Chapter: 38
Chapter Title: Non-Virgin Purge Mode + Married Woman = ??? (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest, I hadn't taken the Non-Virgin Purge Mode lightly either.
I mean, what happens if you delete all non-virgins?
Everyone loses their moms, flat out.
Birth rate drops to zero percent, obviously.
The entire continent would be barreling toward extinction.
But it wasn't quite that dystopian. Most of the knights around me still had their mothers alive.
So I just shrugged it off as the god mod doing its god thing...
"No way... it actually deleted them?"
You again, Non-Virgin Purge Mode.
Trashing you was the worst mistake of my life.
Get lost, JOAT.
The thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Grip— My hand clenched tight from the tension.
"Did something happen to your mother because of me?"
"Did something happen to your mother?"
Did I turn Blanc's parents into an odd number?
My expression darkened automatically at the thought...
But contrary to my fears, Blanc was perfectly calm.
"She suddenly left on a trip."
"...Pardon?"
"She's not the type to like that sort of thing, but apparently she rushed off the day before I arrived at the estate."
Mom went on a trip.
For a second, I wondered if it was this world's euphemism for "went to America,"
but...
"I tried contacting her with communication magic, but my messages kept failing to get through. Maybe the crystal orb she took is defective."
"Ah."
Nope, nothing like that.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness I didn't delete some poor innocent person. Seriously.
"It's weird, right? A quiet lady like her suddenly going on a tour, and all the crystal orbs she took turning out defective. What are the odds...?"
"......"
"Could it be because of the Non-Virgin Purge?"
A hypothesis popped into my head at the same time.
Maybe the Non-Virgin Purge Mode just removes non-virgins from my sight.
"Since if the player—me—doesn't observe them, it's as good as deleted anyway."
It doesn't delete non-virgins themselves, just purges them from my story as the protagonist.
Like how my S-pole repels the M-pole of non-virgins, twisting causality so we never cross paths.
Non-virgins just step aside on whatever road I take.
That explains a lot.
Why there were plenty of old men on the streets but hardly any middle-aged women or grannies.
And why Blanc's mother suddenly went on a trip.
All of it.
"So marriage might have to wait a bit longer. Once Mother returns from her trip, I'll talk to her again."
"Yes!!"
'Jackpot!!!'
And what did I gain from this?
I successfully delayed my marriage to Blanc and dodged getting my nose pierced for now.
I even bought time to have more sex and get stronger.
'Damn it, you again, Non-Virgin Purge Mode!!'
Sorry for daring to slander you when I couldn't even grasp your intent.
I worship you today too, GOAT.
My hands naturally clasped together.
Thumbs sticking out between index and middle fingers—a pig sign prayer, aka the "bo-men" pose.
"...What are you doing all of a sudden?"
"Sneak worship."
"Pfft, spouting nonsense again."
Thanks to that, the mood lightened right up.
Blanc's glare at Hilde and Silpi melted away for some reason.
And the two who'd been getting the side-eye from their superior shot me grateful looks...
-Glare, glare.
"......"
'Why the glaring?'
Some serious killing intent was wafting off them.
Hm, did I do something wrong?
[Flash Sale!! Intelligence Boost Stage 2 - 1pt (-99.8%)]
[This item boosts Intelligence by 0.2, equivalent to 2 levels!]
[We strongly recommend purchasing!!]
'I'll ask later or whatever.'
I brushed off the ambush sales pitch.
Intelligence was plenty high enough, and buying that would leave me with awkward leftover points—exactly the kind of thing I hated.
Instead, I threw them a wink.
'I did my part anyway. You're welcome.'
"......"
Their expressions somehow soured even more, but
"Right! I have one last gift for Yi Hyun."
"A gift?"
"Here... Hehe, I got something pretty good from the family."
The items Blanc pulled out from the table at that moment.
The mood flipped 180 degrees the instant we saw them.
"Th-this is..."
"The friendly spar is coming up soon. I don't want to see my man lose, so I brought some elixirs."
"How much did this cost, Captain!?"
"Just the aura it's giving off feels like the price of a whole rural castle!!?"
"Whoa! Elixirs!!"
On a certain day when the friendly spar was truly just around the corner.
My final spec boost was a fair-and-square doping with drugs.
'I do want to smack Yi Hyun's butt, but I'll put it off for later.'
"Then I'll return to my duties."
Silpi left the room.
This was no longer a place for her.
'Good job hanging in there.'
"Yeah, just leave it to me."
Hilde sent her off without hesitation.
She'd egged on a drunk Silpi into having sex with him and put them in this mess.
Even Hilde couldn't ignore the guilt.
The only way to make amends was to somehow clean up this disaster.
-Munch munch.
"How's the taste?"
"Mmph, mmf!!"
"You have to swallow even if it doesn't taste good. Here, I prepared candy too..."
"......"
'But seriously, what do I do?'
Hilde's wolf ears drooped flat.
She knew exactly what situation she was in.
'Touching the captain's man... I'm fine, but...'
What he'd done with her was okay.
They'd basically had sex, but wasn't it an accident during the match?
She could proudly say it in front of Blanc, the Imperial Princess, or even the Empress.
Our pussies got stabbed by dicks mid-match, so that's how it happened—
No one would complain about the sex if they didn't nitpick the match itself.
The problem was Silpi.
'If this gets out, neither she nor I get off unscathed.'
Could they escape Blanc's wrath?
Silpi, who'd pounced on him drunk, or Hilde, the mastermind who'd orchestrated it?
The answer was plain from the sight before her.
'This ain't something the captain's salary can cover. That's family-level support.'
The elixirs Yi Hyun was devouring so blissfully.
Worth the price of a castle each.
She'd basically emptied the family vault.
Blanc—no, her entire family—must be dead serious about him to give that kind of backing.
Touching a guy like that...
'I have to shut her mouth tight, no matter what!'
Her long deliberations boiled down to one thing.
Take this to the grave.
Whether that's possible depends on how tightly that idiot keeps his mouth shut.
'And his special constitution... better not mention that.'
One more thing.
She resolved not to tell anyone that Yi Hyun gets stronger from sex.
Blanc would block it by any means necessary if she knew.
She didn't want his growth to stop here.
'Plus, if she asks how he got so strong, my screw-up gets exposed.'
...She had a very personal reason too,
"......"
'Not because of this. Really.'
Not that desperately, but for some reason, it made her look forward.
That one line silenced Hilde.
Only her tail wagged happily.
'Grow big and strong for now, future hero.'
-Munch munch.
"......?"
'Why's he suddenly got that horny look again?'
But Yi Hyun, the man content with 1.5 Intelligence.
His innate 0.8 Intelligence stayed oblivious to the circumstances as it focused on wolfing down elixirs.
He was just happy to get stronger.
※ 'Blessing of the Shattenreich' is active.
'Magic Power in the 7s? Buffs are fast, but this is insane.'
Especially satisfying was the Magic Power.
Thanks to sex with Silpi, the Imperial Princess's blessing, and elixir consumption, it'd surged big time.
In terms of Magic Power alone, he was now top-tier even among knights.
Not quite at Blanc's unrivaled level or Hilde's vice-captain caliber, which was solid even on the decline...
But at this point, he could probably hang with the 2nd Knight Order, maybe even mix it up with the 1st.
The thought came naturally.
'Strength and Agility are still premature ejaculation levels, though.'
But he didn't get cocky.
Right now, he was a glass cannon dumping everything into Magic Power, firing his assault rifle with no techniques.
The moment melee got close, he'd get hilariously wrecked.
Before a status window that screamed "leaps and bounds" wasn't enough.
He resolved to grow even stronger.
'Gotta bang more behind Blanc's back! Need everything but Stamina and Intelligence in the 8s to really compete!!'
[……….]
'That punk, why won't he buy Intelligence? I'm giving it away like crazy, barely taking offerings formally! I've done everything, so buy it already, you monkey!!'
Someone watching erupted in what must've been their umpteenth fit of rage.
Yi Hyun didn't know, and wouldn't care even if he did.
If that someone wore a tank top, Kim Gu glasses, and did a dance, he'd consider it seriously, but anyway.
'Gotta watch Blanc for now, so no banging knight order girls. Win the friendly spar first, then think.'
"You seem way stronger! So, um, I'll definitely win!!"
Yi Hyun grinned brightly.
"Pfft, you don't have to win for sure. I'll stay by your side until you get strong."
Blanc smiled back.
"Uh, yeah."
'To get strong, she actually shouldn't be around?'
Only Hilde looked awkward.
After Blanc's return, time flew by like an arrow.
"A spar with Lady Blanc?"
"Yes, I'll be guiding you from now on."
"I could spar with Lady Hilde too..."
-Zap.
"...You prefer her over me?"
"Eek."
"Kidding. Hilde's, well, petty. She'll definitely drag it into an un-knightly fight, so better skip sparring with her."
"Got it."
Days of one-on-one spars with Blanc.
Thanks to that, I gained a tiny bit of PvP experience,
"The day has finally come, newbie. Or should I say Yi Hyun."
"Whew, I'm nervous..."
"Don't be tense. At this point, unless their vice-captain or higher steps up, you can hold your own."
About two weeks passed, and the day of the friendly spar with the 1st Knight Order arrived.
'Come at me all! I'll bang everyone except the Imperial Princess!'
Time to check the results of my efforts.
"H-Her Imperial Majesty the Empress!!!"
"I've heard a lot from Lilia. You helped my daughter squeeze out her pussy juice?"
"That's, um."
"Lilia? Undress."
"...Yes, Mother."
-Rustle.
"I trust you won't disappoint me."
"Why scare the boy? Please take good care of her this time too~."
"......"
'Tormenting her daughter's pussy in front of her own mom is kinda dizzying.'
I said come at me except the Princess, so why are the Princess and Empress tag-teaming?
