The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 274: Aphrodisiac Poison
POV: Kirigaya Kaizo

"This, it should be fine now."
"Mmm, um..."
Kaizo holds Eve in his arms and takes her to a location some distance from the abandoned city center. This seems to be the ruins of a large temple, where its ceiling is supported by stone pillars on the verge of collapse.
Assigning Aimorphy to stand guard outside, they stepped into the place, only to see a spring in the depths of the temple used for the purification of the gods. Although the spring itself had long since dried up, a large amount of rainwater had accumulated.

"The spirit of water, pure and clear, repels this filth."
Sprucing up a spirit language spell and throwing a spirit crystal «Purity» caused the water to bubble instantly and become clear. Kaizo lays Eve into the pool with her uniform.
"Sorry, Kaizo..."
Turning his face red, Kaizo coughed softly, "Don't force yourself to speak. Save your stamina."
The soaking wet uniform clung tightly to Eve's pliable body, a very tempting sight.
Although Kaizo understood that now was not the time to turn his attention to those things, he could not stop his gaze from being drawn into the black underwear seen under the soaking wet uniform.
"Ha-only this is what we can do for now as a treatment. Do you feel better?"
(Again, using holy water for bathing is just emergency first aid. If only Tiana who was an expert in healing was here.)
But for a person like Kaizo who was not an expert in spirit magic, this was all he could do.
"Mmm, hmm, don't worry. Uh, ow..." Eve gasps in pain.
Although the Spirit Contractor had better poison resistance than ordinary people due to their advanced circulatory system, unfortunately, the demon tree spirit poison was too powerful.
"Ooh, Kaizo..." Despite her irregular breathing, Eve continued to call out Kaizo's name in a hoarse voice.
To ease her pain, the front of her uniform had been opened. Kaizo's gaze was naturally fixed on the bumpy cleavage.
(I-I can't let myself look at her!)
As if trying to dispel evil thoughts, Kaizo shook her head and asked, "Your body, does it hurt?"
"Ah, yes."
Eve's body spun in a pool that resembled a bathtub. Biting hard on his sparkling lips, he looked at Kaizo. Then restlessly with his fingers, he said, "U-uh, I hope you won't laugh, but..."
"Hmm?"
"Hands, can we hold hands?"
"Ah sure. I get it." Kaizo immediately agreed and used both of his hands to hold Eve's hand lightly.
"Dad!" In the middle of the process, Eve let out a funny scream.
"Sorry! Am I too sudden?"
"No-no, I should apologize instead. It's just, I'm not used to, holding a boy's hand."
The skin on her hands was as smooth and soft as the skin of the noble ladies. However, due to the constant martial practice, there were a few calluses on his palm.
"Ah, hiks hyks, a-I can't believe I've done anything shameless." Eve's face was as red as a cooked octopus.
Suddenly, Eve looked up to face Kaizo and asked, "N-By the way, Kaizo?"
"Yes?"
"That Elfim girl, is she your partner in the past?"
The fingers holding the hand slightly stiffened.
"No, if you don't answer, I won't force you to talk."
"Oh no, that's not why. It's just, how I say it, describing him as a colleague is a little wrong."
"Not a partner?" Eve frowned.
"Mu-maybe he, your lover!?"
"What kind of logic is that!?" Kaizo objected loudly.
"Hmm, not your lover, so, so good." Eve breathed a sigh of relief. This movement of his caused his large chest to tremble, too conspicuous.
(Or rather, quite possibly, no child raised in that crazy facility ever understood the concept of "colleagues". However, now.).
Kaizo involuntarily tightened his grip on his hand.
(I have a partner I want to protect!)
This was a power he never had as «The Strongest Sword Style Holder», Rei Assar.
Right now, Kaizo suddenly noticed it. Eve's hand in her grip felt quite hot. Her brown eyes that were normally bright and lively at the moment looked somewhat unfocused.
"Eve, do you have a fever?" Kaizo asked worriedly.
It was no wonder that the demon tree spirit poison included fever symptoms. But in that case, although a bath is necessary to neutralize the poison, as a result the symptoms get worse.
"You want to get out first?"
"No, don't worry, ah!" Eve let out a funny scream as her hand was released.
"E-Eve, what's wrong?"
"Mmm, ah, huh, mmm..." Eve gasped for breath as her wet arms and legs twisted in pain.
"H-hey, come on..." Kaizo grabbed his shoulder in worry.
"Mmm, huh!"
Immediately, Eve's body shook violently.
"Ah, haa, huh..." He blushed into his ears and his breathing was completely messy. Wrapped in a wet skirt, her legs rubbed against each other timidly.
Seeming as if her breathing had subsided, Eve finally spoke up, "Mmm, ooh, Kaizo..."
"Eve, what happened!?"
"E-whatever why, Tu-my body, suddenly feels hot, huah..."
"Could it be that the poison that was working more slowly is now coming into effect!?"
"Hmm, ka-if you think about it..." Eve gasped for pain as she tried to compose the words.
"The girls of Elfim, he said, the spirit of the devil tree, ooh, Among the poison he made, huah. Uh, there's also that kind of effect..."
"Such effects?" Repeating his words, Kaizo found Eve lowering her gaze timidly.
"Pa-basically, an, A-aphrodisiac."
"Aphrodisiac!?" Kaizo's voice was turned upside down.
What is known as an aphrodisiac is a drug that causes people to act with lust.
"Huh, mmm, help me, Kaizo." Hugging her chest tightly, Eve pleaded while rubbing both her legs. Perhaps because he was suffering, his begging eyes were wet with tears.
"Ba-even if you say that..." Kaizo held his breath.
(What should I do?!)
"Let it be stable, ooh, after this hot flash has passed..." A sweet breath came out from her sparkling lips. The ferocious knight girl's enchanted eyes exuded a dangerous aura of attraction.
(I-this is definitely not a good situation!) Kaizo shook his head firmly in his mind.
If he did such a thing to the Veilmist family's precious daughter, the death penalty awaited him without being able to escape.
"Haa, huh, mmm, ahuu..."
Hearing Eve's sick breath, Kaizo braced herself and nodded, "I-I understand!"
After all, he was suffering and he couldn't ignore it. Still in uniform, Kaizo enters the pool and hugs Eve.
"W-is this better?"
"Mmmm..." Eve nodded.
Her sweet breath blows in Kaizo's ear. His soft chest pressed him through the soaked uniform, adjusting its shape to an incredible suppleness.
