Chapter 516: 「No, I’ll Have to Decline」
TN: After receiving feedback from the community, I’ve decided to change ‘Power of Law’ to ‘Spiritual Power’. Additionally, ‘First Power of Law’, ‘Second Power of Law’, and ‘Third Power of Law’ will now be referred to as ‘First Spiritual Form’, ‘Second Spiritual Form’, and ‘Third Spiritual Form’. I believe these new terms better capture the meaning of the original Japanese and align with the religious aspect of the Holy Empire. Over the next few days, I’ll begin updating the older chapters accordingly. I’ll also correct any overlooked mistakes, so it may take some time, but everything should be completed within a week or two at most.
「In simpler terms, ’tis a curse. We may call it impurities or sin, but at its root, ’tis simply a curse. When thou treadest upon the grass, sometimes small insects are crushed beneath thy feet, and the grass too is trampled, is it not? Even such acts, seemingly small, add to the curse. ‘Tis the resentment of the things thou hast trampled, negative Spiritual Power, if thou wilt.」
「I see, that makes sense.」
The gorgeous fox lady chuckled, seemingly amused by my inability to fully grasp her point. She took a puff from her luxuriously decorated pipe and exhaled a plume of smoke.
「Normally, curses of that level are naught to be concerned about. Hast thou ever seen the snow? If so, this shall be easy to explain. When a single snowflake falls upon bare skin, it will not cause thee to freeze to death, will it? A curse, or impurities as we oft name it, is much the same. Of course, if it accumulates too greatly, thou mayst suffer frostbite, or even freeze to death. In thy case, it was as if thou stood in a snowstorm for hours, only to dive into a frozen lake for a swim... yet, owing to thine abnormally hardy body, thou hast somehow emerged unscathed.」
「Abnormal... abnormal, huh...」
「Cease thy stubbornness. Thou art well aware of thine own abnormality, art thou not?」
「Even if I’m aware, that doesn’t mean I want to admit it.」
「Admit it, admit it. So long as thou livest, it shall ever be a part of thee.」
With that, she burst into hearty laughter.
After the Exorcism Ritual, where I somehow caused a massive explosion—or was it a fiery inferno?—I was left alone, face to face with the important-looking woman presiding the ritual. Though ‘face to face’ is a bit of an exaggeration, as we were just having a casual conversation.
Still, this incredibly gorgeous woman was a bit distracting. Every time she laughed or moved, the things wrapped in that thin fabric of hers jiggled. There’s no way she’s wearing a bra. She’s absurdly beautiful, which makes her genuinely hard to deal with.
Also, her fluffy fox ears on top of her head and those massive, fluffy tails behind her—how many are there? Nine?—are really attractive.
「Hmm, yet still, thou art quite something. To think thou art able to feel lust toward me. That is rather remarkable.」
「I can’t believe I’m the one saying this, but... could you not be so direct? Maybe, you know, soften your words a little? Also, I think it’s pretty normal.」
I mean, she’s incredibly beautiful, and her breasts are jiggling like that. The phrase ‘beauty capable of toppling a kingdom’ fits her perfectly.
「Is it not so? By any measure, I am super sexy, am I not?」
「Yeah, I mean, it’s a bit weird for you to say it yourself, but yeah, you’re insanely sexy.」
「But in truth, most are far too frightened to desire me. ‘Tis not as though I wished to become this way, but I have all but entered the realm of higher beings.」
「Huh.」
「Ah, thou dost not truly understand, yet be honest with me—thou wanna do me, do ye not?」
「Yeah, I wanna, obviously. But every instinct I have is screaming at me to not touch you.」
To explain how much my instincts are warning me off, it’s like taking the absolutely forbidden feeling I had toward Serena and multiplying it by a hundred. It’s a definite no. But... I still want to do her.
「Ah, such loneliness. How I yearn for the warmth of another.」
