Chapter Title: Two Weeks from Now

Kingdom Aslan's capital. Kina walked down the corridor of Aslan Castle, humming a little tune.
"Railey, did you see? The Hero's face earlier? Still so pretty."
"……."
Railey silently followed behind her.
"But she seems suspicious of us, doesn't she? That glare was intense. If looks could kill, my chest would've been stabbed through."
Kina wrapped her arms around her own shoulders and shivered dramatically.
As if the mere thought thrilled her, she bit her lower lip and squeezed her eyes shut.
"I just love seeing a woman who thinks she's so strong come crumbling down. Just like you did with the Demon King, Railey."
"……."
"Just imagining it made me cum a little. Hngh... I'm going crazy. It's already been a week. I don't think I can hold out much longer. What should I do?"
Murderous intent flickered in Kina's eyes.
A primal urge to destroy something danced deep in her heart.
But the Demon King's command not to cause any pointless trouble restrained her.
"I want to see the Hero pinned down beneath me, whimpering and moaning. Her expression when her invincible holy sword shatters... it'd be priceless, right?"
Kina's face flushed red.
"Heh. Haah. I'm losing my mind. I want to see that noble face twist in agony. The Demon King could do it..."
"Kina, your voice is too loud. What if someone hears?"
"Don't be so cold. I know. That's why I'm blocking the sound waves with wind magic."
"Don't do that either. Magic in the castle? Are you insane?"
"All the other Rank 6 mages are out on assignments anyway. And the Rank 5s won't even notice my magic. Thanks to the Demon King's Grace, my mana is even stealthier now."
"Just calm down. That's not what the Demon King ordered."
"I know. But I really can't hold back anymore."
It was tempting.
Railey pictured the Hero that Kina described.
A sense of revulsion she hadn't felt when she was human washed over her. It was like the feeling when she first laid eyes on the Demon King while still alive.
If the Hero were a living human with emotions, Railey might have blasted her with magic on the spot.
She struggled to suppress her killing intent.
'Strong.'
Even if she and Kina attacked together, their chances of victory were slim.
At least on par with the Demon King, or stronger.
"Does she suspect us?"
Railey nodded.
"Hng, but the king won't listen. He's too stubborn, right?"
Railey nodded again.
"Sigh, boring."
Kina let out a heavy sigh as she looked at her longtime friend, who nodded curtly without expression.
Railey had never been the affectionate type, but now it was worse.
Ever since dying and being resurrected as a new being, she only spoke the bare minimum.
If it were the old days, Kina would have pestered her endlessly, asking if she was okay. But now, Kina couldn't be bothered.
She just clicked her tongue at her boring friend.
Railey wasn't the only one broken and twisted. Kina was too.
In fact, one could argue she was even more shattered than Railey, who had changed after death.
'Demon King, I miss you so much.'
She wanted to be under that masculine Demon King, the one who choked her while fucking her, coquettishly begging for more.
It's fine. She had a substitute.
The moment they arrived at their residence in the inner castle, Kina shoved Railey against the wall.
Railey offered no resistance.
"Spread it open."
At Kina's command, Railey silently parted her lips.
The trace of the Demon King inside Railey's mouth.
Her tongue, made from his flesh.
She could feel the Demon King's presence.
The Demon King's tongue...
"I'm tasting it today too, so be good."
"Do as you like."
Railey stuck out her tongue.
Kina took it into her mouth.
"Haah... Mmm, the Demon King's tongue, so sweet..."
It was a heavenly flavor.
Every time she sucked on Railey's—no, the Demon King's—tongue, calm washed over her.
Her anxiety melted away, her mind eased.
Kina's constant chatter from her neurosis quieted down.
She wanted more.
Kina wrapped her arm around Railey's neck, deepening the kiss.
Railey's mouth was cold, but her tongue was warm.
That let Kina clearly distinguish what was the Demon King's and what was Railey's.
"Demon King... Ahh, Demon King..."
Kina pulled away, flushed and aroused. Railey gazed up at her with an expressionless face.
How could a dead corpse understand the heat of the living?
That's what Kina thought.
"I don't get it. Is it that good?"
"Didn't you feel it? When you were with the Demon King. All the worries and troubles of the world vanish. You feel this huge sense of fulfillment inside."
Railey fell silent.
"I don't really know."
"Not knowing that? You're missing out on half of life."
"I never liked this stuff to begin with."
"Oh, right. You broke after just one day."
Kina prodded at her subtly.
Deep down, resentment toward Railey still simmered in Kina's heart.
A fundamental anger and grudge that this was all Railey's fault.
But Railey didn't react.
"Sorry."
Words devoid of any emotion.
Kina clicked her tongue at Railey's response, like a golem following a programmed script.
"You'll never get it anyway. I don't need empty apologies, so just open your mouth."
"If it eases your mind."
Another deep kiss.
Kina's body heated up from kissing the Demon King's tongue.
"Hey, Railey."
"Yeah?"
"Can you lick me here with that tongue?"
Kina lifted her skirt slightly, pointing to her crotch covered by her panties.
Her face brimmed with anticipation.
Her pupils dilated, nostrils flared, breaths growing ragged.
"Haah, haah... Hurry."
"Got it."
Railey brought her tongue to it.
"Hnggh!!"
Kina's hips trembled.
Drool spilling from her mouth, she grabbed Railey's head with both hands.
"Ooooh!! D-Demon Kiiing... I love how you tease with your tongue..."
"Kina, like I said again, I'm not the Demon King..."
"Shut up and focus on licking. Hngh!!"
Kina's face twisted lewdly.
Tears, snot, and saliva streamed down.
Memories of submitting to the Demon King made her body react instinctively.
"Demon Kiiiing!!! Hngh!!!"
As Railey pleasured her, Kina kept calling for the Demon King.
At the desperate cries, Railey felt her own womb heat up unbidden.
Her soul whimpered pathetically.
A chill ran down her spine.
I should ask for it too.
It looked like she wouldn't make it through the night without relief.
With Yulia's help, I disguised myself as a human and headed to the cabin in Dibel Forest.
The village chief Alcom had sent a message saying he wanted to see me.
Even when I said I'd go alone, Frederike, Amy, and Rebecca insisted on following.
"I'll protect the Demon King!"
"Can't have those bitches like moths swarming while the girl's away."
"I don't want to be apart."
I didn't bother stopping the girls, each with their own excuses.
Surprisingly, Ariana didn't come along.
"I'll obey the Demon King's word absolutely."
Probably the effect of [Charm♡].
"S-Sir..."
Alcom, whom we found at the cabin, looked much younger than before.
The man in his sixties now appeared to be in his early forties—no, late thirties. Quite the sight.
"You've gotten a lot younger. Looks like your desires are sorted."
"Thank you. I'll never forget this grace."
"Work hard. That'll let you fulfill more desires. So, what's the issue?"
Alcom, trembling and unable to lift his head, glanced around before lowering his voice.
"Did you see the soldiers from Mir City passing through the forest a while back?"
"I did."
"They entered the dungeon, but no word yet."
"What's the problem?"
Gulp.
Alcom swallowed hard before asking me.
"So that dungeon isn't just a sex dungeon, is it?"
"Why ask me?"
"Y-You seem like an expert..."
"An expert, huh? Interesting. Why think that?"
"Not many in the world could procure something like this. A youth potion. Even A-rank adventurers couldn't find it."
It wasn't easy to obtain, true.
"But that doesn't explain why you're asking me about those soldiers."
"W-Well..."
Alcom rolled his eyes before finally speaking.
"S-Soon, more people will come from the city. It's been over two weeks since the mages and soldiers lost contact—they must sense something's off. A royal messenger already visited the village."
He licked his lips and continued.
"I thought I should warn you before I mislead them, so I boldly requested an audience."
This guy.
"You figured it out, huh?"
"……."
"An old man's got no strength left, but I've survived this long for a reason. I know who to side with to stay alive. And what happens if you flap your gums uselessly."
"Sharp instincts."
At those words, Alcom's shoulders shook.
He trembled in terror, then immediately knelt and prostrated himself before me.
"Great one! Please forgive this fool's impudent guess!"
"Enough. You've proven your usefulness, so no punishment."
With 200 soldiers coming this far, things were bound to escalate anyway.
But I needed to buy time.
If the Hero came with the regular army right away, or with adventurer guilds, it'd be trouble fighting them.
At the very least, I had to fortify the dungeon to a defensible level.
"But you need to prove your loyalty to me too, right?"
"Y-You've given new life to this old man resigned to death. That's grace enough beyond my station."
Alcom continued, still prostrated.
"Without your greatness, I'd just live out my days awaiting death again. I offer my life. Right now, if you wish."
"No need. I'm not into that."
I'd considered going to the city myself to send a message.
But a better option had presented itself.
"Tell anyone from the city this: They entered a week ago and will return in three weeks."
"……Will that work?"
"If they insist on going, don't stop them—send them back. Treat them well if they say they're waiting. I'll come personally then."
"U-Understood."
Two weeks ahead.
Plenty of time to turn the dungeon into a fortress.
Things are about to get busy.
Unlike my expectations, strong foes would come swarming.
I handed him more medicine and sent Alcom off.
He bowed even deeper, kissing the top of my foot.
A pledge of loyalty.
I responded to his oath.
"Work hard in your position, and you'll be rewarded."
He nodded and returned to the village to fulfill his duty.
"Gonna be busy."
I stood to head back.
Oh, right—I forgot to ask about this.
"Yulia."
"Yes, Demon King."
"Are you strong enough now to mix bodies with me?"
My main quest.
Sex with Yulia.
She bowed her head silently.
"……I can fully satisfy you with my breasts and mouth."
"Not much longer, then."
Tits and mouth meant penetration was next.
She bowed her head.
"Shall I?"
"No. Not until you truly want it."
Plenty of time left. Her growth was fast.
No need to rush.
If anything...
"I'll wait until you're ripest and most delicious."
Virtue lay in waiting for the fruit to ripen fully.
Disappointment flickered across Yulia's face, which had lit up with anticipation for a moment.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to please you."
"It's fine. Let's head back today. I want a bath."
"Understood."
"I'll help."
Amy and Rebecca jumped in.
"No."
The two looked genuinely disappointed.
Frederike flushed behind them, expectant.
"I'm bathing alone today. Don't get your hopes up."
Frederike wore the same expression as the other two.
I was soaking in the warm bathwater, enjoying the heat.
Slide!
The door opened, and Amy and Rebecca barged in together.
"I-I'll wash you."
"Me too."
The two who invaded the bath wore sheer, see-through dresses that clung to their skin.
