Chapter 176 The Divine Message Arousal and Interruption
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
He extended five tentacles, grabbing the nearest bathrobe. Since Shelm had possessed Marina’s body, he knew a long, drawn-out talk was inevitable. He couldn’t possibly leave Ashley, drenched in sweat and utterly spent, lying there. When the tentacles lifted her limp, trembling body, still reeling from the afterglow, she docilely cooperated by sliding her arms into the sleeves. He figured her mindset was: even in the midst of experiencing the highest pleasure, resting when the mistress arrived would ruin a proper wife’s dignity¹. Still, her body, tormented by lingering sensation, wasn’t free to move, so he had to use a few tentacles to help her sit up and then support her upper body.
”Alright, Suzuri, you too. …Suzuri?”
He couldn’t just leave Suzuri, whom he had been working on with his erotic skill before the intrusion, lying there either. He glanced toward the corner of the bed where the mass of tentacles lay, but found only tentacles losing their grip, tangling with each other, and aimlessly wriggling. He looked around, and there she was: Suzuri was hiding behind Ashley, peeking out over the edge of the bed so only the upper part of her face was visible.
”Ah, you can stay right there. But put on a bathrobe. It’s bad for your health to stay naked like that.”
”Y-yes, sir,” Suzuri whispered softly.
Suzuri had a history where her skill was taken control of, she was stripped bare, and her master was abducted when Shelm trespassed into the private domain. Because of that, she seemed to have a deep aversion to Shelm and immediately went into extreme caution mode whenever the goddess appeared. While that wasn’t exactly proper behavior, considering what had happened, he didn’t blame her. However, it felt odd that she could escape so easily when she had been so thoroughly pinned down and begging for mercy just moments ago.
At that moment, Shelm, using a silent, potent pressure, focused on him. It seemed the tentacles still implanted in her possessed rear weren’t coming out easily. Though she could likely do anything with divine power, he knew the results would be disastrous if they were simply ripped out. So, he complied and made the tentacles disappear, but he couldn’t, on principle, allow her to intervene in his marital acts.
Shelm, however, didn’t care one bit for his irritation. She checked the condition of the spot he had just evacuated by wiggling her cute behind a few times, then scurried toward him with an almost animalistic speed.
”Hehe, amazing, Yuuri-kun. I was so confident in my Marina impression; how did you figure it out?” Shelm teased.
”Hmph. For someone like you, who isn’t affected by the crotch tattoo², being entered might be your only pleasure. …But who do you think made my wives unable to resist tasting my seed?” he countered.
His servants’ sense of taste had been altered to savor their master’s semen as the ultimate delight. So, after one person finished, the next person with a free mouth would eagerly rush in to clean up. The fact that the Marina-impersonator immediately tried to go for insertion told him something was wrong. Though, truth be told, the shimmering rainbow glint in Marina’s eyes was also a factor, he couldn’t use such an unsubstantiated hunch as a proper reason.
Yet, Shelm seemed thrilled. She leaned in closer, her wicked smile deepening. “Mm, yes, yes! Good, good. You’ve grown quite a bit. Your goddess is so happy, dear.”
”I don’t care. I was about to be enjoying myself with Marina, so can’t this wait?” he insisted.
No matter how long he was mentally prepared to host her, he didn’t have to meekly comply and continue the conversation according to her whims. Even if she was a god, since she was demanding human interaction from him, he knew she would approve if he used that as a shield to refuse. Thinking this, he brought up the sleeping Marina with a firm attitude. Shelm, however, didn’t seem offended at all. Instead, she shook her head slowly and doubled down.
”I can’t do that. If you and the others are being shortsighted, your goddess has to guide you, doesn’t she? You are trying to choose the most difficult path for the sake of the re-³… But you can gain that power much more easily without all that trouble.”
It was then that he realized this lust-crazed goddess hadn’t just barged in for an impromptu session. She was delivering a divine message (oracle): the long, secluded training period needed to clear the eighty-third floor with only the goddess’s protection was unnecessary. Since he was forcibly turned into a tentacle human, he hadn’t had any chance to deal with Shelm. That was partly because he had been meticulously preparing to clear the status ailment floors, finding no need to seek out and burden himself with the troublesome goddess. A mix of hope—that he could skip over ten years of training—and caution—that she would push some ridiculous task onto him—warred within him. Shelm, looking delighted, puffed out her chest and continued her gracious message.
”I built that sacred hall for you to worship me right here in your Workshop, didn’t I? …Lately, Marina only uses it for training, which makes me very sad. But since you have a place where you can directly make a wish, why didn’t you consider relying on me?”
”Because asking you would definitely make me walk a dangerous path. I absolutely don’t want to get involved with you as long as I have other options,” he flatly refused.
Humans aren’t built to accomplish things in a single leap. Even if it takes ten years of groundwork, if there’s meaning to it, he could still rise up. Looking back at his life, where he was recognized as a labyrinth guide, there was no room for debate on which option to avoid: ten years of training or asking the goddess for a favor. He countered her, calling her intervention unnecessary, but the goddess, who never questioned the righteousness of her own motives, pouted petulantly and pressed her point.
”Hah? Of course, the price would be high if you impertinently asked for something, but you conquering the labyrinth is something Mataaha and I both want! I went to the trouble of preparing a good plan for you! Besides, I’ve been watching over you this whole time. How could you ignore your grateful goddess for a whole year? Yuuri-kun, all you do is flirt with your wives! I’m a legitimate mistress of yours, too, you know. And since you’re a god’s lover, you should properly comfort your own woman!”
Her voice started loud, as if the criticism was deeply unfair, but it gradually dropped, turning into a complaint about the long lapse in communication. Before, she had only been nearby, self-aware of her intrusion into their intimate moments, but unable to control her emotion, she put her hands on his cross-legged knee and brought her face close. She even wiggled Marina’s beautifully formed body suggestively, causing the vigor in his ebbing male organ to immediately resurge. Shelm’s eyes lit up at the sight, but he couldn’t be sweet-talked that easily. He hardened his heart, grabbed the hand that reached for him, and stared into the rainbow presence in her golden eyes with slightly increased intensity.
”If you want to be with me, come here in your original body. You did it when we held the wedding ceremony, didn’t you? It might be nothing to you, but I find your other body breathtakingly beautiful and appealing, too.”
”Ugh, you just don’t get it, Yuuri-kun. I want to be alone with you, for some intimate time!” Shelm whined.
As always, this goddess was utterly unreasonable and wicked. Who did she think she was, to assign him multiple women yet not want to join them? He refrained from even an internal tsukkomi (snarky comment) about her being a god, but he absolutely refused to let her use the priestess’s body as a cover for their extramarital affair.
”In any case, I will absolutely not be with you while you’re possessing Marina. If you’re going to give me a solution, I’ll come to the sacred hall later. So, be a good girl and get out of there now.”
”Tch, you’ll regret this later. …In that case, Ashley. I’ll be borrowing Yuuri-kun later.”
He thought she would just leave after he got her to agree, but the mistress, having secured his promise to visit, was careful to seek permission from the main wife. Ashley, who had been resting her body like a cushion, supported by the tentacles, listlessly turned her head. Her emerald eyes stared directly at the body of her possessed mistress.
”I won’t object to you inviting Yuuri now. But please refrain from giving him power by tormenting him as you did before,” Ashley asserted.
”Mm-hmm, of course. I won’t do anything to Yuuri-kun. Actually, the phase where I needed to do anything ended when Yuuri-kun mastered the tentacles. So this invitation is just a bonus for giving him something useful. I only intervene when you try to steer things in an undesirable direction. Adding to the blessing is not a bad idea, considering what you can do on your own. But I wish you would have just relied on your goddess instead of worrying yourselves sick over it,” Shelm said, slightly frowning as she looked at Ashley, who was using the bathrobe to cover her nakedness but still marked by the tentacles.
However, the unpleasant expression immediately softened once she got the wife’s permission, and she quickly returned to her good-natured mood. She leaned forward and took hold of his arm.
”Well, I suppose I can forgive and forget if Yuuri-kun accepts my invitation. So, after you’ve satisfied Marina and Suzuri, hurry to the sacred hall. If you make me wait any longer, even a compassionate god like me will have to abduct my favorite Yuuri-kun again!”
With that unilateral conclusion, she settled her hips onto his cross-legged knee, pulled his arm, and nestled her small body into his embrace. Realizing her intent, he tightened his arms, supporting her smooth back. Shelm smiled sweetly and rested her head on his shoulder.
”I’ll be waiting, dear—”
”Yeah. I’ll come soon.”
The goddess left for her domain, nagging him slightly, leaving Marina to suddenly go limp in his arms. After that, only the peaceful sound of her breathing remained.
”S-she’s… gone now?”
”Yeah. Her presence is completely gone. Only Marina is here,” he confirmed.
Suzuri, sensing Shelm’s departure, crept cautiously over the edge of the bed. When he told her the rainbow presence was gone, she let out a large, deflated breath and looked back and forth between him and Ashley. Seeing her blushing cheeks and the body that shivered slightly in his arms, it was obvious what this timid youngest wife desired.
”…So, I apologize, Ashley. Though you agreed to assist in the Familial Workshop’s cultivation, this session is now over. No matter how wicked she is, I can’t leave her waiting when she calls.”
”Yes, sir. I have already been thoroughly engraved with pleasure, so please calm the arousal of the other two for me,” Ashley agreed.
During their typical intimate sessions before bedtime, they usually continued until either the master or the servants were completely exhausted. Stopping while both sides still had energy would leave the servant whose turn it was just before the interruption with unfulfilled desire. Because of this, in the early days of their journey, he was exhausted and constantly swarmed by the servants, and lately, he just collapsed into a deep sleep next to his satisfied, slumbering wives. Cutting a session short like this was rare, but given the goddess’s forceful demand, it was appropriate to end with the person who went first.
”It might be hard for a little while, but the flow of time in her domain will probably be even faster. I think I’ll be back quickly, and when I return, you’ll be the very first one I comfort.”
”Nngh… Hearing you say that makes this frustration feel a little bit pleasant,” Ashley confessed.
Since she was the eldest, the benefits and the duty were hers first. Even though it played into Ashley’s personal code, the promise of the next favor seemed to slightly lift her waiting gloom. Rushed by Suzuri’s silent pressure, he gently laid the unconscious Marina down on the bed. Though she was still breathing peacefully, the crotch tattoo on her lower abdomen glowed brightly, showing that her body was highly aroused. While he could wake her up to calm her, Marina never usually fell asleep when she was this worked up. Once that thought crossed his mind, the possibility of her pouting later seemed insignificant. He commanded the anxiously watching Suzuri to stay put with his eyes, pushed his hips toward Marina’s tentacle-secured thighs, and Marina’s uncharacteristic panic quickly turned into a charming sigh that echoed through the bedroom.

Summary:
Yuuri’s intimate session with his wives is abruptly interrupted by the goddess Shelm, possessing Marina. He uses the unique effects of his skill to quickly identify the impostor. Shelm, motivated by petty jealousy, delivers a divine message (oracle) that offers an easier ‘plan’ to gain power and avoid ten years of training, but Yuuri rejects her until she leaves Marina’s body. After securing his promise to visit the sacred hall later, Shelm departs, and Yuuri quickly moves to satisfy Marina and Suzuri, who are left highly aroused by the interruption
—
Character Insight:
Shelm’s character is highlighted by her intense jealousy and petulance, using divine power for personal, sexual attention. Yuuri is shown to be firm in his boundaries (refusing intimacy with a possessed wife) but dutiful to his promise and attentive to his wives’ physical needs, managing the delicate balance of his harem even under divine duress
—
Behind the Scene:
This chapter is a transition point, confirming Yuuri’s increased awareness of the divine world (noticing the rainbow glint) and setting up the next major plot event: accepting Shelm’s mysterious boon in the sacred hall. The use of the tentacles and the crotch tattoo reinforces the core system of the world

T/L:
¹: Koken (沽券) refers to one’s reputation or standing. Ashley is acting like a proper main wife, trying to maintain composure and duty despite her exhaustion.
²: The crotch tattoo is a recurring element that functions as a magical indicator of arousal and a symbol of the skill’s physical effect on Yuuri’s wives.
³: The text refers to re-training or a long period of secluded effort to gain power, likely referencing the re-incarnation nature of the story, or re-conquest of the labyrinth.
