Chapter 28: Horney Is Weird...
Yesterday, we ventured into the labyrinth, granting me a day off today. Consequently, the destination I chose for today was none other than
Ding-
Hello! Im back after just a day!
Oh my? Seeing you so soon was unexpected. What brings you here today, Sir Jonah? Perhaps there was some sort of issue?
Have you finally realized it? That was my doing. (X)
Im glad to see you and concerned for your wellbeing. (O)
There was no issue. On the contrary, actually, only positive developments. Perhaps its all thanks to the necklace I received from Miss Eve?
Well, if thats the case, Im relieved. But remember, luck and misfortune are two sides of the same coin.
Ill definitely kill you next time. (X)
Im relieved. (O)
Its okay. I remember everything Miss Eve told me. By the way, are you open right now? Im concerned I might have arrived too early.
Lemon and Apple were asleep on the sofa, their limbs entangled. Seeing the two still deeply asleep, I asked her, and Eves smile deepened.
Yes, we are open. Its just that its the first time someone has arrived this early Im embarrassed you had to see this.
Youve witnessed something you shouldnt have. (X)
Truly embarrassed. (O)
Ah. Well, its true that I arrived early, so please dont be too hard on yourself.
Politely shaking my head, I looked for a place to sit. However, no matter how much I searched, there wasnt a single spot available in the small shop.
This was because the shop lacked space, leading Lemon and Apple to share the same sofa for their slumber.
Noticing this, Eve ceased her leisurely tidying of the shop and stood up.
Its about time. Would you mind waiting just a moment?
Watch carefully what Im about to do (X)
The sun has risen, so its time to wake the twin elves. (O)
Theres no need to trouble yourself, Miss Eve. How about I just do this?
Grinning, I sat down directly on top of Lemon and Apple.
Wh, whos there!
Izz an attack?
Having their stomachs squashed by my butt, Lemon and Apple woke up babbling nonsense. Their eyes were hazy, likely because their minds werent fully awake yet.
An attack? Thats a bit harsh. Where would you find an enemy as cute as me?
Gasp! Its something scarier than an enemy!
Why are you here?
Once our eyes met, their gazes sharpened, now fully awake. Lemon seemed genuinely terrified, while Apple cautiously inquired about my intentions.
For some reason, ever since Lemon peed lemonade, shes been overly cautious around me.
I gathered up Lemons long hair, disheveled in every direction. Then, as if wielding a duster, I lightly tapped the faces of the twin elves.
Pap pap.
Th, that tickles.
The smell of Lemons hair is unpleasant
Lemon and Apple struggled but were unable to push me away. I chuckled at their appearance and spoke.
I came here because I had something to do, but there were no seats, so I just sat down Did you mind?
Not at all! The feel of your buttocks was so vivid that it was actually nice!
Lemon. Its not good to speak too honestly.
Ahaha! Thats alright. Consider it the price for becoming my cushion.
Because of this, touching a non-maiden would cause them to vomit blood and die or become corrupted and turn into a bicorn. The same happened when touched by non-virgins, leading to a rapid decline in their population. And now, they were completely extinct.
Of course, it wasnt that there werent any unicorn horns collected and stored in the past but they were traded at a very high price, making them difficult to obtain.
So, its really been a long time since Ive seen a unicorns horn. Especially one that shines like this.
So surprising (X)
Wow! A virgin! (O)
I just thought it shone when touched by a virgin or a maiden, but it seems theres also a difference in brightness.
Surprisingly, unicorns can distinguish between maidens and virgins even after death. Therefore, even if its a horn that has already been detached, if its handled by non-maidens and non-virgins multiple times during transportation, the light becomes increasingly dull, and the power within the horn weakens. Its not that Im young, but this is the first time Ive seen such a horn.
What a precious material (X)
Wow! A virgin! (O)
Wowthats really a unique taste. Those unicorns.
I nodded and then looked down. I asked Lemon and Apple, who were looking at me and the horn with an irritated expression and snickering.
Are you two maidens?
N, no Im not! I may be young for an elf, but still, throughout the years Ive lived
Lemon is a virgin.
Apple?! Why would you expose me like that!
And I am a virgin as well.
Lemon vehemently shook her head in denial, while Apple calmly stated the truth.
It seems Apples claims were correct. After all, it must be because they had immense anticipation for their first experience that they completely fell for Gales trap.
What did they say? That he said hed go wash up so they should ready themselves, so they really waited inside the labyrinth completely naked but were captured by the other raiders?
Even after being tricked by a bloodsucker or maybe bloodpumper would be more accurate. Anyway, even after being tricked by a man, the two were staring at me with passionate gazes.
Smiling at their steadfast attitude, I proceeded to place the unicorn horn on each of them.
There and there.
Each time it touched Lemon and Apple, the horns light grew stronger.
Lemon seemed to want to die out of shame, and Apple just sighed deeply. To them, I announced with a dead serious expression.
I believe it. You are indeed virgins.
Kyaaaak! No, no Im not! I am an experienced adult woman!
Lemon Youre just embarrassing yourself. You must humbly accept reality.
Laughing at the two making a fuss, I then extended the horn towards Eve.
How about you, Miss Eve?
Hehe. What do you think?
Daring to dig into my past, mortal? (X)
I dont want to be exposed as a virgin at this age (O)
Finally, the brain translator returned to normal. Watching Eve stealthily move back, I swiftly extended the horn towards her.
Tap.
The moment the unicorns horn touched the back of Eves hand, the entire store was enveloped in a bright light.
Whoosh-!!
The amount of light was so immense that it could have made one go blind. Eves face, having just proven her thousand-year virginity, flushed red.
It was a rather rare sight given Eves normal relaxed demeanor.
I smiled broadly at Eve, who stood completely stunned.
Wow! A maiden!
.
It was petty revenge.
