Ch.350Side Story: Research (Adult Version)

[Hiccup.]

I just learned that even ghosts can hiccup.

If there had been a necromancy school in Black Magic, I could have submitted a research paper on this.

Thinking about it, in kingdoms like Germania where Black Mages hold important positions, there might be related magic towers.

Well, what I’m about to do now is for an even greater discovery.

‘Am I nervous?’

I reflect on myself as I think thoughts I wouldn’t normally have.

I did spend some intimate time with the Dark Spiritmaster, but that was rather sudden.

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve actually brought a woman to my bedroom.

But obviously, Stella was more nervous than I was.

I deliberately acted relaxed to reassure her and asked, “Are you scared?”

In response, Stella looked up at me with moist eyes.

[N-not scared exactly… it’s just so sudden.]

No matter how clueless I am about romance, I have no intention of suddenly pouncing on her.

From the beginning, what we’re doing isn’t primarily sexual.

“I won’t do anything without your permission.”

Gulp.

I thought I heard the sound of her swallowing.

“Also, the reason I brought you here isn’t for sexual activity, but for research on spiritual bodies.”

[…..]

She didn’t seem to like that, her eyes twitching slightly.

Even such small gestures seemed adorable to me.

“Finally, the reason I want your help instead of the Dark Spiritmaster’s is because you possess the divine power of Goddess Hertia.”

[Oh.]

She seemed to have missed this point due to the sudden situation, but Stella is a goddess after all.

Considering how other gods use spiritual bodies to operate, Stella was actually the most helpful for my research.

[So that’s why you brought me here?]

“Yes.”

Just when I thought she understood, Stella crossed her arms and puffed out one cheek.

[Then I don’t want to.]

“…May I ask why?”

[You’re saying you didn’t bring me here because you like me, but just because I’m the most suitable for your needs.]

She’s not wrong.

It wasn’t about whether I liked Stella or not; I simply brought her because she was the most suitable for the spiritual body research I needed to conduct.

[Say it differently.]

Despite her protest, she didn’t run away and deliberately waited, giving me a chance. Seeing this made me smile slightly.

“Somewhat.”

[Somewhat?]

I gently stroked her head as she repeated my words like a child.

“I also brought you here because I’m a bit upset.”

[Eek!]

“Because you trapped me in your scheme and put me in this situation.”

[N-no, that was for everyone’s happiness…]

Stella lowered her head like a small animal and avoided my gaze. But she wasn’t trembling like before.

Rather, the flow seemed to have naturally shifted.

“Then I’d like you to help for everyone’s happiness.”

Stella, who had been covering her face with both hands, lowered them slightly and met my eyes.

Perhaps she realized my intention was genuinely focused on research rather than anything sexual.

She took a deep breath and slowly lowered her hands.

[K-kiss.]

“Hm?”

[If you k-kiss me while we do this, I’ll h-help.]

Her request was so adorable.

I carefully leaned forward, and she responded by meeting my lips.

A brief kiss.

[Hoo.]

She seemed pleased by just that, her expression softening as I smiled at her.

“I thought a Saintess would call it a peck.”

[D-don’t tease me.]

I was teasing her since we’d kissed before. I carefully led Stella to the bed.

Even during that short walk, our lips met twice more.

[O-outside.]

“Hm?”

[Your senior and Findenai are listening at the door.]

“…Can’t be helped.”

At least they’re not barging in.

[Can’t you block the sound?]

Stella was asking me to use magic, but I shook my head.

“Then some mana would leak elsewhere. For precise research, I need to focus completely.”

[Why does that sound like an excuse?]

“Half of it is.”

Partly I wanted troublesome Stella to be a little uncomfortable, but half of it was because using magic with this body was burdensome.

[You’re mean.]

Stella covered her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes avoiding mine. I sat to her left and carefully placed my hand on her shoulder.

[Eek?!]

Just like I did with the Dark Spiritmaster before, I made all the clothes Stella was wearing disappear.

[Y-you know how to do this too?!]

“It worked when I tried it on the Dark Spiritmaster.”

A soul wouldn’t actually wear real clothes, so they’re just part of the soul.

Useless before me, a necromancer.

[I’m e-embarrassed!]

Stella covered her chest with one hand and stretched the other between her legs.

She also slightly raised one leg to cover her hand with her thigh, which appeared quite seductive.

[K-Shinwoo Kim.]

She called my name with a trembling voice. Knowing what she wanted, I carefully kissed her lips.

[Hwa.]

The brief act seemed to calm her, as Stella took a deep breath and slowly nodded.

Finding her behavior endearing, I kissed her once more, then carefully removed the hand covering her chest and gently placed my own hand there.

[Hnnngh!?]

I had touched her once before because of Vellica. I thought then too:

“Stella, you’re quite sensitive.”

[Wh-what? Whaat?!]

Just placing my hand on her chest made her twitch slightly and lose her composure.

Even Vellica was surprised by how sensitive Stella’s body was when she used it.

But perhaps as a Saintess, it sounded like I was calling her lewd.

[That’s not true!]

She immediately blushed and shouted. Unlike her usual self, she seemed childlike, making me want to tease her a bit.

Tap.

[Eeeek!]

When I gently pressed her erect nipple with my finger, she immediately reacted.

If she responds this intensely to just a touch, I’m not sure how to proceed, but…

‘Sweat smell?’

I noticed a smell of sweat that shouldn’t exist, and Stella’s body was becoming damp.

“Stella, you’re giving off a sweat smell.”

[S-Saintesses don’t sweat!]

What nonsense is she talking about?

“Souls don’t sweat, you mean.”

[Huh? That’s… right.]

Stella, having caught her breath, seemed to regain some composure and looked at her body.

She was surprised to see sweat forming on what had been a spiritual body.

‘I wonder if it’s happening faster because Stella has divine power, or if she’s just more sensitive than the Dark Spiritmaster.’

There are still ambiguous aspects.

Anyway, the start is definitely good.

“I’ll try a bit more.”

At my words, Stella bit her knuckle and nodded.

This time, I very lightly pinched her erect nipple.

[Haaang!]

Stella arched her back slightly and twisted her body. No matter how untouched by men she was, and how pure she had been in life…

‘This is a bit excessive.’

She was seriously, alarmingly sensitive.

This would prevent the research from progressing properly.

“Stella.”

[Y-yeees?]

Seeing her already weakened response, I hesitated. Reading something in my expression, Stella forced a smile.

[Don’t worry about me… do as you please.]

“But.”

[It’s okay. It’s f-for research. And I did wrong by you too.]

“……”

[I’m a Saintess. A woman whose heart didn’t break even under demon torture.]

A smile wet with sweat and tears.

[Just kiss me. One more time.]

At her request, I kissed her again. There was a slight trembling at the contact of our skin, but Stella fully accepted me.

“Then… I’ll try once, truly setting emotions aside.”

[I-I’ll try to hold back my voice.]

Right, the Dark Spiritmaster and Findenai were listening outside.

That made me feel a bit sorry, but not wanting to break the flow, I slowly moved my hand.

[Mmph!]

Stella was still biting her finger.

I gently caressed her rounded breasts as if warming them up, then very carefully brought my tongue to them.

[Mmmmmph!]

She arched her back again.

Feeling sweat droplets touch my cheek, I continued moving my tongue.

I had gained some experience from my time with the Dark Spiritmaster.

‘I can taste it.’

The scent of flesh from Stella’s skin mixed with the aroma of sweat.

When I carefully nudged with my teeth, Stella swallowed her moan, and the sensation became more distinct.

‘This isn’t simply arousal or her body heating up. Could it be that some specific emotion is being amplified in a short time?’

But I recall that gods normally move around in spiritual form.

I still haven’t reached some core understanding.

I carefully moved my hand lower without her noticing.

Her thighs blocked me as she struggled in her own way.

[W-wait! Not there!]

It was already too late.

My hand pushed aside her thighs and slipped under her hand between her legs, touching her wet womanhood.

[Haaaaaaang!]

A scream-like moan erupted. She seemed to be struggling with excessive pleasure.

I quickly stroked the outer part.

[Wait! J-just wait! No! I said no!]

She finally released her finger from her mouth and tried to push my shoulder away.

I moved my hand faster on her womanhood, pressing the protruding bud with my thumb.

[Nnnngh!]

A moan that a Saintess should never make. She twisted her waist, now trying to escape from me, moving to get away somehow.

Seeing her exhaling hot breaths with her mouth open, I briefly wondered:

‘What about saliva? Breath? How does that work?’

If I have questions, it’s right to act on them immediately.

Since Stella was cooperating, I wanted to check everything I could now.

[Nooo! No…mmph!]

I inserted my left middle and index fingers, which had been on her chest, into her mouth.

‘The saliva is moist. The breath is hot too. It really feels like putting fingers in a human mouth.’

[Mmph!]

I could even feel her tongue between my fingers.

As my questions continued and seeing how wet her womanhood was, it seemed sufficient.

I very carefully inserted one finger into the tightly closed opening of her womanhood.

[Haak! Hak! Ah, aaaak!]

Now she was struggling with both legs, trying desperately to escape.

With my fingers still in her mouth, she couldn’t properly scream or shout.

“Just bear with it a little.”

As I calmly observed her condition and spoke, Stella shook her head vigorously to express her refusal.

Squelch!

[Mmmmmmph!?]

Finally, Stella bit down hard on my fingers in her mouth and twisted her body in all directions.

She tried to turn her body to show her back, but I gently pressed her abdomen with my knee to keep her position fixed.

‘The inside of the vagina… damn, I don’t know.’

I was trying to find what differences there might be compared to a living person.

But thinking about it, I’ve never done this with a living person.

‘I’ll have to ask Erika or Findenai later.’

For now, I’ll put that aside.

I focus on the sensation.

Her insides tightened around my finger as if trying to cut it off. She struggled as if to protect the sanctity of a holy woman against an intruder after decades.

Squeeze.

I move my finger slightly inside.

[Mmph! Mmmmph!]

Stella screamed something incomprehensible.

‘It’s not just the appearance that’s maintained similarly. Even the inside feels like a normal body. Then what about internal organs?’

While pondering, a throbbing pain came from my finger.

Stella was biting my finger in her mouth strongly, and judging that my body might break, I carefully pulled it out.

[Stoooop! Stooooop!]

She cried and struggled.

[I-I’m sorry! Please! Stop now…!]

‘She even sheds tears. If the excitement subsides, will all this disappear?’

Saliva, sweat, fluid, tears, etc.

If she returns to her original soul state, will all traces disappear?

With the Dark Spiritmaster, we were in the forest so no traces remained, but this time the bedsheet is soaking wet.

[Hak! Hak! Hak!]

With my finger still inside, Stella seemed to be calming down somewhat.

I arranged her hair and asked:

“Please bear with me once more.”

[N-no!]

I see.

That’s enough.

I’ve done enough experiments, so I can continue my research with this, but…

[K-kiss.]

As I was about to withdraw, Stella reluctantly blurted out:

[If you k-kiss me, I’ll t-try to bear it a little more.]

Her pronunciation was slurred, which I found cute, so this time I gave her a deeper kiss, involving our tongues.

The sensation of her hot breath, the taste of her saliva, the feel of her lips and tongue were all more vivid than when we first started.

[Hwa! Hwa!]

After the kiss ended.

Looking at Stella catching her breath, she covered her face with both hands and nodded.

Shove!

[Kuh-ack!]

I started again.

As my finger moved inside her again, she arched her back violently as if having a seizure.

She let out a moan mixed with gasps.

[C-c-cancel! Cancel! S-sorry! No no!]

“Just a little more.”

I need to check inside.

I explore the inside with my finger, trying to understand as much as possible, as deeply as possible.

[Heh, hack! N-no! Huaaang!]

Something struck my hand and gushed out. As a result, my finger was pushed out.

With strength in both legs, her hips lifted, and fluid spurted forcefully from her womanhood.

That was the end.

Stella breathed heavily and collapsed with her eyes closed as if she had fainted.

‘Maybe I went too far…’

Absorbed in the idea of researching souls, I felt sorry seeing the mess in the room.

Anyway, she fainted despite being a soul.

Reaching out my hand, she was really breathing like a living person, with warm temperature and bodily waste products.

I obtained some samples, but as I regretted not flowing mana into her to understand how Stella’s mana flow was structured…

[You b-bastard…!]

Stella forcefully turned her body and buried her face in the pillow, her voice harsh.

Judging by the horns on her forehead and changed eyes, it seems Vellica emerged after Stella fainted.

[Stella was a virgin! You should have been more gentle!]

“You said sensations are shared.”

I nod, having momentarily forgotten. She exhales roughly and curses at me.

[Her body is much more sensitive than normal people, so be g-gentle.]

“……”

[Do you know h-how hard it was for Stella? Of course, it felt just as g-good…!]

Thud.

A mana-made rope extends and restrains both her hands.

[Huh?]

I raise her bound hands above her head and look down at her naked body, smooth from her neck down.

“Yes, I do feel sorry.”

[Hey, what are you doing…!]

“Come to think of it, you’re also a type of soul. You can be one of the foundations forming a spiritual body with Stella.”

[You crazy necromancer bastard!]

“Instead of Stella, bear with me a little more. It’s not simply about emotions. I want to further confirm the fundamental changes in mana that constitute the body.”

[W-wait! I felt it earlier too! If you do more now…!]

“Stella has lost consciousness, so it should be fine. I’m glad it’s you.”

Somehow, I felt like I had become the old Deus.

“With you as the subject, I feel neither a twinge of conscience nor a hint of sexual excitement.”

I began my research again.

[Nnnnngh!]
