Chapter Title: My Corruption Value Shot Up Too Much... (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ugh.... Uh...."
I could barely remember how many times we'd gone at it.
Right after the first creampie, my Corruption Value had spiked straight to 35. The number jumped by 10 all at once, and the shiver that pierced through my entire body left me mindless for a while, pounding into her like a dog.
Luckily, Isabel—who still had some wits about her—had stuffed her breast into my mouth to muffle any sounds. If she hadn't, we might've already been goblin chow by now.
Anyway, after countless rounds, I finally came back to my senses. The floor around us was soaked in a puddle of her juices and my semen.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ You have had relations with Hero Isabel. Corruption Value +10. Current Corruption Value: +35. ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Penalties will be applied according to the increased Corruption Value. ⚙ PENALTY ⚙ Physical Weakness: Overall physical abilities drop to a child's level. Notably weak to sexual temptations, and even basic stamina training yields little effect. ⚙ PENALTY ⚙ Sensitivity Increase: Overall sensitivity rises dramatically. Erogenous zones become especially hypersensitive, with the increase equivalent to +10 on your current Corruption Value. The settlement notifications only popped up after the deed was done. My vision was filled with several translucent pink windows.
I'm totally screwed now.
What could I even say? It was done, and way too late to take back. To think my Corruption Value shot up this much from just one time—no dodging it now. I could only sigh deeply and lament.
"Haa.... Haa.... Priest, are you okay now?"
Lost in exhaustion from our mindless frenzy, her voice came in ragged gasps, barely audible. Glancing down, I saw Isabel under me, flushed and looking up.
Ah....
My mind went blank, like I'd been smacked in the back of the head. Only then did I roll off her and apologize profusely.
"S-Sorry."
I'd realized my mistake only after doing everything right and wrong. Not content with ravaging the hero who'd come to rescue me from goblins, I'd lost my mind and pounced anyway.
Sure, it was all because of whatever weird shit the goblins did to my body, but of all people... Isabel....
I'd needed to build a good image before she was chosen as the hero, and now I'd blown that chance spectacularly.
"N-No, it's fine. I got caught up in the drug too and lost control.... I could've held back more, but it was my fault. Sorry."
Isabel apologized first, though she hadn't done anything wrong. She carefully propped up her limp body and scanned outside.
"Let's talk later and get out of here first. We've been here way too long."
Grrrh-! Krut-!
As if answering her, fervent goblin shrieks echoed from beyond the wall. They'd finally noticed my escape, their ear-splitting roars coming one after another.
"Priest, can you stand?"
"Y-Yeah, one sec."
Isabel grabbed her scattered armor from the floor while keeping her eyes outside. I tried to rise using the wall for support, but soon lost balance and tumbled forward.
Ugh.... My legs....
A sharp pain shot through my ankle. My legs were massively swollen—god knows since when.
Standing was impossible in this state, let alone walking. I was a burden to Isabel again.
"Ah, you okay?"
Hearing my groans, Isabel crawled over on all fours. She frowned at my swollen legs.
"Looks like a break.... Can holy water do anything?"
"Ah.... My holy water can't heal me...."
"..."
If I could, I'd heal up and bolt, but it's not that simple. Priests can't heal themselves with their own holy water—no matter how much you slather on, no recovery, no effect.
You need another priest's holy water or a potion, and potions were nowhere around here.
"Ssp.... Hold on."
"O-Okay.... Ugh...."
Isabel slipped her arms between my legs and hoisted me up effortlessly. Unable to move, she planned to carry me out.
"Might be bumpy, but it'll be quick. Hang in there."
"O-Okay."
I clung to her neck to stay secure. She kicked off the ground and leaped, and finally, I escaped this hellhole.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Phew.... Finally out...."
Isabel had carried me, dodging goblin eyes every which way until we escaped their colony. She'd nearly twisted her ankle a few times, almost getting spotted, but she outran their detection.
Only after reaching a safe distance did she set me down. She must've been exhausted from the run, yet she pulled out a cigar and lit up without catching her breath.
"Thank you.... Isabel...."
"N-No, it's nothing. Just what anyone would do...."
"..."
Silence stretched after that. Ah.... So awkward. The air was thick enough to make even a single word feel embarrassing. No wonder—after what just happened, smooth talk would've been the oddity. Even if it was unavoidable drug-fueled madness, the sensations lingered vividly in our bodies.
Isabel seemed to be trying to stay composed, but....
"Ah! Hot.... Phew...."
She wasn't in her right mind either. Face turned away, but her hand trembled holding the cigar.
Come to think of it.... Isabel was a virgin....
When I'd pushed in about halfway, there'd been that tight resistance. In the heat of the moment, I'd brushed it off, but now I realized it was her hymen tearing.
Thinking about it... I'd taken her first time....
Even if hymens aren't a big deal in this world, the mood matters. People want their first to be memorable in a good place, and I'd brutally shattered that for her.
"Phew.... Phew...."
Isabel puffed rapidly on her cigar. My head spun, but hers probably throbbed worse. Sleeping with a priest left her conflicted, plus she'd gotten swept up and messed up big time—impossible not to be rattled.
Haa.... How do I face her now....
In a year, she'd be chosen as the hero. Then we'd be stuck together 24/7 except sleeping until the final boss was dead. No confidence in facing her like this.
Every glance would replay today's events automatically.
And it was her first time, too....
Bound to be even more awkward.
"P-Priest...."
"Yes?"
"N-Never mind."
Isabel started to speak, then turned away with a complicated expression, messing up her hair pitifully.
Still, I should take the lead and decide this quickly?
As the guy here, my words would set the tone.
Dwelling on it seriously would make things hell for both of us, but handling it right could spare us blushes during our year together post-hero selection.
"I-Isabel?"
"Yes?"
She whipped around, eyes wide, like she'd been waiting for me to speak.
Her gaze said she wanted me to settle it.
"L-Let's just pretend it never happened."
"Huh?"
"It was a mistake, right? I was drugged, and in that tight space, you got dosed too. If we both act like nothing happened, wouldn't that be fine?"
"..."
"You know.... Telling anyone would be weirder.... I won't dwell on it. It was all spur-of-the-moment, so let's just quietly move past it...."
I sneaked peeks at her. Pretending it didn't happen would be easiest for both, but it depended on her take.
"Yeah.... It was all spur-of-the-moment...."
Thankfully, Isabel agreed positively. She seemed to understand.
"Then that's settled. And, uh.... about your hymen... really sorry."
"Eh!?"
Her voice spiked at "hymen." I jolted, fur standing on end, as her face flushed crimson and she stammered.
"H-Hymen? Wh-What hymen...."
"Ah, yeah.... I accidentally...."
"A-Ah...."
Isabel's face turned beet red, like it might explode. I tilted my head, then realized my slip-up too late.
Ah.... Shouldn't have said "hymen"....
I'd mixed up worlds and blurted out nonsense without thinking.
