༺ The Sun, the Moon, and the Sword (6) ༻
Ding—
I held Hippolyte’s wrist, feeling her pulse, and as always, a familiar string of characters came to mind. But the information contained in those characters was slightly different from before, it had a bit more meaning.
[Stats] Name: Hippolyte Heavensinger
Level: 44 → 3
Strength: 15 → 1
Agility: 15 → 1
Endurance: 14 → 1
Quirks: Financial Misfortune 》Tsundere 》Unlucky Love Life
Condition: Blood Curse 》Moonlight Enervation 》Sensitive Skin 》Panic Attack
Now, all the question marks that filled Hippolyte’s status level were revealed before my eyes.
Level 44.
It was a level way far beyond what I could even actively imagine. How could her basic stats be close to 15? Was I really the same as her, a demigod?
Looking at this, she seemed like the real deal to me.
I was coincidentally able to level up with my strange ability.
But to surpass level 40 like Hippolyte, how many patients did I even have to heal, and how many totems did I have to destroy and convert?
Luna would probably sprain her wrist first before I could reach that level.
Hippolyte must have put in a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot to level up to this point. And now, that very same Hippolyte was kneeling naked in front of me.
I didn’t know whether I should be sad or excited about this fact.
Of course, my cock hardened without hesitation, but my mind was filled with many different thoughts.
Financial Misfortune? Tsundere? Unlucky Love Life?
These were all new types of quirks that I had never seen before. And among the words written in ‘Conditions’, one of them especially caught my attention.
All in all, there seemed to be one additional condition other than the previous ‘???’ that was present in her Conditions stat.
The newly added words were ’Sensitive Skin’ and ’Panic Attack’. One of them was probably the question mark that was present before and the other one was the addition this time around.
Would make more sense to think sensitive skin was already there, and ‘Panic Attack’ was a new condition.
Hippolyte, who was shocked in various ways by the situation, must be having a panic attack and babbling incoherently right now.
“A S-Samaritan’s hand…”
As I felt her pulse for a while and looked at the words before me, Hippolyte softly muttered and rubbed her face against the palm of my hand.
It felt ticklish, like a pet animal rubbing its fur against its owner’s hand.
“Just for today… I’ll keep it a secret from everyone… as my own secret…”
To ask for such a favor, it was only right for me as a human to listen to her, right? And she promised not to talk about it herself.
Wouldn’t it be a happy ending for everyone if we managed to do well without getting discovered?
If I were to refuse after she had put everything on the line like this…
Oh, holy shh… If Hippolyte, who was having a panic attack did something wild, I don’t think that I’ll be able to handle it. Maybe she would just use some other kind of memory erasure magic and slit my throat right here and now.
“Alright, Hippolyte.”
“Well, i-is it really… okay?”
“… Only for tonight.”
“… R-Really? Okay.”
“But, this place doesn’t seem suitable…”
I looked around.
It wouldn’t be right to do it on this narrow first floor, I wasn’t that reckless. And what if Luna woke up from all the noise we would surely make and witnessed our affair?
I couldn’t handle that either.
That was why I laid the blanket I was sleeping on over Hippolyte’s body.
“… Let’s go outside. As quietly as possible.”
* * * * * * * * * *
With Hippolyte wrapped in the blanket, we walked through the moonlit back alley. Even though there were no streetlights or utility poles in this world, the streets were quite bright even in the dead of the night.
The reason for the brightness was the two moons that were fully lit tonight. People in this world called it a double full moon or something.
And because of the superstition that strange things happened on nights like this, full moons were rumored to be an ominous omen.
On nights like this, the streets were quiet, with very few people walking around.
And come to think of it, the day I met the witch Nemea and the day I got drunk with Luna, both were nights with two full moons.
Those damn full moons seemed to possess some kind of strange magic in them.
“W-Where are you taking me…?”
Hippolyte, whose body was only covered with a blanket, asked nervously. It was strange to see Hippolyte being scared like this. But it was true. This fierce, sword-like woman could also feel fear.
Well, it was natural for a woman to feel uneasy if she was walking alone in a dangerous alley almost naked, following behind a strange man.
I spoke to reassure her, as she seemed particularly anxious at the moment.
“I’m just looking for a suitable place.”
There were many old inns around this slum area. But, come to think of it, if Hippolyte and I were to enter one of these inns together in this attire, it could lead to irreversible rumors spreading throughout the city.
Inns were totally out of the question.
That left us with the narrow alleys and secluded places scattered here and there.
Even so, it seemed a bit risky for Hippolyte, considering how important this moment was for her, to engage in such activities outdoors.
Outdoors…
It was quite an exciting thought, but it was probably not appropriate.
So, I turned my gaze to the dilapidated huts scattered in the surroundings of Luna’s hut. The place where Luna’s hut was located was a street lined with empty warehouses.
It seemed that they used to be warehouses for some kind of merchandise, but they were now abandoned and neglected.
That was why Luna had bought one of the empty warehouses, turned it into a workshop for her elixirs, and even made Moai totems.
Anyway, what was important was that there were many empty warehouses in the vicinity of her cabin.
So, I approached one of the few secluded warehouses in the vicinity. I got close to it, and without hesitation, peered inside through the cracks between the wooden planks.
Swoooo—
Inside, an abandoned hut was clearly visible, with cold air emanating without any signs of use or wear.
Creak—
However, to prevent vagabonds from entering and causing trouble, there was a fairly sturdy lock hanging on the door of the hut, unlike its shabby appearance.
What should we do?
This warehouse seemed like the best option for us, it was also located in a secluded place.
Just as I was feeling perplexed as to what to do.
“Hmm, let me try.”
Hippolyte pushed me to the side and held the lock in her hands.
And then, with a forceful “Hup,” the strong sound of metal hitting the ground resounded with a loud clang.
What the hell, what did she just do?
As I looked at her with astonishment, Hippolyte lowered her head as if she was embarrassed about something.
“… It’s easy with the use of Aura. You don’t have to exert much force.”
“I see, as expected of you.”
I didn’t exactly know what Aura was, but it must be something like magic. It was fucking amazing, that’s what it was.
Anyway, we were able to break the warehouse’s door and enter inside. Inside, there were scattered straws, dried grains, and even torn sacks.
Was this a granary of some kind?
There were a few spider webs, but fortunately, I didn’t see any spiders, rats, or insects. As I looked around, I found a short candle that was almost burned out and lit it.
Whoosh—
The small flame illuminated this cramped wooden hut. Now that I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a simple hut. There was also a millstone-like thing, indicating that it was used as a grain mill.
A place to thresh grains and make rice cakes, perhaps?
A mill…
For some reason, I felt an incredible sense of lust, and it felt like my breath was being taken away at the moment.
I wasn’t consciously trying to think about it, but wasn’t I here to have sex with a woman? To fuck. In other words, to have sex.
Especially with someone like Hippolyte, a healthy and voluptuous beauty. Honestly, my cock had been erect for a long time already, and my lower abdomen had become so sore that it was hurting quite a bit. I just wanted to quickly pull it out and free it from its constraints.
“Is, is this where we’re going to do it…?”
What happened to the attitude you had earlier? Hippolyte, who followed behind me since we left Luna’s cabin, seemed strangely calm for some reason.
Perhaps it was because she had cried so much that her eyes were moist and her face had become flushed, but the look she was making now made her even more beautiful in my eyes than usual.
Oh god, a semi-naked woman positioned under dim lighting. Was there anything more beautiful than that?
An abandoned and shabby place…
A Gold-tier female adventurer, sought after by nobles for marriage proposals…
It felt as though two completely incompatible things had come together, transforming the world around me into something entirely different from the norm.
To think that I could do with this woman as I pleased for this whole night. Honestly, if there were no consequences, it would be something to brag about to the entire world. Of course, even if I were to talk about it, no one would believe me.
Anyway, fueled by desire and excitement, I stripped off the blanket that surrounded Hippolyte’s bare body. Then I spread it neatly on the floor and laid Hippolyte on top.
“Hmm….”
Hippolyte’s body, already heated by our various indecent activities, felt perfect to embrace in this cool cabin.
I slowly moved my fingers, bringing them between Hippolyte’s thighs. Then I distinctly felt the slippery fluid dripping down from her snatch.
“Heeeng… this sensation, it feels strange….”
Hippolyte’s pussy was already wet and couldn’t get any wetter.
But her body was tense and rigid with anticipation and filled with all kinds of emotions that she herself probably couldn’t comprehend.
It felt like we had done enough foreplay by now. Still, she would probably feel a lot of pain once we got into the act, so maybe doing some more wouldn’t be a bad idea?
Thinking back now, when Luna had her first experience, I rushed things too much and she seemed to have suffered a lot of pain as a result.
So I thought it would be better to take it slowly, step by step, with a little more time, and finish it before Luna woke up at dawn.
Swoop—
Like Hippolyte, who was now naked, I also took off my clothes. And like a blanket covering Hippolyte’s body lying on the deerskin, I slowly enveloped her body.
Her body twitched slightly when mine touched hers, but she placed her palm on my back without resisting my advances.
“H-How do I do this…?”
“… I’m not sure either. But we’ll figure it out eventually.”
“Samarian, you also seem to have little experience…”
“Well, it’s… something like that.”
“Huh, I-I see. So that’s how it is.”
Hippolyte seemed strangely pleased with the fact that I lacked experience. They say women liked experienced men but maybe it was different for each person?
Just like Hippolyte’s many misconceptions about men, it seemed that I, Hassan, also had some misconceptions about women that needed to be corrected.
The first thing I did was to gently embrace Hippolyte’s large breasts. She trembled when I lightly flicked her slightly sunken nipples with my fingers.
“Ang… Ugh…”
Unlike last time when she tried to suppress her voice, this time she didn’t turn away from the pleasure she was receiving and made sounds as if she wanted to face it head-on.
Of course, for someone engaged in lovemaking, it was a very pleasant thing. Since you would be able to know where and how to touch your partner to make them feel good. Since we were doing this, it was better if both of us felt good from this experience.
So, in addition to caressing and touching her soft breasts, I shamelessly caressed and touched her slender arms, tightly squeezed waist, and well-toned back.
Her sweaty skin, moistened by excitement, slid easily under my hands, making an incredibly obscene display and sounds.
“Aaaah, aah… huuh…. haaa…”
Furthermore, she had always responded easily to any touch or caress I gave her. Could it be because of her sensitive skin that was mentioned earlier in her conditions?
Come to think of it, unlike a man’s erogenous zones that were concentrated in select areas, I remembered hearing that an aroused woman’s entire body seemingly became sensitive, almost akin to erogenous zones.
Swoosh— Swoosh—
“Huuuuh, huaaah, aah, w-why are you touching me like that? Huuuh, i-if this is a joke… stop it… ah, ah!”
I continued to caress her well-toned abdomen and firm thighs. But no matter where I touched, the response was the same, so I couldn’t really figure it out.
“… Does it feel better if I touch you like this?”
“Heung, ang, haaah, i-it tickles. Huuh, haaah, m-my whole body feels tingly…”
I enjoyed touching Luna’s soft and gentle body, but there was also a certain pleasure in touching a well-trained body like hers.
A healthy woman full of vigor and vitality.
Such a woman instinctively fascinated men. A healthy woman would undoubtedly give birth to a healthy child and become a healthy mother. She could even have many children if she wanted.
If she wanted, she could choose a husband as she pleased.
And here she was, lying beneath me without a hint of resistance.
I started to feel a sense of fear as if I were committing a great sin right now.
Was I perhaps dreaming?
As I continued to caress Hippolyte’s belly, she must have felt something strange. Hippolyte asked me about it.
“Um, is… a well-trained body not attractive to men? Because… my body can’t be described as feminine…”
Her voice lacked any sense of confidence as if she had some insecurities about her appearance.
But I didn’t really see it that way. I thought it was a good sight to behold and a pleasure to touch.
“No, it looks nice. It feels nice to the touch.”
“I-I see.”
“Well, in that case, let me taste it too.”
“What, what do you mean by that, what’s the meaning of it—- haaaaaah!”
My tongue went from Hippolyte’s collarbone, between her breasts, down her smooth abdomen, and eventually reached her dripping wet pussy.
Lick— Lick— Slurp—
Hippolyte’s pussy was already so wet that my tongue became even more moist than it was inside my mouth.
But somehow, the thought of penetrating those labia, bypassing the thick hymen, felt sacrilegious.
“Ah, heung, aaaah…! Where are you licking? Th-That, that place…”
“…Pussy. Try saying it.”
“Using such vulgar words… I’m a member of the Maiden’s Order…”
“If you don’t say it, I’ll bite.”
“What, what will you bite— aaaah!”
Hippolyte let out a loud scream. It was because I gently bit her clit, which was small and tucked away between her outer folds.
“Huaaah, haaang, uuuuugh!”
She was trembling slightly, seemingly on the verge of an orgasm.
“Now, say it quickly.”
“Huuuuh, huuuuuu…”
Hippolyte’s breathing grew labored. As I looked at her, I suddenly felt a sense of mischief or perhaps curiosity rising within me.
It felt like a dark ink was spreading in my heart. My heart had become dark as night.
It may sound like something only someone in the second year of middle school would usually say, but I couldn’t find a better expression for the feeling in my heart. Of course, that wasn’t the important thing right now.
“Come on, speak up.”
“Samaritan, no, Ha, Hassan, I can feel a strange mana from you— I-It’s like those cultists…”
“Don’t beat around the bush. Quickly, say that you want this uncivilized savage’s thick cock to defile the virgin pussy of the Amazonian Queen— Hippolyte. Hurry!”
“Guuuh…”
There was something strangely satisfying about seeing the beauty in my arms in so much distress. It seemed I had a predisposition for tormenting others.
“Come on, hurry up.”
“Guuh, this is so, so embarrassing…”
“… If you don’t hurry, I’ll hit you like last time.”
Just like before, I lightly tapped between Hippolyte’s opened legs with the palm of my hand. Just that alone made Hippolyte’s legs squeeze tightly together as if in anticipation.
“Heuuuh, uuuuuh-! Aaaang!”
“Come on, hurry up.”
“E-Enough, I-I get it. I understand. Huuuh…”
