Childbirth was inevitable.
But the fact that the childbirth would end after “one” time meant revealing everything she had done.
Revealing the truth.
It was the same as exposing who was behind the assassination while betraying the person who had ordered it.
Would she choose loyalty to the mastermind who had commissioned the assassination without revealing anything?
‘Either way, it benefits me.’
In the former case, whether the enemy was internal or external, they would be eliminated.
In the latter, at least no assassin would recklessly attempt to assassinate the trainer.
A simple either-or choice.
The decision belonged to Casey.
“Yes, yes—ah, ngh, hnnng...?!”
“Looks like you should make your choice a little sooner. I think the slime is about to reproduce by fission.”
The slime inside her belly thrashed violently.
Her abdomen swelled in an instant, just like that of a pregnant woman.
“Ah, aaah, aaaaah!!”
She must have felt the pain of her abdomen splitting open, as though her skin were tearing apart, but even that pain was transforming into pleasure. She was surely no longer in her right mind.
‘Did I make a mistake?’
What if she said she wanted to keep experiencing this pleasure?
Normally, when someone was tortured, they confessed while wishing for the pain to stop. But if the pleasure continued, she might simply remain satisfied with repeatedly climaxing.
‘Has she really become a mass-production plant for slimes?’
If that was what happened—
‘Let’s watch for now.’
The long-awaited first childbirth.
“Oh, h-hah, ah, ngh, my, my belly...!!”
Drool streamed from her mouth.
Tears pooled in her eyes and ran down her cheeks, while her limbs, stretched toward the sky, flailed wildly.
“Ah, aaah, I-I can’t, I can’t let it come out...!”
A sound like something slowly emerging from within her abdomen began to seep out.
Her pussy kept twitching, and Casey threw her head far back.
Squelch.
Her pussy spread open from side to side, and a light-pink slime pushed part of its body through.
The light-pink slime forced its way out, stretching her pussy open far wider than the size of a baseball. Its color was slightly paler than the one that had entered Casey.
“Secretary.”
“Yes, Trainer.”
“This is definitely a newly born one, right?”
“It...appears to be.”
The light-pink slime that had crawled out of her pussy precariously climbed onto Casey’s lower abdomen.
Though it had only just been born, it seemed to understand that if it simply slid off, it would tumble down. Its form was smaller than the original’s, but it looked as though it had plenty of room to grow.
“Haaah, haaah, aaah...”
Casey drew her head forward and looked at the slime.
“Can you see it? It’s a slime you gave birth to yourself.”
“Ah, ngh, nnnngh....”
“If you don’t answer, that means you’re destined to give birth only to slimes for the rest of your life.”
“N-no, ngh...!”
Did she still have enough reason left not to answer?
Or had the utterly shocking situation of having given birth to a slime briefly driven her mind away?
“Secretary. How do succubi reproduce?”
“They reproduce similarly to other races. They become pregnant and give birth.”
“What about giving birth to slimes?”
“Never happened.”
The female secretary, Lilith, answered mockingly, sneering as though ridiculing Casey.
“If this story spread, it would be rather amusing. A succubus who lives by giving birth to slimes.”
“Ah, no!!”
Casey cried out desperately.
“I-I, oh—ah?!”
Her belly writhed.
Her abdomen, which had once swelled, suddenly collapsed inward, but before several minutes had even passed, it immediately began expanding again.
“It seems a succubus’s womb is the perfect environment for slimes to divide.”
Only a few seconds had passed, yet her second spawning was already about to begin.
Strictly speaking, it was less like spawning and more like the slime inside her body reproducing asexually and releasing offspring, but—
‘Spawning play doesn’t actually involve laying eggs, does it?’
The meaning lay in drawing out something egg-sized from inside.
And although there were demons in this world that laid eggs, there had never been a case of a demon that normally gave birth experiencing spawning.
Especially not with a slime.
“Won’t you answer? Who prepared that wine? Why did you try to kill the trainer?”
“Kh, ngh, nnnngh...!”
I looked Casey over.
Her eyes twitched and darted from side to side, alternately glancing at Lilith and Natalie. Her face was flushed with shame.
“You.”
Probably.
“If you showed your comrades from the intelligence unit what you look like right now, they’d be delighted.”
“!!”
Whether it was an individual preference or not, Casey considered her current state to be deeply shameful and humiliating.
“You prepared deadly poison to assassinate the trainer, failed, and were reduced to becoming a creature that gives birth to slimes endlessly.”
“That, that’s...!”
“Now you only need to give birth to slimes for the rest of your life, until you die.”
I focused on the fact that she belonged to an intelligence unit.
She was probably the sort of person who took pride in working in the intelligence corps.
“It doesn’t matter what abilities you displayed in the intelligence unit up until now. Nor does it matter anymore who ordered you to plan the assassination or why you tried to kill me.”
I aimed my fist at her swollen belly.
“Nevertheless, if you still have any desire to do something—anything—as a member of the intelligence unit or as a spy.”
“Ah, aaah...!”
“Then you’d better answer obediently.”
Tap.
“Euhhhnngh?!!”
I lightly tapped her belly with my fist.
It was a gentle tap, like a fist bump, but the signal was enough to instill a little fear in Casey.
Right now.
Her second spawning was taking place.
Being used as a breeding ground and having slimes continue to emerge was certainly no ordinary experience, but the problem was that this experience could continue from now on.
‘Or perhaps it might end after only a few times.’
If the humiliation of spawning and giving birth to slimes made her want to stop, then stopping would be the way to train her.
“You. Are you enjoying this right now?”
“N-no...!”
“You seem extremely happy to be giving birth to slimes.”
“Nggh, ngh...!”
If she had instead discovered joy and pleasure in spawning slimes, then giving her that pleasure only to take it away was another possible method.
“I never intended to make you happy, you know.”
I picked up the wine bottle.
Everyone flinched when I suddenly picked up the bottle of poisoned wine, but I did not drink from it. Instead, I slowly tilted the mouth of the bottle.
“Ah, aaah...!!”
Unbearable fear flashed through Casey’s eyes.
As the long neck of the wine bottle slowly tilted, the liquid inside sloshing softly, Casey’s eyes trembled violently.
“Y-you, surely you’re not planning to...!”
“They say there are whores among humans who drink alcohol with their pussies.”
A lie.
Even the high-end hostesses of Gangnam wouldn’t do such a thing.
The same was true in this world, but—
‘Whether it actually exists or not isn’t important.’
What mattered was whether the threat would work right now.
“This is the drink you prepared. You’re going to take it directly through your pussy.”
“D-don’t!! If you put that in there...!!”
“Why not? If you had prepared ordinary alcohol, it would end with nothing more than alcohol.”
I lightly supported the bottle’s neck with one hand, then placed the back of that hand against her pussy and supported the bottom of the bottle with the other.
“Even if the slime dies, you’ve already given birth to two of them. And even if the alcohol enters your pussy and something melts away, it doesn’t seem like that big a problem.”
“W-what...?”
“I’ve gone this far, and you still won’t reveal who’s behind it. What meaning would there be in continuing to train you?”
Slosh, slosh.
I gently shook the bottom of the wine bottle, making the liquid inside murmur.
“Let’s just die. Yes. You remained loyal to your master until the very end. The rest will come out if I investigate.”
The moment I stealthily pressed the mouth of the bottle against her pussy—
“W-wait!!”
Casey shouted.
“Th-that is...”
“What is it?”
I continued looking at Casey without taking the mouth of the bottle away.
“Why? Are you worried about confessing to the Master who the assassin is? Are you afraid of the consequences?”
I removed the wine bottle and stood up.
“Someone whose retribution you fear that much ordered an assassination to kill the trainer?”
“U-ugh, nnnngh....”
“Hmm. If you tell me now, at least I won’t pour this inside you.”
I smiled as I faced Casey and asked,
“Speak. Who was it?”
* * *
“.......”
The Vampire Princess swallowed hard as she watched the training taking place in the training room through magic.
“.......”
There was certainly nothing wrong with the trainer’s methods.
If anything, compared to the trainers who had come before, he was remarkably lenient.
Hadn’t the previous training consisted of being struck in the face with fists, choked, or relentlessly lashed with whips?
Even when rape was involved, it had only ever been done by violently thrusting a penis inside.
The trainer had not even inserted his penis into Casey.
He had merely used a single slime—
A slime so weak that adventurers could slice it apart with ease, and whose secreted poison, unlike that of other species, was classified as “aphrodisiac.”
Yet merely by using such an aphrodisiac slime, he had caused the slime to multiply and forced Casey to spill her information.
“.......”
Her head hurt.
The fact that another legion had secretly contacted a “non-vampire soldier” of the Vampire Legion and made her act as a spy was enough to give her a headache.
And it had not even been for anything else, but to counter the “training.” It was now clear that another legion was attempting to sabotage the Vampire Legion’s grand plans.
That was important as well, but—
“......An impregnation factory.”
The Vampire Princess’s thoughts had become fixed on something else.
“Can he really turn the women he trains into factories capable of mass-producing demons...?”
Gulp.
“If that’s true....”
The Vampire Princess raised her head.
“By using far more troops than we have now....”
The ceiling.
“Ha.”
The sky beyond it.
“In the end, even summoning the power of the ancient Demon God is meant to reach that place.”
The Vampire Princess stretched a hand toward the sky and clenched it into a fist.
“My path of conquest has found its light.”
