Chapter 550: For the Goddess’s Descent
Chapter 550: For the Goddess’s Descent
First, let me make a small excuse: it’s not that I forgot.
Of course not. How much have I suffered these past few days because of Sara’s condition?
There’s no way I would have forgotten.
But, you know. When I left this morning, Sara saw me off, right? And she was acting completely normal, wasn’t she?
So, yeah. It’s something like that.
…Sorry. To be honest, I completely forgot.
No, come on. Wasn’t Sara’s attitude when she saw me off this morning just too natural? It’s understandable that I’d be mistaken for a moment.
I mean, everyone who was there, even the brilliant Diana, let it slide without a word.
Well, there’s a chance Diana wasn’t in her right mind because of last night’s aftereffects.
In any case, that’s how Sara ended up regressing to her childlike state again, clinging to me like this.
Still, she’s gotten much better than before.
She’s still whining a bit, but at least she’s not bawling her eyes out.
Plus, she even knew our destination.
If she’d really wanted to, she could have come all the way to the temple, but the fact that she didn’t must mean her symptoms have eased up a bit.
“Are you calmer now?”
“Mhm…”
As I lay there, gently stroking Sara’s hair for a while, her anxious behavior of rubbing her cheek against my chest began to subside.
Perhaps a little embarrassed by her own actions, she blushed a lovely shade of pink and averted her gaze. It was incredibly adorable.
“Honestly. To get like this just because you haven’t seen me for a little while. Just how much do you like me?”
“Wh-What? Is there a problem?”
“Not at all.”
When I teased her, Sara tried to act tough, turning it back on me as if I were the one in the wrong. But when I gave her a light kiss on the lips, she blushed again and whipped her head to the side.
“Anyway, if you’ve calmed down, we should probably…”
I chuckled at her and tried to get up, but Sara showed no intention of moving off of me.
I was slow to notice because she was putting on a prim expression and pretending to be unfazed, but looking closely, I could see the hand gripping my chest was trembling slightly.
Honestly, this girl. She looks so cool on the outside, but she’s secretly the one who needs the most attention.
Of course, that’s not to say I dislike it.
“Want to go to my room together?”
Leia, Silvia, and Matilda had already read the room and excused themselves, as if to entrust Sara to me.
My original plan was to push Silvia more thoroughly, but since things turned out this way, I’ll have to postpone that for another time.
“Pervert. What are you planning to do the moment you get home in broad daylight?”
Despite her words, Sara finally, slowly, pushed herself up from on top of me.
“Hm? I just meant we could have some tea together. What exactly was our perverted Sara thinking to say something like that? Hmm? Miss Pervert Sara.”
“Y-You’re the pervert, Guwon!”
Bickering playfully, Sara and I headed to my room together.
And now, the two of us were alone in my room.
Naturally, there was only one thing to do.
No, let me be clear. I didn’t bring her here with this intention from the start.
I purely brought her here with the thought of staying with her until she calmed down.
But think about it. I was holding a girl this beautiful in my arms, just the two of us. And we were cuddling, all lovey-dovey.
Of course the mood would turn into something like this, right?
It’s not my fault.
“Besides, why didn’t you say anything this morning? You were so natural about it that I completely forgot.”
And so.
After the storm had passed, I held the naked Sara in my arms and finally asked the question.
For the record, I was naked too, of course.
Not only that, but my thing was still inside of her.
“Haah… haah… You’re asking that now?”
“Well… I’m curious. You knew, didn’t you?”
No matter what, there was no way Sara herself, the one experiencing it, would have forgotten.
I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking when she decided not to follow me.
“Of course I did.”
“Then why?”
“Th-That’s because… well…”
Sara, who had been looking at me with an ‘isn’t it obvious’ expression, blushed and mumbled, finding it difficult to answer when I pressed her.
Wait, was she already blushing? Heh. I really put in some work.
“Because?”
“B-Because I thought I could endure it.”
“…Hey. You idiot.”
“I-I don’t want to be called an idiot by you, Guwon!”
“Even so. After struggling so much until just recently, there’s no way you could endure it that easily.”
“B-But I got the necklace! I was happy, so I thought it would be okay! And I was making some progress…”
“Progress?”
“I mean… p-practicing…”
“Practicing? Were you practicing something like staying away from me?”
“Y-Yeah! What’s wrong with that?! I was able to endure it just fine when I was practicing!”
When I spoke in a slightly dumbfounded tone, the embarrassed Sara’s expression hardened as she shouted.
“I don’t want to have to follow you every time you go to meet another woman! And! I don’t want to keep being a burden… Ugh… This is why I didn’t want to say anything…”
Sara, who had been shouting with momentum, eventually lost the force in her voice. Seeing my sly grin, she started slapping my chest in embarrassment.
Hey. Don’t hit someone’s chest just because you’re embarrassed.
Well, she wasn’t channeling mana into her hands this time, so it didn’t hurt at all.
“A burden? I don’t think of it that way. How could my beautiful Sara following me around ever be a burden?”
“If I stay like this, it’ll be hard for you to ever have a relationship with Rachel, won’t it?”
“……”
“Hey! Guwon! If you’re going to act cool, why not see it through to the end?!”
No. Sorry. I’m really sorry. I was being shortsighted.
No matter how you slice it, that would be a problem.
“A-Ahem! Of course, it’s still totally fine!”
“It’s too late for that now!”
Despite her words, Sara didn’t seem truly angry. She just made a pouting face and didn’t say anything more.
“But it’s already dinner time…”
“You’re right. We’ve been in here for quite a while. Why? Are you sad at the thought of being apart from me? Do you want me to ask Leia to switch with you?”
“Idiot! There’s no way I could shamelessly ask for that favor so many times! I’ve already been a burden to Leia several times.”
“I see. So you’re not denying that you’re sad to be apart from me.”
“Y-You little!”
“Ow! Hey! Stop hitting me. You always resort to hitting when you have nothing to say.”
“That’s because you do things that deserve to be hit! It’s not like it even hurts you.”
Well, it’s true that it doesn’t hurt. At this point, this kind of thing from Sara is like a light form of skinship.
You could say it’s similar to Diana’s gentle pats.
As long as she doesn’t put mana into her hands, it’s such a cute gesture.
“Anyway, that’s not it. I just feel a little bad for Silvia.”
“Hm? Silvia?”
I hadn’t expected Sara to bring up Silvia at this moment, so I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion.
“Yeah. You were originally planning to be with Silvia today, right? Since you said you were going to the dungeon tomorrow.”
“Well, yeah… but there’s no reason for you to feel sorry. Silvia won’t hold it against you.”
If anything, she might be relieved to have escaped a life-threatening crisis… No. That can’t be right.
When all is said and done, Silvia enjoys being with me too.
But I was being sincere when I said Sara had nothing to be sorry about.
The one who should be sorry isn’t Sara, it’s me.
I had planned to be with Silvia, but I ended up getting swept up in the mood and doing this with Sara instead.
“Idiot. It’s because she won’t hold it against me that I feel even worse. Besides, Silvia is the only one you haven’t held yet, right? She might already be feeling left out since you haven’t given her the Apostle’s Seal yet…”
That was just like Sara, pretending not to care while secretly being very considerate of others.
Perhaps because she’d been trailing me constantly due to her regression, she seemed to have noticed that I hadn’t been with Silvia yet.
And she was even worried about the Apostle’s Seal.
“It’s fine. You don’t have to worry so much. If it bothers you that much, I can just postpone going to the dungeon by a day and spend all of tomorrow with Silvia.”
“Idiot. Then Silvia will just feel sorry to everyone else. Silvia is delicate, unlike you, Guwon.”
Hey. You might not believe it, but I’m delicate too, you know?
…Okay. Honestly, even I think that’s a bit of a stretch. My apologies for being so insensitive.
“What should I do… Right! Ugh… but… Hmm… Ugh!”
Sara fell into her own thoughts and started groaning in frustration.
I’m telling you, you don’t need to worry about it.
Honestly, her being too kind-hearted is also a problem.
To put an end to her worries, I decided to take action.
…Alright. To be honest, seeing a naked Sara groaning with that sultry voice from on top of me got me a little excited.
No, maybe her voice only sounded sultry because of my mood.
“Haah! I-Idiot! What are you doing, suddenly moving?!”
“Well, it looked like we could go one more time before dinner.”
“Now’s not the time for that! Hngh!”
Despite her protests, Sara eventually started moving her hips in time with my movements.
“Haa… you’re such an idiot…”
Well, she did complain at me the entire way to dinner afterward.
“I’ll take care of Silvia, so don’t you worry.”
Stroking Sara’s hair, I followed Vanessa toward the dining hall.
For the record, Vanessa was still completely ignoring me.
Now she wouldn’t even answer when I called her name.
Isn’t that a bit much?
I would think that the last incident would have raised her affection for me, not lowered it.
Besides, Felicia was the cause of her going into heat in the first place, so I didn’t do anything wrong.
Honestly, I have no idea what’s going on in Vanessa’s head.
In any case, after finishing our meal, I immediately called Silvia aside.
Just for a simple confirmation.
To that end, I told Leia to go take a bath in the large bathroom for the first time in a while.
“Wh-What is it?”
Having never been called aside by me at this hour, Silvia was trembling even more than usual as she asked her question.
What does it look like for someone who’s always trembling to be even more nervous than usual, you ask?
It looks like her, plastered against the wall on the opposite side of the room from me, her back turned as she shivers.
From her actions alone, she looked like a pitiful maiden about to be ravaged.
“First, let me apologize. I’m sorry. Since we were supposed to go to the dungeon tomorrow, I was planning on holding you today, but I couldn’t.”
“Y-Yeheh…”
When I bowed my head, Silvia relaxed a little and gave a nod.
“So, I’ll ask you straight. Are you okay? Like… has it become hard to bear? I’ve said it before, but you have to tell me before you can’t hold it in anymore, okay? If you can’t take it, I’ll postpone the dungeon trip and stay with you tomorrow…”
“I-I’m fine! You don’t have to go that far for me!”
Just as I said that, Silvia adamantly refused, just as Sara had predicted.
“No, but you…”
“I-I’m really fine! Because! You did it for me once at the palace!”
“That was just foreplay. And only once. There’s no way that could have been enough. Especially since your body can’t even masturbate…”
“I-I’m really, truly fine!”
“No, but…”
“B-Because! T-Today, at the temple…! S-Several times… huaaaa…”
As I persistently pressed her, Silvia finally collapsed to the floor, covering her beet-red face with both hands as she mumbled.
Hm? Today at the temple? Several times? Does that mean…
Right. Unless I use my skills, the principle by which she feels pleasure is through mental stimulation.
I see. So it’s possible with just that.
No wonder she so desperately refused when I tried to have her sit on my lap in the carriage on the way back.
“I-Is that so… Ahem. Anyway, that means there’s no problem with going to the dungeon tomorrow, right?”
“Y-Yehehh…”
Silvia’s reply was faint, and she looked like she wanted to die.
Yeah. I kind of feel bad.
“Right. And again, I’m sorry. When we get back, I’ll make you my top priority for the whole day…”
“Th-That’s really not necessary! I’ll dieeee!”
No, I mean, with something like that… Ah, didn’t she stop breathing for a moment today?
I-It’s fine! When we have sex, Healing Sex will activate too
