Chapter 304: Exorcism of Peta Sieri (6)

The arrow that pierced the head of the wooden dummy plunged into the dirt floor. Brushing off the swirling dust, a soldier picked up the arrow and brought it back to Eve. I nodded beside her and spoke.

“You're shooting well now.”

“Ah, but I'm still uneasy.”

Eve held the bow with an uneasy expression. Her archery practice was my hidden secret weapon.

“It doesn't matter. I'll deflect it anyway.”

I said as I patted her anxious shoulder. Eve still couldn't shake her unease, grimacing slightly as she spoke.

“What if someone from our territory actually dies because of this?”

“Trust me.”

If the Archdeity Church insisted on deploying the Holy Knight Order to drag Sieri away, I planned to use the domain folk as a shield. The holy knights were a force created to defeat demons, not to beat civilians with maces, so they would be stuck in a standoff and powerless to act.

Meanwhile, Eve would slip into the forest and shoot one of our domain folk during the standoff. The moment a resident was injured, I would condemn the Holy Knight Order, agitating the crowd once more by branding them as wicked bastards using violence against innocent folk to commit murder.

Eve agreed with the plan itself, but feeling uneasy about personally attacking the domain folk she had cared for so diligently until now, she fidgeted with the bow, hesitant to shoot again. She said to me:

“Husband. I know it's sudden and out of the blue, but... I'm really not so confident. What if an accident happens? It would be bad if I killed someone by mistake.”

I stroked her hair and consoled her. Eve, who had once been a homicidal maniac, had somehow reached the point of worrying about the death of the domain folk. Feeling a sense of satisfaction at her moral growth, I gave her a tight embrace.

The soldier, who had been watching our display of affection for quite some time, stood behind us with an awkward look on his face. Eve glared displeasedly at the soldier. Paying no heed, I held Eve in my embrace and asked the soldier:

“What is it?”

“A short missive has arrived, so I came to deliver it.”

Still holding Eve tight with one arm, I took the letter. Elsi, who had been doing physical training alone in the distance, trotted over after seeing Eve and me speaking with the soldier. She glanced back and forth between the letter in my hand and the soldier, then asked me:

“Cleric. What is this letter?”

“It's a letter sent in the name of the Archdeity Church.”

“What is it? What does it say? Open it quickly.”

Eve squeezed my waist repeatedly and urged me on. Swaying like an inflatable tube man under Eve's tugging, I tore open the letter.

[To the respected Former High Priest Peta Lucius.

I am Balon Nelson, General Overseeing Priest of the Archdeity Church. There appears to have been a profound misunderstanding in the process of reconciling the Archdeity Church's view with yours, and so we wish to have a time of harmony to reconcile this matter. We intend to visit Peta Territory in person to hear your thoughts, so please convey a date and time.]

“What does that mean?”

“It means we won. They contacted us to talk it out.”

“We won? Then... I don't have to shoot arrows at the domain folk?”

“Of course not.”

“Yay!”

In her excitement, Eve hurled the bow far away. Cellu, who was sitting at the edge of the swimming pool chatting with Soya, was struck on the head by the corner of the bow limb flying through the air and fell into the water with a splash.

“Heheuk!”

A flustered Soya covered her mouth and hastily pulled Cellu out of the water. For a moment, Cellu wondered if it made sense to be rescued when she was a mermaid in the water, but the surging pain made her completely forget such thoughts.

“Cellu, are you all right?”

“It hurts......!”

Cellu picked up the bow limb and shouted at Eve. Unfazed by Cellu's complaint, Eve chuckled and approached her, speaking up.

“Sorry, Mom. Want me to give you a kiss instead?”

“I don't need it! Heheuk, I-I said I don't need it.... What are you doing!”

Ignoring Cellu's whining, Eve hugged her and began planting noisy kisses all over her cheek.

“It's just because I'm in a good mood, okay? Come here, Mom.”

Elsi blinked and looked at me at the mention of winning.

“What does winning mean?”

“It means Sieri doesn't have to die.”

At my explanation, Elsi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. Breathing heavily from having just finished her workout, she was smiling shyly.

“Is that so? Thank goodness. The nun is a good person, so the people of that Arch... Church finally recognized it too.”

“It's the Archdeity Church. Repeat after me. Archdeity Church.”

“Archdeity Church.”

“That's right. Now, let's try again. What is the religion Sieri believes in?”

“It is the Archdeity Church.”

“Good girl.”

After patting Elsi on the head, I left Eve, who was still hugging Cellu tightly, and walked into the mansion. Today, Sieri was resting in her room. It seemed going to church was too burdensome because so many people cheered her on to stay strong. Fluttering the letter, I knocked on her room door.

“Come in.”

Sieri's voice came from inside. I opened the door, unfolded the letter before me, and spoke to Sieri.

“Sieri. What are you doing?”

“Yes? Ah, just some knitting...”

Looking beside the bed, there was a tangled skein of yarn. Massaging her hands, she said:

“Even when I trim my fingernails, they grow back so quickly that knitting is tough. Whenever they touch the yarn, it unravels immediately. Hahaha...”

Sieri smiled faintly as she said that. Between the horns and the wings, there seemed to be many inconveniences in her daily life. I thought about taking Sieri to Ati once this whole affair was settled to see if she could polymorph. Right now, though, it would be such a waste. There were still so many plays I hadn't tried yet. I still had to fuck a demon's ass, and I had to rub my cock between her wings too.

“So, what brings you here today?”

I spread the letter out before Sieri and said:

“Sieri. We won.”

“We won?”

Unlike her usual self, Sieri hastily took the letter from me and began reading it. The moment those fastidious Archdeity Church humans proposed a compromise plan, victory was already ours. Sieri looked back and forth between me and the letter with a bewildered face, then spoke with tears welling in her eyes:

“Thank goodness. Truly... thank goodness. You don't know how anxious I've been. I thought a catastrophe would befall the territory because of me...”

“There's no way a catastrophe would happen. Who do you think I am? I'm Peta Lucius, who defeated even the Demon King. Did you really think I couldn't protect you, Sieri?”

“...I thought you would hate me.”

“Me? Hate you, Sieri?”

Sieri nodded timidly. I pulled her into a tight hug and shook my head. There was no reason for me to hate Sieri. Even if horns grew and wings sprouted on her, those were merely charm points, not weaknesses. Accepting someone as they are is the very beginning of love. I was a man fully prepared to utilize everything about her to love her.

Still holding her in my embrace, I looked past Sieri's back. Her tail was swaying gently. I gave her tail a light tap. Sieri looked at me in surprise, then smiled faintly and wrapped her tail around my finger. With a suitable feel of the grip and a texture softer than expected, I couldn't help but think of a tailjob.

“It's nice being able to do things like this with your tail. Using your tail instead of your hands...”

“There's also something I want to receive with your tail instead of your hands. Will you do it for me?”

“What?”

Without a word, I unbuckled my belt in front of Sieri. For once, even Sieri failed to maintain her composure; looking back and forth between me and my massively erect cock with a flustered expression, she stroked her tail and asked back:

“A-Are you serious?”

“Because I love everything about you, Sieri.”

“...I don't think that's something you say in a situation like this.”

Even while grumbling, Sieri knelt down and pushed her buttocks toward me. Thanks to her tail slipping out from between the hem of her skirt, her panties were slightly exposed, stimulating lewd imaginations. The contours of her body visible through her thin loungewear and the sight of her wings fluttering pleasantly stirred a peculiar psychology. Turning only her head, she carefully began wrapping her tail around my cock.

Like spaghetti winding around a fork, the tail coiled around my genitals, tightening around my cock neither too tightly nor too loosely. She looked up at me with a worried face.

“Um... are you all right? Does it hurt too much or anything?”

“It's just right. I love you, Sieri.”

“...P-Please don't say that in a situation like this.”

As the tail slowly stroked up and down along my penis, I clamped my mouth shut. Sieri's face, turned back toward me, was completely flushed. Sieri's tail was sensitive. Feeling the sensation of stroking my penis, her shoulders twitched intermittently. Her wings fluttered, her shoulders rose and fell, and her toes curled.

Letting out a deep sigh, I moved my hips a little.

“Haeut......!”

Sieri jerked in surprise, her buttocks twitching. As I rubbed the tip of her tail, I felt it squeeze my genitals even tighter. A feeling of pressure washed over me, as if held prisoner by living vines. Inside the knot of her increasingly tightening tail, I began rocking my hips little by little. She, too, was rubbing her tail against my penis.

“Haa...... haa...... Lucius...... ah... does it...... feel...... good......?”

She asked me. Her tail was not merely engaging in foreplay with me. She was satisfying her own desire upon my genitals. A strange feeling of pressure and pleasure arose, as if our private parts were rubbing directly against each other. Sieri, her head turned away, peeked down at her buttocks with a coy gaze. As her tail became soaked in the pre-ejaculate dripping from the tip of my glans penis, it boasted an even slicker tactile sensation.

“Ah...... aaht...... heuk...... ha......”

Clinging to the bedding, Sieri let out a moaning sound. Thrusting her buttocks further back and lowering her head, she began heaving her body. Her small wings fluttered frantically. The mattress was ripping under her hands clutching the blanket.

“Haa...... haa...... ah...... aeut......!”

“Sieri...... Sieri......”

Calling Sieri's name, I looked down at her wet crevice. Even though we were merely communicating through her tail, the inside of her fully exposed skirt was drenched in love fluid. I poked her underwear, where the shape of her crevice was blatantly revealed.

“Hiyaaagh!”

Trembling at the waist, Sieri reached orgasm. Simultaneously, her tail clamped down tight on my cock.

“Uuuut!”

Semen surged forth, squeezing through the gap of the pressurized shaft. Past the white marks left on the carpet, Sieri trembled violently, her buttocks still thrust outward.
