"Hoo—"

Steam rose from Protagonist's entire Body as Protagonist walked out of the Bathroom. Protagonist hadn't expected Moli Sha to prepare Hot Water without a moment's rest while Protagonist was eating.

Speaking of which, it seems the Dark Continent doesn't have the Custom of not Bathing after a full Meal.

The evening in the Desert had already begun to blow a cool Wind. The Temperature of this Hot Water Bath was just right, making Protagonist feel more refreshed than a sauna.

However, passing by the Kitchen made Protagonist's Heart sink. Moli Sha was sitting on a Small Chair, without even a table. She was slowly eating the leftover Meal while reading a Book by the Magic Lamp. The dim yellow Light shone on her fair and beautiful Face, her focused Expression sweeping away her usual indifference, making her look exceptionally gentle. Her Bright and moving yellow Eyes seemed so focused that she didn't even Discover Protagonist passing by the door.

Protagonist sighed softly, shook Protagonist's Head, and quietly left. How could a method that satisfies both parties be thought of so easily? It couldn't be helped; the Little Ghost held more weight In Protagonist's Heart. Protagonist could only make the Three-No Princess feel Aggrieved for now.

Returning to the Room, Protagonist Discovered that there was also an unknown glowing object focused on reading a Book, so engrossed that she didn't even notice Protagonist's Footsteps. However, this 'mysterious' Ghost who called herself "Saintess with piercing Eyes" was much more comfortable. Using a Pillow, her entire Body was sprawled out without any regard for her Image on the soft Bed. A pair of flawless Jade Feet were propped high up, swinging back and forth leisurely In Mid-air.

Covering Protagonist's itching Nose where a Nosebleed was threatening to erupt, Protagonist leaned closer, wanting to see what this Little One was so engrossed in reading.

Speaking of which, where did she get the Book? Protagonist doesn't remember putting a Book there for her. Thinking of a possibility, Protagonist's Expression couldn't help but change drastically. Could this Little Ghost, who made Protagonist grit Protagonist's Teeth, have truly been a 'Saint Thief' in her previous Life? She could even Discover the Book Protagonist had deliberately hidden under the Bed just now!?

"Where are you at?"

Protagonist sat beside the Little Ghost and asked, trying to sound like a Narrator.

"Ah—uh—enjoying the elegant time of afternoon Tea, the noble Butterfly Countess summoned her loyal Knight into her bedroom and said: My Knight, serve me in the way you desire, let me enjoy the Pleasure of floating like an immortal..." The Little Ghost was focused with full attention, Subconsciously reading along with Protagonist's words.

"..."

"..."

"Wah!!" Her Characteristic short gasp rang out.

"Is it interesting?"

Protagonist was Looking At the Little Ghost, who looked as panicked and flustered as if she'd been caught playing an H-game by her Parents. Her Jade Feet, which had been swinging back and forth, froze In Mid-air. Her Body, sprawled on the Bed, stiffened. Her Neck mechanically twisted to look at Protagonist, the dumbfounded Expression on her Face fully revealing the Astonishment and panic in her Inner Heart at this moment.

"Waaah~~~~~~~!!"

After a long pause, the Little Ghost suddenly Came to her Senses. She shrieked and threw the Book In her Hand with all her might towards Protagonist's Face. OMG. Protagonist's precious Book!!

Protagonist quickly reached out and caught it. Nice catch! Protagonist breathed a sigh of relief—Books in the Sanctuary weren't as durable as those in the Original World; you could even use a dictionary to smash people there.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah!!! You, you, you, you... When did you come in? H-h-how... how could you not even knock?" The Little Ghost shrieked and scrambled, rolling into the Corner of the Bed. Her trembling finger pointed straight at Protagonist as she stammered her question.

This is Protagonist's Room, isn't it? Protagonist glared at her in confusion, then flipped through the Book In Protagonist's Hand for a while. Thankfully, it was fine.

Seeing Protagonist Looking At the Book she had thrown, the Little Ghost, feeling guilty, immediately thought Protagonist was Mocking her indirectly. Her Pretty Face instantly turned crimson.

"D-d-d-don't... don't Misunderstand, how could I possibly read such vulgar plots about the Butterfly Countess bringing a Knight into her Room? I have absolutely no Interest, not even a shred of Curiosity..." She vigorously shook her Head and waved her Hands.

Huh? The Little Ghost with her Tsundere Attributes fully activated?

"R-right... right, that's it!!"

As if she had thought of something. She suddenly became Proud, crossing her Arms over her chest, kneeling upright and looking down at Protagonist.

"Ahem, ahem, well, aren't there often such Records—a wise King, in order to better govern his Country, would condescend to visit the Homes of Civilians to eat and experience their hardships, joys, and sorrows. As a Saintess, bearing the great responsibility of saving Mortals, I should also occasionally get closer to the lives of Civilians, observe what they usually do, what kind of Books they read, and so on. Only then can I understand their thoughts. Yes, yes, that's right, that's how it is. As for the content inside, I have absolutely no Interest whatsoever."

She raised her chin with Pride, probably feeling Proud of her quick wit.

Heh heh, that's quite a grand reason, isn't it? If not for the contradictory sentence before, someone might actually be fooled by her clumsy Appearance.

Protagonist grinned slyly, threw the Book aside, and pressed Protagonist's Body towards the Corner where the Little Ghost was. The Distance between Protagonist's Faces was less than an inch, and her disordered, rapid, sweet Breath immediately filled Protagonist's Nose.

"So, Your Highness the Saintess, who empathizes with the common people, where exactly did you read up to?" Protagonist greedily inhaled the Faint Fragrance so close at hand, Protagonist's left Hand caressing the Little Ghost's Face, which was smoother than high-quality silk.

Perhaps influenced by the Book, for a moment, the Little Ghost's Gaze became hazy, a layer of misty Emotional Arousal surfacing in her silver Eyes. "Such beautiful Eyes," Protagonist couldn't help but exclaim.

Why did God create such captivating Eyes? Protagonist was completely mesmerized by the Little Ghost's silver Eyes, like Gems—Perfect and flawless, without a trace of impurity, shimmering with the brilliant colors of a galaxy, vast and Deep, as if containing the boundless Universe itself. Looking at them for too long, even one's Soul would willingly be held in Imprisonment within them.

The Little Ghost quickly Came to her Senses. She shook her Head vigorously, shaking off Protagonist's caress on her Face. Her small Body tried hard to shrink further into the Corner, looking at Protagonist timidly and warily.

"Th-th... This is personal privacy! Wh-why should I tell you? Don't even think about getting anything out of my tightly sealed Mouth... Hmm??"

Unable to bear the overflowing Love In Protagonist's Heart any longer, before she finished speaking, Protagonist Overbearingly way blocked her slightly moist Lips. Beautiful, small, soft, Warm... too much to describe with words. Why could Girls be so cute?

"Mmmph... huff..."

Protagonist doesn't know how long passed, but Protagonist reluctantly released the soft Lilac tongue Protagonist had captured In her Mouth. Protagonist looked at the nearly suffocated Little Ghost, feeling both annoyed and amused. This Little One, should Protagonist say she doesn't understand Technique, or is she too immersed in it? Every time during a deep kiss, she even forgets to use her Nose to Breath, preventing Protagonist from kissing Protagonist's fill every time.

But then again, why would a Ghost need to Breath? What in the world is God doing?

"How about it? Did the noble Butterfly Countess have her Knight serve her like this?" Leaning in and lightly holding the Little Ghost's earlobe, which had turned red from Emotional Arousal, Protagonist whispered softly into her ear.

"I... I didn't read up to here." The Little Ghost no longer had her previous stubbornness. Her small Body was almost completely limp in Protagonist's embrace, murmuring softly and weakly.

"Is that so?"

Licking her earlobe, Protagonist's Lips slowly slid down to the tips of her Hair, which emitted a faint Faint Fragrance, and her fair, beautiful Neck. Her Face was soft and sweet like cake, her small, delicate Nose, her long, trembling eyelashes, her sparkling and moving silver Eyes—every part was so captivating, making one linger indefinitely.

Finally, Protagonist lingered on her Cherry Lips, greedily sipping for a long time before stopping Protagonist's seemingly endless taking. Protagonist raised Protagonist's Head and Looked At the panting Little Ghost, who seemed to have lost even the Effort to Breath.

"W-what... what do you want to do?" Feeling the invading Aura/Presence, she murmured Tenderly, Shyness escaping Protagonist's burning Gaze.

"Don't you want to know what happens next? There's no need to read that Thing, I'll teach you personally."

Protagonist embraced the Little Ghost and, amidst her gasp, pushed her down. Protagonist's Body lay back on the Bed. In this position, her flawless, beautiful curves, usually hidden beneath her loose robe, were revealed.

"I... I have no Interest in any of that... and I... I don't want to know." The Little Ghost, in her full Tsundere Attributes Status, was tight-lipped and refused to Surrender in the slightest.

Protagonist focused on her curvaceous figure. A symphony of increasingly seductive moans leaked from the Little Ghost's cherry petal-like Lips.

"N-no... don't, I... I'm not ready yet, how can you..."

Unbeknownst to Protagonist, the Little Ghost's only White Robe had slipped off. Her Body, emitting a faint white Radiance, Perfect and Holy like warm Jade, was so beautiful it was almost impossible to open one's Eyes. She seemed to have realized something, and Tenderly and weakly used her Small Hand to cover her Vital Point, looking at Protagonist timidly.

"N-no... you can't, I... I haven't Per... Permitted it yet. If you... if you act recklessly... that's... that's r*ping a Saintess, that's... that's a Great Sin..." She looked at Protagonist with Eyes on the verge of Tears, unaware that her current Appearance was even more of a Stimulus to a Man's desire.

"Is that so? Then tell me, if that's the case, what crime would that be?"

"Mmm... Aah...!! Th-th-that way, I... I'll be sent to the In... Inquisition, Imprisonment for a... a lifetime..." Whether from fear or pleasure, the Little Ghost let out a series of prolonged moans.

"Is that so? Then what can be done? Since you're going to be locked up for a lifetime anyway, why not enjoy it properly?" Protagonist raised Protagonist's Head and Pityingly wiped away the crystal Teardrops that had seeped from the Corners of her Eyes due to Nervousness and Unease.

"H-how could this happen? Villain, you're a big Villain!"

Unexpectedly, her words had the opposite Effect, an Accident. The Little Ghost felt extremely Aggrieved. She grabbed Protagonist's Hand and, like a mischievous Kitten, pouted and put it In her Mouth with an "awoo" sound. Just that alone gave Protagonist an uncontrollable Impulse.

"Ailisi, you are mine. You are my Woman for this entire Life." Protagonist gently caressed her Jade-like Face, hardened Protagonist's Heart, and finally completely took possession of this Little Ghost whom Protagonist both loved and hated.

"Woo woo~~"

The Little Ghost, gently holding Protagonist's Palm In her Mouth, let out a sorrowful Wail of pain. Tears continuously seeped from the Corners of her Eyes. A sudden, huge Force came from the Back of Protagonist's Hand that she was biting.

"I-Idiot... it hurts so much, woo woo~~"

After a while, the Little Ghost finally adapted. She quickly let go of Protagonist's Hand. On the wet center of Protagonist's finger, covered in fragrant saliva, a row of clearly visible Tooth marks was revealed. She gently stroked the Tooth marks on it, and Protagonist couldn't tell if she was saying she was hurting or if she Felt sorry for Protagonist.

"So..."

Protagonist was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the Little Ghost made an astonishing Action. She suddenly stretched out her Arms, and her small Body instead pulled Protagonist into her embrace.

"R*ping a Saintess is a Death Penalty..." she murmured, holding Protagonist's Neck tightly. Her Voice was Tender yet firm.

"So... from now on... your Life. Everything about you belongs to me, everything about me...

So... I Order you, never to leave me for your entire Life, never to abandon me, always love me, never leave me even half a step, don't let me feel lonely..." She raised her Head. Tears had already soaked her Cheek. The Sorrow hidden Deep within her Eyes, which had never faded, finally erupted at this moment.

"So..., we have to stay together forever. Don't leave me alone again like Father and Mother did, woo woo~~" Biting her Lip tightly, she looked at Protagonist with a determined Gaze, speaking word by word.

"That might be difficult. You know. Ghosts have endless Lifespans." Protagonist gently stroked her Hair, pulling her into Protagonist's embrace, afraid that she would disappear if Protagonist let go.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you don't abandon me, no, even if you abandon me, I'll always cling to your side. No matter where you go, I'll follow behind you..." The Little Ghost puffed out her cheeks, glaring at Protagonist indignantly.

"Ah, ah, it seems there's no Method to escape your Demonic Clutches in this Life. Protagonist is truly pitiful." Protagonist sighed, shaking Protagonist's Head.

"Hehe—Now you know how formidable This Saintess is, right?" The Little Ghost beamed with joy. Her Appearance, crying and laughing at the same time, looked just like a Little Calico Cat.

"Hmph hmph, since that's the case, Protagonist should at least collect some Interest first." Protagonist chuckled evilly a few times and suddenly moved.
