Chapter 344: The Correct Use of Telekinetic Magic
In the end, however, Haruto restrained himself. One can be vigilant for a thousand days, but not forever.
Once he overcame his ingrained fears, he realized that such worries were somewhat excessive upon closer reflection.
Even the slightly empowered heroines from adult parodies are no longer threatened by ordinary troublemakers, and so far, not a single incident has occurred—let alone the significantly strengthened Naruse Sisters.
In fact, from the time Yuki and Kurumi returned to their village until their recent arrival back, they encountered no crises whatsoever.
Not that there were none at all—top-tier beauties like them always attract unwanted advances or people with impure intentions.
But a simple minor spell was all it took to resolve any such situations.
When faced with particularly troublesome individuals, they didn't mind spending a little extra time to help boost the arrest statistics of the Japanese police.
Haruto snapped out of his thoughts and grinned at Toujou Basara. "Basara, if you want to reincarnate too, you'd better tell me soon—spots on my side are running out."
Toujou Basara rolled his eyes and retorted, "Did you forget I already have demon blood in me?"
"But that's only a quarter~" Haruto teased.
"Hmm, you're right. Though calling you 'Master' rubs me the wrong way, it's not entirely out of the question," Toujou Basara said deliberately. "Give me a few days to think it over—make sure you save a spot for me."
"Uh…"
Haruto stiffened for a moment. He had only been joking and never expected Basara to agree.
The thought of having a man among his Familiars (or harem) felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
As he scrambled for an excuse to back out, he noticed the slight upturn at the corner of Basara's mouth.
Haruto's expression darkened—he hadn't expected to be the one teased for a change.
Seeing Haruto's reaction, Basara knew he'd been found out and dropped the act, clutching his stomach as he burst into laughter.
He wasn't stupid; given their close friendship, he was well aware of Haruto's sensitivity when it came to women.
Just as Haruto had known Basara would never agree to become his Familiar and had teased him about it, Basara had decided to turn the tables and give Haruto a taste of his own medicine.
Back at home, Haruto couldn't stop thinking about Basara's roaring laughter and decided he'd gone too easy on him during their sparring session.
"Master."
Zest, the bunny-eared maid, set a tray of black tea and snacks before Haruto. Her beautiful face flushed slightly the moment her eyes met his.
Haruto took a sip of the tea, his gaze lingering on her voluptuous figure, which even the loose maid uniform couldn't conceal. A thought crossed his mind.
"Zest, come to my room tonight."
After a brief moment of fluster, the buxom bunny-eared girl blushed shyly and replied softly, "Yes, Master."
Haruto paused, realizing he hadn't been clear—Zest had probably misunderstood.
Now that he had confirmed his strength had reached its peak, he had no intention of taking the girls' virginity for the time being.
A maiden's primal yin offered significant benefits for cultivation, but it couldn't be preserved. While frequent dual cultivation could achieve similar effects, Haruto still felt it was somewhat wasteful.
Lately, he had gained new insights into developing telekinetic magic and simply wanted Zest to assist him in testing them.
Telekinetic magic was closely tied to mental power. To achieve formidable offensive force, one had to output intense mental energy while channeling specific mana.
However, the requirement for such powerful mental output meant that, when attacking with telekinetic magic, the user had no spare mental capacity to control their body, and their eyes would emit a conspicuous glow of mana.
As long as one's mental power is sufficiently strong, it is actually possible to speak, move, and even employ other combat methods while using telekinesis.
With Haruto's mental power, once proficient, outputting S-Class intensity would hardly affect his control over his body, equivalent to gaining an invisible S-Class teammate in battle.
However, an S-Class teammate would have almost no impact in a fight against a Super Devil Class opponent.
Thus, Haruto had a sudden inspiration: if telekinetic magic isn't suitable as a primary means of attack, what about using it as support?
For instance, tripping up enemies unexpectedly during combat or engaging in some harassment.
This level of telekinesis wouldn't interfere with Haruto's actions at all, and it was covert enough to impose psychological pressure on enemies.
Fear often stems from the unknown.
Once he thought of using telekinetic magic as an auxiliary means, Haruto's perspective instantly broadened.
Compared to its supportive role in combat, telekinetic magic seemed even more formidable in bed.
Telekinesis could transform at will—besides being formless and intangible, the touches it delivered to young women were no different from Haruto's own hands, except for the lack of temperature.
The issue of temperature was easily resolved by channeling a bit more magical power; with practice, controlling temperature became straightforward. Compared to human body temperature, it could even offer more variety and stimulation.
The "Nine Layers of Ice and Fire" was no longer just a dream.
Well, though only the young women could enjoy it, of course.
As for using telekinetic magic for self-gratification, it was essentially the same as masturbation. After trying it once, Haruto lost interest.
Haruto only had two hands, two legs, and one dragon, but the number of telekinetic forms he could create was vast.
Without needing to ensure offensive power, the mental energy required to form telekinesis was much less.
He had experimented with the simplest tentacle form and, without affecting his own movements, could currently only manage two simultaneously.
Perhaps it was related to his frequent use of invisible hands in combat; with familiarity, he might be able to add one or two more.
Telekinesis could relay tactile sensations similar to skin contact back to Haruto, so when destroyed, it not only harmed his spirit but also caused pain.
This was a minor flaw in combat, but in dual cultivation, such tactile feedback was like adding wings to a tiger.
Though it couldn't compare to the pleasure from his dragon, the delightful sensation of skin-to-skin contact still heightened his excitement.
Once the number of telekinetic tentacles increased, Haruto believed it would be a truly wonderful experience.
Originally, he just wanted to use telekinesis to caress Zest, testing his ideas about the strength and temperature of the telekinetic hands, which would require gradual adjustment.
Only after determining the upper and lower limits the girls could endure and training it into instinct would telekinetic magic truly reach its pinnacle.
Although Zest had misunderstood, Haruto had no intention of correcting her.
Wasting a maiden's primordial yin was just that—wasted. The bottleneck between Satan-Class and God-Level was as solid as an insurmountable chasm; Haruto couldn't even find a direction to break through, let alone achieve it anytime soon.
It wasn't as if he could refrain from replicating new talents until he broke through.
"Zest, are you adjusting well to your current life?"
Having made up his mind, Haruto continued conversing with Zest, striving to build a good rapport so that their dual cultivation that evening would feel more natural.
After all, with the Succubus's abilities and his own skills, there was basically no chance of any mishaps.
"That's quite good." The buxom bunny-eared girl stood obediently beside Haruto. "Thanks to Miss Lucia, she taught me many things about being a maid."
Haruto narrowed his eyes, two alluring figures that always stirred his temper surfacing in his mind.
Sheila and Lucia had decided to settle in the human realm. Lucia, originally a maid, had resumed her profession.
Sheila, this loli Succubus mother, possessed considerable strength at SSS-level. Combined with her knowledge of many secrets, she had taken on the role of cultivation instructor for the women.
Haruto always felt he would coincidentally encounter the mother-daughter pair several times a day, and they would always have enjoyable conversations.
After deciding to remain in the human realm, Sheila and Lucia gradually revealed their true personalities.
Lucia, who appeared sexually reserved, indeed still possessed a Succubus heart. While working she maintained complete professionalism, but showed no hesitation when discussing explicit topics.
Whenever someone made a mistake—whether herself or others—the solutions she proposed were always incredibly erotic.
And she would say this with a completely serious expression, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Sheila's personality was the lively yet scheming type, with particularly sharp intuition that could almost be described as mind-reading.
Manipulating hearts was one of the Succubus talents, but Sheila seemed to have developed this to its extreme.
Maria's little tricks were like showing off one's meager skills before an expert when performed in front of her.
The more Haruto understood the Succubus mother and daughter, the more a certain idea swelled within him.
Especially when facing Lucia, this cool and elegant Succubus beauty—every time he heard those erotic words spill from her cute little mouth, it made him want to pin her down beneath him.
Haruto was quite straightforward about such matters. Given Sheila's status as a mother, he couldn't be too forward, but with Lucia, he had no such reservations.
They were just sisters—he'd already been with both Mio and Maria, so what would adding Lucia matter?
But whenever Haruto extended his invitations, the cool and sexy Succubus beauty always responded ambiguously.
Haruto knew he could definitely succeed if he pushed harder, but rather than half-hearted compliance, he wanted to understand what kind of medicine this Succubus mother-daughter pair was really selling.
