Editing Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha:Volume 12 Chapter 2 (section)

==8==

So then—Celis Reinhardt went to bathe with Hasegawa Chisato.
Due to the excitement of seeing Basara and the girls’ intense sex, it wasn’t just her crotch that’s soaked but her whole body was covered in sweat.
Since Hasegwa witnessed the same thing, she was in a similar state. They started by going to the washing area together.
As Celis doesn’t have the master-servant vow with Basara, she generally uses the upstairs bathroom. She has been here, invited by Mio and the others on days Basara wasn’t around.
But,
…No matter how she sees it, it’s bigger than the scale of a bathroom of a private residence.
Looking around the bathroom once more, she thought again that it’s amazing.
This giant bathroom is lavished with Maria’s tastes.
The main attraction is of course, the giant jacuzzi prided by the seven who live here. There’s a giant television on the wall, and there are two faucets in the washing area. It’s also equipped with two showers.
With its wide floor space, it has plenty of space befitting a luxurious bathroom, it wouldn’t even be crowded with the entire Toujou household in it.
“——“
Following Hasegawa’s lead, Celis sat down to wash up at the washing area, starting first with running the shower water over her whole body. And then, as if imitating Hasegawa, she reaches for the bottles lined on the wall, pumping out several times from the one on the right most side. Then on the bath sponge, creamy white body soap falls out, foaming up slowly.
As Celis washed herself with the foam, she glanced at the woman next to her.
—Hasegawa was again, washing her beautiful body with the foaming soap.
Everytime the sponge moved back and forth along her lewd curves, going from her chest to her waist, and back to hips, Hasegawa’s body was becoming sexier with the pure white foam on her.
“…”
Celis couldn’t help but be mesmerized.
“You look so enthusiastic… Is a person bathing so strange?”
Hasegawa, catching her gaze, said with a smile.
“I- I apologize… It’s just the first time we’ve bathed, just the two of us, so I did that without thinking”
“Ah, that’s true… We mostly use this bath, but you don’t come to the basement much, just when we invite you when Basara isn’t around”
“Yes…”
That being said, it’s rare for Basara not to be home, so until this point, Celis had only used this bath four times. In addition, she’s only bathed with Hasegawa twice.
Since the other girls were there too, she didn’t look at just Hasegawa.
No, she could see—but regardless, she hesitated.
…After all.
With her being essentially a high-ranking god, Celis isn’t someone who can speak well.
Of course, Hasegawa is a former Togami, and she is now and forever, Basara’s subordinate who supports him.
With that said, she’s the same as Mio and the other girls. Therefore, from Hasegawa herself and the others as well, she was told there’s no need for extra formality.
…Even so.
In this current moment, Hasegawa’s presence became so overwhelming.
“However, it’s been almost a month and a half since we started living together… I would be happy if you get used to it soon”
“I, I apologize—no, I mean, I’m sorry”
Hasegawa smiled wryly in response to the frantic apology.
“I’m kidding… That serious side is your charm point. It’s fine for you to slowly take your time to get comfortable around me”
“…”
Celis fell into silence, thinking about the words just said to her.
“…What’s wrong? Are you nervous about tonight?”
Hasegawa asked her quietly,
“—No, I’ve made my decision about that”
Thus, while shaking her head Celis said,
“The master servant contract with Basara—I’ve thought well and decided”
Yes. With the full moon, tonight, Celis will be tying the master servant contract with Basara.
──The purpose is to be prepared in case something happens in the future.
They have dealt with the problems in the Demon realm, as well as with Shiba—but the state of affairs for Basara’s group remained unclear. Within both the current demon lord faction and the moderate faction of the demon realm, many still view them as dangerous, there are those on the opposite side who want to make use of them, considering there are other factions of the demon realm too. On the heroes’ side, it’s doubtful that the village or the Vatican would do something excessive now, but that isn’t the same for the other districts of the Hero clan.
—The Vatican under the leadership of Albareos had many dark sides to it.
It’s hard to be able to say that the other districts aren’t the same.
As such—for this one in a million chance, in order to mutually understand each other’s position, Celis suggested the master-servant contract with Basara.
She only told Basara and the group last night, but her resolve had been made for close to a month now.
She’s determined in it.
Thus—Basara’s group had accepted her resolve.
Therefore, she’s committed to it
“I see… in that case that’s good.”
“…Yes. I apologize for causing you worries.”
Having washed her body, Celis said that while letting the water from the washing basin flow down her shoulders to get rid of the soap.
—From a combat perspective, Celis as of right now, would hold Basara and the others back in battle.
Therefore, other than being able to determine positions, she plans to increase her battle strength through the contract.
It’s not that Celis is weak. She could handle most opponents just fine.
…However.
Even so, Celis couldn’t do much in the battle against Shiba.
She was just barely able to help Yuki hold up the barrier.
Of course, there aren’t many others with the kind of monstrous strength Shiba had. Other than that, there are few who could match up against someone like him outside of Basara’s group.
Precisely because of that—if there’s an enemy that could harm Basara and the others, they could be even more dangerous than Shiba.
…Not only that.
Mio and the other girls are currently pregnant. Even though they’re protected by Hasegawa’s divine power, surely they would like to avoid battle as much as possible. Even more so, they would like to avoid fighting a strong opponent.
As such—Celis right now can’t be of use to them.
Therefore she can’t balk at getting the needed power from the master-servant contract.
…That being said.
Celis doesn’t have to tie the master-servant contract with Basara through the power of succubus like Mio and the other girls.
They plan to use Celis’ own magic for the incantation.
To change her inability to be of use right now.
Therefore she felt what should rule over her should be based on her own abilities.
Tonight…With this, I’m going to be of use too.
She’s going to be of use to the Toujou household—she clenched her fist tightly, thinking about that.
The door of the bathroom opened, and someone entered.
With that, Celis turned to look towards the door.
“——“
“——“
When their eyes met—she stiffened.
—The one who entered was Basara.
Most likely he finished having sex with Kurumi. Thus, he let Kurumi and Mio rest from the intense sex on the bed and went to the bathroom to wash off his sweat.
Somehow, she didn’t think of this possibility.
“——“
Instinctively, she covered her breasts with her hands.
“—Sorry, I”
Focused on his sex with Mio and Kurumi, forgetting Celis was in this bathroom, he probably didn’t even know she was in this basement.
With his face red, he started to hurry out of the bathroom.
Hence, frantically,
“T, there’s no need for you to leave Basara. I’m just about to leave”
“No, but still…”
At the flustered Basara,
“Please don’t worry at all. So then please excuse me”
Instantly, Celis bowed to Hasegawa and left the bathroom to escape.
She then closed the bathroom door as she left.
“…”
Basara saw her naked. And not only that, but she also saw his naked body up close too.
In the changing room, Celis’ face turned red responding to that truth.
…Ah… But—
In this unlikely situation, Celis wasn’t the only one who was surprised but Basara as well.
Basara had most likely bathed with Hasegawa many times. He’s surely used to her naked body.
But—just now Basara was undeniably shocked and flustered as well.
She wondered why.
“…Is it because of me?”
All the girls of the Toujou household are attractive. And then with how they submit to Basara through arousal, becoming sex slaves through the master-servant vow, they’re extremely sexy, and as a woman Celis can’t match up to them in terms of sex appeal. Nevertheless, Basara was flustered by the naked Celis.
Therefore,
“…”
Celis felt a little bit happy.
Even though there are girls as attractive as Mio and the others around him. Among them is even Hasegawa, a former Togami.
Despite all that—Basara still saw her as an attractive woman.
In her dreams she’s wanted by Basara… for that to possibly be the truth. As Celis continued thinking about that, her mind was filled with Basara.
…I’m, this…
The beating of Celis’ heart wouldn’t stop. She wondered if it was the same for Basara on the other side of the door.
While continuing to think about that, she wrapped her bath towel around her body—and it was at that time,
“Mm ♥… haah, Basara… Basara… haaaaah ♥”
Hasegawa’s sweet moans could be heard coming from the bathroom.
“——?!”
Suddenly, Celis gulped down, without thinking, she turned back frantically—but the door behind her was closed.
She couldn’t see past the tinted glass door. But it’s obvious what was happening beyond it.
Hasegawa’s sexiness would invoke a different feeling in comparison to Celis who is also a woman.
No matter how used to it he is, there’s no way that Basara, as a man, could hold back.
Furthermore—Basara and Hasegawa have the master-servant vow.
With that said, If her master Basara was turned on, Hasegawa would fall into a lustful state answering to her master’s desire for her. It’s clear as day what would happen if Basara and Hasegawa were naked in a bathroom together.
On the first night she moved in, having received baptism from Maria, Celis did lewd acts with Basara—it was something seen by Mio and the other girls. Thus Celis wasn’t the only one who felt shame from it, Mio and the other girls, seeing Basara’s dominating figure too shared in that with Celis.
Hasegawa was included in that—So Celis, had seen her and Basara’s lewd sex.
…But.
Since she was in a state of sweet post-climax, she could just barely remember it. However, it’s different now—even though she’s turned on, she’s fully conscious.
“…”
Thinking about Hasegawa’s lewd figure behind the tinted glass, caused a feeling of excitement to rise within Celis. She was surprised when she heard that Hasegawa was a former togami, but she was even more so when she found out Basara was able to tie a master-servant vow with Hasegawa and make her his sex slave.
…Is it really, beyond that…?
Without thinking, she audibly gulped down. Earlier, when Celis saw Basara with Kurumi and Mio having sex, Celis couldn’t control herself and her crotch became all wet.
What would happen to her if she sees Hasegawa with Basara now?
Celis was able to get close to Maria and Zest who are demons since they kept helping her from her lewd self. So, if she sees Hasegawa, a former togami, as just a woman—as just a lewd sex slave. She wondered if she could feel closer to Hasegawa.
Taking a deep breath, Celis turned to go back into the bathroom.
And then, just as she touched the glass door,
“…”
She started thinking about just how corrupt her act is.
“Oh my, are you stopping?”
Suddenly, in her ears, was the sweet voice of a demon.
“——?!”
Surprised, Celis yelped
“Oops… That’s no good, that would be too loud”
Right before she could let out her voice, a small palm covered her lips.
Looking towards the source, she could see a seductively smiling Maria—
As she took her hand off Celis,
“W, Why…?”
She spat out, still unable to suppress her surprise.
“As I finished my conversation with Zest, I decided to bring you a change of panties, Celis-san. Since you even took a bath, I didn’t think you would want to wear the old stained pair.”
“Y-you realized?”
“Of course I did, please don’t underestimate me as a succubus. Well, here you go.”
“…”
Celis took the new pair of panties with a red face.
“But, for someone as serious as you to be peeping… but it’s not like I don’t understand your feelings. When I first saw Basara-san and Chisato-san go at it, I was really turned on.”
“T-that’s…”
“My, my there’s no need to be embarrassed… if you wish to do that, I will help you.”
Maria laughed at Celis befuddlement. Reaching for the lightswitch on the wall, she lifted the cover up revealing another switch. After flicking that switch up—the tinted glass of the door became transparent.
“——?”
When the inside of the bathroom became visible, the sight of Hasegawa with her hands on the wall as Basara thrusted his hardness into her from behind, jumped into Celis’ field of view.
She also realized that if the glass became transparent, they could see her too.
“Maria…”
Maria stopped Celis from completing her sentence.
“Don’t worry, this is a magic mirror mode for peeping. They can’t see us from there.”
“T-to have something like that…”
Maria grinned at the way Celis slightly trembled,
“More importantly, come look over here.”
Responding to Maria’s urging, Celis turned to see the same thing as Maria.
“Mm… aaah… haah ♥ Aaah… Basara… haaah ♥ Mm, Aah, haaah, basaraaaaa… aaaaah ♥”
With each thrust of Basara’s hips, Hasegawa’s large breasts lewdly bounced, and her sexy ass shook. On her face was the look of a woman completely intoxicated in sensuality and pleasure.
Celis found herself completely unable to take her eyes off the lewd sight of the way Hasegawa was being done.
“Fufu, aren’t you surprised… That woman who’s getting completely wrecked as she’s having sex was once a togami, high ranked among the godly beings.”
Celis was unable to say anything in response to Maria’s seductive whisper.
It’s because it was exactly as Maria said.
Hasegawa as she’s having sex with Basara had succumbed to a corruption so obscene—and on top of it so very sensual.
Celis couldn’t take her eyes off of Hasegawa who’s trapped in a cage of pleasure from Basara.
“What do you think… Doesn’t she look happy?”
Maria whispered sweetly,
“If you wish for it, Celis-san, that could be you as well”
The meaning of those words were clear.
That’s why Celis, didn’t take it as a joke,
“…You mean, for me to become Basara’s sex slave…?”
She meant to sound resolute against the idea with her tone of voice, but regardless, her voice trembled.
Her body heated up to its core as her eyes glazed over.
“Please, I don’t mean to be rude. We’re all really thankful that you want to tie the master-servant contract with Basara-san for our sake.
As Maria said that, she then flicked the switch one more time to turn off the magic mirror.
Thus, the door went back to being glazed and they no longer could hear Hasegawa’s moans as loudly as before.
Most likely, it switched to a mode that ensures privacy first.
“But at its core, the master-servant contract is one that puts one’s life in harm’s way. You’ll be able to grasp the positions of each other, and if the bond between master and servant deepens, you’ll have increased power on the battlefield… Because of that advantage, it’s not to say that it is without risk.”
As such.
“If, at this time you tie the contract with Basara-san with your power… The risk of damage through the curse, if it activates, will be high”
Celis is a holy knight who can wield all four elements, with her holy sword Georgius.
Continuing on, with Georgius being originally a “farmer” saint—the sword that holds his name chose Celis due to her high affinity for earth magic. As such, the curse that would activate would be an earth type curse.
It’s most likely petrification.
But,
“I should be able to manage such a risk”
First of all, the curse of the master-servant contract is caused by feelings of betrayal towards one’s master, and the more severe that feeling is, the more severe the effect of the curse.
However, it’s unlikely Celis would harbor such a strong feeling of betrayal towards Basara, to the extent it would place her life in danger. Even if it activated to a strong degree, the fear of death should increase her loyalty to Basara. In the first place—the master-servant contract is loyalty to the level of fear of death. Surely that’s the original point of it.
And then for a light curse, you’d surely be able to stop the petrification by controlling yourself.
At that point Basara could get Celis to submit, and there’s Hasegawa too. Hasegawa, with the power of togami returned to her, could surely resolve a master-servant curse easily.
Of course, it is not to say that there is no risk at all.
But when she said she wanted to tie the master-servant contract with Basara using her own power, Basara had given her his consent. Most likely Basara was thinking that if a new opponent appears and Celis is taken hostage—then he would be able to locate where she is. He didn’t suggest after to make the master-servant contract via the succubus curse as with everyone else.
In the first place, Basara tied the master servant contract using succubus magic with Mio by virtue of an inadequate explanation from Maria. Yuki wanted to have the same standing and relationship with Basara as Mio. Zest was due to an emergency situation through Sheila’s suggestion, as there was no other choice. For Hasegawa, it was in order for the contract ceremony to succeed giving Basara greater power—and of course her desire to be like Mio and the other girls. Kurumi, who managed to go from contract to vow in one go, did it in order to be like her sister Yuki, as well as the other girls.
To reach it with the succubus Maria, it was her own preference to do the same.
Until this point, Basara made contracts with the succubus magic, he acknowledged that and there are reasons behind that. So of course, without reason, he wouldn’t tell Celis to tie the contract with the same magic as Maria, like what happened with everyone else.
If he said that—it would be like forcing Celis into a sexual relationship with him when she might not want that.
Other than Maria, the power with the lowest risk would be Celis’.
Basara with his Banishing Shift, Mio’s power that she inherited from Wilbert, and Hasegawa’s own great togami power are obviously out of the question. Using Kurumi’s power means connecting it to her spirit power, and they would like to avoid it. It’s the same with Yuki’s power that is tied to Sakuya. Zest’s power is earth, the same with Celis, but since they’re the same then Celis’ would be better to use. She has more affinity to her own power after all, not to mention it would be easier to deal with.
“Well… For a succubus like you, me tying the contract with Basara through your power would be fun for you”
“I won’t deny that… But that’s not the main reason for it.”
Maria’s reply to Celis began with an “after all”.
“As I said earlier, the master-servant contract is a magic that puts your life at risk. Of course, there’s no problem with the bond between a superior and a subordinate but… When it comes to tying two feelings, if one doesn’t consider the way it’ll make both happiest as much as possible, it’ll just invite unhappiness. The contract can’t hold to superficial feelings, but it has to hold true to your real feelings, after all the curse could activate because of jealousy.”
As such.
“Celis-san, if you truly wish to tie the master-servant contract with Basara-san using your own power it’s not a problem. Basara-san too has objections to tying the master-servant contract in the way you wish it. But if that’s not the case… if you’re not being honest with your feelings, you shouldn’t be scared and be honest about those feelings.”
After all.
“If you’re unhappy Basara-san would be sad as well… And that in turn will make all of us sad. On the other hand, if you’re happy so would Basara-san. That’s how a family acts.”
With that, Maria said,
“I want to be your family, Celis-san”
“……..”
Celis replied to Maria’s words with a deep silence.
And then, Maria gave her a soft smile,
“Of course, I’m not trying to force you. Our relationship with Basara-san is a way of living all of us have chosen as best for us. To get to our current relationship, it took us time. In that time, we’ve had a very sexual relationship with Basara-san. Celis-san, since you don’t have the same experience as us, I’m not trying to force that life on you.
However,
“If you wish to be as strong as us, Celis-san, you should use my magic. Up until this point, there haven’t been many that have reached the master-servant vow… That’s why it’s legendary.”
And the reason for that,
“It is likely because there’s a limit to how much loyalty one can get from a master-servant contract based on the danger of death. Our master-servant contracts were formed using love.”
Maria continued,
“There’s still time until tonight. Please face your feelings a little more. After you do that, no matter the conclusion you reach, we will accept it. But, with it being a master-servant contract, it’s inevitable that your relationship with Basara will change.”
With no regrets, Maria left those words with her and entered the bathroom.
—As she opened the door, Celis caught a glimpse of something.
It was the lewd silhouette of the blissful Hasegawa, moaning sweetly as she’s held happily by Basara.
It was an expression of happiness allowed only to those honest to their own feelings.
However, the door quickly closed and silence was all that remained in the changing room.
“——“
Celis Reinhardt simply stood still.
—She didn’t truly understand what was happening in that bathroom.
Without having a sexual relationship with Basara, it isn’t something she needs to really know.
Therefore,
“…I understand”
With a soft whisper, Celis went to the towel rack, took a towel, and wrapped it around her body.
What kind of expression was she making in the mirror—in the end, she did this without looking in the mirror.
