« Side Story: What Happened Midway on the Journey »
Having finished your business in Wilhelm, you set out on the road to the capital with your fellow Heretic Inquisitor, Lena.
You were supposed to take a stagecoach to the nearest city, but things went awry along the way.
As you dozed off in the carriage, you were startled awake by screams and the horses' panicked whinnies.
The carriage came to an abrupt halt, and you stumbled, barely catching yourself against the wall from the jolt.
"Ow, my head..."
I groaned, clutching my skull where it had smacked against the carriage wall.
How do you even drive like that? I might have to leave a one-star review.
"What happened?!"
Lena burst out the door, shouting as she went.
"P-Please, spare me!"
I grabbed my sword and followed her out, only to see the coachman under attack from a wolf the size of a bear.
"Get off him!"
Lena yelled, swinging her blade at the beast.
The creature backed away nimbly, dodging before growling and glaring at her.
Then it lunged in a flash, claws slashing toward her.
Lena sidestepped swiftly and brought her sword down, severing the beast's neck.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
Even with its head detached, the body thrashed and writhed grotesquely, as if the parts were being controlled separately.
"Ugh..."
I couldn't bear to watch and turned away.
"Thank you, milady knight. If you hadn't come, I'd be dead for sure!"
"No need for thanks. Just stay still for a moment."
Lena placed her hand on the coachman's wounded leg.
"[Healing]."
A warm light poured from her palm, seeping into the injury.
"You know holy spells too...?"
The coachman muttered in surprise.
"You're good to go now."
"Truly, thank you. I'd love to repay you somehow, but... my carriage, my entire livelihood..."
He stared despondently at the wrecked carriage, half-smashed against a roadside boulder.
"And the horses ran off too..."
"How far is the nearest village from here?"
"Walking... maybe an hour or two."
"That's a lucky break, then."
Lena approached the beast's sprawled corpse.
It had finally stopped moving entirely, life fully ebbed away.
"This size... it was no ordinary wolf. A giant fang that's strayed from its pack? But that's odd. They're smart enough not to charge recklessly like this."
Lena knelt, examining the body closely while muttering.
Just one glance turns my stomach, but her stomach of steel...
"Is this why...?"
She seemed to spot the cause.
Following her gaze, I saw the swollen belly.
"It was pregnant. That must've made it go berserk."
"It is kind of bittersweet."
"We had no choice. We can't exactly let it eat us. Besides, werewolves are monsters, plain and simple. There is no room for mercy."
Lena's face was unusually cold.
Times like this make me wonder if she's really the same soft-hearted pushover she usually seems.
"Eek...?!"
Suddenly, Lena made a strange noise.
"What's wrong?"
"I felt something crawl on my skin. A bug...?"
"Ugh... what if it's in your armor?"
"It's fine. These things shake right off."
She hopped in place to dislodge it.
It was so cute, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"W-Why are you laughing...!"
"Can't help it if you're being adorable, Lena."
"Adorable...?"
Her face flushed red.
Yeah, she's most lovable when she's innocently flustered like this.
"Is the bug gone?"
"Huh? Yeah... seems so."
"Good."
We escorted the coachman to the nearest village, then headed to the city.
Plan was to reach the closest city, rent a new carriage there, and continue to our trade city destination.
But trouble struck again on the way.
"Hoo... ugh..."
Lena's breathing grew ragged out of nowhere, and she started staggering.
"You okay?"
"It's... nothing..."
She tried to play it off.
But her face was beet red.
Worried, I touched her forehead.
"You're burning up! Have you caught a cold or something?"
Reluctantly, she confessed.
"It's probably that bug bite from earlier."
"Can't holy spells fix it?"
"No... they don't work on poisons or illnesses."
"Got it..."
I glanced ahead anxiously. The city's outline was faintly visible.
"Hang in there. We'll be there soon."
"I'm fine..."
"You look anything but. Just admit when you're hurting. We're partners, right?"
"...Yeah."
I supported her the rest of the way into the city.
"Damn, you're heavy...!"
"S-Sorry..."
"No, not you—it's the heavy armor. For real."
We made it safely, at least.
I was gonna take her straight to a clinic, but she looked so bad I checked into an inn first for urgent rest.
Two rooms. Not because I worried about contagion or anything. Totally not.
"Rest here. I'll whip up some medicine."
I helped her out of her armor and into bed.
"Thanks... Lia..."
"Don't mention it. I'll bill you later, nursing fees included."
No joke.
"...Okay."
After Lia left.
Lena writhed on the bed before finally drifting into uneasy sleep.
And soon—
The 'bug' sensed the host's consciousness fading and began its full assault.
A monster ranked B+ hazard by the Adventurer's Guild.
Extremely rare, dwelling only in deep underground caverns, so encounters are virtually nonexistent unless deliberately sought by eccentricity hunters or rare monster collectors.
Its high danger rating stems from every recorded parasitism case escalating into a major incident.
It parasitizes only female mammals, targeting the womb as its nest. It remodels the uterus into a suitable habitat.
This triggers rejection symptoms: chills, fever, profound lethargy—the last chance for the host to expel it naturally.
Surviving that, it fully implants, functioning like a fetus. It siphons nutrients, disrupts hormones to induce constant estrus, optimizing its environment.
Next: total host takeover.
"Hoo... ♥"
Lena rubbed her thighs together, exhaling hotly.
Her face still flushed, but not from fever.
The womb remodeling had finished while she slept; the fever had long subsided.
"Haa... ♥"
Flooded with hormones from the Love Parasite, her body burned in savage heat.
Her thighs slick between, labia parted slightly as love juices oozed rhythmically; nipples stiffly erect.
In her dream, she entwined with her first love—unrequited crush: Lia.
The world's cutest silver-haired girl, as far as she knew.
"Ngh... slurp... ♥"
In the dream, Lena suckled Lia's nipple like a nursing babe.
Cradled in her arms, stroked tenderly.
Amid this bliss, her real hand unconsciously grazed her pussy entrance.
Something trickled out amid the juices: a tiny larva.
A newborn from the Love Parasite—microscopic to the naked eye.
Love Parasites are hive minds.
Offspring obey the parent unconditionally via pheromones, communicating across distances.
It sends newborns to invade the brain for direct control, using the host's body ironically as the vector.
"Hya... ♥"
Unconsciously, Lena brought her pussy-probing fingers to her mouth and sucked.
Greedily, gluttonously—like suckling dream-nipples coated in her own nectar.
Seizing the chance, countless larvae slipped inside as planned.
It births thousands at once; most entered via swallowed juices.
A handful reaching the brain seals host domination.
"...Ngh."
Moments later.
Lena's eyes snapped open.
Not truly awake—her mind still submerged deep in sleep's grip.
Yet outwardly alert: brain mistaking the parasite commands as her own will.
The parasite toyed experimentally: crinkling eyes, stretching the tongue, bending knees, wiggling toes.
Familiar now, it guided hands to fondle her pussy.
"Ah."
Sensitivity maxed short of waking her, clit-touch sent hips bucking, pussy squirting powerfully.
"Ah. Ah. Ah. Ahhn ♥ Ah ♥"
Through trial and error, it tuned arousal and sensitivity so mere pussy-touching teetered her on edge without instant climax, then masturbated properly.
"Hya ♥ Ah ♥ Hnng ♥ P-Pu... Pussy... ♥ Pussy... ♥ Pussy...? Pussy... Feels... Good? Go... Good?!"
Burrowing deeper, parasites reached speech and memory centers.
Infant-like babble at first, then words, sentences.
"Pu... Pussy... Gonna... Cum... Cumming... Pussy... Gonna... Cum... Cumming... Pussy, gonna cum. Pussy. Cumming."
With each clit-brush: her pussy gushed like a broken faucet.
Satisfied, it shifted its soaked hands to the breasts and ass, caressing intently.
Meanwhile, invisible larvae infiltrated nipple and anus crevices.
"Nipple masturbation feels good ♥ It's a dirty hole you shouldn't touch, it feels good too ♥ Unclean hole masturbation ♥ Corrupt act makes me cum... Ah ♥"
Squirt squirt.
Her nipples spurted translucent fluid—proof of larvae nesting in her breasts.
In mere hours asleep, Lena's body was wholly the Love Parasite's domain.
