Loser, look up (5)
Loser, look up (5)
Rus naturally reached out and grabbed the doorknob of Stachys's room.
The chilly sensation stung her hand.
Carefully applying strength to her grip, she turned her wrist.
-Cheolkeok.
The doorknob stopped halfway through its turn.
It was locked.
"..."
This was the first obstacle in the sequence of her actions after parting ways with Stachys.
And for the first time against that obstacle, she snapped out of her dazed mental state.
The very first thought that came to her in that state was,
'I want to go into the room.'
was it.
Her unconscious and conscious mind were thinking the exact same thing.
It felt like once she went in, she would finally know what she wanted to do right now.
Rus turned her body and headed back down to the first floor.
Sikeulbeokbeok.
Many people were eating meals in the dining hall.
She approached the innkeeper ajumma, who looked like she was taking a break.
The innkeeper ajumma recognized Rus and opened her mouth.
"Ah, it's that pretty young lady who hangs around with Stachys-ssi! What brings you here?"
"...Could you please open Stachys's room door..?"
The innkeeper ajumma tilted her head.
"Isn't he inside? That young fellow?"
Rus recalled the conversation from earlier.
-'What he said about finishing late actually meant he probably won't be coming home until tomorrow.'
Forcing open her tightly closed mouth, she spoke.
"..... He won't be here... until tomorrow. So please open the door."
At Rus's repeated request, the innkeeper ajumma slightly scowled.
"Huh..? Tsk... That's a bit difficult..."
However, Rus had to get into that room no matter what.
So naturally, she lied.
"..I wanted to leave a surprise gift inside."
The innkeeper ajumma scanned Rus up and down.
"... I don't see any gift?"
It was an obvious fact. Because she had just asked to open it without one.
She had hoped she would just brush it off and open it.
She wrung her brain wondering if she should shamelessly tell another lie or make an excuse for the lie she just told.
But unlike usual, Rus had no room in her heart.
Because of that, a little bit of the anger she had been holding back leaked out.
She thought, even something as trivial as this isn't going her way.
In an instant, the surroundings turned chilly.
Rus stubbornly pushed a bit harder, just as she always did with Stachys.
"... Can't you just open it for me..?"
Tossing the lie aside, she decided to just push through.
Her voice came out slightly lowered.
The innkeeper ajumma, for her part, was terrified out of her wits by that small difference.
In a single moment, Rus's atmosphere shifted, acting as if she would commit some atrocity if the door wasn't opened.
Her motto was to live thin and long.
She had no choice but to yield to such intimidation.
The innkeeper ajumma thought to herself.
'I'm sorry, young man!'
The innkeeper ajumma resolved that next time she met Stachys, she would refund the extra inn fee she had added as a tip.
"Ah, young lady. Calm down for a moment. I'll open it, okay?"
And then she scurried off to fetch her bundle of keys.
When Rus looked around, the numerous eyes watching her scattered in an instant.
The dining hall, which had grown quiet at some point, became bustling again.
-'Ah, ah~ the food here is good.'
-'So... um... Ah! Did I tell you about that?'
Rus knew that her own actions just now were the cause, but she didn't care in the slightest.
-Cheolkeok
Rus entered Stachys's lodging.
This place, which always gave her a sense of stability whenever she entered, presented her with emptiness this time.
Come to think of it, this was the first time Rus had entered his lodging alone.
Because Stachys was always there.
But this time, he wasn't.
He had gone to meet his girlfriend.
He had gone to spend the night.
Tears streamed down from the eyes of Rus, who had been standing bluntly.
It felt like she was shedding far too many lately.
For the nearly six years she had known Stachys, there were far more happy times than sad ones so she rarely had reason to cry, but it felt like all of that had come to an end.
-Tuduk tuduk
They moistened the floor.
Whenever she shed tears until now, her heart felt like it was tearing apart in pain, but strangely, it didn't hurt right now.
No emotions were felt, and no thoughts came to mind.
Yet only the tears from her eyes did not dry up.
Rus walked into the room step by step, listlessly... Unbuckling the sword she always wore at her waist, she tossed it aside and went deeper into the dark room.
As she went in a little further, a piece of clothing came into view.
Clothes that looked expensive at a glance.
It looked like the clothes Lily had bought him.
The clothes he had promised to show Rus worn on him as well.
Even if he showed her now, it wouldn't be worn for Rus.
Naturally, Rus imagined Stachys wearing them.
A satisfied smile hung on her lips at the thought of how cool he would look.
But her tears still did not stop.
Rus kept walking and slumped down on the bed.
Prick
The moment she sat on the bed, a pain was felt in her chest.
Perhaps it was due to the symbolism the bed held and the actions Stachys would soon be doing.
A sense of reality closed in.
"...?"
Prick. Throbbing
The pain pressing on her chest intensified.
".. Ah.."
Throbbing, throbbing
Her dazed expression twisted into a scowl.
A groan leaked out from between her teeth.
Once she was certain there was no one around, she began to cry out loud, bawling.
After finishing dinner with hyung, I came outside.
It was a bit late.
"Hyung, are you really coming with your resolve firmly set?"
"Mind your own business. This time is different. See you later."
Hyung and I parted ways for a moment.
The reason we parted ways like this was to buy our respective baits.
Whenever hyung and I went fishing, we always made bets, and the difference started right from the bait.
Wondering what bait I should use today... I headed toward the quest guild.
Hmm. Should I use a king earthworm.
Having cried for a long time, Rus lay down on the bed, drained of strength.
Lying on the bed, she looked up.
She saw the ceiling she had always dreamed of looking at.
The ceiling seen while lying on Stachys's bed.
But this wasn't how she wanted to see it.
She had dreamed of Stachys mounting on top of her.
Thinking about Stachys once again made her feel like crying.
She shook her head to blow away the thoughts.
It was already something she couldn't do anything about, and it only stressed her out.
"..."
As she lay quietly, Rus's other senses came alive.
The soft blanket. The rising scent of Stachys.
Slowly and instinctively, Rus turned her head and pressed her nose close to the blanket.
Keungkeung.
She yearned even more for this now-familiar scent.
It was a scent steeped in many memories.
When she leaned on his shoulder while taking her turn on night watch.
When she linked arms with him, saying it was only natural since they were friends.
When she mustered up the courage and hugged him tight in her embrace.
After smelling it for a long time, she raised her body, lifted the blanket, and crawled inside.
This time, without uncomfortably turning her head, she could smell it even while lying straight and looking up.
"Tsk... Hah.."
It felt as though she had entered right into his embrace.
For a moment, as if intoxicated by a drug, all her negative thoughts flew away.
She just wanted to continue enjoying this situation.
After smelling it like that for a long time again, while under the illusion of being in his embrace, the next shockwave struck and swept through her head.
Depressive emotions surged in like a flood.
'Stachys is probably holding a woman right now...?'
Her heart tingled with a sharp ache.
If there was any silver lining, it was that getting into Stachys's blanket gave Rus the illusion that she herself was in his arms.
Forcibly, forcibly erasing Elzain from her mind, she imagined Stachys's appearance.
His image standing before his lover for the first time, a bit fresh, awkward, and shy.
While blankly thinking of that image, Rus's hand slowly moved toward her body.
-Seureuk.. seureuk
She peeled off her clothes layer by layer and tossed them out of the bed.
One by one, step by step, and finally... even her underwear.
Without a single thread on, Rus was inside Stachys's blanket.
An unfamiliar tactile sensation, distinctly different from clothes, and furthermore, those fabrics carrying Stachys's scent brushed against her body.
Stachys was having his first experience.
That she wasn't the one experiencing it with him made no sense by her common sense.
She had always thought that if he lost his virginity, it would be with her.
But the one left behind was her alone.
Rus's hand slowly traveled past her navel down to her vulva.
She thought of Stachys's appearance once more.
Him facing a pink-haired, pink-eyed woman completely naked.
Him interlacing their bodies and whispering into Elzain's ear.
-'I love you, Elzain'
"Eut...!"
Simultaneously with the pain felt in her heart,
her fingers moved around her pussy as if tickling it, barely touching and pulling away.
A faint resistance was still being felt.
Into her nose rushed Stachys's scent with a sudden wave.
Her scowled expression turned dazed as a single knuckle slipped slightly inside her hole.
Jjikgeok...
Rus was startled by the louder-than-expected sound. As it turned out, her insides were already moist and ready to receive something.
'Originally, that should have been Stachys's cock.'
Rus thought.
Inside her head, the image of Stachys before Elzain continuously surfaced.
For Rus, who had imagined having relations with Stachys hundreds of times and more, it was an all-too-easy task.
-'Elzain... can I put it in?'
It might differ from the real Stachys's appearance, but Stachys in Rus's imagination was pure innocence itself.
Rather, he was being defiled by the filthy Elzain.
Rus's fingers now sluggishly slid in and out of her pussy.
They moved smoothly without any resistance.
"Eusss... heuseuueu.."
Groans leaked out. It was indistinguishable whether they were groans of resentment or groans of pleasure from masturbating while smelling Stachys's scent.
Elzain in her imagination nodded at Stachys's words.
Slowly, Stachys's cock approached Elzain's pussy.
-Tak.
The two genitalia touched.
"Haat..!"
This time, Rus moved her fingers a bit roughly.
As if her own fingers were Stachys's cock.
Her fingers went in a bit deeper. Her hymen was felt at the tip.
Imagining him being together with Elzain was agonizing, but Rus smelled Stachys's scent and somehow projected herself onto Elzain in her imagination.
To smell the scent even deeper, she now pulled the blanket all the way over her head and even bit down on the blanket.
-'I'm putting it in.'
Stachys's voice echoing like a beast.
Kku-u-uk. And Stachys's manhood was swallowed into Elzain's pussy.
Deep to the root.
The two became one.
Kadeuk.
Rus bit down hard on the blanket.
Because she felt she wouldn't be able to endure the anger otherwise.
Using that anger as nourishment, she also exerted force into her fingers.
'Stachys is no longer a virgin, is there any reason for me to keep my hymen?'
"Eus.. haah.. haah.. hup..!"
Her pussy kept conveying pleasure to the stimulation.
She pressed her fingers down firmly with the momentum of piercing her hymen.
But her fingers did not go in any deeper.
They stopped right in front of her hymen.
Even when she exerted force, her hand refused to move.
'Discard it... You have to tear your hymen... On the day Stachys lost his virginity, my hymen should disappear too..'
But still, her fingers didn't know how to move.
In fact, she too knew the reason.
Even amidst this desperate situation, deep within her heart,
due to her lingering wish that Stachys would pierce her hymen.
Because a dream cannot be discarded so easily.
Eventually, the strength left her fingers.
The fingers that had been pressing against her hymen pulled away.
Tears flowed again from the sense of defeat.
Once again, only her fingers moved weakly.
"Heuk... huseut.. hup..!"
Sobbing and groaning leaked out simultaneously.
Inside her head, Stachys was now slamming into Elzain fiercely, utilizing his superior body and stamina.
-'Elzain, I love it so much.'
-'Stachys..! I love you..!'
It was painful, but if she imagined it somehow, if she closed her eyes and focused solely on the scent, she could pretend that Stachys was right beside her.
"Chis-ya.... I love you too..."
Rus voiced it out loud.
Her fingers moved rapidly in accordance.
Jjikgeok, jjikgeok, jjikgeok, jjibip.
"Haah... haang... hieuk..."
The sound of her groans only grew louder.
To the pleasure she felt, her fingers moved even faster.
-Cheolseok, cheolseok, cheolseok.
Stachys's sweat-soaked thighs slapped against Elzain, making lewd sounds.
Rus now brought her other hand to her clitoris and began rubbing it rapidly.
"Haat...! Heuk..! Aaah...! Chis-ya..!"
Synchronizing with the timing of Stachys's cock sliding in and out of Elzain's pussy, her fingers also slid in and out.
"Ah...! Haah...! Ah! Ah!"
Now, without any hesitation whatsoever, she was comforting herself.
Meanwhile.
For the past few days, whenever her mana filled up, Lily activated magic to eavesdrop on Stachys.
Her daily routine was sleeping when mana ran low, and eavesdropping when she had mana.
She woke up rubbing her eyes.
Looking out the window, it was nighttime.
Thinking that Stachys couldn't possibly be with his lover until this late hour, but maybe she could at least hear Stachys's voice?, she used her mana and activated the magic.
-'Ah, ah..! Haat...! Hup..!'
And unbelievable sounds pierced directly into her ears.
Lily stiffened in that exact state.
Her mind snapped awake.
"Huh...? Huh??"
But whether she panicked or not, the sounds kept coming.
-'Heuat...! Haat....! Ah..! Ah..!'
Rus's voice had risen a pitch higher from pleasure.
Naturally unaware of this fact, Lily could only blink her eyes and listen to the groans of the woman presumed to be Elzain.
Lily shook her head in denial.
"No.... It can't be. It's just a groaning sound. Well... She might have seen people having sex on the street, right?... Ah! No, is it coming from the room next to Stachys's lodging? Ah, wait, no! Did Stachys lose his clothes somewhere?"
The tone she had maintained pretending to be mature was nowhere to be found.
Because she didn't have the mental capacity to care about that.
"Right... Someone must have stolen his clothes."
To Lily, who couldn't accept it while grasping at absurd reasons, another sound reached her ears.
-'I l-love you.. Chis-ya..! Haat..!'
Thud.
Lily's heart collapsed.
Now it had become an all-too-clear fact.
The groans of a woman being heard.
A woman conveying her love to Stachys.
"No... No..."

Tears streamed down.
She collapsed in a position with her hips raised and her face buried in the bed.
"No...!"
It was a situation she had never anticipated at all.
Lily recalled Stachys's words.
He had definitely said he would wear those clothes and go on a special day.
'Was this what he meant?'
In the end, Lily thought she had ended up gifting the very clothes Stachys would wear when having his first experience with her own hands.
'If I had known it would come to this, I shouldn't have gifted them.'
She thought, grabbing her red hair while lying face down.
'If I had known, I shouldn't have eavesdropped.'
It would have been better not to know at all.
Because the groans of the woman continued to ring in her ears right now.
The groans of a woman experiencing such intense pleasure.
-'Aaah..! Right there, Chis-ya... hseuueut.. heuk..'
Her groans were filled with tears, showing how much pleasure she felt.
At the sound of those tears, Lily's head spun around in an instant.
Lily clenched her fists so tightly that her hands turned white.
"Why are you crying!!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You have everything!! You have it all!!!"
After screaming at the top of her lungs, a sense of debilitating exhaustion washed over her.
"Huk... heuk.. huk.."
Then, letting go of her red hair, she moved her hand.
"If you're doing it, I'll do it too."
Impulsive actions and impulsive emotions.
But it wasn't as sudden as the current situation that had visited her.
Without even taking off her clothes, Lily hastily shoved her hand inside her clothes.
And rapidly rubbing her clitoris with her fingers, she began to comfort herself.
"Stachys..! I am, I am feeling the pleasure together too..!"
With her hips pointing toward the sky and her face buried in the bed, just like that.
A beautiful woman with red hair and red eyes exuding a decadent beauty.
"Haah..! Haah..! We are together..!"
Madness lingered in Lily's eyes.
In reality, the fury of having her first experience stolen and the happiness of thinking she was sharing pleasure with Stachys were heating up her head.
While all of this was taking place.
"Haah..! Haah..!"
Vien ran into Stachys's lodging.
She had dressed up nicely for the first time in a while, wearing clothes that were a bit racy, or rather, seductive for a saintess to wear.
People in the dining hall glanced sideways at Vien passing by.
The innkeeper ajumma also spotted her.
"Oh my~! The young lady is dressed so prettily today! But, um... earlier-"
Without even listening to her words, Vien bypassed the innkeeper ajumma and went up to the second floor.
Stachys's room came into view before her eyes.
Calming her pounding heart, she took a deep breath.
'What did he look for me for?'
She continued to ask herself that question she still didn't know the answer to.
Whatever the reason was, Vien was ready to answer.
She had decided to try and be a little honest.
Whatever words came out, she resolved that it was fine if they did it too.
Slowly and demurely, Vien walked up to Stachys's door.
And just as she raised her hand to knock, a woman's voice stopped her.
"...?"
Vien looked around her surroundings.
There was nowhere this woman's voice could be heard from.
-'...!...! Haout..! ...! Ah..!'
Vien's hands began to tremble violently.
Swallowing hard, Vien took a step backward.
She checked the door. It was indeed Stachys's room door.
She moved a bit to stand in front of the room to the right of Stachys's.
The woman's sounds vanished.
This time, she went in front of the left room on the opposite side.
No sound came from there.
Once again, clutching her trembling, growing cold, and sweaty hands together, Vien walked back in front of Stachys's door.
Vien offered up a prayer.
'Please let it not be. Please let it not be.'
Slowly, Vien pressed her ear against Stachys's door.
Thump thump thump.
Her heart pounded wildly.
And the sound that reached her ears.
-'Haat..! Chis-ya..! Chis-ya...! I love you, Chis-ya...!'
Seureuk
Slump.
Vien dropped to her knees weakly in front of Stachys's door.
A signal came on the fishing rod.
It's a big one.
"Hyung! I got one!!"
"It's obviously just a minnow, Stachys."
No, this is big.
I exerted force with a grunt.
-Cho-ak!
A gigantic fish was hooked and hauled up.
It was a miraculous size that the line didn't snap.
"Hyung!! Look here!! I told you I caught it!!"
At that gigantic size, hyung jumped up and down with joy, forgetting all about the bet.
"You punk!!! Why is it so big!! At least seventy centimeters, a seventy-centimeter lunker!"
I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"It's a huge catch!!!"
