Ch.248Side Story: The Heavenly God and the Demon God – 3

Erestica opened her eyes after confirming that the breathing sound had become regular. The even breathing meant that the ‘child’ snuggled tightly in her arms had fallen asleep.

It wasn’t particularly difficult to notice thanks to a dragon’s uniquely sensitive senses, but considering what she was about to do, she needed to verify more meticulously.

Erestica spoke in a careful voice and listened closely.

“Child?”

Mira remained quiet. She was still buried between breasts much larger than her head, breathing evenly. Erestica moved her hand to a bolder position and called out again.

“Are you sleeping, child?”

“……”

Again, there was no response. Her hand began moving to an even bolder position.

With her head completely buried between the breasts, Mira wouldn’t be able to see anything. Her ears, also buried in the chest, would be unable to function properly.

Her nose would be completely numbed by the smell of alcohol and milk, and her mouth and tongue were of no help in perceiving the surroundings. Her hands? They were placed obediently on Erestica’s thighs.

In other words, as long as Mira didn’t wake up, what she was about to do would be the perfect crime. Erestica checked the area near the campfire, where noisy sounds could still be heard.

“Now, say ‘aahn,’ Goddess.”

“Aahn… nom.”

“Shall we try it too, Evil Goddess?”

“No! Why would I—ah, fine! Fine, just stop making that sad face! Ah, aahn…”

Leona and Latina, the Goddess and Evil Goddess, were still busy eating and feeding each other food prepared by Beatrice. All other maids had withdrawn, and Nika was left alone to clean up.

Karna had participated in the drinking contest on Laura’s orders but was the first to pass out and return to the mansion. The four people who had been drinking with Erestica were obviously in no better state.

Having confirmed this, Erestica moved her arm.

“It’s alright, child. Just a little, just a tiny bit…”

She released the arm that had been tightly embracing Mira and took hold of the strong, sturdy hand resting on her thigh. Slowly, she moved it toward her chest.

The limp fingers touched the erect tip of her breast, which was stiff enough to be felt through the white shirt.

“—!!!!!”

Erestica barely managed to suppress the moan that threatened to escape. Though the intensity was much weaker than when she usually expressed milk, the added psychological pleasure of secretly doing something naughty enhanced the sensation.

She moved the hand again. Each time the fingertips brushed against the protrusion, she felt as if something was spurting from the tips of her breasts. It wasn’t just a feeling. The white shirt was actually getting wet.

‘Not enough…’

Before she knew it, her initial careful movements were gone, and Mira’s hand moved faster and faster. Only one thought remained in Erestica’s mind.

Harder.

She wanted it harder. She wanted her breast to be roughly grabbed. She wanted it squeezed mercilessly, as if it would be torn off, without any consideration for the recipient.

But if she moved any harder, Mira would wake up. After much deliberation, Erestica changed positions. She raised the backrest to an almost right angle and flipped Mira’s body.

Instead of Mira’s back touching her abdomen, she positioned Mira so that their abdomens touched. She spread her legs slightly to the sides, half-kneeling to embrace Mira’s pelvis.

Then she checked again.

“……”

Mira was still not awake.

Normally, she would have woken up long ago. It seemed to be the effect of drinking too much alcohol. Even that was endearing. It made her feel like she had become someone Mira could rely on. Like a real mother.

‘If she happens to wake up…’

Her heart was beating wildly. What would happen then?

Each time the face buried between her breasts exhaled, her cleavage tickled. Just that alone felt like it could make her climax.

‘Just a little… just a tiny bit more…’

Erestica hugged Mira’s waist tightly and pulled slightly. This caused her body to move forward, brushing her groin and lower abdomen.

“…!”

In that moment, a shock like electricity running through her brain struck her. She bit her tongue to forcibly suppress the moan that was about to escape.

Her waist jerked upward, and the chest area of her white shirt became even wetter, emitting a fishy milk scent. Her entire body tingled. Just once was enough to make her feel like all the strength had drained from her body.

‘Just a bit more… really just a bit more…’

The strength and speed of her arm movements gradually became bolder. Accordingly, the friction between their bodies accelerated. Once started, she simply couldn’t stop.

In her mind, she kept telling herself that this was wrong, but to the current Erestica, those words merely served as an excellent seasoning mixed with the pleasure of guilt.

If she continued like this, the child would really wake up—

“What are you doing, Lady Erestica?”

“—!!!!!”

Erestica, who had been in a trance, reflexively snapped back to reality and looked around. Nika stood with her hands politely folded in front of her lower abdomen, tilting her head with a kind smile.

“You weren’t doing anything strange to the master, were you?”

“N-no, absolutely not. How could I possibly do such a thing?”

“Hmmmm, is that so? Among succubus knowledge, there’s a position similar to that one. That’s why I wondered.”

“W-well, that is…”

As Erestica’s fluster increased, the mischievous look on Nika’s face deepened.

“Do I smell milk? Perhaps you gave her milk so her stomach wouldn’t hurt? But I don’t see a cup… Strange. You wouldn’t have fed her directly, would you? Right?”

“Ahhh… I-I’m a bit tired! I’ll go in first!”

Erestica, not knowing what to do, left Mira behind and fled into the mansion. Even in her haste, she carefully laid Mira down with meticulous attention.

Watching that flustered retreating figure, Nika chuckled.

“If you wanted to lie, you should have hidden your chest first.”

The chest area of the white shirt was so soaked that it was transparent, something anyone would have found suspicious. It was only because it was Nika that she let it slide.

“The head maid said not to wake him…”

As Nika covered the master’s body with a blanket she had received from Beatrice, she looked around. There were no eyes watching.

Her waist bent deeply, and lips met lips. Tongues met too. Their saliva freely traversed each other’s tongues. It was quite a cheap price to pay for keeping the secret of three people.

Though the party involved would never know about this transaction.

The next day, we all had to suffer from hangovers. Despite promptly using healing magic and status ailment removal magic, the alcohol remaining in our stomachs was still taking its toll.

Beatrice made a fuss over my condition. I even got scolded after a long time. It reminded me of the old days—when no matter how much I insisted I was fine, she would say I absolutely wasn’t and shower me with all sorts of overprotection.

After about an hour, when I went outside, Nika quickly attached herself to me.

“Why was I sleeping on the beach?”

“The head maid said you drank a lot, so we shouldn’t wake you up.”

“Really? What about Lady Erestica? I remember being with her last.”

“Yes. She was with you.”

Nika smiled meaningfully.

“She did something, didn’t she? Or rather, was something done to me?”

“No? Nothing happened.”

“Right. I’m sure something did. I know it.”

“If you’re not going to believe me, why did you ask?”

Her cheeks puffed up. I poked them with my finger to deflate them. Nika burst into laughter while being poked. It was clearly an intentional sulk.

“How are the others? Are they okay?”

“No. They’re still lying in bed, groaning even after receiving healing magic.”

“Still?”

“After drinking that much, it’s abnormal that you’re already up. Even you, master, had to lie down again for an hour after waking up this morning. How do you think the others are doing?”

“…How much did we drink exactly? My memory is fuzzy from the middle.”

“Let me see. So… you, plus two, three, four… seven people drank 172 bottles.”

“Huh?”

I looked at Nika with an expression that suggested I might have misheard. Nika drove the point home.

“Seven people, 172 bottles. That’s why I said it’s abnormal that you’re already up after drinking that much. Even with healing magic, a normal person would have died long ago from that amount. Did you know that?”

“……”

Erestica probably drank half, and Karna passed out early, so it was more like five people drinking about 80 bottles. That’s less than seven people drinking 172 bottles, but considering most were strong liquor, it was still a substantial amount.

It seemed like today would be a day to relax leisurely at the mansion. The others probably wouldn’t be able to get up for a while anyway.

“Are you alright, human? Your expression didn’t look good this morning.”

“Hmph, seeing that you’re up, I guess you’re fine. But if your stomach still hurts, I could give you a blessing. Don’t misunderstand. This is just repayment for your kindness.”

As I came down to the first floor, the Goddess and Evil Goddess approached. The Goddess looked genuinely concerned, while the Evil Goddess seemed concerned but with an underlying rudeness.

“Thanks. I’ll take it gratefully.”

I grabbed the Evil Goddess’s cheeks and stretched them left and right. She flailed around while I held her cheeks.

“Uggggh! What are you doing!”

“Didn’t you say you could give me a blessing? Isn’t this a blessing?”

“How is this a blessing! Let go! Let go!”

After playing with her cheeks a bit more, I released her. The Evil Goddess huffed, slapped my forearm, and then scurried off somewhere.

Probably in Latina’s direction. From what I observed during dinner yesterday, she followed Latina quite well despite pretending not to.

“Um… human. Do you have any plans for today?”

“No. Nothing specific. Why do you ask?”

In truth, even if I had plans, I couldn’t have carried them out. Five of the seven people who had been drinking yesterday were down with hangovers.

So I was planning to take it easy today. Or maybe go out with those who were still fine.

“T-then… could we perhaps visit that place called Earth?”

“What?”

I asked back, surprised by the unexpected question.

“Yesterday, while we were together, I heard the hero talking about a place called Earth. He said it’s a world completely different from here… Listening to him made me curious. After all, this is the only world we’ve seen and known.”

“It is a completely different world, but…”

As I trailed off, unsure how to respond, the Goddess lost confidence rapidly and shrank. She didn’t used to be like this. It feels like her personality has become childlike to match her appearance.

I picked her up, patted her head, and followed the path the Evil Goddess had fled down, when a good idea came to mind.

“I think Beatrice mentioned wanting to visit Earth before.”

“The head maid?”

Beatrice knew our secret. That there was another world, and that we had to visit it periodically. Of course, we didn’t tell her about being possessed.

When we told her it was a huge secret that she should keep to herself, she got extremely excited, knelt down to the floor, and swore she would. That oath was still being admirably kept.

“It might be nice to go together this time.”
