Hello, before you read the chapter, I have something to tell you. There will be a lemon ahead, the first one I wrote in my life, so I hope I did it well, and there will be more in the future, but I will really avoid turning this book into porn, since this is not the focus.
As you will also see, there will not be a lot of the redundancy used during modern sex scenes in other books since both characters are from medieval worlds.
That is it for now, enjoy the chapter!

"I… Honestly, I don't know what to say. I never expected to hear that from someone. When you say you like someone, you mean…"
Again, just like when Five kissed me, I felt like a fool for not knowing what to say. Killing demons seemed easier than dealing with what I felt.
My heart pounded, threatening to leap from my chest as a strange heat consumed me and certain uncontrolled feelings and thoughts raced through my mind.
For a moment, there was doubt that her words were true, but a glimmer of hope slowly changed my mind, as did the unusual happiness that followed.
In the end, I wondered if, despite knowing all the problems that would come with it, I wanted to love and be loved by someone.
"Yes, in the loving sense, the same feeling couples have before getting together."
Four nodded, observing me with eyes full of deep emotions I couldn't describe. Love? Anticipation? Desire? Fear? Hope? But I was certain she expected an answer.
I needed a few seconds to reorganize my thoughts, processing the situation before formulating a sentence.
"Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not rejecting your feelings, but isn't Decadus the man who should be with you?"
I mentally kicked myself when her expression shifted for less than a second, a movement so subtle it revealed intense anger and sadness.
Taking a deep breath before letting out a long, tired sigh, her face returned to normal before she looked away and spoke in a dejected tone.
"I don't hate Decadus, nor do I like him as a lover, but I should have treated him better, like a friend, not as something to take my anger out on. I found him annoying, I only realized how important he was to me after losing him to Zero. He was kind and polite, always trying to cheer me up and help, offering advice. Maybe I deserve that, and maybe he's better now…
She looked at me again and despite her best attempts, she failed to hide the pain in her trembling smile.
"…Besides, I prefer men with attitude."
Slowly, her left hand moved towards my cheek, stopping a few centimeters away when her nails, longer than usual, almost touched my skin. The touch came without delay, soft and gentle, making my face heat up and my breath catch in embarrassment.
"B-but why me? What did you see in me to attract your attention? It can't be my appearance."
A gentle laugh escaped her soft, rosy lips, a lovely, melodic sound that made my heart leap.
"I admit, it's not what I expected. You gave me the impression of a mysterious knight hiding a terrible secret beneath his armor. I imagined it was a scar ruining your perfect, prince-like beauty, but in the end, it doesn't matter, you're not a monster, no matter what you think or what other people think of you. You're beautiful and have your own charm, and if anyone says otherwise, I'll crush their faces in."
"Y-you're beautiful too!"
I looked away, shrinking at how sudden my words were, however, it was Four's turn to blush, her smile widened and she moved closer to me, our faces almost touching.
"Thank you. And what did I see in you? Well… At first, I thought you were my enemy. After all, we didn't have a good start, and seeing you with Zero didn't help. But as we talked on the airship, I realized maybe I was wrong. Initially, your honesty and kindness were what captivated me. You didn't treat me like something to worship, like my subjects and disciples, or point out my flaws and criticize me, like some of my sisters. You treated me like a person. You listened to what I had to say and offered your points in return. You weren't afraid of me during my attacks and stood firm, comforting me or saying what I needed to hear to my face…"
"That's a curious way of saying I exploded and threw all your flaws at you."
"…Yes, but I think it was something I needed to hear. Intoners are used to hearing what they want to hear, not what they should. Then I saw how you fought in the tower, the strength and magic you demonstrated, your fearlessness in the face of danger, your quick thinking, and above all, your loyalty and kindness. Despite all the problems, you stayed with us until now, keeping your promise."
The more I listened, the more I wondered if that was how people saw me. Were this individual she was talking about and the real person alike?
"Four, I'm flattered, but you only know a part of me."
"If that's the case, then let me learn more about you."
I fell silent again, pondering what to do. Should I accept her feelings? I won't claim to feel the same way about her in equal measure, but I'd be lying if I said I felt no attraction whatsoever.
She wasn't a good person, but she wasn't completely lost. And I… I wanted more. This warmth in my chest, the affection given to me, I wanted to continue feeling it and reciprocate it in kind.
Would it be so wrong to love someone so dangerous? I want more from life. I don't want to be a Demon Slayer forever; I want to stop and experience something beyond death, fighting, and destruction.
The people of Midgard were living the way they wanted before all this chaos began, so why can't I do the same? For at least a moment, can't I be selfish?
"Four, I won't deny it, I feel something for you, but if we're going to enter a relationship, then I'd like to take things slowly. We don't know each other well enough to say we're in love and that we'll be together forever."
"T-that's fine with me, I think it's better this way. I've never felt like this before, so I'd like time to figure it out too."
"However, just as I'll strive to make this work, I hope you will do the same."
Hesitation and doubt crept onto her face, her eyes stopped meeting mine, and her hand trembled in my grip, making me hold it tighter.
"I-I understand, but do you think I'll be able to fix things with the elves?"
"No."
She flinched as if struck by lightning upon hearing my words.
"But that doesn't mean it has to be that way with the other non-humans you meet in the future. What's done is done, but show that you've changed to those who come after."
"B-but what if I can't do it? What if I mess it up again?"
"You'll never know if you don't try, and practice makes perfect. There will be failures, but for each one, you'll learn and do better next time. Besides, I'll be by your side to make sure everything goes well."
"You promise?"
"Yes, but you need to take the initiative."
Her face shone with star-like joy, and despite not being in the way I spoke, I went against my words and acted first, putting an arm around Four's waist, pulling her close.
Little by little, crossing a short distance that seemed like a valley, our lips met. The softness was surprising, and the sweet taste of her lips left me hungry for more.
I let out a groan of pain when her nails scratched my face, but I didn't pull away, finding myself trapped in her warmth. Seconds felt like an eternity, but eventually, the need to breathe separated us, our faces flushed and our breaths heavy.
"T-that… That was incredible."
Yes, I couldn't think of a better word to describe what I felt, how my whole being raced thanks to the emotions burning in my chest.
"Y-yes… I think so too."
Four was in a similar situation to mine, and us catching our breath was the only sound in the room when we found ourselves in silence again.
It only took a glance between us for our lips to meet again faster than I could realize, this time with much more passion. However, I pulled away from her when I felt a hand trying to slip into my pants, holding her wrist to stop her from going further.
"Four, please, no, we're going too fast. It's better to avoid doing something we might regret later."
"Oh, o-okay, sorry! I forgot!"
She looked at the floor, fidgeting anxiously in her seat, and I already knew what the problem was.
"It's the lust of the Intoners, right?"
She nodded, looking like she was about to burst with embarrassment. I was almost doing the same, considering what I was thinking of suggesting.
"M-maybe I can help you with that… Something more casual, after all, I still have hands… And a tongue."
Four trembled even faster, and I could swear steam was pouring from her ears.
"I-I'd like that. And you? It wouldn't be fair if I were the only one feeling good."
"In that case, can we begin?"
She swallowed hard and nodded, rising and lifting the shoulder of her nightgown with her thumbs, pulling it to the sides and letting the garment fall to the floor.
Like a curtain revealing a prize, I saw her body in its entirety, beyond the little that the prisoner's rags concealed in the tower. Never in my life had I expected to find such beauty before me.
Four was a short, slender woman, but I knew she was anything but fragile. Her fair skin gleamed in the moonlight, her long brown hair swaying in the night breeze.
Compared to her sisters, her body was the least voluptuous, with small, rosy breasts and few curves, until you reached her wide hips and soft, well-defined thighs.
"Hey, are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to take your clothes off too?"
She covered her private parts, speaking with feigned anger as she shivered in the desert cold.
I was a fool again, an idiot. I fought the anger I felt at myself and stood up, pulling down my pants, taking one leg off at a time before throwing the clothes aside.
Four's eyes widened, analyzing me from head to toe.
"I guess there's nothing new, considering my nudity in the tower."
A poor attempt at humor, but one that made the beautiful woman laugh. With careful steps, I closed the distance between us, pulling her by the waist and capturing her lips again.
It wasn't long before our tongues danced, deepening our union. I jumped in surprise when I felt a soft hand encircling my member, failing to suppress a groan.
Returning the gesture, I held Four's right breast in my grip, trapping her nipple between my index and middle fingers, eliciting a moan from the woman, sending vibrations through our lips.
We reluctantly separated, as if we would die apart, longing even more to share this passion and lust.
I asked her to sit on the edge of the bed so we could continue, and as soon as she turned her back to me, I couldn't help but revel in her large behind.
As soon as she sat, I knelt in front of her, awaiting her permission to continue. Four parted her legs and looked away, revealing her smooth, trimmed sex.
Without another word, I leaned forward and plunged my tongue into her warm folds.
"AH~"
My eyes darted upwards, seeing Four covering her mouth. I took this as a good sign and continued, intensifying my movements. The taste was sweet; I went as deep as I could, searching for more, licking from top to bottom at a steady pace.
Her moans grew louder, and I felt a hand gripping my hair, pushing me deeper. It was far from painful, but I prayed she would be careful with her nails. So I continued, moving my tongue in circles, drinking her juices.
With my right thumb, I pushed her clit, and…
"AAAHHH~"
CRASH!
A deafening moan tore through the night; Four used her song and shattered the bedroom window. I was about to ask if she was alright, but a second hand held my head, and a pair of thighs closed around me.
No further signal was needed for me to continue.
I went as deep as I could, licking in every direction, tasting her folds, creating wet sounds that mingled with her moans. I continued pushing and caressing her clitoris, her cries now completely free. It was intense, and we both wanted more.
A tremor ran through her body, Four's grip around me intensified, and with another wave of the song's power, she reached her climax. A jet of her juices covered my face; I could feel Four's folds trembling on my tongue, as well as her body in occasional spasms.
However, I was still trapped between her legs, not that I was complaining, but it wasn't long before the grip disappeared and I could stand up.
I wiped my mouth with my wrist, looking at Four sprawled on the bed, red-faced, glistening with sweat, her brown hair a sea of hair clinging to her, and a silly smile as she chuckled softly.
"That… That was great… Now I know why Five likes this stuff."
I ignored her words and positioned myself above her, intertwining her fingers with mine before moving in for another deep kiss. Unfortunately, it didn't last long, as she used her superhuman strength to push me aside, placing me on my back on the bed.
"It's my turn now."
I lifted my head, seeing Four kneeling between my legs, staring at my member erect like a mast.
"Do you know what to do?"
"Of course I do! I just didn't expect it to be so… big."
"Just be careful with your nails, please."
If Four heard me, she didn't answer, enveloping my cock with her hand, and her touch alone made it throb. Hesitantly, she pumped her hand up and down in a steady rhythm, sending vibrations of pleasure through my body.
"Are you enjoying this?"
"Y-yes, keep going!"
I struggled to speak between my groans, focusing on the sensation of her gentle, warm, velvety hand. But the fog cleared from my mind when the wonderful session ended.
I turned to Four, wondering why she had stopped, only to see her move even closer to my groin, my member touching the center of her chest.
Before I could even ask what she planned, Four squeezed her breasts with her arms, trapping my cock between her soft mounds. Then, with a wide smile on her face, she jumped, caressing my entire length.
I couldn't keep my eyes on hers, I clenched my teeth and threw my head back, threatening to tear the sheets in my grip, letting out a loud groan.
It was as if I were on fire, tingling sensations coursing through my flesh as the Intoner quickened the pace, her heavy sighs reverberating off the walls as her hard nipples brushed against the head.
With a final vibration, the building pressure reached its limit.
"Four, I'm going to…!"
I couldn't finish; in a moment of pure euphoria, a white jet painted Intoner's chest, making her let out a little squeal of surprise. Pulse after pulse, more and more strands painted the woman's rosy skin, and when it was all over, I took a deep breath, catching my breath.
I sat on the bed, watching her bring a finger covered in the sticky substance to her mouth, frowning before looking at me. I felt my face heat up; I hurried to say something before the situation became even stranger.
"T-That was amazing."
"T-thank you, you were great too."
"I-I'm glad to know I did a good job. Are you satisfied?"
"No, not at all."
Four leaned on my thighs and stood up, looking down at me with a face full of lust.
"Me neither."
My member was still as hard as a spear; using so many souls to increase my stamina proved to be a great advantage.
The Intoner sat on my lap, wrapping her arms around my shoulders, our bodies so close we could feel each other's breath. My cock found itself in paradise between her voluptuous asscheeks. Soft and warm like the rest of her body.
I moved my hands down, savoring the sensation of my fingers sinking into the flesh. I gave each cheek a firm, bold squeeze, making Four jump. Her nails scratched my back and her lips sucked on the curve of my neck, making me groan.
Then, I thrust my hips upward, sliding my cock down the smooth valley, while Intoner threw her body in the opposite direction. The slapping of flesh against flesh echoed off the walls, mixed with our grunts and moans; the night was long and this was only the beginning.
-XXXXXX-
I groaned as I felt something warm touch my face. The fog of sleep gradually dissipated, making me shudder as the sunlight touched my face.
I miserably failed to shield my eyes with my hands, as a weight was blocking them. I felt a pang of confusion, then panic upon realizing there was a stranger in the room.
I was about to jump out of bed and grab a weapon, but I stopped immediately upon realizing who it was, and with that, the memories of the previous night returned.
Ooohhh…
I didn't know whether I should feel happy and proud of what I had done, or scared of becoming intimate with such a troublesome person. I remained silent, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what to do, and the more I remembered, the redder I became.
It wasn't long before Four awoke as well, murmuring something incoherent as she lifted her head, her hair cascading around her. She rubbed her eyes, letting out a yawn before rising, throwing off the blanket and revealing her naked form.
At that moment, with her natural beauty on display and the sun shining on her back, I understood why people referred to Intoners as goddesses.
She was beautiful, pure and simply beautiful.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
Her soft, melodious voice, as well as her glorious smile, made my heart melt. Words failed me for a moment before my mind returned to normal and I was able to answer.
"Y-yes, and you?"
She lay on top of me, sealing her lips with mine in a quick kiss before resting on my chest, caressing my scars.
"I couldn't have slept better."
I wrapped her in my arms and stroked her back. We remained like that for a few moments, enjoying each other's presence and comfort. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay like that any longer; everything good had to end at some point, in this case, thanks to our hungry stomachs.
The noise that echoed through the room was embarrassing, but it still managed to elicit a few laughs from us.
I opened my door, seeing that the hallway was empty. With that done, Four, wearing her nightgown, gave me a quick kiss before returning to her room, skipping happily before disappearing behind a nearby door.
I closed the door behind me, leaning my back against the wood, letting out a loud, tired sigh, but instead of the usual irritation, I couldn't have been happier.
A few minutes later, I left my room, wearing yesterday's clothes and weapons. Four left hers almost at the same time, wearing a long skirt, sandals, and a white shirt while her hair was tied in a ponytail.
I offered her my hand, which she readily accepted, intertwining her fingers with mine before we descended the stairs to the inn's ground floor.
"Hey, over here!"
The place was practically empty, but Five made a point of waving to us from a distant table.
She was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and beside her, Eupherbia was flying, with a smile that threatened to split her face, just like the blonde Intoner.
"Soooo, how was it? I want all the details!"
"Five, no!"
Four blushed bright red and immediately got into an argument with her sister, who had no qualms about describing what we supposedly did based on the noises she heard.
"So, you and Zero have some kind of deal?"
The fairy asked, sitting on my shoulder while swinging her legs in the air.
"Deal? What kind of deal?"
I frowned in confusion.
"You sleep with her sisters while she sleeps with her sisters' boyfriends."
I clicked my tongue as the fairy laughed heartily, heading towards the innkeeper and ordering our food.
As before, I just paid and didn't receive a single word in return, so I returned to the table, sitting next to Four who was begging her sister to shut up.
Eventually, the food arrived and while we filled our stomachs, we discussed our plan: finding One, figuring out what's going on in this city, and where the hell Zero and the disciples ended up.
