For Sale. Fallen Lady. Never Used.

Chapter 196: To The Church Of Righteous Radiance (1)

Though the vacation had begun, nothing seemed to have changed.

Of course, given my objectives, I couldn’t fully relax even during the vacation…

“This is way too intense, though?!”

As I buried my face into Iris’s flat chest, she awkwardly patted the back of my head.

“Hmm. I know you’re going through a lot, Master. But isn’t it effective? You’ve managed to dissolve your magic power in just two days.”

“So what?! It’s still not working properly! I keep getting hit all the time! I was trying to get back at them…!”

“But, Master, you make them suffer a lot in bed. Besides, Blood Force is a profound technique. It may seem brutal, but there’s meticulous calculation behind it.”

“…I know that part too.”

Blood Force was not just an advanced version of physical enhancement. Its essence lay in imitating aura with magic.

If I succeed, there would be numerous ways to utilize it.

For example, resistance.

When mana is enhanced, resistance to mental magic and poison naturally increases.

The same goes for aura. In fact, in terms of effect, aura is much better.

But what if I could imitate aura?

By circulating mana through mana circuits and Blood Force-infused blood through veins, I could doubly enhance resistance.

There would be countless other applications as well.

Though many aspects couldn’t be replicated as it’s not real aura… as long as it’s confined to physical effects, most of it could be emulated.

Naturally, it’s a magic that would be highly sought after by physically frail magicians.

Well… assuming one had more than four times the normal regenerative power or drinks continuous recovery potions like water.

“But it’s still tough.”

I sighed deeply and rubbed my head further into Iris’s chest.

I could feel her ribs.

“Come to think of it, you’re only twenty years old, Master.”

“Huh? Well, yeah?”

“And it’s only been a little over three years since you came into the world.”

“Right.”

I was 22 on Earth, and it had been about three years since I reincarnated into this world.

But this was quite good in its own way.

Though small, the definite feel of her chest and the sensation of my cheek pressing against her ribs when I exert force.

I thought I’d found Iris’s other charm point.

Despite her seemingly unaware of my intentional rubbing, she firmly embraced my head.

“…You’ve been through a lot. This time, the results were good, but they were quite close. More significant dangers await ahead.”

“Well, it’s the path I had chosen. No one else can do it, so I have no choice.”

Honestly, I’d love to spend my time leisurely, splurging on the gold accumulated in my inventory.

But knowing I might die in a few years, I couldn’t bring myself to do that.

Though I shrugged lightly, Iris tenderly patted my head with a sorrowful look.

“I see… In that case, at least rest now. You can lay down your burden while you’re in my embrace. I hope to become a nest where you can always fold your wings and rest.”

“…”

What is this? I just came to whine, but now I’m suddenly getting sincere comfort. The atmosphere is too awkward to say it was nothing.

Moreover, this feeling of being petted… I don’t dislike it….

The maternal affection I felt from the tiny Iris. The strange imbalance made me feel drowsy.

Maybe that’s why. Without realizing it, I bit down on Iris’s bouncy chest over her clothes.

“Mmmp.”

“Huuh?! Oh dear, even though it’s still bright outside and we have to go out for lunch… but since Master wants it so much, I can’t help it.”

Despite her words, Iris, a little breathless with anticipation, trembled as she unbuttoned her top to reveal her modest chest.

Plok!

“Were you hiding here, Junior? Even if today’s training was tough, how could you disappear without a word? It’s almost time to prepare and go out… oh.”

Suddenly, Faye burst in, panting, and flinched at the sight of me clinging to Iris.

Then, with a look of resolution, she nodded.

“I understand. If my junior wants it….”

Faye’s eyes spun as if she had decided on something. Her face flushed with misunderstanding, she slowly took off her top.

Jiggle.

A tremor much larger than Iris’s.

Just seeing it made my mind shake as well.

“Wow…”

“Master?!”

As if possessed. No, actually, captivated by Faye’s chest, I stood up abruptly.

Iris, who was clutching her chest behind me, seemed to say something, but I couldn’t hear well.

Probably because I was too focused on Faye’s chest.

But apparently, my dazed state seemed frustrating to Faye.

“Hmm… Is this not enough? Hey! Hey!”

Faye lightly shook her chest from side to side. Though it was a gentle motion, her large, soft breasts reacted sensitively.

Clap, clap.

The sound of Faye’s breasts clashing as they shook vigorously.

Drawn by the clapping sound, I staggered toward Faye.

“Master! Pull yourself together! Isn’t this the time you lean on me?!”

“Chest…”

“Ugh! Why is it that only big-breasted women surround Master?! Even Iona, who recently joined, has large breasts, but why am I…?!”

Iris stomped her feet in frustration.

…That’s kind of cute.

Actually, I wasn’t as dazed as Iris thought, but her reaction was amusing, so I maintained a blank expression as if hypnotized.

In front of me, Faye seemed a bit flustered, thinking it was real.

“C-Come here! Over here, Junior!”

“Boobs… bigger than my head….”

As I mumbled vaguely and reached Faye, she suddenly enveloped my face with her breasts.

“Gotcha… Now, Junior, you can’t escape from here. Your home is between my breasts… huhu.”

…Was that a sigh of relief or a creepy sigh?

Anyway, feeling the soft touch against my cheek and the hands pulling my back, I spoke up.

“What time is it, Senior?”

“Huh?! Oh… time. Yes….”

A somewhat dejected Faye glanced at the watch on her wrist and replied.

“It’s 12:50. We have to leave by 1.”

“Darn… Time has flown by. Where’s everyone else?”

“They’re all ready and waiting. I came to find you because you were missing.”

“Alright. I’ll get ready and head to the living room right away.”

“Okay.”

Only then did Faye release my face from her chest and tidied up her clothes.

After watching her for a moment, I turned to Iris, who was pouting with her cheeks puffed up, and cast a clean spell on her.

“Eek!”

“Since we’re in a hurry, let’s use this to clean up.”

I also cast the clean spell on myself and took out the prepared travel clothes from my inventory to change into.

But as Iris struggled with her top, putting her head where her arms should go, I helped her dress correctly.

“You’re supposed to put your head through the head hole, not the arm hole…”

“Alright. Now, let’s check if we’re leaving anything behind.”

“Got it.”

While others and I packed necessary items in our dimensional pockets, Iris might leave something behind as she lives in the mansion.

After checking her workshop thoroughly, Iris toddled over and hugged my arm.

It was flat and soft.

“…What is it?”

“You’re the most important, Master. I’m holding on tight so I don’t lose you.”

Iris, with puffed cheeks, made a cute face.

I gently pressed her cheeks to release the air inside and asked.

“Elisha might get upset if she hears this.”

“…Elisha is also number one, so it’s okay.”

A slightly embarrassed voice.

As Iris averted her gaze, I laughed and lifted her up.

“Yah!”

Maybe because her feet suddenly left the ground, Iris clung to me like a cicada.

With Iris perched on my arm, I raised my hand high. Thanks to my increased strength stats, she didn’t feel heavy.

Iris, now upside down, crawled onto my shoulder.

Holding Iris piggyback, I headed to the living room with Faye.

The others had already prepared. Pamela and her family decided to stay at the mansion.

Though all three were skilled magicians… it wasn’t like we were going to a fight, so we needed someone to guard the house.

Even if not, staying away meant we needed someone in contact with the academy.

Feeling the gazes of Carla, Elisha, Iris, Faye, and Iona, I shrugged.

“Let’s head out. Helena is waiting.”

Yes, today was the day we promised to visit the Church of Righteous Radiance with Helena.

Though I was going to decline the apostle position… there was another purpose.

They say that entering the holy site with a high-rank blessing allows you to hear the god’s oracle.

If I were reincarnated into this world by a transcendent being, the Righteous Radiance, another transcendent being, might know something.

Of course, I couldn’t reveal that I came from another world… but maybe I could get a hint?

It was a faint hope, but better than no clue at all.

After briefly greeting Pamela’s family, we headed to the meeting place.

“Brother…? Who is that child on your back…?”

“Oh.”

I forgot to put Iris down.

At 517 years old, being called a child, Iris quickly covered her ears and muttered.

“W-Waah.”

With her long ears, it was obvious she was a high elf.
