Chapter Title: Doctor Gam Deok-bae (37)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Despite being a virgin, Marsha was utterly hooked on the pleasure she felt for the first time. She shook her hips with expert skill, squeezing her already tight pussy...
Whether it was pure instinct or something she'd picked up from Maria, it was one hell of a cowgirl position. Purely in terms of the sex itself, it was pure satisfaction.
However, deflowering a virgin wasn't something to celebrate without a care.
The 'Arbo Somnium' card was gone.
And on top of that, Maria had found out about yesterday...
'Hoping against hope, I came to check—and sure enough.'
'Ma, Maria?!'
'But Marsha, you too... Attempting rape pure love? You're something else, aren't you?'
She said she'd keep it a secret, but there was a high chance she'd blab to Iris anyway. No matter how you sliced it, she was a Lehinar family servant. I'd been burned once or twice already. Falling for it again here would make me the idiot. And I wasn't an idiot.
But with one unexpected snag after another...
Sigh, how the hell was I supposed to fix this?
It'd be easier if I were the idiot. As the plan crumbled, my head throbbed.
Because of that, I couldn't even muster a proper reaction when I saw Serphin in her new outfit. True to its 'virgin-slaying clothes' reputation, it was innocently pure yet packed devastating punch... Ah, damn it. In this world, things rarely went my way. The challenge's stress was way bigger than I'd imagined. No wonder it cost 4 million points.
"Don't worry too much, Luin. I really will keep it secret this time, okay? It's partly my fault for teaching Marsha about sex... Hehe, relax."
"......Hmm."
"Oh? What's with that face? You enjoyed it too, Luin! You came right in her womb!"
"Th-that's... true, but."
"So drop the sour expression already. It's no one's fault!"
The same woman who'd just admitted her own blame flipped her stance like that... Maria was one scary lady. But putting that aside, the NTR wasn't finished yet. She was right—there were still chances left, so it was too soon to panic.
In exchange for losing the 'patient' card,
a new one called 'Marsha Rune Treatment' had appeared.
Couldn't I leverage that to take down Serphin too?
Marsha had signaled she felt great and wanted more in the future. It didn't seem impossible. Pair treatment with a jealousy ploy, and there was potential. Hell, even without potential, I had to try. Yeah—the Mapo Bridge didn't collapse, so let's push to the end. I forcibly cranked my positive thinking into gear.
"Luin! Come on in!"
"Hello—! Long time no see!"
But talk about this... another variable cropped up.
Chloe Yates.
Why was the heroine showing up here?
Nice to see her, sure, but the stress of handling her was already kicking in.
On my tenth birthday, showered with everyone's congratulations—that was the day my life changed. Along with random flashes of memories from my past life came a special ability in my hands. I could read people's emotions, thoughts, and secrets. It felt like I'd hit the cheat code jackpot.
And unlike my previous life, I had parents who actually loved me...
Was this compensation for the lonely, bleak existence I'd endured before?
This time, I was the protagonist of my own story.
Born to rural nobility in the boonies, no bullying brothers, plenty of people who adored me. The only downside? Science lagged hard. Sure, there was this amazing thing called 'magic'...
But what the hell! Almost everything was war-related tech! Who knew this world lacked proper cosmetics...
Tallying it up one by one, the gripes didn't stop there.
Once those past-life memories surfaced, the annoyances piled sky-high.
But... I had knowledge and status, right?
Enlightened, I convinced my parents. Born a noble lady, I didn't shy from getting my hands dirty. I put my half-baked knowledge to work through trial and error, scouted reliable artisans, prototyped... and just like that, I became a famed inventor in the kingdom.
And my past-life name turned into a famous brand.
The 'MINA' logo, plastered everywhere on the streets.
I never sought fame... but money's always right!
To repay my grateful parents, I dove into business full-throttle. Luck smiled—I landed a solid patron and expanded to the capital. Man, the capital's great. Scenery took a hit, but dazzling buildings everywhere fed the eyes.
Each one screamed wealth, you know?
I was dreaming of striking it rich and remodeling a mansion when...
Y-you idiot!
Distracted for a second, I got kidnapped.
"Daring to pull this in the heart of the capital?"
"H-heek?!"
-Sching
"They're out of their minds."
"Kie... ack."
But I'm the protagonist this life.
When crisis hit, the prince swooped in to save me.
A handsome black-haired hunk at first glance. Face mostly hidden, but I could tell—this guy was his life's protagonist too. Deep voice, killer build, top-tier sword skills... What the hell, this stud's hogging all the perks!
But did I care? Nah.
Men held zero appeal.
Thanks to PTSD from my last life, I was a committed singleton.
Screw men! I'd make bank, live happily with Mom and Dad. That was plenty. Grateful for the rescue, but I didn't want deeper ties. So I tossed a quick thanks and rushed to the kid who'd tripped because of us. Comforting a crying child beat fussing over some mystery guy.
'Hehe, this is the spot that hurts, right?'
'Wow... yeah, how'd you know?!'
'Obvious when you see it. Big sis is special.'
Looking back, that was my mistake.
Showing off a bit of my ability sparked his interest.
Turns out the guy I met by chance was this kingdom's prince... No joke, the real deal. Couldn't turn down his invitation to team up. Even with my past-life memories, he was a prince. Piss him off, and my folks might end up in a cell with me.
In the end, I reluctantly became Lucius's personal physician.
But my jobs? 'Hunt black mage traces' and 'identify black mage curses.'
Th-this is kinda dangerous, isn't it?
Wanted to refuse... but snivel—a rural noble like me couldn't say no.
'Yes. Oh, and...'
'And?'
'Here! Wound on your arm! Ignore a small cut and it could turn bad!'
At least Lucius didn't know all my abilities yet—small mercies.
Thrown into danger, I maxed my powers, picking only choices that boosted his favor. Gotta bank goodwill for if I slipped up later. Lucius's mind was weirdly foggy with black mist, tough to read... but heh, I'm a protagonist too. Nothing impossible.
But following the 'right' path with Sirius then Lucius felt suffocating. Like my free will vanished. Great in a game, but... ugh, this is reality. Being forced like that made me miserable.
For business, for survival,
I hated having to pick only the safe options.
Plus, both Sirius and Lucius looked at me funny. Good guys, sure... but hmm, Sirius was hot yet childish, Lucius too dark and brooding. Without my ability, it'd be fine... but I was special.
Handsome, yeah—but flawed.
Sirius craving reliance, Lucius wanting coddling.
Handsome doesn't mean entitled to everything!
They had cute moments that swayed me sometimes... agh, no. Screw men. I'd stick with cozy family life. If a guy's gotta be involved, that doctor from before was better.
Dirk Luin—the first guy whose mind I couldn't read.
Just a brief chat, but so relaxing it stuck with me. No reading thoughts, crafting perfect replies, acting accordingly... no hassle. Minds showing up always stressed me out; his blank slate was low-fatigue bliss.
Wish we could at least be friends...
Oh, right—he's Sirius's physician now?
Time to grant a Sirius favor, use Iris as an excuse to visit? Feels good planning proactively for once. People need agency to thrive. Re-energized, I grinned ear-to-ear and headed to Sirius.
