Chapter 119 - The Pleasure Before the Storm!

"Klea. It'll be tough, but please endure it well..."

"Got it, Paul. Then... I'll go say goodbye to Sema and Lizbet."

In front of the building that served as the exam site, Klea, who had been listening to Paul, turned back toward me and Lizbet.

Paul had been droning on with worries that made my ears itch just hearing them. And Klea must have felt the same, because the moment she turned around, her smiling expression twisted into one of clear annoyance.

"Haa... what a pain in the ass..."

"Hehe. What a clueless, pathetic male, huh, Klea?"

"Yeah. As expected of a repulsive human stud—he seems more worried about the saintess exam than me."

As she approached us, badmouthing Paul like that, Klea let out a deep sigh. Then she lifted her face, and her expression shifted so drastically it was like she had split personalities, flushing with the look of a bitch in heat as she gazed at me. Even her voice tone changed as she purred in a coquettish whine, bidding me a reluctant farewell.

"I'll be back, Master...♡"

"Yeah. It'd be nice if you became a saintess, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Yesss...♡ But this time, even if I have to overdo it, I'll become a saintess and... be of use to you, Master."

"Puhuhu. Klea matters more than some saintess title."

I chuckled and gave her massive tits a discreet squeeze where Paul wouldn't notice, making Klea tremble with a joyful expression.

"Now, candidates, please enter!"

Right then, a priest shouted for the candidates to proceed inside. Klea waved goodbye to me and Lizbet with a wistful look, slowly walking away.

Hmm... "Be of use to me," she says... Klea's reaction makes it seem like she's already decided to become my bitch. Let's check her status window, shall we?

I quietly called up her status window toward her retreating back, and Klea's astonishing stats appeared.

Whoa... last night must've really worked wonders. The gains are insane. Four bitch skills have hit level 10 already. She's really close now, isn't she? And that favorability... Paul's already vanished from the picture? At this rate... once her exam's over, I can have her swear genuine submission and take her virginity. Time to plan that out.

"Hehe...♡ Klea's almost there, huh?"

Sensing my mood as I stared at the status window, Lizbet smiled up at me.

Yeah. Lizbet's been glued to Klea more than me, so she'd sense it without needing the window. Her smile felt like she knew something, giving me a slight sense of unease... but I've never mentioned the status window, so it must be my imagination.

After checking the status, Lizbet, Paul, and I watched as she entered the church building for the exam. Once Klea and the other candidates were inside, the massive doors shut, and heavily armed knights surrounded the place. It felt like not even an ant could sneak in—a solid escort. They'd said hero knights would guard it in shifts too... so no need to worry.

"...So for the next week, we just wait?"

"Ah, yes. Nothing special for the week, so why don't you two... sightsee the capital?"

Paul, staring wistfully at the closed doors, pondered my question before answering.

"I have to prepare for the exam's end and saintess selection... and supervise a couple of penance prayers over the week, so I won't have time to show you around."

He looked apologetic, but I had no intention of letting him tag along on my date with Lizbet anyway. Fine by me, Paul.

After chatting briefly with him, Lizbet and I decided to spend the week on our own and left the church.

"Perfect. You've been practicing that skill I taught you, right, Master? We can take quests and practice on monsters—ideal way to kill time."

Lizbet smiled warmly, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠pressing her tits against my arm as she clung to me.

Yeah, that was my plan too, but for today...

"Puhuhu. Yeah, starting tomorrow. Today, since it's getting late to head out, how about a date around the capital?"

"Kyaa♡ A proper date just the two of us after so long♡"

Might as well enjoy a date with Lizbet and scout the capital while we're at it. First time here, and I haven't really looked around.

***

And so, Lizbet and I strolled through the bustling streets of the capital, drawing stares as we enjoyed ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠our date. The streets were flashier and grander than Radia's—truly fitting for the royal capital.

Radia had surprised me with its advanced civilization beyond my isekai expectations... but it was still just "more developed than I thought." Here, though, the vibe and buildings screamed luxury—like some top designer had a hand in them. I'd heard Radia was second only to the capital, but this gap was huge. Must be how country folk feel first time in Seoul.

Lizbet, from some rural spot herself, sparkled with excitement beside me, eyes wide as she took it all in.

"Whoa, Master! Look at this fruit! So weird-looking!"

"Oh yeah? What's this? Haven't seen it in Radia."

One big difference: the street vendors sold stuff way different from Radia. Essentia distribution must suck. Travel between cities takes weeks even on fast routes without good transport.

Hence the gaps in ingredients and such. Hmm... if I put this stamina-packed horse body to work, I could make bank. Limits with just me, though.

Lost in such thoughts, giggling and laughing with bubbly Lizbet, we wandered happily—until I spotted a shop I couldn't ignore.

"...!? Th-that...!"

A women's shoe store, glass window displaying various footwear. And among them... something I'd never seen once in this world, something I'd missed!

"H-high heels!"

Yes! High heels! Thank god! Those tall heels! Pointy toes! Shiny, sexy shape!

When dressing Lizbet sexy, shoes were the one letdown—no decent options despite checking shops. Makes sense! Even paved streets are bumpy, unpaved ones everywhere—not heel-friendly. Plus, Radia's full of adventurers; no way they'd have heels. I'd given up.

Who'd have thought I'd find them here!

"...Hehe♡ Like those, Master?"

Like them? Hell yes! Heard they're hard on feet, but nothing makes a woman look sexier to a guy. Lizbet in my fave sexy outfit plus heels? Then Klea too? Parading them beside me? Haa... dizzying just thinking.

No way I'm passing this.

"Liz. Let's go in now. I'll buy you a pair."

"Hehe♡ I can tell how much you love them just from your face. Yeah, let's♡"

Hard to wear on streets, sure, but for short trips or ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠indoors? Perfect. Capital delivers. Good call on the date!

"Welcome...! Gah...!"

The middle-aged shop owner paled at my face. Ignoring it, I shoved my bitch forward and got straight to business.

"These. Show me heels that'd suit my woman!"

"Pft. Master, you're too excited. What high-heeled shoes do you have over there?"

"A-ah... y-yes. Heels, right..."

***

"Come again~"

The beaming owner waved us off. Midway, she'd calmed, heard of me, chatted laughing. Every time I picked killer heels, her face bloomed with smiles—suspiciously so.

Curious, I asked: turns out heels are party shoes even nobles wear indoors here. Pricey, don't sell well, so stockpile. Picking them nonstop? No wonder she's thrilled.

Pity. With better roads, they'd ship nationwide. Wasted as "party shoes"!

Anyway, snagged three pairs for Lizbet, three for Klea. All killer heels, sky-high. Lizbet trying them on nearly blinded me with sexiness—tears welled.

I've groped, licked, sucked Klea's feet rolling in bed, so sizes spot-on. Post-exam, gift 'em, satisfy my urges—dress 'em up together. Can't wait!

"Hehe. Kinda awkward... but pretty."

She'd slipped on a pair in-store, grabbed my arm, walked wobbly outside.

Since she started my outfits, only the plain flats bugged me. Now? Perfect Lizbet.

"Nothing to test yet. Uncomfy?"

"Hehe...♡ Master loves 'em this much. Gotta get used to it fast."

Mmm. Good girl. Can't stop grinning at her efforts to please me.

"Not as bad as I thought... Yeah. These shoes from ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠now on."

"Puhaha. Even so, wearing 'em everywhere'd be tough? Adventures await."

Thus, with my dutiful, sexily legged Lizbet, I wandered the capital in bliss till sunset.
