## Chapter 69 – Loach and Puddle
Anyone who has ever felt what an “inevitable connection” is might understand.
The strange yet natural sense of unease that is now blooming within Yui.
I’ve often heard the joke online, “The moment you think, ‘This is the one,’ is when you should be most careful.” I only ever thought I wanted to meet someone who would make me feel that way.
In some ways, I was a particularly exhausting type of person, especially to someone.
Anyway, it’s hard to believe that someone like me would feel “this is the one,” but for some reason, it felt very plausible.
The first time I felt something similar was when I met “Her.”
Her skin was as transparent as glass, and her hair was a vivid magenta, a so-called “pink bitch” color.
Every moment of holding her, the one who first gave herself to me and taught me so much.
For me, it was a moment where I felt an inevitable connection.
But the fact that I’m starting to feel a similar emotion with Yui, is it just that I fall in love too easily?
Yui is watching Vivian and Ranier, who are sweating profusely and diligently thrusting their hips, with an unknowingly envious look on her face.
When I think about it, is it normal for an ordinary woman to see other women being held and violated by tentacles and have that kind of expression?
‘Someday, somewhere else, let’s meet again, Enic.’
Perhaps… just perhaps…
‘I’ve always been waiting, always.’
Could that possibility exist?
My mind, which suddenly recalled Her, began to grow complicated.
‘If it’s really that woman… then…
But is this how we would meet…?
If not, is she just a pervert who envies this…?’
If I recall Her appearance, which I remember vividly, Yui and “Her” don’t resemble each other at all.
Her was undoubtedly Western, like Carla and Vivian.
And Yui is, after all, Eastern, so there’s a problem with the racial aspect not matching.
Moreover, the most noticeable thing, her hair color, is completely different.
‘Thinking about it that way, something is strange.
Should I not be thinking about her appearance back then…?
Maybe her actual appearance is completely different from now…’
I’ve never met a woman with hair like Her.
The closest would be Anne, who has hair close to purple, but I’ve never felt any sign of it from Anne, who I’ve often been involved with.
And there were definitely other hypotheses.
This moment is just a fleeting time for me.
Maybe I’ll meet her in decades or hundreds of years.
If you ask if the people I meet during that time have any meaning, I might say that it might not be the case.
‘This is crazy…’
Then, the only hypothesis left is “Am I just falling in love too easily?”…
Maybe that’s it.
But why now of all times?
In the end, unable to suppress my curiosity, I immediately opened the door.
“Haa… Heuht… Kyaa!!”
As soon as the door opened, Yui screamed briefly but intensely and fell forward.
Startled by the sound, Vivian and Ranier’s gazes also turned towards her.
“Eut… Were you spying…?”
Vivian, as if remembering her own past, blushed slightly at the fact that someone was watching her through the crack in the door, just as she had done.
“What is it…? It’s that girl from earlier, right?
Vivian-nim, should I take care of her?”
‘What do you mean by “take care of” her…?’
But Vivian knew what it meant that the door was open and Yui was lying there.
Vivian began to laboriously pull out the tentacle that was burrowing into her crotch with her wriggling hand.
With her eyes closed and her lips tightly bitten, Vivian pulled the tentacle out of her vagina with a “popping” vacuum sound. She then slowly walked across the room with trembling legs.
“Eueheung… Aang…♡ Vivian-nim is so impatient~”
And Ranier, seeing this, belatedly straightened her trembling legs as if doing squats, pulling her body out from where it had been pierced by the tentacle that had grown from the floor.
In the end, as the shadows of the two women fell over Yui, who was still lying on the ground where she had fallen, she carefully raised her head.
“So, what was the young lady of Chao Xing doing here…?
Oh my? Could it be that you were spying?
You’re such a pervert? Ahahaha!!”
“Ranier, you’re embarrassing her.”
“Yes~ So, what’s your name?”
“I… I am…”
“What’s your last name? What grade are you in?”
“Yes… Yes… Well… I…”
“You have to ask one question at a time, Ranier.
I guess it’s better if we introduce ourselves first.
Vivian… de Grenot. Second year… right?”
“I’m Ranier!! Ranier de Verderang!! I’m a freshman!!”
As the bubbly Ranier reached out her hand to help Yui up, Yui, who had been listening to the two women’s introductions, got up unsteadily and looked at them with a surprised expression.
“W-Wait a minute…!! Verderang and Grenot…!!
Could you be… the ones who went missing a while ago…?
The academy is looking for you…!!”
“Hmm… I guess so…?
I’m sorry to Mom and Dad… Hehet…”
“More importantly, who are you? Who is it?”
“Yui… Kazunomiya… I’m a freshman…”
“A freshman…”
“But… how did you two get here…”
Perhaps sensing something abnormal, Yui asked cautiously. Vivian then told her the story from her perspective.
Vivian thought she had given the most appropriate answer she could, but it didn’t seem that way to Yui, who was starting to come to her senses and think realistically.
Yui, looking at Vivian stroking one of my tentacles with an incredulous expression, asked in a trembling voice.
“Then… shouldn’t you be trying to escape somehow…?
Why are you… still here…?”
“Well… there are reasons for that, I guess?
I’m here with Vivian-nim.
This place is… better than outside… Woohut…”
“Th-This is definitely wrong…
There’s no way it’s better…!!
I have to get out of here…!! Otherwise, Carla will…!
How do you appease this monster…?”
“Come to think of it, did you say Kazunomiya?”
In the atmosphere that suddenly turned cold at Vivian’s question, a subtle tension began to flow between the two women.
“Y-Yes…?”
“That Kazunomiya? From ‘Chao Nan’?”
Yui’s face turned pale at the question. Only Ranier, who had wanted to stay away from studying, had a look full of questions, which wasn’t easy to deal with.
In the end, Ranier, who heard the explanation from Vivian, widened her eyes and looked at Yui with a welcoming gaze, as if she had met a comrade.
“Ah…!! So you’ve done it too?
How was it? Didn’t it feel good?”
“No… It didn’t feel good at all…!!
I lost my precious sister that day…!!
Just a fleeting moment of pleasure…
Would you… trade it for your precious sister…?”
“Hiek!!”
Unlike Ranier, who was happy to see her, Yui shouted at Ranier in a fierce voice, as if having a seizure.
Ranier was startled and quickly hid behind Vivian.
“I have to get out of here. I don’t want to lose anything more…!!
You know how to get out, right…? Please…!!
Please let me out… Carla… my friend is alone…!!
Carla might be harmed by this thing…!! Please!!”
Vivian quietly watched Yui’s desperate cry, which seemed almost pathetic.
“There’s no way out.”
‘If I had a reason to get out, would I have acted like that…?’
“And… looking at the state you’re in, that’s not a very credible story.”
But as Vivian turned around and walked away, saying a word in a firm voice, Yui’s face was filled with despair.
In the lair, only the rustling sound of Yui belatedly and urgently closing her honey-dripping crotch and tidying up her clothes with a pale expression could be heard.
And only Ranier, who didn’t know the reason why Vivian was telling such a lie, just followed her with a questioning look.
‘Now… it’s not someone else’s problem anymore…’
The nuance of what Yui was saying was strong, as if asking how she could happily live while mixing her body with such a being.
If she was a victim of “that incident” that happened in Chao Nan, it might be natural in a way, but as for herself who was listening to it, she didn’t want to think that way.
There isn’t a variety of food like outside, but there’s a nutritious meal like sweet honey.
A lovely and tireless tentacle that always gives you happy pleasure.
And the consideration that allows you to rest whenever you feel tired, and even takes you for walks, and in some ways, the trust that treats you like a really close person.
In a way, it’s a life no different from a pet being raised by this unknown being, but for Vivian herself, this life was more precious than anything else.
So, if she let her out with those thoughts, the possibility of this hideout being exposed would only increase.
‘I will never… let you out…
No… you too… with us…
Wait a minute… Chao Nan…?’
The guilt about herself, who was unknowingly starting to have scary thoughts.
A slight disappointment in herself for trying to justify it, and a calm self-defense that it couldn’t be helped.
“Chao Nan… monster incident…”
In the meantime, Vivian’s expression gradually hardened as she recalled a memory.
“E..nic…?”
