Chapter 341: Guwon’s Counterattack
Chapter 341: Guwon’s Counterattack
Alright. My essence has recovered a bit, and while my body still feels heavy, it's better than before.
“Well then, Rachel. Shall we head out?”
I spoke as I extended my hand to her.
It was just a simple gesture to help her up, but for some reason, Rachel flinched and her body trembled.
Huh? What’s with her? Ah, don’t tell me…
“S-Shall we?”
But the trembling lasted only for a moment. Rachel forced a smile as if nothing was wrong, took my hand, and pulled herself to her feet.
Even after she was standing, I continued to stare at her intently.
“W-What is it?”
“Rachel. Could it be that you…”
“Eek! W-What is it?!”
As I spoke and reached for her ear, she became visibly flustered, her face flushing red.
Seeing that, I was certain.
“I knew it. The reason you always cover your ears with your hair is because they’re an erogenous zone, isn’t it?”
“Haa… That’s not it.”
At my confident tone, Rachel sighed deeply, her expression turning serious as she denied it.
Huh? Oh? It’s not?
“Then why were you trembling?”
“Th-That’s…”
At that, Rachel’s face turned red again.
“That’s?”
“W-Well… it’s… ah, i-it’s leaking out…”
“W-Wha?!”
At the unexpected answer, I instinctively lowered my gaze toward her groin.
And there, I saw a white, cloudy liquid trickling down Rachel’s dazzlingly pale thighs.
“Seriously… just how much did you cum? Is there something to wipe with?”
“Ah, y-yes. Here.”
Never mind Rachel, I only came once.
Despite my inner thoughts, I took a towel from my inventory and handed it to her.
“Please turn around.”
Right, I’m not allowed to watch.
Leaving my faint disappointment behind, I obediently turned around.
Anyway, she’s regained her composure. Her reactions keep changing, I have no idea what’s what.
“Phew… I’m done. Let’s go now.”
After a brief rustling sound of cloth against skin from behind me, her voice spoke again.
“Ah, yes. Then the towel…”
“No. I’ll wash it and give it back to you.”
As I reached out to take the towel, Rachel clutched it tightly with both hands, hugging it to her chest as she spoke.
Isn’t that thing soaked with my semen and your fluids?
“No. You don’t have to do that.”
“I want to. Please try to understand a woman’s heart a little.”
Even when I said that, she spoke as if she were reasoning with a younger brother, showing no signs of backing down.
Hmm. I thought I’d gotten pretty good at understanding women lately. But I have no idea why she wants to wash the towel. Guess I still have a long way to go.
“Is that so. Then let’s go.”
There was no point in worrying about something I wouldn’t understand just by thinking about it.
I nodded obediently and made to leave the tent.
Just then, Rachel lightly grabbed my sleeve.
“Ah, a-and… thank you.”
“For making you feel good?”
“For. Sav. Ing. Me! Really…”
When I replied nonchalantly, Rachel answered by emphasizing each and every syllable.
Then she looked at me with the same cold gaze she’d used when she first rejected my advances.
I-I was just joking. Please don’t look at me like that.
I often joked with her when I got my Magic Stones appraised, and she’d always responded with a smile, so seeing her make this face was pretty intimidating.
I guess jokes like this are off-limits, even if we’ve had sex. After all, she was more or less forced into it.
“Ah, we haven’t completely saved that Beastkin yet. I’ll accept your thanks after he’s fully recovered.”
I mumbled an excuse and quickly exited the tent.
“Ah…”
I thought I heard a disappointed sound from behind me, but I paid it no mind.
She probably just leaked some more semen.
“Ah, Guwon.”
“Are you finished?”
As I came out, Sara and Diana, who were keeping watch, were the first to notice me.
Come to think of it, I was so focused on the healing that I didn’t even think to silence the sounds. Judging by their reactions, Diana must have cast a spell. Just as you’d expect from the oldest member, she’s so considerate.
“Yeah.”
“I see.”
And with just that reply, Diana said no more and went back to keeping watch.
I gave Diana’s head a little pat to show my gratitude, then walked over to where the rescued adventurers were lying.
Leia and Matilda were still there, their hands placed on the Beastkin’s wound.
The Beastkin’s complexion was still pale, but the gaping hole in his abdomen was, at least, almost back to its original state.
“How is he? Does he seem okay?”
“Yes. He’s past the critical stage, at least.”
Leia was sweating profusely, clearly exhausted, but she still managed a warm smile as she spoke.
“Haa… You look exhausted. Are you alright? If he’s past the critical stage, why don’t you take a little break?”
Rachel, who had followed me out, must have heard Leia, as she let out a sigh of relief and spoke.
“No. Even if he’s past the critical stage, it’s still dangerous to stop. And I want to finish the healing I started. If the two of us use up all our divine power, we should be able to heal him completely.”
But Leia replied with a serious expression.
“Is that so… Ah, couldn’t Guwon perhaps heal him? Like how he healed my body.”
After a moment of thought, Rachel suddenly said something completely out of left field.
“W-What are you talking about?! He’s a man!”
“Oh? But you never know, right? I mean, men have a hole back there, too.”
As I sputtered in bewilderment, Rachel teased me lightly.
Rachel! Weren’t sexual jokes off-limits?!
“There’s no ‘you never know’! It won’t work!”
“Have you tried it?”
“I already have!”
“Oh my…”
“Eh?!”
“W-What did you say?!”
“Wait a minute! What did you just say?!”
At my answer, everyone except Sara suddenly stared at me with terrifying intensity.
W-What?! What is it?! Is there a problem?!
While I was panicking, Diana rushed over like an arrow and started smacking me.
“With a man, of all things! A man! You had that kind of hobby?! No, when on earth did you even try it?! As open-minded as I am, I refuse to have a man as a rival in love!”
Diana shouted, hitting me much more forcefully and emotionally than usual.
Though it was still just light smacking, the words she spat out made my brain short-circuit for a moment.
…Huh? A man?
“N-N-No, that’s not it! When I said I tried it, I didn’t mean with a man! I meant I tried it with the butt! The butt! The partner was a woman, obviously! What are you even saying?! Wait, did everyone except Sara really think I did it with a man?!”
When I looked around, genuinely angry, everyone avoided my gaze.
Even my angel couldn’t bring herself to meet my eyes.
Silvia has always had trouble looking me in the eye, so I could let that slide… but no. Right now, we’re on guard for monsters. That means Silvia is in combat mode. Silvia. You too… I’ll get you back for this later.
Sara’s calm expression was at least some comfort.
Well, she knows how I ‘tried it’, so that’s probably why.
“You’ve all been looking at me like that this whole time?!”
“W-Well, if it’s the Saint, we thought it might be possible…” “Huh?!”
“N-No! It’s nothing! I’m sorry!”
Matilda started to mumble something, but at my harsh reaction, she immediately backed down and apologized.
“B-But with the butt… that’s pretty amazing in itself. It means you did it with one of the women here, right?”
She probably felt responsible for being the one who set off my anger. Trying to change the subject and calm me down, Rachel spoke with an awkward smile.
“Of course. As if I’d do it with some other woman…”
Just as I was about to answer, this time it was Sara who rushed over like an arrow and started punching me.
Wait. Sara. Don’t infuse your fists with mana. It really hurts when you add mana to it.
“Aargh! Sara! Calm down! I didn’t say it was you! Just that it was with someone here…”
“S-So, you’ve gone that far with Miss Sara?!”
Yep. Totally busted.
“You idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”
Sara’s face was bright red as she kept punching me.
“Hey! This time, you basically confessed yourself! Why are you taking it out on me… Aargh! Calm down! I’m sorry! I said I’m sorry, so stop putting mana in your fists!”
I’ll describe what just happened… exactly as it occurred.
I was definitely angry about being mistaken for being gay, but when I came to my senses, I was being beaten up by Sara.
I know you probably won’t understand what I’m talking about, but I don’t know how things suddenly ended up like this either.
“I see. So this is why there were always signals that Miss Sara was hitting Mr. Guwon…”
While I was desperately trying to stop Sara, I heard Rachel mutter to herself in understanding.
The Guild can tell when adventurers inflict harm on each other.
Of course, the Guild isn’t some schoolteacher, so they don’t break up every single fight.
As long as it’s just minor harm, they let it slide unless a report is filed.
The only time the Guild steps in first is when an adventurer kills another adventurer.
In other words, what I’m trying to say is…
Sara. It looks like the people at the Guild already found out about your… aggressive displays of affection.
Anyway, after all those twists and turns, we decided to make camp and stay the night.
It was still a long time until nightfall, but with both our healers having used up all their mana, it was too dangerous to move.
Besides that, we couldn’t very well carry the three adventurers who were still unconscious.
“To think we can have such a luxurious meal in the dungeon. When I’m with you, Guwon, it really doesn’t feel like we’re in a dungeon at all.”
“Being with me makes dungeoneering fun, right?”
“Fufu. It does. If it weren’t for my work at the Guild, I’d want to join you.”
As Rachel and I were having this conversation, Diana suddenly squeezed in between us.
“You two seem to have gotten quite close.”
“Hey. Who do you think handles my Magic Stone appraisals? It’s not that we’ve gotten close, this much is…”
I stopped mid-sentence, sensing a crisis instinctively.
Wait. If I say we were always this close, wouldn’t that be even more dangerous?
“This much is what?”
“This much is nothing compared to my relationship with you, Diana, right?”
“You really have gotten skilled at the most useless things.”
Diana muttered as if she were genuinely impressed.
But she didn’t seem to mind, scooting her butt closer and sticking to me as she blew on her soup.
Useless? This is a matter of life and death for me. It’s extremely useful.
I kept those inner thoughts to myself and picked up my spoon to eat my soup.
“Silvia. Stop vibrating. I can’t eat my soup.”
“Ah, augh. Auuu. I-I’m sorrryyyy…”
But with Silvia vibrating in my lap, it was impossible to eat.
Why is Silvia doing this, you ask? It’s her punishment for looking away earlier. It’s definitely not my hobby.
“Whoops. Oh dear. Silvia, are you okay?”
In the end, Silvia was vibrating so much that I spilled soup on her leg.
“I-I’m o-o-okaaayyyy…”
Yep. She seems perfectly fine.
“If that’s the case, why not just have her sit separately to eat?”
“No way. This is a punishment. Anyway, Diana, could you give me a hand?”
“Honestly, you men…”
Diana muttered and was about to reach out to me.
But someone else extended a hand before she could.
“Ah, I’ll do it.”
Rachel summoned a water spirit and immediately cleaned the soup off Silvia’s leg.
“Ah, thanks… huh?”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
Come to think of it, she can use water spirits. Then why did she insist on using a towel to wipe her own crotch earlier?
“N-No, it’s nothing.”
I was curious, but if I said anything about it here, Diana and the others might explode again.
I suppressed my creeping curiosity and decided to drop it.
