Chapter 817

〈 Episode 817 〉 Part 3, Chapter 1, Section 19: The Mad Romanticist

That moment.

“Huh, hahaha.”

The bald man sitting in the monitoring room chuckled while watching the farce on the monitor accompanied by classical music.

“Kid, there’s no way other than sex, right? I’ve set it up so nothing else works except for sex, got it?”

The bald man tapped the monitor to switch the image.

There, slightly blurry but visible, was a black-haired, green-eyed young man lying on a bed with a blonde woman beneath him, his arms crossed as he was lost in deep thought.

“Hey! Aren’t you going to do it?!”

“Mr. Chairman, that’s dangerous.”

“Hmph.”

The bald man scratched his head—or rather, his scalp since he had no hair—and smirked.

“Suntae, is everything set correctly?”

“Yes. I’ve configured it so the power of Chang-yeom only activates when semen enters the uterus.”

“That’s right. There’s no other way besides sex. Hehehe….”

The bald man giggled and took a sip from the cup in his hand.

“Yeah. Have sex with your wife, increase the number of wives, make public knowledge of this woman and that woman, sleep around left and right, eventually hook up with non-virgins and married women… until he becomes the typical haremic cliché protagonist!”

“Mr. Chairman, may I ask a question?”

“What is it??”

“Mr. Chairman, why are you so determined to lead Phoenix down the path of harems… like this?”

Ha Sun-tae couldn’t bring himself to say the middle word.

Effort? Obsession? Lust? How exactly should one describe this guy’s actions?

Yeah, resolve.

The bald man has an intense resolve to let Phoenix go around bedding whichever woman catches her fancy.

“Well, I also want to vent the frustration I’ve built up over the past year being around her.”

The bald man grinned bitterly and raised the plastic cup in his hand.

“It’s not out of pity or anything. I just hope she at least gets to have sex with Phoenix once.”

“With who?”

“With who? Who else?”

Gulp.

“The idiot who didn’t leave when told not to and would’ve already had kids by now if they’d stayed.”

The bald man sipped his caramel macchiato and shook his head repeatedly.

“After sleeping with about a thousand people, wouldn’t she be inclined to skip the 1001st time?”

“So, who is it?”

“There is someone. A pitiful soul.”

* * *

Permission for sex with Kinna-ra was granted.

Now, after having sex and completing the act, Kinna-ra will become a dual-elemental being with both Light and Fire attributes, equivalent to 20 years of Earth standards.

If the power of Blazing Phoenix manifests, though she might be denounced as a heretic, when chaos erupts and no one can suppress it, and Kinna-ra steps forward wielding Blazing Phoenix to quell the chaos, the story will surely change.

– Cough, our attacks don’t work!

– Why?! Why doesn’t the power given by the God of Light work?!

– Blazing Phoenix Revival, Kinna-ra Kick!

– Wha…?! That blue flame is stopping the chaos?!

– Embrace the Blazing Phoenix! Only with these flames can we protect ourselves!

Thus begins the Era of the Blazing Phoenix.

Everyone will embrace the Blazing Phoenix, and everyone will carry it within them.

And the method is for me to have sex with countless spirits and complete the act.

But…

“There will be no sex!”

It turns out sex isn’t possible!

Even though Shin-ra begs me to have sex, Seok Harang tries to seduce me gently, and Yuna attempts to charm me, my heart remains unshaken.

Well, it did waver a little.

As a human, when my wife suggested I have sex with another woman, my heart did flutter somewhat. In fact, with Seok Harang and Yuinah, I ended up doing the deed because of how shaken I was.

But now, even in Tera, they’re asking me to do it.

Let me clarify one thing: this isn’t a trap set by Shin-ra or any of my women.

For example…

– You guys told me to have sex with Kinna-ra, right?

– Eeeeek! Phoenix Sir’s penis is amazinggg!!

– Another disciple of the Flame added! …Huh? Why can’t I open the door?! Why am I being kicked out of the house?!

– Heh, looks like you ended up sleeping with another woman after all.

– There are people who’ve never committed adultery, but none who’ve done it just once.

– Once you start cheating, you’ll keep doing it, right?

– Honey!!

– If you really tell me to do it, what then?! Divine Blaze Cannon!!

– SHIN-RAAAAAAAAAA!!!

So, those planning for my soul to ascend as a puff of smoke into the heavens…they aren’t like that.

“What? Us? No way. Haven’t you suffered enough because of such things?”

“We’re not the type to do that.”

“Goddesses don’t lie.”

Indeed, they firmly denied my concerns and I fully understand their thoughts.

The reason they’re suggesting I try sex is simple:

– But you do enjoy sex, don’t you?

– Don’t you ever feel like having sex with someone other than us?

– Even though we always gang up on you three at a time, you still seem unsatisfied. You’re always out on the balcony looking at the night view, aren’t you?

They believe that having sex with multiple women is a good thing.

Since they can’t handle me alone, they think I still have pent-up energy.

By letting me have sex with someone else, they aim to make me happy.

In short, they plan to wear me down in Tera before pouncing on me—like debuffing a powerful boss.

Responsibility-free pleasure.

Let me indulge myself in Tera and come back mentally exhausted so they can take me down three-on-one.

– Don’t worry about pregnancy; get ready to fight!

Judging from the avatar settings where I’m afflicted with azoospermia as a Blazing Apostle, their intentions are clear.

Considering the 20-year rule and the fact that I haven’t had sex in reality, they think I should try it with someone else after having so much with them.

To put it simply…

– Are you going to eat galbi jjim, pork bone soup, and curry rice for every meal?

– Hey, try some pizza or pasta too!

– Even if you love something, isn’t it nice to try something different sometimes?

That kind of feeling.

And frankly, I’m not swayed.

Sex with Shin-ra is always fresh.

With Seok Harang, it’s the same, and with Yuinah too.

I’m already fully satisfied with sex involving the three of them, and I have no reason to sleep with anyone else.

Spirits of Tera?

Women I haven’t been with yet?

Not interested.

Why should I have sex with someone who doesn’t make me excited?

Shin-ra, Seok Harang, Yuinah.

With these three goddesses ready to satisfy me whenever I want, why bother with Tera?

If I feel sexually frustrated?

“Log out and have sex.”

In other words, there’s no reason to force myself just for show.

Even if sex is akin to a sacred ritual, what’s the point if the participants aren’t enjoying it?

My cock is already addicted to the goddesses’ vaginas.

At this point, even if I were to try S-Rank spirits, I wouldn’t experience true sexual bliss.

Sorry, Kinna-ra, but if I had to choose between ten years of sex with you 100,000 times or one session with Shin-ra, I’d pick Shin-ra and live sexlessly for ten years.

How could I possibly enjoy sex with Kinna-ra without trying it?

‘If I were even slightly attracted, wouldn’t my dick have risen by now?’

Since falling into this world,

I haven’t had a single erection.

You might say it’s because my avatar is a spirit, or that the system allows me to turn it on or off, but unfortunately, the performance of the Blazing Injector attached to my avatar is reliable.

If I were attracted, it would have risen, or my cock would have acted on its own.

But since coming to this world, the sights I’ve seen and the women I’ve encountered have filled me with disillusionment rather than arousal.

The first sight was Delphia’s spectacle, followed by witnessing a priest’s infidelity here, and then Kinna-ra spreading her legs after losing just once.

‘This is a bit…’

Having sex with residents of Tera feels like succumbing to lustful weakness.

There’s another reason, but if I talk about it, I’ll probably get scolded, so I’ll omit it from the evidence.

And one more thing.

If I must have sex under unavoidable circumstances, it will be with ‘her.’

This avatar in this world remains untouched.

It’s virginity.

Thus, I have an obligation to offer this virginity to her.

To the past Shin-ra, I will dedicate my virginity.

I will reclaim her virginity too.

Even if it’s Tera…

‘Shin-ra or no sex.’

I will absolutely not have sex.

Huh?

Then how do we increase the disciples of the Blazing Apostle?

There’s a way.

* * *

Harang felt tears of shame welling up.

-‘Buy ‘it’.

Phoenix ordered the disciple to buy ‘it.’ For a princess of a nation, asking someone to buy ‘it’ is truly shameful.

“Co, condoms please… extra-thin… large size…”

Having never bought them before, Harang obediently purchased what Phoenix asked for. Though overcome with shame, she couldn’t lift her face, but the shopkeeper merely nodded silently and handed over the condoms.

“Maybe with a maid, huh. Hmm, hmm.”

Harang immediately understood.

The shopkeeper assumed that her master wanted to use condoms during intercourse with the maid, Harang.

What would happen if the shopkeeper knew the partner was actually one of the Eight Great Spirits, Kinna-ra?

Harang rushed back to the dormitory as fast as she could.

Already on the bed lay Kinna-ra, completely naked and stretched out, while Phoenix, still fully clothed, merely extended her hand toward Harang.

“Condom.”

“Yes, yes….”

Phoenix received the condom. After briefly inspecting it, she slipped into the rented adjacent room.

A little later.

Tap, tap-tap.

“Eh… Princess? Can’t hear any sounds from the next room?”

“I-I can hear something. Surely it can’t be THAT, right?”

Tap-tap-tap-tap.

“……”

Harang was bewildered by the sounds coming through the wall. She exchanged glances with Kinna-ra, silently communicating whether it was ‘that.’

After waiting for quite some time…

“It’s done.”

He appeared holding the condom imbued with blue magical power. Inside the condom was a cloudy liquid.

“Now, I will infuse Kinna-ra with the Blazing Phoenix. Kinna-ra, spread your legs.”

“B-but, what is this…?”

“One question. When a male doctor examines the vagina for treatment, is that considered cheating?”

“W-what? That’s…”

Harang was confused.

Phoenix smiled faintly, put on gloves with both hands, and approached Kinna-ra while holding the condom.

“Operation name: ‘Pleasure-less Kuuuukk.'”

Phoenix nodded her head and pushed the condom she had prepared into Kinna-ra’s mound.

“I can’t deflower my virginity here for the sake of my wife.”

“……”

Madness personified.

Harang muttered to herself.
