Chapter 29: Loser (End)
-‘Haa… Haa… Huh…’
Long, endless moaning sound came through the door.
Starchis’ stamina seemed to have no end.
Vienna couldn't help but wonder if the woman on the other side would be okay.
With that thought, she abruptly stood up from her still position and realized she couldn't bear to listen any longer.
She roughly wiped away her tears, turned, and ran down to the first floor, the sound of her steps echoing through the inn.
– Thump thump thump
The inn lady awoke at the noise of Vienna's running and asked, "Oops, why are you running, lady?" However, upon seeing Vienna's distraught expression, the inn lady covered her mouth and stopped speaking.
Without a word, Vienna stormed out of the inn, her mood having gone from the happiest and most thrilled it had been in recent days to the worst.
-Thump Thump Thump
Vienna left deep footprints along the path she trod and her tears trailed behind her as she ran. She couldn't bring herself to believe the situation. Lately, she always wished and prayed that it was all just a dream, but she had never felt such a strong desire for it to be a dream as she did now.
“Huh… Heh heh… Uh heh…”
Even though her teeth were clenched, the sound of crying flowed out.
The more she cried, the faster she ran to make sure no one could see her face.
The saintess’ modesty was nowhere to be found. Although she had already thrown it away following Starchis’ advice.
‘Sex? Already?’
Vienna thought as she ran.
It had only been 2 weeks since they started dating, and they had already reached this stage...
No, they might have reached it sooner, she must have only now found out.
At such thought, Vienna's tightly clenched teeth began grinding. Her heart felt so stuffy that she wanted to tear it apart.
‘That lewd whore…! My Starchis…’
Vienna had known Starchis for a long time.
Among the countless people who pretended to be close to her, he was the only one who affirmed her true appearance even after he saw her throw a Saintess' modesty and kindness from her heart.
He was an understandable person. He was the one who changed her.
But, it seemed that now he had gone far away.
‘Starchis, you are the most precious to me. But I'm the least precious to you.’
She hated this discrepancy.
Starchis always treated her so highly that she thought he also felt something. He always treated her carefully, like glass, so she thought she was that important to him. And somewhere deep in her heart, she thought that he also liked her.
But, no!!
He treated her carefully and with respect because Starchis was just a good person, and in fact, his sincerity was elsewhere.
'So, he didn’t have a heart for me or anything, but it was just his natural personality,' Vienna concluded.
‘But if he’s been this good to me as a friend, how nice he would be to his lover?’
"Ugh!"
As Vienna ran, she grabbed her chest tightly; It hurt so much.
She was jealous. She regretted it so much.
What if she didn't push him like a crazy bitch?
What if she was a little more honest?
Her heart was screaming in pain after a long run, but she didn’t stop.
She thought that it would even be better if it exploded since she wouldn't have to endure this heart-wrenching pain anymore.
As soon as Church came into her view, she covered her face with her arms and ran quickly inside.
Several other saints tried to talk to her, but she ignored them all.
-‘Vienna, your clothes look pretty… Huh? Vienna?’
-‘Vienna, where did you go…?’
-‘Vienna, where were you during the night prayer earlier?’
-‘What is it, are you crying?’
She ran. She didn’t think about removing her makeup, she didn’t think about changing her clothes either. She just ran.
Accommodation rooms quickly passed through here and there.
Several saints were already preparing to sleep.
She ran to the corner bed. Then, she pulled the blanket over her and curled into a ball: It was a posture she always took when she was young and when she was afraid of thunder or ghosts. Now, like instinct, that posture came out again.
It seemed the room went quiet at her sudden appearance. But ignoring that, Vienna continued to shed tears.
“Huh… Heh heh…”
As the room was quiet, only her cries could be heard throughout it.
Having been in that state for a while-
-Turbuck. Turbuck. Turbuck.
She heard someone's approaching footsteps.
The person quietly sat down on Vienna’s bed and putting their hand on the blanket, they patted it.
“Vienna, I don’t know what happened, but you can cry.”
It was Casey.
And at her words, Vienna instantly started crying like when she was a child.

-'Haa… Haa… Uh-'
The mana ran out and simultaneously the sound was cut off.
A feeling of exhaustion came over Lily's body.
Lily, however, did not stop her hand.
“Haa..! Ah..! Starches…!”
Starchis must still be feeling the pleasure even if she couldn’t hear the sound.
So, she didn’t stop. She couldn’t lose to Elza.
“Ahhh!!”
Soon she climaxed. She finally couldn’t hold her body any longer and in a flop, her skyward hips fell to the bed.
“... Starchis..”
What was his appearance like?
How would it feel to rub each other’s bodies wet with sweat?
How good his stuff felt compared to her thin fingers.
What was his scent like?
How warm did Elza feel from Starchis?
Lily was too cold now.
With her clothes on, she hurriedly masturbated, so her whole body was wet.
Her wet clothes kept taking away her body heat.
For some reason, it reminded her of that cold cave she was in with Starchis.
The cave where they stayed to hide from Tigerwolf.
It was so warm when she went into his arms on the excuse of being cold and hugged him. But now, no one was around.
A great self-loathing soon followed.
“Ahhh…”
Was this self-loathing for losing him? Or perhaps, it was for what she did.
She tore her hair again.
Though Lily learned something new about herself today.
It was the fact that she tore her hair under extreme stress.
But it was information that Lily didn’t want to know.
Her thought process was broken because of the cold again. The damp clothes kept her body cold.
She lifted her finger to cast a spell-
“Ah.”
-But she realized.
She had no mana from eavesdropping.
'Should I just be like this?'
Shaking her head, Lily stood up.
'No, I can’t catch a cold.'
They had to challenge a B-class mission after a few days. No matter how much she hated the current situation, Starchis was still Starchis. Lily hadn’t changed her mind to make his dreams come true.
And Class B missions were dangerous. If she caught a cold here and couldn’t use her strength properly, and if Starchis was hurt because of it, it was clear that she would hate herself for the rest of her life.
And...
There was even a slight fear of being abandoned if Starchis was disappointed because she couldn’t follow the command to take good care of herself.
Eventually, Lily squeezed her strength to get her body up and trudged to the bathroom.

-Schop schop schop.
Luss had been comforting herself for a while now. She did it repeatedly for a long time until her pussy became red.
She couldn’t stop because she felt immoral to do this on Starchis' bed, or perhaps because Starchis' scent made her sexual desire explode.
“Ha…Chis…Ha…!”
Luss felt the orgasm was near. But, she stopped right before reaching the climax.
Because she couldn’t squirt love juice on his bed.
“Haha…”
Her body quickly cooled down.
She fidgeted with impatient hands.
It was regretful and resentful that she couldn’t go all the way; Starchis was having fun with Elza, and they both will go to the end unconditionally.
But she stopped, afraid that her action would be discovered.
Perhaps because she was surrounded by Starchis' scent and was looking at the ceiling she always wanted to see, she felt Starchis was right in front of her.
She felt like she was going crazy.
Jealousy began to devour her heart again. But as soon as negative thoughts appeared, she just focused on the scent.
If she focused only on the scent, she might deceive herself into thinking that she was in Starchis' arms.
Since imagining Elza and Starchis together made her feel like dying, she had long since abandoned the idea and now it was Luss who was being loved by Starchis in her imagination.
‘Luss, you are mine.’
Luss' hand instinctively reached towards her cunt, but before she could rub it, she suddenly came to reality:
There was no Starchis with her, and it wasn't him who said those sweet words.
In reality, she was like a thief who entered Starchis’ room without his knowledge and masturbated.
Luss felt hollow.
It felt like a hole had been punched in the corner of her heart.
Opening her eyes, she looked out of the window.
It was already late night.
Starchis still hadn’t come home.
Luss would rather have Starchis come back, even if she had to be caught.
She wanted something to go wrong and Starchis to come back without having sex.
But that didn’t happen.
It was almost certain that he was holding a woman now.
Luss clenched her fists. Her hands felt sore from repeating one motion for a long time.
Swallowing the tears that seemed to be coming back again, she got out of the blanket.
Now she just wanted to go home and rest.
Luss felt cold outside the blanket. Her body trembled.
She lifted her loose leg and picking up her clothes, she put them back on.
But it was still cold even after wearing them back.
“Haah.”
-Stumble.
As she let out a sigh, her legs loosened.
She supported herself by holding the table next to her.
Luss wanted to quit and go home, but there was still work to be done.
She lifted the blanket and ventilated the air under them a few times.
Luss wasn’t particularly sweaty, so the bed wasn’t damp either.
It seemed she wouldn't be caught.
She picked up the sword she had put away before and left the room carefully.
-Thud
Even after she made sure to pick everything before leaving, she felt she had lost something important today.
