Chapter 81: Edug the Virgin Ghost (01)

  - Heehee... Sob sob... -

  Returning to her bed, she couldn't st and was terrified.

  'I usually should be the oerrified of ghosts, shivering in fear. Why has it turhe other way around?'

  Thanks to Shuru, I was freed from sleep paralysis and immediately checked my physical dition.

  Although my dition was ruined due to mana backflow, luckily, I was released with Shuru's help before any disastrous event of my testicles bursting occurred, so there was no serious issue with my body.

  - Whaaa...... -

  She looked like a fully grown noble dy, but there she was, g like a child, hugging a pillow in her room.

  'Why do I have to suffer this? I just wao reach spiritual enlighte and go to my mother...'

  She seemed to calm down a bit pared to earlier, so I attempted to talk.

  "If you have calmed down, may we have a versation? My dy."

  - Sniffle... -

  After g for nearly an hour, she put down her pillow, soaked with her tears.

  'The tear stains... they're disappearing?'

  Clearly, when she was holding it and g, the pillow had translut tear stains, but as soon as it fell from her hands, the tears left no trace, and even when she ran her hand over the surface, only a dry dust feeling remained.

  'Is she really a ghost?'

  I had heard of zombies or skeletons resurrected by neancy, but I hought I'd enter a ghost.

  Ghosts, unlike zombies and skeletons that be created with just a corpse via neancy, are more difficult to trol because they involve dealing with the spirits of the dead, and their abilities had beanageable only retly with uniform mana-armament, making them vulnerable to attacks, unlike before when physical attacks were futile and they were feared. Ghosts had quickly bee obsolete because clerid padins could easily defeat them, sidered less threatening than onsters.

  Even illegal neancers found ghosts of little forceful use and avoided trolling them as they always sought the warmth of the living and attempted to possess bodies, often posing a greater risk to the neahemselves.

  Thus, the ghostly dy I was seeing was a truly rare existen the kingdom.

  "If you have calmed dow us speak, my dy. I am Ban, affiliated with the Magiights."

  - The Magiights... the rgest and stro in the capital? -

  It seemed that 50 years ago, the Magiights' prowess was immense.

  Even a noble dy who was a gravekeeper here kheir name.

  - I belong to the Cordelia family that mahis crypt. My name is Lien. -

  The ghostly dy introduced herself, seeming a bit reassured by the title, and I mentally he noble family name.

  'I have memorized the noble families of the capital region, but I haven't heard of the Cordelia family.'

  That meant one of two things.

  Either the family had been wiped out, or they had moved away from the capital region.

  "How long have you been here?"

  - I don't know... There's no way to tell the ge of seasons here, and I 't feel either hot or cold... -

  "When did this mansion bee like this?"

  - Was it five days after my 19th birthday? I suddenly got a fever and lost sciousness... When I came to, all the servants had disappeared, and I was alone. -

  "What happeo the other family members?"

  - I heard my father calling me occasionally, whispering from afar, but I've never actually seen him... The first person I've seen since I woke up is... -

  Was I the first person she'd seen since being a ghost?

  "Then... what was that act earlier?"

  Referring to her lig my sleeping body.

  Initially, I thought it was a hostile act by a ghost trying to draiality of a living person, but her rea did not seem overtly aggressive toeople.

  - ... -

  At that, the ghostly dy Lien bowed her head and remained silent.

  "If it's difficult to answer, you don't have to... huh?"

  The dy held a book in her hand, through her translut fingers, I could make out the worn title partially.

  'Maid ...tale? Could it be the infamous 'Erotic Maid Legend'?'

  The 'Erotic Maid Legend' was a well-known series of risqué novels, which Dane also owned.

  It was quite an old cssic erotic tale; the story involved a seductive maid entering a noble family, leading to flicts betweeher and son, and even the distented dy of the house beiangled in an uhy retionship with the maid, ultimately leading the family to ruin. The artistic quality of the story was not high, but the process of their downfall was vividly described.

  'Looking closer, this isn't an inal but a terfeit.'

  Naturally, being a famous work, there were numerous terfeits made to look simir. Looking closely at the cover, it said 'Maid Legend Side Story' with a nonsensical subtitle about love aru born otlefield, indig it was likely produced by another publisher trying to capitalize on the popurity of 'Erotic Maid Legend'.

  - Here in the book, it says that if you die a virgin, you bee a ghost doomed to wander forever, but if you have retions with a man before that, you reach spiritual enlighte fortably... -

  'Was that part of the tent?'

  I recalled a folklore tale where unmarried deceased men and women tried to marry the living, but when the living vehemently refused, they ended up marrying each other as ghost groom and bride, and those who were their living terparts also ended up marrying after finding each other patible.

  'But was that story true, a pure virgin ghost really achieve spiritual enlightehrough sexual retions?'

  As far as I khe salvation for souls turned ghosts was either through purification by clerics or by being forcibly erased through pure mana from a mana saber...

  - Sniffle... I just believed that sleeping with a man would help me achieve spiritual enlighte... -

  "But earlier... you seemed quite shocked when you saw my... What do you uand by that?"

  - Of course, I know! If a man and a woman share a bed and hold hands, that means... -

  Shuru, Molng, and I simultaneously looked at the ghostly dy with a look of pity.

  - ...Why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes? -

  "Ah yes... Then why were you lig my chest?"

  - Because the novel said if you share a bed... it's written right here... -

  I took the novel from the ghostly dy to i it; although the book was old and the pages yellowed and frayed, the tent was disible.

  'Hmm... It looks like this part is torn out.'

  It was on for erotiovels to be handled roughly in this way.

  Usually, the explicit parts of the pages were torn out for personal keeping, a praction everywhere. Because of this, Dane always insisted on buying and keeping his erotiovels.

  Sometimes Levin sneakily tore out pages, leading tuments.

  Indeed, not only Levin but also in the library, whenever new books arrived, some of my peers would start cheg the tents, and if rumors spread about explicit ses, they would quietly tear out those parts and take them.

  This book too was tht where the se was describing a woman starting to lick a man's chest, and he was beginning to respond ardently.

  "So, you thought by lig my chest and then sleeping beside me, that it would mean we had sex, and you would no longer be a virgin?"

  - Yes. I apologize for not asking for permission, Sir Knight, but being in this form, people run away in fear, so I thought I would tie us together while sleeping... -

  'So naive.'

  - So, could you please just help me out? I'll just lid then we hold hands to sleep... -

  This was getting frustrating.

  "Do not take sex lightly."

  - Yes... Sex... what? -

  "Sex is the act where a man and a woman bials, and semen produced from the testicles is ied into the woman's uterus for procreation or pleasure sharing."

  If the ghostly dy's face could ge color, it would probably be turning pale now.

  - I... didn't know... Genitals, that's... that's a dirty part... Earlier, you even shot something white from that dangerous an... -

  It felt like giving sex education to a child.

  She had died well into adulthood, and even as a ghost, she had lived for decades. Was it necessary to show her all this?

  'I eag materials for this...'

  Luckily, I had Shuru and Molng as potential teag aids, though Molng, with her ging body, was not ideal for this purpose, so I turo Shuru.

  "Let's start your education to stop being a virgin ghost."

  - Is education necessary? 't we just hold hands and sleep? I'll lick your chest to make you feel it's time to sleep... Ouch! -

  I grabbed Shuru's legs right in front of her, spreading them to show the ghostly dy.

  "Meow?!"

  Startled, Shuru tried to cover her lower half as I gently rubbed her abdomen, preventing her from c herself, f her to submit to my touches.

  "Let's start studying this part."

  Since Shuru's anatomy, though different in size, was structurally simir to humans, I sat her between my legs, spread them, and started showing the ghostly dy.

  "This is the vagina."

  While there were more polite terms like vulva or female genitalia, I opted for a crude term for the sake of expedited education.

  - Va... Vagina? Is that the normal term for it? -

  "Yes. If you go outside and say vagina, everyone will know what you're talking about."

  - But that's where urine es from... -

  "You must have been raised too delicately to examine your own body closely, but this is where it es out, and this is where it goes in."

  - Goes in? -

  "Didn't I say? Iing a penis into the vagina is what sex is."

  - Right... But it looks so small, it really fit? -

  Ah, I fot, I don't have a shrinking potion to show her properly.

  "It's possible."

  At my gesture, uanding what was intended, Molng snuggled into my hand, readying herself, and I immediately started unbuttoning my trousers in front of the ghostly dy.
