Chapter 258: A Problem With Lotion

Arriving at the Academy, I went to Class 3 with Eliza before going toward Alesia's office on the third floor.

Last night, when Garcia and Cecil massaged me alternatively, I asked them where they got the pink lotion and what it was. I had a similar thing in my inventory, although the effect was more potent, so I was curious.

The first reason was its ingredients and where it originated. My guess was the Underground City near this Academy City, which I had no idea of.

My <Presence Detection> radar was versatile but not omniscient. If the Underground City were built deep inside, just like Border City, I wouldn't be able to find it. At most, I would only be able to find people who came out of the city.

'And most probably, they entered and left the city with [Teleportation Gem], so their location wasn't known.'

As for Cecil, I heard she met with a friend who moved to Academy City for a trade to buy that aphrodisiac lotion. That friend was also a former pirate who changed his occupation to a merchant because he managed to get rid of his Sins.

Still, because he had once dealt with drugs, and that was where he got his Sins, he no longer got any Sins when dealing with drugs anymore. Such a strange system by the Goddess, but I knew he would still gain Sins in the future when the number of illegal drugs he sold to people reached a certain amount.

As for now, the merchant boasted to Cecil that not only normal civilians but Nobles also bought his product, even knowing that an aphrodisiac that increased lust could as well be an illegal item in the Virtue Kingdom.

Or maybe they didn't know that there was an aphrodisiac in the lotion and only used it because it was fun and gave a variety to play with their wives. I didn't know anything about that.

My second reason was that I deemed this lotion could be dangerous. The fact it appeared only now, and I had never heard of it spreading outside the Border City, was enough of a factor to make me suspicious that this aphrodisiac was from the Sin Kingdom.

Yes, the only place I knew who used this lotion was the Border City. Nina held a similar pink liquid when I asked for her to serve me that time. But that was an aphrodisiac liquid and not a lotion.

Who could sneak it into the Virtue Kingdom if it was indeed from the Sin Kingdom? Teleportation between the two Kingdoms was impossible because of the interference of the barren land. The only way to sneak the lotion in was through a legal path or through the Border City.

They could also only sneak in the recipe of the lotion, however...

'The timing of its appearance was also coincidentally matched with Duke Blacktomb's stay. If Alesia knows nothing about this, I probably will need to go to the Border City to ask that bunny girl. They surely know something about this aphrodisiac lotion.'

Anyway, if I knew the source and the ingredient, I would be able to judge whether it was safe to use or not. I also had instructed Cecil not to use it for now, but I kind of forgot to tell her to investigate it.

'It's not really an urgent problem. Heck, it might become my source of money if I managed to take over and control whoever makes this lotion. The effect is real, and I didn't really notice the side effects even after Garcia smeared it all over our bodies.'

Yes, I just wanted to sate my curiosity.

"Headmistress, are you inside?"

Knock knock knock!

Arriving in front of her office, I knocked on the door and called out to her.

"Enter." A voice answered shortly after, and I pushed the door open.

Inside, Alesia was facing stacks of documents on her desk. On the couch was Emilia, facing the same amount of documents too. When I entered, both of them stopped and looked at me.

"Art- student Arthur?" Emilia called out, not expecting that I was the one who entered because she focused on the documents.

She also changed the way she called me as the headmistress was in the room.

'She doesn't need to do that, though. Alesia is already aware of our relationship.' I chuckled in my mind as I watched Emilia's confused face.

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to ask headmistress Alesia about something," I replied as I sat across from her, turning my attention to Alesia. "Did you know anything about a new kind of lotion that could increase lust and women's sensitivity that is now circulating around the Virtue Kingdom?"

As I asked Alesia, I didn't fail to notice Emilia's body jolted slightly, as if she recognized what I was talking about. Did she buy it too? As a daughter of a noble house, Dixon County, and a massive pervert, she probably heard about it somewhere and decided to try it.

The older elf nodded to answer my question.

"I am aware." She said, "But I do nothing about it. It came from an Underground City near the Capital City. It's circulating as a new massage lotion that could make a woman energetic. Are you interested in that?"

"Yes." I nodded without hiding my interest. We all knew that I slept with many girls here.

The headmistress even spied once when I did it with Emilia in the Counseling Room.

Then, I continued, "I tried it yesterday with my nun and lover, a former pirate named Cecil. They apparently bought it from Cecil's friend. When I used it, I immediately noticed something. It contains an aphrodisiac, which makes a woman energetic and increases their lust."

The latter part was important, and Alesia narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed like she wasn't aware of that part and urged me to continue my question with her eyes.

"Do you know who spread the lotion first, and when it first appeared? Because I suspected your new friend was the one who intentionally spread this lotion to make this Kingdom in disarray."

I wouldn't allow that to happen. Not only would that give me trouble, but the safety of this Kingdom would also worsen.

I wouldn't have to ask if the lotion was only circulated in the Underground City. However... the story was different if it was spread even to a normal city.

'Beatrice is working hard to break King Cassius and push him to become better while influencing the Queen to turn to my side. Not only that, the Church would definitely get involved if many citizens suddenly gained Sins more than usual.'

If that happened, they would surely need my help to restore the balance. And I would need to work harder because they were already addicted to using the lotion!

'My nuns are fine because I can clean their bodies with <Purification> and use <Cure> to remove the addiction of using the lotion if there was any. I have seen the effect of using stimulants on Cecil, but her natural sensitivity has increased from my training, and she didn't need my sense enhancement potion to make her feel like she was in heaven when having sex.'

I needed to stop the lotion from spreading further because I didn't want to work. On top of that, there was a personal goal of mine, and the matter of Alesia's dream could be disturbed if the lotion indeed came from the Sin Kingdom.

"I will look into this matter." Alesia put down her pen and stood up. "I didn't know it contained an aphrodisiac, so I never looked into it deeply. Also, I will inform King Cassius about this so they can mobilize their kingdom knights to get the already spread lotions. As for you-"

"And I will ask the church too." I nodded at her, knowing what she wanted to say next. Standing up, I continued, "They will surely treat this matter seriously."

"Yes." Alesia nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Emilia. "Teacher Emilia, I will leave the documents to you. Please finish it before school is over."

A magic circle appeared under Alesia's feet, and she teleported away right after saying that.

"Yes." Emilia nodded firmly, but she looked really tired and dejected.

Smiling, I fished out two stamina recovery potions and put them on the table.

"Good luck, Emilia. We can use that thing you bought before tonight in my mansion if you want." I showed an understanding smile, and she beamed happily.

"Perfect timing... I wanted to try it tonight before it became prohibited. And coincidentally, tomorrow I have a day off." She said with an expectant look. "I am sexually frustrated, so get ready to do it until morning, Arthur."

"I can handle that." I smiled confidently. "Should I invite another girl too to make sure you aren't the one who got exhausted? Even my nun, Garcia, couldn't handle the pleasure of that lotion and needed rest after each session."

"Is the aphrodisiac effect that strong?" Emilia asked with a shocked look, but it was also mixed with arousal. She probably imagined herself covered in the pink lotion and was fucked until she fainted.

"It is," I confirmed with a nod. "It also increases your sensitivity, so you will feel almost twice the pleasure than usual."

"That's truly a prohibited lotion, then. I thought it was similar to a massage oil lotion that only made one feel a bit better."

When she said that, her gesture of licking her lips seductively betrayed her words. As expected from a perverted teacher, she just wanted to satisfy her sexual desire and didn't even care about the side effects.
