Episode 189: Let’s Try Dipping A Bitch’s Pussy Into The Sun’s Asshole (1)

Tap- tap- tap-

Helen crossed her arms, tapping the tip of her shoe nervously on the square floor in front of the clock tower.

“What on earth is taking so long?”

With a grumble, Helen looked up to check the time and clicked her tongue inwardly.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t late.

It was still five minutes before the appointed time.

But wasn’t there such a thing as ‘manners’?

Arriving at least 15 minutes before the appointment and waiting for the other person, especially when meeting someone of her stature, was a basic courtesy.

‘How long has it been since I, Helen Redrose, waited for someone…?’

But was it because she was a candidate for the next saint?

To start a battle of nerves like this before even meeting.

Of course, she had also played her own mind game by arriving 10 minutes before the appointment, later than usual, but since the other person was even later, it was meaningless.

“Haa… let’s be patient, Helen. Patience. Pride is nothing to a merchant, right? Just having this chance to meet in person is a big step forward.”

Calming herself down, Helen carefully checked her reflection in the nearby shop window.

Red hair neatly arranged without a single strand out of place, vibrant, lively green eyes.

“…Hmm! Perfect!”

Helen, wearing a confident smile, tucked her hair behind her ear.

Her skin was in exceptionally good condition today.

At this rate, that man wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off her.

“No, but shouldn’t he at least be on time? To dare to be late for me, Helen… tsk, and here he comes.”

Was it because he was a man whose looks and sex appeal were undeniable?

Ian’s silhouette, standing out from afar as if he were the only one in the world.

The irritation that had been simmering down quickly subsided, and a smile crept onto Helen’s lips without her realizing it.

“…Hmph!”

But that was only for a moment.

The moment she saw the pink-haired woman clinging to Ian’s arm, holding his hand as if she owned him, Helen’s expression turned icy.

Helen pressed her lips tightly together and moved towards the two of them.

Step- step-

As the distance closed, Ian, noticing Helen, waved and greeted her.

“Helen, you’re early.”

“Heh heh… how could I be late for a precious appointment with the next saint candidate? I hurried a bit. You two arrived right on time.”

Speaking with a subtle barb, Helen turned her gaze to Yuris next to Ian.

And just for a moment…

She almost forgot to breathe.

Soft pink hair that looked so lush it was almost fluffy, and beneath it, large, innocent-looking eyes.

Yuris, seen up close, reminded her of an expensive pet that noble ladies cherished.

Even so, Helen thought she was by no means inferior in terms of looks, but…

‘…Wh-wh-what is that!?’

Helen’s eyes shook with astonishment.

It was definitely not this size when she saw her at the academy?

What on earth had happened? Even though she was wearing saintess robes that didn’t reveal her figure well, her ‘sacred power pouches’ were displaying an overwhelming presence.

Swoosh-

Helen’s gaze involuntarily went to her own chest.

Swearing to the goddess Elise, it was by no means small.

Rather, she prided herself on having the perfect golden ratio for Helen’s slender figure.

But… compared to the unrealistic ‘sacred power pouches’ in front of her, she couldn’t deny that hers looked shabby.

‘Aaaargh! Seriously, is this even possible?! The golden-haired mad dog and that second princess too!! Does all the nutrition only go to their tits? How much time do I invest in managing my figure!! How on earth do they get that big!! The babies are going to burst!!’

Suppressing the jealousy and anger boiling inside, Helen put on the most elegant and relaxed smile she could muster.

“Lady Yuris, it’s nice to meet you… well, not really. We’ve crossed paths a few times at the academy.”

“Yes! Lady Helen! Long time no see!”

“Oh my? I’m honored that you remember my name. I was very disappointed that I didn’t have the chance to talk to the saintess candidate directly, but I’m glad to meet you like this.”

“Ehehe! Really? I’m also very honored to meet Lady Helen!”

Crack-!

Even while exchanging greetings, Yuris didn’t let go of Ian’s hand, as if showing off, and a thin vein popped on Helen’s forehead.

‘Is she provoking me? Is she really provoking me? Ha! Me! Seriously! Just because she’s in a slightly advantageous position?? Unbelievable! And that man is also a problem!! Bringing her here is one thing, but holding her hand in front of me until the end?? He should cut it off and come here!?’

Huff- huff-

Helen took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She shouldn’t fall for such childish provocations.

A merchant should never forget their composure in any situation.

“Well, then… since we can’t just keep talking while standing here… shall we move somewhere else?”

Helen moved, trying to control her face, which was twitching with a forced smile.

“…So, you’re the one who made the restaurant reservation, Lady Yuris?”

“Yes! Lady Helen, it’s a place I really like and come to often. The food is very delicious!”

“Heh heh… I see.”

Arriving in front of the restaurant, Helen involuntarily pressed her temple.

A carnivore-focused restaurant for beast people? Or an omakase run by elves? Or a place where you can taste exotic dishes full of demonic spices?

She had prepared compliments for any place she had booked…

But the scene before her eyes had tragically missed all of Helen’s expectations.

‘…Seriously, we’re eating here?’

She had been feeling uneasy since they left the downtown area and entered a dark back alley, but she didn’t expect it to be this bad.

The ‘restaurant’ in front of Helen was extremely shabby.

The brick exterior was faded in places, and the old wooden sign hanging at the entrance had its letters faintly erased, making it difficult to even recognize the name.

Above all, even Helen, who had sampled all kinds of ‘gourmet’ food, smelled an unidentified food for the first time.

‘Ugh… seriously… what is this smell… why this place of all places… could it be…?’

Was it possible that the saintess candidate had no intention of negotiating from the start and deliberately chose such a shabby place just to mess with her?

As an extremely reasonable suspicion arose, Helen looked at Yuris with suspicious eyes, but…

“Hehe! Ah! Smelling it makes me hungry already. Come on! This way! Come in!”

Whether she knew Helen’s inner thoughts or not, Yuris waved with a bright face and went inside first.

“Chef! Three servings of what we always get!”

“Yes, Lady Yuris.”

Seeing her order familiarly without even looking at the menu, it seemed that what she said about coming here often was not a lie.

Feeling a little relieved, Helen regained her composure and spoke.

“Well, I have something prepared to commemorate this meeting.”

“Huh! Is it a present? I’m sorry, I didn’t prepare anything…”

“It’s okay. It’s just something I wanted to give you. Then…”

Helen carefully took out a bottle of wine from her leather bag and proudly presented her chest.

“Chateau de Lumière 457 vintage. As you know, Lumière wine is a rare item produced in very small quantities only when the best climate conditions are met each year. Especially this 457 vintage, which was selected with particularly strict standards, had an extremely small production volume. I don’t think there are even twenty bottles left in this perfect condition on the entire continent.”

This wine, which is talked about like a legend among gourmets, with the saying, ‘I would sell my soul for a sip of the 457 vintage!’ was literally worth whatever someone would pay for it.

Pour-

Helen, the successor of Redrose, who had a hard time getting even this precious wine, poured it into three glasses with careful hands.

“Well, then! To commemorate our successful meeting.”

For the first time since meeting Yuris, Helen brought the wine glass to her lips with a sincere and bright smile.

‘Haaah♥!…Th-this is it!…Haa…! Oo…it’s been a while..!Ugh!’

The moment the wine touched her tongue, Helen’s ‘gourmet constitution’ reacted violently.

With the deep and rich aroma and complex flavor spreading in her mouth, Helen even felt a light ‘climax’ without realizing it.

“Heh! It looks very delicious! Then I’ll have a sip too!!”

Yuris, who had been watching with curious eyes, also raised her glass and took a sip of the wine, and then…

“Ptooey-!!”

She spewed the wine from her mouth onto the table like a fountain.

“….”

A moment of silence flowed.

How on earth should she explain this situation?

Even the great Helen couldn’t manage her expression and stared at Yuris.

‘That, that, that crazy pink-haired woman! What on earth is she doing!!!!!’

Helen screamed inwardly.

Did she even realize that a single mouthful of the wine she just spat out was worth more than a fully optioned carriage?

No, money wasn’t the issue.

The 457 vintage was something that was hard to get again even with money.

Even Helen couldn’t guarantee how many more times she would be able to taste it in her lifetime.

And yet, she wasted it like that!!

“…Haa… I’m sorry. I thought I’d be okay since I’ve had wine a few times, but this is too bitter.”

After a while, Yuris, who had come to her senses, hurriedly apologized.

“Just a moment… ah! Excuse me, can I get some honey to mix with the wine?”

“Yes, I’ll bring it right away.”

“…What?”

Helen couldn’t believe her ears at Yuris’s order.

This wine was a perfect work of art in itself. And yet, she was going to dare to mix honey into such precious wine?

Just as Helen, who had reached the limit of her patience, began to boil inside.

“Here’s your order! I’ve brought the honey too!”

The waiter placed the dish on the table.

“….?”

Helen’s gaze was fixed on ‘something’ on the plate.

No, could this really be called ‘food’?

Wasn’t calling this food an insult to food?

Logically, chicken skewers covered in chocolate sauce and piled high with fresh mint leaves couldn’t be food!!

“….What is this?”

“Haa! M-mint chocolate chicken skewers, it’s our signature menu!! This and pineapple pizza are really delicious! Huff! Huff!”

At that moment, Helen was overwhelmed with a strong urge to blow up the entire restaurant.

Mint chocolate alone was close to a crime, but to eat it with chicken?

She looked like a puppy, and this was what she ate?

No, even a dog wouldn’t eat this, would it? Could this really be eaten?

“Here!! Lady Helen! Eat it while it’s hot!!”

“…Th-then, just a bite.”

However, she couldn’t refuse because of Yuris, who was drooling and looking at her with expectant eyes.

Helen raised the skewer with trembling hands.

And she closed her eyes tightly and carefully took a bite, and…

“……!?”

Mint chocolate chicken clearly licked Helen’s tongue and exploded.
