Chapter 638: Guwon, the Man of Pure Love
Chapter 638: Guwon, the Man of Pure Love
As if she couldn’t waste a single second, Leia instantly pulled my body into her arms and held me tight.
Her action caused Diana, who had been about to unleash her fury upon me, to lose her target and be left simmering with unspent anger.
She looked almost pitiful as she opened and closed her mouth, stuttering soundlessly.
“…Miss Leia? This one has something to discuss with that man for a moment…”
“No!”
Diana often shows her emotional side to me, but at her core, she’s a rational person.
Well, I heard she was spouting nonsense about a coup d'état when Felicia kidnapped me, but that was a special case.
In any case, the rational Diana, though incensed by my actions, tried to negotiate with Leia calmly instead of directing her anger at her.
It was completely ineffective, however, against the now-irrational Leia.
As if declaring she would never let me be taken, Leia tightened her grip on me and turned her back completely to Diana.
Was this the first time I’d ever seen Leia lose her composure like this?
Diana, too, seemed at a loss for words at Leia’s behavior, choosing her next words carefully with a troubled expression.
“Miss Leia. I’m not trying to take him away. Just a brief conversation…”
“No! You’re going to scold my dear Guwon, aren’t you?!”
“……”
“Kids this age all grow up playing pranks like this!”
But even those carefully chosen words were useless against the adamant Leia.
Leia. If you ever have kids, you’re definitely going to be an overprotective mother.
…Don’t tell me I’m going to get pushed aside for our kids in the future, too?
Well, that’s a long way off. I’ll think about that later.
For now, her actions weren’t detrimental to me—in fact, they were incredibly beneficial—so I decided to just watch the situation unfold.
Go, Leia! You can do it, Leia!
I was even cheering her on in my head.
“Miss Leia, please listen. That man’s body may have gotten smaller, but his mental age has not.”
“Wh-What?! B-But…”
Only after Diana said that did a sliver of reason seem to return to Leia. She loosened her hold on me slightly and met my gaze.
This is bad. At this rate, I’ll be served up to Diana on a silver platter.
“Big sister Leia…?”
I put on my most innocent and pure expression, tilting my head as I looked at Leia with eyes that feigned complete confusion.
The effect was superb.
“Haaah!”
With a look like her heart had been shot by an arrow all over again, Leia hugged me tightly once more.
Leia’s chest… so soft and warm. I like it.
“You! Stop messing around!”
Of course, Diana, watching this, couldn’t contain her anger.
But her outburst was immediately suppressed by Super Leia.
“Miss Diana! How could you say such a thing!”
“B-But, Miss Leia!” Diana protested with an aggrieved expression as Leia scolded her.
Amazing. Leia is actually intimidating Diana.
Then again, if that angel were to scold anyone with such an expression, they’d probably react the same way.
“How can you still say that after seeing this face?!” Leia said, holding me out in front of Diana with a look that said, How could you?
Uh, Leia? I think Diana can. Aren’t you forgetting that she’s the one who did this to me?
But our angel believed in my cuteness this much.
And it’s a man’s job to live up to those expectations.
“Big sister Diana…”
As I acted cute again, a vein popped on Diana’s forehead and her expression twisted in fury.
Danger! Leia, help me! It’s not working on Diana!
“Miss Diana!”
Thankfully, our angel was quick to sense my crisis. She pulled me into her arms and shielded me before Diana could say another word.
“Urgh! Then at least just his clothes! Just let me lift his clothes a little!”
“Wh-What? His clothes?”
But Diana, unwilling to back down, made the strange request.
What is she talking about now?
Leia was naturally dumbfounded by her words, but Diana was dead serious.
“I need to confirm if it’s big enough to mock my chest!”
“…N-No, you can’t!”
Of course, our angel tried to stop Diana.
Angel, did you just hesitate for a second there?
“Just a little! I just need to lift it a tiny bit to check!”
Hey, Diana. Do you realize how much of a pervert you sound like right now? The dignity of the Archmage is hitting rock bottom.
You should limit your perverted tastes to just exhibitionism.
“I-I said no…”
The problem, however, was that Leia seemed to be slowly getting persuaded by that perverted argument.
The way our angel’s gaze was turning more and more dangerous as she looked at me was definitely not just my imagination.
“Big sister… I’m scared…”
Left with no choice, I decided to use my secret technique one more time.
“Hah! Y-Yes! Don’t you worry, your big sister will protect you!”
Hmph. How’s that?
My plan a success, I turned my head slightly to flash Diana a victor’s smile.
Diana’s expression contorted for a moment, then her eyes, like a hawk spotting its prey, locked onto my lower body.
Hey, Diana. You’re looking like a seriously dangerous person right now.
Worse, Diana’s dangerous expression didn’t stop there. She suddenly broke into a deep, dark smile.
Huh? Wait a minute… Why do I suddenly feel a chill…?
The moment I had that thought, my vision began to swim once again.
Th-This feeling… don’t tell me…!
A few seconds later, the scene had changed to that of a large man clinging to an angel’s chest, wearing a disgustingly cute expression.
And he was wearing nothing on his lower half.
“Shitfuckdammit!”
The moment I realized it, I became a gust of wind.
Go, my agility! This is the moment I chose the Assassin path for!
Fortunately, I managed to pull on my pants before the people around us could register what I looked like.
That was close. Seriously, that was close. I, the Saint, was almost arrested for public indecency!
No matter how much more sexually tolerant this world was compared to my original one, it wasn’t a world where you could just walk around naked outside!
“Hey! Diana! I know you’re upset, but still! Your husband…!”
Did you want to see your husband get arrested for a crime like that?!
Forgetting everything I had just done to Diana, I was about to shout just that.
But someone else moved even faster than I did.
“Miss Diana.”
It was Leia.
Wearing a serious expression I had never seen before, Leia placed a hand on Diana’s shoulder and began to exert a silent pressure.
“I-I just turned him back to normal… I-It couldn’t be helped! My mana…! We have to go to the dungeon…! Ugh… Youuuu…”
Crushed by the immense pressure, Diana finally broke, looking at me with a half-sobbing gaze as she pleaded for help.
I wanted to say something about the dignity of the Archmage, but this time, I had no choice but to understand.
Yeah. If the angel was pressuring me like that, I would have cried too. I’m confident I could cry in one second. The fact that Diana held out this long is amazing. As expected of the Archmage.
“Leia.”
At this point, I was starting to feel genuinely sorry for Diana, so I spoke up to help her and persuade Leia.
“Mr. Guwon. I’m sorry. Could you talk to me later? I have something serious to discuss with Miss Diana right now.”
“Yes. Take all the time you need…”
“You!”
“No, I mean, Leia. The magic that changes a person’s form consumes a huge amount of mana. We’re about to go to the dungeon, and our party’s last line of defense is ultimately Diana’s magic, and if Diana’s mana is low, it’ll be just like that time I was shipwrecked. You know?”
I was almost overwhelmed by Leia’s aura for a moment, but I barely managed to pull myself together and persuade her.
Though for someone who’d pulled himself together, I was rambling quite a bit.
In any case, my rambling words seemed to be enough to convince Leia.
Mentioning my shipwreck at the end was particularly effective.
“…Yes. You’re right. I’m so sorry. What was I thinking just now…? Miss Diana. I’m truly sorry.”
Leia finally regained her senses and returned to her usual angel mode, bowing her head deeply to Diana with an expression of profound apology.
“Ah, um. It’s fine. This one was not particularly surprised. It is only natural for people to lose their reason from time to time. This one understands completely.”
Of course, Diana accepted Leia’s apology like a mature adult.
Even though every word she said was a complete lie.
“Hah. See? This all would have been fine if you had just apologized to Diana from the start, Guwon. You just had to go and provoke her even more.”
Only after the situation was resolved did Sara chime in to chide me.
She hadn’t said a single word until now.
“Then you should have jumped in and said so.”
“Idiot. How was I supposed to talk to Leia when she was like that?”
…So you were scared of Leia too. To think she could even make the Hero flinch. I guess that’s the power of an angel.
Well, her behavior just now was less like an angel and more like a common perverted shota… ahem! Ahem!
Leia just has a personality that loves taking care of children!
And since I, the person she really likes, had transformed into the perfect age for her to dote on, it just created an intense synergistic effect. That’s all. Yup.
…Right?
“Anyway, Diana. I’m sorry. What I really wanted to say is that breast size doesn’t matter. Your modest and promising chest, Silvia’s flat and wide chest—I love all breasts equally!”
“You. Do you realize how much of a pervert you sound right now?”
Not as much as you, who was just trying to check the size of my junk when I was in kid mode.
The thought crossed my mind, but saying it now would be like picking another fight, so I decided to be the bigger person and hold my tongue.
“What’s wrong with a man being a little perverted! I’ll say it as many times as it takes! I love all of your breasts, regardless of their size!”
“I get it, I get it. Stop. This one was also a bit childish. I apologize.”
As I shouted, Diana relented with a sigh and snapped her fingers.
Simultaneously, the sounds of conversation began to filter in from our surroundings.
Only then did I realize that we hadn’t been hearing any ambient noise until now.
Now that I think about it, that makes sense. There’s no way our famous party could be sitting in a café—with me even flashing my lower half for a moment—and not attract any attention.
Diana had cast a spell. When did she even…?
It seems that even when she appears emotional, the Archmage is still the Archmage.
I couldn’t help but be impressed by the depth of her foresight.
“Yes. Can I help you with your order?”
“Mm. Give me one chocolate cake.”
And to the waitress who approached, Diana confidently ordered a chocolate cake.
It seemed she was still determined to make her chest grow.
Where did she get the confidence that all that fat would go straight to her chest… well, I guess it’s confidence born from already knowing her future self.
In any case, despite the little commotion, we spent an elegant time at the café until our equipment check was complete.
“…So, you.”
“Hm?”
“When you were a kid… did you really have something down there big enough to mock my chest?”
…So you really were bothered by it, huh?
Whispering a question like that.
Well, 99% of the reason she was whispering was probably because of Leia.
“If you want, I can transform in bed later and you can check for yourself. Or should we just have a go in that state? Healing Sex would let me maintain the form, right?”
“A-As if I would do such a thing! This one is not a pervert…!”
“What are you two whispering about over there?”
“N-No! It’s nothing!”
“I-It’s nothing at all!”
