A New Justification! (2)
“Ah...! Mr. Sema. Ms. Lizbet. Hello.”
As we stepped through the church's main gate, Klea, who had been sitting on a bench in one corner of the grounds, smiled and greeted us. The distance was a bit far for a greeting... but she spotted us from there even though she's blind. Klea's senses seemed almost better than sight itself.
We returned the greeting to Klea as she stood up, and she beamed brightly before trotting over to us with quick steps. Her expression had looked incredibly dark while she was sitting on the bench... Was I seeing things? No, her smile now was so joyful it didn't match—like she'd just reunited with someone she missed dearly. She almost reminded me of a puppy wagging its tail.
“It's been so long since you visited. Was there something going on?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah, about a week, right...”
I'd been stopping by every day until Lizbet declared her breakup with Als, after which my visits just stopped cold. Stuck inside the church all the time, she must've been bored out of her mind.
But now that I'd finally cleared the obstacle between Lizbet and me, there was no way I'd let this slide.
“Hehe...♡ Were you lonely, Klea?”
“Ah, y-yes!? N-no, that's not... You just stopped coming suddenly, so I was worried something might've happened...”
“Kek...♡ Didn't I tell you last time? Once the guild's set up, I can satisfy Master♡”
“Ah... Y-you did... C-congratulations on the guild founding...”
For some reason, Klea's expression darkened sharply...
“Oh, and Klea—there's something else I wanted to tell you...”
“Yes? What...?”
“Remember that contract where you agreed to relieve my sexual tension? Well, the armor's all finished now...”
“Yes!?”
Klea's face, which had seemed to darken, now paled unmistakably.
“A-already!? There's still some time left...!”
“No, we said about two months, but I didn't specify exactly. I went to the smithy today, and they said it was done, so I picked it up...”
Watching Klea's expression start to crumble into teary-eyed panic made me feel a little guilty... But damn, she'd fallen for me this hard already? Way beyond what I'd expected—it was throwing me off.
“...Hehehe...♡”
Lizbet just stood there quietly chuckling at Klea, like she was finding the whole thing hilarious.
What should I say here? None of the lines I'd prepared felt right for Klea right now. Was there some perfect option I was missing?
As if reading my mind, Lizbet stepped forward with a giggle and started speaking to Klea.
“Hehe...♡ Good for you, Klea.”
Huh? Good for her how?
“The contract's ending with your purity intact, so no need to worry about Baul finding out anymore, right? Now it's all over—you can go back to him with peace of mind♡”
...Wait, what? What the hell was Lizbet saying?
Was she seriously getting jealous now, after all this!?
“And since you've got experience serving Master, you can put it to good use even after marrying Baul. Hehe♡ Congrats in advance on the wedding~♡”
“Eek... N-no, but... Mr. Sema is...”
Klea's face twisted like it was rotting away... Wait, no—this wasn't jealousy on Lizbet's part. She was trying to make Klea jealous?
“Don't worry about Master♡ I've got him covered now♡ From here on out, I'll be the one relieving all his sexual needs♡”
“Ah, no... Ms. Lizbet, you and Mr. Als...!”
“Hehe♡ That pathetic male? We broke up ages ago♡ Sema's my lover and my Master now♡”
“Ah, eek...!”
Klea bit her lower lip, her body trembling. She hung her head with a strange mix of anger and sadness, crumpling the hem of her nun's habit in her shaking hands.
Lizbet giggled mockingly and closed in on Klea, provoking her further.
“Oh? What's this, Klea? Feeling regretful? A saint candidate with a lover like Baul—surely you're not pining for Master over your own man~? Kekeke♡ Nah, couldn't be~?”
“Eek, eek...!”
Uh... Should I stop this? While I hesitated, Lizbet leaned even closer and whispered into Klea's ear.
“Hehehe...♡ Well...♡ Of course Master...♡ is a magnificent male beyond any other♡”
Klea flinched, her shoulders jerking at Lizbet's whisper right by her ear.
“Strong enough to lift a woman with one hand...♡ His body always reeks with the beastly, masculine scent that could twist your nose out of shape...♡”
Nose-twisting reek!? For real!? Nah, I've been showering fine lately!
“Other males are so small you can wrap both hands around them...♡ But his massive horse cock that neither I nor your huge tits could fully grasp...♡”
“Eek... Ahh...”
Klea's face started flushing red...
“That scorching heat pulsing from his horse cock♡ That intoxicating, musky horse cock smell, thick with his potent manly aroma♡”
“Hah... Hah... Hnng...♡”
Her trembling shifted from angry shivers to needy twitches... and hot sighs escaped her lips.
“And above all...♡ His horse semen...♡ Hehe♡ That ecstatic beastly, masculine scent that forces females to submit♡ Sweeter and thicker than anything in this world, sticking in your throat with that flavor♡”
“Ah, n-no, stop...♡”
Klea whimpered differently now—not from sadness—and Lizbet watched with gleeful chuckles.
“Too bad...♡ You won't get to feel it anymore, Klea♡”
“......!”
Lizbet stepped back, bent at the waist, and stared down at her.
“Hehe...♡ No use looking at me like that...♡ It's all mine now♡”
“......”
Klea glared at Lizbet with pure enmity, like she was staring down an enemy.
I got what Lizbet was going for, but... was this the right way? I didn't want my females—especially not Klea, who was about to become one—fighting like this...
“Hehehe...♡ If you want it that badly, Klea... there is a way...♡”
“W-what... did you say? A... way...?”
The tense air between the two shifted at Lizbet's words. Klea's furious expression softened a bit as she urged her on.
“...What way...?”
“Kekekeke...♡ Well, you see...♡”
Lizbet drew out her words, and Klea swallowed hard, waiting—
“Klea!! Oh? Mr. Sema and Ms. Lizbet are here too!?”
Baul called out, approaching from the church gate.
“...Hah. Fuck...”
Lizbet's face twisted at Baul's voice, a tiny curse slipping from her lips.
“Perfect timing! I was just about to look for you all... Uh, ahem...”
Baul approached, glanced around at us, then froze upon seeing Lizbet. Her transformed appearance had clearly short-circuited his brain.
Lizbet quickly switched to a smile, sidled up beside me, and looked up at Baul.
“Ahem... Ms. Lizbet... You've become quite bold...”
“Kekeke...♡ This is the real me, Bishop Baul♡”
“I... see. Ahem... And Mr. Als...?”
“We broke up. He went back to his hometown.”
Lizbet's smile turned icy at Als's name, and Baul blinked blankly before nodding.
“Must be some circumstances. Understood. Can't be helped.”
Huh? Can't be helped? Baul's flustered expression had snapped back to serious awfully quick—like there was more to it.
“Even without Mr. Als, I have a favor to ask you two. It concerns Mr. Sema directly, actually.”
Me? What was this about?
“It's important. Klea too—please come hear me out in my room.”
We nodded at Baul's solemn words and followed him to the bishop's quarters.
