Chapter 103: Christmas Gift (4)
Elina began to calmly explain the events involving the pigeon.
As Sihyeon listened quietly to her explanation, he initially found the story somewhat intriguing.
A Goddess who loved playing board games in the temple and a talking pigeon that sounded like something out of a myth.
The fact that they didn't just talk but spent time together like friends playing board games was enough to pique a human's curiosity.
However, that interest didn't last very long.
Unfortunately, board games were truly the extent of Elina’s history with that talking pigeon.
After hearing Elina out until the end, Sihyeon couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
"So, you went around picking fights with a pigeon and then got lured into this revenge plot? Is that it?"
"Hic.... I-I'm not sure...."
Sihyeon frowned slightly as he saw tears welling up in Elina's eyes.
"E-Elina just... just asked to play a board game together.... D-do you think... he got mad because of that...?"
"...If you forced him into it, that’s reason enough."
"Uuu... I-it wasn't like that.... The p-pigeon is really nice... h-he said he’d do it for me.... Hic... W-when we played board games... we were really like best friends...."
"Hmm. Then you must have made some kind of mistake. Otherwise, there's no way a pigeon would suddenly stab you in the back."
"Uuung.... I-I think so too.... Hic, E-Elina must have done something bad to the nice pigeon without knowing it.... Hic... It’s definitely Elina’s fault...."
"......Goddess. I hope you won't misunderstand, but that's not it...."
"Hieek?! P-Pigeon?!"
Elina scrambled to her feet and crawled out of the box in a hurry.
Then, on all fours, she looked straight down at the pigeon on the floor.
"G-Goddess.... I deceived you."
The pigeon gave a short shake of its head.
"I'm sorry. I was... being blackmailed myself...."
"B-B-Blackmailed...?!"
"Yes.... They said if I didn't bring the Goddess here... they would pluck every single feather off my family members.... I had no choice."
"Ah...... so that's what happened...."
Elina made the saddest face in the world and patted the pigeon's back.
"Uuu.... F-Family... you can't help that.... This pretty Goddess understands...."
"I apologize as well. I'm sorry for deceiving you, Goddess."
Sihyeon, seeing the red energy flowing from the pigeon's body, knew instantly that it was lying.
Normally, it would have been appropriate to pluck all its feathers and turn it into a skewer.
But on second thought, the fact that a pigeon could speak human language was fascinating in many ways.
"By the way.... The Goddess didn't do something really, really bad to you, did she...? Y-You didn't do this on purpose... t-to get revenge on the Goddess, right?"
"Absolutely not. Have you already forgotten the board games we played together? I believe the Goddess knows better than anyone how seriously this pigeon played back then."
The pigeon rattled off the history of the board games they had shared, trying its best to prove its sincerity.
After listening to the pigeon, Sihyeon asked Elina.
"Is what he's saying true?"
"Uuung.... Y-yes. Even when the Goddess was crying her eyes out and begging for mercy, that pigeon said matches are cold-blooded and blew up the huge princess castle the Goddess had carefully built with a massive bomb. He definitely wanted to beat the Goddess with everything he had."
"Goddess. Surely you aren't planning to kill me over what happened back then?"
"The Goddess doesn't do such cowardly things. That's in the past, and it was just a board game for fun. Even if I'm frustrated, I'll hold it in and get my revenge in a new game next time...!"
"I always welcome a challenge."
Since Elina seemed to cherish the pigeon quite a bit, Sihyeon decided not to destroy their special relationship.
"Pigeon. Let me ask you one thing. You said someone was waiting here to give our Elina a gift? What does that person look like?"
"She is quite famous in these parts. A mage staying at the Magic Tower named Yuliana—"
The pigeon's words were cut short.
It was because a sharp gaze suddenly pierced through him.
The pigeon's wings trembled as he saw Sihyeon's eyes fixed directly on him.
In the past, even while he was repeatedly tearing down Elina's hard-earned towers, he had never felt a murderous intent like this.
'Pigeon. Do you have any last words?'
'......If you just spare my life, I'll roll dice for you all night long. Please spare me just this once...!'
'Just for today?'
'F-For a whole week.'
'Mm-hmm! That's a promise with the Goddess, okay?!'
When dealing with the Goddess, who would mimic a cat and threaten to stab him with her sharp tail whenever she had the chance, he could always get through it by offering to play countless board games. But...
"Hey. What did you just say? Yuliana?"
"Huh...? Yuliana...? I've definitely heard that name somewhere before.... Who was it again...?"
"......"
It didn't seem like that method would work at all in front of this human.
He was radiating a murderous intent so strong it felt like he would crush anyone in his sight, regardless of what they said.
'Ah, I should have just sent a letter from afar. I think I've really screwed up by stepping forward...'
The pigeon intended to just nod calmly and wait for the reaction.
However.
"Hmm~ Yuliana.... Yuliana.... It's definitely a unique name that's hard to forget once you hear it.... Uuu...! Who is Yuliana...!"
That oblivious Goddess was clinging to Sihyeon's side, repeatedly saying the name and provoking him.
The pigeon felt like he was going to lose his mind as he watched the furrow in Sihyeon's brow deepen every time the name Yuliana was mentioned.
"Uuu...! It's frustrating...! Oppa, Oppa! Who is she that even your cock is going limp?!"
"A member of the Hero Party who fucked me over."
"Huh? Hero Party?"
Elina tilted her head to one side.
"Hero Party.... Yuliana.... Someone famous here.... And this is the Magic Tower.... So she's Sien-unni's disciple...."
When her head tilted completely to the other side, Elina's body gave a violent flinch.
"Hyaak?! You mean that fox beastkin with the big tits?!"
"Yeah."
"W-W-What?! Didn't she say she was on her way to the Magic Tower?! I thought she still had a long way to go before arriving?!"
"That's what she said, but seeing as that damn fox bitch intentionally lured you in, she's probably up to something else."
"Hieek?! T-This is bad! This is really bad...!"
Elina looked back and forth between Sihyeon and the pigeon frantically, then suddenly took on a grave expression and fell into deep thought.
Exactly five seconds later, Elina's body slumped down.
"Oppa... what should Elina do...? I concentrated too hard and now my head hurts.... I feel so motion sick I think I'm gonna die.... Hic...."
Crouching down weakly, she slithered between Sihyeon's legs and grabbed his now-limp cock with both hands.
"I think the headache will go away if I eat this soft cock right here, and it looks like Oppa needs the Goddess's mouth-pussy too. Elina will make you feel good right away, okay?"
Then, she tilted her head sharply and began to lick his cock with her tongue.
She moved her head back and forth, meticulously licking the shaft from top to bottom.
"Ha-um...♥ Jjuup, jjuuuup...♥"
She took the glans into her mouth, curling her lips into a circle and sucking hard.
"Elina. I'm not in the mood."
"Hmph...♥ Hua...♥ Even if you're not in the mood, just stay like this for a bit...♥"
Although Sihyeon's expression didn't soften immediately, his cock, reacting honestly, quickly became rock hard and reached a full erection.
Sihyeon had no choice but to leisurely enjoy her mouth-pussy as Elina suggested.
Then, he suddenly felt a suspiciously thick demonic energy wrapping around his cock.
"Are you giving me demonic energy?"
"Chuut, chuup...♥ Heuu... my headache is all gone, and you look like you need demonic energy...♥ I'll give you plenty~♥ Ha-um... chulululuup...♥"
Having swallowed half the shaft, Elina busily bobbed her head up and down before pulling back. She glanced up at Sihyeon, her eyes curving beautifully.
"Huaaa...♥ So... can't you let the pigeon slide...?"
"Why? Were you scared I was going to kill him?"
"Uuung.... Oppa's demonic energy.... It's leaking out everywhere.... The pigeon could never handle that.... If Oppa releases his serious demonic energy, the pigeon might go p-p-pop and explode...."
Sihyeon stroked Elina's head.
"He's not just a normal pigeon; he's your friend."
"Y-Yes.... He's the Goddess's precious friend...."
"How could I kill someone like that? Don't worry, that won't happen. Of course, that's assuming he answers my questions properly."
Elina's shoulders gave a small flinch as she hurriedly turned back to the pigeon.
"You're going to answer properly, right?! R-Right, Pigeon?!"
"Coo-coo, coo-coo-coo...!"
"Nooo! You have to answer in human words, not that!"
"Y-Yes, sir...!"
Sihyeon looked straight down at the pigeon.
"Yuliana. Where is she right now?"
