Sense of Incongruity
The true nature of the options I had learned from my sister.
“So the tattoos on her body were inscribed with Stimulation Spores… and her demerit points carry over on a cumulative basis until she receives an Execution…. Yeah, I can understand up to there. We have a cellmate who enjoys Executions, so it makes sense.”
Honestly, even that much was harsh beyond comprehension.
The tattoos covering her entire body. No matter how you looked at them they appeared to be ordinary tattoos, yet the fact that they were packed full of Stimulation Spores was a problem in itself, and according to my brother-in-law the way the spores operated was skewed toward raising body temperature and altering hormones to heighten arousal, so just hearing about it made the whole thing feel like an atrocious act. Moreover, tattoos applied even to sensitive areas… just imagining it was terrifying.
But it was not only the tattoos. The carry-over of demerit points was also an issue. The inmates here always had to stay tense and strive to avoid Execution. Even Yejin, who enjoyed Executions, would tremble with extreme fear when one actually loomed. And I myself had undergone a Special Execution, engraving deep the terror that a real person could die, so regardless of the risk level, Execution was frightening. Above all, the realistic fear that one could die from a genuine Execution always produced nightmares. No matter how hard the guards tried, even if medical technology had advanced, the risk of dying from unexpected accidents and shock was greater than one might think. Thus the worry and apology my cellmates had sent during the Execution announcement, along with the sighs of relief they felt… all of those were sincere.
More than ten days had passed since the Execution ended, yet Seoa still woke up screaming at night from the fear of the branding-iron torture. My sister’s decision to set the option with the resolve to unconditionally receive such acts—the option that demerit points only reset upon receiving an Execution—meant that as long as she was here, she would receive Executions.
“…Ha. But her sentence is six months?”
“Yeah. I matched it to yours. If I serve that long and get out, I can leave around the next holiday season. Instead, I didn’t set any extension options.”
“…Haa~ Yeah. That aside. Still, this I can’t understand…. No, brother-in-law too. How could you set this option….”
“What? Which one? Ah~ Maybe the one where if I rank first during training time, I get rented out to another guard for a day, and if I rank last, I get grafted with a male dog?”
“…You’re fine saying that in front of your little sister?”
“Hehe. It’s a bit embarrassing, but thinking of us as fellow inmates, well….”
“…Are you crazy, unnie? And male dogs? You mean those insane people in solitary? You want to offer your body to crazy people?”
“Come on… Crazy people? They’re not like that.”
This was the problematic option. One of the various options my sister had set. But the content was so atrocious it was nauseating. According to the option, my sister had to be embraced by other men. Here, first and last place meant ranking among the inmates in the same cell. With the cell population almost fixed at four, it was practically no different from having to offer her body to others with a fifty-fifty chance every day. And she was a married woman at that.
“Brother-in-law, you didn’t stop her?”
“Me? Why?”
“Well, she’s mixing bodies with other men.”
“What’s wrong with that? Come on~ Sister-in-law. It’s not like the 2020s with all that netorase and netorare stuff from the past; it’s the 2050s. And for a human-rights-less inmate who chose Prison Island with various resolutions, this much is whatever.”
“What… did you say?”
I was speechless. Coming from my brother-in-law’s mouth—he who normally cared so much and put in such effort regarding my sister—it was far too different from the image he usually showed.
“And Hayoon’s sexual desire is something I can’t handle alone. It’s hard even normally, but in a place full of sexual acts like Prison Island, well, no way.”
“That’s right. Your brother-in-law can’t even hold up well in mandatory defense battles.”
“That’s because you… ahem. Because Hayoon, you’re too strong. Anyway, it seems sister-in-law doesn’t know much about her unnie… How about it, Hayoon? Why don’t you properly show once what kind of bitch you are?”
“W-wait a minute…! Um… what are you going to do?”
“Just. Something…”
As soon as the words ended, brother-in-law took out a black object from his pocket. It was a familiar item—one of the things Leviathan always pulled out when making threats. The control terminal for the Stimulation Spores. Brother-in-law—no, he who had become the new Asmode—pointed the terminal toward my sister. And the moment he pressed the button—
“Hieuk!! Ah…! Hihihiik! ♡ T-too… hiiiik! Uuuk!”
My sister collapsed in convulsions. Her body twitching. The tattoos engraved on her skin—that is, the Stimulation Spores—wriggled and glowed.
“What have you done….”
“I just activated the spores. While I was at it, I tweaked the breathing-control device on her neck a bit to make her a little drowsy? Rather than explaining with words, how about feeling it with your body?”
“…What?”
This time the terminal pointed at my body. Then the collar tightened just enough to lightly choke my neck, and the spores inside my nipples wriggled and touched my body.
“Haueuk…! Ah. Eut.”
I let out a moan without realizing it. But it was not unbearable. This level was on the weak side even among the continuous spore tortures I had to endure for one hour every day, so just biting my lip was enough to hold back the moans.
“See. It’s this much, yet your unnie is in that state right now. She’s much more sensitive than other inmates, and her sexual desire boils over so much that if we don’t bring her to Prison Island like this, social life would actually be difficult.”
“Eu… euut. Still, that is… too much.”
“I know. She’s suffering more because of the tattoos, that’s true. But that’s only that much. Going crazy to the point of convulsing like this is because of Hayoon’s true nature.”
Saying that, brother-in-law approached my sister. Even though his sister-in-law was watching, he pulled down his pants and took out his cock. It was a different feeling from seeing other guards’. Of course, all I had seen so far was only Leviathan’s cock, but still, the sight of someone I knew casually taking out his cock was quite a shock just to watch. And that person was my brother-in-law. Moreover… a figure who could be called family.
“Suck it.”
“Heu… hieut…! Ah… euuk ♡ Ah, h-honey. Right now…♡ H-here…?”
Looking at me sideways as if embarrassed, my sister seemed ashamed of feeling it naked in front of her little sister and tried to cover her body with her hands, but Guard Asmode did not permit it.
Slap!!
A slap flew. A sharp expression and unhesitating physical abuse not seen from the usual brother-in-law. Then, approaching my sister, Asmode grabbed her breasts.
“Kyaueuk!! Ah… aheuk♡ U… uuu.”
“From now on, don’t use the word ‘honey’. I’ve been lenient, and you’re climbing up from the first day. Hey! Lee Hayoon. Are you going to show this disheveled appearance every time you come to Prison Island?”
“S-sorry. H-… ah, no. Guard Asmode…. Hieut eu… euhiit ♡ Haeng.”
“Do it properly. Otherwise, starting tonight I’ll drag one male dog from the Solitary Confinement Area and make you get messed up all night.”
“Hiik!! Yes! Yes, I understand! I’ll do it properly… so, this a bit…! ♡ Eungit…! Ah. Haeu. In front of my little sister…… haeut. Eu… euu. Please… ah aaa…!♡ Euuu.”
The moment he pressed her nipple with his finger like a button, my sister sobbed and trembled. I could tell without needing an explanation. In that instant, she had cum. Touching her heated body with rough hands, it was the climax brought on by a masochist’s instincts. That appearance, if only she were not my sister, looked enviably pleasurable. But still, blood relative. The sight of the sister I trusted and loved being unilaterally dominated was not welcome. Rather, it was unpleasant. I did not know why, but I thought this was because of anger. How could brother-in-law—that kind brother-in-law—treat my sister like that…. All the appearances he had shown in front of me until now felt like pretense.
“Stop… stop it.”
“Come on. Hurry and suck. Take it deep into your throat like you always do.”
Brother-in-law’s cock touched my sister’s lips. Her mouth naturally opening. The cock digging between them… was erect firmly with veins bulging. At that sight, I raised my voice reflexively.
“…I said stop!”
“Heu… euuk…! Ah. Eu…. Nayoon…ah?”
“No. This isn’t right…. This… this isn’t right.”
My head felt empty. A feeling like I had learned something I should not know. Additionally, a feeling of having seen something I should not see was swirling chaotically in my head.
“Ahem. Was I too harsh?”
Seeming to find my appearance pitiful, Asmode stopped the spore stimulation.
“Haeut…! Haa. Haa. Haa. Hu… Nayoonah? Are you okay?”
“Ah… no. This isn’t right.”
“Come on~ Take a deep breath. I’m fine. Nayoonah. This was just to show you. Neither I nor he came here against our will. We came to enjoy, and well… it’s dangerous, but you knew that when you came too. So think of it lightly. Okay? Got it?”
“Eu… eung. Yeah….”
I nodded reflexively. My sister said something more afterward, wrapping her arms around my shoulders, but I could not understand what she was saying. However, the fact that the current appearance of my sister and brother-in-law right before my eyes was again like usual was a small comfort. That the reality I had seen was not a lie. The moment I recognized that the relationship between my sister and brother-in-law I saw in society was not a play to deceive me, I could come to my senses a little. But my heart was pounding painfully. And the anger that had once seeped in did not easily subside. Why was that? Even repeating the question to myself, the answer did not come easily. Just from learning an unknown side, a fierce emotion that could not be easily accepted kept boiling up.
“How is it? Have you calmed down a bit?”
“…Yeah.”
At least my sister’s body heat. The warm embrace of my sister that I felt after a long time soothed my heart on the verge of exploding a little. Incomprehensible situations continued, but for now I nodded. If I did not do so, it felt like the “ordinary appearance” of my sister and brother-in-law I was seeing right now would turn back into unreality.
“Haha. Sorry, sister-in-law. I got too carried away, didn’t I? Ahem. Anyway, please understand. Actually I did worry a lot. From now on sister-in-law and I have to recognize each other as guard and inmate, and I was thinking about how to make us feel that, but it seems I settled on a bad answer.”
“Ah… no. It’s fine….”
“Hmm? Haha. Yeah. It’s fortunate if you think that way. Then please take care of me. Inmate A713, Lee Nayoon?”
“Ah… yes.”
Regardless of my feelings, brother-in-law seemed to be trying to interpret the situation positively.
“Come on~ Nayoonah. Since our cells are different anyway, we won’t run into each other often. It seems I made you worry for nothing, so just think of it as unnie and brother-in-law having come here to play and enjoy~ Don’t worry too much~”
My sister also tried hard to change the atmosphere from the side. Unable to bring myself to speak against that appearance, I could only nod. The lump in my heart had not disappeared, but since I did not know the reason, I could not say anything right now. Yeah. There was no way I could bring it up.
Knock knock.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Leviathan. I’ve come to pick up Inmate A713.”
“Oh. Yeah. Perfect timing.”
At that moment Leviathan knocked on the guard-room door. I could not know the exact time, but it felt like he had come right after training time ended. In the awkward atmosphere, my sister and brother-in-law who had been watching my reaction welcomed his arrival, and thus I finished preparing to return, led by Leviathan’s orders.
“Nayoonah.”
My sister called me. I who had been about to go out turned my head as is and looked at my sister. My sister’s expression was slightly flushed. Was it because of worry for me? But soon, seeing the tattoos engraved on my sister’s skin emitting small lights, I could tell her expression was not because of me. And the words my sister left as well.
“It seems I created an awkward situation for each other by not speaking first. But you know, right? Unnie has always respected your choices. So this time I’d like you to understand that I made this choice. Always be careful, and let’s try not to meet each other at the execution grounds. Got it?”
“…Got it.”
It was not pure worry so much as worry about the time she would enjoy from now on—was that my misunderstanding? In the end, the meeting with my sister ended leaving only one strange lump behind.
On the way back, Leviathan maintained silence for me. As if the conversation I left there was something he did not need to know. He who deliberately maintained a strong silence took me to the labor grounds. There, my cellmates had already started labor.
“Since you’re late, work even harder.”
“…Yes.”
As soon as I arrived at the labor site, handcuffs were put back on my wrists. Handcuffs fastened with both hands gathered in front, just like the other cellmates. Looking at my bound hands again, I thought.
…For some reason, my current situation felt too pitiful.
