Chapter 185 71. The Final Opponent (1)

 

“Aaaahhhhh!”

 

Lumian, who had been kicked by Goddess Allia, screamed as he fell from the sky.

 

He was falling much faster than an ordinary object would. His appearance was like a meteor.

 

Of course, it wasn’t a threatening speed for Lumian, and even that began to gradually slow down as he approached the ground. Thanks to this, Lumian was able to escape his urgent state of mind and look at himself relatively leisurely.

 

And he came to realize.

 

All the various desires he had been thinking about in his head until now. All kinds of wishes. Things too embarrassing to say out loud.

 

The fact that his girlfriend, Tania Eloise, had never agreed to such acts.

 

‘No, what should I do?’

 

Of course, she wouldn’t reject him. Though it might sound like bragging, Lumian knew well how much Tania loved him. The face she showed when looking at him, her smile, proved this.

 

He could cite more concrete evidence. The solid yet massive aura crouched in his dantian – this was her heart. The power gained through Tania’s love was far greater than the faith and wishes of countless continental people.

 

But even so, no matter how much they loved each other, there were lines that had to be maintained.

 

He couldn’t just suddenly say ‘Let’s have sex!’ and have their first experience.

 

‘…Though guys like Morghen, Seks, and Baku might have been like that from the start.’

 

Most people probably wouldn’t be like that.

 

In a good atmosphere, in a wonderful situation and place, whispering beautiful and sweet lovers’ words before doing the deed.

 

Yes, this would be right. Lumian wasn’t completely ignorant since he had read books and heard from friends.

 

“Haah…”

 

Of course, knowing something theoretically and being able to put it into actual action were completely different matters. Lumian began running various simulations with an extremely serious expression.

 

It was useless. No matter what he did, a natural situation wouldn’t develop. He felt frustrated and depressed at this unexpected final obstacle.

 

‘Damn, when Tania proposed to me! That was the best opportunity!’

 

It really was. That had been an unprecedented opportunity of a lifetime. In fact, Lumian had dreamed of that moment throughout his wandering in the Demon Realm under the curse of impotence. And he had shed tears every time he woke up.

 

If that damn Demon King had invaded the Human Realm just 30 minutes later!

 

Or if he had heard the news just a little, just a tiny bit later!

 

‘If that had happened, if only…’

 

“Huuu.”

 

Lumian, who had been agonizing, sighed once more. Then he looked down.

 

Despite his falling speed having decreased considerably, the ground was already right in front of him. The location was the Order of the Sovereign headquarters. It was unexpected. He had thought he would be at his family estate.

 

‘Could it be that she’s been waiting for me while continuing to train at the Order headquarters?’

 

Thinking this made his heart feel warm. But the burden on his mind also grew heavier.

 

He already felt burdened about bringing up such a topic, but thinking he had to do it in a temple, a sacred place, made the burden even worse.

 

‘Right. What’s the rush? Let’s not try to force it too much.’

 

‘What are you talking about! Lumian, think about your mindset when you were cursed. If you postpone it because the situation feels burdensome, you might have to wait for long years again!’

 

‘But what should I do? How can I naturally, without awkwardness, without being rude to Tania, transition to that kind of atmosphere?’

 

‘Think! Squeeze it out! Agonize fiercely as if there’s no tomorrow, Lumian!’

 

Countless thoughts swirled chaotically in his head.

 

But in the end, Lumian couldn’t find a clever solution by the time he landed on the ground of the Order headquarters. His complexion grew even darker.

 

“Oh! The Hero! The Hero is descending from the sky!”

 

“What? I’ve never received such an oracle!”

 

“Quickly report to the Pope! Sir Lumian Calard has visited the Order!”

 

‘Damn it.’

 

To make matters worse, troublesome people had discovered him and began gathering around.

 

It was actually natural. If someone made such a flashy entrance in broad daylight rather than at night, they would attract attention even if they weren’t a hero.

 

Lumian let out an awkward laugh while listening to the bustling voices of the priests.

 

He had no idea how to deal with them. Since he had no familiarity with them at all, they were actually more uncomfortable than the Patron Deity. He stood there blankly for a moment, unable to do this or that, as if his brain had stopped.

 

And then.

 

Breaking through the crowd of numerous priests who were far from welcome, one person appeared.

 

It was Tania Eloise. With the same fair skin and glossy black hair swaying as when he had last seen her a year and a half ago before leaving for the Demon Realm, she approached Lumian faster than anyone else.

 

“Lumian.”

 

“Senior!”

 

“Didn’t we agree you wouldn’t call me senior anymore?”

 

“Ah, that’s…”

 

As Lumian trailed off while thinking of an excuse, Tania spoke once more.

 

“Lumian.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Did you kill that bastard?”

 

“That bastard? Who…”

 

“You know, that guy. The one called Sekarosonji Sekirosonji. That piece of trash who cursed you.”

 

“Ah! Of course I dealt with him.”

 

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

 

“Not at all.”

 

“Wasn’t it difficult?”

 

“It was easy.”

 

“The curse? Is the curse lifted?”

 

“The curse is lifted too, completely.”

 

The Order people showed curious expressions at the rapid-fire questions and answers between the two.

 

Almost no one knew that Hero Lumian Calard had been afflicted with a curse of impotence. Because it was too pitiful to announce publicly, the Patron Deity had kept it secret from the world. The priests opened their ears wide and stared at the two with burdensome gazes.

 

However, neither Tania nor Lumian paid any attention to them. Especially in Lumian’s case, he was greatly flustered by Tania’s unfamiliar behavior.

 

‘What? Why is her way of speaking so aggressive?’

 

To be more precise, she seemed like someone impatient and urgent. Her speech was very fast and direct. The sweet and gentle taste he could usually feel was absent.

 

Of course, even amid all this, he could still strongly feel her worry and concern for him, but it was definitely different somehow.

 

Grab!

 

“Let’s go. There are too many people here.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Let’s go. To somewhere quiet.”

 

Even now was like that. The way she grabbed and pulled his hand without caring about their surroundings at all. Lumian wore a puzzled expression the entire time he was being dragged along without resistance.

 

Why was she acting like this?

 

Had there been some change of heart during the year and a half?

 

Or had something important happened that he needed to know about?

 

While he was having such thoughts, Tania’s room came into view. She flung open the door, entered with Lumian, then slammed it shut with a bang.

 

Click!

 

She carefully locked the door as well. Then she turned around and stared intently at Lumian.

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

Silence. Continuing silence.

 

A completely different atmosphere from before arose. With no one to disturb them, no incidents – a private space where they could focus entirely on each other was secured. However, Lumian, lacking in perception, still asked Tania with a flustered expression.

 

“Um, Sen… Tania? Is there something important you want to say…”

 

“…”

 

“Uh… or should I be the one talking? About what happened during this time, I’d like to hear… mmph!”

 

Lumian couldn’t finish his words. Because Tania suddenly approached and kissed him by surprise.

 

Not just lips touching lips, but an intimate act of sharing each other’s saliva. It continued for quite some time. Long enough that ordinary people who weren’t knights would become breathless. After finishing such an intense kiss, the two separated with a gasp.

 

Lumian spoke with a trembling voice.

 

“Tania? Um, excuse me?”

 

“I have a lot to say too. A lot I want to hear as well.”

 

Tania spoke. Still full of heat, she caressed Lumian’s cheek with her finger. Then after kissing him once more, she continued.

 

“But let’s do that later. For now…”

 

Without finishing her words, another barrage of kisses poured down.

 

This time it wasn’t just lips. Her clumsy yet lovely touch swept over every corner of Lumian’s body. Lumian, who finally realized the atmosphere, also moved hastily to match his lover’s rhythm.

 

That’s right. Lumian wasn’t the only one who desired his partner. Though it couldn’t compare to him who had lived lonely for decades, Tania had also been feeling similar emotions while waiting and waiting for her lover without knowing when he would return.

 

The end of twenty-one years old. And the end of twenty years old.

 

The two, who had grown so much since they first met, finally became one and entrusted themselves to the waves of each other. The tireless stamina of knights firmly supported their voyage.

 

A little pain, awkwardness, and fear. Such things quickly disappeared. In their love and affection for each other, and the pleasure that belatedly surged up, the two spent beautiful time together, and thus a full day and a bit more time passed.

 

Ryan Fromhart.

 

And Lumian Calard.

 

The most pitiful man in the world, who had never once done it in both his lifetimes combined.

 

This was the moment he finally escaped his virginity.

 

* * *

 

Breathing softly.

 

Lumian’s gaze as he looked at his lover, Tania Eloise, sleeping on the soft bed was incredibly sweet. The clichéd expression “sweet as honey” couldn’t have suited the moment better.

 

He kept his gaze fixed on her for quite a while, then gently stroked Tania’s hair once before lying down himself. And he closed his eyes to finally get some sleep.

 

“…Heh. Hehe.”

 

But he couldn’t. Sleep just wouldn’t come.

 

It was understandable. He had just had sex for the first time after more than 60 years.

 

It wasn’t something he’d done desperately while hanging off a cliff, with just anyone either.

 

His partner had been his precious, precious lover Tania Eloise, whom he loved endlessly and who loved him endlessly. Thinking that such a miraculous thing had happened to him, his excitement wouldn’t subside. His heart felt like it would burst.

 

‘Waking her up now to suggest doing it again… that would be too much, right?’

 

Lumian shook his head. That definitely seemed wrong.

 

Thanks to his superhuman stamina, he had tormented Tania all day with tremendous vigor just an hour ago. Acting like a child and whining again on top of that didn’t seem right.

 

‘But I can’t help that it feels so good!’

 

Lumian quietly raised his upper body and looked down at his lower half.

 

His member standing proudly once again.

 

It was so magnificent. So admirable.

 

Until now, it had been useless except for urinating, but now it was different. Now, touching what belonged to him as a proper man, he thought.

 

‘The things Sekus and Baku gave me were quite helpful.’

 

The mysterious incense that alleviated the unavoidable pain of the first experience, and the oil that helped relax tension.

 

Thanks to these items, the two were able to accept each other relatively easily and share pleasure more quickly.

 

The techniques the two demons had taught him, as well as the attitude toward treating a partner, were also greatly helpful. Lumian recalled their mischievous faces and mentally thanked them.

 

Then, frowning at a sudden surge of anxiety, he said.

 

“I know you’re watching everything!”

 

“…”

 

“Cut it out!”

 

“…”

 

No voice could be heard in response.

 

Actually, Lumian hadn’t said it because he sensed something.

 

But given Sekus’s personality, he felt that even without a familiar, he would persistently try to spy on him in unimaginable ways, so he had thrown out the threat just in case.

 

‘But there’s no reaction. Well, finding a way to fool my eyes wouldn’t be easy.’

 

It would be difficult, it must be difficult. Lumian nodded and thought. He was probably being overly sensitive.

 

But since he thought there was a possibility, he put on airs one last time and let his voice flow out. As if something terrible would happen if they didn’t come out immediately. As if he would go find them right away.

 

And right after that.

 

– Sorry.

 

“…”

 

– I was too curious.

 

Goddess Allia’s voice echoed in his head.
