Could a smiling face be this terrifying? For the first time, I felt genuine fear toward Sophia.
I should've been the one to tell her first. Now that she'd caught me like this, anything I said would just sound like an excuse.
But seriously, what kind of authority was that from the goddess? The Goddess of Lust or something? An ability to check a guy's dick status? That made no sense. I was dumbfounded, but somehow it also made perfect sense. I'd blamed everything on the Aria Goddess so many times that maybe she'd handed that power to Sophia just to give me a taste of my own medicine.
Sigh... Self-inflicted wound, through and through.
At this point, I had to apologize... but the words wouldn't come out easily. Even for me, admitting outright that I got horny and fucked her was too much.
"Sigh... Oppa, you idiot."
"Sopi...?"
"Why are you acting so scared now? You've been screwing around with my mom even after we started dating."
True. Come to think of it, she'd caught me with Aunt multiple times. It had been so long since I returned to this world that I'd forgotten. Every time, Sophia would get mad, but a quick head pat would calm her right down. ...Would it work now?
I cautiously placed my hand on Sophia's head, and she leaned into me just like that. Hmm, looks like there's hope.
"Ugh! It's my fault for having such a great guy as my boyfriend. No way women would leave a hunk like you alone."
"......Huh?"
"Bet she seduced you just like Mom did, the fool. And you fell for it. Louise too, apparently—she looks innocent but acts like a total vixen. Ugh, disgusting."
"......Uh-huh?"
Wait, it turns out that way?
Maybe because her favorability was maxed out over 100, Sophia was interpreting everything in my favor. Truth was, I didn't want to hand her over to Siwoo, so I fucked her after training her up. But Sophia thought I'd fallen for Louise's seduction.
Still... hearing it like that, she wasn't entirely wrong. Louise was the one who first suggested becoming sex friends. It pricked my conscience a bit, but since it wasn't completely off-base, I tentatively agreed with Sophia.
"That doesn't mean you did the right thing! Even if you kept it from Siwoo, you should've at least told her about me!"
"I... did mention it."
Well, technically Louise already knew first.
"What?! So she knew and still seduced you? Wow, didn't peg her for that bold. And she still wants to join our party? Unbelievable."
"......Yeah."
Right, once is hard, twice is easy? Might as well keep it hidden to the end. Sorry, Louise... but she'll understand. Probably.
"Argh!"
As I inwardly sighed in relief, Sophia charged at me while hugging me, shoving me onto the bed. She climbed on top, grabbed my face with both hands, locked eyes with me, and gave a bitter smile.
"Oppa... Am I not enough? Can't you make do with just me?"
"Sopi..."
"Is it selfish of me to want you all to myself? Huh?"
"I'm sorry..."
Seeing her hurt like that broke my heart. I really had been too selfish. With a perfect girl like this, chasing others... Sophia was so kind; if she weren't, this could've ended in a bad end.
How do real harem protagonists build their harems? Do they not feel guilt? Maybe they're all psychopaths. Damn you, Siwoo.
But cutting ties with Louise now for Sophia's sake? That was tough too. Shockingly, maybe I was a psychopath as well. Sorry, Siwoo.
"Ahaha! What's with that face? I'm over it now."
As I stewed in confusion, Sophia looked at me and burst out laughing. She gave me a light kiss, snuggled into my arms, and hummed softly.
"What am I gonna do with this fickle guy~?"
This angelic girl had forgiven me. Grateful for the saintess's warm heart, I stroked her hair. If it had been Cecilia, she wouldn't have let it slide... Phew, Royal Road Hero Tale saved my ass.
"One thing I can say for sure: no matter when or where, you're always my number one, Sopi."
"Tch! You sure talk smooth. Hehe... But I love hearing it anyway."
With her anger fully dissipated, our saintess rubbed against me, enjoying my touch. Then she slowly started undressing me from the top. Guess all that clinging had gotten her worked up.
"Ugh, what're you doing?"
Suddenly, Sophia pressed her mouth to my collarbone and bit down hard. What? Punishment? It was cute, but so out of nowhere that I flinched in surprise.
"The goddess was right... What the hell have you been up to?!"
"...Sopi?"
"You idiot!"
A pitch-black night with no moon in sight. A lone succubus muttered to herself as she flew through the clouds. She was furious, grumbling and cursing someone nonstop. But listening closely, it sounded more like whining than real venom.
"That guy! Next time I see him, I'll make sure he can't think straight! Just you wait!"
"Doesn't matter if a human's got a nice dick—ain't letting him off!"
"Good sex doesn't mean everything! So... So... Arghhh!"
Charlotte, daughter of the Succubus Queen, still couldn't forget the man who'd taken her virginity. Their encounter had been so intense and thrilling that it might haunt her memories forever. That pissed her off. She hated how he'd treated her like an object, using her without a shred of care.
Yet despite that, Charlotte secretly missed him. It was the instinct of a succubus who loved sex. That's why she'd planted a tracking spell on his collarbone. She claimed it was for revenge, but really, it was to fuck him again. Though her revenge was sex anyway.
"You're done for! Next time, I'll make you cum the second you put it in!"
Right now, she was heading to see her mother. A virgin succubus's body grows to match her first partner's tastes after her debut. Charlotte hated that idea with a passion and planned to beg the Succubus Queen to stop it.
Logically, growing to his tastes would help with revenge, but she refused to admit it. She liked her body as it was.
"Bet you'll end up calling me Master? Hehehe! Yeah, you'll lick my toes and praise me! Then I'll say it: Never again with you!"
"You'll beg on your knees, but I'll ignore you to the end. Hmph! Jerk off to my sight forever!"
Giggling, Charlotte soared through the sky, thrilled just imagining it. While visiting her mom, she planned to learn all those techniques to drive men mad. She'd always ditched lessons before as too boring, but now she needed them.
"You'll regret pissing off the great Charlotte?! Kyaaah!"
Suddenly, she screamed like she'd been struck by lightning and plummeted to the ground. With a heavy thud, the fallen Charlotte lost consciousness.
"Sopi, you sure you don't wanna come?"
"Hmph! I can't stand the sight of that thieving cat. You and Siwoo go have fun without me."
"Sorry, but you know I love you, right?"
"Hmph... Think hugging me like this will cheer me up? It will. So hug me more often."
The day to leave Marta had finally arrived. Siwoo and I planned to bid farewell to Louise one last time. It would've been nice if Sophia came along, but she said she couldn't trust herself not to snap at the sight of her, so I told her to wait at the inn. Fixing their rift was gonna be a problem.
"Alright, be back soon."
"I'll be watching, so be careful."
"Ugh."
Watching meant that damn ability. Thinking about it again, it was such a pain. Don't make your saintess cry or whatever? But I'm your holy knight too, you know? Take care of me a bit.
