Chapter 73: The Beastkin Priestess
Chapter 73: The Beastkin Priestess
Diana was aroused by Guwon’s penis, upon which he had activated Saint’s Touch, and Guwon, in turn, was aroused by her reaction.
In fact, Diana was so overwhelmed with pleasure that she fainted, only to be jolted awake moments later by the next wave of ecstasy—a cycle that repeated itself several times.
The next morning, after a session of lovemaking that was even more intense than usual.
As always, Guwon woke up early.
And as expected, Diana was still unconscious, sprawled on top of him.
She’s… she’s not dead, is she?
Honestly, even I had to admit that last night might have been a bit much. I felt it wouldn’t have been the least bit surprising if Diana had actually died from the exertion.
I hurriedly checked on her.
Phew. Thankfully, she didn’t seem to be dead.
Her body rose and fell gently with each breath.
I reached out a hand, brushing aside her beautiful silver hair to get a glimpse of her face.
…What a mess.
That was the only way to describe it.
Diana’s pretty face was a disaster, marred by the dried streaks of tears, snot, and drool.
In this state, even the world-renowned beauty of Diana was bound to lose its luster.
I took a towel and a waterskin from my inventory, dampened the cloth, and began to gently wipe her face.
I had Diana’s magic for water, but I’d packed a few extra waterskins just in case. I never thought I’d be using one like this.
“Ngh… mmm…”
As if tickled, Diana tried to avoid the towel by rubbing her cheek against my chest, but I held her head steady and cleaned her face thoroughly.
I thought touching her face might wake her, but surprisingly, she remained fast asleep.
Well, she must have been exhausted last night.
I was already dreading the moment I’d have to pull my penis, which was still sheathed inside her, out.
And so, I simply watched over Diana, letting her rest for as long as possible without waking her.
But we couldn’t stay like this forever.
Nearly an hour had passed since I’d woken up, and Diana still showed no signs of stirring.
Is it time to wake her up?
“Diana. Wake up. Diana.”
“Ngh, mmm.”
As I gently shook her, Diana’s eyes slowly fluttered open.
She blinked her large eyes a few times, trying to fully regain consciousness. Even so, her body remained completely limp, not moving an inch.
“Diana? Are you okay?”
“…Do I look like I would be okay to you?” Diana asked, her voice uncharacteristically languid.
I had expected another long lecture, but it seemed she didn’t even have the energy for that right now.
“S-Sorry. Can you move?”
“Mm… No. I don’t think so.”
It looked like she tried to move her arm, but it merely twitched, completely drained of strength.
So even Healing Sex wasn’t enough to fully recover from this.
No, wait. Her muscles were weak from pleasure, so maybe this had nothing to do with Healing Sex?
“I-I’ll wash you up, for now.”
“Mm. If you would… Hieut-eung!”
The moment I lifted Diana’s body to pull myself out, she convulsed violently as a gush of mixed fluids erupted from between her legs like a fountain.
“D-Diana?!”
A thin line of drool trickled from the corner of her mouth as she passed out again.
“B-Be careful. The afterglow is still… Heut! Be gentle, will you!”
Diana came to again while I was washing her in the bathroom.
It seemed the lingering sensations of her climax hadn’t faded yet; her limp body trembled with a light spasm every time my hand brushed against her skin.
“Haah, haah… F-From now on, that is absolutely forbidden.”
“R-Right.”
I knew exactly what ‘that’ was without her having to say it.
It was definitely too much.
Even if Diana hadn’t forbidden it, I probably wouldn’t be able to use it unless absolutely necessary.
At the very least, I wouldn’t be able to use it again until I could turn the skill off at will, just like toggling skills in the system.
…Though, once I can turn it off, using it for a bit of fun now and then might be okay.
“Are you all right? Should we just rest today?” I asked worriedly. Even after being washed, Diana was still limp and unable to support herself.
“No, I should be fine after a little while. Let us go.”
But it seemed Diana didn’t want to be the reason for delaying the party’s schedule.
With her firm insistence on going down to the dining hall, I ended up carrying her down on my back.
“G-Guwon?! Why are you carrying Diana on your back?” Sara, who was already at the table, asked in a shocked voice.
Seeing her alone, it seemed Leia hadn’t arrived yet.
“H-Hmph. This man simply lost his reason last night and was a bit too… vigorous.”
For some reason, Diana’s voice was a little higher-pitched than usual as she spoke.
Does she have no shame? How can she say something like that so brazenly out here?
“I-Is that true?”
“Uh, um? Well…”
To be honest, I think Diana ended up like this more because of the skill than because I went on for too long.
It’s not like Sara or Diana hadn’t gone for that long before.
“Hmph!”
But Sara’s expression was one of shock.
Was she thinking that I put more effort into leveling up with Diana than with her?
Sara quickly wiped the shocked look from her face and glared at me, as if to say she wouldn’t be outdone.
Hey, you don’t have to get so mad. I stayed up all night with you too, making sure to fill you up twice.
“I guess it must have been that good, then?”
“Hmph. It cannot be helped. When one falls for this one’s charms…”
“I was learning a new way to use a skill and made a mistake,” I cut in, interrupting Diana’s boastful tone.
Confidence is great and all, but read the room.
Do you want to pour oil on a fire?
“Learning a new way to use a skill?”
“Yeah. Diana was teaching me yesterday, and it seems the way I use my skills is different from how they’re used here. I was learning a few things and accidentally used Saint’s Touch on my penis…”
“I-I see.”
Hearing my explanation, Sara’s expression shifted to a different kind of horror, and her body trembled.
Was she imagining just how powerful that would be?
In any case, she seemed to understand that I wasn’t dedicating all my passion and energy solely to leveling up Diana.
Sara’s cold expression softened.
“Are you okay, Diana?”
“…Hmph.”
As I gently set Diana down in a chair, she turned her head away with a slightly sulky look on her face.
What’s with her all of a sudden?
Surely she wasn’t pouting just because I cut her off when she was trying to brag, right?
“Good morning.”
Before I could voice my question, Leia approached as if on cue.
The sight of her walking over, clutching her short staff so tightly that it was nestled between her large breasts, was more than enough to stir a man’s primal instincts.
“Ahem. My arms will not lift, so I cannot order. Would you be so kind as to do it for me?” Diana said, poking me in the side as I was gawking at Leia.
“Oh my, did something happen?”
“Mmm?! Well, last night this man was so captivated by my charms that things became quite… intense.”
Perhaps thinking I would cut her off again, Diana glanced at me cautiously as she spoke.
I didn’t really feel the need to.
Sara’s misunderstanding was cleared up. And it wasn’t entirely untrue that I’d been captivated by Diana’s charms and went at it all night.
“Oh my. You two seem to be getting along well.”
“Mmm! W-Well, I suppose we are!”
Emboldened by my silence, Diana didn’t deny Leia’s comment and seemed quite pleased with herself.
While we ate, I thought about our plans for the day.
Should we just go to the dungeon again, like yesterday?
Leia’s level was probably still too low for us to spend several days hunting in the dungeon to raise our job levels.
Besides, Leia had joined the party with the goal of curing her Gumiho transformation. If we just went hunting in the dungeon for days without me spending time with her alone, she wouldn’t feel good about it. Knowing her personality, she wouldn’t show it, but still.
When I brought this up, Leia’s response was unexpected.
“Um… what is the recommended level for the area we’ve been going to?”
“Huh? Let’s see… around the 30s? Is that right?”
“Mm. The recommended level for a Werewolf is considered to be around 35,” Diana confirmed.
“In that case, I think I’ll be fine.”
“What? But…”
“I’m fine. That is… my level went up quite a bit after last time with you, Guwon.”
Come to think of it, I hadn’t checked Leia’s level since we were together.
I quickly used Analyze to check her level.
29.
The level displayed by the skill was indeed 29.
It went up by 11? In just one day?
Thinking about it, it didn’t seem entirely impossible.
That night, I hadn’t slept at all, literally fucking and cumming all night long.
“But are you sure? You didn’t join the party just to explore the dungeon.”
“It’s alright. Now that I’m a member of the party, your goals are my goals. And my other goal isn’t something that can be solved by rushing anyway. Let’s take our time.”
Leia offered this angelic statement with a gentle smile.
What kind of environment does a person have to grow up in to become like this?
I doubt the High Priestess, who she described as being like a mother, could have raised her to be this way.
It must just be her nature. A born angel.
Leia was so radiant it was hard to look directly at her.
“Argh! The halo… it’s blinding!”
“Oh my. Hehe. You’re too much, Guwon. Such a kidder.”
At my exaggerated reaction, Leia giggled softly and gently touched my chest with one hand.
Argh. A direct hit to the heart.
If I die like this, I’ll have no regrets in my life!
“A-Ahem. So, are we planning to spend a few days in the dungeon starting today?” Sara broke the sweet atmosphere between me and Leia with a single cough.
“Yeah. If Leia is okay with it.”
“Yes. I’m fine,” Leia replied immediately with a soft smile as I looked at her.
“Then we must prepare again! There is no time. Stop dawdling and finish your meals!”
“No, we still have the preparations from last time, so I don’t think we need much else. We just need to stock up on consumables, and that should be enough.”
“What nonsense is this! How can you be so careless when going into the dungeon! We must take our time and meticulously inspect our supplies.”
I suppose she had a point.
The party quickly ordered their meals.
“Now, then. On your back.”
“What? Already?”
Her limbs must have regained their strength by now, but as soon as she finished eating, Diana made her demand.
“Have you already forgotten your promise?”
Ah, right.
I did promise to carry her whenever she wanted. I guess I have no choice.
“Let’s get going then.”
As I lifted Diana onto my back, Sara, who had been watching quietly, took my arm.
She held it in a way that was somewhere between linking arms and just holding on, urging me forward.
“Hehe.”
Leia watched us with a warm smile, following quietly a step behind the group.
And so, the party set out to check their supplies for the expedition.
However, upon inspection, it turned out to be just as I’d said. Most of the supplies we had prepared last time were still good to go.
In the end, we just picked up some food, salt, and a few other consumables before heading straight down into the dungeon.
