Kapers Mine.

“Team 1, break! Team 2, go in!”

The young men of Team 1, covered in coal dust, came out of the mine.

Given a brief break, they poured water from buckets over their heads to cool their sticky sweat. Their thin shirts soaked with water revealed their trained, muscular bodies.

Arm muscles as thick as most women’s thighs, abs like a washboard, chest muscles that could easily crush a person, and thick thighs that seemed capable of anything.

Contrary to these rugged muscles, their faces were as innocent as a nobleman’s. Their muscles may have looked intimidating compared to others, but they were all handsome men worthy of their jobs¹내로라하다 means that a person is so good at something that they deserve to be the representative in that field.

But these miners were part of the extreme poverty-stricken underclass in Bistiman. Getting a job in a mine where people collapsed and died once in a while was purely for survival.

To pay for their sick father’s medicine, their younger brother’s tuition, or to take care of a niece left behind by a deceased sister due to illness. They were more desperate for money than anyone else.

Therefore, despite their good looks, they couldn’t even dream of dating or marriage due to their harsh reality.

They grew hungrier by the day and longed for the embrace of women they could never have.

Their daily joy was looking at a female n*ked body drawn by a colleague and m*sturbating.

After finishing work, they m*sturbated three times a day, but those who actually saw a woman’s n*ked body were few and far between.

Perhaps only divorced men in their late thirties. Many of them had come here after bankrupting themselves while desperately caring for wives struck during the epidemic.

“Ken! Is this all? Is there nothing more?”

Belric complained about the meager piece of bread given by the team leader. This tough bread, barely chewable after eight hours, was all they got.

Ken, seeming uninterested, shrugged his shoulders and disappeared into the warehouse. As the son of the team leader, he often ate bread and fruit alone in the warehouse.

Near the mining area, there was a timid guy who couldn’t even lift a finger. He seemed to sleep soundly on a mattress.

The miners cursed and reluctantly ate the tasteless bread. If they didn’t eat it, the next task would become even harder.

“F*ck, can’t we at least bring a woman in here?”

“It’s not just lust; I want to hold a woman!”

Although their words were rough, most of them were inexperienced men who had never held a woman’s hand. After barely swallowing the bread with water, the miners calmed their simmering lust by looking at drawings of n*ked women.

A broad circle, slender lines, concave curves. Despite being just that, the women in the drawings were the only objects of desire for the miners.

However, after months of repetition, they were gradually getting bored. Now they wanted to suck on a living woman’s br*asts and touch vaginas.

“Ha, is there anywhere I can go to meet a woman…”

Belric muttered as he glanced at his er*ect p*nis. Did his words reach the gods in heaven?

Startled by the approaching woman’s figure from afar, Belric dropped the piece of bread he was holding.

But that wasn’t all. The miners who had been sitting and talking dirty suddenly stood up as if possessed by madness and stared at the woman in front of them.

“A saintess…?”

Each of them uttered the same words as if under a spell. The saint’s white attire, her pure and sacred face without blemish, her delicate yet graceful footsteps. And…

“Oh my god.”

Their widened eyes were now fixated on the saintess’s chest. The miners’ pants all swelled up significantly. The space between their legs was much wider than their physique suggested.

“Hello. I have some good items; may I briefly interrupt?”

Unaware of the miners’ state, Rosé smiled brightly and set down her bundle.

The miners quickly surrounded Rosé. While their politely clasped hands showed respect, their gazes directed towards her chest and b*ttocks were insatiable.

Even as Rosé bent down to unpack her bundle, they couldn’t take their eyes off her swaying hips and n*pples peeking through.

Although they didn’t know what the items were, they all agreed that they had to pretend to buy something for now.

“Would you like to take a look around? These are popular items that not just anyone can buy. Especially this! This herbal juice is excellent for back pain. I’ve tried it myself and the effect is just amazing…!”

Unaware of what she was selling, Rosé exaggeratedly gestured and told lies enthusiastically.

The feeling of back pain easing, miraculously straightening up, holding up the herbal juice with a thumbs up gesture, shaking her index finger saying not everyone can buy it… 

But the response was lukewarm at best. Even though their eyes widened when she bent her waist or jumped in place, they took a step back when she handed them the item.

‘It’s not easy…’

Rosé narrowed her eyes and scanned each miner one by one. Were they short on money perhaps? Despite their excellent physique and beauty, their status seemed to be B-tier due to their commoner background.

After contemplating for a moment, Rosé took out her last resort from the bag. Following the priest’s advice, she gently spoke to the miners.

“What you see here is a sacred pledge permitted by God. For each item you purchase, I will give you one sheet of the oath. When you collect ten sheets, I will grant you my lips, and when you collect twenty sheets, you can embrace me.”²품 or ‘embrace’ is a euphemism for s*x

‘Is this right?’

With a bright smile on her face, Rosé awaited the miners’ reaction. However, their expressions were unsettling.

Suddenly, they turned red as if they were about to explode, fidgeting like animals needing to urinate.

Rosé blinked her eyes, and within that moment, the miners snatched up items as if they had made a pact with each other.

“I’ll take it!”

“I want this one!”

“Saintess, this one!”

“I’ll buy it!”

“I’ll take it!”

‘Wow… It’s really selling well, isn’t it?’

Rosé blankly stared at the coins handed to her by the miners. Goodness. The items were selling like hotcakes. Rosé, belatedly coming to her senses, collected the coins and shouted.

“Come on, line up in order. There are still plenty of items!”

Eventually, after just one hour of sales, thirty-four items were sold out.

Even though they discouraged the miners who wanted to buy two or three items each, or even ten items each, and sold only one item per person, the items disappeared in an instant.

Rosé, carrying an empty bag on her shoulder and holding one item each, smiled at the miners standing with their purchases. There had never been a day as satisfying as today.

“I guess I’ll have to bring more items tomorrow! I didn’t realize everyone was so interested in toys!”

Most of the items were small dolls suitable for girls to play with. Initially, she thought only herbal juice would sell, but well. It seemed like they had daughters or nieces at home after all.

“Well then, see you tomorrow, miners!”

Rosé leisurely walked through the crowd of miners who held out their hands in regret. Due to high demand, she raised the price to five times the cost.

‘All right. Let’s try raising the price ten times tomorrow.’

Excited about making fools of the miners, Rosé, with an empty bag swinging like a toy, hummed a tune.

* * *

Rosé’s business in the mine continued to thrive. Today alone, she sold a whopping two hundred items.

Smiling as she looked at the empty bag once again today, Rosé thought to herself. She must have sold all the items by now. Let’s go back to settle the bill.

“Thank you all! Well then, I’ll see you again tomorrow…!”

“Wait, Saintess!”

“Saintess, wait a moment!”

“Saintess!”

But suddenly, the miners called out to her. Rosé looked at them with a puzzled expression.

They were holding ten sheets of the pledge in their hands like children waiting for a birthday present.

Ah. They already collected ten sheets.

‘What was it for ten sheets? Divine lips? Should I recite a prayer or something?’

As if understanding, Rosé smiled and clasped her hands together.

“The light of Aramista will shine brightly on your future! It will guide you!”

Alright, that should do it. Rosé opened her eyes from her closed position and smiled proudly. But as she turned around again,

“Wait! Miss, your lips!”

“We’ve been waiting for this day!”

“Today you must allow us your lips!”

Lips…?

― When you collect ten sheets, I will grant you my lips, and when you collect twenty sheets, you can embrace me.

Recalling what she said four days ago, Rosé scratched her earlobe. It was a metaphorical expression of divine blessings.

“Um. Miners. I meant it was not my lips but the god’s lips…”

“Are you kidding me!”

Thud! The doll that was just sold was roughly thrown to the ground. The miner who threw the doll was in the front row.

Startled, Rosé looked at his furious face and hesitantly took a step back, feeling a chill down her spine. The miners surrounded her.

“Mi-miners.”

“I don’t know about gods and sh*t, we’re talking about lips.”

After saying so, one miner grabbed Rosé’s waist as if to crush it. Too shocked to react, she opened her mouth wide, and hot breath rushed into her mouth.

“Ugh…!”

Her dry wrist was grabbed tightly in an instant. A thick tongue entered her mouth as if trying to pierce her throat. The smell of pickaxe metal, damp coal, earthy scent, and strong male sweat filled her nostrils with each breath.

“Haa… Huh…!”

“Damn… Wearing a habit and calling yourself a saint.”

The man’s rough hand squeezed her br*ast firmly. Then he pulled down her shoulder strap and displayed Rosé’s br*ast in front of his colleagues.

The miners breathed heavily as they eyed the exposed n*pple. The saintess’s n*ked br*ast was even more impressive than they had imagined.

It was unbelievable how a human body could be so tightly packed with fat.

“Get out of the way, it’s my turn next!”

Hoo…! Once again, a tongue unexpectedly entered her mouth. Slippery saliva overflowed into her throat. It was a clumsy kiss that seemed awkward due to their lack of experience with women.

“Huumh, humh, hng…!”

“Haa, f*ck, tastes so damn good.”
