"Yawn..."
With a massive yawn, I woke up and sleepily scanned the area around my bed. Warm sunlight streamed through the window, and my pajamas lay scattered across the floor. Reassured by the familiar sight, I started to stretch out big... only to freeze in shock.
Something felt profoundly empty.
I'd assumed I'd slept in my underwear...
So why was I completely naked?
I hurriedly drew the curtains and sat on the bed, trying to piece together last night's memories. Then it hit me: Ruin, raping me over and over despite my screams of refusal. But even as I inspected every corner of the bed, there were no traces left from yesterday. The sheets were crisp and fresh, the blanket perfectly smooth without a single wrinkle. It was far too pristine for a bed where I'd supposedly been raped.
"Ugh."
And worst of all, my most intimate area... it was way too clean for having been violated.
Even just counting what I remembered, it had to have been at least five times...
No matter how I looked, I couldn't find a single drop of semen.
Which meant the obvious conclusion... it was all a dream...
"No way."
They expect me to believe that? Ruin's hard cock plunging deep inside me. That vivid memory threw my mind into chaos. Forced kisses, creampies... ugh, aaah... Just recalling the sensations made my hips twitch. But if it was all a dream, what the hell happened?! My head throbbed.
"N-no way, right?"
And if it really was just a dream...
Where did reality end and the dream begin?
As I slowly replayed yesterday's events, one moment flashed back: Ruin taking off his shirt. A doctor with surprisingly toned muscles. It had bugged me so much I'd tried to ignore it, but eventually, I let him sit beside me. And then... he started stroking my thigh, unsatisfied with that, moving inward, deeper and deeper...
"Gaaah!"
Right, that's where the dream must've started!
A little of the frustration lifted.
Ruin's unnatural obsession with me. He'd had a girlfriend, so why act like that? I'd cursed him out... wait, hold on! That makes me the weird one! I'd said no but instead of resisting, I'd made out passionately with my friend's boyfriend. Even hugging him tight... ugh, aaah! Am I insane?! I hated myself.
I felt sorry to Marsha and Lady Serphin.
Of all things, getting drunk led to this ridiculous dream...
...Huh? Drunk?
A few fruit beers got me drunk?
Yeah, thinking back, that was suspicious from the start.
There were too many odd details for simple intoxication. My racing breath, my body heating up. Seeing a guy I didn't even like and getting all tingly down there, rubbing my thighs together in secret. No matter how I spun it, it felt less like being drunk and more like...
...Wha...? In heat?!
Wait, no way—an aphrodisiac?! Did Ruin slip me one?!
In a panic, I jumped up... then deflated with a hollow laugh.
"Idiot. As if."
From the rosemary he'd gifted me to the shabu-shabu ingredients, I'd meticulously checked everything with my ability. Not that I'd suspected him outright... but better safe than sorry. Nothing had come up problematic. So at least it wasn't an aphrodisiac.
Which left only one possibility...
"Has to be that, right?"
The black mage's curse.
Yeah, I must've been hit by one.
Investigating the traces left by that black mage had been my job all day. It's easy to overlook a weird curse without realizing. Even with my all-seeing eyes... mistakes happen. Yeah, it didn't sit right, but a black mage's curse explained everything.
So in summary, last night was total nonsense.
My mind was foggy for real, but no rape happ—
-Slam
"What, you're up?"
"Wha... huh?!"
"Made some hangover stew. Come eat."
"Kyaaah!"
Ruin, strolling in wearing nothing but panties.
All my agonizing up to now made me feel like a fool.
"Pfft, hahaha! What, thought it was a dream?"
"You beast! Pervert! Trash!"
"What's with you? You enjoyed it so much yesterday."
"D-don't come near me!"
"Changed your mind overnight?"
"I said don't come closer!"
A magic tool for cleanup? That thing existed?! Ruin had humiliated me thoroughly. I'd thought it was a dream... who knew it was real! I was the idiot for relaxing. Ruin really was a perverted rapist scumbag. Today, too, he flexed his muscles as he approached. Terrified, I backed away... but damn, there was nowhere to run.
"You're not that repulsed, are you?"
"O-of course I am! You raped me!"
"Raped? I raped you?"
"Yeah, you trash!"
"Hmm... see this?"
"...Scratches?"
"Yeah, from when you clung to me."
"...Huh?"
"Nail marks. You wouldn't let go."
"L-lies..."
"Don't remember screaming how good it felt?"
"N-no?!"
"And this? Your kiss marks."
"...Whaaat?!"
"You really don't remember? You begged for kisses, crying I'd sulk if you didn't."
"......"
Am I crazy?
Am I craaaazy?!
Am I freaking insaaaane?!
This perverted trash spouting utter nonsense. But the problem was... I remembered every single detail. Me, nestled in Ruin's arms, relying on him. The more we kissed, the better it felt, so I'd begged first. Then I came when he creampied me... and scratched him in the process... aaah, you idiot!
I must've been properly cursed...
Snapping out of it filled me with shame.
"That wasn't my will..."
"What're you talking about?"
"It wasn't my will!"
"So what, you were being controlled?"
"Y-yeah! Begging for kisses, screaming how good it felt—none of it was me! So don't get the wrong idea! I'm not that easy!"
It was impossible to argue back. All I could do was throw a tantrum like this. No point explaining fully; that perverted trash wouldn't believe me anyway. Here, I had to play tough... t-tough...
"I said don't come closer?!"
"Guess I need to check if you're telling the truth."
"...What?"
"Honestly, my pride's a bit hurt."
"D-don't come... "
"Chloe. It's fine, right?"
Ruin offering his lips just like in the dream... no, the memory. No escape, so once again, I allowed his kiss. The perverted trash gently met my lips, then slipped in his sticky tongue. Instinctively, I parted my lips, turning my head to make it easier... easier... ugh, no, not my chest...
"Nooooo!"
-Slap!
"Hah, hah... I told you not to, you perv!"
"......"
"It's your fault! You forced your way in..."
"......"
"You kept pushing..."
"......"
"...Um, you mad?"
I should've pushed harder, but I hated myself for freezing again. Unthinkingly, I'd put some force into it. But... too much? Ruin's cheek burned red. And blood trickled from between his lips... oh no! He's bleeding! I didn't mean to go that far. But by the time I realized, the damage was done.
Ruin's face stiff as stone.
Wh-what do I do?
Terror made my whole body tremble.
"If you don't like it, can't be helped."
"...Huh?"
"Get dressed and come out."
But Ruin didn't get angry at me.
"Um... you okay?"
"What?"
"I mean..."
"Oh, this? Yeah. One potion and it'll heal."
"Not that... I slapped you."
"Yeah. And?"
"...Not mad?"
"Nah? You hated it, so I got hit."
"...Yeah."
"That settles it. No need to nitpick."
Totally unexpected reaction. Ruin admitting he'd deserved it. I'd braced for him to snap and pounce... but he was being super rational. Was he cursed too? This was so different from yesterday; hard to adjust.
"Why didn't you stop yesterday?"
"Huh?"
"Y-you know I said no yesterday too..."
"You serious?"
"...Huh?"
"Did you resist even once when I undressed you?"
"Th-that's..."
"Did you slap me even once during our kisses?"
"Hngh."
"Nope."
"Ugh..."
"So I figured you wanted it."
"No, I—!"
"And during sex, you hugged me tight saying it felt good. Don't remember?"
"Uuu..."
"You didn't refuse a single thing, so why complain now?"
"Kuh..."
I had nothing to say.
He'd nailed it perfectly. It was the curse, but from his perspective, easy to misunderstand. I'd stayed still even when he touched my thighs. Looking back, that's where it started. I should've yelled what the hell... instead, I'd spread my legs. He said that convinced him—no denying it.
"B-but! Touching my thighs to begin with was—"
"Can't do that?"
"Whaaat?!"
"Can't touch up a girl you like?"
"Whaaaa?! L-like?!"
"Would I sleep with someone I don't like?"
"But... still, for you—!"
"Told you. Two girls aren't enough."
"You really...!"
"Whatever. Eat before it gets cold. Hangover first."
"......"
Did he just... confess to me?
My face flushed despite myself. Flustered, I bowed my head and slurped the hangover stew he'd made. Spicy yet savory broth that reminded me of my past life—delicious. Noticed yesterday too: he was a great cook. Spoonful after spoonful, focusing on the meal, Ruin stared openly. Expecting praise? I said it was good just in case, and he shrugged with a beaming grin.
Truly... the polar opposite of yesterday.
I could see why Marsha and Lady Serphin dated this guy.
"Coffee? Tea?"
"...Coffee."
"Got it. Your usual iced one with tons of ice?"
"Yeah..."
Hangover cured, I lounged on the living room sofa, sipping the iced Americano he'd brewed, packed with cubed ice. No stick coffee here, so it must've been a hassle, but his sense was spot on. After a sip, I murmured to him softly. Couldn't keep silent forever.
"I was cursed."
"...What? Outta nowhere?"
"Cursed. Don't you think yesterday's me was weird? Way hornier than usual. Like, super proactively... uh, you know."
"And that was the curse?"
"Yeah... probably from the black mage's curse."
"Black mage?"
"Yeah, black mage."
"Oh, that's what it was? Whew..."
Ruin let out a long sigh, face full of... disappointment?
Why do I feel like I did something wrong?
But I had to say it. Couldn't let him keep misunderstanding. I suggested keeping yesterday our secret, going back to how things were. Grateful he liked me, but... ethically iffy, not ready to date, all sorts of issues. I explained carefully.
"You get it, right?"
"So... you clinging to me, begging for creampies, spreading your legs—all because of the curse?"
"Y-yeah! Curse! The black mage's fault!"
"Hard to buy it."
"What?"
But Ruin wouldn't believe me.
He set down his coffee and strode over. Panicking, I clasped my hands protectively... but couldn't stop his anger, ending up allowing another kiss. Far more intense than before, evoking last night's adult lewdness.
"Testing."
"Ngh, mmph... hngh, chu... mmph..."
"Chloe."
"Ru, Ruin... haah, churu... ngh, n... ah, nooo!"
-Slap!
But I rejected him again.
Afraid I'd accept if I let my guard down even a little.
"Ru, Ruin? Ruin! Snap out of it, Ruin!"
"......"
"Ruin! Please, come on, snap out of it!"
But... using mana like that?! His head lolled as he crumpled to the floor. I'd really messed up... aaah! Panicking, I rushed to check on him. But predictably, my ability didn't work on him. In the end, sobbing, I fetched a high-grade potion to heal him.
