Jung Yu-shin poked the breasts peeking through the gaps in the wooden window.
Umjjil.
A delicate tremor traveled up his finger.
The reaction was amusing, so he repeated it a few more times.
Kkuuuk.
Kkuk.
As the black lace bra crumpled, Mion's dough-like breasts sank inward.
They were soft and warm, like a freshly melted lump of cheese.
'This is Mion's heart.'
His troubled mood settled down.
Why does touching a woman's breasts make one feel so at ease?
Perhaps every man carries a 'goo-goo ga-ga' baby inside his heart?
The question was fleeting as his mind went blank.
'What was I going to ask again?'
It probably doesn't matter.
At this very moment, I just want to go 'goo-goo ga-ga'.
He reached out and toyed with Mion's breasts, kneading them.
He pressed down firmly with his palm, and sometimes tickled them.
He even massaged them gently along the mammary glands.
Finally, he lifted the underside of her breasts and took a deep sniff.
The heavy breasts changed shape as they were pressed and stroked, but they remained beautiful.
As time passed, Mion's trembling grew more intense.
Mion hurriedly covered her mouth.
'S-Ska-nim! The way you're touching me is too lewd!'
She didn't know why, but Ska-nim's touch was persistent and mischievous.
Moreover, he had become unrecognizably skillful.
As the nipples, which had been sleeping quietly inside her underwear, recognized the touch of the person she liked and began to perk up...
Mion's embarrassment reached its peak.
"S-Ska-nim!"
Mion's urgent voice drifted from beyond the small window.
"Ah."
Only then did Jung Yu-shin snap back to his senses.
Having been toyed with for quite a while, a steaming heat and the sweet scent of milk wafted from Mion's breasts.
The outlines of her stiffly erect nipples were clearly visible through the lace bra.
'How erotic.'
"Priestess Mion-ssi."
"Yeeeees."
"How much do you think Sian likes me?"
"..."
After a brief, awkward silence, Mion's subdued voice leaked out from the wooden window.
"Ska-nim."
"Yes."
"Did you just mention another woman while you were fondling my breasts?"
Oops.
Now that he thought about it, he felt like total scum.
"I-I'm sorry."
"By any chance, have you held anyone else besides me and Karin-nim?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned into an interrogation room.
How did she find out about him having sex with Karin?
"Uh... well, you see."
Jung Yu-shin hesitated, his mind racing for a moment.
Mion's voice rose slightly.
"D-Don't tell me there are so many women that you have to think about it... Hic!"
Jung Yu-shin's expression hardened.
This is a crisis.
The way to overcome it.
Strike first.
Kwaaaaak.
He applied pressure to his hand and gently squeezed Mion's breasts.
"Mion."
"Ye... yesyes."
"I'm not that much of a piece of trash."
"I-I understand. Please let go of the pressure on your hand..."
"I slept with Vivian."
"..."
Mion, who had been silent for a while, spoke up.
"I-I knew it."
"I slept with Sian too."
"...Ska-nim."
"Yes."
"Ska-nim, are you perhaps a womanizer?"
"..."
Jung Yu-shin fell silent.
Maybe he was. Since he had slept with several women.
But thinking about it, it felt a bit unfair.
Excluding Sian, he had never directly seduced anyone.
'If anything, I'm the victim.'
Weren't they the women who had backed him into a corner using aphrodisiacs, sorcery, and hypnosis?
He had barely managed to turn the tables and give them a proper lesson.
The sense of injustice still remained in his heart.
Jung Yu-shin lightly pinched Mion's protruding nipple with his fingers.
"Eut!"
Mion's body trembled. After letting out hot breaths for a while, Mion finally managed to speak.
"S-Ska-nim?"
"Mion, I have never seduced anyone."
Except for Sian.
"..."
Mion did not answer.
He grabbed the sagging lace bra and pulled it to the side.
Pureung.
As her snow-white breasts, glistening with sweat, shone obscenely.
The pink areolas and stiffly erect nipples poked out, revealing their lewd appearance.
He caught the tip of Mion's nipple between his index finger and thumb and gently scratched it.
"Eunghit!"
Mion let out a cute moan.
"Karin used an aphrodisiac on me. And Mion, didn't you put me under hypnosis? And yet I'm a womanizer?"
"I-I'm so sorryyyyy."
Mion's voice, sounding as if it were drenched in moisture, trembled pitifully.
She was detestable, yet cute and lovely.
Jung Yu-shin stopped his hand.
He should stop teasing her.
He had to get back to the main point.
"Priestess Mion-ssi, it's not that I'm trying to do something with Sian. It's just..."
Jung Yu-shin went on to talk about Gibson.
From the evil deeds that bastard committed before joining the Hero's party to the slave trade business he had recently plotted.
"...That's why I'm asking. I was curious who Sian would choose between me and that Gibson bastard."
"W-Wait a moment! Then the woman you mentioned earlier was...?"
"Yes, it's Sian. I wanted to know how much she likes me..."
Mion's face turned bright red.
The subject was Sian's breasts, not hers.
'And here I was, vulgarly pushing my breasts forward without even knowing that.'
She wanted to die of embarrassment.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know that and I, my breasts...! I'll put them away immediately."
Mion tried to pull her breasts back from the window gap.
However.
Jung Yu-shin pressed down on her breasts with his palms, preventing them from escaping.
Flustered, Mion froze stiffly.
And then, a firm voice was heard.
"No. That won't do. Leave them be."
"Yes.... yeees."
"Mion, tell me. How much do you think Sian likes me?"
"..."
Mion was silent for a while.
Jung Yu-shin, having nothing better to do, toyed with Mion's bare breasts again.
The way she trembled every time he poked her plump, perky nipples was cute.
"So, Ska-nim, you're trying to judge her level of affection by whether or not Sian-nim lets you suckle her breasts?"
Despite everything, Mion's voice was calm. It was the sight of her trying to suppress her pleasure and grasp the situation.
She was so lovely that he instinctively wanted to tease her more, but he held back and answered.
"Yes."
"...I don't think Sian-nim would choose someone simply because she likes them more."
"Which means...?"
"Ska-nim, you must understand Sian-nim's situation, coming from the Empire. This place is like the heart of an enemy nation to her. Moreover, she carries a heavy mission. Even if she knew of Gibson's evil deeds, I don't think anything would change 'right now'."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Because there is no one to replace him as a guide. Even if there were, wouldn't it be hard to trust them? Of course, as time passes and she interacts with various people in the Labyrinth City and recruits talented individuals, she will naturally expel Gibson from the party."
"..."
Jung Yu-shin stroked his chin with one hand.
'I guess that's true, right?'
Mion's words were persuasive.
Suddenly, he remembered when he first entered the Labyrinth.
He had a hard time because of Kaal's party, who were incredibly stubborn.
He had wanted to abandon them several times because of their many flaws, but he endured and cooperated.
It was the right choice. Because they joined forces, they were able to survive even in the most dire situations.
Perhaps.
For Sian.
He felt that this city might be an extension of the Labyrinth.
"Ska-nim, are you definitely going to kill Gibson?"
At Mion's question, Jung Yu-shin nodded.
"Yes. That guy has to die. To be honest, I don't know if I'll be able to kill him, though."
Even if he lived his life distracted by booze and gambling, his combat ability was the most outstanding among the guides he had seen so far.
In the end, the problem boils down to one thing again.
The fact that he couldn't know Sian's true heart.
"Ska-nim."
"Yes."
"Directly clashing hearts is also a good way."
"..."
"Since a person's heart is a labyrinth, it's meaningless to make various predictions from the outside. Why don't you take some time to have a sincere conversation with Sian-nim?"
Jung Yu-shin smiled.
The most Mion-like solution. He felt much more at ease.
"I understand."
Jung Yu-shin gently stroked Mion's breasts and then kissed them.
Jjok.
"Hit♥"
"Thank you, Mion. I feel much better now. Then, I'll see you later!"
Jung Yu-shin quickly said his goodbyes, jumped up from his seat, and walked out of the confessional.
"Y-You're just going to leave like this?! Haaaaa."
In the empty confessional, only Mion's feverish voice echoed quietly.
* * *
Jung Yu-shin left the temple and returned to the Inn.
His head was clear because he had kneaded Mion's soft, plump breasts to his heart's content while pouring out his inner thoughts.
'I might be a happy person.'
In the dark Labyrinth City.
Mion's sacred breasts were a ray of light.
Just as he was about to close his eyes while sitting on the counter chair after tidying up the Inn.
The door opened and someone came to visit.
It was Snubnose, Aldein's subordinate and a wild boar beastman.
"Ska-nim!"
"Snubnose?"
"I heard that you killed an Executive of the Bysis Clan this time!"
"Really? Who did you hear that from?"
"Aldein-nim told me. As expected, you're amazing!"
Jung Yu-shin waved his hand with a tired expression.
"It was no big deal. Anyway, what brings you here?"
"Ah! Aldein-nim is calling for you."
"Understood."
Jung Yu-shin headed to the monster butchery with Snubnose.
Aldein was sitting and resting among the monster carcasses, as if he had just finished butchering.
"Whew. Ska, you're here? I saw the fight. Was it that Johannes guy? It couldn't have been easy, good job."
"Were you there?"
"I saw it while passing by. Here, take this."
Aldein handed over two pieces of parchment sealed with wax from his pocket.
"What is this?"
"The profiles of the Priest and Mage from the Hero's party."
Jung Yu-shin broke the seal and spread out the parchment to read.
Priest Luther Bernstein.
Belongs to the Central Inquisition.
Senior Inquisitor.
Fundamentalist.
Publicly claims that Hero Sian, who received the divinity of Lux Aeterna, has a higher status than the Emperor of the Empire.
Jung Yu-shin frowned and opened the next parchment.
Sebastian Terbain.
Third son of the high-ranking Noble Terbain Family of the Empire.
One of the disciples of the Imperial Magic Tower Master.
Possesses outstanding talent, but caused several major conflicts within the Magic Tower due to his arrogant personality.
Some conflicts caused irreversible and profound damage to the Imperial Magic Tower.
Under suspicion of murdering another disciple of the Magic Tower Master.
"What the fuck."
Cha-aaa-ak!!!
Jung Yu-shin spat out a curse and tore the parchment to shreds.
They had sent people who were talented, but deserved to die.
Sian was the only normal person.
Jung Yu-shin rubbed his forehead and let out a sigh.
The Crown Prince's intentions finally became clear.
"It really was Scrap Disposal."
Killing two birds with one stone.
No.
It's killing three birds with one stone.
Getting rid of Sian, a potential political rival who received more blessings than the Emperor.
Disposing of the Empire's dissidents and troublemakers, while simultaneously showing off to the Eastern Alliance.
If these guys were killed carelessly.
He would use the deaths of the Hero's party members to gain a justification.
He would have something to denounce the Eastern Alliance for, claiming they were so lawless that they ignored the Empire's goodwill.
It felt as if he could hear the Crown Prince's whisper from afar.
'Will you kill Gibson or not?'
A poisoned apple.
A building with its main pillar missing.
A party that would collapse even if left alone.
The Crown Prince had put him in this party to use him as a catalyst for chaos.
"This Crown Prince bastard, his skill at handing over the dishwashing is artful. I guess not just anyone becomes a Crown Prince."
Aldein chuckled at Jung Yu-shin's words.
"Ska, actually, you're not an easy guy either."
"Where else can you find a pure person like me?"
"..."
Aldein blinked and stared at Jung Yu-shin.
Ska, who had grasped the Crown Prince's dark intentions in an instant, was pure?
"Ska, don't suddenly talk nonsense. It makes my heart skip a beat. So, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, what am I going to do? Gibson will die one way or another."
Whether he dies as a cripple swept away by pleasure.
Or dies after being used by the bastards of the Eastern District underworld.
A similar death awaited him.
"I have to kill him before he commits any more dog-like acts."
"What about the rest of the party members?"
"I'll think about that when the time comes. Thanks for the information."
Jung Yu-shin left the butchery, returned to the Inn, and began preparing for the exploration.
He packed exploration supplies.
He purchased plenty of potions.
He sent Eru and Armin back.
The two were quite disappointed, but it was an unavoidable decision.
Since the bastards from the Eastern District were targeting him, the Inn could not be a safe place.
Instead, Snubnose decided to manage the Inn.
An evening one week later.
The day of the Labyrinth exploration had arrived.
