Chapter 48 ~ Kinky Request (R-18)
<span style="font-weight:400">Lured in by the sexy subus, Yuuji sat on the bench with Aika straddling hisp, rubbing herself against his crotch as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked and licked his lips, cheeks, neck, and vicle.
<span style="font-weight:400">She had been teasing him for quite a while, but all they’ve done was talk. Well… Yuuji was. He was telling her what happened to him before he came here while Aika teased him with her lips and body.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heeee~ So you meet the Patriarch too, huh? *Chu~* What did he say?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Pretty much the same thing as he did Tatsuya in the anime.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm~ Well, that’s good… I guess? Anyway! Let’s get to it!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm. Alright-”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, that’s right! Before that! There’s something I want to talk about!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji tilted his head when Aika suddenly jumped off of hisp, picked up her phone and straddled him again.
<span style="font-weight:400">She fiddled with her phone for a moment and then showed him the screen.
<span style="font-weight:400">Disyed on it was her <<Inventory>> in the Multiverse Chat Group app. And there, on one of the boxes, was the <<Fertility Control (Fem. Version)>> skill.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here! This is what I wanted to talk about!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh? Why is it still in your inventory? Did you… not use it all this time?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Ah, no no. That’s not it. I’ve been using it all this time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then… Why is it still in your <<Inventory>>?”
<span style="font-weight:400">All the skills and proficiency Yuuji had received from the Chat Group would disappear from his <<Inventory> the moment he used it. And because of that, he had always been under the impression that they’re permanent.
<span style="font-weight:400">That’s why he was extremely confused right now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fufu~ I just found this out too, but if you have the intention of selling them, your skills can reappear in your inventory~! Isn’t it super convenient?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, I see… Wait, you intend on selling them…?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji looked at her in shock. Did she wish to get pregnant? No, if she does, she could simply turn the skill off and let herself be fertile once again.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no need for her to sell the skill.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika smiled softly and nodded, caressing his cheek with her hand.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why so suddenly…? Weren’t you happy when I bought it?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I mean, I was… But that’s when it’s just the two of us! Now, you also have Erika! Are you going to buy her that skill too? What about Mayumi-senpai? Your mother? Your twin sisters? Your aunt? You won’t have enough points to buy all of the women in your harem, and it’ll be super wasteful even if you do!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Well, that’s true.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji fell silent at the realization and the truth of her words.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was true… Even if he were to use every single GCP he received from missions, he won’t have enough to buy all of the women he loves that skill. It’s simply too expensive and wasteful for him to do so.
<span style="font-weight:400">Even though he did it to show her beloved Aika that he’s serious about her, it was… perhaps the wrong way to go about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Looking at his frown, Aika let out a helpless smile and hugged him, stroking his head softly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m super happy that you’d have sex with the intention of taking responsibility. And you sure fuck me like you’re trying to bypass that skill and impregnate me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">“And from everything that I’ve seen, I know you won’t just go around any fuck every girl around you. Hell, it took a while for even Erika to get through that thick head of yours and ept her as your girlfriend. So, I think it’s fine if you were to have fertility control skills instead. After all, I think Erika wants to make love to you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">She moved back and snickered when she saw his surprised pikachu face.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why are you surprised? I mean, you want to make love with Erika too, right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I-I do…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ See~? I know what you’ve been doing with her when you’re alone~ That’s why I gave you two some alone time, after all. If you two didn’t do anything, I would’ve been mad instead.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah… Yes. I’ve thought about it. But I didn’t because I don’t have enough points to buy the Fertility Control skill for her. And even if I have just enough, I think it’d be better to save it in case we need it for an emergency. I can hold back until we’ve finished this mission.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You might be able to because you have me. But I’m sure Erika also wants to make love with you! You do notice how horny she is when you’re alone, right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I guess- Wait, how did you know?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ Of course I know~ There’s no secret between us sisters~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji looked at her in shock. He knew Aika would share her stories with Erika, but he didn’t know Erika would do the same to her too!
<i><span style="font-weight:400">That exins why they seemed super close recently…</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">He was d that both of his girlfriends could get along so well. But on the other side, he was genuinely confused how they could get along <i><span style="font-weight:400">this</i><span style="font-weight:400"> well.
<span style="font-weight:400">Was it because of Aika’s friendly personality? Or was it because Erika needed someone more experienced in this kind of field to gain the courage she needed to seduce him?
<span style="font-weight:400">He really didn’t know…
<span style="font-weight:400">“So? What do you think?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji thought of it for a moment, and finally nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Alright. I’ve realized my mistake… My approach to prove to you that I’m serious about our rtionship is… not sustainable. Thank you for pointing that out and for trusting me with this.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fufufu~ You’re wee~ Then, Imma sell it now~”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika pressed the sell button, selling it for full price thanks to the magnanimous system of the Multiverse Group Chat, and went to the store.
<span style="font-weight:400">She searched for the male version of the Fertility Control skill, bought it, and gifted it to Yuuji.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And send~ Hurry up and use it now so we can have sex~! Remember, I still want you to fill me up when I fly around~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji smiled helplessly and nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright.”
<span style="font-weight:400">He took out his phone from his pocket, opened his inventory, and saw the <<Fertility Control (Male. Version) gift from Aika.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hurry up!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes yes.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji epted the gift and immediately used it, giving him the ability to render his sperm fertile or infertile at will.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then, he made himself infertile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, I’ve done it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Without waiting another beat, Aika captured his lips into a sloppy kiss and fiddled with his belt with her hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">And when she got his belt, she separated her lips from him, dropped down to her knees, and yanked his pants and boxers forcefully, revealing her beloved’s meat stick which was still only semi-hard.
<span style="font-weight:400">She dove into the base of his tower with her nose, breathing in a lungful of his manly scent. No matter how many times she smelled it, it would always make her brain turn to mush. She can’t think of anything other than gobbling up this delicious meat tower and making love to it while drowning in her beloved’s love.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmm~ Smells delicious~ Then, without further ado, itadakimasu~ Auump~ Mmmmmh~”
<span style="font-weight:400">She pped her hands and put the entirety of his still soft rod into her mouth and began ying around with it with her tongue.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnghh… Aika…”
<span style="font-weight:400">The sensation of her warm, wet mouth surrounding his meat and her yful tongue licking and tossing him around slowly made his penis grew harder and bigger, filling her little mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">But instead of pulling away as it got bigger, she made it grow inside her. She adjusted her position and tilted her head down to make it easier for it to grow into her throat.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ggghhkkk! Kkkhk! Mmmmnngghh~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">With the ability to control her gag reflexes, Aika didn’t have any issue in swallowing the entirety of her beloved’s dragon rod. But she had found that the sound made Yuuji even hornier, so she made it purposefully. And when she looked up, she saw Yuuji clenching his teeth in an attempt to hold himself back from cumming.
<i><span style="font-weight:400">Fufufu~ That’s a good boy~ You can’te now, okay~? Not until I’m satisfied with ying with your meat~</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">Her eyes narrowed and she pushed her head down even further, swallowing the entirety of his shaft until her lips pressed against the base of his penis. And to make it even harder for him to not cum, she stretched her tongue out and licked his full, heavy balls.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aaaaahh! Aika, it feels so good!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmmnnggh~~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">She squealed happily, causing his penis to flinch from the pleasurable vibration, which in turn caused her to squeal again in an unending loop.
<span style="font-weight:400">“A-Aika…!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika began to pull away slowly, sucking powerfully as she did, and released his now fully erect dragon rod with a sexy pop.
<span style="font-weight:400">It’s not time for him to cum yet. She wanted his first cum to be inside her other mouth~
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ How was the taste of a magical girl’s mouth~?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah… Hah… It’s amazing…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika giggled. She was super proud and giddy when she saw Yuuji already panting with such a lustful expression on his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now then~”
<span style="font-weight:400">She climbed up a table and raised her legs, spreading it into an M shape, and rested feet on the edge of the table. She lifted up her frilly white skirt and bit it with her lips, revealing her drenched pure white panties.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Weren’t you wearing an underskirt?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I haven’t wear it yet since we’ll be having sex.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">He approached her, pecking her on the lips, before he began removing her panties ever so slowly. His fingers glided through her smooth thighs and stockings.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her body trembled as he leisurely took off her panties. With how sensitive she is right now, his every touch sent a shiver of pleasure down her spine. She could feel her womb tingling, bating in anticipation to receive her beloved.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yuuji…!”
<span style="font-weight:400">She raised her voice and red at him meekly, knowing he was teasing her by purposefully moving slowly. At this point, she could care less about her panties. She just wanted Yuuji to rip it apart already and plunge his dragon rod into her hungry pussy.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing her impatience and frustrated expression, Yuuji giggled and took off her pantiespletely.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, I’m sorry. I just can’t help but tease you when you’re like this.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hurry up!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes yes.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji lined up his penis to the entrance of her pussy, his head immediately glistening with her love juice, and pushed his hip powerfully.
<span style="font-weight:400">“MMMMNGGHHHH~!!!!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">His entire length immediately plunged into her pussy, stretching it as his head pushed against her cervix.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika’s back arched as she threw her head back in pleasure and bit the hem of her skirt tighter, her eyes rolling back.
<span style="font-weight:400">But without waiting for her orgasm to end, Yuuji grabbed her thin waist in his hands and began mercilessly pistoning her cute, little pussy with his massive meat rod.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nggghk~ Yu… Yujii~ More~ Gimme more~!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Drool flowed down the side of her mouth as she panted heavily. Her massive I-Cup boobs bounced around wildly as she held his wrists tightly and crossed her legs around her beloved, forbidding him from going away.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aika… You’re so tight…!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of… Of course… I am… Ehe~ You’re personal… Magical girl… hole… Will always… be tight… for you~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aika!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hyaaaan~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika quickly wrapped her arms around Yuuji’s neck when he suddenly lifted her up and held her up by holding her soft butt cheeks.
<span style="font-weight:400">And before she could utter another word, her lips were sealed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yuuji~ Chuuu~ Mmchu~ *Rero**Rero**Rero* Mnnu~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Her tongue danced around Yuuji’s as they pressed their lips against each other.
<span style="font-weight:400">When suddenly, Yuuji thrust up even harder, causing her to arched her back and separate from their kiss.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnhhaaaa~! Yes~ More~! Gimme more, Yuuji~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The sound of loud, wet pping between Aika’s soft, squishy buttcheeks and Yuuji filled the room. And it was fortunate that Aika had told everyone to let her have privacy with Yuuji so she could focus on her match.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes~ More~ Nnnnghhh~! Hah… Hah… More~! Yuuji~ I love you~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I love you too, Aika… I love you- Nngh!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji winced when Aika’s pussy suddenly clenched even harder on his dick.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aah~ More~ Whisper to me more~ Tell me you love me~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I love you… I love you so much, Aika.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnnghhhh~!!! More~ More~!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji continued to whisper more words of love to her while showing it by ying with her butt cheeks and thrusting up harder and harder, hammering in his love for her. He won’t be leaving any doubt about his feelings for her in her mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnghh… Aika… I’m cumming…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes~ Give me~! Fill me up~! Give my pussy her daily dose of your delicious cream~!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aika!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnnhhh Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji embraced her strongly and mmed his rod deep into her, filling her womb with his cum that had be infertile from his skill.
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika also embraced him strongly, wrapping her arms and legs around him as much as possible.
<span style="font-weight:400">One… Two… Three… Yuuji continued to ejacte and pump his semen into her womb, disregarding the fact that he had begun flowing out from overfilling.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah… Hah… Hah… Ehehehe~ How… How does it feel… to fuck… a magical girl… Yuuji~?”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nnghh… What kind of… magical girl… is this lewd?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ But you love it, don’t you~? See, your “little brother” is still twitching~ He’s still trying to impregnate me~ Fufu~ How honest~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“... I’m sure you would already be right now if I didn’t have that skill.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ I’m sure~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji ced her back down on the table. But as he was about to pull his penis out, Aika suddenly shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait! Hurry up and use your magic! My womb is perfectly full with your cum right now! Plug it!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, that’s right…”
<span style="font-weight:400">He forgot the reason why they’re having sex now for a moment. After all, it was… a super perverted reason only her perverted girlfriend could’ve thought of.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji ced a hand on the lower part of her belly, right above her womb, and activated the magic Aika made him create specifically for this purpose.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s done.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji slowly pulled out his penis, and despite her pussy still slightly gaping from receiving his oversized member, none of his cum poured out.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Perfect~! Ehehehe~ It feels so warm~ Aaaah~ This is happiness~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji smiled helplessly as Aika giggled, rubbing her tummy with a giddy smile on her face.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, you better get ready now. Your event is about to start.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhn~! Ah, but before that. <<Heal>>~!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika’s body glowed for a moment before she stood up with a bright smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haaaaah~ My boyfriend, who loves me so much, is too horny~ I can’t believe I had to use such powerful magic to heal myself since he can’t hold back from destroying my poor, little pussy~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika sighed and ced a hand on her cheeks, sarcasticallymenting her woes.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Stop messing around and hurry up. Also, who’s the one who keeps shouting harder and harder?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ehehe~ I’m just messing with you~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Her woeful expression quickly turned into a brilliant smile and she quickly put her panties back on. She cleaned her outfit and body with a spell and put on her underskirt.
<span style="font-weight:400">None shall see her pussy, butt, and panties aside from Yuuji!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yosh~! Transformation into a pure magical girl,plete~!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika twirled and made a double v-sign as she grinned brightly at Yuuji. A quintessential magical girl pose that looked more sexy than seiso (pure) when Aika did it with her voluptuous body and after sex glow.
<span style="font-weight:400">“... What kind of pure magical girl has her womb filled to the brim with cum.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe~ The one who has her womb filled with the cum of her one and only~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Aika tiptoed and pecked Yuuji’s lips before giggling.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. Aika.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm? Ah- Mmnnchu~”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji held her shoulders and ced a long, loving kiss on her lips.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Have fun. I’ll be watching.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">--------------------------------X--------------------------------
<span style="font-weight:400">August 11. Main Event Mirage Bat Second Match.
<span style="font-weight:400">After the incident and subsequent injuries Watanabe Mari suffered from during the Battle Board Main Event, First High was forced to substitute Watanabe Mari with another athlete. And upon seeing the name of the athlete who will be substituting for her, all eyes immediately turned their focus on the match.
<span style="font-weight:400">Kiryuu Aika. Previously only famous for her unparalleled beauty and rumors about her magical talent, she now captured as much attention as Tsubakihara Yuuji after her disy of skills and talent in the Ice Pirs Break Rookie event.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her reputation and poprity had soared high in the sky. Her immense beauty was no longer the only trait that attracted others’ gazes. Now, upon seeing her, those who had watched her Ice Pirs Break event could feel the tingling sensation of electricity running through the surface of their skin.
<span style="font-weight:400">One by one, the contestants of the Battle Board Main Event began entering the venue and stood on one of many pirs in a circr pool of water.
<span style="font-weight:400">And the moment she entered, none seemed to remember how to breathe for a while.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dressed in a pure white dress that entuated herrge breasts, slim waist, and lithe arms, a short, fluffy skirt that hid her wide hips, and pure white stockings that covered her milky thighs and long, slender legs, Aika appeared, walking beside Yuuji as they both head towards the match area together.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll be fine now. Thanks~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm. Good luck. I’ll be rooting for you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm~ Leave it to me~ I’ve got everything I need for this match~”
<span style="font-weight:400">The two smiled and high-fived each other, and Yuuji returned to the First High’s bench.
<span style="font-weight:400">“She seemed to be in a great mood. I’m d.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Standing beside him to watch and support Aika, Tatsuya nced at him with a small smile. Meanwhile, beside him, Miyuki was also watching Aika closely. After her defeat in the Ice Pirs Break, Miyuki seemed to have considered Aika her rival in addition to being her closest friend.
<span style="font-weight:400">“She is, thankfully. She’s been excited about this for a long time. Ever since she watched the anime.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. By the way, was there a problem?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? A problem? What do you mean?”
<span style="font-weight:400">The two looked at each other in confusion.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? You were with Aika for quite a while in the preparation room. Were you fixing something?”
<span style="font-weight:400">To his words, Yuuji’s face immediately turned red and began choking on his own spit.
<span style="font-weight:400">“A-Ahem! I-It’s nothing! There was no problem. We just… talked about that incident.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Tatsuya nodded, seemingly understanding what Yuuji was referring to.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I’m d there’s no trouble.”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji let out a deep sigh of relief and turned towards Aika as she stood on a pir with her staff in one hand, and a small, egg shaped CAD on the other. Immediately, memories of her body and their love making session just now shed through his mind, increasing his libido further.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her sexiness was truly a double edged sword… On one side, she was able to satisfy his ever rising libido, which was further heightened by his [Divine Physique]. But on the other side, she was also the reason why he’s always horny. Her body alone could easily seduce him. Add it to the fact that she’s someone he loves so dearly. It was a double whammybo that made her irresistible to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yuuji shook his head, trying his best to stay calm and convincing himself that he’ll be able to make love to her all night after this.
<span style="font-weight:400">Soon the horns signaling the start of the match resounded. And all of the athletes immediately leaped up towards their targeted orbs of light to hit with their staffs, except for Aika.
<span style="font-weight:400">Murmurs began to spread amongst the spectators, wondering why she hadn’t started.
<span style="font-weight:400">But in the next moment, all murmurings died as their ability to speak disappeared upon witnessing an unimaginable sight.
<span style="font-weight:400">From her back, a pair of brilliant wings of pink, white, and golden light burst into appearance before she leaped into the air, leaving behind sparkling particles of light in her wake.
<span style="font-weight:400">A girl in her path turned and widened her eyes in shock at Aika’s approach. But then, she suddenly changed directions in mid air, avoiding the girl, and continued to fly up into the sky.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gasps filled the entire stadium as they watched Aika flying through the air and hitting orb after orb with her staff.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I-Is that…?!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“D-Don’t tell me… Is it flying magic?!”<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Flying magic…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?! Taurus Silver’s?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No way…!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wasn’t that sequence only made publicst month?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, but that’s…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s no doubt… That’s flying magic!”
<span style="font-weight:400">And as their shock from the spell dissipated, they began to feel awed at her appearance.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was shining ever so brightly, brighter than her wings of light. And for some reason… She appeared even more beautiful and mature than before.
<span style="font-weight:400">Soon, Aika ended the match with a perfect score and at a record time. And as the horn signaling the end of the match resounded, she slowly descended down to the highest pir.
<span style="font-weight:400">The entire stadium watched her descend in awe, speechless. It was as if a Goddess had descended into the world of mortals in all her glory.
<span style="font-weight:400">When her feet touched the ground once again, Aika turned towards Yuuji. Their eyes met, and even without words, their thoughts were conveyed to one another through their bonds.
<i><span style="font-weight:400">I demand a full course of my darling tonight~!!!</i>
<i><span style="font-weight:400">Yes yes… I’ll give it to you good, mydy.</i>
<i><span style="font-weight:400">Good~!!! I’ll have Erika join as appetizers too~!</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">She smiled brilliantly, and the entire stadium immediately burst into a deafening cheer and apuse as her victory was announced.
