Chapter 355: Guwon's Counterattack
Chapter 355: Guwon's Counterattack
“Ughhh… I’m an idiot…”
The sun was up, and our activities had finally calmed down. Sara was draped over me, her cheek pressed against my chest, when she muttered in a despairing voice.
“Idiot. Ow. That hurts, Sara.”
“Jeez. Really. Just how sturdy are you?”
Seeing me feign injury, Sara shot me a glare, her eyes pretty even in her annoyance.
I was just agreeing with her since she called herself an idiot. To think she’d attack me and even glare at me for such a ridiculous reason. So unfair.
“So. After all that fun, why the sudden gloom?”
“Ugh… I told you before. As a sign of my repentance, I really wasn’t going to do it until Diana had her turn.”
Was that what she meant? I understood what Sara was saying, but I decided to tease her a little.
“Don’t worry. I already did it with Diana.”
“You know that’s not what I meant! Guwon, what were you thinking? We even went at it until morning… What am I going to say to Diana….”
Just as I expected, Sara looked completely lost. She grabbed her face with one hand and cried out in frustration.
“And the girl who knew all that still gave in to temptation and rolled around with me all night?”
“You were the one who tempted me! You!”
Sara shouted, smacking my chest repeatedly.
It seemed her worries about what was to come had taken a serious toll on her mental state.
She’s usually brave enough to stand up to the great Archmage, but she gets weak when she thinks she’s done something wrong.
“Calm down. It was a joke.”
“You’re joking at a time like this?!”
“No, that’s not it. I got permission from Diana before I came.”
“Huh? Eh?”
“What’s with the ‘Huh-eh’? Why are you suddenly trying to act cute… Ouch!”
“Stop talking nonsense and explain properly!”
Th-this girl… she infused her palm with mana.
Just a moment ago, she was hitting me normally.
Was she that offended by me saying she was acting cute?
Does she actually want me to call her cute?
“Yes, ma’am.”
Of course, I didn’t test that theory, since she looked like she’d get genuinely angry if I teased her any further.
I obediently relayed what Diana had said last night to Sara.
“So… Diana…”
Sara muttered, her expression a complex mix of emotions.
“So you should be grateful to our Diana. And to me, as a bonus.”
“Of course I’m grateful to Diana… but what are you trying to take credit for?”
“Take credit? Even if Diana told me to go to you, it would have been over if I’d refused. Besides, I was interrupted too. Since we’re taking turns, I was planning on giving my all to one person each day during that time.”
“As if you weren’t happy to be with both me and Diana at the same time…”
“Hmph!”
Sara muttered, not being entirely honest, but when I put on an exaggeratedly stern expression, her face immediately fell.
“S-sorry… I’m really reflecting on it. Thank you.”
“What about ‘I love you’?”
“I-I love you…”
Seeing Sara being so honest for once was incredibly cute.
Alright. I can’t miss this opportunity.
Maybe I should get her to say something else I want to hear.
What should I make her say?
Now that I’m trying to think of something, nothing comes to mind.
For now, I’ll just make her say something that’ll make her die of embarrassment.
“That’s not enough. Try saying, ‘Guwon is the only one for me. Meeting Guwon was the greatest fortune of my life. I love you more than anything in this world.’”
“You idiot, really! I let you get away with it and now you’re pushing it!”
Sara smacked my chest.
This time, she didn’t infuse her palm with mana.
“That kind of thing… even if I don’t say it, that’s what I’ve always thought… You should know that. Idiot.”
Then, as if she didn’t want me to see her face, she ducked her head and pressed her forehead against my chest, muttering quietly.
Keuk. What is this adorable creature?
“Kh, ahem. You didn’t say it directly, but I’ll accept that.”
“Pfft. Look whose heart is pounding after making me say that.”
“Shut up! It’s because you suddenly squeezed my little man!”
“I-I didn’t squeeze! How can you say something like that in this atmosphere?! You pervert, really! Hmph! Don’t move!”
Despite her words, Sara adjusted her posture to make it easier for me to move.
I knew I shouldn’t have said something that would create such an uncharacteristically sweet atmosphere.
I was almost caught off guard and nearly lost the initiative I’d worked so hard to gain.
In the end, we could only go down to the dining hall after one more round.
“Diana. Um…”
“It’s fine. Miss Sara seems to have reflected on her actions, so say no more.”
As soon as we got down to the dining hall, the first thing Sara tried to do was thank Diana.
But our mature Diana brushed it off as if it were nothing.
It seems all that talk about taking the initiative in her relationship with Sara was just talk. She’s too nice.
“Why are you patting my head the moment you arrive?”
“Because you’re cute?”
“Why the question mark? Say that I’m cute properly.”
“Diana, you’re cute.”
“Mm.”
Only then did Diana nod, satisfied.
Is that all it takes to satisfy you?
Besides, she didn’t even think of removing my hand from her head.
No. In fact, she made me sit in the chair she’d been in, then plopped down right onto my lap.
Sara must have thought Diana’s behavior had broken the mood for a formal thank you, so she just bowed her head in gratitude before taking her seat.
“So, what should we do today?”
After finishing our meal, I leaned back deep into my chair and muttered.
As soon as the meal was over, Sara went to her room, saying she was going to catch up on the sleep she’d missed last night. Leia also left, saying she had business at the temple.
If she were going to the orphanage, I would have considered going with her, but ever since that last incident, I’ve been reluctant to go to the temple.
I managed to persuade the High Priestess, but I couldn’t be sure she was the only one who’d come up with the idea of a marriage between the Saint and a holy woman.
Besides, there was no telling how the incident in front of the Guild yesterday might have been reported to the temple.
Not going to the temple wouldn’t solve everything, but it would certainly lower the probability of an incident compared to going.
Leia seemed to understand how I felt, telling me with a smile that it was okay.
Diana was still elegantly enjoying her post-meal tea on my lap, but in any case, I had nothing to do right now.
Should I play with Silvia over there in the corner?
I haven’t teased her at all today, so her gaze seems a little lonely. Or am I just feeling that way because I want to play with her?
“Silvia. Come here.”
“Ah, auuu…”
Silvia slowly approached me, dragging her feet like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.
“Silvia. Press yourself against my back.”
“Y-yes. Hehet. Hiuu…”
I couldn’t hug her since Diana was on my lap.
So today, for a change of pace, I had Silvia hug me from behind.
Silvia pressed herself tightly against my back over the chair and immediately started vibrating.
I glanced at her face resting on my shoulder; her eyes were squeezed shut, as if she were desperately holding something back.
Should I tease her a little more?
I turned my head and lightly pressed my lips against her soft cheek.
“Heh? Eh? Auu… Aaaaaah…”
At that, Silvia’s legs seemed to give out, and she went limp with a strange sound.
And yet, the vibrations didn’t stop. I don’t know whether to call that amazing or what.
“You there. Stop shaking.”
It seemed the vibrations were disturbing Diana, who was elegantly sipping her tea on my lap.
Tch. Can’t be helped, I guess.
“Silvia. You can let go now.”
“Hauut! Yes…”
Silvia released her arms from around me and slid down to the floor.
Then, with no strength in her legs, she desperately began to crawl toward the corner.
Was it that intense? If you just changed the background to a battlefield, she’d look like a knightess desperately struggling to survive.
Now that I can’t play with Silvia anymore, what should I do?
Once my duty as Diana’s chair is over, should I just go take a nap like Sara?
My body wasn’t tired thanks to Healing Sex, but mentally, there’s a difference between having slept and not having slept.
Especially since so much happened last night.
I glanced over at Vanessa, who was standing quietly in a corner of the dining hall.
A perfect poker face. An expression so blank it made last night’s events seem like a lie.
Come to think of it, I need to get that maid outfit back.
“U-um!”
Just then, Matilda called out to me.
Come to think of it, she didn’t follow Leia either.
Has she finally realized she’s a nuisance when she goes outside?
“Yeah?”
“W-well… that is… if you have nothing to do…”
Despite being the one to call me, Matilda hesitated, looking like she found it very difficult to speak.
Well, from what she’d said so far, I already had a good idea of what she was going to ask.
Couldn’t she at least ask for something like that when my girls aren’t around? Have some consideration.
Alright. I’ll tease her a bit so she won’t be able to say things like that anymore.
“If you shout ‘Please have sex with me!’ at the top of your lungs, I might consider it.”
“S-s-s-shameless…! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!”
“Why should I be? You’re the one who’s about to be embarrassed. Now, loud enough for the whole mansion to hear…”
“Are you an idiot!”
Before I could finish, Diana, who was sitting on my lap, reacted first, lightly hitting my chest in protest.
I was just trying to teach her a lesson so she wouldn’t say such things in front of you all. So unfair.
“Diana, that hurts.”
“Don’t lie!”
Diana patted my chest again, then blew on her own fists as if she were the one who was hurt.
“Anyway, Miss Matilda, this man today…”
“P-p-please… have sex with me! Ugh. Shameless… W-why am I saying this…”
She actually did it just because I told her to.
“…This man has business to attend to today.”
But despite Matilda’s cry, Diana spoke coolly, her tone fed up.
“Huh? I had something to do?”
“Mm. We must go to the blacksmith. If we’re to go to the 4th floor, waterproof coating is essential.”
Ah, that’s right, she did mention that.
Besides, I had business at the blacksmith’s even without that.
Those guys… I bet they’ve been running their mouths.
How dare they repay my kindness with betrayal? Just you wait.
What should I do to them?
Should I just make him impotent?
I don’t have to crush his balls like that guy at the orphanage; there are plenty of ways to make a man impotent.
I just have to make him keep cumming. Until he’s on the verge of death.
Then he won’t be able to get it up for a while.
And if I do that every time I go to the blacksmith after a trip to the dungeon… the ‘Project: Permanent Impotence’ will be complete.
No, as a fellow man, isn’t that too cruel?
It’s not like he committed the grave sin of laying a hand on one of my women.
In that case… right. Should I grant his wish and make him better with Hanna?
I’ll cast a weak Saint skill on him and put him in a permanent state of heat.
With a proper partner right there beside him, I’ll make it so they just keep going at it all day long.
This is a good idea.
“You. What are you thinking? You have a sinister look on your face.”
“No. It’s nothing. Are you ready? If you are, let’s hurry to the blacksmith.”
I felt like I could run to the blacksmith’s this very instant.
“W-wait! Then what about me…?!”
“Hm? You’re watching the house, of course. Were you planning on going out?”
“Th-that’s not it…! I shouted it properly, didn’t I?!”
“Ah, that. Sorry. Not today. Next time.”
“H-h-how could you…! Then what did I do that for…?!”
Matilda’s face turned bright red as she trembled.
Sorry. I really didn’t think you’d actually do it.
I feel a little bad.
I’ll have to find a chance to do it with her as soon as possible.
Even as I thought that, my top priority was still going to the blacksmith.
“You’re coming too, right, Diana?”
“Mm. Of course.”
I don’t know what ‘of course’ referred to, but it seemed Diana was coming with me to the blacksmith’s anyway.
“Then Silvia too… Vanessa. Could you put her to bed in her room?”
Silvia seemed to have run out of energy before even reaching the corner; she was sprawled on the floor with a blissful expression on her face.
“…Yes.”
And so, it ended up being just Diana and me going to the blacksmith.
Was this a reward for Diana’s good deed last night?
