Chapter 385

“Damn you, you wretched harlot…!!”

It had been about thirty minutes since the Harlequin Queen had possessed my body.@@novelbin@@

Now, I found myself trapped within her mental space, desperately struggling to regain control of my own body, fighting back against her.

“Why won’t you just pass out? I told you, if you take a little nap, I’ll take care of everything.”

“Shut up…!! Get your filthy head off Ethan’s lap right now, you vile woman…!!”

I withstood the continuous onslaught of her mental attacks, barely keeping my spirit intact against the flood of her wicked thoughts.

Each time I felt close to losing consciousness, the thought of that filthy harlot defiling my Ethan jolted me awake, renewing my resolve.

“No matter if I use Ethan’s lap, it’s still your body. So he’ll remember it as a moment shared with you. In the end, I’m helping deepen your bond. Why are you getting in my way?”

“Don’t you dare call him Ethan with that disgusting mouth of yours, you vile creature…!!”

In the darkness, I tried punching at her sneering face, but all I hit was thin air as she evaded effortlessly. The Harlequin Queen reappeared behind me, her translucent form flickering into view.

“Trying to hit a ghost with your fists? Brave, but foolish. Now that I’ve taken over your body, there’s only one way to get it back. I’ll indulge in my desires, using Ethan to satisfy myself… Oops, my mistake. I meant, I’ll help you and Ethan grow closer. No need to worry.”

“You crazy, depraved wretch…”

There was no forgiving someone who would use another’s body to satisfy their own twisted pleasures with a man. And the fact that she intended to do this using my body with Ethan only made it worse.

“Harlot? That’s uncalled for. I lived my entire life keeping my chastity, not even sharing a kiss with a man. In death, any relations I have aren’t with my own body, so I remain a pure virgin.”

“That’s not what being a virgin means…!!”

“Pardon?”

“Even if your physical body is ‘pure,’ you whisper love and have sex with other men in your mind, which makes your ‘mind’ impure! And if you’re willing to sleep with any man just for the thrill, that means your ‘spirit’ is impure too! According to the philosophy of mind, body, and spirit purity, you violate two out of three. So you’re nothing more than a wretched slut…!!”

“Mind, body, and spirit purity? I’ve never heard of such a concept. How peculiar.”

“Ugh!!”

The second worst type of woman, in my opinion, are those who claim to be virgins while obviously not being one. And the fact that these women genuinely believe they’re pure makes me even angrier. They’re no different from those who claim oral or anal doesn’t count.

Of course, the absolute worst are those who sleep around with any man they please.

“Don’t you dare touch Ethan with your filthy spirit! He’s not someone to be defiled by a wretch like you…!!”

“Your words only make me more eager to… oh, I misspoke, to deepen your bond with him.”

“Get lost! Ethan and I are already close enough without your interference!”

“That’s just your selfish assumption. Men naturally desire to express love through physical intimacy. I’m sure this young lord has been waiting for a day like today.”

“…What?”

Wait, what was she implying? It’s as if she didn’t know that Ethan and I had already…

“I fulfill men’s unspoken desires by borrowing a woman’s body and giving them the courage they lack…”

“No, hold on. What are you even talking about?”

“Pardon?”

“You’re talking as if Ethan and I have never done anything together, but we’ve already crossed that line more than once.”

“…Excuse me?”

The look of utter confusion on the dark-haired nun’s face was priceless. Maybe this was my chance to drive her out.

“Oh, perhaps you shared something as trivial as a kiss. But I mean real, intimate connection…”

“Of course I’m talking about sex. Who explains kissing by saying we’ve ‘crossed that line’?”

“…Really? You’re not lying?”

“I can even describe exactly how big Ethan is when he’s… aroused.”

“……”

The Harlequin Queen’s expression changed as the realization sank in. She seemed to understand that Ethan and I weren’t inexperienced. Yet she still tried to justify why she needed to take over my body.

“Even ordinary men have fetishes, you know? Some men have preferences for things like… oral.”

“Oh, oral? Or ‘wrapping around the wine bottle,’ as we called it? Yeah, I’ve done that a few times.”

“……”

“But Ethan’s a bit big, so it takes more than just my mouth. I have to use my throat, too.”

“Now that I think about it, he might prefer giving more than receiving. It’s something regular women might be too embarrassed to do…”

“Oh, you mean cunnilingus? Or ‘clam soup,’ right? I felt embarrassed about it, but Ethan wanted to so badly, so I let him.”

“……”

“We’ve even done both at the same time. In technical terms, that’s called ‘tail-biting the snake,’ I believe?”

“Even I haven’t tried that yet…? Wait, what…?”

Sure, she might have possessed countless women to be with numerous men, but no matter how many bodies she used, she couldn’t possibly experience everything in one night. No matter how much control she exerted over her hosts, there was no way she could try something like 69 in an abandoned church.

“By the way, I’ve also helped him out with my hands. And we’ve even bathed together, totally naked.”

“……”

“It wasn’t exactly sexual, but there were times when we hugged naked for the sake of healing.”

“……”

“And not too long ago, we even tried pet play. This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but with a cat tail and a collar…”

“Enough! I don’t want to hear anymore! Please, stop…!!”

As I listed the various intimate moments Ethan and I had shared, the Harlequin Queen’s face twisted with horror and disbelief. At last, she gave up and threw in the towel, clutching her head and shaking it as if trying to rid herself of the images I had planted there.

“Do you have no shame?! Even if you’re in love, how could you be so crude?!”

“What are you talking about? Weren’t you the one who said some men can’t be satisfied with ‘normal’ sex? I was just meeting Ethan’s desires.”

“There are limits! I may indulge, but I don’t pursue obscene acts randomly like that!”

“Oh, but isn’t that just admitting you can’t handle Ethan? Why not give up now?”

“I was planning to anyway! Unlike you degenerates, I’m a pure spirit who died a virgin!”

Claiming virginity after seducing who knows how many men as a spirit? That made my blood boil.

The Harlequin Queen looked utterly defeated, her expression one of complete disgust as she hurried to flee from my body.

“I’m done with you perverts! You can have your twisted sex lives together! You depraved maid!”

“This wretched nun dares call me a depraved maid? Disgusting harlot.”

“Who’s calling who a harlot?! I have a far purer soul than you…!!”

With a final snarl, something seemed to slip out of my body, and my vision turned black. When I opened my eyes, I found Ethan’s concerned face peering down at me.

“…Ah.”

…I was back.

The worry in Ethan’s eyes and the feel of his lap under my head told me I had somehow managed to regain control.

“Lilith?”

“…Yes, Ethan.”

“From the way you’re speaking, you must be Lilith. I’m glad you’re back safely.”

…Oh, that Harlequin Queen.

“Ethan, did you see something like a translucent spirit leaving my body?”

“You mean this?”

‘Ahhh! What is this?! Let me go!’

“I thought it was a monster, so I quickly sealed it in a stone. Is this the Harlequin Queen?”

“…Yes, that’s her.”

Looks like I managed to capture her in the end. If she’d escaped, it would have been annoying.

‘No! I refuse to be violated by a perverted couple! I was only cheering on pure love between an innocent maid and her lord! I had no interest in her sordid sex life…’

“Lilith, what exactly happened in there for the monster to react this way?”

“…Give her to me, Ethan. I’ll explain everything later.”

It may have felt a bit anticlimactic, but at least I’d finished off the Harlequin Queen, the boss monster of this abandoned church.

And with that, the necromancy research class boss raid had come to an end.
