Chapter 184: The Stolen
Virginity (1)

Denshi
frowned at the dazzling sunlight as she opened her eyes.

Her
mind felt foggy. She was strangely tired yet also felt as though she
had slept soundly.

It
was an odd sensation but not unpleasant.

Certainly,
it was much better than her days as a slave in the outlaw zone,
sleeping under straw covers.

‘It’s
all thanks to Master.’

Had
she not met Master, she would have continued being exploited as a
slave by that trash clan until they discarded her.

Never
before in her life had she carried someone in her heart and thought
about them for so long.

A
happy smile graced Denshi’s lips.

She
wiggled slightly under the cozy touch of the blanket.

The
soft sensation on her back, pressed against the bed, felt luxuriously
plush.

‘It
feels oddly damp, though⋯’

Still,
even that new sensation felt pleasant.

For
a fleeting moment, she reveled in the fluffy, soft sensation. But
then, something firm yet thrilling brushed against her neck.

It
was something far more delightful than the bed—something that made
her heart race with just a touch.

That
sensation jolted Denshi’s mind and her body, heavy with fatigue,
into full awareness.

“Ugh⋯?”

A
searing muscle ache emanated from inside her thighs, spreading
through her lower half.

Sharp
pain shot through the thick mound of her groin, her vagina, and even
the entrance to her womb, enough to bring tears to her eyes.

In
a normal situation, these were sensations she should never have felt.

Why
was she suddenly feeling such pain?

Caught
off guard by the strange unease, Denshi pulled the blanket aside and
sat up to survey her surroundings.

“⋯?”

The
bed was soaked, as if water had been poured over it.

The
white bed sheets were soaked with a sticky, unknown liquid and were
spattered with traces of reddish blood.

Moreover,
a transparent, jelly-like substance clung to her abdomen and was
beginning to harden.

The
mysterious fluid, concentrated on her abdomen, was also splattered
across her groin, chest, neck, and even around her mouth.

“⋯⋯⋯What?”

Her
throat stung as she murmured in a daze, as if she had screamed loudly
enough to lose her voice.

Confronted
with a scene that should not have been, Denshi froze.

It
was strange.

Something
felt⋯
very wrong.

‘How
did I fall asleep last night?’

She
distinctly remembered going to the Union leader’s mansion with
Master⋯
lying on the bed⋯
and passing out from exhaustion.

‘After
that⋯
I don’t remember.’

Her
memory was hazy, like it was shrouded in fog.

Something⋯
something had
happened while she was asleep.

“Mm⋯”

A
low voice, sounding like someone waking up, came from beside her.

Denshi’s
gaze darted toward the source of the sound.

Her
shaky eyes soon confronted the truth.

The
firm yet heavenly sensation she had felt earlier had been⋯
a man’s arm.

Her
trembling gaze scanned his body.

Just
looking at him made her face flush and her heart race. His face and
his divine physique were mesmerizing.

Kiss
marks adorned his thick neck, faded into slight bruises. His broad,
muscular back, along with other parts of his body, bore scratches and
nail marks.

Denshi
knew exactly who the owner of that body was.

“⋯Master⋯?”

Her
only master.

The
man to whom she had sworn lifelong loyalty⋯
and whom she loved.

He
was lying next to her, completely naked.

At
the sound of her voice, he opened his eyes, his expression drowsy.

“⋯Mmm,
did you sleep well?”

His
voice, softer than usual, sounded like that of a superior male
comforting a female in his embrace.

The
tone made Denshi’s heart sink.

“Denshi
is free now!”

After
Intertt left, Denshi raised her arms high and cheered.

Freedom,
huh.

[◆
The Curse of the 30th Puppet]

Clink—

I
glanced at the status window before me and the leash in Denshi’s
hand.

It
didn’t seem like freedom, no matter how you looked at it.

Well,
it was her perspective, so I let it slide.

“What
will you do now?”

“Huh?”

“You’ve
been granted free activity, haven’t you?”

The
black orb Denshi received from Intertt.

Intertt
had said to come back when it turned white. In effect, Denshi, who
had been working with Intertt, had received a year-long vacation.

Intertt’s
words carried a nuance that she should stay near me in the meantime,
but Denshi might have different plans.

If
she had something else in mind, I was willing to let her go.

“Of
course, I’ll stay with you, Master. Where else would a slave go
without their master?”

Denshi
grinned as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, her tone
implying she hadn’t even considered any alternatives.

What
a loyal one.

I
patted her head lightly, and she chuckled.

“But⋯
why did your teacher, Intertt, suddenly grant you a vacation? Did she
mention anything like this before?”

“No,
she never said anything like that⋯
Maybe she thought I’d get stronger faster exploring dungeons with
you rather than under her guidance?”

Was
that really her intent? Somehow, I doubted it.

I
couldn’t pry open Intert’s head to find out, but⋯

–She
cherishes you quite a bit. That means you, too, will be used as an
offering for the ‘Great Wish.’

I
recalled Intertt’s muttered words.

The
fact that she said ‘you too’ implied that Denshi would also be
used as an offering for the Great Wish.

But
what exactly was the Great Wish?

It
was clear whose Great Wish it was. She seemed to follow the
Puppeteer.

‘What
kind of purpose does the Puppeteer have, to need both Denshi and me?’

“Do
you know anything about this?”

“Hmm⋯
I don’t know much either⋯
but doesn’t it probably have to do with planting curses on people?”

“Hmm⋯”

I
folded my arms, pondering, but no clear answers came to mind.

Sigh.

I
exhaled deeply to clear my head.

Thinking
further about it didn’t seem likely to yield meaningful answers.
For now, I decided to focus on sorting out the situation.

Since
Denshi had decided to stick around for the time being⋯

“Is
this your party’s lodging, disciple?”

In
front of Idelbert’s mansion.

Idelbert
sighed as he saw me dragging along my heavily intoxicated party
members and the Fusilini Party.

“At
this rate, people will think this mansion is your house.”

“I
tried finding another inn to let them sleep in, but the tiny inns
either had no vacancies or were ridiculously overpriced⋯”

Eden
was a miraculous sanctuary for adventurers, but it didn’t have the
infrastructure of Valerus on the surface.

As
a result, prices for everything—from tavern drinks to food,
necessities, and lodging—had skyrocketed at least fivefold.

Adventurers
earned more, and the location’s logistics made high prices
inevitable.

That’s
why I had suddenly thought of Idelbert’s mansion and came here.

With
his arms crossed and an unwilling expression, Idelbert cast a glance
at my party members.

“Please,
just this once. You live alone in this big house, don’t you? We’ll
make it lively for you.”

Sigh.

Idelbert,
who had been furrowing her brow at the earnest request, sighed as if
she had no choice.

“Since
my disciple asked me so much, I can’t help it. Just this once.”

“Thank
you, Master!”

“Yes.
You will respect and follow me more.”

“I
will serve you for the rest of my life.”

“⋯⋯ Forever?”

“Yes?”

“Ah,
ahem. Ahem!”

Idelbert,
who suddenly let out a flustered voice, cleared the air and called
the servants of the mansion.

“My
lord. Thank you for your hard work!”

“Uuuuu⋯
Let go of this⋯
I’m going to spit out breast milk⋯?”

“Bbaelrutu
Ppoi Ppoi⋯”

“All
the maids⋯
Are you following the girl⋯”

The
slightly drunken party members were quickly carried away by the
servants’ hands.

Idelbert’s
mansion was spacious and luxurious enough to easily accommodate a
dozen people.

“Wow⋯”

While
looking around the mansion, Denshi looked around blankly.

Her
expression couldn’t hide her admiration, as if she had never been
to such a nice facility before.

“Who
is that guy?”

Idelbert’s
eyes turned to Denshi.

“Oh,
hello. Union leader. I am Denshi, who serves the master.”

“Master⋯?”

Idelbert
slightly blinked her eyes and glanced at me, then crossed her arms
and came over to Denshi.

Sniff
sniff.

Denshi,
who had frozen stiffly and didn’t know what to do, followed
Idelbert’s eyes as she circled around her and sniffed.

“It
smells impure. And⋯”

Idelbert
narrowed her eyes as she smelled Denshi.

“And
it’s even carrying an annoying curse.”

It
wasn’t as detailed as the status window, but Idelbert seemed to
have roughly figured out the curse attached to Denshi.

“Well,
in a way, it’s a common curse.”

Idelbert
turned his gaze back to me.

“She’s
my slave. She’s been away for a while because of some
circumstances…”

When
I briefly explained what happened in the brief moment, she let out a
hollow laugh.

“Disciple.
From what I’ve seen, it seems like your calling is to be a shadow.
You bring all kinds of dangers and incidents, so if you just raise
your body well, you’ll quickly build up your achievements. Are you
really not going to do it? This master will take good care of you.”

Shadow.

From
what she said, it seemed like she was talking about the elites of the
association that hunted down those related to devil worshippers like
Nuer.

“Can’t
we talk about it later?”

I
am a little tired right now. I’ve been through a lot in one day.

“Okay.
I’ve already sent the party members in, so rest for a while.”

“Thank
you, Master. Sleep well.”

“Yes.
Sleep well, you too.”

I
nodded to Idelbert, who waved, and climbed the stairs.

“You’ll
use the next room for now.”

Eh
… The stigmata of patience that Serif had carved through the
service of penitence, was shattered last night.

‘The
stigmata of patience. The effect was really bad.’

While
coming down the labyrinth, the sexual desire that I hadn’t even
thought about began to raise its head again.

If
Intertt had shown up a few days later and told me to make Denshi
orgasm.

Maybe,
I would have just made the hot slave pussy into a cum-pickled thing
on the street.

If
the [Dissatisfaction] stat changed to [Very Serious Dissatisfaction],
there would be no answer.

At
that time, all the females around me would be considered mating
targets.

‘I’ll
have to deal with it alone in my room.’

Whoaaah!

I
filled a bucket with cold water and poured it on my head and finished
showering.

I
returned to my room wearing the white bathrobe prepared by the
mansion’s servants, and took the tissue box provided in the shower
room.

Squeak–

Into
the room I entered like that.

My
eyes were immediately drawn to ‘something’ on the bed.

A
soybean paste container.

In
a nice way, a butt.

Sway.
Sway.

A
pure white and soft butt was sticking out from under the blanket.

I
don’t remember seeing it directly, but the moment I saw that soft
and plump silhouette, I immediately knew whose butt it was.

“Denshi.
What are you doing?”

“⋯⋯”

Denshi,
who had her upper body covered with a blanket and her lower body
sticking out, was shaking her butt gently, seducing me.

As
if she was asking me to shove it in here.
