The Abyss, the Girl, and Lies (1)
I've been troubled lately. It's a truly insignificant worry, and utterly pointless at that. Should I develop Shinryong's anus for her, or should I simply be content with filling her pussy to the brim? No, the real issue was that the last time Shinryong seduced me and my restraint melted away, leading to that frenzied sex, I kept pounding only into her pussy, and she seemed to be struggling far too much. I used to be a spirit who was undeniably female, so I know how painful it gets when you're constantly being pounded there—even with plenty of lubrication, it starts to feel raw. Especially toward the end, my climax takes longer, forcing me to thrust my hips harder, and the intensity of the pleasure seems to dull a little more with each release. That's why I've been wondering if I should start developing her anus instead. Of course, this is something I need to discuss with Shinryong, but since she becomes such a pushover at night that she'll grant my every request, it shouldn't be a problem. Probably… I hope. Though she might get angry; I'm not sure about that part. If I can just make her feel good, maybe the anus would be fine too. Everything hurts the first time, after all. Yeah~
“···· Hmm.”
They say anal expansion is truly a matter of talent. I wonder how much Shinryong could take? Honestly, the idea of fitting a whole hand in and out feels gross, so I don't want that. I just want her to comfortably accept my junior. Ah, widening her is the top's responsibility anyway, so maybe I just need to hold back a little. When the chance comes, I'll buy a bunch of toys, have our fill of fun, and then carefully start. I'll need to stock up on condoms too.
“····”
But because of that, another worry has crept in. Ever since that day Shinryong accepted me with such an incredibly lewd voice, I can't stop thinking about sex. Whether we're preparing tea and pressing our foreheads together for a morning greeting, or sipping tea while chatting about the weather, or even when we're briefly apart for our morning routines, or when we're pressed close during meditation. Even when I catch that new expression on Shinryong's face—eyes sparkling with interest while playing the board game I bought before. No matter how much time we spend together…
“Bwee…❤”
The memory of Shinryong's messy face, tongue lolling out while drenched in cum, refuses to fade. It's an indescribably stimulating image that keeps resurfacing in my mind. But… Shinryong seems rather composed about it. After endless creampies, did she finally realize something? It feels like she's awakened to a new desire. Lately she's been seducing me almost as naturally as breathing. Even her usual loose robes have suddenly been tailored to hug her body more tightly. Whenever I'm doing something, she'll sidle up and brush her tail against my butt before passing by. When I flinch and look at her in surprise, she'll push her hips back to emphasize that already plump rear, glancing at me from the corner of her eye. Every time that happens, I feel like I'm going insane with the urge to just take her right there. She used to insist that nighttime activities only had value at night and would put up an iron wall against morning sex, but now the sun hasn't even set and she's already… already…!
“····”
Right now Shinryong is in the bath, so I'm sitting alone in our usual meditation spot, trying to calm my mind. Ah, I remembered again. Even before heading into the bath, she loosened her robe just enough to bare her shoulders and chest—only her nipples covered—right in front of me. Something's off. Do dragonkin even have mating seasons? Could it actually be a heat cycle…? I started imagining even the impossible, sinking deeper and deeper into thoughts of her like someone trapped in quicksand.
“Haa, meditation's not happening…”
My heart is pounding. Damn it, today's meditation is a lost cause… At this rate, tonight's going to be wild too. Whatever.
At that same moment, inside the bathroom……
“Kghhh…!”
Whether it was because she was lying in a tub full of warm water or because of the morning's debauchery, Shinryong was twisting her body restlessly, face flushed crimson as she clutched it with both hands. In truth, there was no special reason for Shinryong's sudden provocative behavior. Last night's sex had simply felt too good… and her love for Niyu had begun to burn hotter and hotter… Besides, Shinryong had no experience or knowledge of how to express such feelings. She didn't know how to convey them appropriately or how to create the most maddening moments. Everything she'd shown so far was merely the clumsy outpouring of her heart—wanting to be taken again and again. Just like her beloved attendant Niyu had always done to her, she was walking around thinking, “Aren't I pretty? Aren't I lovely~?” She couldn't bring herself to say aloud how wonderful last night's sex had been, not after what she'd said before. It would have seemed too vulgar… Honestly, if she were to be completely frank, Shinryong had enjoyed every single time they'd had sex. There hadn't been a single moment when she hadn't been happy or satisfied. Unable to voice how perfectly their bodies fit together, she had begun expressing it with her body instead—without realizing what kind of desire in Niyu she might be awakening. Like livestock being led to slaughter, still pure and unaware. Shinryong only hoped that by performing these embarrassing acts, her feelings would reach Niyu… But as night deepened, she belatedly realized the truth.
“Uho❤ Oho❤ Uek❤ Hugek❤”
She realized the terrifying fact that if you seduce someone, they will go berserk regardless of your intentions.
“Ogogok——❤”
That's why Shinryong, thoroughly ravished again today, firmly resolved to speak more carefully from now on… No, she wouldn't do it anymore? Oh no…
Those were the days that followed. From that day onward, Shinryong began approaching me more actively, and while I wondered why she had changed so suddenly, upon reflection I realized she had actually been gradually becoming more forward for quite some time. In the end, Shinryong had grown provocative enough to arouse me with her own body and had begun to purely enjoy being taken. So sometimes I found myself missing the old Shinryong—the sincere, lyrical, and composed one… But it's not as if the current Shinryong has completely lost that side of herself. Once we grow a little more accustomed to these acts, I'm sure she'll return to being that subtly alluring Shinryong of before. Yeah, the old Shinryong had that innocent purity that made her sudden lewdness all the more striking. Now she's openly lewd, and my cock never gets a break. In other words, it also means Shinryong's divine power has stabilized considerably, so she can use her mysteries freely without issue. I'm relieved once again that her condition is healthy. But at this rate, my health—my cock's health—is… Of course, even though Shinryong initiates the teasing, she still loses her mind after being pounded a few times. There was that time she started licking my cock first, only to beg me to stop the moment I came inside her. That might all be an act, but the Shinryong I know isn't the type to put up a smokescreen like that. Knowing full well it'll be at least ten rounds once we start, she still charges at me like I'm her personal bedding, only to keep getting pinned down. But with this kind of momentum, I might actually end up being the one pinned within a few days… Surely not. Was this Shinryong's grand plan all along—to completely break me down and turn her attendant into a mere body servant? I've noticed her lately staring intently at a collared dog being walked through the Great Cavity… No way. Surely not. Or… maybe?
“Is anyone there~?”
While I was lost in such delusions, I suddenly sensed a familiar presence outside, followed by a familiar voice calling for a guest. My body reacted instinctively; every nonexistent hair stood on end as an explosive wariness surged through me. I approached the entrance slowly, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door quickly to deal with it before Shinryong arrived.
“Oh, you've grown quite a bit, Niyu!”
The Fox Deity had personally come all the way to the shrine in the Great Cavity and was greeting me with a wide grin.
“F-F-F-Fox…!”
I recoiled with a disgusted expression and glared at her bewitching smile.
“Ah, sorry about that~ That's why I came to repay the money today. Here~!”
The Fox Deity pulled out a paper bag from her sleeve and offered it to me to settle the debt she'd racked up with Shinryong. I snatched it like an angry cat and opened it. Inside was the exact amount owed. As I stared in surprise, the Fox Deity smiled brightly, watching my expression soften now that I knew it wasn't a lie.
“I told you I'd definitely repay it~”
She declared confidently that she wasn't some ungrateful beast. I finally acknowledged her dignified demeanor with a nod and treated her with the respect befitting a deity's visit. Of course, Shinryong, who had been waiting inside, wore an extremely uncomfortable expression I'd never seen from her before.
“Oh~ Have you been well, Shinryong~?”
As the Fox Deity approached for a handshake, Shinryong hid her hands in her sleeves, her expression twisting further as she kept her distance.
“Why have you come all the way here? It's inconvenient.”
She even emphasized the word “inconvenient” again. When I quickly brought over the paper bag, she muttered in a small voice, “···· Has something happened?” as if sensing something odd—perhaps wondering if the Fox Deity's mind had finally deteriorated. When the Fox Deity shook her head and said she'd simply wanted to see her, for some reason Shinryong's face darkened at those words: “I just wanted to see you.”
The atmosphere shifted. Shinryong stared intently at the Fox Deity with a grave expression before turning an uneasy gaze toward me and speaking calmly.
“Niyu, I must go out for a while.”
From that moment, the Fox Deity's previously nonchalant expression vanished. She turned her back with a dark look I'd never seen directed at me before. Sensing something ominous from their strange behavior, I grabbed Shinryong's sleeve as she headed outside and said,
“··· Be careful.”
Shinryong met my eyes, offered a faint smile, and departed. I watched her go with a worried heart. From their reactions earlier, I'd felt something was wrong. The fact that the ever-jovial Fox Deity had suddenly shown such a dark expression, and that Shinryong—who would normally refuse any request from her—had agreed to follow without a word. Though I'd let them go, I couldn't just wait idly. I headed to the training room Shinryong used for her morning routines, sat on a cushion in seiza, and began meditating just as she always did, pouring my entire being into my soul. I succeeded in projecting my consciousness elsewhere—something I'd thought might fail. Smiling at the joy of having followed her method, I set those feelings aside and focused on tailing Shinryong and the Fox Deity.
They headed into the city and soon entered a secluded alley. Suspicious of why the Fox Deity was bringing Shinryong to such a place, I watched her warily. Walking with solemn steps, the Fox Deity spoke in a lowered voice.
“You haven't sensed anything strange recently, have you?”
It was a heavy tone I'd never heard from her before. Shinryong answered seriously that she hadn't sensed anything. But the Fox Deity insisted,
“No, that won't do.”
Without further explanation, she led Shinryong deeper into the alley, toward an underground basement. After walking and walking, they arrived at a dark, damp room with no light. Beyond it———
“What is this···”
“Look. What do you think this is?”
A grotesque, tentacle-like thing was growing from deep in the ground—something I'd never seen before.
“No, perhaps the question is wrong.”
It resembled something from the Abyss, yet carried a distinctly different energy.
“Which world does this seem to have come from?”
Something from another realm.
“·····”
Shinryong stood silently staring at it. Then, without warning, she extended her index finger toward my forehead—where my invisible soul was watching—and spoke.
“———Go back, Niyu.”
She had known I was there all along. Her fingertip touched the center of my forehead, forcibly returning my soul to my original body.
Back in the training room, I gasped in shock.
“Huk—— W-What the…!!?”
I was startled that Shinryong had known about me, and I began questioning the grotesque tentacle I'd seen. It wasn't something of the Abyss. While it shared some characteristics, it couldn't be called a materialized malice from the Abyss. It felt alien—something that couldn't be explained by the concepts of our world. It seemed like a trace left by some unknown existence. I worried that Shinryong might be getting involved in something bizarre, that she might be drawn into an irreversible danger. I tried to meditate again to project my soul, but whatever Shinryong had done, I could no longer grasp the threads of my soul. Frustrated, I struck the floor with my fist, unable to stay still amid my growing anxiety. But…
“····”
In my current powerless state, there was truly nothing I could do. I had always hated this. Hated being unable to do anything. That's why that day I had thrown myself into fighting the Abyss—so I could grow stronger, so Shinryong wouldn't have to face something alone. But now, with this body, I couldn't grow stronger no matter what I did. I couldn't handle divine power skillfully or wield strength recklessly. I couldn't resonate with the forest to borrow its power like in those long-forgotten days. I could only borrow a tiny bit of Shinryong's divine power to perform minor mysteries. That was all. That was the limit of my potential. So I stood up and slowly walked toward the decorative pond in the courtyard.
“···· If I take that out now···”
It was too early, and the situation wasn't urgent enough. But perhaps before Shinryong got involved in real danger, I could accept and tame it again. Maybe I could regain control of that power with my own hands before something truly dangerous happened.
“I have to protect her… Even with that····”
Unable to resist my own helpless longing, I approached the pond and peered inside.
“···”
Something ominous stirred within, as if watching me.
“Still···· will you let me hold you···”
I reached out toward the core sealing orb sleeping deep in the pond—the most important of the seals on the Abyss—toward the space beyond the boundary. But just before my fingertips touched the water…
“····”
I stopped my hand.
“··· No.”
I knew better than anyone that stepping back into the Abyss was something I could never do, even if it killed me.
“Not yet····”
It wasn't time to offer my soul to that irreversible place. I immediately looked away from the pond, turned around, and hurried back to the annex.
“···”
At the same time, the presence writhing beyond the pond seemed disappointed. It screamed for me to come back, to enter again, offering power, offering everything to tempt me… But—
“···· Get lost.”
With eyes sharp as blades, just like in my corrupted days, I glared at it and drove the Abyss back into the depths of the pond. It wasn't through divine power or my own strength. It was simply…
“In the end···· you're beneath my feet.”
The terror of being slaughtered on an instinctual level had been imprinted upon it. A somewhat complicated form of subjugation. What slept within the pond's boundary wasn't just the main axis of passages leading to the Abyss… It was also the master of the Abyss, who knew my corrupted past all too well.
