The Summoned Person, the Priestess, and the Hunter (4)

#

"Eep...."

"Reni? Are you okay?"

"Ah... nngh..."

Reni had been reduced to a complete mess and lost consciousness entirely. The sight gave me a strange sense of déjà vu. Ah, this again. She was going to become a Blanket Slime.

I'd gone too far and completely broken her. I felt a little... no, extremely guilty. How had it come to this? And how was I supposed to bring her back this time...?

After taking a moment to reflect and collect myself, I realized the only sound in the sitting room was Reni's shallow breathing.

"Hahhh... haaah..."

"..."

Wait. What about Yuri? I'd been so absorbed in Reni that I'd forgotten her completely.

I thought I'd heard her whimpering a little earlier, but when had she gone so quiet? Was she all right?

When I looked back, Yuri was still exactly where I'd left her. Her blindfold had already come off... and her entire body was trembling. Why was she doing that?

"Yuri?"

Yuri couldn't meet my eyes; hers shook as though caught in an earthquake. Had I neglected her for too long? Surely not. Reni had passed out in record time.

"Sorry, Yuri. Did you wait long?"

“Huh? N-no. No. I-I wasn’t waiting, okay?”

She shook her head vigorously as though she truly meant it. Why was she acting like this?

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, no... well, um, that, that's..."

“Is this because of Reni? Don't worry. She'll be out of it for a while, so she won't notice even if we do it ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠beside her. Or should we move somewhere else for a bit?”

Of course, I could take Yuri into the bedroom, make her lose herself for a while, then bring her back out for the 3P. It would be a small detour, but that hardly mattered—

"No! Th-that's not it! Um, I, I was just thinking..."

Yuri cut off my train of thought, sounding frantic.

“I think... I think I'd be fine not doing it! Yeah! I don't think I have to!”

"What?"

"Th-today isn't the only day!"

What on earth was she talking about?

“A-and you've already done that much, so you must be tired, right? Let's stop and sleep now. Okay?”

This girl—why had her attitude changed so drastically?

Yuri wasn't looking at me but at something beyond me. I followed her gaze to Reni's devastated state... Ah.

So watching what I'd done to Reni had frightened her. Earlier, she'd charged at me demanding to join us and acted ready to tear my clothes off, yet now her attitude had reversed completely...

"C-can we just sleep now? Yeah? It's l-late, you know? We're both tired, right? Right? Huh?"

Her voice was still quivering, and she still couldn't look at me. She seemed more terrified right now than when she'd faced a goblin. If she couldn't even muster her usual bravado, just how scared was she?

"Hmm..."

...This was amusing. Seeing her stripped of all bravado was genuinely funny. I decided to tease her a little.

"Well... I'm tired, sure... but I'm still a man who keeps his promises."

"Whu?"

“Besides, weren't you the one saying it was unfair if only Reni and I did it? After making such a fuss, I can't simply stop now.”

"Whuhh?"

Yuri's face went pale, then she squirmed backward. But where was she going to go? She quickly ran out of room and bumped into the wall.

With her escape cut off, Yuri's face filled with fear and despair. She looked like a hostage captured by some depraved, corrupt villain.

Hmm. So that was how she was looking at me. In that case, I had better play the part.

Hoo... good. At that moment, I was an evil human from a world where wicked men had driven even Satan to extinction. The scum of the century, committing inhuman and despicable atrocities so vile that even a savior would abandon me! That was who I was.

This kind of thing is all about the performance. Method acting!

"Heh heh heh..."

Laughing sinisterly in an exaggerated theatrical voice, I approached Yuri. My clumsy performance only seemed to frighten her more. Her face went beyond pale and slowly turned purple. It was hilarious.

"D-don't come near me...!"

"You tried to rip my clothes off. Because you wanted it."

“Wh-when did I do that?!”

This shameless girl. Getting hit with a status effect shouldn't make her memory disappear. Even if her bravado was gone, her shamelessness remained.

"And didn't you ask me to do it thoroughly?"

To be precise, those were my own words. But Yuri seemed in no state to remember that.

"...I d-didn't know it would be this bad! How can you do that to a person...!"

"This is what it takes to do it thoroughly. So come here."

Yuri let out a shriek.

"I can't do that! I'll die! I'm going to die!"

What entertaining nonsense. Did she think dying from sex was that easy? If she showed even the slightest sign of trouble, I could use Recovery Sex, so that would never happen. Besides, she'd already received my buff.

...Explaining it was too much trouble. Showing her would be easier.

"You won't die. Look. Reni's alive too, see?"

I turned Reni's face so Yuri could see it clearly. Surely this would convince her.

"Ahh..."

Reni's wrecked face was smeared with tears and drool. Her eyes were completely unfocused, and her mouth couldn't stay closed, leaving her adorable little tongue sticking out slightly.

But even though she was such a mess, the corners of her mouth were lifted a little, making her look happy in her own way.

So cute and lovely.

"Yeek...!"

Yuri let out a small shriek of terror when she saw Reni's face. How could anyone find a face this cute and pretty frightening? How strange.

Still, I liked how expressive Yuri was.

Yuri's response amused me, so I gave her a little show by briefly toying with Reni's tongue. Reni's adorable little tongue tried its best to entwine with my fingers as soon as it felt them. But a moment later, as if she had no strength left, it just dropped limply.

"Ah... ahn..."

She let out a small moan as though asking for my finger back and raised one twisted hand weakly into the air. When I returned my finger to Reni's mouth, she went limp again in apparent satisfaction. She looked happy.

With my finger still in her mouth, I lightly pressed Reni's nipple. It remained hard and swollen, and her breast yielded and changed shape beneath each slow press.

"Eep..."

Reni let out another breathless little noise. The way she was nibbling on my finger meant she was still feeling it.

"Ahh... nngh... unh..."

When I lightly pinched her nipple, a stream of fluid spurted from her sex. Damn, I'd gone to all that trouble to fill her, and she was spilling it again... I needed to plug her immediately. Let's see...

"Ah... aaah...!"

I heard Yuri moaning. I had gotten too engrossed in Reni again. It was supposed to be Yuri's turn right now.

“Sorry. It's your turn now. Anyway, you understand that she isn't dead, right?”

"!!!"

Yuri's face was once again seized by terror.

Hmm. How could I put it? Seeing that expression made me want to tease her in an entirely different way from Reni. Why was her frightened face so entertaining? I had never known I possessed this side. In that case...

"Kuh ha ha ha..."

I let out another clumsy, villainous laugh and crept toward Yuri.

“No... no! I-I don't need to do it...! Don't... don't do it!”

Yuri was scooting on her rear—maybe her legs had completely given out. She'd left a long wet trail on the floor where she'd dragged herself. She sure produced a lot of those juices too...

“You say you don’t need to... but your shorts are soaked, aren’t they?”

"Ugh... th-this is...!"

Yuri looked down at her lower body and her face went bright red.

"You know it's not convincing when you say that while you look like this, right?"

"Ah... aaah..."

With nowhere left to retreat, Yuri's face finally crumpled.

"P-please... I was... I was... I was wrong... please..."

She had resorted to outright begging.

“Hmm... if you keep trying to wriggle away, should I get rough?”

"!!!"

Yuri's teeth were chattering now. When she tried to curl up, I firmly caught one foot,

"Yeek!"

and dragged her straight toward me, like a zombie hauling in the last survivor!

"Kyaaaaaah!"

I pulled her over, then let go, and she squirmed desperately, trying to get away again.

"No! No! Kyaaaaaah!"

After repeating that a couple of times, I sat down and pulled Yuri onto my lap.

Yuri squeezed her eyes shut and held her hands and legs tightly together, trembling all over. Seeing the shameless braggart reduced to this made her beautiful in an entirely different way.

"Nghh..."

She looked far too cute trembling with that usually cool expression. I kissed her lightly on the forehead to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠reassure her.

"Huhh?"

Yuri cracked one eye open and looked up at me. I smiled and released her wrists from the cuffs, and relief returned to her face.

"Y-you're not going to?"

"No? I'm going to do it?"

"Ah, no...!"

Yuri rolled over in despair and tried to flee, but her arms were still numb after being bound for so long and merely scraped uselessly at the floor. I gently pressed both shoulders down and whispered in her ear.

"If you keep acting this cute, you're going to make me want to be rough, you know?"

"Yeek!"

Yuri curled up completely like a caterpillar, hugging her knees and peeking sideways at me. She looked as though she couldn't summon the courage to face me directly. The pose and expression stirred my protective instincts, but...

I was in a slightly sadistic mood just then. I nibbled her ear and spoke in a lowered voice, as though threatening her.

“We're not doing nothing. I've held back a lot today too.”

Even to my ears, the line sounded hopelessly amateurish, but it seemed to work remarkably well on Yuri in her current state.

"Help... please save meee... M-mom... Mamaa..."

She was using formal speech and even calling for her mother?!

...That killed the mood a little. I needed to stop teasing her.

First, I needed to hold her and make her feel safe.

"Nngghaa...."

Yuri's body vibrated like a massage machine. She was trembling terribly. A ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠girl who always showed off couldn't muster even a trace of bravado, so I truly needed to stop.

I kept whispering gently into her ear.

“I'm sorry, Yuri. I teased you because seeing you frightened was funny.”

"Ngh..."

"Yuri, you were so pretty I wanted to tease you. I was wrong. Don't worry. I'll be gentle."

"B-but... th-that..."

Trembling, Yuri pointed a finger at Reni's corpse.

No! She wasn't a corpse! She was breathing perfectly well! Reni's full chest was clearly rising and falling!

Damn... she was mouthwatering no matter how often I saw her. But I needed to restrain myself and reassure Yuri. Though if Reni heard what I was about to say... hmm.

I leaned close to Yuri's ear and whispered too softly for Reni to hear.

"What you're saying is, you don't want me to do that to you?"

“I-I hate it... it's scary...”

"Don't worry. I did that to Reni because she likes getting it that way."

"Uh, huh?"

"I told you before, right? That priestess? After doing it once, she was at ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠it all day... trust me, she's more than she looks."

"..."

"You had your first time just yesterday, remember? I have no intention of doing anything you hate."

"R-really? But, I mean, I thought I could..."

How strange. She'd been so full of confidence during her first experience.

"I can't, I just can't take it... like that..."

I understood. Watching what had happened to Reni beside her had allowed fear to overwhelm her anticipation.

[Effect of 「Sarmane's Censer」: Status Effect 「Heat」 has activated.]

[Effect of 「Sarmane's Censer」: Status Effect 「Confusion」 has activated.]

[Time until status effect ends: 00:04:55]

Confusion was amplifying her fear as well. Making Reni climax so quickly so I could turn to Yuri had backfired. Anyone would have been frightened after watching Reni get overwhelmed until she passed out while still in cuffs.

I had completely failed to read the room. All because I'd been having fun playing the villain and spouting nonsense.

"I'm sorry. I should have been more considerate."

"Huuuh...."

I held Yuri until she regained her composure. Her trembling gradually subsided, but... no. We couldn't do this while she was like that.

It couldn't be helped.

"Yuri. You do whatever you want! I'll stay still! No, I'll do whatever you tell me!"

"Huh... huh?"

Only then did Yuri turn toward me. I met her gaze and offered an even more extraordinary concession.

"Want to tie up my hands?"

Letting her bind my hands would be a special service I had never even offered Reni.

Her first time had ended abruptly outdoors, and now her second was supposed to be a threesome. Surely Reni would understand... right?

If she didn't... then I'd let her tie up my whole body and have her way with me later. For some reason, that idea sounded rather appealing too.

Still, I never imagined I'd ask someone to tie me up! My offer left Yuri even more flustered.

"Ah, no, well, th-that's..."

“I'll do whatever you say! Go ahead!”

"Ngh..."

If she still refused after all that, there was nothing more I could do. In that case... We'd simply sleep.

"W-well, then..."
