Priestess’s Fun Time (3)
Priest’s Fun Time (3)

Inside the carriage heading to Emils.
"Reni. Have you ever heard of something called an Ego Sword?"
"What?"
She tilted her head from side to side. She already seemed to have put last night out of her mind, which was a relief to me.
"Ah! I think I've heard of it before. A sword that has its own will..."
"It seems like this Holy Sword might be one of those. I managed to communicate with it."
"Wow...! Could I try talking to it as well?"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"No. Right now, it can only talk to me."
It was always fun to dash such small expectations. Her expressions were so varied that watching them was a delight.
"Ah..."
"We can’t even have a normal conversation. We can only talk in dreams, and only when it wants to."
"I see... Then the Holy Sword... person? Should I just call it ‘Holy Sword’?"
For the moment, Reni was referring to it as though it were a person.
Calling it ‘Holy Sword,’ huh... I wasn't sure what to consider it either. It acted like a person, but perhaps because this only happened in dreams, its presence was extremely difficult to define. Would it feel different if I saw it in reality?
"What are they like?"
The impression the Holy Sword gave was... a crimson-haired beauty with a shapely figure and a rather small chest. She wore elegant yet highly revealing clothes, but that wasn't important. For some reason, I also felt awkward describing her that way. More than anything, her defining trait was...
"...It has a bad personality."
"What?! But it's a Holy Sword?"
"Well, it’s a strange one. It uses vulgar language, enjoys tormenting people, and tries to seize the upper hand the moment you let your guard down."
I badmouthed the Holy Sword with whatever came to mind. Venting like this made me feel a little better about it. Some of what I said probably wasn't true, but what was it going to do about it?
"Why would it..."
Why would it? Wasn't it obvious?
"From what I can see, it's probably because it takes after the Goddess. The Holy Sword itself said that the Goddess gave it life. So the Goddess is practically its parent. Children take after their parents, so the Holy Sword having a bad personality is the Goddess's fault..."
"Yoo-jin!"
She cut me off! Nice!
Reni's eyes blazed with fury as she let her words pour out.
"Yoo-jin! That’s blasphemous! You’re an Apostle of the Goddess! How could you say that...! The Goddess isn’t like that!"
"..."
-Crackle, crackle.
"Yoo-jin. Are you, um, doing that thing again?"
Reni flinched as she saw the sparks leaping from my fingertips.
"No. I'm not."
I shook out my hand to drive away the pain and continued.
"Anyway, I have something to discuss with this one. I asked it to contact me in the morning. So I'm going to sleep a little while we travel."
"Ah, yes."
I closed my eyes. For a while, I clung to consciousness in the hope that Reni might pounce on me again, but she only draped my arm over her shoulders and sat still. It was a little disappointing, but this was nice too.
As I smelled the herbal fragrance coming from Reni's body like that, my mind gradually...
#
"What. What do you want."
As expected, the Holy Sword appeared with a sullen face. On my way out that morning, I had let a single drop of the Holy Bomb’s contents fall. It must have understood what I meant.
"Hey. It's inconvenient to do this every time. You hate it too—me spraying that stuff on you all the time."
"..."
"So tell me how you can appear in my dreams. I don't like doing that every time I have something to say to you. It's not just you who feels bad about it."
"Haa..."
The Holy Sword sighed and did something, and a Status Window floated up before my eyes.
[Holy Sword 「Esplender」]
[Mode: Two-Handed Sword]
[Traits: ▼]
[Message: Allows brief communication with the Holy Sword.]
[Dream Sharing: Shares a dream world with the Holy Sword during sleep.]
There really was a hidden skill after all. This thing had been hiding it from me.
"Hey. But Message? Can't you use this to talk to me? Why didn't you use it?"
At my question, the Holy Sword cautiously gauged my reaction.
"...W-well... last time we shared a dream..."
"What about back then?"
"You only left me a little Divine Power last time... I-if I use it however I want, you’ll do that again..."
I had no idea what nonsense this one was spouting all of a sudden.
"Hey. Back then, it happened because you picked a fight first. I won't do that sort of thing anymore, so send a Message if you have something to say."
"Really?"
The Holy Sword’s attitude was completely different from when we had first met. What had changed its mind? It was far more docile than when I’d sprayed it with Divine Fluid to condition it.
"Yeah. And why has your attitude changed so much? Did you reflect on what you did?"
"No... it's just... you charged my Divine Power normally..."
The Holy Sword hemmed and hawed. Would it act normal if I treated it normally? Or did it depend on who supplied the Divine Power? Even so, I was still a little annoyed.
"Is that so? You’re not sorry for stabbing someone and aiming between their legs right from the start?"
"..."
The Holy Sword hung its head and stared at the floor, gazing at its toes as though it were studying ants.
"Hoo... well, that's fine. As long as you behave from now on."
"...Sorry..."
At my words, it glanced up at me, lowered its head again, and mumbled something. Maybe it was actually a decent sort when treated normally.
In any case, since it didn't seem like it would do it again, there was no need to talk about the past anymore. I had come to this strange place because I had something I was curious about regarding the Holy Sword.
"But, you. You said something strange last time. You wanted to meet a hero and become human?"
"..."
The Holy Sword just stared at the floor without answering. Why was the mood so down? Maybe I should tease it a little.
"You’ve already met a hero, so that part’s taken care of."
"Tch..."
"Do you really want to become human?"
"...Yeah..."
"Why?"
"...Just..."
"..."
It trailed off, but it wasn’t finished. I waited for the Holy Sword’s answer.
"...Just... if I become human... I can move as I please... I don't like the dark anymore..."
"...Is that so."
So that was it.
So that was it. That was why it talked about wanting something warm last time.
I gathered my thoughts for a moment and began to explain to the Holy Sword.
"It's not that there's no method..."
Awakened people could buy high-level magic such as 「Polymorph」 from the Point Shop. But I would need to earn a lot of points and level up considerably. That meant I would eventually have to enter the Great Labyrinth instead of limiting myself to outer dungeons.
Naturally, I had to thoroughly prepare not only my abilities but also my equipment.
"...Which is why I have to cast a buff on you. And even if I use that magic, you won't be able to become human forever. Polymorph has a time limit."
Or I might be able to do something by using a skill proposal... but nothing came to mind right now.
"Th-that's still fine."
The Holy Sword looked as though even that much was more than it could ask for.
"But, um, that buff thing... it didn't work in the end last time."
Right. This was the problem. Even if the Holy Sword agreed to receive the buff, it meant nothing if the buff would not apply. I asked it about something I had been wondering.
"Hey, you. Who told you that thing about having a baby through your belly button?"
"I just knew it from the start. Maybe the Goddess told me?"
'Hey! You idiot Goddess!'
Luckily, it seemed I could swear freely in a dream. I could curse the Goddess to my heart’s content later. For now, the Holy Sword needed a proper sex education.
"So, about that. You can see what's going on outside, right?"
"Yeah. Like this."
The Holy Sword brought up a screen showing me from the front as I stroked my junk in the basement...
"Ah. Stop! I get it! Stop it!"
"You get how bad it feels now, right?"
"...Alright. I'm sorry."
I wiped the horrible memory from my head for a moment and continued.
"Anyway, for the buff to apply, there's something you need to know. First of all, babies aren't born through belly buttons."
"...What?"
The Holy Sword looked as though a fundamental truth of the world had been denied. I had no idea what would happen once this kid learned what sex was.
"...I'll explain it to you later. Can I use Message too? I'll call you then."
I could give it a sex education through Message while showing it a little of what Reni and I did. It hadn’t even happened yet, but the idea already filled me with a little self-loathing.
"Got it? Then send me back now."
"Ah, um."
"What?"
The Holy Sword hesitated before barely opening its mouth.
"Divine Power... can I use it as I please? Can I use Message normally?"
It sounded as though it were asking me for an allowance.
"Use it as you wish. Charging it isn't hard. Then, now..."
"Ah, um. And also..."
This one. It had a lot to say. How had it held it in all this time?
"D-don’t put me in that strange place... Every time I open my eyes, I’m somewhere unfamiliar... I hate it..."
It meant I shouldn't put it in my inventory and should carry it around instead. That much wasn't hard.
"Alright. Got it."
It was time to go back to Reni. Wait... now that I thought about it...
"Can you talk to other people?"
"I don't know either. Why is it only you that it works on?"
Hmm. I was curious about that too.
Anyway, with it acting this obedient, it almost looked cute. Seeing it stand there blankly made me want to tease it for no reason.
"Maybe it's because I released your seal? It means I'm your master."
"M-Master?!"
At that, the Holy Sword trembled, transformed back into its sword form, and flew away.
"Hey! You have to send me back!"
Damn it.

"Hhk!"
I jerked awake without meaning to. Something felt strange. The sensation of waking was bizarre, as though I’d just come out of general anesthesia... I hadn’t said anything strange in my sleep, had I?
"Mmm..."
Looking beside me, Reni was dozing off, nodding her head while hugging my arm.
It seemed I’d pushed her too hard. Cure and Recovery couldn’t replace actual rest; they were no different from propping yourself up with caffeine. In the end, actual sleep was still necessary.
"Mmm... mm..."
"..."
I had tormented her too much the night before, so I needed to let her sleep comfortably. Right. Loosening her body a little seemed like a good idea, as long as I kept it gentle enough not to wake her.
"Haa... mm..."
First, I hugged her from behind and rested her head against me so she could sleep comfortably.
"Mmm... ah..."
Then I needed to support her breasts. Reni’s were large and heavy, so her shoulders were bound to be stiff.
"Ahht... mmm... hnn..."
Then I set the electric massage to its lowest output and started beneath her breasts...
"Hngh... hhaa..."
The way they twitched even when I kept still made them delightful both to watch and to touch.
"Mm... ah..."
Squirm squirm.
"N-no... don’t..."
Wriggle wriggle. Squirm squirm.
"No... ngh... Yoo-jin... don’t... nooo!"
Wriggle wriggle. Squirm squirm. Twitch twitch.
"Haht?!"
Reni shot upright and, seeing my hand holding her breast...
"Yoo-jiiin!!!!!"
