I headed straight to my room, quickly threw on a coat, and called Lucia to go out for a search.

Lucia nodded and agreed to my sudden request, which wasn’t planned.

Fortunately, it was possible because there was enough reserved prey.

Originally, a search required thorough mental and physical preparation several days in advance before cautiously setting out, but I just walked out of the village with Lucia.

Actually, I didn’t plan to go very far.

I just thought I needed some fresh air because my head was complicated and my heart was heavy.

Lucia silently stayed by my side.

We walked along the coastal cliff for a while, not on the usual search path.

The chilly sea breeze of midwinter pierced through my coat and made me instinctively hug myself, but it was perfect for cooling down my feverish head.

Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any monsters.

After walking in silence for a while, I saw a small cabin standing on a cliff.

The cabin was an unremarkable empty house.

A worn-out bed full of dust, a dilapidated storage cabinet, a broken chair rolling on the floor.

Fruits, left for too long, rotted and dried up completely, with the stench gone, becoming rustling dust silently sticking to the floor.

The inside of the cabin was covered in thick layers of dark gray dust.

Judging by the amount of accumulated dust, it seemed like the house had been empty since before the world’s end.

The desolate monochrome contrasted with the brilliant blue sea outside the cabin, creating a strange landscape.

“… This is what happens after a long time.”

My world is rotting, emitting a stench.

The scent of lewd corruption filled the village.

Everything I’ve believed in is twisted strangely, emitting a stench.

This was because I was resisting corruption and decay but gradually becoming tainted little by little.

But, will it eventually be covered in desolate dust like this cabin after time passes?

Is my hope to make this world better again just a futile struggle, and will the human world eventually become such a desolate wasteland?

While I was thinking that, Lucia tapped my arm and said.

“Priest… how about warming ourselves inside the cabin for a bit… You look too cold…”

“I’m fine, Lucia. Thank you for your concern.”

“Still, you should rest… You’ve been walking for over two hours without saying anything…”

“I’m okay. Really…”

“…”

Lucia silently started a fire in the fireplace inside the cabin.

Perhaps it was because she had been hunting alone for a while.

She used the flint to start a fire much more skillfully than I thought.

The orange glow of the starting flame began to color the desolate gray cabin.

“I’m tired… I want to rest a bit.”

“… Alright.”

There’s no way Lucia would be tired if I’m fine.

It was her consideration to let me rest.

I nodded and accepted her consideration.

Lucia told me to wait a moment, then lit a stick and burned away the thick dust inside the cabin.

With the dust and wooden cabin, it could have caught fire, but Lucia’s reflexes caught and extinguished all the bouncing flames.

To my question of whether it was hot, Lucia shook her head and said.

“It’s okay. I’ve done it a lot already. When I go hunting, I see quite a few empty houses.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes… Originally, burning away the dust like this, you taught me before, Priest… That, when we went searching together for the first time… When we slept and came back…”

“Yeah, you remember.”

That day when I learned that I shouldn’t let Lucia drink alcohol.

“Yes, I… everything you… taught me… I remember everything.”

Lucia said with a flushed face.

Her face was so cute that I smiled slightly and said.

“Sola forgets everything.”

“Sola is… Sola, after all.”

After finishing her work, Lucia threw the lit stick back into the stove and plopped down on the bed.

A cloud of fine dust rose around her buttocks.

“Still dusty…”

“It’s just a temporary measure for a short stay… You have to clean to live properly.”

“Anna is a pro at cleaning.”

“…”

“Priest, please sit down too.”

Lucia tapped the spot next to her.

I quietly approached her and carefully sat down next to her, making sure not to stir up any dust.

We sat on the old, dusty bed and looked at the burning fire.

The crackling sound of the embers burning the dust in the air seemed to empty my complicated head little by little.

“Priest. Why are you angry?”

“… Does it show?”

“Yes… You suddenly asked to go searching, and even though it’s a search, you just walked silently… Most of all…”

She pointed to her chest and continued.

“Ebony Wolf is shaking like crazy. I thought it was shaking because I was seeing you, Priest… But that wasn’t it.”

“… I see.”

I nodded.

I’m gradually becoming corrupted, but it seems like I still have the power to scare the Devils.

Lucia paused for a moment and asked in a low voice.

“Is it because of Anna?”

“… Why do you think so?”

“I smell Anna on you, Priest. A lot.”

Lucia’s hand carefully stroked my thigh.

“Especially here.”

“A wolf’s nose can’t be fooled.”

“… Did you… do it with Anna? Make a baby…”

Lucia asked in a somber voice.

I quietly shook my head.

“No…”

“Then… You’re angry because Anna tried to make a baby…? ”

“Well… Something like that.”

I quietly closed my eyes and said.

“I know. That you have feelings for me. I want to hold you too. But… Anna is trying to cross the line.”

“Cross the line… I’m jealous. Of Anna’s… proactive side.”

I shook my head.

“Crossing the line isn’t about the level of the action. It’s about using Devil’s power.”

“… Ah.”

“Trying to deceive me, bind me, and break my will with Devil’s power… It felt like an unbearable insult.”

“…”

Lucia trembled slightly as if afraid.

I could sense what she was worried about.

The reason I touched Lucia’s body was because she lied.

She must have thought that I was angry at her too.

I grabbed Lucia’s hand and continued.

“Even if you deceive me with lies or tempt me with bold actions, and even if I succumb to your beauty and give in to temptation… I won’t resent you.”

“… Priest.”

“Of course, I just want to be careful because you might regret that choice later, as I said, but it’s not like I don’t have feelings.”

“..,”

“But, Anna used Devil’s magic to…”

“Ah, that’s…”

“It felt like it was making everything I’ve believed in meaningless. Like it was insulting my achievements of fighting Devils all my life.”

I have lived my life fighting Devils and being wary of corruption caused by desire.

No, I have lived without being tainted by desire.

Seeing my self-control, which is falling endlessly once it starts to be tainted, I could realize how ignorant I was about desire.

It’s hard to laugh at those countless heretical groups that were punished by my hand anymore.

The truth is, I want to lay Lucia down on the bed right away and have that sweet skin in her clothes.

I want to grab Anna’s hair with her cocky face and show them the corruption they want so much.

I can’t hide it anymore.

Not from them, not from myself.

I have a strong desire for women’s bodies, and I have a clear rational liking for them.

Frankly, I’m acting like a fool who can’t act my age.

Honestly, if Anna had seduced me with her charm and appropriate coaxing, I might have resisted and resisted, but eventually, I would have been gradually tainted by her and eventually crossed the line together.

But, Anna’s impatience made me angry.

Succubus’s scent,

That was truly an unbearable insult.

Not only because it was Devil’s power, but it also felt like my affection for them was being mocked.

“…”

Lucia quietly leaned her head on my shoulder and said.

“What if I’m still jealous of Anna? If I say I want to do the same thing Anna did… Would you get angry?”

“…”

No, that’s not true.

I want it too.

The reason why I desperately resist their temptation to open their legs and offer virginity to me is only because I don’t want them to regret that choice.

Because I didn’t want them to carelessly throw away their precious purity because they were confused, because there were no other men around, or because they were possessed by a Devil.

If they never regret it, and if I’m sure that they truly love me with all their heart without being swayed by any conditions, I will hold them without any guilt.

That’s why I asked Anna what the reason she liked me was.

But right now, I couldn’t say that to Lucia.

Because if I say it, this place would become her first experience.

“I think so today. Today… I think I’ll be a little angry.”

“…”

“Still, I feel a little better with you. I feel like my thoughts are getting organized. Thank you for coming with me, Lucia.”

“Priest, you always come back injured as soon as I take my eyes off you. Especially… here.”

Lucia smiled as she gently rubbed my stomach.

That touch was very soft and very lewd.

Unlike Anna’s violent lewdness, which gave direct pleasure to the body and senses, Lucia’s subtle lewdness that captivated the surrounding air and atmosphere stood out.

Lucia looked up at me with half-closed eyes and slowly stroked my stomach.

Her five fingers, which had been gently stroking my stomach, slowly climbed up my torso and rested on my firm chest.

Her hand stayed on my chest for a moment and then slowly moved up again, reaching my shoulders, and her hand firmly grabbed my shoulders.

Lucia spread her legs and climbed onto my thigh as if riding a horse.

Her buttocks falling between my spread legs made me uneasy, so I grabbed her buttocks with my hands.

“Ah… ungh.”

“…”

“Priest…”

Lucia’s face is getting closer.

Finally, close enough to see my face reflected in Lucia’s blue eyes.

Her arms slowly wrapped around my neck, and then her lips slowly overlapped with mine.

I strongly grabbed her buttocks that I was holding with both hands.

After kissing for a while, Lucia stepped back a little and looked at my face.

I turned my head and said.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“… Why?”

“Because my ugly face is reflected in your eyes.”

“Hehe, that’s right. It’s definitely not like you’re handsome, Priest… Even Sola, who has lived on the island her whole life, knows that…”

“That’s right.”

Lucia licked her lips slightly with her tongue and said.

“But, it’s the face I like.”

“…”

“Priest.”

Lucia murmured in a voice barely louder than a whisper.

“Can I cover Anna’s scent… with my scent?”
