Chapter 95

### After the Bath

It was a night after the bath.

After enjoying a comfortable bath together, we walked down the hallway toward the bedroom.

The cool air from the air conditioner felt refreshing against our heated bodies.

Lilith was already floating in the air with her wings spread.

I held her slender waist and moved her along.

With each step, the twin mounds wrapped in the bathrobe swayed abundantly.

Lilith, with her still slightly damp silver hair hanging down her cheeks, had a contented smile on her face.

She was probably in a state where she couldn't walk on her own.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling a bit overheated?"

"Yes... It was such a heavenly feeling..."

Lilith let out a sultry sigh from her red lips.

I chuckled and said,

"The elixir bath can be dangerous. Let's keep it moderate."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Master..."

Though she said that, her cheeks, tinged with a rosy hue, remained relaxed.

Once we entered the bedroom, we headed for the bed.

I noticed a red flower arrangement on the side table.

"What's with this flower?"

"It's a bouquet someone brought as a thank you for saving a child, as we discussed during dinner."

"Oh, that's what it is."

"Since Master wasn't here, I accepted it on your behalf. Was that alright?"

"It's fine. But it's heartwarming to hear that someone was actually saved."

"Yes, it's wonderful that Puchi Eri exists in this world. Master, you're amazing!"

Lilith floated in the air and hugged me.

As I laid her down on the bed and lay beside her, I gently pulled her close and kissed her delicate lips.

"Mm... Master..."

"Lilith, your skin after the bath is beautiful."

"Ah... Master, you're so naughty."

I began to undress her, caressing the curves of her body.

She grabbed the sheets with her hands behind her back and let out moans.

Her white and black wings stretched out...

—Wait? Black?

Upon closer inspection, I noticed black spots gradually spreading on her wings.

I widened my eyes in shock and stared at them.

"Lilith, are you feeling okay?"

"It feels really good..."

"I mean, are you feeling dizzy, feverish, or tired?"

"My head feels... fuzzy, fuzzy."

She answered in a coquettish voice, deftly removing my bathrobe with her slender fingers.

—She doesn't realize this, does she?

"No, Lilith. The black spots on your wings are spreading rapidly."

"Huh...? What...—What!?"

Lilith, whose violet eyes were half-lidded and glazed over, looked at her wings upon hearing my words.

Her eyes widened in shock.

I asked,

"Do you know what this means?"

"I don't know... Why!? Is it a sin?—No, it might be a curse!"

"A curse!?"

"How can we...?"

As I watched, her wings turned about one-third black.

Lilith's face contorted as if she was about to cry, and she clung to me, her silver hair shaking.

"Please, Master, give me holy energy, Master!"

"Leave it to me!!"

I held Lilith's slender waist and pulled her close.

I kissed her, caressed her, and loved her until the end.

"Let's go, Lilith!"

"Faster—Master—Ah!"

Lilith arched her back and let out a particularly high-pitched cry, accepting me with her whole body.

As I watched her wings, the whiteness returned to about half.

However, the black spots were spreading rapidly.

Lilith, tears welling in her eyes, watched her wings turn black.

"No... It's too late..."

"I won't allow that. I'll save you! More, and faster—wait, let me think."

If more holy energy is needed, I can increase the concentration in one go!

I took a deep breath, focused, and compressed the holy energy.

400 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters!

—I can do this much.

But to overcome the curse, I need to compress it even more intensely!

In front of me, the naked Lilith sat on the bed, looking sad and wilted.

Her silver hair spread out on the white sheets.

The delicate curves from her back to her buttocks, and her firm, full breasts, swayed weakly.

—A beauty beyond this world.

I can't let her be tainted by a curse.

More, more!

To save Lilith, I'll exceed my limits!

I clenched my teeth and compressed the energy further.

50 meters, 25 meters, 12 meters!

At 12 meters, my body began to emit a faint phosphorescence.

The high concentration of holy energy illuminated the room in a bluish-white light.

Lilith, who had been slumped on the bed, suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with tears.

"Master!? What kind of holy energy is this!?"

"Lilith! I'll definitely save you! We made a promise to be together forever, Lilith!"

I forcefully pulled the bewildered Lilith into my arms.

Even just touching her, a bluish-white thread of holy energy connected us.

Lilith shuddered at my touch, her large breasts bouncing.

"No, this is too much—! It's too concentrated, Master, Master!"

"I love you, Lilith—!"

"Master—!"

We kissed, passionately embracing each other, our hearts as one.

The intense holy energy from my body made her silver hair fly up.

Her slender neck was exquisitely beautiful.

The super-concentrated holy energy, compressed to the extreme, welled up inside me.

I held her delicate body close, pressing against her.

I shouted in her delicate ear.

"Let's go!"

"Ah—! Master—! Ah—!"

She screamed, her silver hair flying wildly.

Her black and white wings spread out—.

Snap!

In the next moment, the room was filled with light.

A blinding bluish-white light.

Lilith, who I was holding, trembled and went limp in my arms.

I lay down on the bed, breathing heavily, still holding her.

As the light faded and my vision cleared, I immediately checked her wings.

They were completely white, whiter than ever before.

Lilith, her large breasts heaving, opened her eyes slightly.

She looked back at her wings with a dazed gaze.

"Ah... The curse, it's gone..."

"That's great, Lilith!"

I gently hugged her and stroked her wings.

The soft feathers felt wonderful under my fingertips.

—It's really good to have protected the most important thing in the world...

Lilith, with a relieved smile, rested her cheek on my chest.

Her breath and silver hair tickled my skin.

I stroked her head, and she closed her eyes in contentment.

"That's amazing, Master... To be able to dispel a curse like that..."

"But it happened suddenly. Do you know what caused it?"

"I don't know. I was just living my usual life..."

Lilith tilted her head slightly in my arms.

At that moment, a dry sound echoed in the bedroom.

Looking over, I saw the red flower arrangement had withered and turned black, shattering.

"What... that flower..."

"Impossible!"

Lilith, leaning against my chest, squinted to look at it.

She gasped in shock.

"Master! The flower! That red flower is the catalyst for the curse!"

"What!?"

"But it was a thank you gift..."

"If the recipient lives for as many days as there are red flowers, they will die of illness!"

"That's a pretty nasty ability."

"Yes, most people wouldn't notice... How terrifying."

I hugged Lilith tightly. She gasped for breath in my arms.

"I won't forgive anyone who tries to harm my wife... If it's a curse, it must be from a follower of an evil deity?"

"I think so—"

"I'll crush them. I'll definitely crush them."

"My chest is being crushed...!"

I quickly released her, and her large breasts jiggled.

I leaned in close to Lilith, who was lying on her side.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at me.

"Lilith—I'll definitely protect you."

"Yes, Master—Nn... What!?"

As I kissed her, our tongues entwined, and Lilith blushed in surprise.

I caressed her smooth curves, and she began to explore my body in return.

But I started to compress the holy energy again.

I couldn't compress it as much as before, only to 25 meters.

Still, Lilith writhed in my arms.

"That's not good, Master—!"

"I'm worried about just once. You might not notice if your wings are hidden. Plus, you need to learn the technique of compressing holy energy through your body."

"But, Master—Ah—!"

Lilith, bathed in the holy energy, let out moans, her silver hair flying wildly.

She writhed her delicate body sensually.

In the end, I gave her such a concentrated dose of holy energy that she fainted.

From now on, we'll practice compression every night.

—But for now.

I stroked Lilith's back, which was lying prone and limp, and thought.

Whether it's an underground organization or a drug dealer, it's not something to be tolerated.

I need to prepare first.

I stroked Lilith's back one last time, put on my clothes and armor, and took my sword.

Then I left the bedroom and headed to the dungeon.
