Chapter 611: The Arachne Clan's Trap
Chapter 611: The Arachne Clan's Trap
“So, you bastard. Why the hell are you here?”
She was still huffing, clearly not over her bad mood, but it seemed she hadn't completely lost her senses.
Alicia hooked an arm around my neck like a headlock and shot the question at me in a rough tone.
Hey. Why are you taking your anger out on me? This hurts, you know.
…Well, the pain was slightly mitigated by the fact that my cheek was pressed against her breast.
She really is stunning on the outside. If only her personality… if only that damn personality were a little better…
“Why are you so quiet? What? Mesmerized by big sis’s tits? Remembering the time you lost your virginity?”
“Hah. And they’re smaller than Leia’s… Keoheok…! I-I’m against violence…”
“What did you just say, you bastard?”
This cheap bastard…
She could say whatever she wanted, but the moment I said anything back, she resorted to force.
This is why you don’t have a man, despite that face.
The words rose to the tip of my tongue, but I wanted to live, so I had no choice but to swallow them.
“Lady Alicia’s breasts are large and soft, and when I rub my cheek against them… Gaaah! Why! I complimented you this time!”
“You call that a compliment?! That’s sexual harassment, you bastard!”
With that, Alicia covered her chest with one hand as if to protect it, released the headlock, and took a step back from me.
Seriously? Acting all modest now is just… so out of character.
Saying that out loud would obviously get me killed, so once again, I had to force the words back down my throat.
“Anyway, what I wanted to talk about wasn't anything special. I just wanted to clear up a little misunderstanding from a few days ago.”
“…A misunderstanding?”
“Yeah. You fought with my girls a few days ago, right?”
“Huh? Oh, ahh. Right, that happened.”
We were finally getting to the point, but Alicia looked like she barely remembered.
No, it wasn't that she didn't remember. It was more accurate to say she just didn't care.
I knew she had a laid-back personality where she’d just let things go after a fight, but to have this attitude after arguing with a group that included Diana of all people…
In a way, I guess you could say she’s a big person. Or something.
Seeing her attitude drastically sapped my motivation to continue, but since I’d started, I had to see it through.
Steeling myself, I went on.
“Anyway, to explain what happened then, my girls thought I was in a dangerous state.”
“But you were fine, weren’t you?”
And that was Alicia’s immediate response to my explanation.
Just as I thought. Well, I figured as much, which is why I came here to explain.
Back then, my party members were in a rush, thinking they had to get me back to the mansion immediately, so they just pushed Alicia away without a proper explanation.
It was so bad that even Diana used her position to take a high-handed attitude.
For Diana, who hated acting like that, to go that far just shows how desperate they were.
The problem was that in the middle of all that, I was talking to Alicia perfectly fine.
It must have been baffling from her perspective.
There I was, standing right in front of her looking completely normal, while everyone around me was treating me like fragile porcelain.
The fact that I was acting so nonchalant played a huge part in why Alicia was so clueless that day, blocking our path and provoking us.
…Though that doesn't change the fact that Alicia was being clueless.
“I was fine. But my girls didn’t think so. So, I hope you can understand why they were a little forceful back then. I’ll apologize on their behalf.”
In any case, I gave Alicia a slight bow and apologized for my party’s actions.
Me, subtly covering for my woman’s mistake from behind the scenes. Pretty cool, right?
“Sure.”
And upon hearing my apology, Alicia nodded casually without a moment’s hesitation.
Hey. I’m grateful you accepted the apology, but isn’t that a little too casual?
“Really? Just like that?”
“What, you want me to demand compensation for something so trivial? Forget it. I wasn’t even thinking about it until you brought it up just now.”
Seeing Alicia wave her hand dismissively as I asked for confirmation, I was reminded that, while her personality was a bit rough, she was a good person.
“Thanks, man. You’re a real dude.”
“Who are you calling a dude, you bastard! I’ve been letting things slide, but you’re really asking for it!”
I’d meant it as a lighthearted joke, but it must have struck a nerve, because Alicia charged at me fiercely, grabbed my arm in a flash, and twisted it.
“Agh. C’mon, boss. It was just a figure of speech… Ow! Ow! I tap! I tap!”
“I think you and I need to have a proper talk.”
I tapped out and yelled my surrender the moment she twisted my arm, but it seemed Alicia had no intention of accepting it.
She swung the hand twisting my arm, throwing me aside, and then suddenly started taking off her top.
Huh? Wait a second. Isn’t this conversation taking a weird turn?
“How about it?! You bastard! Do I still look like a man to you?! Huh?! HUH?!”
Alicia, who wore revealing armor even in the dungeon, naturally wore equally revealing casual clothes. It didn’t take much for her to expose her bare chest.
As a man, it was an unavoidable instinct for my eyes to be glued to the coffee-colored breasts jiggling before me.
I’d seen them when I first came to this world, but I didn’t have the luxury of appreciating them so leisurely back then.
Her personality aside, her looks really are superb.
That size, that firmness… and the contrast between her coffee-colored skin and pink nipples had the effect of making her look even lewder.
Come to think of it, I never paid much attention before, but her breasts are coffee-colored too.
Is that her natural skin tone? Or did she tan topless? Seeing how casually she takes her top off now, it’s entirely possible… Crap! Wh-what am I thinking! This is no time to be appreciating her chest!
When I finally came to my senses and looked up at Alicia, she was already staring down at me with a triumphant, beast-like smile.
“Hah. Staring like you’re trying to burn a hole through them. What was that? Manly? Bro?”
“No, I mean, your attitude is manly. A grown woman, just stripping down so carelessly.”
“You…! You little…! Hmph! Heh, heh. Trying to provoke me like that is useless. You couldn’t even take your eyes off my chest a second ago.”
“No, that’s…”
“That’s what? Hah. Can’t say it, can you? Just admit it. You got turned on seeing big sis’s tits. Bastard. It’s been ages since you lost your virginity, so why are you still getting mesmerized by breasts like a virgin? Huh? What? Remembering when you lost it? Wanna touch them? Hnngh!”
Alicia gloated down at me, spouting whatever came to mind with a victor’s smile.
Honestly, since half of it was true, I was just listening quietly, but as her provocations continued, a bit of defiance sparked in me.
Besides, since she’d just said it herself, I reached out, placed my hand on her breast, and squeezed hard.
“Wh-wh-wh-what are you doing, you bastard?!”
Alicia must not have thought I’d actually touch them. When I squeezed her breast firmly, she let out a seductive moan before flinching in surprise and slapping my hand away.
“What? You told me to touch them.”
“Who the hell actually touches them when someone says that?!”
“I’m right here. Was I not supposed to?”
“Th-that’s not it…!”
Alicia froze for a moment, as if her brain was working furiously.
“R-right! It hurt, you bastard! Why’d you squeeze so hard! You almost left a mark! This is why virgins are the worst!”
After a moment, as if she’d sorted out her thoughts, she pointed at her chest and shouted.
Looking closely at the spot she was pointing to, I could definitely see it was slightly red.
Well, I certainly did squeeze it hard.
I mean, the firmness was incredible. I couldn’t help myself.
“Hey. I’m not a virgin. What are you talking about, you’re the one who took it.”
But that was then, and this is now.
This was one thing I couldn’t back down on, so I looked Alicia straight in the eye and said it clearly.
She treats me like a little chick every time we meet. I have to take this chance to make it clear that I’m not a chick anymore.
“Hah. You’re all the same in my eyes. Little chick. You’re so bad at it, can you even satisfy a woman at night?”
But Alicia only provoked me further.
“What?! Are you done talking?!”
“Not even close, you bastard. Honestly, that first time… even for a virgin, what the hell was that? A rabbit would’ve lasted longer.”
And she did it in a way that dealt critical damage to my psyche.
“Y-you said you liked it back then!”
“I meant for a virgin, you bastard! Did you actually think you were good? You were fucking terrible!”
“……”
After hearing that, I could feel a single emotion raging through my mind.
I am going to fuck this woman to death.
“Wh-what is it, you bastard? Got nothing to say for yourself?”
Perhaps sensing my feelings, Alicia’s expression faltered for a moment, uncharacteristically.
Even so, she didn’t stop provoking me.
“…Alicia.”
“Wh-what.”
“You have now crossed a line you never should have crossed.”
“What?! N-no. Wait. Hey. I mean… Hnngh! Wh-what…?!”
As I said that, Alicia’s expression finally turned to genuine panic as she tried to say something.
Of course, I had no intention of forgiving her, no matter what she said.
Without another word, I shot a Saint’s Wave at her.
The moment the wave hit, Alicia collapsed forward, her hands flying between her legs.
I walked over to her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and forced her onto her back.
Then I knelt down and began to remove the last piece of clothing she wore on her lower body.
“Hnngh! Nngh! Hey, hngh! For real?!”
Even the great Alicia seemed flustered, crying out as she started to writhe.
But her movements only made it easier for me to get her clothes off.
And just like her top, her bottoms were made of very little fabric, so it didn’t take long for her to be completely naked.
And seeing Alicia’s fully exposed body, I… finally regained my senses.
Honestly, the anger was still there, but an overwhelming sense of guilt crushed me even more.
Dangerous! That was a close call. How long has it been since I told my girls I’d control myself, and here I was about to sleep with another woman again.
No, no way. This time, it absolutely cannot go that way.
“Hnngh… What is it? Chick? Scared now that you see a naked woman?”
Whether she knew what was going through my head or not, Alicia spoke in a taunting tone.
Hey. You were just about to be raped by me, you know?!
Where does that confident attitude come from?!
No, wait. Come to think of it, when she was squirming earlier, it was strangely easy to get her clothes off.
Could she be doing this on purpose?!
Huh?! Wait a minute. But why?!
Now that I had a clear head and thought about it carefully, I started seeing strange things everywhere.
It was also weird that Alicia hadn’t resisted.
Sure, her body was sensitive after being hit by a Saint’s Wave, but even so, if she had truly resisted, there’s no way I could have pinned her down so easily.
Realizing that, I understood that the entire flow of our conversation up to this point had been strange.
It started with me apologizing for my party’s mistake, but how did the conversation end up like this?
And she even took off her own top.
And all of this… happened deep inside the Arachne Clan House.
Wait. Wait wait wait wait. If I had just pounced on her, was there a future waiting for me where I’d be completely ensnared by the Arachne Clan?!
When I reached that conclusion, I felt a chill run down my spine.
“Hnng… Hah. Virgin bastard. Getting scared by a woman’s naked body…”
And the woman in front of me, Alicia, began to look like a terrifying strategist.
To be this provocative even after being hit by a Saint’s Wave. This woman is…
I felt an urgent need to get out of this situation as quickly as possible.
