The Priestess's Depression and Service (1)
The Priestess's Depression and Service (1)
#
-Beep-beep. Beep-beep.
The alarm rang. It was time to change shifts. Why had Yuri not woken me? Wait. Come to think of it, I could not feel the familiar weight.
Reni?
Reni was lying with her back turned. Why was she like that? She always clung to me when we slept.
"...Reni?"
"..."
Only even breathing came back. Strange, but it was still time to go out.
...
"I'm back."
Yuri glanced at me once, then turned her head back toward the dungeon.
"You're up early? You could've slept a little more."
"You're one to talk. It was time. You said you could read the stars, remember?"
"Just because."
Yuri gazed at the dungeon with pensive eyes.
"Now get some rest. You must be tired."
"No... I'll stay like this a while."
"Alright."
...
With those last words, silence settled in.
There was still a little distance between us. A lot had happened, but if I thought about it, we'd only known each other for a few days. And it was night.
And so the mood became that slightly subdued, pre-dawn sort of atmosphere.
"Ah, hey..."
"Hm?"
Yuri fidgeted a little and spoke with a cautious air.
"S-so, hey... once this job is over... you're heading to West Keep, right?"
"That's right."
"...I see."
"..."
When I said we were heading to West Keep, I had not included Yuri.
I thought I understood. We'd never formally discussed what Yuri would do next. I had no objection to accepting her as an official party member, but...
"Yuri..."
"A-ah, h-hey!"
"...Yeah."
"S-so, you said you served in the military? Tell me about it."
...Right. She wanted to change the mood. Honestly, I wasn't too fond of this kind of atmosphere either.
"Why? Are you actually interested in being a ranger? I don't know about here, but the hardship's probably the same."
"...No."
"Then why?"
"Just... stories about other people suffering are fun, aren’t they?"
Yuri giggled and put on her shameless face again. Or was she only pretending to be shameless? In daylight, I'd have said something, but in this atmosphere, I decided to let it pass.
"Well... nothing special, really..."
And so I didn't tell her the real suffering stories. It'd be a pain if she got the wrong idea like Reni did and thought I was some kind of slave.
"So... once you turn twenty, pretty much everyone gets dragged in by force..."
"That's rough..."
Yuri listened with genuine interest, reacting with little exclamations at all the right moments. She was a surprisingly good listener.
...
"...The drill instructor during training was enough to make my teeth chatter..."
"Huh... what did that drill instructor wear again?"
"I said he wore a weird-looking red hat. Why?"
"No reason. Just curious."
...This girl. She was genuinely laughing while listening to someone else's suffering. And it wasn't just an ordinary laugh. She was giving me an extremely ominous grin.
"...Go on inside now. I'll tell you the rest later."
"Fine. You'll tell me. Later."
With that, Yuri went into the tent.
...
The dungeon no longer emitted any smoke. Looked like there was nothing left to burn. Now, once day broke, we'd investigate, recover everything that needed recovering...
"Y-Yoo-jin..."
Hm?
#
"Y-Yoo-jin..."
Not long after Yuri went inside, Reni came out. Why was she already up?
"Why didn’t you sleep a little longer...?"
"..."
"Reni?"
"...D-don’t you... need more?"
"...Huh?"
Reni fidgeted, sneaking glances at me. What on earth... D-don't tell me?!
"E-earlier... you only did it a little... and y-yesterday too..."
Th-this blonde priest, getting aroused even in a situation like this...
"Uh..."
...No, that didn't seem to be it.
Reni seemed to misread the silence caused by my thoughts and started babbling.
"Ah... um... Y-Yoo-jin, you usually do it so many times... but e-earlier, you only... did it three times..."
The words seemed prepared beforehand, but she couldn't finish them. The content was obscene, but her tone sounded like she was about to cry.
"..."
Reni looked painfully anxious, like an abandoned puppy. The sight alone made my heart ache.
"A-and also... I-I've only ever... received from you... s-so this time, I thought I'd..."
"..."
When I kept not saying anything, Reni's eyes grew a little moist.
"A-am I... no longer needed...?"
...So that was it.
When I thought about it, Reni had been acting a bit strange ever since Emils.
She'd started acting seductive, then actually pounced on me at night. This was the same priest who'd made such a fuss at the Church about being unable to undress, yet she'd attacked me in someone else's house. Earlier, her delusions had flared up again for the first time in a while, and she'd nearly cried.
If so... hm... what should I do for her...?
"...I do want to, but... isn't it dangerous?"
"I-it's fine as long as we're quiet."
She hurried to answer as though she had already planned everything. Independent of my sympathy, my cock was already hard at her offer to do it. I felt a little pathetic, but it was probably for the best.
But right now, Yuri was...
"Yuri is definitely asleep right now..."
Reni answered before I could even speak.
But she'd only gone inside a short while ago—asleep already? Still, Reni had an expression that showed a certain conviction. If she was that insistent...
"Well then... mm... what are you going to do for me?"
"U-um... like at the Church..."
The Church?
"W-with my mouth... I'll do it with my mouth... since we couldn't finish back then..."
"...!"
Th-this was unreal. She was going to use her mouth... that Reni... the lewd priestess who only thought about herself... was going to do it with her mouth?
"If we do it like usual, it'll be dangerous, so..."
"R-right..."
We moved to a nearby tree. I stood leaning against the tree, and Reni knelt between my legs.
Reni's anxious face as she fidgeted a bit and looked up at me. I felt so sorry for her that I stroked her head, and she closed her eyes as if it felt nice, then when I touched her ear, she startled and opened her eyes wide.
"I-I'll do it for you."
"Okay."
Reni's face reddened as she unfastened my pants buckle. Soon my other self sprang upward as if bouncing free. Reni turned her face away as if looking at it embarrassed her, sneaking peeks with sidelong glances. We'd done it so many times, and yet she was still this shy.
"Hoooh..."
Reni grasped my cock with trembling hands. She wasn't just holding still like before, waiting to be pleasured herself, nor was she trying to tease me. She used her whole hand to stroke up and down my shaft.
She paused for a moment, then looked up at me with slightly uneasy eyes.
"Y-you haven't done this with Yuri, right? Right?"
"Y-yeah... you're the first to do this for me."
"I'm the first..."
Her expression brightened a little, then turned wistful again. Then suddenly, she lowered her head.
"Y-Yoo-jin..."
"Hm?"
"Wh-what number am I...?"
"Number for what?"
"For how many... was I the...?"
What on earth... no, what was this priestess going on about?
"You're the first, though?"
"Huh? B-but, Y-Yoo-jin, you're way too..."
Reni's face flushed even deeper.
Way too good at it? Come to think of it, Yuri had said something similar too. Asked if I wasn't some kind of playboy.
Well, that was probably thanks to the Sex Warrior's traits and skills. It definitely felt good—so good they'd pass out. And, how should I put it... it was like all the vast knowledge I'd ever absorbed had become fully internalized.
But that was that, and before coming here I was seriously a kissless virgin. Now, I supposed I could count myself lucky.
"I'm serious. You're my first."
Reni's face brightened a little more. Good. With this...
"Reni. You're the first for everything."
"Wh-what...?"
"My first amplification was you, too..."
"B-but Priestess Kate..."
That was right! My first amplification was Kate! Kate! You just keep tripping me up!
Hah... Reni could be terrifying when she caught me off guard like this. I calmed myself a moment.
"I told you, there are multiple stages to amplification. You saw that all I did with Kate was hold hands, right? No, it wasn't even holding hands. Kate put her hand on my chest, and only then did the amplification take effect. So in the end, all I held was Kate's wrist at most."
"Th-then..."
"Yeah. Even holding hands—you were my first."
Reni's expression relaxed and the corners of her eyes crinkled slightly. Good.
"You were my first for everything, Reni."
"Uh..."
The corners of Reni's mouth started curling upward. So she was the type to place meaning on things like that. Honestly, I'd probably have been the same.
"Walking hand in hand, linking arms,"
"..."
"Kissing you and holding you."
"..."
"All of it. You were the first for all of it, Reni."
Reni whipped her head away. But it wasn't because she disliked it. Her goofy grin was plainly visible even from the side. Facing away from me like that, she mumbled something.
"Th-then... we were each other's first..."
"Yeah."
"Heheh..."
Reni gave the same silly laugh as before. The tension had completely dissolved. She was so cute and lovable that I stroked her again, and she closed her eyes to enjoy my touch.
Unlike before, she wasn't desperate with lust. She seemed satisfied simply to feel my hand on her.
Suddenly, I felt like teasing her a bit.
"Your hand, your shoulder, your neck."
"Mm..."
"Your armpit, your leg, your foot."
"Mmn..."
"And you pouncing on me at night was a first, too. Honestly, that time seriously startled me..."
Red to the tips of her ears, Reni ducked her head and pressed her crown against my thigh. Thump, thump, thump, thump. That familiar little tantrum. Somehow it felt like it had been forever.
"There, now do it for me."
When I grinned and urged her on, Reni poked out her lips in a tiny pout.
Soon I felt Reni's hand. She showed none of the reluctance she'd had when I made her do this at the Church, nor did she deliberately keep me in suspense as she had when she'd pounced on me at night.
Her hands trembled a little, but as if cherishing me, she used both hands to stroke up and down my shaft, working over every inch.
While still trembling a little, she occasionally caressed my balls, kneading slowly as if massaging them. Then, as if something had occurred to her, she stopped moving.
"Yoo-jin? Y-you said before that doing it like this hurt, right?"
"Huh?"
She didn't need an answer.
Reni swallowed repeatedly, extended her small tongue, and licked down my cock. Starting at the tip, she carefully and thoroughly wet and teased it all the way to the base.
Every so often, only her eyes rolled upward, silently asking whether she was doing well. I smiled and stroked her without saying anything. Reni enjoyed my touch, then diligently ran her tongue up and down again.
Once everything was fully slicked and there was nowhere left to lick, she pulled her mouth away and gazed at my cock. Then, as if steeling her resolve, she opened her mouth and took the head into—
"Ow!"
This clumsy priestess had grazed me with her teeth.
"Eep!... S-sorry..."
In an instant, Reni's face crumpled into tears.
"D-did I hurt you? Should we... stop?"
Her voice was a little uncertain. As if she was truly sorry, the corners of her eyes had even welled up a bit. She'd steeled herself to go this far—there was no stopping here.
"It's okay."
I gave her a small smile to put her at ease, then prompted her to continue.
"Reni. You only use your lips and tongue. Don't bare your teeth."
At that, Reni moved her mouth as if getting a feel for the shape, then carefully took just the tip between her lips.
"Ih thish ohkay?"
Reni held it in her mouth and looked up with only her eyes, checking my reaction. Her breath tickled me as she tried to talk with it still inside... it was driving me crazy. Feeling like I might just come like that, I put on an Ejaculation / Climax Lock and urged her on.
"Yeah. You're doing great. For now, just lick it like that."
"Ih thish ohkay?"
"Yeah, just like that. Only using your lips. Good job. Now use your tongue."
Reni wrapped her lips fully around the head of my cock and traced her tongue slowly in circles down it, then—
"Hk...!"
"Mmph?"
"Ah, no, it just felt too good. Keep going."
She worked her tongue as if trying to dig into my slit. The intense pleasure shot all the way to the top of my head in an instant. Without my skill, I'd have definitely come right there.
"Ngh.."
Without realizing it, I grabbed Reni's head. Reni's eyes darted upward as if startled by my reaction, then, as if pleased, she gave a smiling-eye grin and moved her tongue a little more actively.
"Ngh. Reni..."
"Hmhm... Yoo-jin... hmhm..."
"Yeah. You're doing great. This is my first time, ngh, you're seriously good at this."
At that, Reni momentarily let my cock slip out and caught her breath. Her face was brimming with joy.
"Haa... haa... Y-Yoo-jin's firsts... m-me... all of them..."
"Right. All of it was a first with you, Reni."
She'd kept her mouth open so long that even her pronunciation was unclear. But she beamed a silly grin and took my cock back into her mouth.
Reni kept stimulating my tip like that, then started moving her mouth back and forth. I hadn't even told her to, but she watched my reactions and tried to make me feel good.
"Ngh...!"
"!!! Cough, cough!"
Without thinking, I grabbed Reni's head and pushed her down a little deeper. Reni jolted in surprise at the sudden intrusion and spat my cock out.
"S-sorry."
"Cough... i-it'sh okay... I'll keep going..."
...This was unbelievable.
Reni, who hated even a little bit of pain... was going this far, even when it choked her...
She was so precious to me.
