## Chapter 168 – [Interlude] Witch
Lisha, having reverted to her youthful appearance, sat on the bed in a delicate pose. I sat in a chair, facing her directly.
Bathed in a soft, reddish light, her face flushed, and her eyes brimming with tears, she looked so vulnerable that the specific words I had intended to say just wouldn’t come out.
Goddamn it!
Why can’t I be cool?
Have I still not become a macho man…?
Am I still stuck as a girl princess…?
I managed to open my mouth.
“…Witch. To be honest, I thought you were a really good person. No matter what people outside say about witches being monsters, you were at least kind to me.”
“…”
“But to do something so awful to me…! You betrayed me!”
An overwhelming betrayal!
To be raped by someone I trusted!
I clutched my head and berated Lisha. I thought Lisha was a good person. I thought she was as good as she was beautiful. But she betrayed me!
“I’m sorry… I just thought you’d like it. I was too rash. While saying that kids these days have no manners, I ended up doing something even more unmannerly myself…”
Lisha said, lowering her gaze.
“It’s the first time I’ve been scolded like this by a man… It’s embarrassing…”
Seeing her so deeply dejected, the anger that had been surging like lava subsided. Sadly, I felt a pang of sympathy. If she had just yelled, asking what the problem was, I would have cursed her out and left, but she admitted her mistake and apologized so sincerely, so what could I possibly say?
If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have felt this torment. It seems like an unlucky day.
“Because it was my first time… I thought that if I just did this, all boys would like it. I’m sorry. What can I do?”
“There’s no need to do anything… Sigh. Let’s just pretend this never happened.”
“You’re forgiving me?”
Forgiveness.
“I don’t know. This is… I don’t think it’s something I can forgive. Since you’re apologizing so sincerely, I’m just telling you my honest feelings. This will probably remain with me as something like an unforgettable scar.”
I stood up. I wanted to go back and see Claudia’s face. I couldn’t tell her about what happened today until I died, but I wanted to be comforted.
Damn it!
Claudia, my love!
“Are you leaving?”
“…Yes.”
“Will you come again?”
Lisha said to my turning back.
I hesitated about what to say, then made up my mind.
“Haa. I’ll come again, so don’t make such a sad face.”
“…You’re a good boy.”
“If I’m good, then everyone in the world is good. This isn’t Teletubby Land… I’ll come to see you again later. I hope you won’t… drug me like that next time.”
This is why getting involved with women is a problem.
Kim Kat, the serial killer of justice, has become this harmless.
To be honest, I did feel sexual pleasure. Lisha, transformed into her adult form, was a beauty with almost the same goddess-like looks as Claudia, and her skills, honed over the years, provided me with extreme pleasure.
But no matter how ideal the beauty, I don’t want any of that. Even if a meal is laid out in front of you, indiscriminately devouring it is something only rude people do.
I only have Claudia.
And Winnie, too.
Frankly, if I told Claudia I was raped, she’d probably just accept it. And maybe even suggest we go together next time. But her values and mine are different.
I don’t want to have sexual relations with any woman other than Claudia. Of course, Winnie is an exception… Well, Winnie would throw a fit if she knew. She’s a little jealous. Winnie is.
“I won’t do it again… And before you go, didn’t you bring the crown earlier?”
“Ah.”
Oh, shit.
Come to think of it, I did have that.
“Can you wait a moment?”
“…”
Lisha got up, passed me, and went out the door. I heard her going down the stairs. Was this the second floor? I awkwardly sat down and waited for Lisha.
…I got caught up in something unexpected.
I was just going to leave, but it turned out like this.
Before long, Lisha returned with the crown, the restraints, and the wand.
“Stay there.”
Sitting across from me, she placed the crown and restraints on the table. I had already heard the explanation about these items earlier. Until then, I had no idea things would turn out like this.
“Well, I came here to sell these in the first place. I’m really sorry that things turned out this way. But since you came to me, I think it’s only right to do what I have to do.”
“…I guess so.”
It’s a little awkward, but it’s something I have to do anyway…
I started to feel like this place was a bed of thorns.
No, why am I the one feeling uncomfortable?
“This crown is quite a good item. It has some interesting curses on it. Even the restraints have curses on them. The wand doesn’t seem to be worth much, though.”
Lisha continued her explanation.
It seems the crown was a better item than I thought. Unfortunately, hearing about its value made me think of money, and my mood rapidly improved. After all, the thrill of a boss fight is the unique drop item.
What is with this emotional rollercoaster…!
“So, this set… I think I can buy it for about 40 silver. The wand, I’ll give you 2 silver each, so 44 silver, how’s that?”
“Y-Yes!”
44 silver!
For a moment, I almost jumped up like a spring and cheered! The reason I didn’t was because my patience was stronger than I thought.
“I’m glad you seem happy.”
Still, I couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing that, Lisha smiled.
“Yes, well…”
“Hehe. Can you come a little closer?”
Lisha, who had gotten up and sat on the bed, beckoned.
Seeing her act like this even after what just happened, she seemed quite skilled. I hesitated for a moment, then went and sat next to her.
Lisha in a black negligee that didn’t reveal anything.
She’s in her youthful form now. The traces of the intense sex from just now remain on this bed. The traces of that with Lisha right next to me.
Even recalling that, I don’t feel any lust.
Lisha is beautiful now, but she’s in her youthful form. I can feel that a beautifully decorated doll is beautiful, but if I feel lust for it, I’m no different from a heinous sex offender beyond redemption.
“You’re feeling anger towards me, but at the same time… you feel sorry for me when you see me sad.”
Lisha said faintly, taking my hand.
“…Can you read my thoughts?”
“To some extent.”
“Don’t read them too much.”
It’s quite unpleasant that someone can read my thoughts. Specifically, it’s no different from being in contact with someone who knows all the contents of my personal PC or my internet history.
“I can’t help it, I just hear them.”
“Then you raped me even though you heard my thoughts?”
Lisha, who had been stroking my clasped hands, stopped.
“That’s… I told you, I thought you’d like it if I did it. I thought all boys were like that.”
It seems this elder has been devouring countless men and has finally extended her reach to me. Surely no man would refuse such a beauty… Am I the weird one? I don’t think so?
“T-That’s not it. O-Of course, this is my first direct sexual act with a member of the opposite sex… but… still…”
“You read my thoughts again. And there’s nothing more awkward than hearing someone else’s story like that.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Stop saying that word now.”
“…”
The dejected Lisha was just like a child of that age, stimulating my sympathy. Her feet, perched on the bed, didn’t touch the ground. Lisha moved her legs as if splashing water, her head bowed.
Thus, children are not objects of such gloomy sexual tastes, but beings to be embraced and guided on the right path.
“…Are you going now?”
Lisha looked up at me.
Her anxious face reminded me of Winnie back then.
“I have to go. It’s getting late.”
“I see… That’s too bad.”
As I was about to get up,
“…”
She brought my hand to her chest.
“It’s very embarrassing to say this, but just now… it was really good. It was the first time in my life that it was like that… And the thing about the familiar was just a joke. It’s been too long… so I think I lost my mind. I apologize again. I’m so sorry for hurting you.”
I felt her heart throbbing through my hand.
Come to think of it, her body was hot, unlike her cold impression.
“It’s okay, well… Haa. Damn it. It’s just… well, it’s a lot, but I can’t explain it in words… I can’t say it’s okay, but I’ll just pretend it’s okay, so stop and relax.”
I don’t even know if this is comforting.
Actually, I have no reason to comfort her.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Then I’ll be going now. Please… let go of my hand now.”
“Can you wait a moment?”
“…Tch.”
Thus, I continued the heart touch, which could be seen as half-criminal, as Lisha requested. This kind of skinship… I started to feel even more embarrassed. Somehow, I feel hotter than when I was having sex. Of course, blood didn’t rush to my lower body.
“Okay, that’s enough… You can go now. Take the pouch on the table.”
“Then… yes. Goodbye.”
“Come again next time.”
Lisha smiled and waved at me.
Leaving her behind, I went down to the first floor.
“Huh.”
I thought I had come down to the first floor, but suddenly I was outside. Familiar magic. I turned around. The witch’s black magic shop looked as dark as the darkened night sky.
…
I, Kim Kat, was raped today.
“Ah.”
The stars twinkled.
It must be late at night.
“I was raped.”
It was too late. I didn’t know what to say to the two women waiting for me.
“But… with this scar.”
I immediately headed towards the lodging.
“I will live on.”
Step by step. I couldn’t put strength into my feet.
With lightened, but at the same time heavy steps, I walked through the back alley. Night is the time for robbers. I felt depressed, so I drew my sword. As long as I was holding the sword, I could shake off my 잡념.
Even though it was night, men with their shirts off glared at me from all over the place, their eyes shining in the darkness.
Please… please, someone attack me!
I can only wash away this uncomfortable feeling with blood!
“…”
But contrary to my wishes, no robbers attacked me. Why is it that only at times like this do you leave me alone to cry, damn it… I felt so resentful of the robbers in this back alley.
I sang a song.
Mr. Seol Woon-do’s Compass.
Singing that song, I walked towards the lodging. As the night deepened, the presence of people gradually disappeared. What excuse should I make? I was talking to the witch and got a little late?
No. I was talking and got a cup of tea, and then I fell asleep?
Should I make up something like that?
ㅡSwish.
I stood in front of the door.
I took out the key, slowly put it in the hole, and opened the door. The room was dark. What? Are they both asleep? They must have been tired, so they disposed of the items and went to bed.
“What? They’re not here? Haven’t they come yet?”
But when I looked, they weren’t there.
I turned on the light.
Surely they both went out, are they going to eat something?
But it seems a little late for that.
Anyway, I’m glad I came first. I don’t think I need to make any excuses. I threw off my clothes. I was thinking of just snoring like this, but I sweated from the sex with Lisha, so it would be better to wash.
I grabbed the door of the shower room and opened it.
ㅡSqueak.
Then.
“Kyaaaaaaaak!!”
Claudia and Winnie were tangled up and collapsed in the shower room!
W-What! Could it be that they slipped while washing and just…!
“H-Hang in there! Claudiaaaaa!!!! Winnieaaaa!!!!!”
I jumped out like a seizure and hugged Claudia!
Damn it! What am I…!
“U-Uh? Kat?”
“Yes? Yess?”
The hugged Claudia opened her eyes.
“What is this…”
“Huu… I must have fallen asleep with Winnie while washing. It’s cold. Yeah. Kat’s body is warm. Keep doing that.”
…What.
I don’t think I need to make any excuses.
What on earth did they do together in this narrow place that they fell asleep exhausted in the shower room…
I moved Claudia and Winnie to the bed as they were.
