Hero Audition Ch. 23

Terms of the Contract

We arrived at the bathroom. There weren’t any shoes at the door, so nobody else is there. Which means it is just the two of us.

Lily immediately started taking off her clothes as if she didn’t care about that. That lightly covered butt is as tight and beautiful as ever.

And I haven’t even praised her milky smooth legs that stretch all the way up. She is the kind of beauty you have to admire even when not considering sexual attraction. This must be what Lily meant when she was talking about admiring works of art.

Lily came over to me in her natural form.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah…..no…..nothing…..”

I wonder what kind of face I’m making right now. I don’t think we’ll be playing any more today, so it’s probably better to avoid any more perverted remarks.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t fed you yet today. You listened to me, so I guess I can allow you a smell. I was sweating profusely from how nervous Olive suddenly showing up made me.”

Lily’s expression wasn’t the calm face of a friend but her usual cold look. She is the type of person who likes to get straight to the heart of the issue without worrying about formalities. My body is screaming that it wants to be controlled by someone like this.

The minister’s daughter, an aristocrat among aristocrats. Passing this hero audition is almost certain for her. Her firm manner supported by her self-confidence makes me sure of that. And a natural talent that makes even someone like me who knows almost nothing about fighting recognize her offensive power.

Not as a friend, but as a ruler, she smiled thinly and slowly unbuttoned my clothes. In her room she did it from behind, but this time, she is looking me directly in the eyes as she’s doing it.

“Ah…..let me handle it…..I stink…..”

“Are you worried about what Olive said? Everyone starts to smell when they haven’t had a bath yet. And you seem to like it.”

My clothes were unbuttoned down to my chest. Lily was slowly taking my clothes off as if she were taking her time enjoying undressing me.

“You make it sound like I don’t care who I’m smelling.”

“Then who smells the best?”

“I-…..I’ve never smelled anyone else before…..”

“Oh, so you can’t say confidently that your master is number one?”

My heart was running rampant. Master. It sounded so sweet. Is there any better name than that to call Lily?

“Lil-…..Lily-sama. Master’s smell is the best.”

“Hearing you call me that makes my skin crawl. Continue with Lily-san from now on.”

I’m not allowed to address her formally. While I was mulling that over, all my clothes right down to the underwear were pulled off me without me noticing it.

“Symmetrical down to the very chest. It’s beautiful.”

I tried hiding my chest with my arms, but my hands were immediately grabbed and forced down at my sides. She wants me to show her even more. It’s like seeing me naked is not a big deal.

“Ah…..um…..Lily-san is prettier, and this is embarrassing. I’m nothing special.”

“Nothing special? You shouldn’t speak like that when I’m the woman complimenting you. I think you’re beautiful. And you should be making yourself look as beautiful as possible to live up to my expectations.”

Lily is always resolute in her thoughts. She doesn’t pay Olive’s badmouthing any mind. She has her own goals and ideals she sticks to. She is the strongest person I’ve ever met.

I’m just a dancer whose life is on shaky ground. I don’t have any kind of goal, and even when I’m part of a huge competition like this, I am just enjoying myself and taking whatever bonuses I can get.

“You’re thinking something bad again right now aren’t you. Come here”

Lily grabbed my hand and dragged me deeper inside the room. We went into one of the shower stalls together, and she closed the curtain. This is the second time we’ve been together like this.

As soon as we got inside, Lily grabbed my head and pushed it into her chest. The angle was kind of weird because of how she forced me over. My mouth was completely sunk into her chest, so I could only breathe through my nose.

Every deep breath I took, there was a slightly sour smell entering my nose. Mixed with Lily’s sweet scent, it reminded me of the fruits lined up in the market.

I move through the many stalls, picking out the ripest looking item to the owner. It gets skillfully cut up and placed on a plate. Instead of using the fork I get with it, I pick up the pieces with my fingers and pop them into my mouth, letting the rich aroma fill my mouth.

No matter how many times I breathed it in, Lily’s smell did not fade. Once my nose gets used to it, I won’t be able to smell it anymore, so I decided to enjoy this moment as much as possible. Meanwhile Lily was stroking my head with each breath I took.

“So? Does it smell?”

I lifted my head just a little to catch my breath.

Between this and the humidity in the bathroom, my body was gradually growing hot. Lily must have also sensed my feelings from my rough breathing because her grip around my body tightened.

Once my excitement reached its climax, my body went rigid, and I caught my breath. I thought that would be it, but this time my legs turned to jelly, and my hips collapsed beneath me. If I was by myself, I would have fallen to the ground, but Lily was there to hold me up. It was like someone trying to help a newborn fawn desperately trying to stand for the first time.

“Did it feel good?”

Lily’s voice whispered into my ear as my head rested on her shoulder. I still haven’t recovered enough to speak, so I nodded my head a few times instead.

“Raise your head”

When I slowly looked up, I found Lily’s face right in front of me. I’m suddenly remembering the sweet mouth-to-mouth ice exchange in the room and looked away.

“Look at me. Don’t miss at thing.”

She preemptively restricted my actions. Lily’s gaze was staring right back into my eyes as if to tie me down.

“I don’t care how much underestimate yourself, but as long as you are having fun with me, you should think of yourself as the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Lily’s words pierced my heart. This was also an order. When I nodded my head, she smiled.

“After all, it’s not fun to bully someone who doesn’t have any confidence in themselves. That is just picking on the weak. The fun comes from whittling down someone’s overflowing self-confidence.”

I understand these are Lily’s true feelings. She seems to have the impression that she is stronger than those around her, probably because of how competitive society is for the upper class.

“Show me that figure from the debut assembly. I want to see that girl again, beautiful and full of confidence. And this time, I will be sure to break her.”

Lily’s expression gradually fell apart, and by the end, she had a large grin with a bit of drool coming out the side of her mouth. The strength in her arms around my waist also tightened. This is Lily’s true essence. She loves winning battles and making other people submit.

Take a peek underneath, and you won’t find some shy, sheltered girl. You’ll find a demon who is able to enjoy as much pleasure mentally as she struggles with with physically. I’ve made a deal with the devil.

What will happen to me after I am “broken” as Lily put it? Will I be thrown away like a piece of garbage? Or will I be repaired to be reused again and again? It’s my fault for not checking the details of the contract before I signed. But this is fine. I want her to push me to the point I break.

“I understand. If you think you can break me, then go ahead and try.”

I don’t know if there is pleasure in the process of being broken or if the real pleasure doesn’t begin until after. Either way, I agreed to step into this unknown territory.

Lily placed the palm of her hand on my cheek with an excited expression.

“Good…..that face…..it’s irresistable…..”

We haven’t been in the bath for long. We could continue. As soon as I let that thought into my head, I heard someone coming in from the dressing room.

Lily looked surprised for a moment, but she a wide grin immediately spread on her face.

“Shall we let them hear the sweet sound of your voice? No need for you to hold back.”

She gently pushed me against the wall. As my body fell back, my hand brushed against the shower handle, and a stream of hot water came out. If I can keep a quiet voice, I think I can handle it.

Lily’s face slowly approached mine as the hot water from the shower poured over us.
