Chapter 22: Summer
“Yohan, Yohan!”
“Yes, Teacher.”
“Today… how about it?”
“…I’m sorry. Today, I’m a little-”
“Ah, I see…”
With those words, Yohan moved away from Evangeline’s sight. The distance between them made her feel the awkwardness that had grown between master and disciple.
It had been like this ever since she’d had relations with him. As long as she wasn’t a complete idiot, it wasn’t hard to guess why Yohan was reacting this way.
‘As I thought, he wasn’t pleased with my body, just like all the others…’
Regardless of the curse, my body must have been that repulsive to him. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to avoid me like this.
Evangeline despaired that they hadn’t been able to go further on that first day. If only she had known her disciple would shun her like this, she would have moved toward a deeper relationship instead of just satisfying her curiosity by extracting his semen.
She could have offered him her virginity, and it would have become a memory she’d cherish for a lifetime…
‘Yohan…’
Swallowing her regret, Evangeline shut herself in her room.
Of course, Yohan wasn’t avoiding her for the reasons she imagined.
“Disciple, did something happen with Evangeline?”
“Huh? No. Why the sudden…?”
“It’s just that you seem to be avoiding her a lot lately.”
“Ah…”
Yohan couldn’t say it. He couldn’t tell her that it had felt far too good when she’d made him come nine times with just her hand, and that he was now afraid he’d die from sex before he even lost his virginity.
For a man to admit that to a woman was just too damn embarrassing. Even if Margaret had a curse that made her invisible to others, she wasn’t completely cut off from the world.
They could talk whenever they wanted. The process was just extremely tedious…
“Nothing happened.”
That was why Yohan hid the reason he was avoiding Evangeline, even from Margaret. Margaret sensed something was off, but she couldn’t figure out the reason for the distance between the two.
While not as distinct as in Korea with its four seasons, this world also had them. The sun, beating down through the dense leaves, began to heat my entire body.
Sweat trickled down just from standing still. I could feel summer in its full force.
After picking vegetables for today and tomorrow, I quickly went inside the cabin. I had no idea what principle was at work, but the heat vanished, and a refreshing coolness enveloped my body. Just when it got so cold that I started to shiver, warmth would return to maintain the perfect temperature.
‘I can’t believe I’m enjoying air conditioning in a fantasy world… Magic is amazing.’
Admiring my teacher’s magical skill, I started washing the vegetables. I rinsed the dirt off their surfaces, dried them, and put them in the storeroom.
The fruits and vegetables here didn’t rot. It wasn’t cold, but it was no different from a refrigerator. I grabbed a few fruits to eat right away, went up to the living room, and began to peel and eat them one by one.
‘I’ve become a total housewife…’
When I first arrived at this cabin, I couldn’t even peel a single fruit properly, but now my skills were so polished they’d be welcome in any shop.
Looking at the apple I’d cut into the shape of a rabbit, I moved past admiration and felt the urge to show it off. So, I picked up the plate full of fruit and headed to my teacher’s room.
“Teacher? May I come in?”
─…Come in.
After getting her permission, I entered and was met with the musty smell of reagents. Although she used magic to vent the smells, it was inevitable when she was in the middle of brewing something.
I wrinkled my nose for a moment as I walked in. Seeing my expression, my teacher immediately closed the lid of the pot, stopping the smell from escaping.
“Eat this while you work.”
“…Thank you. Just leave it there.”
“Teacher, you said that last time but didn’t eat any of it. I’ll leave after I see you eat…”
“I said get out!”
“…Yes, I’m sorry.”
At my teacher’s sudden shout, I put down the plate and carefully left the room. Lately, she had been getting angry more often. It was probably that time. The magical day that visits women once a month.
My irritated mind concluded that I must have been truly inadequate. As a witch who had lived for hundreds of years, she probably wanted an orc man who could go hundreds of rounds with ease. Not someone like me, who passed out after shooting his load a mere nine times…
Since I could fully understand, I refrained from approaching her after that. But the more I did, the more her tyranny intensified─.
“Ugh, this is so frustrating. So frustrating.”
“…Pardon?”
“You and Evangeline both. What are you two doing?”
“But Teacher is the one pushing me away like this…”
“Do you really think that? That she’s pushing you away?”
“It’s not a matter of thinking, it’s what’s actually happening.”
“This is why virgins are so hopeless…”
Hearing my words, Margaret let out a huge sigh and glared at me. I could almost feel the killing intent in her eyes.
After glaring at me for a long while, Margaret shook her head as if giving up and took something out. It was a rather familiar object, so my eyes widened as I stared at what she was holding.
“What, you—do you know what this is?”
“…Isn’t that a swimsuit?”
“That’s right. It’s a swimsuit. How’d you know?”
What she held was a women’s swimsuit—a bikini. It was an item that hadn’t been around for very long even on Earth, so how in the world did she have something like this?
But before I could even ponder that question, Margaret tossed the bikini at me.
“Here, catch.”
“Why are you giving this to me…?”
“Go and ask Evangeline to go to the beach.”
“The beach…?”
“Yes, the beach.”
Was there even a sea in this world? No, even if there was, how were we, in the middle of a mountain valley, supposed to get to the sea?
As I was thinking this, I remembered who was standing in front of me. The Witch of Space, who could freely traverse space—a witch for whom distance was no obstacle.
“…Teacher doesn’t like crowded places.”
“It’s fine. I know a deserted beach or two.”
“If that’s the case…”
At her suggestion to go to the beach, I immediately grabbed the swimsuit and headed for my teacher’s room. I had quite liked the beach back on Earth. Because I could see girls in swimsuits.
And—when I imagined how beautiful my teacher would look in a bikini, I wanted to go to the beach right that instant. I wanted to go to the beach and savor that feminine body of hers.
“─Teacher, may I come in?”
─…What is it now?
“There’s something I need to talk to you about…”
My teacher gave me permission to enter. Once inside, I frowned at the sight of the fruit, still completely untouched. Did she not even want to touch something I gave her…?
“What is it?”
“Ah, it’s about this…”
“…What’s that, underwear?”
“It’s a swimsuit.”
“A swimsuit?”
“Yes, Teacher. ─Would you… like to go to the beach with me?”
At my words, my teacher frowned and glared at me. Did she not want to go anywhere with the likes of me?
After staring at me in silence for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth.
“You go by yourself.”
“No! I really want to go with you, Teacher!”
“…Why?”
“Pardon?”
“Why do you want to go with someone like me? Wouldn’t you rather go with a woman like Margaret or the Holy Knight, instead of a repulsive woman like me?”
“…Teacher?”
Something was strange. I had thought she was just in a bad mood because it was that time of the month, but there was something more to it.
Besides, it was ridiculous to think that my teacher, who was hundreds of years old, was still menstruating. Wasn’t she long past the age where she would have run out of eggs…?
My expression hardened as I looked into her eyes.
“Teacher. What do you mean by that?”
“Well, you must hate me too.”
“Hate you? I like you, Teacher.”
“Lies. You’ve been avoiding me for the past few days.”
“…That’s because.”
That’s because you’re so damn hot.
And because when you get started, you milk me nearly ten times.
I felt like I was really going to die, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to satisfy you.
They were the worst possible words for a man to say, so they didn’t come out easily. But I had to say them. I instinctively knew it. I knew that if I tried to hide this fact out of some pathetic pride, our relationship could be completely ruined.
“…I get hard.”
“What?”
“Because you’re… so damn hot…”
“…Hah?”
Looking at her, who let out a hollow laugh in bewilderment, I continued to throw straight balls.
“When you get fired up, you go for nearly ten rounds, don’t you?”
“W-well, I suppose so…”
“But I’m human, not a witch. Normal guys have a hard time even going once.”
“Is thaaat so…?”
“Yes. To be honest, I feel like I’m going to die when I’m with you. It feels that good, but it also makes me worry that I might actually die.”
At my sincere words, she lowered her head as if she hadn’t known. Well, if she had lived as a virgin for hundreds of years, it was understandable she’d have such a misunderstanding.
That men are monsters of lust, capable of cumming ten, even a hundred times… but in reality, that wasn’t the case.
“I was avoiding you because I was scared of that, not because I started to hate you.”
“…So, that’s what it was.”
“Yes. And honestly, it’s partly your fault too, Teacher.”
“M-my fault?”
“If you were a little less hot, I wouldn’t have been able to go ten times anyway. The problem is that you’re so hot that I stay hard even after ten rounds.”
“…Hahhh.”
As if to say, ‘How can you say such sweet things?’, my teacher’s dark eyes began to turn a shade of pink.
This was my chance. I held up the bikini in my hand and pressed her.
“I want to see you in that fucking hot bikini, so let’s go to the beach.”
She meekly nodded her head.
A private beach.
On Earth, where the entire planet had fallen into the hands of humanity, it was a luxury only the super-rich could afford.
On a planet overflowing with people everywhere you went, a piece of land that only you could use held immense value, and I thought I’d never be able to own, let alone visit, such a place.
‘Wow… this is insane.’
Now that I was actually looking at this beautiful natural scenery, I could understand why the wealthy craved their own private islands.
Nature, untouched by human hands, was so beautiful that they must have wanted to monopolize it. Or perhaps, prevent others from defiling it.
“Yohan.”
As I was spending time admiring the sea, my teacher and Margaret, changed into their swimsuits, appeared from behind me. Just a moment ago, I had looked at the sea and thought nothing could be more beautiful, but I was wrong.
My teacher in a swimsuit was more beautiful than the translucent, jewel-toned sea. Dressed in a black lace swimsuit that contrasted with her white skin and hair, her appearance was beyond compare.
“H-how is it? Is it okay? It doesn’t look bad?”
“…Teacher.”
“Y-yes.”
“You’re beautiful. Truly. So much so that I’m at a loss for words…”
At those words, Evangeline bloomed with an exquisitely beautiful smile. While Margaret was asking from the side how her swimsuit looked, I entered the sea with my teacher.
The translucent, shimmering water became an accessory that made my teacher’s beauty shine even brighter. I stood there for a moment, watching beauty added to beauty, before carefully getting out of the water to get Margaret.
“Margaret. What are you doing?”
“…I’m the one who lent you the swimsuit, and I’m the one who brought you here, so why are you ignoring me?”
“Ignoring you? My teacher was just my priority.”
“That’s the same thing!”
“Kyaaaaaah─!”
The moment Margaret screamed, a piercing shriek came from behind me. Startled, I turned around to see my teacher dangling in the air.
Looking closely, something translucent had wrapped around her legs and was lifting her high into the sky.
Watching my teacher suddenly star in a tentacle flick, I turned to Margaret and asked.
“…You said there was no one here, right?”
“I said there were no people. I never said there were no monsters.”
Hearing her words, I let out a hollow laugh.
She wasn’t exactly wrong.
It was only natural for a place with no people to be teeming with monsters.
“Don’t just stand there, help me!”
However, powerless as I was, all I could do was watch as my teacher’s legs were spread wide.
