Waiting for the medicine to be prescribed,

'Ahh~! Mom! Mom! Mom! I can't take it anymore~!
'Oh my goodness, RODRIGO, you are such a spoiled child. I'm going to make you comfortable now, okay? Yes, mmm?
'Mama~!

I heard a very thick-voiced man's charming voice and Dr. Marmalade's soothing voice. What the hell is going on in there? ....... That old adventurer, I think he said something about a 'toothache'. .......

As I got my medicine, glimpsing the depths of the world's wickedness, I saw Prine carrying a paper bag as well. I guessed she got the medicine as well.

'Well, let's go home.
'Yeah.'

We leave the clinic.
The moon was shining in the night sky, a little more tilted than before.
The guild district is well lit, unlike the area near my parents' house. The darkness of the night has been reduced considerably.

Giggle.

Suddenly, Prine took my hand.
It was her right hand.
I had been holding a paper bag in my right hand, but I reached out with my left hand, grabbed the bag, switched places, and squeezed Prine's hand back with my right hand.

I glanced at her face.
She was so small, and she was lying on her head, so I couldn't see her expression.

The atmosphere was telling me not to talk to her.
I can understand somehow, since we have known each other for a long time.

'..................'

I had no choice but to look up at the moon.
The full moon was just there.

The moon is beautiful, I thought, but I couldn't say it.





I'm in trouble.
When we got to the front of the room, Prine wouldn't let go of my hand.
She is holding my hand without saying a word.

'............'
'............'
'Um. Prine-san?'
'............'

I remember the first night.

'Do you want to sleep together, by any chance?

I asked, and Prine leaned slightly toward me,

Nodding,

He nodded.



He entered the room and locked the door.

He put a paper bag of medicine on the table,

'Um, ......ler-kun.'

He turns around and is surprised. Prine looked like she was about to cry.

What's wrong?
'Um, you know what?

He handed me a paper bag.

'The medicine inside: ......'.

I did as I was told and took out the pills from inside. It was a small bottle. Inside was a thick liquid. I guessed it was an ointment.

I want you to put the medicine on me.

She looked tearful, yet determined.

'I'm going to have a ....... All over me, all over ......'.

It's too late to say.

Prine began to undress.

'Oh, come on. ......'

I couldn't even stop her, I just watched her in her underwear.

'--Ra-kun.

Prine approached me.

Her eyes are filled with sadness behind her shyness.

The moonlight shining through the window illuminates Prine's body.

''--eh.''

I couldn't help but speak out.

I would regret for a while that I had said this out loud.

Prine cowered in fear and hid her body with her hands. Not her breasts. Her stomach, shoulders, and thighs.

Not because she was embarrassed to be seen.

I realized in that act that it was the most painful thing in the world for her to see "it" etched on her skin.

'Don't look at it, it's so ......

Prine tells me in a sad voice.


Prine's pure white skin is covered with black serpent-like patterns.


Each strand is thin. But there were many of them. They ran here and there, as if Prine had drawn lines on her body with a brush dipped in black ink.

A brush - no, it was a finger.

I noticed that the snake had four parallel lines, and the rest was easy.

These, these marks are the marks the devil made when he touched Prine.

You son of a--......!

To my own surprise, my blood rushed to my head. If I had known what would happen to Prine's body, I would not have killed her so easily. I would have dropped her limbs, stripped off her wings, ripped off her claws one by one, and made her scream in pain, taking my time to grind her life away little by little. ......!

'...... Ra-kun. Don't make that face.

Huh.

Prine looks at me like she's hurt.

'...... sorry.'

I bowed my head.
I look at the floor. Prine's bare toes were curled up tight.

She looked up. Placing my hand on Prine's shoulder, I ask.



'Does that wound hurt? Isn't it painful? Must be a curse or something. I'm going to go to the clinic right now and see Dr. Mom--''

'No.'

She shakes her head.

'It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. Just a little,............ sad.'

That's right. The place where the devil stroked me is swollen as if cursed. It's defiled my body.

Mom, I just saw the doctor. She said it's all right. It's not that strong a curse. It's not something that binds my mind or manipulates me like that demon said.
'I see. ......'

I feel relieved.
Prine continues.

'It's just that women are especially prone to this kind of defilement when they are touched by powerful demons.
'Unholy ......'
'I've caught the eye of that demon. ......'

Prine looks down.

'Mama-sensei told me that I'll probably be a target for demons like that from now on. My body and my magical power are the demons' favorites. ....... So, you know, to give birth to their spouses, children, and so on. ......'
'I'll protect you.'

I just ran my mouth and hurriedly added, "I'm sorry.

'Well, I'm really sorry about the bruise this time, but I'll protect you next time,' he said.

Prine looked up at me and smiled.
Tears fell from her eyes.

'Thank you, Ra.

I was surprised to find myself nervous, even at a time like this.
I tried my best to hold back the urge to hug her. This is not the time. Be serious.

Prine looked at me.

I have a favor to ask you.

I nodded.

'I'll do anything.

Prine smiled happily and touched the bottle in my hand.

'I want you to put the sap of the sacred tree on me, the sap of the sacred tree, the sap of the sacred tree, the sap of the sacred tree, the sap of the sacred tree, the sap of the sacred tree, the sap of the sacred tree.
'Okay.'

I nodded.
I nodded, and then, hmm? I think.
Let's check it out.

'...... uh, I'm going to paint you, right?'
''Yes.''
'It's, uh, it's for your skin, isn't it?'
'Yeah. I hate ....... I know. I don't want to touch this mess. ......'
'I don't hate it, I don't hate it, I don't hate it at all!

I do my best to stop Prine from crying.

'It's just, can I? Can I touch your body with my hands ......?

Slowly, Prine smiled.

'Actually, Mom, she was going to paint it for me. But she said she had to quit after all.
'...... why?
'I heard that these things are more effective if they are applied by a family member or a loved one. ......'

That's why, and Prine.

I want you to put it on Ra. Ra-kun is my ......'.
'Right.'

I nod.

We're family.
We may not be blood related, but I consider you a dear sister, just like Mary.

Yes.

Prine smiles faintly and puts her hands behind her back.
She undoes the ties at her back and her bra falls to the floor with a snap.
Prine shyly begged me, hiding her ample breasts that looked as if they were filled with all the love in the world. I begged.

'Ra-kun, touch my body, ......'.

I stop breathing.
My heart leaps.
Blood rushes through my body, and my head is so hot it feels like it's about to boil.
My throat gurgled of its own accord.

I know what to do.

Just barely keeping myself rational, I lay Prine down on the bed.
Prine rests her head on my pillow,

'Oh ...... Ra-kun smells ...... nice ...... suki ......'

Smile.

'--......!

I do my best to suppress the urge to hug him right now and open the lid of the bottle with trembling hands. He took off the lid, which turned and rolled on the floor with a clank.

I tipped the bottle and let the thick liquid come out onto my hand. It was a little cold. He twirled the sticky liquid around his finger and looked at Prine.

I'm going to touch you, Prine.

Prine looked at me with an expectant expression.

'Yeah. Come on, ...... Ra-kun.

First, I touched Prine's abdomen, trying to eliminate the snakes carved around her cute belly button.
Prine jumped up and down. I panic.

What's wrong? Does it hurt? Are you okay?



Prine laughed and ,

'I'm fine. Just a little ...... cold.'

I see.

Maybe it's warmer if I let my hand get used to it. Is that okay?
'...... yeah. Do that. That's better. It's better if you're comfortable with it.
'Okay.'

After warming the liquid enough with my hands, I applied it to Prine's body.
Each time I did this, Prine would moan, ticklishly or not, and I would have a hard time keeping my wits about me.

No one has ever touched my skin.

The devil touched her through her mage gear. It must have been painful to feel the stinging sensation on my palm from the top of my God-blessed dress. Idiot!

I'm the first one to touch this soft skin!

Prine squeals charmingly. It must be my imagination that she sounds happy and content.
This is an act of breaking the spell.
My gentlemanly nature is being put to the test.

The girl's voice echoes through the cheap inn in the guild district.

Slowly, the serpent vanishes from Prine's body. The spell has been broken.

A few moments later.

Prine is still gasping for air. The black snake had disappeared from her beautiful white skin, proving that the curse had been completely lifted.

'Hah, hah, Ra-kun ......'
'Good for you, Prine.
'Yeah ....... Very, very good. ....... Thank you, Ra-kun.'

Prine, her cheeks tinted with cherry blossoms, smiles happily.

That's good, I think.

Finally, Prine smiles at me.



Then she wipes herself off and puts on her clothes,

'I soiled the sheets, so why don't you sleep over here with me today ......?'

He asked me.
I nodded my head, and now I am lying on the bed smelling like Prine, with Prine squeezing me.

I'm thrilled and trying desperately to suppress the urge to do something.

I'm trying my best to resist the softness of her breasts pressed against my arms, her sweet breath and Prine's awfully clear sleep voice, 'Ra-kun...... suki-......', making my stomach churn.

I can't touch my sister.

I give up, trying not to remember the feeling of her soft skin still fresh in my palm.

I guess I won't be able to sleep again today in a different way.
