Ch.128Week 4 Wrap-up (1)

I came home Friday night to make love, but it wasn’t until Sunday morning that we finally finished.

“Ju-an? Don’t you think you went a bit overboard this time?”

Of course, I knew Ju-an had been pent up for a while. After all, I’d been deliberately seducing him recently, so it’s natural he’d lose control and pounce on me.

But even so, going at it for 24 hours straight is excessive. My body isn’t that strong to begin with—should he really be treating me this roughly?

“…I’m sorry.”

“Just take it easier next time. Anyway, I’m going to wash up first.”

I need to shower and wash away all traces of what we’ve been doing for the past two days, change the bed sheets, and air out the room.

I tried to get up from the bed to go to the bathroom, but an unexpected problem arose.

“Lite? Didn’t you say you were going to wash up?”

“The thing is… I can’t move my legs…”

It’s not just my legs—my arms, mouth, and especially my waist hurt too. Maybe going at it for two days straight really was too much?

But I can’t just not shower. We’re supposed to have our final strategy meeting with everyone today, and I can’t miss that.

So I need to force myself to move. Or should I just ask Ju-an to help wash me?

…But if I do that, instead of getting clean, I might end up even dirtier, so I’ll keep that as a last resort.

Okay, at least my arms can move properly, unlike my legs. I’ll just ask him to carry me there.

“Um… just carry me to the bathroom… I can wash myself from there.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay in that condition?”

“I appreciate your concern, but if you were going to be this worried, why did you do what you did yesterday?”

“…You were too sexy, what was I supposed to do?”

“…”

“Besides, you’re the one who forced me to drink an aphrodisiac and tried to jump me first, so it’s not really my fault…”

“Okay, I get it! Just carry me already!”

I made a deep promise to myself never to argue with Ju-an again. Even if I’ve done nothing wrong, I’ll probably end up being convinced by his words.

Anyway, with Ju-an’s help, I barely managed to make it to the bathroom.

***

After spending about twice as long as usual, I was perfectly clean. My legs had also recovered enough that I could walk on my own. Thanks to that, I could at least move around by myself.

“Ju-an, I’m done washing up.”

“Okay. Then I’ll go wash up too.”

Now it was Ju-an’s turn to go into the bathroom. While he’s washing, I should dry my hair and clean up a bit around here.

As I was drying my hair, I sensed someone behind me.

“I’m done.”

“As expected of a guy, you’re really quick.”

Did it take Ju-an about 10 minutes to shower? That’s exactly average.

I’m still envious of that. Because of my long hair, it takes me forever to wash and dry it. Should I just cut it all off?

“Ju-an? Do you prefer short hair or short hair?”

“I definitely prefer long hair.”

Great, I’ll keep my long hair then. Once we defeat the Demon King, I’ll be able to live comfortably without working for the rest of my life, so I’ll have plenty of time to wash my hair.

Anyway, after drying my hair completely and tidying up the room with Ju-an’s help, it was exactly time for our meeting.

Just as we were about to leave, Ju-an asked a rather important question.

“By the way, what should we say about our relationship?”

That’s a somewhat embarrassing topic. I could casually tell people that we’re dating.

But it’s embarrassing to tell people we know. Especially if Agath finds out, I’ll have to endure her sex jokes all day long.

“Let’s keep it a secret until we defeat the Demon King. Telling people might only have negative consequences.”

“That’s definitely better.”

If we tell people about this, it would cause various concerns. It might even affect tomorrow’s mission.

To be clear, I don’t mean it would affect others—it would affect us. If we feel uncomfortable about it, we might make mistakes tomorrow.

Anyway, I pretended to be awkward around Ju-an as we headed to the meeting place, and once again, everyone except us was already there.

“Oh, you’re here?”

Agath greeted us with a voice that sounded almost dead. And the others weren’t in much better shape either.

The people who originally lived here looked like they were on the verge of death, Taeyang was trembling with fear, and Haeun was… relatively okay. Though “okay” just meant she was extremely tense.

Tomorrow is finally here. The thought makes me feel gloomy too. What if someone dies tomorrow?

No, if that happens, I can use my wish to ask the Goddess to save them. I don’t have anything specific I want to wish for anyway, so I might as well use it for that.

But that’s only possible if we win. If we’re utterly defeated, it’s all over.

As I continued to worry, Agath opened her mouth with a somewhat sad expression.

“We’ll attack almost simultaneously when the enemy obtains the Demon King’s power.”

“Why are we waiting until the enemy gets stronger?”

“When the Demon King’s power enters the enemy’s body—more than they can handle—and they can barely stand straight, that’s when they’re at their weakest.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to deal with them before the Demon King’s power enters them?”

“The Demon King’s power disappears when its host dies. But the vessel for the Demon King can be replaced easily.”

Paradoxically, the moment when the enemy becomes strongest is the most advantageous time for us. So that’s why the Goddess told us to defeat the person who would become the Demon King, not the Demon King itself.

“For now, gather here by 3 AM tomorrow. I’ll explain the details tomorrow because of confidentiality concerns. Anyway, everyone get a good rest today.”

With those final words, everyone left to prepare for tomorrow’s battle. So what should I prepare for tomorrow?

“Lite? Can you come with me for a moment?”

Suddenly, Agath asked to speak with me alone. Does she have some important information or something?

With that thought, I followed her to a secluded place, and only then did she speak.

“Um… I’m just curious, what happened with the aphrodisiac?”

“I gave it to Ju-an.”

“I knew you’d be too scared to go that far… Wait, what did you just say?”

“I forced Ju-an to take it. Did you not hear me again?”

Thinking about it, Agath already knows that I borrowed the aphrodisiac from her. So she basically already knows what happened.

Now I’ll be teased again. I steeled myself for that, but for some reason, Agath was unusually quiet.

“Agath? Are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. So you and that guy… um, actually did it?”

“Yes. We literally did it all day long.”

I know Agath talks big but is actually quite weak when it comes to defensive topics, so I answered bluntly.

Her face turned bright red, and she looked like she didn’t know what to do.

“Aren’t you embarrassed saying things like that?”

She must be the type who knows all the theory but is weak in practice. In my opinion, Agath seems exactly like that type.

So I decided to return all the humiliation I’ve suffered from Agath.

“What do I have to be embarrassed about?”

“B-but that’s too explicit…”

“You’re the one who first suggested using the aphrodisiac, right? And you’re the one who gave it to me.”

“Y-yes, but I didn’t think you’d actually do it… So did you just mix it into his food?”

“Of course not. I fed it to him with my mouth.”

Agath’s already red face turned even redder, and her pupils started shaking wildly as if they’d forgotten where they were supposed to be.

But I have no intention of stopping here. I need to completely destroy her so she never does this kind of thing again.

“And because I fed the aphrodisiac to Ju-an with my mouth, he became like a beast and his hips…”

“I-I need to go first!”

Agath is trying to escape cowardly to gather her thoughts. But I won’t allow that. After all I’ve been through, how could I end it here?

And so my bloody revenge began.

***

Catching Agath was easy. The only place she could hide was her own room.

So I entered Agath’s room, blocked the door so she couldn’t leave, and explained everything that happened yesterday in explicit detail.

“L-Lite… please stop…”

Agath pleaded with me in a shrinking voice. In response, I teased her again.

“Why? You’re the one who begged me to do this kind of thing to you first. Shouldn’t you be asking for more?”

“I’m really sorry… I promise I won’t do it again…”

“Oh right, I realized yesterday how amazing the ability to stop time is. You know, yesterday Ju-an stopped time and…”

“Lite… you weren’t like this… Please, can’t you go back to being that modest Lite from before…?”

“Did you ever stop when I asked you to stop?”

“…I promise I won’t do it again, so please forgive me?”

I’ve definitely tormented her enough. If I stop here, Agath will never make those sex jokes again.

But I never imagined teasing others could be this fun. So this is why Agath always made those jokes to me.

Didn’t I want to make sure Agath never makes those jokes again? So I should tease her until she cries, so she’ll never forget this.
