27 - Chapter 24: Episode 24 [D-day 1-2 Crying]
Vulgar sounds echoed through the room.
"Slurp♥ Slurp♥ Smack♥ Ahhh Haaaah♥"
"Gasp♥ Choke♥ Pant♥ Gulp♥"
Her tongue violated my mouth.
No, it feasted.
It devoured.
Like a predator,
she gripped my head,
bound my waist to keep her prey from escaping,
and, as if pressing down with a paw,
she hugged my body tightly
and tasted me, as if tearing me apart.
"Gasp♥ Pant♥ I'm dying♥"
Shudder.
My mind went blank.
Something was wrong,
a vague, wandering thought: This isn't right.
We were supposed to be teasing each other for five days,
but reality was injecting pleasure to a horrific degree.
"Gasp♥ Pant♥ Haaaat♥"
Aria didn't touch any part of me except my mouth and its surroundings.
My dick, which felt like it would burst,
had already cum several times,
yet it stood stiffly as if it were the first time.
No, "as if it were the first time" was a contradiction.
It was starting to ache from having spewed too much.
"Please stop, st-stop, ugh♥"
"Spurt, spurt-spurt"
"Haa, Yuria, Yuria."
"Hieueuk♥"
"Ugh, pant...♥ Gasp, gasp♥ Gulp♥"
Twitching, twitching.
My lower body ceaselessly spurted seminal fluid.
White liquid, having soaked through my trousers, was visible.
While kissing me frantically,
Aria inadvertently noticed it.
Aria's eyes were fixed on my lower body, from which white liquid had emerged.
"Gulp."
Is it because she's too close?
I could even hear the sound of her swallowing.
Surely...
Her actions led to only one conclusion.
"Ugh... Heueup♥ No, Aria."
"Haa... Haa..."
Her excited breaths touched my face.
"As long as I don't touch it directly, it shouldn't matter, right?"
"Uh... uh...?"
Did she mean through my clothes?
"Aria, wait, wait!!"
"Haaaeu♥ I'll just, just taste it."
This was bad.
Her eyes seemed to have rolled back.
At this point, normal methods of persuasion were usually difficult.
No, was persuasion through conversation even possible?
"Aria, please!"
Her face was heading straight for my crotch.
"Haa haaaah♥"
I tried to push her face away with both hands, but
it wouldn't budge.
She generally had better Strength stats than me,
and with the Indomitable Will trait, I'd always managed to be evenly matched. But now?
I was no match for her at all.
Why... why had she become so strong?
I tried to forcibly push her head away, but
it didn't move.
She approached without being pushed back at all, as if my strength didn't exist.
"Ugh... ugh."
"Please, please, Aria..."
"So, it's fine as long as I don't touch it directly, right?"
"That's not it!"
"Don't worry, there won't be direct contact with your genitals."
"No, that's not it, not direct—even indirect is forbidden!"
I struggled and thrashed to escape her, but
it was useless.
Against her strong grip, 'escape' was a mere luxury.
"Haa, Yuria, it's no use trying to escape."
What should I do?
At this rate, truly,
everything I'd planned would fall apart.
"W-wait!! If you do this, you're just like Ella, you know?!"
It might sound a bit harsh, but
I needed shock therapy to bring her back to her senses.
"Ella...?"
"Yes, you keep going even when I say I hate it and tell you to stop... How's that any different from Ella?"
Now, if I just added a few tears...
"It's really too much, sob..."
"Sob."
"Waaah!"
No, I'd only intended to shed a few tears, but
a surge of emotion washed over me like a tide, and tears poured out.
"Sob... What on earth did I do wrong? I said I'm scared, I'm scared, stop it, but why won't you listen?"
"Uh... Th-that's not it."
Aria, caught off guard, looked bewildered.
I hadn't intended to cry so profusely, but
for some reason, large drops gathered on my eyelids and endlessly rolled down.
"No, that's... that's not it, I didn't mean to do this."
"I, I told you to stop, sob, sob."
"I'm sorry, Yuria, I really didn't mean to."
"If that's not it, you should've stopped, but you kept, kept..."
"I-I'm sorry, Yuria, I really must've lost myself for a moment."
"If you rape me like this, how's it any different from Ella!"
"But that's a bit... Look over there, that vulgar Ella... is, huh...?"
And so, both of us turned our gaze to Ella, who had been silent all this time,
and an unbelievable sight met our eyes.
Ella, who hadn't been like this before,
had created a puddle of female ejaculation on the floor,
and was unconscious, eyes rolled back, twitching.
"Uh... What did you do to Ella?"
"Ah, n-no, I didn't do anything. Could she have become like that from seeing us kiss?"
"She didn't even do that when she raped me?"
"Uh... um."
"Th-that..."
What the hell was wrong with Ella?
There were things I couldn't understand, but
both Aria and I were bewildered.
"Um..."
The atmosphere had already fizzled out.
"Shall we stop?"
"Y-yes."
Somehow, I managed to bring the situation to a close.
But I had lost the most important thing.
They say a man should only cry three times in his life,
but I think I'd already used up all three.
Once when I was born,
when I lost my neighbors and family, everything,
and the last time was...
because I was afraid of a woman's embrace and wanted to escape.
My mind burned.
I was ashamed.
So very ashamed.
Just thinking about it,
my limbs trembled,
and an intense shame washed over me,
to the point I wanted to smash something immediately.
"Uh, Yuria, are you okay?"
My front teeth had pierced my lip, and a metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.
"Ah, no, I was just thinking about something else for a moment."
"What were you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing."
Right, no time for shame. I needed to think about survival.
"Uh, Aria."
"Yes."
"It seems you don't fully understand the rules, so I'll explain them again. Listen carefully."
"Yes, sir!"
"Direct contact with genitals is forbidden, and you're not allowed to consume anything that comes from them."
"Yes, but..."
"If you don't follow the rules, everything will be undone."
"Ah... Yes, I understand."
Aria looked a bit disappointed, smacking her lips.
If I hadn't clearly addressed it, my seminal fluid would've been sucked for five days.
Still, if I explicitly stated it like this, there shouldn't be any major problems.
At least, I'd never seen Aria break a promise.
"Oh, and Aria, can you cast the magic you put on me last time again?"
"Ah, the magic that seals the Incubus trait?"
"Yes, I need to be able to walk around normally."
"Well, I'll be sticking by your side anyway, but I understand. No harm in having many safeguards."
She cast a Protection Formula on me, just like before.
Phew, with this, I could feel somewhat at ease walking around.
Honestly, the only one who could instantly recognize and break Aria's Protection Formula
was someone of Ella's caliber; mediocre individuals wouldn't even notice it.
"Phew, then, shall we clean up this room a bit?"
"Yes, I'll call the Maids."
"Uh, yeah, alright, please ask them to bring my clothes too."
"Yes, I understand."
Finally, the first day ended safely.
Yes, it was finally over!
After waiting in the room, I could finally leave once the maids had helped clean up the situation.
"Uh... um."
When I went outside, Cynthia and Lily, who'd been guarding the door, greeted me with slightly flushed faces.
"Uh, um... Did you resolve it well?"
"Yeah, thank you. Shall we go up then? I have something to tell everyone."
""Uh... yeah.""
And so, we went up to my room and gathered.
The Pope had naturally returned, and the remaining people in the room were my comrades, excluding Ella.
"I found out what Ella did to me."
"Uh? Really?!"
"Yeah..."
"Ella injected me with a trait called 'Corridor of Souls'."
"What?"
"Th-that..."
"That's right, as everyone expected, it's similar to the curse the Demon King cast."
"How could Ella..."
"No, perhaps it wasn't even the Demon King's curse, but something Ella did?"
"Th-that..."
I had certainly considered that possibility, but
it wasn't it.
The mana I felt when I was enveloped by the Demon King's magic circle
was completely different from Ella's pure mana, which was like a sticky, viscous swamp.
"That's probably not it, most likely."
"Alright, alright, let's stop the idle chatter and tell me, what kind of trait is that 'Corridor of Souls'?"
"Um... I don't know the details, but it seems that if one of us—me or Ella—dies, the soul moves to the living body."
"Uh?"
"Since it was said to be created by the First Witch, I think it might've been magic to aid the love between short-lived humans and witches."
"Such..."
"Wait, so if we kill Ella now, her soul goes into Yuria's body?"
"Uh, yeah, that's how it would be, right?"
My comrades suddenly started muttering something.
"Yuria and Ella in one body...? No, anything but that..."
"We can never kill Ella now, can we?"
"I agree."
"Then what should we do?"
"We need to go to Ella and find out how she engraved the trait, even if it means threatening her."
It seems they talked among themselves and reached a conclusion.
Well, the story I had to tell was over, so should I wrap things up now?
"Then, that's all I have to say. You must all be tired from taking care of me, so go back and rest."
"Uh?"
"No, we're not tired at all."
"No, that's not it, I'm a bit tired, so I want to rest."
"Even after sleeping so much?"
"Uh, um... why was I so tired?"
Was it because I'd been squeezed out so frantically?
The fatigue throughout my body was no joke.
I'd fall asleep immediately if I lay down on the bed.
"Anyway, I just want to rest comfortably."
"Uh... um, alright, if you say so, I understand."
And so, I sent my comrades away and finally succeeded in having some peaceful time to myself.
"Phew, should I take a nap?"
And so, I fell asleep without knowing what was happening among my comrades outside.
