Chapter Title: Two Heads Are Better Than One (1)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Curse of Petrification, 95% release complete.

This was the optimal threshold Yi Hyun had instinctively set.

'Right now, her body's like a shaken-up cola bottle if we're talking restaurant analogies.'

Release the Curse of Petrification completely right now?

All that pent-up pleasure would explode at once.

He didn't even want to imagine what would happen to a saintess hit with the equivalent of a hundred orgasms in one go.

That was why 95%.

Like cracking open a carbonated drink just a tiny bit, letting out the gas in tiny amounts.

Gradually transmitting the accumulated pleasure into the saintess's body.

Easier said than done—it was a high-risk gamble where even 1% off could cause a massive explosion.

'I was worried, but it actually worked.'

But Yi Hyun had pulled it off.

True control befitting the owner of transcendent stamina that was stepping into superhuman territory.

A satisfied smile briefly crossed his face.

...Until Saintess Lumine opened her eyes.

"Th-this, this is...?!"

"......!!!?"

"Lumine!? Your eyes!!"

Yi Hyun and Minerva reacted in unison with horror.

The brief light that had returned to Lumine's pupils.

They both knew exactly what that meant—her vision had come back, if only for a moment.

'Even if she gave permission for naughty stuff, if ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠she finds out we were tonguing her asshole...'

'This is bad! How do we keep Lumine from freaking out?'

That was why both had gone pale at the same time.

-Flick.

"What in the world."

Fortunately or unfortunately.

The clear light in her amethyst eyes vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

Her briefly illuminated world plunged back into darkness.

Lumine's lips parted wide.

"Meee!!"

"......?"

'What just happened?'

A situation where her sight had flickered back on, only to vanish again moments later.

Yi Hyun and Minerva each summoned a transparent window in midair.

To figure out why.

'Why did Lumine's eyes go blind again?'

'Ah, she instinctively did it because she couldn't handle the pleasure? As expected of our Lumine!'

The sage Minerva had pierced the truth with her blessing.

'Worsening? Oh right, she was using divine power to completely block it from turning her to stone. Guess that's undone now.'

Yi Hyun pieced it together with a single click of his tongue.

Their eyes met.

"Hyun, do you know what's going on?"

"The curse is worsening again."

"It's fine, Lumine~ Since it's almost fully released, the progression is super slow. Basically stalled out."

"The sage is right."

"N-no, we can't!!"

"Well, you see."

"If her senses suddenly come back all at once, her whole body gets hypersensitive and things could go really wrong. I left a bit of the curse on purpose, so don't worry—just wait a few days."

"Exactly like Hyun says!"

They synced up perfectly.

And why not? They both knew full well.

If the curse fully lifted now, all hell would break loose.

No one wanted the saintess pickled in pleasure and turned into an idiot.

It was consideration Lumine alone was unaware of.

'I really wanted to see Lord Yi Hyun's face properly, though.'

Lumine nodded slightly.

A clear sign of acceptance, letting them both exhale in relief...

-Crack.

"......Hah."

'Is she doing this on purpose?'

'There's semen on her pussy? She might get pregnant as a virgin!'

They let out sighs of a slightly different sort.

But Lumine remained blissfully unaware.

Lumine's treatment was put on indefinite hold.

It was the conclusion Yi Hyun had reached after consulting with Minerva.

-Whisper whisper.

"You're really staying at the temple for a few days?"

"Mess with her any more here and it'll be disaster, right? Can't exactly tie her up."

"Yeah. That might just excite her more and fully release the curse."

"What the heck is with her... Hah, guess this great sage Minerva has to help out. She did save my life like ten times over, after all."

And one more thing.

Minerva had volunteered to nurse Lumine.

Otherwise, she might finger herself to climax—the empire's sage was stepping in to keep watch personally.

Only then did Yi Hyun relax.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

'I was worried her pussy getting wrecked might botch the Saleos intercept op. Really dodged a bullet.'

As he thought that.

The high demon Saleos, who was even now barreling toward them at full speed.

Thank goodness the secret weapon to counter her hadn't broken.

And...

"Right. So now you'll tell me? What signal did Saleos send?"

The reason for the unplanned anal sex.

The Morse code sent into Clara's pussy.

He asked what it meant.

Minerva's lips twitched slightly.

"That? Just a string of misspelled words."

"Words?"

"Yeah. Must've learned 'em wrong somewhere, or memory faded after all these years."

"What words?"

"Correct the spelling and it's this: Herald, slave, peace, contract, hostage."

"......?"

Yi Hyun's eyes went wide.

Out came his signature expression—one Blanc called the cutest in the world, while Hilde and most others said it made him look like a total airhead proudly displaying his ignorance.

Unfortunately, even Minerva couldn't boast her knowledge in front of that look.

'Wish I knew what she meant...'

'Reading a high demon's mind is no joke.'

"That's really all of it. Sorry."

Minerva awkwardly turned her head with a sharp jerk—

Putting on a full show of regret for hyping herself up but delivering squat.

Yi Hyun didn't mind much.

"It's fine. I get the gist."

"...You do?"

"She's basically telling me to wash my neck and wait."

As he explained.

Herald: I'll come negotiate with you on behalf of us high demons.

Slave: Especially the bastard messing with my slave, Clara.

Peace: Remove him, and I promise peace.

Contract: So let's make a deal.

Hostage: Hand over Yi Hyun as hostage, and there'll be no bloodshed.

"Why is Saleos gunning for you so hard, anyway? High demons rarely step up personally, especially an alcoholic like her. Weird, right?"

"I attacked her through the brand she put on Clara. It was to lift a curse, but looks like I just pissed her off more."

"...Counterattacking through a high demon's brand? How?"

"My blessing."

"How many blessings do you even have? Sigh, whatever. I get it."

Even Minerva bought it.

And why not? High demons only had one thing to say to humans: die.

It was the most logical guess imaginable.

'No way a high demon's rushing here begging to be my slave.'

He lightly dismissed the stray thought that crossed his mind.

She was a demon, after all.

-Rustle.

'Gotta max out before doing it again with that enviable bitch...!!'

In a world where common sense was altered, being "normal" was meaningless.

But this was something even Minerva, let alone Yi Hyun, couldn't dream of.

Yi Hyun stood up.

"Sage, you absolutely have to keep Lumine on bed rest? Not even a fingertip?"

"Yup~ Trust me~."

"Four days? Don't worry, sensitivity will drop by a hundredfold by then."

"Yeah, that sorta thing."

He looked down at the confessional turned holy harem room.

There was the bed soaked in love juices and semen.

Lumine lying on it, and Minerva gripping her hand tight.

And finally.

The body slowly absorbing ninety-five orgasms through the loosened curse.

'Feels just good enough without fully breaking the curse.'

"Alright, I'll really head out then. If anything comes up, contact the Imperial 2nd Knight Order."

Truly relieved, he turned to leave.

Thud thud, creak—

His figure vanished from the confessional.

Only the two comrades remained.

Minerva's lips twitched slightly.

"...Lumine, how about it?"

"Marriage. You really want to?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Who knows~."

Minerva didn't point out her slip-up.

As a comrade and someone indebted for her life many times over.

She hoped Lumine could live happily oblivious to it.

Minerva knew well there were things better left unknown.

"Anyway, Lumine, what's the first thing you want to do when you can open your eyes?"

"Hm~? That's not the reaction of someone who says it's impossible."

"Pfft, it's been a while. I'd ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠tease you, and our Hero would step in to mediate."

After that, the two chatted about old times.

They had so many stories piled up with each other.

Perhaps because of that, the conversation stretched on until bedtime...

"Oh right, if you marry Hyun, how many kids do you want?"

"You said it yourself. Someday when it's peaceful, step down as saintess, have kids with the one you love, and live happily ever after."

As night deepened, the talk grew more intimate.

Minerva said it offhand, meaning she should prepare her heart to be with him starting now.

'With him, kids? Doing that sort of thing?'

"...Mmm♡"

——Even Minerva had no idea.

Lumine could climax from delusion ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠alone.

"Mmmhuuuung!!?"

"...Lumine!!?"

'I made sure nothing touched her—why suddenly!?'

Deep into the night.

The precariously released curse Yi Hyun had set.

Began crumbling under a tsunami of pleasure.

"Whaaa♡ Hic, this feels♡ weird♡"

"Snap out of it, Lumine! Control your divine power and reseal the curse."

"Muh, hiiiiiing♡"

"Lumine? Lumine!!!!"

It happened at dawn.

The day after halting Lumine's treatment.

"Lilliana? What's up at dawn? Morning baby-making?"

"Message from the Hero. Saintess's divine power went berserk, so intercepting Saleos is off the table."

"Gasp."

"...Nothing to say?"

The munchkin saintess, invincible in the capital, had broken.

"......"

'Hero, I told you not to wash her, just rice porridge for food!!!!!'

It happened the day before Saleos's arrival.
