Chapter 39 - The Don and Assaults of the Rooters 4 (1/2)

Hermes jumped off the cliff to save the Priestess. Before she hit the water, he embraced her tightly and sacrificed his body to shield her head.

For a few seconds, the slime body armor activated its regeneration ability. Hermes opened his eyes and he noticed that the girl weren't on his side.

He searched for her whereabouts, and he found her body between two rocks. After he confirmed her location, he came out from the water first, and he took a deep breath before he submerged into it. He swam faster to take her out from the water. The unconscious young maiden was safely returned to the surface thereafter.

”Hey, hey, wake up,” he slapped her cheeks but no response.

He checked her pulse, and his face turned pale when she's not breathing. He didn't know what to do. He's frustrated, but he couldn't do anything. He wasn't ready for this moment, totally.

Not only that, he wasn't educated for any kind of first aid from his former world. The school didn't even teach him this kind of event.

He was desperate.

The young maiden saved his life by surprise. He was grateful at first for her bravery but he couldn't deny the fact, if she died, he's totally screwed forever. Stump G would punish him severely.

Despite the fact she's a pretty annoying and naive woman, he couldn't help but felt sorry. She's carefree and fair girl and right now, he couldn't hide his anger for his incapability to do anything in this situation. He's freaking useless in terms of basic medical treatment.

'If only my country taught us how to perform the first aid, I could do something about it somehow. Damn it, I'm so useless. F.u.c.k,' he slammed the rock on his side out of guilt.

He embraced her body and apologized for everything. He hoped he could correct his mistake, but no matter what, she's no longer be able to hear it.

'W, wait, there's gotta way. Right, the slime,' he thought.

”Slime, can you resurrect her? Slime, answer me. Can you do it?” he asked, gravely. ”Negative, master. The requirements for the revival process is insufficient. First, you need to upgrade the armor to level 5 to perform a necromancy and believe it or not, you could resurrect her once you reach the level 10. Second, you need at least a ten thousand sinner souls to do that. Unfortunately, you're lack of proper ingredients to do it, master. I'm so sorry for your loss,” the slime answered.

”F.u.c.k,” he grimaced.

He closed his eyes and heaved a grieving sigh. Then, he gently put her head down on the small rock and checked her pulse again.

'I need to save her or else, that son of the bitch will punish me. Oi, Venus. Please wake up, will ya!' Hermes prayed.

”Justin, right. Justin, I need your help!” he audibly called his servant.

”Goddamn it, Justin. I need you here right now!” he commanded.

The wind blew from the east and his hair danced as it followed the flow of the breeze.

”My don, I'm here,” he said, Justin the head butler of the Archnemesis clan.

”Master, oh, no,” Mambo arrived and he knelt down on the ground after he saw her current state.

”What should I do? I don't know what to do. Help me, guys. Help me,” Hermes begged, panicky.

Looking at the situation, Justin used his eyes to scan her status. He could see the flow of her mana was fading away from her body. But he wasn't worried at all.

This situation gave him a new plan to get the two v.i.r.g.i.ns together.

”My Don, there's only one way to save her,” said Justin, lips upturned.

”H, how?” asked Hermes, gravely.

Mambo noticed the butler's face turned dark. Then, he felt worried somehow when he realized he's up to something.

”Don't worry, my Don. She's still alive. The only way to save her is to perform the cardiopulmonary resuscitation,” Justin declared, smiling.

'This guy is really shipping these two together. Sir Justin is really a manipulative man. Wait, isn't this a great opportunity for her? Man, he's a great schemer!' Mambo said inside his mind, guts pose.

”Huh? What the hell is that, huh?” inquired Hermes as he tilted his head with a confused face. ”To make it simple, sir. You need to put your lips to her mouth and then perform the so-called, mouth to mouth resuscitation,” Justin answered.

”W, what? Is that for real?” Hermes, surprised, conveyed his thoughts. ”Yes, master. It's the only way to save her,” Justin nodded, hiding his smile inside his mind.

”H, how can I do that? Teach me now. We're running out of time,” Hermes insisted. ”All you have to do is to do this. Watch me closely, master. Let me show you how to handle a simple kisu- CPR,” he moved closer to the Priestess, and he put his hands on her c.h.e.s.t area. ”Press your hands on the center peak where the heart is located, then, you've got to keep pushing up and down like this. Then, you have to do the last part,” Justin elaborated properly.

He stepped away from her body and gave his master to perform it by himself.

”Why didn't you perform the CPR? If you know how to do it, then do it. Save her, Justin,” Hermes commanded. ”Negative. You should've known that there's always a requirement for that. I have limited authority to do the CPR. Not only that, she's a minor. It will not only ruin my career but her life too,” Justin explained, gravely.

”What's the big deal for that? Just f.u.c.kin' do it. There's no one would even dare to ask that. No one other than Mambo and I here. Just save her, Justin,” Hermes insisted.

Mambo gulped with cold sweat. He finally realized the butler's plan. He quickly covered his mouth to hide his smile.

'I see it now. I will help you, Sir Justin,' Mambo thought.

”Sir Aljen, there's a tradition in the family of the priestess. Only those who are the leader of a high-ranking organization could pull it. Not to mention, it should be performed by the same league of the priestess, same age of my master, and someone who is very closed and affectionate by her,” Mambo explained further beyond Justin's expectation.

”In short, Master Aljen is the only person who should perform the sacred CPR. It's part of the 'tradition.' And also, don't forget my status here, sir. I'm just a commoner, so she's out of my league,” Justin seconded.

”Huh?” Hermes hollered. ”Master, calm down,” Justin said, calming him down.

”I have never heard such a thing. Does it really exist in the books of Italia? Seriously, this is madness,” Hermes screeched.

'This is bad. He's getting angry. I need to take a picture at this moment. He needs to kiss her!' Justin thought.

'We need to hurry up. Master will seriously meet the God of Creation if he doesn't perform the CPR right now. He needs to do it now,' Mambo said, biting his lips.

”Master, you need to hurry up. It's now or ever, master,” Justin stressed.

”Sir Aljen, we're running out of time. Save her now. Kisu- CPR now,” Mambo begged.

Hermes went into deep thinking as he closed his eyes.

If she died, he would fail his mission that the newspaper stated earlier in its content. Then, he would suffer a heavy price that one day should kill him someday.

Not only that, once she's gone, then there's no way for him to make good terms with the church. He won't be able to diminish the bad reputation of his name in the village. Moreover, the church won't be able to save his life from the villager's rage once his disguise got busted out.

He wanted to save her life, but there's an important thing he needed to sacrifice. It's none other than his, 'My first kiss is this? How pathetic,' he cried inside his mind.

”F, fine, I'll do it. Mambo, turn around. I will remove my mask. If you want to see your master again, turn around now,” Hermes ordered. ”Roger, sir,” Mambo agreed, following his command immediately.

Justin covered his smile after he saw the young Don did the exact thing. He watched him perform the basic and then, he held his breath as he slowly pulled out his hidden camera from his c.h.e.s.t pocket.

”Shit, wake up. Please,” Hermes begged, pushing up and down her c.h.e.s.t. Then, he performed a mouth to mouth. He's doing it nonstop by repeating the same method, vice versa.

”Sir Justin, you're really good at this part, huh,” Mambo whispered. ”Oh, ho. For the greater good. I will do everything to see the next generation of our clan,” Justin giggled, taking a picture whenever his master kissed the girl.

”Mambo, crap. I forgot to teach my master the French kiss. Man, this is bad. She's waking up,” Justin grumbled. ”Sir Justin, I'm starting to question your sanity in this situation,” Mambo worried.

”I hope this is her first kiss,” Justin prayed. ”She's still a teenager, though. I guarantee that this is definitely her first kiss,” Mambo gurgled with laughter.

”Yes,” Justin exulted, guts pose.

”How about your boss?” asked Mambo. ”Unfortunately, my master is no longer a v.i.r.g.i.n in this kind of situation. This will be his second,” Justin answered.

”What? Man, he's a player, huh. But I will keep it a secret to my master. I don't want to ruin their relationship because of that,” Mambo sighed. ”Right, good idea. Just shut your mouth. This moment is the first commemorative event of the year. Man, I can't believe I witness this personally,” Justin simpered.

”Wake up, shit. Please wake up,” Hermes begged, kissing her twice before he pushed her c.h.e.s.t again.

Finally, Venus showed signs of consciousness and her fingers started to move. She coughed out the water before she woke up. Then, she got surprised when a handsome man appeared in front of her. She blinked her eyes several times before she said something.

”W-Who are you, sir?” she asked, anxiously. ”It's me, you naive girl. Holy shit, it works,” Hermes exulted as he embraced her.

The priestess blushed at first, but since she couldn't identify Hermes because of his face, she slapped him before she pushed him away.

”I, I, I don't know who you are. But, I'm not a bitch. I won't dare to betray my love. P, please get away from me,” Venus begged as she covered her c.h.e.s.t with her hands.

”Why the hell did you do that, woman? What was that all about?” Hermes complained. ”Hiiie, please don't hurt me. P, please, I know I'm cute and beautiful. You're a fine man and a healthy handsome man, so I know you couldn't resist it,” Venus shivered.
