I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

Chapter 138: The Academy Break Is Too Busy (2)

I definitely took Elfrida to the dormitory and fell asleep in my room…

“….”

When I opened my eyes, I was in a space that was neither unfamiliar nor familiar.

“Bam-papa-bam~!”

A voice I hadn’t heard in a long time came from behind me.

No, it had indeed been quite some time.

The last time I saw Goddess Elise was before the conquest of Laplace.

Then I realized how absurd the situation of meeting a goddess after a ‘long time’ truly was.

Among Elise’s followers, there were countless people whose wish was simply to hear her voice once in their lifetime.

Tap- Tap-

“Sir Ian?”

I must have been lost in deep thought because Elise tapped my back as if to wake me up.

“I’m sorry.”

Thump─! Thump─!

My heart pounded fiercely as I looked at Elise’s face.

No matter how many times I saw her, I never got used to her appearance.

Of course, my women each had their own outstanding charms, but…

Was it the difference between humans and gods? Elise was something special.

She seemed like an embodiment of beauty and allure mixed perfectly together.

“It’s been a while, Lady Elise.”

Before I got lost in idle thoughts again, I quickly gathered myself and greeted her.

“Yes! Sir Ian! It’s really been a long time! I’ve missed you so much! What about you? Did you miss me too?”

“Of course… I missed seeing you as well.”

“Fufufu♪ Really? That’s mutual longing, then! So, how about calling me just ‘Elise’ instead of ‘Lady Elise’ now?”

“…That’s still a bit much.”

No matter how familiar we were, I wasn’t bold enough to casually call a goddess directly by her name yet.

“Ahh~ When will my dear Ian finally call me by my name?”

Elise puffed out her cheeks like a hamster full of food.

“But Lady Elise doesn’t call me by my name either.”

“Oh my! So Ian wanted me to call him by name?”

Elise whispered with a slightly flushed face.

“Ian.”

A shiver ran down my spine as if feathers were tickling my bones.

“Fufu… How cute. But it’s still a little embarrassing to call you by name. So, do you know what it means for you to be here, Ian?”

“Yes, Lady Elise.”

It meant that I had gathered enough destiny power to evolve as a ‘Gallery Manager.’

“Great! Then shall we get started?”

Snap!

As Elise snapped her fingers, the gallery opened before me, and a new announcement appeared.

---

【Notice: Gallery function update and maintenance downtime announcement!】

Date: June 15: 00:00 ~ 23:59.

Impact: Gallery unavailable.

Details: Addition of gallery features.

! Important Notice !

All gallery functions will be unavailable once maintenance begins, so please make sure to close the gallery at least 5 minutes before the maintenance starts!

---

The gallery maintenance was scheduled for tomorrow.

No, with less than 30 minutes left, calling it “tomorrow” felt odd.

I quickly opened Sextaterus to check the ‘Gallery Manager.’

---

▶[Gallery Manager's rank has increased!!]

▶[You can now appoint up to '1' deputy manager!!]

▶[You can view the real names of 'User Nicknames' twice a month without restriction!!]

▶[The 'Female Gallery' feature has been added!!]

---

“Oh.”

[Appoint Deputy Manager]

With the growing number of members in my “harem,” managing the gallery alone was becoming too overwhelming, so this was perfect timing.

‘The first deputy manager should be… Laplace, right?’

She was the only one in the gallery who I wouldn’t have a problem revealing my identity as EightTimesaDay◆ to, and she was already used to managing people.

‘Now, the remaining thing is the new feature.’

---

▶[The 'Female Gallery' feature has been added!!]

---

“Lady Elise, about the new gallery feature mentioned in the notice…”

“Fufu, Ian, what do you think I’ll say?”

“…Is it something to be saved for later enjoyment?”

“Exactly, Ian! You understand me so well! Isn’t this fate?”

Sparkling stars twinkled around Elise as she spun gracefully.

Well, even the previously seemingly insignificant ‘Voice Recording’ function had shown me the wonders of “ear-gasm” through Yuris’ ASMR, so this new feature was probably meaningful as well.

“Fufufu! As much as I enjoy chatting with you, Ian…”

After spinning a few more times, Elise stopped elegantly and spoke.

“I can’t keep you here for too long, so let’s get to the main point. Ian, you have something you want to ask me, don’t you?”

“….”

As expected of a goddess.

She seemed to know even without me saying a word.

“Yes, Lady Elise.”

“Fufufu! …But before that, let me tell you something. Normally, it wouldn’t be possible for me to reveal what you want to know. But since you’ve gathered enough destiny power to upgrade the ‘Gallery Manager,’ I’ll answer two… no, three questions for you.”

“….”

I had so many questions piled up, but I could only ask two?

Though it was disappointing, there was no other choice.

“…In that case, can you tell me about the ‘Demon of the Scales’?”

“Mm… No! That’s not possible, Ian.”

“Huh?”

I hadn’t expected her to reject my question so suddenly, right after offering me the chance to ask.

“Ah, I didn’t explain enough. It’s not that I won’t, it’s that I can’t. I can’t give you such vague information. With the amount of destiny power you have, it’s far from enough to transfer all the knowledge I have about the ‘Demon of the Scales.’”

“….”

It seemed like I had to narrow down my question further.

“In that case, can you tell me how to defeat the ‘Demon of the Scales’?”

“Mm… That’s also difficult. I know countless methods for defeating it.”

After hearing Elise’s words, I thought deeply and asked,

“…Can the ‘exorcism’ method I’m using defeat the ‘Demon of the Scales’?”

Right now, most of Estelle’s lower body was still possessed by the ‘Demon of the Scales,’ and I could place ‘pleasure’ on the scales without hesitation.

But…

What happened if Estelle gradually regained her body and the ‘Demon of the Scales’ moved down further?

“Mm! That’s a question I can answer.”

Elise smiled brightly, looking into my eyes with her dark pupils, and spoke.

『Do what you desire.』

---

Thud─

As soon as I heard Elise’s answer, I felt as though something had been carved away from me.

But that wasn’t all.

‘What’s happening?’

Suddenly, I felt an instinctive sense of rejection—or perhaps hostility—toward Elise.

Until a moment ago, this place had felt comfortable, but now it seemed like I had fallen into a swamp.

Squeeze─

“Ian? Are you okay? Is something wrong?”

“I just… suddenly felt unwell. I’m fine now.”

But that feeling lasted only for a brief moment.

As soon as I heard Elise’s concerned voice, I returned to normal.

“Heh… Perhaps it’s because your destiny power has been depleted? Up until now, you’ve only accumulated destiny power, but you’ve never actually used it!”

“Ah, is that so?”

“Yes, I’m sure that’s the reason!”

“…Thank you, Lady Elise.”

“Oh my…! There’s no need to thank me. I didn’t do anything. It’s all thanks to you, Ian, for gathering destiny power from the females. So, what’s your second question?”

“….”

The second question.

Honestly, there was only one question in my mind.

But I hesitated, unsure if I should really ask it…

『Do what you desire.』

The words Elise had spoken earlier guided my actions.

“…Lady Elise.”

“Yes, Ian.”

“If… hypothetically… if I were to have a relationship with a woman who isn’t part of the gallery, what would happen?”

Elise blinked her deep, dark eyes, seemingly not expecting that question.

“…What do you mean by ‘what would happen’? Does this imply that the women in the gallery alone aren’t enough to satisfy you, Ian?”

“No, that’s not it at all. It’s just… there’s a possibility I might be with someone who’s not in the gallery.”

Vacation was fast approaching.

‘Wouldn’t you like to have your way with my sister?’

Laplace had almost convinced Valentine, making the possibility of us being together more likely.

“Ah! Is this because you’re concerned about your ability to absorb destiny power from your partners?”

“…Yes.”

“Fufu! How considerate of you. But I don’t think you need to worry about that. In fact, having a relationship with them is part of destiny itself.”

“Part of destiny? What if they already have a partner?”

“Hmm? Haven’t I told you several times already? All females in this world belong to you, Ian. It might be a mystery which lucky female receives your favor, but… if they have a partner, then that’s unnatural.”

“Huh?”

“They’ve met the wrong partner. It’s only natural for females to be attracted to a superior male.”

“….”

Elise declared firmly.

“Yes. You could say it’s the normalization of an abnormal situation.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes! I swear on the name of the goddess! So you don’t need to worry about anything, Ian. Didn’t I tell you? Do what you desire.”

That’s right, with Elise’s guarantee, there was no point in doubting further.

“Understood. I trust you, Lady Elise.”

“Fufufu! Good. Everything will be fine as long as you trust me! Now then, Ian.”

Was she about to send me back?

Ssshh─

“Would you mind sitting on that chair over there for a moment?”

“Understood.”

Elise pointed to a chair that had suddenly appeared.

I didn’t know the reason, but there was no way I could refuse.

“Now, please extend your foot.”

“….”

Ssshh─

It felt a bit wrong to offer my bare foot to a goddess, but…

Smooch─!

“Ugh?!”

Before I could even feel guilty, a powerful pleasure surged from my toes, and I couldn’t help but moan.

“Smooch… huff… smooch…”

“Lady E-Elise…! What are you… ugh!!”

The goddess was sucking my foot!!

If the church found out, this would be an outrageous act of blasphemy worthy of destroying my entire lineage. I tried to pull my foot back, but my pleasure-dazed body wouldn’t respond.

“Smooch…♥”

[How does it feel, Ian? A goddess bowing her head and licking your feet. It's a luxury only you can enjoy in this world.]

At that moment, Elise’s voice echoed directly in my head.

“Ugh… Lady Elise… please… stop…! Ahh!”

No matter how hard I tried to endure, overwhelming pleasure forced moans from my lips.

The breath from Elise’s nose tickled the top of my foot as if she was amused by my reaction.

“Huff…!…smooch♥”

[Fufu... Are you so satisfied you can’t even speak? I can only offer you this for now, but please enjoy it to your heart's content.]

How could I even describe this sensation?

It was as if my big toe had become something like… that.

No, that kind of comparison wouldn’t suffice.

It felt like every nerve in my body was concentrated and amplified a hundredfold.

[Fufufu♪ In the near future, Ian, you’ll taste all of me. ...For eternity.]

As I was about to lose consciousness from the unbearable waves of pleasure, I heard Elise’s voice one last time.
