Priest’s Chastity and Awakening (1)

#

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold on hold on hold on. Cancel, cancel!!! I'm refusing delivery!!!!!"

-Ding-a-ling-a-ling!

[System: You cannot refuse delivery.]

"Hey!!!!"

The system kept repeating the final note of the alert an octave higher. That bastard was mocking me, wasn’t it?

[A Sex Warrior Respects All Tastes (E)]

[Description: A Sex Warrior will come to respect a wide variety of tastes.]

The system didn't stop there. It shoved the trait window in my face and kept flogging the joke long after the punch line. I wanted to unleash a torrent of curses at the author, but I restrained myself. I was a man of character. It was absolutely not because that bastard frightened me.

Various tastes, though...

I had no idea what it meant. What was with that vague explanation? It would make me respect a variety of tastes?

All tastes.... N-no way, it couldn't be what I was thinking, right?

First, a test. I tried imagining what “various tastes” meant. The first thing that came to mind was...

Imagining myself fucking a skeleton... Ugh. Bone-fucking right from the start? The memory of that bastard was still too vivid. Bone-fucking was out.

Next, I imagined fucking a furry beastkin... Nothing. Then a dragon raping a car... I didn't feel any urge to respect that either.

Fucking a block of wood... not arousing. A human-faced dog... ugh. Monster girls had always turned me on. Next... pedophilia? Begone!!!!!!!!

Then finally, some other bastard next to Reni...

"Grrrrrrr.... Arf arf arf arf...."

...My blood boiled. I was so furious I felt dizzy.

At any rate, mercifully, it didn't seem like I'd come to respect NTR.

That trait didn't seem to be corrupting my mind in any particular way. So what the hell was it?

...I'd have to pretend the trait didn't exist. One Golden Ticket had gone completely to waste. Right. The author’s betrayals always came in pairs. In any case, there was nothing left for me here.

"Reni, let’s head ba—guh-hurk."

Reni was standing behind me like a ghost. W-why on earth?

"Sh-shall we go back?"

"Yes... yes."

#

On the way back, Reni was hugging my arm tight.

"Today... I absolutely must..."

What on earth was she planning to do today? She'd been muttering about extracting it or whatever since earlier.

"You okay?"

"Hah! Yesyesyesyes!!!!"

"What's been on your mind so much since earlier..."

"C-come to think of it!!!!"

What an obvious change of subject! Having shut me down like that, Reni took a moment to steady her breathing.

"That... person? That wizard."

"Yeah."

"That... why did he suddenly... d-do something like that in the middle of a fight?"

"..."

...That was because I made that bastard so horny he lost his mind. Even though I was the one who did it, it was genuinely terrifying. But... so she knew everything after all...

"Uh, that, I, I have this, what's it called. A technique that confuses the mind, you see. Th-that bastard looked a bit off his rocker, right? So he seemed more susceptible to it. Yeah. Definitely."

Since it made you so horny you couldn't think about anything else, calling it mental confusion was correct. Technically, it wasn't a lie. I was in the clear.

"Wow...!"

Reni's emerald eyes were sparkling as if they held a cluster of stars inside them.

"You really are amazing. You can use alchemy, you have combat skills, and even magic like that! Just as I thought, Yoo-jin, you're...!"

Her eyes shone so intensely that it was almost uncomfortable. Those were all sex skills. I was not nearly as impressive as she thought!

But I couldn't tell her. What was I supposed to do if the day came when I could no longer sustain this lie? It was frightening... terrifying...

Afraid of Reni's eyes—reverent, as if she wanted to devour me—I had no choice but to turn my head away.

After washing and dinner came the day’s buff session, which had already become part of our routine.

"W-wait, just a moment!"

"Why?"

Reni flinched a few times, then opened her mouth as if she'd made up her mind.

"U-um... I feel bad that I'm always the only one receiving a m-massage. And you pushed yourself so hard today, Yoo-jin..."

"I didn't, though?"

"You overexerted yourself!!!"

She cut ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠me off! Reni, who used to be all flustered over the smallest things, had gradually started asserting herself.

Now she was even cutting me off. Aggressive. Hot. Take me. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Crush me beneath you. Strong women... warped lust...

"So?"

"T-today I'll... do it for you."

"No buff?"

"We'll just do it tomorrow morning anyway..."

"Really? Okay."

Taking a day off like that once in a while wouldn’t be bad.

"Uh, please lie on your stomach."

Soap play suddenly came to mind, but expecting such a thing from an innocent cleric was unreasonable. I would have to try it someday, though—lotion spread all over, everything slick and sticky...

I lay on my stomach as she asked, and I heard a rustling sound from beside me. When I glanced back, Reni was climbing onto the bed. What on earth was she doing?

"No, not like that. It's harder to do it from the side. Get on my back."

"...Eh?"

“Hurry. This is basic stuff. Basic.”

"Ugh... okay... th-then...."

Reni pulled her robe up to her pale thighs and tied it in place. Right. That would make it easier to get on. Only a little above her knee was exposed, but that appealed to my fetishes even more. The feel of her calf against my side. Whew...

Unsatisfying.

Reni had climbed onto my back, but she remained kneeling upright, apparently worried about putting her weight on me. Having to teach her even this... Sometimes innocence was poison.

"Reni. Just sit down comfortably."

"Huh?!"

Talking was becoming bothersome. I rocked my hips, bumping them against Reni’s thighs and butt.

"O-okay!"

Whoof... Reni's soft thighs and firm butt finally settled onto my back... whoof...

"Good. I'm ready. Now do whatever you want."

"Okay!"

...

"Ah, nice, right there."

"Ugh..."

"That side's nice too. Whoo... keep going."

"Hrrr..."

"Sho... shoo gooood..."

"Yoo-jin!!!!"

The tomato shrieked.

"Why?"

"Don't make weird sounds!"

"But it feels good. Besides, this is what I hear every night."

"When did I ever do thaaaat!!!!!"

"I caaan’t!!! Nooo!!!"

"Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!!"

I imitated the sounds I heard every night in a shrill falsetto, and Reni finally screamed. As though that wasn't enough, she began pounding my shoulders with her fists...

-Thwack! Thwack!

This was no longer a massage. Those were genuine punches.

Still... Reni had cried not long ago, begging me not to abandon her, and now she was expressing her feelings this openly. I almost teared up. This meant our relationship had grown this close, right?

Thinking about it that way, getting hit like this felt pretty good...

-Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

It hurt.

"Alright, I get it. I won't. I won't do it."

"Hoo... hoo...."

If I continued, she'd genuinely sulk. This was the perfect moment to stop.

...

The massage itself was mediocre. Reni was not strong enough to do it properly, but the fingers carrying Cure felt pleasantly cool, so it wasn't entirely bad.

"Thanks. It felt good."

"Haah... haah... okay..."

"Then now it's my turn..."

"No! You need to rest!!!!"

She sure was shouting a lot today. She must've gotten cautious after I knocked her out yesterday. Fine. Taking one day off wasn't so bad either.

Before I knew it, it was time to sleep. If we just cleared the last dungeon tomorrow...

#

-Ding.

I woke in the middle of the night.

Heat Release had become routine. Unfortunately, 「Sex Warrior’s Performance」 couldn't remove 「Heat State」. It was apparently an inherent class penalty, leaving no possible loophole.

In any case, I still had my nightly tasks. First I made a Holy Bomb. Since I had also used the Holy Sword’s Divine Power in the dungeon, I needed to recharge it.

[Holy Sword 「Esplender」]

[Divine Power: 300 / 300]

[Vital Essence: 0 / 600]

Good. I had drained today’s supply as well. More than half of it would return by the time I woke. Starting tomorrow, this really would be the end of this routine...

#

'Gasp!'

Yoo-jin woke up again. A chilly sensation was creeping between his legs. Had he kicked off the blanket in his sleep?

As he was about to close his eyes, Yoo-jin suddenly sensed something off.

'Reni's not here?'

Where had she gone? Just as he tried to get up, he heard a rustling sound from outside the bed. The bathroom... right. Yoo-jin closed his eyes again.

Just as his consciousness began to fade once more—

"Yoo-jin?"

"..."

"Are you asleep?"

'...What?'

"Haah...."

'What! What's going on?! What are you doing?!'

Reni was pulling down Yoo-jin’s pants! He clenched his teeth, suppressing the sound threatening to escape. What in the world was she doing?!

And soon came the sensation... of cool fingertips!

‘Good heavens, Reni! Weren’t you an innocent cleric?! You were completely debauched! Raping me in my sleep?! That was way too explicit!!!!!’

Regardless of Yoo-jin's shock, blood was steadily rushing to his lower body.

But...

Yoo-jin's blood quickly ran cold.

"Hic... sniff...."

Reni was crying.

"Why... why won't it come out today toooo... hic..."

'Again today?! She's done this several times?! Why?'

"Hic... Divine Power... I want it... sniff...."

"..."

Divine Power... so that was it. A chill filled Yoo-jin’s heart.

Reni must have seen what he did in the basement that time. She knew that Yoo-jin's semen was a mass of Divine Power. She wanted it that badly... so she...

'And I had dragged it out while thinking about making her entire body lewd... I had been stringing Reni along with false hope.'

He already knew about Reni's desperate desire for Divine Power. Even so, he'd acted only to satisfy his own lust.

Pretending to talk in his sleep, Yoo-jin flipped his body over. Contrary to his feelings, blood was rushing to his lower body again. If he got hard right now, he'd fall into self-loathing.

"Hik!"

Reni's startled yelp.

"...Yoo-jin... are you asleep?"

"..."

Reni carefully pulled Yoo-jin's pants back up, then climbed up to his side, turned her back, and sniffled softly.

'To hell with erogenous-zone training. Tomorrow, I'm scrapping the dungeon and everything else.'

"Hic... sniff...."

'I'll just talk to her honestly and see it through to the end. No more halfway stages. I have to do things the way Reni wants.'

Yoo-jin closed his eyes, burdened by conflicting emotions.

#

Reni had her own reasons. His touch, delivered under the pretext of amplification, grew lewder by the day. On top of that, her own feelings...

There was definitely a relationship between amplification and the degree of lewdness. The better it felt, the stronger the amplification became.

But if things kept going like this, what lay at the end? If he demanded it, could she refuse?

She could not claim that she didn't want him. In fact, she did. But desire wasn't the issue. Whether she wanted him or not, her body could not accept him while it remained bound.

What if Yoo-jin became disappointed in her? If that was the case, maintaining their current relationship somehow was the best option.

But... she couldn't give up on Divine Power either. So Reni made up her mind to steal Divine Power.

That was why Reni had offered to massage Yoo-jin instead of receiving amplification herself. If he amplified her until she fainted again, she wouldn't be able to secretly collect Divine Power during the night.

By Reni’s own logic, the plan was rational. Objectively, it was nothing but confusion.

But if Yoo-jin demanded her... could she refuse?

#

"I'm not going to the dungeon today."

"Huh?"

Yoo-jin's voice was a little subdued.

"I think I finally understand the buff. The permanent increase in Divine Power that you wanted—I'm going to make that happen today."

"Ah..."

A short sigh. Reni also sensed that the atmosphere was different.

...

Yoo-jin was deeply troubled.

Unless he removed the 「Saintess’s Trial」, Reni’s Divine Power would probably stay the way it was. But how was he supposed to resolve it?

He had considered a plan: going into the dungeon and pretending to die while protecting Reni. But that would mean toying with her heart. Was it truly acceptable? Could he bring himself to deliberately inflict trauma on someone who had been perfectly healthy?

In that case...

In that case, it would ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠be better to overwrite that Saintess’s Trial or whatever it was with another buff. It would take quite a lot longer, but the safer path was preferable to hurting her for no reason.

...

Reni had washed up for the buff. Yoo-jin had likewise washed up in the public bath.

The atmosphere was palpably tense, unlike their usual playful sessions, and Reni stiffened under its weight. Yoo-jin forced his pounding heart to settle before speaking.

"Reni. The last stage of the buff is..."

Damn it, what ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠buff? To hell with it.

“...Reni. I want to hold you.”
