For Sale. Fallen Lady. Never Used.

Chapter 206: Faye’s Payday (4)

A morning that arrived after a pitch-dark midnight and a dim dawn.

The rising sun now lights up the hazy forest.

As I looked at the world that had regained its original colors, I couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Haaaa…”

Although I stayed up all night, the refreshing feeling that I hadn’t experienced in a while lingered throughout my body.

The morning breeze blew. Enjoying the sound of birds chirping from afar while naked, I slowly looked down.

“Hee… Hoo…”

There was Faye, making strange breathing sounds with her eyes spinning round and round.

Sitting on the ground with her legs slightly spread and stretched out.

The neatly worn nun’s habit was a mess, torn apart, revealing her white skin without any reservations, and on top of all that, white semen was smeared messily.

“Drip.”

“Heek!”

Faye flinched at the late sensation of semen trickling down between her red, swollen legs.

I thought she had completely lost it, but it seemed her senses were still intact.

With a bitter smile, I cast a Clean spell on Faye and dressed her in her original clothes, which were scattered behind the tree.

Finally, I fed her a potion and then carried her on my back.

“Up we go.”

“Hooo… Heh?”

Still not fully conscious, Faye’s butt wiggled as I held her firmly with one hand while looking at the nun’s habit left behind.

Although it was cleaned by the Clean spell, the important parts were still torn and in a mess.

But there was no need to worry. Although the protective function was gone after removing the church’s symbol, it still had basic features like auto-repair and size adjustment.

If left alone, it would repair itself.

I neatly folded it and put it in Faye’s subspace. In my inventory, time doesn’t flow, so it wouldn’t repair itself.

“Shall we head back now?”

It seemed I really had a lot piled up. The world looked beautiful after just letting it all out once.

A hum naturally escaped my lips. The feel of Faye’s chest pressing against my back made my steps lighter with each step.

Humming like that, I retraced my steps back.

“Huh?”

There was a puddle of water in the bushes a little distance away.

Huh? It didn’t rain, though…

Well, it was a forest, so there could be various reasons. Maybe it was a spot where dew gathered, or there was an underground stream below, or something.

It wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t think much of it and adjusted my grip on Faye’s butt.

“Mmm… Huh? J-Junior?”

Faye, just waking up, mumbled in a half-asleep voice.

I lightly rubbed my cheek against Faye’s cheek resting on my shoulder.

“Did you wake up, Senior Faye?”

“Uuuh… I’m awake. I’m awake, so stop it… I can’t open my eyes.”

“Oh. That’s good. If you can’t see, I can carry you like this forever.”

“…It’s a little creepy, but I hate myself for being momentarily tempted.”

At Faye’s deep sigh, we both burst into laughter.

The sound of our laughter echoed through the deserted forest path, making it feel like it was just Faye and me in the world.

Sometimes, it’s good to have such moments with others too.

Maybe I wasn’t the only one thinking that. This time, Faye whispered to me, rubbing her face against my neck.

“It’s nice. …Do you feel the same, Junior?”

“Of course.”

“Hehehe. That’s a bit surprising. I thought you’d be less moved by this since you’re used to it.”

“……”

Her arms tightly wrapped around my neck as if not to let go. A small sigh of relief.

Oh dear.

I lightly patted her butt, which I was holding, and spoke.

“Do you know something, Senior Faye?”

“What?”

“I probably like you much more than you think, Senior Faye.”

“…Heup!”

“Seriously, how can you suddenly feel insecure after enjoying so much last night?”

When I drooped my shoulders as if feeling a bit hurt, Faye flailed around in panic.

“No, um… that’s…”

“Sniff, sniff… Was I the only one who was sincere?”

“That’s not it!”

Pretending to cry, Faye screamed into my ear, then, startled by her own loud voice, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Then she mumbled something softly for a while.

“It’s not that… Junior… you know…”

“What?”

I couldn’t hear properly, so I asked again, and Faye, as if making a resolution, bit her lower lip and spoke clearly in a voice mixed with shyness, joy, and relief.

“But… this is the first time you’ve directly told me that you like me, isn’t it?”

“Oh.”

That’s right? Now that I think about it, it was the first time I told Faye that I like her.

“…You know, Junior. Do you remember what I said a long time ago? The words I said during our first experience.”

“Umm… about having my child?”

“No, not that! The words I said just before that!”

“I’m joking. Of course, I remember. You asked me to like you.”

“Yes. And instead of answering, Junior…”

“You kissed me. Didn’t it get through properly?”

“Mm. That’s not it. But how should I say this? I wanted to hear it in words. It would make me feel a bit more assured. Ah! I don’t even know what I’m saying. Sorry, Junior… Did I seem like a bothersome woman?”

“Senior Faye has always been a bothersome woman.”

“You’re so mean…”

Suspicious, timid, couldn’t speak properly, gloomy, and stubborn.

Even to the point of considering suicide if I was a little late.

If I hadn’t tightened the leash through sponsorship, it would have taken a long time to get close to Faye.

“But I like that bothersome Senior Faye.”

The self-polished, shining Faye I saw at H&A.

As well as the Faye clinging to my back now, wanting confirmation of my affection.

“I really like you a lot.”

“……”

No way. After gathering all my courage to say it, all I got was silence.

Feeling a bit peevish, I was about to say something when I turned my head slightly.

“Ah. Uh. Waah. Don’t look at my face…”

Seeing Faye desperately trying to cover her bright red face, my heart melted.

“Alright. I won’t look at your face, so please give me your answer quickly.”

“…Answer?”

“Yes. I said I like you, so don’t you have anything to say to me, Senior Faye?”

“Ugh.”

After hesitating with her lips for a moment, Faye slowly opened her mouth.

“I… also. Yes. I like you a lot too, Junior. Probably more than you like me.”

“What?”

I didn’t expect that response.

As I was left speechless, laughing awkwardly, Faye poked my face and grumbled.

“Junior. To think I melted with just one ‘I like you’, now you see I’m a pretty convenient woman, right? That’s what you thought.”

“No. But I did think it’s a bit troublesome.”

“You’re too much!”

“But Senior Faye likes this about me, right? I can see that you’re enjoying being swayed by a younger junior.”

“Ugh…!”

Faye flinched as if I had hit the nail on the head. Laughing at her reaction, I checked the direction of the carriage in the distance.

Since the impression of night and day was different, I retraced the path I remembered thanks to my excellent memory trait.

Fortunately, it seemed I found it correctly.

“We’re almost there. Should we come up with a simple excuse scenario?”

“Huh? Isn’t it okay to just tell the truth? They might feel a bit envious or disappointed, but they won’t say much. Hiding it might hurt them more.”

“Oh, I’ll talk to the other girls separately… There are still more nun’s habits left.”

“Hick!”

Thinking about last night’s events, Faye’s lower body suddenly got wet.

To help her regain her composure, I lightly patted her butt, which I was supporting.

Slap!

“What if you get wet all of a sudden?”

“Ugh… Maybe because last night’s memory was too intense, the nun’s habit feels like a naughty outfit…”

“Still, calm down for now. We can do more later, can’t we?”

“Yes… Oh, so what was that story from a moment ago? Who are you making excuses to?”

“That would be Sister Helena. She always gets up early for morning prayers, so she must have noticed we were gone.”

“Ah? It’s a bit awkward to tell the truth, right? Saying that we had nun’s habit cosplay sex.”

“Right? No matter what, that’s a bit hard to say, isn’t it?”

After a bout of laughter, we spoke again.

“Rather than telling a complete lie, let’s just say we went for a night walk. If we vaguely explain, she will probably get the gist.”

“Yes. Let’s go with that.”

Anyway, since she already knew about my relationship with Faye, it should be fine.

We had a similar misunderstanding in the intensive care unit before.

Agreeing to vaguely explain, Faye and I reached the carriage.

First, I laid Faye, who still couldn’t stand properly, on the bed.

Then I comforted the other women who were pouting with jealousy, and fed today’s blood to Iona.

Finally, I was about to greet Helena after her morning prayer.

“Lord, Lord? Why? Why do you not respond…?”

Helena, standing in front of the sun-shaped symbol of the Church of Righteous Radiance, wore a bewildered expression.

The medallion in her hand was flickering as if someone far away was contemplating something.
