Chapter Title: How to Catch Two Rabbits at Once (1)

[Opponent's level vastly exceeds the player's.]
[Skill proficiency gain greatly increased...]
[Skill - 'Resonance' has reached Lv.9...]
"Hoo."
'To think it rose this much just from ten minutes of pussy eating?'
The status window filled my vision with dazzling flair.
This was the first time so many notifications had popped up without even having sex.
My expression as I looked at it, though...
Wasn't exactly bright.
'Just how strong is she?'
The skill level gains were similar to when I, at level 1, had done it with Blanc at 193.
Taking that into account...
High Demon, Saleos.
Her level was probably close to 200 above mine.
My guess? Late 200s, maybe?
To have someone like that gunning for me—it was bleak, to say the least.
'I figured her pussy would be a weak point, but she held out to the end...'
One more reason for the gloom.
In the end, Saleos hadn't lifted the curse.
She must have had a mind as unyielding as stone, like Liliana, or at least strong enough to endure it.
A sigh escaped me naturally.
'Even accounting for all the stat boosts I've stacked, my actual specs are barely early 150s... What the hell am I supposed to do?'
I'd gotten seriously strong in my own right.
I was well beyond a regular knight of the Imperial 2nd Knight Order now, and purely in stats, on par with Hilde.
A vice captain-level powerhouse, basically.
[Skill - Blessing of Shattenreich (Unique, Replica)]
A special power flowing in the bloodline of the ruler.
The legions below shall receive the ruler's grace,
and become both spear and shield to protect the ruler.
(Skill replicated from entity 'Liliana'. Replica penalty reduces effects by 20%.)
'And on top of that, I've got mods and skills.'
The blessing I'd stolen from the Imperial Princess during sex, or the unique skill 'similar to cheap' I'd copied from Blanc.
Factoring in everything I could leverage, my actual strength?
Generously, level 160 to 170.
I wasn't completely helpless against Blanc, but...
'Even so, the level gap with her is too damn wide.'
"...A head-on fight is out of the question, huh."
The monologue that came after ages of thought.
As if hearing it, Clara wriggled in my arms.
Looking up at me with her mouth still gagged, she was adorably rabbit-like.
"Mm, sorry. I've kept your mouth covered this whole time."
"N-no, I'm sorryyy... It's just, with heat and the curse, my reason flew out the window for a bit..."
"It's fine. I know it's unavoidable for beastkin."
'Compared to Hilde, she's downright proper~.'
Suddenly, Hilde seemed all the more impressive, but anyway.
I met Clara's eyes.
Time to act.
"Anyway, sorry. I had no choice to stop your heat, but for you to go through that with a guy you just met..."
"N-nooo!! You helped me, sooo, I-I'm grateful instead!!"
"Hmm, if you say so."
For now, the sexual assault charge passes to some good Samaritan law or whatever.
"Then you'll have to take my seed, right?"
"...Huh?"
"Saleos is blackmailing you. The curse isn't lifted yet. You need to stay by my side until it's resolved."
I proposed keeping her close.
Of course, it wasn't purely out of kindness.
'Her skills are seriously tempting.'
'Wild Instinct Frenzy'.
The blessing that explosively boosted her stats.
Doesn't it pair perfectly with me in all sorts of ways?
A few days of edging, and I'd get stronger.
So, 'no choice but to fuck', right?
I'd be a righteous munchkin skill thief.
'And... time to wreck Saleos's pussy too.'
One more thing.
Saleos still hadn't lifted Clara's curse.
The mana link through the curse remained intact.
My mythic skill 'Resonance' could still train her remotely.
'So, just pound her until she can't take it anymore?'
No sage like me would pass that up.
My plan: break Saleos's hostility through Clara.
Luna had already proven no woman withstands a thousand thrusts.
A smile crept across my lips.
"I'll protect you, Clara."
"Haaah, huuuuh...♡"
Her cheeks flushed hot.
Snuggled against me, she began breathing raggedly.
And then, she...
-Swish.
"Th-thank youuu...♡"
"...?"
What? Why are you suddenly stripping?
"Why the clothes?"
"Th-this gratitude♡ can't even be expressed like thisss...♡"
"Aha."
'Right, her common sense alteration is this type.'
Now I remembered her common sense alteration.
'When expressing thanks, make skin contact proportional to the gratitude.'
I'd thought it was like a handshake back then.
Turns out it required bare skin.
I decided to graciously accept.
"In that case..."
"Hic, hiiic♡ Hiiiic♡"
"Whoa, Clara!!?"
But it was short-lived.
Clara started moaning mid-strip.
Painfully, even.
I panicked first.
-Bang!
"Yi Hyun!! What happene—huh?"
Blanc burst in.
She must've been waiting; she opened the door in under a second.
What she saw?
Clara frozen naked.
Me standing before her.
Our feet soaked in her pussy juices.
'We're screwed!'
"Th-that's."
My heart dropped,
But
"Wh-what's that brand?"
"Th-that's, ummm...♡"
"Heavens, who would do such a cruel thing!! How could they mark her there!!"
Blanc wasn't angry at us—she was worried for Clara.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew."
'Naked is okay, then.'

Naked to express thanks was 'common sense', so it passed.
The floor soaked in pussy juice...
"F-forcing me into heat...♡ A demon, did that to meee...♡"
"Those wicked things see humans as toys!?"
She chalked it up to the curse.
Common sense alteration for the win.
I nearly burst out laughing.
"Anyway, what happened? Did the curse trigger again?"
"N-no, it's just...♡ My fingers brushed it while undressing, and I'm still sensitiveee♡"
"Hmm."
'Can't handle it by hand, huh?'
Either way, I couldn't leave her like this.
I rushed over and hugged Clara.
"You okay!?"
"Yeees... Thank you for worryinggg♡"
She whispered back as if waiting.
Naturally guiding my hand to her pussy.
-Squeeze, squelch squelch.
"Hyaaaan♡"
"...Yi Hyun? What are you doing?"
"Th-this is my thanks♡ for accepting me as your mateee♡"
"Seriously, what did you do in that short time to make her go this far..."
Blanc didn't stop us.
She even saw fingering her pussy as expressing 'thanks'.
"Uh, um."
'Is this right?'
A bit dizzying, but...
Hey, it works for me.
'Screw it, let's wreck Saleos's pussy.'
"Clara. Since it's like this, how about you and I talk alone? In my room."
Blanc surprisingly let us go without fuss.
"The curse aside, any chance she'll harm you...?"
"None. The curse only induces heat, nothing else."
"Good. Then Yi Hyun, keep her pinned until I return. She's even offering to thank you with her body, so do it properly."
"What about you, Blanc?"
"I'll go check with Hilde if there's a way to suppress beastkin heat."
"Got it."
Feels off, but in a common sense-altered world, overthinking just hurts the head.
Time for enjoyer's mode.
That's why I stripped the moment we entered my quarters.
"Kyaa, kyaaa!!? Wh-why the clothes..."
"My thanks were overflowing, so I stripped too. Problem?"
"...N-nooo♡"
"Good. Then come here."
I hugged her tight and laid her on the bed.
My cock pressed firmly against her lower abdomen—
Right from the womb tattoo up to her navel.
Clara freaked.
"Hiiik♡"
"What?"
"Th-that... Your face is so close, and it's touching there...♡"
"Wanna touch it?"
"Hiii...♡"
The freakout didn't last.
Her eyes glazed over quick, and she slyly reached out.
She gripped my cock with both hands.
"L-like this...?"
"What do you think?"
"It's so hard and hot... You feel so male...♡"
"Not hating it?"

"It's just thanks, so how could I hate ittt♡"
We were pressed tight.
Breaths mingling, lips nearly brushing.
Instinctively, she began stroking my cock.
Both hands, reverently.
[Target has acquired Abnormal Status - 'Heat Lv.6'...]
'In heat again?'
A bit lower level than before.
Still definite heat, though.
Clara's eyes began to unfocus.
No curse trigger, so she held back barely...
But that longing behind her clouded gaze?
Not something I'd miss.
I proposed right away.
"Clara, how about a more fervent 'expression of thanks'?"
"M-more...?"
"Put what you're holding right now inside you."
"...!! N-nooo!!"
Clara startled and refused at first,
"Why not?"
"It's my constitution... If I do it with a guy, the demon made me..."
"Don't worry. I've got blessings that prevent essence drain anyway."
"R-reallyyy?"
"Secret, but I'm immune to memory wipes too."
My bold guarantee.
"And above all, this isn't 'that'. It's just thanks."
Common sense alteration clincher.
I persuaded her, mixing the two.
Hey, I'm putting it in—
Could she resist this temptation?
Especially in heat?
"Th-then...♡ Just a liiittle♡"
As if.
Resisting that would make her a living Buddha or high-rank pussy.
"Haaaut♡"
"Good girl."
The hand gripping my cock...
Led it to her pussy.
