I Became The Academy Necromancer
Chapter 341: Side Story - Jealousy

“…”

The activity with the Dark Spiritualist back in the forest was more stimulating than I imagined, yet they opened a new horizon in my soul.

However, the outcome itself wasn’t that great.

[I-I told you, we didn’t do it! We only kissed and sucked a little here and there, then his artificial body shattered—!]

Dragged away by Findenai and Stella, the Dark Spiritualist was muttering some strange excuse.

Nevertheless, I picked up the pillow that had fallen on the floor and briefly allowed myself to get lost in thought.

The reason we got caught was probably due to Findenai’s sharp intuition; she must have noticed the various traces.

It could have been the smell or perhaps the loud cries of the Dark Spiritualist from the forest.

Though I never expected to be caught this quickly.

Even though our relationship had shifted from maid and master to lovers, could it really change this much?

Even Findenai still called me “Master Bastard” from time to time. So I wasn’t sure if it was really right for me to sleep outside.

Well, anyway…

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d be able to get any sleep tonight. Just thinking of the time spent with the Dark Spiritualist was enough to make my fatigue vanish.

Of course, it wasn’t because I was aroused.

Mental body…

Thanks to the Dark Spiritualist, I stumbled upon a hint about a completely new concept.

When we first kissed, I was unable to feel any warmth, scent, or saliva from the Dark Spiritualist.

But as we progressed, warmth began to appear, she started sweating, and her saliva began to moisten my lips.

That shouldn’t have been possible for an ordinary spirit.

That shouldn’t have happened.

However, the Dark Spiritualist was a special kind of spirit.

Even though she was dead, the continent still recognized her as a necessary and inevitable existence, so she couldn’t be viewed as just an ordinary spirit.

How is this even possible?

As I was lost in my thoughts, Findenai came out of the room and glared at me.

“How far did you go?”

“You already heard everything from the Dark Spiritualist, didn’t you?”

“That bitch just keeps bragging while pretending to explain.”

“…”

Now that I thought about it, she even bragged to Stella about the things I had said to her before.

“I just…”

However, when I tried to explain myself, the words wouldn’t come out. Back when I was caught up in the heat of the moment, it didn’t seem like that big of a deal, but thinking about it now, my actions felt embarrassing.

Was this what they called post-nut clarity?

I felt like I had just learned something, but as I hesitated in front of Findenai, she strode forward.

“Is it hard to talk about it?”

“…”

“Then show me through your actions.”

It was a blatant temptation.

She quickly grabbed my hand and pulled it, trying to make me touch her.

“Huh? So, what did you do? Did you fondle her breasts? Or did you put it in and shake your hips vigorously? Like a dog in heat? Huh? You dog!”

“No, we didn’t go that far.”

I tried to pull my hand from her chest, but Findenai’s strength was overwhelming.

“Findenai.”

When I called out to her, Findenai simply glared at me with irritation. I had to use mana to forcefully pull my hand away.

“What?”

However, after calling her, I felt like there was nothing appropriate to say.

It felt strange to apologize, but doing what she wanted right now would be impossible due to the limitations of my artificial body.

On the other hand, I couldn’t ignore her feelings either.

Then, should I ask her to wait because there was a possibility of me creating a mental body?

However, there was no certainty, and honestly, whether I had a body or not wasn’t what mattered right now.

As a woman, the fact that her man had just engaged in a sexual act with another woman was obviously something unbearable.

“You have nothing to say for yourself, do you?”

“…Yes.”

“Huh, this is so fucking frustrating. Can’t you at least beg or make up some excuse?”

She sighed, frustration mixed in her voice as she brushed her bangs aside.

“Huh? Something like, ‘I’m sorry, I love you, I won’t do it again, you’re the best’? If you just lie like that, I’ll pretend to believe it!”

Finally, as her voice grew louder, I replied honestly.

“Is that really what you want to hear?”

“What?”

“A lie that we both know is meaningless won’t be of much help, right? Besides… as the person you love, that’s not really who I am, is it?”

This was my way of fighting back.

While it now felt like a distant memory, there was a time when Findenai had parted ways with me to protect the Clark Republic.

To remain the Findenai I loved, she left me and fought for the Republic’s freedom.

The current situation at hand was similar.

Not offering excuses.

Facing the situation honestly.

Not hiding my true feelings but revealing them openly.

This was the only clear and certain action I could take to not lose Findenai.

“…”

“I will always remain the same, the one you love. However, at the same time, I will always respect your choice.”

If she decided to leave, I wouldn’t hold her back.

Since I was yet to make a choice, I had no right to reach out to someone leaving.

“You bastard.”

Findenai’s glare softened. Amid her mixed emotions, she spoke her true thoughts.

“I know you’re trying so hard to make a decision, Master Bastard. But we don’t want that, so that’s the reason you haven’t been able to make a decision.”

“…”

“We’re the ones who pushed you into a situation where you couldn’t choose, and now we’re jealous. It’s ridiculous, right?”

“No.”

That wasn’t it.

“It is a natural emotion any human would feel.”

If another man were to become close to any of the women in my home, I’d naturally feel jealous as well.

Of course, I wouldn’t express it; I’d just bless them from afar.

Anyway, jealousy was indeed a very human feeling.

I couldn’t ask her to suppress that. That would only torment her from the inside out.

“Keep telling me. So I can understand. That way, maybe I can find my answer.”

“…”

I gave my answer.

When I mentioned that I would eventually choose someone, Findenai’s expression darkened slightly.

However, it shifted back quickly, and she gave a faint smile.

“Anyway, your manner of speaking has reverted to that of Master Bastard, huh?”

The moment I heard her words, I was slightly taken aback. Since Findenai started calling me “Master Bastard” I had somehow become Deus Verdi.

Not missing the opening created by my bewilderment, Findenai immediately lunged at me and knocked me down.

Crash!

I had warned her not to do anything that would strain my artificial body, but another shock followed as soon as I replaced it with a new one.

I tried to speak up, but before I could, Findenai, now on top of me, kissed me.

“Mmph!”

I struggled without realizing it, but she grabbed both of my wrists and slammed them to the floor.

After the brief kiss, Findenai gazed down at me with a sly smile, her white hair falling over her face.

“You told me that I was allowed to act out of jealousy, right?”

“But doing it like this, forcibly…!”

Before I could complete my sentence, Findenai kissed me again.

“Puha, this isn’t bad, you know? I’ve always been on the receiving end whenever we did this up until now, right?”

“You always did—!”

Once again, her forceful tongue silenced me. She seemed intent on stopping me from speaking.

“Gasp. Gasp.”

After a while Findenai separated herself from me.

When she saw me silently stop struggling, she grinned.

“You’re quick to catch on. Had you resisted or tried to say something, I would have kept going.”

Findenai muttered with a chuckle, like a hunter enjoying the thrill of catching a lively beast.

But,

“But I will still do it.”

She kissed me again even though I didn’t resist. I had no idea what was going on.

“You’re the problem. You’re the only one who can make me fall for you again even after you cheated on me.”

“…”

The words “I didn’t mean to” lingered on my tongue. Seemingly pleased with that, FIndenai grinned.

“So, you’re saying that even with mental excitement and not just physical actions, if the mana becomes too intense, the artificial body will break, right?”

“Yea—”

Before I could answer, Findenai sealed my lips once more. I glared at her with my eyes wide, wondering what the hell was going on. But she simply looked down at me with playful crescent-shaped eyes.

She lightly tapped my tongue with her sharp teeth, causing a bit of pain. It felt like punishment.

“Puha.”

I frowned after the longest kiss so far had ended, but she wiggled her hips instead, saying she enjoyed it.

“It’s so exhilarating to feel like I’ve become Master Bastard’s master. You can’t escape or use your mana because the artificial body will break, right?”

I didn’t respond, but for some reason, she kissed me again, as if it were natural.

I had lost count of the number of times it happened. I was struggling to keep up with Findenai’s momentum, and my head was spinning.

No matter what, she was certainly a beast-like woman.

“Heh, are you not going to answer?”

Findenai wiped the hanging saliva from the corner of her mouth off with her shoulder and asked playfully.

No matter what choice I made, it would lead to the same result, so what did this all mean?

“I already broke one artificial body because of the Dark Spiritualist. So until I get the one from Professor Fel tomorrow, this is all I have.”

Thinking that she had put me in a difficult situation, Findenai grinned and spoke again.

“If you get too excited, the artificial body will break. Let’s see if you can hold up.”

Then, she kissed me once again, pulling me in tightly against her so I couldn’t escape.

About an hour later, the Dark Spiritualist, who was punished, and a tired Stella finally came to my rescue.
