*****

Unlike the workshop, which was lined with various things, the inner room had a simple layout with only a bed-sized altar in the center. The old man took the money bag from me, told me to wait a moment, and headed somewhere with a smile.

If this were a scam, I would chase them to the ends of the earth and slaughter them. At some point, I felt mana, and a magic circle gradually began to appear around me. Since this is an alchemy effect that I have seen in games, my confidence level has slightly increased.

Yes, money comes back when you earn it. If the job is done properly, I am willing to leave the fair price later rather than get it back. As I was thinking about the future, it wasn’t long before the old man came back empty-handed.

“I guess I’m ready. Yes, Miss TS. What kind of curse did you have to come here?”

“… Have I ever told you my name?”

“There is no one in this city now who does not know the names of their wife and children. If you stop by anyone on the street and ask them, 9 out of 10 people will know. Don’t talk nonsense, just answer questions.”

Well, I was quite conspicuous as I was only wearing a gi-like uniform with a sword hanging on it. Most other adventurers are wrapped in armor. It’s not clear right now, but thanks to the red hair, it won’t be hard to recognize.

But setting aside how you knew the name, whether you can tell the truth is another matter. If it were a woman, she would have said it without much hesitation, but the other person was a man, even if he was old. I felt resistant to revealing everything about the tentacle suit.

After a short period of thought, I decided to hide the truth.

“It’s a curse that makes it impossible to disarm the equipment. No matter how much I try, I can’t take off this inner robe.”

“Hmm, I see. Then, please take off all your clothes except that robe.”

“Yes!? Clothes? … Why?”

“Why are you so surprised? Normally, only the equipment should be placed on top of this. That way the magic can penetrate well. But you said you couldn’t take your clothes off, right? Then, we need to remove even a little bit of impurity.”

I was shocked when I was suddenly told to take off my clothes, but after listening to the old man’s explanation, I felt like it was true. It’s like lifting your clothes when taking an X-ray at the hospital.

Of course, there is a world of difference between an X-ray that only takes a moment and an X-ray that takes quite some time. If I failed to do something like this, I would be in trouble, so I decided to quietly take off my clothes.

Since the dress is like a leotard, I thought it wouldn’t be that embarrassing if you think of it as a swimsuit. Taking my clothes off in front of other people was a completely different feeling from swimming.

Like when you turn your coat inside out and take it off. Like when you pull down your underpants. Even if it is emphasized just a little, you can feel explicit gaze on your chest or buttocks.

Well, I don’t know that it’s a man’s instinct. I hope that older people will show a little more self-respect.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“What are you doing!?”

fault. While I was feeling a bit uncomfortable gaze, a hand suddenly reached for my shoulder and I reflexively slapped it away.

However, perhaps because I was surprised, it took a bit more strength than I expected. By the time he thought it was a mistake, it was already too late and the old man was holding his hand and groaning.

“Keueuuuu… !”

“Oh, sorry──”

“What on earth is this?! I was just trying to check the target of the curse!”

Currently, I cannot take off my robe. However, based on that alone, I cannot clearly tell whether the robe is cursed to not be able to take it off, or if I am cursed to not be able to take it off.

If it is the latter, it would be possible to remove the equipment by someone else’s hands. The old alchemist went on a rampage, saying he was just trying to check it.

“Same as before. Why do you ask why you need to take off your clothes? Do you think I’m thinking something strange? If I thought that would be the case, I would have poured at least a little medicine right away!”

“Sorry… .”

“I’ll skip this time, but next time, if you cut off the swordsman’s spirit again, I’ll return the 30 gold, so you can figure it out!”

To be honest, I thought that if it was something like that, you should explain it first. But in any case, it is true that there was a clear reason for the other person’s actions. And it is true that I misunderstood the other person’s intentions.

In addition, I was pushed by the angry old man, and when I came to my senses, I found myself apologizing.

“I’ll check again, so stay still.”

“… … .”

The same thing happened just a moment ago and there is no way I can refute it. I had to stand still and just look at the old man’s hands touching various parts of the robe.

The straps over the shoulders were better, but the old man had turned the leotard over inside the cleavage and even behind the hips. As for the last one, I don’t know how nervous I was about seeing tentacles.

Still, I didn’t take any further action, as if the confirmation wasn’t a lie. When he confirmed that if he tried to remove the robe for more than a certain amount of time, he would be forced to return, the old man nodded and pointed to the altar.

“Next time, come here and lie down. Put your hands away. Do not close your legs tightly, but spread them shoulder-width apart.”

“Yes… .”

After lying down, the moment I was about to cover myself, the old man gave me instructions. The dress itself was tight to the body, so I was able to expose my chest, pelvis, and the lines between my legs.

Now that it’s like this, if you’re going to see it, you’ll see it. With that feeling of semi-despair, I closed my eyes. Regardless of whether that old man has an ulterior motive or not, he won’t be able to do much anyway as long as Hae Joo is his name.

My prediction was only half correct. Clearly, the old man did not do anything more insidious and began the examination. The problem is that there were people here who could do nothing special.

“… !?”

Kuuk. A sensation as if something is stroking the crack. At first, I thought it was the old man’s doing and opened my eyes in horror, but he was just manipulating the magic circle from a little distance away.

I quickly realized what something was. Because that’s the reason I came here in the first place. The tentacles that had eroded the body began to move in search of food, like animals waking up from hibernation.

Perhaps the reason was that mana was supplied to the wedding dress thanks to Haeju. But even if I knew that, there was no way to do anything about it. Even if you stop doing it for a while to calm down the tentacles, the moment you start again, they will start going wild again.

The best way was to hold out somehow until the end of the year.

“Ugh, ugh… !”

But it’s easy. It was not simple to withstand the stimulation of the tentacles indefinitely in a situation where it might end at any time. Moreover, these tentacles subtly change the way they stimulate each time, as if they are learning.

It still is. A topic that I had been trying to dig deep into the vagina until yesterday. Perhaps realizing that it was impossible, the tentacle made no further attempts to insert it.

To that extent, the stimulation of the tentacles was focused on the clit. Even now, just by pressing firmly on the vaginal opening, a tingling sensation of pleasure spreads out.

Of course, the stimulation of the tentacles has only just begun. As I recognize that I am starting to react, my movements change little by little. Instead of simply pressing, you can press firmly and turn it slightly, or have fine tentacles lick the crack.

Every time, my breathing becomes a little more difficult, and sometimes I feel like I’m going to make a strange sound, but I have to grit my teeth to suppress it.

“Hey, you!”

“ㄴ, four!?”

“Stop messing around! The circuit has been misaligning since a while ago! Keep your legs shoulder-width apart, but don’t close your thighs! If I keep doing this all day, it won’t end!”

“Ah, I understand… .”

The old man’s repressed response seemed to be bothersome, and he was pointed out to do more properly. When I heard that it was all day, I too came to my senses and tried my best to remain still.

But what doesn’t work doesn’t work. In particular, the part about not closing your thighs was the most difficult. It’s not even fully open, but vaguely shoulder-width apart, so even when the tentacle touches my clitoris, I get nervous and want to tighten my thighs.

If you somehow manage to hold on, it’s time for the moans. It would be a little better if I could at least put my finger in my mouth. Because of the old man’s instructions, it is impossible to even raise your hand, so it ends up leaking little by little.

In addition, the situation was a total mess, with the stimulation of the tentacles getting stronger and the orgasm building up. If things continue like this, I will disappear before other people’s eyes, but it is difficult to withstand the pleasure right now, and there is no way I can come up with a solution.

In the end, Hae Joo met the worst ending.

“Get out of there right now.”

“… Tsk… , yes… ? Okay, are you done?”

“No, Hae Joo has stopped. That’s it, come out quickly.”

I thought it was finally over. When the old man said it was stopped, a cry of not being funny rose up from the top of my lungs.

The reason I didn’t say it out loud was because the old man was glaring at me with glaring eyes. I had a premonition that something was definitely wrong, so I closed my mouth and did as I was told and came down from the altar.

As I walked away, the old man reached out to the center of the altar and rubbed it, then put his hand in front of my eyes. For a moment, I wondered what on earth I was doing.

Wow. When I saw the sticky liquid dripping between my fingers, I felt as if my face was on fire.

“What on earth is this?”

“Well, that’s… .”

“I’ll keep doing this until you answer.”

“… This is my love juice… .”

I didn’t even think about trying to fake it in any way. Because the area the old man looked at was exactly where my groin was. Even if I just move my thighs slightly, I can feel the space between them becoming slippery.

If I think about it, the old man was in a position to observe my whole body. It keeps twitching or making strange moaning noises. It’s strange that people don’t notice things like this. The idea of trying to hide it in the first place was wrong.

It wouldn’t be surprising if some people thought it was funny. This time, I looked at the old man, wondering if he was going to make some unpleasant remarks, but surprisingly, the old man did not raise his voice and spoke calmly.

However, the content was much more fatal.

“A pervert who shows his body to other people and gets in heat. her. I am so disappointed that this is the true identity of the rumored swordsman.”

“It’s a misunderstanding that you’re in heat! You were the one who told me to take it off in the first place!”

“Is there any problem with taking off my clothes for Haeju? You’re the first time I’ve been this horny in all my time doing this job. And what is wrong with this?”

“Ugh… .”

Even if there are ten mouths, there is no way there will be anything to say if sticky love juice is applied to you. I lowered my red face, feeling like I wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“Hae-ju will refuse. Let me give you my money back too. I don’t want to help a girl who uses other people’s serious work as a joke.”

“Yes… ? Now, just a moment! That’s really a misunderstanding! Explanation, please listen to the explanation!”

However, as soon as I heard the next words, the blood that had been rushing to me disappeared. If I can’t do it this time, doesn’t that mean I might have to go through what I just went through several more times? It was something that made me shudder just to imagine it.

In that case, it would be better to get caught about the tentacles. I immediately revealed the exact curse I had received.

“Look, look. Is it true?”

“Hmm. That’s definitely true… .”

I even showed the evidence directly to the old man who couldn’t believe it. When I turned over the fabric that was in contact with the crack, there were a lot of tentacles lined up inside, greedily devouring my love juice.

The old man looked at the place where the tentacle was for a long time. At the same time, it meant that I had exposed my inner parts for a long time, but now there was something that had to take precedence over shame.

“Okay, I’ll admit that you didn’t mock me on purpose. But this is a pain in the ass.”

“What a pain in the ass. Is something wrong? Hey, you didn’t say you couldn’t do it, right?”

“It’s similar. The composition of the curse is complex, so just interpreting it will take some time. It’s not that you can’t do it, but at this level, well… . I think it will take about 2 weeks.”

2 weeks. That was much better than going to another big city or waiting for a priest with purification skills. Even if you can’t do those methods, it will take a month.

However, it was also true that I lost motivation thinking that I would have to do this for two weeks. Of course, you really can’t not do it.

“If you’re reluctant, find another way.”

“Oh, no! Please take care of me! Is this the end of your headaches?”

“Hmm. No, there are two more things. One is… Okay, I’ll take care of it before you come next time. The other one concerns the laws of the territory.”

From what I heard, there seems to be a law in this territory that says monsters cannot be brought into the city or village. In most cases, this applies to smugglers who buy and sell monsters illegally, but in rare cases, parasitism or possession occurs.

The latter can be seen as a victim, but if they unintentionally bring in a monster, it seems like they are punished equally because it causes great damage to the surrounding area.

“… What more can I give you?”

“There is no need. You already received 30 gold. What I’m saying is, never let anyone else see those tentacles. If you get caught, make sure to keep your mouth shut.”

The old man said he needed to get ready, told me to come back the day after tomorrow, and sent me away. I thought he was going to ask for something more to keep it a secret. … Is he a surprisingly good person?

No, no. Come to your senses. There’s no way the person who stole 30 gold in one go was a proper person.

Still, I think he is a person who is faithful to what he has to do anyway. I could have done as many strange things as I wanted, but in reality, I just watched.

Next time you come, please refrain from overreacting like you did today. Thinking of those thoughts, I walked a little faster towards my dorm.

… I want to take a shower quickly.
