Chapter 473 – Mary’s Cake

The kitchen was filled with the sweet scent of sugar and vanilla. Amidst the bustling sounds, Mary, wearing a white apron, was struggling with her whisk.

“Ugh.”

Using a wrist snap, she went tap, tap, tap. Mary, who used to make cream without an automatic whisk, put down her tool and hurried to her laptop to read the words displayed on the screen, one by one.

“Mix egg yolk with butter, milk, and sugar to taste. Huh? To taste? How much should I add? Hmm…”

Contemplating with her chin in hand, Mary snapped her fingers and a lightbulb seemed to turn on in her head. Climbing onto a chair with her short legs, she retrieved a bag of sugar and poured it forcefully into the bowl.

-Swoosh!

A cascade of powdery white snow blanketed the cream.

“The sweeter, the better, right?”

Mary’s surprise event was taking shape. Since she was allowed to visit Bam in the evening, she should be permitted to enter the bedroom as well.

Today was a day Lee Si-heon didn’t have to work. Mary decided to prepare a sweet dessert for him, knowing he was always worn out from his demanding job.

“Heungheung, heung~”

Humming to herself, she generously spread the freshly made cream onto the pre-baked bread. Sweet cream atop warm, vanilla-scented bread! The branches above Mary’s head quivered with excitement.

“For decoration, strawberries and chocolate~”

Not the small, misshapen strawberries, but the largest and juiciest ones. She also prepared high-quality Ferrero Rocher chocolates wrapped in gold foil. And what else could she add? Pondering for a moment, Mary plucked a leaf from above her head and placed it on the cake.

“Hehe♪”

Mary crossed her arms and let out a satisfied snort. It was her first attempt at baking, but the result was splendid. Imagining Lee Si-heon’s praise, a grin spread from ear to ear across Mary’s face.

Now, to put this in a bowl – and it’s complete! Holding the bowl containing the cake, Mary left the room without even thinking to remove her apron.

“You’ll enjoy it, right?”

Short Mary hopped around.
It was a bit late for dessert, but Lee Si-heon would savor it so much that neither would notice if one of them died.

At the end of her slow steps, Mary arrived in front of Lee Si-heon’s room.

“Hehe.”

She could already picture Lee Si-heon’s face, shocked and falling down in surprise.
He would be really startled, right?
Giggling, Mary placed the bowl near the flowerpot and peered through the crack in the door.

– My love…

At that moment, a faint voice came from inside the room.

– My love, my love. Ah, uh-huh…

Mary frowned.
What on earth were those two doing behind her back?
Grasping the doorknob tightly with her small hands, Mary focused her gaze a little more on the gap in the door.

The World Tree of Healing was straddling Lee Si-heon’s body as he lay down.

“…What are you doing with your clothes off?”

The World Tree of Healing, completely undressed, shook her waist with the hem of her skirt in her mouth.

Should I describe it as a shaking motion?
While spinning around, the waist was bent diagonally, repeating downward thrusts.

-Ah, aah…haang! My lord…! My lord!

Each time the waist lowered, soft cries began to emerge.

Mary, who had been observing, blinked her eyes. She subtly turned her head and glanced at the cake dish.

‘Cake. If I don’t eat it now, it’ll lose its taste.’

It was when she turned her gaze away for a moment.

-Huuh!?

Once again, the healing moans echoed.

Startled, Mary attempted to scream but covered her mouth with both hands. For some reason, she felt she shouldn’t be caught and was deeply concerned about the actions of the two.

She had seen so many naked bodies in the bathhouse before…
Why did the healer sweat so much?
And why did they make that strange sound?

‘No, more importantly. This is too much. Cutting in so shamelessly!’

Mary clenched her teeth, puffed up her cheeks, and brought her eyes back to the gap in the door.

All that was visible were Lee Si-heon’s legs and the large, round buttocks of the World Tree of Healing. Due to the healing motions, reminiscent of pounding rice in a barn, Lee Si-heon’s face remained hidden.

‘…Move aside.’

Mary silently pleaded with the World Tree of Healing. For now, she wanted to see Lee Si-heon’s face, regardless of what the two were doing.

– My lord… my lord. My looord…

Thwap, thwap, thwap.

A large hand firmly gripped the World Tree of Healing’s buttocks.

– Aaaah!

With another scream, the World Tree of Healing’s waist gave out, causing her to topple forward. Lee Si-heon embraced her.

As her buttocks rose once more, a thick, blood-engorged pillar of flesh came into view. Slick with a transparent fluid, it was being thrust into the World Tree of Healing’s urethra.

– Aaah!

How bizarre.

‘…Gasp!’

Mary swallowed her breath. It felt like she had seen something she shouldn’t have. Withdrawing her gaze from the gap in the door, Mary leaned against the door and covered her mouth with both hands.

*Thump thump.*

Mary’s eyes widened as large as the night.

‘What is this, what is this, what is this?!’

She had seen Lee Si-heon’s naked body before, but it hadn’t looked like this.

‘No, it was supposed to be in that position. Much smaller than that… In other words…’

Mary glanced at her wrist. Yes, it was about the thickness of this wrist. She didn’t know what it was for, but she had found it intriguing nonetheless. But what she just saw was almost the size of a leg… like a thigh.

How could that fit inside a belly? Mary unconsciously looked at her own lower abdomen.

– Ugh… Ugh♡

Sweetness was added to the voice. It was sweeter than the cake she had made. Mary swallowed her breath and looked again at the gap in the door.

It was strange.

Yet she couldn’t help but watch.

‘……’

Gasping, Chi-hwa held her waist while she embraced Lee Si-heon’s body.

The World Tree of Healing caressed Lee Si-heon’s sturdy body at her whim, exhaling heavily. It was impossible to gauge just how excited she was.

Her roots, sprouting from her healing form, were swollen and taut. Some roots had bound Lee Si-heon’s body. As if they would never separate, the two, connected with infatuation, continued their back-and-forth motion centered around that large rod.

“…Huh.”

Mary swallowed her saliva. Her body and face burned. Clasping her thighs together, she encircled her lower abdomen and stared intently at the World Tree of Healing.

‘Will she notice…?’

Long ago, Mary had been scolded by Lee Si-heon. If someone seemed to be in her room, she should wait a bit and come in when she was alone. She shouldn’t sneak a peek or anything like that. Mary had always abided by Lee Si-heon’s words, and so she felt guilty about what was happening now.

– Ohh…!! Ahh!

Her heart pounded.

Despite the promise she made to Lee Si-heon, Mary couldn’t tear her eyes away.

The World Tree of Healing trembled, her waist bent.

Her chest felt uncomfortable, as if something had been removed, leaving it hardened. Her body was slightly warm and itchy. Mary clenched her lips together.

‘…What is this feeling?’

In her gently outstretched hand, a breast that fit snugly into her small palm was grasped.

“…!”

A dizzying sensation washed over her in that moment. Mary shuddered, raising her shoulders.

“Huh?? Uh…?”

Mary, 31 years old, became aware of her sexuality.

* * * * * * * * * * *

This was a mess.

“Seobang-nim~ Hehe. It’s Seobang~♡”

She had told him to do as he pleased, whether it was bossam or anything else, but she never expected that he would actually act against the king.

‘What an appearance… resembling a church nun.’

All she excels at is healing and devotion.
I frowned and gazed at the one fawning beside me.

“Do you like me as well?”
“…”

The World Tree of Healing’s skin was brimming with luster.
The slender branches and roots had grown significantly larger and taut, and those aroused roots were ensnaring my legs and body.

A situation where I couldn’t break free even if I wanted to.
Of course, her body wasn’t solely composed of wood.

The human-like healer knew how to skillfully utilize the soft flesh of her body.
She had placed her thighs on my belly and her lower abdomen against my waist, fawning like this, just as I was observing her.

“Ah… Sir, sir!”
“Why do you keep calling me?”
“It felt so good that the chloroplasts trembled.”

She pulled my face towards her and nestled it in her chest, exhaling a heated breath.

“Can’t we remain like this for the rest of our lives?”

“Do as you wish… If you work diligently, nothing will be beyond your reach.”
“If it’s what you say… Anything. You are the one who saved me… I believe there must be a reason for everything.”
“Indeed.”
“Healing wounds is my power. I take pride in my ability. Even if you get hurt, I can heal you.”
“Yes… That’s true.”

I reached out and grasped the healer’s wrist.
A green light flickered from the healer’s hand, accurately placed on my groin.

“Please, can you not use this wonderful ability for something like this…?”

Powers are consumable.
Just as I did not use the power of “Sturdiness” to increase the rigidity of my erection, I needed to conserve this person’s healing ability.
There was a patient named Camellia, and now, when trying to revive the dead land, her abilities were all the more necessary.

“… Do you dislike embracing me…?”

The scent of grass and soil wafted through the air.

“Yes.”
“…!”
Honestly, the healer’s eyes widened in surprise.

It’s a painful admission, but it’s tolerable when it comes to this particular individual.

“Even if you dislike it, you still embraced me… You must truly adore me. I love you, Seobang-nim!!!”

Just look at this. He frequently interprets things his own way and acts accordingly. Pretending to be pitiful or sad is merely a tactic he employs to ensnare me, and this is the reality. Whether it’s his mouth, vagina, or buttocks, everything only comes to an end when he is satisfied.

“I need to start working soon. Could you please move aside?”
“…Then, Seobang-nim, you should hold me yourself.”
“Fine.”

Pat, pat. The comforting touch on his back reaped the rewards of a satisfying healing. After about nine hours, I extricated myself from his embrace, changed my clothes, and left the room.

-Squeak.

“…Hmm?”

Upon stepping into the hallway, I was greeted by the strong scent of milk.

‘Cake?’

Lowering my gaze, I spotted a plate of cake. Awkwardly perched on the edge of a flowerpot, the cake’s crude appearance belied its precarious position, as if it could topple over at any moment.

Who could have given this as a gift?
Though it appears this way, it might still taste good.
I used wind magic to slice the cake and placed a piece in my mouth.

“Ah.”

It’s incredibly sweet.
I quickly determined who had made it.

Gu-seul is exceptional at general household tasks… Cotton and patience hold no interest. There wasn’t any time to make something like this while indulging in healing.
In this faction, there’s only one person who can’t cook despite having a kitchen large enough to do so.

“…Hmm.”

Why did they simply leave without mentioning this?

Carrying the cake, I proceeded to the building where Dongbaek was sleeping.

-Boom!

Upon opening the door, Dongbaek stirred.

“…You came?”
“Yeah. You seem alright today?”

The blanket’s state was fluffy, indicating no mischief had occurred.
I placed the cake on the small table and poured water into Dongbaek’s mouth first.

“…I was extremely thirsty.”
“It’s going to be better now.”

“It’s so noisy…and what is this smell? It’s fishy.”

Do blind people have a heightened sense of smell? To erase the traces of the ordeal, I fed her a bite of the sliced cake.

“Oops! Um…?”

Camellia, flustered as something entered her mouth, soon started chewing.

“It’s tasty…but why did you give me this?”
“Is it delicious?”
“It’s the first time I’ve tasted something like this in my life.”

Could her taste be somewhat peculiar? I didn’t touch the magical circuit near her mouth.

“Then eat more.”
“…Yes? Really?”

Since Mary made it, I also ate a few more bites. Camellia… She really seemed to enjoy the cake, munching away.

“Why would you give me something so delicious…?”
“I’m just giving it to you.”

Thinking of everything as political is a mistake.

‘What’s with the chocolate on top?’

Ferrero Moksha?

‘Seriously.’

I never want to resemble this sense of naming.

“Open up.”
“Yes.”

I placed the chocolate in Dongbaek’s mouth and ate a strawberry myself. I thought I should express my gratitude later.
