The Absolute Beings Obsessed with My Defeat Addiction

“Hoo.”

After showing Yuris a short one-hour illusion video, I finished tidying up and licked my lips.

‘Is she really this eager to come at such a late hour?’

Honestly, I didn’t expect her to show up at this time.

In the Empire, the Emperor is referred to as the sun, and almost all public officials only work during the day when the sun is up. 

It’s not a law, but it’s a kind of rule that public officials, except for the patrols, knights, and the royal guard, do not work at night when the Emperor’s grace does not shine.

‘That doesn’t mean nothing is open at night, though.’

Bars and restaurants, along with many professions excluding public officials, operate even after sunset, but most public officials do not work at night.

I heard that the Imperial Knights are especially strict about this.

Unless there’s a duty, mission, or training, they are said to be extremely reluctant to take on outside schedules at night.

‘Among them, Yuris seemed like the one who would adhere to that rule the most.’

I didn’t expect her to come at such a late hour.

The last time she visited after winning against the 2nd Knight Brigade, it was still daytime.

Of course, the sun was down when she left, but she would have some flexibility.

“It’s good that you’re satisfied with our video, but it would be troublesome if you get too immersed.”

With Yuris’s mental strength, that shouldn’t happen, but it’s said that those who use illusion magic too much sometimes can’t distinguish between illusion and reality.

I couldn’t just sit back and watch her health deteriorate because of the illusions I created.

‘I’ll manage it myself, but you never know.’

Of course, I didn’t think Yuris would experience such a thing.

However.

‘It’s a bit worrisome that she brought someone who looks like a guest from the palace to our shop.’

That woman appeared to be an elf.

A noble elf at that.

She must have come as a guest of the Emperor for some reason.

To bring someone like that to a place like this.

‘I did soundproof the place somewhat.’

But her sensitive elf ears would definitely have heard it.

“Ooooh! Ooh! Huhhh!!!”

Yuris’s ecstatic cries echoed as she left.

Just one hour.

Yuris, who hadn’t even had sex and had only engaged in foreplay, still left with a rather satisfied expression.

To think that someone who was once the goddess of victory for the Empire would indulge in such a deviation with an important guest.

“Have we already reached the boundary point?”

It felt too fast.

If not, there must have been a reason for her to bring that elf along.

‘I just don’t get it.’

Just as I was thinking that and lay down to sleep.

Knock, knock, knock.

I doubted my ears at the sound of knocking.

“Who could it be at this hour…?”

It was already midnight.

Just past the witching hour.

Is there really a customer coming at this time?

If so, they definitely wouldn’t be an ordinary citizen of the Empire.

At this hour, everyone should be heading home, and the bars and entertainment districts would be winding down.

That means, surely.

‘A robber?’

No way, right?

What kind of robber would politely knock on the door?

From outside, I felt an aura that was too pure and clean to belong to a robber.

“Oh, it’s that elf from earlier.”

It was an aura that felt refreshing just by sensing it.

I threw on a robe to cover myself and headed to the door.

And there she was.

“I’ve been waiting for a while. Inferior being.”

The beautiful platinum-haired elf was glaring at me with her arms crossed.

“…What brings you here?”

“I came to ask you something.”

“What could you possibly want to ask at this late hour?”

“You, what exactly did you do to Lady Yuris?”

“Excuse me?”

“Why did that noble knight come looking for you to satisfy her lust?”

“……”

What on earth is she talking about?

“Lady Yuris is a superior being, unlike you inferior beings. Just like us elves. I can’t believe someone like her would come looking for you to resolve her sexual desires.”

Yuris is indeed a remarkable person.

A being that represents the Empire’s victory.

But what does that have to do with her coming to our shop?

“Did you think I wouldn’t know? Do you think I wouldn’t know what happened behind the curtain?”

“I didn’t think you would be unaware.”

That’s why I was worried about Yuris.

“Let Yuris go. I don’t know what kind of schemes you’re using to keep her, but someone like you doesn’t deserve to be near her.”

“……”

Hmm, that’s a bit difficult.

How do I explain that it’s not me who’s holding her captive?

It’s clear that if I speak the truth, she won’t believe me.

– Don’t be ridiculous! Lady Yuris came to find you on her own? That’s laughable!

I could see that kind of reaction coming.

“Sexual desire is one of the three basic human instincts.”

“I can’t understand that. You’re saying such a vulgar desire is a basic instinct?”

“Just like when you’re hungry, you eat, and when you can’t breathe, you breathe; if you don’t satisfy your desires, they build up, and when they accumulate, they must be released, which is exactly what sexual desire is.”

In fact, it was closer to reproductive desire, but isn’t that essentially the same?

“…… So you’re saying that Yuris is just a criminal who couldn’t overcome her desires?”

“Lady Yuris is also human.”

“Ha! That’s a laugh! Lady Yuris is not a being that can be broken by mere desires!”

Well.

“I have a different opinion.”

“What?”

“Desires are elements that must be resolved to live and are the driving force for survival. All living beings possess them. Even elves like Reyna are no exception.”

“If you don’t want to see her get hurt, it would be best for you to keep your mouth shut.”

The moment I placed elves and humans on the same level, her expression turned sinister.

“Of course. Elves are a superior race that shouldn’t even attempt to stand shoulder to shoulder with humans!”

I’ve heard elves say such things.

They have such pride in their race that they would rather isolate themselves in the forest than mingle with other races.

But if I said that, I’d likely get shot with a glare, so I held back.

“Do you not realize that the very fact that I’m having a conversation with an inferior being like you is disgusting?”

“I don’t know about that, but if you’re so confident, how about a wager?”

“A wager?”

“Yes. Show me that elves are not a race that succumbs to desires, but a noble race.”

“Is that all you could come up with?”

Reyna glared at me with her arms crossed.

“How do I prove that?”

“It’s simple. If you can withstand my illusion magic properly, I will acknowledge that elves are a race not bound by desires.”

“You’re so confident, yet it’s just illusion magic?”

“That’s my specialty.”

“I thought you had some secret weapon, but you’re just an illusionist. You must have definitely found a weakness through some vile trick.”

I knew this would happen.

I knew she would misunderstand in such a ridiculous way.

“Fine. I accept that wager. But if I prove it, you should let Lady Yuris go. Someone like you shouldn’t be near her.”

“Understood. But if I win, you must become a customer of our shop.”

“…… What?”

“Even though it looks like a decent shop, our income is a bit tight.”

“You inferior beings sure know how to talk fast. Fine, I’ll accept that offer. After all, it’s a wager I’m sure to win.”

“Well then, since the discussion is over, please come in.”

I led her, who was smirking, into the shop.

And pointed to a room filled with magic circles.

“Please answer the survey sincerely here.”

“What is this…?”

“It’s a magic circle for one illusion spell. It will be the item that leads our elf lady to the desires of illusion.”

“……”

She stared at the magic circle for a moment.

While her mind was wandering, I handed Reyna the survey paper.

“Please write it down.”

Reyna’s brows furrowed as she received the paper.

“Wait a minute.”

“What is it?”

“Why is there a question asking if I’m a virgin?”

“It’s a necessary procedure. I can’t just pierce through a precious virgin with my illusion magic.”

“…… You can’t be serious…”

“Just so you know, Lady Yuris is definitely a virgin.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“……”

Reyna closed her mouth.

“A pure woman, huh. I knew it…”

She muttered.

But is it really true that Yuris is a pure woman?

Her body may be pure.

‘But mentally, she’s already been violated countless times.’

Of course, her body is a virgin, so that’s true.

But I suddenly wondered if that would still count as a virgin by elven standards.

‘By their standards, it seems like even a spirit would have to be a virgin.’

But looking at Reyna’s expression, it didn’t seem like that was the only standard.

“Anyway, it would be best to write down your preferences properly. That way, it will be comfortable for both you and me.”

If I wrote down false desires, it would clearly lead to trouble in various ways.

The reason is simple.

There’s a possibility that the magic circle would go haywire if it realizes the user’s desires are not genuine.

All sorts of preferences could come out in the search for desires.

Well, elves probably wouldn’t lie about such things, but you never know.

“Please write honestly.”

“I know!”

Reyna shouted and soon handed me the survey paper.

“There were a lot of strange questions, but since it’s a wager, I filled it out seriously. I hope your magic works as well as I filled it out.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

My magic is always reliable.

Receiving the paper and checking it, I looked at Reyna.

‘Huh?’

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, really.”

I looked again at the part where Reyna wrote her ideal type.

– Who do you consider your ideal type?

– Yuris.

Those three characters were all there was.

“… Is this all for your ideal type?”

“Is that a problem? Is it something humans can’t understand?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Is it a problem that there’s too little information?

No, it’s more that the Yuris I know and the Yuris Reyna knows are definitely different.

The Yuris, Reyna knows, is the goddess of victory who never loses.

But the Yuris I know is one who has become addicted to defeat.

So what kind of Yuris should I show?

No.

What kind of Yuris will the magic circle try to show?

I was faced with a situation where I had to adjust that gap well to show Reyna.

It would be a video with a certain level of difficulty.

“Well, let’s get started for now.”

Having finished my thoughts, I snapped my fingers, and at that moment, the magic circle activated.

***

When Reyna opened her eyes again, she realized the scenery around her had changed.

When she opened her eyes again, the place that appeared was.

“Is this a bathhouse…?” 

The bathhouse was one of the facilities created by humans that she somewhat liked.
