Chapter 683: A Day in the Life
Chapter 683: A Day in the Life
The backlash from unleashing all my pent-up lust at once was immense.
We lost all reason, and without a moment to savor the afterglow of orgasm, we immediately began moving our hips wildly, devouring each other's bodies.
Yes. We did it without a single thought for the consequences.
And so, just like Silvia yesterday, Matilda was rendered completely immobile before dinner.
No, Matilda’s case was even worse than Silvia’s.
At least Silvia had been conscious. Matilda, on the other hand, completely lost her mind with her final orgasm and fainted.
Now, I do have an excuse.
Even if I can’t help the passive skills, I swear I didn’t use a single active one.
How was I supposed to know it would come to this? Matilda has a high level and isn't a special case like Silvia.
This was simply the inevitable result of me being a man of such outstanding stamina and technique.
You’re asking why I’m making such excuses now, after how many times I’ve been with Matilda?
Don't worry about such minor details. The important thing is that we made tremendous progress in removing her curse.
About the same level of progress as the last time we spent the night together.
…Well, we did go at it for about as long as if we’d spent the night together.
We ran straight to her room the moment we got back from the temple and have been at it until now.
I checked the clock in the corner of my vision and saw that it was already dinnertime.
It’s that late already? We really were going at it for a long time.
The moment I checked the time, the hunger I’d forgotten in my lust-crazed state suddenly crashed down on me.
Come to think of it, I skipped lunch. And the same went for Matilda, who had been with me since morning.
“…Hey. Matilda. You alive?”
“Haah… haah… haah…”
I called out to her just to check, but Matilda simply kept her eyes closed, letting out nothing but heated breaths.
At this rate… I guess waking her up to go to dinner together is impossible, right?
I reluctantly gave up on the idea and pulled myself out of her.
“Nngh…!”
Even unconscious, she seemed to feel it, letting out a sexy little whimper.
Hmm. The idea of forcing an unconscious Cardinal to feel pleasure isn’t half bad… No. What am I thinking after just knocking her out?
I quickly shook my head to clear the stray thoughts and summoned a water spirit to wash both my body and Matilda’s.
Now that I think about it, Matilda is still in her Cardinal’s robes. I should probably take them off for her, right?
No, not for any lecherous reason. It’s just that it would be uncomfortable for her to sleep like this.
I couldn’t get them off earlier because the structure was so complex, but that was only because I was in a rush to unleash my lust.
By carefully examining the structure and taking my time, I was somehow able to undress her by myself.
Though, I wasn't confident I could put them back on.
Anyway, once the Cardinal’s robes were off, Matilda was left wearing only stockings and a garter belt.
Dangerous. Even though I’ve had more than my fill, I’m starting to get excited again.
Since the curse is lifted faster the more I cum inside her, maybe just one more time right now…
That desire began to creep into my mind, but I quickly suppressed it and neatly removed the stockings and garter belt as well.
It’s great that my stamina became endless after becoming a Saint, but the fly in the ointment is that my sex drive became endless, too.
Since this was a job created by the Goddess’s messenger, it would have been nice if they’d properly addressed this little problem.
Then again, a version of me who could perfectly control his libido and only have sex when absolutely necessary wouldn’t really be me.
While deliberately thinking such nonsense to keep myself from focusing too much on Matilda’s beautiful body, I mechanically took out one of my simplest, best-quality cotton t-shirts from my inventory and draped it over her.
It would serve as a nightgown.
Matilda probably has her own nightgowns, but I don’t know where they are. And it’s not like I can rummage through her entire room to find them, right?
Besides, one of my shirts would be like a loose, super-short minidress on her. Perfect for sleeping in.
After dressing Matilda in my shirt, I tucked her properly back into bed, pulled the covers over her, and finally gave her a light kiss on the cheek before leaving the room.
“…You are out early, sir. There is still some time before dinner is ready.”
The moment I opened Matilda’s door and stepped out, Vanessa came walking down the hall and greeted me.
Judging by her words, she wasn’t here to get me but was just passing by.
In any case, seeing the look on Vanessa’s face, I couldn’t just let it go without a comment.
“Hey. Why do you look so surprised?”
“Am I making such an expression?”
“Yeah. Very much so.”
She’s playing dumb, which is so unlike her.
For someone who usually has a perfect poker face, even the slightest change is incredibly obvious.
“If that is the case, it is surely because I find this situation surprising.”
“Could you be a little more subtle about it?! I know I usually wait until you come to get me, but still!”
I’d been thinking it for a while, but it seems she’s the same.
No matter how much Vanessa acts like a faithful butler instead of one of my women when she’s on duty, waiting outside while I’m fooling around with another woman probably doesn’t feel very good.
And yet, the fact that she always comes herself instead of sending another maid just proves what a perfect butler she is.
“So, what is the occasion today?”
“I just felt bad for making you wait outside every time. So I came out a little early… Why do you look like you don’t believe me?”
Feeling a slight sense of unease at Vanessa’s question, I decided to answer her anyway.
Though, it was clear Vanessa didn’t believe a word of it.
I mean, yeah, it’s a lie, but would it kill you to just pretend to believe me?
“It is because I believe that when you are alone with one of your women, you are the type to focus on her above all others.”
“…Is that an insult or a compliment?”
“…A compliment.”
Why the pause before answering? This girl, she definitely meant that half as an insult.
I looked at Vanessa’s expressionless face with suspicion and decided to launch a counterattack.
“So, why is the great Vanessa so curious about why I came out early today? That’s new for you.”
“As I stated before, it is because I found it surprising.”
“Don’t lie. Since when were you the type to care about things like that? Are you jealous?”
“I am not.”
At my counterattack, Vanessa replied, as expected, half a beat too fast.
Yep. She’s jealous. The cute little thing.
“Heheheh. If you insist, then you and I can, right now…”
“I believe I just said that I was not. Did you not just leave Lady Matilda’s room? And you are already having such thoughts?”
“Khahaha. Don’t underestimate a Saint’s libido! If I put my mind to it, I can go for days without sleep… so stop looking at your master like he’s some pathetic loser! Butler!”
“My apologies. My true feelings slipped out.”
Hey! In moments like this, you’re supposed to deny it!
“Well, jokes aside. So? Are you really free right now? There isn’t much time until dinner, but if you have a moment, we can go to my room and…”
“Did you not just say the jokes were over?”
“No. I’m not joking. I’m being serious. I don’t think we’ll have much time otherwise.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean time for us to be together before we go to the Dungeon. As you’ve heard, we’re planning to go back in two days. And tomorrow’s schedule is packed, so there won’t be any time for… that.”
During the day, I have to go see Rachel around lunchtime, and in the afternoon, I have to stop by the palace to relieve Felicia’s lust.
Of course, if I go to the palace early and finish up with Felicia quickly, I might have a little free time before dinner, but I can’t be sure how long my conversation with Rachel will last.
I have to properly discuss what Diana told me before.
So, tomorrow will be even busier than today, not less.
“If you do not have time, then you could simply not do it, could you not?”
“But I don’t want to do that.”
Believe it or not, I’ve made a rule for myself to be with each of my women at least once during our breaks.
I plan to tackle the Dungeon even more seriously from now on, which means we’ll have less time to show affection, so it’s all the more important.
If I don’t pay attention to these little details, I have no idea what kind of emotional problems might pop up later.
Even if I try not to think about it, it’s an issue my girls are bound to be conscious of among themselves.
I may look like I live without a care in the world, but I actually put a lot of thought into these things.
What I’m saying is, a harem isn’t as easy as it looks.
“That sentiment alone is enough for me. And right now, I truly cannot spare the time for work-related reasons. I must finish some tasks in advance to prepare the carriage for your trip to the palace tomorrow.”
Sensing something in my tone, Vanessa stopped treating my words as a joke and gave me a proper answer.
“…Is that so.”
“Yes. My apologies.”
“No. If anything, I’m the one who should be sorry… I see. So I guess it’s not happening this time. But just so you know, just because we couldn’t, it doesn’t mean my affection for you is any less than for the others.”
As she apologized to me, I spoke to her with as much sincerity as I could muster.
“…I know. You also took me on a date. Now, if you will excuse me.”
After hearing my words, Vanessa replied and immediately turned and hurried away without even waiting for my goodbye.
Hey. Aren’t you walking a little too fast? And wait, didn’t you come from that direction? Why are you going back?
Honestly, she doesn’t even know how to be properly embarrassed.
Though, I suppose that’s what’s cute about her.
Anyway, after that, Vanessa came to fetch me for dinner right on time, as always, and I followed her down to the dining room.
“Oh my. Welcome back, Guwon.”
When I arrived, Leia, who must have returned to the mansion at some point, greeted me with a gentle smile.
“Yeah. You had a good trip? Are the kids all doing well?”
“Hehe. Yes. But did you come alone? Weren’t you with Cardinal Matilda?”
Leia naturally looped her arm through mine and looked around as she spoke.
Ah, right. Of course this would come up. I mean, it’s only natural.
“Yeah. About that…”
Looking into Leia’s pure, innocent eyes, I could only trail off with an embarrassed look on my face.
“You… After what you did to Silvia yesterday, you’ve done the same to Matilda?”
“Oof…”
Seeing my reaction, Diana, who was sitting at the table, seemed to guess what had happened and let out a sigh as she spoke.
Hey, don’t be like that. Poor Silvia’s taking unnecessary splash damage over there in the corner.
“After Silvia? To be precise, it was after knocking you out after Silvia that I went to Matilda…”
Silvia looked so pitiful trembling in the corner that I decided to correct Diana’s jab to try and reduce the damage she’d taken.
“Y-You don’t need to talk about things like that!”
“Auuughhh…”
But far from feeling any sympathy for a fellow sufferer, Silvia only took more damage, and as a bonus, Diana took some damage as well.
Diana shot up from her chair, flailing her arms, raised both fists above her head, and charged at me.
And without fail, she began her pitter-patter attack against my chest.
“You’re the one who brought it up… Alright, I’m sorry. I said I’m sorry. Hey. If you keep hitting me, I’ll use Leia’s chest as a shield, you hear?”
“G-Go on and try! Th-This one is not afraid at all!”
Your voice is trembling like crazy, you know.
Even after I made sure she understood that I love her chest too, regardless of size, she still reacts like this. Just how much of a trauma has it become for her?
In the end, unable to stop Diana’s pitter-patter attack, I simply endured it as I walked to the table and sat down.
