I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

Chapter 43: The Gallery Is... Service Termination! (1)

“Ian!!!…I, I like you!!!”

Yuris’ sudden confession still made my heart pound.

Of course, I had always heard Yuris say, “Master, I like you” during sex…

But receiving a confession face to face, being called by name, was entirely different in its impact.

“…I should sleep.”

I checked the clock; it was already 6:30 AM.

I decided to give up on the morning lecture and take a break.

But if I didn’t sleep now, there was a high chance I wouldn’t be able to wake up in the afternoon.

“Sigh… Let’s really go to sleep.”

The moment I muttered to myself and closed my eyes.

“….?”

I found myself standing in an unfamiliar space.

“Kyaaa!! Ian!!”

Before I could even be surprised, Elise, appearing in front of me, spread her arms wide and shouted.

“I, Elise, welcome Ian’s second visit!”

Boom-! Puff puff boom-!

Colorful fireworks burst out like rockets behind Elise.

“….”

This was my second time facing Elise.

But I still couldn’t get used to Elise’s appearance.

A goddess with an unreal beauty that seemed to captivate me if I lost focus for a moment.

But more important than that was something else.

‘…The state of… the clothes?’

It had already been incredible at our first meeting…

But this time, the outfit was even more astonishing.

In fact, I doubted if it could even be called clothes.

The goddess wore a translucent leotard, barely covering her nipples with one bandage on each and another on her private part.

“Uh?… Ian? My face is over here.”

“…Sorry.”

“Hehehe! I’m just joking! I wore this hoping you’d look! How is it? Do you like it?”

“….”

Could there be any man who disliked such attire?

But anything I said seemed disrespectful to the goddess.

“Uh… Don’t you like it? I chose it to match Ian’s sexual preferences… Should I have chosen a full-body restraint instead…?”

“I like it very much. It suits you perfectly, goddess.”

I quickly responded, fearing that staying silent might expose unknown secret desires.

“Hmm…? Goddess…? Boo… Ian? Didn’t we agree to call me Elise last time? Are you trying to deceive me, Elise?”

With her hands on her hips, Elise pouted as if offended.

“…No….Lady…Elise….”

“Haa… Are you going to be my husband, Ian? In a way, I’m like your fiancée, right? If you can’t even call your fiancée’s name, how will that work?”

“…Sorry.”

“Huhuhut! Really~ Don’t apologize so seriously! It’s just a joke! I told you I enjoy our relationship’s slow progress.”

Elise smiled broadly and understandingly, then changed the topic.

“So, how was Yuris? Were you satisfied? I think she must have been a delight to devour, having the blood of the succubus clan… Ah! Compared to Evelyn, which one suits your taste more?”

“…Both Evelyn and Yuris are more than I deserve.”

I sincerely believed that.

Becoming the man of two women was truly an overflowing joy.

“Hmm…?”

Flap-!

At that moment, Elise, with her pure white wings, fluttered and spoke with an angry voice.

“No way!! Ian!! That’s not a good thought!! There are no women too good for Ian!! You are the most important person in the world right now!! Even the emperor of the empire! The elders of the elves! The leaders of the beastmen! The king of the demons! Compared to Ian, they are nothing! Ian must properly realize this! Do you understand?!”

“…Yes.”

I could only nod, overwhelmed by Elise’s imposing manner, which seemed to brook no rebuttal.

“Good!! Then remember this! I am always right!!”

“…Yes?”

“Hurry up! Say, ‘I am always right!’”

“…I am always right…”

“Louder! Shout it with all your sincerity!!”

“I am always right!!”

“Good! Ian is always right! Even if you use the confessional like a ‘Glory Hole’! Even if you make a saint candidate perform ahegao double peace signs!! Even if you command while thrusting, ‘Say my manhood is better than the goddess!!’ All of it is right and correct because Ian says so!!”

“….”

I hadn’t done the last thing, but…

It seemed Elise had seen everything.

“…Um…Elise…”

“Yes! Ian!! What is it?”

“I’m sorry… for using the confessional… like that…”

“Ian!! Didn’t I just say it!! Ian is always right!! That includes me, Elise!! Using the confessional like a Glory Hole? Thinking of devouring me, Elise, while using Evelyn like an onahole? What does that even matter!! From the beginning, Ian doing as he pleases is the right answer!! Do you understand!!”

“…Yes.”

I hadn’t done the latter, but I still answered.

Then Elise, narrowing her eyes, brought her hand to her ear and asked again.

“Hmm…I can’t hear well… Really~?”

“Yes! I am always right!”

“Huhuhuhut! Great! I’m very satisfied with Ian’s confident appearance! So then…”

─Swish!

Elise waved her hand, and a female mannequin about 170cm tall appeared.

“Here, Ian! Please do to this doll what you think is right!”

“…?”

Though she had said it was a mannequin, the one in front of me wasn’t ordinary.

While its facial features and critical body parts weren’t properly implemented, it almost looked like a real person.

And more importantly…

On various parts of the mannequin’s body, ‘scores’ were written like targets.

“Come on! Hurry! Do what you think is right, Ian!!”

“….”

(Nosebleed trigger: 80 points)

(Cheek slap: 85 points)

(Solar plexus: 75 points)

(Throat choke: 95 points)

(Uterus punch: 100 points)

(Private kick: 90 points)

These were the types of scores visibly displayed.

‘…Is this right?’

Logically, aiming for 100 points would make sense, but the target was the uterus.

Choosing to target the solar plexus or cheek seemed riskier, although their scores were lower than those of the uterus.

“Come on! Hurry! Ian!”

“Sigh…”

Heeding Elise’s plea, I let out a deep sigh and clenched my fist.

‘…That’s right! It’s just a doll anyway!’

Thwack!

The realism of the impact was so vivid that it almost felt like hitting an actual person, triggering a wave of guilt.

Thump- Thump- Thump-

No…

It wasn’t merely guilt.

“Ahh?!♥”

This was unlike the time in my childhood when I had accidentally hit Evelyn in the stomach…

I experienced a peculiar thrill watching the mannequin clutch its stomach and tremble.

“Haa… Haa…”

I panted heavily, a strange sensation stirring within me.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

“Perfect! 100 points! As expected of Ian! Such decisiveness, even with a doll! You’re the best! My eyes were not mistaken!”

Elise clapped her hands with the glee of a child.

“Here! This is a special reward for scoring 100 points! It’s the [Lucky Sukebe Potion] I made myself. It will certainly be a dangerous asset for Ian!”

Elise produced a small glass bottle filled with a pumpkin-colored liquid from between her breasts.

[Lucky Sukebe Potion]

The name alone hinted at the potential effects of consuming it.

I was deeply appreciative, but…

“Elise… Are you really okay with this? Doesn’t creating something like this drain your destiny power?”

“Ugh!… You’re quick to notice. Yes, you’re right… Actually, making this potion consumed a significant amount of the destiny power you’ve built up until now… To be frank, it’s a loss…”

Elise’s voice faltered, and her wings drooped.

“But! This is an investment in the future! It’s my—Elise’s—heart wishing for Ian’s success! So, for me! For the sake of saving the world! Please work even harder! And conquer as many women as you can!”

Squeeze─

The [Lucky Sukebe Potion] Elise handed to me still retained the warmth from her chest.

“…Understood, Elise.”

“Huhuhut! Great! Now, Ian, there’s not much time left. Shall we get to the main point?”

I had thought it was wrapping up, but it seemed the main part hadn’t even started.

“Hem hem… First, I’ll start with a compliment! As expected of Ian! I was surprised by the ignored play that wasn’t in the conquest method… Above all, you are conquering females much faster than expected! I thought I would have to wait three months to see Ian again, but here we are so soon! I’m deeply moved!”

“Uh? It’s not just whenever you call; there are conditions to come here?”

“Yes! I would love to see Ian every day, but… it would waste too much destiny power. So, I’ve firmly decided to invite you here only when Ian ‘levels up’! Of course, this time as well!”

“Level up?”

“Yes! Once you return, Ian’s ‘Gallery Manager’ abilities will grow to another stage! Additional effects will also be added, of course.”

That was quite good news.

Truth be told, the ability of the Gallery Manager was limited to ‘finding out the true names of fixed nicks’.

This excluded the ability to find out the true names of fluid nicknames, which was due to the severe side effect of not being able to get an erection for three days.

Beyond that, it was really just abilities used for ‘gallery management,’ like ‘block’ and ‘unblock.’

“What additional effects…”

“Huhut! It’s a secret! It wouldn’t be fun if I told you everything. I’ll leave it as a pleasure for Ian to discover. Check it out when you return!”

“Understood. So… is this the end?”

“No, there’s one more thing.”

Swoosh─

At that moment, Elise came close enough for me to feel her breath and whispered in my ear.

“…I, Elise, am also looking forward to the day I offer my virginity to Ian.♥”

“Ah…!”

Was it the power of the succubus clan that Elise had been suppressing, now slightly leaking out?

Suddenly, my manhood stood erect, and pre-ejaculate overflowed.

“Huhuhut! Now, in the name of the goddess of love and discipline, may Ian be blessed!”

Whoosh─

The bright light that had enveloped my body vanished, and as I looked around, I noticed the sunset outside the window.

“Huh?… Sunset?”

It was 7 PM.

The current time.

“…This is bad.”

It spelled trouble in two ways.

First, there was the academy, but…

▶[You have (48) unchecked notifications!]

“Sigh…”

A sigh escaped me as I checked the accumulating notifications.

Wondering if it might be another tactical nuke or something, I opened the gallery with trepidation, and then…
