A Midnight Consultation with the Priestess (1)
A Midnight Consultation with the Priestess (1)
#
The blonde priestess entered without even knocking. She slipped into the room with cautious steps, nervously scanning the corridor behind her.
At the sight, the Holy Sword pouted.
"Why does she keep sneaking in at night like that? How many times is this now? One... two... three..."
"..."
Poor Reni. She thought she was being so stealthy, but every last move had been thoroughly exposed. Not just to people, but now even to a sword...
The Holy Sword curled her lip, her tone carrying clear disapproval.
"She's here, so I suppose you'll be going again?"
"No. Stay like this for a moment."
I was curious to see what this lewd priestess would do to me while I was asleep. That time she used my leg to masturbate, or... those were just guesses on my part. When would I ever get another chance to observe from a third-party perspective like this?
The Holy Sword's expression brightened a little at my answer. Come to think of it, it did feel like she kept getting interrupted whenever I was about to do something with this one. Maybe she'd been feeling a bit hurt, in her own way.
"But why is she always clinging to you like that?"
"..."
"Do you have some kind of dirt on her?"
"N-no. She actually likes it; she just says that sort of thing. You know, when a person gets all heated... th-there are times when they stop knowing what they’re saying..."
"So it's not just you tormenting her?"
...Was I tormenting her? No, there was no way.
"No, no, I'm telling you. Watch. That priestess, just give it a moment and she'll..."
"..."
"..."
"...She isn’t doing anything weird, is she?"
Reni wasn't pulling my pants off like usual... instead, she was just shaking my shoulder. Her face was full of dissatisfaction, as if something didn't sit right with her.
Hmm. Had I teased her so much about sneaking into my bed at night that she'd decided to wake me first from now on? That was a little disappointing in its own way. It was more fun to torment her under the pretext that she'd committed a crime...
The Holy Sword stared blankly at the screen, then suddenly turned to look at me with a strange expression, as if something didn't make sense to her.
"But that thing you two do... th-that's the baby-making thing, isn't it? The putting it in and taking it out..."
This idiot... her phrasing was so... graphic... and stupid... that my dick felt like it was going to shrivel up and die...
"That's right..."
"Then why do you touch her chest and do that other stuff?"
"....."
Oh man... my head... listening to this one talk was giving me a headache. Why touch her chest? Well, obviously... wait.
I pulled out the sex education book and flipped through it.
"..."
I knew it.
The damned book only explained how babies were made. Apparently, it said nothing about how good sex felt!
Then again, it was a book for children. If it said “Sex feels good,” parents would burn every copy and torch the publisher. Now that I thought about it, that was obvious. I should have given her porn manga as well as sex-education books!
Clutching my throbbing head, I began to explain.
"Okay. Listen carefully. Making babies is important, but. P-people also do that act because the, the act itself simply feels good. Not necessarily to make a baby, but just because the thing itself is pleasurable..."
"Liar. She's always crying and saying no, saying to stop. It's not just her, that long-haired one too..."
What part of that looked like she hated it?! Was the sex-education book giving her the wrong ideas, or was she simply stupid? Then again, a stupid Goddess and a stupid Holy Sword made a perfectly matched pair.
"No, look, you, you've seen it all. How many times she comes on her own at night. Would she do that if she hated it?"
"So you don't have dirt on her?"
"No. Just watch for a bit. Soon she'll start to..."
"She's crying?"
"...What?!"

"Sniff..."
Reni was utterly miserable.
No matter how much she shook him, he showed no sign of waking up.
It wasn't even that late yet, and he was already so deeply asleep. Had he pushed himself too hard during the day? She cast Cure, but still he didn't so much as twitch.
And she had come because she had something important to say.
There was something she hadn't told him at dinner. Something she couldn't say where there were so many eyes watching.
The curse placed on Niniel... the disease... whatever its true nature might be. There was no way it couldn't be undone with Divine Power. It mustn't be impossible. Elves, too, were creations of the Goddess.
She had told Ariel as much, but Ariel merely shook her head. Even High Priests of greater rank than Reni had given up on the matter.
But if it was Yoo-jin... if it was him, an Apostle of the Goddess, there would be a way. And that way was...
Merely thinking about it made Reni’s chest feel so tight that she couldn't sleep. But she couldn't ignore it, much less conceal it out of selfishness. That would not be right.
She felt as though something heavy was lodged in a corner of her heart, but it would be better to talk about it quickly.
And so she had come to him like this.
And yet here he was, lying there so utterly at ease!
Without the faintest idea of the feelings that had brought her here!
She had known from the start that she could not monopolise his Divine Power. But why, of all things... why had the Goddess made it in such a lewd way...
If it hadn't been that way, her own...
"Hic... snff!"
Reni wiped her nose. It was clear that there would be many more occasions like this in the future. If she behaved this way now, he might grow tired of her.
But that carefree face of his was utterly infuriating. Enough to make her want to torment him.
Looking back, he had always tormented her for trivial reasons.
In that case, yes. As he was so fond of saying, this time it was his turn to be punished.
#
Yes. She would make him suffer.
Reni pondered. How should she punish him? She had resolved to punish him, but her little head had no idea what kind of punishment to inflict. Reni reflected on past experiences.
At the Training Center, she'd been made to clean, write letters of reflection, and endure the switch...
...That didn't seem right.
"..."
After much deliberation, a conclusion emerged.
She would punish him the same way he did. Yes. He always drove Reni to the very brink of climax and then deliberately drew things out, leaving her hanging. Always... always! Every single time!
Her mood somewhat soured by old memories, Reni roughly pulled down his pants.
-Slap.
"Hyk?!"
His sprung member smacked Reni on the cheek. As if scolding her.
"...Y-Yoo-jin?"
"..."
Still no answer. Only the even breathing peculiar to his sleep reached her ears. Then why was it already standing? She called his name a few more times just in case, but he still didn't so much as twitch. He was definitely asleep.
In that case...
With trembling hands, Reni gripped his member and stroked it up and down. He seemed to enjoy it when she licked it, but he was being punished now. She would not do anything he liked.
Whenever his member twitched as if asking for more, she stopped her hand; when it settled down, she started moving again.
The act of keeping him in suspense continued for quite a long time.
To be specific, about ten minutes.
"Eek..."
It was long only by Reni's subjective measure.
Reni wasn't having any fun. If he had been awake, she might at least have enjoyed reactions such as his moans. But merely stroking him without any response was no fun.
Anyway, as she kept fiddling with his member like that, her body began to grow hot.
He still showed no sign of waking up... in that case, it would be fine to cool her body down a bit before punishing him.
In the first place, punishing a sleeping person was meaningless. But with all logic and reason long gone, Reni had little interest in such considerations.
Because when it came to Divine Power and lust, Reni was quite selfish and had very little patience.
"F-first... just once..."
Once she did it, the heat would subside a little.
Reni pulled up the plain robe she wore in place of sleepwear and bit down on the hem. It was a habit he had instilled in her without her even realizing it, but with her head so heated, Reni had no leisure to mind such things.
She hiked up the robe, took off her panties...
"Hah... hah..."
"..."
"Nngh... why... why won't it go in..."
"That won’t work. You can’t just try to drive your hips straight down. It keeps slipping away."
"Huh? Th-then how..."
"Hold mine and line it up with the entrance first."
"L-like this?"
"Yeah. Just like that."
"Nngh?! Ahh..."
"Hoo... how is it? Good?"
"I don't know—ehk?!"
Reni's face turned deathly pale.
#
He was looking up at her with a grin.
When had he woken up? He had unquestionably been asleep. Reni had checked both his breathing and the beating of his heart. How could he have awakened at precisely that moment?
"Ah, no. It's not. It's not what it looks like. That's not..."
Reni's hands trembled as she tried to get up, but—
"Euhht?! Ahng!"
He seized Reni by the waist and thrust upward. Each time his hips moved, she felt the strength drain from her entire body. She placed her hands on his chest to keep from collapsing, but he seemed to misunderstand and pulled her off balance into his arms.
"Nngh... mm... haah... w-wait just a moment... n-no, don't..."
As though words were unnecessary, he sucked on Reni’s lips. Reni tried to resist, but when she did not respond to the kiss, he continued thrusting upward as though displeased.
"Ah, ahk, n-no, don't, mph! Mmmph?! Nngh! Hahk!"
In the end, Reni had no choice but to part her tightly clenched lips. His snake-like tongue slipped through the small opening. Their tongues tangled thickly, his mouth moving insistently as though he would never release hers.
She had meant to punish him! She had meant to do it just for a moment! She had come to talk to him!
But the instant she tasted that movement of his tongue, Reni forgot whatever it was she had been thinking.
"Nngh, ah, ahh. Mm... nngh... haah... n-no, don't..."
Perhaps realizing that Reni had stopped struggling, he loosened the arm around her waist. His hand crept along her back and gradually moved around to the front...
"Ahht?!"
His hand slipped inside Reni’s bra.
"Nngh..."
But for some reason, he did not unfasten Reni’s bra and instead worked his hand inside it. She couldn't understand why, when it had to be uncomfortable for him. The bra. She needed to undo the bra.
It was absolutely not because Reni was dissatisfied. It was because he had to be uncomfortable. Reni reached back to remove the garment—
"Ahng?!"
Suddenly, he pinched Reni's nipple. And then he wrapped his arm around her again, restraining her so she couldn't move.
Reni realized at once. His bad habit had flared up again. He was tormenting her again.
"Eek...!"
Reni felt like she might cry.
"Why... why do you keep tormenting me...!"
"Torment? Reni. You're the one who pounced on a sleeping person first! And after all that talk about how I ought to restrain my lewd urges to pounce on sleeping people..."
Reni had nothing to say. But at the same time, she was angry. She had truly come to talk to him today, and he was denouncing her without even knowing it!
Angered, Reni lifted her head and rammed her forehead into his chest.
"Ahht?! Hngh! Hahnght!"
Had her feelings gotten through to him? He suddenly unfastened Reni's bra with rough movements and then seized her breasts. Goosebumps rose all over Reni's body, and her lower half grew a little damp.
"Hah... hah... ahk?!"
But he gave Reni no time to breathe.
"N-no, don't! Stop! Stop it!"
"Why do you keep talking to me like that?"
"Stop it! Ahk! Please stop! Hahk!"
....
"Haaaaaaahng!!!!!!!"

"You okay?"
Reni merely panted on top of my chest without answering. There was nothing else for it. I'd have to keep going until she came back to her senses.
"W-wait. Wait just a moment... n-not right now..."
"What do you mean, not right now? More lies..."
"I-it's not a lie. I have something, something to tell you..."
Now that she mentioned it, it was strange. Normally, she would have started pulling my pants off the moment she came in. Instead, she'd been making a fuss and shaking my shoulder.
...Had I misunderstood? No, she'd pulled my pants off in the end, so wasn't it the same thing either way?
Anyway, I gave Reni time to catch her breath. The night was short, but also long.
"So, what did you want to tell me?"
"..."
Reni steadied her breathing a few times, then looked up at me with a slightly tearful face.
"I-I think... w-we might need to t-try doing an amplification on Niniel... sniff..."
...What?
