Chapter 20: In the Gate (4)
Chapter 20: In the Gate (4)
‘I have to follow her.’
Just as Floss expected, Dark Swan didn’t hesitate for a second to tail her after she claimed she was going to relieve herself. It wasn’t that she intended to peep. At first, she followed out of genuine concern for Floss.
‘What if she suddenly loses consciousness?’
But her attitude soon shifted. The moment Floss stripped away the two thin layers of fabric covering her private parts, concern turned into arousal.
Dark Swan was no fool. She was an adult woman and had pleasured herself before. Thus, the moment she saw Floss’s movements, she knew she hadn't come here to urinate. In the first place, Floss was moving in a way that seemed intentionally designed to show off to Dark Swan.
The way she looked around excessively in a forest where no one but Dark Swan was present. Her slender, jade-like fingers disappearing between her thighs. Her face flushed crimson as if advertising that she was about to do something shameful. And most decisively, her ragged breathing.
“Haah, haah…”
Of course, Dark Swan was sharing many of those same sensations. Though it was hard to see clearly in the dark, her own face was flushed, and her breath was growing heavy.
‘This feeling… I felt it earlier, too.’
Dark Swan felt a strange sense of déjà vu. She thought back to the slime that had fallen from the tree during the day. More accurately, she remembered Floss nearly being toyed with, her top melting away under the slime’s acid.
Watching her then, Dark Swan had been undeniably turned on. Seeing Floss—the hero she respected most, the one she secretly believed was the strongest in terms of pure skill—struggling against a mere slime, the weakest of monsters.
‘I tried to deny it, telling myself I was just startled, but no matter how I look at it…’
If Floss was the type to enjoy the corruption of her own strong self, Dark Swan was the type to get off on seeing the object of her worship or affection being lewdly broken. She simply hadn't realized this preference until now.
Having just discovered it, she was hit by a wave of confusion. She couldn't immediately tell if she just enjoyed watching her role model, Floss, being humiliated, or if she wanted to be the one to break Floss with her own hands.
‘Just watching gives me such a rush of euphoria. But going further is scary.’
Scary didn't mean she didn't want to do it. It just meant she wanted to, but felt a bit burdened by the idea. It was a flimsy defense mechanism that would collapse the moment someone gave her a little push from behind.
‘By the way, has Senior not noticed I’m here?’
Meanwhile, Floss was engrossed in her masturbation, deliberately pretending not to notice Dark Swan hiding behind the tree.
Watching her, Dark Swan also began to emit wet, squelching sounds. Of course, she instinctively stifled her moans for fear of being caught, but since she had been spotted from the very beginning, it was a pointless effort.
‘Senior, working so hard to fiddle with her pussy all by herself… She’s so cute… Seeing her like this, she doesn’t look like a cool senior hero, but just a younger sister a few years younger than me. I want to cherish her…’
It was unclear what Floss was using as mental fodder, but Dark Swan’s was certain. The sight of Floss—who had made the excuse of going to pee, only to strip off her panties and skirt in the middle of the forest to squat and poke at her pussy—was the ultimate material.
The usual spirited expression was nowhere to be found on Floss’s face. There was only the face of a bitch in heat, completely melted by the pleasurable squelching. Her modest but cute panties had long been cast aside, and her beautiful Magical Girl dress looked vulgar because of her nipples poking out, hard and erect.
‘It reminds me of the Female Hero Gallery Back Alley…’
Funny enough, what came to mind at that moment was an internet community, the Female Hero Gallery. Specifically, the "Female Hero Gallery Back Alley," a space where users primarily shared lewd creative works related to female heroes. Like any rookie hero prone to ego-surfing, Dark Swan frequently searched her own name there, just like Floss did.
The difference was that she didn't just search her own name; she also searched for her favorite hero, Floss. That was how she had accidentally stumbled upon the Back Alley and seen the exact same things Floss had.
— "What is this?!"
But back then, Dark Swan had simply run away in fear. She had been horrified by that massive collection of lust. Since she was only C-Rank and not yet famous, there weren't as many search results as there were for Floss, but Dark Swan was still fairly popular thanks to her looks.
‘Back then, I couldn't understand you people who claimed to be fans while lewdly breaking heroes in drawings and stories… but now, I think I understand.’
Everything looks different when you put yourself in someone else's shoes. Dark Swan now understood the users of the Back Alley who wanted to see Floss broken, and who wanted to see her broken as well.
‘And if possible, they’d want to be the ones to break them.’
Dark Swan finally admitted her desires to herself as she reached a climax in sync with Floss.
‘…Yes, seeing Senior broken is definitely a turn-on. And if I’m the one who brought her to that point, it’ll be many times hotter.’
While Floss, having forgotten her goal of provoking her sidekick and simply wanting to come one more time, began a second round of masturbation by tweaking her nipples… Dark Swan began to devise a plan to bring down the strongest hero.
‘My ability has good compatibility against Senior.’
Magical Girl Floss had almost no weaknesses. Her highly developed physical abilities had personally demonstrated that she could easily shrug off magic or science.
But even the strongest had minor openings. As a fellow hero, sidekick, and ardent fan, she knew. If anything, her time as a fan was much longer than the other two roles. It wasn't an exaggeration to say she knew all of Floss’s official records by heart.
Until now, she had denied the existence of those weaknesses because Floss had to be the perfect hero to her. But now that she had grown to love the idea of Floss being broken, she had no reason to hesitate.
‘The only thing that works on Senior is mental-type abilities. Technically, my sleep ability falls under that category.’
Of course, Dark Swan had a clear grasp of her own level. She was a person with a firm sense of self-objectivity. She knew her sleep ability wouldn't work as a direct hit on Floss.
If the opponent were an elderly person or a child, she could make someone walking perfectly fine in broad daylight suddenly fall into a deep slumber. But if the opponent was a monster or an adult male, it wasn't easy unless she used all her strength, and if it was a hero or a villain, it was nearly impossible.
‘However… once Senior is already asleep, I can add an effect to make her sleep more deeply so she won't wake up easily even if someone touches her.’
And for Dark Swan right now, that was enough.
During the week they would spend inside the Gate, Dark Swan wanted to take the night watch every single day without fail. Unlike today, where she had been bored with nothing to do while awake alone at night, it seemed like she would have something fun to do starting tomorrow.
“Haaah… ugh, ngh, ahhh♡”
Leaving behind Floss, who was letting out vulgar moans, Dark Swan headed back to the campsite first.
*
“…My body feels strange lately.”
“What’s wrong? Is something hurting…?”
“No, the opposite. It’s actually weird how refreshed I feel.”
Since entering the Gate, I’ve been having a bizarre experience. I’m clearly sleeping on the hard ground inside a basic sleeping bag, yet for some reason, I feel like the quality of my sleep is better than when I sleep at home.
“It’s definitely not my imagination. It’s really strange.”
I tidied up my sleeping bag while glancing at Dark Swan. In truth, there was one more fact about this bizarre experience I hadn't mentioned.
‘Do women’s bodies usually change like this when their sleeping environment suddenly shifts?’
I wasn't sure if it was always this bad, but lately, my crotch was often sticky when I woke up. My body was frequently flushed, as if I’d been having lewd dreams.
Just like on the first day, I tried masturbating at night as a test, intending to show Dark Swan my pathetic side again, but I was shocked to find my sensitivity had increased far more than before I entered the Gate. I let out a loud moan without realizing it and even worried if I might attract monsters.
It wasn't just one specific area that had become more sensitive. Starting from my breasts and nipples to my clitoris, my butt, and even deep inside my vagina, everything felt more responsive.
‘I can’t exactly ask about this.’
I felt like I’d vaguely heard somewhere about producing a lot of love juice while sleeping, but since there was no cell service inside the Gate, I couldn't look it up. And it was difficult to ask Dark Swan, who was my junior as a hero but my senior as a woman.
‘I might get reported for sexual harassment.’
It was a bit ridiculous, even to me, that I was so strict about this while casually showing off my masturbation, but it couldn't be helped. Even if I could do crazy things without a second thought when my "bitch switch" was on, my old personality remained when it wasn't.
‘Well, whatever. This forest probably just has some weird effect. If that’s the case, Dark Swan must be feeling the same way, so let’s not bother asking.’
Actually, now wasn't the time for leisurely consultations like on the first day. It was about time to hunt the Boss Monster of this Gate.
“Shall we search separately today?”
“Separately?”
Once ten days pass after a Gate forms, the monsters inside can come out and run wild. Therefore, the most important thing for a hero is to kill the Boss Monster and close the Gate as quickly as possible.
“It’ll be a problem if the time limit passes and the slimes get out.”
“Wait, isn't there a whole line of troops stationed in front for Gate management?”
“I have my reputation to consider. The Chairman trusted me to handle both sidekick training and the boss subjugation. If I can’t even carry out this simple mission, I won't be able to show my face.”
Dark Swan nodded as if she understood. However, she still looked uneasy about being separated from me. I guess a rookie is still a rookie.
…In truth, I was saying this with the intention of more dramatically setting up the scene where Dark Swan catches me being raped by a slime, so I felt a slight pang of guilt.
“Haha, normally the boss would come find us immediately because an intruder appeared in its territory, but this is getting a bit troublesome.”
“I agree. To think it would sense Senior’s presence and actually go into hiding.”
“Right? What a total coward.”
Beasts and monsters are the same. If a manageable enemy appears, they step out to drive them from their territory, but if they realize the opponent is overwhelmingly powerful, they just hide in a corner and pray for the enemy to leave. It’s the difference between a defense game and a horror game where you die the moment you’re caught.
“Still, it’s a dangerous enemy for you, so if you find it, back off and come find me first.”
“Understood. You said it would be larger than a normal slime, right?”
“Yeah, be careful.”
Since we entered the day after the Gate was discovered, we had nine days. However, I set the target clearance goal at seven days for safety. And today was the fifth day since we entered.
In other words, I had to catch the boss within three days, including today. I didn't know where it was hiding so well, but since crushing it would be easy once I found it, I wanted to find it as soon as possible.
‘Let’s get this defeat play moving, you bastard.’
That way, I could be raped by the slime and show it to Dark Swan.
It had to be the large Boss Slime. Normal slimes were only big enough to cover my breasts, so it didn't feel right. It’s an overstatement to say you’re being raped by something that can barely transform into a large dildo.
“…Finally found you.”
How long had I been walking? I found the Boss Slime deep within the forest.
Unlike the normal slimes, I could tell at a glance by its size—large enough to cover my entire body—that this was the Boss Slime. But that wasn't the only thing that set it apart.
‘Blue…?’
While most other slimes were green to blend in with the environment, the boss was blue. It might seem like a small thing, but it implied quite a lot.
“Pfft, were you in your breeding season?”
When slimes enter their breeding season, their color changes. Instead of prioritizing survival by blending into nature, they change to a distinct color to attract females who will serve as breeding vessels for new slime offspring.
It might look funny at first glance, but it was actually effective. After all, I was the one who had been drawn to that color and found the Boss Slime.
“Then you’ll be pumping out real aphrodisiacs, won't you? Well, I guess that’s a plus.”
Since I intended to be raped by the Boss Slime anyway, the corners of my mouth twitched. Even if the effect of the aphrodisiac was minor, having it was better than not. After all, the main point this time wasn't the sex with the slime, but showing my sidekick the sight of me being raped by it.
“Hmph, I’m not even expecting much from getting done by you, you know?”
Schlorp—
The slime, which couldn't understand a word I was saying, slowly extended a tentacle toward me. It had clearly hidden because it was afraid of me, but now that we were face-to-face, it must have been consumed by the breeding instinct to claim a superior female as its broodmother.
“Now, now… you just have to put it in here… Ahh, ah?!”
As I spread my pussy myself, the slowly approaching tentacle suddenly accelerated. Instead of entering my pussy, the slime’s tentacle just slapped it and immediately extended further to seize my breasts. The pair of huge breasts, crushed and distorted by the soft, sticky jelly tentacle, provided intense pleasure along with the pain.
“Ugh, nghhh?!”
What is this? This is weird. Why does it feel so good? Fundamentally, it’s not much different from when I knead my own breasts.
Schlorp, squelch—
However, I soon realized the reason.
“Is my body… feeling way too much…?! Ahhh!”
The slime, which had first latched onto my breasts, soon swallowed my entire body. My clothes all melted away in the mild acid, and as soon as I was naked, the slime began secreting its breeding-season aphrodisiac. Every single pore from head to toe absorbed the slime’s aphrodisiac.
“H-haaaah…♡”
What is it? What changed?
I had been hit by a slime’s aphrodisiac before. Of course, that was a long time ago, before I had even realized my own fetishes. It was shortly after I had first become a hero.
Compared to then, what, and how much, had changed…
‘Everything! My sensitivity, it’s been skyrocketing lately!♡’
There were several reasons why I hadn't expected much from sex with a slime. One of them was the minor effect of the aphrodisiac, but I never imagined it would feel this good when combined with my increased sensitivity.
The aphrodisiac of a breeding-season slime was pretty much the same then as it was now, but I was the one who had changed. I had become a woman who could feel pleasure from anywhere—breasts, pussy, butt… and so I was becoming even more aroused by the slime’s sticky caresses.
“M-my nipples—♡ If you pull them like that… ugh… nooo♡”
And the second reason I hadn't expected much from the slime’s sex: I had already experienced sex with an invisible molester. While both could thrust into my pussy, there was a world of difference between a human male, who could whisper appropriately lewd things in my ear and share an emotional exchange, and a monster.
‘But this… is a different, yet quite decent flavor…♡’
Certainly, the slime lacked the ability to make me feel ashamed or humiliated. It had no reason.
However, the sex—driven by pure instinct to impregnate me, to inject slime offspring into my womb, and treating me with insane violence—was only possible because it was a mindless monster.
This wasn't sex. I had been completely mistaken. What I was experiencing from the slime right now was simply mating.
“Wait… I get it…! I’ll be your breeding vessel, so♡ just stop for a second…! Because of the aphrodisiac you’re pumping out while clinging to my whole body… h-eek♡ I’m completely pickled in it, it’s hard to even think…!”
I hadn't even been penetrated yet. It was just applying the aphrodisiac all over me from head to toe. This was merely the process of turning me into a female thoroughly prepared to be mated by a slime.
But even this felt like my brain was going to burn. In the process of injecting the aphrodisiac, it would tickle my nipples and then suck and pull on them, or harass my tits and butt as if squeezing them with a man’s hands, or send stimulation to my clitoris every time it moved.
“Hyaaaaang…!!”
When I first saw the slime, it was barely large enough to cover my body. But as it harassed me, it absorbed the pussy juice I leaked and gradually grew in size. I quickly realized that this was why slimes craved strong females.
“W-where are you going…♡”
In the meantime, the slime was moving somewhere. Once it reached a size where it could move while carrying me inside, it began to move in search of someone else while continuing to prepare my pussy for mating.
‘Don’t tell me, Dark Swan too…?’
Naturally, slimes don't practice monogamy. I wouldn't be the slime’s only breeding vessel. In fact, as it moved, the slime casually swallowed up animals, gave them a piece of itself, and immediately tossed them aside.
A terrifying monster that could turn an opponent into a breeding vessel in just that short process—that was a slime. If even I finished my preparation to be a host, would it put a slime inside my womb and just toss me aside?
‘Then next, would it be Dark Swan’s turn…?’
Gulp.
That can’t happen. Regardless of whether that situation is hot or not, as a senior hero, I have to stop a junior hero from being taken by such a lowly magical creature. Even if I’m held inside the slime like this, it would be easy to blow it up if I used my power…
‘N-no. I can’t give up the main dish of the defeat play I’ve been preparing for a week…’
Even though I could kill the slime at any time, I couldn't do it because I was so looking forward to the look of contempt Dark Swan would give me the moment she saw this. Besides all that, the process of being "prepared for mating" by the slime right now was just too arousing.
“Stop! Please stop♡ I’ll, I’ll give birth to your wonderful babies! I’m enough on my own♡ So please, just be satisfied with me…”
Schlorp—
“Y-you won't even listen? Violating a woman’s human rights… ngh! Taking away my dignity, and turning me and my junior from people into mere breeding vessels… haah?! That’s what you’re saying you’ll do!♡”
Squelch—
“I-I’m sorry! I won't be loud anymore♡ So stop spreading my butt pussy like that♡ I haven't used that place yet! I don't want to give my first time there to a monster♡ Please, please use me as a breeding vessel♡ I’ll work hard to give birth to slime babies♡”
In the silent forest, only the sticky sounds of the slime and my filthy, vulgar moans echoed. Since it was usually such a quiet place, it was a foregone conclusion that Dark Swan would sense something was wrong and come here.
‘After Dark Swan catches me like this… what will happen…?’
Until now, my mental defeat play only went as far as being caught; there was nothing after that.
But a great idea just occurred to me. Hadn't I come here to handle sidekick training at the same time?
Since the ultimate pleasure I could teach her was currently wrapped around my body, today’s lesson was as good as decided.
