Chapter 64 – Diana (1)

Leaving the merchant and Merosi behind, I walk along the path the enemies came from. I need to find Irian and Carsilla, but I can’t search this entire vast forest. If they come within my detection range, I’ll be able to sense Irian’s divine power, but they ran off in the opposite direction from the start, so I don’t know how long it will take.

Still, Irian wouldn’t be defeated by those guys who are also quite manageable for priests like me or Diana. Since he took Carsilla with him, it’s safe to assume they’re not in great danger. With his combat power and agility, he would cut down any enemies blocking his way and escape in an instant. Irian in danger? I can’t even imagine it.

“Yurian, you don’t look well. Are you okay?”
“Ah, yeah. I think I used too much divine power.”

I could have overwhelmed the mage with divine power, but that greasy guy… Albert or whatever his name was, was unexpectedly strong, so I had to squeeze out my divine power. It was a battle right after dealing with the mage, and I fought a mage with divine power that isn’t suited for combat, so it doesn’t mean he’s stronger than me just based on this result… but it’s certain that his skills are beyond expectations.

Where did that guy come from? If Diana hadn’t been there, I really would have been captured. Diana also pushed her divine power quite hard, I wonder if she’s okay.

“Are you okay? Why did you use such a high-level divine magic so recklessly? You should have taken it easy.”

The magic to summon a combat angel is a high-level divine magic that is difficult for us to use. Naturally, Diana’s complexion is also pale, and it’s clear that her divine power is depleted.

“Yurian, you’re pale too.”

Well, I’m in the same state, so what can I say? I tried to overwhelm them with divine power and ended up depleted. Who knew that pervert would be so strong?

▷ Are you okay? What’s the situation?
▷ We found your group and are protecting them.

The translucent letters appear before my eyes. The whisper from Cha Hyewon has eased the faint anxiety I had left. As expected of Irian. He escaped well.

▶ Are my kids okay?
▷ They’re perfectly fine.
▷ They’re making a fuss about having to save you.
▶ We’re okay too.
▶ Let’s not wander around looking for each other and meet in Huran City.

Ugh, I’m tired. Hearing that my kids are safe makes me relax and feel exhausted. I’m already suffering from exhaustion due to divine power depletion, so I should rest for a bit before moving.

“Diana, let’s rest for a bit.”
“……? Now?”
“You and I are both depleted of divine power. We’re too exhausted to even walk, so we should rest.”

Diana tilted her head slightly, but as I leaned against a tree, she sat close to me as if she had been waiting for it. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since it was just Diana and me. Since we started traveling, there hasn’t been any time for just the two of us. When was the last time we sat like this side by side?

“Are you really okay? …I’m worried about Sir Ian and Carsilla.”
“They’re both fine. Don’t worry and rest well.”

I reassured her, thinking that she was worried about the kids, as expected of kind Diana… but her eyes look strange.

“…How do you know?”
“Uh, huh?”
“How do you know they’re okay?”
“W-well, how would I know… Ah! I, I felt it in my heart, you could say?”

I can’t meet Diana’s gaze as she stares at me intently. Why do I feel a chill down my spine? Our kind and cute Diana can’t be this scary!

“Liar.”

Thanks to being on high alert, I barely managed to hear it. Diana’s very small murmur. …Liar? Of course, it’s a lie, but… is she angry because of that?

“Hey, Diana. The reason I’m not worried about them is… as you know, Ian’s combat power is monstrous. Since Ian is protecting Carsilla, I’m not worried.”
“……You were worried until just now.”

……I thought I was hiding it well, but it was impossible to deceive Diana. She must have seen through my slight worry. Even if I trust Irian’s skills, there’s no way I wouldn’t be worried. Just like I encountered an unexpectedly strong enemy, I can’t help but worry that my kids might be in an unexpected situation.

I thought the shoulder touching mine was warm, but it feels a bit hot. Is it because of the heat? Why am I sweating so much? I subtly straightened my leaning body. As soon as I did, Diana moved closer again.

“Liar. Are you avoiding Diana now?”
“N-no. Why would I lie to our Diana, why would I avoid her? I like you so much. You believe me, right?”
“…Liar, liar, liar. You keep lying.”

Gulp.
A strange pressure makes me swallow involuntarily. A drop of sweat that trickled down stung my eye, but I couldn’t even blink under Diana’s terrifyingly fixed gaze, and I had to desperately string together excuses.

“Diana, a lie? I like our Diana so much, why would I lie? Absolutely not.”
“You said you like me. You said I’m the best.”
“Of course! Absolutely.”
“Why do you keep lying? Do you not like Diana anymore? Don’t you like me now?”

Diana’s expressionless face was strange. This is too… strange. Has Diana ever been like this? The Diana I know was… always kind, cute, and gentle. What is this now?

The familiar-looking girl felt unfamiliar today.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Diana so anxious. And it’s the first time she’s felt so eerie. Am I… scared of Diana?

It felt difficult to meet Diana’s piercing gaze. Normally, if I had soothed her this much, Diana would have given in, but why?
This… this should work, right?

I barely moved my unmoving body and kissed Diana’s lips. The warmth of her lips was still there, but her silent gaze was so unfamiliar. Why isn’t she closing her eyes? Why are her lips pressed shut? Why?

“…Diana?”
“……I don’t like it.”
“Huh? You don’t like it?”

It was shocking. Diana… said she doesn’t like it. Could it be that she’s been forcing herself to like it all this time? …No, that can’t be. How many times has Diana asked for it first?

‘No. What if she knew what I liked and pretended to like it while enduring what she didn’t like?’

Diana is smart. She’s very bright and has a cunning side. If she knew what I liked and forced herself to do it… that would be really miserable. No, right? Surely… no, Diana?

“I don’t like it if I’m not first.”
“…Whew.”

I let out a sigh of relief without realizing it. First. That was it. Diana has been like this since she was young. She always wanted to be reassured that she was always my top priority, and after that, she always had a satisfied look on her face.

“Of course, Diana is first. Why are you like this when you know it? Huh?”
“Liar. Liarliarliar.”
“…Diana?”
“You always lie. Is it because of this?”

Huh? I could only stare blankly at Diana’s hand that suddenly grabbed my crotch. I didn’t understand what was happening, and I was staring blankly when something pushed my body away.

“It’s my fault. I couldn’t manage it… I should have released it every day, but I didn’t, so it’s like this. Right? Is it because of this?”

Thud, I fell to the ground and stared blankly up at Diana. An expressionless face. Diana… is making that face at me. Did I do something wrong? This kind girl is angry at me?

“I’m sorry, Yurian. I’m sorry. I should have released it every day. It’s my fault. I’m sorry. Huh? Sorrysorrysorrysorry…”
“N-no! Diana! There’s nothing to be sorry about, so calm down. So… what… what do you mean by releasing it?”

Diana’s expressionless face lowered slightly. Her gaze, which had been fixed on my face, lowered to my neck, chest, stomach… and then stopped at my crotch.

“Look at this. It’s already hard.”
“Ugh!”

Diana’s upper body, sitting on top of my fallen body, tilted slightly, and before I knew it, her familiar hands were caressing my crotch.

“It’s because of this. It’s because of this… that Yurian keeps looking elsewhere. Right?”
“L-looking elsewhere? Diana, I think there’s some misunderstanding… Hup.”
“Liar.”

A sense of crisis overwhelmed me at the pressure of her tightly gripping hand. The gripping force and pressure I felt in my, my pocket… she, she wouldn’t be trying to crush it, would she? Of, of course, I could heal it with healing magic… but it’s too scary. I think I’ll get trauma.

“You’re making it hard even now. Huh. I know. Men can’t control it, right? It’s because Yurian can’t control it here, right? I know.”

Her grip loosened slightly, but I couldn’t open my mouth due to the pressure still felt in my precious area. Diana’s muttering, with her gaze fixed on my crotch as if she had autism, sounded eerie.

“So, I don’t hate Yurian. I don’t like it when you lie to me, but it’s because of this. Huh. Diana doesn’t hate Yurian. It’ll be okay if I just squeeze this out. That’s why I squeezed it out every day. It’s Diana’s fault. It’s because I haven’t been releasing it lately that Yurian has become strange.”
“…Diana? You, you released it every day? What are you talking about?”
“……Huh?”

I swallowed hard as I looked at Diana’s innocently blinking eyes. …Could it be. No way. Nah, it can’t be. ……It was a bit strange sometimes.

Like the strangely sticky crotch when I woke up in the morning, or the sticky liquid on the bed or blanket. …No. Carsilla is here too, there’s no way. It must be my imagination.

“Diana. Tell me honestly. What did you mean by that just now…?”

The hand that had been pressing on the object slowed down and then stopped. I didn’t avoid Diana’s gaze as I looked at her for a moment. Suddenly, Diana smiled brightly.

“Yeah. I released it every day so that Yurian wouldn’t become strange.”
“……H-how?”
“At night. When Yurian is sleeping. With my hands and mouth.”
“……L-like, like you’re doing now?”
“Yeah. But now Yurian has to be punished. Instead of my mouth and hands… um. Then I’ll have to do it with my feet.”

……It was shocking. What did I just hear?
Every night, she gave me a handjob and blowjob? Good heavens. What on earth is Diana doing… Huh?

“See. It’s because I didn’t release it that Yurian became strange. It’s getting harder even when I press it with my feet. Diana will fix it. Eek. Eek.”
“Ugh! Uhuk! W-wait, hup! D-Diana.”
“Yurian has to be punished. Like this, like this. Diana will fix it.”

Wh-what is this? It’s just her pressing with her feet, but why does it feel so good? I don’t know when she took off her shoes, but Diana’s white feet were wiggling on my crotch. Her tiny toes wiggling… are, are cute.

“F-feet are… a bit….”
“No. Yurian has to be punished more.”

Diana, who had completely turned to face me, placed both of her feet on my crotch, and the moment I swallowed hard, her white soles began to move slowly.

Diana’s dainty feet moved again on my crotch. Just pressing and rubbing, but I felt an unusually intense pleasure. …Did I, did I endure it for too long? I, I don’t have a foot fetish, do I?
