Chapter Title: Confidence from Your Lewd, Perverted Body
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Seeing your dick-throbbingly lewd, perverted body has given me some real confidence."
"Th-this is..."
The moment the notification confirming her consent vanished, an engraving began to emerge across May Luina's body.
The first thing visible was a wing-shaped mark starting from her cheek, tracing along the corner of her mouth and slipping inside.
Just lower your gaze a bit from her cheek, and there it was—a choker... no, something closer to a dog collar—wrapped snugly around May Luina's slender neck.
From that dog-collar engraving coiling around her neck, a thick line like a leash extended straight downward, vanishing out of sight beneath her clothes and blanket.
"It's giving off this faint pink glow, so it kinda looks like... y'know, that."
'What do you mean "that"? What "that"?'
"Uh, well, it's something I gotta say anyway, so here goes. You know about yin tattoos? The ones they say are super popular at those awakener-only sleazy joints—the ones all over the news lately."
'H-hey! Stay! I'm a saintess! A pure, untouched one who's never even felt another man's touch! What kind of q-question is that to ask someone like me?!'
"...So you don't know?"
'O-of course, as a leader at the forefront of this era, I know about social issues like that! At least on the surface!'
What the hell is she on about? Like protesting her purity to me now is gonna change anything.
Ignoring May Luina's random line-drawing about her chastity, I pressed on with what I had to say.
"Anyway, that engraving floating up on your body right now? It looks just like a yin tattoo. I've seen a few in real life working as an ER grunt, and the vibe matches perfectly."
'U-ugh... Yin tattoos?! There's no way my body has something like that! Ever since I was recognized as a saintess, my body became immune to vulgar markings like those!'
"You have no mana in your body right now. Doesn't that mean your status ailment nullification isn't kicking in either?"
'Th-that's ridiculous... It can't be...'
What's so ridiculous about it? It's a curse from tackling an EX-Rank Gate—it could pierce even a saintess's blessing of status ailment immunity.
'This is bad. Really bad! I've worked so hard acting the part of the pure saintess, the flawless virgin idol you can suck off without a shred of worry. And now it turns out my whole body's already stamped with yin tattoos... If anyone finds out, they'll call me the lewd, depraved saintess hiding full-body yin tats under my baggy robes...!'
May Luina was too panicked for any logical thinking, blurting out her grievances like it was the end of the world.
But what the hell is a "saintess you can deepthroat worry-free"? This woman was even managing her fanservice that meticulously?
Acting that thoroughly right down to the details? At this point, it was downright impressive.
"W-well, anyway, no one but me can see the engraving on your body, so does it matter?"
'...Huh? Oh, r-right! The Vatican rounded up the world's top healers for a full month and still couldn't find this curse! No one else will ever know about the yin tattoos! Phew... What a relief.'
Calmed by my words, May Luina let out a genuine sigh of relief.
Though it was clearly her inner voice I was hearing, I had no clue how she managed to sigh in her mind. Not that it mattered right now.
"Glad that's settled. Now we need to check how far this engraving goes. Mind if I take a look?"
I asked the now-relaxed May Luina for her permission.
According to the status window's description, I could only infuse yang energy into the engraving itself—so to treat her, I had to map out exactly where it was etched.
It was a sensitive question that might gross her out, but hey, if she wanted treatment, she'd have to suck it up.
'O-okay. It's for treatment, so sure.'
Good, permission granted.
She'd spun a whole A4 page of delusions when I mentioned yang infusion or yin tattoos, but this time she approved clean and quick.
As a healer herself, she got that it was purely medical, so no resistance.
"Alright, then. I'm taking it off."
Smooth slide. Click. Click.
With May Luina's go-ahead, I pulled back the blanket she was covered with and undid the buttons on her baggy patient gown one by one, folding it open.
'W-what?! W-wait, you're undressing me?! W-what?! My clothes?! Eek! Y-you're actually doing it?! St-stop! No one can just ogle a saintess's pure body like that!'
The backlash I'd been wondering about finally hit, shrill and piercing my ears.
I'd already unbuttoned everything, leaving only her pristine white bra, so I pulled my hands from May Luina's now half-naked upper body and grumbled curtly.
"What? You said it was fine."
'I-I thought "check" meant with the status window! N-not that you'd strip me like this out of nowhere!'
She'd been overinterpreting and delusion-spinning at every word until now—why drop the ball when I actually went for it?
Arguing would just waste time, and it was partly my fault for not explaining better, so instead of rebutting, I laid out the unavoidable truth.
"Won't show me the engraving, can't treat you. Wanna live as a vegetable forever?"
'Ugh... N-no.'
"Good. Finishing the rest."
'W-w-wait! I'm a v-virgin, I tell you! Pure as can be! This isn't a body meant for casual stripping...!'
Virgin this, virgin that since earlier. She seemed proud of her hard-earned purity, but honestly, so what?
"Hey. I'm a virgin loser too."
The moment I turned twenty, I became a debt slave, wasting my life paying it off—so yeah, like May Luina, I was still a virgin.
'Huh? W-what?'
"That purity you're so proud of? No need to flaunt it at me. I'm doing this to treat you—why all the complaints?"
'V-virgin loser...'
"No way I'm getting turned on by your body, so yeah, taking it off for real now."
'Huh?'
I didn't hate her or anything, but I had zero attraction to May Luina.
The only reason I was doing this was because it was necessary for me.
Sure, she had a pretty body to match her pretty face, but to me, it was like eyeing a sculpture—high artistic value, zero interest.
Smooth slide. Click. Smooth slide.
For those reasons, with zero lust and pure professionalism, I took advantage of her shock from my virgin-loser declaration to fully strip off her gown top and bra.
"..."
Not a single blemish marred May Luina's jade-white, translucent half-nude form.
As expected, the pink engraving snaking down from her dog-collar neckline split into two branches at her collarbone, tracing over her ample breasts and down to her lower abdomen.
"..."
The thick lines split at the chest spread like ivy vines in all directions, coiling around her breasts and emitting a soft pink glow. Of those countless tendrils, just two snaked downward over her ribs and belly, reconverging at her lower abdomen.
Where they met atop her lower belly formed an unmistakable womb tattoo... the default yin tattoo shape anyone would recognize.
Now I knew where the engraving started and ended—all that was left was to start the yang infusion.
But I couldn't.
'Y-you really stripped me... I showed my naked body for the first time ever to some guy I used as an emotional trash can...'
It wasn't her mumbling laced with shame and despair that broke my focus.
I didn't have the mental bandwidth for that anyway.
There was only one reason I couldn't move despite confirming the engraving's path.
'...Um, Stay? Y-you kinda forced it, but you still saw a pure virgin saintess naked. Shouldn't you react or something? I worked pretty hard on this figure...'
"Whoa."
'Whoa?'
"Fucking hot as hell."
'W-wha-what did you just say?!'
Her naked body—which I'd thought would bore me like some passionless statue—shattered that assumption in an instant. It was insanely hot.
"King-sized milk tanks for real. You were hiding a body this slutty under that baggy saintess robe?"
Those massive, lewd holy power reservoirs; pretty pink nipples matching the engraving's hue; a waist that dipped in tight but with just the right amount of plushness; and smack in the middle, the most perfect straight-line navel.
Even I—who felt zero attraction or interest in May Luina—could feel my heart pounding. Her half-nude form packed devastating firepower.
'Huh? Wait, what? Hold on, Stay. What did you just say? If I didn't mishear... you said my body was hot as fuck...?'
"Oh."
Only as my rationality wavered and instinct eyed the gap did one overlooked fact hit me.
"Hey, May Luina. Thinking about it... this is my first time seeing a woman's naked body this pristine. Virgin loser, so yeah. Why didn't I realize? Getting hard over a body this perverted is totally normal."
'You said it again! You said my pure virgin body turns you on again!'
A lifelong virgin loser facing a woman's naked body this insanely hot? It was devastatingly effective at firing up every nerve.
"I was worried if I could even get aroused before starting treatment. But seeing your dick-throbbingly lewd, perverted body? Yeah, I've got confidence now."
And this? Total boon for sexually arousing May Luina.
"Feel proud. All that effort sculpting a body this hot? It's letting me dive into treatment full throttle."
For the first time since meeting her, I gave May Luina a sincere compliment.
'...I'm not happy about this at all!!!'
