Chapter 138 – Acceptance and Denial
There are stories in the world that are so obvious that there is no need to even mention them.
For example, you don’t have to worry about an ant bite, but it will get better soon, so it doesn’t matter if you leave it alone. Parents of three-year-olds would think the same as me.
In the world, such stories are often called common sense.
“Hoh… Ahhh, it hurts! The little guy is biting quite hard.”
“Saintess. No, Ophelia. From your point of view, it’s just a joke, but from the ant’s point of view, you must have felt the threat to your life. Some giant grabs you by the hand and won’t let you go, so you won’t be struggling to escape somehow.”
“Ugh, now that I think about it, oppa is right. I must have been lacking in consideration. I’m sorry, ant…”
—Paaah!
Moreover, if the wound was treated with even the divine power, the possibility of something happening would converge to zero.
Ophelia’s index finger, which had been slightly embossed with red blood, returned to normal in just one second.
Yes. It’s just a momentary happening that soothes a boring life in distress.
Judging by common sense, it must have been just a trivial matter that could be laughed lightly and overlooked.
“You bastard! Go back to where you came from!”
So I didn’t care too much. Instead, I seem to have focused on Ophelia’s actions at the time.
It’s what I felt after living together for a few days, but when I watched the girl’s unspoilt innocence, the corners of my mouth went up without my knowledge, and it felt like I was happy.
“Haha.”
She’s like a hamster
Yes, a large golden hamster that noble ladies often keep as pets. If you watch such a hamster diligently rolling on a treadmill or forgetting sunflower seeds, would you feel this way?
It may be a little disrespectful to say that it is the impression one has while looking at a girl who has become a saint of the Celestial Church, but what can one say?
Her Ophelia’s innocence was a great help in suppressing her abnormal sexual desire, which continued to torment me even after I asked her to pray for her purification.
Aside from having a stimulating and lewd female body, having an affair with an innocent girl like that is nothing short of a sin.
Besides, she was a saint of the Celestial Church.
Unlike the religions that were popular in the distant past before the empire was born, the Celestial Church does not particularly force chastity on its clergy.
Rather, it promotes love and fertility between men and women…
Still, the saintess was a saint. In addition, all the saints of successive generations maintained their virginity until they died of natural causes. There are already three lovers who share affection, so why does she need to lay her hands on the girl?
Besides, now it’s just the two of them on an uninhabited island. No matter how close we are, how scared the girl would be if I suddenly turned into a beast.
I don’t want that. I had no interest in appreciating the weak, unable to resist, howling in fear in front of me.
So it’s something I just have to be patient with.
“It’s cute.”
“Yes, yes?! What is it?”
“Both. You, Ophelia, and that ant, who hurriedly runs away after letting go.”
Feeling happy with the girl’s actions, let’s say she’s cute with her honesty, even the thin nape of her neck exposed while looking away from her blushing face.
“Ugh… Oppa! Do you want to keep doing that? Every time, I’m just confused!”
“You’re confused, what?”
“It’s okay. Big stupid brother… Or are you doing it on purpose. Chi…”
She crossed her arms carelessly while wearing a top that was no different from a slutty underwear, strangely emphasizing her breasts the size of her head, revealing her pure white flesh and pink fruit in front of my eyes.
In the weather that makes you sweat just by staying still, the strong body scent of a female that occasionally rides on the wind and brushes the tip of your nose.
It was all a matter of being patient and putting up with it.
Because I thought I was doing it.
One night when I was going through a lot of puberty. If you recall the memory of being kicked while watching Master’s bath scene, you could somehow endure this.
… Well, to be honest, the fact that I was making excuses for myself like this was tantamount to proof that I clearly recognized Ophelia as a woman.
I was also clearly aware that my current condition was not normal.
But, if Alicia or Agnes. Or if you were on a remote island with Master and were going through a similar situation…
Wouldn’t he have been working hard on making a child while shaking his back like a monkey?
On a remote island that does not benefit from civilization, it is really boring because there is nothing to do other than training the body or practicing mana breathing.
“Heavenly God, please give me the strength to overcome adversity…”
On the other hand, Ophelia seemed to be able to overcome boredom by devoting herself to prayer for more than half of the day, like a saint, but…
‘… I’m going crazy.’
I wasn’t
Her breasts stand out as she puts her hands together in a prayer posture, and her buttocks, which naturally fall back as she bends down while looking up at the sky, are constantly stepped on by my eyes.
If you think the priest’s prayers are subtly erotic, she must be out of her mind or in heat.
Or both. Even if he was struck by lightning for blasphemy, he had nothing to say.
You won’t die from being hit, but anyway…
It was a car that was draining of energy even if it was still to endure a situation that was no different from penance.
“Ophelia. Do you want something to eat?”
“Ah! Fruits that resembled strawberries, nuts that resembled almonds but were much richer, and bird meat that resembled partridges but was large and very rich and delicious! The fruit of the tree, which smelled like spices, was nice!”
“…Something is extremely specific. I got it.
“Yes, oppa! Have a good trip! I’ll prepare the dishes for you. Hehe!”
In the afternoon, when the heat of the day gradually cools down.
So, I left for a while to get some fresh air, and to hunt and gather.
The nature of the island was quite harsh compared to the well-maintained mainland of the empire, but it was just a resort for me anyway, so I think I went around a lot with the idea of going for a walk.
—Queack!
“Finally found. This guy, is it a rarer species than I thought?”
Besides, since Ophelia had gathered all the food she wanted, it was later than expected, and she arrived home at the end of the day.
Something unimaginable was happening at home.
“Ophelia, I’m here…”
“Ahhhhh.
Ophelia, howling my name over and over again, flinched on her bed of soft moss and grass.
She threw off the clothes that symbolized the traces of civilization, and was just a female, frantically coveting her breasts and secrets.
Seeing that scene, my hands naturally gave up, and the prey I was holding and the materials I had brought to reinforce the house fell to the ground.
—Toouk
Along with a powerless sound, I don’t know if it’s the sound of things falling apart, or if it’s a signal that the last line of reason I was barely holding on to was cut off.
“Huh…?”
I’m a saint, no… I took a step towards the female in front of me.
* * *
A small, different world located in the middle of the islands, the residence of the general.
In front of a garden lush with greenery all year round, her blue-haired little girl, who has been living here for several days, has been kneeling and bowing her head to the ground.
The true identity of the female knight is Agnes von Ihelm, the vice-captain of the Black Lion Knights.
When news of the disappearance of the two was delivered, the imperial government and the Celestial Church declared a state of emergency at once, and she was the first to return to the system as the main witness of the case.
‘Sister Agnes, tell me. Her sister knows best. She said where and what he did until the end… ‘
‘Sir Agnes. It’s old age with you. He says that he is Lord Wolfgang’s close friend and executive officer of the Counterintelligence Department, Randolph. It’s a pity that I came here because of something bad, but please give me a detailed statement about the incident.’
‘Are you Lady Agnes of Baron Ihelm? Excuse me, but the lady has been designated as the heir to Lord Wolfgang’s legacy, so I came here to see you. Of course, it’s not my intention to confirm the death of an important person, but there is an essential procedure.’
‘Sir Agnes.’
‘Agnes.’
‘Agnes…’
After being summoned by Princess Alicia and witnessing her holding back her tears in front of her eyes, she mechanically responded to the requests of countless people who were looking for her.
Agnes came to the general with staggering steps and knelt in front of the garden as if pleading.
“Can I just leave it like that?”
“Shh. The general doesn’t say anything either. I’ll just leave it alone.”
“It’s so pitiful. It’s like…”
At first, the security forces of her consolidated command came to her and tried to force her to withdraw, but after her identity and her purpose were confirmed, no one of hers touched her.
Like that, a few days passed.
“…You are that blue-haired girl. What the hell are you doing in front of someone else’s house?”
In front of the general who finally appeared, Agnes struggled to raise his head.
