Chapter 165: Be Cautious of Side Effects for New Products (1)
Since Seyra realized I had used the angel golem for sexual purposes, she couldn't bring herself to touch the golem's body anymore.
"I see why I couldn't detect it. This unit has no natural components; every material has been reprocessed from start to finish to remove mana."
In short, it was a body completely devoid of mana.
"The faint mana I felt from the body was… well, you know…"
"You don't need to explain."
Other than the mana from my semen, it seemed the golem had none at all.
"Even Ballor had a strong sex drive, but not to this extent…"
Wait, am I seriously being compared to that degenerate Ballor?
Granted, I doubt even Ballor would hand Seyra something covered in his semen, but still, isn't that comparison a bit much?
I'd say I'm pretty decent, all things considered.
"Do you have any special information?"
"For now, the artificial intelligence seems relatively undeveloped. Honestly, the combat golems were more difficult to deal with. Except for its aerial mobility, it can't perform more than one action at a time."
"But the units that attacked the White Rose Knights reportedly used refined swordsmanship, fighting on par with them."
"They likely had additional artificial intelligence installed. If you look here…"
Seyra and I continued analyzing the angel golem, but even after a long time, Frederica and Ballor hadn't arrived.
After about an hour of thoroughly inspecting the angel golem, Seyra drafted a brief report identifying weak points. She used her magic to send it directly to the Knights' strategy headquarters.
"Good work, Ban. Thanks to you, we should be able to respond quickly."
"They might counter with improved artificial intelligence, though."
"In that case, we can follow your example—corrupt the artificial intelligence we have from the Sytorax region so badly it's no longer capable of coherent thought. That way, it won't be usable for combat."
Well, completely corrupting artificial intelligence like I did might be tough, but that's for the mages to figure out.
"What should I do with this?"
"Handle it as you see fit."
"Isn't it a dangerous weapon?"
"I've made slight modifications to the AI to ensure it won't harm you or the kingdom while being dismantled. Don't worry."
So, do I need to disassemble and recycle it? Or…?
"Hm…"
With the intelligence device destroyed and the hassle of manually creating homunculus bodies to deal with AI being annoying, it seemed reasonable to use this as a body for the artificial intelligence.
"Got it."
As I wrapped the golem's body in cloth and slung it over my back, Seyra gave me an awkward smile.
"Ahem, so…"
"Please be mindful around me."
"I understand—it's unpleasant, right? I get it."
"It's not just about discomfort… it's a rather sensitive issue."
Honestly, if I had to report with something dripping semen, I'd feel grossed out too. Makes sense.
Click.
The door opened—not with a loud bang or a dramatic kick, but quietly. It looked like Frederica had arrived at the tower.
"What, is it over already?"
As expected, it was Frederica who walked in.
"Frederica Endymion. You're late."
"My hands were tied finishing up the new product. It's in the stabilization phase now, so Delphine's overseeing it."
"A new product?"
Oh, was she talking about that thing involving my mandragora?
"So, what do you need me to do?"
"Nothing."
"Well, if it's about golems, I guess there's nothing for me to do. Actually, that's perfect. Since I'm here, let's test the new product."
Rather than lingering in the awkward tension with Seyra, I figured it'd be better to leave with Frederica. I gave Seyra a polite nod and followed Frederica out of the tower.
"You're lucky. How'd you even pick up that golem?"
"Lucky? You call something that tried to kill me lucky?"
"If you're alive, then yeah, it's luck."
Frederica lightly smacked my ass with her tiny hand when she noticed my sour expression.
"Why the long face? Something bothering you?"
"I'm fine. Just feeling like a crazy guy who showed his boss semen…"
The memory of Seyra's troubled expression as she avoided touching the angel golem drained my energy.
How am I supposed to face her after this?
"Be careful with that. Especially around Seyra."
"Excuse me?"
"Dragons are fundamentally mana-based creatures. If the theory that mana can fertilize them holds true, just touching semen could cause them to split."
"I'm not following…"
"In extreme cases, touching semen with their skin could impregnate them."
"…That's ridiculous."
"Well, dragons are mysterious beings, once considered gods of the material realm. Their flesh is essentially just a construct of mana."
Man, if touching semen with your hand could get you pregnant, that'd be beyond unfair.
At least sex comes with pleasure. If someone got pregnant just from a stray drop of my semen touching their hand, that's just pure responsibility with no fun involved.
"Of course, with the overwhelming presence of a dragon, most people wouldn't even be able to get it up."
"Yeah… I suppose."
Well, I seem to have no issue getting hard around Seyra, but I'll keep that to myself.
"So, what's this new product?"
Frederica grinned.
"You'll see when we get there."

Frederica's Homunculus Workshop, Laboratory
Inside the lab, small glass jars hung on the walls, containing beautiful little mandragoras, like tiny fairies, soaking quietly in extracted solutions.
Well, they're plants, so it made sense for them to be still.
"Other mandragoras are shriveled and ugly, but if you raise them with semen, they turn out pretty like this…"
Thanks to this, I heard they could sell them as ornamental plants to some extent, and to couples facing various issues in their married life, they were sold as aphrodisiacs.
Of course, there were people who tried to use them for criminal purposes, but they were absurdly expensive. Furthermore, using it would not only affect themselves and their partners but also cause everyone within a radius of several hundred meters to enter a state of arousal, so it would inevitably be discovered.
If anyone tried to use it for an orgy, ordinary people who hadn't trained their bodies would immediately ejaculate in place if they were men, and women would collapse from orgasms, unable to even have sex, rolling on the floor instead.
"When consumed, it does have the effect of enhancing stamina, but compared to other stamina enhancers on the market, there's no significant difference, so it was deemed unmarketable. Eating it raw is effective, but considering the price of these mandragoras, it's not cost-effective."
Saying this, Delphine handed me a potion that looked... suspiciously like semen.
"That's how this new product was born after exploring alternative uses."
"Is this safe to drink?"
"Yes. Based on the semen you provided for testing last time, your compatibility is high, so there shouldn't be any issues."
Hearing that, I closed my eyes tightly and gulped down the semen-like liquid.
'Hmm? This tastes surprisingly good?'
It had a faint sweetness and a refreshing aroma, unexpectedly pleasant to drink.
"Probably."
"Shouldn't you say that before I drink it?!"
"Still, among everyone tested so far, you have the highest compatibility, so it should be fine."
"You keep mentioning compatibility—what exactly is this potion for?"
As I placed the flask down in front of Delphine, for some reason, her slender, flat body began to look strangely erotic to me, and I felt a reaction down below.
Throb.
"Already reacting, are you?"
"No, this is normal for me. I tend to get hard pretty easily."
Without hesitation, Delphine slid her fingers into my pants and pulled out my erection. I didn't like that old man Frederica watching, but since this was for testing the new product, I let him observe.
"Your glans is clean. Did you already masturbate today?"
"Do you really have to comment on that?"
"It's just a personal observation."
Delphine began playing with my dick with her slender fingers. At first, she touched it gently, but as time passed, she started bending it left, right, and all over the place.
"Hey, stop! It might break!"
"A dick doesn't break. Some animals, like dogs, have bones in their penises that can fracture, but in human males, the correct term is that the erectile tissue can rupture."
"Uh, yeah. Either way, if you're rough, it'll rip or break or whatever!"
"Don't worry. Yours is quite flexible."
Looking down, I saw that Delphine had already twisted my cock into a full loop with both hands.
"Ah! What the hell are you doing?!"
"This new product is called the Localized Mutation Potion."
"Localized… Mutation Potion?"
"Yes. Normally, mutation magic is something only those with exceptional talents and magical abilities can perform. But with this potion, even someone with slight mutation aptitude can trigger localized mutations."
"And what exactly would you use this for?"
"You could reshape your face for disguise or transform injured areas to prevent bleeding or critical injuries."
Hearing this, it did sound useful, but…
"Then why is it being tested here?"
"Because your mutation aptitude is focused in that region, obviously."
Watching Delphine gleefully play with my dick, I suddenly felt petty. If I could control mutations consciously, why not take charge myself?
'Bigger, hotter, harder…'
Creak.
"Ah?"
As my dick, which she was treating like a toy, grew larger and harder, Delphine panicked and tried to let go, but it had already transformed significantly.
"Huff… Huff…"
I felt slightly dizzy from the lack of blood flow to my head, but since I was about to get physical, it didn't matter.
"Wait a minute! I'm not ready for this—ahhh!"
Pinning Delphine against the lab wall, I stripped off her lab coat and slipped my hand under her skirt. The scent of a ripe female body that hadn't been washed for days while developing new products wafted off her.
"And I… I haven't even bathed…"
Seeing the hefty cock pressing against her stomach, Delphine gulped and couldn't finish her sentence.
"Can this really transform in real time?"
"With your compatibility, yes."
At Frederica's answer, I immediately returned my dick to its usual smaller size, and Delphine sighed in relief.
"This enough for you?"
"Yeah… It's embarrassing to do this in front of my mentor, but… could you warn me before shoving it in?!"
But Delphine was clearly aroused, as her lower half was already drooling uncontrollably. There was no way I could hold back.
"You said it works in real time, right?"
"Yes… Wait, what are you—?!"
Realizing my intent, Delphine tried to stop me, but I pinned her down and punished her for manhandling my dick as she pleased.
Thud!
I doubled the girth of my cock inside her body.
'Ugh… Blood rush…!'
Of course, mutating my dick didn't create new blood or tissue, so every time I did it, I felt lightheaded. But since I wouldn't need my brain much for what came next, it didn't matter.
