Chapter 147 Don’t think of an elephant!
Did I hear that wrong?
No, surely I must have heard it wrong.
’If I didn’t, how could such a... such a vulgar, filthy word for female genitalia come out of the Saintess’s mouth...?!’
I must have misheard. I had to have misheard.
"Saintess? What did you just... Uh, I don’t think I heard you clearly because of the sound of the bathwater. So..."
’’...I said my pussy is weird!’’
Screeeech!
My pussy is weird! It’s weird! Weird! Pussy! Pussy...! Pussy...
Christia tried to deny reality, but the echo of Violet’s voice reverberating against the beautiful, antique white marble pillars nearly made her lose consciousness.
Splash!
’’Christia?!’’
In fact, she almost literally lost it.
She had lived her entire life never forgetting her identity as a Crusader serving the Saintess. To dare lose her mind in front of her mistress was a blasphemous act, a complete dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, where she was right now—the place where her butt just slammed down—was inside a bath filled with warm water, so her legs giving out resulted only in a splash.
More importantly, where on earth did she learn such a vulgar word?
Christia remembered censoring any subversive books that might harm the Saintess’s purity with her own hands since Violet was a child, just in case of any unforeseen incidents. So where?!
’That is not important right now. That isn’t the issue... The Saintess, who received the Goddess’s blessing to be free from menstruation, is saying her p-pu.., her private parts are uncomfortable! In a sense, this is a critical issue...?!’
Splish! Splash!
"Are you alright?!"
"Saintess?!"
Christia struggled to regain her dazed senses to ask about it.
But this time, the purely innocent Saintess was the one interrupting Christia’s recovery.
Violet was rushing over worriedly because Christia—who had always stood firmly by her side like an unshakeable oak tree no matter what rough storms blew—had suddenly collapsed with weak knees.
However, the timing was bad. It was too bad.
Right now, Christia’s mind was in shambles because of the word ’Pussy’ that the Saintess had spat out. She tried to erase it from her brain, but it was like someone saying, ’Don’t think of an elephant!’—naturally, an elephant is all you can see.
Similarly, because of the word ’Pussy,’ Christia was currently hyper-conscious of the Saintess’s hairless, smooth pussy.
’Wait just a moment! R-Right now is—?!’
’’If you come over here right now?!’’
What kind of twist of fate was this? Her eye level was exactly aligned with the height of the Saintess’s crotch! Christia flusteredly stammered as her golden eyes were filled with the sight of Violet’s cute, tightly shut pussy.
"I am fine! I must have been tired lately!"
"Aah?! Why are you squeezing your eyes shut like that... Did you fall because your eyes are bothering you!?"
"My eyes are perfectly fine! Look! My eyes are nor—Ugh?!"
To prove to Violet that she shouldn’t worry, Christia opened her tightly shut eyes. But sure enough, the Saintess’s pussy was even closer than before, causing Christia to hurriedly snap her head up.
And a moment later, Christia noticed something strange.
’She is acting... completely normal?’
From the moment she heard the word ’Pussy’ fall from Violet’s lips, Christia had been flustering about as if having a seizure. Yet, looking at Violet’s face as she spoke that word directed at herself, there wasn’t a shred of embarrassment to be found.
Even if they were the same gender, surely being exposed so explicitly should warrant some shyness? Even Christia, the one looking, felt her face heating up.
But the owner of the exposed pussy, far from blushing like Christia, seemed only concerned about her knight falling in the tub...
’I don’t know where or how she learned it, but she must think it is simply the proper term for female genitalia.’
If she knew the connotations of that word, if she knew how it was used in the gutters, such a reaction would be impossible. But one must not lower their guard. Christia tried not to acknowledge the pussy right in front of her eyes as she subtly asked:
"Saintess, forgive me, but... may I ask where you heard the word... pussy?"
Pussy. The word itself had no inherent evil, but it was a term that mostly rolled off the tongues of the vulgar and depraved. It was a word that should never have popped out of the Saintess’s mouth, a word she had no reason to know.
’’Ah! That... well... in part of the Revelation the Goddess showed me, the platinum-haired woman I mentioned before...’’
Goddess, just what exactly did you show this person...!!
Christia wanted to scream out loud right then and there. But she was in front of the Saintess, and she couldn’t very well curse the Goddess.
Exercising superhuman patience, Christia instead directed her arrow of blame toward the ’Platinum-haired woman who walks around naked, exposing her genitals to others, and engages in filthy sexual intercourse.’
’Of all things, why did she have to learn it from such a slut, the filthiest nympho in the world!’
Since that woman was also the prime suspect in the death of her fellow knights, could there be a better excuse?
After that, Christia listened with a groan as Violet recounted seeing a secret place in the black mountains, the Orcs residing there, a mysterious man who appeared, and the aforementioned exhibitionist slut.
"...Since our brothers have gone there, they will likely bring back detailed news about that place soon."
"...Yes, we must hope so."
It was a bit unsettling that she couldn’t feel their soul wavelengths properly, but all they could do now was trust their brothers-in-arms.
As she thought this, exchanging glances with the Saintess, it only lasted a moment.
"So, about that... My pussy is getting all tingly and throbbing, so I was hoping Christia could take a look at it..."
’’?!?!’’
Now, as if to show it off on purpose, Violet began to thrust her pussy right under Christia’s nose. It was Christia’s turn to scramble backward.
Truly terrified, Christia only stopped retreating when she felt the corner of the bathtub against her back. Violet, seemingly unable to understand why Christia was reacting this way, tilted her head and splashed closer, waddling towards her.
’It’s happening again... That strange feeling...!’
The sight of Violet approaching, splashing water as she came. Unlike herself, that hairless, smooth pussy was closing in, and Christia felt her heart pounding violently once more.
It was like before—her hands felt like they were twitching uncontrollably.
She couldn’t bring herself to make eye contact.
’’Oh, come on! Why do you keep avoiding me!’’
’’I am not avoiding you?!’’
Violet, oblivious to Christia’s inner turmoil, continued to approach the silver-haired female knight with eyes that were still pure and innocent.
Something was definitely wrong. No matter how you looked at it, this situation was strange.
’’It’s just weird. It feels like I need to pee, but strangely nothing comes out, and my pussy just keeps twitching and stinging...’’
’’...?!’’
Christia steeled herself. There was always the ’what if.’ She was a Crusader serving the Saintess, and the Commander leading them at that. She decided she would no longer run away.
’Yes, there is no guarantee that the corruption within the Revelation the Saintess saw hasn’t tainted her. I haven’t seen the vision myself, so I cannot know for sure, but one never knows...’
Certainly, it wasn’t an impossible story.
"So I thought maybe if it’s Christia, you might know something. I wanted to ask you to check it directly... Is that... not allowed...?"
"If you put it... that way, how could I possibly...?!"
I can’t refuse, can I?!
To look at the Saintess’s pure private parts? For a mere Crusader to inspect the Saintess’s chaste pussy?!
Christia felt her eyes spinning again; her mind was on the verge of going blank.
But as if reading Christia’s mind, Violet drove the final wedge in!
"I can’t show it to anyone else... So, this is a favor I can only ask of Christia..."
’’I... understand...’’
’’Wow! Thank you! Then right away...’’
If she thought about it, it was only natural.
’How could she show the Saintess’s private parts to others...!’
This industry was overwhelmingly male-dominated. And Christia, like the Saintess, possessed the reproductive organs designed to accept a cock between her legs.
If there was something wrong with Violet’s pussy, Christia was the only one here who could understand it immediately.
She was the only being allowed to see her genitalia, her pussy.
Gulp...
The blasphemous thoughts filling her head made her feel like she was going crazy, but Christia decided to fulfill her duty, as she couldn’t rule out the possibility that something was physically wrong with Violet’s body.
"Then, first, could you please show me directly where and how it feels strange...?"
’’Ah, yes!’’
The Saintess’s tightly shut pussy was now right in front of her nose. Christia held her breath as she watched Violet’s hand slowly reach down toward her own pussy mound.
’’Hnnn... ghh...’’
Schlick...
And finally, the moment the Saintess’s pure pussy—which had never permitted any intrusion—was spread open by her own hands, Christia trembled involuntarily.
But regardless of that, as if unaware of what she was doing, Violet presented her pink pussy and the two holes within it right to Christia’s face.
Christia reached out. With both index fingers, she carefully opened the door to the secret garden, touching the vaginal opening located beneath Violet’s urethra as delicately as if handling glasswork.
’’Haaah... haaaaaahn...’’
"Saintess?"
’’I-It’s nothing! Just, thinking about showing you the inside of my body makes me a little shy...’’
There was no way anything was wrong.
Even just looking at it like this, it was beautiful. All she could see were the vaginal folds, wriggling and twitching as if waiting beautifully for a husband to come, seducing him to find her quickly.
And Christia knew the cause of this trembling.
Just like the cute, throbbing pussy writhing before her eyes, something deep inside her own lower belly was aching and throbbing as well.
"Saintess?"
’’Y-Yes?’’
’’Are you perhaps feeling the same symptoms you mentioned earlier right now?’’
’’A-A little bit. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to burst like before, but if it keeps going like this...’’
It might interfere with her afternoon duties!
At Violet’s words, Christia answered with a slightly trembling voice.
"I will teach you... a method to handle these symptoms when they occur."
