Chapter 90: Sharing a Cigarette with the Nun - 2
The reason I told Vanessa about the curse of hypersexuality—which had absolutely no effect on me—was so I could officially take Adelia and Isolde as my wives.
‘Even so, keeping my mother-in-law and sister-in-law as concubines would draw too much attention.’
Of course, since this was the world of an erotic game, cases like this were not entirely unheard of.
There were crazy bastards who pulled it off even in the modern world, so how much more so would that be true here?
‘Incest happens all the time in country villages. Compared to that, I’m practically normal.’
But if I, who was currently having a devoted-love romance with Isabelle, suddenly took my mother-in-law and sister-in-law as concubines, it would obviously look strange.
So, as an excuse, I told her about the curse of hypersexuality that Aurora had playfully cast on me.
If I claimed it was a mistake caused by the curse, there was room for leniency.
Still, given the Church of the Sun’s emphasis on faithful love, they had no choice but to take some sort of measure.
‘I got chills when Vanessa brought out a chastity cage.’
Fortunately, the matter of the chastity cage fell through.
My dick was so large that I could not wear one unless it was custom-made.
‘I’m not sure whether I should call that fortunate.’
Instead, just as Isolde had, I would be staying for a while in an isolation room at the church.
"This is better than I expected. Now I understand why Isolde came out perfectly fine."
The isolation room was a little cramped, but honestly, its facilities were better than my in-laws’ house.
"Savior, is there anything making you uncomfortable?"
Kate’s face appeared beyond the window set into the iron door.
"No. More importantly, I’m counting on you to protect Isabelle again."
"Just leave it to me."
Kate often took responsibility for my in-laws’ safety whenever I was away.
Since she had half stepped away from her church duties, I could entrust the job to her without concern.
‘Reina is hopeless at this kind of thing.’
Perhaps because she had spent so long as a junior nun, Kate was also extremely skilled at housework. That was why Adelia welcomed her as well.
"And I brought what you asked for."
"Oh, thanks."
What Kate had brought were two lockpicks left behind by the bandits as belongings.
"Savior, can you really pick a lock with such crude things?"
"Yeah. I already picked it."
"What?"
"Were you originally a thief?"
"Not a thief. A hunter."
[Job: Thief (Lv. 1) acquired.]
"But I’m going to become a thief now."
. . .
"We will now begin the meeting concerning Ian’s curse."
When Vanessa introduced the agenda, Lucy, one of the senior nuns, shot her hand into the air and spoke.
"Mother Superior, according to doctrine, I believe we should castrate him."
Having confidently offered the answer, Lucy looked as though she expected praise from the older nuns.
Unfortunately, she received a scolding instead.
"Sister Lucy, there is no doctrine concerning the treatment of curses. There are merely records concerning treatment."
"I-is that so?"
"Please apply yourself more diligently to studying scripture."
"Aww, but I study every day..."
At Vanessa’s words, Lucy looked terribly wronged.
Having become a senior nun at the age of twenty-one, Lucy was talented even among nuns her age, and she worked just as hard as her talent warranted.
The problem was that she was being compared to Reina, a genius among geniuses.
"Mother Superior, how about using a virgin’s kiss?"
This time, Reina offered a solution.
A virgin’s kiss.
It was a miracle in which a nun kissed the wounded area to heal it.
It was an ancient miracle first used by the founding Saintess on the first Hero, but given the Church of the Sun’s emphasis on chastity, authorization to use it was not easily granted.
In fact, even the scripture written by the founding Saintess prohibited a virgin’s kiss unless the recipient was a Hero.
"No. That miracle is exclusively for the Hero."
"But Ian was chosen by Archangel Seraphim. Wouldn’t it be all right to use it on him?"
Vanessa considered Reina’s opinion for a moment.
Reina was right. Ian was a man chosen by an archangel. Even if he was not a Hero, he was an extremely important figure to the Church.
"Do we absolutely have to cure the curse?"
This time, Helen, the nun second in rank after Vanessa, voiced her opinion.
"As I understand it, the curse of hypersexuality does not interfere with a man’s daily life. I believe there will be no issue if his wives take good care of him."
Helen’s words made sense as well.
The curse of hypersexuality kept its target in a state of arousal twenty-four hours a day, but men had a refractory period after ejaculation due to their physical limits.
As long as it was managed steadily, it should not pose a major problem.
"I agree."
"It does bother me that he is taking his mother-in-law and sister-in-law as wives, but since Ian says he will take responsibility, I do not see a problem."
The other nuns also sided with Helen.
Rather than agonizing over a curse they could not cure, managing it as a second-best option was more efficient.
Still, it was not a particularly satisfying solution for Vanessa.
To her, a nun of the Church of the Sun, the very fact that Ian, who had received the Mark of Love, had been afflicted with a curse was disgraceful.
That was why she proposed an extreme method.
"What if we simply eliminate the witch who is the source of the curse..."
"Mother Superior, you know witch hunts are forbidden under the non-aggression treaty."
"They say Ian accepted the curse as part of a bargain to remove Miss Isolde’s curse. We have no justification for hunting the witch."
Objections naturally poured in.
After the Sacred Flame War, the Church of the Sun had entered into a non-aggression treaty with the Witch Queen.
Because of that, they could not rashly hunt witches.
Of course, it would be different if a witch had violated the terms first, but this was a legitimate bargain, so there was no issue.
More importantly, they needed to find whoever had dealt with the witch and placed the curse on Isolde in the first place.
"We understand your concerns, Mother Superior. But how about trusting Ian this time?"
"If it’s Ian, he will surely overcome this curse too."
"Considering Ian’s responsible nature, he will surely love his concubines generously as well."
Ian’s reputation among the nuns rose with each passing day.
It was partly because he served the church every day, but his actions had captured the nuns’ hearts.
Not only had he earned an archangel’s recognition to cure the curse afflicting his wife Isabelle, but this time, he had even directly bargained with a witch to remove the curse afflicting his sister-in-law Isolde.
The nuns could not help but like conduct that resembled the Hero from scripture.
"Ian seems to have become more handsome lately. That must be because of the Mark of Love too, right?"
"I’m not sure about the handsome part, but it is certainly true that things have become much easier thanks to Ian. Lately, there are even young people in the village who want to follow his example."
As a result, their trust in Ian was immense.
‘They know absolutely nothing about men.’
Vanessa had a headache watching her ignorant junior nuns.
‘I’m starting to wonder if I should give them sex education.’
Vanessa had watched countless male patients on the battlefield.
What they clung to with death right before their eyes was not salvation from Goddess Helia.
It was sexual desire—the base urge to leave their mark on this world.
There were, in fact, no shortage of men who assaulted nuns in order to reproduce.
A man’s sexual desire was not something he could simply restrain at will, which made accidents more likely.
‘It is even more dangerous for someone as virile as Ian.’
She did not show it outwardly, but Vanessa had been startled when she saw Ian’s cock.
It was the first time she had seen a dick that large, and as a virgin, Vanessa could not even imagine how a woman would feel with a man like that on top of her.
‘Will he be satisfied with three wives?’
Vanessa prayed that his faithful love would not crumble.
. . .
In [Kunoichi’s Circumstances], Sumire, the female lead, carried out various missions at the guild’s request. One of them involved stealing confidential documents from a merchant company.
Sumire was stealthy, as befitted a ninja, but picking locks was a thief’s domain.
She had to go through all kinds of trial and error because of it, but thanks to that experience, picking a lock with two lockpicks was child’s play for me.
"Finally found it."
While the senior nuns held a meeting over me, I thoroughly searched Vanessa’s room, and I was able to safely find the Goddess’s Hand Mirror.
‘It feels like the order got a little tangled up.’
Considering the contributions I had built up so far, I could have formally borrowed something like the Goddess’s Hand Mirror without having to steal and use it like this.
The problem was that the traits I possessed could make me look like a heretic to the Church of the Sun.
‘Should I have obtained Echidna’s Blessing a little later? No, then the timing for acquiring Soul Devouring would be far too late.’
Ultimately, my plan had gone awry because my conquest of Vanessa had stalled.
Recently, we had been growing closer by smoking together, but there was an invisible line between us.
‘It isn’t easy when I have so little information.’
Vanessa was a supporting character who made only a brief appearance in the prologue of [A Lewd Nun’s Circumstances], so I knew remarkably little about her. That made conquering her unlike conquering the other heroines.
‘I’ll think about conquering Vanessa later.’
I needed Reina’s help to use the Goddess’s Hand Mirror, so I returned to the isolation room.
A little later, Reina came to visit after the meeting had ended.
"I’m here~"
"Nothing happened at the meeting, right?"
"No. Everyone’s making a fuss about how much more handsome you’ve become."
"Really? Do I look more handsome than before to you, Reina?"
"Hmm? To me, you’ve been the most handsome man in the world from the very beginning."
"...Something is strange here."
Lately, I had often heard that I had become more handsome, yet I had also heard that I looked no different from usual.
The former came from Isolde, who had recently joined the heroines, and nuns who only exchanged greetings with me. The latter came from heroines who regularly had sex with me.
What exactly was the effect of the [Peerless Handsome Man] trait?
‘Well, I can confirm it with the Goddess’s Hand Mirror.’
The reason I had gone through the trouble of finding the Goddess’s Hand Mirror was to learn the information on two traits.
The [Peerless Handsome Man] I had obtained recently, and the [Yin-Yang Body] I had acquired after absorbing Big-Dick Herb and the White Flower.
‘It would be nice to learn the exact details of the Mark of Love too, but that will probably be impossible according to the setting.’
The Mark of Love was a trait personally bestowed by Archangel Seraphim.
It was not something I could probe using nothing more than a fragment of a mirror once used by a goddess.
"Just in case, I’ll check mine first."
"All right. Let’s see how you’ve grown while we’re at it."
"Mirror, show me my inner self."
When Reina poured divine power into the hand mirror, letters made of light appeared from its surface.
[Name: Reina / Age: 21 / Sex: Female]
[Helia’s Daughter]
[Reincarnation of the Saintess]
[Single-Minded Devotion]
Reina’s traits were no different from the game.
With one exception.
"Where did hypersexuality go?"
"What? Why would I have hypersexuality? It’s not as though I was cursed like you."
"No, not a curse. You were born with innate hypersexuality."
"Aww, what are you talking about? And look at this—my feelings for you!"
Reina showed me one of her traits.
[Single-Minded Devotion]
- She looks only at one man and wants to have sex with him very, very badly.
- After making love with that man, all her abilities greatly increase.
- The name of the man she loves is ‘Ian.’
"Now you understand, right? My sexual desire is directed only at you!"
"This can’t be..."
I was shocked by Reina’s trait, which was completely different from the game.
‘There is a way for the heroines to transcend their limits!’
At the same time, I was overcome with joy.
Because there were still methods of conquest I did not know about.
"I did well, didn’t I?"
Reina, who had been watching my reaction, did not miss the chance to ask for praise.
I fondled her breasts as I spoke.
"Later, I’ll do as much as you want."
"That’s a promise♥"
