Chapter 62: The Beastkin Priestess
Chapter 62: The Beastkin Priestess
In the end, Guwon stayed up all night.
Of course, that didn't mean he just lay there doing nothing.
With Leia lying on top of him, constantly stimulating his member with her pussy, Guwon had to cum several times despite barely moving.
…To be honest, the pleasure was so intense that Guwon did move his hips a little.
B-But he hadn't moved enough to wake Leia, so that was fine, right?
Being told to lie still while being stimulated like that was pure torture.
Leia sometimes trembled and moaned, but as long as she didn't wake up, it was all good.
Anyway, he learned a few new things in the process.
First, there was that flash of light he saw when he came.
As he came again and again, he remembered that flash and tried to focus on his life force gauge.
And he saw it: the moment he ejaculated, his life force gauge plummeted before instantly recovering.
It seemed this Gumiho drained a massive amount of his life force when he came.
However, the effect was immediately offset by Healing Sex, which restored him upon climax, making it look like nothing more than a brief flash.
At this point, it felt like the Healing Sex skill was a perfect counter to the Gumiho.
And another thing: there seemed to be a limit to how long she could stay in her Gumiho state.
After Guwon came for the umpteenth time, the bewitching aura radiating from Leia's body suddenly vanished.
Guwon craned his neck to look over her back and saw that only a single, golden-furred tail remained on her backside.
It seemed those translucent, violet tails only appeared when she was in her Gumiho state.
After all, when he'd first pulled back the covers, she'd definitely only had one tail.
So what exactly was that Gumiho state?
Many questions remained.
Did Leia enter that state of her own free will?
Though it had been brief, the difference in personality between her normal self and her Gumiho self was immense.
Was her usual demeanor just an act?
“Mmm….”
Just as Guwon was lost in thought, Leia finally began to stir.
Guwon tensed slightly and watched her.
What would she be like? She wouldn't suddenly pounce on him, would she?
“Nngh… Where am I…? Oh my? Y-You're alive… Hyaang!”
Leia opened her eyes and looked around blankly, unable to grasp the situation. Then, seeing Guwon, her face filled with emotion as she tried to sit up… only to collapse back onto his body, trembling uncontrollably.
Come to think of it, he hadn't come once since Leia's Gumiho state had worn off.
But her hips had continued to squirm and shift slightly even after that, so the effects of Sex Boost were stacked incredibly high.
She was already a lower level than him, and with Sex Boost stacked this high, the simple stimulation from trying to sit up must have sent an immense wave of pleasure through her.
Should I finish one more time before pulling out?
Either way, whether he pulled out now or stayed still, Leia wouldn't be able to take it.
Guwon began to thrust his hips up and down, aiming to finish.
“Haah! This! Haa! Haa! Haaaaang!”
As Guwon came, Leia reached her climax once more.
“Haah, haah, s-so… this is… sex….”
Leia murmured, her face buried in Guwon's shoulder, her ears flushed red.
What was she talking about now, after they'd been having sex all night?
After finishing, Guwon finally pulled out. Leia, who had been panting for a while, finally sat up and looked at him.
“You're alive.”
The emotional look on her face was just as pure and innocent as when they had first met.
No, to be precise, her face was flushed with the afterglow of her orgasm, giving her a slightly sexier feel, but at least the bewitching violet gleam in her eyes was gone.
It was too early to be certain, but seeing her face, Guwon felt it was highly likely that last night's Gumiho state had not been of her own volition.
“Do you remember what happened last night?”
“No… The thing is… whenever I'm intimate with a man, I get so nervous that I lose consciousness….”
Leia's face turned beet red as she spoke, looking so ashamed that it couldn't possibly be an act.
And if he took her words at face value, her earlier murmur after climaxing made sense.
“S-So, did you find out why the men who slept with me died?”
As if by habit, Leia took Guwon's hand in both of hers, holding it before her chest as she looked at him, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
“I'm not sure if I should say I figured it out or not….”
Guwon explained what he had experienced last night.
“Yesterday, when I was pleasuring you, your demeanor suddenly changed and became very seductive. Not only that, but your eyes started to glow and you grew more tails. And my body wouldn't move properly, as if it were being controlled. When we kissed in that state, my life force—my vitality—started getting drained….”
“W-What?! Are you okay?!”
Leia's face grew paler and paler as Guwon spoke. When he mentioned his life force being drained, tears welled up in her eyes.
She began touching him all over with her slender hands, as if checking his body for injuries.
“Ah, yes. Because of my job's traits, I heal during sex. I was completely fine.”
“Th-Thank goodness.”
Hearing that, Leia smiled with a look of relief.
They say if you laugh while crying… no, a beautiful woman is beautiful no matter what.
“Ahem. And this is just a guess, but it seems the state wears off after you drain a certain amount of life force. The problem is, that 'certain amount' is probably more than enough to kill a normal person….”
“…I see. Thank you for telling me.”
Leia gave a sad smile and bowed her head to Guwon.
“Do you have any idea what might be causing it? A problem with your bloodline, perhaps…?”
“No. Not at all…. I'm an orphan….”
“Ah, I'm sorry.”
“It's alright…. I was taken in by the temple, and I've lived a happy life.”
An awkward silence fell between them for a while.
“S-So, what are you going to do now?” Guwon said, breaking the awkward silence.
Any suspicion that this side of Leia was an act had already vanished.
There's no way someone could look this pure and innocent unless it was their true personality. If this was an act, I'll never be able to trust anyone again.
“I suppose it will be impossible for me to sleep with a man from now on. But thanks to you, I'm glad I at least know the reason why. Thank you,” Leia said with a sad face.
To be this sad just because she can't have sex.
In this world, it was a necessary act for leveling up, but her current level was more than enough to live a normal life.
So why was she so sad? Did she have a man she liked?
The thought gave him pause, but Guwon spoke up anyway.
“Um, if you'd like, why don't you join us and we can investigate this more closely? With me, you can be sure I'll never die. If we keep at it, you might learn to control that state, or we might find the cause.”
His selfishness—the desire to continue his relationship with this woman—won out over any guilt.
Even if Leia had someone else in her heart, she was too good to let go of just like that.
“What?! Th-That….”
Leia looked quite hesitant at Guwon's words.
“By 'join us,' do you mean forming a party and exploring the dungeon?”
“Yes.”
Leia nodded, then clenched both fists in front of her chest with a determined expression.
Mmm. A woman this purely beautiful acting cute on top of it all. She's perfect.
“I see. I'll do it. No, please let me. I'll be in your care.”
“No, the pleasure is all mine.”
“However… would it be alright if I spent my days off at the temple? I'd like to continue helping out there as much as possible.”
“Ah, yes. Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Hearing his answer, Leia finally broke into a bright smile, free of any shadows, and threw her arms around him.
As she did, Leia's enormous breasts pressed directly against Guwon's entire chest.
Oof. This feeling. Truly magnificent. And from now on, a woman like this would be in his party.
“Kyaa!”
It seemed that in her emotional state, Leia hadn't realized it until now, but that sensation made her remember she was still naked.
She desperately tried to cover her breasts, which her slender hands couldn't possibly conceal, and hastily pulled away from Guwon, her face flushing.
“I-I'm going to go take a shower.”
Guwon watched Leia disappear into the bathroom, her face beet red, and smiled contentedly.
First Sara, then Diana, and now a beautiful older woman like her.
You lucky bastard. You're really living the high life since coming to this world, Guwon said to himself, looking down at his member.
Still standing stiff and strong, it was glistening with a mixture of her juices and his semen.
And then Guwon realized something. Mixed in with the glistening fluid were flecks of red.
He looked at the bed. A distinct red bloodstain marked the white sheets.
A v-virgin?!
But how? She said she'd slept with several men, didn't she?
Come to think of it, she did say she always lost consciousness when she was with a man.
On top of that, just kissing the Gumiho had drained his life force.
And crucially, even in her Gumiho state, Leia hadn't tried to insert his member herself.
He was the one who had put it in after he'd broken free from his paralysis.
So it wasn't just that she was tight like a virgin—she actually was a virgin?
Did the previous guys die from just a kiss or something, without even getting to have sex?
Wait, then how did she level up?
Don't tell me… the Gumiho levels up by draining life force?
That's another mystery to add to the list.
But despite the situation, Guwon could feel a smile spreading across his face.
A virgin. I took that beautiful woman's virginity.
“G-Guwon-ssi? I'm sorry, but could you bring me some clothes…?”
Until Leia, finished with her shower, poked her head out from the bathroom door to speak, Guwon just kept staring at his member and grinning foolishly.
*
“Oh, Guwon-ssi. Sara-ssi just stopped by. She said she'll be waiting in the dining hall.”
After Leia, Guwon also washed up in the bathroom. When he came out, Leia, who was sitting primly on the bed, spoke.
It seemed his conversation with Leia right after she woke up had taken quite a bit of time.
The time was indeed a little later than when Guwon usually went down to the dining hall.
“I see. Shall we go, then?”
I have to tell Sara and Diana the news that Leia-ssi has become our new companion. After that high-pressure interview yesterday, they'll be happy to hear we've recruited a healer, right?
When he went down to the dining hall with Leia, Sara and Diana were already seated.
Sara and Diana seemed to have spotted them approaching, as both were staring their way with dark expressions.
Seeing those faces, were they worried something had happened to me last night? Haha. Cute, aren't they? No need to worry, I'm perfectly fine.
Sure, he was a little sleepy from not getting any rest, but thanks to Healing Sex, he was definitely less tired than if he'd just pulled an all-nighter.
To dispel their worries, Guwon approached Sara and Diana with a bright smile.
“Morning, everyone. Sleep well?”
“No. But you seem to be in a good mood, Guwon,” Sara said.
“Mm. You look exceedingly pleased with yourself,” Diana added.
“Haha, do I? Well, I have some great news that'll cheer you all up! We have a new member in our party! This is Leia, who will be our healer from now on! A round of applause, everyone!”
“My name is Leia. I look forward to working with you.”
“…Hah?”
“…What did you just say?”
The moment Guwon finished speaking, those cold words escaped both of their lips simultaneously.
