＊

Last night.

Even though I saw Anna hastily running away from the window, I didn’t try to chase after her.

That’s because a powerful sense of lethargy, as if sucking away all my energy, enveloped my entire body.

I silently blew out the candle and plopped down on the old wooden chair in front of the desk.

Along with the creaking noise, an indescribable weariness poured down on me.

But no matter how tired I was, I couldn’t bring myself to crawl into the bed where Lucia was sleeping.

It might sound ridiculous considering that just a little while ago, I was sharing heated caresses with her, but my priestly conscience was screaming that sleeping together was absolutely forbidden.

Perhaps it was because, unlike Lucia, I knew all too well how important a woman’s purity was in the eyes of the world.

I even considered going to Lucia’s room to sleep, but I hesitated to enter a woman’s personal space and sleep there without permission, so I decided to accept my fate of having to sleep face down on the desk.

I silently placed my elbows on the desk and rested my chin on my hands.

“Hoo…”

I’m tired.

I couldn’t tell if it was my body or my mind that was feeling the fatigue, but it was definitely a fact that I was tired.

However, for some reason, I couldn’t fall asleep.

“…”

When I opened my eyes, I could see Lucia, exhausted and asleep, breathing evenly on my bed.

Lucia, who had fallen asleep without even covering her exposed upper body, gently swayed her budding breasts up and down like undulating waves each time she took a slow breath.

If I closed my eyes, tearing my gaze away from that dizzying sight, the alluring image of Lucia panting just a moment ago would vividly surface.

Her fragrant body scent tickled the tip of my nose, the smooth sensation of her soft skin lingered on my fingertips, and the gasping breaths mixed with moans that overflowed from between her teeth echoed inside my earlobes like the songs of heaven.

Inside my eyelids, where not a single ray of light penetrated, her languid eyes, flushed cheeks, and her small but shapely breasts were clearly visible, as if etched there.

I ran my hands through my hair and muttered.

“…Forget it. Forget it, stop thinking about it! You idiot. I’m a priest. A Father… a guardian, you crazy bastard.”

But no matter how much I chided myself, I couldn’t stop that sight from popping up in my head.

No matter how much I tried to forget it, it wouldn’t be forgotten, no matter how much I tried to ignore it, it could never be ignored, and no matter how hard I tried to fall asleep, sleepiness only fled further away.

In the midst of all this, Lucia’s soft murmuring floated over and clung to my earlobe.

That sound was so sweet to me.

Sound being sweet…

I felt like my mind was fading away at the unfamiliar sensation.

My ears, unable to come to their senses from the sweetness they had tasted for the first time, were twitching, chasing after the sound even more.

Wheeze – wheeze –

“…Um, Father…”

My heart dropped at Lucia’s sleep talk.

I finally covered my ears with my hands.

But no matter how much I closed my eyes and covered my ears, I couldn’t stop Lucia’s charms from seeping into my heart.

I had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

It felt like I was starving for a week, and then forced to suppress my appetite with freshly baked bread and a jar of sweet jam in front of me.

I gritted my teeth and stayed up all night with my eyes wide open.

＊

Dawn, before the sun even rose.

Around the time the whole world was dyed a deep blue, I immediately threw open the door and went out.

It was still too dark to go down the dangerous cliff, but I judged that my room, where Lucia was sleeping defenselessly, was far more dangerous than the cliff right now.

Feeling the slightly chilly morning breeze, I reached the cliff at a quick pace, grabbing onto the protruding rocks and scrambling down.

Beneath the cliff, saltiness brought in by the waves all night long was crystallized between the tightly packed rocks.

I started scraping off the salt with my hands and putting it into a small bottle.

The salt was so little each time I collected it, barely enough to cover the corner of my pinky finger, so collecting it was a repetitive task that took quite a bit of time.

But that’s what made it the perfect task for cultivating my mind, which was seized by lust.

I recited prayers as I slowly scraped up the salt.

That’s when it happened.

“Father.”

I heard a voice calling me from above the cliff.

I slowly raised my head.

A woman, not wearing a nun’s veil and with her light brown hair flying in the wind, was standing there calmly looking down at me.

“…Anna.”

“The morning sun hasn’t even risen yet, and you look busy.”

“…”

“…”

I stared at Anna without a word.

I was originally going to scold Anna for peeking into my room again, but when I actually faced her, I couldn’t bring myself to speak.

Asking her if she had seen what Lucia and I had done last night required more courage than I had thought.

As I stood there blankly, Anna gave a slight, peculiar, pitiful smile.

Then, she slowly bent over, placing her hands on her waist.

It was like a strict nanny scolding a child.

Anna raised one hand, extended her index finger, pointed at me, and said.

“I’m disappointed in you, Father.”

“…What?”

“You rejected my confession.”

“…”

“To think that you would have a preference for young girls like Lucia.”

“That’s not it.”

Anna giggled and continued.

“I guess I’m too old for you, huh?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

I shook my head vigorously, filled with injustice.

But Anna wore that playful expression she had shown in the prayer room yesterday and made a small humming sound.

“Heeeuuumm…”

With Anna’s languid eyes, and even looking down at me from above, I felt like a criminal on trial.

I hastily blurted out.

“I, I can explain.”

“What? That you’re actually a pervert who likes young girls? I knew it, you were so good at indulging Solana’s childishness!”

“Anna… please don’t tease me so much.”

“Hehe, okay. Let’s hear it. Your excuse, Father.”

“It’s an explanation.”

Anna flirtatiously swept back her fluttering hair with a gracefully extended finger, and waited for my excuse… explanation.

It wasn’t usually visible because it was covered by the veil, but her hair was almost long enough to reach her bottom.

The sight of that long hair fluttering in the strong sea breeze created a profound atmosphere reminiscent of a beauty in a portrait by a famous painter.

I began to defend myself to this beautiful judge.

“After Mass yesterday, Lucia came to me and said…”

I began to tell her all the facts in as calm a tone as possible.

The fact that a thirst-like heat had appeared in Lucia’s body, and that it was the price for abusing the Devil’s power.

And that to soothe Lucia’s body, I had no choice but to touch only her upper body to satisfy her, I told her everything as far as I knew.

The reason I explained it in such detail was because Anna was practically the only person on this island who could have a conversation about sexual matters.

Because if I asked Kunat that bastard, he would just beat around the bush and piss me off again.

Besides, it was only my constantly fluctuating heart that was the problem, and the act itself could be seen as a treatment.

It didn’t lead to fornication, Lucia’s body was stabilized, and I didn’t give in to temptation after all.

“That’s what happened. Do you understand now?”

“… Hmmm,”

As if to prove my uprightness, I raised my head high and looked straight into Anna’s eyes as I explained the situation.

After listening to me quietly, Anna pondered for a moment, then slowly tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“Is that all?”

“Yes.”

“Really? Only the chest? You didn’t touch anywhere else?”

“I didn’t touch it. I swear to the Goddess.”

“What about kissing?”

“I didn’t do it. You would know if you saw it.”

“It was too dark to see well. But I heard Lucia’s moans well.”

“… Ugh,”

I closed my mouth at Anna’s explicit words.

Anna nodded and continued.

“Well, I understand for now. I’ll trust that you won’t lie, Father… I’ll believe you.”

“Thank you.”

“So you really don’t like young girls?”

“No!”

Anna giggled playfully.

She straightened her bent back, and lowered her hands from her waist.

Anna slightly grabbed the hem of her skirt with her drooping hands and slowly began to lift it up.

“…!”

Fortunately, it wasn’t grabbed at the bottom of the skirt, so her lower body wasn’t fully exposed to the sky like last time.

But enough space was created under her skirt for the wind to enter, and the sea breeze that blew in instantly puffed up Anna’s skirt like a large dome.

The puffed-up fabric of the skirt was far from her large buttocks and slender legs.

It was like an open umbrella.

The problem was that I was standing below her.

“Then, how about adult women?”

Anna exposed her lower body to me in a truly cheeky way.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on.

I belatedly turned my face away, averting my gaze that I had failed to avoid, but it was already too late.

I saw it clearly.

“Again, you’re not wearing underwear.”

“Hehe, how is it? Father.”

“What do you mean what? Do you mean that the fact that my precious nun is a pervert? It’s nothing but sad.”

Anna shook her skirt, which was spread out like an umbrella, and showed me her precious place without leaving anything out.

“Father, look here.”

“Anna, stop it.”

“Why? You saw Lucia’s body, but you don’t want to see my body, which is over twenty years old?”

“That’s not… no, it’s not that I want to see your body, no… ha…”

Anna smiled slightly at my stammering.

I still averted my gaze and grumbled.

“I explained that I couldn’t help it, please stop bothering me.”

“I can’t help it either. You rejected my confession, but you listened to Lucia’s request without any hesitation. I can’t stand being jealous.”

“Anna… that’s only…”

“Shh,”

Anna cut me off, then whispered with a fascinating face.

“Just look at me. Father.”

“… I don’t want to.”

“Is Lucia’s body prettier than mine?”

“I don’t know.”

“What’s more to your taste, Father.”

“I’ve never thought about that, so stop it there.”

“That’s the wrong answer.”

I sighed.

“…At least mature you would be better. Is that okay?”

“Hehe, that’s the right answer for now.”

“Now, put that… skirt down.”

“Hmm, I’ll put it down if you say it in words, is my body better than a child’s?”

“Anna…”

“Isn’t it?”

“… Am I really going to get angry?”

“Oh, you said you only saw Lucia’s upper body.”

Anna said that, put down her skirt, and slowly took both hands to the buttons on her chest.

I hurriedly stopped Anna.

“Anna, stop there!”

“Oh?”

Anna smiled and crossed her arms, then opened her mouth again.

“Weren’t you not looking? How did you know I was going to take off my top?”

“…”

“What happened? Father…?”

… Damn it.

I sighed and shook my head.

“Anna… you said it.”

“…”

“You said you regretted it, you said you were reflecting. You wanted to fix your lewdness… didn’t you?”

“I’m holding back quite a bit even like this.”

“…”

“And, I went crazy when I saw the person I like messing around with another woman.”

“Anna…”

“What’s wrong, Father?”

“Ha…”

Anna looked down at me so innocently.

They say you can’t spit on a smiling face.

I just pressed down on my throbbing temples and swallowed a sigh.

Anna smiled shyly again as she watched me.

“Hehe, look at that. Father, you’re quite cute for what you look like.”

“My head hurts, I feel like I’m going to get white hair.”

“Oh my, then I’ll put Father on my lap and pick out the white hairs myself.”

“Yeah… Thank you so much.”

“Hehe, it’s nothing… Of course I’ll do it… Kyaak!”

At the same time as Anna’s short scream, I heard a sound like something collapsing.

Reflexively looking up, Anna was slipping and falling from the edge of the cliff.

“…!”

I ran down the narrow cliff like I was running and caught Anna who was falling.

However, there was no good place to land because it was such a narrow gap in the cliff.

I hugged Anna’s head to my chest and ran down the steep slope of the cliff.

“Kyaaaa!”

“It’s… okay! It’s okay!”

Running down the slope, I jumped towards a small ledge far below the cliff where I was originally standing.

Anna’s arms wrapped around my neck, and her other hand was tightly grabbing my collar.

Landing on the ledge with a loud thud, I held onto Anna, who was trembling, and let out the breath I had been holding.

“Hoo… that was close.”

“… Ugh,”

Anna was still trembling in my arms.

She must have been very surprised.

I quietly hugged her until she calmed down.

After the sound of gravel rolling down the cliff stopped, Anna slowly began to open her tightly closed eyes.

“Ha… Haa… Father…”

“You’re being punished. After all, the Goddess is watching everything.”

Anna clenched her small fist and hit my chest hard.

“I was scared…”

“I know, you should have been careful.”

“…Yes, you’re right… Thank you for saving me. Father…”

I slowly tried to lower Anna, who was in my arms.

But Anna tightened her arms around my neck and shook her head.

“Ah, no…”

“Anna?”

“Ah… I’m still… My legs are wobbly…”

Certainly, as she said, there was still a slight tremor in Anna’s legs.

No, not just her legs, but her whole body was trembling.

She almost died, so it was no wonder that all the muscles in her body were tense.

Her behavior was very different from her arrogant attitude just a moment ago, and it seemed quite cute.

Well, Anna is the only adult woman on this island in the first place, she also has experience working in the blacksmith’s, and she’s also quite sexually active, so

It wouldn’t be strange to enjoy talking about sexually suggestive things, or to have a down-to-earth and mischievous side.

Of course, even considering that, it was a bit too much today…

Well, what can I do.

She almost died, so she’ll be more careful now.

I brought my cheek to the head of Anna, who was hugging me tightly in my arms, and nodded slightly.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll hold you until you calm down.”

“…Yes, thank you.”

Anna snuggled even deeper into my arms.

When I actually held her, I realized how small she was.

Of course, she’s bigger than Solana and Lucia, but she’s also a woman, so she’s only small enough to fit in my arms.

Her breasts and butt are big, so she’s full of feminine charm, but still, overall, she has a smaller and leaner body compared to a man.

When I thought about how this small woman was responsible for the livelihood of the entire monastery, I even felt sorry for her.

“… I’m sorry. Father.”

Suddenly, Anna apologized to me.

No, I was feeling sorry for you…

However, after being tormented by her all morning, I didn’t bother to correct her and nodded, saying.

“If you know, don’t play those pranks next time.”

“… Yes,”

Anna took away her playfulness and answered docilely.

She must have been incredibly surprised.

Anna rested her head on my chest and slowly began to take deep breaths to calm herself down.

I adjusted my posture slightly to make Anna comfortable and swayed her up and down while holding her.

Anna, startled by the swaying, whispered in a very small voice.

“I’m sorry… I’m very heavy, right?”

“Not at all.”

“Really?”

“Anna, I’m the kind of person who can carry a hellish bull on my back.”

Anna said in a sulky voice.

“…Don’t ruin the mood and answer again.”

“What answer do you want?”

“…Say I’m as light as a feather.”

“Haha, okay. Anna is as light as a feather.”

“Hehe… I’m embarrassed.”

Judging from the way she’s talking, Anna seems to be slowly releasing her tension.

I was slowly looking around for a space to put her down.

That’s when it happened.

“… Oh, Anna. Look at that.”

“Yes?”

“The morning sun is rising.”

The sun was rising far beyond the horizon.

The world, which had been dyed in all sorts of dull blues, was slowly being painted with colorful colors.

The waves, which seemed to be wriggling in the darkness, sparkled as if sprinkled with silver and platinum powder, and the pale white sun gradually turned into a warm color.

The magic of a day opening, the miracle of brilliant light.

The beauty of the world created by the Goddess, which the devil’s schemes and the monsters of destruction had not yet ruined, began to fill the whole world.

“It’s pretty.”

That word came out of my mouth so naturally.

All other words or embellishments felt like unnecessary additions.

“Yes… It’s very… wonderful.”

Anna mumbled as if agreeing with my words.

Anna paused for a moment and then called me in a slow voice.

“Father.”

I looked down at Anna, who was demurely nestled in my arms.

Since when?

Anna was looking at me.

“Huh? Oh, I’ll put you down now. Wait a moment.”

“…”

“Anna?”

“Kiss,”

Anna put strength into her arms around my neck and pulled her upper body up in one breath.

Then, in one breath, she placed her lips on top of mine.

No, it was closer to covering my lips with her own lips.

Anna bit my lower lip slightly with her plump lips and hugged me tightly.

“Euneu…!”

“… Kiss,”

Anna even raised the hands that were on my chest and wrapped them around my neck.

I couldn’t drop her.

Of course, I could drop her or push her away, but since the ledge I was standing on was also a narrow space, I might roll down the cliff if I made a mistake.

Even if I tried to turn my head, Anna’s arms were firmly fixing my face.

As if knowing that I couldn’t drop her, Anna pushed her lips even more forcefully.

Hot breaths flowed endlessly between her lips and mine.

“Heu, Ju, just a moment…”

“Haa… Father… Just one more time… Just one more time.”

Anna overlapped her lips again as if to stop me from speaking.

It wasn’t just the lips this time.

Knock knock.

Something soft tapped my lips.

“…!”

Something soft and gentle.

Something soft, gentle, and warm.

Something soft, gentle, warm, and moist.

Anna’s tongue carefully tapped my lips.

As if trying to find a gap between my lips, Anna’s tongue moved around my lips, tapping slightly.

It was a strange sensation that I was feeling for the first time, but at the same time, it was somehow a very natural and pleasant sensation.

I felt goosebumps on my spine.

It was the same goosebumps I felt last night.

This won’t do.

It’s a sensation that feels so good that it corrupts priests.

I had to stop Anna.

The moment I opened my mouth to tell her to stop,

Anna’s tongue instantly, and at the same time very gently, forced its way between my lips.
