The art of barrier was one of Lethe’s main techniques. The platinum-colored power spread out like a wave, like a ripple, and soon blocked all sounds in the area.

To be more precise, it prevents the sounds of our conversation from escaping outside.

It can’t be helped that it’s already been discovered once, but shouldn’t we at least make sure there aren’t any more witnesses?

Elijah alone was enough for a lecherous voyeur. She alone was easy to handle.

After confirming that the barrier was definitely in place, I turned my head again.

As Elijah Reuben had wished, it was to give her a chance to explain her actions.

‘No matter what I say, it won’t change the fact that Lete and the other guy were spying on me and harassing me… … .’

Anyway, if you don’t listen to me even like this, aren’t you the type of person who will bother me to the end?

Rather than seeing it hanging around like that, it would be easier to tie the knot here.

I squatted down in front of Elijah in a somewhat awkward posture. I looked down at her, who was lying there, and looked at her… … .

“You, can you stop staring so intently?”

Elijah must have noticed that my gaze was on my lower body, because he grabbed the hem of his skirt with trembling fingers. Still, it wasn’t completely hidden.

I looked at Elijah, who was so embarrassed, with amazement. Who would have thought that ‘that’ Elijah Ruben would react in such a girlish way?

It was beyond refreshing, it was almost wonderful. That bright red face suddenly felt cute.

“Haven’t you already been showing off your embarrassing body before? Why are you covering up your bare skin now?”

Of course, aside from that personal sentiment, the words that came out of his mouth were not so kind.

Because the very thought of Elijah being ‘cute’ was a kind of humiliation to me.

“Ah… … !”

I snatched her hand away, briefly revealing the daring underwear and white skin beneath her dress.

The moisture on the bottom of her thighs could be the result of the love juice from the masturbation she just had.

As I nodded my head while thinking alone, Elijah shouted urgently, “Kwang!”

“My, it feels different when I reveal it myself and when it’s forced upon me in a situation where I’m being bullied… …! Even I’m embarrassed by this?!”

She was so sad that she was holding down her skirt with her other hand. As I looked at her expression, tears welling up in her eyes, I felt like I had become the bad person.

It’s like a savage situation where he tries to rape an innocent girl.

Since I had grabbed it without thinking much about it in the first place, I couldn’t help but feel quite embarrassed.

I let go of her wrist hesitantly─.

Pavat!

Elijah took advantage of the gap and quickly leapt backward.

And the way he glares at me with a venomous glare.

“What… … . What do you want me to do?”

“… … profit.”

Whether or not, my attitude was consistent. When I blurted it out as if I didn’t really care, Elijah trembled and lowered his eyes.

Her face was seething with shame, embarrassment, and pitiful resentment.

“Ugh.”

He quickly crouched down, as if he knew that he could not raise his voice right now.

He then tried to control his expression, but his protruding lips said it all.

In any case, it seems like you are dissatisfied with the way I treat and treat you.

Lete, who was watching the situation from a step behind, also let out a small laugh. I was probably the only one who heard her small mutter, ‘How cute… ‘

“Anyway.”

It seemed like we needed a little air before things got any more tense. I clapped my hands lightly, and Elijah also tidied up the hem of his clothes.

“Shall we start talking? I specially waited for you because you said you had something to say. Ruben.”

“… … um, hmm.”

Elijah stands there, sullen and moaning under my subtle pressure. He keeps wiggling his fingers endlessly, and it’s obvious that he’s in a lot of trouble.

I guess they held on to us for a while because they didn’t want to just let us leave as if we hadn’t seen anything.

“So I… … . You know? That’s it.”

You must have been at a loss as to what to say. The evidence was in those eyes that were spinning around, not even having the confidence to handle this incident.

How could I possibly talk about it in the first place? I said I would explain, but in reality, no matter what reason I give, it will only make things worse.

The reason I was caught like this was because I wanted to reluctantly ‘let’s hear what he has to say’.

Lethe and I waited for Elijah’s mouth to open, each with different feelings of anticipation.

“… … Ugh!”

After a long pause, she finally couldn’t stand the weight of the silence and closed her eyes tightly.

And then, thud! Elijah finally gave up on everything and made the decision to just sit down.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been suffering from sexual frustration lately, and I’m embarrassed to bother you… … !”

Elijah mumbled and apologised in a voice that was difficult to understand, and then he looked up at me and Lethe, almost sobbing.

It was a look filled with such desperate sadness that it made us cringe in return.

Was that all? She crawled across the grass toward me and grabbed my trouser leg again.

I flinched and pulled away, but he clung to me like a charm and showed no signs of letting go.

“No, seriously, why are you doing this?”

It was at that moment that he slowly released his hand, intending to strike the sacred power between his eyebrows again.

“I really… … . I’ll put down my pride and beg you like this, Evan.”

Elijah rested his forehead on my knee and spoke in a slurred voice.

It was so desperate that my voice was trembling. Even I, who has a habitual Elijah-phobia, was shaken for a moment.

“I won’t ask you to sleep with me. If you don’t want to, then fine. We don’t have to mix our bodies.”

It was a somewhat contradictory rush for a guy who had wanted to sleep with me so badly to bring it up.

I listened to her voice with a slightly serious expression.

I don’t really like Elijah, but if you ask me if I hate him, it’s not like that.

Because there were really only a few nobles in this solar cult who did not despise or envy me.

A guy who doesn’t change his attitude from beginning to end. He’s always been a perverted slut who’s always been asking me to play with him…

… … It may sound strangely like a double swear word when I say it like this, but what I mean is that the beginning and the end are the same.

Since we were somewhat close friends, I was willing to listen seriously to any deep concerns you had.

“Just saying, seriously, just this once, can you touch me down there… … ?”

“… … .”

“I’m really horny right now. You, the sight of you and Lete is so stimulating… … . I’m going crazy, Evan, if you’d just man up and poke me once─. Ugh!”

If what they were saying was this new form of nonsense, it would be very difficult to tolerate.

I snapped my fingers and left a red mark on his forehead. I was a fool to have worried even for a moment.

“Really going.”

“Really?!”

I sat up, and Elijah covered his forehead in shock at the fact that even his last resort had not worked, and he looked greatly embarrassed.

I turned away with a slight frown. Elijah seemed to have taken my reaction as an expression of displeasure, but he hastily shut his mouth.

‘… … I’m going to go back, really.’

In reality, that was an illusion far from the truth.

Shouldn’t we rather say the opposite?

I felt the blood rushing to my lower body, and I had to turn around as much as possible so Elijah wouldn’t notice.

To be honest, yes, I was a little bit taken aback. In fact, it was an inevitable suggestion.

There was only one reason why I had rejected Elijah’s one-night stand proposals. It was because I was afraid that my divine nature would be tainted during sexual intercourse with her.

Elijah was also quite blessed among the candidates for sainthood… … but compared to Nana Lete, her talent was one or two levels lower.

That’s why I pictured a future where I would regret spending a night with her because I coveted her body.

But what if it doesn’t go as far as direct intercourse, penetration?

If the contact is just to satisfy sexual desire.

‘Is there any reason not to…?’

To be honest, I was saying that there was nothing to lose. On the contrary, there was the advantage of being able to make the woman who always annoyed me cry with my own hands.

I looked back at Elijah, growing the seeds of conflict within me.

Unable to find the reason for this silence, she was hesitating, watching me in real time.

Did I cross the line? Did I make you angry? I could clearly see that he was thinking along those lines.

It’s just that right now I’m more focused on her overall appearance.

Purple hair tied in pigtails, clear eyes that sparkled pitifully. Although she was shorter than Lete, her figure was quite alluring and seductive in contrast to her tall stature.

In addition to the large breasts that show off her presence, the waistline and hips that accentuate her sexual appeal.

Gulp.

It was a body that made you swallow your saliva. It was so much so that any normal, common heterosexual would not be able to help but feel aroused upon seeing that female body.

‘Come to your senses… … .’

I let out a soft sigh and calmed my desires. I couldn’t deny that I was drawn to Elijah’s request, but actually doing it was a different story.

It wasn’t like there was just me and her here right now.

I glanced at Lete, who had been unusually quiet for some reason.

Coincidentally, Lete turned her head and our eyes met.

‘what.’

At that moment, I couldn’t help but flinch. Lethe Heresia, whose eyes met mine, had an expression on her face that I had never seen in four years.

How should I describe that expression?

It’s too vague to be called a nursery rhyme, and the emotional confusion is so obvious that it’s hard to call it nothing.

But those small lips that almost spilled their true feelings were quickly shut as soon as they opened.

“… … Okay, isn’t it?”

Lethe, who had been holding onto one of my arms tightly, blurted out her first words, which were probably far from sincere.

Isn’t it good?

“What are you talking about? That.”

“… … .”

I asked back, and Lete bit her lip, avoiding my gaze.

“No, just… … . Right?”

And then continue speaking as generously as possible.

As if he was trying to force himself to show that he was really fine.

“Elijah says so much, and she has nothing to lose. I don’t think you’ll refuse.”

“… … .”

“A little while ago, you had a slightly cold expression.”

I had no choice but to close my half-open mouth again. Instead, a cold sweat ran down my face.

‘It’s like a ghost.’

How did you notice? After knowing each other for this long, of course there are things you can notice without being told─.

“… … Phew.”

I just shook my head in disgust. Then I glared at the Lethe guy.

“Hey, Lete Heresia.”

“Why?”

She responded curtly. It seemed like there was something she didn’t like about it.

Do you think I won’t notice you reacting like that? … Or are you secretly hoping that I will notice?

Either way, she was a bothersome woman. I sighed deeply and continued.

“Why don’t you just be honest? Don’t beat around the bush or keep it to yourself.”

“… … I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

Are you going to keep ignoring it until the end? Or did I really misunderstand it?

Now I was also a bit hesitant. I was saying that I wasn’t sure, and out of embarrassment that I might have something to say, my words naturally started to come out crooked.

“Yeah… … ? You don’t know what I’m saying?”

“Yes, really.”

“Then, you don’t mind me having a blast with Elijah right here?”

“… … .”

As soon as she blurted out those words, Lethe’s lips closed tightly.

I added nervously.

“Be sure, please. Don’t bother me unnecessarily.”

It was just two short words. They didn’t mean much, they were just words blurted out without thinking.

“… … Annoying?”

But the atmosphere cooled down in an instant due to that insensitive remark.

Lete murmured in a frozen voice, and I shut my mouth in a ‘oh no’. I didn’t really mean it that way.

“… … I mean, that is.”

I finally managed to get my bearings, but it was no use. Lete folded her arms in a sarcastic manner and responded to my words.

“I guess my consideration was annoying and troublesome to you. Evan Lane… … . I’m so sorry, what should I do?”

“That’s not what I meant. Why are you being so sensitive about it?”

“… … You said something that made me react sensitively.”

Lethe growled softly, as if she was hurt, and I had to keep my mouth shut, unable to find the words.

For some reason, an inexplicable sense of suffocation filled my heart. Why did this woman, who usually accepted all sorts of hateful words, do it at this particular point?

I glared at her with a sharp frown, and Lete also bit her lip without saying anything.

A silence, completely different from before, descends upon the surroundings.

The air had become strangely chilly, and the conversation could not continue any further.

Lethe and I… … For the time being, we didn’t plan on speaking first and just stared at each other as if we were going to eat each other.

“No, these guys are really going too far… … .”

Meanwhile, Elijah, who was left alone, looked back and forth between me and Lethe with a tired expression.

“What is this, in front of someone who is so horny that they’re going crazy? They’re having sex with each other, why?”

“… … .”

“Do you really want to hit me both?”

She spoke in a seemingly fierce tone and thrust her clenched fists out to both sides─.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … Hmm, ummm!”

As soon as the hostility and murderous intent that I and Lete had directed at each other were poured out solely on me as a third party, I quickly realized and shrank down.

“Okay, okay, I got it. Call me when you all start fighting. I’ll be masturbating by myself… … .”

It’s really heartbreaking to see him crawling backwards again.

Even the popular Elijah couldn’t be such a loner when he was among us.

“… … Sigh.”

The fever had subsided, unfortunately. I roughly brushed my bangs back, and Lete also turned around with a pouty expression.

In the exact opposite direction to me.
