The Exorcism Ritual
Looking at it, there seem to be some rules.
1. Do not listen to the evil spirit's words.
2. The ritual must be conducted by a qualified priest.
3. Remember that it is not over until you learn the evil spirit's name.
...From rule 2 onward, doesn't this mean I can't do it??
'These guys see people as what...'
Anyway, the gallery folks are mostly perverts with weird sexual desires.
Even if a woman is tied to the bed.
The other party is a nun.
One I only met today.
Even if her true nature is a monster, I have no intention of getting aroused and attacking such a being.
From the beginning, I intended to perform the exorcism ritual seriously.
The only question was whether I, who lack the qualifications, could do it freely.
But since the opponent's true nature is a monster anyway.
I decided to proceed without concern.
'Well then..., the cross, the bible, ...oh, there's a lot of holy water.'
I took out the items from the bag Malik gave me and placed them on the table.
Thud, thud, thud.
At the sound, the nun Agnes tied to the bed turns her head.
Her eyes are covered so she can't see, but she seems to have sensed what I'm preparing with the sound.
"Hngh..., P-please stop now. Father.... This kind of thing, ...I really feel like I'm going to die."
"......"
First rule of the exorcism ritual.
— Do not be swayed by the evil spirit's words.
'Remember, Ares. ...Even if the opponent acts like a normal person, it is the evil spirit speaking.'
I nodded.
Indeed.
If I hadn't known in advance, I might have been fooled.
I picked up the cross and quietly held the manual and bible in my hands.
"Where..."
"......Huh?"
When I spoke, Agnes nun's reaction finally changed.
Probably because it wasn't the familiar priest's voice.
"W-who are you...."
She asked me in a trembling voice.
But I didn't answer.
Because you shouldn't listen to or respond to the evil spirit's words.
Instead, I read the phrase written in the manual as is and dipped my fingertips in holy water.
"Lord my God..., protect me in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit...."
"Ares...?"
"Have mercy on your servant possessed by the evil spirit..., grant me the power to protect your servant from the evil spirit."
"W-what are you doing...? Why is it you, Ares, doing this...."
"Amen."
Swish, swish.
I finished the prayer while making the sign of the cross with my hand dipped in holy water.
Honestly, I don't have faith, but I'm doing it because I'm told to.
I don't know if it will work.
But since Priest Malik told me to do it this way, I just believed and acted.
"Ares...! Stop! Why are you, who isn't even a priest, doing this!"
"Shut up, evil spirit."
I dipped my fingertips in holy water again.
And approached Agnes nun, drawing a cross on her forehead.
"In the name of the Lord, I command you. Reveal your name, evil spirit."
"Ares! Stop! This isn't something you can do lightly!"
Ignoring her, I held the cross in front of her covered eyes and spoke again.
"In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ who performed the miracles of suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension, I command you to reveal your name."
"......"
"Reveal your name."
"......"
Then at that moment.
Agnes, who had been sobbing and twisting her body telling me to stop.
Stopped moving.
"......"
"Ares...."
Instead.
With a different atmosphere from before, she spoke to me.
Grin.
Agnes's mouth, with eyes covered, stretches into a smile.
"—Why is someone who doesn't even know his own name asking for someone else's? Ares."
"......"
The evil spirit possessing Agnes's body revealed itself.
According to the manual, since it can no longer imitate a human, we confront it head-on.
'If it doesn't reveal its name..., keep pressing until it does.'
I turned the page and continued reading the prayer.
"Lord, have mercy."
"Ares. Aren't you curious about your name? Should I tell you?"
"Save your servant Agnes."
"Stop this boring and childish act and play with me. I know everything you want to know."
"Your servant is looking for you. So that your enemy does not trample her......"
"—Aren't you curious who the person you need to find is?"
"......"
Ignoring it and reading the prayer, I suddenly closed my mouth.
And looked at Agnes, who was smiling with her eyes covered.
First rule.
Do not listen to the evil spirit's words.
But.
I couldn't easily ignore her words that mentioned something more important than this ghost story's rules.
"......You know that?"
"Of course I know. I know a lot."
"......"
"Who you're looking for..., what foolish choice you're agonizing over..., how you're foolishly chasing only the visible answer without knowing anything.... Hehe, heehee, ahahaha!"
Agnes, ...no, the evil spirit began laughing in Agnes's voice.
At that, I snapped back to my senses.
'I can't be swayed.'
I must not be controlled by the evil spirit's words.
The evil spirit cleverly mixes lies and truth to deceive humans.
And then.
Swish, swish.
Agnes twisted her tied body and spoke in a sticky tone.
"More than that..., Ares. You want to do more, don't you...?"
"......"
"How about playing something better with noona...?"
"Something better...?"
"Rape me..."
Swish.
Agnes spread her legs and began swaying her hips.
"I'm tied up. You can do whatever you want. Isn't that what you want too...?"
"......"
"Come on..., you can do whatever you want. Ares. Just like this —cover me."
Lick....
Agnes licked her lips with her tongue.
She's tempting me.
"After all, you're a sinful human, Ares. What's so difficult...?"
"......"
"Now, stop pretending to be a stupid priest..., do what you want. Noona will accept everything."
"......"
The evil spirit cleverly mixes lies and truth to deceive people.
It's trying to deceive me right now.
Probably Priest Malik's words that it's almost cornered are roughly correct.
I must not be deceived.
I have to continue the exorcism ritual.
To drive out the evil spirit, I must pressure it with the Lord's words.
"But it's true that I'm not a priest."
"......Eh?"
I grinned.
Then the evil spirit possessing Agnes stared at me blankly, the smile gone from its face.
"Wait wait wait wait waiiit━━!!!"
Fwoooosh!
Along with Agnes's scream, her waist bounced up.
Her breasts shook and her eyes, the blindfold now removed, rolled back.
Liquid gushing between her legs.
'This much..., no, just in case...'
I wiped my hands and applied more holy water like lotion.
"Haa, haa, wait...! Just a moment...! Stop, I can't take any more...! My head feels like it's breaking...!!"
When she saw me applying holy water to my hands, Agnes's pupils began to tremble.
I looked at her coldly and replied.
"Don't worry, Sister Agnes. Or should I say evil spirit? I can still do more."
"I can't...!! Please, please stop now!! My head feels weird...!!"
"You were the one tempting me earlier, so why are you acting like this now? I don't understand."
"......"
At my words, Agnes's expression hardened.
And a moment later.
Agnes forced a smile and spoke again in a tempting voice.
"D-don't do that..., you're not having fun either now, right? Right?"
"No, I'm having a great time."
"No, you should feel good too...! Come on, take it out quickly. Noona will lick it for you carefully...! Doesn't that sound good? Or don't you want to put it in a hole? You can put it in as much as you want...! Come on, come on...!"
"......"
Twitch twitch.
Spreading her soaked legs, the evil spirit began tempting me.
As expected, this thing.
It's trying to induce sex.
But I have no intention of falling for it.
"Sorry, but I'm enjoying this more."
I smiled, poured plenty of holy water on one hand, and shoved it inside her clothes to rub it on her breasts.
Sizzle──.
"Kyaaaaaaa!!"
It seems the holy water is real, not fake, because the effect is good.
The evil spirit screamed, and I enjoyed the scream while kneading her breasts.
...As expected, an incredible sensation.
It's addictive, I can't stop.
"You impotent bastard!! You can't even function as a man—!! Scared?! Kyahahaha!! Coward!! A coward who can't fuck even when a woman spreads her legs━━!!"
"Yeah, I'm a coward."
I dipped my index and middle fingers in holy water.
And moved my fingers between her legs.
Then Agnes twisted her body and struggled.
"Wait!! Don't!! Stop now━!!"
"Is 'don't' from Sister Agnes? Or from the evil spirit?"
"Either way, stoppppp!!!"
I inserted my fingers and enjoyed the inner sensation.
Then Agnes's body trembled, and I kneaded her breasts with my other hand covered in holy water.
It's an enjoyable process.
I must not be deceived by the evil spirit's words.
But listening to some advice isn't bad, right?
As expected, pretending to be a priest doesn't suit me as much as this.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!"
"Water..., haa, water..."
Now the amount coming out has significantly decreased, and Agnes was only trembling.
She hung limply and quietly complained of thirst.
I approached her and opened the cap of the water bottle.
"Aah...! Water...!"
Then Agnes, looking dazed, slightly opened her mouth.
I pushed the holy water bottle into her mouth.
Gulp, gulp.
At first, Agnes drank it well.
And a moment later.
"Ugh━!! Uuuuugh!!"
She struggled in pain, trying to remove the bottle.
But unfortunately, her limbs were tied and she had no strength, so she couldn't shake me off.
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I command..."
"Uuuugh!! Gulp! Haa! What now...!! Uuuuugh!!"
"Reveal your name, evil spirit."
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
The evil spirit rejected the holy water, but Agnes's body, which had lost so much fluid, drank it as if craving it.
Then a moment later.
"Uuuuuuugh━!!!"
Agnes thrashed her body as if making a final struggle.
Then...
She went limp and lost consciousness.
"Huh? Sister? Sister?"
"......"
Slap, slap.
Don't tell me..., did she die...?
Panicked, I gently checked her pulse.
But it's beating fine.
She's breathing too.
She seems to have fainted.
And then.
Ding—, ding—, ding—.
The sound of bells announcing midnight began to be heard from outside the room.
'It's already 12 o'clock.'
I must have been so absorbed in the exorcism ritual with Agnes that I lost track of time.
Four hours passed in an instant.
Making me lose even my sense of time..., the evil spirit is indeed a terrifying existence....
"I just need to clean up and leave now, right...?"
I didn't learn the name, but seeing it lose consciousness at the end, I think I won.
Since today is the first day, this should be enough.
And I wiped the wet bed and Agnes's legs, then straightened her disheveled clothes.
"Mmm..."
"Ah, are you coming to?"
At that moment, Agnes groaned and opened her eyes.
She stared at me blankly for a moment.
"H-huh...? Who are you?"
"Yes...?"
She started saying strange things.
"What do you mean who, what's with that all of a sudden?"
"Huh? But..., uh, uh...?"
Clank, clank.
Agnes looked at her tied hands and glanced around.
Then, as if realizing something, Agnes looked at me and said.
"What day is it today? Who are you?"
"It's Ares..., I came for volunteer work today. ...Don't you remember?"
"Volunteer work..."
At the mention of volunteer work, Agnes's expression hardened.
And immediately after.
She said something shocking.
"━━Run away from here."
"......Yes?"
"The people dressed as priests...! They're not real priests!!"
At that moment.
As if not wanting to leave this conversation alone, ...a knocking sound came from the door.
Knock knock knock.
[Ares? Time's up.]
"......"
"......"
Priest Malik's voice could be heard from beyond the door.
Then Agnes lowered her voice and spoke to me again.
"Look for an opportunity in the morning and run away...! Don't trust the priests! They're demon worshippers...!"
"What...?"
"In a week...! ━━They're going to summon a demon using you and us...!! Don't trust them...!!"
"......"
Is the evil spirit lying to deceive me?
Or.
Really.
...Did Priest Malik lie to me?
In confusion, I stared blankly at Agnes.
