Chapter 775: A Night with Rachel
Chapter 775: A Night with Rachel
“You don’t really need to hide it. I mean, that spot over there…”
A satisfied smile spread across my face as I watched her panic, but my hand still pointed to the spot where I’d placed the glass case earlier today.
But the glass case, decorated with a towel, was no longer there.
Ah. Right. Of course she would have gotten rid of it already.
After our talk earlier, the first thing she did the moment I left was check on it.
“I-I have no idea what you’re talking about, Guwon! None at all! Why? Is there something wrong over there?”
But despite her words, Rachel was visibly flustered.
Rachel, if you get that flustered, there was no point in hiding it.
I figured if I kept pushing the issue now, I’d be the only one losing out in this situation.
“Ah… right. What was I about to say? Oh, well. Doesn’t matter. In that case, Rachel, please continue what you were doing.”
“Really… It would have been better if you’d just been honest from the start. Mmmph…”
Rachel said with a look of visible relief, then pressed her lips to my Dick again.
I leaned back against the pillows, settling into a comfortable position to fully savor the pleasant sensations she was giving me.
Waking up like this in the morning and immediately basking in pleasure. This is pure bliss.
Perhaps because my mind was still groggy with sleep, the pleasure she gave me felt more mild than intense. It felt like if I stayed like this, I could cum gently, as if drifting off to sleep.
“Rachel. I’m close…”
There would be nothing more blissful than to cum gently and fall right back asleep, but I forced myself to sit up.
I knew that after I finished, she would get ready and head straight to work.
I couldn’t just fall back asleep without even seeing her off, could I?
And there was another reason: I couldn’t cum in her mouth right now.
I pulled my Dick from her lips.
“Mmm… chup. Ah… Huh?”
She must not have expected me to do this after signaling I was about to cum, because she stared up at me with a completely baffled expression.
“Why? Disappointed?”
“W-What are you saying…! I-I’m not…!”
As I teased her, her face turned bright red, and she didn’t know what to do.
I didn’t even mention the smell this time.
Well, I did mean to ask if she was disappointed she wouldn’t get a direct whiff of my semen.
I want to accommodate your tastes as much as possible, but please, just bear with me for today.
I slipped my hands under her armpits, lifted her body, and sat her down on top of me.
Positioned, of course, so that my Dick would slide inside her.
“Euhh?!”
It was a sudden insertion, but just as I expected, she took me without any trouble.
In fact, she was even wetter than I’d thought.
This woman really is….
In any case, buried deep inside her, I gently came.
It wasn’t the kind of intense, brain-melting pleasure, but more of a hazy bliss that made me feel like I could drift right off to sleep.
“Ngh…! Hah… W-What was that for? Were you thinking about my level?”
Perhaps because she was already so aroused from having her tastes satisfied, it seemed she’d reached a light climax the moment I started cumming inside her.
But even so, her curiosity was stronger, and she looked into my face and immediately asked her question.
“No. It’s not that… just a second.”
The truth is, I never got to check the Apostle Appointment yesterday.
I had calmed down partway through and even tried to get her to drop her act, but it seems I only thought I was calm and wasn’t really composed at all.
To forget something as important as the Apostle Appointment…
Well, I guess that just goes to show how incredible the event she prepared for me was.
Anyway, after cumming inside her, I tried to calm my racing heart and attempted the Apostle Appointment.
And the result was… ah, just as I thought. It still won’t work.
We had a serious talk, but even as I was speaking, I felt I hadn’t really managed to reassure her.
But even though I had expected it, I couldn’t help but feel a bitter taste in my mouth.
“Guwon…?”
“Just you watch.”
Cupping her cheeks in my hands and looking her straight in the eyes, I spoke as if making a vow to myself.
“I swear I’ll put my mark on this body and make you mine.”
“…Okay. I’ll be looking forward to it.”
She probably doesn’t know much about the Apostle’s Seal yet, but it seemed my sincerity got through to her.
She lowered her gaze, her cheeks flushing a faint pink, and spoke in a shy voice.
“So, now that that’s done, what do you want to do?”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“I mean. You missed out on the… smell. Want to suck me again?”
“Ngh! Guwon, you…! You’re teasing me on purpose, aren’t you?”
Rachel seemed to have finally caught on. She shot me a glare and then got up from the bed.
“Oh? You really won’t do it?”
“I will not.”
“My apologies.”
“Hehe. Still no. I really have to get ready for work now.”
“Already? So soon?”
“A guide’s job is much busier than you think. Have you forgotten that I was always there whenever you came to the Guild?”
“No, but you said you were going to reduce your hours…”
“I haven’t told the Guild yet, so what can I do? I have to work my normal hours, at least for today.”
Rachel said this, then summoned a water spirit to lightly wipe away the fluids on her body before getting dressed.
She wasn’t heading straight to work; she’d probably go to the bathroom to wash up first.
“So. I’ll see you later… Mr. Boyfriend.”
She gently tapped the tip of my nose with her finger, then opened the door to leave…
“Good morning.”
“Kyaa!”
When she opened the door, our butler was standing there.
Rachel must have been quite startled, because her composed, sisterly demeanor vanished, and she fell to the floor, landing on her butt.
To be honest, I was surprised too.
For her to be there the instant the door opened meant she hadn’t shown up after sensing us leaving—she’d been waiting there from the start.
Then how long has she been waiting out there?
And she couldn’t have heard anything from inside the room.
“V-Vanessa-ssi? What in the…”
“I heard that you are an early riser, Lady Rachel. I have prepared your breakfast before the others.”
Without so much as batting an eyelash at the surprised Rachel, Vanessa stoically stuck to her duties.
“What? B-But, for breakfast, I…”
Sister, you skip breakfast?
Considering her work hours, I suppose it made sense.
“That will not do.”
But Vanessa rejected Rachel’s refusal with a single, sharp phrase.
No, Vanessa. I’m all for you making sure she eats, but… something’s off.
“Y-Yes…?”
“You must have breakfast.”
“B-But I don’t have time…”
“Then I will prepare a packed lunch.”
“Y-Yes…? No, you don’t have to go that far…”
“I will have it prepared.”
“Th-Thank you…?”
Rachel tried to refuse several times, but she finally caved to Vanessa’s pressure.
No, really. Isn’t this really, really weird?
“Well then.”
Vanessa gave a slight bow and vanished like smoke.
“W-What on earth was that?”
“…A butler who’s seriously dedicated to her job?”
That was the only answer I could give to Rachel’s question after Vanessa disappeared.
“She’s so high-spec that she seems weird sometimes. If you’re going to live here, you’ll just have to get used to it.”
In fact, I no longer found it surprising when Vanessa would pop out of nowhere just by me whispering her name.
Anyway, after that minor commotion, Rachel finished her bath, took the lunchbox from Vanessa, and left for work.
I saw her off at the main gate, waving until she was out of sight, when a thought suddenly struck me.
From our conversation in the room to this very moment, didn’t I seem like a textbook kept man?
“…Hey. Vanessa.”
Since dwelling on it wouldn’t be productive or meaningful, I quickly stopped thinking about it and decided to talk to Vanessa instead.
“What is it?”
“So what was that all about earlier?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, you were waiting right in front of the door. How did you know when we’d come out?”
Right. I’d brushed it off for Rachel’s sake, but to be honest, it had been bothering me a little too.
It looked like she was just doing her job as a butler, but something felt off.
“I confirmed Lady Rachel’s work schedule the day before, so it was not difficult to estimate.”
“Still, that means you were waiting for quite a while, right?”
Vanessa answered nonchalantly as if it were nothing, but admitting it was an estimate meant she had, in fact, been waiting.
And at such an early hour, too.
“…It is fine. The truth is.”
At my questioning, Vanessa fell silent for a moment before speaking in a tone that suggested she was about to reveal a secret.
“Yeah?”
“I can use the Shadow Clone Technique.”
“For real?!”
“That was a joke.”
Damn it! I almost believed her!
I can see her entire skill window now, so if I looked closely, I’d know she was lying!
But it wasn’t just a joke; she has the kind of aura that makes you think she actually could do it.
I’ll have to take a closer look at her skill window when I have time.
“…Hey. Are you perhaps bothered by the fact that I have another woman now?”
In any case, for Vanessa to suddenly make a lame joke like that meant she was subtly trying to change the subject.
And I guessed that was the reason for her strange behavior.
Sure, Rachel and I realized our feelings for each other first, but while we were doing our push-and-pull, I ended up getting together with Vanessa first.
So it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Vanessa was the first to officially become my woman in this recent string of events.
And now, Vanessa was feeling self-conscious and didn’t know how to act around Rachel, who became my woman after her.
You couldn’t tell at all just by looking at her expression, but since yesterday, she’d shown many signs of being subtly conscious of Rachel.
“…I was merely performing my duties as a butler.”
There it is again. Playing the butler card whenever she’s at a disadvantage.
Well, I suppose it’s only natural for her to be bothered by it.
“You don’t need to be so self-conscious about it. I think you can just treat her the same as the others.”
“…I am aware.”
“Just because Rachel is my woman now doesn’t mean my affection for you has lessened in any way.”
“……That, too, I am aware of.”
This time, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if debating whether to answer as a butler or not, but after a slightly longer silence, Vanessa nodded once more.
“Then that’s settled. So, you’ve cleared your schedule, right?”
“What? Ngh! I’m sure I told you yesterday…”
“Yeah, yeah. I heard you used your free time for the move. But then you rushed out saying you had something to do. Wasn’t that to make time to spend with me as my woman?”
She had ended up coming with me, but she had seemed a bit hesitant when we went to the palace to see Felicia.
“…How did you…”
And my guess was right, as Vanessa muttered those words under her breath.
“Proof that I pay close attention to my women, isn’t it? So, what’s your answer?”
To be honest, I hadn’t thought of it yesterday. The idea just popped into my head now, seeing her act this way.
Whatever, I was right, wasn’t I?
“…A little… I do. But not right now. I must prepare breakfast…”
“I’m not planning to skip breakfast and drag you to bed right this second. Anyway, that’s a yes, right? Then let’s go wash up and get something to eat.”
Just getting that confirmation was enough.
With that, I reached out to wrap my arm around Vanessa’s waist…
Smack.
Before I could, my hand was slapped away.
“For now, I am still a butler.”
Do you really have to put up such an iron wall, even now?
