Chapter 56 - Ryushen

"Mmm~💕 Big sis, you're so hot… though the friction's making it a little sore… oh! I know, sis! Have you heard of sixty-nine?" 

"..." 

"Big sis!?" 

After who knows how many rounds, Iris finally felt she'd had enough and thought about switching positions, which made her finally pay attention to Rose. 

The problem was that she didn't respond, not even with a moan. 

For a moment, Iris felt a chill, and all the euphoria and excitement came crashing down. 

Past experiences made her panic, and she quickly moved to check her pulse and breathing. 

"Phew... false alarm, she's still alive. Ugh... I really got carried away again..." 

Iris sighed in relief upon confirming that Rose was still in the mortal realm and hadn't checked out of life. 

Setting that aside, Rose's face was a mess, a vivid portrayal of someone experiencing pleasure beyond description. 

Tears, saliva, and vacant eyes that reflected no trace of consciousness or intellect. 

Rose was a mess. 

Iris realized that even as a women, she had let herself get carried away and lost control. 

And Iris hadn't noticed, but it wasn't just right now: Rose had already been like this for at least three rounds since she'd lost her mind, and Iris had kept going. 

Iris hadn't noticed because, even in her state, Rose's body kept reacting to stimuli and even moving unconsciously. 

Although Rose had mentally collapsed, her body kept going. 

 She was a true warrior. 

But for Iris, the important thing was that Rose was still alive and… very hot. 

"Hmm… I think we can continue… oh, I didn't separate, that means there's no opposition. Good… no! Wait, is it okay to continue? Hmm… I don't know if my sister Rose…" 

Iris began talking to herself. 

She wasn't sure how to proceed and was having a small internal debate, though that didn't seem to be enough to cause her to split. 

She assumed that, for that to happen, there would have to be a very pronounced and opposing divergence of thought. 

"Well... I think something decisive would help. Oh, I'm going to flip a coin: if it's tails, I'll continue; if it's heads, I'll wait for her to regain consciousness before continuing." 

Yes, even if the method were different, the result would be the same: continuing to devastate Rose. 

And it seemed like an inevitable fate., but as if the heavens had taken pity on her, Iris heard the system's voice. 

[Another customer detected. New mission received] 

****** 

"Huh? Another customer? What happened to our unspoken rule about not taking on more customers when we're busy with one?" 

[There is no such unspoken rule, user.] 

"Yeah, I guess I made something up on my own based on the patterns so far. Haah~ what a shame, I guess it's the world giving me a sign not to go along with my older sister.... System, clean up." 

[Performing cleaning functions.] 

Well, if I don't have to clean up bodies or fix destroyed things, it's free no matter how big the mess—that's good.

With the system cleaning up, I could focus on my own business. 

I really didn't expect another client to show up while I was still in the middle of something with my sister Rose. 

But I can't neglect any client who brings a mission with them, so I can't waste time. 

I was naked, since at some point the sexy lingerie I was wearing had fallen off, so I went to get my yukata, which I had tossed aside. 

While I was getting dressed, I heard someone walking outside, so I closed my eyes to see who the client was this time.

Oh! Yes! Another beautiful woman, and possibly a MILF. All my theories are basically being confirmed, hehe~

Yes, to my delight, the one who had entered and was approaching the reception desk was a beautiful woman with white hair and golden eyes. 

She didn't have any unusual features, so she seemed to be a human like Azalea. 

I also realized that, even though she wasn't incognito, she was wearing a robe that covered her entire body, so I couldn't get a clear look at her figure.

It looked like what Azalea wore, but with a more Eastern design.

But she isn't fooling me; I already have experience with this and can deduce a few things based on her face. 

And I came to the conclusion that she was a woman at least as sexy as Rose. 

I had no doubts; I can't be wrong about things like this—after all, that's why I'm here; I'm the perfect detector of beautiful MILFs. 

"Alright, I'm clean and dressed. Now to find the path to a happy ending with my beautiful new client, hehe."

I was about to leave the room with very high expectations....I thought there wouldn't be any problem.

Until the system suddenly popped up a warning.

[Warning: The new client has a high existence level. Caution is advised.] 

"Damn it, are you telling me that right now one of those exceptions you just told me about—and said was unlikely to appear—is showing up?" 

The system's warning made me stop in my tracks, and I couldn't help but complain to it. 

Thanks to my sister Rose's arrival, I discovered that anyone who entered the facility would have their strength suppressed to our rank, and they wouldn't even notice unless they tried to fight.

That's why Iris easily suppressed those who were chasing Sister Rose. 

But the system warned me that it wasn't infallible and that, if the existence rank was very high or if they were special entities, they could evade it. 

Worst of all, when Astan asked what 'high existence rank' meant, the system made the true scope of that category clear to him. 

So now he knew that the new client—that woman with white hair and golden eyes—was, without a doubt, one of the apex beings of this world. 

And if he wasn't careful, I could end up in a pulp in an instant without even realizing it. 

This really calls for caution. 

I can't just go ahead and do what I wanted; I had to think, analyze, and understand the scope of the situation. 

First of all, I looked at the mission to see what it was about and...

___________________________

As always, the objective leaves a lot to be desired. It's a bit like Azalea's mission, except this one specifies that I have to meet her expectations. 

I really wish they were just simple expectations: something like what someone would expect when walking into a massage parlor. 

But I know it's not that simple.

It could range from a good, relaxing massage to preventing the downfall of a noble House..

I don't know what that woman expects from us. 

"Haah~ Hey, system, do you happen to know specifically what that woman's expectations are? I guess it's based on what she saw outside, right?" 

[I cannot answer that question.] 

"Yeah, that's what I thought… haah… I wish there was something that…Ah! Wait, there is." 

For a moment, I was about to resign myself to dealing with the woman without any clues, hoping it wouldn't be anything too outlandish.

But then I remembered something: there was probably a tool that could help me. 

Astan, being who he is, always made sure to understand the scope of all the tools and resources under his control. 

And I had already inquired about the function of the rewards obtained before Rose's arrival. 

And from Bianca, I had obtained two sets of cards. 

And thinking of that, a Queen of Spades card with a purple theme appeared in my hand.

It was a 'Revelation Card' that let me discover what a person wanted most at the moment they used it. 

At that moment, since I had already learned how to use these cards, according to the system, to activate it I just had to think of the target person's name and appearance. 

And after doing so, the card seemed to transform into purple smoke, which turned into a small violet cloud in front of me; within it, the words began to appear.

{I want a handsome Ryushen to attend to me.} 

"Huh? Ryus- what? System, do you know what she means?" 

[Confirming: Ryushen. A diverse group comprising multiple lineages and life forms related to reptiles and dragons.] 

"Hmm… but the problem is that neither Iris nor I are one. Ah!, morphogenesis… but I don't know the specific characteristics of any of those races." 

[Correction: the user has knowledge of all species and their anatomies.] 

"Huh? I have it…? Yeah! I've got it now! Damn!, the way this information is directly implanted in my mind is weird."

For a moment I didn't understand the system or what it was referring to, but, as if it had been waiting for the moment I became aware of it, the information came to me. 

And, in fact, there was information on many races there. 

Not just superficial knowledge: also general anatomy and how to apply massages effectively on anatomically diverse races. 

It really was an absurd amount of information. I don't know how I hadn't noticed it before. 

It was too much, and it was starting to overwhelm me, so I decided not to delve too deeply. At that moment, everything stabilized, and only what I needed remained. 

Now I understand… this is like a palace of memory.

I suppose the information imprinted in my mind is hard to manage consciously, so it has created a sort of mental structure that I can access when I need it. 

That way, I can retrieve specific information without getting overwhelmed by the rest. 

I'll explore it calmly later to understand its scope.

Yes… there's a huge source of information right here in my own head. But what matters now is that I already know the anatomy of the species the woman is expecting. 

First of all, I transformed into Astan… and now I had to decide what to transform into. 

There were too many options, and I didn't know which one to choose. There was also nothing to tell me which ones were common and which ones would be a red flag. 

Not to mention that the race itself could influence what that woman considered 'handsome.'

Let's see… this one has scales and a snake's tail, and horns… a Yualong.

Unable to decide logically, I simply went with my intuition and made my choice. 

I began forming small scales on the sides of my face and neck. 

Just like when I made cat ears and a tail for my infiltration disguise, I now created small horns and a reptilian tail. 

Now there was only one thing left: my appearance. 

I was considering changing it. The woman was expecting a handsome man, and I wasn't sure if my appearance as Astan was enough. 

Although… if I thought about it, I do think I'm very handsome. 

But I wonder if it's enough.

No, actually I am very handsome…

Even so, I don't think it's enough to…

No, after all, I am very handsome and manly.

If I think about it, it's just narcissism. I have to be objective.

But on the other hand, I undoubtedly am and—

Sssshhhff. 

"Ugh!... Honey!, of course you're really handsome—it's more than enough." 

"I don't… gulp… wait a second, let me… gulp!." 

And before I knew it, I realized that Iris and I had separated again without meaning to.
