Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 116

116―――――

‘The moonlight is really nice.’

Sion slowly opened his eyes to the sunlight streaming through the curtains.

He was living a considerable part of his life as ‘Sion Claussen,’ but waking up to the sunlight felt more aligned with his true self.

He slightly raised his upper body from the bed and was about to stretch when something jutted out beside him.

A black horn, and scattered silver hair.

Listening closely, he could hear the soft breathing of a woman.

Carefully lifting the blanket, Lilith, fast asleep, came into view.

‘…I hope she didn’t summon anyone last night.’

After the outdoor dinner, Sion had carried her to his room.

He must have been caught up in the moment, but thinking about it now, it was quite a dangerous thing to do.

Lishikida and Lucia were problems, but Trisha was the most concerning.

‘I brought this on myself, so I have to deal with it, but I still need to be careful.’

Saik Trisha.

Even now, she was strong enough to overwhelm most human powerhouses, but if the Celestials appeared on this land, she would become a literal meteor shower, raining fire down on the doves [referring to those who follow the Celestials].

To completely have her in his grasp, he didn’t hesitate to do the dirtiest deeds.

Some might say it was too much, but if he hadn’t been willing to do such things, Sion wouldn’t have saved Jimmy Faker in the first place.

If he was going to start something, he would do it thoroughly, and if he was going to possess something, he would hold it firmly in his hand.

If he was going to live as a villain, it was only natural that he would put himself first.

“Ugh.”

Lilith stirred and slowly opened her eyes.

She seemed to have unconsciously felt Sion’s hand stroking her hair.

Her ruby-like eyes, still hazy with sleep.

Sion had to clutch his heart once again as he watched her smile reflexively upon seeing him.

‘…Ah, please.

Lady Lilith.’

If you keep hitting a man’s heart like that, I’ll want to do it again.

The perceptive little guy [likely referring to his libido] also stretched, following his master, and popped right up.

Sion tried not to show it, slightly raising his knees and opening his mouth.

“Are you awake?”

“…Yeah.

And you?”

“As you can see?”

“…Do it more.”

At the sudden request to do more, a lewd devil took over Sion’s mind.

Do it more, from the morning?

Hmm.

Doing it in such a sleepy state would be a bit…

“What are you talking about?

I meant stroke my hair.”

“Oh, yes?”

“It’s all written on your face.

You idiot.

Even though I’m a succubus, I don’t usually do this right after waking up.”

Lilith giggled and ordered him to stroke her hair quickly.

Thanks to that, Sion, whose inner thoughts were completely exposed, clicked his tongue and gently began to stroke her silver waterfall-like hair once more.

Lilith, who had been lying there with a blissful smile on her face, opened her mouth after a while.

“What are you planning to do now?

You got the Saintess in your hands, just like you wanted.”

“You noticed?”

“When you were talking about the Saintess, your eyes were strange.

It was like you were looking at another woman.”

“I haven’t looked at another woman.”

“Really?

Put your hand on your chest and tell me.

Does your conscience not prick you at all?”

“Nope.”

He had already given his conscience to a dog and thrown it away a long time ago.

There was nothing good about keeping it, and he only suffered.

“You’re really trash.”

“Hearing that from a demon makes me feel proud.

I must have lived my life well.”

After finishing his reply, Sion got up from his seat.

A month had passed since he started working to get Trisha, so it was about time for news to arrive from either the royal palace or the Hiness Merchant Guild.

It was almost late enough that he was starting to think he should go up to the royal palace himself.

‘Less than a year left now, huh.’

The Sanctuary was located in the Holy Prussen Kingdom, beyond Nudia, not here in Hispania.

The Celestials’ reappearance began right there, spreading the flames of purification across the world like a wildfire in autumn.

The Holy Prussen Kingdom couldn’t even resist and was purified, and Nudia, whose leadership had been seized by radical fairies, collapsed immediately.

Hispania, located at the far end, was in a decent position to resist, but the Celestials reached out to Princess Vanessa as a preliminary maneuver, and she eventually took their hand out of lingering feelings for Kim Yu-hyun, resulting in the complete destruction of the royal family.

‘Honestly, the destruction of the royal family is a problem, but the Great Continental War a few months before that is the real issue.’

The Holy War led by the Holy Prussen Kingdom and supported by Nudia and Hispania.

In reality, it was a senseless demon purge in which fools and idiots were manipulated by radical fairies.

After nearly exterminating the demons, they suddenly turned their swords against other races, so there was no end to blood and tears on the continent.

Hispania, which had a larger population of other races, suffered more from the ravages of war than any other place.

As a result, the named figures were swept away, and the Celestials in the Sanctuary were giggling, looking forward to the world that would soon be reduced to ashes by them.

‘How much did the world revere them?

Repaying kindness with artillery?

You bastards.’

Sion’s plan was simple.

Since his influence was limited to Hispania, he couldn’t completely stop the Celestials’ reappearance.

But on the other hand, he could control Hispania to some extent, so he could stop the Holy War to exterminate the demons and the swords aimed at other races.

The Holy Prussen Kingdom and the Nudia Kingdom.

He would abandon both.

Worrying about them would likely lead to everything collapsing and failing.

Instead, he would preserve the forces in Hispania as much as possible and stand against those dove bastards.

If possible, he would secretly accept demons, and wait until everyone in the world shouted, ‘Celestial bastards! We were deceived!’ and then drive them out with the reversed public opinion behind him.

And in the end, he would make Kim Yu-hyun the hero and step back.

‘That way, Kim Yu-hyun gets all the praise, the blame, the envy, and the jealousy.’

Sion planned to protect himself as much as possible until the end.

Of course, he intended to take some sweet glory.

‘First, stabilize the northern barbarians and secure those two named figures.

The woman Kim Yu-hyun loved most before Lucia, the Daughter of Winter.

And…’

Khan.

The Succubus Queen, and the true powerhouse who roughly drove Kim Yu-hyun along with White Death.

He was also thinking of having her as an ally if possible.

‘But I can’t think of a way.

Trisha was corrupted and forcibly twisted, and then I squeezed into that gap.’

Khan wasn’t infected with chuunibyou [a Japanese term for someone who acts like they have special powers or knowledge] like Trisha, but rather one of the leaders leading the northern barbarians and a character already completed in herself.

She was not someone who would be swayed by clumsy words.

“Why are you standing there blankly?”

“…Just thinking.

I should wash up first.

Lady Lilith, you can lie down more.”

“Huh?

No, no.

I want to wash up too.

Let’s wash together!”

“Yes?”

“Let’s wash together.

Like you said, whether we’re lovers or a couple, we can do that much together now, right?”

Lilith got up and looked at Sion.

Sion groaned and wondered if he could endure it.

Even now, her white, moon-like breasts, with their pink nipples that he wanted to swallow, were beautifully swaying, so if he went into the shower with her, would his reason remain intact?

“Let’s go for now?”

Yes, let’s endure.

I ate a lot yesterday, so I won’t be hungry from the morning.

That’s what Sion thought.

He had endured well while facing Lilith until now, so wouldn’t he be able to endure showering together too?

But a moment later.

“Ahng! Hng!”

Slurp, slurp!

“Heeung! Th-there, that’s good.

Ahng! Do it, do it harder!”

Sion ended up burying his face between Lilith’s legs and diligently tasting her flesh as if enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning.

The woman, who had initially resisted, eventually slightly parted her legs and allowed the man, so Sion was even more fiercely licking Lilith’s secret place with his tongue.

“Haa! Hic!

…S-Sion.

Do you really like me?”

“…”

“I-I’m a demon.

Ahng!

E-even so, if you like me.

Heeung!

I-I’ll like you more too.

So…

Ahk!”

Lilith desperately grabbed Sion’s body as the man suddenly pushed in.

The man gently stroked the woman’s back and opened his mouth.

“You don’t need to get permission for everything, my Queen.

Like me as much as you want.

I’ll like our Queen as much as I want too.”

“Heeung!

You, you gave me permission?

N-no changing your mind later?

Hak!

Haa!”

As a sign that he meant to do as she pleased, Sion stirred the man he had buried in the woman’s flesh even more fiercely.

Each time, the woman in his arms cried out and clung to him, which was so beautiful.

“Lady Lilith, don’t you get tired of me and run away later either.”

“Hak! Hak!

You, you idiot.

Anyway… because of that contract, Ahng!

Th-there’s no way that’ll happen!

Ah!

Ahng!”

As another moment of climax came, Lilith cried out desperately and clung to him.

Hugging her tightly, the man scattered the rising sensation into the woman’s body.

“Aaa…!

Aaaaa…!”

The woman’s sigh of satisfaction filled the room before gradually disappearing.

―

“I will conclude the report here.”

The Lion Knight Commander submitted the report on the ‘Griffin Rider Training Plan’ that had been in progress for a month.

It sounded grand, but there was nothing particularly special about it.

Over the course of a month, they had filtered out the applicants and were building trust so that they could communicate with the griffins who were still growing.

Of course, the report wouldn’t be written so simply, but from their perspective, who had to tame the griffins, every day would have been a difficult and challenging one.

“How are the trainees?”

“The griffins are quite fierce and scary, so they’re having a bit of a hard time.

But everyone is doing their best, as the Duke specifically said, because they are ‘crazy people who want to fly in the sky,’ so they are enduring and enduring to achieve that one desire.”

“That’s good.”

To put a person on a flying monster, that person must first become accustomed to the sky.

And in terms of getting used to it, someone who enjoys it is more advantageous than someone who endures it.

The reason for the failure of insisting on knights or soldiers on monsters lies there.

They are different beings from riding horses.

You must not be afraid of the sky, but rather be crazy about it.

Only then could they become the ‘effective force’ that Sion truly wanted.

“Always give them the best treatment, but don’t let them forget that they belong to Claussen, Knight Commander.

Don’t forget to warn them that if they forget who the real owner of the griffin is and act rashly, they will be sent out immediately.”

“Is there any doubt?

Both the monster and the rider belong to Claussen.”

After finishing the report, the Lion Knight Commander left Sion’s private office.

Little by little, the duties of the territory were now being passed on to Sion.

As he had been formally appointed as the successor, it was a natural thing to do.

“You can come in now.”

At Sion’s words, a little boy ran in and looked at Sion with sparkling eyes.

His half-brother, Aden Claussen, was very excited that his brother, who had hated him so much until recently, was now playing with him, and even more excited that his brother was a hero.

“Brother! Brother!”

“Yes, yes.

What should I play with you today?

Ah, please, when we play ball, the mana…”

“There’s a sister outside the door.

A sister who looks like she’s burning.”

At the words ‘looks like she’s burning,’ Sion immediately recognized who the person was.

The professional arsonist, Saik Trisha.

It seemed she had been watching Sion’s room all along.

‘Is she perhaps monitoring me to see if I’m with another woman?’

It seemed like he had gained another unwanted bodyguard.

To be exact, it was closer to a stalker.

“Trisha.”

As Sion spoke, he could sense a presence beyond the door.

“Why don’t you come in and have a cup of tea?”

If it were Lishikida or Ria, they would have run away in embarrassment or for some other reason.

But the woman standing outside the door was different.

As if understanding, the woman immediately opened the door and sat on the sofa, her red and yellow hair fluttering like flames.

“Wow.

It’s really like a flame.”

As Aden muttered in amazement, Trisha stared at the boy with a rather sharp look.

Sion clicked his tongue and warned him as Aden was surprised and closed his mouth.

“He’s just a kid who doesn’t know anything.

Don’t bother him.”

“…Okay.”

Fortunately, she would at least listen to Sion’s words.

Sion decided to send Aden out of the room because it seemed like there would be an important conversation.

With the promise to reschedule the playtime for later.

As Aden ran out of Sion’s room, only the two men and women were left in the room.

Trisha stared silently at Sion, who was sitting at his desk reviewing the report, and then opened her mouth.

“Tell me.”

“What?”

“How can I make you mine alone?”

“You have a rough idea, right?

Although it was short, the Saintess’s power was activated, so you know what that means, right?”

“…Are you going to fight the Celestials?”

“I’m going to stop the Celestials.”

Some might ask what the difference is, but from Sion’s point of view, it was clearly different.

The former could simply be seen as a demon worshiper, while the latter could be interpreted as saying that the Celestials were plotting something strange.

“Don’t worry.

I don’t know much about the Celestials.

I didn’t have parents to tell me those old fairy tales.”

“…”

A self-inflicted insult to her parents.

This was a bit unexpected.

“What’s important to me is now.

You, me, and the world we live in now.

I don’t need the rest.

I’m going to tear apart all those who try to touch it.”

“Everything else is fine, but it’s difficult for me if you show hostility to my people.”

“…Why?”

“Because they’re my people.”

“I’m yours too, right?”

“That’s why I’m telling you not to fight even more.

Because I don’t want to hate you.”

It was a way of offering both a carrot and a stick at the same time.

If you stay still, I’ll take care of you even if you don’t like it.

Trisha snorted at Sion’s words.

Of course, there was a clear sign of conflict in her orange eyes.

“Really.

If you stay still and follow my words well, there will be rewards in between.”

“…Rewards like?”

“Proof that you’re my woman?”

At 18, she knew everything.

Trisha, who realized what Sion meant by that proof, coughed.

“Hmph, nonsense.”

“If you don’t like it, forget it.”

“I didn’t say I didn’t like it.”

The answer came out quickly again.

Sion smiled at Trisha’s reaction and beckoned her with his hand.

Of course, Trisha said she didn’t like it and sat still in her seat.

“If you don’t come, I might call Lishikida and have her sit in front of me.”

Thump!

Trisha reacted immediately to the story of Lishikida.
