Underground prison.
Separated by a single passageway, the two men and one woman locked in cells facing each other were each displaying entirely different reactions.
“It’ll be all right, it’ll be all right. They’re just—yeah. Fuck, they’re having some goddamn sex behind that wall.”
One of the men had crammed himself into a corner, muttering to himself nonstop.
As though imagining something in his mind and clinging to the hope of it, he desperately prayed for certain people to have survived.
“Damn it! Shut up! They’re all fucking dead!”
The man sitting on the opposite side shouted irritably.
“They planned to deceive us from the very beginning! The captain, the others—they’re all dead!”
“No! They’re not dead! They’re not! There’s no way they could be dead! We only did what they told us to do! We only did what they told us!”
“They were just playing with us, you fucking idiot! We were all destined to die from the start. You, me, and that bitch over there, too!”
The man pointed at Maria, who was crouched on the other side of the bars.
“Because of that bitch, we’re all going to die! Damn it!”
“...You only survived because of my pussy.”
Despite the man’s rough voice, Maria taunted him openly, clearly intending for him to hear.
“What?”
“You survived by shoving your dick into the pussy of the woman embedded in the wall.”
“What the fuck did you just say?!”
“Are you really in a position to get that angry? I think you’re mistaken about something.”
Maria lifted her head, her face gloomy.
“A woman only needs a pussy to survive. Didn’t you know?”
“You, you...!”
“At least I seem more likely to survive than you lot. Don’t you think so, you bald rapist?”
“You fucking bitch!”
“W-wait!”
The man who had been huddled in the corner hurriedly clung to the bars.
“We can’t fight among ourselves! If the instructor finds out for no reason, there’ll be hell to pay! Let’s stay calm and prepare for tomorrow...!”
“Prepare for what tomorrow?”
Maria sneered.
“So you can survive another day by using my pussy like a rag? You bastards who planted your filthy seed in the pussy of the woman the captain cherished—the woman who saved his life?”
“Hey, you fucking bitch. Want me to shove it into you again tomorrow?”
The bald man gripped the bars and shouted.
“Tomorrow, I’ll ask the instructor to let me stick it in your back hole, even if I have to beg!”
“Y-you crazy bastard! Where do you think you’re going to stick it?!”
“A back pussy is still a pussy if you use it like one! What?! Haven’t you spread your legs for the captain back there, too?! Hah, looks like your back pussy is still a virgin!”
“S-shut up! Don’t insult the captain!”
“Well, well, look at the virtuous little widow. You spread your legs for the captain and even rose to the silver rank—did you two perhaps fall in love? You were the one who flirted with him despite knowing full well he had a wife.”
“Th-that was...!”
“What are you going to do now? I doubt your sister-in-law will leave you alone, even if she spares the rest of us.”
At the bald man’s words, Maria flinched and fell silent.
“Just like she smashed the captain’s head, you’ll be next.”
“D-don’t be ridiculous...! You all raped that woman for three whole days!”
“H-hii...!”
The timid-looking man immediately buried his face against the floor.
“Tch...!”
Seeing him, the bald adventurer scowled fiercely.
“Hey! Get a grip! The woman we fucked wasn’t our sister-in-law!”
“W-what...?”
“That bitch knows everything and is still lying through her teeth! The pussy we fucked wasn’t our sister-in-law! She was a succubus!”
“What did you say?!”
The timid man abruptly raised his head.
“A-a succubus...?!”
“Yeah! All three women stuck into those holes were succubi from the start! No—even if they weren’t succubi, at the very least, they weren’t our sister-in-law or that bitch!”
“R-really?”
“Yeah! I saw it! On the first day, I caught a glimpse of a tail through the curtains!”
The bald man thrust his face between the bars and shouted loudly at Maria.
“Haha! You’re fucked now, Maria! We never raped our sister-in-law!”
“Y-you...!”
“Tomorrow, I’ll fuck you like a dog! I’ll ask the instructor to let me shove my dick into both your front and back holes at the same time as him! The instructor will like that, too, won’t she?!”
“I don’t really like anal.”
“......Huh?”
Step. Step.
“Thanks for the information. I kept my mouth shut even though I knew she was a succubus. Next time, I’ll have to cover them with something other than curtains.”
Along with the sound of footsteps—
“But.”
“I-Instructor...!”
The instructor appeared.
“You only realized it when you were that close? Doesn’t that mean you ended up fucking Zentia after all?”
“Th-that’s...!”
“Ah, there’s no need for a long explanation.”
Clink.
“Let’s just kill all three human wastes.”
At the sight of the vampire in a black dress who had appeared dragging a mace along the floor, the three men and women widened their eyes.
“Sister-in-law...?”
“A vampire...?”
Clatter.
Zentia, now a vampire, immediately opened the cell door where Maria was being held.
“W-wait a moment! Instructor!!”
Maria instantly clung to the bars.
“I-I’m good at sex! Instructor—no, Master, I’ll serve you! Please, spare me! Please?! I’ll pleasure you even more than this woman!”
“......Why do you always have to phrase things in the most fucked-up way possible?”
“Pardon...?”
“If someone heard you, they’d think Zentia spread her legs for me and survived like this.”
“Uh...”
The strength drained from Maria’s hands as she gripped the bars.
“Do all women look that way to a woman who survived by spreading her legs for a man?”
“...You’re saying exactly what I was going to say.”
At Zentia’s toneless voice, Maria’s legs gave out.
“W-wait! Sister, this is all a misunderstanding...! I-I’m really innocent! C-Captain Kite threatened me! He said he’d rape me and kill me if I didn’t stay by his side...!”
“Liar...”
Zentia’s face twisted.
“This fucking bitch is still lying to the very end?”
“N-no! It’s true! I swear it on the goddess!”
“.......”
Zentia raised the mace, but flinched at the word “goddess.”
“...Really?”
“Yes! It’s true! I-I really was raped...! He threatened me, and—hic—he kept saying that he loved me...! He said that if I told you, he’d throw me to his men and let them take turns with me...!”
“.......”
Zentia slowly lowered the mace.
Her eyes trembled as they rolled from side to side. Then her head gradually turned, and her gaze settled on the instructor.
“She says that’s what happened. What should I do, Instructor?”
“You swore it before the goddess. Then we’ll have to verify it. It’s fortunate she happened to come along with me.”
Step. Step.
“W-whoa!!”
The men clung to the bars and pointed at the nun who appeared behind the instructor.
“Y-you...!”
“What did you do to our comrades?!”
“...The men who betrayed the goddess to survive?”
The priestess, Dalia, quietly clasped her hands together.
“They have been brought before Her judgment.”
“D-don’t tell me...”
“I’ll be ‘disposing’ of you soon as well, so if you keep your mouths shut and behave, I’ll send you off without pain. Because...”
The priestess Dalia crouched down in front of Maria, her eyes gleaming.
“First, we have to decide how to deal with this wicked woman who swears before the goddess and lies just to save herself somehow.”
“She’s lying?”
“Yes, that’s right. The goddess says it is a very, very red lie.”
“In that case.”
The moment Dalia and Zentia’s eyes met—
“Instructor.”
“How can we kill this woman in the most painful way possible?”
Their gazes turned toward the instructor.
“...You two.”
The instructor covered his face with one hand, looking utterly dumbfounded.
“Why do you speak so politely and courteously to each other, but turn into old-fashioned vampires whenever you talk to me?”
* * *
It wasn’t that I had any particular complaint.
It wasn’t that I found it strange for vampires to speak in voices like that. If anything, it suited them.
‘But why do they turn into demure maidens when they talk to each other?’
It was absurd.
Still, compared to women of Maria’s ilk...
“Enough. Just kill her.”
“Please! Spare me! I-I’ll be good!”
“Sure. You just need to die well.”
I pulled myself away from Maria, who kept reaching her hands through the bars and trying to grab me.
“You’d be better off dead.”
“I-I’ll become a vampire, too! So please!”
“Oh, that is somewhat tempting.”
A human struggling to become a vampire of her own accord?
“That won’t do.”
I firmly shook my head.
“If I turned a bitch like you into a vampire, it would lower the dignity of all vampires.”
“What did you say...?”
“It would lower the dignity of the Vampire Legion. Where does a common rag think it’s going, trying to wash itself clean?”
“Th-that woman is a rag, too!!”
Maria pointed at Zentia and screamed.
“Why, why can’t I do it?! What do I lack compared to her?!”
“Right. Even you think something about that sounds strange, don’t you?”
Just as Dalia had done, I stood facing Maria.
“I’m prettier, more attractive, and better at sex, so why is that abandoned married woman becoming a vampire and trying to kill me instead of me? You don’t understand why? The reason is simple.”
I reached a hand toward my own face and waved it lightly up and down.
“Your face is vicious-looking.”
“What...?”
“Your personality shows right on your face. Even if you became a vampire, you’d keep that same face. And your character would show through just as clearly. You spread your legs to survive, and then, if our legion ever fell into danger... you’d betray us.”
“N-no!! I won’t betray you!!”
“You’ve got a lot to say for yourself.”
Maria began shaking the bars wildly.
“Please, please! I can’t die like this! I-I’ll give you information! I’ll be your doormat! I’ll even keep letting you shove it into that hole! Please, spare me! Please!”
“You still don’t understand.”
I straightened up.
“There are plenty of other pussies that can go into that hole besides yours. The succubi spread theirs for you from the very first day.”
I raised the edge of my hand toward Zentia and made a slicing motion across my throat.
“I’ve thought long and hard about how to kill you. Should I have a slime eat you alive and give the slime a pussy? Or should I threaten those men over there, telling them they’ll die unless they make this woman their communal fuck toy?”
There were truly countless ways.
“But why bother?”
I stepped back, and Dalia made the sign of the cross before slipping away to my side.
“If I have to choose how you die, I have only one choice.”
I firmly shut the cell door.
“Zentia, do as you please.”
Craaaack!!
“......Oh.”
Perhaps she had regretted smashing Captain Kite’s head to death with the mace.
“As expected of a former adventurer.”
Zentia lightly kicked Maria in the face from the very beginning.
“Then...”
“P-please spare me!!”
The man spoke.
“I-I’ll tell you everything I know! Everything!”
“Hmm.”
“Yes! I’ll give you everything!”
I shook my head at the man.
“Not necessary.”
“Pardon?”
“Zentia already knows.”
“......Ah.”
“And.”
I grinned as I toyed with Dalia’s hair.
“The fact that a human has become a vampire is the highest state secret in our legion.”
“U-ugh...”
“How do you want to die?”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
Those were the man’s dying words.
