Chapter 171: Revenge
The next morning, the first thing Guwon saw after leaving his room was Kate, standing helplessly outside his own door.
“G-Guwon? Are you in there?”
Kate called his name in a rather desperate voice as she knocked.
I didn’t sleep there last night.
I see. Since Kate didn’t know that, did she think I was deliberately refusing to answer?
“…What are you doing there?”
“Ah, G-Guwon!”
Hearing him behind her, Kate jumped, then broke into a broad smile.
“Ah, s-so you slept in a different room last night.”
“Yes. Did you need something?”
“Yes. About yesterday… It really was alright that I didn’t follow you, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it was. So? Did Pots say anything?”
“Of course he did. You looked at me so obviously. I played dumb and told him I knew nothing about it.”
“Good. Well done.”
“What exactly are you planning from here? Since I’m helping you, I’d like to know the plan more precisely.”
“Right. Put simply, the plan is to drop him, raise him up, then drop him again.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“First, we make Pots suspect you. We gradually give him little clues, but never anything decisive. We make him think it’s all in his head. Once he’s tangled up in that and the worry is eating him alive, I’ll act as the mediator. Your relationship, which was on the verge of collapse, will recover. No, it’ll go even further! When he thinks he’s reached his happy ending, we drop him right back into hell.”
“…You really have a terrible personality.”
“Given what he did, he deserves it.”
“But in that case, wasn’t showing your face a bad idea? You said you would be the mediator.”
“Of course, having someone else do it would have been better, but there wasn’t anyone I could ask. He won’t seriously suspect me over that much anyway. From now on, I’ll have to get on his nerves without showing myself.”
“I see. That would be best.”
“Anyway, did you come just to discuss that? Nothing else?”
We could have talked at any time later, yet she’d come to find me this early.
Surely she had another reason.
“Ah, yes. That’s right.”
But perhaps my sudden question flustered her, because Kate nodded reflexively.
For me, who had been resigning myself to another round with Kate first thing in the morning, that was excellent news.
Of course, I’d promised, so I would do it if she wanted.
“Right. Then we’ve cleared that up. See you.”
Before Kate could change her mind, Guwon said that and headed toward the dining room.
“Ah…”
Kate wore an expression that said this wasn’t what she’d intended, but he was already gone.
Later that day, as soon as Guwon returned from hunting, Kate, who was sitting at a dining table with Pots, waved desperately at him as though she’d been waiting.
Even if she was using the hand on the side Pots couldn’t see, waving that frantically looked likely to give her away to the man beside her.
Apparently, she was too desperate to worry about it.
Guwon watched with an unhurried expression, then slowly began walking.
“I’ll be right back. I need the bathroom.”
The moment he turned into the corridor leading to the bathroom, he heard Kate behind him.
“Hey!”
“What? Keep your voice down. They’ll hear you in the dining room.”
“Let’s do it now!”
“Hey. Aren’t you being too obvious? I explained the plan before. We’re supposed to avoid leaving any decisive evidence…”
“Forget that! I want to do it with you right now!”
…I see.
Well, a promise was a promise.
“You’re sure Pots won’t catch us doing it here?”
“Don’t worry. That idiot needs at least this much before he’ll even start to suspect anything.”
She’d known him longer than I had, so if she said so, perhaps she was right.
It didn’t seem like a calm assessment, but she would know that being caught by Pots meant her relationship with me would end that day.
In the end, I could only use my skills to the fullest and thoroughly satisfy Kate in a short time.
The morning after spending a night devoted entirely to Diana.
Something was a little strange about Pots and Kate in the dining room.
They were sitting at the same table, but there seemed to be some distance between them.
Usually inseparable, they were now sitting opposite each other. Pots’s loud voice was nowhere to be heard.
Kate looked angry, while Pots wore a complicated expression.
It was probably what I thought. Pots had finally started suspecting Kate of cheating, but she’d denied it and gotten angry at him instead.
Pots really did love Kate. Even while suspicious, he was too intimidated by her to make his case properly.
Good. Well done, Kate. That’s exactly it.
Her performance was so perfect that I would have praised her if we’d been alone.
No, was she genuinely irritated rather than acting?
After all, Kate had truly come to dislike Pots.
Her feelings had cooled the moment she heard he was a rapist and murderer. As she continued sleeping with me, they had developed into something close to hatred.
Kate’s genuine dislike of Pots was probably a major reason she was helping me so enthusiastically.
Watching them, I quietly smiled.
That night, while Leia went to shower, Guwon climbed into the ceiling again.
For the record, Leia was now training to remain fully conscious even when she suddenly transformed into a Gumiho, so they couldn’t bathe together.
If they did, Guwon would be the first to lose control and start caressing her everywhere.
What man could have Leia’s naked body before him, cover his hands with soap, and wash her without progressing to fondling? At least, no normal man could.
That was why he’d stopped bathing with Leia lately.
It was sad, but unavoidable for her sake. For our angel, this much was nothing.
And in the next room, Pots was on top of Kate again, thrusting his hips.
He didn’t have the benefit of a Saint class like me, but he still did this every day. As expected of an adventurer who’d leveled up enough to hunt here, his stamina was decent.
Even so, it wouldn’t be enough to satisfy Kate, who had been sleeping with me frequently lately.
What’s more…
“Can’t you do it properly? What’s wrong with you lately? Even a man who isn’t an adventurer would do better!”
“What?! Kate! That’s not fair! How would you know?! You keep bringing up other men lately! You’re not really cheating on me, are you?!”
“What?! Are you pathologically jealous now, too?! No, I’m not even your wife, which makes it worse! How would I know?! Do you think I never slept with anyone before meeting you?! Was I a virgin when we first did it?! No, I wasn’t!”
“Th-That’s…”
“Maybe you’re accusing me because you’re the one cheating, Pots! Are you trying to ease your guilty conscience?!”
“What?! Kate! Do I look like that kind of man to you?!”
“Then are you saying I look like that kind of woman?!”
Wow. What a powerful performance. Kate, you really could be an actress.
“Th-That’s…”
“Hmph! I’ve lost the mood! You’re bad at it, and now you’re suspicious, too! Pull out!”
“W-Wait, Kate…!”
Having watched that much, Guwon returned to his own bedroom.
Once again, asking for Kate’s help had been the right decision.
With that satisfied thought, he embraced Leia, who had just finished her shower.
Mm. This softness. Truly the best.
After sleeping soundly with Leia in his arms, he left the room the next morning and found Kate outside the door again.
She gave him a slight glare, then muttered something unexpected.
“Do you happen to have a peeping habit, too?”
“Wh-What are you talking about?”
“You watched last night, didn’t you?”
“H-How did you know?”
“You’re so eager to drive Pots into despair that I found it strange you would only hear reports about his condition from me. So I examined the room carefully, and in the ceiling…”
Seriously? I hadn’t even realized she’d spotted me.
“Pots doesn’t know, right?”
“Of course not. That oblivious piece of trash wouldn’t notice.”
Perhaps the emotions from yesterday’s performance still lingered, because Kate’s language was harsher than ever.
“Phew. Sorry, sorry. As you said, I wanted to see how things were going for myself.”
“You could at least have told the person helping you beforehand.”
“I forgot. Sorry.”
“Fine. More importantly… shall we go a round?”
“Hm? Are you desperate?”
“Of course. Do you even have to ask? Look.”
Kate abruptly lifted her skirt.
The sight beneath it was impressive. Her panties had long since stopped serving their purpose, turning transparent enough to reveal what lay beneath. The fluid escaping them had run down her thighs as far as her calves.
If she’d properly finished with Pots, things probably wouldn’t have gotten this far. Yesterday’s unfinished encounter must have driven her into this state.
“Wow. You held out well. Sorry for putting you through that for me.”
“It’s alright. Doing it after holding back like this feels even better anyway.”
She really loved sex.
I hadn’t awakened that in her, had I?
In any case, Guwon took Kate to Sara’s room.
After confirming that Sara had hidden herself as before, he let Kate in. Simply inserting himself and moving his hips a few times brought her easily to climax.
“Haa… Why is it like this…? Compared with other men…”
Even accounting for her arousal, Kate seemed bewildered by how easily she’d climaxed.
Afterward, a few more movements of Guwon’s hips brought her to climax several more times.
“Phew. That’s enough, right? Then… Ah, no. Judging by yesterday, I think it’s time to move things forward. Let’s see… Tonight, I’ll knock on your door like this. When you hear it, leave the room. Understood?”
Guwon tapped the floor in a distinctive rhythm as he spoke.
“Move things forward… You’re not going to call me at another strange time, are you?”
“How did you know? Have an excuse ready.”
“Haa… Fine.”
Kate sighed and nodded.
His talk of doing it tonight and testing things probably already told her what moment he would choose to knock.
Today was Sara’s turn, which made it an ideal night to act.
From today onward, Pots and Kate’s relationship would head toward disaster.
And that night.
Guwon opened the ceiling and peered into Pots and Kate’s room.
“Kate. Tonight, too…”
“What? You…”
Apparently, he still hadn’t soothed yesterday’s anger, because Kate openly showed that she didn’t want him to embrace her.
But Pots didn’t give up.
“I told you I was wrong yesterday. I suspected you for no reason. I’m sorry. Okay? Come here.”
“Hmph…”
Even while Pots desperately tried to soothe her, Kate stubbornly refused and kept glancing toward the door.
Ah, right. Was she judging the timing because I’d said I would give a signal?
Sorry, Kate. I have no intention of knocking before Pots gets you into his arms. That’s more dramatic, isn’t it?
Eventually, when no knock came no matter how long she waited, Kate began accepting Pots’s embrace with a resigned expression.
Once the mood had deepened and Pots’s breathing grew rough, Guwon climbed down from the ceiling.
I needed to get there before he came.
Guwon hurried to Pots’s door and pounded on it in the rhythm he’d taught Kate earlier.
“Fuck! What?!”
Apparently furious at being interrupted just before ejaculation, Pots cursed and opened the door.
Of course, before it opened, Guwon had used his Assassin skills to suppress his presence and hide.
I couldn’t show my face again.
After a little while, Kate appeared.
“Wow. You really came out?”
“Y-You called me!”
“Well, come along.”
Guwon brought her to the room.
Naturally, Sara was hiding in the wardrobe.
“What did you tell Pots before leaving?”
“What do you think? We fought again, and I left.”
“I see. Good. Now go back.”
“Wh-What?”
“Hm? Why? Do you need something else? I only wanted to make Pots more suspicious by showing him you’d leave even at a time like that. We’ve already achieved the goal.”
Kate stared at him in disbelief.
“What? Aren’t you going? Or… do you want to stay and do it with me?”
Pots would definitely catch us doing that, so I’d rather avoid it if possible.
My plan was to drive him to the brink without ever giving him decisive evidence.
“You…! Of course I do!”
But a promise was a promise. There was no helping it.
Well, if I finished her quickly and cleaned her properly, he probably wouldn’t notice.
