The Fox Deity, who was glaring at me with a determined attitude after taking a deep breath, shook her head vigorously at my words.

“Fine, if you offer a sincere apology, will you stop causing suicide disturbances?”

“I won’t. If you’re really worried, why not write a letter of apology? But seriously? Will the noble Fox Deity offer a sincere apology to this lowly disciple?”

She should make some sense.

Judging by how she kept muttering ‘disciple’ at the end of her sentences, she seemed to have quite the pride. If her pride is that strong, wouldn’t she choose death over apologizing to me?

Well… even if she does apologize, it doesn’t matter as long as it looks good on her.

The Fox Deity, who was coughing awkwardly, blushed and spoke to me in a soft voice.

“If I can take away one weakness from you, a sincere apology is nothing. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even if it takes ten years.”

“Do whatever you want for revenge. I’ll find my own way.”

Pausing my drawing for a moment, I took in the embarrassed expression on the Fox Deity’s face.

…Exactly the face I wanted.

One of the most embarrassing faces in the world.

In terms of embarrassing faces in adult manga, if we were to list the top three, they would be as follows:

The face of Ahoge, who has gone overboard and completely lost it.

The face of utter despair right before everything falls apart due to not being able to accept the harsh reality in front of them.

And finally, the face of utter embarrassment that they don’t want to do but have to do, only coming out in truly embarrassing situations.

Honestly, while the first and second are undoubtedly embarrassing expressions, they appear so frequently in manga that they can be considered a bit cliché.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re still embarrassing.

But what about the third one?

It’s subtly common yet surprisingly rare.

After watching five manga, each one popping up as a delicacy, when you meet someone who can really make it embarrassing, you can’t help but lose your composure.

That’s why it never gets old, always fresh and thrilling.

But now, there’s something so thrilling in front of me that my head might explode?

Ah… I really can’t stand this.

The Fox Deity, with her embarrassed expression and even a contemptuous look, bestowed upon me an incredible reward.

Is that all? Is she really planning to do a naked apology, as her clothes began to slowly slip off?

“…Don’t stare so blatantly. I feel like gouging out your eyeballs.”

“If I gouge out your eyeballs, your charm will diminish, and you won’t be able to gather energy. Even though having a lazy eye has become a trend due to changing times, there are still plenty of people who dislike lazy eyes.”

“Do you think I wouldn’t know something so simple? Even if the times change, people’s preferences don’t change easily. Unless it’s an ancient era that I didn’t exist in, a mere difference of a few hundred years won’t make much of a change.”

“Are you living for hundreds of years? You’re different from your pretty appearance… If you’re going to apologize, do it quickly. I feel like losing my mind right now.”

“Don’t interrupt. I was about to do it anyway.”

As her clothes slowly slid down, revealing her round and pure white shoulders, a strong scent of blood began to emanate from her, making me feel lightheaded.

“Blood…? Why is blood suddenly rushing to my head?”

Am I just tired?

No, I’m forcing myself to stay awake all night using my mental strength, but it doesn’t make sense for this much blood to be flowing.

It’s just one night, isn’t it?

It’s not even two days, just one night, and it doesn’t make sense for this much blood to be flowing darkly.

As I hurriedly pulled out tissue from the tissue box on the desk, the fox goddess calmly asked me a question.

– A lot of blood is flowing. Are you okay?

“I’m fine. Just continue. If we don’t finish quickly, I feel like I might faint from dizziness.”

– Your body is already faint. If you faint just by showing your sternum, what will you do?

At her words, looking down on me as if I were pathetic, I realized the reality and turned my dizzy gaze away, collapsing to the floor.

“Ugh… damn. Am I feeling embarrassed because I look ridiculous?”

– It’s possible. Your body at its peak is said to make even the most beautiful flowers look ugly.

She met my eyes, smiled slyly, and spoke.

– Will you continue? It looks dangerous.

“Hehe… If I thought I would just faint from a little blood, I wouldn’t have even brought it up. Keep going, even if you oxidize here, your naked body will be seen and die.”

If a man draws a sword, he must be prepared to use it.

If I miss this opportunity now, I may not be able to see the fox goddess’s naked body next time.

I blocked the flowing blood with tissue, slapped my cheek to regain focus, and said to her.

“What are you doing, insisting on continuing? Aren’t you scared of threatening suicide?”

– You’re truly vulgar. Sacrificing your life just to see a goddess’s naked sternum, that determination is admirable in a different way.

“Stop with the nonsense and that ridiculous figure…”

I tried to continue speaking, but when I saw the fox goddess’s sternum again.

Splat!

The blood continued to flow, dirtying the ground.

“Why…?”

I definitely blocked it tightly with tissue, so why?

Unlike before, I felt less tired and more clear-headed, but why?

Before I could finish my thoughts, my body suddenly became heavy, and my stomach began to churn madly.

“Ugh… Uwaaaaaah!!!”

Feeling the disgusting sensation rising up from inside, I vomited without even thinking about going to the bathroom, and the fox goddess clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

– A normal human would go crazy and die just by looking at my sternum, but you endured without even reaching that point.

“Ugh… Ugh… What is this?”

– It’s exactly as it sounds. Even a seasoned monk who has trained and emptied their mind to reach enlightenment. When they see my body, their desires boil over and they go crazy. It’s a miracle that you’re still alive.

“Then did you allow it, did you intentionally allow it? You’re not in your right mind, goddess.”

– Haha, even the saints aren’t in their right minds. Is there such a thing as a god being in their right mind? I’m sorry. Since you didn’t react even after seeing my sternum, out of curiosity, I showed you my chest as well.

The fox goddess put her disheveled clothes back on, bowed her head to me, and apologized.

– Be careful not to let this happen again. It’s all my fault.

“No, it’s not your fault.”

– I almost carelessly almost killed the only saint. And you say it’s not my fault?

“No, it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for fainting without even seeing anything.”

Yes, this is clearly my fault.

To almost die just by looking into a dark valley inside soft flesh, without even being a virgin?

It’s impossible.

She praised herself for just seeing her own collarbone as something remarkable, but to me, those words felt like nothing but an insult.

If the desire to seek color was lacking, it meant my love for the fox deity was lacking.

The meaning of those words was nothing but a statement that I did not truly love the fox deity.

Feeling unbearable humiliation, I approached the fox deity and said, “Again.”

– What?

“I haven’t received the dokgeja yet. Let’s start over from the beginning.”

The fox deity, who had been looking into my eyes with a wavering gaze, made a dumbfounded expression and spoke to me in a bewildered voice.

– Didn’t I just say that I almost died? Or, if you didn’t hear, say it again. You still lack the energy and vitality to look at my body. It’s a miracle that you’ve endured this far with just greed. If you go further from here, you will surely die.

“No? I won’t die. Absolutely not. You insulted me. What? My greed is only enough to see the Mammatong Valley? Don’t be ridiculous. My greed is not just that much.”

– Ridiculous. There is nothing more foolish than not knowing oneself in this world. You have already proven that your greed is immense, so what use is there in proving it further? Don’t act arrogantly, just go to sleep now.

“I, I said I haven’t received the dokgeja yet. Take off your clothes, right now.”

– …You really went crazy to die. Fine, if your soul goes crazy and disappears, I will take over that body and use it for you. No complaints, right?

To her stern voice, I opened my mouth with a bright smile.

“It’s impossible. If I die like this, wouldn’t it be a heroic death? Even in hell, they might all look up to me as a real man.”

– Pfft… I’ll say there’s no one as stupid as you. Sacrificing your life just to see the fox deity’s breast, my disciple is truly piercing the sky with foolishness.

With a sigh, she began to carefully remove the neatly dressed clothes.

One strand.

Once again, her pitiful and round shoulders cautiously revealed themselves.

Her eyes began to well up.

Another strand.

The lewd valley I had seen before reappeared.

The taste of blood began to fill my mouth.

A little more.

Just a little more.

My affection for the fox deity would not stop at just that lewd valley.

As blood dripped from my nose and tears of blood flowed from my eyes, I watched the fox deity undress.

And when she removed the next strand to reveal the perfect form of the fruit.

My vision went dark.
