The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 273
Chapter 273 – Side Story: Birthday Banquet – 7
I opened my eyes, feeling the foreign body pressing against my body. My head was wrapped in something soft. It was a familiar feeling. I could guess what it was.
I grabbed the pudding-like chest that covered the two heads and pushed it aside. The heavy, mass-like object opened to the side, brightening my vision. When I looked around, I saw the bedroom that had been set up in the banquet hall.
“Ugh… … Child, that’s right. If you hold it too hard, it’ll be difficult… … .”
A voice came from above, not at all out of my expectation. I pulled my head out from between the chests to check where I was.
I was sitting on Erestica’s thigh. Judging from the fact that I didn’t feel any soreness despite waking up in a place like this, it seems she was quite careful to make sure I wasn’t uncomfortable.
If he had wanted to make it comfortable from the beginning, he would have laid her down on the bed instead of having her sit on his lap.
“Where am I… … ugh.”
“Are you okay, kid?!”
As I tried to get up, I felt dizzy for a moment and my body swayed. Erestica grabbed my waist urgently. Her strong hands forcibly lifted me up and placed me back on her thighs.
When I used healing magic, my head felt a little clearer. I don’t know why, but I felt like I had some kind of bad symptom.
“It’s okay. I just felt dizzy for a moment.”
I followed Erestica’s lead obediently. There was no reason to refuse at this time. Erestica seemed to be surprised by my actions, so she laughed softly and patted my head.
I raised my head. Erestica’s face, her back of head buried deep in the soft valley, looked down at me with a maternal smile. Her yellow vertical pupils were dripping with affection and lust.
“You should have drunk in moderation, kid. You’ll lose all your appetite. Be careful.”
“… … What on earth happened?”
“First, tell me how much the child remembers. I will explain from there. I saw everything just fine.”
I took a moment to recall my memories.

After a brief ‘meeting’ with Nika lasting about 30 minutes, the Emperor quickly sorted out the situation in an awkward atmosphere. However, the atmosphere did not change that easily.
It was understandable, as the Succubus Queen suddenly appeared and took my son away, only to return him 30 minutes later.
His parents seemed unsure of how to start the conversation, and Diana and Trisha looked at him as if they wanted him to tell them what had happened right away. Geumseong looked slightly surprised. It was unclear what had surprised him.
Kang Yu-na’s face was one of shock, while the rest reacted as if they knew it would happen. It was further evidence that Nika’s appearance was something that had been agreed upon in advance.
“… … In order to lighten the mood, His Majesty the Emperor suggested a drinking party. Now that I think about it, I think it was because I needed to be isolated in order to sort out the situation.”
“You hit the nail on the head.”
At first, I took a step back, thinking that I could not dare do that to His Majesty the Emperor, but when I heard the old man’s provocation that it was completely understandable if he was scared, I was dumbfounded and participated.
and…….
“… … I don’t remember anything after that.”
It probably wouldn’t have been an easy ending. There must have been a lot of preparations and arrangements. But it would have been impossible to force the Emperor to take his son.
If you take advantage of that time to sort out the situation, you can do anything you want. The Emperor may have been aiming for that when he made the suggestion.
“You really don’t remember, kid?”
But Erestica narrowed her eyes slightly at my words. Her eyes, once filled with affection and lust, turned mischievous.
“Even after spending such a crazy night?”
“A night of madness. Why are you so anxious?”
“I think if you ask the kids next to you, you’ll get the answer.”
The arms that were holding me loosened slightly. I turned around. Leona, Latina, and Priscilla were sprawled out on the large bed, sleeping in various positions.
Latina and Leona were sleeping in a close embrace, while Priscilla was curled up on her side, seemingly holding something like a piece of clothing in her hand.
Even though she was covered with a blanket, I could guess what she was wearing underneath by looking at her bare shoulders.
“What happened?”
“What happened? I think you can tell just by looking at it.”
Laura opened the door at the perfect time and came out, answering instead. Behind her, she could see the steamy bathroom, and she was wearing a shower gown with her hair still damp.
As always, the atmosphere was confident, but I felt a little awkward, so I looked at it a little more carefully. The gait was a little strange. If I had to give an example, it would be like when your butt hurts, like that-
“… … .”
“You look like you finally figured it out. Your guess was right.”
Laura chuckled. It seemed like she had no intention of hiding it from the beginning.
“I know it’s late to say this, but couldn’t you have been a little more gentle? My rear hole still hurts. Even with healing magic, I can’t even imagine how roughly I must have been treated.”
If that’s the kind of reaction you get, it’s not hard to guess what happened with the three people lying in bed and Erestica.
I looked up. Now I felt like I knew the source of the maternal love and lust that filled those yellow vertical pupils. It was an emotion that could never have come from simply looking down at me while I was sleeping.
“… …Is it the same for Erestica too?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. I just fed the baby milk so that it wouldn’t get upset. Of course, the baby fed me milk too.”
It wasn’t hard to figure out what he meant. I wondered what he had been doing after drinking.
I didn’t know because I’ve never drank to the point of blacking out, but maybe I’m the type that turns into a dog and rolls around when I drink. I promised myself that from now on, I’ll definitely use my healing magic on time.
‘How much did you drink?’
Even when the other seven rushed at Erestica and were all knocked out, I managed to hold on somehow. It wouldn’t have happened with just a few. There was no way the Emperor could win that day.
“Still, it wasn’t so bad. I realized that if I wanted to be rough, I could just give him alcohol. Even if he got torn, he could always recover.”
“I don’t eat it.”
“Do you think they’ll let us not eat it?”
As soon as Laura finished speaking, she collapsed back on the bed and fell asleep as soon as she said she needed to close her eyes for a moment. Her hair was already completely dry by magic.
“You look very tired. It must be because you worked yourself to death last night. Hehe, I don’t know who it was because of.”
“… … That’s right.”
With those words, I was caught by Erestica again, and after chatting away for a while, I was finally able to leave the bedroom after almost an hour.
“Are you feeling well, Young Master?”
Beatrice, who was standing next to the door, bowed her head as if she had been waiting. She had returned from her party dress to her usual maid outfit.
“Have you been waiting? Keep going?”
“It’s something I should do as a maid serving my master. There’s absolutely no need to feel sorry, so please rest assured.”
Beatrice, reading the expression, struck the player. I stopped trying to apologize and stroked her head with my hand, which was at a loss. This time, Beatrice flinched.
After a while, her head slightly bowed forward. Lately, Beatrice seems to be becoming more emotional. In the past, Beatrice was only flustered, worried, expressionless, and a little playful.
“Still, it’s a shame.”
“What are you talking about?”
“The party dress. It was so pretty, but why did you keep wearing it?”
“That, that… … !”
I had no tolerance for this kind of thing, so I enjoyed teasing her. After nearly 20 years, I was so proud to see her react like a normal person, not like the ‘Chief Chamberlain Beatrice’ she always talked about.
“If your Majesty wishes, I will let you wear it again.”
Then, I was met with an unexpected counterattack. Beatrice looked up at me and said this.
I froze for a moment and then smiled lightly, saying that I would wait. Then, I heard a strange sound.
“What about other people?”
“Who are you talking about?”
There were quite a few other people.
From small groups like Rosaria, Elisier, and Karna, to larger groups like Diana and Trisha, to larger groups like Kang Yuna and Geomseong, and even larger groups like the Emperor. As for the others, well, their parents would have taken care of it.
“Starting with Rosaria and Elisier.”
“They must be drinking tea in the backyard. The two of you are sleeping separately in different rooms.”
I was about to ask why he was sleeping alone, but I held back. It would be a bit strange to fall asleep next to him while such things were happening inside.
“He said it was a little like that when he was drunk.”
Judging from what I said, I don’t think he had any intention of doing it with me. We both knew what he meant, but we pretended not to know for each other’s sake.
“Okay. Your parents will be away… …and your older sister and younger sister?”
“He left for a moment with a woman named Kang Yu-na.”
“Your Majesty, too?”
“No. He stayed at the banquet hall until the very end, but I returned to assist the young master after that, so I don’t know for sure. I’m sorry.”
He tried to comfort me, saying that there was no need to apologize. Beatrice followed behind me as if nothing had happened. It couldn’t have been a lie, and since I said I was okay, it must have been closer to being really okay.
First, I decided to go to the backyard where Rosaria and Elisier were. I wanted to hear about what happened at the drinking party.
‘……huh?’
When we arrived at the backyard, we saw an unexpected sight. Next to Elisier and Rosaria, there were three more people.
It was Diana, Trisha, and Kang Yuna.
Just as I was wondering why those five were together, Rosaria spotted me and waved her hand slightly. Judging from how cautious she was, she seemed to be acting like a saint.
“Hey, what are you?”
As soon as I got closer, Diana said this.
“why?”
“Why, Rani? Are you saying something like that now? You became friends with the saintess and went with the demon? And the succubus queen at that?”
“Nothing happened. I just did exactly as you said and that was the end of it.”
Diana snorted.
“A man disappeared with a succubus queen and nothing happened? You don’t expect me to believe that, do you?”
“Is it true that you are telling me to believe you?”
“Well done.”
It was a situation where I wouldn’t believe anyone who came.
It is widely known, and has even been written about in novels, how much influence a succubus can have on a male body, and Nika is the queen of such succubi.
It was even more so when I came back and saw that his legs had momentarily lost their strength.
But what can I do? If they just deny it and say nothing happened, that’ll be the end of it. Since there’s no evidence, they’ll just be suspicious but won’t be able to go any further than questioning me.
“But why is that person here?”
When I pointed at Kang Yu-na, Kang Yu-na, who was already frozen, shrank down. Diana said with an expression as if asking why she was asking such a thing.
“Oh, Unnie Yuna?”
“… … Sister Yuna?”
