Chapter 111 – Shifting Perceptions (3)

Emotions tend to swell the more you attempt to suppress them.

– Squeak. Squeak.

Listening closely, I could hear the sound of the bed shaking fervently.

Vulgar moans escaped my mouth, filling my ears.
In my field of vision, the flushed face of an intoxicated man appeared.

‘…….’

A head tilting to the side, a body convulsing.
A few strands of white hair clung to the forehead, swaying beneath the eyebrows.

– Hah… Haah, keuheueuk

As the woman, her body restrained by two large fingers, screamed and writhed, the man stirred inside her, making her aware of her own submission.
Saliva dribbled from his mouth during the act of sharing their flesh, like primal creatures.

It was immediately apparent that the saliva wasn’t his own.

– Siheon… Siheon.

The sensations of the consciousness’ master permeating throughout the body… It was clear. It was White Peach.

Thump-thump – my heart stirs.

As a child, after the calamity, White Peach’s heart was as tranquil as a serene spring meadow. However…

Strangely enough, whenever White Peach encountered the statue, her emotions surged forth like a volcanic eruption.

-…!!♥…!♡

Moaning causes her throat to ache.

She feels the trembling throughout her entire body, yet no pleasure returns to her.

There’s no sensation in her fingers as they poke and prod her body.

It’s as if someone is tapping on a numb body that lacks feeling because blood isn’t circulating.

If it’s going to be like this, she should have gone to bed sooner.

Even though she tries to suppress her consciousness, her heart pounds when she sees Lee Si-heon’s face flitting in front of her.

The statue is peculiar.

From the moment they first met until now. He’s a man who, strangely enough, catches her eye and makes her want to reach out to him again.

A desire for protection. A lustful, sly thought of being conquered.

Just by looking into each other’s eyes, various emotions surged forth. He was a man who made her want to gently squeeze his chest.

She didn’t think those feelings were false. She didn’t even want to entertain such a thought.

As soon as White Peach and the statue locked eyes, they understood each other’s animosity. She felt that she and the statue were drawn to one another.

-…Stop. Stop it.

That’s why she hadn’t anticipated things would go this way with White Peach.

How could the two of them, who always bickered, suddenly find themselves caught in each other’s gaze while drinking? It was utterly incomprehensible.

She was well aware that the statue had many women.

Accepting multiple partners of the opposite sex wasn’t unusual. And she knew she had no grounds for complaint. For now, they were merely entwined in a physical connection.

However, as time passed, she yearned for a deeper, more profound relationship. Sharing their likes, eating peaches together, and forming an ideal bond where they would help fulfill each other’s desires.

Back when I used to read my favorite comics, I enjoyed that tingling sensation the most.

What’s the issue with having multiple women! As long as I’m happy. However, the emotions I face when confronted by reality are different.

-Ahhh…♡

Am I strange? Am I the only one who feels this way?

I’m not even sure if it’s appropriate to describe my heart as burning. If I were to put this emotion into words… it’s like the sensation of my heart pounding repeatedly, creating a lump inside.

I want to embrace someone too. I’m the one who satisfies the statue. Thoughts like these keep flooding in. If Heaven discovers these feelings, I’m sure I’ll be scolded.

But… I am a tree as well.

Just as a tree is forever bound to the soil it roots itself in, I too was simply searching for someone to become my soil.

How could I not feel upset when the trees that came later are extending their fine roots?

I’ve made many concessions up until now.

I had always given up the dried persimmons we shared as children, and whenever delicious food was served for lunch, I would share it… I even took the brunt of the jokes and got scolded in her place.

‘Why has it come to this?’

Baekdo still remains my closest sister. I never want to part ways with her. That much has never changed.

However, witnessing the intimate moments between the two left me feeling uneasy. Perhaps it felt more uncomfortable because of our closeness, or maybe it was because we shared the same body.

If only our pleasure had been connected as well, I could have let go of my mind… As soon as my thoughts reached that point, I quickly became aware of my own feelings.

‘Clearly, I have a thing for doppelgangers.’

Once this realization took hold, it only grew stronger over time.

Try as I might to suppress these emotions, they continued to accumulate. After that day, meeting the doppelganger felt so awkward that I avoided her for a while.

My head spun as the conflicting desires to see her and the reluctance to discuss the situation mingled together.

‘Why do you feel this way?’

‘Cheondo?’

Today, my consciousness seems somewhat hazy.

As I stepped outside to avoid the statue and took a deep breath, Cheondo approached and started a conversation.

“It’s nothing. Hehe, no big deal.”

-…

It must be one of those whims. I planned to endure it and move on.

-I can’t tell what you’re thinking, but I can sense an underlying urge.

“Did you notice?”

-Do as you please.

“…”

-You have a tendency to suppress your desires too much.

Is that so?

-Talking to Lee Si-heon might be a good idea. After all, you’re like siblings. There’s advice that only men can give each other.

Siblings… Siblings.

My fist clenched tightly, filling with strength.

“Alright. I’ll ask him. Can you, just for that moment, turn off my consciousness?”

-Agreed.

I felt the need to be more proactive than before. My heart raced – once the emotions were allowed, they surged forward, unstoppable.

One statue. Two statues. My head is full. Oh my, isn’t this heaven?

– What kind of emotion is this…

“You don’t need to know, Heaven!”

To remain as a more precious tree in the statue’s heart.
Zodiac’s eyes were dyed in an exotic color.

* * * * *

“Even Heaven should sleep.”

There is one thing I’ve learned while living here briefly.

From the moment I nailed it to the tree, my life became terribly twisted.
Nothing ever worked out the way I wanted. Even when it came to relationships with women.

I finished my dazzling introductions at the tournament, and now I was wondering if I could finally stretch my legs and sleep.
Zodiac must have felt deeper emotions from me than I had anticipated.

“I used magic again.”
“Yes.”

Zodiac’s innocent smile was like the early morning sunlight, as always.

Recalling how I managed to put the monstrous Baekdo and Cheondo to sleep with that innocent smile, I steeled my resolve.

“…Is it because of that?”
“Yes.”

Such a straightforward answer.

Hwangdo, closing the distance one step at a time, smiled with her eyes and leaned back with her hands behind her.

“I was well aware that you have many women… But honestly, even I’m not sure.”
“About what?”
“Jealousy.”

Has she always been this assertive?
Hwangdo pressed herself against me, her chest firmly against mine.
It felt as if she had already removed her underwear; the sensation of her nipples protruding through the fabric of her tights was quite pleasant.

“Why Baekdo…? Don’t you like me?”
“It’s not that I don’t like you.”
“But why did you sleep with Baekdo?”

Hwangdo interrogated me, putting strength into her arms as she held on.
The sensation of her chest pressed against me made my lower abdomen tighten.

“…You’re a pervert who gets aroused by anyone. If I take charge, will you stop sleeping with Baekdo?”

“I don’t understand why you keep mentioning Master White Peach. You know very well that day was a mistake.”
“I don’t know about that.”

A small head nestles into my embrace. I can feel Hwangdo’s trembling lips both on and beneath my skin.

“Anyway, we slept together! Everyone else manages to do it. What am I supposed to do when my heart feels torn apart just thinking about sleeping with White Peach?”

Should I call it a battle of nerves between sisters? It seems like such a complex emotion.

“Since then, White Peach has always been thinking about that situation too. Imagine how I feel constantly sensing that.”
“…I didn’t know that. If White Peach finds out, she will scold you terribly.”
“Again, again! The White Peach story!”

Who initiated the conversation about White Peach, yet why are they covering my mouth?
I could feel Hwangdo’s determination not to let the White Peach story escape my lips.

Hwangdo’s face lifts, and our eyes meet.
Her eyes are somewhat clouded and teary. It didn’t seem like her words were driven by the atmosphere.

“Can’t you just focus on me among us?”

I had a feeling I knew what she meant. For a long while, I kept my mouth closed and looked at Zodiac. Her eyes were filled with anxiety, causing her to tremble fiercely.

‘This…’

Though there were many issues at hand, I had continuously pushed aside the matter of women’s affairs.

Honestly, the concept of polygamy was beyond my comprehension. Se-Young would probably say it didn’t matter.

However, even someone as kind as Zodiac felt this way; who would truly enjoy being with another woman?

A resolute decision was required now, at least to prevent problems from arising later on.

-Gulp.

My saliva painfully went down.

I began to speak slowly.

“Sister.”

“Mm…”

“Don’t cry. So, you’re saying that you like me… That’s what it means, right?”

Nod. Nod. Nod. Nod.

She nodded her head with great fervor.

“I like Sister Hwangdo too. Honestly, who wouldn’t like someone like you? Kind and… sincere.”
“…Really?”

Everyone around me is too good for me.
As Lee Se-Young said, my nature must be trash.

Although I think it’s not right, sorting out relationships… honestly, it was difficult.

-If I’m okay with it, why are you refusing? You don’t have the right to veto.

The voice inside my head, my inner teacher. Lee Se-Young pressured me like that.
As the saying goes, if it’s hard to give up, it’s right to accept. Let’s admit what we need to and move forward.
On one hand, I feel more at ease, but on the other, I feel uncomfortable.

Changing one’s values isn’t easy.
In a way, it’s the romantic dream of men, but I’m unsure now. Perhaps once I adapt, I might be laughing and calling it paradise.

“I have no intention of stopping any woman who comes my way. You know what I mean, right?”
“…White Peach too?”
“There are no exceptions. It’s the same for you, Sister.”

He spoke dismissively, like utter garbage.
No, from the moment he said that, he was confirmed as trash.

Lee Se-Young was right, Hwangdo was right, and White Peach was right.
This person was a flirt.

So far, his actions could be perceived as a complete manipulation of others… no, it was akin to managing a vast forest. Including the World Tree and hundreds of other trees that had been subdued in the dungeon, it was essentially a 300-acre forest.

“…”

Hwangdo remained silent.
Her downcast eyes brimmed with anxiety and a touch of disappointment, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.

“I can satisfy you instead. More than before.”

Hwangdo’s eyes gradually widened.
A brief paragraph of text flashed through her mind.

– Older sister and younger sibling slave play.

The sexual fantasies of these women were beyond extraordinary.

“Ah, seriously.”
“…?”

Slave play. Do I really have to? I’m not sure.

There was no other choice.

Sighing, I changed my expression and tone.

“What are you doing? Not undressing?”
“Do, statue?”
“You said you wanted to be devoured like a dog.”

Hwangdo was taken aback by my sudden change in attitude and stammered, her eyes soon softening.

“Ah… ♡”

As I tightly clenched her chest, a moan of pleasure flowed from Hwangdo’s lips.

“Ugh… Ugh”

A tone laced with pain.

Her face was increasingly marked with arousal.
I grasped her ample buttocks and slid my fingers between the crevices. They were soaked.

I halted my hand.

“What do you want?”
“…Huh?”
“I can’t disobey you. If you want to be with me from now on… No.”

Hwangdo had a better idea.

“Just strip, you slave girl.”

This was effective now.

“…Do… Do?”
“You don’t even need a choice. Just be a slave. It’s the most comfortable.”
“Ah, ugh…! Wait, a bit gentler… It really hurts!”

The inside grows ripe and moist. The harsher the words, the more the eyes brim with affection.

“Sculpture… really? Ugh! The tip… a tantalizing twist. Ah…”

A peach falls from Hwangdo’s head and rolls across the ground. Droplets of water trickle beneath the peach, forming a puddle.

“Enough! I’m serious right now.”

Sometimes, the body is more truthful than words. That was certainly the case here.

“Really?”
“Really!… Truly.”

Hwangdo’s favorability has been increasing since earlier.

“It’s too late. We came here to do it anyway. We’ve even put Baekdo and Cheondo to sleep.”
“…That.”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll keep going until you say you do.”

Gasp, Hwangdo swallows her breath. The sense of anticipation was not just a feeling, but an undeniable fact.

I pressed Hwangdo down onto the floor and made her lie face down. As I pulled her pants down and exposed her buttocks, steam rose from her soaked, glistening vagina.

Unfastening the waist belt, the sound elicited a response from Zodiac, who spewed water from her lower mouth.

“Ah… stop-“

To satisfy Zodiac. To prevent myself from suffering women’s issues later on. Though it felt like a drastic change, now was the time to imprint my situation upon Zodiac.
