“This, this is…”

As the notification confirming her will disappeared, an engraving began to emerge on Meiluina’s body. It started from her cheeks, forming wing-shaped engravings that extended from the corners of her mouth into her mouth.

Descending from her cheeks, just below, was a choker… no, it was more like a collar engraving, wrapping around Meiluina’s slender neck. The collar-like engraving had a thick line extending downward, but it was obscured by her clothes and blankets, so its full extent was not visible.

“A faint pink light emanates from it, so this is something… that thing.”

[That thing? What do you mean by “that”?]

“Well, I have to say it anyway. You know about spirit marks, right? These days, they often perform procedures at exclusive awakening centers, as reported in the news.”

“Um, excuse me! Mr. Stay! I am a sacred maiden! I have never even been touched by another man’s hand, I’m that pure! What kind of question are you asking me?!”

“…So you don’t know?”

“W-Well, I am recognized as a leading figure in this era, so I do have some knowledge about such social issues! At least!”

What are you saying? Coming here and claiming that to me won’t change anything. Disregarding Meiluina, who absurdly drew a line claiming her purity, I continued speaking.

“Anyway, the engraving that has appeared on your body now seems similar to those spirit marks. I’ve seen them several times while working as an emergency room assistant, and the feeling is quite similar.”

“S-Spirit marks?! There can’t be such a thing on my body! After being recognized as a sacred maiden, my body became impervious to such filthy engravings!”

“Because there’s no mana in your body right now. Could it be that the abnormal state nullification effect isn’t activated?”

“T-This is just… ridiculous.”

There’s something impossible? It’s because of the curse I received while conquering the EX-rank gate, which can easily penetrate even the abnormal state nullification blessing of a saintess.

[This is serious. This is really serious! I’ve worked so hard to build an image as a saintess who can be relieved and sucked without feeling any uneasiness, even if I’m considered a pure saintess, an immaculate saintess, or a favorite. But it turns out that an obscene mark has already been engraved all over my body… If this appearance is revealed to others, they will surely call me a corrupt saintess who carries an obscene mark behind the loose saintess robe…!]

However, May Lina seemed so unjustly distressed that she began to exclaim in dismay.

But what kind of saintess can be relieved and sucked without feeling any uneasiness, even if she’s considered a favorite? Was this woman even conscious of managing her fans’ feelings?

Considering that she had thoroughly acted up to that point, it was impressive enough to be felt deeply.

“Well, anyway, isn’t it okay since no one but me can see the mark that has appeared on your body?”

[······What? Oh, yes, that’s right! After all, even the Holy See recruited healing ability holders from around the world for a month and couldn’t find the curse! There’s no chance of revealing the fact that someone else has an obscene mark! Whew… That’s a relief.]

May Lina, who was genuinely relieved by my words, let out a sincere sigh.

But I couldn’t understand how she could sincerely sigh inwardly at this moment. But that’s not important right now. Let’s move on.

“It’s fortunate indeed. Then, should I check how far this mark extends? Can I check?”

I asked May Lina, who seemed relieved.

According to the description in the status window, which states that only she can inject positivity into the mark, I needed to know how far this mark extended in order to treat her.

It might be a sensitive and repulsive question, but well, the one who wants treatment should comply.

[Oh, yes. It’s for treatment, so it’s fine.]

Good, I got permission.

When May Luina heard the words about needing to imprint and the mention of a healing spell, she was almost delirious enough to fill an entire A4 page with her fantasies. But this time, she coolly granted permission.

Being a healer herself, she seemed to have no qualms about acts for the purpose of treatment.

“Yes, then I’ll undress.”

Ssslide. Clack. Clack.

With May Luina’s consent, I unfastened the buttons of her loose patient gown after removing the blanket she had been covering herself with.

[Yes, yes?! W-Wait, undress?! W-What, my clothes? Ah, aah! Y-You’re really undressing me?! S-Stop! No one should just see a maiden’s pure body like this!]

Simultaneously, the resistance that had been brewing as to why it wasn’t coming out turned into a sharp protest, ringing in my ears.

I had already removed all the buttons, leaving only a white brassiere on May Luina’s upper body, when I bluntly asked, “Why not? You said it’s okay.”

[I-I thought confirming meant checking through the status window! I didn’t know you’d suddenly undress me like this!]

Up until now, whenever I said anything, I had caused exaggerated delusions, so why couldn’t I use that skill this time when I actually wanted to? There was no point in nitpicking about this, and since it was also my fault for inadequate explanation, instead of arguing, I swallowed the inevitable reality.

“I can’t heal you if I don’t see the mark. Do you want to live as a plant person forever?”

[Ugh… N-No.]

“Alright then. I’ll finish undressing you.”

“W-Wait! I-I’m a virgin! I’m pure! I shouldn’t be exposed like this!”

She kept emphasizing her purity and virginity from earlier. It seemed like she was proudly maintaining her chastity, but honestly, I didn’t understand what that had to do with anything.

“Excuse me, I can relate.”

At 20, I became a debtor, spending my life paying off debts just like May Luina.

[Huh? No, yes?]

“Your so-called purity, I don’t think it’s something to boast about to me. I’m doing this to treat you, so why are you so dissatisfied?”

[Oh, I feel sorry for you…]

“You won’t get excited by looking at your body, so I’ll just take off your clothes for real now.”

[Huh?]

It’s not that I dislike her, but I had absolutely no interest in Meiruina.

I’m doing this because it’s necessary for me. Of course, Meiruina had a beautiful face and an equally beautiful body, but to me, it felt like looking at a statue with high artistic value but no personal interest.

Swiftly, the sound of fabric.

For this reason, without a shred of doubt, I took advantage of Meiruina’s momentary confusion due to my sympathetic declaration and completely stripped off her patient gown and bra with a purely professional attitude.

“…”

Her flawless, alabaster-like transparent half-nude figure was revealed, devoid of any blemishes. As expected, the pink mark that descended down her neck like a dog collar split into two branches near her clavicle, then traversed her ample chest and descended to her lower abdomen.

“…”

The thick lines branching out like ivy from the vicinity of her chest spread out in multiple directions, emitting a faint pink glow, and among these numerous vine-like tendrils, only two descended over her ribs, through her abdomen, and met again at her lower abdomen.

The meeting of the two lines on her lower abdomen unmistakably formed the shape of a uterus tattoo… the default form of a vaginal imprint.

Now that I knew where the imprint began and ended, it was time to administer the anesthesia. But I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

“I-I really stripped her… For the first time in my life, I showed my naked body to a man who used me as an emotional garbage can…”

It wasn’t because of Meiruina’s embarrassed and bewildered murmurs that my mind was thrown into disarray. It was simply because I didn’t have the presence of mind for such thoughts right now.

My goal was to confirm the engraving, but I couldn’t do anything and had to stay still for one reason.

[······Um, excuse me. Mr. Stay? Even though I forcibly undressed her a bit, shouldn’t you react in some way after seeing the naked body of a pure maiden saint who has worked quite hard to maintain her figure? Even if you look at it like you’re looking at an uninterested statue, you should have some reaction, right?]

“Wow.”

[Wow?]

“This is really embarrassing.”

[W-Wha-What are you talking about?!]

The reason I could only stay still despite having expected no interest or excitement as if looking at an uninteresting sculpture was because Mei Luina’s naked body shattered that expectation in an instant.

“Her royal milk jugs, seriously. You’ve been hiding such a provocative body under those baggy saintly robes?”

The provocative sight included large, well-rounded breasts similar in color to the seal of the engraving, beautiful pink nipples, a slim waistline with just the right amount of flesh, and even a perfectly shaped navel in the middle.

Even to someone like me who had no interest or liking for Mei Luina, her half-naked form was so powerful that it made my heart race.

[Huh? No, huh? W-Wait a moment, Mr. Stay. Wh-what did you just say after seeing my body…]

“Ah.”

It wasn’t until the moment when reason wavered and instinct sought that opening that I remembered one thing I had overlooked.

“Um, Mei Luina, I think this is the first time I’ve seen a woman’s naked body this clean. It’s natural to feel sympathy. Why didn’t I realize? It’s natural to be aroused by a body like this.”

[You said it again! You said you were aroused by seeing the pure body of a maiden again!]

For a man who had lived his whole life feeling sympathy, a woman’s naked body like this was incredibly effective in making his entire body tingle.

“I was worried about whether I could arouse sexual excitement before starting treatment. But seeing your arousing, perverted body has given me confidence.”

And this, undoubtedly, was a good omen for sexually exciting Mei Luina.

“I’m proud of it. I’ve worked so hard to build this body that I can be proud of. Thanks to that, I can actively engage in treatment.”

It was the first time I sincerely complimented Meiruina since meeting her.

[······I-I’m not happy at all!!!]
