37 - Chapter 34: 34[D-day 3-5 Saintess's Purification?]
Cynthia, seeing Yuria's body in the shower, was horrified and speechless.
"What on earth happened yesterday..."
Those marks were from yesterday's...
Looking at them only brought back unpleasant memories, so I tried to avert my gaze, but
Haa.
This stifling feeling still remains, refusing to disappear.
Why on earth
did my feelings for Yuria change?
I can't figure out the reason at all. That's why I feel like I'm going to go even crazier,
Just then, Cynthia's voice reached me.
"Aria, you take yours off too."
Right, we came in to wash up, didn't we?
And to wash, we have to take off our clothes.
Indeed, rather than staying like this, feeling sticky,
I think it's better to wash up cleanly.
"Ah, yes..."
My clothes were generally inconvenient to put on and take off by myself, so Cynthia helped me.
Just as I was about to say, 'You don't really need to take off my panties,' at that moment,
Ttutuk Tuk
Something broke at Cynthia's fingertips.
"Hit?"
At that moment, information, like a floodgate bursting, poured into my head, released from a seal.
Due to hastily tying a knot in the highest-difficulty magic that governs mind and memory while not in my right mind at dawn,
the memory of having woven a Magic Formula that sealed even the love and emotions I felt for Yuria in real-time flowed in.
As a result, a vortex of emotions that had accumulated for half a day was barely holding on in my pussy, threatening to burst at any moment,
and it was ultimately shattered to pieces by Cynthia's hand.
"Heueh?"
It flowed endlessly into my mind.
Emotions that had gathered and accumulated for half a day
rushed in, not just filling my empty heart, but threatening to burst it open.
"Hek Heuek?"
That's right, there's no way I could hate Yuria, is there?
Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria
My mind was solely filled with thoughts of him,
thinking only of Yuria,
seeing only Yuria,
loving only Yuria.
My feelings of affection are so, so immense,
I want to, right now, him, haaaah...
Just thinking about it,
my lower belly tingled,
and my pussy clenched with a kkyung-kkyung.
I want to squirt and cum right now, but
with the Stigma engraved, I can't even reach climax.
So, to soothe this inadequacy, I need him more,
I need Yuria more.
To quench this thirst,
I need Yuria more!
Ah, that's right, yesterday,
I was leaving my marks on Yuria's body.
"Hihik, y-yes, that's right, that's right, huhit."
I need to leave my marks, Yuria's strong scent, on Yuria again.
"Yuria, Yuria, where is he?"
"Aria? I'm here..."
Yuria appeared before my eyes!
A storm of joy raged in my head.
Unable to control such power, my body flew forward first.
Kwaang!
"Uh...?"
"Sseueup, haaah, it's Yuria, Yuria."
Yuria, even his flustered look is so lovely,
Yuria, so, so incredibly cute.
He wanted me to find him, didn't he?
Such a cute Yuria,
Yuria looking at me with innocent eyes.
I want to stain him with my marks right now.
All over his body, so everyone can see.
That's right, right now my mind is completely filled with only Yuria.
"Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria"
Suddenly, Yuria vanished as if carried away by the wind.
"Uh...?"
"Yuria's gone?"
"Yuria, where are you, Yuria?"
Yuria vanished instantly before my eyes?
How,
how could this happen!
I must find Yuria quickly.
Turning around, I saw Yuria in Cynthia's arms.
I almost lost my reason for a moment, but yes, I can endure this much.
I mustn't show ugly behavior in front of Yuria.
As I was thinking that, Yuria somehow broke free from Cynthia's embrace and started to run away.
Why?
Why are you moving away from me?
Surely, you're not running away from me?
No, it can't be. There's no way.
Yuria wouldn't run away from me, would he?
Right, he's probably telling me to follow him, isn't he?
As I moved my feet to follow Yuria,
Cynthia blocked my path.
"Cynthia, why, why are you...?"
"If you want to meet Yuria, you'll have to get past me."
I don't know why she's blocking me, but
that's not important.
The important fact was that she blocked the path to Yuria, only that fact mattered.
If she blocked the path, I just have to remove her.
Kwaang!
I slammed my fist towards her.
But as expected, she was the most agile among us,
and vanished, leaving only an afterimage.
But with this, my path to Yuria was open.
Anyway, I have no interest in Cynthia.
Just as I took a step to run forward again,
Shuuung Papapapak!
Arrows fell before my feet.
"This?"
"I told you, I won't let you pass just like that."
Kkadeuk.
Why on earth is she stopping me from going to Yuria?
There's a mountain of things for the two of us to do,
I don't have time to waste in a place like this.
Vines grew from the arrows, blocking my path.
"With just this?"
Eudeudeudeuk!
As I applied strong force, the vines began to tear away.
"Tsk, is she really the Saintess?"
"It's not good to blame others for your own shortcomings."
"Haa, yeah, I guess so."
Soon, I tore all the roots from the ground and ran towards Yuria again.
Papapapak!
Arrows again embedded themselves at my feet.
"You... are you going to keep interfering like this?"
"Yep, I am going to interfere."
Ppadeuk!
I want to grab that bow and send her flying right now, but
there's no way I can catch Cynthia.
I'll just have to eliminate them as quickly as possible and move on.
Eudeudeuk!
Eudeuk!
Tearing through the annoying vines that appeared before me,
Ujjeugeun!
Eudeuk!
Ujjeugeun!
Tearing through them...
Haa.
Seriously,
it's endless.
I can't make proper progress.
When she was an ally, she was so reliable,
but now that she's turned, I never knew she could be this annoying and irritating.
I need to somehow subdue Cynthia, who's just shooting arrows from over there,
Huu, it might be a bit much, but I have no choice.
Though my body is barely finishing its recovery,
I forcibly drew out Holy Power.
The most crude but certain method,
one that can't be blocked by a barrier,
and one that makes it impossible to even create a place to dodge,
is to unleash Holy Power.
Tearing through the persistent vines,
I gathered Holy Power from the depths and unleashed it.
Peo-eong!
"This crude... Kkeu-heuk!"
Cynthia was sent flying and slammed into something.
Now that the obstacle is gone, towards Yuria,
I threw my body towards the window.
"Yuria, Yuria, where are you?"
Looking around, I saw Yuria running away in the distance.
"Yu. Ri. A.?"
Why are you running away from me?
Why on earth did I see the shadow of fear in Yuria's eyes?
I can't believe it.
I need to catch Yuria and ask him seriously.
Huu.
I put strength into my legs and launched my body forward.
Cynthia, tirelessly interfering again, but
thanks to Yuria's strangely slow speed, I was able to catch up easily.
Yuria, Yuria, now you're mine, Yuria.
I thought that and reached out my hand, but
he vanished.
Vanished?
Again?
He vanished again?
Where, where did he go?
I reinterpreted the Magic Formula left before my eyes.
This is, huh?
The Church?
Why would he move there?
I don't know the reason, but
then that's good for me.
Because as the Saintess, I can also use teleportation to return to the Church.
And to shake off that persistent Cynthia too.
Immediately, I unleashed Holy Power and wove a Return Circle.
Cynthia shot arrows to stop it.
Huhu, how many times have I done this?
A method I used as casually as eating rice every day when returning home.
I vanished before the arrows could hit and stop me.
In the end, the arrows aimed at Aria merely cut through the air and embedded themselves in the floor.
"Huu, it's been a long time since I returned to my room."
Although I hadn't returned for quite a while, it was spotless, as if someone had been consistently maintaining it.
"I don't have time for this, do I? I must go find Yuria quickly."
I hastily rushed out of the room and ran towards the central Square where most people were.
"Everyone, have any of you seen Hero Yuria?"
"Ah, Saintess-nim."
"It's the Saintess-nim."
"Woaaah, it's the Saintess-nim."
"Hey, snap out of it, you're in front of the Saintess-nim."
Nuns and priests, all scrambling to show me deference.
Uselessly complicated, annoying, and time-consuming formalities.
They're really bothersome.
In a situation like this, where every second counts,
"Ah, yes, so, have you perhaps seen Yuria?"
"Ah, Saintess-nim, may I dare to speak?"
"Yes, of course. Have you seen him?"
"I saw Hero-nim heading towards the Main Cathedral."
"Thank you."
I simply offered a brief greeting and quickened my pace.
To shorten even a single second, I strained every muscle in my body.
The sound of wind brushed past my ears,
and my vision changed in an instant.
"Yuria, just wait a little. I'm coming."
Running frantically like that, I kicked open the Main Cathedral's door and dashed towards the central corridor, but where could Yuria have gone?
His escape location and
the Main Cathedral.
With just these two pieces of information, the answer is easily deducible.
He must have come to meet His Holiness the Pope.
The answer came quickly, and my actions were equally without hesitation.
"Ah, Saintess-nim, there's a guest inside..."
I don't have time to explain to them.
Because I'm truly at my limit now.
Yuria is just beyond this door.
"Kwaang!"
It seems I put more force into it than I intended.
I'm sorry to His Holiness the Pope, but...?
Before my eyes, Yuria, shining endlessly, appeared.
Aaaah, Aaaaaah, Aaaaaaaaaah.
My mind was completely filled with him.
"Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria Yuria"
"Found him?"
"Hiiik!"
"Yuria, Yuria, it's really Yuria, haaah."
But His Holiness the Pope started to look at my display of affection strangely and began to interfere.
He really has no sense of timing.
"Aria, I don't know how you came to be in such a state, but shouldn't you return to your original self?"
Nagging, nagging, nagging!!!
"Haa, it won't do."
After they talked about something, Yuria finally approached me.
Finally, finallyyyy!!!
But that moment of joyful happiness was fleeting.
Yuria's direction was a little strange.
He wasn't even looking at me. Why, why, why?
I tried to grab him and ask him right away, but
His Holiness the Pope suddenly intervened.
Even if he raised me like his own daughter, I won't forgive him if he interferes with my love.
I grabbed Pope Jude and threw him against the wall.
"Kwaang!"
No one,
no one can interfere with my love!
And I immediately ran frantically after Yuria.
Even amidst that, I pushed past Cynthia, who had somehow figured it out and was interfering until the very last moment,
"Yuria, Yuria!!"
Yuria was now within arm's reach.
But suddenly, chains appeared.
Chwarururureuk!
Brilliant Golden Chains bound my body.
Why on earth are they interfering like this?! Why, why, why, why!!
"But Your Holiness, the Purification Ritual..."
"There's no time, we must perform it immediately."
"Yes, understood."
