After Tonight, You Will Know the Taste of a Woman
Ever since she told me she would help with the chores, the woman had been learning the ropes from me step by step. If there was work she could handle easily and find rewarding, it was cleaning.
“Whoosh! Get nice and clean!”
Above all, she truly loved cleaning and approached it with genuine sincerity. Even today, I could see her scurrying about, making a thump-thump-thump sound as she wiped the wooden veranda with a wet rag.
“Caris, do you enjoy cleaning?”
“Yes! I worked as a housekeeper in the past, so not only am I good at it, but I actually love it.”
“I see. Seeing you enjoy it so much makes me feel at ease for having entrusted you with the work.”
“Please, leave any cleaning to me!”
She even raised her arm to flex her bicep, showing her enthusiasm for the task. For her, having done her absolute best to help clean Wolhyangsa, I prepared a cup of refreshing oolong tea and some matcha rice crackers.
“How about we enjoy some tea together?”
“Oh, I’d love that! Thank you for the treat!”
With a bright smile, the woman plopped down onto the veranda and gulped down the oolong tea. After taking a bite of a cracker and swallowing, she stretched both arms out wide to yawn.
“Ugh! The air here is truly amazing! And there’s such a cool breeze blowing, too.”
From working so hard, her clothes were slightly disarrayed. Her fair, soft-looking thighs and the deep valley formed by her luscious breasts pulled at my gaze with magnetic force.
The moment the cool breeze blew toward me, the thick scent emanating from her armpits and the nape of her neck tickled the tip of my nose. It was a bewitching, erotic fragrance that made me want to bury my face in her and indulge right then and there if I ever started.
It was clear she was being defenseless simply because she thought it was only women present. The fact that she had no idea the woman before her was only thinking about devouring her made my body heat up.
“Are you spending a comfortable time while staying at Wolhyangsa?”
“Yes, of course! Except when I’m sleeping, I don’t think about that person at all. This place called Wolhyangsa is truly mysterious.”
“It seems you still think of your former lover.”
“Having spent five years together, it’s not easy to forget.”
She said that when she focused on work, she couldn’t pay attention to anything else. Perhaps she had been cleaning and seeking out tasks with all her might just to avoid thinking about her ex-lover.
“I wish there were things to do at night, too, but I have to sleep.”
“If you don’t get a restful sleep, the memories of the past will only surface more. So, please, don’t overexert yourself.”
“That’s certainly true. Still, if it means I can stop thinking about him, I often find myself wanting to work until I’m exhausted.”
It is the duty of a shrine maiden to help those who set foot in Wolhyangsa enjoy complete peace until they leave. To that end, it is also my duty to grant their desires.
“If that is truly what you wish, would you like to work at night as well?”
“If there’s work I can help with, I don’t mind if it’s at night! Even if it’s back-breaking labor, I’m fine with it!”
I smiled at her proactive response. The woman just giggled, as if she thought I was pleased with her attitude.
“When night falls, I will let you know.”
“Yes, Shrine Maiden. Might I ask what kind of work it is?”
“It will be work you have never done before. So, I will explain it to you step by step tonight.”
I didn’t give her even a shred of information about what the work entailed. Nevertheless, she clapped her hands and reacted positively. It must mean she wants to avoid thinking about her ex-lover that badly.
“It must be something only done in the East. That’s fine, too!”
“Once you have done that work, thoughts of your former lover will naturally vanish.”
“Really?! I’m so looking forward to it, Shrine Maiden!”
I brushed away a strand of hair stuck to her skin with sweat and handed her half a rice cracker. She thanked me and shoved the whole piece into her mouth at once. She looked small-mouthed on the outside, but it seemed the inside was quite spacious.
“This matcha cracker is really delicious. The sweetness and the bitterness go so well together.”
“Pfft… You even know the expression ‘bittersweet.’ Caris, you’re so well-versed you could pass for a person of the East.”
“Aww, it’s not that much.”

Time passed, and night arrived. The woman was resting in her room, and I was preparing the things needed for the work I would entrust to her tonight.
“Finally, I’ll be able to eat.”
Tonight, I will devour her. After all, this is the only way to grant her wish.
-Knock, knock, knock!
“Yes, Shrine Maiden. Come in.”
“Pardon the intrusion late at night.”
“You can come in comfortably. So, what is the work I have to do?”
“The work you will do, Caris, is receiving a massage from me.”
“…What?”
Her confusion was natural. She must have thought the work I would assign would be manual labor.
“That’s the work I have to do?”
“You must first receive the massage I provide. Only then will you be able to avoid getting hurt in the work that follows.”
“Ah, so it’s to loosen up my body. I understand.”
Thanks to the pure goodwill I had shown until now, she nodded as if she understood everything with just that explanation. Soon, she lay face down on the futon.
“You must take off all your clothes and lie down.”
“Take off all my clothes?”
“If you are uncomfortable, you may receive it while dressed, but the effects will not manifest properly.”
As I said this, I held out the Wisteria Extract and the Yin-Attuned Incense I had kept behind my back. Since I had heard that in the West, there is a highly effective massage called aromatherapy, I expected that showing her these items would be enough to convince her why she needed to undress.
“Ah, it looks similar to the massages I’ve received from time to time.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
“Not at all, Shrine Maiden Yeon. It’s better if I receive it properly. Besides, since it’s just us women, it doesn’t matter.”
Once again, she harbored a naive thought and, without hesitation, loosened her belt to let her clothes slide off. Now naked in an instant, she lay face down, covering her breasts with both hands, and buried her face comfortably into the pillow.
“Then, I shall begin.”
As I climbed on top of the woman, her fair, soft skin filled my vision. Her back was quite exquisite. It was so erotic that I wanted to start from her tailbone, lick it stickily, and indulge in the nape of her neck.
I lit the Yin-Attuned Incense with a match and gently stroked her back with both hands. It was skin that I couldn’t possibly believe belonged to a woman’s back.
Every time I applied pressure to loosen her muscles, her breasts were crushed and poked out to both sides. My hands naturally gravitated toward her shoulder blades, and my fingers yearned to caress them. But now was not the time, so I suppressed the urge as much as possible.
“Does it hurt?”
“Ugh… It hurts a little, but it feels refreshing.”
“You have a lot of tension here. I will apply a bit more pressure to loosen it.”
I rubbed the back muscles connected to her shoulder blades along the grain. In stark contrast to her fair skin, the muscles in this area were particularly knotted.
“Haa… Ah, it hurts… but it feels so good… Haa-aah… I keep… making… sounds… Ugh…”
Every time I pressed this area, a faint moan leaked from the woman’s lips. It wasn’t the melody of moans I desired, but I was satisfied knowing I could imagine what her erotic moans would sound like.
“Haa-aah… Th-there… that feels goooood…”
Her tongue even started to loosen. I tried my best to suppress the fact that my own pussy was getting wet, but hearing a voice like that made it difficult.
Her panties were already soaked, as if swallowed by her own arousal. If a little more fluid came out, it would seep into her skirt, and she would surely feel it.
“Does it feel refreshing?”
“Yes… it feels so refreshing… it’s goooood…”
My fingers twitched madly, yearning to caress her breasts. But there was something even worse: my own lust. I decided that, if nothing else, this was something I could not endure, and I let my shrine maiden robes slide down below my shoulders.
Naturally, my breasts and nipples were exposed in their entirety. I had only been rubbing the woman’s back, yet my areolas and nipples were already hard and swollen.
“Shrine Maiden Yeon.”
“Yes, Caris.”
“I think it’s a huge stroke of luck that I discovered Wolhyangsa by chance.”
She turned her face, buried in the pillow, slightly to the right and revealed a small smile. Perhaps she liked my touch, as she was sweating with her face slightly flushed.
“What I am applying to your body now is Wisteria Extract, which helps with fatigue relief and muscle relaxation.”
“I can smell a lovely fragrance?”
“That fragrance is a characteristic of wisteria. You might be surprised because it’s cold.”
My hand, coated in Wisteria Extract, didn’t touch her back, but landed squarely on her side.
“Hyaat…! I-it’s cold…”
“You will adapt to it soon. Please, just bear with it for a moment.”
Along with this, I leaned my upper body forward. My swollen nipples touched her back and were crushed against it. However, perhaps she was too distracted by the coldness of the Wisteria Extract to notice at all.
“When everything is finished, you will feel things you have never felt before♥”
