Hypnotic Bonds
Watching Zadin’s eyes grow increasingly hazy and unfocused, Elisha laid him down on the bed and climbed atop him to continue her work. “After all, we’re just close friends helping each other with sexual relief. It’s fine if you like me, but I have no intention of marrying or becoming a couple. So from now on, please don’t act too intimate with me in official settings.”
“That’s…”
“Answer me properly.”
“Yes, I will.”
“Good. Well done.”
Looking down at Zadin, who answered blankly with completely loosened eyes, Elisha considered adding one more safeguard for the sake of the ever-worried Maria. “One more thing. Respect and follow Maria’s opinions more than anyone else’s. She’s the one who truly thinks and acts for Eden above all others.”
“Understood.”
While repeatedly implanting the suggestions deep into his subconscious to reinforce the mesmerism, her Parasitic Tentacle Tail continued servicing his cock on its own, drawing out semen. Descending from Zadin’s body, now lost in a dazed wet dream under the combined influence of mesmerism and vital energy, Elisha watched her tail diligently sucking and licking his shaft while absorbing the vital energy that flowed in along with the semen.
“Mmm~ It’s convenient when the tail extracts semen; the vital energy gets absorbed along with it.”
After observing for a while and noticing Zadin’s vital energy visibly diminishing, she patted the diligently feeding tail to signal it to stop. The tail hesitated with a reluctant gesture before finally releasing the cock it had been holding in its mouth. The shaft, still slick from the tail’s grip, twitched while releasing hot steam before gradually losing strength and shrinking. Though smaller now, it still boasted an impressive size. Elisha carefully wiped it clean, left the sleeping Zadin behind, and exited the room.
After altering Zadin’s perception through mesmerism, she and he maintained an appropriate distance. Regular sexual relief was now entirely handled by the Parasitic Tentacle Tail, and they no longer stayed glued together even in official settings. Kyubey expressed displeasure at this arrangement, but she didn’t force them to remain together. Meanwhile, the territory purchase in Tarykin through Ed, which they had taken on during the meeting, was finally concluded after considerable difficulties. Though it was a small strip of land located extremely far from Tarykin’s capital in the southwest, wedged narrowly between the territories of Kensers and Ryuzan, its strategic position bordering three nations made it a region Tarykin paid considerable attention to.
Still, because it had long been under the management of the Duke of Drecul’s household, the residents and administrators there were all loyal to the duke’s family. When the regional administrator contacted by Ed threatened to declare independence if the land wasn’t sold to Eden, the bold gamble paid off and the sale was finally approved. With the surrounding lands secured, Eden officially confirmed the construction of the outer walls, and groundbreaking began the very next month. The scale of the outer wall construction was enormous, requiring such massive capital that it placed a significant burden even on Eden, so most public discussion centered around the outer walls. Citizens competed fiercely for residential rights in the meticulously planned city that would rise within the outer walls, while merchants vied for commercial rights in the districts that would also be established there.
While inspecting the construction site where workers were digging foundations and securing iron frameworks, Elisha received a wireless transmission.
— Lady Elisha, a guest has arrived at Central City Hall.
— A guest? Who is it?
— A woman named Ruya from the Earth dimension.
— Ruya came? I’ll be right there.
She must have finally seen the note Elisha had left behind. But why had only Ruya come? She needed to hurry. Riding the two-wheeled vehicle she had prepared for transportation, Elisha rushed to Central City Hall and ascended to the reception room, where she finally laid eyes on Ruya’s refreshing lime-green hair after so long.
“Ruya!”
“Ah! Elisha!”
They embraced each other tightly in delight and exchanged greetings.
“It’s been so long. You’ve been well, right?”
“Yeah, I’ve been fine. You too, Elisha?”
“I’ve been well too. What about the rest of the family?”
“They’re busy with house cleaning and catching up on backlog. So I came alone.”
They sat in the chairs in the reception room and continued their conversation.
“When I returned to Earth, Korea was busy dealing with the aftermath of the war. I guess it’s fortunate that Gwangnam’s decision to leave on a request to avoid the war wasn’t wrong after all.”
“I should have waited longer if I’d known you’d come back then.”
“Right. When I got home and saw your note in the living room, you have no idea how happy I was. But knowing you’d been on Earth and left without waiting a little longer made me so disappointed.”
“At the time, we’d already stayed quite long because of the war.”
Having already spent several months there, she hadn’t considered waiting any longer. “I heard from my parents. They said you came as Eden’s representative and saved Korea when it was in crisis. Apparently, quite a few people fell for the sight of you flying through the sky with your silver hair whipping about, taking down mechanical soldiers.”
“The mechanical soldiers were my mistake, so I had to resolve it myself.”
“After your exploits on the battlefield, you even did volunteer work caring for refugees in your own requisitioned house. The good rumors are spreading everywhere.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. And that legendary Gold Dragon was Suho, right? You must have moved him after all?”
“Ah, there’s a bit of a story behind that.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
She briefly explained the events she had experienced to the curious Ruya. After hearing about the various incidents that had occurred during their separation, Ruya exclaimed in admiration, “Hee~ While we were leisurely enjoying the hot springs in Purronen, you went through so much.”
“I heard it’s famous for hot springs. Is it that nice?”
“Want to see? I took pictures.”
Ruya pulled out what she called a smartphone and showed photos taken in Purronen. Lush green landscapes filled with blue light and verdant foliage, the naturally harmonious and elegant architecture blending with the environment, natural hot springs scattered throughout the grounds between buildings, and blue-skinned natives in little more than underwear were all captured alongside her family.
“Purronen seems like a truly beautiful place.”
“It’s no wonder it’s a tourist destination. Even though the dimensional gate fee isn’t cheap, there’s a reason so many people travel there.”
“Tell me about what happened in Purronen.”
“Sure. First, when we arrived…”
Ruya recounted her time in the Purronen dimension, where she had gone on a request. According to her, unlike Elisha’s eventful experiences, she had simply enjoyed herself as if on vacation, completed the request with ease, and returned. “The only memorable incident was that mixed bathing in the open-air baths is normal in Purronen.”
“Gwangnam must have loved that.”
“He pretended otherwise, but he really enjoyed taking us around while we were naked. Well, the women in our family are all quite beautiful.”
As Ruya said, Ekaterina, Charlotte, and the others were all stunning beauties, each with their own distinct style. While they were catching up on everything they had missed, a maid carefully opened the door and requested that they vacate the reception room.
“Oh dear, have we been here too long?”
“I lost track of time while talking. Shall we get up now?”
“Let’s. By the way, I’d really like to wash up…”
“Then let’s go wash right away.”
Descending from the surface city hall to a special bath in the underground city, they dismissed the maids who had followed them and entered alone to undress. While Elisha struggled to remove the dairy cow undergarments—comfortable to wear but difficult to take off—Ruya, already fully undressed, narrowed her eyes at Elisha’s body and asked, “That tail isn’t attached externally, is it? It’s connected to your anus, right?”
“Yes, it’s a Parasitic Tentacle Tail that lives in symbiosis with me.”
“It really does look like a snake tail.”
With each light slap of Ruya’s palm against the tail’s body, a crisp sound echoed through the bath. The tail, which had been behaving quietly, reacted to the inexplicable strikes by coiling around her hand and climbing upward.
“Whoa! It really is like a snake!”
“It only looks that way. It’s not actually a snake. Or is it? Now that I think about it, it does seem similar…”
Its low body temperature giving off a cold aura, its snake-scale-like skin, its heat-sensitive and muscular body, its ability to hunt and lay eggs—aside from its parasitic nature and tentacle-filled interior, it was remarkably similar to a snake. As Elisha searched through the monster hunter encyclopedia on the internet to see if any snake-type monsters resembled it, Ruya’s voice rang out.
“Ah, wait! Nothing’s coming out!”
Before she knew it, the Parasitic Tentacle Tail had opened its mouth and was sucking on Ruya’s breast. Having once tasted Elisha’s milk and developed a liking for it, the tail occasionally treated it as a snack, and now it was behaving the same way, as if playing around.
“Tsk, that won’t do. Stop it.”
When Elisha grabbed the tail and pulled it away, it squirmed, released Ruya, and immediately latched onto Elisha’s breast, vigorously sucking her nipple. Seeing this, Ruya wiped the sticky slime from her chest with her hand and said, “Ugh… It’s sticky. Why did you teach it such a weird habit? You startled me.”
“It thinks of breast milk as a snack. Let’s go in first.”
Supporting the tail that was still sucking on her breast with her hand, Elisha stepped into the bath. Ruya followed behind her and asked, “Breast milk? Are you pregnant?”
“Hmm… It’s similar to being pregnant, but more accurately, I underwent the dairy cow procedure so I produce milk constantly.”
“If you’re pregnant, you’re pregnant. What do you mean by ‘similar’?”
“Want to feel my belly?”
“Huh?”
At Elisha’s invitation, Ruya placed her palm on the slightly protruding abdomen. Sensing the warm touch on its belly, the Parasitic Tentacle Tail larvae inside writhed actively. Feeling this, Ruya jerked her hand away in surprise.
“Eek! Something moved! What is that?”
“They’re the Parasitic Tentacle Tail larvae. I reproduced recently and laid eggs in my womb.”
The eggs the tail had laid after preying on her had safely hatched. Uniquely, the larvae—viviparous yet possessing mammalian characteristics—had immediately devoured their shells and the mucus layer that had secured the eggs upon hatching, then attached themselves to the uterine wall, connected umbilical cords, and began absorbing nutrients. Aside from the eggs that failed to hatch, four larvae were now growing while receiving nutrients through the womb, so Elisha had been making sure to eat regular meals lately. After hearing the explanation, Ruya spoke with great fascination.
“My goodness, such creatures exist. So when will they be born?”
“It feels like they’ll come out of the womb soon, but I’m worried about whether they’ll be able to find hosts.”
Gently stroking the tail to signal it to stop eating so she could wash, it quickly understood and detached itself, curling up obediently. After washing her lime-green hair and tying it up neatly, Ruya lathered a bath sponge and said, “By the way, that latex slime living in symbiosis in our wombs—don’t they reproduce?”
“The one that moved from my womb to yours might have been reproduction, don’t you think?”
“That doesn’t explain why it never reacted to any other woman all this time. Not even with you, right?”
Come to think of it, that was true. Though the time had been short, she had met countless women while living, yet it had never reacted to anyone except Ruya. She couldn’t ask it directly, and the only confirmed specimens were the ones inside her and Ruya’s bellies, so proper research was impossible.
“It really never has. It hasn’t laid eggs or given birth either.”
“Even that insect parasitic on the ovaries keeps producing larvae.”
“Ah, those existed too.”
Even the insects parasitic on the reproductive organs produced larvae, so why didn’t the latex slime do anything? Was it because they were nature spirits? “They’re nature spirits, after all, so maybe they’re different.”
“Hmm, I’ve been thinking. Maybe we need to induce reproduction ourselves for them to divide and reproduce.”
“But Las reproduced on its own with you, didn’t it?”
“Maybe it’s because it likes me so much? You know, like having an ideal type.”
“It’s strange for a slime to have an ideal type, but since it has intelligence, it’s plausible.”
After covering the front of her body with foam, she handed the sponge to the tail. Naturally accepting it, the tail began scrubbing her back and the rest of her rear side with foam. “Whoa, what’s that? That’s possible too?”
“The Parasitic Tentacle Tail has quite high intelligence. Once I teach it something, it usually learns and does it right away.”
That was why she had taught it various things, making life much more convenient. It could hand her documents, bring her water cups, open doors, and so on. It felt like having three hands.
“That’s surprisingly enviable. But if it’s blocking your anus like that, how do you defecate?”
“My body doesn’t excrete, so I don’t know, but generally, creatures symbiotic with the anus often feed on feces. This one probably does too.”
“Hoo…”
Upon hearing the explanation, Ruya’s eyes narrowed as she watched the tail diligently applying foam to Elisha’s back. After rinsing off and immersing herself in the thermally heated hot bath, the tail automatically extended its body outward, opened its mouth, and assumed a posture to release heat. Having bathed frequently, the tail had grown accustomed to this and now waited leisurely until the end. Observing the tail’s behavior closely, Ruya spoke casually.
“If those larvae are born, will you give me one too?”
“Why?”
“I was wondering what it would be like to live in symbiosis. It seems like it would be convenient in many ways if I became a host.”
“It is convenient, but don’t you feel any aversion?”
“I’m already in symbiosis with two, so what’s one more at this point?”
Well, that was true. “Then let’s do that. It’s perfect timing since I need hosts anyway.”
“Thanks. Haa~ The water’s warm and nice.”
With her chin resting on the edge and only her legs in the water, Ruya shivered as she spoke. From that position, her abdomen was at eye level and clearly visible, and the Yin Brand engraved on her lower abdomen was glowing not just pink but bright red.
“Ah, now that I look, your Yin Brand is so full of vital energy it’s about to burst.”
“Well, I couldn’t receive vital energy while we were apart. At first it was so overwhelming I could barely endure the sexual desire, but now it’s just manageable.”
She rubbed her lower abdomen where the Yin Brand was located. It seemed her body had adapted to the brand’s influence after being left unattended for so long.
“Then how about tasting the vital energy my slave has collected? Come here.”
“Aang, it’s been a while since I offered vital energy to my master.”
In an instant, Ruya’s face transformed into that of a slave female as she spread her legs wide, presenting her vagina that was dripping with rich vital energy. Elisha also released her transformation for the first time in a while, drawing out her succubus tail and bringing it to the slave’s vagina.
“Aht, I’ve missed my master’s tail… Please feed it to me quickly.”
“Hehe, I’ll enjoy it.”
Spreading her own vagina with her hands and shaking her hips as if urging her on, the vulgar slave’s vagina received the tail thrust deep inside.
