A Secret Operation with the Butler (5)
A Secret Operation with the Butler (5)
#
Rebecca had a lot on her mind.
She knew she was being overly sensitive, but at the same time she felt it was unavoidable.
Part of it was Niniel, who was far too nonchalant for a woman with an incurable illness. Part of it was Ariel, whose impatience made her stir up all sorts of trouble and ultimately got herself trapped. Part of it was, more than anything, her own past...
But right now, her biggest worry was the Sivter problem.
And on top of that, a unicorn. Where had he gotten a unicorn? No—unicorns existed in dungeons, so there was no reason he couldn't have acquired one. The real question was why one was here. What was he planning to do with it?
"Why is there a unicorn..."
"I dunno! The unicorn just got brought in yestherday!"
No use. She had tried to get some information out of the maid walking ahead, but the girl clearly knew nothing. Well, that figured. The maid was still practically a child. How much could she possibly know?
Yoo-jin, as though he had his own suspicions, grimaced and whispered.
"...Virgins."
"...Excuse me?"
Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. Virgins? What was he suddenly talking about?
"That pig is using the unicorn to check whether we're virgins."
"...What?"
"He's an extreme virgin fetishist. Still, I didn't think he'd go so far as to have his own maids screened by a unicorn."
Yoo-jin kept explaining. There were plenty of lunatics in the world, he said, more obsessed with a woman's first time than anything else.
Rebecca didn't want to understand, but she could. Ariel had a chastity clause in her contract, but Sivter hadn't been satisfied with just that. That was why he'd tried to sever all of Ariel's social ties. Any men around her got bought off with money or crushed through some other means.
A virgin in mind, body, and technique... a quantum-mechanical virgin... While Rebecca shuddered with disgust, Yoo-jin, his eyes dark and brooding, muttered those strange words. Then his expression abruptly turned worried.
"Anyway, this is a problem. What should we do?"
"..."
"Uh, let me just ask... you're a virgin... ahem. No experience, right?"
"...I have no experience."
It was true.
She was definitely a virgin. She had even secretly checked before coming here, just in case. But would a unicorn really be satisfied with that? Could she truly be considered pure enough to please one?
No.
Even if she herself were acceptable, what about Yoo-jin?
If Yoo-jin failed the virginity inspection, he would most likely be thrown out.
That would be a disaster.
The whole reason she had come here with him was to renew Polymorph every three hours. But if Yoo-jin were expelled from the mansion...
She would have to find him a virgin just to maintain Polymorph...!
Rebecca shuddered.
If the idea had made her feel awful, she might have endured it better. The problem was that it was the opposite. His touch carried something that changed her. It was like a kind of sweet torture...
"...Becca. Rebecca. Hey!"
"Hah!"
"Over there!"
The little maid pointed to what looked like a newly built stable, and in front of it stood a silhouette so fat that it was recognizable even from a distance.
Yoo-jin spotted the figure and whispered rapidly.
"What do we do now! Do you have a plan?"
"..."
How could she possibly have a plan? Rebecca barely managed to keep her expression neutral, but she wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. Yoo-jin saw her face and let out a deep sigh.
"When we meet him, do exactly as I say."
"...Understood."

Sivter licked his fat tongue and scrutinized them both with a sticky gaze. Was it simply that Rebecca felt excessive hostility toward him? No—Yoo-jin wore an expression of pure revulsion at his stare as well.
Unbothered, Sivter gave a greasy smile and spoke.
"Are you two the ones who want to be maids?"
"Y-yes..."
"!"
Yoo-jin jabbed Rebecca in the side. It meant hurry up and say what you prepared. Rebecca swallowed a groan and recounted the circumstances that had brought them here.
A rather worn-out story about losing their parents to some incident in the countryside, heading to the city to stay with relatives, being driven out by those relatives' harsh treatment, and then barely managing to find this place after hearing they were hiring maids.
Rebecca's stiff delivery was somehow terribly clumsy, but Sivter clearly couldn't have cared less.
He was staring down at Yoo-jin with an expression that looked like his soul was about to leave his body.
Even Rebecca had to admit Yoo-jin's appearance was the sort that could captivate.
When he had first transformed with Polymorph, he had looked passable as a boy, though his strong features made disguising him as a woman difficult.
Then he had done something, and a pretty boy so alluring you could lose yourself just by watching him had appeared. On top of that, once they had applied the right makeup, a mysteriously beautiful girl, comparable even to Rebecca's mistress, had ultimately been born.
His demeanor only worsened matters. He would occasionally stumble, as if he hadn't fully adjusted to his small body. When someone is beautiful, even the same pathetic action gets transformed into ditzy charm. That was exactly Yoo-jin's situation.
If Rebecca hadn't heard the blonde priestess wailing in the night, she might never have believed that this beautiful girl's true form was a man—the very incarnation of an incubus who had lewdly corrupted that innocent-looking priestess.
In any case, Rebecca's story ended, but Sivter said nothing. Eventually Yoo-jin, unable to endure Sivter's gaze any longer—a stare that was practically visual rape—spoke.
"W-why did you call us here...?"
Rebecca clenched her teeth. To think he could even do that childish lisp...!
"It's nothing much. I just need the two of you to follow me for a moment. Do you like horses, by any chance?"
Inside the stable he led them to was indeed a unicorn. It was a beautiful horse with pure white fur, befitting an animal whose epithet was the Sacred Beast of Chastity. But at the end of the day, it was still just a monster. How had he ever gotten the idea to bring this monster here?
Rebecca's question went unanswered. More precisely, she was no longer able to give it any thought.
Because the unicorn had begun scanning them with eyes just as sticky as Sivter's. A mere beast with such lecherous and depraved eyes. Rebecca didn't know much about animals, but she had heard that pets came to resemble their owners. Somehow Sivter had managed to acquire a unicorn exactly like himself, wherever he'd found it!
Yoo-jin had gone rigid too, so she apparently wasn't the only one who felt that way. The unicorn examined them both with a look of pure delight in its eyes, then rubbed its muzzle against Rebecca's body. As if taking in her scent...
"Ugh...!"
A few horrific moments passed, and then the unicorn began inspecting Yoo-jin.
Could horses smile? Rebecca got her answer. The unicorn smiled from ear to ear.
Rubbing its muzzle against Yoo-jin's body with pure glee.
"...Pffrrr?"
But then it suddenly faltered, as if something were off, and started examining Yoo-jin from every angle.
"Pffrr. Pfffrrr?"
Eventually, it took another whiff of Yoo-jin, and then—
"F-fem?! Femb—! Fembo! F-fem, boy!"
The unicorn let out an incomprehensible noise and began to thrash wildly.
"Femb—! Femboy! Femboy! Ugh!"
Fem... boy?
"Mmph!"
Suddenly the unicorn began to hack and cough as if something had clogged its throat.
"Wh-why is it doing that! Eeek!"
Yoo-jin fell on his backside as he scrambled backward. Rebecca reflexively moved to block the space between them, but she pulled herself to a stop just in time. He had told her not to move, no matter what happened in the stable. Was this part of his plan as well?
"N-no, why is it..."
It appeared Sivter was just as flustered by the unexpected turn of events. At that instant, a scream erupted.
"Kyaaaaaaaa!"
A high-pitched shriek tore from Yoo-jin's mouth. He was pointing at the unicorn. No—to be precise, at the enormous cock between the unicorn's legs...!
Sivter seemed equally horrified by the sight. The stupid pig had brought the creature here himself, and yet he had no idea what to do!
"S-save me!!!"
"Pfhee-hee-hee-heeng!!!!!"
The unicorn let out a monstrous cry that seemed fit to bring the stable crashing down, planted its front hooves on the fence, and began bucking its hips like mad.
"Pfheeng... hack... kerak... kek..."
Yet soon the unicorn went completely limp. Life gradually drained from its body. And on the floor, a pure-white puddle had pooled...

The little maid had guided us to the servants' quarters. Mary, was it? From the look of things, this maid was the one single-handedly managing this disaster of a mansion.
Mary told us to wait here a while, and we obediently complied. We needed to act ordinary until nightfall.
"Well? Do you think he bought it?"
"...I don't know if he bought it. But it seems certain he'll let us stay for now."
Rebecca answered with a sigh.
"It appears the man has fallen hard for you, Yoo-jin."
"Yeah..."
Even the densest person couldn't have missed that scorching stare. Fuck, now I thought I knew what it felt like to be sexually harassed through eye contact alone. Seriously, just thinking about it again gave me the creeps.
"But how did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"The... unicorn."
"...I'll... I'm tired, let's talk about it later..."
I brushed her off in an exhausted tone and flopped onto the bed. Rebecca looked curious, but whether out of consideration for me or not, she didn't press the matter any further.
What I'd done to the unicorn was simple. When it started trying to spout some weird gibberish, I clamped its mouth shut with a Invisible Hand and pumped in an extreme dose of forced pleasure.
Unicorns favor pure women.
So what kind of being would make one go beyond mere favor and actively try to mount it?
An ultra-pure being beyond purity, I supposed...
Well, word games aside, the whole point was to just wreck the situation itself.
Still, I hadn't expected the unicorn to actually die. Apparently those things perish if they lose their virginity. Then how the hell do they breed? Were unicorns the type that tried to kill their own mothers for not being virgins? The reproductive habits of monsters were baffling on so many levels.
Come to think of it, according to what Yuri said, somewhere out there were goblins that sprouted from trees, or orcs that reproduced via spores like mushrooms. Maybe unicorns bred while still in a virgin state...
-Knock, knock.
"It's me!"
While I was off in my head with those pointless thoughts, the door suddenly burst open and Mary came in. Seriously, what was the point of knocking if you were just going to barge in without permission?
I stared at her in bewilderment, but Mary paid no attention and just said her piece.
"Follow me!"
"Wh-where to?"
"The bath!"
"Huh? Why the bath..."
"New people gotta wash together! That's what the mashtur said!"
...What?
