Yuuto had just finished making the contract to take Lizel, Miyabi and Reina as his Cards.
As such, all the 4 people currently present in Lovers' Palace's bedroom were in their underwear. Lizel, Yuuto's Queen, had suggested they might as well make use of this situation to get everyone familiar with Healing Lovers.
"I believe everyone here already knows this, but I'll explain it again just in case. Healing Lovers is Lovers' Characteristic Magic. What it does is basically recover the mana and heal the magic circuits of the participants."
Miyabi, the now Princess of Lovers' team, raised her hand, indicating she had a question. Lizel told her to ask it.
"How come senpai knows all that? Shouldn't it be Yuuto who's explaining it to us?"
Even Yuuto himself realized that. Even though he's the Devil King Candidate, Lizel seems to know more about Lovers than him.
Granted, he basically didn't know about devils and magic and everything else until not too long ago, but it still seemed strange how a complete outsider like Lizel knew more than he did.
"That… my family has a history of getting the Lovers Arcana in the Devil King War, so I merely read up on the records that had been left."
That explanation seemed to satisfy the curiosity of both Miyabi and Yuuto. Yuuto had no way to know that, but Miyabi and Reina, both noble devils, knew it was true.
Very rarely will a Devil King Arcana end up with someone other than a noble. And amongst those, some Arcanas seemed to have preferences for certain families, case in point, the Himekami house has received the Lovers Arcana more times than any other family. It wouldn't be strange if there were indeed some records left.
However, Lizel telling the truth and answering the question truthfully were 2 separate matters. But that is something best left for later.
"In any case, it is fair to say that Healing Lovers will be very important for us going forward. If nothing else, it'll allow Yuuto to train harder than normally possible. That's why I think we should use this chance to practice it."
"What exactly will we do desu?"
Reina, now Knight of Lovers, asked. Lizel had explained this to her before, so she knew what Healing Lovers entailed, but how would one practice it?
"I believe the best way to practice something is to actually do it, plus Yuuto isn't entirely healed yet. So we will all take turns performing Healing Lovers with Yuuto."
"B-but, won't that be embarrassing, Lizel-senpai?"
"At the start, it'll surely be. But we all have to get used to it as soon as possible, so there's no helping it."
Yuuto loudly gulped. He once again looked around the room to take in the sight of the 3 girls present.
All of them in their underwear. They were all quite beautiful and Yuuto would be lying if he said he had no dirty thoughts, but he had no real experience with girls.
He didn't know whether to feel frightened or excited, but his hands were slightly shaking.
Regardless, there was no way Yuuto was taking the initiative here. That's why Lizel took that role upon herself.
"Then, I'll go first in order to guide Yuuto and show an example to Miyabi and Reina. P-pay attention."
Unexpectedly, Lizel was also embarrassed, but she couldn't back down now after all she said. She remembered the previous day when she did Healing Lovers with Yuuto, and also a few events from her past. That allowed her to calm down enough to take charge.
Of course, she needed to get close to Yuuto to perform Healing Lovers. If not for the 2 onlookers, the scene would have looked almost romantic.
"Let's start, Yuuto."
"Y-yes, Lizel-senpai."
Lizel took Yuuto's hands and guided them to her breasts. Just that was already enough for Yuuto's face to grow red like a tomato. It put a small slime on Lizel's face, as she thought Yuuto's reaction to be cute.
Lizel still wore her black underwear. It wasn't exactly the sexy type, but the girl wearing it certainly made it seem so. Yuuto at least couldn't deny the effects it had on him.
Yuuto's hands felt calming to Lizel. She could feel as if the world's weight was being lifted from her shoulders. If she was being honest, she'd rather get Yuuto in direct contact, but she wasn't just yet ready to show her naked breasts with Miyabi and Reina around.
"Mm, I'm pretty sure I've told everyone before, but I'll say it again. There are a few conditions for Healing Lovers to activate. It has to be done between the Lovers Candidate and 1 or more Cards, and it needs physical contact. An, it works through the bond and feelings of lust shared by the participants, the greater those are, the greater effect Healing Lovers will have. Nn, our bonds with each other will grow naturally as we spend time together, as for lust… it can be arranged, aan!"
Yuuto found Lizel's face trying to hold back her moans so cute he stopped listening halfway through. He would ask Reina to tell him what he missed later.
He spaced out a bit, so his hands started moving on his own. Somehow, that translated into even more skill in massaging Lizel's breasts. Yuuto moved his hands not only in circular motion, but also as if he was squeezing something out.
"Mmm! Y-Yuuto!"
Admittedly, Lizel's bra was getting in Yuuto's way, and she would love nothing more than to take it out. She had no problem with showing Yuuto her breasts, but she wasn't quite prepared to expose herself to Miyabi and Reina, even though they're also girls.
It was as if this was something Yuuto was used to doing. It got to the point that even Miyabi and Reina started rubbing their legs unconsciously. It looked like the starting scene of some adult video.
"So senpai, that means we'll all have to do lewd stuff with Yuuto, right?"
"R-right. Not just us, but also all future Cards Yuuto might get, mmm!"
"W-waaa… R-Reina will do her best desu."
"Got it. Senpai, it looks like it feels really good. Is Yuuto that skilled? It looks like he's spacing out."
Innocent as Reina looked, no one could imagine the kind of things that went through her mind when Lizel confirmed they would all have to do this with Yuuto. This wasn't her first time hearing this, and she had agreed before, but there was still a big difference in seeing it live.
Miyabi meanwhile didn't hide her curiosity. She licked her lips in anticipation, as if just waiting for her turn. She wasn't the kind of girl that would just let anyone put their hands on her, but she had certain expectations of Yuuto.
"Geez, mm. Yuuto, you also have to, aaaan, l-listen properly."
"W-what? S-sorry, I think I spaced out a bit."
"We noticed. Ehehe, this looks like it'll be fun."
Miyabi seemed to be having fun, Reina had her hands covering her eyes, but her fingers were open so she could see through. Lizel was breathing hard, and that seemed strangely erotic.
Yuuto finally noticed the soft feeling on his hands. He looked to find that he was still massaging Lizel's breasts.
It took Yuuto's brain a second to process that information. When it finished, Yuuto's hands got stiff. It seemed that all that groping had come from his subconscious.
"I-I'm sorry, Lizel-senpai. I-I didn't mean to-"
"I-it's fine. Like I said, we all have to get used to it, so feel free to grab to your heart's content. T-though maybe you should go to either Miyabi or Reina now, it's no good to focus on only 1 of us."
There's no way Lizel could tell Yuuto he had almost made her cum just now, that's why she wanted a minute to recover. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to live down the embarrassment of being made to climax in front of her underclassman.
Luckily, Yuuto shouldn't have enough experience with women to do more than guess about Lizel's true intentions. She intended to take this secret to her grave.
"Senpai doesn't want Yuuto to know she almost made a puddle on the bed. But enough about that, my turn now."
Lizel gritted her teeth. She would remember that and wait for her chance to get revenge, which she expected would come soon.
Yuuto, inexperienced as he may be, could make a pretty educated guess with the hint Miyabi gave. But how should he react? Should he apologize? Should he feel happy?
In the end, he decided the best course of action was to pretend he didn't hear anything and just move on to Miyabi's turn.
"Come here, Yuuto. I know you're dying to do 'gyuu gyuu' with these already."
Miyabi was wearing pink underwear. It would have looked cute if not for her bombshell body that looked like it was about to burst out from inside her clothes.
"A-alright then. Here I go, Miyabi."
Mustering all his courage, Yuuto grabbed Miyabi's breasts out of his own free will.
But then he got as stiff as a machine that needed to be oiled. Even if he tried moving his hands like he was doing with Lizel, his body just wouldn't obey him.
"Why is Yuuto so 'cling cling' stiff? Just do like you did with senpai."
"E-even if you tell me that…"
Yuuto had only been on the passive side so far. Even just now, when he was groping Lizel's breasts, he was doing it unconsciously, so it didn't count.
This would become a problem if not solved soon, plus, Lizel saw this as a chance to get revenge on Miyabi.
So Lizel went behind Yuuto and covered his eyes with her hands. Of course, she made sure he could feel her body pressing on his back.
"L-Lizel-senpai?"
"It can't be helped that Yuuto's embarrassed at the start, so let's try to get your mind off of it. Forget what you're grabbing right now, let your instincts guide you and your body move on its own."
Yuuto also realized how important it was that he be able to use Healing Lovers when he needed to, so he decided to follow Lizel's advice.
Yuuto calmed his mind and tried to empty it. Let his body take over, it would know what to do. Yuuto just had to relax and enjoy the feeling.
"Senpai, will this even work? It's not like –aan."
Miyabi let out a moan even she didn't expect. Her chest was also starting to feel better little by little.
Doing as Lizel told him, Yuuto let his body do as it pleased while he only enjoyed the soft feeling. For some reason, that became an increase on his ability.
It was as if his body knew what it had to do. There's no way a teenage boy's body has this kind of instinct, is there? Could Yuuto be more experienced than he was letting on?
As Miyabi's breasts were bigger, they filled Yuuto's hands more than Lizel's. Yuuto could tell how soft they were even from over the bra.
"What is it, Miyabi? Could you be feeling something?"
"N-nothing, it's nothing."
Right now, Yuuto was focused on the feeling of the mana that was entering his body. It seemed that a different partner would give a different feel, even if it's all mana in the end.
From his hands, it felt like a bolt of electricity. From his back, like calming waters. Yuuto couldn't properly perceive the difference between Lizel and Miyabi's breasts at the moment, but he could definitely tell the difference in mana each one generated.
Yuuto focused on that. He could only control the feeling coming from his hands, and he wanted to make it feel as good as possible. After a little bit of trial and error, Yuuto seemed to be getting the hang of 'milking' better mana.
As for what was happening in the actual physical world, Yuuto's hands were handling Miyabi's breasts better than her own hands. Miyabi's saving grace was that her bra posed enough resistance, otherwise she doesn't know how long she'd be able to last.
"Mmm, aaa! T-that's-! Aaann!"
"Maybe I should let Yuuto go on a little while longer?"
"P-please don't. Stop, stop, Yuuto!"
Miyabi had to forcefully pull Yuuto's hands from her breasts. She was even a little out of breath, similar to how Lizel had been just before. Not that she had recovered much while watching.
Since Miyabi had done that, Lizel had stopped blocking Yuuto's vision. The sight that greeted him was of an out of breath Miyabi with her cheeks red while she held her chest.
"I-I was only focused on the feel of the mana, did I do something bad?"
"No, it's just that Miyabi was about to c-"
"R-Reina! That's right, Reina is feeling rather lonely over there."
"W-wawawawa!"
Everyone turned to look at Reina, and they all clearly saw the hand at her crotch, but decided to ignore it since she quickly put it away.
Embarrassed as she was, it seemed only fair that it would be Reina's turn now that both Lizel and Miyabi had gone. Resigning herself to her fate, Reina laid down on the bed and spread her arms, as if calling over Yuuto.
"P-please be gentle with Reina desu."
"R-right."
Reina's underwear was the most troublesome for Yuuto to look at. While Lizel and Miyabi's were normal and looked sexy because of the person wearing it, Reina's was sexy by itself.
Her underwear was purple in color, but its surface area was very small. Clearly, only the nipples were covered in the breasts, and the panties also only barely covered the front part. If Reina was to get in all fours, Yuuto would easily be able to see at least some of her 'backdoor'.
There was no way to have known they would be making the contract today, otherwise Lizel and Miyabi would have also 'come prepared'. So did Reina luck in or was this something she normally wore? No one had the courage to ask.
"I-I'll be starting now, Reina."
Reina nodded. There was nothing Yuuto could do now except as he was expected to do.
Yuuto didn't dare close his eyes and try to let his body take over, at least not now. Not only did Reina look really fragile, but even her underwear seemed like it would come off if he messed with it too much.
Unlike Miyabi and Lizel, Reina didn't provide Yuuto with much to grope on the chest department. He tried doing it like a massage, using both his palms to play with her chest, but he didn't know how effective that would be.
"Aaaan! Yuuto-san's hands are so big and rough desu."
Feeling a little complicated on the matter, Yuuto wanted to finish as soon as possible. Maybe he should just do like he did with Miyabi and simply search for the most effective method to get mana.
Closing his eyes, Yuuto started to grasp things in a way he hadn't before. Reina's mana felt calming, but also 'sharp' if Yuuto had to put it into words.
Unlike with Lizel and Miyabi, it seemed things wouldn't be as effective if Yuuto focused solely on Reina's breasts. So, he let only 1 hand on Reina's chest while the other massaged her belly.
After a few seconds, that hand went lower. It didn't go to her crotch, but rather her navel. Yuuto noticed something around Reina's neck area, but since both his hands were busy, he thought he'd use his mouth.
"Aaahhh! Reina is, Reina is-!"
That wasn't enough to break Yuuto's concentration. He didn't realize it at the time, but he was placing some kisses on Reina's neck.
Lizel and Miyabi seemed even a little amazed by the whole thing. It was to the point where they got closer without thinking, a mistake they'd soon regret.
Because they were so close, Yuuto 'detected' them as well. Since he wasn't acting consciously, but rather letting his body do as it pleased, he switched his targets.
"Kyaa!"
"W-wait, Yuuto!"
Yuuto grabbed the breasts of both Lizel and Miyabi. Since they had been so close to climax before, they needed to get away soon, but they couldn't muster the strength anymore.
They looked at Reina, she was the only one who could help them now, but it didn't seem like that would be the case. For one, Reina seemed to be in the same situation as Lizel and Miyabi.
"Y-Yuuto!"
"Aaaaann!"
"Yuuto-san!"
Somehow, after about a minute of figuring out how to get the best mana, Yuuto made the 3 of them go over the edge at the same time. It took him a second to realize it was over.
Once Yuuto stopped, he slowly opened his eyes. If he was being honest, he'd spaced out so much he had almost fallen asleep. Once his eyes were fully opened, he saw the scene of the 3 girls laying down beside each other while breathing hard.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Yuuto, from now on, you're forbidden to just, let your body take over like that."
Lizel put the ban on Yuuto, who was still having trouble believing what he was seeing, even if he could guess what happened. Even Yuuto was a little scared of his subconscious self.
Considering what had happened, Lizel figured they had practiced enough of Healing Lovers for now. The 3 girls needed to take a shower before putting on their clothes.
While in the shower, Lizel, Miyabi and Reina started wondering about a way to get back at Yuuto. Their chance would come after the Unveiling. Whether for better or for worse, Yuuto didn't find out about this until it became reality.
