The World Is Mine For The Taking

Chapter 1444: Intermission 7: Each Of Their Love Lives (9)

I could tell she got even more confused after hearing me say all that.

Like, genuinely confused.

"Seriously... are you actually the kind of person who’s into that?" she asked while staring at me weirdly.

Into what exactly?

Honestly, I had no clue what she meant by that. My brain was still busy trying to recover from the fact that I somehow managed to say all of that without immediately dying from embarrassment halfway through.

"Well, I don’t really know what you’re talking about," I said while scratching the back of my head a little, "but I hope you at least understand how serious I am about you now. I mean, I think it’s natural for me to go this far when you’re someone I can actually imagine spending the rest of my life with."

She blinked at me quietly while listening.

"I don’t care if other men have already touched you before either," I continued. "If I can become the person who makes you feel comfortable and at ease, then honestly, that’s already enough for me. So... if you’d let me, then I’d gladly become that person for you."

The moment those words left my mouth, I immediately realized how unbelievably dramatic I sounded.

Honestly, if someone else said all that to me out of nowhere, I’d probably stare at them for a solid ten seconds too. But considering how nervous I had been earlier, I still thought I was handling things pretty well overall.

At the very least, I hadn’t fainted yet.

That counted for something.

For a second, she just stared at me in silence.

Then suddenly, her shoulders started shaking.

A small chuckle escaped her mouth at first.

And then she completely lost it.

"Puhahahahahaha! What the hell?!"

She started laughing so hard she almost bent forward from it.

"You’re so fucking creepy, I love it."

"C-Creepy?!"

I couldn’t even hide how offended I sounded after hearing that.

Like damn, I just poured my heart out and somehow got called creepy immediately afterward. That had to be some kind of achievement.

She wiped the corner of her eye while still trying to stop herself from laughing.

"Well, I don’t really know where this whole thing is gonna go yet," she admitted. "But... I guess we could try."

My heart genuinely skipped a beat hearing that.

Although before I could get too excited, she immediately continued speaking.

"Still, you probably won’t get exactly what you want," she said with a small shrug. "My body already belongs to someone else. But maybe I can give you my heart instead, if that’s what you’re looking for."

The moment she said that, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling like an idiot.

"D-Does that mean...?"

"It doesn’t mean we’re dating already, dumbass," she replied instantly.

Yeah. Fair enough.

She crossed her arms while looking at me with an amused smile.

"I literally just told you that you’ve gotta work for it first. Sure, I’m kind of an easy woman in some ways, but my heart isn’t something you can get that easily, you know?"

Honestly, the way she said it made it sound less like a rejection and more like a challenge.

And weirdly enough, I didn’t mind that at all.

Because compared to earlier, this was already way better than what I expected.

A while ago, I was fully preparing myself to get rejected again today. Like genuinely rejected. The kind where I’d go home afterward and stare at my ceiling for three hours questioning every life decision I’d ever made.

Instead, I somehow got another chance.

Not a full victory yet, sure.

But still a chance.

And honestly, that alone already made me feel ridiculously relieved.

Monica’s POV

After work ended for the day, I said goodbye to my colleagues before heading toward the place I usually visited after every shift.

At this point, it had basically become part of my routine already.

Work.

Go home.

Visit the church.

Repeat.

Honestly, my life sounded kind of depressing when summarized like that, but whatever.

While I was walking along the street, I spotted someone familiar approaching from the opposite direction.

"Oh, Monica? You’re already heading there?" the woman asked with a smile.

It was Marisa.

Marisa was the founder of the Church of Mephisto. She had built the church completely from the ground up and spent years growing it into what it was today. Back then, it started off small, but over time it became massive. At this point, almost everyone knew the name of the church.

And honestly, considering how devoted its followers were, that wasn’t surprising at all.

"I wanted to receive Lord Mephisto’s blessing again," I replied honestly. "So I thought I’d return to the church... and revere him."

Just saying that out loud already made my body feel warmer.

Honestly, every time I thought about the Lord, my imagination immediately started going wild.

I could already picture myself getting dicked down by him again.

Well, technically it wasn’t actually him. It was only a replica of Lord Mephisto’s cock used inside the church. But even then, it was still unbelievably huge. Big enough that every time I used it, it felt like it was reaching all the way against my uterus.

And honestly...

Thinking about getting fucked dumb by something that massive while completely losing myself in pleasure always made me feel a little weak in the knees.

Maybe I was a little too devoted at this point.

While Marisa and I continued walking together, another voice suddenly called out to us.

"Oh? You two are early today. You really are devoted to Lord Mephisto’s presence."

I turned toward the voice and immediately recognized the woman walking toward us.

Susan. And beside her was Ada.

Both of them were among the very first members of the church alongside Marisa herself. Just like her, they had spent years helping build the church into what it had become today.

For some reason though, Susan looked especially cheerful today.

Like suspiciously cheerful.

"Susan seems really happy today, huh?" I asked. "Did something happen?"

"Oh, definitely," Susan replied immediately.

The smile on her face somehow became even bigger.

"My son told me he found someone he loves," she explained happily. "I guess he’s finally reached that age already. Honestly, hearing that made me really happy for him."

She let out a small laugh afterward.

"I mean, as someone who’s been growing to love our beloved Mephisto more and more every single day, I think it’s only natural for me to understand those feelings, right?"

Honestly... that logic sounded questionable.

But at the same time, considering where we were heading, none of us were really in a position to judge anyone else’s way of thinking.

So instead, I just nodded along.

"I guess that makes sense."

And honestly, it really did.

When someone loved another person deeply, it was natural for those emotions to affect the way they looked at life.

After chatting for a little longer, the four of us eventually arrived at the teleportation circle together.

The moment we stepped onto it, the magic activated immediately beneath our feet.

Then in the blink of an eye, the scenery around us completely changed.

The Church of Mephisto appeared before us once again.

The inside of the church was already filled with women worshipping the massive statue of our beloved Lord Mephisto. Some were breathing heavily while staring at the statue with flushed faces. Others were openly masturbating while moaning softly beneath the warm light filling the church.

Honestly, the atmosphere alone was enough to make someone’s head feel fuzzy.

Seeing all of it immediately made heat spread through my own body too.

Without hesitation, I started removing my clothes.

And just like the other women surrounding the statue of Lord Mephisto, I began touching myself as well.
