I had entertained a thought like that, to some extent.
If Jentia’s breaking point had been high, and she had simply wanted to see how far things would go at least once—
Then perhaps all the men except Kite would have thrust their cocks into Maria.
And perhaps Jentia would have felt ecstasy as she watched Kite see his woman defiled again and again, watched him become frustrated and despair.
A woman patient enough to control her emotions that well would not be swinging a flail as spiritedly as Jentia was now.
Thud, thud, thuuud.
“Jentia.”
I called out to Jentia.
But she did not stop swinging the flail.
“Stop.”
In the assistant instructors’ room, an assistant instructor’s word was law.
Yet Jentia continued to swing the flail as though she could not hear me.
Should I leave her be?
There was one problem with simply doing that.
“He’s already dead.”
“.......”
Jentia’s hand, still clutching the flail, dropped limply.
Blood streamed from her palm, and her robe was splattered with it.
Her face was covered in blood.
Even a brutal killer in an adults-only movie would not have been splattered with that much blood.
And even her hand—
‘That’s her own blood.’
She had been swinging the flail without even realizing that her palm had been torn open.
I had thought the blood flowing down the flail was the blood that had burst from Kite’s head, but the blood flowing backward along the handle had come from the long, gaping wound in Jentia’s palm.
“Are you satisfied?”
“.......”
Jentia lowered her head, her face complicated.
For an instant, her gaze turned toward Maria, who was cowering tightly in on herself. But Jentia, still bleeding profusely, did not even seem to have the strength to stand properly.
“Secretary. Go wash her and let her rest.”
“Yes, Assistant Instructor.”
At Lilith’s command, the succubi immediately took care of Jentia.
Though they were human, the succubi were perceptive enough to escort Jentia to a private room with the same care they would have shown a true demon lady.
“Assistant Instructor. We can clean up that corpse with magic. Shall we deal with it right away?”
“That would be best.”
When Lilith summoned something through the magic stone, other succubi soon entered the assistant instructors’ room, pushing a large box on a cart.
Splaaat.
Slimes began leaping out of the box one by one and crawling across the floor.
Blood-sucking slimes.
To put it more bluntly, corpse cleaners.
The Blood Legion used slimes to thoroughly clean up pools of blood, scraps of flesh, corpses, and the like that had collected across the floor.
“Phew.”
That did not make the thick scent of blood or the smell of semen in the room disappear, but fortunately, the sense of smell was the easiest of the five human senses to dull.
You got used to it.
Even if the air was not exactly refreshing, we had left the door open, so the smell would soon dissipate.
In any case, if one spent enough time in an assistant instructors’ room, even if one never became accustomed to the smell of blood, one was bound to become accustomed to the traces of sex.
“Two have disappeared.”
There had been seven prisoners.
And two had died.
Five prisoners remained, but only three men had yet to undergo the “judgment.”
“Dalia?”
I called Dalia over and whispered into her ear.
“That….”
Dalia frowned deeply, but after I continued explaining, she soon gave a slight nod and stood before the entrance in the wall.
“Then, the rest.”
I turned my eyes toward Kite’s subordinates.
“We’ll continue the judgment.”
“Mmph…?”
“Next.”
“......!!”
I pointed at Maria and the third pussy.
“What are you waiting for? The pussy is empty.”
“.......”
The fourth man swallowed hard and took one step forward.
Maria’s pussy had already been filled twice with cum, but fear and terror had made it filthy in other ways as well.
That might have been someone’s preference, but it seemed this man did not share it.
“Mmph, mmph….”
The man’s footsteps headed toward the third pussy.
“Hm, is that so?”
Nod, nod.
“You truly, truly intend to rape the priestess?”
Nod, nod.
“At last—!”
I beamed at the man and clapped my hands.
“At last, someone has appeared who will make that choice! Very well, go in behind there. And behold the ‘truth.’”
I sent Dalia a look, and she opened the door leading behind the wall with an elegant motion.
Dalia grinned.
With a suggestive expression, she winked at me with one eye.
The man swallowed hard and looked Dalia up and down. Then he moved of his own accord and stepped through the doorway.
He flinched in surprise the moment he entered, but—
“Mmph!”
“There, there. Go on in~”
The succubus assigned to him followed him inside, and Dalia immediately closed the door with a faint smile.
“Again.”
Pretending it was an accident, I went over near Hole One and raised my hand.
“Aaaah!”
A heartfelt moan from the succubus inside.
At the same time, wet slapping sounds flowed through Hole One.
“Oh dear.”
I lowered the curtain again, then pointed ahead at the remaining men with the calmest expression I could manage.
“Next. What is your choice?”
“.......”
The men slowly approached the third pussy, their steps hesitant but unmistakable.
“You intend to fuck the priestess?”
I had already informed them.
To thrust into Pussy Three meant abandoning their faith in the goddess.
Nod, nod.
The men nodded vigorously.
If the succubi had not held their cocks in place with their tails, I might have witnessed an unsightly sight.
“Good. Then go inside.”
I pointed inward.
“I shall lead you into the goddess’s embrace.”
The two men followed the succubi inside.
There had been seven men.
One had departed after his cock burst and he bled to death.
Two had survived after thrusting into their superior’s pussy.
Their leader, apparently unable to endure watching that, had stepped forward and had his head smashed in.
And the remaining three had refused to choose the defiled pussy, attempting instead to choose the clean one.
“Now, two more have survived.”
“......Hehehe.”
Dalia smiled brightly as she gripped the flail.
“Goddess, three more are ascending now.”
“Wait.”
I caught Dalia as she rejoiced and made the sign of the cross.
“Is it right to send them to the goddess? They betrayed her.”
“Of course it is.”
Dalia swung the flail through the air as though I had asked something absurdly obvious.
“I shall destroy their flesh and guide their souls to the goddess. I am the guide; judgment belongs to Her.”
Dalia made the sign of the cross, then winked at me with one eye.
“As payment for betraying Her, they shall be cast directly into hell by Her judgment.”
“......You know.”
I patted Dalia on the back and opened the door for her myself.
“We’ll need to use this place again later, so don’t splatter too much blood, all right?”
“......I thought you were going to say something serious.”
Dalia chuckled and raised the flail.
“When I look at you, I really can’t call you human anymore.”
“I’m human.”
I patted Dalia’s back and pushed her behind the wall.
“I’m simply a little more human than everyone else.”
Well.
After that—
The three of them died as well.
* * *
About three hours later.
“How is Jentia?”
Lilith came to find me as I waited in the room with the wall pussies, now cleaned.
“She is waiting for the Assistant Instructor to come.”
Lilith folded both hands demurely over her lower abdomen and bowed at the waist.
“She is waiting for me?”
“Yes. There is a reason she cannot come here.”
Lilith smiled at me with an expression that seemed amused, and somehow full of mischief.
“Please follow me.”
“Ts….”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Did someone important come?”
At my words, Lilith’s body stiffened.
“She did come.”
“.......”
“My instincts are incredible, aren’t they?”
I patted Lilith’s lower back as I walked forward.
“Did the Chief Aide come?”
“Well….”
“The Vampire Princess came out in person?”
“I haven’t said anything.”
“I can read the signs.”
“How did you know?”
Lilith followed closely beside me and looked at me.
“Do you perhaps possess some sort of mind-reading ability?”
“If you want to live among humans as a porter, you have to develop a keen sense of perception. I was born with some of it, too.”
I lightly pointed my hand toward Lilith’s chest.
“You don’t have the report.”
“......!”
“If the report you’ve been constantly organizing and taking care of isn’t in your hands, whose hands would it be in?”
“Ah….”
“And this direction. That’s where we’re headed, isn’t it?”
Before Lilith could guide me, I turned toward our destination.
“The real ritual chamber.”
“........”
“But did I ever tell Jentia precisely that she would become a vampire if she fell?”
“You did not say it in those exact words.”
Lilith let out a deep sigh and stepped ahead of me.
“Master heard the report and gave Jentia a chance.”
“A chance? Master did?”
Surely not.
No.
The Vampire Princess would not—
‘Could she have disliked the way I handled things?’
I was worried.
The Vampire Princess had appeared so suddenly because—
“You have arrived.”
While I was thinking, we had already reached the altar.
“I have been waiting.”
The Vampire Princess stood before the altar in an appearance unlike her usual one.
“Uh….”
“Why do you look like that?”
“.......”
Unlike the appearance I had seen before—
“Did you come straight here after sleeping?”
She was waiting for me wearing only a thin negligee resembling a nightgown, with her hair tied up using the pen that had been clipped to Lilith’s report.
“.......”
The Vampire Princess closed her eyes for a moment.
“I felt a ‘sensation’ while sleeping, so I came here immediately.”
She answered my question without hesitation.
“A sensation?”
“Congratulations, Assistant Instructor Azazel.”
The Vampire Princess pointed ahead.
“Thanks to you, we are now able to welcome our second Fallen One.”
When the Vampire Princess moved her hand as though wiping dust away—
Fwoosh.
The transparent veil spread before the altar vanished as though the barrier had disappeared, and something within glittered.
A cocoon.
A cocoon fashioned from blood-red magical power, just like the one in which Dalia had become a vampire.
“You sent Jentia there yourself? Master?”
“She accepted it readily after only a few words.”
“What on earth did you say to her?”
“Nothing much. I merely told her that if she became a vampire, she could beat men like her husband to death as much as she pleased.”
Ah.
“Just as you told Dalia that she could kill those who had forsaken their faith, I merely said something similar to the one who is about to be reborn as a vampire.”
So that was it.
“Congratulations, Assistant Instructor Azazel. Do you have a reward you desire?”
“…If Jentia successfully falls and becomes a vampire.”
I swallowed the saliva that rose involuntarily and knelt before the Vampire Princess.
“The reward I want is….”
