Episode 114
Park Seoyeon is, at any rate, a woman far too different from the one I knew.
It would be fine to call her an entirely different person.
Diana opened her mouth after hearing what I said.
"This world? The way you put that is irritating. It sounds as though you're someone who came from another world."
"That's right. I came from another world."
Stia muttered as if she had realized something.
"Your background is much like that of the『Hero』."
"There's a separate hero, isn't there? Do you think that madwoman is a hero too?"
"……No. I had seen an old document about how to cross over into another world, but I didn't know it actually existed.
So both of you were transferees."
"That's why I couldn't do anything at first. I was so shocked.
She was also far too different from the way I knew her."
She was going around hacking people apart with something like an executioner's blade.
My ex-girlfriend had only grown more obsessive because of the suggestion. She hadn't originally been a mad murderous fiend.
On the contrary, she was kind and gentle—the sort of girl who had more than a thousand acquaintances, if you counted everyone she had even the slightest connection with.
In particular, she was timid enough that she couldn't refuse other people's requests and would even let herself be dragged around by them.
Memories that had been buried all this time rose up beyond my control.
Embarrassing memories I had wanted to recall as little as possible.
My shame.
"We used to be a couple. We broke up in the past as well. ……You can consider her an entirely separate person now."
"So there is a connection between that woman going mad and your ability?"
Diana pointed it out sharply.
"That's right."
I admitted it honestly.
"I thought so. At the end, it was obvious that you were hesitating to finish it. I would have been angry if you'd lied."
"……."
Yes.
The reason I couldn't kill Park Seoyeon was guilt.
We had been childhood friends, a year apart in age. When we reached an age where our minds had matured, we naturally started dating, and because I had been so interested in the female body, I did everything I could with Seoyeon's.
Even though we were young, Seoyeon trusted me and entrusted me with everything, and we even promised each other a future.
The problem was me.
I became addicted to the pleasure of easily toying with women through hypnosis, and grew tired of living while looking only at one woman.
No, hypnosis was just an excuse too.
I had always been that kind of bastard.
It was only that having hypnosis on top of being that kind of bastard made me even worse.
So, after toying with this woman and that through hypnosis, one day I heard a rumor.
A rumor that Seoyeon was dating another man.
Of course, I trembled with a sense of betrayal.
Ridiculously enough, I had embraced other women for fun, yet I couldn't stand the fact that Seoyeon had been fooling around with another man.
That was when I realized I had truly liked Seoyeon.
I also realized that I no longer had the right to remain by Park Seoyeon's side.
As I let Seoyeon go, I left her with a curse.
I left her with the curse『You will become unhappy without me』so that I could watch her become miserable and mock her, saying that it had happened because she had left me.
Of everything that happened in my life, it was the most pathetic and humiliating memory.
Several years passed after that. I never once tried to find out how she was doing.
All while trying to keep her as far from my thoughts as possible.
I blindly lusted after women.
And so, by now, I had become a fine piece of human garbage who thought that pangs of conscience were merely seasoning for pleasure.
What I had done that day.
What I had done to Seoyeon.
If I could take back all the harsh words I had spat out, I would.
It was something I sincerely, painfully regretted.
"You can tell Melbrit exactly as it is. Park Seoyeon died a long time ago. No, I killed her.
The Park Seoyeon here is merely what used to be Park Seoyeon."
"Can you really sever it that completely?"
Diana spoke with concern.
"I have to sever it."
Park Seoyeon went mad because of the suggestion.
She was a wraith with nothing left but love and obsession for me.
My suggestion had devoured the person named Park Seoyeon long ago. The timid, gentle girl she had been no longer existed.
She had returned as my very own karma.
As if a single life in the modern world wasn't enough, I met her again in this world.
Perhaps she was the only human in this entire world on whom hypnosis did not work.
My natural enemy.
"……."
Stia carefully took my hand.
As if she were trying to comfort me.
"It's all right, Dekal.
Anyone can make mistakes. If you deeply regret and reflect on them, Lady Ilesia will watch over you."
I certainly thought what I had done was wrong.
But I had no intention of offering up everything I had and dying as the price.
It would be better if no one listened to my pathetic repentance.
Snap.
I snapped my fingers.
Everyone fell into a trance.
"Stia. Will you indulge me?"
"……Indulge you…?"
"It means behaving spoiled because you know you'll be doted on."
I whispered into Stia's ear.
"I understand……."
"『Indulge me』."
"……."
And…… what would be a good auxiliary suggestion?
Simply having her indulge me was a little weak.
"Stia, you like『being forced to submit to me』."
"To Dekal. Being forced to……."
Clap.
I clapped my hands and woke everyone up.
"Let's put my story aside for now and raise a toast. The bandits are gone, and the village has been liberated. We also carried out the emergency mission splendidly, didn't we?"
Diana frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied.
"It wasn't as though it ended entirely thanks to my efforts……."
"You did well. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here right now."
Diana smiled, evidently pleased inside.
"Well, I'll let it go this time."
"Tomorrow, I want to find out where the red soulstones came from and whether there are any left."
Stia said this.
"We should.
We decided to stay for a few days, didn't we?"
I placed my hand on Stia's thigh.
Stia flinched in surprise, but she neither called out my shameless behavior nor tried to remove my hand.
"A-and…… destroying the red soulstones as well.
I was hoping you'd help, Dekal."
"Sure, I'll help."
I forcibly spread Stia's legs and slipped my hand beneath her skirt.
Stia squeezed her thighs together, trapping my hand.
I moved my fingers gently, stroking the inside of Stia's thigh.
"Ah……."
Stia let out a plaintive breath.
Her right hand gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, trembling.
I had crossed the line long ago. Not the outside of her thigh, but deep into the inside. My fingers reached as far as just shy of touching Stia's panties, kneading and caressing her leg.
At the same time, I calmly asked the other three:
"Then I'll help destroy the red soulstones.
What are the three of you going to do?"
Diana spoke first.
"Clean up. Even if they're bandits, we can't leave them as they are."
Ah, right.
The thought of seeing that horrifying scene again naturally made me depressed.
But Diana was right. Just because they were bandits didn't mean we could leave them in that state.
"Let's all go together later. It's not an amount you can handle alone."
"Don't worry. We'll take the villagers too. Aba as well."
"M-me too…? I just want to go on patrol……."
"Diana. In that case, I have a good idea. Let's put the bandits to work."
"……For once, I really like your suggestion. Good. It's amusing just thinking about it. Let's make the bandits clean up that mess.
Stia, you're fine with that too, right?"
"……."
Everyone looked at Stia.
I kneaded Stia's thigh.
"Stia. You should answer, right?"
"Ah…! Yes. Let's all go together to clean up. I'll help too."
"Why is your face so red? Don't tell me you're already drunk after just one drink?"
"I think the alcohol is starting to go to my head……. Hng."
Stia swallowed her breath.
Because I had reached my hand toward her panties.
I hooked a finger over them, pulled them aside, and caressed the damp, wet mound of her pussy.
"……No."
"What?"
"N-no. It's nothing."
"It would be best to go while it's still light, wouldn't it? We should also sort out the tools we'll need. Ah, Selene is really good at cleaning."
"Are you planning to give the maid some kind of trauma?"
"Don't underestimate our maid. She'll clear away corpses in the blink of an eye. ……Probably."
"……."
She would clean them up, I suppose.
Though Selene probably wouldn't be able to eat for a while.
"……Dekal."
Stia gripped my sleeve tightly and whispered.
"There is a limit to my patience……."
"……."
I gently rubbed Stia's clitoris up and down with my finger.
"Ah, hng…!"
At that sound, Karen realized.
What was happening to Stia's lower body.
Diana was also watching me as if she sensed something suspicious.
"……."
Was Aba the only one who hadn't noticed?
As if I didn't care if I was caught, I rubbed Stia's pussy with wet, squelching strokes.
"Oppa. Try this! It's delicious."
"Where?"
Karen leaned over this way, shielding Stia as she gave me some snacks.
As I opened my mouth to eat them, I continued tormenting Stia’s pussy.
"~~~!"
Stia tilted her head back and squeezed her legs tightly together.
I continued tormenting Stia’s pussy without pause.
Perhaps because it had been arranged to suit the “unavoidable” situation, Stia’s pussy was already wet enough to make squelching sounds.
That made it very easy to rub her clitoris as well.
Given our positions, the ones who realized I was openly caressing Stia’s pussy were Karen, sitting beside her, and
Diana, sitting directly across from me.
Neither of them tried to stop me; instead, they gave off a strange atmosphere.
Whether they realized it or not, the two of them were cooperating with me in caressing Stia.
"Stia. You look hot. I’ll help you take off your coat."
"Huh? Nn, ah, I……."
Karen deftly removed Stia’s coat.
She took it off while Stia was distracted by her pussy. Impressive.
With one less layer of clothing, Stia looked even more lewd.
With my other hand, I casually picked up some side dishes and ate them, washing them down with alcohol.
"There might be more red soulstones, so let’s not forget to search the hideout thoroughly."
"……."
"……."
"Yeah. Let’s do that."
Since Karen and Diana remained silent, Ava answered in their place.
"Once we finish cleaning up, we should patrol too……."
"~~~!"
I applied force and rubbed Stia’s slick pussy with two fingers.
"Ngh, hnn."
"We’ll take it easy and rest in this village for a few days……."
Persistently tormenting Stia’s pussy with wet, squelching sounds, I continued speaking.
"Then we’ll return to Melbritt."
"Yaaawn."
Ava covered her mouth with her hand and let out a big yawn, speaking as though she were sleepy.
"Can I go to sleep first?"
"Already?"
"I think I used too much energy today."
"Then shall we go to the next room and finish our conversation? You two don’t mind, right?"
Diana said this while pointedly ignoring the panting Stia.
"Do whatever you want."
"I’m fine with it."
"What about Stia?"
Stia had been lost in a pleasant sense of helplessness when she suddenly flinched and came to her senses.
The sight of her being frantically caressed between the legs while pretending nothing was happening above the table was extremely arousing.
"I-it’s getting late, so we should probably stop at this point……."
"Let’s stay together a little longer. Okay?"
I deliberately whispered in Stia’s ear and coaxed her.
"Nn. Hnng……. Fine. I’ll go. I said I’ll go……. Hic……."
Stia squeezed her legs together and lowered her head.
It seemed she had reached a powerful climax from the stimulation of her clitoris.
I stood up and helped Stia to her feet.
"You look tired, so I’ll support you."
"I’m not tired, it’s just……."
"You’re not?"
"……Just pretend I’m tired."
I made sure Ava got into bed, then turned off the light.
Just as she had in the dormitory, Ava curled herself into a ball and became one with the bed.
It’s lucky you’re such a sleepyhead.
It felt good that everything was falling into place so smoothly without even needing to hypnotize anyone.
"Are we going to the next room?"
Diana asked.
"No. I’ll get another key to an empty room, so wait here."
"An empty room? Why?"
"Ava might wake up if it gets too noisy."
"……I suppose so. Being considerate of someone who fell asleep first is a good thing."
"I’ll be right back."
I deliberately got another empty room some distance away from the men’s room.
We put the alcohol and food into the storage box and moved them over as they were, then the second round began.
When Stia tried to sit apart from me, I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer.
"D-Decal?"
"Where are you going?"
"Karen and Decal are close. It seemed better for the two of you to sit together."
"Weren’t you sitting between Karen and me earlier because you were keeping watch?"
"Because I trust you, Decal……."
Stia’s excuses were growing increasingly feeble.
"Don’t make things awkward. Let’s sit together, okay?"
"It’s troublesome when you beg like a child. It’s not as if we’re even dating……."
"Let’s sit together."
"……."
Stia couldn’t pull her hand away from mine and let out a resigned sigh.
"Fine."
I spread my legs, making space in front of me.
"Here, sit down."
"Are you out of your mind? I don’t mean sitting on top of each other like a man and woman. I mean sitting… beside you……."
"Karen can sit there, can’t she? Right?"
"Yeah!"
Karen demonstrated by sitting down in front of me.
I hugged Karen tightly.
"See? You should do it too, Stia."
"……D-Diana! Diana, say something too. This isn’t normal."
"Why not?"
Diana grinned and said,
"You two look good together. This much is normal, isn’t it?"
"Normal…? Sitting in front of a man?"
"It’s not much different from sitting beside him. Right?"
"Yeah~!"
I savored the softness of Karen’s body.
"……Come on, Stia. Sit down and have a drink with us. Hurry."
Karen sat beside me, and Stia, as if spellbound, carefully sat down in front of me.
She seemed uncomfortable, barely perched on the edge by using as little of the chair as possible so that our bodies wouldn’t touch.
"I knew it, this is strange…. This sort of thing!"
I pulled Stia tightly into my arms as she tried to get up.
Like I was trapping her with my arms.
"Let me go. Decal……."
"Stia. I like this too much."
I pressed my cock against Stia’s buttocks and rubbed against her, losing myself in the lewd act.
Stia froze, seemingly flustered by my perversion.
I poured alcohol into a glass and held it to Stia’s lips.
"Here, let’s drink."
"……."
Stia pressed her lips to the glass I held out and began to drink.
"Is this really normal for everyone…? Isn’t it vulgar?"
"Hmm~ This is about the same as holding hands."
Karen seemed quite sincere when she said it.
"It isn’t sex until penetration. ……You seem to like it well enough. Can’t you just indulge him a little?"
Encouraged by the two friends’ subtle advice, Stia finally relaxed her body.
I reached between her thighs and touched her defenseless pussy, while continuing to prepare drinks with my other hand and making her drink them.
"Gulp, gulp……."
"Stia. Would you like to try this too?"
As she accepted and ate the snacks Karen offered her, Stia’s wariness gradually crumbled.
Deceiving someone was this simple when three people worked together.
Moreover, in order to adjust herself to the condition of being “forced to endure it,” she was probably deceiving even herself.
Before she knew it, Stia was trapped in my arms, having her pussy toyed with.
"Swords are dangerous, so why don’t you put it down?"
"……Yeah, all right."
Stia set the rapier she had been clutching tightly down on the floor.
