Your and My Change (Part 1)
Your and My Change (Part 1)
After returning from Athan Island, Melanie spent several fairly peaceful days.
This was because the Goddess had been severely injured and had entered a recovery period.
She still spoke to Melanie in her mind, but she could no longer summon her to the temple every night to rape her.
Of course, Lili and Pia took turns fucking her day and night, but compared to Luxuria, it was relatively gentle.
"Melanie! Starting today, please take good care of me officially!"
"......Huh?"
Pia approached Melanie, who was picking out requests at the Lullaby of the Stars Tavern.
For some reason, she wasn't wearing her uniform.
"Aha. So this is how mercenaries pick requests from the board? What kind of request will you take today?"
"......Pia? What are you doing here?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Are you on vacation or something? No duty today?"
"......What, what do you mean? Anyone can see I've quit being a Knight, right?"
"Whaaat?!"
Pia reacted with just as much surprise as Melanie did.
Though their appearances were different, they looked like mirror images of each other.
"What's with that reaction! Didn't we agree I'd be by your side as that person's subordinate from now on?! Are you trying to use me and throw me away now?!"
"Keep your voice down! Who used who?"
"Y-you can't just abandon me like this! I don't even have anywhere else to find work! I need to earn money to send back to my hometown!"
"So why did you quit being a Knight? Was it because of what I said about not being a Knight? If you were going to take someone else's words so seriously, you shouldn't have run away in the first place."
"It wasn't because of you, Melanie."
"Then why? You must have received a lot of rewards for subjugating the Demon God, right?"
"......I didn't really get much of that."
"......What?"
Pia hung her head low, her face full of disappointment.
"All the credit went to that dead pervert. His funeral was held with honors nearly on par with the imperial family. I wasn't even specially summoned for a reward, and while I did receive some money, it wasn't an amount that would make your eyes pop out."
"That can't be...... You're the only Knight who fought a Demon God and survived to return, and that's all......?"
The <pervert> Pia was referring to was the First Knight Captain, Lancelot.
In Sephemo's story, Lancelot returns alive and is greatly praised for slaying Avaritia.
There is no mention of the Empire taking any special measures for Pia after her death.
But even though Lancelot was dead, that part hadn't changed.
[This is what a <distortion> is. It's not just a matter of me feeling displeased. It means this world is truly twisted in an irrational and absurd way.]
'.......'
[Will you still maintain a skeptical stance about eliminating the Distortions even now?]
'E-even if you eliminate them, it doesn't mean things go back to normal. Lancelot is dead, but his influence still remains.'
[Since he was involved in this incident, it must be unavoidable. However, from now on, no more strange incidents related to that bastard will occur.]
Melanie was still negative about arbitrarily modifying the story.
She believed she was only being forced to act this way by Luxuria.
But hearing that she had been saved by Lili, reuniting with Pia...... she couldn't help but be emotionally shaken.
Moreover, thinking that if she left the Distortions Luxuria spoke of alone, things that were difficult to understand from a common-sense perspective would keep happening made it even worse.
As she was struggling to suppress these complex, subtle emotions, Pia suddenly grabbed Melanie's hand firmly.
"Hey, Melanie, I didn't leave the Knight Order without thinking. I started feeling something was off ever since Athan Island. That perverted bastard, aside from being handsome and strong, was completely the worst, and I don't know why I was so obsessed with him. I was even willing to risk my life to gain his recognition?"
"Pia......."
"Even at the funeral, everyone was crying and making a huge fuss over that pervert, and I was just standing there all alone in the middle of it, feeling ridiculous...... Can you understand this feeling? It felt like everyone else was normal and I was the only crazy bitch."
"......."
"Lili said she had a similar experience, right? Her mind had become a complete mess like a flower field because of something that shouldn't exist in this world, but she said she returned to normal thanks to you, Melanie."
"I, I'm not sure if it's okay to say she 'returned to normal'..."
"Melanie, you're working to eliminate those things according to that person's will, right? I feel like if I don't join you, I'll have to carry this uncomfortable feeling with me for the rest of my life. Please!"
Melanie was bewildered that Pia seemed to know more than she had expected.
'Luxuria, you......! Did you tell Lili to tell her all this too? You planned to bring her into this from the start, didn't you?'
[I don't see what the problem is. You like that child too, don't you? I merely prepared a companion for you, who works for me.]
'Tch......!'
There was no way Luxuria had drawn Pia in with such pure intentions.
The reason the story had changed so that Pia survived was because of the desire she held for Melanie.
Whether intended or not, wanted or not, Melanie herself had become the cause of the change.
The Goddess was placing Pia by Melanie's side to keep reminding her.
That the story had already begun to change, and that she too could not escape responsibility for it.

Thwack!♥
"Aahng!♡"
A whip traced a bright red line across Melanie's white, plump buttocks.
A scream burst from her mouth, but to anyone listening, it didn't sound like a simple cry of pain.
"Vulgar thing. That doesn't sound like a cry of suffering at all. You're feeling it lewdly as a female, aren't you?"
"N, noo......♡"
Even as she said that, Melanie was clearly feeling pleasure as well as pain.
Melanie couldn't help but think Luxuria possessed the ability to forcibly make her feel this way.
It made sense, given she was called the Lust Demon.
"Hoh. Let's see how long you keep denying it."
Thwack!♥ Thwack!♥ Thwack!♥ Thwack!♥
"Aahng?!♡ Aah?!♡ Uhhik?!♡"
The whip assaulted Melanie's buttocks at an incredible speed.
Her firm buttocks shook as if dancing, creating waves on her skin.
When it struck the soft flesh in between, the unbearable, searing heat made her twist her body.
Overwhelmed by the pain that felt like her body was on fire, and the pleasure, Melanie drooled and let out shrieks.
Thwaaaack!!!!♥♥♥
"Aaaaahng♡♡"
Squiiiiirt——!!!!♡♡♡
Finally, Melanie couldn't hold back the pleasure that had risen to its limit and squirted her juices.
Luxuria watched the sweat-drenched, panting Melanie while vigorously stroking her own cock.
"Fufu♥ That sweet scream is always so delightful to hear♥ You kept denying it, but you came in the end♥"
"W, wronng......♡ I didn't come......!"
The Goddess was filled with the desire to shove it right into that insolent female's cunt hole.
However, she hadn't recovered enough to violently thrust her hips yet, so she had to be satisfied with tormenting the female and jerking off.
Though she had built up so much that it would take a long time to get it all out by hand.
"I say...... It's not my place to criticize your tastes, but is it necessary to abuse her to this extent? You are, after all, in a cooperative...... relationship. She is your Chosen One."
"Don't mind it. This is a female who has already overcome nearly having her mind break once. She won't be broken by this much."
"Broken? That's a rather harsh expression......"
Avaritia, who had been watching Melanie with a worried expression, approached her.
And gently stroked Melanie's smooth buttocks, which were covered in wounds.
"I cannot stop you, but I shall at least heal her. Just bear with it a little..."
"Hyeuk♡"
Squiiiiirt——!!!!♡♡♡
"Eek?!"
Melanie's pelvis trembled violently as she climaxed spectacularly once again.
The incredibly lewd bitch's pussy had come just from Avaritia's gentle touch.
Avaritia's body was soaked by the splattered cunt juices.
Melanie, embarrassed, blushed and tightly shut her eyes.
"S, sorry......♡"
"It's alright...... That friend over there is the one who played a trick."
Avaritia frowned with displeasure, but that emotion was directed not at Melanie, but at Luxuria.
"Melanie. You are aware of the reason we awaken, and the existence of the mastermind behind it all, correct?"
"Yes......."
The awakening of the Demon Gods is a calamity in itself, but it is also merely a part of a grand plan prepared by a mastermind.
Avaritia, who possessed the most knowledge among the Demon Gods, realized this and tried to reveal the truth.
But he is killed by foolish humans who refuse to seek the truth.
——That was the original story of Sephemo.
"Then, may I assume that even while following Luxuria, you will also work to resolve that issue?"
"I suppose I must...... And with you surviving, the mastermind's plan must have already hit a snag."
"Must you bring that up right now? I was in the middle of enjoying myself."
Luxuria spoke up, sounding dissatisfied.
It was because Avaritia had arbitrarily started the conversation they were going to have slowly after she had shot a few loads.
"Shouldn't we finish quickly and let her sleep? The night is late. If humans lack sleep, both their bodies and minds break down."
"She is my Chosen One. How I handle my property is my business."
"If she can't perform at her best when the time comes to fight, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage too?"
Avaritia, you're so warm to your allies.
Melanie felt tears welling up at Avaritia's affectionate demeanor, so different from during the game era.
It felt like she had found her only sanctuary among women who only thought about raping her all day.
Luxuria, who had been bickering with Avaritia, noticed that at some point her erect cock had gone soft and was hanging limply.
"Haa...... The mood is ruined. How annoying. Fine. Let's just continue our talk. What is the next Distortion we must eliminate? It would be wise for you to tell me without hiding it."
"N-next, there isn't anyone who originally shouldn't have existed, like Lancelot. But there is someone who has changed a lot......"
"Changed? Like Lili's case?"
"I think they changed even more severely than Lili. They changed to the point where I think they've become a completely different being."
"Hmm. If the degree of Distortion is severe, then we have no choice but to eliminate them. What is their name?"
The corner of Melanie's mouth, whose face was pressed vulgarly against the floor, twitched upward slightly.
Luxuria frowned, somehow disliking that expression.
"The Demon God Acedia."
"......What?"
"The next target we must eliminate might just be your comrade."
"Y-you bitch......!"
"Acedia dies in the original story too. So eliminating Acedia won't change the story at all. Great. You'll be satisfied eliminating a Distortion, and I'll be satisfied that the story doesn't change."
"You wench......!"
The reason for Melanie's unpleasant attitude was simple.
Luxuria did not want to let a fellow Demon God die.
But she had never imagined that the Demon God itself would be a Distortion.
This time, the one placed in the most difficult position was not the female lying face down on the floor, but the arrogantly seated Goddess.
