Chapter 120 – 119 – The Peeping Woman, The Wounded Woman, The Child-Adult Woman (1)

With the firm belief that I couldn’t show the little ones such an embarrassing sight, I quickly used magic to wash myself, change my clothes, and came out.

Diana and Irian were sprawled on the bed, snoring away without a care in the world. It was annoying, but wasn’t it all because I was too strong of a man?

My powerful virility had knocked them both out… it was almost scary. The powerful physical abilities combined with my fearsome Neo Jet Armstrong Cannon were creating such synergy.

Diana and Irian’s combination had been persistent, but in the end, I was the one who won. Mwahaha!

“Papa. Are you okay?”
“Huh? Of course, I’m okay. Why do you ask all of a sudden?”
“Your face… your face looks like you’re about to die.”
“……”

I glanced at my reflection in a mirror I made with magic, and… there was a gaunt, skull-like figure that looked like it could collapse and die at any moment.

Oh, oh, I see. No wonder my head was spinning and I had no strength. What happened to my face? Where did my good looks go? My skin was rough, the bags under my eyes were like a panda’s, and a man who looked several years older was standing there!!

…Damn it, those nasty girls.
Thinking of the two women sleeping soundly with their smooth faces, I ground my teeth.

If I knocked one down, the other would climb on top, and if I barely managed to knock that one down, the other one would recover and climb on again. Where else would you find such a cowardly tactic?

As a result of my struggle against the cowardly tag-team of Diana and Irian, justice finally prevailed. It was a Pyrrhic victory, but… what’s important is that I satisfied both women, right?

Yeah. I may have lost my looks, but I protected my pride as a man. That’s a relief…

“Oh, right. Okay, let’s all go out. Diana and Irian… they had a hard time, so they’re sleeping now. Let’s go out quietly~ okay?”

Karsilla and Emily’s small heads nodded, which was so cute that I stroked them. For some reason, they glared at each other.

Hmm? Is it a child’s jealousy?

“By the way, Karsilla. Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah.”

During the previous rampage… or something like it, she was clearly in her teenage form, but after spitting out the sealing stone, she became small again, like a child.

Personally, I like her current form because it’s cute and familiar… but is she okay?

“Is there anything different? You have to tell me even the smallest things, don’t hide anything?”
“Um. Ummm.”

Karsilla frowned and pondered, then opened her small hand and released magic on it. What was visible was a beautiful sight of a small hand sparkling in purple, but the ferocious magic within sent shivers down my spine.

“Wow. It’s pretty. Can I touch it?”
“Emily. If you touch it, your pretty hand will get hurt? Your skin will peel off, you’ll get blisters… no, what am I saying. Anyway, it’ll hurt. Okay?”
“Yes.”
“……Tch.”

Wh-what was that?
Karsilla’s displeased face and the way she clicked her tongue were unfamiliar.

My Karsilla isn’t like this!! Give me back my safe haven!!

“Hmph.”

Emily, not wanting to be outdone, snorted at Karsilla… somehow, the two of them didn’t seem to get along.

“Did… did something happen between you two? Did you fight?”
“Karsilla is a baby. She doesn’t know how to fight.”
“……”

For some reason, Emily’s expression of disgust was very vivid. …Wasn’t this kid 10 years old? Kids these days are so mature.

As I observed Karsilla’s magic, which was scattering sparkling purple light, I could feel the flow of ferocious but controlled magic.

“Karsilla. Do you remember everything that happened?”
“Yeah.”
“So, you learned to control your magic then?”

Her eyes darted around anxiously, so I quickly stroked her head. Yeah, what’s so important about that? As long as she’s safe.

I took the two girls to my room. …Wait a minute. I’ve been sleeping with Karsilla since she was even younger, so that’s fine… but should I make Emily sleep in my room too?

As I hesitated in front of the door, Karsilla tapped my waist with her small hand.

“Huh? Why?”
“Hurry. I’m sleepy.”
“Emily is sleepy too.”

In the end, I ended up giving my bed to the two girls. It felt like they were glaring at each other… Nah, it couldn’t be, right?

“Un!ni! Good night.”
“……You, you too.”
“Yeah. Emily is going to sleep well.”
“I’m going to sleep well too.”
“I’m going to sleep first, okay?”
“I’m already asleep.”
“Liar. I can see your eyes moving.”
“Koo.”
“Eek!”
“Koooo.”
“Kooooo.”

……What are these two doing? Are they getting along, or not?
I was tired, but after watching the two children’s angelic faces as they fell asleep facing each other, I quietly got up.

I was exhausted, but I couldn’t put it off.

Walking through the dark hallway was quite scary. Even though it was a temple where God was said to reside, and even the main temple of the central order of this world’s religion, the primal human fear of darkness didn’t just disappear.

Above all, real ghosts actually appeared in this fantasy world. In reality, ghosts weren’t proven to exist, but here, ghosts sometimes appeared and bewitched people, so the human fear of real terror was bound to be even greater.

‘Sh, shibal. A temple at night is scary.’

I’ve always hated ghosts, but maybe because those two madams sucked all my energy out of me, the atmosphere of the dark temple felt particularly chilling today.

‘…No. This isn’t just a feeling.’

It was probably because I was exposed to Karsilla’s magic. The magic of a demon stimulates primal human emotions. Especially since the owner of the sealing stone that influenced Karsilla was the lord of the guy I was going to see now.

The owner of the inverted pentagram and mystery, the Archduchess of Witches.

Following the increasingly gloomy path, I finally stood in front of a heavy iron door. I released the seal that was emitting a faint light and entered, revealing a staircase leading down to the basement.

The staircase was like the entrance to hell, with a black maw gaping open. As I went down, a chilling cold rose up, making me realize that the underground prison was no place for a person to be.

I created a ball of divine power to light the way and went down the stairs for a long time. I had to pass through another iron door wrapped in a faintly glowing seal before I could finally meet her.

“Long time no see, Lilith.”
“Oh my. You’re finally here? You’re later than I thought. It’s not very polite to make a beauty wait so long in such a cold and dark place. I didn’t know you were this kind of man, Yurian.”
“Hmm? Late? I think I came too early. It seems like you haven’t fully recovered yet. I guess I’ll come back next time. Bye.”

Clang, clang.
Lilith, dragging her heavy chains, quickly approached and stuck herself to the cold iron bars, shouting.

“I’m sorry! I was just talking nonsense because it’s so hard here! Please don’t go!”
“……”
“I really don’t want to be here! It’s too cold, dark, and lonely!! So please, let me out!”
“Hmm.”
“Please!!”
“Now you’re ready to talk. Then… shall we talk? We have a lot of things we didn’t finish talking about last time.”
“……R, right. What should I tell you first? My favorite position?”
“I’m leaving?”
“I’m sorry, I won’t mess around again!”

She’s such a funny one.

* * *

“Haa, haa.”

Cha Hyewon glanced back.
Thankfully, there were no signs of anyone following, so it was time to catch her breath.

Leaning against the wall, the coolness of the stone wall cooled her heated body. Her heart was still pounding so hard that it felt like it would burst out of her chest, and her flushed body wouldn’t cool down easily, so she kept fanning her face with her hand.

“Ugh, seriously. I thought I was going to get caught. If I had been caught there, it would have been so embarrassing, embarrassing, super embarrassing. Why are those little kids wandering around at this time of night?”

She grumbled and rubbed her back against the cold stone wall. When she pressed her neck against the wall, the meeting of her heated body temperature and the cold stone wall sent shivers down her spine.

“I’m finally alive.”

Maybe it was because the tension had eased, but the scene she had just witnessed came back to her mind.

That shocking sight of a flesh-colored feast. The lewd smell that made her body heat up was still lingering at the tip of her nose, and the moans of pleasure were constantly replaying in her ears.

She thought her hot body was cooling down, but the shocking sight of the live porn that was on infinite repeat caused her body temperature to rise again and her face to flush.

“Ugh, what is this, what is this, oh my god. Huh, geez. Ha! Seriously. I knew I was a pervert, but really… who the hell rolls around with three people? Are they crazy? No, that pervert is one thing. But what the hell are those women? Do they want to do that? What are they lacking that they’re so obsessed with one man… Ha! They’re not in their right minds. They’re all crazy.”

She spoke loudly on purpose, but the instinctual urge in the corner of her heart was unavoidable. Cha Hyewon glanced around cautiously, then carefully lowered her hand.

“……Crazy. I’m crazy, Cha Hyewon. You crazy bitch. You’re out of your mind. What is this?”

The wetness she felt in her crotch. It was a delusion… no, she hoped it was a delusion, but she even checked with her finger, and there was no way this sensation was a delusion.

She got wet… just from watching that? Ha… who is calling who a pervert here?

“……Ugh. Hup!”

Following the instincts of her heated body, Cha Hyewon, who was unconsciously rubbing with her finger, jumped up in shock.

The hot, sticky liquid that was smeared all over her finger.

“I’m really crazy. It’s not like I’m going through puberty, what am I doing?”

She looked around to see if anyone was watching, then wiped the liquid off her finger on the wall. The lingering heat made her feel a sense of self-loathing as she even had the absurd thought of grabbing anyone and having sex.

Embarrassment, absurdity, self-reproach, self-loathing. Thanks to her self-hatred, her heated body cooled down rapidly and she became depressed.

“I don’t know what I’m doing. If people at work knew I was chasing after a man, how surprised would they be? …Ha. If I had known this would happen, I should have dated some of those decent guys who liked me. What was so important about that damn virginity? What was so important about that damn first love? Seriously… why is it making me so miserable?”

She wiped away her tears and got up.
Don’t weaken. You’ve made it this far.

Even though this world was a pain in the ass, she had struggled to get this far. She had overcome the dirty NPCs who tried to take her body, and the attacks of the dog-like NPCs and monsters who tried to take her life, and she had made it this far… she couldn’t give up.

Her parents, friends, and colleagues were waiting for her at home.
She could even accept the calls from the men who used to annoy her now. She never knew she would regret the past when she had ignored all that delicious food because she was on a diet.

She missed the small but precious everyday life that she hadn’t known back then. The loneliness and isolation that she had tried so hard to ignore and disregard.

After meeting Yurian, how much comfort she had received just from the fact that there was someone who could remember and share the modern world with her. How relieved she was when she realized that he, who seemed to have adapted well to this world, also couldn’t forget the modern world.

But why did she feel so empty? She knew that he had feelings for those NPC women. And she didn’t care at all.

But… seeing him look like he was truly in love in front of her… an unbearable sense of loneliness washed over her.

“…Ha. Right. Since when have I relied on others? Get a grip, Cha Hyewon. Even if I’m alone… I can try to go back on my own.”

Even if Yurian decided to settle down here, there was nothing she could do. He would just make his own choice. So, don’t weaken. No matter how lonely she was, she wouldn’t rely on others and would try a little harder.

Wiping away her tear stains, Cha Hyewon gritted her teeth.
