Chapter 680: Daily Life
After offering a prayer to the Goddess, we said our goodbyes to High Priestess Sophia and left the temple.
We rejoined Vanessa, who was still waiting in the driver’s seat in an unmoving posture, and headed for the mansion in the carriage.
Unlike the ride here, it was just Matilda and me inside.
Perhaps thinking it would be awkward to sit facing each other in this situation, or perhaps deciding she no longer needed to hold back her pink mode, Matilda naturally sat down to my right.
And despite there being plenty of room, she pressed her hip firmly against mine.
Our hips and thighs were perfectly flush, and I could feel her soft body through my pants.
“…”
I met Matilda’s affectionate, silent gaze and raised my right hand, gently stroking her hair as if to brush it back.
“Mm… Hehe.”
My hand must have tickled her as it brushed past her ear, because Matilda let out a small, breathy sound and giggled shyly.
I gave her a gentle smile, and the hand that had been stroking her hair began to slowly trace its way down, caressing her body.
Using just the tip of my middle finger, I lightly traced the beautiful line of her neck, hidden by her hair, and when I reached her right shoulder, I rested all five fingers on it and gently swept downwards.
The sensation of my fingers, even through her clothes, must have sent a pleasant shiver through her. Matilda lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.
“Ahh…”
As my hand moved down her outer arm, naturally enveloping it, a soft sigh escaped her lips.
She lifted her head again to meet my eyes, then tilted her head slightly and slowly brought her face closer to mine.
The very instant the edge of my lips brushed against hers, I lowered my head and pressed my forehead to hers, stopping her from coming any closer.
“…Mmm? Darling…?”
She must not have expected me to stop the kiss. Matilda questioned me in a cute tone, quite unlike her usual self.
Even from this proximity, so close our eyes couldn't focus, I could see her pupils were glazed over in a daze.
It seemed that somewhere along the way, she had slipped into her pink mode.
Then again, she usually changed with just a small act of kindness from me. Perhaps it would have been stranger if she hadn’t changed after I showed her such affection.
But even seeing Matilda’s cute reaction, I had no intention of taking things any further.
If we were to kiss properly now, Matilda, in her pink mode, would definitely be set ablaze. She’d be even more susceptible, her mind already filled with thoughts of focusing on breaking her curse as soon as we returned to the mansion.
And if she came on to me like that, I wasn't confident I could control myself either.
Besides, there was no one else in the carriage to stop her.
And if we did something like that in here, even if we closed the window to the driver’s seat, there was no way Vanessa wouldn't notice.
Even if by some miracle she didn't find out, she’d know the moment we stepped out of the carriage.
I’d already been doing things that made me feel sorry toward Vanessa since last night; I couldn't cause another incident.
So, to prevent that from happening, I stopped the kiss. Instead, I moved the right hand that was holding her arm down and wrapped it around her waist.
“Ah…!”
When I gently pulled her slender waist toward me, Matilda’s body went limp, and she leaned softly against me.
“The rest is for when we get to the mansion. Alright?”
“Yess… If that is what you wish…”
When she’s in her pink mode, Matilda accepts anything I say.
This time was no different. Though she wore a slightly disappointed expression, she accepted my proposal.
Still, she seemed to find it a shame. She puckered her lips as if trying to savor the lingering scent of my own, which had brushed against hers just a moment ago.
Seeing that, I reflexively lifted her chin with my left hand to kiss her.
“Darling…?”
“Hm? Ah, no. It’s nothing.”
Fortunately, I regained my senses before our lips met. I mumbled an excuse and lowered my left hand.
This is dangerous. The pink mode is difficult enough to handle in a boisterous atmosphere, but when she enters it in a quiet setting like this, its destructive power is immense.
But that wasn't the only thing shaking my resolve.
“Ahn…!”
As I lowered the left hand that had lifted her chin, it unwittingly brushed against the tip of her breast.
And by chance, it seemed to have grazed the most sensitive part. A sweet moan reflexively escaped Matilda’s lips.
No. It wasn't on purpose. I swear it wasn't.
I was just lowering my hand without thinking, but her breasts are so large. I just happened to touch them.
And the fact that I happened to touch the most sensitive part was also a coincidence, simply because it was the part that jutted out the most.
It was an accident, but… hearing Matilda’s sweet voice, my reason began to weaken.
Just a light brush over her clothes made her let out a sound like that. If I were to spread my hand and squeeze that large breast right now, what kind of sound would she make?
Just a light brush over her clothes felt like my fingers were sinking into the soft texture of her breast. If I were to spread my hand and squeeze that large breast right now, what kind of ecstatic sensation would spread through my palm?
It was as if a devil was whispering in my ear.
“Darling…”
And at the same time, I heard an angel's voice tickling my ear.
This angel’s voice wasn't my imagination; it was real.
Tearing my eyes away from her prominent chest, I looked into her eyes again. Matilda was wearing a benevolent expression, as if to say it was okay for me to do whatever I wanted.
After giving me a soft smile, she took my hand, which was hovering near her chest, and slowly guided it toward her breast.
And finally, my five fingers sank into her soft flesh through the sacred cardinal’s robes.
“Aargh! No, no, no, no, no!”
The moment I felt my fingertips sink into her breast, I hastily pulled my hand away.
Any more than this was truly dangerous.
If I properly touched her, I would really lose my mind and do it right here.
Then, of course, Vanessa would know what we were doing, leading to a conclusion where not only Vanessa but Matilda, too, would be unhappy.
As a messenger of the Goddess, I couldn't make a Cardinal break her priestly vows.
To prevent my left hand from committing any more transgressions, I clasped Matilda’s right hand, lacing our fingers together tightly, and stared straight ahead.
Just looking at Matilda felt like it would put me in danger.
Whether she knew what was going on in my mind or not, Matilda pressed her body even closer to mine.
Even without turning my head, I could feel her gaze fixed on my face so intensely it almost hurt.
Damn it. It wasn't this bad a moment ago, but now even the sensation from the hand wrapped around her waist seemed to be stoking my lust.
“We have arrived.”
How much time had passed as I sat frozen, staring straight ahead while feeling Matilda’s intense gaze?
At the end of that torturous wait, I finally heard Vanessa’s voice announcing our arrival.
“Thanks, Vanessa. We’ll head in first.”
I feigned composure as best I could and stepped out of the carriage.
But no matter how calm I tried to act, I couldn't stop my movements from quickening on their own.
With Matilda held close to my side, my pace grew faster and faster as I walked from the carriage to my room, until by the time I reached the door, I was practically running.
“Ahh… Darling… Mmm…”
The moment we were inside, we kissed each other fiercely, neither of us waiting for the other.
Feeling Matilda’s tongue push into my mouth and wrap around mine, it seemed I wasn't the only one who had been holding back.
Without breaking our kiss, we hastily began to strip each other’s clothes.
But unlike me, who was naked in an instant, Matilda’s cardinal robes were quite complex and layered, making them difficult to remove.
In my haste, I felt the urge to just rip the robes off, but I still had enough reason left to barely stop myself.
“Hah… Darling, you’re already so…”
Matilda, having stripped me bare first, reached for my groin.
She gently caressed the shaft of my rigid member with her palm.
The stimulation sent a jolt through me, and I lost all thought of taking off her clothes.
Instead, I reached out over her robes and squeezed the large breasts I had been dying to touch since we were in the carriage, gripping them so hard it felt like they might burst.
“Aahng…!”
Even though I was touching her through her clothes, it felt as if my fingers were sinking in and melting into her.
As the ecstatic sensation filled my hand, a cry of pleasure burst from Matilda’s lips.
And her hand, which had been caressing the base of my Dick, reflexively wrapped around it and squeezed tight.
Oops, I got too excited and didn't control my strength. I must have squeezed too hard.
“Ah, sorry. Did that hurt?”
“Nn. No. Not at all.”
At my reaction, I reflexively let go of her breast. Matilda just smiled sweetly and pressed herself closer, making my hand touch her breast again.
She then relaxed her grip on my Dick and once again began to gently stroke it with her palm.
Even though she was a Holy Knight with a higher level than me, that area was more delicate than others; it must have hurt quite a bit to be squeezed so tightly.
But in her pink mode, Matilda was completely devoted, not seeming to mind at all.
Thankful, I grabbed her soft buttock with one hand and pulled her body flush against mine.
The tip of my Dick pressed against her abdomen, beginning to soak her cardinal robes with pre-cum, but she didn't seem to mind that either.
On the contrary, she gently cupped my Dick and began to move it in circles, as if rubbing the tip against her own stomach.
To be honest, I’d never really had a fetish for clerical vestments, but soiling the sacred cardinal’s robes like this gave me a strange sense of depravity.
Savoring the feeling of her abdomen against the tip of my Dick, I began to move the hand that was on her breast.
This time, I was careful not to use too much force. I didn't even touch her breast directly, just hovered around the area.
From her armpit to her side, to the valley between her breasts.
“Aht… Haah… Nn… Uuht…”
As I teased her, my fingers brushing along the round lines of her breasts but carefully avoiding touching them directly, Matilda let out frustrated, breathy moans.
But even in her frustration, her arousal was clearly building, her breaths growing heavier and more ragged.
“Aahng… Darling… Huut!”
As time passed and my hand continued to play around her breasts without touching them, she must have grown desperate. Matilda finally called out to me in a pleading voice and pressed her chest firmly against mine.
But even then, I didn't touch her breasts. Instead, I gave the buttock I was holding a gentle squeeze.
Matilda, who had been focusing all her attention on her upper body, seemed startled by the unexpected pleasure from below. Her hips pulled back slightly as her body trembled.
But despite that pleasure, it seemed she hadn't given up on the pleasure of her breasts.
Looking down at her chest, which was now pressed even more tightly against me thanks to her pulling her hips back, Matilda began to slowly rotate her upper body, as if to say, If you won't touch me, I'll have to get my pleasure like this.
