14. How lewd, what are you doing?
Unless there’s something wrong with my ears or my brain, I can’t possibly misunderstand what the nun just said.
What “exchange of bodily fluids,” what “becoming one”? The first requirement posed by this goddess you’ve taught us, for couples wishing to receive her “blessing,” sounds bizarre from any angle! Just a moment ago, I was wondering why there was such a large mat beneath the goddess’s statue today; turns out it’s meant to serve as a “battlefield”!
Should I also praise you, Miss, for your incredibly thoughtful and considerate arrangements?
Compared to Ke Fei’er, who only reacted after a moment and immediately turned her face away in embarrassment due to Ura Xilu’s unembellished words, I was quick to let go and try to pull Ura Xilu back.
“Wait a moment, Sister! Isn’t there something a bit off about the first ‘preparation’ you proposed to us!?”
I wanted to open the door, but it was surprisingly well shut, and the script even indicated the next action of the Sister.
【Ura Xilu is locking the door.】
“There’s nothing inappropriate about the content; perhaps I was just too direct. So… please, the two of you should engage in some activities that normal couples would do when alone. Once everything is over and you both confirm your feelings for each other, please knock on the door to find me.”
As the Sister outside spoke, she also “thoughtfully” provided us with “assistance,” “Additionally, the church is a sacred place, primarily for tranquility, so I will isolate your voices. From now on, you need not worry about any sounds being heard outside. Now, please fulfill the goddess’s request.”
【Ura Xilu has muted the sounds coming from inside the room.】
The script appeared, and the Sister outside fell silent.
I wanted to ask Ke Fei’er to disregard this strange request and quickly force the door open to rush out, but…
I wanted to be a virtuous gentleman, but… I didn’t know how much Ke Fei’er believed that Sister’s nonsense… and she didn’t seem to want to be a pure maiden anymore.
Looking up, Ke Fei’er’s stiff and awkward movements left me at a loss, and everything around us fell silent. The silent allure beneath the girl’s silence inevitably captured my gaze, pulling it directly to her body.
For these past few days, I had been avoiding any direct physical contact with Ke Fei’er. After all, until the side effects of the “forbidden fruit” wore off, I feared I would truly struggle to maintain restraint. After all, even if I couldn’t remember the process of “some things” that happened with Ke Fei’er, I could never forget them. Just a glance, and I couldn’t help but think of that night of “that day.”
These matters, even if I silently recited “form is emptiness,” were of no use. Not to mention, recently, due to Nilu’s forceful intervention, it wasn’t just me; perhaps even Ke Fei’er felt “stifled.” When the thoughts hidden deep in my heart found a reasonable opportunity to emerge, they would inevitably… come out, right?
When I came back to my senses, I found that Ke Fei’er had already taken my hand, almost dragging me toward the mat.
“Ke, Ke Fei’er, this is outside, you know.”
“!”
Ke Fei’er blinked, as if she had regained a bit of clarity, but… it was only a “bit.” Her gaze drifted away, as if she wanted to bury her now flushed and shy face like an ostrich.
“But… this is the ‘preparation’ for receiving blessings, right?”
“W-where is there such a form of ‘preparation’! Don’t believe that Sister’s words…”
I managed to muster the last bit of sanity I had left to utter some words of refusal. After all, it was truly unsettling; no one wants to be in a situation with their wife and suddenly look up to see the smiling face of a goddess, right? It would be enough to cause a functional breakdown!
“Anyway, the sounds here can’t be heard outside. We can just play it off later, okay?”
“……”
Though Kephir remained silent, she neither refused nor nodded. At this point, I didn’t know whether to say that Kephir was a bit too “shy” or that I was a bit too “cowardly.” In such a delicate moment, my mind was taut with restraint, and I naturally had no time to look at the script. However… since I could somewhat see through Kephir’s thoughts, there were indeed… solutions.
I didn’t stop Kephir’s next move; after all, in this situation, “doing the deed” would be rather strange. But just a bit of ordinary ambiguity was more than enough to set the atmosphere!
As I welcomed the girl’s embrace and kiss, could it be that our relationship finally had a “substantial” breakthrough? This time, we no longer felt as awkward and dry as before, and in the end, both of us were panting, giving in. Our gazes intertwined, and for a moment, I even forgot to care about the existence of the “goddess-like” figure.
To prevent Kephir from “continuing,” and also to share some words I had to tell her sooner or later, I thought: now would be the most suitable moment. After all, the nun had said, “I hope we confirm our attitudes.”
“Kephir, in the church here, I still haven’t found the self-disciplined fairy.”
I pulled slightly away from Kephir, but the girl was unwilling to let the distance grow, immediately leaning in closer. Helpless, I had to slightly turn my face, lest my words be inevitably blocked by her moist lips as I spoke.
“And besides, all I see is danger—of the saintess, of mine… and possibly yours in the future. Sorry, this time there might not be anything good, only places where I’ll trouble you.”
“Idiot, protecting you is my hope, not a trouble.”
Her enchanting smile didn’t last long, and Kephir reluctantly continued, “But your attitude towards Nilu is a bit too vague.”
“It’s not a matter of shared goals; there’s nothing I can do…”
At this point, I couldn’t possibly turn against Nilu at this moment; the cost would be too great. So…
“I will confirm my attitude towards you at this moment, so… promise me one thing, Kephir, regarding Nilu…”
“Ugh… I really don’t want to agree. But since you’ve said that…”
Kephir seemed to be lingering, clearly waiting for something.
I understood, I understood; don’t even mention the cost—I’d give you everything, principal and interest.
The distance shrank to zero again, and the forgetful actions made me too lazy to think about what would happen next. I didn’t even dare to be sure whether we would end up truly “doing it.”
However, just at that moment…
[Clang]
The door swung open, and the expressionless nun, Urasiru, barged in!
“Have you two completed the ‘exchange’?”
That emotionless voice, capable of putting one into a sage-like state, made both me and Kephiel jump back from each other!
Exchange? What the hell are you talking about! By the way, even if we really did “exchange” something, isn’t your timing a bit condescending, Miss Nun!?
“…What are you two looking at? Exchanging bodily fluids—saliva is a type of bodily fluid. While I wouldn’t oppose another type of bodily fluid, it seems… you might be misunderstanding something?”
Misunderstanding? What the hell are you talking about!!
I hurriedly chased after Kephiel, who had panicked and fled due to the “exposure of her lewd thoughts”!
“It seems I don’t need to confirm your feelings for each other.”
“Confirm my ass!”
I’m starting to suspect that you’re just messing with us on purpose, Miss Nun!
