. She threw it to the ground, it shattered into pieces.

"Noel.. I'm hot, It's itchy inside.. "

"Liliath.. hold on for a few minutes.. the antidote should.." oh what the hell.

[Absolute End]

I should've just done this.

And she fell forward this time. I held her at the shoulder.. and brought her into my embrace.

She smelled.. I don't know how to describe it. All I knew was that she smelled nice.. really nice. It's tempting. Tempting..

She's mine. Her body is mine. I can do whatever I want..

I can't.

I can't.. for our sake.

Resolving myself, I pulled away and laid Liliath onto the bed.

Her skin was still flushed, but she was no longer twitching.

'Prune, sorry for the mess I made,'

'Mess?' Oh, her reply came fast.

'I won't talk too much about it. You'll know when you see it..'

'I've removed most of Vincent's skills. He's got some pretty cool ones like [Silent Steps] and [You Didn't See Me]. He also had some bad ones like [PlayBoy (B)] and [Hypnosis (A)].

For a butler to have these skills.. just what does he do on a nightly basis?

Welp, If Nine said so then it must be true.

Now.. how should I deal with that demon lord?
