A stillness descended upon the intensive care room.
It was so quiet that the sound of leaves rustling outside the window could be heard.
Lady Virgin Saint’s light pink eyes widened in shock. With a look of disbelief, her gaze fell upon her own bosom.
There, my hand rested.
The flesh that changed shape with every touch possessed a mysterious sensation. A feeling of satisfaction that couldn’t be obtained anywhere else was present.
Lady Virgin Saint couldn’t even muster a proper voice. She could only blink her eyes and let out broken sounds.
“Eh, ugh, ah…?”
Regardless, I decided to focus on the heavenly sensation that I didn’t know when I might feel again.
It might have felt like touching soft bread dough.
After all, a lump of flesh without a single muscle is bound to be squishy.
However, the question remains, why does only a specific part of a woman’s body give such immense satisfaction?
Specifically, the curves of the Virgin Lady’s chest were excellent in both texture and quality. Beyond just feeling soft, it was a subtle sensation that made me let out a faint gasp.
It was incredible how such a soft feeling could be transmitted through clothing.
It was as if I were touching a soft, bouncy dough or fluffy clouds.
The sensation of the flesh overflowing my palm made me wonder about its limits.
So, I tightened my grip even more.
As I crushed her holy power pouch, Lady Virgin Saint sharply inhaled and bowed her head. I could feel the shiver that ran up her spine.
“Ah, mmm!”
The gasp soon proved itself true. The soft, supple texture flowing between my fingers made me finally smile in satisfaction as I loosened my grip.
“That was nice, wish. If there’s another opportunity, how about we make a little bet…?”
Lady Virgin Saint regained her senses when I had let go.
“Wha, wha, are you insane?!?!”
She shrieked, her face already blazing red.
Her eyes were even rimmed with faint tears. She looked incredibly embarrassed.
She tried to twist her body to shake off my hand immediately.
“Th, this is sexual harassment! You criminal! Do you even know how big this sin is of touching the Virgin Lady’s purity… Hnnn?”
However, her attempt was soon thwarted.
Because I had tightened my grip again.
Lady Virgin Saint immediately let out a faint moan and tried to push against my arm covering her chest. Her head drooped down on its own.
It wasn’t a bad feeling.
It was great that I now had a way to silence her whenever she got too loud.
I sighed and shook my head.
“Virgin Lady, you shouldn’t. Didn’t you say that you would grant any wish?”
“That, that has nothing to do… Mmmph!”
Lady Virgin Saint tried to grit her teeth and suppress a flushed moan but couldn’t.
Her light pink eyes glared at me furiously.
The more she did, the broader my triumphant smile became.
“Wasn’t there an agreement during the last attack? You promised to grant one wish when everything was resolved.”
Lady Virgin Saint eyes widened as if she just realized something.
Her glaring intensity lessened after a while of staring at me. She slightly avoided my gaze and muttered uneasily.
“That, that was… Hmmph…”
The sight of Lady Virgin Saint, interspersing sighs with excited breathing, was objectively lewd.
Frankly speaking, her very body was sensual.
From her beauty to the smooth curves of her body, there wasn’t a single part that didn’t excite a man.
Truly, a body full of sin.
If theology students from the academy were to turn to the Dark Cult, the main cause might very well be the Virgin Lady.
That’s how captivating she was. The once untouchable flower on the cliff was now looking at me with a moist gaze.
Even her light pink pupils seemed to carry subtle desires.
As if enchanted, I thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of her bosom and smiled wickedly.
“Aren’t promises supposed to be kept? Excuse me for a moment.”
With no words to counter, Lady Virgin Saint could only shoot daggers at me with her gaze, full of embarrassment.
Scathing remarks flew every once in a while.
“Ba, baka… Hmph, trash…”
Of course, every time that happened, I would tighten my grip, and Lady Virgin Saint would immediately fall silent, her body trembling.
By this point, even I couldn’t help but notice the odd atmosphere.
Lady Virgin Saint’s panting became increasingly sweet. Her light pink eyes looked at me with a hint of pleading.
Actually, each time I teased her, it was somewhat intentional.
Upon reflection, I had crossed a line.
The fortunate thing was that, contrary to appearances, the Virgin Lady didn’t seem particularly angry.
It was evident that deep down, she was enjoying it.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t quietly accept a situation where she could easily escape. Irritated by this realization, I gave her bosom one final squeeze.
At the unexpected shock, the Virgin Lady’s pupils wavered momentarily.
“Kyaa?! Ung, hmmmph?!”
The arm supporting her chest stiffened as if electrified, and her thighs instantly tensed.
Her breathing came in ragged gasps. A faint spasm soon swept over her body.
Panting heavily—haaa, haa—the Virgin Lady caught her breath.
It was about time to let go, but the sad instinct of a man gave me a fleeting moment of hesitation.
So, I failed to react in time.
The door to the room opened silently.
Neither the Virgin Lady nor I, lost in the heated moment, noticed. All we heard was something falling with a soft thud.
Startled, both our gazes turned towards the door.
There stood a girl with brown hair wearing a hooded hat. A fruit basket, presumably a gift, dropped, and apples and pears rolled across the floor.
It was Senior Elsi.
Her blue eyes began to tremble violently. As the Virgin Lady and I were too flustered to speak, Senior Elsi hastily pulled her hood down over her face.
“Shi, sorry for intruding…”
And with that, Senior Elsi quickly turned around and dashed out of the room. We didn’t have time to utter any excuses.
Her retreating back looked particularly pitiful. It seemed as if a faint tear drop scattered in the air at the very end.
Silence descended again, though it didn’t last long.
With a slap, the Virgin Lady hit away my hands. Before I could react, she was already fixing her clothes and glaring at me.
Her eyes, clouded with shame, anger, and an indistinct emotion, were still tinged with faint excitement. Eventually, the Virgin Lady averted her gaze in frustration.
A small voice, thick with embarrassment, followed.
“Y-you startled me. Next time, at least say something…”
With a flushed face, the Virgin Lady finally lowered her head and rushed out of the room.
I sat there dumbfounded for a while before tilting my head.
“Next time, at least say something”?
So, was she implying there would be a next time?
After musing with a hmm, I chuckled.
It would be troublesome to entertain such unnecessary fantasies.
Even if it were true, there was nothing I could do. After all, I had too many assignments awaiting me.
The heavy burden of saving the world.
If I couldn’t lighten that burden someday, making promises about the future with anyone would be irresponsible, I thought.

There were many more events afterward.
Even after completing the discharge procedures and leaving the temple, the Virgin Lady would always lower her head blushing every time she saw me.
She was so overcome with embarrassment that she couldn’t even exchange proper words.
However, during my treatments, I did feel as if the Virgin Lady’s body was subtly sticking to me. Of course, I brushed it off as a delusion.
She had no reason to act that way.
The Virgin Lady’s body was a gift from the Heavenly Deity, a treasure of the Holy Kingdom treated with reverence. There was no need to contact mere strangers with such a body, was there?
Nevertheless, the fact that my hands temporarily trespassed on such a body was somewhat exhilarating.
Anyway, I was able to pass the discharge day without incident.
There had been numerous visits during my stay, and there were also a few acquaintances waiting for me outside the temple.
Unexpectedly, Lady Lupeisia was among them.
It was surprising that she, whose limbs had been severed because I slapped Emma’s cheek, had come to see me, given our prior animosity.
Apparently, helping her when she was attacked by the monster had created an interesting connection.
I extended my hand to Lady Lupeisia with a wry smile.
The girl, who had been staring at me with disdainful eyes, finally hesitated and grasped my hand, saying,
“…Congratulations on your discharge.”
“Thank you.”
The conversation did not continue.
After all, we were not close enough for further dialogue.
Just as I passed by Lady Lupeisia, she asked me one question.
“By the way, have you gone to see Emma?”
“…?”
My inquisitive gaze fell upon Lady Lupeisia. I had originally planned to visit her before returning to my hometown, but if she felt the need to bring it up, there must have been a reason.
Lady Lupeisia hesitated for a moment before sighing and shaking her head.
“…Never mind, try to go see her as soon as possible.”
What a bother, I thought while passing Lady Lupeisia, but deep inside, I did resolve to visit Emma as my new goal.
And another interesting point was that Senior Elsi was not among the crowd celebrating my discharge.
She hadn’t been seen since witnessing that certain incident between me and the Virgin Lady.
It had been only about two days, but during this time, Senior Elsi had not appeared before me once. I had been inwardly lamenting about it.
Fortunately, someone approached me then.
Ru Pin.
Senior Elsi’s little brother, and someone I was connected with through a misfortune.
He was glaring at me with a fiery gaze.
“Y-you, I-an Percus…!”
The trembling voice clearly conveyed his anger. Of course, I had no idea why.
Why is this guy acting like this?
—
Fortunately, someone approached me at that moment.
It was Ru Pin (Neutral), Senior Elsi’s younger brother and a mutual misfortune acquaintance.
He was glaring at me furiously.
“You, I-an Percus…!”
His trembling voice clearly conveyed his anger, though I had no idea why.
“Why is this kid acting like this?”
