Mushoku Impact

After blowing an additional two loads into the beaker and rubbing a final one out between Albedo's thighs, Paul departed the lab in relatively high spirits. Albedo's personality left a lot to be desired, but quiet and serious girls weren't without their charms.
"Hmmm...where to next...?"
With no official duties or responsibilities, Paul found himself in a situation where he risked inconveniencing or disrupting anyone he decided to pay a visit. The girls that had accompanied him from the North were an obvious exception, at least for the time being, but he had no way of knowing what they had gotten up to since his departure from the showroom.
"I'm starting to get a better understanding of why that place exists..."
Since the showroom was where the girls gathered in their free time, it was the most obvious place to go if Paul wanted to avoid getting in the way of people trying to work. It was also conveniently located next to his room, so, even if he were just returning to rest, he would invariably be tempted to stop by and see who was inside.
"Clever girl..."
Though the showroom was a joint effort of all the girls, Paul didn't have to strain himself to imagine Ningguang roping in the rest. She could be 'very' persuasive when she wanted to be, so, even if it was just setting things in motion, Paul could picture her squinty-eyed smile as everything gradually fell into place.
Recalling his promise to inform Ningguang before he accessed the IOF, Paul asked someone to show him to the nearest clock. It was just after 5 PM, but that was around the time things began calming down as people ate dinner and prepared to retire for the night.&nbsp;
With around an hour before the sun began to set over the horizon, Paul decided he should probably check in on Amalie, Esme, and the triplets. It had only been a day since their separation, but even that was a fairly long time considering the family of felines was completely out of their element.
Fortunately for Paul, Amalie and her children hadn't just holed themselves up in their room all day, anxiously awaiting his return. Ningguang had sent a few Beast People Maids over to help them get settled in. The compound also had educational and care facilities, so Amalie ended up helping out in the kitchen while Esme received lessons in Magic and Swordsmanship. As for the triplets, the care center had personnel who were uniquely qualified to deal with Beast Race children...
...

.
By the time Paul was finished wandering around and checking on Amalie and her kids, it was just after 6 PM. This was a good time to meet up with Ningguang, but Paul decided to get some dinner before heading over. His intuition told him it would be a long night, so he wanted to fill his stomach before anything else.
With the 'luck' he had experienced during breakfast and lunch, Paul would be lying if he said he wasn't a little disappointed to find the canteen's VIP lounge empty when he entered for dinner. It was a space large enough to seat around 50 people comfortably, so it felt odd to have such a spacious room to himself.
"Eh, it's probably for the best..."
Since he would be aiming for a new Archon during tonight's summoning, Paul knew there was a good chance the number of his companions would be increasing rather drastically. After all, there were purported to be more than a hundred people lingering within the Intersection of Fate, so the 33 he had summoned thus far was only about a third of the total amount.
With his thoughts wandering to the IOF, Paul tried to recall the names of everyone he was familiar with but had yet to summon. Diluc was the first to appear within his mind, but he also recalled people like Mona, Noelle, Sucrose, Klee, Hu Tao, and Keqing. There was also that pink-haired fox girl that was really popular in the community prior to his death, but Paul had never played through the Inazuma content, so he couldn't remember the specifics surrounding her character. All he knew for sure was that she was 'very' close to Ei...
Realizing it had been a while since he actively asked the girls about their pasts, Paul made a mental note to start updating his journal again as he prepared to depart the lounge. He half-expected someone to show up at the last moment, but that ended up being an unnecessary concern as the buffet was actually closing down by the time he emerged. The facility was open 24/7, but the only food items availably 'after hours' were bread, milk, dried meat, and vegetable stew.
With the compound shifting into night operations mode, the number of staff decreased rather drastically. There were people wandering the halls, but they were primarily security personnel rather than ordinary members of the Service Corps.
Having made the journey from the canteen to Ningguang's office earlier in the day, Paul only got turned around once or twice before finding his way. By then, Ningguang wasn't the only person awaiting his arrival. There was also Ganyu, obviously, Kokomi, Ei, and, presumably after receiving word of his return, Zhongli and Kusanali.
Just as Paul was being allowed into the room by Ganyu, Kusanali, now appearing as a mature, dark-skinned beauty with pale golden eyes and a lithe figure, remarked, "It would appear Ningguang wasn't exaggerating. In just three short years, you practically became a giant."
Adding on to Kusanali's words, an incredibly buxom woman who Paul immediately recognized as Zhongli, adopted a faint smile as she calmly appended, "Giant or no, it's rather impressive how much he has grown. I even felt my heart skip a beat when he first entered the room..."
Seeing the matured Archons, Paul briefly found himself at a complete and utter loss for words. Zhongli had developed a voluptuous figure that could rival Ei's, but she was nearly as tall as he was. Kusanali was comparatively petite, but her sharp, angular, almost snake-like eyes harmonized with her dark skin to give her a very exotic and alluring charm...
Recovering from his momentary stupor, Paul attempted to appear serious as he met Zhongli's gaze and remarked, "The IOF didn't pull any punches when it coded you as female, did it? It almost feels wrong for you to have such a figure..."
Maintaining her smile, Zhongli crossed her arms in a manner that further accented her breasts as she explained, "This is the IOF's way of making it easier for us to fulfill our respective duties. The greater your apprehension towards a particular individual, the more their body will adjust to suit your preferences. I believe we have already discussed this...?"
Nodding his head, Paul flatly replied, "Yeah, back when you were telling me how to produce Seelies. I still remember that particular conversation 'very' clearly..."
Restraining a chuckle, Zhongli squinted her eyes and said, "Speaking of which...it's been quite a while. After all this time, I imagine Lord Kusanali and I have some catching up to do..."
With Zhongli directing her gaze toward her, Ei's body tensed as a faint red hue colored her cheeks. She and Paul had produced several Seelies, but nowhere near as many as they could have. The process of giving birth to them was beyond embarrassing, and she had a hard time separating from them once they were born.
Seeing through Ei's reaction, Zhongli exhaled a faintly exasperated sigh before adopting an encouraging smile and saying, "No matter. As Master Paul grows more powerful and the energy within his body develops, the Seelies we produce will become more potent. The most important thing right now is that we gather each of the Seven. We will need an abundance of all seven Elements to achieve our goal."
Nodding her head in agreement, Ningguang chimed in to say, "That's the reason we have gathered here. Paul intends to acquire at least one more Archon before venturing back home. With any luck, Ladies Murata or Venti will be joining our ranks before the evening concludes. If not, well, we will still be able to increase the number of our allies by a fair amount."
Smiling wryly, Paul pointed out, "You know, not saying their names is an excellent way to guarantee summons you don't want. I understand your concerns about the Tsaritsa, but is Varuna really that bad? Based on what Lynette has told me, she is a very caring and righteous person."
Furrowing her brows, Ningguang retorted, "If by caring and righteous you mean controlling and quick to execute anyone who opposes her idea of a utopia, then you're spot on..."
Supporting Ningguang's assertion, Zhongli explained, "Fontaine presents itself as a nation of beauty, art, and water. However, hidden beneath the surface, it is a nation ruled by a Tyrant who purports the idea of 'absolute justice.' Any who oppose her ideals simply disappear, never to be seen or heard from again..."
"Well, that's ominous..."
Nodding her head, Zhongli replied, "Indeed." before adopting a serious expression and warning, "You should prepare yourself. If you do end up summoning the Archons of Cryo or Hydro, you may have no choice but to use your 'authority' to control them. The Tsaritsa, in particular, possesses the ability to charm men and women alike with a glance. We will intervene if she tries to use her powers against you, but unless we keep her locked away, her influence and ideals would gradually spread through the ranks of the Service Corps and beyond..."
"..."
While Zhongli's words sounded a little extreme, the Tsaritsa was one of the primary antagonists within the game. Her forces, the Fatui, were not against murder, blackmail, mind control, and even human experimentation if it meant completing their objectives. They actively worked to destabilize every other nation, often claiming the lives of countless innocents in their efforts to steal the Gnosis of other Archons and ensure their Empress, the Tsaritsa, reigned over all.
Though Paul knew there was more to the story than the Tsaritsa simply being the 'big bad,' the methods she employed to achieve her objectives were more than enough reason to take Zhongli's warning seriously. The notion of using his 'power' to compel people to obey made him more than a little uncomfortable, but, considering the Tsaritsa readily did the same, it was assuredly some kind of karmic justice to have her endure a similar experience.
"Thanks...I'll keep that in mind..."
Nodding her head in approval, Zhongli said, "That's all I can ask." before pulling out a very expensive-looking pocket watch, checking the time, and adding, "By this time, the sun would have long completed its descent over the horizon. Shall we proceed to the main event?"
Since the decision was ultimately Paul's to make, everyone focused their gazes on him. The pressure naturally exuded by the Archons was enough to make goosebumps spread across his arms and legs, but Paul managed to shrug it off with relative ease as he answered, "Sure. Afterward, we can have a little celebration-slash-reunion party. I've come to a few important realizations these last couple of weeks, so, for once, I'm actually looking forward to clapping your cheeks. I sure as hell gave you enough chances to back out..."
Though Paul's language was a little uncouth, Zhongli just exhaled a faint laugh in response to his words. She had never once been troubled by her change in gender. Rather, after spending more than 6000 years as a male, womanhood had been a rather novel experience. Thus, if Paul wanted to 'clap her cheeks,' she was more than willing to oblige.&nbsp;
Regaining her composure, Zhongli adopted an alluring smile that could give Ningguang and Lisa a run for their money as she said, "Excellent. I'm looking for to it..." in a deep yet irrefutably feminine tone.
...
..
.

After opening the Intersection of Fate, Paul made his way into the interior, followed closely by Ningguang, Ganyu, Zhongli, Ei, Kusanali, and Kokomi. Paul wasn't yet aware of it, but the latter had joined Ningguang's staff as both a General Advisor and a replacement Secretary. Not because Ganyu had been doing a poor job, but because Ningguang anticipated she would want to follow and support Paul.
"Well, if it isn't Katheryne. It's good to see you."
Though Paul had already told her about Katheryne and the services she provided, Ningguang still acted surprised to see her. As for Zhongli and Kusanali, their reactions were a bit more genuine, the former smiling as she said, "This is a pleasant surprise." while the latter remarked, "I should have known you would appear at some point. Tell me, is there any place you Katheryne(s) can't appear?"
Returning a professional smile, Katheryne lowered her head and calmly replied, "Ad Astra Abyssosque. It's good to see everyone in such high spirits. If there is anything I can do to be of service, please let me know."
Since it appeared that Ningguang was about to force Katheryne to give her a thorough explanation of her goods and services, Paul waved to get the group's attention, saying, "I'm gonna get started on the summoning. Mind giving me a hand?"
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Ganyu replied, "Of course," followed by Kokomi chiming, "Certainly~!" with a friendly smile on her face. As for Zhongli, Kusanali, and Ei, they formed a perimeter around the summoning platform while Ningguang took a look at the catalog Paul had mentioned during their early-morning cuddle session.
With Ganyu's machine-like efficiency and Kokomi's earnest efforts, Paul managed to complete the summoning process in record time. The first two pulls netted him a Constellation for Lisa and a 4-Star Bow known as the Blackcliff Warbow. After that, he got his first unique pull, the meteor gaining a luminous purple hue that impacted the summoning platform and manifested into the form of a very petite girl.
Recognizing the girl immediately, Kokomi's face visibly brightened as she brought the tips of her fingers together and nearly exclaimed, "Sayu! How wonderful~!" in a merry tone of voice. In response, the sleepy-eyed girl, possessing short, green-tinted blonde hair, wine-red eyes, and a Maid uniform accented with a tanuki tail accessory, held up two fingers to form a half-ram seal as she replied, "Yup. It's me...nin..." in a lazy but fairly cute voice.
Since the two were clearly familiar with one another, Paul turned to Kokomi and suggested, "Why don't the two of you step off to the side and catch up? Ganyu and I can handle this."
Understanding that Paul was trying to be considerate, Kokomi adopted a squinty-eyed smile as she replied, "That is a wonderful suggestion. Thank you, Master."
Earning an instinctual smile from Paul a wide-eyed expression from Sayu, Kokomi punctuated her words with a kiss to the former's cheek. Her heart felt as though it was going to burst out of her chest when she did, but she wanted Paul to know she was genuinely appreciative of his concern.
With Kokomi moving off to the side to explain things to Sayu, the efficacy of manifesting Fates diminished by around 25%. Despite this, Paul and Ganyu managed to complete four additional 10-Pulls by the time Kokomi returned to assist them, netting two misses, a 4-Star Catalyst known as a Hakushin Ring, and Constellations for Rosaria, Kay, and Hina.
Following Kokomi's return, Paul managed to acquire a duplicate 4-Star Polearm, the Blackcliff Pole, before psyching himself up for his first Pity pull. Ningguang noticed this, as she had been keeping count, so she set aside the catalog for a brief moment, her ruby-red eyes focused squarely on the sky above.
Feeling the tensions increasing, the giddiness that always accompanied a 5-Star summoning caused a rather fierce-looking smile to develop across Paul's face as he raised his gaze to the azure sky and practically growled, "Confirm...!"&nbsp;
Noticing the change in Paul's expression and demeanor, a thoughtful glimmer flashed across Kokomi's eyes as she briefly made eye contact with Ganyu. Neither said anything, but both got the impression that, for a brief moment, Paul had become a completely different person.
Unaware of the girls' thoughts, Paul's gaze followed the brilliant golden meteor as it erupted into a series of smaller comets that crashed into the summoning platform. They produced a blinding light on impact, but Paul didn't so much as blink as he eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new ally, a powerful weapon, or a 5-Star Constellation.
Just as Paul's excitement reached a critical level, the light faded away to reveal the figure of a strikingly beautiful woman with sakura pink hair and droopy, distinctly animalistic ears. She was wearing a Maid outfit, as per usual, but it more closely resembled the clothes of a Shrine Maiden than a traditional Maid. When she opened her eyes, Paul felt a fresh layer of goosebumps spread across his body as her violet purple eyes seemed to pierce directly through him as she said, "It's about time..." in a casual-sounding yet somewhat still seductive tone.
Before Paul could even think to greet the woman, Ei abrupted shouted, "Yae!?" in a tone that was equal parts surprise and excitement. She was usually a very reticent woman, so even Paul was a little caught off guard by the beautiful smile that immediately blossomed across her face.
Adopting an alluring smile of her own, Yae replied, "It's good to see you again, Ei. However, before I can pick your brain for all the juicy details surrounding your relationship with our Master, there is another matter I must attend..."
While Ei was blushing up a storm imagining Yae's imminent pestering, the vulpine woman looked towards Paul before bringing her fingers together in front of her body and bowing low as she said, "Yae Miko, High Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, personal friend of Raiden Ei, and Editor-in-Chief of the Yae Publishing House, greets her Master."
Since she hadn't risen to her feet following her summoning, Yae's bow resembled a young Japanese woman greeting her husband for the first time. It was the same type of bow that Ei had performed during her first encounter with Paul, but the impact was on an entirely different level. It was like every fiber of Yae's being exuded raw, unadulterated sex appeal.
Smelling Paul's arousal, a seductive smile developed across Yae's face as she raised her head just enough to reveal her purple eyes, glistening like active Electro Visions as she purred, "Yae looks forward to being able to serve her Master...whatever he may desire..."
Resisting the urge to push the pink-haired fox girl then and there, Paul returned a smile of his own as he said, "You and I are going to get along." before jerking his head toward Ei and saying, "Go and talk to your former Master. I still have more summons to do."
Though she couldn't help squinting her eyes when Paul referred to Ei as her former Master, Yae didn't protest or try to refute his claim. She knew what kind of situation they were in, so she just lowered her head politely before rising to her feet and gracefully meandering toward Ei. The God of the Boundaries had told them that time flowed at a rate of 100:1 between the outside world and the Intersection of Fate's waiting area. Thus, even though it had only been 24 days and fours hours since Ei was summoned, Yae knew it must have been around seven years from the perspective of her friend and former owner. If Paul had hurt her even once in that time period...
Unaware of the terrifying thoughts brewing in Yae's mind, Paul, assisted by Ganyu and Kokomi, continued with their summoning. As a result, they were able to obtain a 4-Star Claymore resembling a giant katana, a miss, and a Constellation for Fischl before acquiring their next ally, a demure yet intellectual-looking girl with mint-green hair, wolfish ears that blended in with her hairstyle, and amber-eyes that quivered nervously behind a pair of thick-rimmed glasses.
Recognizing the young woman as one of his formerly favorite characters, primarily as a result of her default, form-fitting outfit and clumsy nature, a teasing smile developed across Paul's face as he playfully mused, "I was wondering when you would make your appearance. Welcome to the world of Mushoku Tensei, Sucrose."
"Ah..."
Not expecting Paul to address her by name, Sucrose appeared even more nervous, a prominent red hue spreading through her face as she appeared to shrink into herself, replying, "H-Hello. Y-You must be Master Paul. It's a p-p-p-pleasure to meet you...!"
With nearly a month to think about what she would be forced to do once summoned, Sucrose couldn't meet Paul's gaze as she held up her thick-rimmed glasses with both hands and squeezed her thighs firmly shut. His apparent familiarity with her only made things worse, as it heavily implied he had been looking forward to summoning her.
Feeling a strange combination of satisfaction and guilt seeing Sucrose's reaction, Paul's smile became a little wry as he scratched the back of his head, turned to Ganyu, and asked, "Can you take care of this one? I get the feeling she might pass out if I'm the one to explain things."
Nodding her head, Ganyu replied, "Certainly." before rising to her feet and approaching Sucrose with a disarming smile. Her aura immediately helped to alleviate some of Sucrose's nervousness, but her movements were still a little awkward as she pressed down the front of her curiously short skirt and shuffled away with her thighs squeezed together. What Paul found most amusing about this was the fact that Sucrose's efforts to protect her front ended up completely exposing her pert and perky bottom...
While silently regretting the fact he hadn't summoned Sucrose earlier, Paul returned his attention to the summoning circle and continued the process of slotting in Asura Gold Coins to produce Acquaint Fates. The addition of two animal-eared beauties to his entourage had put him in a great mood, so, even though he got four misses in a row, Paul maintained a smile and pretended it didn't bother him. Fortunately, the roll after that was guaranteed to give him a 5-Star ally or weapon.
Placing his palms against the stone activation panel, Paul mused, "Here's hoping for an Archon..." before adopting a far more severe expression and shouting, "Confirm...!"
Following another spectacular light show, something Paul never got tired of, the brilliant golden light faded away to reveal a petite figure that many in the community argued to be the 'true' Pyro Archon. And why shouldn't they when her idea of leisure was creating bombs and using them to blow up fish?
Standing at a meager 121.5cm tall and possessing features that included elf-like ears and pale blonde hair fastened into two pigtails, the faux-Pyro Archon, better known as Klee, appeared disoriented as she looked around and asked, "Mommy? Where did you go...?" in a flummoxed tone. From her perspective, she had been in the middle of enjoying her mother's embrace when, all of a sudden, a floaty feeling filled her chest. After that, she felt a sensation of weightlessness, followed by a sudden yet painless stop.
Feeling a nervous sweat breaking out across his body, Paul's smile visibly cramped as he stared at the ruby-eyed girl seated across from him. Back when he was a child, he had made a concerted effort to try and summon Klee as early as possible. He figured he could avoid a lot of trouble by growing up alongside her, so obtaining her now was kind of a slap in the face. Not because he wasn't happy to have her as a part of their group, but because Klee's words made him feel as though he had just abducted her...
Finally noticing the presence of other people, Klee tilted both her head and body as she stared at Paul, a thoughtful "Hmmm...?" emanating from her throat. She usually wasn't very good at critical thinking, a quality that often got her into trouble, but, as far as Klee could tell, Paul was the only boy present. Thus, after a tense moment of silence, she said, "My mommy told me to tell you she would skin you alive if you touched Klee before she grew up. She also told Klee to put bombs under your pillow you ever-oh, I wasn't supposed to tell you that part...well, it's fine? Klee will do her best, just no naughty stuff, okay~!?"
Since he had no intention of placing his hands on a girl that looked to be around 8-10 years old, Paul just exhaled a dry laugh in response to Klee's words before adopting a less cramped smile and saying, "I'll keep that in mind. Welcome to the world of Mushoku Tensei, Klee."
Linking her hands behind her back, Klee adopted a smile as radiant as the sun as she leaned forward slightly and happily replied, "Let's have lots of fun, okay~?"
...
..
.

"Please, try not to touch anything..."
After allowing Paul access to her laboratory, those were the first words Albedo said before subsequently dismissing the three nerdy-looking girls serving as her assistants.
Waiting until it was just the two of them, Paul adopted a teasing smile as he said, "I wasn't going to, but now I kind of wanna..."
Turning her gaze towards Paul, Albedo issued a soft, "Hmmm..." before appearing to ignore his comment as she turned away and said, "I'm glad you chose to come here so soon after my invitation. Though, considering I've been waiting for 1018 days, it isn't exactly accurate to say your arrival has been timely..."
While speaking to Paul, Albedo made her way over to a table that sported enough beakers, tubes, and gas burners to make a Chemist blush. Then, despite knowing the answer, she asked, "What do you know of Alchemy?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Paul replied, "More than most, but nowhere near as much as an actual Alchemist."
Picking up one of the many beakers, Albedo hummed an, "I see..." before turning around and adding, "Then I'll not waste both of our time by going into the specifics. It's enough to know that the fundamentals are analysis, deconstruction, and reconstruction. To that end, please fill this container with as much of your semen as possible."
"..."
Seeing Paul's, 'are you being serious right now?' kind of expression, a soft sigh emanated from Albedo's throat as she muttered, "Well, it was worth a shot..." before reaching up to release the clasp keeping her blue and white lab coat in place.&nbsp;
Before Albedo could finish removing her elbow-length gloves, Paul placed the beaker she had handed him to the side, asking, "I'm guessing this has something to do with my void energy and your girls' dependency on it?"
Though she continued removing her gloves, Albedo raised her brows ever so slightly as she answered, "Indeed. While we can maintain our physical forms with mana-rich foods and other consumables, that is predicated on the fact we remain fairly inactive. If we are to grow stronger and make full use of our abilities, we need a steady supply of your...essence."
Using her lab coat as a cushion of sorts, Albedo kneeled in front of Paul as if were guaranteed he would 'assist' in her experiment. This made it appear as though she was prepared to give him a blowjob, but her actual intent was to use her hands so that the sample wouldn't be contaminated. The proximity of her face to Paul's crotch was entirely for the purposes of observation and analysis.
Seeing Paul making no efforts to lower or remove his trousers, Albedo looked up at him, her luminous teal eyes emanating a faint glow as she questioned, "Is something the matter? If you would prefer someone else performing the extraction, we can resume once you have petitioned their assistance. However, I must insist that the extraction be performed here. I need the freshest possible sample to conduct my analysis."
Instead of answering Albedo's question, Paul asked, "Are you sure you're okay with this? I don't want you to feel like you're forcing yourself. Rather, now that I know what it's for..."
Picking up the liter-sized beaker, a wry smile involuntarily made its way to Paul's face before he shook his head and questioned, "Anywhere private around here? I can't fill the entire container, but I should be able to pump one or two shots out if you give me ten to fifteen minutes."
Not expecting Paul's sudden cooperation, Albedo typically expressionless face remained unchanged. Paul did, however, manage to earn a bit of her respect.
Though she didn't hesitate to rise to her feet, Albedo felt obligated to explain, "Your concern is appreciated, but you should know I'm not like the others who have had their genders modified. While I am presently a human, I was originally a Homunculus, an artificial being created through the Art of Khemia. I have never had any attachment to concepts such as gender, so you need not be on tenterhooks around me..."
Having finished donning her gloves, Albedo turned to face Paul directly as she added, "While I have benefitted from the presence of the Geo Archon and my associated Vision, they are only a stop-gap measure. I still require your essence to grow stronger and alleviate the sense of discomfort that, even now, emanates from the crest on my abdomen. To that end, it would make my job a little easier if you were to visit once or twice a day. First, to provide a fresh sample, and second..."
Placing her hand over her abdomen, Albedo did her best to emulate the look Ningguang gave others when she was about to tease them. She was able to get the eyes right, but the complete lack of a smile almost made it appear as though she was about to attack rather than tease someone...
Not expecting someone other than Kay to try and flirt with him, Paul was both surprised and a little taken aback by Albedo's attempt at seduction. He didn't particularly mind it, but it was so out of character compared to his impression of her younger counterpart. Back then, Albedo always had her nose in a book and would sometimes completely ignore him if he tried to strike up a conversation...
Misinterpreting Paul's expression as confusion, Albedo pat her stomach and clarified, "I'm asking you to cum in vagina. Once should be enough, but I don't mind receiving additional shots so long as it doesn't take too long or interfere with my ability to carry out my research. I don't have a lot of free time for things like 'recreation' and recovery..."
Suppressing a bemused chuckle, Paul shook his head and said, "I'll keep that in mind." before holding up the beaker to face level and adding, "You know, if you're as comfortable being female as you claim, why not give me a hand? Not in the literal sense, more so along the lines of providing a bit of motivation..."
Furrowing her brows ever so slightly, Albedo responded with a curt, "I'm not good with things like metaphors and innuendos. If there's something you want me to do, clarify it outright."
Since he was a little interested in seeing how far Albedo would go, Paul shrugged his shoulders and said, "If we were going to fuck afterward, I would ask you to masturbate. However, since I'm assuming you'll need clean hands to conduct your research, how about you drop your shorts, bend over that table, and stick your butt out? You might not be aware of this, but the view of a woman's backside in form-fitting lingerie is one of the most captivating sights for men of all ages..."
Though she narrowed her eyes in suspicion, Albedo eventually replied, "Very well..." before turning around and pulling at the clasp of her belt. She was wearing a pair of form-fitting shorts that hugged her figure and bit into her thigh, but they slid off rather easily due to their elasticity.
Just as she was about to stick her butt out, Albedo was surprised to find herself hesitating. Not because she was afraid to be seen, but because it had been 2-3 days since she last returned to her room to change clothes. She hadn't done anything to get them dirty, but the notion that Paul might spot a pee stain or something similar caused Albedo's body to freeze up...
Noticing Albedo's hesitation, Paul asked, "What's up? Did you change your mind...?"
Ignoring Paul's question, Albedo pulled open the front of her panties to inspect them directly. There was a very slight stain, hardly noticeable, but that was more than enough reason for her to lower them, concealing the evidence within the confines of her shorts as she asked, "This should be more effective, no...?"
Without waiting for Paul's reply, Albedo bent over and stuck her fair yet surprisingly voluminous butt out. She had a very lean and athletic figure, so Paul half-expected her ass to be as modest as her chest or as flat as her expression.
Though it was pretty obvious that Albedo was trying to hide something, Paul ultimately just shrugged his shoulders and began loosening his belt. Albedo had a perfectly puckered asshole, a tantalizing thigh gap, and one of the cleanest labial pleats he had ever seen. She also had a bit of pale, ashen-grey pubes, something that was pretty rare among the women he had summoned through the IOF.
Hearing the sound of rustling clothes, Albedo peeked over her shoulder to observe Paul's actions. When he eventually dropped his trousers, the trio of white dots in her irises began to revolve as her pupils contracted to the size of pinholes. She had known that Paul was inordinately well endowed, but this was her first time witnessing just how 'blessed' he was in terms of his male symbol...
Voicing her thoughts aloud, Albedo asserted, "It's a good thing we aren't having sex right this instant. I'll need to prepare some lubricant and a few other items to reduce the risk of tearing..."
Shaking his head, Paul refuted Albedo's statement, claiming, "Women are a lot more 'adaptive' than you think. Though she could only accommodate about half my total length, even Diona was able to accept me without any significant issues. She had a bit of trouble regulating her breathing at first, but that's pretty common during your first time."
"I see..."
Since Paul had a significant amount of experience on the subject, Albedo decided to trust his claim. She still planned to obtain some lubricant, but it would only come out if she felt her body wasn't adapting as quickly as his words suggested.&nbsp;
In all things, be it science, alchemy, or life in general, it was much better to be safe than sorry...
With Paul having already started masturbating, his eyes focused intently on her bottom; Albedo only observed him for a few seconds before facing forward and letting her thoughts wander to her research. With Paul having returned, at least for the time being, she would need to adjust the priority of several projects. If she was lucky, he might even summon Sucrose, or, better yet, her Master...the person who had both created and instructed her in the ancient Art of Khemia...
Remembering the exchange she had with both her Master and surrogate mother, a look of conviction appeared on Albedo's face. Ningguang might be the de facto leader of their group, excluding Paul, but there was only so much her administrative prowess could achieve. Albedo believed the success of their mission hinged on the progress of her research and the power of the Archons. To that end, she int-
