Episode 132
"So the tits fairy can do it now too, right?"
"Yeah. There aren't many talents who can titfuck standing up."
I spread my semen over Epe's tits with my hand.
"Ahh……♥"
There was something satisfying about rubbing and dirtying up her tits.
As I fondled Epe's breasts, she swallowed hard while staring at my erect cock.
"……."
I grabbed Epe's horns.
Epe looked at me and smiled lewdly, as if she'd been waiting for it.
I wanted to grab her horns and fuck her from behind just like this.
There was no hesitation, as if I'd decided to do this long ago.
I practically knocked Epe onto her stomach, then pressed my cock against her raised, plump ass.
"Ah……!"
Pulling on Epe's horns, I inserted my cock into her pussy.
Even after all I'd done to her, it was still wet and soft, squeezing me tightly enough to move me.
That ass looked like it had been born to be fucked from behind. The curving line running from her lower back made my cock throb as hard as if it might burst.
With her horns in my grasp and her upper body arched backward, Epe ended up shaking her tits back and forth every time I pounded her pussy.
Maybe it was because she was short, but I loved how easily I could reach out and grip her horns like handles.
"Hyaat. Yes! Hyooh! Ah…!"
Gripping her horn handles, I focused on thrusting into her pussy while rocking my hips.
I put my strength into it, slamming my flesh against her ass again and again.
Even from behind, I could see Epe's tits shaking in all their naked glory.
I liked that.
I kept ravaging Epe without letting her go until I came inside her pussy four times.
"Oh! Hoooh……! Yes, hih…… Ohgok…!"
I pulled out my cock.
Epe seemed too exhausted even to hold herself up. She lay flat on the floor like a frog, her legs spread wide as she panted.
The mass of semen I'd pumped into her was clumping together and slowly flowing back out of her pussy.
"Ahhe……. L-Lord……♥"
Now I felt ready to hear what Epe had to say.
I'd sweated so much that I desperately wanted a bath.
I was especially tired today. It was probably because I'd had to pay such close attention while training her.
It wasn't something I could do often.
It had only been possible because my opponent was the goddess who had invaded Eight-Colored Shell Castle.
Training that relied on tools was far too restricted by the limitations of the space.
And tying a woman up somewhere that monsters might appear at any moment was simply insane.
But just as an unusual dish was sometimes more enjoyable,
I was glad to be able to tie up a woman again after so long.
I let Epe rest, then called her to the dining hall the next morning and sat across from her.
Needless to say, it was to discuss something important.
The first time I encountered Epe was at the entrance to the dining hall.
"H-Hello……."
Epe spoke hesitantly.
It seemed she was watching my expression, unsure of the proper etiquette when meeting me.
"Shall we go in?"
"……Yes."
We sat across from each other and sampled the course meal Elin had prepared, one dish at a time.
"How was the bathwater?"
I asked casually while eating the appetizer.
"It was warm and pleasant."
She seemed more at ease than she had been at first.
I'd left her aftercare following our intense sex to Bella.
Because of that, Epe was wearing Bella's clothes rather than the outfit she'd worn when she was the Goddess of Jealousy.
The outline of Epe's full, light-brown tits showed through the thin white fabric, and the sight aroused me.
They must have had quite a hard time finding clothes that fit her because of those breasts and her petite frame.
If Bella had a femininely ideal figure,
Epe's body had a more striking appeal, like Karen's.
It wasn't only her large breasts. She had curving hips following a slender waist, and firm, bouncy buttocks.
She was an alluring woman with healthy, light-brown skin.
And when it came to Epe's charms, one couldn't leave out the pair of horns resembling a mountain goat's.
Having sex while gripping her horns like handles had been a singular experience.
Thanks to turning Epe into a pussy fairy, I'd developed enough generosity to overlook most things.
Moreover, the information Epe was about to give me was my lifeline.
A clue I'd barely managed to obtain through the Starlight Shell.
There had to be information that would help me.
I waited calmly as I ate.
"There's something I need to say first."
She'd said that while I was training her.
That she had something to tell me.
"When this confession is over, please decide whether to kill me or take me in."
"Why would I kill you? You're my pussy fairy."
"……."
Epe's cheeks flushed slightly. Then she cleared her throat and composed herself again.
"I'll give you the conclusion first.
Lord Hyunwoo's death was my fault."
"Why was it your fault? I was stabbed to death by Seoyeon."
Seoyeon went mad because of the suggestion I'd planted in her mind, and I was killed by that mad Seoyeon.
It was the very definition of reaping what I had sown.
That was why, the moment I realized I'd truly died, I'd even laughed in relief.
But Epe must know those facts as well.
The fact that she'd brought this up anyway suggested there was something she wanted to tell me about a part I hadn't been able to investigate deeply enough during the interrogation.
Something she wanted to say about the story between Seoyeon and me.
"……I was the one who made Seoyeon kill you."
It was a new fact, but it wasn't surprising.
Considering everything I'd experienced while living with Bella,
the gods were constrained in their actions by something called the Heavenly Law.
Why had such a law come into existence?
For the gods, to toy with and kill a single human would probably be nothing.
But when beings of equal standing were involved, matters could grow far too serious if conflicts arose among the gods. It was reasonable to assume that the law had been established for that reason.
Bella had said she couldn't appoint an agent in a world another god was saving,
which also aligned with Epe using Park Seoyeon as her agent to kill me.
Epe's confession amounted to admitting that she'd been interfering in my relationship with Seoyeon for even longer than that, but honestly, it didn't matter much to me.
Unless she'd killed me by controlling Seoyeon like a puppet, it wouldn't have been strange for things to turn out that way even without divine interference.
My relationship with Seoyeon had been that thoroughly ruined.
I was curious about the means she'd used.
"How did you do it?"
"It's the power possessed by the Goddess of Jealousy. I interfere with people's minds and nurture their negative emotions.
Lord Hyunwoo had already been granted a destiny by another god, something called a Heavenly Lifespan,
but I used Park Seoyeon as my agent to forcibly twist it."
"……Hmm."
I realized my hand had stopped moving and resumed eating.
"Nothing changes.
Don't feel guilty toward me. Neither of us is in a position to do that."
What had already happened couldn't be undone.
Park Seoyeon had joined hands with Epe and come to this world, and there was no way to make that fact disappear.
Likewise, Epe, now a pussy fairy, couldn't return to how she had been before.
"But thank you for telling me."
"……I thought you'd cast me out after hearing this."
"Even if I did, you'd only die from the restriction. Wouldn't it be dangerous for you if you didn't at least pretend to chase after me?"
Epe silently nodded.
"You told me this because you wanted to stay with me, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"The past is over. From now on, you're my pussy fairy. Protect Eight-Colored Shell Castle together with Bella, and satisfy my sexual needs when necessary.
That's your new role. Understood?"
"Yes!"
Epe answered energetically, as if delighted.
"Do you have any advice concerning Park Seoyeon?"
"At the center of all Seoyeon's motivations is Lord Hyunwoo.
If you find a way to coax her properly, she might give up on fighting."
Persuade her with words. That was the first method I'd thought of as well.
It was far more realistic than subduing her.
But my opponent was a crazy woman. Could I really coax her that easily?
"What about the threats from the other side?"
"……."
Epe fell silent.
When I'd asked her questions, I'd planted a suggestion that she didn't have to answer if doing so would trigger the restriction and endanger her life.
She was carefully choosing her words now.
I continued speaking in the meantime.
"Honestly, I don't understand the current situation very well.
I don't even know who my enemies are, or what's happening around me.
That's why I need your help."
Without Epe's help, I couldn't reach the heart of the matter.
I didn't know how to work around the restriction without triggering it.
But if Epe could think for herself and give me clues without violating the restriction, the situation would change completely.
Epe spoke as if she'd made up her mind.
"I can't tell you. But I know who can."
"Who?"
"The god in charge of Lord Hyunwoo's world.
Ilesia, the Goddess of Light."
At last, the time had come.
Was it finally time for the noble goddess whose name I'd so often heard to appear?
"So I just have to find Ilesia and ask her?
But where can I find the goddess?"
Would I have to go around searching temples?
"She's already near Lord Hyunwoo."
"What? Near me?"
How near was she?
"I can sense traces of divinity touching Lord Hyunwoo's body.
It's different from Bella's, and different from mine as well. From this point on, I'm only guessing, but I think she's keeping a close eye on you."
"Ugh……."
As I'd suspected, I was being watched.
"But judging by the fact that we haven't made contact yet, I think she's probably neutral, even if not friendly.
She might at least listen to our questions."
"……That's a rather vague, optimistic assumption.
Can't you and Bella just storm in together?"
"The Goddess of Light is a third-grade deity. Though only partially, she also possesses the authority of creation."
In other words, she wasn't someone we could afford to mess with.
I had obtained a hint, but the important matter was still a mystery.
One thing was certain: the god who had ordered someone to kill me was not Ilesia.
The fact that Epe could speak regardless of the restriction supported that conclusion.
There was nothing for it but to confront her directly.
I had tried to avoid her as much as possible, yet it seemed I would end up searching for her instead.
If Epe was right that the goddess was near me, then the goddess would be in Melbrit.
It wasn't as though I had no one in mind.
The way to confirm it was simple.
If I hypnotized them one by one, I would eventually reach her.
It was fortunate that Ilesia was a goddess.
Hopefully, the other god would be a woman as well.
"I more or less understand.
I'll go see Ilesia. Thanks."
"Yes…!"
After finishing breakfast, I returned to Kepa.
Fortunately, our lodgings hadn't collapsed or anything like that.
The fact that I felt slightly nervous while traveling suggested that the destruction of the castle had affected me more deeply than I realized.
Well, I was back to normal now.
"Oppa!"
As soon as I came out into the hallway, I ran into Karen.
"Have you been well?"
Karen hurried over, beamed brightly, and looked up at me.
"Yes! What about you, Oppa? What happened?"
"Intruders broke into the castle, so I took care of it. I'm on my way back."
"Intruders?"
Karen's eyes widened in surprise.
"You should have let me help! I can fight, you know."
"Don't worry. It was taken care of. We have a new member. I'll introduce her when we get back."
"Okay!"
Perhaps they had heard us talking in the hallway, because Diana and Stia came out of the women's room.
"Dekal, welcome back!"
Then Aba emerged from the men's room as well, her hair sticking up as though she had been asleep until just now.
"Yaaawn."
"Dekal! Explain what happened. I didn't hear a thing."
Diana placed a hand on her hip and strode toward me in a threatening manner.
"Sorry. It was an emergency, so I couldn't help it.
But didn't Karen and Stia tell you?"
"I'm saying you didn't tell me directly. Directly!"
Were you my superior or something? Of course, I didn't say that aloud.
In any case, it was my fault for leaving in the middle of a mission.
"I'm sorry."
"……Hmm."
Diana turned her head away awkwardly.
"It's fine. I'm not angry.
Let's get ready to leave. We have no more business in this village."
Diana spun around and went back into the room. She seemed to be going to pack.
I looked at Stia and asked,
"Nothing happened?"
"No. Nothing happened on this side.
I think it's safe to say the village is secure now."
"That's a relief."
Now we could return to Melbrit without a single lingering attachment.
"Yaaawn. I'm going to wash my face."
Aba went back into the room.
"Karen and I will go speak with the coachman.
Could you prepare the bandits so they can be transported?"
"Sure."
As planned, we would send the bandits to the capital's enforcement bureau.
The village of Kepa had been tormented by bandits and had lost most of its functions,
and many of its people trembled at the very mention of bandits, so we couldn't leave them in charge of the matter.
Each of us finished preparing to leave for Melbrit.
I had only the bandits follow in a line behind the carriage.
Even at a slow pace, we would reach the capital in five hours.
When I climbed into the carriage, Stia said,
"Dekal. Don't we need someone to keep watch over the bandits?"
"It's fine. I have a solution."
"Okay, I understand."
The bandits had already been hypnotized, so they couldn't run away.
I had been wondering how I would explain it if she pressed me further, but there was no need.
We arrived at the capital around lunchtime and handed the bandits over to the enforcement bureau.
"Mmmmmm!"
I felt completely refreshed.
I stretched my body, which had stiffened from sitting for so long.
Would I be going back to school life tomorrow?
Thinking that I wouldn't be able to come into contact with women as I had just now left me feeling disappointed,
but I was even more eager to finish the job as quickly as possible.
"Before we do anything else, let's go to the student council and report."
We headed to the student council room in Melbrit's main building.
I thought that perhaps I might be able to meet the student council president face-to-face today,
but my expectation was disappointed.
Waiting for us in the student council room was Neris Rike, a lancer with an overwhelmingly large bosom.
Though my expectation had been disappointed, this was good in its own way.
Neris sat in the chair as the acting student council president, straightening her back as if to flaunt her enormous breasts while looking over at us.
"What is it?"
Suppressing with difficulty the feeling that Neris's sex appeal would make me hard, I said,
"We have returned after completing an emergency mission."
"……."
Neris rose smoothly from her seat.
