Chapter Title: Demon King's Castle 3rd Round
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"For now..."
I checked my remaining points.
There were about 700,000 left.
The 800,000 points had been spent over roughly two weeks of outside activities.
Points were urgently needed right now... which meant I had to head to the worldline that gave the most points.
I tapped on the Demon King's Castle worldline floating at the top of the app.
'In the previous 2nd round, I earned about 600,000 points...'
Double the 300,000 from the 1st round. So for this 3rd round, I could expect double that—1.2 million.
A pretty satisfying increase. If it kept doubling like this, I might even be able to scrape together 10 billion points in the not-too-distant future, if not right away.
I roughly calculated it in my head.
'About fourteen trips, then...'
Of course, they probably wouldn't let me keep hitting just the Demon King's Castle. Other worldlines might need to rack up rounds too before the next Castle round unlocked, or there could be conditions like opening new worlds.
That had happened before. Anyway, since the 3rd round of the Demon King's Castle was open right now, that's where I had to go.
'Points... gotta earn 'em.'
I let out a sigh as I stared at the number on the app.
For some reason, it felt like I'd ended up in a job where I sold my body for money—but honestly, it wasn't even a delusion.
I was literally going off to get laid for points.
"Demon King's Castle? You like it there?"
"Well... not like, exactly. More like it gives the most points."
I scratched my head as I answered Joo-young's question.
Truth be told, even setting points aside, the Demon King's Castle was a bit better than the other worldlines. Better than cyberpunk with its rampant human experimentation or the Women-Dominated World full of scary futanari big sisters.
Relatively speaking, anyway. The Castle still wasn't exactly kind to me.
Gulp.
I swallowed hard, imagining what would happen when Erzebet got back.
"Why're you swallowing like that? Got a girlfriend there?"
"N-no... nothing like that."
Girlfriend. Sylvia was the closest thing, but she wasn't really a girlfriend.
My unconvincing answer made Joo-young furrow her brows and turn to Yuria.
"Yuria."
"Mm... sorry, but I can't go into details about internal matters. Like I said before, ask Yeon directly."
"Yuria..."
I silently thanked her for the response.
'Thank... you...'
She'd seemed like she betrayed me and teamed up with Joo-young at one point, but she was still protecting a minimum of my privacy...
Getting swarmed by women for intense nipple development, inseminated by mechanical tentacles, living with an Aneros plugged in—stuff I couldn't even describe out loud.
If Joo-young found out every sordid detail from those parallel worlds, I'd have no hope of ever showing my face again.
Well, if she grabbed me by the balls and demanded answers, I'd have to spill everything...
"No helping it. Guess I'll ask slowly later."
"..."
Oh no.
"W-well... I'll be back."
Time to bail for now.
I clicked on the Demon King's Castle 3rd round and lay comfortably on the bed.
Shwooo—
A bright light gradually filled my vision. I lost consciousness in its glow.
"You've awakened."
I slowly opened my eyes to a familiar voice.
"Ugh..."
I rubbed my eyes and woke up. Sunlight streamed through the window by the bed. In a familiar bedroom. I was cradled in Sylvia's arms.
'How did it end last time...?'
I'd definitely trained my stamina for a week with the Aneros in, then special training with Azazel.
And finally gone out from Sylvia, Seril, and Hilda's coordinated nipple assault...
Sylvia held my wriggling form close and whispered in a low voice.
"There's good news and bad news. Which would you like first?"
"...!"
Good news and bad news. It was already scary. But it didn't seem to matter which I picked, so I chose the good one first.
"Good news first..."
"Understood."
Swish—
Sylvia suddenly slipped her hand into the waistband of my pants.
"!"
Her soft hand glided down my lower body, caressing near my butt.
And then.
Sloooowly—
"Ohhh...!"
She gripped the Aneros in my ass and began slowly pulling it out.
I felt a sensation like ten years of pent-up frustration rushing out as the foreign object that had been lodged in me for so long was removed.
"Haa... haa..."
So refreshing... so happy...
As I panted in post-removal bliss, Sylvia wrapped the extracted Aneros in a cloth and stored it away.
"This is the good news. You no longer need to live with the Aneros inside you, Young Master Yeon."
"Y-yes...!"
It was such joyful, wonderful news. So what could the bad news be?
"Then... what's the bad news?"
I asked dumbly, and Sylvia replied with an expressionless face.
"...Her Highness has returned, and she brought back some item."
"!"
What? Erzebet was back? And she'd even brought some item with her?
Terror gripped me, but curiosity won out. I'd find out eventually anyway.
"...W-what... item?"
"It seems to be something she specially commissioned from Dragon Lord Zefeto... though I don't know the details myself."
"..."
"From what I can guess, it's probably not something you'll like, Young Master Yeon..."
No way.
"I'll spare further words. Also, Her Highness has summoned you to her chambers tonight."
"!"
It was a double whammy.
I'd known something like this would happen eventually, but I'd entered the 3rd round hoping Erzebet might stay away after her trip.
But she'd already returned, brought some terrifying item, and was calling me to her chambers tonight.
The absolute worst scenario...
I spoke to Sylvia in a slightly teary voice.
"That's too much... then the good news at the start wasn't even good..."
I'd been thrilled about the Aneros removal, but it turned out to be foreshadowing for this. Sylvia was too sly.
"...My apologies. It was meant to ease your burdens, Young Master Yeon."
"No need to apologize..."
I slipped out of Sylvia's arms.
She gently stroked my head for a moment before standing.
"It's around 1 p.m. now. There are a few things to do before heading to Her Highness's chambers."
"Like... what?"
"Pre-preparation, I suppose. Let's start with lunch."
After enjoying a delicious Demon King's Castle meal, I followed behind Sylvia.
We wound through corridors to arrive at one place.
The atmosphere felt dark and strange somehow.
"Please enter."
A dim corridor.
Flickering torchlight danced on red walls, and a peculiar scent tickled my nose.
It felt like heading to some seedy establishment... not that I'd ever been to one.
I glanced around the corridor as I asked Sylvia,
"Where is this?"
"...One of the places you must visit before heading to the Demon King's chambers tonight. It will protect your body, Young Master Yeon."
"...?"
Protect?
Sylvia offered no further explanation. We entered the shady, establishment-like corridor, and soon a counter appeared.
A demon woman in something like a white nurse's uniform waited there.
"You're here. Young Master Yeon. You're already booked, so go right in~"
With wavy brown hair and a soft, warm impression, she bowed politely to us and guided us inside.
But Sylvia stopped in place instead of following.
"Then I'll wait here."
What? Alone?
"C-can't... you come with me?"
It's scary alone... who knows what'll happen. But with Sylvia, I'd feel safe.
The demon woman spoke in a gentle, soothing voice.
"Sorry, but our Este doesn't allow outside observers. You'll have to enter alone~"
"O-oh..."
As I grew anxious, Sylvia reassured me.
"No need to worry. It won't hurt at all. I'll wait outside, so relax and enjoy."
"I'll take good care of you. This way~"
"...O-okay."
I followed their words, leaving Sylvia outside, and entered as guided.
Inside, following the demon woman's lead, I was greeted by what looked like a bathhouse locker room.
"Change into this."
The demon woman handed me some gauzy fabric. I took it and spread it out with both hands.
"...!"
It was barely more than pasties for my nipples and dick—a sheer white cloth.
Practically transparent; wearing it or not made no difference.
"Y-you want me to wear... this?"
"Yes~ It's a necessary step. If you have trouble, I can help~"
"N-no... I can do it."
Wear hooker clothes like this? I didn't want to, but better me putting it on than being stripped and forced.
Grudgingly, I stripped, stowed my clothes in the locker, and draped on the not-quite-clothes.
"..."
Gauzy enough to serve no real purpose as clothing. A breeze whistled right through.
And through the semi-transparent fabric, my pink nipples showed clearly, along with the outline of my lower half.
Wearing just panties—or even naked—would've been less embarrassing.
"Ugh..."
I crossed my legs tightly, one hand over my chest, the other over my crotch.
The demon woman watched with sparkling eyes, then took my hand from my crotch and led me deeper in.
"My, it suits you so well. Shall we go inside?"
