Chapter 350: The True Nature of the Giant Magic Stone
It seemed I had fallen asleep at some point.
I slowly woke to the feeling of something poking my cheek.
“Hm. Oh, dear. Did I wake you?”
When I opened my eyes, Diana’s pretty face was right in front of mine, staring at me.
She didn’t seem to have intended to wake me, as she was looking at me with a slightly apologetic expression.
Even so, perhaps unconsciously, the finger poking my cheek kept moving, giving it light, rhythmic jabs.
Before my just-awakened brain could even start working properly, I decided to first hug the cute creature in front of me.
“Whoa! Wh-What is it?! Are you angry that I woke you?!”
“Diana, you’re so cute.”
“Don’t confuse me!”
Ignoring the hand poking my cheek, I pressed my other cheek against hers, rubbing them together as I spoke the words my instincts demanded.
In response, Diana looked exasperated and lightly pinched my cheek with the same hand she’d been poking me with.
“What’s this? Were you scared I’d be angry?”
“If you were, you would just use it as an excuse to do strange things to me, would you not?”
Ah, so that’s what she meant. My reputation seems to be getting stranger and stranger.
Well, considering my very first thought upon hearing her words was, ‘I should have pretended to be angry. I missed a great opportunity,’ I couldn’t exactly deny her accusation.
“Strange things? Like what, for example?”
“Even for one such as I, I daresay it is impossible to predict the strange things you are capable of.”
I asked, hoping to tease her a bit more, but it didn’t work on a composed Diana.
“Aren’t you being a little too humble for the Supreme Archmage?”
“It is merely a testament to your creativity.”
“That’s not a compliment, is it?”
“Think of it as you will.”
“Alright. I’ll take that as an insult and retaliate.”
“Eek! Wait! Hya! Stop touching me in weird places!”
As I tickled her all over, Diana squirmed and flailed her arms and legs.
I kept tickling her for a while, only stopping when it seemed like she was truly about to run out of breath.
Afterward, Diana went limp on top of me, panting heavily.
“Hah… haah… hah… haah… R-Really. I cannot let my guard down around you for a second, even right after you’ve woken up.”
Her ragged breaths sounded strangely sensual.
Even more so because she had just finished a shower, leaving her whole body flushed and her hair still slightly damp.
Seeing her like this, it seemed I hadn’t been asleep for that long.
“It’s your fault for poking the sleeping lion’s whiskers.”
“The problem is that you fell asleep, even after I said I would be right back. Were you that tired? Or are you still worried?”
Her words sounded like a reprimand, but her expression was full of concern.
Seeing this side of her, she’s unmistakably a grandmo—an elder.
“No. You know I’m not that complicated a guy, right, Diana?”
As I said that, I cupped her cheeks with both hands and gave her a light kiss.
I wasn’t lying just to reassure her.
It’s true I was scared and worried at first, but several days have passed since we investigated the giant Magic Stone on the 3rd Floor.
Now, I mostly felt like whatever happens, happens.
Going into the Dungeon is already a life-or-death affair to begin with.
Even if our party is currently staying on a floor far below our actual level.
So what difference does one more threat make at this point?
Besides, if the Goddess has any sense, she’ll give me an order that’s actually within my abilities.
She wouldn’t have brought me to this world just to give me some impossible task, right?
It might just be self-reassurance, but I had already decided to think that way.
“A naked Diana right in front of me is far more important than some task I don’t even know when or if I’ll have to do.”
Diana, who had been looking worried, just shook her head with a deflated expression.
“In a way, that lecherous side of yours is almost admirable.”
“You’re lucky to have such an admirable husband, then.”
“That was not a compliment!”
Despite her shouting, she didn’t avoid my kiss.
In fact, she cupped my cheeks with her own hands and actively tangled her tongue with mine.
Our dear Archmage really loves to kiss.
When I gently caressed Diana’s ears, which were much longer than Rachel’s, she narrowed her eyes in pleasure and let out a cute little huff through her nose.
With Diana lying pressed against me, I reached my hand over her cute bottom.
My hand didn’t stop at the cute cleft of her ass, but continued inward until I felt the texture of her pussy, which was still not quite ready.
The moment my fingertips touched her, Diana lightly bit my tongue with her front teeth, as if telling me to focus on the kiss.
What’s with her? We were both naked and about to have sex, yet she seemed strangely hesitant about it.
Does she enjoy kissing that much? Don’t worry. I won’t neglect the kissing.
As if in reply, I gave her tongue a gentle bite back and began to softly caress her still-dampening folds.
Diana’s skin was soft and supple everywhere, but the flesh there was especially plush, changing shape under my fingertips.
But even as it shifted, her entrance remained tightly sealed in a line.
When I gently stroked that entrance as if praising it, Diana’s body shivered, and her pussy twitched in response.
Still, it wasn’t enough.
I moved my hand to the protruding button just below that line, pressing down firmly as I vibrated my fingers.
“Hnnnngh!”
Finally, I got the reaction I was hoping for.
A gush of slick fluid poured from Diana’s tightly closed entrance, soaking the area.
Her ragged breath tickling the skin above my lip told me just how good she was feeling.
Since Diana’s Charm was a whopping 500, she normally wouldn’t get this wet so easily.
The fact that she was this wet without me even using a skill must have meant she was more than ready to accept me.
“Hah… Mmm… Are you… going to do it?”
As I placed my hands on her waist, lifted her slightly, and aligned myself with her wet entrance, Diana broke our kiss and glanced to the side.
Huh? Is there something over there?
I followed her gaze, but as expected, there was nothing there.
Just the usual furniture decorating the room.
“Diana? What’s wrong?”
“No. It is nothing.”
She replied, then lowered her hips herself, slowly sheathing me.
“Hnngh! Huut, huut… Th-Then, I shall begin to move.”
With that, she began to slowly move her hips.
But something was still strange.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was holding back with her movements.
It was as if she was trying to make it feel just good enough, but not too good.
Of course, being inside Diana with her 500 Charm felt amazing regardless, but if we were going to do this, I wanted it to feel as good as possible.
“Ngh! No! I will be the one moving today, so you just stay still!”
She even stopped me when I tried to move my own hips.
There was definitely something going on.
My intuition screamed it.
“Oh, really?”
“Mm. For you, who is trembling with anxiety, I shall make a special effor—iiiiing!”
I first played along to lower her guard, then, seizing the perfect opening, I thrust my hips upward in an instant.
As I suddenly activated all my skills and began to move, the ambushed Diana shot bolt upright on top of me, her head thrown back as her body trembled violently.
Her high Charm stat seemed to prevent her from climaxing just yet, but the surprise attack was enough for me to seize control.
“Hah! Wai—hyng! Sto—hiyat! I—!”
Just as I thought, something was up.
Even in this situation, Diana tried to resist, sputtering out those words to the very end.
It was useless, though.
Diana, my dear. No matter how high your Charm is, you can’t possibly beat a Saint who’s gotten serious in bed. It might be a different story if your level was higher than mine, but you’re still far below me.
“Diana. What are you plotting?”
“Hnngh! Wh-Hng! What do you mean—!”
I asked while thrusting violently, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of answering.
Playing innocent, are we?
I grabbed her torso and spun us half a circle, reversing our positions.
Pinning Diana to the bed, I held her hips firmly and began to pump rapidly, thoroughly attacking all her best spots.
“Hieeeungh! N-No! This is—! Iheeeungh!”
“What? What’s not allowed?”
I asked, but she didn’t seem to have the capacity to answer.
She could only shake her head back and forth, gripping the bedsheets tightly with both hands as she tried to resist the pleasure.
Still not enough, huh?
While still holding her hips, I extended my thumbs and pressed down firmly on her lower abdomen, right where the Apostle’s Seal was engraved.
I used Saint’s Touch for good measure.
“Answer me, Diana. What’s not allowed?”
“Hiuuuuungh!”
But instead of answering, Diana climaxed, erupting in a magnificent fountain.
“Haaah… smack… hahm… hmm… hngh!”
I placed a light kiss on the lips of the dazed, panting Diana. With arms that could barely move, she draped them around my neck and accepted my kiss.
The subtle hesitation she’d shown earlier was completely gone. Now, her insides squeezed and pulsed around me, as if begging for more.
If our Archmage wants it that badly, then I have to deliver.
While still kissing her, I began to move my hips furiously again.
“Hnnnngh! Hhmp! Hhmp! Hnnngh! Mmph!”
Diana was feeling it so intensely her eyes had glazed over, but she desperately tried not to break our kiss, kissing me back with all her might.
“Hnnnnnngh!”
But that didn’t last long either.
The moment I came inside her, Diana climaxed at the same time, going limp on the bed once more, lost in the afterglow.
If it was going to end up like this anyway, why on earth was she so hesitant before…?
I wanted to ask why, but she didn’t look like she could possibly answer in her current state.
I decided to ask later and, for now, just continue enjoying my time with Diana.
“Was it good?”
“Haah, haah, haah… Mmm. Smooch.”
Only after we had both had our fill did we finally stop our passionate movements.
I asked the question while letting her use my arm as a pillow, and instead of answering, she gave me a cute, affectionate kiss.
“So, what was that all about at the beginning?”
“Hm? What was what?”
“You were moving so awkwardly at first, like you were holding back. What was that?”
“Hah! Ahhh…”
At my question, Diana seemed to suddenly remember something and tried to sit up, but her body gave out and she collapsed back onto the bed.
Not giving up, she rested her head on my body and turned to look to the side again.
Come to think of it, she looked over there before, too. What the heck?
I turned my head to where she was looking.
Again, there was nothing… Ah, was she looking at the clock on the wall?
“Mmm… More time has passed than I thought. I had originally planned to only do it once…”
She said, shooting me a resentful glare as if it were all my fault.
“Huh? Did you have something to do?”
“Well… isn’t today supposed to be Sara’s turn? I was planning to do it just once and then send you to her.”
“Huh? But that was…”
“Of course, Sara was in the wrong, but I am not so petty a person. Besides, it seems she only did it with you once that day, and you ended up spending the rest of the night with me, did you not? I figured she must have reflected on her actions enough by now, and that her punishment was sufficient, but…”
As she spoke, she gave my still-erect member a light slap.
Hey, don’t blame him. You enjoyed it too.
“So, you’re saying you were deliberately half-assing it because you were afraid you’d feel too much and lose your mind if you went all out?”
This adorable girl. How can someone so old… anyway, why is she so cute?
“I-It’s not that I would, but that you would lose your mind and not listen to me!”
Who said anything?
Overreacting like that is basically a confession.
“Are you really okay with that, Diana?”
As cute as she was, her thoughtfulness was just as admirable.
I checked with her one more time, but she nodded as if her mind was already made up.
“We all love the same philandering husband. You, being a simple man, may not know this, but we girls have our own set of unspoken rules we live by. Of course, what Sara did was utterly infuriating, but I do not believe it was enough to warrant having her entire night taken away.”
Saying that, Diana looked more mature than ever.
It’s at times like this that I’m really reminded she’s the oldest of the group.
“If you understand, then go to Sara now.”
“Diana… aren’t you a little too nice?”
“W-Well… and by doing this, I can secure a clear advantage in my relationship with Sara from now on, can I not?”
Diana said, blushing slightly as if embarrassed.
It was obvious she didn’t really mean it and was just saying it to cover up her kindness.
“Alright. Tomorrow night, I’ll treat you the best.”
“Your definition of ‘treating me the best’ fills me with nothing but anxiety… but well, I shall look forward to it.”
Moved by my dear Diana’s kind heart, I picked up my clothes and got dressed.
“Wait. Before you go… mmm.”
Before Diana could even finish, I gave her a deep kiss.
But no matter how generous she was being, Diana would surely feel lonely being left by herself like this.
I felt bad.
“Diana.”
“Hm?”
“If you want, you can come with me, Diana.”
“You really are something else! Are you an idiot?! Just get out of here already!”
I meant it as a kind offer, but in the end, I was driven out by Diana’s flurry of light punches.
Well, it’d be a lie to say there wasn’t even 1% of lewd intent, but it really was a kind offer.
Kicked out of the room, I headed straight for Sara’s.
Since it was so late, Sara was probably asleep.
Since I’m going anyway, why don’t I give her a little surprise?
