After Solari fainted.
At first, I was startled by her limp body, but she quickly regained consciousness, proving her divinity, and I was able to continue.
She tried to run away, begging to let her rest… but after grabbing her tail and giving her a few taps on the hips, she quickly entered mating mode again.
We repeated this cycle throughout the night: she would wake up and try to escape, I’d catch her, pin her down beneath , her eyes would roll back, and she’d pass out again. Who knows how many tis we repeated that?
Even Solari seed to have her limits, as she eventually collapsed, unable to get back up.
Finally, I decided to start cleaning up and lay down next to her.
Though my body was tired, I didn’t fall asleep right away.
I had too many things on my mind.
Among those thoughts, the most important one was whether my wounds had healed.
I let my mind sink into the darkness behind my eyes. Since I’d done this before, entering the area imprinted with my traits wasn’t too difficult.
The bright Blessing of the God of All Things was still shining nearby, but the pure white sun was no longer there.
However, there were no signs of any harsh tears either.
The long scar that stretched from the boundary between my soul and body, where the Blessing of the Sun God used to reside, all the way down to the part where the divine power was torn out of my body, was now filled with a white light, like skin.
It felt as though Solari’s divine power had glued my soul and body more tightly together.
Ah, I see. That’s why she said she had to do the mating herself.
This was sothing only a being that had existed alongside humans for millennia, granting blessings in exchange for faith, could do.
An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to understand the structure of a soul and body, let alone handle such pure divine power.
However, there was one thing that bothered … the divine power had blended into my body too smoothly.
I knew divine power was inherently stable, but it wasn’t my own, after all.
I should have felt at least so discomfort, but I didn’t feel anything like that.
It was as if this power had been mine from the beginning.
There’s a simple way to figure out what’s going on in situations like this.
‘Status Window!’
The mont I called for the status window in my mind, a semi-transparent screen popped up.
Since the monsters outside hadn’t been fully dealt with yet, no achievent window appeared.
But at least the function showing my body’s condition remained active.
Ding!
[Trait Removed!]
Trait: The Blessing of the Sun God (A ) has disappeared!
Are you insane, human?
What on earth have you done?!
Ah. This must have appeared when I shot out the blessing as a mass of divine power.
Thankfully, there was another notification afterward.
[Trait: The Sun God's Favor (S) Acquired!]
You are loved by the Sun God!
The trace of radiance deep within your body is proof of this.
Just as the truth that the sun will rise again even after the darkest night remains unchanged.
The Sun's love for you will always be steadfast, no matter the ti or place.
Her light is already within you.
…In many ways, this is quite impressive.
While bathed in sunlight, stamina recovery and mana recovery speed are increased by 400%.
When not exposed to sunlight, stamina recovery and mana recovery speed are increased by 200%.
Light attribute damage increased by 30%.
Greatly increased favorability with the Church of Righteous Radiance.
“???”
What the…?
Solari had ntioned that the treatnt would include restoring the blessing I had lost.
But this wasn’t just restoration!
There were a lot of changes… First of all, the blessing had gone from A rank to S rank.
It was just a one-rank difference, but that change was monuntal. To give an example, it was like the gap between Iris, who stood at the pinnacle of high-ranking magicians, and a grand magician.
In fact, in this field, there was nothing higher than an S-rank trait.
Receiving an S-rank blessing ant I was now qualified to beco an apostle of the Sun God, which should tell you how high that rank was.
In addition, my recovery bonus during the day increased by 50%, and even at night, I could now recover half as fast.
My bonus light attribute damage also increased by 5%.
Judging by the effects, it was slightly better than the Blessing of the Sun God (S) I rember.
Of course, that blessing’s main feature was the qualification to beco an apostle, so its bonuses were relatively minor compared to other S-rank traits.
Since I didn’t have any intention of becoming an apostle, this version was actually better for .
But still…
The line “The Sun’s love for you will always be steadfast, no matter the ti or place” kept catching my eye.
This was definitely that, right?
It seed Solari deliberately avoided ntioning it… but after such intimate contact, I could tell whether she was sincere or not.
Despite her attempts to escape and her words, she never rejected . In fact, it felt like she was taking this chance to ask for more passionately.
I wanted to hear it from Solari’s own mouth, but here I was, getting spoiled like this.
With a bitter smile, I opened my eyes. As I did, I saw Solari, who had already regained her senses and was glancing at before quickly closing her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
“Solari?”
“……”
“Co on, I saw you open your eyes just a mont ago. Why are you pretending to sleep again?”
“Zzzzzz…”
“Even if you try to fake snoring, it won’t work. I’ve checked, and it seems the treatnt is over, so I won’t bother you anymore. Please open your eyes.”
“…Really?”
“No, I was just ssing with you.”
Solari began to crack her eyes open but imdiately shut them tightly again.
The way she tensed up only made it more obvious that she was awake. Even her lion ears drooped down suddenly.
Laughing quietly, I put my arm around her shoulder and pulled her toward .
The soft sensation of her body pressed against my left side.
Solari was trembling slightly, but at the sa ti, she swallowed nervously, as if in anticipation.
Adding to the humor, she was cautiously peeking at with half-closed eyes, causing to chuckle.
She had always been unusually familiar for a god, but right now, she felt more like an ordinary woman.
Perhaps it was because she had taken on a human body.
I smiled as I played with Solari’s twitching lion ears, which had been moving restlessly since earlier.
“I’m joking.”
“…Huh?”
“The treatnt is done. And naturally, the mating is over too. You’re fine now, so let’s just talk for a bit.”
“Hm, you an to plan out what we’ll say to Helena, right?”
“There’s nothing to plan. We’ll just be honest and ask for her understanding.”
“Well, yes, but…”
Solari’s face briefly showed guilt and regret before she nodded uncertainly.
However, she quickly seed to make up her mind, and with a firm yet sorrowful smile, she spoke.
“You’re right. It’s for the best, after all. This was just a one-ti thing, anyway.”
“Huh? No, it wasn’t. We’re going to do it again next ti.”
“…Grr?”
Solari leaped up, making her signature beastly noise.
I continued nonchalantly.
“Surely… you didn’t think you could just ‘eat and run,’ right?”
“Eat and run?”
“It ans to sleep with soone and then abandon them.”
“I know what it ans! But if we’re being specific, I was the one ‘eaten’… No, I’m not thinking of abandoning you or anything like that!”
“Then you’ll do it with again, right?”
“……”
Solari pursed her lips and shifted her eyes nervously.
“Do you not want to?”
“Well, that’s…”
“I enjoyed it. I’d like to share the sa bed with you from now on.”
“…!”
Solari stamred, flustered by my straightforward words, and I turned to look at her.
With a soft smile, I tapped my lips lightly.
“If you feel the sa way, Solari, kiss . I’ll handle the rest of the issues, whatever they may be. But if you don’t… you can just close your eyes and go to sleep. When you wake up, everything will be back to how it was.”
“Back to how it was…”
“Yes. Let’s pretend like tonight never happened.”
“……”
Solari’s gaze wavered violently. She seed unable to decide where to look, and her face slowly moved closer to mine.
I could almost see the complicated thoughts running through her head: Is this really okay? What about Helena and the other won? What will I say to my followers?
But despite her hesitation, she didn’t stop bringing her lips closer. When there was only half the distance left between us…
I closed the remaining gap.
Smooch.
“Mmph?!”
Solari was startled when I moved toward her first. Enjoying her reaction, I slipped my tongue inside her mouth.
Though she hesitated at first, she soon accepted , and our tongues intertwined.
Like children linking pinkies to make a promise, Solari and I intertwined our tongues, silently making a vow to one another.
For a long while.
“…Phew!”
Solari finally pulled away, gasping for breath. I grinned at her as she caught her breath.
“A severed head of an Evil God will be enough for a dowry, right?”
“Grr?”
Solari’s lion ears perked up, and she blinked in confusion. But soon, she seed to understand my aning and responded by wriggling under the blanket.
Then, I felt a warm, moist sensation below my waist.
Lifting the blanket quickly, I saw Solari holding my mber in her mouth.
Her eyes, now beautifully curved, glead as she gently nibbled on the shaft, seemingly to tease .
“You can still go, right?”
“…Of course.”
After all, the new trait I gained even restores stamina at night.
