Witch Taming System-Chapter 72: Proposal [1]

Ishtar had always known Mei was eccentric. She may have appeared aloof and socially inept on the surface, but beneath that exterior was a completely crazy woman.

While the two of them were family and friends, it would be too much to say they actually got along.

Because they didn’t.

So when Mei suddenly and shamelessly proposed the idea of doing it with Lancel as well, right out of the blue, and right in front of her at that, it left Ishtar in deep shock.

"Lancel, p-put your pants back on!" Ishtar screamed.

Lancel was of no help either. He kept standing there with his sword dangling openly as if it wasn’t strange at all to be naked in front of Mei.

And maybe to him it really wasn’t.

Ishtar wasn’t sure just how far their relationship had gone, but it was clear they were close enough that Lancel felt no embarrassment about keeping his lower body completely exposed in front of her.

Either that or Lancel was also a crazy bastard.

"Uh..."

But the real reason Lancel hadn’t put his pants back on yet was because his cock was still too drenched and sticky with their combined fluids.

Noticing that, Ishtar quickly snapped her fingers.

———!

All of a sudden, a burst of water splashed onto Lancel’s entire body, drenching him from head to toe.

"What the hell?!"

"Huh?!"

Ishtar stared at her hands in confusion. It was strange. She was certain she had calculated the proper amount of mana and power for the spell. It was supposed to be just enough water to clean his dick, not a whole bucket pouring down on him.

"S-Sorry... I didn’t mean—"

"You thought you put the right amount of mana, didn’t you?" Mei asked, looking straight at Ishtar.

"Yeah, I must be too nervous because of you!"

"No, that’s not it, Ishtar."

Mei snapped her fingers and instantly dried Lancel off completely. Lancel took the chance to quickly pull his pants back on.

Then Mei stepped past him and stopped right in front of Ishtar. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I knew there was something strange. Something similar happened to me after Assistant Lancel and I did the deed."

"W-What are you talking about?" Ishtar asked.

Even Lancel was now looking at Mei with curiosity.

Mei casually pointed her thumb behind her at Lancel.

"It’s just my theory... but I think Assistant Lancel’s semen has special properties that amplify our womb."

"Huh?"

"So that’s the case?"

Ishtar could only tilt her head at those bizarre words while Lancel stood there thinking about it deeply.

"B-But doesn’t that mean his sperm has infiltrated my womb?!" Ishtar squealed. "W-Wait, how is that even possible?! Master told me only us witches get to decide whether to let sperm in or not! D-Does this mean I’m going to get pregnant?!"

"Calm down," Mei said. "That’s not it. I’ve already verified it myself. It’s not the semen exactly that travels straight into our womb, but the mana associated with it. Assistant Lancel’s semen seems to have an absurd amount of mana and some sort of property that tampers with our circuits."

In simpler terms, witches became more proficient.

"...."

Hearing those words, Ishtar recalled the events that had transpired in the lecture hall a week ago, when Mei had suddenly shown mastery over transmutation despite the misinputs.

If what Mei was saying made any sense, it would explain her sudden growth.

"How much time did you even spend analyzing all of this... Miss Mei?" Lancel asked.

"After I woke up and found you had already left, I had plenty of time to think. First, your semen left my entire room smelling sticky and fishy. I had to ventilate the air with three different fresheners, but it still wouldn’t go away. In the end, I had to use a perfume-based spell I bought. That’s when I noticed even the air was thick with mana."

"Okay, okay. Enough with the smell!" Lancel said quickly. "So basically, if I... ejaculate inside a witch, that witch in turn becomes... stronger?"

"More like amplified," Mei corrected. "It’s as if my mana suddenly became purer and my efficiency grew exponentially. That’s why... Assistant Lancel, I feel a bit disappointed you did it with Ishtar."

"...Why is that?"

"I thought I could keep this advantage to myself and eventually become better than her."

"Hey!" Ishtar yelled. "Just what the hell is going on here?! Now that I think about it, how could you, Mei, even do something like this?! What will Big Sis Cyrene say if she finds out?!"

Mei tilted her head and spoke in her usual matter-of-fact tone.

"Are you even hearing yourself, Ishtar? You took his thing inside your mouth and sucked on it like a lollipop. Even I’ve never gone that far."

"Wha..."

Ishtar’s face turned bright red, the embarrassment hitting her even harder. The fact that Mei had seen everything left her completely speechless. She had no comeback at all.

Ishtar grabbed onto her hair in frustration and turned to Lancel with an accusing look.

"Anyway! How does this even make sense?! Are you some kind of special experiment, Lancel?!"

Her accusations made sense in her own head. After all, Lancel had mentioned that his citizenship was classified as "research asset."

Of course, there were other people in the city who fell into the same category, each with some special quirk that caught a witch’s interest enough to register them and keep them under watch.

"I don’t even know how it happened..." Lancel muttered.

Mei tapped her chin thoughtfully before speaking.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he can use magic?"

"Huh?"

"M-Mei, you weren’t supposed to..."

"It’s fine. It’s just Ishtar," Mei said calmly. "Plus, you’ve already done the deed with her. So I have a proposal. If we’re going to take advantage of this, why not just do it together?"

Lancel looked confused for a moment before he realized exactly what Mei was implying.

He swallowed deeply, feeling his cock twitch inside his pants at the idea.

"Do what together?" Ishtar asked, still not catching on.

"If we’re going to keep having sex with Lancel, we’ll have to share him equally."
