14. Hypnosis…? (2)
As I was browsing through the Erotic Penalties one by one, one in particular caught my eye.
<Hypnotic Weakness>
[Mental barrier? Dispel talisman? It is all completely useless. The moment a coin dangles before your eyes, your pupils will unfocus and drool will trickle down—your weakness is hypnosis! One wrong move, and before you know it, you will be sucking the cock of a man you've never even seen before. You had better sharpen your five senses to a razor's edge. Of course, it will not do any good whatsoever♡]
"...It's this."
I discovered the culprit that caused me to reach this wretched state.
To think it was a hypnosis eroge, of all things.
With such a filthy penalty attached to me, even a transcendent entity had no choice but to be helplessly overpowered.
What happened at the castle gate came back to my mind.
Whether the application form was the trigger or not, the moment I received it in my hand, my mind floated away, my mouth gaped open into a stupid circle, and then... my sanity went completely down the drain.
Calling men 'males', calling women 'females', and believing it was completely natural for women to become living onaholes to receive men's semen.
Even though I had become that very 'female'.
"Heut......."
Everything I blurted out yesterday felt so humiliating that my head felt like it was going to explode.
Acting coy toward the lord, casually exchanging dirty conversations at the adult toy store, and making that perverted protest to that geographer.
"Seriously, this is so ridiculous, haaa......."
Fanning my face with my hand, I cooled down my flushed cheeks.
Even in the middle of this utter chaos, I almost respected myself for remaining relatively calm.
A transcendent entity whose willpower is superhuman, yet pathetic when it comes to hypnosis... is that what I am?
'Still... why did the hypnosis break?'
That's right. The hypnosis that had penetrated so deeply into my mind that I casually spewed vulgar words and took being treated as a fleshlight for granted had completely vanished after a single night's sleep.
Of course, I couldn't guarantee that I had fully recovered, but at least right now, I was in my right mind, wasn't I?
"Hmm......."
While I was pondering the reason, the sound of rustling came from beside me.
"Eu, eum... fuuu......."
It was Remia, who had tumbled down from the second bunk.
The moment I saw her, I clapped my hands together without realizing it. Jjak.
'That's right, yesterday this woman...!'
She had poured out strange words as if she had turned into a completely different person.
Until just now, I thought she was merely rambling nonsensical babble, but could that have actually foretold this current situation?
Where that powerful hypnosis would be shattered all at once?
"Remia, Remia?"
"Eut, eu... Wha, what is it...?"
"Wake up."
"Uh... Li, Lilite-yang. It's morning alreadyyy......."
Not fully awake yet, Remia rubbed her eyes with a half-asleep expression and slowly sat up.
"Snap out of it and listen to me for a moment."
"...Huh? Wha, what......."
"What you said last night. What did that mean?"
"......?"
Though I asked urgently, Remia merely tilted her head as if wondering what on earth I was talking about.
"Wha, what are you talking about all of a sudden......."
"Don't pretend you don't know...!"
I grabbed Remia's shoulders tightly and shouted.
"Remia, you were the one who said it. Astrologer. Two Moons. That you saw the future... and that I would wake up screaming."
"Li, Lilite-yang......."
I glared at Remia with wide, piercing eyes.
Flustered, Remia only darted her gaze back and forth before eventually hanging her head low.
"S, sorry. I really don't know what you're talking about......."
"......."
I was at a loss for words at that response.
Because it wasn't the tone of someone feigning ignorance while knowing the truth, but genuinely the tone and expression of someone who knew absolutely nothing.
"D, did I do something wrong...?"
"...No."
In the end, I had no choice but to sigh and let her go.
After all, it was either that she was deliberately refusing to say it, or that she couldn't say it... one of the two.
Even if she was truly acting, if she kept feigning ignorance like this, I would only turn into the weird one for continually interrogating her.
"You don't remember, do you."
"Y, yeah. I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep as soon as I laid down......."
Because I played outside for a long time, Remia added.
I once again suppressed the urge to ask, 'So why the hell is two hours 'a long time'?'
"Phew, this is so fucking irritating......."
Perhaps because my emotions were running high, vulgar language kept slipping out abruptly.
The fact that I was still using polite speech in the middle of that was equally absurd.
I took a deep breath first, then looked around my surroundings.
Several beds were empty. Since it was morning, it seemed most had gone to get ready to start the day.
Meaning... getting ready to be fucked, surely.
Eri wasn't in the bed right next to mine either, so I asked Remia.
"E, Eri-yang...? Well, because it's morning, she probably went to do the Pussy Greeting......."
"...Excuse me?"
Pussy Greeting?
What the fuck is that now, crazy shit.......
"Ah, I guess no one told Li, Lilite-yang. In the morning, we have to greet Master-nim with our pussies. Only the onaholes that Master-nim cherishes, though."
"I, I see."
Who gives a shit... I didn't want to know about that crap at all.......
"We have to go do it too."
"What?!"
"Well, that's because Master-nim's favorite First-Squad Onaholes include me and Li, Lilite-yang too......."
The moment I heard Remia's shocking remark, my head spun, and I shut my eyes tightly.
No, but why the fuck am I a First-Squad Onahole?
Did I get a Grade 1 quality stamp like some Hanwoo beef or something?
...When I asked Remia that, she looked at me with an expression that said it was only natural.
"Li, Lilite-yang was with Master-nim from day till evening, weren't you...?"
"...Yes."
I hated to admit it, but it was the truth.
"Fleshlight bitches who got fucked for that long are rare... no, there are none at all. I think Li, Lilite-yang probably broke the all-time record. As for me......"
"......."
Me?
Seriously?
Now, my teeth were even chattering, deol-deol-deol, from sheer shame.
'No, facts are facts, but... haaa, this is seriously ridiculous.......'
Breaking a new record by getting fucked by a man for half a day.
I felt my fucking head boiling over with rage.
"Shall we get ready soon too...?"
"F, for the Pussy Greeting?"
"Mm-hmm. As expected, Li, Lilite-yang learns quickly."
I wanted to snap at her to stop talking nonsense.
"Let's wash up... and change clothes."
"What clothes do we wear?"
"That outfit Li, Lilite-yang wore when you first arrived."
I let out a sigh of relief.
Of course, that mage dress was extremely revealing as well, but thinking about wearing the clothes from when I first possessed this body made my anxiety slowly subside, as if returning home.
***
While washing my body in the medicinal bath, I pondered.
'Is there a way to escape?'
I am a transcendent entity. When it comes to magic, whether it's the Tower Master or an Archmage, no one can match me.
Quietly escaping with flight magic, or straight up utterly destroying and wiping this city out of existence wouldn't be unreasonable at all.
Theoretically, that is.
"......."
The problem is whether I can truly wield magic at will.
Losing control of my mana and going on a rampage... I couldn't dismiss the possibility of such a scenario happening.
The only time I had ever used magic so far was when infusing mana into that contract.
'Besides, could this city truly have made no preparations whatsoever?'
According to what Remia said last night, that fellow named Rufus had lived in this city for fifteen years.
The city's history is undoubtedly much longer than that.
Over that vast span of time, they had lured countless women, turned them into females, and detained them here.
Eri alone is a young lady of the Beltart family, renowned for swordsmanship, and there is also that mercenary captain named Sylvia.
I couldn't even fathom the city's methods that thoroughly managed every single one of those powerful, noble women without a single exception.
'...Am I overthinking this too cautiously?'
For all my title as a transcendent entity, if it's merely a city built by humans......
'And yet I was the one who got hypnotized by mere 'humans' and had my virginity taken.'
Thinking about it made my head ache.
There is only one chance. If I fail, there's no telling how severely I will be violated. Not to mention never being able to escape forever, wouldn't I be subjected to harsh sexual torture?
On top of that... that Sow Declaration contract bothers me so much.
Didn't I infuse my very own mana into those toxic clauses I wrote myself?
I have no idea in what manner that might bind my feet.
"......."
I decided.
'For now, let's go with carefully observing the situation.'
The reason courtesans in the red-light district know shady information so well is that the high-ranking VIPs they entertain blab out everything they should and shouldn't say once drunk on booze and sex.
As Kyle... the lord's 'First-Squad Onahole', I might be able to hear various stories.
He might casually toss confidential information out to me, thinking I'm still hypnotized.
The only stumbling block to this extremely cautious operation is myself.
Because I have to replicate the vulgar things I did yesterday with a completely sober mind.
'...I'll just have to endure it.'
There is no free lunch.
Having possessed an overpowered transcendent entity aiming to leech an easy life, I bitterly realized that grand universal law through yesterday's events.
I just need to act well. Just act.
As long as I can escape, playing the role of a fleshlight for a while is something I can casually do, can't I......
"...Phew."
I hate this, seriously.......
***
When I finished changing clothes and stepped out, Remia, who had finished her preparations, was waiting for me.
"Li, Lilite-yang. You're super pretty and lewd today too......."
"...Thank you."
If not for that word 'lewd', I would have accepted the compliment somewhat gratefully.
"Come on, let's go. To Master-nim."
Remia grabbed my collar and pulled gently.
Stepping out of the quarters and walking across the marble floor, the clicking sound of heels echoed, ttogak-ttogak.
"W, we're not late, are weee......."
Completely unaware of my feelings of not wanting to go at all, Remia hurriedly hurried her steps.
Soon, we arrived at the center of the castle hall.
On the second floor, staircases leading to the lord's chambers flanked left and right, and a luxurious chandelier and a red carpet came into view.
And.
"......."
In the first-floor lobby, about thirty women were gathered.
Split in half across the corridor, they stood lined up in sharp formation, facing each other.
Standing with their arms pressed flush against their sides and their backs straightened stiffly.
Their expressions were devoid of emotion. A doll-like chill emanated from them.
Are all these women First-Squad Onaholes?
As if only the special grade was picked among the females scattered all over the city, the women's appearances were entirely graceful and beautiful.
Their figures were exceptional as well. Not only were their breasts and butts voluptuous, but feminine curves graced multiple areas such as their waists and legs.
Their attires were varied. Voluminous, extravagant dresses one would only see at a ball, form-fitting uniforms, and even nun habits... was that their everyday attire?
"...Eri."
Among them, Eri was visible. In her bunny girl outfit, as expected.
Her usual lively demeanor was nowhere to be found; like the other women, she was vacantly staring into empty space... with a lifeless face.
"L, let's hurry and go stand in line too."
"Okaaay......."
Remia and I went to the end of the line and stood facing each other just like the other women.
'...Just what on earth is going to happen?'
Just imagining it is terrifying.
Cheolkeokー
The sound of a door opening on the second floor echoed through the air. I almost turned my head reflexively to look, but barely held back and stared straight ahead properly.
Soon, heavy footsteps came echoing down, ttubeok-ttubeok.......
