Chapter 761: The Angel's Anger?
Chapter 761: The Angel's Anger?
“Sob, sob. I’m ruined. I’ll never be able to get married now.”
The next morning.
To get a little revenge for what happened last night, I decided to start teasing her as soon as I woke up.
Well, the revenge was just a bonus. I really just wanted to see my angel’s flustered face.
Because even her flustered face is utterly charming.
“What? Guwon, are you not going to marry me?”
And just as I’d hoped, my angel wore a troubled expression upon hearing my words.
However, it was for a completely different reason than I had expected.
“Should we do it right now?!”
Gasp. I never imagined she’d counter like that. There’s truly no one like my angel!
I trembled all over, newly reminded of just how angelic she was.
“Oh my, huhu. No, thank you.”
And then, looking at me, my angel chuckled and flatly rejected my proposal.
…Huh? M-My angel?
“Ah, ahh! A proposal like this! I meant I don’t like a proposal with no atmosphere! Not that I don’t want to get married! So please don’t make that face! Here, h-here…! Please calm down.”
I must have been making a face I’d never made before.
Leia, who had answered so playfully, saw my expression and immediately panicked, her hands, ears, and tail flapping about. She grabbed my hand, pressed it to her large breasts, and had me squeeze them in a frantic attempt to calm me down.
…To think my angel would use her own breasts in such a way.
No, to think she believed this would actually calm me down in this situation. Don’t you think you’re taking me a little for granted?
Well, I did calm down. Phew. So healing.
“Ahng! Nngh!”
“…You really surprised me. I was so shocked that even my son died for a moment.”
I performed CPR on my son, who had briefly passed away, by freely groping her breasts, which were more than an armful.
For the record, as usual, my son was currently inside Leia.
For him to lose his strength while inside Leia… that’s a huge deal.
“I-I’m sorry. Sh-shall I help?”
As if she knew, Leia blushed as she spoke, then intentionally squeezed her nether regions, helping my son grow big and strong again.
My angel. Aren't you being a little too lewd?
Thanks to you, though, my son has been completely resurrected.
“But I see. So a proposal is important to you too, Leia.”
“I’m a woman, too, you know. Of course I long for a wonderful proposal. Mmm. I might even feel more strongly about it than others. But it’s okay. Because I have faith. I know that you, Guwon, will surely give me a wonderful proposal.”
“…I feel like you’re subtly raising the bar right now.”
This definitely isn’t just my imagination, is it?
“Huhu. Please think hard about it. I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Yes. I’ll do my best.”
Yep. Definitely not my imagination.
Well, even an angel is still a woman. It’s only natural for her to have romantic dreams about a proposal.
But still. Does this mean that no matter what our relationship is, I could still get shot down if I mess up the proposal?
For some reason, I started to feel even more nervous.
Not that I’m planning to propose right this second, of course.
“By the way, you’re up really early today too, Leia.”
In any case, I brought our playful conversation to a close and decided to change the subject.
In truth, it wasn’t just Leia; I had also woken up earlier than usual. It was actually closer to dawn than morning.
“Yeees. A little…”
At my words, Leia answered vaguely with a troubled expression.
Yep. That’s a normal reaction. To be honest, even as I said it, I felt it was a bit much.
And for good reason, since we were still in the bathtub.
Last night, we ended up making love in the tub until the very end, then fell asleep right there.
In the meantime, the bubbles that had filled the tub had all disappeared, revealing our wet bodies and making it feel a little chilly.
Well, since Healing Sex was active the whole time, there was no chance of us catching a cold.
“…First, shall we go to bed?”
“Ah, no! That’s… shouldn’t we wash ourselves again first?”
“Is that all?”
Just because the bubbles were gone didn’t mean they disappeared without a trace, so it was better to wash ourselves properly again, right?
I’d said it with that in mind, but Leia asked back with a slightly playful smile, as if she knew everything.
Th-this reaction… could it be…?
“U-uh…?”
“It’s okay. I knew from the moment you came into the room.”
…Of course she did.
It seemed Leia had noticed everything, even the fact that I had intentionally stayed in the bathtub all night.
It was obvious, now that I thought about it.
My angel could smell another woman’s scent on me even after I’d washed. There was no way she wouldn’t have smelled Elder Sister Rachel, who had been in the bed right before I entered the room.
“No. Let’s not go to the bed anyway. Rachel’s scent might mix with yours, which I’ve just covered myself in.”
Even as I thought that, I refused Leia’s suggestion.
Saying it’s okay? No way.
Of course, she hadn’t seemed angry even while she was punishing me last night, but she had still admitted with her own mouth that she was jealous.
Just because she was saying it was okay now, it would be foolish to take her at her word and go to the bed.
It wasn’t that I disliked Rachel’s scent, but the woman in front of me right now was Leia, not Rachel.
When you’re alone with someone, you have to give your all to the woman right in front of you.
It was a lesson I’d learned from maintaining a harem for a not-insignificant amount of time.
“Oh my, mmm… Shall we wash together first?”
Looking at me, Leia blushed with an expression that wasn’t displeased. But at the same time, she trailed off vaguely, as if she still had something more to say, before offering a compromise.
So Leia and I filled the tub with bubbles once more and washed each other’s bodies.
After performing the resurrection ritual for my son inside her, as we began to caress each other again, I couldn’t help but start to get in the mood.
“Mmm…”
On top of that, for some reason, Leia kept sneaking glances at my face while washing my thing with far more care than necessary.
No, could you even call this washing? Anyone could see she was trying to arouse me, right?
Her hand was moving practically at the level of a handjob.
“Leia. Before we wash…”
“Ah, no you don’t.”
“Yes…”
Having clearly recognized Leia’s intentions, I immediately tried to make a move on her, but for some reason, she looked flustered and refused.
Wh-what is this? A new kind of torture? Wasn’t the punishment over last night?
We ended up having proper sex later, with me moving and everything, so I thought the punishment was long over.
I had that thought for a moment, but of course, that wasn’t it.
Because Leia immediately took her hand off my thing she’d been stimulating and started washing it normally.
Well, not exactly normally… From then on, there was so little sexual stimulation that it actually felt abnormal.
“Huhu. All clean.”
“…Yeah. We are.”
In the end, without anything else happening, we simply washed each other’s bodies and got out of the tub.
Thanks to that, my mental fortitude was quite drained.
Not that washing each other with my angel wasn’t pure bliss, of course.
It was just that my mind was so preoccupied that I couldn’t fully enjoy that bliss.
What on earth was the meaning behind that whole series of actions?
“Mmm. You look handsome.”
Even though Leia must have sensed my slightly strange expression, she didn’t say a word about it.
Instead, after carefully drying my body with a towel and even dressing me herself, she straightened my clothes and said that to me.
“Heh heh. Thank you.”
Weren’t you feeling strange just a moment ago? you ask.
That’s that, and this is this.
My angel was acting like a wife seeing her husband off in the morning and even told me I was handsome. What kind of bastard could resist smiling at that?
…Huh? Wait a minute. Seeing me off?
“There’s still a lot of time until breakfast.”
“Yeah, there is.”
“I’m fine. You should go.”
And my angel, having finished dressing me, said that in a natural tone, as if it were nothing at all.
“Leia?”
“Won’t you be late if you don’t go soon? I’m sure Rachel goes to work early in the morning, right?”
Just as I thought.
Leia had seen right through to the reason I’d woken up so early today.
Yes. The reason I woke up even earlier than usual was precisely that.
There was no way I’d woken up early simply because I was uncomfortable sleeping in the bathtub. For crying out loud, I’m the kind of guy who sleeps for days on end in the dungeon.
Which meant there was no way Leia, who knew me so well, wouldn’t have known.
I see. So that’s why she acted that way while washing me earlier.
She must have thought that if she stimulated me and created an atmosphere where we were about to have sex again, I would obediently explain the situation with Elder Sister Rachel and ask for her understanding.
But then she panicked when I actually tried to have sex again.
Honestly, just how much of an angel is my angel?
“No. It’s fine.”
But I shook my head, refusing Leia’s incredibly gracious send-off.
It was true that I’d woken up early because a part of me was worried about Elder Sister Rachel.
But that didn’t mean I thought it was right to leave Leia’s side now to go to Rachel.
I had already come home late yesterday, shortening my night with Leia. Ending our morning cuddling session early on top of that would be too much.
It would be taking too much advantage of my angel’s kind heart.
That’s why I decided to focus solely on spending a happy time with Leia for now.
I felt bad for Elder Sister Rachel, but I’d just have to go and explain the situation to her later in the day.
“No. You should go. You brought her here after she fainted, right? She’ll surely be flustered if you’re not by her side when she wakes up.”
But as if to mock my resolve, Leia spoke in a tone like she was gently scolding a child.
“No. But…”
“No buts. It’s a terrible thing to do to Rachel. Besides, this is a calculated move on my part. You absolutely have to go.”
“Calculated?”
“Well, if I send you off now, you’ll feel more indebted to me, won’t you? And if I show such a generous attitude compared to the others who are so jealous, I’ll score a lot of points.”
As she said that, my angel smiled awkwardly, raising only one corner of her mouth.
…Was she trying to make a wicked smile?
It was so unfitting and awkward that it was actually just cute.
“No. This isn’t a competition for rankings, so I don’t think there are any points to be scored.”
Besides, if she were really a calculating person, I don’t think she would go out of her way to say it out loud and tell me.
Every single word she uttered was so angelic that I couldn’t help but find the angel before me adorable.
“You just don’t know, Guwon. There’s a competition among us women.”
As if she’d noticed my pleased expression and realized what I was thinking, Leia erased the awkward, wicked smile from her face and muttered in a slightly sulky tone.
And hey, by that logic, isn’t it meaningless to score points if you don’t tell the others?
It’s not like she has the personality to go bragging about this stuff to the others, anyway.
“Scoring points by showing a generous side instead of a jealous one… What are you going to do if I cause another incident like last night, thinking you’ll forgive me anyway?”
“What? You wouldn’t do that, would you?”
Leia naturally refuted my follow-up question with an expression that said it was obvious.
Faced with her incredibly pure faith, I felt like I might be purified and simply disappear.
My angel is too much of an angel.
“Anyway, that’s why. For me to score points, you have to go to Rachel now.”
My angel. Your logic is a complete mess.
“No.”
“What?! B-but then Rachel will be so…”
Of course, I flatly refused my angel’s request-that-wasn’t-a-request.
As if she never imagined I would refuse even after all that, Leia was startled and didn’t know what to do.
My angel. Your true, angelic heart that’s thinking of Elder Sister Rachel is slipping out.
“By the way, Leia. I’m really sorry to talk about this when we should be cuddling, but something’s come up and I think I have to step out for a bit. So, is it okay if I head out a little earlier than usual? I’m really sorry. I’ll definitely repay this debt later.”
And then, this time, I was the one to properly ask Leia.
If I was going to be indebted anyway, it’s much cleaner for it to happen because I asked, rather than because Leia told me to, right?
Really. That’s really why I refused.
It was definitely not to get revenge for my angel rejecting my marriage proposal earlier.
“Huhu. Yes. If something’s come up, it can’t be helped. You owe me one, Guwon, right?”
As if she understood my intentions, Leia replied with a warm smile.
