Chapter 32 – 32 – Promise
With her face half hidden in the shadows, Villena casually took out her scissors and cut off my pants and took them off.
I was very scared because I thought it would be a physical castration, but for a moment I felt relieved. The moment when the trumpet-like part of the strange mechanical device slowly approached and attached itself to my lower body.
“This research has already begun since you returned, having become suspiciously close to Eshen.”
“···?”
“It is a machine that utilizes the power of a sealed succubus to artificially induce ‘gender change’. It is a machine made just for you. Now it will suck out your masculinity.”
“What the heck… Heoooook-!”
The trumpet began to suck my energy. It’s not a pleasant way to feel like you’re being judged.
It’s not like I’m ejaculating, I don’t feel anything, but it just feels like some of my energy as a man is gradually disappearing.
If I had a mirror, I would have seen that my face had turned completely white. This is a crisis on a different level from previous crises.
Among the trials that are mentioned as ‘how much money can you endure?’, ‘Death and receiving death insurance money’ and ‘becoming a eunuch’ are often treated as the same. I also tend to agree with that opinion.
I love my sexual function. I don’t want to lose it.
“Aaaaah, damn it! Stop it!”
I sipped her coffee and leisurely admired my desperate struggle. As if it wasn’t his business.
“Anyway, on the party documents, her identity is listed as female, so will there be a problem if she changes her gender?”
“Why is there no problem? Why are you telling me I did something wrong to you!”
“There is nothing wrong?”
Villena grinned.
“A good claim must be accompanied by a good proof. Have you never touched a fellow party member?”
Villena’s finger points to Eshen.
Eshen, hanging upside down, is struggling and screaming.
“You shit! No! Taaaaan-!”
“Eshen! Can you use your strength to free it and get out?”
“There’s no way that meticulous bitch would have laid a trap that could be solved by force! Hey, Villena! Release my porter right now! I haven’t even tried it ten times yet!”
At Eshen’s desperate cries for help, Villena lowered her head darkly and whispered.
“You touched me?”
“···.”
I touched it. However, there was no intentional twisting or criminal planning.
I protested roughly along those lines. But Villena didn’t seem to be hearing. Actually, it didn’t sound that convincing to my ears either.
Anyway, it’s true that the porter came into the women’s party dressed as a woman and touched the women. That’s two people. Considering the social atmosphere, it is difficult to defend it.
“That’s strange.”
Villena ignores my pleas and taps her machine dissatisfiedly.
“You’re not absorbing energy properly, right? If this continues, natural recovery will just happen…”
Villena patted the back of her device irritably, and pulled out her little bead.
Inside the crystal ball were two succubi that had been sealed and reduced to the size of a bean.
[Oops.]
[I really enjoyed the meal.]
“···What’s going on? The succubus is full?”
Villena’s face hardened.
“It was brought in from Visserk with difficulty by a smuggler. How is this possible? She must be a succubus so ferocious that she can easily turn three or so men into women.”
That’s how it happened. You got hold of the succubus that escaped from Visserk, and you tried to use it on me.
I cast a meaningful glance at Eshen, who had experienced the incident in Visserk with me. Eshen, who seemed to understand everything, nodded as if strangely touched.
“I can’t believe the succubus gave up because she was full. You have so much energy.”
…I wasn’t looking to praise his masculinity.
“No matter how low-level a succubus they are, they are such disloyal bastards!”
[Oh, what.]
“The condition for releasing you was to absorb enough energy to turn this porter into a woman! I prepared food for them who were all dying, so how dare you have any left over?”
[Food is all about food. How can you eat it all if it is served with your legs bent?]
The small succubus in the crystal ball mutters lazily. He looks sleepy after finishing a hearty meal.
[Just as the amount of minerals each mine contains is different, men also have something called ‘mining amount.’ If the amount is large, you probably won’t be able to swallow it all in one day.]
[Where did you get such high quality essential oil? It’s hard for guys who walk and run every day to be this fresh. Thank you, Sister. I could eat this for several days.]
“A few days? I wish I had a few days! Damn it, I need to kill this guy before the party finds him!”
No. Don’t hurt me.
Villena huffed and threw the crystal ball containing the succubi somewhere in a pile of books. The squealing sound was a bit pathetic.
Villena nervously stroked her hair… She suddenly lifted her head and smiled like the crazy bitch she was.
“Thank goodness.”
And she said something that wasn’t the least bit happy.
“I know where the replacement for these lowly succubi guys is right now.”
Villena approached Eshen and picked up the pouch that Eshen had dropped on the ground.
Her Eshen’s face turned white.
“Don’t do it.”
“You’re in here, right? No, there’s no use turning away. I’ve been eavesdropping on you the whole time.”
“We came here to purify it. If something goes wrong and we are released, this place will become like Bisserk. Everyone will become a woman…!”
“That’s it.”
Villena laughed as she pulled out her crystal orb of Eshen from her pouch. The purpose of our coming to this city.
A dangerous object in which the Succubus Queen and hundreds of Succubi who follow the Queen are sealed.
“This must be the world I dream of.”
I don’t know how much energy I have, but I don’t think I can withstand the guys who stopped the adult male of Visserk.
I closed my eyes and resigned. And then a certain name came to mind.
It seemed like it was time to write one of the two wishes I had been trying to put off as long as possible.
‘Ishtar. Please-‘
“What is going on?”
Before I could pray anything in earnest, a miracle occurred.
With a low voice, the locked door to Villena’s hideout opened wide of its own accord.
Villena, startled, backed away, and Nidrogar, who was drunk and asleep, tumbled off the sofa.
…Now that I think about it, you’re the culprit, damn dragon. This means that you should not sleep comfortably.
“How did you do it? How did you unlock the triple lock?”
“It was locked very loosely.”
Villena gritted her teeth, but she and Eshen shared a look of joy as we looked at our savior.
The person who came in, holding on to the hem of her long nun’s robe with both hands, was Sister Monica.
“I would rather ask, Villena. What on earth are you doing this time?”
“Sister, I’m so happy to see you right now that I feel like crying.”
“Tan, are you okay? What on earth is happening to you?”
“You should call me Ran- No. It’s no use right now.”
I clear my voice by clearing my throat, take a deep breath, and
I screamed out loud.
“Villena is trying to make me a woman! Please help me!”
Monica’s eyes fall into Villena’s hand. But Villena giggled as if wondering what she was going to do.
“Ah, aren’t you a faithful servant of an unknown god?”
“You speak, as I often feel, as if you are dissatisfied with my faithfulness, Villena.”
“I have no complaints about faithfulness itself. It is just difficult to understand the attitude of priests who leave their fate to the whims of uncertain gods instead of certain laws.”
“Why are you like that, really. Are you a bastard?”
Villena, who flinched at Eshen’s command, pretended nothing was wrong and snapped her fingers twice.
Then the chandelier fell from the ceiling. The steel chandelier landed quietly instead of being smashed noisily. With eight legs.
“Anyway, it’s such a pity, porter. The last hope that came in a desperate moment… Was a non-combatant.”
Fuck, what is that? Is it some kind of golem?
It wasn’t just the chandelier. The bookshelf spilled out with books on her subject, and she stood up, her limbs sprouting.
Her table bounced as well, and she walked upright, swinging her fists, which were her table legs, and approaching her sister.
Living, moving furniture tried to threaten the sisters. This time Eshen roared like a tiger and tried to tear off the restraints.
“Hey, Villena! You know that if you hurt a party member, you’ll be expelled!”
“First, I’m not messing with the party members, but this house’s defense system is tampering with the trespassers. Second, I’ll just quietly escort you out of the house. As long as you don’t put up any unnecessary resistance.”
Villena shook her head and laughed, then she tried to insert the Succubus Queen’s crystal ball into the machine.
And then I hear Quinn’s fearful voice.
[Oh, oh, he is coming!]
“What?”
Just as Villena said mockingly and opened the cover of her device.
“The city of the pantheon borders the world of the divine, Villena. I don’t know if you’re interested.”
A sticky sensation hit all of us.
It’s strangely difficult to breathe. Even the parts that weren’t tied to the machine couldn’t move.
But… That feeling wasn’t that bad.
And I felt like I had experienced this feeling before.
“To put it simply, this place is no different from the gods’ playground. But how dare you in such a place…”
The sister’s eyes, which were closed and opened, were shining with a clear purple color.
“You dare touch someone who is favored by God.”
The furniture surrounding the sister was shaking and falling apart with sparks.
Weird. It seems like I’m seeing some kind of illusion.
It’s as if an indescribably gigantic being is crushing and exploding Villena’s mechanical guards with its fingers…?
– Hello, Tan Bantai. We meet again.
Bile I knelt down on her knees. Her crystal ball rolled away from her hand.
The cries and screams of the succubi inside the crystal ball can be heard. A voice as frightened as baby birds in a nest upon seeing a wildcat.
A face so beautiful that it was hard for us imperfect people to dream of it was smiling down at us.
If it weren’t for two facts, I might have confessed my love without even knowing.
First. It was too big. Second. Those huge goat horns on the forehead, stretching out in all directions, evoke instinctive fear and warn.
The moment you get too close to that being, you might burn up and disappear like a moth in front of a flame.
Ishtar, the god of lust, tore the curtain of reality and revealed herself.
– But why don’t you keep your promise?
“Yes?”
– Didn’t I tell you to eat, pounce, and reproduce??
