Secret Medicine of Rejuvenation

[Sophia-chan’s point of view]

Just like any other day, I was in the office working when I heard a knock on my door. I responded to the knock and Neumann-san and Gonzalez-san quickly entered.

They’ve been coming to see me almost everyday. Is this their way of showing me they’re interested?  If that’s the case, I have no problem following them to bed right now.

“Hey, jou-chan, we have something to ask.”

“We’re sorry to disturb you, Sophia-kun, but we need to check something with you.”

Of course. They’re both in ‘work mode.’

It would be nice if either of them could think about something other than work.

“O-Of course! What is it?”

“Some of the workers living in the city have come together to begin repairing the slums to the south. We haven’t started moving new residents in yet because it would be troublesome to repair the area once it has become populated. This is what we wanted to talk with you about?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why does a city that has only existed for a few weeks have slums?”

I’ve also wondered about this.

I’ve noticed that the southern area of town also has its own maintenance costs as well as an expense labelled ‘Feeding.’ Is something being kept there? The feeding cost is noted down for multiple sections in these slums as well so it’s a considerable sum of money.

“I-I don’t know why it’s there but it has been there since the beginning.”

“I don’t know either. There’s no one living there as far as I know.”

“I can never understand what Tanaka’s thinking.”

“We can’t know that it’s Tanaka’s doing, Gonzalez. It could be the mayor.”

“I could see that being possible.”

“Right?”

I guess they don’t know either.

Then there’s no point speculating on it. I can say that neither Tanaka nor the Dragon are normal. Either of them could have their reasons for making a place like that. Trying to understand either of their minds is impossible.

“We actually have another report concerning the slums.”

“What is this one about?”

“It appears that Nui have decided to settle there.”

Nui? What is a Nui?

It’s the first time I’ve heard the word.

“Um, excuse me, what is a Nui…?”

“Wha — isn’t that bad!?”

I tried to ask but was cut off by Neumann-san’s shout. Neither of them heard me speak so I lost my chance to learn more about it. As a simple town girl, I’m not very well versed in the creatures of the world.

Should this be an area I study?

“It’s dangerous if anyone decides to venture too close, but completely harmless if left alone. No one has been injured so far as the Nui have yet to leave the uninhabited slums.”

“Still, we can’t just leave them there, right?”

“Of course not. As soon as we discovered their existence, we got a party together to take care of them. However, when the party arrived, they discovered that there were more than originally thought. It would be dangerous to try to take them all on at once.”

“Another troublesome creature has appeared.”

“This is just another problem caused by having slums.”

“You’re right.”

What is this ‘Nui?’

It’s fun to say.

Nui nui.

“But if that’s the creature, doesn’t it seem likely the Mayor is involved?”

“That’s what I came here to ask. Even though the Nui are small, they’re still a subspecies of dragon. Could it be possible she’s welcoming them as guests just as we do humans? I’m not sure what to do.”

“I’m sure most people overlook that fact due to the fluffy hair that covers their body. It’s common and can lead to people thinking of them as domestic animals or pets despite them being dragons. If someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing tries to interact with them, we’ll be cleaning up their mess.”

“That’s the problem.”

Apparently, it’s a type of dragon that’s also fluffy.

I’ve never seen such a cute creature.

If it was a normal dragon it should’ve been noticed immediately.

“It can’t be helped. We’ll have to leave them be until Tanaka returns. If it’s him, I doubt ten or even twenty Nui would put up much of a fight. It will be a major problem for the city if we don’t manage to take them all out at once.”

“They have a strong sense of companionship and are known to frenzy if they see a fellow Nui being harmed.”

“I’ve heard the same.”

As I was listening to the two of them converse something occurred to me.

“…ah.”

My voice leaked out unintentionally.

Feeding costs.

Multiple feeding costs.

“Hm? Is something wrong, jou-chan?”

“Do you know something about this, Sophia-kun?”

“N-N-No! It’s nothing at all!”

I think I’ve discovered something I wasn’t meant to find. This ledger was originally Tanaka-san’s. I don’t know if anyone else had access to it or when the last time he wrote in it was, but it was originally his.

Books can be scary things.

I’m sorry to the two of you, but I’m going to pretend I don’t know anything.

Clickety-clack

As we were jostled back-and-forth by the carriage, I relayed the events of the last several days to Edita Sensei.

Everything that happened on the Dark Continent with a particular focus on the demonic ruins I discovered in Mount Doltz. Sensei lives in the Penny Empire and is familiar with the Goggoru tribe, so I thought she deserved to know everything.

I didn’t want her going to explore the ruins and accidentally stumbling upon the masochist demon.

“I-I see, all of that happened….”

“Yes, that’s why I think it’s best if both of us stay away from that place. He usually stays by his master, Doris’s, side but those ruins are important to him and the rest of the demons. I think it’s best if we avoid any unnecessary conflicts with him.”

She still had a strange expression on her face with a complex mix of emotions that was impossible for me to read. I wonder what she’s thinking about. Occasionally, she would look out the window and stare at nothing in particular for several minutes at a time. I don’t know why, but it made me feel guilty.

“So, if this is enough, I just need to know the recipe.”

I took out a small leather pouch from my pocket and took out the Green Sylph wings I brought with. I carefully took them out and laid them on the table between us. They still had a pale green shine to them. There were only a few pairs as these were the wings I had received as thanks from the Green Sylphs themselves.

“You actually got them….”

“Will this be enough?”

“W-Well…this amount may not be enough….”

Edita Sensei spoke quietly while staring at the wings. There was clear confusion in her eyes. Sensei is an honest person so she’s bad at hiding her true feelings.

“If that’s the case, we can go through the recipe once we return to Dragon City. If there is any special equipment you need from your atelier I can look into flying it back. Does that sound okay?”

“…eh? What do you mean?”

“I have more wings back in my room. I managed to collect nearly a hundred of the wings, so I doubt we’ll be short. I’m just worried about how long they’ll keep.”

“Wha….”

Edita Sensei jumped up in surprise.

The only reason I have this many is due to Goggoru-chan committing genocide on the Green Sylphs when she was desperate for someone to talk to. I didn’t want them to go to waste so I decided to gather them all and take them with me. I’m glad that I did.

“What’s wrong?”

“D-Do you really have that much? Seriously? Actual Green Sylph wings?”

“Yes.”

“….”

I decided to omit Goggoru-chan’s part in gathering the wings. Which makes Edita Sensei’s astonishment understandable. You’d never expect this quiet girl sitting beside me to be able to hunt down nearly a hundred Green Sylphs.

“I’m sorry for collecting so many.”

Maybe they’re something similar to an endangered species. I could imagine her saying, “The herbs in the forest belong to everyone so don’t take too many,” or something like that. Edita Sensei is an elf and they’re known to care about stuff like that.

“…no, it’s nothing you need to apologize for.”

“But it looks like you’re upset.”

“….”

There was something about her appearance that reminded me of the fairies which made me feel guilty. They always had innocent smiles and displayed their pussies for everyone to see, free of charge. They were Goddesses to virgins like me.

I wish I had been able to keep one to use as an onahole.

“It makes yesterday even worse knowing that you’re not only reading the thoughts I wanted to protect but also able to tell exactly how that made me feel yesterday when I first found out. You always know what I’m thinking and how I feel toward you. It’s pathetic knowing that you know every inch of my miserable mind.”

“…Edita-san?”

“Don’t bother. Just hear about it from the Goggoru over there.”

“Umm…what do you mean?”

“I wish I had never lied from the start…..”

“….”

Something she lied about at the start?

Suddenly there’s a strange, suspicious atmosphere in our carriage.

“Is that why you decided to come with us today?”

“…that’s right.”

When I heard this, I was overwhelmed with excitement. I don’t know how many times I’ve fantasized about having a threesome with Edita Sensei and Goggoru-chan. I’d love to marry them both, have sex with them every day, make babies together, and rape them until the end of my life.

“She never tells anyone what she’s read.”

“I’m telling you it’s okay.”

“Still, I made a promise.”

For as long as Goggoru-chan still wishes to have someone to talk to, she won’t reveal the many secrets she learns through her powers. We’ve spent the last few days together and I honestly believe this is true.

I don’t know what will happen if she ever gets bored of talking to only me. Which is why, before that day comes, I want to build a strong trust between us. I still want her to reverse rape me.

“…I see.”

“Yes, I won’t break that promise.”

“Then, I’ll just have to tell you myself.”

“What is it?”

There was a brief pause before Sensei continued.

“There are many different recipes to create the Elixir of Youth, but they all have these same core ingredients: wings of a Green Sylph, Ramei horns, Golden Grass, Giacin Drops, and the blood and liver of a High Elf. In regards to the final ingredient, regular elves won’t work as a substitute.”

“…High Elf blood and liver?”

I think I might know a source for that that’s very close to me.

“When we first met, I knew the recipe for the Elixir but I was afraid to tell you the truth so I kept quiet about it until today. I even made sure to remove the page with the recipe from my book.”

“I see.”

The plump thighed blonde loli began to ramble.

She must have been worrying about how I’d react since last night.

“I was afraid of dying even though the life I have now is thanks to you. You’re someone capable of defeating a Red Dragon so I knew there was nothing I could do to stop you. I’ve been so scared.”

“….”

I could understand her thinking that I’m creepy, but I never thought she was scared of me. I actually thought we were close. We ate meals together and I thought we were pretty open with each other.

This made me think back on all of our past interactions.

She was always using her charm as a woman.

My Sensei who always flashed her panties at me was doing it in order to seduce me to some extent. She was panicking inside and this was all she could think to do to keep me from potentially attacking her. Her thighs were her secret weapon.

“….”

I thought back to the times I’ve seen Sensei’s panties.

The gap was incredibly erotic.

Edita Sensei filled with fear as she flashes me her panties. She becomes increasingly desperate to satisfy me so she decided to wear increasingly more erotic panties.

“I never realized.”

“…i-it’s true. Which is why, I-I-I umm, I’m….”

Still.

I need a High Elf’s liver.

There’s one right in front of me.

I wonder if I could manage to collect it quickly and heal her without causing her much pain. Maybe she’s been worrying about me deciding to do that as well. That might be why she’s trying so hard today.

Even if I could do it without causing any pain, I don’t think I’d be able to bring myself to do it. Maybe I’d consider it if we had only just met, but we’ve become close.

Aah, too bad.

It’s a shame, but I can’t bring myself to do it.

“But, please, believe me when I tell you that I’m not scared of you any more.”

“I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that for so long.”

“Um, b-but now I uh…I think I can….”

Sensei still wants to help me despite what it means for her.

Which is why I can’t ask her to do it.

“I’m sure you must have been very scared.”

“O-Oi, don’t try to change the subject.”

“I’ve decided that I’m going to give up on creating the Elixir of Youth.”

“…..”

Edita Sensei fell silent after hearing this.

“I’ve basically been told the elixir is impossible to make. I’m going to ask you not to bring it up again because I think you deserve better than to be used as an ingredient for my own selfish desires.”

The many experiences I’ve had with Sensei over the last few weeks has been reward enough. The ability to talk with a member of the opposite sex without having to pay for it. It’s something that would’ve been unthinkable in my previous life. Even if I paid around ¥4,000 an hour, the amount of time I’ve spent with Sensei would’ve added up to around the cost of a used car.

The time I’ve spent talking with her as easily exceeded the total time I spent talking to any women in my previous thirty years of life in a modern society. 

“O-Oi, then you….”

“It doesn’t matter if I can’t regain my youth. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“But, that’s what I thought you wanted? You were desperate!”

“The sacrifice needed to reach that goal is too much for me to willingly make.”

“I-Is that so? …no, but you….”

“Don’t worry about it Edita-san.”

I can understand her reaction but I honestly feel like there’s no other choice.

Even if I were to be young again, I doubt I’d ever meet a woman as amazing as Edta Sensei. So, I’m happy enough spending as much time with her now as I can.

Even if she stops flashing me her panties, I’d still refuse.

“Are you okay with that? You don’t stand to gain anything….”

“That’s not true at all.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s just like I told you earlier.”

“You did?”

Oops, I forgot that was just an inner monologue and I never said anything to her. I’m getting used to “speaking” with Goggoru-chan. I feel like if I get too used to it I’ll start appearing crazy to others. I’ll need to be mindful of it in the future.

This also made me think back to what Goggoru-chan had said earlier.

Goggoru-chan may have purposefully used the term ‘High Elf’ before to make sure I was fully aware of the position Edita Sensei was in. I’m glad she did.

She helped out Sensei. Edita wasn’t forced to tell me herself that she was a High Elf and she possessed the final ingredients I needed. That may be the smartest and coolest thing I’ve ever seen someone do.

“Oi, w-what did you tell me…?”

“Meeting you was more of a reward than creating the elixir.”

“….”

“So I don’t need anything else.”

Thank you, Goggoru-chan. I’ll be sure to talk to you an extra 30% tonight.

If there’s anything else you want, let me know.

For now, I want to fix my relationship with Edita Sensei.

Even if I can’t see her panties for the time being, I’d be happy if I could talk to her everyday. After all, she’s still a beautiful blonde loli. One day, I’d love it if I could get her to spread her legs using my charm.

“….”

But, that’s right.

Does this mean I’ll never be young again?
