After changing into a new set of clothes, the Virgin Saintess called Kail back into the room. Kail scratched his cheek awkwardly as he stepped inside.
“Sorry. I didn’t know you were changing…”
“A-Ah, no! I’m the one who should apologize for not confirming earlier…”
Immediately after, an awkward silence enveloped the room. The fact that the priest had been stark naked in front of a man within the palace, and at such an angle where her private parts were likely fully exposed, was an unbearably humiliating situation.
However, the saintess pretended nothing happened, trying hard to avert her mind from the incident—since ignoring it altogether was the quickest way to forget.
“Hmm… S-so, why did you come here…?”
“I came when I sensed you waking up. I’ll be more careful next time.”
“That’s… right.”
The bowed saintess subtly glanced at Kail’s lower abdomen. It was an unconscious action she wasn’t even aware of herself, but it also brought a slight sense of disappointment.
Kail’s lower region showed no signs of arousal, implying that he felt no sexual attraction toward her—a fact which equated to her burning body remaining unquenched.
‘W-What kind of outrageous thoughts am I having!?’
Realizing what she’d just thought about, the saintess blushed furiously. Her cheeks turned as red as her pink hair.
Seeing this, Kail tilted his head curiously. “Hey, are you feeling okay? Your face is red.”
“It’s… nothing at all…”
“Nothing, huh? But your speech is slurred. What’s really going on…?”
“Ha, Haugh…!”
Kail approached the flustered saintess and gently touched her forehead. Even this light contact made her weak in the knees, eliciting a soft moan as she began trembling.
Her forehead was hot, and her legs shook uncontrollably. Realizing something was wrong, Kail swiftly picked her up.
“Kyaaah!?”
“You’re burning up. I’ll call a doctor. Lie down for a moment.”
“H-Haah… No, please don’t…”
As he held her, his firm hands grazed sensitive areas like her thighs and sides. For some reason, these regions had become hyper-sensitive, almost like erogenous zones.
Though Kail only lightly touched her, the saintess’s body reacted intensely due to modifications made by the Apostle of Jealousy, Empress, who had possessed her earlier.
“Hyuuuuhh…!”
Her body convulsed.
Knowing about his wife, Kail recognized the saintess’s reactions immediately. This wasn’t normal behavior. Without indulging in the pleasure of easily exciting a woman with just his touch, he quickly withdrew and stepped back.
“Just hold on. I’ll bring a doctor soon.”
“Huuuuh… Hoooh… Hyaaah…”
“…She’s in bad shape.”
Leaving the saintess alone, Kail exited the room. Alone, the saintess felt an intense heat rising within her body.
It was as if actual flames were consuming her. In desperation, she tore at her clothes, unable to bear the heat.
“Haak! Haaaak!”
The room filled with steam as her body writhed. Waves of pleasure, fueled by the intense heat, crashed over her mind.
Though she knew pursuing pleasure was inappropriate for a priestess, her developed body couldn’t resist such urges, no matter how holy she was.
“Hyuuuuuhhh!”
Thus, she began consoling herself.
The room soon filled with lewd sounds and a scandalous atmosphere.
When the doctor Kail had summoned arrived, the scene remained unchanged.
“The saintess is in an emergency state… Kyaaah!? S-Saintess, what are you doing?! Everyone, leave immediately!”
“Huuuoh… Huuuoh…”
“No, one person should stay to help me! Containing her alone is too difficult…”
* * *
The doctor explained:
“She has nymphomania.”
“Nymphomania?”
“An excessive increase in sexual desire… It’s common among people who’ve been repressed.”
In other words, sex addiction.
Far removed from the concept of a pure virgin saintess.
But reality? The saintess lay tied down, asleep, because whenever she woke, she would uncontrollably engage in self-pleasure.
“Is there any way to fix this?”
“Her willpower and effort are crucial… There’s medication to suppress sexual desire, but it won’t work on the saintess.”
“Figures…”
Sexual desire is a natural biological drive. Suppressing it equates to killing a fundamental human urge—essentially poison.
Though humans use poisons as medicine, calling them drugs doesn’t change their toxic nature. Naturally, they wouldn’t affect a saintess blessed by God to prevent such trivial poisoning.
“Then what do we do?”
“To begin with… I don’t even understand why the saintess behaves this way…”
“I don’t either… But I’ll ask.”
Concluding the discussion with the doctor, Kail sought out Sera. Whenever he had questions about the game, consulting her usually provided some answers.
Especially since she was the first to discover the saintess, he had a hunch she might know why the saintess acted this way.
“Tell me again… What was the saintess doing the last time you saw her?”
“Yeah. Her current condition seems odd. Maybe the possession isn’t fully gone?”
“W-Well… Can we talk somewhere else?”
Indeed, Sera knew the reason behind the saintess’s strange behavior. But it was hard to believe.
“When I first found the saintess in the prison… She was masturbating.”
“…”
“Masturbation! You know, masterbating! Dildos and all!”
“But why would women…?”
“Oh, so women aren’t supposed to have sexual desires now? They do too!”
Embarrassed by being asked such things, or perhaps to protect the saintess’s dignity, Sera suddenly became aggressive.
Kail silently observed her outburst. After yelling a few more times, Sera realized what she was saying and blushed, closing her mouth tightly.
“Are you done?”
“…”
“Yeah. Though whether she masturbated or had sex… it’s none of my business. Hmm. You said the saintess was possessed by an apostle of the Evil God Cult, right? Could those actions be linked to that possession?”
“Probably… The more forbidden acts the saintess committed, the easier it was for the apostle to take control…”
Meaning the saintess’s current abnormal state stems from the Evil God Cult apostle’s possession—and there’s no way to reverse it.
Once stained, paper can’t return to its pristine state. No matter how much you clean it, traces remain forever embedded in the saintess’s body and memory.
“…Then what do we do?”
“Uh?”
“Isn’t it obvious? The saintess (聖女) has become a lustful woman (性女)…”
“That must be tough.”
“Sometimes, you’re genuinely scary, you know?”
Kail looked at Sera with a slightly disturbed expression. She tilted her head innocently, confused by his reaction.
There are moments when she feels distant. Like now.
Feeling a chill akin to encountering something non-human, Kail stood up and headed back to the saintess’s room.
“—I’m coming in.”
“Yes… Master…”
A weak, nearly lifeless voice greeted him. With pity in his eyes, Kail entered.
The saintess, bound at all four limbs, looked at him with a resigned expression. She resembled more of a captured criminal than a holy figure.
‘Is this right…?’
Since he could handle her if necessary, Kail untied the saintess. Regaining movement, she massaged her arms and legs before abruptly looking alarmed.
“…It smells.”
“Eh?”
“It, it smells like you. Please… stay away…”
With that, the saintess began touching her thighs nervously. Understanding her intent, Kail moved back slightly while scratching the back of his head.
No sooner had he done so than the saintess resumed pleasuring herself. Shocked, Kail quickly restrained her.
“No! Let go!”
“Calm down!”
“Release me! Let go, I said!”
Realizing brute force wouldn’t work, the saintess switched tactics, attempting to seduce Kail instead.
“Please, Hero… Take me. I’ve admired you since we first met…”
“…No. I’m married. And one more thing…”
Letting out a heavy sigh, Kail continued.
“I could temporarily relieve your passion by being with you, but I can’t permanently eliminate it.”
“Huh… Wha…?”
“I found out why you’re like this. The Evil God’s apostle who possessed you seems to have remodeled your body.”
“Wha… What does that mean…?”
“Exactly.”
Comprehending her future, despair flooded the saintess’s face. Kail delivered the final verdict.
“For the rest of your life, you’ll have to suppress this sexual desire.”
“Ah… Aaaah!”
Overwhelmed, the saintess lost her sanity and began ranting wildly.
