Chapter 742: A Proper Summer Vacation! (End)
I don't particularly enjoy NTR. Honestly, I dislike both being stolen from and being the one who steals.
The only exception is when the other person is an idiot with NTR fetishes. People with the bizarre hobby of offering their precious partners to others deserve divine punishment. And if heaven forgives them, I believe they should be made to regret it, even if I have to become a blonde delinquent myself.
So what's the most effective way to make them regret it and punish them?
The method I came up with to mess with these perverts who love feeling powerless, enjoy being despised, and even take pleasure in the tension of their hearts being squeezed—it was near-perfect isolation.
To be clear, not perfect isolation, but near-perfect isolation.
I rented two separate rooms a bit away from our lodging, made a tiny hole in the wall using my finger.
In one room, I put myself, Sirius, and Railan.
In the other room, I casually left Sirius's necklace.
Finally, I set up a barrier that makes it difficult for spirits to pass through, and it was complete...
Let me explain a bit—I was in a position of receiving help this time, and I originally didn't plan to go this far.
But sadly, perhaps because he's already dead, he couldn't control his eyes properly.
It was just for a moment, but I clearly felt his lecherous gaze directed at Railan.
If he had calculated how to make me angry enough to torment him more severely, I'd be impressed enough to applaud his genius.
Well, whatever.
Honestly, I understand because he's a man. People can fail to control their eyes sometimes.
It's not like I said I'd kill him, right?
I can forgive him if he just pays the price.

The man trapped in the necklace anxiously pressed himself against the wall as much as possible.
Relying on the small hole, he peered into the opposite room.
Normally, in his spirit form, walls wouldn't be an issue, but his benefactor had taken some measures that prevented him from crossing the wall.
If he could, he would have rubbed his eye directly against the hole to see more clearly.
But unable to do so, he felt frustrated.
What would happen to his wife today?
When his wife, who was always dignified and strong around him, showed a feminine side only when she was with that man—
It gave him both heartache and a perverse pleasure.
He heard rustling sounds.
Were they changing clothes?
If they were at a swimming pool but taking off swimsuits, he might be a bit disappointed...?
No sooner had he thought this than two women appeared through the narrow hole.
"I... I can't believe you're really making me wear this..."
"Hmm, honestly I thought you wouldn't be embarrassed by much, but this is a bit embarrassing."
However, what the two were wearing were still swimsuits, though with designs quite different from before.
Well, whether they could be called swimsuits or if they even fulfilled the function of swimsuits was questionable.
Because of the narrow hole, he couldn't be certain, but one appeared to be a micro bikini and the other a slingshot...
If only he could see a little better.
Just as he thought this, his wife—no, ex-wife as he'd been told to call her—approached, and he could see her swimsuit clearly.
The extremely revealing slingshot couldn't properly cover his wife's voluptuous body.
Why was she coming this way?
Was she going to give him a service?
Such foolish delusions crumbled with her words.
"I-I'm sorry..."
Huh?
Something opaque covered the small hole, and he heard the sound of tape being peeled.
Behind what seemed like a curtain, he could only see blurry silhouettes.
This way, he could only guess roughly what they were doing.
"From today, direct viewing is forbidden. I was told you'd prefer it this way..."
Though already dead, he felt his heart racing.
"I-if you don't like it, you can say so. I'll try to convince him to let you watch directly."
Did she know?
Before, she would have offered to stop altogether, not to convince someone to let him watch.
He couldn't see what expression she was making.
But strangely, her expectant breathing was cruelly audible.
"N-no. It's fine."
When he came to his senses, that's how he had answered.
My benefactor is truly a genius.
We can become good friends...!
*
Wait, why is this bastard enjoying it again...?
You're not supposed to enjoy it! This was meant to make you suffer...!
For a moment I considered finally sending him to nirvana, but decided to hold back for now.
More important than that were the two women in front of me.
Railan and Sirius.
Having changed into quite provocative swimsuits, both were quite embarrassed.
Especially Sirius—her destructive power was so tremendous that it was questionable whether she could be described as wearing anything at all.
"You both look beautiful."
They were beautiful nonetheless.
Looking at them leisurely, I thought they made quite a contrast.
One had a perfectly balanced figure with a sculptural beauty.
The other had firm abs and, thanks to her devastating chest, gave an impression of violent, unrefined, raw beauty.
Well, despite their stark differences, they did have some things in common.
"I-I went along with the mood, but doing it simultaneously is a bit..."
"...I feel a bit sorry, but after Railan's turn, when it's my turn, could you show just a little?"
First, they both overthink things too much.
"Eep!?"
"Huh...!?"
When I approached and grabbed their chests, they looked at me with surprised eyes but offered no resistance.
Second, they pretend to care while actually not caring once things get started.
Oh, thinking about it, they're quite similar?
Since they both carry heavy burdens, I should make them forget about trivial matters at times like this.
"What did you say? Can you repeat that?"
"W-well..."
"Nothing..."
Hmm, good girls.

When I looked outside to check how much time had passed.
Surprisingly, I saw a dark sky.
Well, we did do a lot, didn't we?
It's fortunate that my sanity returned midway; otherwise, we might have seen the sun rising instead.
As I was about to ask absentmindedly whether they preferred sports drinks or coffee.
I confirmed again that neither of them was in a state to move properly.
I didn't particularly want to check the condition of the next room either.
It had been noisy up to a point.
But it became quiet around the time I got tired and told Sirius to tell him she didn't know about her ex-husband and to please continue.
...Can spirits faint too?
After helping Sirius and Railan change back into proper swimsuits and cleaning them up.
I mentally prepared myself and headed to the next room.
Surprisingly, he hadn't fainted and was sitting in a neat formal position.
What? Why is he fine? I didn't block the sound, so he must have heard everything Sirius said?
Oh, maybe he thinks it was an act?
However, when our eyes met, I was forced to realize how greatly mistaken I was.
"Ah, you've come."
This bastard.
I really didn't think...
"Benefactor."
He even enjoys this...?
Suddenly I could recall my future self cursing this guy in the forbidden knowledge I received.
Perhaps.
"Is there truly not even a fragment of me left in my wife's heart...? Heh, hehehe..."
This guy might be the second most difficult madman for me to handle after Lamia—such a terrible thought crossed my mind.
Involuntarily, I took a step back.
"Why are you running away, Benefactor? Please answer me..."
No, damn it, Sirius hasn't completely forgotten you—it's just that I've become more important to her than you.
Besides, what would you do if she had completely forgotten you...?
This guy's mind is completely messed up, with nothing but depression and pleasure.
I couldn't even imagine what he was trying to do.
I couldn't answer carelessly.
Before retreating from the primordial fear emanating from this incomprehensible being—
"Really, stop saying such foolish things."
Sirius suddenly appeared behind me, having regained her senses.
"Y-you?"
And Sirius's ex-husband, who had transformed into something incomprehensible, returned to being an ordinary soul whose thoughts I could read.
"Have you completely forgotten that you were the one who asked for this again?"
"W-well, yes. But in the middle, you clearly said you didn't know someone like me, that you'd forgotten everything, and asked him to continue..."
"T-that's because I understood your tastes by now, and I thought you'd like it better that way."
Surprisingly, that statement wasn't completely false.
Sirius probably wouldn't have said it if she had been certain he would truly hate it.
I had persuaded her that way too.
However, it wasn't exactly the complete truth either—it was somewhere in the gray area.
In Sirius's mind, there was never any thought that her husband would dislike it.
Perhaps thinking I would be jealous if she talked with her ex-husband, Sirius turned to look at me with a slightly awkward smile.
'...Don't look at me like that. What I said earlier wasn't a lie.'
Not even knowing I could read her thoughts, she was apologizing internally.
'Even if he's a fool like this, I haven't completely lost my feelings for him yet...'
But Sirius had a very strange misunderstanding.
'After all, he seems excited by the situation of taking someone away too. He'll want to maintain this situation.'
I had no idea what she thought of me—she believed I enjoyed taking other people's lovers.
No, I'm not that kind of person.
I just got carried away, that's all...?
But just as I was about to deny it, Railan woke up, and so my "blonde Chad" suspicions remained unresolved.
*
I thought it was a bit late for dinner.
Surprisingly, when we returned to our lodging, everyone had either just arrived.
Or some hadn't arrived yet, so everyone was still before dinner.
Among the Greek gods, except for Gaia who was with Ban Gi-san, none had returned.
Seeing that the Triple Chihuahuas hadn't returned either, they must be having quite an in-depth conversation.
As I was wondering if I should go look for them since it was getting too late.
Suddenly the sky outside brightened, and lightning struck from a clear sky without a drop of rain.
I wondered what was happening, but the lightning continued to strike repeatedly without stopping.
Everyone was startled, but some of us, including myself, noticed that the lightning had divine properties.
We could roughly guess what Zeus was doing.
"...It looks like it's going to take a while. Shall we eat first?"
Well, he can handle himself. Let's eat.
That's what I thought until everyone happily finished dinner.
8 hours later.
Despite it being summer, there was no sign of the sun rising.
I finally realized that what was bound to happen had come.
