Chapter 179 Political Indulgence, The Bishop’s Offer and a Calorie Bar
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Well, the deal to sell the medicine for Ms. Ivrita’s armor-induced itchiness was settled, but the real main topic—which was about coaxing my (Kouji) allegiance to the Holy Church’s ‘moderate faction’—had only gained more momentum. Bishop Canon rose from the seat opposite me and came right over to my side, opposite Ms. Sakura.
She approached with a quiet pitter-patter and then settled close with a soft thump.
”Hoho! With the matter of Martina and her group, the ‘Saint’, your floating ability, and your potent magic weapon… and now you’re even sharing the medicine to suppress the negative effects of Ivrita’s armor? Darling, it’s becoming simply impossible to leave you alone!” she purred, her voice dripping with intention.
Grab, squeeze… The Bishop took My arm and nestled it firmly between the soft, yet substantial, mass of her large bosom. Though the yielding, heavy sensation was certainly captivating, I chose to refuse, explaining that leaving the Dungeon City would simply reduce the efficiency of My magic stone collection.
”No, thank you. We have a price for the medicine, and in exchange, I’d appreciate it if you’d simply continue to treat Ms. Sakura with care,” I stated.
”Mr. Kouji…” Ms. Sakura murmured happily at My words, and the Bishop responded to her.
”Martina and the others’ report confirmed it for us, and we were already planning to hold Lady Sakura with the utmost respect as the ‘Saint’. However, that means our debt to you remains entirely intact, doesn’t it?” she reasoned.
She went on, then slyly reached a hand toward My crotch, focusing her passionate gaze upon Me.
Slide, rub-rub… “Therefore… even if you postpone joining the Holy Church for now, might I at least offer you the fullest possible omotenashi (hospitality/service)¹ while you’re staying here?” she asked, her voice turning wickedly soft.
”…” This was clearly a play. They’re likely appealing to My emotions through physical intimacy, intending to draw Me into their faction through a gradual compromise. (I’m determined to prioritize Myself, and I don’t plan on abandoning My core goals just because of a sexual relationship, but all My previous partners didn’t require that level of cooperation, after all.)
(No, wait, I did end up revealing My secret ability to the others, didn’t I?) If that’s the case, then it’s highly likely that I (Kouji) wouldn’t be able to abandon a partner I’ve been intimate with, and for the sake of keeping My secrets, I really shouldn’t be adding any more partners. Noticing My internal struggle, Bishop Canon looked up with a small, anxious frown.
”Um… Do I not meet your preferences, perhaps?” she asked.
”Ugh…” This is My weakness. If she wasn’t to My liking, I could easily refuse, but rejecting someone I do find appealing makes Me feel like I’m doing something wrong. I don’t mind lying about My appearance or My abilities, so I suppose I just don’t want to hurt anyone needlessly. Hmm, it almost feels as if someone else’s will is intervening, but…
”…Hee-hee!” she giggled suddenly.
”Mmmph!” Before I could decide, she suddenly planted a kiss on Me. Avoiding her would have been rude considering her official capacity, so I didn’t move and accepted it. The Bishop seemed to take My compliance as a sign that I wouldn’t refuse her entirely. She emphatically licked her lips.
”Haaah. Heh, so you’re not entirely opposed, are you?” she teased.
Slurp.
”Well, I’m not opposed to you specifically, no.” I replied, trying to maintain some distance.
”Then what you’re concerned about is My position? If so… it’s fine if I’m just a woman for you, right?” she reasoned, standing up from the sofa. With a small motion behind her lower back, she grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Swish… FLASH! Her hand pulled the skirt up without hesitation, and with the momentum, she exposed her entire upper body as well. What had looked like separates was actually a dress, and she must have untied the drawstring cinching the waist when her hand moved behind her back.
What was revealed was her body, clad in string briefs and a short camisole that served as a bra. Both looked like silk, but the camisole seemed specially ordered, as her enormous chest didn’t spill out; however, the lower band, tightened to suppress the jiggle, only served to emphasize their sheer size.
Since I was still seated on the sofa, I was looking up at her from below, which exaggerated the view even more. Perhaps sensing My focus, the Bishop leaned forward, bringing her chest close to My face, and then shook it gently.
Wobble-wobble… “How is this? From this moment on, I am your jōfu (mistress/paramour)² alone. Feel free to use me however you like, darling!” she declared with a captivating smile.
I didn’t know her exact rank within the Holy Church, but for the ruler of this town to go this far, the matter of the ‘Saint’ and the deal for My medicine must truly be vital to her. As for the matter of social standing, I’ve had relationships with the wives and daughters of rulers before. If they plan to use emotions to manipulate Me, I have every right to use emotions to manipulate them as well. Therefore… I reached out to the sight before Me, cupping her chest from below and taking a firm grasp.
Slide, squeeze-squish… “Ahnnn!“
”Then… I’ll take your word for it and won’t hold back, shall I?” I inquired, my voice low.
”Yes, please, enjoy yourself to your heart’s desire!” she breathed.
* * *
Some time passed… and Bishop Canon was bouncing her large breasts above Me, her breath coming in ragged gasps.
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
Jiggle, wobble, PAT!… The way that mass of her chest bounced so high, despite its size, was a testament to how fast and violently the Bishop was moving. I had used My usual method of vibrating My object to ‘enhance’ the pleasure, which, of course, increased her excitement. Naturally, I was also thrusting up from below, and the Bishop was thrilled by the way I matched the timing of her movements. She was about to reach her climax, again.
Smack-smack-smack-smack… “Ah! Eep! No more…!” she gasped.
”Then, I’ll give you another boost,” I replied.
I then used My ‘floating ability’ to manipulate a feather pen and a paperweight, causing the feather part of the pen to graze her nipple, while the paperweight was vibrated against her ‘core’ (kaku—center) down below.
Vzzzzzzzzz… “Aaah! This! Again… AAAHHHH!!!”
Spasm! Tremble-tremble-tremble! A small spray of liquid launched from her trembling hips as I delivered a final thrust, coating the paperweight. The object, which seemed to be made of gold and decorated with jewels, was apparently not publicly significant, so it was fine if it got messy.
”Ah… haaah…” she sighed.
Thud.
”Careful now,” I said, catching her.
Grab. I removed the paperweight and feather pen and caught the now-powerless Bishop as she collapsed onto Me. As she settled on My chest, she looked to the side with a languid, melted expression.
”…”
There lay Ms. Ivrita, naked, who had apparently been watching the Bishop’s lewd behavior while resting her body after having already reached her own climax several times. She was in that state, of course, because I had attended to her, and on My other side, Ms. Sakura was also naked, her hips still twitching slightly.
This happened because the Bishop had invited both of them. I had told her I was in a physical relationship with Ms. Sakura, so the Bishop offered to include her if she wished. Ms. Ivrita was invited since I was taking care of her with the medicine deal. Ms. Sakura had seemed a bit bothered by others watching, but once we started, she enjoyed herself without reservation. Ms. Ivrita, given the context of the medicine and the Bishop’s words, accepted Me without hesitation.
She didn’t seem to be a novice, but being vibrated inside was unexpectedly effective.
”Ah! Grrh… C-Can I be killed by this? AAAHNNN!” she had cried, climaxes hitting her over and over, until she was now resting beside us. Taking on three partners required a lot of stamina, so I had been creating and ingesting My homemade recovery medicine orally as needed. (I guess I could make it directly in My stomach, but I don’t usually keep track of My organs’ positions, and creating it in the wrong spot could be messy.)
Now, the three women surrounding Me were the ones who needed their stamina restored. If I offered My medicine to them, they might ask for that, too. We started before dinner. It was now well past midnight, and a full day of activity, coupled with this, meant the calories they’d consumed wouldn’t be enough.
The Bishop, having planned for this, had arranged for food to be brought to the room; the then-clothed Ms. Ivrita received it, and they had all taken turns eating. Still… having food prepared just to sustain us for more intimacy felt a little awkward.
(I don’t think they’ll die if they wait until breakfast, but being unable to sleep from hunger might negatively affect them tomorrow.) With that thought, I rolled over, moving the Bishop underneath Me, and checked with her.
”Ms. Canon, are you hungry?” I asked.
”Mmm… I’m starving,” she answered in a small, sleepy voice.
I asked her by her first name, as she had requested. She seemed to be in her mid-twenties, but perhaps because her position as ruler meant she had no one to be vulnerable with, she was clinging to Me like a child. I pressed her on the next point.
”Are you ready to sleep?”
”Ehh? No, I wanna keep going…”
If she was going to sleep, the food wouldn’t have mattered, but if we were continuing, I needed to make sure they were replenished.
”Wait a moment for Me.”
Pop…
”Ahnnn!” I separated from the Bishop and returned to My own room, where I created the contents of several types of calorie bars—just the filling—inside a leather food pouch. I then returned to her side.
”Here, I brought some preserved food I happen to carry with Me.”
”Just a sec. Gulp-gulp… Phew…” The Bishop first hydrated herself, taking a half-empty pot from the headboard table of the large bed and drinking directly from it. Her manners were poor, but she was exhausted and prioritizing efficiency after all the lewdness. She put the pot back on the table and turned to Me.
”So, you said preserved food, but is it the kind you can eat just like that?” she asked.
”Yes. This is what it is.” I reached into the leather pouch and pulled one out. The Bishop’s reaction was muted, as she didn’t seem to think it was anything unusual.
”Oh, cookies. Better than hardtack or jerky, at least they’re easy to eat.”
”They are, aren’t they?”
”Alright, I’ll take one, then… Munch.” The Bishop took the calorie bar from My hand and put it into her mouth without hesitation. Then, her eyes went wide.
”!? Chomp-chomp… Gulp. What is this!? It’s so soft and delicious!” she exclaimed.
I had created the moist, chewy type. She could conjure water with magic if needed, so normal cookies would have sufficed, but I decided on something a little different.
This was just another way to increase the debt she owed Me. Besides the medicine for Ms. Ivrita, giving the Bishop a slightly unusual but delicious food was a way to accumulate more favors.
I was doing this in preparation for when Seria’s ‘Commercial Recovery’ ability might be exposed. Since Seria’s ability involves consuming currency to cast magic, she might be charged with a crime, and in such a situation, I would want Canon’s cooperation to cover it up.
”May I have another?” she asked, clearly delighted.
”Of course.” The Bishop reached into the leather pouch and pulled out the next calorie bar.
”This one’s a slightly different color from the last one, isn’t it?”
”I have three different flavors for you.”
”Oh, really? Munch… Ah, this one’s delicious, too!” Two of the three flavors had already won her approval.
Even if she didn’t like the last one, I could just offer the two she liked again. The texture was the main problem, as she might have thought it was just stale and damp, like I was pushing off old leftovers.
I kept them soft anyway, aiming to make her prioritize the continuation of this relationship since the items could only be obtained from Me right now.
While she would likely try to develop her own version to replicate them, if she did, I would simply create flavors using ingredients that aren’t available to her. If she tried to trace the source of the ingredients, I could just lie and say they came from the Dungeon.
”Munch-munch… Ah, this is the third flavor,” the Bishop commented, reaching back into the pouch and eating the third bar with relish.
A thought suddenly occurred to Me. These were calorie bars, meaning eating too many of them would likely lead to unwanted ‘growth’ (weight gain).
People in this world probably expend a lot more energy than they did in My previous life. However, would a Bishop and ruler like her be doing much physical labor?
…Probably not. So, I decided to give her a small warning.
”Um… those are very rich in nutrients, so if you eat too many, you might experience unwanted growth (weight gain). Please consider one bar a single meal and be careful,” I cautioned.
Gulp-gulp… Swallow. Phew. Hearing this, the Bishop finished the third bar and replied to Me.
”I see. In that case, I will certainly have to be careful. Well then… shall we continue?” she suggested.
Squeeze, up-down, up-down… “Ugh…” She pressed herself against Me and began stimulating My object with her hand.
”Why did you decide to continue, based on what I just said?” I asked, slightly confused.
Responding with a mischievous look, the Bishop replied, “We need to burn off all those extra calories, don’t we?”
”Ah… I see your point,” I conceded.
”Then, get ready!” she exclaimed.
THUD. She pushed Me down, smoothly straddled Me, and guided herself into position.
”Now, I’ll take this one, too!” she declared with a sultry smile.
Nupupu… “Aaahnnn!“
And so, our night resumed, with Ms. Sakura and Ms. Ivrita also rejoining the activities, forcing Me to accept the fact that none of us would be getting much sleep tonight.

Summary:
The deal with Ms. Ivrita settled, Bishop Canon ramped up her political seduction of Kouji. Using her body, she appealed to his soft spot for his partners, even including Ms. Sakura and Ms. Ivrita to secure his loyalty. Kouji, ever pragmatic, accepted and exploited the situation to his advantage.
After a passionate session involving his unique magic, he fed the exhausted Bishop a special calorie bar, creating a non-sexual but significant debt. The Bishop, energized and determined to ‘burn off’ the calories, eagerly resumed the intense night, guaranteeing no one would sleep.
—
Character Insight:
Kouji’s internal conflict is clear: his desire to be ruthless for his own goals clashes with an ingrained kindness that makes him susceptible to appealing partners. He uses the calorie bars, a product of his unique magic, to subtly leverage future political favors, showing his pragmatic side even during a moment of indulgence. Bishop Canon is fiercely dedicated to her faction, willing to use her personal charm and high status to achieve her goals.
—
Behind the Scene:
The Bishop’s move to include Ms. Sakura and Ms. Ivrita wasn’t just about pleasure; it was a calculated political move to create a shared, intimate secret that ties Kouji closer to the ‘moderate faction.’ Kouji’s creation of the calorie bars is a safety net; he is accumulating favors to protect Seria, whose ability to consume currency could be viewed as a crime by the Holy Church.

T/L:
¹ Omotenashi: It means exceptional, sincere hospitality. Canon’s use is clearly transactional, which is ironic. ↩
² Jōfu: A word for a mistress or concubine, often implying the relationship is purely for the man’s pleasure. By calling herself this, Canon is trying to show how far she’s willing to go to win Kouji over. ↩
