## Chapter 108 – The Devil’s Temptation
Her biggest secret right now.
It was that she was the ‘villain’ of the Wicked Game.
According to the game’s rules, if the villain’s identity was revealed, the person who guessed it correctly would receive a prize, and that prize was none other than ‘Retrand’s Tear.’
In terms of value, it was something commoners couldn’t even dream of in their lifetime, and even families of the rank of baron or viscount would find their financial foundations shaken by its worth.
“N-No…!! Why is this…!!”
If such a valuable item were to come into her possession for free, it would revitalize her family’s trading company, which had been seeking a chance for revival lately. She had to win the game, but…
“Then…? Why do you have this?”
The boy picked up the medal that had fallen to the floor, examined it in the light, and asked. Anne was momentarily speechless.
Because she hadn’t picked up or found anything yet, she couldn’t have imagined that something like this would be in her pocket.
“Can’t talk? Does that mean you admit it?”
“That’s… well… I just happened to pick it up…”
Was there someone who could put this in her pocket when it was clearly empty?
Charlotte, who approached her first?
Or the students from Lucas’s group who played with her closely?
More than anything, why would they put this in her pocket?
Accidentally? Or because they already knew she was the villain?
If they knew, why wouldn’t they try to win the game themselves, and instead help her?
No matter how much she thought about it with her head spinning from the alcohol, Anne couldn’t figure it out.
But as if he had no intention of waiting for her to think, the male student who picked up the medal continued to speak with a sneer.
“Well, as you can see, we have quite a few people here.
If any one of us points you out, that’ll be the result, right?
And if we look for the magic recovery potion, it’ll be somewhere…
We can find out by checking your card, right?”
“Ah… give it back…!!”
A girl who had slipped the card out of her other pocket was now waving it in front of Anne.
“Hehe!! No way!!”
Anne desperately reached out to retrieve it, but her drunken body wouldn’t move as she wanted, and she lost her balance and fell forward with a thud.
“Ugh!!”
The essence of the Wicked Game was socializing and politics.
That meant that, regardless of whether she hid her identity as the villain, it depended on whether she could align her interests with those who would help her and make them loyal to her.
Of course, the game was just a game, so even if she played politics, she couldn’t use violent means like overwhelming with numbers and power.
But having her card snatched from her pocket without any contact, as was happening now, was a different story.
In fact, if they kept quiet, no one would know whether Anne had handed it over willingly or been tricked into doing so with sweet words.
“Great, then we’ll make good use of Retrand’s Tear, okay?
I’m so glad I came this time…
We have your card, so we can find out your name…
You’re no use to us anymore, so get out.”
“Ah… ah…!!”
A body that wouldn’t move as she willed, and the reason she had lost herself to fear just a moment ago.
Even the sword she always carried had disappeared, even though she couldn’t use it here, making her shrink back.
At her powerless self, unable to do anything, Anne couldn’t help but let out a sob.
In her vision, blurred by the tears that had welled up, the faces of her family flickered before her eyes, and she began to weep.
Just as Anne was about to resist the other students who were grabbing her elbow to drag her out,
“Hey, wait a minute. Let her go.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Just let her go.”
The male student who was holding Anne let go at the intervention of a large male student who came from behind, and Anne slumped back down onto the floor, her sobs of sorrow deepening.
The male student approached her, crouched down, and stared at her silently before finally opening his mouth.
“Do you want that?”
“Hey…!! What are you going to do?
Ugh… just do whatever you want…”
The other male student, who had been fiddling with the medal, shouted in alarm at the large student’s question, but he soon cowered at the large student’s glare.
And then, Anne couldn’t help but be shocked by the shocking content of the large student’s voice as he continued to speak.
“Didn’t you hear me? Do you want it?”
“Hic… ugh…”
“I can give it to you.
I don’t care about Retrand’s Tear or whatever.”
“Sniff… r-really…?”
At that moment, Anne looked up at the large student with wide, tear-filled eyes, as if she had met a savior, and as she opened her mouth with a trembling voice, the large student looked down at Anne and nodded.
Perhaps it was because of his size, but his impression was a bit scary, but his eyes didn’t seem to hold any malice.
“What are you going to use it for?”
At the large student’s new question, Anne stammered and struggled to hold back her tears, wiping her tear-filled eyes with the back of her hand, and began to tell her story.
“Th-That… hic… our family…
runs a trading company… sniff…
and we’re having a hard time… hic…
I wanted to help… sob… so…”
“You’re a filial daughter. Ah… come to think of it…?
Are you that person? The Monehen girl?”
“Y-You know me…? Ah…”
Surprised by the large student’s words, as if he knew her, Anne inadvertently asked a question, and she ended up handing over her name on her own.
But since the situation was already irreversible, she had no choice but to cling to a sliver of hope, feeling like livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
As the large student continued to speak, the more pessimistic the content became, the darker Anne’s expression grew.
“I’m in the swordsmanship club too?
Well, there are a lot of people in the swordsmanship club.
And I’ve heard rumors.
That you’re a stupid bitch who got on the wrong side of a mad dog.
That you foolishly stood up to Grenot-senpai, and your family is suffering because of it?
I heard you’ve been completely crushed.”
At that moment, the female student who had stolen the card pondered something for a moment before clapping her hands and shouting, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Monehen? Are you Marie’s sister?”
“Huh…?”
“Marie Monehen. She’s a famous genius in the Magical Engineering Department, right?
I’m in the Magical Application Department, so I’m next door, but I’ve heard the rumors.
But she’s poor, so she works and doesn’t hang out with the other kids?
I heard she collapsed from overwork while doing odd jobs at a bar recently?
Well… if she had Retrand’s Tear, she could quit her job, right?”
“Sniff… sniff…”
As the story of her sister, which she never expected to hear here, came out, Anne found it increasingly difficult to suppress her emotions.
It seemed that all she could do now was try to hold back the sobs that were bursting out again.
“Still, I can see that you care deeply about your family.
That’s very impressive, Monehen.
I think that’s something to be admired.”
“Sniff… then…”
Hope began to fill Anne’s voice as she looked up at him, thinking ‘maybe’ at the large student’s voice, which seemed to have softened somehow after hearing about her family’s situation.
“I’ll give it to you. You can have it.”
“Hey…!! What about us…!!”
“I can make up for the money on my own.
If you’re really upset, I can divide it up according to its value.
More than that, the situation has already turned out like this.”
At the large student’s voice, which easily suppressed the other students’ dissatisfied voices, relief finally dawned on Anne’s face, and she was about to burst into tears and offer her thanks.
“I prefer having toys to those things.
But… if there’s something going, there should be something coming, right?
Don’t you think so too, Monehen?”
Her pupils began to tremble as she met his chilling gaze, looking down at her from above and scanning her up and down as she sat on the floor.
“Be my toy until the end of the social gathering.
I’ll call it even with that. It’s a more than fair deal.”
“Huh…? What does that…”
“Let’s not act like a child.
You know what I’m talking about, right?”
As the large student leaned in close to her, Anne flinched in surprise.
And as she felt him grab a handful of her purple hair and gently stroke it, she finally realized that the worst possible situation she could imagine had befallen her.
“Your useless body isn’t going to wear out.
And your precious family will be happy that you’re enduring it.
I’ll give you time to weigh your options.
Come here, Verdi.”
“Ah~ You really like new things…”
The female student who had stolen the card, Verdi, smiled wryly as the large student called her name.
As she loosened the corset strings of her dress and slowly approached him, the two faced each other and shared a passionate kiss.
As he forcefully pulled the corset strings loose and squeezed the soft, squishy flesh hidden inside, the female student called Verdi twisted her waist and let out a soft moan.
“Ugh~ Are you already showing your true colors?
I thought you could hold back a little longer…?”
“What’s the point of holding back any longer here?
The servants aren’t walking around outside anymore…
Then it’s our world.”
Before Anne could be surprised by the lewd, even decadent scene unfolding before her eyes, she began to notice the students around her taking off their clothes and trying to start the next thing.
Male students were admiring a female student who had quickly thrown off her dress and was kneeling naked on the floor, shaking her hips like a cat and showing off seductive movements, while smoking something similar to a cigarette.
And a couple was rolling around on one of the beds prepared in the room, stripping each other and sharing passionate kisses.
And even the sight of a female student hungrily sucking on the penises of three male students who were standing side by side with their pants already off.
In a room that was starkly revealing the extreme depravity that a dozen or so men and women could create, Anne, unable to find a place to rest her eyes, finally began to look down at the floor.
But because of the pain of someone grabbing her hair and lifting her head, Anne had no choice but to see the scenes before her without filtering them.
“You don’t really have a choice, do you?”
As she listened to Verdi’s coquettish voice, looking down at her while holding her hair up.
“If you just close your eyes this once…
If you just endure it for a few nights…
Everything will be resolved…”
Anne’s pupils were shaking violently, as if an earthquake had struck, as she stared at Verdi’s exposed vulva, with its sticky fluids dripping down, which was being lifted up and shown to her in graphic detail.
“You want to help your family, right?
You want to let your sister rest, right?”
Verdi grabbed Anne’s hair and pulled her close, a seductive smile playing on her lips as she whispered in her ear.
“But I’ll give you one piece of advice.
Don’t get too caught up in it.
You’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
In Anne’s heart, as she blankly stared at the scene before her, at that whisper that she couldn’t understand right now.
The joy and sorrow, as if heaven and hell had been reversed, were plunging her heart into the abyss.
Heh! Finally a human orgy~( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
