Priestess’s Fun Time (1)
Priest’s Fun Time (1)

I couldn't pull myself together.
First, Kate had said something incomprehensible. What did she mean that I would be disappointed in Reni? And what exactly was she offering to do for me? Then Reni suddenly slammed the door open and dragged me away.
As I was being hauled along, the Kate I glimpsed looked like a parent who'd just watched her kid go off the rails. Half shocked, half dazed.
Dragging me out, Reni slammed the office door shut again—
"Higk?!"
...I mean, you were the one who closed it. Why'd you close it yourself and then get startled? What on earth was wrong with her?
The moment we were outside the office, Reni huffed and looked up at me. When I just stared back, incredulous, her face crumpled all of a sudden. Had she been mistaken about something?
"Y-Yoo-jin..."
"What's going on?"
"Ah, well, um..."
"Yeah?"
"Luggage! My luggage! I have a lot of it in my room, so... I-I wanted a little help..."
"Yeah? Alright."
"Yes... thank you..."
Reni looked like she was amazed she'd acted that way. Even though she'd been the one stomping around like that.
...
Reni's room resembled the guest room where I'd stayed, but it was more worn. She owned little beyond a few bundles and bags packed with clothes.
Well, she'd already packed everything up when we left for Riverbridge last time. But since I was here, maybe I should look around a little. It was my first time in a girl's room, after all.
...
The room was the picture of simplicity. One wardrobe, one bookshelf, a desk and a bed, nothing more. Still, it felt lived in.
The corners of the bed and desk had been worn smooth and rounded by long use. Had she sat here to pray? For some reason, the rounded edge felt satisfying under my fingers.
"Ahh... ah..."
As she watched me stroke the edge, Reni let out a moan I couldn't quite parse.
"Y-Yoo-jin. P-please put this away..."
Putting luggage into the inventory wasn't really something you needed to ask for help with.
"Doesn't seem like there's anything for me to do."
At that, Reni fidgeted, then opened her mouth as if she'd made up her mind.
"Ah, um... wh-what did you talk about with Priest Kate?"
Let's see. What had she said? There was nothing to hide, really.
"She said that if I became disappointed in you, I should go to her. She said she'd do it for me instead."
"Ah... ahh..."
Reni's face went red in an instant.
"But what did she mean by disappointed?"
"Ah... um... I-I still haven't... told Priest Kate yet..."
"Told her what?"
"Th-that... I broke the oath..."
"...Ah. I see."
It all made sense now.
Kate had gone on about being disappointed or whatever because she figured I'd throw Reni away for not being able to have sex.
No, even if we couldn't have sex, I would never have abandoned her. I didn't believe everything had to be done that way. Her thinking was rather rigid, perhaps because she was a cleric; the human body had many places capable of giving pleasure.
I truly had not realized she had kept it secret. My vague wording had contributed, but I had not expected Reni to say nothing.
Well, I supposed telling someone whether you'd broken the oath was a little... yeah, that was a bit much. Kate seemed to act like a guardian and older-sister figure, so saying it had been broken was basically the same as saying we'd had sex.
...But then, she had said she'd do it herself instead.
Kate... she looked so strict, but that was unexpected. Using her own body for Reni's sake... hm...
Reni looked helpless. Her eyes moved to the door, then back to me. She seemed torn between guilt toward Kate and worry about what I might do. I wanted to tease her a little.
"Hmm... Kate went that far. Wouldn’t she only feel reassured if I amplified her once too?"
Reni looked ready to cry at that... then she saw my face and realized I was joking.
"P-Priest Kate doesn't need amplification!"
"But she said she'd do it instead of you, right? You can't just ignore that kind of earnest offer, can you?"
"...Nngh..."
"And you were the one who said it earlier. What was it? That I needed to bestow my abilities on more people?"
"Eek!"
-Thwack! Thwack!
She threw herself at me instantly and started pounding on my chest.
I didn't know when Reni had become so violent. It had probably begun after I tormented her feet, when she grabbed at my hair to make me stop. Apparently the habit had stuck.
Hm... actually, I'd love it if she clawed at my head again. Maybe I should really wind her up on purpose today.

In the end, we didn't tell Kate that Reni had broken her oath. We also decided to wait before telling her that Reni’s Divine Power increase was permanent. We could explain it after settling in West Keep, once we had Reni firmly in our grasp and Kate could no longer take her back.
So I just told her not to worry. I also said I'd never throw her away.
At those words, Kate’s stern eyes softened and filled with tears.
"I-I seem to have misjudged you. Once you're settled, please be sure to contact me. I'll repay you, without fail."
Even her voice caught. Hearing her, Reni’s eyes grew damp as well.
I honestly didn't know what the two of them were up to. Did they have no shame, putting on a melodrama in broad daylight like that?
Kate dabbed at her eyes and steadied her voice.
"Take these."
What Kate held out was a pair of necklaces with blue magic stones.
"It's nothing much, but you can send a signal with them."
"Ah. Thank you."
[Necklace of Nisgal]

[Details: Click to open ▶]
As soon as it was in my hand, the information window appeared. You could use special items this way. When I put the necklace on, Reni quickly put hers on too, smiling happily as she fiddled with it.
Right. I couldn't just accept it with words. I had to give her money.
When I handed over the money we'd settled from yesterday's magic stones, Reni's eyes went wide and she tried to refuse again.
"I-I can't take this much..."
We had already discussed how to divide the earnings. Too tired to explain it again, I seized Reni's hand, placed the money in her palm, and crossed my arms. I had no interest in arguing back and forth over something I'd already said.
Reni tried to pass the money to Kate, and Kate bickered back that it wasn't right...
...
"Well, Reni. Don't forget to keep in touch."
"Yes... sniff..."
The two of them hugged each other and put on another melodrama.
Why were they like this, seriously...

Inside the carriage headed to Riverbridge.
This route meant we'd spend the first night in Riverbridge, then set off for Emils the next morning. From Riverbridge to Emils was another day's distance. Then we'd meet up with Yuri in Emils and travel about one more day to Nilbog Village.
In truth, the gaps between villages didn't fit neatly into "one day." Travel time was between seven and ten hours, but they just rounded it to a day because you couldn't travel at night.
Well, if you set your mind to it, camping out and covering as much distance as possible at night wasn't impossible. There were no bandits, and monsters didn't come out of dungeons. If you built a good fire and set a night watch, wild animals wouldn't come near, either.
Our schedule wasn't urgent, and if we spent the night standing watch, we couldn't have sex. That wouldn't do. We stayed in villages even when it cost more time and money. What kind of play was I going to try tonight?
"Reni? Are you going to jump me again tonight... Reni?"
Reni had been sniffling for a while. She'd been like this ever since we parted from Kate.
"It's not like you'll never see her again. Why are you like this?"
"I know..."
I'd noticed it before, but Reni had a bit of an overemotional streak. Her way of earnestly acknowledging everyone who said you could die in a dungeon, the way she'd cried at the training center...
No, maybe it was a church-people trait? Seeing how the kids at the training center and even Kate were like that, it seemed possible...
"Sob... sniff... Y-Yoo-jin, what did you do yesterday?"
Reni asked about my day, as if she wanted to change the mood.
"Nothing much, really..."
Nothing particularly entertaining. I talked about shopping for equipment here and there, and when I said I'd gone to Wilson's place to buy some beer, Reni jolted in surprise.
"Wh-where did you say you went?"
"Why? You know the place? The bald guy with the beard..."
"You've been staying there all this time?!"
"Yeah."
Reni clung to me, looking uneasy.
"And nothing happened to you?!"
"No? He was a nice guy."
Granted, when I'd gone to buy the beer, he'd tried to spank my ass again, so I'd had to dodge with 「Basic Evasion」. But I still got a free drink out of it this time, too. He was a good guy.
"I see..."
Reni let it drop, but she didn't seem convinced. Anyway, to lift the mood, we carried on a long, meandering conversation. How big was the tent, how to stand night watch while camping out, that I'd bought a scabbard for the Holy Sword, and the price was...
Right. The Holy Sword. I took the sword out of my inventory and handed it to Reni.
"Reni, could you fill this with some Divine Power?"
"Ah, yes. I'll try."
[Holy Sword 「Esplender」]
[Divine Power: 250 / 300]
Now this was working out.
Since I'd confirmed the Holy Sword couldn't receive a buff, there was no need to go sprinkling Divine Semen and meeting with that one. That virtual space was pretty unsettling. It tired me out in subtle ways I couldn't quite put my finger on.
But why hadn't that one received a buff? Because it was a sword?
Hm...
When I thought about it, the buff's conditions were quite tricky.
First off, it wouldn't apply if either party was asleep.
And one more thing. As I'd felt when I played with Reni's foot last time, the buff's grade wasn't determined simply by the body part being touched.
At first, when I'd given her a slightly painful massage, it was D-rank. But when we engaged in play that was clearly suggestive of sex, it had been C-rank.
[Skill: Holy Buff]
[Type: Passive]
[Effect: A target who engages in sexual acts with the skill user receives a temporary increase to their stats.]
The buff description said "sexual activity," but that wasn't the whole story. In the end, it meant the buff only took effect when both the skill user and the target were clearly aware that what they were doing was sexual.
If that was the case... the reason the Holy Sword hadn't received a buff was...
I felt like I almost had it, but something, something was missing.
...That was it!
Come to think of it, that Holy Sword's sex education was a disaster. It had been spouting nonsense like getting pregnant through the belly button. On top of that, when I'd caressed it, it didn't even seem to know what it was feeling.
In that case, the reason the Holy Sword hadn't received a buff...
Could it be because it didn't recognize that it was doing something lewd? If that was the problem, it would be resolved as soon as I gave it proper sex education. I should test it.
...But how was I supposed to give sex education to that one?
"Yoo-jin? It's all done."
"Ah. Yeah."
Just as an idea seemed about to form, Reni held the sword out to me. My train of thought broke off completely. For now, I put the Holy Sword back into my inventory...
"Yoo-jin...?"
"Huh?"
"Ah..."
Reni looked up at me with yearning expectation. A faint blush showed through her clear skin, her voice was slightly excited, and her thighs twisted together.
"Um, so, are we not... practicing today?"
...How had Reni ended up like this? Then again, I'd played with her every single time we rode in a carriage, so maybe it was only natural.
Yeah. I had to take responsibility.
I had to take responsibility! By doing lewd things! I had to resolve Reni's pent-up desires!
With a grin, I pulled her toward me.
"Come this way and turn around."
Reni instantly turned her back at those words. She unfastened buttons and skillfully created an off-the-shoulder look. Going further than that was a little risky. Too bad, but it couldn't be helped.
"Fuu..."
She sighed, tense but expectant.
I caressed her shoulders, then traced her spine with my fingertips, passing her shoulder blades and tickling her armpits.
"Nnh... ahh... d-don't..."
I wasn't sure what she was telling me not to do... Should I raise her armpit sensitivity a little while I was at it?
"Haa... haa..."
But the teasing could come later. First, I had to deal with my own urges.
I slipped my hands inside Reni's bra and started fondling her breasts and nipples right away. I'd been frustrated that I could only play with her over her clothes at dawn.
"Ahh... ah... nnh..."
It really was a healing feeling. Soft mounds of flesh covered in fine down, with firm little nubs in the centers. They grew a little harder and larger as I toyed with them. The feel of it was nice.
"Fuu... ahh... hnn..."
I'd regretted touching her only through her clothes at dawn, but the close-contact play had still been excellent. Perhaps I should try soap play in Riverbridge; that inn had a good bathroom.
"Ahh... fuu..."
Spreading out a mat and teasing her until she went limp sounded fun too. This time, I'd keep edging her and refuse to let her finish.
"Nnh... ah... ahn..."
So I'd keep refusing until she clung to me, sobbing, and even then I still wouldn't let her finish. Then I'd wait until she fainted and have my way with her afterwards. Letting her lewdness be imprinted onto her subconscious...
"Haa... ahh..."
Come to think of it, last time, I'd been about to do some bathroom play and stopped. Reni's breasts floating in the tub... that had been great, too. Laying her in the bathtub like that time and fiddling with her endlessly also sounded good.
"Ahn... nn... Y-Yoo-jin?... Ahh?!"
"...!"
That was it! The bathtub!
"N-no! Yoo-jin! Ahk?! T-too hard! Hahk!"
I had no choice but to squeeze Reni's nipples. A bolt of insight had flashed through my mind.
As I refused to let go of her nipples, Reni's waist quivered and lifted off the seat.
"Stay still. This is an important moment."
"Ahk... nnh... haaah..."
She squirmed this way and that, trying to pull her nipples free of my grip, but I never let go. I felt like I'd forget my insight the moment I let this sensation slip.
"Aah... nooo... Y-Yoo-jin... please... aht..."
The bathtub Reni had lain in... bathing... showering...
"Hnn... ah... Yoo-jin... hic! J-just a little... ahn..."
Falling drops of water... rain... clouds...
"Hnng?! Ah... i-it feels strange?! N-no... wait..."
Rainclouds... lightning...
Electric current!
Alright.
I immediately opened a Skill Proposal... The intent would be... a therapeutic fine electric current with excellent effects on fatigue recovery, beauty, joints, cell regeneration, and muscle pain...
Submit!

-Ding!
[Skill: Electric Finger]

[Effect: Emits a fine electrical current from the fingertips.]
I had now become a human massage machine.
"Fuu... Y-Yoo-jin... that’s enough..."
This priest was at it again. She always lit the fire first and then tried to run away.
"No. We've still got a lot of time, right? And I have to test out a new ability."
"A new... one?"
I sent the current through the fingertips that were pinching Reni's nipples.
"Ah! Th-this feels weird... hic... my body's moving on its own?!... ahk!"
-Zzzt-zzzt
"I-it feels strange! Ahh?! Stop! Stop it! Hiyah?! Hiyaaaaaaahng!"
